NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-
CORPORATION AND GROUP INFORMATION
The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The registered address of the Company is P.O. Box 1350, Clifton House, 75 Fort Street, Grand Cayman KY1-1108, Cayman Islands. The principal place of business of the Company is located at 4/F., Sze Hing Industrial Building, 35-37 Lee Chung Street, Chai Wan, Hong Kong.
The Company is an investment holding company. The Group were engaged in the manufacture and sale of printing products during the year. - BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") (which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("HKASs") and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss which has been measured at fair value. These financial statements are presented in thousands of Hong Kong dollars ("HK$'000"), unless otherwise stated. - CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
The Group has adopted the following new and revised HKFRSs for the first time for the current year's financial statements.
Amendments to HKFRS 9 HKFRS 16 Amendment to HKFRS 16 Amendments to HKAS 19 Amendments to HKAS 28 HK(IFRIC)-Int 23 Annual Improvements to
HKFRSs 2015-2017 Cycle
Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation Leases
COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions (early adopted) Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
Amendments to HKFRS 3, HKFRS 11, HKAS 12 and HKAS 23
Other than as explained below regarding the impact of HKFRS 16 and amendment to HKFRS 16, the adoption of the above new and revised HKFRSs has had no significant financial effect on the Group's financial statements.
- 4 -
-
HKFRS 16 replaces HKAS 17 Leases, HK(IFRIC)-Int4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, HK(SIC)-Int15 Operating Leases - Incentives and HK(SIC)-Int27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balancesheet model to recognise and measure right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, except for certain recognition exemptions. Lessor accounting under HKFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from HKAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify leases as either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in HKAS 17.
The Group has adopted HKFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method with the date of initial application of 1 July 2019. Under this method, the standard has been applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initial adoption recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained profits at 1 July 2019, and the comparative information for 2019 was not restated and continued to be reported under HKAS 17 and related interpretations.
New definition of a lease
Under HKFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset. The Group elected to use the transition practical expedient allowing the standard to be applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 at the date of initial application. Contracts that were not identified as leases under HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 were not reassessed. Therefore, the definition of a lease under HKFRS 16 has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 July 2019.
As a lessee - Leases previously classified as operating leases
Nature of the effect of adoption of HKFRS 16
The Group has lease contracts for various items of buildings. As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as either finance leases or operating leases based on the assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets to the Group. Under HKFRS 16, the Group applies a single approach to recognise and measure right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases, except for the elective exemptions for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less ("short-term leases") (elected by class of underlying asset). Instead of recognising rental expenses under operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term commencing from 1 July 2019, the Group recognises depreciation (and impairment, if any) of the right-of-use assets and interest accrued on the outstanding lease liabilities (as finance costs).
- 5 -
Impact on transition
Lease liabilities at 1 July 2019 were recognised based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 2019. The right-of-use assets were measured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the lease recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position immediately before 1 July 2019.
All these assets were assessed for any impairment based on HKAS 36 on that date. The Group elected to present the right-of-use assets separately in the statement of financial position.
The Group has used the following elective practical expedient when applying HKFRS 16 at 1 July 2019:
- Applying the short-term lease exemptions to leases with a lease term that ends within 12 months from the date of initial application
Financial impact at 1 July 2019 | |

- Amendment to HKFRS 16 provides a practical expedient for lessees to elect not to apply lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and only if (i) the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change; (ii) any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and (iii) there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. The amendment is effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020 with earlier application permitted.
During the year ended 30 June 2020, certain monthly lease payments for the leases of the Group's buildings have been reduced or waived by the lessors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and there are no other changes to the terms of the leases. The Group has early adopted the amendment on 1 July 2019 and elected not to apply lease modification accounting for all rent concessions granted by the lessors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic during the year ended 30 June 2020. Accordingly, a reduction in the lease payments arising from the rent concessions of HK$485,000 has been accounted for as a variable lease payment by derecognising part of the lease liabilities and crediting to profit or loss for the year ended 30 June 2020.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
REVIEW OF OPERATION
The Group is a one-stop printing service provider. Our printing services can be broadly categorised into (i) packaging printing services which cover, among others, corrugated boxes, gift boxes, card boxes and product boxes; (ii) paper gift set printing services (previously known as booklet printing) which cover, among others, gift sets containing gift boxes, cards, booklets and hardback books; (iii) card printing services which cover, among others, colour cards, insert cards, warranty cards and plain cards; (iv) smart package printing services (previously known as IT Technology printing) which cover, among others, Near-field communications ("NFC") tags, Radio-frequency Identification ("RFID") labels and Real QR code; and (v) other printing services which cover, among others, stickers, colour papers, yupo papers and red packets.
The printing industry is facing intense competition. Besides, the outbreak and spread of novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") clouded the economic landscape of the worldwide and China. Although the printing industry is not directly impacted, the spread of COVID-19 has negatively influenced the customers' willingness to spend on printing and promotion. The above factor poses challenges to the Group's business operations.
The Group's revenue increased by approximately 10.6% to approximately HK$311.8 million for the year ended 30 June 2020 compared to last year. The increase of the Group's revenue is mainly due to the increase in contribution from packaging and paper gift set printing services as a result of the optimisation of the order combination. The gross profit also increased by approximately 13.4% from approximately HK$101.1 million for the year ended 30 June 2019 to approximately HK$114.7 million for the year ended 30 June 2020, as a result of the increase in revenue and the steady raw material costs.
Following the increase in revenue and the steady paper costs, our gross profit margin also increase from approximately 35.9% during the year ended 30 June 2019 to approximately 36.8% during the year ended 30 June 2020. Our profit for the year increased by approximately HK$12.6 million from approximately HK$32.3 million for the year ended 30 June 2019 to approximately HK$44.9 million for the year ended 30 June 2020, as a result of the optimisation of the order combination and the stringent cost control policies placed by management. The net profit margin increased from approximately 11.4% for the year ended 30 June 2019 to approximately 14.4% for the year ended 30 June 2020.
Basic earnings per share for the year ended 30 June 2020 was HK9.34 cents, compared to a basic earnings per share of HK6.72 cents for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Furthermore, volatility of material costs, increase in labour costs, and the imposition of various stringent environmental control requirements in China also posed additional challenges to the Group's business operations and growth in the future.
To cope with the abovementioned challenges, and to maintain the market competitiveness of the Group, the management has taken various steps to mitigate the Group's operational risk, such as a better control over our manufacturing costs in order to make our printing products to be more competitive in the market and be cautious on the pricing of our printing products. In addition, our Group explores opportunities on promoting the smart package and sustainable products to our customers, which can differentiate ourselves from others. With the Group's experienced management team and reputation in the printing industry, our management believes the Group is well-equipped to face the forthcoming challenges and to maintain sustainable growth.

Note 1: The Group has delayed the plan of relocation of the Shenzhen Factory as stated in Note 2 below, and hence we have also deferred the progress of purchasing Four Presses by stages. We have kept searching for upgrade of our machines in the market and utilised the relevant proceeds from the initial public offering of approximately HK$42.1 million up to the date of this announcement for purchase of press and related machines to improve the overall production efficiency. As we are undergoing the relocation plan to the new factory, we expect to fully utilise the relevant proceeds on or before 31 December 2022.
Note 2: With reference to the "Voluntary Announcement - Business Updates" dated 6 September 2019, the Group has entered into a Cooperation Framework Agreement to develop and construct a factory, office building, staff dormitory and utilities (the "New Properties") on a piece of self-owned industrial land by an independent third party located in Huizhou City. To the best knowledge of the Directors, it is expected the practical completion of the New Properties will be in August 2021. The existing tenancy agreement of the Shenzhen factory will be expired in March 2022. Hence, we expect to fully utilise the relevant proceeds on or before 31 March 2022.

Note 3: As we cannot locate the service provider with the relevant experience in printing industry, we have delayed the progress of updating our ERP system. We have already utilised HK$0.2 million to an independent third party consultant to evaluate our existing ERP system, and we are searching for the suitable service provider. Therefore, we expect to fully utilise the relevant proceeds on or before 31 December 2022 after we have been relocated to our new factory.
On 10 January 2017, the Group have entered into a legally binding memorandum of understanding (the "MOU") with an independent third party (the "New Landlord"). Pursuant to the MOU, we have the right to lease, and the New Landlord shall lease to us, for three years (with an option to renew granted for us for further three years), some of the area as our new plant (the "New Plant") within the piece of land located at Xiagang Community, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, the PRC (中華人民共和國廣東省東莞市廈崗社區) for industrial use.
However, the New Landlord has sold the land together with the New Plant to an independent third party, and hence there is a delay for the relocation plan and the Group may not be able to relocate the factory as originally scheduled as mentioned in the section headed "Future Plans and Use of Proceeds" in the Prospectus. Please refer to the "Voluntary Announcement - Business Updates" dated 11 July 2018 for details.
On 3 June 2019, the Group entered into a cooperation framework agreement (the "Cooperation Framework Agreement") in relation to the leasing and relocation of the Group's Shenzhen Factory to the new plant.
According to the Cooperation Framework Agreement, an Independent Third Party (the "Developer") shall develop and construct the New Properties on a piece of self-owned industrial land located in Huizhou City (惠州市) in the PRC.
To the best knowledge of the Directors, it is expected that the negotiating, finalising and signing of the Tenancy Agreement would take place by the fourth quarter of 2021, a separate Tenancy Agreement to lease the New Properties shall be entered into between the Developer and the Group after negotiation and obtaining the approval from the relevant PRC authorities.
The Company will make further announcement(s), as and when appropriate, in relation to the status of the construction and leasing of the New Properties, the Cooperation Framework Agreement and the relocation plan of the Group in accordance with the Listing Rules.
