NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
For the six months ended 31 December 2020
(Express in Renminbi)
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2020 ("Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements set out in Appendix 16 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and the Hong Kong Accounting Standard ("HKAS") 34 "Interim financial reporting", issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"). These Financial Statements are presented in Renminbi ("RMB") and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.
The Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosure required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
The Group has adopted the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 and the following revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs", which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, HKASs and interpretations) issued by the HKICPA for the first time for these Financial Statements.
Amendments to HKFRS 3 | Definition of a Business |
Amendments to HKFRS 9, | Interest Rate Benchmark Reform |
HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7 | |
Amendment to HKFRS 16 | Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions |
Amendments to HKAS 1 | Definition of Material |
and HKAS 8 | |
11 | |
Kingwell Group Limited INTERIM REPORT 2020/2021 |
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (Continued)
The nature and the impact of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 and the revised HKFRSs that are applicable to the Group are described below:
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 (the "Conceptual Framework") sets out a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting and standard setting, and provides guidance for preparers of financial statements in developing consistent accounting policies and assistance to all parties to understand and interpret the standards. The Conceptual Framework includes new chapters on measurement and reporting financial performance, new guidance on the derecognition of assets and liabilities, and updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities. It also clarifies the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. The Conceptual Framework is not a standard, and none of the concepts contained therein override the concepts or requirements in any standard. The Conceptual Framework did not have any significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
Amendments to HKFRS 3 clarify and provide additional guidance on the definition of a business. The amendments clarify that for an integrated set of activities and assets to be considered a business, it must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. A business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs.
The amendments remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of acquiring the business and continue to produce outputs. Instead, the focus is on whether acquired inputs and acquired substantive processes together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The amendments have also narrowed the definition of outputs to focus on goods or services provided to customers, investment income or other income from ordinary activities. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance to assess whether an acquired process is substantive and introduce an optional fair value concentration test to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The Group has applied the amendments prospectively to transactions or other events that occurred on or after 1 July 2020. The amendments did not have any infect on the financial position and performance of the Group.
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (Continued)
Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8 provide a new definition of material. The new definition states that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information. The amendments did not have any significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
3. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
For management purpose, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services and has two reportable operating segments as follows:
(a) the property development, property leasing and property management services segment engages in the development of villas, apartments and commercial buildings, property leasing of self-owned properties, the sale of carpark spaces, and provision of property management services and construction services; and
(b) the gold mining segment engages in the production and sale of gold.
Management monitors the results of the Group's operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit/loss, which is a measure of adjusted profit/loss before tax. The adjusted profit/loss before tax is measured consistently with the Group's loss before tax except that interest income, finance costs, as well as head office and corporate expenses are excluded from such measurement.
Segment assets exclude deferred tax assets and other unallocated head office and corporate assets, as these assets are managed on a group basis.
Segment liabilities exclude tax payable, deferred tax liabilities and other unallocated head office and corporate liabilities, as these liabilities are managed on a group basis.

No provision for Hong Kong profits tax has been made (2019: Nil) as the Group did not generate any assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the period. Taxes on profits assessable elsewhere have been calculated at the rates of tax prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates, based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof.
8. LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY
The calculation of the basic loss per share amount is based on the loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company of RMB3,388,000 (2019:
RMB2,044,000), and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 2,887,243,911 (2019: 2,884,091,737) in issue during the period.
8. LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY (Continued)
The calculation of the diluted loss per share amount is based on the loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation is the number of ordinary shares in issue during that period, as used in the basic loss per share calculation, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares assumed to have been issued at no consideration on the deemed exercise or conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
No adjustment has been made to the basic loss per share amount presented for the periods ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, in respect of a dilution as the impact of the share options and non-redeemable convertible preferred shares outstanding had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share amount presented.
9. DIVIDENDS
No interim dividends were declared for the six months ended 31 December 2020 and 2019.

Kingwell Group Limited INTERIM REPORT 2020/2021 |
10. TRADE RECEIVABLES (Continued)
The Group's trade receivables arise from the sale of properties and provision of property management services, construction services and sales agency services. Consideration in respect of the properties sold are payable by the buyers in accordance with the terms of the related sale and purchase agreements. A credit period of generally 6 months is granted to the property developer for whom the Group provides management services, construction services and sales agency services. Advanced payment is normally required for the property owners for whom the Group provides management services. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by management. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade receivable balances. Trade receivables are non-interest-bearing.
11. TRADE PAYABLES

13. LEASES
(a) The Group as a lessee
The Group has lease contracts for its office premise. The lease terms of all the lease contracts end within 12 months and the Group applies the short-term lease exemption upon adoption of HKFRS 16. An expense relating to the short-term lease of RMB313,000 was included in administrative expenses during the period ended 31 December 2020.
(b) The Group as a lessor
The Group leases its investment properties consisting of certain commercial properties in Mainland China under operating lease arrangements. The terms of the leases generally also require the tenants to pay security deposits and fixed rent. Rental income recognised by the Group during the period was RMB192,000 (2019: RMB191,000).
At 31 December 2020, the undiscounted lease payments receivable by the Group in future periods under non-cancellable operating leases with its tenants are as follows:

Management has assessed that the fair values of trade receivables, financial assets included in deposits and other receivables, pledged deposits, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables, and financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals, approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
The Group's finance department headed by the chief financial officer is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments. The finance manager reports directly to the chief financial officer and the Audit Committee. At each reporting date, the finance department analyses the movements in the values of financial instruments and determines the major inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation is reviewed and approved by the chief financial officer.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The fair value of non-redeemable convertible preferred shares has been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. The Group's own non-performance risk for the non-redeemable convertible preferred shares at the end of each of the periods was assessed to be insignificant.

Some of the properties are held by the Group as investment purpose to generate rental income. Properties held by the Group for investment purpose are classified as investment properties and stated at fair value as at 31 December 2020.
During the Period, the PRC property market condition was more difficult as compared with the last year, but the sale of properties and rendering of property management service business in PRC, continued to contribute positive contribution to the Group.
During the Period, the property development, property leasing and property management services segment recorded a profit of approximately RMB2,519,000 as compared to a profit of approximately RMB7,359,000 in 2019. As at 31 December 2020, the property development, property leasing and property management services business had segment assets of approximately RMB139,676,000 (30 June 2020: RMB140,378,000) and segment liabilities of approximately RMB32,068,000 (30 June 2020: RMB32,396,000). The property development, property leasing and property management services shared 74% of the Group's total assets.
Gold Mining Business
The Group owned 34,230 shares ("51% equity interests") of Commerce Prosper Limited and investment costs was US$13 million (RMB81.7 million). Commerce Prosper Limited owned 100% equity interests of Zolotoy Standart Limited (the "Gold Mining Company"). The Gold Mining Company is a company established under the laws of Russian Federation with limited liability and currently operates and owns the legal and beneficial interest in a mining project related to the mine. With an aggregate mining area of about 309.3 square kilometres, the mine is operated by the Gold Mining Company and located in Molchan river, Zeyskiy region, Amur area, the Russian Federation. The Group has exploration and exploitation rights on the same area (BLG02398BR) with an expiry date on 31 December 2027.
Since the mining area is too large and the rock composition in the northern Molchan region is complex, the Gold Mining Company planned to conduct small scale production prior to large scale exploitation, which is common for all the mining exercise. The Gold Mining Company had submitted the plan of exploitation to the local government in October 2017. However, due to the increase in number of wildfire and environmental destruction incidents caused by mining activities during 2017, the Russian authority raised the environmental protection requirements on exploitation applications at the beginning of 2018. As the Group signed an outsourcing contract with a third party which modified the original submitted plan, the Group was required to re-submit a new plan of exploitation which satisfies the tightened regulation. The Group has filed the reschedules in November 2018 and obtained the exploitation approval within the year of 2020. According to the new legal requirements in Russia, it is very difficult to get the working visa for the PRC workers. In this case, the outsourcing contractor had employed the local Russian worker for this project. Due to the Covid-19, the Group has changed the exploitation plan and postponed the normal production of the Russia gold mine to protect our staff and outsourcing contractor staff. The Group expects the Russia gold mine will only maintain the minimum operation by the outsourcing contractor in 2021. During the period, the Group had sold the gold sand from the trial run production.
During the Period, the gold mining segment recorded a loss of approximately RMB496,000 as compared to a loss of approximately RMB1,461,000 in 2019.

The gold mining segment shared 22% of the Group's total assets. There was no dividend income from the gold mining segment during the Period.
BUSINESS PROSPECTS

The real estate project is comprising various types of properties including villas, apartments and commercial buildings. The Group are implementing the precautionary measures against Covid-19 to protect our staff and customers. These situation will affect the sales income in the future. Although the property market is under great pressure, the Directors expect that the Anlu Taihe will continue to generate positive cashflow.
