MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW
-
Semiconductor business
The Group is principally engaged in the assembly, packaging and sales of its self-manufactured discrete semiconductors and trading of semiconductors sourced from third-party suppliers.
During the Period, due to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease ("COVID-19"), the economic activities have been slowed down globally. The public health measures put in place to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has also caused temporary suspension of production of semiconductors for about one month after the Chinese New Year.
Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic diminishes gradually in the PRC, the Group's customers of semiconductors have still slowed down their new order placing during the Period, due to the reduction of global economic activities caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 and the growing tension of the global trade dispute and tariff battle between China and the United States. As a result, the Group's revenue from manufacturing and trading of semiconductors for the Period dropped by approximately 45.1% as compared to the corresponding period of the previous financial year.
During the Period, the revenue from manufacturing business of semiconductors has recorded a decrease of approximately 45.6% as compared to the corresponding period of the previous financial year. In addition to its manufacturing business, the Group continued to operate its trading business during the Period, primarily to supplement its sales of self-manufactured products. The Group acts as a solution kits integrator and is engaged in trading of semiconductors that its customers specifically require. These semiconductors, however, are not manufactured by the Group. The product mix required by customers varies from time to time. During the Period, the outbreak of COVID-19 and continuing effect of global trade dispute and tariff battle also hit the trading operations and the revenue from trading of semiconductors dropped by approximately 44.0% as compared to the corresponding period of previous financial year.
Brainhole Technology Limited Interim Report 2020 | 29 |
During the Period, the Group continued its ongoing efforts in research and development and innovations. Regarding the semiconductors business, the Group has registered 47 patent rights in the PRC in respect of its process innovation and product innovation as at 30 June 2020. The Group's principal subsidiary of semiconductors business, Dongguan Jia Jun, continued to enjoy the status of High and New-Technology Enterprise and is entitled to a reduced PRC Enterprise Income Tax rate at 15%.
The number of customers of the Group's semiconductors business increased from 165 as at 30 June 2019 to 170 as at 30 June 2020.
-
Broadband infrastructure and smart domain business
In September 2019, the Group completed the acquisition of Guangzhou Weaving, and therefore extended its business portfolio to broadband infrastructure construction and the provision of integrated solution for smart domain application (including smart home, smart campus and smart communities) in the PRC. Its smart domain solution includes hardware for security and identification purposes, software for residence management, energy saving and community services.
During the Period, the outbreak of COVID-19 also led to the temporary suspension of work of Guangzhou Weaving Group. With the effective control of the pandemic in the PRC, the operation of Guangzhou Weaving Group has been resumed shortly. Due to its business nature, the new business of the Group including the broadband infrastructure construction and the provision of integrated solution for smart domain application are relatively less susceptible to the COVID-19 pandemic than semiconductors business in 2020.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue
The Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$111.6 million during the Period, as compared to the revenue of approximately HK$177.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019. The decrease in revenue was approximately HK$66.2 million or 37.2% when compared to the previous year. It was primarily attributable to the decrease in the sales of semiconductors business as a result of (i) the outbreak of COVID-19, leading to the reduction in the global economic activities and the slowdown in orders from customers; and (ii) the continuing effect of global trade dispute and tariff battle.
The outbreak of COVID-19 and the slowdown of customers' order hit both the manufacturing and trading business of semiconductors. During the Period, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$55.8 million from sales of its self- manufactured semiconductors, representing a decrease of approximately HK$46.9 million or 45.6% as compared to that of approximately HK$102.7 million for the same period of the previous financial year. The production volume of the Group's self-manufactured semiconductors witnessed an overall decrease during the Period when compared to the same period of the previous financial year.
The Group's trading of semiconductors primarily complements sales of self- manufactured semiconductors when it provides solution kits services to its customers. During the Period, the Group's revenue derived from its trading of semiconductors amounted to approximately HK$24.9 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$19.5 million or 44.0% as compared to that of approximately HK$44.4 million for the same period of the previous financial year.
The operating results of Guangzhou Weaving Group was consolidated to the Group since 27 April 2018 when the common control by Mr. Zhang firstly existed. Guangzhou Weaving Group contributed revenue of approximately HK$30.9 million for the Period, while compared to the revenue of approximately HK$30.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019.
Brainhole Technology Limited Interim Report 2020 | 31 |
Gross profit and gross profit margin
The Group's gross profit amounted to approximately HK$12.5 million for the Period, representing a decrease of approximately HK$27.3 million or 68.6% from approximately HK$39.8 million for the same period of the previous financial year. It was mainly attributable to the decrease in revenue and gross profit margin of semiconductors business, which led to the gross profit of semiconductors business having decreased from approximately HK$28.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019 to approximately HK$2.8 million for the Period.
Moreover, Guangzhou Weaving Group contributed gross profit of approximately HK$9.7 million for the Period, while recorded gross profit of approximately HK$11.0 million for the same period of the previous financial year.
The Group's overall gross profit margin for the Period was approximately 11.2%, representing a decrease of approximately 11.2 percentage points as compared with gross profit margin of approximately 22.4% for the six months ended 30 June 2019. Such decrease was primarily due to the decrease of gross profit margin of semiconductor business, which decreased from approximately 19.6% for the six months ended 30 June 2019 to approximately 3.4% for the Period. This was mainly attributable to the public health measures put in place to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused temporary suspension of production of semiconductors for about one month after the Chinese New Year. The anti-epidemic measures such as the quarantine, social distancing and other pandemic containment measures have also reduced the Group's productivity and incurred incremental costs to the Group. Furthermore, there were also increase in labour costs driven by the labour shortage for the manufacture of semiconductors in Dongguan, Guangdong, the PRC and the additional costs incurred for the new quality assurance system to cope with customers' new technological standard and requirements on semiconductors.
The gross profit margin of Guangzhou Weaving Group was recorded at approximately 31.4% and 35.8% respectively for the Period and the same period of the previous financial year. The decrease was mainly attributable to more commission cost being incurred when facing the downward pressure and adverse impact to the economic activities brought from the outbreak of COVID-19.

BUSINESS PROSPECT
Looking ahead to the second half of 2020, the global economy is expected to face the uncertainties aroused by COVID-19 and the growing tension of the global trade dispute and tariff battle between China and the United States. It is expected that the reduction of global economic activities would continue to affect the customer orders of semiconductors in the second half of 2020.
The semiconductor industry and its downstream industries are characterized by rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards and an effective quality assurance system is critical to the success of the Group. The Group intends to continue its research and development to strengthen its production process and quality control.
The management will continue to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and closely monitor the market condition of semiconductors, including the recovery progress of customer demand, the increasing technical standard requested by customers and the current industry standard of semiconductors for the production of electronic devices with more advanced technological functions.
On the other hand, after the completion of the acquisition of Guangzhou Weaving in September 2019, the Group has expanded its business to smart living sector. Guangzhou Weaving is principally engaged in broadband construction infrastructure and the provision of integrated solutions for smart domain application in the PRC, which include smart home, smart campus and smart communities. Under the China's state policies, technological innovation and development are highly encouraged and supported. At present, China maintains a leading position in 5G network technology in the world, and the full implementation of 5G network in commercial and civilian applications has already commenced. It is foreseeable that artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, cloud computing and big data processing will be benefited continuously from the PRC government's dedicated support in its development. The technological innovation will speed up and further stimulate the growth and development of technological application in the smart living sector.
Brainhole Technology Limited Interim Report 2020 | 37 |
Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has enhanced the public awareness on hygiene and social distancing, especially in the PRC. With the effective use of contactless solution, the safety of living environment can be promoted and protected. The application of various smart technology has also widely extended from home to communities and other application scenarios. The management believes, this pandemic will bring another opportunity to facilitate the rapid development of smart technology application. In view of these, the Group will capitalise the fast-growing demand of technological application in the smart living sector.
In the future, Guangzhou Weaving is dedicated to be a hardware solution integrator for smart domain application. Hence, the Group will keep searching for other acquisition or investment targets, primarily focusing on areas of smart living related technology and electronic parts for artificial intelligence and Internet of Things, which could have potential business synergy with Guangzhou Weaving and semiconductor business, as well as other area of technology which could improve the living standard of human beings.
Looking forward, the Group is vigorous to explore other possible business opportunities, and one of the potential opportunities is to develop smart campus in the PRC, an all-in-one technological innovation industrial parks, that supports and pilots application of innovative solutions, drive new technology development and enhance collaboration of high technology companies. The Group possesses strong management team with high technology expertise and network in the field of mobile telecommunication, networking and smart city. Leveraging on its well- established relationship with telecom carriers and property developers (such as Seedland and R&F Properties), the Group aims to assist local government to build up the smart campus from scratch, including building the innovation centers, inserting necessary infrastructure and technological support. The management believes, with the supportive preferential policies from local government, the smart campus can act as an incubator to attract talents and enterprises from nationwide and worldwide to start their research and development and production line of smart technologies within the parks. The Group can enjoy the synergy created together with the incubatees, the property developers and the local government.
