MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW
China Supply Chain Holdings Limited (the “Company“, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group“) is a building maintenance and renovation service provider in Hong Kong. All revenue for the six months period ended 31 December 2020 (the “Period“) was derived from building maintenance and renovation services.
Revenue for the Period was approximately HK$174.6 million, representing an decrease of approximately HK$27.6 million or 13.6% when compared to the same period last year of approximately HK$202.2 million. It was mainly from the decrease of the revenue of building maintenance services which is due to no new contract of renovation service awarded during the Period and the new awarded contract of building maintenance services commenced in the last quarter of 2020.
Building maintenance services
As at 31 December 2020, we had 2 building maintenance contracts on hand with a notional or estimated contract value of approximately HK$552.4 million. As at 30 June 2020, we had 3 building maintenance contracts on hand with a notional or estimated contract value of approximately HK$553.3 million. During the Period, the Group had completed 1 building maintenance contract.
Renovation services
As at 31 December 2020, we had 4 renovation contracts on hand (including contracts in progress and contracts which are yet to commence) with a notional or estimated contract value of approximately HK$125.1 million. As at 30 June 2020, we had 4 renovation contracts on hand with a notional or estimated contract value of approximately HK$125.1 million.
RECENT DEVELOPMENT
Building maintenance services
During the Period, we had been successfully awarded for 1 building maintenance contract with a notional or estimated contract value of approximately HK$302.2 million, which commenced during the Period.
Renovation services
During the Period, we had no new contract for renovation services.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
We will focus on identifying opportunities for building maintenance projects, especially in the public sector, which is our core business. For renovation projects, with the growth in consciousness of building refurbishment in Hong Kong, we are confident in attaining new projects from the private sector.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue
Revenue derived from building maintenance services decreased by approximately HK$23.7 million or 17.6% from approximately HK$134.5 million for the same period in 2019 to approximately HK$110.8 million during the Period. As the new awarded contract of building maintenance services commenced in the last quarter of 2020, revenue of building maintenance services decreased compared with the same period in 2019.
Revenue derived from renovation services showed a decrease of approximately HK$3.7 million or 5.5% from approximately HK$67.6 million in the same period in 2019 to approximately HK$63.9 million during the Period. The decrease in revenue was caused by no new contract awarded during the Period.
Gross profit and gross profit margin
During the Period, the Group’s gross profit amounted to approximately HK$11.0 million (2019: HK$10.6 million) representing a slight increase of approximately HK$0.4 million. Gross profit margin for the Period was approximately 6.3% (2019: 5.2%). The increase in gross profit margin was caused by the increase in the gross profit margin for building maintenance and renovation services as mentioned below.
Gross profit attributable to building maintenance services for the Period amounted to approximately HK$8.5 million (2019: HK$8.2 million). The Group’s gross profit margin for building maintenance services for the Period was approximately 7.7% (2019: 6.1%). The increase in gross profit margin during the Period was attributable to cost control procedures implemented under the current difficult economic environment.
Gross profit attributable to renovation services for the Period amounted to approximately HK$2.5 million (2019: HK$2.4 million), representing a slight increase of approximately HK$0.1 million or 4.2%. It was consistent with no change in combination of contracts on hand during the Period. Gross profit margin from renovation services during the Period was approximately 3.9%, which was slightly higher than the same period in 2019 of approximately 3.6%. The improvement in gross profit margin was attributable to cost control procedures of renovation services.
Other income
During the Period, other income of the Group mainly comprised to the subsidies from the Employment Support Scheme of the Hong Kong Government amounted to approximately HK$3,211,000, the loan interest income to approximately HK$556,000 and bank interest income to approximately HK$271,000.

Finance costs
Finance costs decreased by approximately HK$29,000 or 45.3% from approximately HK$64,000 for the same period in 2019 to approximately HK$35,000 for the Period. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the bank borrowings of the Group.
Profit for the Period
The Group recorded profit for the Period of approximately HK$1.3 million (2019: loss of approximately HK$2.2 million). The change was mainly attributable to the subsidies received from the Employment Support Scheme and reversal of impairment of trade and other receivables.
