    As at 31 December 2020, the Group had net current liabilities of RMB2,046,659,000 and incurred net loss of RMB665,179,000 and had net cash used in operating activities of RMB241,422,000 for the nine months ended 31 December 2020. However, the directors of the Company do not consider that material uncertainties related to events or conditions exist which, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. This is because:

    • - the Group has obtained a financial support letter from Qujiang Financial Holdings (the controlling shareholder of Qujiang Investment), a state-owned enterprise, who has agreed to provide indefinite loan facility of RMB2 billion to the Group and provide guarantees for the loan facilities from banks or any other financial institutions. Also, Qujiang Financial Holdings has agreed to extend its short-term loans granted to the Group of RMB690,000,000 (see Note 12(a)) when they fall due;

  • 7 BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

    The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of RMB635,095,000 (year ended 31 March 2020: RMB1,279,095,000) and the weighted average number of 2,326,151,000 ordinary and convertible preference shares (year ended 31 March 2020: 2,323,693,000 ordinary and convertible preference shares) in issue during the period.

    The holder of the convertible preference shares is entitled to receive the same rate of dividends/distributions as the holders of ordinary shares. Accordingly, for the purpose of the calculation of basic loss per share, the convertible preference shares issued have been included in the calculation of the weighted average number of shares in issue.

employment and people's livelihoods were better protected,

and the national economy continued to recover steadily. In

2020, the shift in economic growth rate from negative to

positive was successfully achieved, and the overall social

situation remained stable.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the service industry continued to recover steadily in 2020. As a preliminary estimate, the added-value of the service industry was RMB55,397.7 billion, representing an increase of 2.1% as compared to last year. The added-value of the service industry accounted for 54.5% of the gross domestic product ("GDP") of China, representing an increase of 0.2 percentage points as compared to that of last year. The added-value of the service industry in the fourth quarter was RMB15,272.8 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 6.7%. The modern service industry continuously developed in a fast pace. In 2020, the added-value of the information transmission, software and information technology service industry, the financial industry and the real estate industry increased by 16.9%, 7.0% and 2.9%, respectively, as compared to that of last year, resulting in an increase of 2.7 percentage points in the added-value of the service industry, which strongly supported the recovery of the overall economy. The transformation and enhancement of the service industry was stable. New consumption models such as online shopping, live-stream sales and online take-away ordering achieved robust growth. In 2020, the online retail sales of commodity goods increased by 14.8% from that of last year, which was 18.7 percentage points higher than the growth rate of the total retail sales of consumer goods, and accounted for 24.9% of the total retail sales of consumer goods. The business volume of express delivery amounted to 83.36 billion pieces, representing a growth rate of 31.2% as compared to that of last year. There have been continued demands for various new consumption models, such as online offices, online education and remote diagnosis. From January to November 2020, the cumulative traffic of mobile Internet across the country reached 149.50 billion GB, representing a year-on-year growth rate of 35.1%.

In 2020, market sales improved every quarter. Total retail sales of consumer goods amounted to RMB39,198.1 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 3.9%, which narrowed by 3.3 percentage points as compared to the first three quarters of 2020. Market sales showed a trend of recovery on a quarterly basis, and the consumer market recovery continued. In December 2020, total retail sales of consumer goods kept growing, and market sales achieved a year-on-year increase for five consecutive months. Online consumption has been growing rapidly. Under the epidemic, demand for household consumption increased significantly, and the growth of "stay-at-home economy" has driven the accelerated development of a new consumption model. In 2020, national online retail sales increased by 10.9% as compared to the previous year, which was 1.2 percentage points over the first three quarters of 2020. On the other hand, offline consumption improved significantly. The impact of the epidemic on face-to-face consumption is more obvious. In the first quarter, there were sharp decreases in both physical store traffic and merchandise sales. With the restoration of living order of residents, the going-out consumption activities of the residents increased steadily. As the pedestrian flow among physical stores has obviously rebound, offline consumption showed a trend of recovery. In 2020, the retail sales of supermarket products (above designated size) increased by 3.1% as compared to that of the previous year, which was 0.2 percentage points over the first three quarters of 2020. The decline in retail sales of department stores, specialty stores and exclusive stores narrowed by 6.8, 3.8 and 5.4 percentage points, respectively, from the first three quarters of 2020, and narrowed by 25.1, 19.3 and 27.3 percentage points, respectively, from the first quarter. The growth of resident income was basically in line with economic growth. In 2020, the per capita disposable income of residents nationwide was RMB32,189, representing a nominal increase of 4.7% as compared to the previous year. After excluding the price factor, the per capita disposable income of residents nationwide increased by 2.1%, which was basically in line with the economic growth. In 2020, the per capita disposable income of residents nationwide doubled from that of 2010. As such, after excluding the price factor, the per capita disposable income of residents nationwide actually increased by 7.2% annually on average and by 100.8% on a cumulative basis within ten years from 2011 to 2020, which means that the per capita disposable income of residents nationwide doubled from that of 2010.

༰εi਷ʫޥઋ̮ԣ፩ɝeʫԣᓒ౳ٙᏀɢ

that the international environment remains complex and

ᘽΣλਿᓾʥცቩոf

of guarding against imported cases and avoiding internal

outbreak is not small, the economy is still in the process of

recovery, and the foundation for sustained recovery needs to

be strengthened.

In terms of the situation in Xi'an, as the epidemic prevention and control situation has become stable, the results of the policies to expand domestic demand and promote consumption have become apparent, market consumption has gradually become active, and the recovery momentum of the consumer market has continuously gained strength. In 2020, the total output value of Xi'an reached RMB1,002.039 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.2%, based on comparable price. The growth rate was 2.9 percentage points and 3.0 percentage points higher than that of the country and the Shaanxi province, respectively. In terms of industries, the added-value of the primary industry was RMB31.275 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 3.0%.

In general, Xi'an's GDP growth remained relatively high in 2020. With the rapid narrowing of the decrease in the total retail sales of consumer goods and the total retail sales of commodities of enterprises above designated size, the growth rate of retail sales of goods increased significantly. The consumption stimulus measures have continued to be effective, with commodity consumption gradually picking up and the wholesale and retail sectors recovering rapidly, leading to a rapid decline in the decrease in commodity retail sales. The overall economic environment has been relatively optimistic as the consumer goods market continues to recover.

The competition among the department store markets in Xi'an remains fierce in the context of the epidemic. According to statistics, more than 20 department stores and shopping centers have opened and will open in Xi'an in 2020 and 2021, including influential companies, such as "Longfor Xiangti Paradise Walk", "Chanba IMIX Park", "Fengxi Wuyue Plaza", "Lifeng Urban Life Plaza", as well as new market entrants including "Xi'an Suning Plaza". On the other hand, traditional department stores in Xi'an such as "Parkson" and "Minsheng" have also accelerated the closure of stores in old commercial districts. It can be seen from this that, as new companies continue to enter and new strong players have continuous access to the commercial retail market of Xi'an, long-established companies and companies that have lost competitiveness are leaving the market one after another, reflecting the growth in the intensity of market competition and elimination rate.
