Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2023

 

London: Thursday, 28 September 2023: Gowin New Energy Group Limited, engaged in the sale and investment of LED related products, tea trading and agarwood trading businesses, today announces its unaudited financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2023.

 

2023 Interim Report Chairman's Statement

 

Gowin New Energy Group Limited (the "Group" or "Gowin") is pleased to release its Interim report for the period 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023. There has been little material change to the financial position of the Group since the recently released 2022 Annual Report.

 

During the first half year in 2023, Gowin continued to focus on its agarwood products' design as well as on market development. New products include portable incense gift boxes and personal accessories made from raw agarwood material and high quality essential oils as well as other aromatherapy products, sourced for their therapeutic value, while maintaining aromatic vibrancy, produced via four extraction methods. Taking advantage of the improved environment as pandemic restrictions gradually eased, the Group has been proactively engaging with new prospective clients to secure their future business. The Group continues to cooperate with the supplier P&I Enterprise Company Limited who is uniquely accredited to trade agarwood under the "Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)", to ensure product sustainability and reflection of contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

 

Like the rest of the world, Gowin is contending with economic uncertainty and inflationary impacts, defensive consumer sentiment, geopolitical risk, policy risk and the climate change & sustainability agenda. The Board has committed itself to establishing a meaningful ESG, climate, and trust agenda in all its current business interests. The Board is encouraged by the opportunities ahead to establish future sustainable cashflows and a path to profitability, step by step. Gowin will continue to leverage its status as a publicly quoted company in the UK as well as its operations being adjacent to one of the world's prominent industrial zones (Taoyuan) that hosts many global technology firms. The Group will update the market on its business developments as they arise.

 

In relation to going concern risk, CEO Mr Chen Chih-Lung continues his commitment to fund short term liquidity to support the Group's working capital requirements as and when required. His most recent working capital loan was announced on 14 August 2023. These loans continue to be a measure of his determination and commitment to the Group.

 

The Directors would like to take this opportunity to express sincere gratitude to all shareholders and lenders for their continued support and to thank all staff members of the Group for their dedication and contribution to the Group.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO GOWIN NEW ENERGY GROUP LIMITED

 

Introduction

 

We have been engaged by the Group to review the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2023 which comprises the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity and Cash Flows and related notes. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of consolidated financial statements.

 

Directors' responsibilities

 

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the AQSE Rules for Issuers.

 

The annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half- yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".

 

Our responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express to the Group a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.

 

This report, including the conclusion, is made solely to the Group for the purpose of the AQSE Rules for Issuers. We do not, in producing this report, accept or assume responsibility to anyone, other than the Company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed. This report may not be provided to third parties without our prior written consent.

 

Scope of review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements. A review of interim financial information 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 International 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.


 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2023 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 and the AQSE Rules for Issuers.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial information

For the six months ended 30 June 2023

 

1.       General information

 

Gowin New Energy Group Limited ("the Company") was incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The registered office of the Company is located at Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, PO Box 2681, Grand Cayman, KY1-1111, Cayman Islands and the main business office is located at 4F., No. 5, Ln. 332, Siyuan Rd.,Xinzhuang Dist., New Taipei City,Taiwan (R.O.C.).

 

The principal activity of Gowin New Energy Group Limited and its subsidiaries ("the Group'') has been product research and development. In the last year, the Group was engaged in the agarwood trading business. The Group will continue to invest in businesses in related or different fields.

 

During the period, the CEO, Mr. Chen Chih Lung, has supported the Group financially by way of loans and guarantees.

 

The Company's shares are listed on the AQUIS Stock Exchange (AQSE).

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial information is presented in Renminbi ("RMB"), which is the presentational and functional currency of the Group, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except where indicated otherwise.

 

2.       Basis of Preparation

 

The non-statutory condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the valuation and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) Interpretations, together with International Accounting Standard 34.

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for equity investments held at fair value through profit or loss.

 

The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Consolidated non-statutory Financial Statements, are disclosed in Note 5.


 

2.       Basis of Preparation (continued) New/revised IFRSs adopted by the Group

Amendments to IAS 1

Disclosure of Accounting Policies

Amendments to IAS 8

Definition of Accounting Estimates

Amendments to IAS 12

Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising

from a Single Transaction

 

The adoption of these new/revised IFRSs did not result in material changes to the Group's accounting policies and/or amounts reported for the current and prior periods.

 

3.       Going Concern

 

The non-statutory condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

 

The Group reported a net loss after tax of RMB 3,265,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2023 (six months ended 30 June 2022: loss of RMB 2,040,000) and has net current liabilities as at 30 June 2023 of RMB 25,513,000. Management's assessment of the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern has considered cashflow forecasts, including assumptions regarding the Group's activities, funds raising from existing shareholders and the open market, and the Group's ability to settle liabilities as and when they fall due.

 

Mr. Chen has recommitted his personal financial support to provide loans for business operations as and when required for a period of no less than 12 months from the date of the condensed interim financial statements.

 

Management has also taken certain measures including negotiation with certain directors and equity holders to obtain their undertaking not to demand repayment of amounts owed to them until there are sufficient funds available for repayment and securing new funding from existing shareholders and / or new investors.

 

Based on the above, the Directors consider there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to fund the Group's future operating expenses. Should the Group not be able to continue trading, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for further liabilities which might arise and to re-classify non-currents assets as current. The non-statutory condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be required should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.


 

4.       Risks and uncertainties

 

The activities planned for the Group will add new challenges, risks and uncertainties. The Board is actively reviewing the impact of its plans but does not immediately see any variations in the key financial risks other than the valuation of investments.

 

5.       Critical accounting estimates and judgements

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial information requires Management to make estimates and assumptions which would affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and/or disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates are set out in Note 5 of the Group's 2022 Annual Report and Financial Statements. The nature and amounts of such estimates have not changed significantly during the interim period.

 

6.       Significant accounting policies

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

 

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial information are consistent with those used in the Group's 2022 Annual Report and Financial Statements.

 

7.       Segment information

 

The business of the Group is primarily focused on the procurement, sales and distribution of agarwood for the current and prior period. For the purpose of IFRS 8, the chief operating decision makers are the Group's executive directors. All of the Group's income is primarily derived from Taiwan. Internal and external reporting is on a consolidated basis, with transactions between Group companies eliminated on consolidation. Therefore, the financial information of the single segment is the same as that set out in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows.


 

8.       Financial assets

 

All financial assets are recognised and de-recognised on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned and are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss which are initially measured at fair value.

 

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset, or a group of financial assets, is impaired. For equity investments classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is evidence that the assets are impaired. fair value loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
