( "GVMH" or the "Company")
Final results
The CEO's Report
The Company is pleased to present the first full year of trading following the
reverse takeover of GVC Holdings Limited in 2018. Following the reverse
takeover, the Group has continued to develop its business plan in line with
market conditions, and has looked to further expand its geographical presence
in Asia through strategic partnerships, whilst evaluating new technologies to
promote the Out-of-home (OOH) advertising business.
2019 was a difficult year for the Group, with major political unrest in Hong
Kong in the second half of the year having an adverse effect on the Group's
performance.
Summary of Trading Results
Trading during the first half of the year was in line with the prior year, with
revenues exceeding the prior year by 6%. The conditions worsened in the second
half of the year due to the political unrest in Hong Kong. There was a
significant reduction in Chinese tourists to Hong Kong, and disruption to daily
life, which resulted in reduced revenues in OOH advertising revenues and
digital marketing revenues. Total revenue for the year was HK$12,034K [2018 :
HK$18,026K], a decline of 33% compared to the prior year.
The total comprehensive loss for the year was HK$14,957K [2018 : HK$32,290K].
Although this is significantly improved, the prior year included the costs of
the reverse takeover of HK$5,259K.
The Group has 200 panels [2018 : 180] in cinemas across China, and is
evaluating other technologies to promote OOH advertising in the cinema space as
well as other locations.
Cash in hand at the end of the year was HK$510K. The Group successfully raised
GBP670K in convertible loan notes in the year, and was pleased to be further
supported by existing shareholders in this regard
Outlook
COVID-19 has had a significant adverse effect on the Group's performance in
2020. The major restrictions on travel and closure of businesses has caused
significant disruption and erosion of confidence. Sales for the first quarter
of the year are below the prior year as a result of the ongoing cinema closures
in China, resulting in reduced OOH advertising revenues, and reduced marketing
budgets in Hong Kong due to the pandemic, resulting in reduced revenues for
digital marketing. The outlook for 2020 remains uncertain due to the ongoing
effects of COVID-19 on the business environment in China and Hong Kong.
It is uncertain as to when trading conditions will return to normal, but the
disruption to the Group is expected to last for a number of months.
The Group has increased its focus on eCommerce marketing and services to
mitigate against the decline in its traditional revenues, by leveraging its
contact base and international business network. These services are
predominantly targeted at suppliers of medical equipment, who have experienced
a significant increase in activity levels as a result of the pandemic.
The Group are also looking at expanding the OOH business model into Singapore,
and to also include OOH advertising within vending machines and smart retail
channels.
Section 172 Statement
The Directors are well aware of their duty under s172 of the Companies Act 2006
to act in the way which they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to
promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole
and, in doing so, to have regard (amongst other matters) to:
* the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
* the interests of the Group's employees;
* the need to foster the Group's business relationships with suppliers,
customers and others;
* the impact of the Group's operations on the community and the environment;
* the desirability of the Group maintaining a reputation for high standards of
business conduct; and
* the need to act fairly between members of the Group.
The Board recognises that the long-term success of the Grand Vision Media
Holdings Group requires positive interaction with its stakeholders. Positive
engagement with stakeholders will enable our stakeholders to better understand
the activities, needs and challenges of the business and enable the Board to
better understand and address relevant stakeholder views which will assist the
Board's in its decision making and to discharge its duties under Section 172 of
the Companies Act 2006.
In the following section we identify our key stakeholders, how we engage with
them and key activities we have undertaken during the period in question.
Our Strategic Partners
The Company works closely with its major supplier Marvel Digital Limited and
its cinema partners Dadi Cinema Group and Perfect World Cinema Group, who are
important strategic partners with the Group. We have developed an open and
transparent relationship with these partners, which promotes the long-term
success for the Group. During 2019, we continued to work closely with Marvel to
evaluate new technologies for OOH advertising. And with our cinema partners, we
continued to evaluate their space to promote new ideas for mutual benefit.
Our Shareholders
The Company has been well-supported by its shareholders for many years, who
have provided shareholder loans historically, and during 2019, some
shareholders participated in the convertible loan note issue. The Company
endeavours to keep shareholders updated on regulatory matters, and is committed
to provide transparent information to them, both through the annual report and
ad-hoc communications.
Our Customers
The Company strives to maintain strong relationships with its customers, which
will promote long term growth. The relationships with customers who advertise
with the Company are maintained through regular contact and relationship
management.
Our Employees
The Company believes that good staff morale engenders increased efficiency and
loyalty, and hence promotes staff welfare and well-being. Staff needs are
constantly monitored and improved on an ongoing basis.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Directors consider the following risk factors to be of relevance to the
Group's activities. It should be noted that the list is not exhaustive and that
other risk factors not presently known or currently deemed immaterial may
apply. The risk factors are summarised below:
i. Development Risk
The Group's development will be, in part, dependent on the ability of the
Directors to continue to expand the current business and identify suitable
investment opportunities and to implement the Group's strategy. There is no
assurance that the Group will be successful in the expansion of the business,
which is dependent on raising sufficient capital.
ii. Sector Risk
The OOH media sector is subject to competition from other marketing channels
and technologies, particularly the impact of digital marketing.
We also compete with other OOH media locations, such as traffic hubs, elevators
and other locations, which are more established.
There is a risk of 3D technology not being well received, given that it is a
new media platform in the OOH sector. The Company is continuously looking for
new and innovative platforms to differentiate itself, and there is no guarantee
that these new platforms will be effective.
iii. Political and Regulatory Risk
The Group is subject to amendments to laws imposed by China and by other
jurisdictions where the Group does business, including laws that govern the
time, place and manner of advertising, that may impair or even prevent the
Group from conducting its business.
Furthermore, prior to distributing advertisements for certain commodities,
advertising distributors and advertisers are obligated to ensure compliance to
relevant regulations. Violation of these regulations may result in penalties,
including fines, confiscation of advertising income, orders to cease
dissemination of the advertisements.
In circumstances involving serious violations, the SAIC or its local branches
may revoke violators' licenses or permits for advertising business operations.
In addition, advertisers, advertising operators or advertising distributors may
be subject to civil liability if they infringe on the legal rights and
interests of third parties in the course of their advertising business. The
Group has implemented procedures to ensure the content of our advertisement are
properly reviewed and the advertisement would only be published upon the
receipt of content approval from the relevant administrative authorities.
However, the Group can provide no assurance that all the content of the
advertisements is true and in full compliance with applicable laws.
In the event that the Group was in violation of such regulations the business,
financial condition, results of operations and the prospects of the Group
could be materially and adversely affected.
iv. Environmental Risks and Hazards
All phases of the Group's operations are subject to environmental regulation in
the areas in which it operates. Environmental legislation is evolving in a
manner that may require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and
penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of
proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and
their officers, directors and employees.
There is no assurance that existing or future environmental regulation will not
materially adversely affect the Group's business, financial condition and
results of operations. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties on
which the Group holds interests that are unknown to the Group at present. The
Board manages this risk by working with environmental consultants and by
engaging with the relevant governmental departments and other concerned
stakeholders.
v. Internal Control and Financial Risk Management
The Board has overall responsibility for the Group's systems of internal
control and for reviewing their effectiveness. The Group maintains systems
which are designed to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against
material loss and to manage rather than eliminate risk.
The key features of the Group's systems of internal control are as follows:
o Management structure with clearly identified responsibilities;
o Production of timely and comprehensive historical management information
presented to the Board;
o Detailed budgeting and forecasting;
o Day to day hands on involvement of the Executive Directors and Senior
Management; and
o Regular board and meetings and discussions with the Non-executive directors.
The Group's activities expose it to several financial risks including cash flow
risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk.
vi. Environmental Policy
The Group is aware of the potential impact that its subsidiary and associate
companies may have on the environment. The Group ensures that it complies with
all local regulatory requirements and seeks to implement a best practice
approach to managing environmental aspects.
vii. Health and Safety
The Group's aim is to achieve and maintain a high standard of workplace safety.
In order to achieve this objective, the Group provides ongoing training and
support to employees and sets demanding standards for workplace safety.
viii. Financing Risk
The development of the Group's business may depend upon the Group's ability to
obtain financing primarily through the raising of new equity capital or debt.
The Group's ability to raise further funds may be affected by the success of
existing and acquired investments. The Group may not be successful in procuring
the requisite funds on terms which are acceptable to it (or at all) and, if
such funding is unavailable, the Group may be required to reduce the scope of
its investments or the anticipated expansion. Further, Shareholders' holdings
of Ordinary Shares may be materially diluted if debt financing is not
available.
ix. Credit Risk
The Group does not have bank loans or other borrowings except for shareholder
loans. The Group has benefitted from further shareholder loans, although there
is no guarantee that these will continue in the future. We have reviewed the
accounts receivable and have made adequate provisions as appropriate.
x. Liquidity Risk
The Directors have reviewed the working capital forecasts for the Group and
believe that there is sufficient working capital to fund the business as it
progresses to break even. The group is reliant on raising new capital for
expansion, which is not guaranteed.
xi. Market Risk
The group's investments is in its subsidiary, GVC Holdings Ltd. The shares are
not readily tradable.
xii. Capital Risk
The Group manages its capital resources to ensure that entities in the Group
will be able to continue as a going concern, while maximising shareholder
return.
The capital structure of the Group consists of equity attributable to
shareholders, comprising issued share capital and reserves. The availability of
new capital will depend on many factors including a positive operating
environment, positive stock market conditions, the Group's track record, and
the experience of management. There are no externally imposed capital
requirements. The Directors are confident that adequate cash resources exist
or will be made available to finance operations but controls over expenditure
are carefully managed.
xiii. Covid 19 Outbreak
The group acknowledge the Covid -19 outbreak and impact of it on the company
financials and worldwide economy which can be easily understandable. The
pandemic which started spreading from mid-February 2020 to the world is still
affecting a lot of people. Scientists are working to invent a proper vaccine of
Covid -19.
Going Concern
The day to day working capital requirements and investment objectives are met
by existing cash resources and the convertible loan notes issued during the
year . At 31 December 2019 the Group had cash balance of HKD510k. The Group's
forecasts and projections, taking into account increase in revenue from new
streams and changes in the level of overhead costs, show that the company
should be able to operate within its available cash resources. The directors
have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable
expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in existence for
the foreseeable future. They therefore continue to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Financial risk and management of capital
The major balances and financial risks to which the company is exposed to and
the controls in place to minimise those risks are disclosed in Note 20.
A description of how the company manages its capital is also disclosed in Note
19.
The Board considers and reviews these risks on a strategic and day-to-day basis
in order to minimise any potential exposure.
Emissions
The Group is not an intensive user of fossil fuels or electricity. As a result,
it is not practical to determine carbon emission with any degree of accuracy.
Financial instruments
The company has not entered into any financial instruments to hedge against
interest rate or exchange rate risk.
Supplier payment policy
It is the Group's payment policy to pay suppliers in line with industry norms.
These payables are paid on a timely basis within contractual terms which is
generally 30 to 60 days from date of receipt of invoice.
Auditors
Jeffreys Henry LLP were appointed auditors to the company and in accordance
with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution proposing that they be
re-appointed will be put at a General Meeting.
Statement of directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the
financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare Group and parent company
financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have
elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use in the European Union.
Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements
unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of
affairs of the group and company and of the group's profit or loss for that
period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
· select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
· make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
· state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted
by the European Union
· prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are
sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and
company. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the group and
company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection
of fraud and other irregularities.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the
corporate and financial information included on the Company's website.
Corporate Governance
The Board recognises that good standards of corporate governance help the
Company to achieve its strategic goals and is vital for the success of the
Company. The Company adopts proper standards of corporate governance and
follows the principles of best practice set out in Corporate Governance Code
(2018), as far as is appropriate for the size and nature of the Company and the

INDEPENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF GRAND VISION MEDIA HOLDINGS PLC
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Grand Vision Media Holdings Plc
(the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31
December 2019 which comprise the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income, the consolidated and company statements of financial position, the
consolidated and company statements of cash flows, the consolidated and company
statements of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion:
· the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the
group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2019 and of the
group's loss for the year then ended;
· the group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance
with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union;
· the parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in
accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and as applied in
accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and
· the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
(UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards
are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the
financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company
in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of
the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard as
applied to listed entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to note 2.3 in the financial statements, which explains that
the Group has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows
from operations. The trade of the Group had a significant negative impact due
to the political unrest in Hong Kong during 2019 and due to COVID-19 pandemic
during 2020 from the closure of cinemas across China and Hong Kong. The Group
forecasts include revenue derived from new revenue streams, upon which the
Group is dependent to meet its current cash requirements. The directors are
satisfied that the revenue from these ventures will commence during 2020 and
will generate sufficient cashflow to support the cash requirements of the
Group. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set out in note
2.3 indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the
Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in
respect of this matter.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of
most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current
period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement
(whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the
greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in
the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole,
and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters. This is not a complete list of all risks identified by our
audit.
· Going concern issues
· Carrying value of investments and recoverability of intercompany loans

Our application of materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. We set
certain quantitative thresholds for materiality. These, together with
qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and
the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures on the individual
financial statement line items and disclosures and in evaluating the effect of
misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements
as a whole.
Based on our professional judgment, we determined materiality for the financial
statements as a whole as follows:
Group financial statements Company financial statements
Overall materiality HKD 700,000. HKD 119,000.
How we determined it 5% of Net Loss. 10% of Net Loss.
Rationale for We believe that loss before We believe that loss before
benchmark applied tax is a primary measure used tax is a primary measure used
by shareholders in assessing by shareholders in assessing
the performance of the Company the performance of the Company
and is a generally accepted and is a generally accepted
auditing benchmark. auditing benchmark.
For each component in the scope of our Group audit, we allocated a materiality
that is less than our overall Group materiality. The range of materiality
allocated across components was between HK$1,000 and HK$343,000.
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements
identified during our audit above HK$14,000 as well as misstatements below
those amounts that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.
An overview of the scope of our audit
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the
risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we
looked at where the directors made subjective judgments, for example in respect
of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and
considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our
audits we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls,
including evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that
represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
How we tailored the audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to
be able to give an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into
account the structure of the Group and the Company, the accounting processes
and controls, and the industry in which they operate.
The Group financial statements are a consolidation of 10 reporting units,
comprising the Group's operating businesses and holding companies.
We performed audits of the complete financial information of Grand Vision Media
Holdings Plc, and GVC Holdings Ltd reporting units, which were individually
financially significant and accounted for 100% of the Group's revenue and 100%
of the Group's absolute profit before tax (i.e. the sum of the numerical values
without regard to whether they were profits or losses for the relevant
reporting units). We also performed specified audit procedures over goodwill
and other intangible assets, as well as certain account balances and
transaction classes that we regarded as material to the Group at 10 reporting
units.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the
financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the
extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is
to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material
misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material
misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the
other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that
there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
· the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report
for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is
consistent with the financial statements; and
· the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in
accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent company
and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified
material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to
which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
· adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or
returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited
by us; or
· the parent company financial statements [and the part of the directors'
remuneration report to be audited] are not in agreement with the accounting
records and returns; or
· certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not
made; or
· we have not received all the information and explanations we require for
our audit.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement [set out
on page 9], the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial
statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the
preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for
assessing the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to
liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and
are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at:
www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our
auditor's report.
Other matters which we are required to address
The non-audit services prohibited by the FRC's Ethical Standard were not
provided to the group or the parent company and we remain independent of the
group and the parent company in conducting our audit.
Our audit opinion is consistent with the additional report to the audit
committee.
Use of this report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance
with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been
undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are
required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility
to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our
audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements
1. Reporting entities
The Company is a UK incorporated entity with a registered number of 10028625.
GVMH's head office is in Honk Kong from where it is managed. These consolidated
financial statements comprise GVMH and its subsidiaries. GVMH and its
subsidiaries are primarily involved in social media marketing.
2. Accounting policies
2.1. Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU.
2.2. Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The consolidated financial statements consolidate those of the Company and its
subsidiaries (together the "Group" or "Grand Vision Media Holdings Plc"). The
consolidated financial statements of the Group and the individual financial
statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with applicable UK law and
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European
Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act
2006. The Directors consider that the financial information presented in these
Financial Statements represents fairly the financial position, operations and
cash flows for the period, in conformity with IFRS.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the
Company and its subsidiaries and associated undertakings. All of the
subsidiaries have the same reporting date of 31 December.
2.3. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs)
Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The Group has applied any applicable new standards, amendments to standards and
interpretations that are mandatory for the financial year beginning on or after
1 January 2019.
The nature and impact of amendment is described below:
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and it replaces IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4
Determining whether an arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating
Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving
the Legal Form of a Lease. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to
account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the
accounting for finance leases under IAS 17. The standard includes two
recognition exemptions for lessees - leases of 'low-value' assets (e.g.
personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e. leases with a lease term of
twelve months or less). At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will
recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e. the lease liability) and an
asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term
(i.e. the right-of-use asset).
Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest expense on the
lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.
Lessees will be also required to remeasure the lease liability upon the
occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change in the lease term, a change in
future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to
determine those payments). The lessee will generally recognise the amount of
the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right of use
asset.
IFRS 16, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2019, requires lessees and lessors to make more extensive disclosures than
under IAS 17.
(b) New, amended standards, interpretations not adopted by the Group
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations to
existing standards have been published that are mandatory for the Group's
accounting periods beginning after 1 January 2019, or later periods, where the
Group intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become
effective. The Group has disclosed below those standards that are likely to be
applicable to the Group and is currently assessing the impact of these
standards.
* IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", effective date 1 January 2020
clarifies application of business combination for the group.
* IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 "Interest rate benchmark reform" effective
date 1 January 2020 clarifies Interest rate benchmark for all the entities of
the group.
* IAS 1 and IAS 8 "Definition of Material" effective date 1 January
2020 clarifies presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of
Liabilities as current and non-current.
* References to the conceptual framework effective date 1 January 2020
clarifies new IFRS standards with conceptual fraework.
Management has not yet fully assessed the impact of these standards but does
not believe they will have a material impact on the financial statements.
New and revised IFRSs in issue but not yet effective
GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries has not applied the following new and revised
IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:
Application date of
Reference Title Summary standard (Periods
commencing on or after)
IFRS 9 Prepayment features 01 January 2020
with Negative
Compensation
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts 01 January 2021
Foreign currency
The functional currency of the Group is Hong Kong Dollars (HKD), its
subsidiaries are also in HKD. The presentational currency of the Group is HKD
because a significant amount of its transactions are in HKD.
Transactions entered by the Group's entities in a currency other than the
reporting currency are recorded at the rates ruling when the transaction occur.
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates
ruling at the statement of financial position date. Exchange differences
arising on the re-translation of outstanding monetary assets and liabilities
are also recognised in the income statement.
Going concern
The Group meets its day to day working capital requirement through use of cash
reserves and existing shareholder loans. The Directors have considered whether
the going concern basis is applicable in the preparation of the financial
statements. This included the review of internal budgets, forecasts and
financial results which show that there is a reasonable expectation that the
Group should be able to operate within the level of its current funding
arrangement. The Directors have reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate resources to continue operation for the foreseeable future for the
reason they have adopted to going concern basis in the preparation of financial
statement.
The Group incurred a loss of HKD 14,957,306 for the year ended 31 December
2019. This condition indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which
may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Therefore, the Company may be unable to realise its assets. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the
Group was unable to continue as a going concern.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant effect on the Group's results since
January 2020, as digital marketing spend across the customer base declined
considerably. Furthermore, the closure of cinemas in China has adversely
affected the OOH revenue stream. To mitigate against this, the Group has taken
advantage of local stimulus wherever possible, and sought to cut costs whilst
revenues are reduced. In Hong Kong, the Employment Support Scheme has provided
assistance to pay wages from April 2020 to September 2020. Savings have also
been made through reductions in rents to cinemas, office admin staff and some
consolidation of office/storage space.
After careful consideration of the matters set out above, the Directors' are of
the opinion that the group will be able to undertake its planned activities for
the period to 30 June 2021 from reserves and ordinary funding and have prepared
the consolidated financial statement on a going concern basis.
Nevertheless, due to the uncertainties inherent in meeting its revenue
predictions and obtaining obstacle funding these can be no certainty in these
respects. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would
result if the group was unable to continue as a going concern.
2.4. Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests and GVMH PLC and its
subsidiaries reorganisation accounting
Subsidiaries are all entities over which Grand Vision Media Holdings Plc has
the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying
a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and
effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible
are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is
transferred to the Company. They are de-consolidated from the date that control
ceases.
In June 2018, Grand Vision Media Holdings Plc ("Company") acquired the entire
issued share capital of GVC Holdings Limited ("legal subsidiary") in exchange
of issuance of shares to GVC Holdings Limited. As the legal subsidiary is
reversed into the Company (the legal parent), which originally was a publicly
listed cash shell company, this transaction cannot be considered a business
combination, as the Company, the accounting acquiree does not meet the
definition of a business, under IFRS 3 'Business Combinations'. However, the
accounting for such capital transaction should be treated as a share- based
payment transaction and therefore accounted for under IFRS 2 'Share-based
payment'. Any difference in the fair value of the shares deemed to have been
issued by the GVC Holdings Limited (accounting acquirer) and the fair value of
Grand Vision Media Holdings PLC's (the accounting acquiree) identifiable net
assets represents a service received by the accounting acquirer.
Although the consolidated financial information has been issued in the name of
Grand Vision Media Holdings PLC, the legal parent, it represents in substance
continuation of the financial information of the legal subsidiary.
The assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary are recognized and measured
in the Group financial statements at the pre-combination carrying amounts and
not re-stated at fair value.
The retained earnings and other reserves balances recognized in the Group
financial statements reflect the retained earnings and other reserves balances
of the legal subsidiary immediately before the business combination and the
results of the period from June 2018 to the date of the business combination
are those of the legal subsidiary only.
The equity structure (share capital and share premium) appearing in the Group
financial statements reflects the equity structure of Grand Vision Media
Holdings PLC the legal parent. This includes the shares issued in order to
effect the business combination.
2.5. Available-for-sale investments
Available-for-sale investments represent an investment in the securities. At
the end of each reporting period the fair value is remeasured, with any
resultant gain or loss being recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated separately in equity in the fair value reserve. As an exception to
this, investments in equity securities that do not have a quoted price in an
active market for an identical instrument and whose fair value cannot otherwise
be reliably measured are recognised in the statement of financial position at
cost less impairment losses. Dividend income from equity securities and
interest income from debt securities calculated using the effective interest
method are recognised in profit or loss in accordance with the policies.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from changes in the amortised cost
of debt securities are also recognised in profit or loss.
When the investments are derecognised or impaired, the cumulative gain or loss
recognised in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. Investments are
recognised/derecognised on the date GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries commits to
purchase/sell the investments or they expire.
2.6. Property, plant and equipment
The property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses. Gains or losses arising from the retirement
or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or
disposal.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant
and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Display panels and CMS 30% - 33.33%
Computer equipment 30% - 33.33%
Furniture's and fixtures 30% - 33.33%
Leasehold improvements 30% - 50%
Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed
annually.
The carrying value of the property, plant and equipment is compared to the
higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. If the carrying
value exceeds the higher of the value in use and fair value less the costs to
sell the asset, then the asset is impaired and its value reduced by recognising
an impairment provision.
2.7. Impairment of non-financial assets, other than inventories
At the end of each reporting period, property, plant and equipment and
investments in a subsidiary are reviewed to determine whether there is any
indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an
indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset
(or GVC Holdings Ltd and its subsidiaries of related assets) is estimated and
compared with its carrying amount. If an estimated recoverable amount is lower,
the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an
impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset
(or GVC Holdings Ltd and its subsidiaries of related assets) is increased to
the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount
that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the
asset (GVC Holdings Ltd and its subsidiaries of related assets) in prior years.
A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
2.8. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is
calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of
purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is
the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the
estimated costs to completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the
sale.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is
recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is
recognised. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value
and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the
write down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of
inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories
recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
2.9. Trade and other receivables
The Group classifies all its financial assets as trade and other receivables.
The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets
were acquired.
Trade receivables and other receivables that have fixed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and
receivables financial assets. Loans and receivables financial assets are
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any
impairment loss.
The Group's loans and receivables financial assets comprise other receivables
(excluding prepayments) and cash and cash equivalents included in the Statement
of Financial Position.
2.10. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank balance. Bank overdrafts that
are repayable on demand and form an integral part of GVMH PLC's cash management
are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose
of the consolidated cash flow statement.
2.11. Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. They are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method
unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are
stated at cost.
2.12. Shareholders loan
Shareholders loans are initially recognised at fair value. They are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The difference between the fair value and the carrying amortised cost (i.e. the
effective interest portion) is first recognized in equity as capital
contribution reserve.
2.13. Employee benefits
Short-term benefits
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary
benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated services are
rendered by employees of the Group.
2.14. Taxation
(i) Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable
profit differs from 'profit before tax' as reported in the statement of profit
or loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in
other periods and items that are never taxable or deductible. Grand Vision
Media Holding Plc's current tax is calculated using rates that have been
enacted during the reporting period
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of
an asset or liability in the statement of financial position differs from its
tax base, except for differences arising on:
* the initial recognition of goodwill;
* the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction
which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects
neither accounting or taxable profit; and
* investments in subsidiaries where the Group is able to control the
timing of the reversal of the difference and it is probable that the difference
will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference can
be utilised.
The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax rates that have
been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are
expected to apply when the deferred tax liabilities or assets are settled or
recovered. Deferred tax balances are not discounted.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Group has a legally
enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities.
The Group is entitled to a tax deduction on the exercise of certain employee
share options. A share-based payment expense is recorded in the income
statement over the period from the grant date to the vesting date of the
relevant options. As there is a temporary difference between the accounting and
tax bases, a deferred tax asset may be recorded. The deferred tax asset arising
on share option awards is calculated as the estimated amount of tax deduction
to be obtained in the future (based on the Group's share price at the balance
sheet date) pro-rated to the extent that the services of the employee have been
rendered over the vesting period. If this amount exceeds the cumulative amount
of the remuneration expense at the statutory rate, the excess is recorded
directly in equity, against retained earnings. Similarly, current tax relief in
excess of the cumulative amount of the Share-based payments expense at the
statutory rate is also recorded in retained earnings.
2.15. Provision and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for other liabilities of uncertain timing or amount
when GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries or GVMH PLC has a legal or constructive
obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow
of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are
stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the
obligation.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required,
or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a
contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is
remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as
contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits
is remote.
2.16. Revenue recognition
After the adoption of IFRS 15, the company recognise revenue from contracts
with customers when (or as) the company satisfies a performance obligation by
transferring a promised good or service (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset
is transferred When (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset. When
(or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, the company recognises as
revenue the amount of the transaction price (which includes estimates of
variable consideration that are constrained in accordance with IFRS 15) that is
allocated to that performance obligation. Further details of the company's
revenue and other income recognition policies are as follows:
(i) Service income is recognised as income on a straight-line based over the
term, unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time
pattern of the user's benefit.
(ii) Barter revenueis recognised only when the goods or services being
exchanged are of a dissimilar nature. Barter revenue is measured at the fair
value of goods or services rendered, adjusted by the amount of cash or cash
equivalents received or paid. If the fair value of the goods or services
rendered cannot be relaibly measured, the revenue is measured at the fair value
of the goods or services received, again adjusted by the amount of cash or cash
equivalents received
(iii) Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the
effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, the group
reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated
future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the
instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest
income on impaired loan and receivables is recognised using the original
effective interest rate.
2.17. Translation of foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign
exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates
ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are
recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical
cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates
ruling at the transaction dates.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are
stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at
the dates the fair value was measured.
The results of foreign operations are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the
exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of
the transactions. Statement of financial position items, including goodwill
arising on consolidation of foreign operations, are translated into Hong Kong
dollars at the closing foreign exchange rates at the end of the reporting
period. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange
reserve.
On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange
differences relating to that foreign operation is reclassified from equity to
profit or loss when the profit or loss on disposal is recognised.
Exchange rates used in these accounts:
Opening Average Closing
GBP/HKD 10.29 10.02 10.33
RMB/HKD 1.17 1.14 1.12
2.18. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs represented a notional interest on shareholders' loan, which is
accrued on time proportion basis taking into account of the shareholder loan
outstanding and the interest applicable.
2.19. Financial instruments
IFRS 9 requires an entity to address the classification, measurement and
recognition of financial assets and liabilities.
a) Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement
categories:
* those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI
or through profit or loss); and
* those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the Group's business model for managing the
financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will be recorded either in
profit or loss or in OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not
held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable
election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity
investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
The Group classifies financial assets as at amortised costs only if both of the
following criteria are met:
* the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to
collect contractual cash flows; and
* the contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely
payment of principal and interest.
b) Recognition
Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date (that is,
the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset). Financial
assets are de-recognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the
financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
c) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value
plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss
(FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of
the financial asset.
Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or
loss.
Debt instruments
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows,
where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are
measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is
included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain
or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and
presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and
losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the
statement of profit or loss.
d) Impairment
The Group assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses
associated with any debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment
methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in
credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach
permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised
from initial recognition of the receivables.
2.20. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held on call,
together with other short term highly liquid investments which are not subject
to significant changes in value and have original maturities of less than three
months. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on
the Statement of Financial Position.
2.21. Related parties
a) A person, or a close member of that person's family, is related to GVMH
PLC and its subsidiaries if that person:
(i) has control or joint control over GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries;
(ii) has significant influence over GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries; or
(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of GVMH PLC and its
subsidiaries or GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries' parent.
b) An entity is related to GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries if any of the
following conditions applies:
(i) The entity and GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries are members of the same
GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries (which means that each parent, subsidiary and
fellow subsidiary is related to the others).
(ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an
associate or joint venture of a member of a GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries of
which the other entity is a member).
(iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.
(iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is
an associate of the third entity.
(v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of
employees of either GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries or an entity related to GVMH
PLC and its subsidiaries.
(vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in
(a).
(vii) A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity
or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of
the entity).
(viii) The entity, or any member of a GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries of which it
is a part, provides key management personnel services to GVMH PLC and its
subsidiaries or to GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries' parent
Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be
expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with
the entity.
Operating leases
All leases are treated as operating leases. Where the Group is a lessee,
payments on operating lease agreements are recognised as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as maintenance
and insurance, are expensed as incurred.
2.22. Segmental analysis
In the opinion of the directors, the group has one class of business being
social media advertising. The groups primary reporting format is determined by
geographical segment. There is currently only one geographical reporting
segment which is People's Republic of China.
3. Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial information in conformity with IFRS requires the
use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Directors to
exercise their judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies
which are detailed above. These judgements are continually evaluated by the
Directors and management and are based on historical experience and other
factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances.
The key estimates and underlying assumptions concerning the future and other
key sources of estimation uncertainty at the statement of financial position
date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are
reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only
that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the
revision affects both current and future periods.
The estimates and judgements which have a significant risk of causing a
material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, as well
as the recognition of revenue, within the next financial year are discussed
below:
* Recognising appropriate revenue in line with performance obligations
Management identifies the performance obligations associated with each contract
and then exercises judgement to establish an appropriate percentage of the
total transaction price to recognise once each identified performance
obligation is successfully completed.
* Useful lives of depreciable assets
Management reviews the useful lives and residual value of depreciable assets at
each reporting date to ensure that the useful lives represent a reasonable
estimate of likely period of benefit to the Group. Tangible fixed assets are
depreciated over their useful lives taking into account of residual values,
where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are
assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In
re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product
life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value
assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining
life of the asset and projected disposal values.

GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries' has not recognised deferred tax assets of
HK$3,029,159 in respect of accelerated depreciation over capital allowances. No
deferred tax asset has been recognised on the accumulated tax losses of
HK$18,358,540 as the availability of future taxable profits against which the
assets can be utilised is uncertain at 31 December 2019.
The tax losses can be carried forward to offset against the taxable profits of
subsequent years for up to five years from the year in which they were incurred

See note 25 for list of subsidiaries and their respective holdings.
The recoverable amount of the investments has been determined to be the value
in use of the cash flows generated from the continuing operations of the GVC
Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries. In performing this assessment,
management has applied the following assumptions and estimates:
· cash flows have been projected over a period of five years from 31
December 2019, which management considers appropriate due to the nature of its
advertising services and related returns;
· cash inflow projections reflect the following key assumptions:
· revenues from the continued performance of marketing and advertising
services for customers and commission revenues from new business ventures;
· revenues in the short to medium term are based on contracted amounts,
contracts currently in negotiation and estimates of services to be performed;
· for financial modelling purposes, it has been assumed that total revenue
increases to approximately HK$514 million for the five years to 2024;
· from year six onwards the revenue is assumed to remain constant at HK$38
million;
· cash outflows, which include contract delivery costs, operating expenses,
administrative expenses and capital spend are assumed to be consistent with
current experience;
· revenue and cost of sales from 2021 are forecasted for a year on year
growth of 5%, which is management's estimate of the average growth for the
principal geography in which the entity operates; and
· a pre-tax discount rate of 8% has been applied in discounting cash flows
to their present value, which has been benchmarked against available sources
for comparable companies and geographical location of GVC Holdings Limited.
Cash flow projections are most sensitive to the assumptions regarding:
· commission revenue from new contracts in completion;
· Changes to the level of panels currently in display at cinemas;
· Closing price for the panel per 2-week segments; and
· changes in the discount rate.
At 31 December 2019, there is limited headroom in respect of the carrying value
of the parent company's investment in GVC Holdings Limited. Should any of the
future events and cash flow assumptions upon which management has based its
value in use calculation not occur or change adversely, an impairment of the
investment in GVC Holdings Limited would be necessary.

16. Share based payments
The Group has a share ownership compensation scheme for Directors and Senior
employees of the Group. In accordance with the provisions of the plan,
Directors and Senior employees may be granted options to purchase ordinary
shares in the Company.
The company issued options on 12,000,000 ordinary shares on 19 June 2018. The
options vest annually over a 3 year period to 31 December 2020 and can be
exercised at 15p per share during this period. 8,000,000 options have vested as
at 31 December 2019.
The fair value of equity-based share options granted is estimated at the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model, taking into account the terms
and conditions upon which the options have been granted. The calculated fair
value of share options charged to the Group and Company financial statements in
the year is HK$ 1,319,827.
The following are the inputs to the model for the options granted during the
prior year:

As the shareholders' loan is unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand,
the directors assumes that the shareholder's loan is expected to repay in year
2020 and the available market interest rate for shareholder's loan of the same
kind is at the best landing rate in Hong Kong plus 1% per annum which is also
used to calculate the effective interest portion of such.

(b) Capital management
GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries' objective when managing capital are to safeguard

it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefit for other
stakeholders, and to provide an adequate return to shareholders.

capital structure, GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries' may adjust the amount of

GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and
market risk arising in the normal course of its business and financial
instruments. GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries' and GVMH PLC's risk management
objectives, policies and processes mainly focus on minimising the potential
adverse effects of these risks on its financial performance and position by
closely monitoring the individual exposure.
(a) Credit risk
GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk on financial assets,
mainly attributable to trade and other receivables. It sets credit limits on
each individual customer and prior approval is required for any transaction
exceeding that limit. The customer with sound payment history would accumulate
a higher credit limit. In addition, the overseas customers would normally be
required to transact with GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries' and GVMH PLC by letter
of credit in order to minimise GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries' credit risk
exposure.
At 31 December 2019, GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries has no concentration of risk
and the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount
of each financial asset.
(b) Liquidity risk
GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries is exposed to liquidity risk on financial
liabilities. It manages its funds conservatively by maintaining a comfortable
level of cash and cash equivalents in order to meet continuous operational
need. Various banking facilities and credit lines have also been arranged with
different banks in order to fund any emergency liquidity requirements.

(c) Interest rate risk
The Group has no exposure on fair value interest rate risk. It also has
exposure on cash flow interest rate risk which is mainly arising from its
deposits with banks.
GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries mainly holds fixed deposits with banks with
maturity within 3 months and the exposure is considered not significant. In
consequence, no material exposure on fair value interest rate risk is expected.
Even that, GVMH PLC closely monitors the fair value fluctuation of the
investments and disposes of them in case of significant increase in interest
rate is foreseen.
Sensitivity analysis
At 31 December 2019, if interest rates as that date had been 100 basis points
lower/higher with all other variables held constant, GVMH PLC loss for the year
would have been HK$80,427 (2018: HK$25,090) higher/lower.
(d) Currency risk
GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries purchases and sells in various foreign
currencies, mainly US dollars and RMB that expose it to currency risk arising
from such purchases and sales and the resulting receivables and the payables.
GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries closely and continuously monitors the exposure on
currency risk. Since HK dollars are pegged to US dollars, there is no
significant exposure expected on US dollars transactions and balances.
In respect of purchases and payables, GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries controls
its volume of purchase orders to a tolerable level and avoids concentrating the
purchases in a single foreign currency by diversifying such foreign currency
risk exposure.
In respect of sales and receivables, GVMH PLC and its subsidiaries sets a
prudent credit limit to individual customers who transact with it in other
foreign currencies. The directors' approval is required on the exposure to an
individual customer or transaction that exceeds the limit.
21. Leases liabilities
The Group has lease contracts for leasehold land and building used in its
operations. Lease of leasehold land and building generally have lease terms
between 2 to 3 years. The Group's obligations under its leases are secured by
the lessor's title to the lease asset. Generally, the Group is restricted from
assigning and subleasing the leased assets and some contracts require the Group
to maintain certain financial ratios. There are several lease contracts that
include extension and termination options and variable lease payments, which
are further discussed below.
The Group also has certain leases of leasehold land and building with lease
terms of 12 months or less. The Company applies the 'short-term lease'
recognition exemptions for these leases.
Set out below are the carrying amounts of lease liabilities and the movements
during the year:
Lease liabilities HK$'000
At 1 January 2019 310
New leases 1,734

The following are the amounts recognised in profit or loss:
HK$'000
Interest on lease liabilities 7
Depreciation of right-of-use assets 332
Expenses relating to short-term leases 953
Total amount recognised in profit or loss 1,292
The Group had total cash outflows for leases of HK$289,800 and has non-cash
additions to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of HK$ 1,733,804 for the
year.
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities
measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term.
The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed
payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that
depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual
value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a
purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments
of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Company
exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not
depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which
the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
