Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Rules") and with the Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies adopted in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2020 are consistent with those in preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
On 23 December 2019, the Company completed the acquisition (the "Ziegler Acquisition") of 60% equity interests of Albert Ziegler GmbH ("Ziegler") from CIMC Top Gear B.V., a subsidiary of China International Marine Containers (Group) Limited ("CIMC"), the Company's controlling shareholder. The consideration of EUR31,470,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB245,346,000) is to be payable by way of cash (or other kind of consideration as may be agreed by the Group and CIMC Top Gear B.V.) within one year from the date of completing the Ziegler Acquisition.
Ziegler was owned as to 40% by the Company and 60% by CIMC Top Gear B.V. prior to the Ziegler Acquisition. Upon completion of the Ziegler Acquisition, Ziegler became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Since the Company and Ziegler are ultimately controlled by CIMC both before and after the Ziegler Acquisition, it is regarded as a "common control combination". Accordingly, the Group has applied the principles of merger accounting to account for the Ziegler Acquisition in accordance with the Accounting Guideline 5 "Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations" (the "AG5") issued by the HKICPA.
In applying merger accounting, the condensed consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statement items of the combining entities in which the common control combination occurs as if they had been combined from the date when the combining entities first came under the control of the controlling party.
The net assets of the combining entities are consolidated using the existing book value from the controlling parties' perspective. No amount is recognised in respect of goodwill or excess of acquirers' interest in the net fair value of acquirees' identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of common control combination, to the extent of the continuant of the controlling party's interest.
The condensed consolidated income statement includes the results of each of the combining entities from the earliest date presented or since the date when the combining entities first came under the common control, where this is a shorter period, regardless of the date of the common control combination.
The comparative amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented as if the combining entities had been combined at the previous balance sheet date unless they first came under common control at a later date.

Revenue and segment information
The Group has three reportable segments which are the Group's strategic business units. The strategic business units offer different goods and services and are managed separately because they require different production techniques and marketing strategies. The Group' Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") manages and monitors the businesses of each of the strategic business unit and reviews the internal management reports at least on a quarterly basis. Reportable segments are identified based on the reports reviewed by the CEO that are used for making strategic decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance. The following summarizes the operations of each of the Group's reportable segments: - Airport facilities and automated parking systems: the manufacture and sales of passenger boarding bridges, airport support equipment and automated vehicle parking systems;
- Materials handling systems: the provision of engineering and computer software solutions for airport logistics, e-commerce, express delivery and warehousing; and
- Fire engines and rescue: the production and sale of fire engines, fire prevention and fighting equipment and mobile fire stations and rescue stations.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those adopted in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Business review
Revenue of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2020 decreased approximately 8.2% to RMB2,173.2 million as compared to the corresponding period last year. On the other hand, profit before income tax reported an increase of approximately 13.9% to RMB96.0 million and profit after tax an increase of approximately 4.0% to RMB79.6 million.
An analysis of the Group's business by its business segment are as follows:
Airport facilities and automated parking systems
Revenue: RMB655.9 million (2019: RMB784.7 million); segment profit before income tax (included
pandemic-relief government subsidies): RMB128.8 million (2019: RMB100.3 million)
Struck by the covid-19, the production, delivery and installation schedules of all types of products of the segment, whether passengers boarding bridges (PBB), airport special vehicles and automated parking systems, were affected and resulted in the decrease in revenue recognised for the period. In spite of this, there was an increase in the segment profit because, during the period, (i) a number of sizable PBB contracts with higher-than-average gross margins were completed that compensated the lost in profit from revenue downturn; (ii) over RMB15 million government subsidies, primarily pandemic-related reliefs, were received; and (iii) the reduction in promotion expenses as a result of the disease prevention and control measures like gathering ban and travel restrictions.
The Group has been catching up with the progress lagged with the relaxation of virus containing measures in different locations. It is expected that most of the projects will be completed as originally planned in the second half of 2020, if the viral infection situation is kept under control. The Group expects that demand for airport facilities will pick up soon when the virus is seen-off. Stable demand for equipment replacement, intelligentization and maintenance services is anticipated to keep airports ready for travelers to get back in the sky safely.
Firefighting and rescue
Revenue: RMB1,310.2 million (2019: RMB1,274.1 million); segment profit before income tax:
RMB12.1 million (2019: RMB18.0 million)
As explained in Note 1 "Basis of preparation" to the condensed consolidated financial statements, merger accounting was adopted to account for the Ziegler Acquisition that was completed in December 2019. Revenue and profit of the firefighting and rescue segment for 2019 comparatives have been restated to include those of Ziegler.
Revenue for the period increased despite the impact of the covid pandemic because of the full period contribution of Shanghai Jindun and Shenyang Jietong Fire Truck Co., Ltd. ("Shenyang Jietong"), the two subsidiaries acquired in April 2019 and June 2019, respectively, for the six months ended 30 June 2020, in contrast with revenue since acquisition that was consolidated into the Group's for the
- 23 -
corresponding period last year.
Suffering from the sweeping pandemic impacts, production schedules of the segment were affected by supply chain disruptions, imported chassis, in particular. Fire engines equipped with imported chassis are normally advanced models sold at higher profit margins, the supply problem has adversely affected the profit of the segment. Postponement or extension of tendering due to pandemic has been another cause of the unsatisfactory performance for the period. Companies in the segment with inadequate order backlogs have suffered significant profit setback.
Following the completion of acquisitions last year, the Group has been working on integrating all entities in the segment to consolidate the synergistic effects from the enlarged product portfolio and geographical markets. This hopefully will provide the Group a good foundation to combat against the uncertainties in the post-pandemic. Demand for fire and rescue apparatus is comparatively less sensitive to changes in economic conditions than consumer goods, a stable post-pandemic market is in anticipation. As a leading fire and rescue apparatus manufacturer, the Group will work all its best to capture every opportunities arise.
Material Handling Systems
Revenue: RMB207.0 million (2019: RMB309.5 million); segment loss before income tax: RMB20.7
million (2019: loss of RMB22.6 million)
As delivery and installation schedules of most of the projects were hit by the covid pandemic, revenue of the segment for the period dropped by almost one-third as compared to last year. Loss, on the other hand, was cut by 8.3% because of the improved project management and costs controls following the internal restructuring last year. Reduction in travelling and other promotion expenses due to movement curbs have also reduced the loss for the period.
The covid pandemic has given a hard hit to many industries but it has fuelled the digital surge indeed. As shops were forced to close during the restriction period, digital sales took over when online shopping became a must instead of a choice. Work from home and shop from home may become the new trend of life that energise e-commerce even after the pandemic. E-commerce must go with reliable and efficient delivery and warehousing services to succeed. As a reliable supplier of automatic logistics systems, with products cover baggage and parcels handling, air cargos handling and automatic intelligent warehousing, the Group is in a good stand to thrive on the e-commerce escalation.

Financial resources and liquidity
The Group had a negative net cash balance of approximately RMB1,042.3 million at 30 June 2020 (31 December 2019: negative net cash balance of approximately RMB1,125 million) which was broken down as follows:
At 30 June | At 31 December | |
2020 | 2019 | |
RMB'000 | RMB'000 | |
Cash and cash equivalent | 726,507 | 768,386 |
Pledged bank deposits | 12,090 | 34,342 |
738,597 | 802,728 | |
Borrowings: | ||

- from an associate - short term | (30,000) | (198,000) |
- from banks - long term | (431,274) | (341,819) |
- from the ultimate holding company - long term | (120,000) | - |
(1,780,881) | (1,927,728) | |
Net cash and cash equivalent | (1,042,284) | (1,125,000) |
The pledged bank deposits at 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2019 were mainly pledged for bid bond guarantee, performance guarantee and guarantee for letter of credit issued by certain subsidiaries.
The Group's cash flow from operating activities turned into net cash inflow for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The improvement was primarily due to the heightened focus on receivables management and cash management, particularly in the pandemic hard time. More works are required on inventory control to speed up its turnover to release cash tied up.
As at 30 June 2020, current assets and current liabilities of the Group were approximately RMB6,356.9 million (31 December 2019: RMB6,790.6 million) and RMB4,764.3 million (31 December 2019: RMB5,442.5 million) respectively. The current ratio was approximately 1.33 times (31 December 2019:
1.25 times). The slight increase in current ratio was attributable to the repayment of some short-term loans by long-term loans during the period. Taking into consideration of the financial costs and the goal of maintaining financial stability, the Group aims to increase the proportion of long-term borrowings to 40% to 50% of the total borrowings for an optimal structure of long-term and short-term borrowings.
Because of the improvement in operating cash flow, the Group's gearing ratio, which was calculated as interest bearing debt / total equity, decreased from 62.7% at 31 December 2019 to 58.4% at 30 June 2020. The interest bearing debt was the sum of the outstanding balances of borrowings, lease liabilities, convertible bonds and interest-bearing advance from a related company at end of the respective periods. The Group targets to further reduce the gearing ratio and will weigh all factors in determining the modes of financing for future business development and a reasonable degree of financial leverage will be maintained.

Some of the Group's revenue and costs and expenses are settled in currencies other than the functional currencies of the Group's subsidiaries. To mitigate exposure to exchange rates volatility, the Group enters into forward foreign currency contracts as and when considered appropriate.
Specific performance obligations under the banking facilities
The Company, as borrower, signed a general banking facilities letter (the "Facilities") with a bank (the "Bank"), as lender, for, amongst others, a revolving loan of up to HK$300,000,000 on 15 June 2020. The Facilities shall expire and all amounts borrowed under the Facilities shall be repaid in full on 30 September 2020. The Facilities impose, inter alia, a condition that, CIMC, being the controlling shareholder (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company as at the date of signing the Facilities, shall hold, whether directly or indirectly, not less than 50% shareholding of the Company throughout the life of the Facilities (the "Specific Performance Obligation"). The failure to comply with the Specific Performance Obligation would constitute an event of default.
Since 26 June 2020, the shareholding of the Company held by CIMC has been decreased to 49.2%, a shareholding level lower than that required by the Specific Performance Obligation, due to the increase in the number of issued shares of the Company as a result of the issuance of conversion shares upon conversion rights exercised by a bondholder. The Bank has granted the Company a waiver to comply with the Specific Performance Obligation as at the date of this announcement.
Use of proceeds from Subscription
Pursuant to a subscription agreement dated 6 February 2018, the Company issued 673,225,000 shares of the Company to State-Owned Enterprise Structural Adjustment China Merchants Buyout Fund (Limited Partnership)* ( 深圳國調招商併購股權投資基金合夥企業(有限合夥)), a limited partnership established in the PRC, at HKD0.366 (the "Subscription"). The Subscription was completed on 4 May 2018. The net proceeds from the Subscription were approximately HK$243.7 million (equivalent to approximately RMB196.4 million) (the "Net Proceeds"). Details of the Subscription have been set out in the circular of the Company dated 15 March 2018 (the "Subscription Circular").
As at 30 June 2020, the status of the remaining unutilised balance of Net Proceeds was as follows:

The Group has applied the net proceeds from the Subscription in accordance with the proposed applications as set out in the Subscription Circular.
The amount of Net Proceeds of approximately RMB58.8 million allocated for construction of a new PBB factory in the United States of America was originally expected to be utilised by the second quarter of 2020. However, given the unstable economy and uncertainties in the recent business and operating environment, particularly in view of the current China-US relations, the use of the Net Proceeds allocated will be further delayed. The Board will closely monitor the business environment and review the Group's business and operations from time to time. The Group will make further announcement in relation to any updates or material change in the use of the unutilised Net Proceeds in compliance with the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.
Investments, disposals, capital commitments, contingent liabilities and pledge of assets
Capital commitment
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had capital commitment in respect of:
- Construction of factory premises amounted to approximately RMB48 million (31 December 2019: RMB48 million); and
- Investment amount committed to the local government of the county in Sichuan where one of the Group's factory is located amounted to approximately RMB0.9 million (31 December 2019: RMB2 million).
Pledge of assets
As at 30 June 2020, the Group's bank borrowings with an outstanding balances of approximately RMB316.8 million (31 December 2019: RMB341.8 million) were secured by the Group's equity interests in Shanghai Jindun and Shenyang Jietong, subsidiaries engaged in the manufacturing and sales of fire engines and firefighting and prevention equipment.
- 27 -
Save as disclosed herein, the Group had no material investments, acquisitions or disposals during the six months ended 30 June 2020 and had no material capital commitment, contingent liabilities and pledged of assets as at 30 June 2020.
Employees and remuneration policies
For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group had 5,149 staff (2019: 5,221) and incurred staff costs
(excluding directors' remuneration) of approximately RMB497.7 million (2019: RMB492 million). The decrease in number of staff was due to natural attrition. Staff costs rose primarily because of (i) the annual review; and (ii) six months costs of Shanghai Jindun and Shenyang Jietong included in the total staff costs for 2020 as compared to a few months since acquisition for 2019. In contrast, the increase in staff costs was partially offset as certain Group entities in the PRC were allowed to have their monthly social insurance contributions deferred since February 2020 as a government pandemic-relief measures. Since the principles of merger accounting was adopted to account for the Ziegler Acquisition, staff number and staff costs for 2019 comparatives have been restated to include that of Ziegler. Staff are remunerated by a monthly salaries payment plus performance incentives payable quarterly or yearly. All full-time employees are entitled to medical, provident funds and housing funds contributions. The Group adopted share option schemes which offer eligible employees an incentive for better performance and loyalty with the Group.
The Group arranges in-house trainings periodically to staff at all levels according to their needs, like orientations on corporate culture, policies, products knowledge and basic job skills for new staff; leadership, management and strategic planning skills for managerial staff; and seminars and workshops on selected topics like project management, costs management, business planning and work safety. Employees may apply for subsidies to participate in job relevant trainings offered by recognised institutions.
