MANAGEMENT

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of Dalipal Holdings Limited (the"Company") is pleased to announce the unaudited consolidated interim results of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (the "Period").

OVERVIEW

The Group faced lots of challenges in conducting its business in the first half of 2020. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (the "Pandemic"), the Group suspended production for a long period of time during the first quarter, and its production was interrupted intermittently during the second quarter because of various factors, such as postponed resumption of work by its customers and supply of raw materials being affected by the Pandemic, which resulted in a period-to-period decrease in the production and sales volume and deterioration in the overall financial performance of the Group in the first half of the year. The loss from operations recorded during the Period decreased by approximately 103.0% as compared to the profit of approximately RMB178.9 million recorded for the corresponding period in 2019; the net loss for the Period was approximately RMB34.7 million, as compared to the net profit of approximately RMB117.0 million recorded for the corresponding period in 2019; the loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company for the Period amounted to RMB33.2 million in the first half of 2020 as compared to the profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of approximately RMB115.8 million record for the corresponding period in 2019.

During the Period, the Group recorded a decrease of approximately 38.9% in the revenue from OCTG to approximately RMB535.9 million (corresponding period of 2019: RMB877.1 million), an increase of approximately 16.4% in the revenue from other oil pipes to approximately RMB211.1 million (corresponding period of 2019: RMB181.3 million), and a decrease of approximately 37.1% in the revenue from pipe billets to approximately RMB242.4 million (corresponding period of 2019: RMB385.6 million).

Interim Report 2020

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The decrease in the revenue from OCTG was mainly due to the more conservative exploration and development of oil companies as affected by the Pandemic, resulting in a decrease in both of the sales volume and selling price. The sales price of other oil pipes has been reduced affected by the OCTG market. After the first phase expansion project was put into production, while stabilizing existing customers, the Group also introduced new customers, and the corresponding production and sales increased; the decrease in the revenue from pipe billets was mainly due to the stagnant market demand of pipe billets in the first half of the year as affected by the Pandemic, resulting in a decrease in both of the sales volume and selling price.

During the Period, the revenue from overseas sales of the Group decreased by approximately 21.1% to RMB84.7 million (corresponding period of 2019: RMB107.3 million), mainly attributable to the decrease in the Group's product prices as affected by the Pandemic.

The outbreak of the Pandemic in early 2020 has affected the business and economic activities around the world and has brought about additional uncertainties to the Group's operating environment and has impacted the Group's operations and financial position.

The Group has been closely monitoring the impact from the Pandemic on the Group's business and has put in place various contingency measures. These contingency measures include but not limited to carrying out reassessment on the demand and selling price of OCTG products in order to make the necessary adjustments to its production activities in light of the changes in demand of refined oil in the market and the fluctuations in the price of crude oil, expanding the supplier base of raw materials to ensure the Group is able to meet customers' demands and improving the Group's cash management by expediting debtor settlements and negotiating with suppliers on extension of payment terms. The Group will keep the contingency measures under review as the Pandemic situation evolves.

As far as the Group's businesses are concerned, the Pandemic and the volatility in the crude and refined oil markets have caused the decrease in both the sales volume and selling price of the Group's OCTG products, and the Group had temporarily suspended its production activities during the Period. The gradual easing of the Pandemic situation in the PRC and stabilisation of the global crude and refined oil markets have led to the recovery of the demand and selling price of OCTG products.

The Group expects that there will be no material changes to the future development of the Group's business, except for the impact of the Pandemic.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

There was no significant event after the end of the Period up to the date of this report.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Cost of sales

The Group recorded cost of sales of approximately RMB916.8 million in total for the Period, representing a decrease of approximately 22.1% as compared to approximately RMB1,177.2 million for the corresponding period in 2019, mainly due to the decrease in sales volume of the Group's products.

The total gross profit of the Group for the Period was approximately RMB72.6 million, representing a decrease of approximately 72.8% as compared to approximately RMB266.8 million in the first half of 2019. The decrease in total gross profit and overall gross profit margin for the Period compared to that for the corresponding period in 2019 was mainly due to the decrease in the selling price of the Group's products whilst the costs of raw materials remained relatively stable.

Other income

The Group's other income for the Period was approximately RMB10.3 million, representing an increase of approximately RMB5.8 million as compared to RMB4.5 million for the corresponding period in 2019, attributable to an increase in government grants.

Administrative expenses

The administrative expenses of the Group for the Period was approximately RMB65.2 million, representing an increase of approximately 5.7% as compared to approximately RMB61.7 million in the first half of 2019.

Finance costs

The finance costs of the Group during the Period was approximately RMB48.2 million, representing an increase of approximately 37.7% as compared to approximately RMB35.0 million for the corresponding period in 2019, mainly because the originally capitalized loan interests of the Phase One expansion project were accounted for as finance costs after the project was put into operation.

Income tax

During the Period, the Group received income tax credit of approximately RMB18.8 million, as compared to RMB26.8 million of income tax expenses in the first half of 2019. The Group recorded income tax credit for the Period was mainly because (1) the Group recorded a loss during the Period, which gave rise to deductible deferred income tax expenses in accordance with the PRC tax law; and (2) in 2020, Dalipal Hong Kong Company Limited, one of the Group's subsidiaries, which was identified as tax residents in Hong Kong, was subject to tax calculated at the reduced 5% tax rate in respect of the Group's overseas distribution pursuant to the regulation between the Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the avoidance of double taxation with respect to taxes on income, and the difference from the tax calculated at the original 10% tax rate was written back.

Current ratio, which is calculated based on the current assets divided by the current liabilities, as at 30 June 2020 remained basically the same as at 31 December 2019 at 1.2.

SHARE OPTION SCHEMES

Post-IPO Share Option Scheme

On 19 June 2019, a post-IPO share option scheme (the "Post-IPOShare Option Scheme") was adopted by a resolution in writing by the then shareholders of the Company to incentivise or reward eligible participants (i.e. (i) any full-time or part-time employee (including any executive director) of the Group or any entity in which any member of the Group holds any equity interest ("Invested Entity"); (ii) any non-executive directors (including independent non-executive directors) of the Group or Invested Entity; (iii) any supplier or customer of the Group or any Invested Entity; (iv) any person or entity that provides research, development or other technological support to the Group or any Invested Entity; (v) any shareholder of any member of the Group or any Invested Entity or any holder of any securities issued by any member of the Group or any Invested Entity; (vi) any adviser or consultant to any area of business or business development of the Group or any Invested Entity; (vii) such other persons who in the sole opinion of the Board may contribute or have contributed to the development and growth of the Group; and (viii) any company wholly owned by one or more persons belonging to any of the above classes of participants (collectively, the "Post-IPOEligible Participants") for their contribution to the Group, for the purpose of motivating them to optimise their performance efficiency for the benefit of the Group, and attracting and retaining these Post-IPO Eligible Participants whose contributions are or will be beneficial to the long-term growth of our Group.

The options granted pursuant to the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme will expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant of the option subject to the provisions for early termination thereof. As at the date of this report, the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme had a remaining life of more than 8 years.

The maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme adopted by the Group must not in aggregate exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time.

Interim Report 2020

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND OTHER INFORMATION

Notes:

  1. The vesting date of the relevant share options ("Share Options") under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme is the respective first date of the exercise period as set out above. The vesting of the Share Options is subject to the fulfilment of certain vesting conditions. Please refer to the prospectus of the Company dated 28 October 2019 for further details of the vesting conditions.
  2. The exercise price represents 30% of the final offer price of each Share upon Listing (i.e. HK$1.59).
  3. As one of the vesting conditions in relation to the financial performance of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019 was not met, 50% of the share options expected to be vested on 9 November 2020 has lapsed on the date when the Board approved the final results for the year ended 31 December 2019 of the Group (i.e. 20 March 2020).

The fair values of the share options granted under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme during the year ended 31 December 2019 at the grant date were: (a) Mr. Zhang Hongyao (executive Director): HK$10,415,000; (b) Ms. Gan Shuya (executive Director): HK$9,175,600; (c) Mr. Bai Gongli (chief executive officer): HK$11,469,500; and (d) Ms. Wong Gianne (senior management): HK$2,293,900.

Significant estimates and assumptions are required to be made in determining the parameters for applying Binomial Option Pricing Model, including estimates and assumptions regarding the risk-free rate of return, expected dividend yield and volatility of the underlying Shares and the expected life of the options. These estimates and assumptions could have a material effect on the determination of the fair value of the share options and the amount of such equity awards expected to vest, which may in turn significantly impact the determination of the share-based payments. The following assumptions were used to derive the fair values of options granted in 2019:

2019

Share price at Valuation Date

HK$1.53

Exercise price

HK$0.477

Expected volatility

31.86%-32.84%

Option life

6-7 years

Risk-free rate

1.50%

Expected dividend yield

7.1%

Save as disclosed above, no share options have been granted, exercised, cancelled or lapsed under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme during the Period.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

(Expressed in RMB unless otherwise indicated)

Corporate information

Dalipal Holdings Limited (the "Company") was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 28 August 2018 as an

exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law, Cap 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and

revised) of the Cayman Islands. The Company's shares were listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong

Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") on 8 November 2019. The Company and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group")

are principally engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of oil country tubular goods ("OCTG"), other oil

pipes and pipe billets.

2

Basis of preparation

Prior to the incorporation of the Company, the principal activities of the Group were carried out by Dalipal Pipe

Company (達力普石油專用管有限公司, "Dalipal Pipe") which was established as a limited liability company

on 18 September 1998 in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). To rationalise the corporate structure in

preparation of the listing of the Company's shares on the Stock Exchange, the Group underwent a reorganisation

(the "Reorganisation"), and the Company became the parent company of Dalipal Pipe and the holding company of

the companies now comprising the Group. The Reorganisation only involved inserting the Company and other newly

formed entities with no substantive operations as holding companies of Dalipal Pipe and there was no change in the

business and operation of Dalipal Pipe. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended

30 June 2019 in this interim financial report has been prepared and presented as a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Dalipal Pipe with the assets and liabilities of Dalipal Pipe recognised and measured at their historical carrying amounts prior to the Reorganisation.

This interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange, including compliance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim financial reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB"). It was authorised for issue on 21 August 2020.

The interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2019 annual financial statements, except for the accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the 2020 annual financial statements. Details of any changes in accounting policies are set out in Note 3.

The preparation of an interim financial report in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year to date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

This interim financial report contains condensed consolidated financial statements and selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the 2019 annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs").

The interim financial report is unaudited, but has been reviewed by KPMG, in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. KPMG's independent review report to the board of directors is included on page 40.

The financial information relating to the financial year ended 31 December 2019 that is included in the interim financial report as comparative information does not constitute the Company's statutory annual consolidated financial statements for that financial year but is derived from those financial statements.

Interim Report 2020

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT (CONTINUED)

3 Changes in accounting policies

The IASB has issued the following amendments to IFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group:

  • Amendments to IFRS 3, Definition of a Business
  • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
  • Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8, Definition of material

None of these developments have had a material effect on how the Group's results and financial position for the current or prior periods have been prepared or presented in this interim financial report. The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period except for the amendment to IFRS 16, COVID-19-RelatedRent Concessions, which provides a practical expedient that allows lessees to by-pass the need to evaluate whether certain qualifying rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications and, instead, account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. The Group has elected to early adopt the amendments and applies the practical expedient to all qualifying COVID-19-related rent concessions granted to the Group during the interim reporting period. Consequently, rent concessions received have been accounted for as negative variable lease payments recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurred.

  • Revenue and segment reporting
    1. Revenue
      The Group is principally engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of OCTG, other oil pipes and pipe billets. All of the revenue of the Group is recognised at a point in time. The customers obtain control of the products when they are delivered to and have been accepted at premises determined by the customers. Acceptance notes are generated and revenue is recognised at that point in time.
      Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers by major products is as follows:

  1. Segment reporting
    The Group manages its businesses by products. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group's most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has presented the following three reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segments.
    • OCTG: this segment includes primarily the manufacture and sale of OCTG.
    • Other oil pipes: this segment includes primarily the manufacture and sale of other oil pipes.
    • Pipe billets: this segment includes primarily the manufacture and sale of pipe billets.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT (CONTINUED)

  • Revenue and segment reporting (CONTINUED)
    1. Segment reporting (continued)
      1. Segment results, assets and liabilities
        For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Group's most senior executive management monitors the results attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases:
        Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to sales generated by those segments and the expenses incurred by those segments during normal operations. The measure used for reporting segment result is gross profit, but excluded depreciation expenses, staff costs and utilities expenses incurred during the suspension of production as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. No inter-segment sales have occurred for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 2019. Assistance provided by one segment to another, including sharing of assets and technical know-how, is not measured.
        The Group's other operating income and expenses, such as other income and selling and administrative expenses, and assets and liabilities are not measured under individual segments. Accordingly, neither information on segment assets and liabilities nor information concerning capital expenditure, interest income and interest expenses is presented.
        Information regarding the Group's reportable segments as provided to the Group's most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 2019 is set out below.

  2. The Company and the subsidiaries of the Group incorporated in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax according to the two-tiered profits tax rates regime from the year of assessment 2018/19 onwards. The profits tax rate for the first Hong Kong Dollar ("HK$") 2,000,000 of profits will be taxed at 8.25%, and profits above that amount will be subject to a tax rate of 16.5%. These companies have no assessable profits subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 2019.
  3. The subsidiaries of the Group established in the PRC (excluding Hong Kong) are subject to PRC Corporate Income Tax rate of 25% for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (2019: 25%).
  4. The PRC Corporate Income Tax Law allows enterprises to apply for certificate of "High and New Technology Enterprise" ("HNTE"), which entitles the qualified companies to a preferential income tax rate of 15%, subject to fulfilment of the recognition criteria. Dalipal Pipe was qualified as a HNTE and is entitled to the preferential tax rate of 15% for the three calendar years ended/ending 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020.
  5. Pursuant to the Sino-Hong Kong Double Tax Arrangement, one of the Group's subsidiaries, Dalipal Hong Kong Company Limited, has obtained approval from the relevant tax authorities and is eligible for preferential PRC Withholding Tax rate of 5% instead of 10% for dividends received from the PRC subsidiaries of the Group. As a result of the change in tax rate, the related deferred tax liabilities balance was adjusted accordingly.

  • (Loss)/earnings per share
    1. Basic (loss)/earnings per share
      The basic loss per share for the six months ended 30 June 2020 is calculated based on the loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of RMB33,212,000 and the weighted average of 1,500,000,000 ordinary shares in issue during the interim period.
      The basic earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2019 was calculated based on the profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of RMB115,758,000 and the weighted average of 1,200,000,000 ordinary shares, which comprised 970,000 ordinary shares issued as at 1 January 2019, 30,000 ordinary shares issued on 9 January 2019 as a result of the Reorganisation, and the related 1,199,000,000 ordinary shares issued pursuant to the capitalisation issue immediately prior to the completion of the initial public offering of the Company, as if the above total 1,200,000,000 ordinary shares were outstanding throughout the six months ended 30 June 2019.

There was no difference between basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2019 as the Company did not have any dilutive potential shares outstanding during the six months ended 30 June 2019.

During the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group incurred capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment with a cost of RMB22,548,000 (six months ended 30 June 2019: RMB269,053,000).

No property, plant and equipment was disposed of during the six months ended 30 June 2020. Property, plant and equipment with a cost of RMB792,000 was disposed of during the six months ended 30 June 2019.

  1. Transfer of financial assets
    The Group has discounted certain of the bank acceptance notes it received from customers at banks and endorsed certain of the bank acceptance notes it received from customers to its suppliers and other creditors for settlement of the Group's trade and other payables on a full recourse basis. Upon the above discounting or endorsement, the Group has derecognised the bills receivables in their entirety. These derecognised bank acceptance notes have maturity dates of less than six months from the end of the reporting period. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of these notes and has discharged its obligation of the payables to its suppliers and other creditors. The Group considered the issuing banks of these notes are of good credit quality and non-settlement of these notes by the issuing banks on maturity is highly unlikely. At 30 June 2020, the Group's maximum exposure to loss and undiscounted cash outflow should the issuing banks fail to settle the bills on maturity dates amounted to RMB286,054,000 (31 December 2019: RMB203,620,000).
    Bills receivables include bank acceptance notes discounted at banks or endorsed to suppliers with recourse totaling RMB15,988,000 (31 December 2019: RMB30,860,000) at 30 June 2020, which were not derecognised as the Group remains to have significant exposure to the credit risk of these bills receivables. The aggregate carrying amount of the associated bank loans and trade payables amounted to RMB15,988,000 (31 December 2019: RMB30,860,000) at 30 June 2020.
  2. At 30 June 2020, trade and bills receivables with an aggregate carrying amount of RMB160,216,000 (31 December 2019: RMB233,642,000) have been pledged for the Group's interest-bearing borrowings (see Note 16).

22 Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic since early 2020 has brought about additional uncertainties in the Group's operating environment and has impacted the Group's operations and financial position.

The Group has been closely monitoring the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group's business and has put in place various contingency measures. These contingency measures include but not limited to carry out reassessment on the demand and selling price of OCTG products in order to make the necessary adjustments to its production activities in light of the changes in demand of refined oil in the market and the fluctuations in the price of crude oil, expanding the supplier base of raw materials in ensuring the Group is able to meet customers' demands, improving the Group's cash management by expediting debtor settlements and negotiating with suppliers on extension of payment terms. The Group will keep the contingency measures under review as COVID-19 pandemic situation evolves.

As far as the Group's businesses are concerned, the COVID-19 pandemic and the volatility in the crude and refined oil markets have caused the decrease in both the sales volume and selling price of the Group's OCTG products, and the Group had temporary suspended its production activities during the six months ended 30 June 2020. The gradual easing of the COVID-19 pandemic situation in the mainland China and stabilisation of the global crude and refined oil markets have led to the recovery of the demand and selling price of OCTG products and the Group had recommenced its production activities since then.

The exact timing and extent of recovery of the Group's business are still uncertain and subject to the development of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, the directors of the Company is optimistic that the COVID-19 pandemic will eventually be under full control, and the Group will continue to closely monitor the situation and implement contingency measures, where necessary in a view to reduce the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interim Report 2020

REVIEW REPORTTO THEBOARD OF DIRECTORS OF DALIPAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim financial report set out on pages 18 to 39 which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position of Dalipal Holdings Limited (the "Company") as of 30 June 2020 and the related consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the six month period then ended and explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of an interim financial report to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34, Interim financial reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial report in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34.

Our responsibility is to form a conclusion, based on our review, on the interim financial report and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of the interim financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial report as at 30 June 2020 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim financial reporting.
