GENERAL INFORMATION The Company was incorporated and registered as an exempted company with limited liability in the Cayman Islands under the Companies Law Chapter 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands on 14 June 2016. On 31 July 2018, the Company’s shares have been listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”). The Company is an investment holding company. The subsidiaries of the Group, are mainly engaged in the provision of full spectrum private fundamental education, including preschool, primary, middle and high schools in the PRC.

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of 31 August 2019, the Group recorded net current liabilities of approximately RMB461,609,000. In view of these circumstances, the directors of the Company have given consideration of the future liquidity and performance of the Group and its available sources of finance in assessing whether the Group will have sufficient financial resources to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis because the directors of the Company are satisfied that the Group will have sufficient financial resources to meet its financial obligations as they fall due in the next twelve months by taking into account the Group’s cash flow projection including the extended payment terms as granted by certain suppliers after 31 August 2019, and the Group’s future capital expenditure in respect of its non-cancellable capital commitments. 3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”) The Group has applied the following new and amendments to HKFRSs and new interpretation issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) for the first time in the current year: HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the related Amendments HK(IFRIC) – Int 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration Amendments to HKFRS 2 Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions Amendments to HKFRS 4 Applying HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments with HKFRS 4 Insurance Contracts Amendments to HKAS 28 As part of the Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle Amendments to HKAS 40 Transfers of Investment Property Except as described below, the application of the new and amendments to HKFRSs and new interpretation in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial performance and positions for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements. The additions and amendments to the HKFRSs and the interpretation of which have been applied in accordance with the relevant transition provisions in the respective standards and amendments which results in changes in accounting policies, amounts reported and disclosures as described below. The application of these additions and amendments to the HKFRSs and the interpretation of which in the current period has no significant financial effect on the financial position or performance of the Group set out in these consolidated financial statements except for those described below. 3.1 Impacts and changes in accounting policies of application on HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Group has applied HKFRS 15 for the first time in the current period. HKFRS 15 superseded HKAS 18 Revenue, HKAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related interpretations. – 5 – The Group has applied HKFRS 15 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application, i.e. 1 September 2018. Any difference at the date of initial application is recognised in the opening accumulated profits (or other components of equity, as appropriate) and comparative information has not been restated. Furthermore, in accordance with the transition provisions in HKFRS 15, the Group has elected to apply the standard retrospectively only to contracts that are not completed at 1 September 2018. Accordingly, certain comparative information may not be comparable as comparative information was prepared under HKAS 18 Revenue and HKAS 8 Revenue. 3.1.1 Key changes in accounting policies resulting from application of HKFRS 15 Revenue is recognised to depict the transfer of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Specifically, the Group uses a 5-step approach to revenue recognition: • Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer • Step 2: Identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract(s) • Step 3: Determine the transaction price • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract • Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the Group satisfies a performance obligation The Group recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when “control” of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

  • Lithofacies Palaeogeography of the Late Permian Wujiaping Age in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Region, China
    Journal of Palaeogeography 2014, 3(4): 384-409 DOI: 10.3724/SP.J.1261.2014.00063 Lithofacies palaeogeography and sedimentology Lithofacies palaeogeography of the Late Permian Wujiaping Age in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Region, China Jin-Xiong Luo*, You-Bin He, Rui Wang School of Geosciences, Yangtze University, Wuhan 430100, China Abstract The lithofacies palaeogeography of the Late Permian Wujiaping Age in Middle and Upper Yangtze Region was studied based on petrography and the “single factor analysis and multifactor comprehensive mapping” method. The Upper Permian Wujiaping Stage in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Region is mainly composed of carbonate rocks and clastic rocks, with lesser amounts of siliceous rocks, pyroclastic rocks, volcanic rocks and coal. The rocks can be divided into three types, including clastic rock, clastic rock-limestone and lime- stone-siliceous rock, and four fundamental ecological types and four fossil assemblages are recognized in the Wujiaping Stage. Based on a petrological and palaeoecological study, six single factors were selected, namely, thickness (m), content (%) of marine rocks, content (%) of shallow water carbonate rocks, content (%) of biograins with limemud, content (%) of thin- bedded siliceous rocks and content (%) of deep water sedimentary rocks. Six single factors maps of the Wujiaping Stage and one lithofacies palaeogeography map of the Wujiaping Age were composed. Palaeogeographic units from west to east include an eroded area, an alluvial plain, a clastic rock platform, a carbonate rock platform where biocrowds developed, a slope and a basin. In addition, a clastic rock platform exists in the southeast of the study area. Hydro- carbon source rock and reservoir conditions were preliminarily analyzed based on lithofacies palaeogeography.

  • Earthquake and Poverty with Chinese Characteristics Wenchuan Earthquake Affected Communities Ten Years After the Disaster
    UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Earthquake and poverty with Chinese characteristics Wenchuan earthquake affected communities ten years after the disaster Dragana Grulovic Asia and Middle East Studies/Chinese Society and Politics KIN4593 – Master’s Thesis in Chinese Society and Politics (30 credits) Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages Spring 2019 Earthquake and poverty with Chinese characteristics Wenchuan earthquake affected communities ten years after the disaster © Dragana Grulovic 2019 Earthquake and poverty with Chinese characteristics - Wenchuan earthquake affected communities ten years after the disaster Dragana Grulovic https://www.duo.uio.no Print: Webergs Print Abstract In May 2008, China was struck by a massive earthquake that killed closed to 70,000 people. Communities were torn to the ground, and the economic losses were enormous. Ten years have passed since the massive forces took place, and communities and lives have been rebuilt, with some preceding their pre-disaster economic levels. This study applies survey data to estimate the poverty rates in the Wenchuan earthquake affected communities ten years after the disaster. I find that in 2018, the poverty incidence was 3% in the overall area, as compared to 9% before the earthquake. Of the total of 198 sampled communities, 27 reported having no government- designated poor people. However, 23 communities have a poverty prevalence of 10% or higher. These communities have few characteristics in common in terms of demographic structure and access to public services. About half of the communities are located in government-designated poor counties, while the rest are not. Altogether, the poverty situation in the Wenchuan earthquake affected area reflects the complexity of poverty in China.
