Commenting on the annual results, Mr. Lee Jin-Yi, CEO of Cathay

put in place to develop its core businesses and create a better
platform for stable growth has started to come into fruition, as

pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical businesses. Other areas of the
business are still working hard to improve their contribution and
cost effectiveness by improving processing techniques, modifying
and expanding production capacities and continuing to build
marketing and distribution networks.
"I am encouraged by the performance of the Group in the first
half of 2016 and had it not been for the devaluation of the RMB we
would have seen a modest increase in revenue compared to last year.
It is still clear that challenges lie ahead, but we believe the
Group's operations are gradually recovering from the setbacks
experienced over the past year and will enter into a new period of
growth over the short-to-medium term."

MANAGEMENT DICUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW
During the first half of 2016, the Group continued its strategy
to develop its core businesses (including pharmaceutical, plant
extract and healthcare, and cosmeceutical) with a view to building
a platform for stable growth. In the pharmaceutical business the
Group focused on expanding sales of its existing products whilst
also exploring markets for new products. In the plant extract and
healthcare business, the Group has realigned production capacities
and management structure to centralise the Group's resources for
business development and management. It has also been exploring
business opportunities in the downstream production and sales of
health and nutrition supplements. In the cosmeceutical business the
Group has started to establish marketing and sales networks for new
products.
Lansen
In the first half of the year, Lansen recorded sales of
USD49.3million, representing an increase of 2.2% over the same
period last year. Pharmaceutical product sales increased by 5.6% to
USD29.5 million, mainly derived from sales of Pafulin and MMF.
Sales of the leflunomide tablets branded "Hepai", the replacement
for "Tuoshu" since 2015, also recorded an increase in sales over
the same period last year. Other new products, such as Sicorten
plus and Bio-Rad diagnosis kits, are in the marketing promotions
phase.
Revenue from the cosmeceutical business increased by 244.1% to
USD13.2 million over the same period last year, mainly derived from
sales of Yuze skincare products, Comfy Collagen Dressing masks
(Kefumei) and Botai's Fillderm Collagen Injectable Fillers.
Fillderm also recorded initial stocking order sales from customers
ahead of market launch. Marketing efforts have been made to build
awareness of the Fillderm brand name, including product and brand
advertising, customer education and communications, organization of
academic seminars, sales team training and product marketing.
Revenue from the health product business (including plant
extract and healthcare products) amounted to USD6.56 million, a
decrease of 60.0% over the same period last year, as a result of
the strategic realignment in production capacity and management
structure of the plant extract business within the Group. As the
plant extract production capacity of Lansen was almost fully
utilized producing intermediary raw material for its specialty and
generic drugs, it did not have any capacity remaining to produce
any other plant extracts. As a result, Lansen made a subscription
in the Group's direct subsidiary Haotian and, through Haotian and
its subsidiary, in Yangling Dailyhealth's production facilities.
Lansen aims to build a healthcare and plant extract business with a
business and management structure totally independent of its
pharmaceutical business. The strategy to separate the plant extract
business and the pharmaceutical business into two independent
management structures will enable Lansen, and also the Group, to
strengthen its regulatory risk management.
Haizi
During the first half of 2016, Haizi's revenue decreased by
30.2% to USD4.2 million. This was mainly due to the continued low
average market price of inositol. Haizi continues to improve
quality of DCP and processing techniques to reduce production
costs. Haizi has started modification works at phytin plants to
improve phytin processing techniques which are expected to complete
at the end of 2016. In addition, Haizi is planning to build one or
two phytin factories to increase its phytin supply, which scale
effect will further lower the production costs of inositol.
Haotian/Yangling Dailyhealth
Revenue from Haotian/Yangling Dailyhealth dropped by 26.7% to
USD1.91 million compared to the same period last year mainly due to
the capacity expansion work during the period.
Lansen made a capital injection into Haotian representing the
Group's strategy to realign the product development and production
capacity of its healthcare and plant extract business. Haotian has
now become the only platform in which Lansen and Cathay are jointly
developing the healthcare and plant extract business to create
further synergies across the business.
Yangling Dailyhealth completed the capacity expansion for one of
its core products, bilberry extracts, in the second quarter of the
year and the annual production capacity for bilberry extracts has
increased from 26 tons to 59 tons. Yangling also completed
modification in its multifunctional production line and submitted
the GMP filing for ginkgo products at CFDA. Yangling Dailyhealth is
planning to produce a variety of plant extract products and is
exploring business opportunities in the downstream production and
sales of health and nutrition supplements.
Botai
Fillderm Collagen Injectable Fillers, the first cosmeceutical
product owned and produced by the Group, is manufactured by Botai
and exclusively distributed by Lansen. In the first half of the
year, Lansen continued to build a sales network for Fillderm and
promote marketing initiatives and achieve sales.
In order to prepare for the development of products for its
cosmeceutical business, the Group has put more efforts into product
research and development. Botai has entered into an entrusting
R&D agreement with Robustnique, a company with strong R&D
capabilities in Tianjin. Under the agreement, Robustnique was
entrusted to carry out R&D for a series of collagen products
for Botai, including the development of three collagen facial mask
products, the feasibility studies and preliminary biochemical
experiments for new types of injectable fillers, new types of
artificial blood vessel stents and styptic sponges. The R&D
effort is expected to enable the Group to diversify its product
range, enrich its product portfolio and fully utilise the Group's
vertical business chain structure in production, marketing and
sales.
Hotel Operations
During the period, room occupancy of the Hotel increased to
72.0% (2015 H1:68.5%) due to an increase in room sales to large
multinational corporate clients at preferential corporate rates and
average room rate was USD115 (2015 H1:USD129), resulting in a 6.3%
decrease in revenue per available room (RevPar) to USD82.8 (2015
H1:USD88.4).
Shenzhen Fuyuan Landmark Hotel will continue to promote its food
and beverage business and conduct staff training to increase
revenue and room occupancy rate.
Starry's IPO
On 9 March 2016, Starry successfully listed on the Shanghai
Stock Exchange (Stock Code 603520). Based on the closing price
(RMB52.98 per share) as at 30 June 2016, the market value of the
8.1% equity shares in Starry, effectively held by the Group through
its interest in Lansen, amounted to USD78.2 million.
Other Items
Both the litigation initiated by Shenzhen Neptunus
Pharmaceutical Company Limited against Ningbo Liwah and the legal
proceedings initiated by Lansen against the insurance company to
speed up the recovery of the flood damage are still in progress for
the time being.
Outlook
With the completion of marketing and distribution network
building for new products, the completion of processing technique
improvements and the commencement of modified and expanded
production capacities, it is expected that the business of the
Group's operations will gradually recover from the last year's
setbacks and enter into a new period of growth over the
short-to-medium term.

Group revenue was up by 4.8% in RMB terms when compared to last
year, however, taking into account the devaluation of the RMB by
6.6%, Group revenue decreased by USD1,106,000 (1.8%) to
USD61,050,000, of which Lansen sales increased by USD1,070,000 and
Haizi and Yangling's sales reduced by USD1,593,000 and USD120,000
respectively. Botai's sales of USD2,447,000 were included in Lansen
sales. The increase in Lansen's revenue was mainly due to growth in
Pafulin and the launch of the Collagen Injectable Fillers. Haizi's
lower sales resulted from the continued low market price of
inositol and Yangling's lower sales were mainly due to decreased
sales in inositol and bilberry products. The Hotel's revenue
decreased slightly during the period.
The Group's gross profit increased by USD6,947,000 (28.4%) to
USD31,407,000, of which Lansen's gross profit was up by
USD4,984,000 (20.8%). Haizi's gross loss was down USD42,000 and
Yangling's gross profit dropped by USD182,000 but Botai's gross
profit contributed USD1,875,000. The rise in gross profit was
primarily due to stocking orders of the Collagen Injectable Fillers
partly offset by the low market price of inositol at Haizi.
The Group's operating profit increased by USD3,063,000 (127.7%)
to USD5,462,000. Lansen's operating profit increased by USD299,000
(3.9%) to USD7,934,000; Haizi suffered an operating loss of
USD2,255,000 and Yangling increased its operating loss by
USD303,000 to USD588,000. Botai launched the Collagen Injectable
Fillers this year and recorded an operating profit of USD1,400,000.
Corporate overheads decreased by USD718,000 to USD2,219,000 mainly
due to the reversal of USD450,000 on share options lapsed in the
current period.
The Group's finance costs decreased by USD74,000 (1.8%) to
USD4,099,000, resulting from the reduced average interest rate at
4.2% p.a. (2015 H1: 4.3% p.a.), which was offset by the net
increase in the Group's bank borrowings described more fully
below.
The Group's after tax profit before non-controlling interests
for the period was USD706,000 (2015 H1: loss of USD1,256,000). The
Group's loss attributable to owners of the parent for the period
was USD1,928,000 (2015 H1: loss of USD4,266,000).
Gearing
The Group's net borrowings increased to USD155,508,000 compared
to USD149,083,000 as at 31 December 2015 for working capital
purposes. Net gearing increased to 84.8% (31 December 2015: 79.3%).
Out of the Group's net borrowings, Lansen's net borrowings was
USD69,515,000 compared to USD66,139,000 as at 31 December 2015.
Lansen's associated company, Zhejiang Starry Pharmaceutical Co.
Limited ("Starry") successfully listed on the Shanghai Stock
Exchange on 9 March 2016. Upon listing, the equity interest of
Lansen in Starry was diluted from 21.5% to 16.1%. Based on Starry's
closing price of RMB52.98 as at 30 June 2016, the market value of
Lansen's 16.1% share in Starry was approximately USD154.6 million.
Lansen's investment in Starry as at 30 June 2016 was recorded at
USD33.0 million under equity accounting on the balance sheet. In
the absence of equity accounting treatment, the increase in book
value of the investment in Starry to the Group would be
approximately USD61.5 million after minority interests.
Lansen
Lansen recorded a 2.2% (USD1,070,000) increase in revenue to
USD49,269,000 mainly due to the organic growth of Pafulin and the
launch of the Collagen Injectable Fillers under the name
"Fillderm". The product replacement process for leflunomide tablets
is still ongoing.
Sales of pharmaceutical products were up by 5.6% to
USD29,525,000, of which, Pafulin's sales grew by 6.4% to
USD20,943,000 and sales of MMF tablets were up by 35.3% to
USD2,552,000 (2015 H1 USD1,886,000). Bio-Rad's sales were
USD343,000. The imported drug licence for Sicorten Plus cream was
obtained in November 2015 so Lansen has ceased recording Sicorten
Plus cream as other income and will record such sales as revenue
when it is sold under the Lansen brand in late 2016. Generic drugs'
sales decreased by 9.6% to USD4,493,000, of which sales of
Bazhenkeli (for women's healthcare), included in the Chinese
essential drug list, decreased by 12.5% to USD2,576,000 (2015 H1:
USD2,944,000)
Sales of cosmeceutical products went up by 244.1% to
USD13,184,000 (2015 H1: USD3,830,000). This significant increase
was mainly due to the commencement of sales of Collagen Injectable
Fillers. At the same time, revenue from Comfy Collagen Dressing
mask (Kefumei) and Yuze brand skincare products also increased
significantly.
Sales of health products (including plant extract and healthcare
products) were USD6,559,000 (2015 H1: USD16,400,000). This decrease
was due to the strategic realignment in production capacity and
management structure of the plant extract business within the
Group.
In total, Lansen's gross profit increased by 20.8% to
USD28,991,000 (2015 H1: USD24,007,000). There was an increase in
overall gross margin to 58.8% (2015 H1: 49.8%) due to the
improvement in gross margin of pharmaceutical drugs to 68.9% (2015
H1: 66.1%) and cosmeceutical products to 55.9% (2015 H1: 42.7%).
Although the selling price of Pafulin has been decreasing in
certain territories, the decrease in production costs was more than
enough to offset the price drop. Gross margin of healthcare
products dropped to 19.2% (2015 H1: 23.8%). The overall increase in
gross margin was due to higher proportion of sales from the higher
margin pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical products, while the sales
proportion of healthcare products, which have a lower gross profit
margin, decreased to 13.3 % (2015 H1: 34.0%).
Lansen's operating profit rose by 3.9% to USD7,934,000 (2015 H1:
USD7,635,000). Operating profit margin was 16.1% (2015 H1: 15.8%).
The increase in the operating margin was less than that of the
gross profit margin as Lansen incurred higher selling and
distribution expenses to develop new products such as the Bio-rad
diagnostic kits and Collagen Injectable Fillers. As a result, it
rose to 29.3% of revenue (2015 H1: 26.1%).
Lansen's 16.1% owned associate, Zhejiang Starry Pharmaceutical
Co. Limited ("Starry"), decreased its profit contribution to
USD1,062,000 (2015 H1: USD1,342,000).
Lansen's profit before non-controlling interests decreased by
12.3% to USD5,642,000 (2015 H1: USD6,433,000) was due to a one-off
tax reversal adjustment in last interim for overpaid tax in 2014 at
its subsidiary, Ningbo Liwah Plant Extraction Technology Limited.
No such adjustment occurred in 2016 H1.
The insurance claim relating to Lansen's inventories of
USD4,272,000, written off due to flood damage, is still ongoing.
Lansen will record the claim proceeds as other income when the
amount is finalized with the insurance company.
In March 2016, Lansen entered into a subscription agreement to
subscribe for an equity interest of approximately 19.1% in Haotian
Holdings Limited ("Haotian"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, at a consideration of RMB33,000,000 (approximately
USD4,950,000). The amount was settled in June 2016. Lansen also
made a further subscription under the terms of the agreement in
Haotian in August 2016, owning in aggregate 30.0% of Haotian. Under
the agreement, at any time during the period of three months
commencing immediately after the second anniversary of signing of
the subscription agreement, Lansen is entitled to exercise a put
option to require Haotian to purchase all (but not part) of the
subscription shares then held by Lansen at the subscription price
paid by Lansen plus interest calculated at one year Hong Kong fixed
deposit interest rate.
No provision was made during the period for the potential
litigation claim faced by Ningbo Liwah, which was announced after
the interim results date on 6 July 2015. For the reasons given in
note 6 to these interim financial statements, no subsequent
provision has been made.
Haizi
During the period, Haizi recorded revenue of USD4,179,000 (2015
H1: USD5,985,000) from sales of inositol and DCP. Haizi produced
626 tonnes (2015 H1: 592 tonnes) and 3,268 tonnes (2015 H1: 3,445
tonnes) of inositol and feed grade DCP, respectively, and sold a
total of 617 tonnes (2015 H1: 611 tonnes) of inositol and 2,325
tonnes (2015 H1: 5,597 tonnes) of feed grade DCP, respectively. The
average selling price of inositol was approximately USD6.8 per kg
(2015 H1: USD8.6 per kg) during the period as a result of the low
market price of inositol and devaluation of RMB.
Haizi's gross loss was USD948,000 (2015 H1: gross loss of
USD990,000) and its gross margin was -22.7% (2015 H1: -16.5%),
primarily due to the low production and sales volume and low
inositol market selling price. Haizi's operating loss was
USD2,255,000 (2015 H1: loss of USD2,489,000) and its net loss was
USD2,560,000 (2015 H1: loss of USD2,899,000).
In order to reduce the unit production cost of inositol, Haizi
is working on improving its output efficiency of phytin, decreasing
its consumption of ancillary raw materials and modifying its
processes to produce higher quality DCP. In addition, Haizi is
planning to build one or two phytin factories to increase its
phytin supply and inositol production volume, which scale effect
will further lower the production costs of inositol.
Yangling
Yangling's revenue, primarily consisting of agency sales of part
of Haizi's inositol, bilberry extracts and ginseng extracts,
decreased by 26.7% to USD1,907,000 (2015 H1: USD2,602,000) mainly
due to lower selling prices of inositol. It achieved a gross profit
of USD397,000 (2015 H1: USD579,000).
In the first half of 2016, Yangling and Lansen entered into a
subscription agreement. As a result, it is expected that certain,
non-GMP, plant extract products will be produced at Yangling's
facilities commencing during the second half of 2016. The key
products include bilberry, Choline Glycerophosphate (which helps
brain development), and Gingko extracts.
Botai
Botai signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Lansen in
June 2015 to sell its Collagen Injectable Fillers via Lansen.
Botai's revenue in the first half was USD2,447,000 (2015 H1:
nil).
Botai's gross profit was USD1,875,000 and its margin was 76.6%.
The operating profit was USD1,400,000 (2015 H1: loss of
USD318,000).
Botai aims to develop "Fillderm" into a leading and reliable
anti-aging cosmetic collagen injection brand in the PRC. Lansen
will continue to hold campaigns to promote the product and make it
known to cosmetic consumers, beauty consultants and doctors and
Botai and Lansen are exploring marketing alternatives for the
Collagen Injectable Fillers.
Hotel Operations
Hotel revenue dropped by 6.6% to USD6,506,000 (2015 H1:
USD6,969,000) mainly due to the devaluation of RMB. There was no
significant change in the Lowu market during the period. The
Hotel's average room rate decreased to USD115 (2015 H1: USD129)
because of an increase in room sales to large multinational
corporate clients at preferential corporate rates. Room occupancy
went up to 72.0% (2015 H1: 68.5%).
The Hotel's food and beverage sales decreased by 9.1% to
USD1,828,000 (2015 H1: USD2,010,000), mainly due to a decrease in
its banqueting business.
The Hotel's operating profit was USD935,000 (2015 H1:
USD1,072,000) mainly because of lower food and beverage operating
sales.
The Hotel is currently ranked seventh amongst 2,328 hotels in
Shenzhen by Tripadvisor, reflecting customer satisfaction of the
Hotel's high quality service. The Hotel will continue its strategy
of maintaining high quality service through extensive staff
training and aims to grow in both the business and transient
segments.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements (the "Interim Financial Statements") of Cathay
International Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries
(hereafter collectively known as the "Group") for the six months
ended 30 June 2016 have been prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial
Reporting" issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(the "IASB").
The Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the
information required in annual financial statements in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") (which
collective term includes all applicable individual International
Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations as approved by
the IASB, and all applicable individual International Accounting
Standards and Interpretations as originated by the Board of the
International Accounting Standards Committee and adopted by the
IASB), and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial
statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015. The
Interim Financial Statements are neither audited nor reviewed by
the Group's auditor.
Save as described in note 2 "Adoption of new and revised IFRSs",
which are effective for the Group's financial year beginning on 1
January 2016, the accounting policies adopted in the Interim
Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the
preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2015.
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared under the
historical cost basis except for the hotel properties and certain
financial liabilities that are measured at fair values.
During the reporting period, the Group has incurred a profit of
USD706,000 and at the end of reporting period, its current
liabilities exceeded its current assets by USD30,066,000. The
Interim Financial Statements have been prepared based on the
assumption that the Group can be operated as a going concern and
will have sufficient working capital to finance its operation in
the next twelve months from 30 June 2016.
As in the past, the Group will start negotiation with the
relevant banks on extension or renewal of the bank borrowings a few
months prior to their respective maturities and obtain the
approvals from the relevant banks before their respective
maturities. Notwithstanding the operating cash flow from certain of
its subsidiaries, as at the end of the reporting period, the Group
has commenced discussions with a few banks and received indicative
term sheets for the purpose of working capital. The Group does not
foresee that the bank borrowings will not be renewed or extended
before maturity. The Group is also exploring options to secure long
term funding, including debt and/or equity, to refinance part of
the bank borrowings. Accordingly, the Group should be able to meet
in full its financial obligations as and when they fall due for the
next twelve months from 30 June 2016 without significant
curtailment of operations and the Directors are satisfied that it
is appropriate to prepare the Interim Financial Statements on a
going concern basis.
Should the Group be unable to continue in business as going
concern, adjustments would have to be made to the Interim Financial
Statements accordingly.
2. ADOPTION OF NEW OR REVISED IFRSs
In the current interim period, the Group has applied, for the
first time, the following new interpretations and amendments to
IFRSs issued by the IASB that are relevant for the preparation of
the Group's Interim Financial Statements.
- IFRSs (Amendments), Annual Improvements 2012-2014 Cycle
- Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of financial statements:
Disclosure Initiative
The application of the above new or revised IFRSs in the current
interim period has no material effect on the amounts reported in
these Interim Financial Statements and/or disclosures set out in
these Interim Financial Statements.

5. LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO OWNERS OF THE PARENT
The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share
attributable to the owners of the Company are based on the
following data:

For the period ended 30 June 2016, the computation of diluted
loss per share does not include the 4,523,842 Common Shares (six
months ended 30 June 2015: 3,184,706 Common Shares) contingently
issuable to Mr. Lee Jin-Yi, as the conditions for their issue were
not met throughout the period.
For the period ended 30 June 2016, the computation of diluted
loss per share did not assume the incremental shares from
outstanding share options because the share options have
anti-dilutive effect.
6. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
On 6 July 2015, the Company announced that its subsidiary,
Lansen Pharmaceutical Holdings Limited ("Lansen"), made a
regulatory announcement regarding the legal proceedings (the
"Litigation") initiated by Shenzhen Neptunus Biological Engineering
Company Limited (the "Claimant") against Lansen's subsidiary,
Ningbo Liwah Pharmaceutical Company Limited ("Ningbo Liwah"). On 24
August 2015, Ningbo Liwah has received the writ in relation to the
Litigation. In the Litigation, the Claimant alleged that it had
suffered several losses due to the use of ginkgo extract supplied
by Ningbo Liwah in the Claimant's products. The Claimant is
therefore seeking damages of approximately RMB70 million
(approximately USD10.7 million as of 30 June 2016) from Ningbo
Liwah, as well as relevant legal fees. Lansen has sought a
preliminary opinion on the Litigation from its legal counsel in the
PRC, who, based on the information available, is of the opinion
that the amount claimed by the Claimant is highly disputable. As
Lansen and, therefore, the Group are not able to assess reliably
the amount of provision, the Group has not made any provision
against this Litigation. Lansen will, in accordance with the
applicable laws, make every effort to protect its interests and its
shareholders' interests, actively respond to the case and defend
its position vigorously. The Company will inform shareholders of
any material developments or notify the market when Lansen makes an
announcement relevant to the Litigation.
