(NEX: GOWIN)

 

Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2018

 

London: Thursday, 27th September 2018Gowin New Energy Group Limited, engaged in the research and development, outsourcing and sales of LED lighting products, and the tea trading business, today announces its unaudited financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

 

Chairman's Statement

 

Business Overview 

 

The principal activity of Gowin New Energy Group Limited ("the Group'' or "Gowin")) has historically been research and development, and sales of LED lighting products. As described in the Group's 2017 Annual Report, more recently the Group has begun to develop a Tea business as a promising new business source of Group earnings. Various preparation steps have been undertaken. On 9 May 2018, the Group announced various share dealings related to the proposed Tea business. On 1 June 2018, the Group announced it had acquired short term capital to prepare for the Tea business through shareholder loans from three shareholders of the Group.

 

Tea business transactions (Pu'er tea at this time) will be conducted by the Group's wholly owned subsidiary Rosin Trading Limited ("Rosin").  Revenues derived by Rosin will accordingly be consolidated into the Group's financial accounts.

 

As previously disclosed, the Group's focus on LED and Back Light Module products is achieved through its investment in Taiwan Thick-Film Industries Corp. ("TTFI"), listed on the Taipei Stock Exchange. TTFI has announced it intends to pay a dividend in scrip; valued at 40 shares per 1000 shares owned by investors. Gowin and Rosin expect to be distributed a total of 40,000 shares - 25,800 to Gowin and 14,200 to Rosin. TTFI will have a Board meeting shortly to confirm the distribution and release date. TTFI continues to have a good business outlook for the rest of 2018.

 

The Group has conducted one General Meeting to date in 2018. An Annual General Meeting was held in Taiwan on 9 March 2018, with all resolutions unanimously passed.

 

Financial Position

 

The Group will increasingly generate its earnings through developing its TEA business as well as from associated investment returns in selected other businesses. During this period of new business development CEO Mr. Chen Chih-Lung has signed a pledge letter continuing his commitment to support the Group's working capital needs as necessary, such that the Group does not anticipate any working capital or going concern issues in the foreseeable future. Additionally, the Group announced on 3 April 2018 that Mr. Chen had converted a Convertible Note to ordinary shares, thereby reducing the debt burden on the Group.

 

Business Outlook and Conclusion

 

The Board will continue to examine opportunities to grow in the Tea industry in 2018 and other new business areas. The Board will keep the market informed of each step of Tea business development as it occurs. The Directors look forward to the rest of this year with confidence.

Gowin New Energy Group Limited

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial information

For the six months ended 30 June 2018

 

1.       General information

 

Gowin New Energy Group Limited ("Gowin") 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 19F, No. 1086, Zhongzheng Road, Taoyuan District, Taoyuan City 330, Taiwan.

 

The principal activity of Gowin New Energy Group Limited and its subsidiaries ("the Group'') has historically been the research and development, outsourcing and sales of LED lighting products. The Group is continuing with its corporate restructuring including investing in businesses in related fields. During this period of corporate restructuring, 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 NEX Exchange (NEX) Growth Market.

 

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 condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards and in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial information set out above does not constitute statutory accounts. They have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 were approved by the Board of Directors on 31 May 2018. The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unmodified.

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial information of the Company has not been audited.

 

3.       Going Concern

 

The principal activity of Gowin New Energy Group Limited ("the Group'') has historically been research and development, and sales of LED lighting products. During the period, the Group has made progress in the new tea trading business. The CEO Mr. Chen continues to support the Group's working capital requirements on demand by way of loans and guarantees. 

 

The Group also anticipates further fundraising through ordinary shares placements in the near future, on the back of encouraging investor interest in the new tea trading business. Consequently, the Group is confident it will have sufficient working capital to continue its operation.

 

4.       Risks and uncertainties

 

The additional activities planned for the Group will add new challenges, risks and uncertainties. The Board is activity 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 condensed consolidated interim financial information requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 2017 Annual Report and Financial Statements. The nature and amounts of such estimates have not changed significantly during the interim period except for the valuation of the carrying amount of long term investments as disclosed in note 8.

 

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 and financial liabilities 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 2017 Annual Report and Financial Statement, except for the adoption of the amendments and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning 1 January 2018.

 

The effect of the adoption of these amendments and interpretations was not material to the Group's results or financial position.

 

7.       Revenue and segment information

 

Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold and is net of value-added tax and sales return. There is no seasonality or cyclicality of the Group's operations. For the periods presented, the Group as a whole is an operating segment since the Group is only engaged in optoelectronic products and related business. No Group's geographical information has been disclosed as the majority of the Group's operating activities are carried out in the PRC and Taiwan (for the purpose of preparing the financial statements, the PRC refers to the Mainland China and Hong Kong) and the Group's assets are all located in the PRC and Taiwan. The revenue generated during the period relates to the LED trading business only.

 

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.

 

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets "at fair value through profit or loss", "held-to-maturity investments", "available-for-sale" financial assets and "loans and receivables". The classification depends on the nature and purpose of financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

 

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, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss - is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in the consolidated income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the consolidated income statement.
