2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its financial statements presentation of its reporting currency from RMB to USD. Financial information for all periods presented in the filing were recast into the new reporting currency using a methodology consistent with IAS 21. Accordingly, the interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were presented in USD, unless otherwise stated. They were approved for issue by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors on September 30, 2024.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2023 annual financial statements, except for the change of reporting currency and accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the 2024 annual financial statements. Details of any changes in accounting policies are set out in note 3.
These interim financial statements contain 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 2023 annual financial statements.
3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its presentation currency from RMB to USD to be more relevant to users.
Prior to January 1, 2024, the Company reported its annual and interim consolidated financial statements in RMB. In making this change in presentation currency, the Company followed the recommendations set out in IAS 21, the Effects of Change in Foreign Exchange Rates. In accordance with IAS 21, comparable financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2023 have been restated retrospectively in the new presentation currency of USD using the current rate method.
The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 of the Company have been prepared in RMB and translated into the new presentation currency of USD using the current rate method.
The procedure under the current rate method as applied in these interim condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements is outlined as below:
● | balances for the six months ended June 30, 2023 reported in the Interim Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Interim Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been translated into USD using average foreign currency rates prevailing for the period; |
● | balances as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 reported in the Interim Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Change in Equity, including share-based payment reserve, foreign currency translation reserve, deficit and share capital, have been translated into USD using historical rates; and |
● | basic and diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2023 have been restated to USD to reflect the change in presentation currency. |
All resulting exchange differences arising from the translation are included as separate component of other comprehensive income (loss).
The effect of the change in functional currency to USD was applied prospectively in the financial statements effective January 1, 2024. The financial position of the Company as at January 1, 2024 has been translated from RMB to USD at an exchange rate of .
All transactions for the Company are recorded in USD from January 1, 2024 and onwards. Transactions denominated in currencies other than USD are considered foreign currency transactions. Foreign currency transactions are translated into USD using the foreign currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Period-end balances of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated to USD using period-end foreign currency rates. Foreign currency gains and losses arising from the settlement of foreign currency transactions are recognized in profit or loss.
At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the IASB has issued a number of amendments, new standards and interpretations which are not yet effective for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and which have not been adopted in these financial statements. These include the following which may be relevant to the Group :
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 | Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture |
The management of the Company anticipate that the application of all the new and amendments to IFRSs will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the foreseeable future.
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgments, 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.
5. REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME
