BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Adhering to the positioning as an innovation-driven consumer group, the Group has been actively solidifying its foothold in three major businesses, namely Health, Happiness and Wealth. Faced with the huge impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the Group has quickly responded, actively invested in vaccine research and development ("R&D") cooperation, and turned the disadvantaged situation into opportunities through digital, online and family-oriented strategies. The results are promising and gradually improving, revitalizing ourselves from the China business to the international business.
Health Business The Group’s Health business focuses on innovation-driven pharmaceutical manufacturing and health services ecosystem and adheres to the "4 IN" (innovation, internationalization, integration and intelligentization) strategies.

As of 30 June 2020, Peak Reinsurance’s total investment return was 0.7% (not annualized) with investable assets and net assets at USD2.0 billion and USD1.1 billion, respectively.

The balance of the government-secured loans provided by BCP as at the end of the Reporting Period amounted to approximately EUR2 billion and were made available to more than 12,500 companies, which has significantly reinforced BCP’s ties with customer corporations and put it at the forefront in supporting the economy.

BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION The interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (the "Period") has been prepared in accordance with HKAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019. The financial information relating to the year ended 31 December 2019 that is included in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as comparative information does not constitute the Company’s statutory annual consolidated financial statements for that year but is derived from those financial statements. Further information relating to those statutory financial statements required to be disclosed in accordance with section 436 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance is as follows: The Company has delivered the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 to the Registrar of Companies as required by section 662(3) of, and Part 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The Company’s auditors have reported on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019. The auditor’s report was unqualified; and did not contain a statement under sections 406(2), 407(2) or 407(3) of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. 1.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for the adoption of the following revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") for the first time for the current period’s financial information. Amendments to HKFRS 3 Definition of a Business Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Amendment to HKFRS 16 COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions (early adopted) Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8 Definition of Material The nature and impact of the revised HKFRSs are described below:

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING (continued) 1.
2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (a) Amendments to HKFRS
3 clarify and provide additional guidance on the definition of a business. The amendments clarify that for an integrated set of activities and assets to be considered a business, it must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. A business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs.
The amendments remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of acquiring the business and continue to produce outputs. Instead, the focus is on whether acquired inputs and acquired substantive processes together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The amendments have also narrowed the definition of outputs to focus on goods or services provided to customers, investment income or other income from ordinary activities. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance to assess whether an acquired process is substantive and introduce an optional fair value concentration test to permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The Group has applied the amendments prospectively to transactions or other events that occurred on or after 1 January 2020. The amendments did not have any significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Group. (b) Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7 address the effects of interbank offered rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which enable hedge accounting to continue during the Period of uncertainty before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark. In addition, the amendments require companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties. The amendments did not have any significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.

2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (c) Amendment to HKFRS 16 provides a practical expedient for lessees to elect not to apply lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and only if
(i) the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;
(ii) any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and
(iii) there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. The amendment is effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020 with earlier application permitted. During the six months ended 30 June 2020, certain monthly lease payments for the leases of the Group’s office buildings and retail stores have been reduced, waived or deferred by the lessors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and there are no other changes to the terms of the leases. The Group has early adopted the amendment on 1 January 2020 and elected not to apply lease modification accounting for all rent concessions granted by the lessors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, a reduction in the lease payments arising from the rent concessions of RMB75,720,000 has been accounted for as a variable lease payment by derecognising part of the lease liabilities and crediting to profit or loss for the period ended 30 June 2020. (d) Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8 provide a new definition of material. The new definition states that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information. The amendments did not have any significant impact on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial information.
