MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The Group is principally engaged in the research and development as well as manufacture of innovative products for the future technology business, and the provision of other innovative technology service solutions (the "Future Technology Business").

During the Period, the Group's turnover amounted to HK$61,379,000, representing an increase of 74.11% compared with the period ended 30 June 2019 (30 June 2019: the turnover was HK$35,252,000). Net loss for the Period was HK$11,617,000, representing a decrease of 87.14% compared with the period ended 30 June 2019 (30 June 2019: net loss was HK$90,328,000). Compared with the same period of 2019, the Group saw a significant fall in the losses during the Period owing to increase in its gross profit margin from 8% in the corresponding period in 2019 to 29% for the current Period. The substantial increase in gross profit margin was attributable to the Group's launch of a novel type of Wearable Smart Helmets (developed from wearable smart helmets purchased from the Kuang-Chi Technologies Co., Ltd's group pursuant to the Master Procurement Agreement dated 30 March 2020, details refer to the Company's circular dated 6 May 2020) during the Period, sales of which accounted for 75.6% of the Group's revenue for the Period. Moreover, as a result of the Group's optimization of the business and enhancement of the internal management, R&D expenses and administrative expenses for the Period were reduced by approximately 63.4% and approximately 28.7%, respectively, as compared with the same period in 2019.

The Future Technology Business - in-depth development of the vertical business sectors

The Group focuses on future technology business. It is currently developing and integrating different future technologies, like "AI" technology and "future space" technology, and strives to build future intelligent cities and provides a comprehensive range of innovative products, services and solutions, thereby enhancing service efficiency, satisfying residents' needs, improving the quality of life and, in particular, solving various problems that are faced by the mankind.

With regard to the "AI" technology, the Group has long been committed to the research, manufacture and application development of "AI" technology-related algorithms, which is a platform for big data analysis and professional AI-infused products for the vertical sectors based on such algorithms and platform. The Group's AI algorithms were first applied to aeronautic equipments such as Cloud and long-endurance drones and such technology has been subsequently developed into our principal business, thus enabling the Group to create an AI system with AI algorithms as the core technology. The AI system could access a variety of fixed or mobile front-end hardware devices and empower these devices with AI. On this basis, and with the Group's long-term experience in system integration, the Group has integrated front-end hardware to create an integrated solution comprising professional system integration, installation, debugging, operation and maintenance services.

Interim Report 2020 5

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

When the Wearable Smart Helmet, the Group's first mobile front-end hardware device, was accessed and empowered, its powerful integrated functions have effectively enhanced various features such as real-time dynamic acquisition of data and intelligent analysis of big data, and effectively increased business efficiency.

During the Period, the Group carried out in-depth innovations in the technology for mobile front-end hardware devices by launching a novel type of Wearable Smart Helmet - a thermal imaging smart helmet with a view to providing assistance in the fight against the pandemic. The novel thermal imaging smart helmet has a number of cutting-edge technologies (such as infrared thermal imaging, augmented reality display, communication sensing, materials for the development of the cutting-edge aerospace technology, and various "AI" algorithms). It has a contactless temperature measurement feature. In airports, transportation hubs, subways, shopping malls and other places where it is easy for crowds to gather, contactless temperature measurement devices can quickly screen out people with a fever, thus significantly increasing the efficiency of temperature measurement and minimizing the risk associated with public gatherings. This is a major reason why the Wearable Smart Helmets were purchased by many customers as anti-pandemic products. During the Period, the Wearable Smart Helmets were sold to 36 countries and regions at home and abroad, achieving a substantial increase in sales compared with the sales of Wearable Smart Helmets during the corresponding period in 2019.

During the Period, the project sites of the Group, namely the Bund area in Shanghai, the railway station along Yangtze River and Jialing River in Chongqing, the commercial street in Foshan of Shunde, etc., served as the main sites for demonstrating the application of the Group's product "AI Overlay Network" in China, and continue to exert strong application value and receive recognition from our customers, thus laying a sound foundation for the Company to promote the "AI" technology for national applications on an ongoing basis. The Group will continue to devote its efforts to the development of, and the making of, a breakthrough in new technologies, which will be integrated consistently to create stronger total solutions so as to enhance business capabilities.

The management believes that with the evolution of the 5G network, the Company's "AI" technology will gradually be applied to more vertical industries in line with its own development goals and industrial needs, in particular the acceleration of the build-up of smart cities. AI will become a new impetus that boosts economic and social development, generates enormous demand for AI applications and holds market prospects in the field of smart cities.

During the Period, the Group had not committed further resources to the subsequent R&D of the "Future Space" technology. Instead, existing R&D achievements such as "Cloud", "Drone" and other aerospace products were primarily utilized to provide a data basis for the "AI" technology.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Trade receivables

With reference to the 2019 Annual Report, details about the impairment losses on trade receivables and contract assets were updated as follows:

For the customer located in Chengdu, PRC (the "Chengdu Customer"), the Group and the management had initiated a number of negotiations with the Chengdu Customer during the first half of 2020. During the Period, the Group received RMB45.0 million (equivalent to HK$50.3 million) from the Chengdu Customer, being partial settlement of outstanding trade receivables due to the Group. The management will continue to communicate and negotiate with this customer in the second half of the year regarding the remaining outstanding trade receivables.

For the customer located in Guizhou (the "Guizhou Customer") and another customer located in Dongguan (the "Dongguan Customer"), both in the PRC, their business operations in the PRC were generally hit by the pandemic to a certain extent during the Period. Moreover, a number of areas were under a partial lockdown to prevent the spread of the virus, which led to difficulties for the management to continue the negotiations with the Dongguan Customer and the Guizhou Customer. During the Period, our project team mainly held video conferences with these customers regarding the payment recovery plan, and introduced our novel smart wearable products to them. It is expected that the customers will fully cooperate with us in the negotiation, and they also expressed keen interest in our new products. Those customers need to conduct internal research and report to their superiors. The management will continue to communicate and negotiate with these customers in the second half of the year to resolve the problem regarding their outstanding trade receivables, or to recover the receivables through other means. Since the outstanding amounts due from the Dongguan Customer and the Guizhou Customer were not yet settled during the Period, accordingly, full impairment provisions remained for the relevant trade receivables and contract assets.

Manpower development and build-up

With regard to manpower build-up, the Group strengthened the talent nurturing system and designed new employee development system and mechanism to enhance staff quality. The Group continues to focus on attracting and nurturing high-calibre employees as a core strategy by recruiting people who are experienced in the "AI" technology and high-tech software development- related fields around the globe. During the Period, the Group focused on the build-up of a team of high-calibre employees, kept optimizing the composition of our employees, strengthened the vitality of our employees, modified the employee succession plans in a timely manner in line with the Company's business development, and raised cost efficiency. As at 30 June 2020, the Group successively recruited 178 high-calibre people, of whom 105 were R&D employees, and more than 21% of them have a masters degree or above. This has provided a strong talent foundation for the Group, which in turn strengthened its core competitiveness.

Interim Report 2020 29

4 ESTIMATES

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial information, the significant judgements made by management in applying the accounting policies of the Group and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

5 F I N A N C I A L R I S K M A N A G E M E N T A N D F I N A N C I A L INSTRUMENTS

  1. Financial risk factors
    The activities of the Group expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
    The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019.
  2. Fair value estimation
    1. Fair value hierarchy
      To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group classifies its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level follows the underneath table.

5.2 Fair value estimation (Continued)

  1. Fair value hierarchy (Continued)
    The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
    Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
    Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity- specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
    Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.
  2. Valuation processes
    The finance department of the Group includes a team that performs the valuation of financial asset required for financial reporting purposes, including Level 3 fair values. This team reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and the Audit Committee ("AC"). Discussion of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO, AC and the valuation team.

11 DIVIDEND

No dividend was paid, declared or proposed by the Company during the six months ended 30 June 2020.

Interim Report 2020 37

12 DISCONTINUED OPERATION

At a special meeting of shareholders of Martin Aircraft Company Limited ("MACL") held on 1 May 2018, the shareholders approved the removal of MACL from the official list of the Australian Security Exchange (the "ASX") and the delisting of its ordinary shares. As part of the delisting process, MACL has arranged to transition its shares to the USX (a New Zealand unlisted share trading platform) to allow shareholders to continue to trade their shares. MACL was delisted from ASX on 4 June 2018 and the trading of MACL's shares on USX commenced on 7 June 2018.

MACL faced difficulties in developing its products into commercial use and all business operations were stopped in late 2018. Therefore, MACL was classified as a discontinued operation. During the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Company fully disposed its investment in MACL.

("KCT"), representing 3.32% (31 December 2019: 3.32%) of the issued ordinary shares of KCT. Shenzhen Kuang-Chi Hezhong Technology Limited, which is partially owned by the directors of the Company, Dr. Liu Ruopeng and Dr. Luan Lin with shareholding of 35.09% and 15.79% respectively, holds more than 5% shareholding of KCT. KCT is a company listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. During the year ended 31 December 2018, a capital restructuring was done, pursuant to which additional 7 ordinary shares were allotted for every 10 ordinary shares held. These investments are not held for trading, instead, they are held for long- term strategic purposes. The directors of the Company have elected to designate these investments in financial assets at fair value to other comprehensive income as they believe that recognising short-term fluctuations in these investments in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group's strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes and realising their performance potential in the long run.
