2. Basis of Preparation (a) The unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the disclosure requirements of The Listing Rules of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”). The unaudited condensed interim financial statements are set out on pages 50 to 72 and also include the “Financial Information Reviewed by Auditors” in the Financing section on pages 43 to 48. The financial information relating to the year ended 31st December 2021 that is included in this document as comparative information does not constitute the Company’s statutory annual consolidated financial statements for that year but is derived from those financial statements. The non-statutory accounts (within the meaning of section 436 of the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) (the “Ordinance”)) in this document are not specified financial statements (within such meaning). The specified financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2021 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong in accordance with section 664 of the Ordinance. The Company’s auditor has reported on those specified financial statements. That report was not qualified or otherwise modified, did not refer to any matter to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not contain a statement under section 406(2) or 407(2) or (3) of the Ordinance. The accounting policies and methods of computation and presentation used in the preparation of the condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those described in the 2021 annual financial statements except for those noted in 2(b) and 2(c) below. (b) The following revised standards were adopted by the Group effective from 1st January 2022: Accounting Guideline 5 (Revised) Merger Accounting for Common Control Combinations Annual improvements project Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2018-2020 Amendments to HKFRS 3, HKAS 16 and HKAS 37 Narrow-scope Amendments None of the revised standards had a significant effect on the Group’s financial statements or accounting policies. (c) The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements in conformity with HKFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgements in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Those areas involving a higher degree of judgements or complexity and areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Group’s consolidated financial statements are detailed in the 2021 annual financial statements. 57
