Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman) Ltd. 04 HONOURS AND AWARDS
2020 Annual Report 05 CHAIRMAN STATEMENT Dear Shareholders, On behalf of the board (the “Board”) of directors (the “Directors”) of Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman) Ltd. (“Xinyuan Service” or the
“Company”), I am pleased to present the audited consolidated annual results of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the “Year”), and share with you our plans for future development. 2020
marks the year of China’s successful establishment of a prosperous society and the final year of the 13th Five-Year Plan. For property enterprises, it was a year where we battled the pandemic; for the property management industry, it was also a
critical year to establish our capabilities. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pandemic had a significant impact on the general macro-economic development. Nonetheless, it allowed the properties industry to demonstrate extensively its value,
with its nature as an auxiliary public services provider becoming fully evident. The industry is also facing an optimistic macro policy environment for development. During the fight against the pandemic, our entire staff fought against adversity,
contributing efforts to battle the virus, securing the resumption of work and production as well as fighting poverty, which allowed the rediscovery of the professional value of property management. Besides fulfilling our social responsibility and
demonstrating service value, we also managed to promote rapid and robust growth of the Company’s business. RESULTS REVIEW During the Year, the Group recorded operating revenue of RMB653.7 million, representing an increase of approximately 22.4% as
compared to RMB534.0 million in 2019. Adjusted net profit was approximately RMB131.9 million, an increase of approximately 61.1% over approximately RMB81.9 million in 2019. As of 31 December 2020, the Group’s property management services had
contracted GFA of approximately 53.0 million sq.m., representing an increase of 43.2% as compared to 37.0 million sq.m. at the end of 2019. GFA under management was approximately 34.7 million sq.m., representing an increase of 72.8% as compared to
20.1 million sq.m. at the end of 2019. There were 176 projects managed, covering 45 cities in China and serving over 220,000 owners with quality property management services. Over the years, the Group has consistently been ranked among the Top 100
Property Management Companies of China and we were recognised by China Property Management Research Institution, Shanghai E-House China R&D Institute and China Real Estate Appraisal Centre as a 2020 Featured Brand of Property Management
Service, 2020 Top 10 Branded Property Management Companies in Central China, and 2020 Leading Companies in Residential Property Service, further enhancing the Group’s brand and social influence.
Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman) Ltd. 06 CHAIRMAN STATEMENT The Group maintains a mutually complementary business cooperation relationship with the Company’s controlling shareholder, Xinyuan Real Estate
Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (excluding the Group, collectively “Xinyuan Real Estate Group”). We provide a wide range of services to Xinyuan Real Estate Group, which traditionally includes the provision of property management services,
value-added services and pre-delivery and consultation services to residential properties, integrated properties, and industrial parks developed by Xinyuan Real Estate Group; on top of which, we have established a new area of cooperation with
Xinyuan Real Estate Group to develop an asset sales cooperation business, which involves formulating an integrated stock asset movement system consisting of pre-planning, marketing and promotion, sales agency and postmanagement services. In 2020,
we entered into a car parking space sales cooperation agreement with Xinyuan Real Estate with a value of 207 million. Meanwhile, we maintained our cooperation with Xinyuan Real Estate Group’s technology companies, which provided technological
support in terms of businessfinancial integration, blockchain, artificial intelligence and informatisation, enabling us to implement property informatisation and build community platforms. During 2020, the Group continued to intensify efforts in
expanding the third-parties market through different channels, including comprehensive engagement, merger and acquisition of equity, and equity cooperation, and managed to achieve significant success. For comprehensive engagement, in terms of
regional coverage, we maintained efforts to deepen our business in the Henan market, while managing to make breakthroughs in various other regions such as Shaanxi and Jiangsu; in terms of project type, we continued to expand from newly developed
properties to existing properties, adding 3.6 million sq.m. of contracted GFA for comprehensive engagement during the year. For merger and acquisition of equity, we completed the acquisition of equity in Chongqing Hongqi Properties, adding 10.6
million sq.m. of GFA under management and industrial park management to our business portfolio. For equity cooperation, we managed to create a new model of cooperation with state-owned enterprises while having a controllingminority interest, as we
secured cooperation with Henan Investment Group and Hebei Hangang Group, which covers business types including residences, hospitals and schools, adding 1.5 million sq.m. of contracted GFA. Besides expanding businesses types and increasing scale,
the Group also extended our business chain and external cooperation. During 2020, we participated in government urban redevelopment plans, establishing an integrated construction-management old district redevelopment model and securing contracts
for redevelopment works of 17.2 million for the year. For rental housing, we entered into a cooperation agreement with CCBC Zhengzhou for comprehensive cooperation through several models such as business cooperation, development and operation, and
engagement operation.
2020 Annual Report 07 CHAIRMAN STATEMENT PROMOTING DIGITALISATION DEVELOPMENT DURING THE YEAR The Group remains committed to digitalisation and smart development. In 2020, we commenced a plan for comprehensive informatisation development in
six major areas of our operations, calling for “Xin-talents, Xin-services, Xin-assets, Xin-strategy, Xin-financial, Xin-business”, based on three major platforms of “Web portal platform, hardware platform, data platform”. We have established the
hardware platform and web portal platform, a business-financial integrated platform, as well as the core budget and expense system. We also obtained copyright to 4 software programs, further boosting our internal digitalised management
capability. In terms of smart community development, the Group is planning the development of Smart Community 4.0, which is an upgrade to our Smart Community 1.0–3.0. We will focus on two key core areas, namely user experience of owners and
background data support, as the basis for comprehensive upgrades with video AI technology, operational IoT and core smart scenarios, and building comprehensive information-things integration capability, so as to make constant functional
improvements in our management and service offerings. Implementation of digitalisation development has been effective in promoting business improvement. During the year, per capita management area increased by 7%, per capita net profit increased
by 40%, unit area output increased by 11%, and per capita management area increased by 18%. PAN-PROPERTIES INDUSTRY ECOSYSTEM The Group has strengthened its presence both upstream and downstream as well as in peripheral services of the industry
chain, as we continue to expand business coverage. Currently, the Group has established 12 businesses and 9 professional companies, and our industry coverage surrounding the three main aspects of asset management, home living services and
professional services is beginning to mature. For asset management, the Group intensified development focusing on two major operations of stock housing and stock assets. In terms of housing operations, the Group’s Henan Qingning Apartments
developed new channels of financing and scale expansion, raising operation efficiency with 35% improvement in personnel costs and 23% improvement in personnel efficiency. Shengjia Apartments entered into a strategic cooperation with CCBC
Zhengzhou, launching an all-in-one (construction, management, operation and financing) rental housing model allowing us to operate an integrated business for rental apartments. In terms of stock assets, we worked with Xinyuan Group and
third-party developers to establish a comprehensive system covering “pre-planning, marketing and promotion, renovation and remodeling, sales agency, and post-management services” of stock assets, in order to enhance integration and movement of
stock assets.
Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman) Ltd. 08 CHAIRMAN STATEMENT For home living services, we focused on living and service experience. We launched a wide range of businesses including domestic help service, indoor facilities and
equipment maintenance, old housing facilities and equipment refurbishment, new housing renovation, ready-to-live and green energy services. During the pandemic, our Xiaoxin Best Choice Mall* () offered contactless delivery of groceries and
comprehensive range of daily necessities, which not only expanded our business scope, but also demonstrated our company’s service value. Meanwhile, our Conbow Cloud Housekeeper* () platform, in collaboration with other platforms including 58,
Pinduoduo and JD.com, allowed us to attract traffic and transform traffic into value. In terms of professional services, we focused on comprehensive development of businesses such as smart upgrade works, elevator maintenance, landscaping works,
cultural services and event organisation. We are making gradual progress in our foray into the professional services market, in particular, Yingsheng M&E undertook 13 internal and external projects for smart upgrading and fire safety remodeling
works, while Gechen Culture achieved breakthrough with sales venue “warm-up” services. PROPOSED FINAL DIVIDEND The Board considers that the Group achieved excellent operational and financial performance for the year. Having always believed that the
success of our growth should be shared with our shareholders through dividends, and considering that the Group will have sufficient funds for its operational and investment needs in the foreseeable future, the Board accordingly proposed the payment
of a final dividend of HK10.2 cents per ordinary share of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020. PROSPECTS The nature of the properties industry as an auxiliary public services provider became fully evident in 2020 and the status of its
development has become more certain. From the 14th Five-Year Plan to policy notices from different departments and committees, the significance of the properties industry to the national economy and people’s livelihood has been affirmed. Properties
enterprises are set to enter a golden age of development, as they will play an increasingly important role in the governance of grassroots society and community livelihood services, expanding into broader sectors with greater development
opportunities. The Group has always strived to be a leading intelligent operator of pan-property industry, committed to providing better quality service experiences and comprehensive service products to customers at large. We will leverage our
strengths in management and branding to achieve sustained business scale and profitability growth. Based on our positioning as a “leading pan-properties, pan industries smart business” and our focus on three major development directions of
Xin-properties, Xin-industries and Xin-technology, we have formulated a scale-driven, technology-empowered and financial-ecosystem three-dimensional development model, with a development map of “1+4+N” consisting of 1 region leadership (Central
China), 4 region deep cultivation (YRD, PRD, BER, WTEZ), and N strategic positions, and through implementing seven major strategic initiatives of scale expansion, business optimisation, quality and efficiency improvement, value addition and
potential exploration, industry cultivation, technology empowerment and financial ecosystem, we aim to leap from a third-tier enterprise to a first-tier enterprise in three to five years’ time.
2020 Annual Report 09 CHAIRMAN STATEMENT We will continue to develop the Company’s development track with scale, technology and financial aspects acting together to promote development. Scale will be the main driving force. We aim to leap from
a third-tier enterprise to a first-tier enterprise and maintain a growth rate comparable to the average rate recorded by leading public companies, while, regional development will be intensified, in order to achieve an advantage with concentrated
resources, and drive the formation of industrial, technological and financial ecosystems. Technology will be an auxiliary empowering force. Based on the demands from our businesses, we will develop technology to empower our businesses. From
internal application, we will establish new development models, providing us with core technology, team and planning advantages. We will also gradually expand from internal application to driving industries externally, and progressively develop
towards an internet of industries. Financial ecosystem will be a gluing force. Leveraging our ability to obtain financing as a listed company, we will consider the use of financing to empower development of scale and business growth. Our
development of industrial coverage will fully integrate financial considerations and account for the construction of a financial ecosystem, ultimately forming an integrated industrial-financial development model. In the next three years, we plan
to maintain focus on properties as our main line, and endeavour to succeed in establishing Xin-properties, Xin-industries and Xin-technology. For Xin-properties, we will focus on four major themes of scale expansion, business optimisation,
management intensification value addition and potential exploration, and make sustained improvements on our services by offering products for living spaces, systematising management of non-living spaces, and creating management models for urban
spaces. For Xin-industries, we will take a three-step approach based on industrial coverage, establishing models and development of scale, in order to establish a large business scale and ideal business model. For Xin-technology, we will focus on
three major themes of business integration, ecosystem construction and value output. From driving internal development to industry development, and from supporting our business to developing independently, we hope that this will gradually become
a new growth pole for our business development. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend my gratitude to our shareholders, business partners and customers for their trust and support, and to all staff members and the
management team of the Company for their hard work. Building on our achievements, we will continue to strive for greater success. We will focus closely on customer experience and senses, and to enhance our service system and capability, in order
to provide more customers with better quality services. ZHANG Yong Chairman and non-executive Director * For identification purposes only

and nonresidential properties (such as commercial offices, office buildings, commercial complexes, industrial parks, etc.). The Group continued to grow new operations and development capability. In 2020, the Group acquired 100% equity interest

expanded towards new businesses in old district redevelopment, smart construction, and asset co-sales, and continued to cultivate new operation and development capabilities. As our business continued to develop and grow, we maintained our “6S
Service Standard” and our goal of providing services with “high cost performance, great service experience, high satisfaction”. The Group continues to innovate in its service content and service system. In 2020, as the Group continued to
respond to demand for four major types of property services – community living services, industrial park commercial and office services, government public services, and urban public services, it further established “Harmony, Integration,
Security, Joy” as four major service systems, for the continued optimisation and enrichment of its service system and service brand and continued enhancement of basic service quality and customer service experience.

2020 Annual Report 15 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Robust and high quality growth of scale The Group has always maintained a robust and high quality growth strategy in expansion of scale, and has developed its own unique and characteristic
model of expansion of scale. 1. Comprehensive engagement: The Group mainly cooperates with third party developers who engage the Group during the project planning and marketing stages to provide support for marketing and property branding, as well
as operations and management of the property projects in the later stages. The Group is able to achieve zero costs with this development model and generate income from providing branding support to the developer. The Group’s involvement begins at
the project planning and marketing stages, which ensures the effectiveness of operations and management of the property projects in the later stages. The Group demonstrates its strength with signature projects in various locations to attract more
cooperation opportunities with third party developers to establish a positive cycle. Generally, contracted GFA will become GFA under management within 2–3 years. The Group made regional progress on multiple fronts in 2020. Besides focusing on the
Henan region, the Group also signed agreements to provide services to Xi’an Taiheju* (), Yancheng Huafang Literati Territory* (), and Sanya Senior Talent Apartment* (). Other than new properties, we also actively sought cooperation with developers
on old properties, and with owners’ committees on their properties, such as our agreement to provide services to Zhengzhou Civil Aviation Garden* (). 2. Merger and acquisition of equity: The Group maintained a cautious approach towards merger and
acquisition, mainly seeking companies with state ownership background or with positive operating efficiency in the market as targets for merger and acquisition. In 2020, the Group signed an agreement to acquire Chongqing Hongqi Properties, which
not only increased Xinyuan Property’s GFA under management by 10.6 million sq.m., but also diversified its industrial park property operation type. 3. Cooperation with state-owned enterprises, controlling-minority interest: The Group actively
participates in state-owned enterprises utilities-property reform and pilot equity cooperation with state-owned enterprises in various locations. Equity participation allows the Group to optimise resource allocation with state-owned enterprises.

DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS The Group’s strategy for the next three to five years will be expansion of scale, increase in density, focus on segments, and adjustment of structure, based on five cores of accelerating business scale, upgrading services,
optimising operation type, extension of industry, and empowerment through technology. Based on our position as a leading intelligent operator of pan-property industry, we aim to realise quality growth through key measures such as quality
operations, expansion of scale, organisation innovation, technological development, and enhancement of capability, which will form three major development pillars, “Xinproperty”, “Xin-industry”, and “Xin-technology”. I) Continuous expansion of
management scale The Group’s strategy will focus on two aspects, to increase regional density and to expand national coverage. Geographically, the Group will remain focused on Central China while developing its presence in the Yangtze River Delta,
Pearl River Delta, Bohai Economic Rim and Greater Southwest, increasing regional density and strengthening regional presence, driving the Group’s development across the country through enhanced regional impact.
2020 Annual Report 21 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 1. Developing a 1+4+N strategy model for increasing regional coverage “1 region leadership”, referring to intense consolidation of local market position in the Group’s core location in
Henan and Central China; “4 region deep cultivation”, referring to further expansion of Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Bohai Economic Rim and Greater Southwest to optimise nationwide coverage, and “N strategic opportunities”, referring
to focus on regions with established presence, and select quality projects in expanding across the country. 2. Focus on three major expansion channels of comprehensive engagement, merger and acquisition, and cooperation with state-owned
enterprises, continuing to innovate in expansion models Comprehensive engagement is based on intensive regional development. The Group will be expanding its scope from cooperating with developers on new developments to cooperating with owners’
committees on existing developments, maintaining robust annual growth in comprehensive engagement numbers and strengthening the quality and foundation for growth of scale. For merger and acquisition of equity, the Group is establishing different
merger and acquisition policies for different regions. The current policy for the five major development regions focus on increasing management density, with a stronger concern for integrating local resources and management effect of scale; for
other regions, the focus is on strategic coverage with comprehensive assessment on project scale, numbers, operation types, and operating revenue, and merger and acquisition of equity to promote accelerated expansion of scale. With respect to
cooperation with state-owned enterprises, the Group broadly participates in state-owned enterprise reform and utilities-property management and complements advantages in quality resources with state-owned enterprises. The Group will also leverage
its ability to provide industry-chain services to gradually achieve a business model based on having controlling-minority interest, and explore new blue oceans in growing the scale of our business. Meanwhile, the Group will consider market
conditions and the position of our partners as a whole to actively design new models of cooperation, such as platform cooperation, and to expand into new areas, such as taking over urban redevelopment projects. Through effective sharing of the
Group’s capital advantage, technology advantage, management advantage, team advantage and our partners’ resource advantage, the Group will seek to build a new win-win business ecology.
Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman) Ltd. 22 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS II) Continuous optimisation of operation type coverage, continuous business expansion The Group will develop a “3+1+N” business development model by
integrating its own resource and capacity advantages to extend its business and industry centered around living space, non-living space and urban space: “3” refers to the three major spaces of living space, non-living space and urban space: The
Group’s acquisition of Chongqing Hongqi Property in 2020 effectively expanded our operation types in property management of industrial parks. Currently, the Group has established a preliminary coverage of living space, non-living space and
urban space. For the next three to five years, the Group will continue to actively expand into operation types such as office properties, industrial parks, and will also extend its services from its current participation in urban redevelopment
to offering urban special services. The Group will continue to strengthen its coverage around the three major spaces, in order to optimise its operation type structure and revenue structure. “1” refers to the unified value-added services
coverage: Based on the living, working, and services needs of our customers, the Group effectively integrates offline property service advantages with an online service platform to offer value-added services in areas such as community living,
park services, and daily business activities. The Group will continue to gradually expand from living services, professional services, housing services, asset management services in living spaces, to asset management, business support in
non-living spaces and public services in urban spaces. “N” refers to coverage across various industries, developing new growth lines and new segments: The Group will expand its industrial coverage based on upstream and downstream of the
property management industry chain and peripheral living needs. Currently, the Group has widespread coverage over areas such as preliminary engineering construction, smart community construction, old district redevelopment, long-term apartment
rental, housekeeping, professional companies, cultural industries and community elderly care. In the next three to five years, the Group will maximise efforts on developing and expanding the scale of its core industries, and develop
market-based expansion capabilities to grow new segments. III) Continuous digitalisation transformation, enhance internal operation efficiency and customer service experience In terms of digitalisation transformation upgrading, the Group will
shift from ERP to EBC, turning towards being user-driven, business-driven and data-driven, in order to take services online, create smart landscapes and turn data into assets.
2020 Annual Report 23 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS In terms of internal development, the Group will improve operational efficiency through upgrade of services of spaces with smart features, making
customer services available on a platform, and digitalise management of services. Based on plans to improve internal efficiency, the Group will actively develop a business ecosystem with external enterprises, leveraging professional expertise

profit margin of property management services was 28.8%, representing an increase of 7.2 percentage points as compared to 21.6% in 2019, mainly due to (i) improved operation and management efficiency; and (ii) effective cost control. Gross
profit margin of value-added services was 67.7%, representing a decrease of approximately 1.2 percentage points as compared to 68.9% in 2019, mainly due to decrease in revenue from spaces operation under the impact of 2020 coronavirus
pandemic as well as increase in staff costs arising from development of new business. Gross profit margin for pre-delivery and consulting services was 41.6%, representing a decrease of approximately 8.1 percentage points as compared to
49.7% in 2019. The decrease in gross profit margin for pre-delivery and consulting services was due to initial funding and higher costs arising from expansion of our product and service product (in particular repairs and smart engineering
services) portfolio and scale, which led to an increase in staff costs and expenses paid to third parties and subcontracts for subcontracting works arising from provision of such services, in turn causing a material adverse impact to our
gross profit margin. Administrative expenses The Group’s administrative expenses for the Year amounted to RMB56.6 million, representing a decrease of 17.5% as compared to RMB68.6 million in 2019, also representing 8.7% of revenue (2019:

improved intensified management efficiency.

Year amounted to RMB60.5 million. The income tax rate was 31.4% (corresponding period in 2019: 35.6%). The decrease in income tax rate for the Year was mainly attributable to (i) non-deductible expenses reduced by RMB5.0 million; and (ii)
losses attributable to joint ventures decreased by RMB0.6 million. Profit The Group’s net profit for the Year amounted to RMB131.9 million, representing an increase of 61.1% as compared to RMB81.9 million in the corresponding period last year.

purchase agreement dated 11 June 2018. Delivery of the properties purchased pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement dated 11 June 2018 has been delayed to late 2021 due to government action on dust control and environmental management,
the coronavirus pandemic and the flash flood in Zhengzhou on 20 July. Our prepayments to third parties mainly comprised prepayments made to utility suppliers and subcontractors. Our prepayments increased from approximately RMB3.0 million as
at 31 December 2019 to approximately RMB7.0 million as at 31 December 2020. Such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in advance payments made to our suppliers and subcontractors as a result of the increase in the Group’s GFA
under management leading to the increase in engagements with them. Our other receivables mainly represent deposits, prepayments on behalf of property residents and amount due from third parties. Our other receivables decreased from

term commencing from the date of the Trademark Licensing Agreement on a royaltyfree basis. The Trademark Licensing Agreement is not unilaterally terminable by the Licensors. The Company has been using the abovementioned licensed trademarks in
the business of the Group over the years in relation to the services rendered by the Group and for the related marketing and promotion activities on a royalty-free basis. The Directors believe that the entering into of the Trademark Licensing

licensed trademarks, are an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd., the controlling shareholder of the Company, and an indirect non wholly-owned subsidiary of Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. respectively, and therefore
each of them is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the transactions under the Trademark Licensing Agreement will constitute continuing connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing
Rules. As the right to use the licensed trademarks is granted to the Company on a royalty-free basis, the transactions under the Trademark Licensing Agreement will be within the de minimis threshold provided under Rule 14A.76 of the Listing
Rules and will be exempt from the reporting, annual review, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. 73

Software, is an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. and therefore a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the transactions under the Software Licensing Agreement will
constitute continuing connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As the right to use the Software is granted to us on a royalty-free basis, the transactions under the Software Licensing Agreement will be

Services shall be determined based on the regulations promulgated by the PRC government and after arm’s length negotiations taking into account the location of the project, the anticipated operational costs (including labour costs, material costs and administrative costs) with reference to the fees for similar services and similar type of projects in the market. The Directors estimated that the maximum annual fee payable
by the Remaining Xinyuan Real Estate Group
and/or its associates in relation to the XRE Property Management Services to be provided by the Group under the Property Management Services Framework Agreement (the “XRE Property Management Services Annual Cap”) for each of the three years ending 31 December 2021 will not exceed RMB17,265,000, RMB22,962,000 (the “XRE Property Management Services 2020 Annual Cap”) and RMB30,081,000, respectively.

2020 Annual Cap was exceeded by RMB2,438,000 due to payment of XRE Property Management Services fees by the Remaining Xinyuan Real Estate Group in the amount of RMB4,429,200. At the end of 2020, due to unforeseeable adjusted business
arrangement, the Remaining Xinyuan Real Estate Group agreed with the owners of certain property units a periodic reduction and exemption of property management fees and parking fees (the “Owners’ Fees”). In response to the said commitment
made by the Remaining Xinyuan Real Estate Group, the Company agreed that the total amount of reduction and exemption of the Owners’ Fees was RMB4,429,200. Based on such arrangement, the Owners’ Fees payable by the owners of the said
property units, who are independent third parties of the Company, were borne and paid by the Remaining Xinyuan Real Estate Group instead and regarded as part of the XRE Property Management Services fees, resulting in the exceeding of the
XRE Property Management Services 2020 Annual Cap. Since neither Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. nor the Company could foresee such unscheduled change of payment arrangement, when making estimation of the annual caps for the XRE Property
Management Services, the Company did not take into account such unpredictable circumstances nor provide any buffer amount therefor in arriving at the XRE Property Management Services Annual Caps. The Company failed to timely comply with
the reporting, annual review, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules before the XRE Property Management Services 2020 Annual Cap was exceeded. The Company will make
announcement(s) in relation to details of this matter and despatch circular and convene general meeting to seek ratification, confirmation and from the independent Shareholders’ approval for this matter as soon as possible. 77

“Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) set out on pages 96 to 187, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the
year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2020, and of its
consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong
Companies Ordinance. BASIS FOR OPINION We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong
Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. KEY AUDIT MATTERS Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole,
and in forming our opinion thereon, and
we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. 90
2020 Annual Report INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT KEY AUDIT MATTERS (CONTINUED) We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of
the consolidated
financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to
our assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Key audit matter Fund transfers with related parties During the year ended 31 December 2020, there were various fund transfers to certain related parties by the Group as disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Given the magnitude of
fund transfers to related parties
during the year ended 31 December
2020, we consider the identification and disclosure of fund transfers with related parties a key audit matter. The disclosures about fund transfers with related parties are included in Note 2.4 and Note 29(c) to the consolidated financial statements. How our audit addressed the key audit matter We have performed the following procedures to address this key audit matter: (i) Checked the completeness of bank accounts of the Group entities by cross matching the bank accounts maintained in the ledgers of such entities with the respective lists of bank accounts of such entities obtained by us
directly from banks; (ii) Checked
the completeness of recorded cash transactions
by cross matching of material fund transfers in the Group’s ledgers with bank statements obtained by us directly from banks or internet banking systems; (iii) Checked the completeness of material related party fund transfers disclosed in the financial statements from the Group’s ledgers and bank statements; and (iv) Checked the completeness of disclosure of borrowings used to provide financings to related parties and guarantees provided by the Group for financings of related parties, by reviewing credit reports of the
Group entities obtained by us
directly from banks or internet banking
systems. 91
Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman)
Ltd. INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT KEY AUDIT MATTERS (CONTINUED) Key audit matter Impairment of trade receivables As at 31 December 2020, gross trade receivables amounted to RMB248,340,000, which represented approximately 20% of the total assets of the
Group. Management has assessed the expected credit losses of the trade receivables and loss allowance of RMB13,671,000 was made against the trade receivables as at 31 December 2020. Management assessed the expected credit
losses of trade receivables based on assumptions about risk of default and expected credit loss rates. The Group used judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the
Group’s historical credit loss experience, ageing profile of the receivables, existing market conditions as well as forward-looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Given the magnitude of the balance of trade
receivables and that the assessment of the expected credit losses of trade receivables involved significant judgments and estimates made by management, we consider the assessment of the expected credit losses of trade
receivables a key audit matter. The disclosures about impairment of trade receivables are included in note 2.4, note 3 and note 18 to the consolidated financial statements. How our audit addressed the key audit matter We have
performed the following procedures to address this key audit matter: (i) Understood, evaluated and tested management’s key controls in relation to the assessment of the expected credit losses of trade receivables; (ii)
Assessed the appropriateness of the credit loss provisioning methodology adopted by management; (iii) Assessed the reasonableness of the estimated credit loss rates by considering historical cash collection performance and
movements of the ageing of trade receivables, and taking into account the market conditions; (iv) Tested, on a sample basis, the accuracy of ageing analysis of trade receivables prepared by management; and (v) Checked the
mathematical accuracy of the calculation of the provision for loss allowance. 92
2020 Annual Report INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT OTHER INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL REPORT The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the consolidated financial
statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 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. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs issued by the IASB and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company are responsible for assessing the Group’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 of the Company either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so. The directors of the Company are assisted by
the Audit Committee in discharging their responsibilities for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT
OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
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. Our report is made solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other
person for the contents of this report. 93
Xinyuan Property Management Service
(Cayman) Ltd. INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED) Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs 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 consolidated
financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with
HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit
procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. •
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related
to events or conditions that
may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the
consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 94
2020 Annual Report INDEPENDENT
AUDITOR’S REPORT AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) • Obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and
performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify
during our audit. We also
provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where
applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or related safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Yim Chi Hung

only.2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATIONThese consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), which include all International Financial Reporting
Standards, International Accounting Standards (“IASs”) and Standing Interpretations Committee interpretations issued and approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) and the disclosure
requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. These financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”) and all
values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except when otherwise indicated.Basis of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries
(collectively referred to as the “Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2020. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the
Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Group the
current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee). 1. CORPORATE AND GROUP INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
107 2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 BASIS OF
PREPARATION (CONTINUED)Basis of consolidation (Continued)When the Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and
circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;rights arising from other contractual arrangements; andthe Group’s
voting rights and potential voting rights.The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are
consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the
owners of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and
cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are
changes to one or more of the three elements of control described above. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.If the Group loses control
over a subsidiary, it derecognises (i) the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, (ii) the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest and (iii) the cumulative translation differences recorded
in equity; and recognises (i) the fair value of the consideration received, (ii) the fair value of any investment retained and (iii) any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Group’s share of components
previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or retained profits, as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets
or liabilities.
108 Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman) Ltd.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS31 December 2020 2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURESThe Group has adopted the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 and the following revised IFRSs for the first time for the current
year’s financial statements. Amendments to IFRS 3 Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 Amendment to IFRS 16 Definition of a Business Definition of MaterialInterest Rate Benchmark Reform
Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions The nature and the impact of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 and the revised IFRSs are described below:Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 (the
“Conceptual Framework”) sets out a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting and standard setting, and provides guidance for preparers of financial statements in developing consistent accounting policies and
assistance to all parties to understand and interpret the standards. The Conceptual Framework includes new chapters on measurement and reporting financial performance, new guidance on the derecognition of assets and
liabilities, and updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities. It also clarifies the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. The Conceptual Framework
is not a standard, and none of the concepts contained therein override the concepts or requirements in any standard. The Conceptual Framework did not have any significant impact on the financial position and performance
of the Group.Amendments to IFRS 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. Furthermore, it clarifies that a business can exist without including all of the inputs
and processes needed to create outputs. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
109 2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December
2020 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 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, or both. The amendments did not have any significant impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 address
issues affecting financial reporting in the period before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative risk-free rate (“RFR”). The amendments provide a number of reliefs, which apply to
all hedging relationships that are directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainty about the timing and/or amount of benchmark-based cash
flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument. These amendments have no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group as it does not have any interest rate hedge relationships.Amendment to IFRS 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 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 for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020 with earlier application permitted and shall be applied retrospectively. The amendments did not have any
impact on the financial position and performance of the Group.
110 Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman) Ltd.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS31 December 2020 2.3 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDSThe Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRSs, that have been issued but are not yet effective,
in these financial statements. Amendments to IFRS 3 Amendments to IAS 1 Amendments to IAS 16 Amendments to IAS 37 IFRS 17Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018–2020 Reference to the Conceptual Framework1 Classification

411 12 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 Further information about those IFRSs that are expected to be applicable
to the Group is described below.Amendments to IFRS 3 are intended to replace a reference to the previous Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements with a reference to the Conceptual
Framework for Financial Reporting issued in March 2018 without significantly changing its requirements. The amendments also add to IFRS 3 an exception to its recognition principle for an entity to refer to the
Conceptual Framework to determine what constitutes an asset or a liability. The exception specifies that, for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC-Int 21 if they
were incurred separately rather than assumed in a business combination, an entity applying IFRS 3 should refer to IAS 37 or IFRIC-Int 21 respectively instead of the Conceptual Framework. Furthermore, the amendments
clarify that contingent assets do not qualify for recognition at the acquisition date. The Group expects to adopt the amendments prospectively from 1 January 2022. Since the amendments apply prospectively to business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the date of first application, the Group will not be affected by these amendments on the date of transition.
111 2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December
2020 2.3 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)Amendments to IAS 1 clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments
specify that if an entity’s right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to the entity complying with specified conditions, the entity has a right to defer settlement of the liability at the end of the
reporting period if it complies with those conditions at that date. Classification of a liability is unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of the liability. The
amendments also clarify the situations that are considered a settlement of a liability. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and shall be applied retrospectively.
Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.Amendments to IAS 16 prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of an item
of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling any such items, and the cost of those items, in profit or loss. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and shall
be applied retrospectively only to items of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the entity first
applies the amendments. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.Amendments to IAS 37 clarify that for the purpose of
assessing whether a contract is onerous under IAS 37, the cost of fulfilling the contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract. Costs that relate directly to a contract include both the
incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (e.g., direct labour and materials) and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling that contract (e.g., an allocation of the depreciation charge
for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract as well as contract management and supervision costs). General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are
excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and shall be applied to contracts for
which an entity has not yet fulfilled all its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments. Earlier application is permitted. Any cumulative effect of
initially applying the amendments shall be recognised as an adjustment to the opening equity at the date of initial application without restating the comparative information. The amendments are not expected to have
any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.
112 Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman) Ltd.NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17), a comprehensive new
accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Once effective, IFRS 17 will replace IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (IFRS 4) that was issued in 2005.
IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e., life, non-life, direct insurance and re-insurance), regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial
instruments with discretionary participation features. A few scope exceptions will apply. The overall objective of IFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model for insurance contracts that is more useful and
consistent for insurers. In contrast to the requirements in IFRS 4, which are largely based on grandfathering previous local accounting policies, IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts,
covering all relevant accounting aspects. The core of IFRS 17 is the general model, supplemented by:A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach)A simplified
approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contractsIFRS 17 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, with comparative figures required. Early application
is permitted, provided the entity also applies IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 on or before the date it first applies IFRS 17. This standard is not applicable to the Group.Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018–2020 sets out
amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9 and IAS 41. Details of the amendments that are expected to be applicable to the Group are as follows:IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: clarifies the fees that an entity includes when
assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the
borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after
the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. Earlier application is permitted.
The amendment is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.
113 2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December
2020 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)As part of its 2018–2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 1
First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendment permits a subsidiary that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1 to measure cumulative translation differences using the
amounts reported by the parent, based on the parent’s date of transition to IFRS. This amendment is also applied to an associate or joint venture that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1. The amendment
is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 with earlier adoption permitted.As part of its 2018–2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process, the IASB issued amendment
to IAS 41 Agriculture. The amendment removes the requirement in paragraph 22 of IAS 41 that entities exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring the fair value of assets within the scope of IAS 41. An entity
applies the amendment prospectively to fair value measurements on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The amendments
are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESInvestments in associates and joint venturesAn associate is an entity in which the Group has a long term
interest of generally not less than 20% of the equity voting rights and over which it is in a position to exercise significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and
operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement
have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the
unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.The Group’s investments in associates and joint ventures are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at the Group’s share of net assets under
the equity method of accounting, less any impairment losses. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.
114 Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman) Ltd.NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESInvestments in associates and joint ventures (Continued)The Group’s share of the post-acquisition results and other
comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures is included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and consolidated other comprehensive income, respectively. In addition, when there has been a
change recognised directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains
and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its associates or joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s investments in the associates or joint ventures, except where
unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the assets transferred. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of associates or joint ventures is included as part of the Group’s investments in
associates or joint ventures.If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or vice versa, the retained interest is not remeasured. Instead, the investment continues to be accounted
for under the equity method. In all other cases, upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its
fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from
disposal is recognised in profit or loss.Business combinations and goodwillBusiness combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition
date fair value which is the sum of the acquisition date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities assumed by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued
by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and
entitle their holders to a proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of
non-controlling interests are measured at fair value. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.The Group determines that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and assets
includes an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs.
115 2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December
2020 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Business combinations and goodwill (Continued)When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded
derivatives in host contracts of the acquiree.If the business combination is achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain
or loss is recognised in profit or loss.Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or
liability is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted
for within equity.Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount recognised for non-controlling interests and any fair value of the
Group’s previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the sum of this consideration and other items is lower than the fair value of
the net assets acquired, the difference is, after reassessment, recognised in profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase.After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated
impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group performs its annual
impairment test of goodwill as at 31 December. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s
cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned
to those units or group of units.Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units), to which the goodwill relates. Where the
recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not
reversed in a subsequent period.
116 Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman) Ltd.NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Business combinations and goodwill (Continued)Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit
(or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation
when determining the gain or loss on the disposal. Goodwill disposed of in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating
unit retained.Fair value measurementThe Group measures its financial assets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or
transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The
principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the
asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.The Group uses valuation techniques
that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable
inputs.All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: Level 1 – based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 – based on valuation
techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly Level 3 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
117 2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31
December 2020 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Fair value measurement (Continued)For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a
recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.Impairment of non-financial assetsWhere an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required
(other than inventories, contract assets, deferred tax assets, financial assets), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or
cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of
those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.An impairment loss is recognised only if the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories
consistent with the function of the impaired asset.An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no
longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there
has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any
depreciation/amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December
2020 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Property, plant and equipment and depreciationProperty, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset
to its working condition and location for its intended use.Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is
normally charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where the recognition criteria are satisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is capitalised in the
carrying amount of the asset as a replacement. Where significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets
with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly.Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property, plant and equipment to its residual
value over its estimated useful life. The principal useful lives for this purpose are as follows: StructuresTransportation equipment Office equipment Machinery equipment Leasehold improvements 3
to 10 years5 to 10 years3 to 5 years3 to 10 years3 years Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable
basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Residual values, useful lives and the depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year
end.An item of property, plant and equipment including any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or
disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of
the relevant asset.Intangible assets (other than goodwill)Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business
combination is the fair value at the date of acquisition. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are subsequently
amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for
intangible assets with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at eachfinancial year end.119
120 Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman)
Ltd.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Intangible assets (other than goodwill) (Continued)The principal estimated useful lives
for this purpose are as follows:Computer software 10 yearsLeasesThe Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the
contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.Group as a lesseeThe Group applies a single recognition and measurement
approach for all leases, except for short- term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right
to use the underlying assets.Right-of-use assetsRight-of-use assets are recognised at the commencement date of the lease (that is the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use
assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the
amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease terms and the estimated useful lives of the assets. If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group by the end of the
lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.Lease liabilitiesLease liabilities are recognised at the
commencement date of the lease 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 Group and payments of penalties for termination of a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option
to terminate the lease. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment
occurs.
121 2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS31 December 2020 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Leases (Continued)Group as a lessee (Continued)Lease liabilities (Continued)In calculating the present value of
lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement
date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is
remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in lease payments (e.g., a change to future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate) or a change in
assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.Short-term leases and leases of low-value assetsThe Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of
machinery and equipment (that is those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the recognition
exemption for leases of low-value assets to leases of office equipment and laptop computers that are considered to be of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low- value
assets are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.Group as a lessorWhen the Group acts as a lessor, it classifies at lease inception (or when there is a lease
modification) each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease.Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an
asset are classified as operating leases. When a contract contains lease and non- lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each component on a relative
stand-alone selling price basis. Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in profit or loss due to its operating nature. Initial
direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.Leases that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying assets to
the lessee are accounted for as finance leases.The Group did not have any finance lease which it acts as a lessor.

Ltd.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Investments and other financial assetsInitial recognition and
measurementFinancial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost and fair value through profit or loss.The classification of financial assets at
initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flows characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do
not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient of not adjusting the effect of a significant financing component, the Group initially
measures a financial asset at its fair value, plus in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a
significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15 in accordance with the policies set
out for “Revenue recognition” below.In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest (“SPPI”) on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of
the business model.The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether
cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortised cost are held within a business
model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, while financial assets classified and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
are held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling. Financial assets which are not held within the aforementioned business models
are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss.All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date that the Group
commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by
regulation or convention in the marketplace.
123 2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS31 December 2020 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Investments and other financial assets (Continued)Subsequent measurementThe subsequent measurement of
financial assets depends on their classification as follows:Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the
effective interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.The Group’s financial assets
at amortised cost include trade receivables and other receivables.Derecognition of financial assetsA financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of
similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statements of financial position) when:the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have
expired; orthe Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third
party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered
into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing
involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and
obligations that the Group has retained.Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the
asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.
124 Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman)
Ltd.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Impairment of financial assetsThe Group recognises an allowance for
expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in
accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will
include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.General approachECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit
exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are
possible within the next 12 months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance
is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).At each reporting date, the Group assesses
whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When making the assessment, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on
the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and
supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort, including historical and forward-looking information.The Group considers a financial asset in default when
contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that
the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when
there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
125 2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS31 December 2020 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Impairment of financial assets (Continued)General approach (Continued)Financial assets at amortised
cost are subject to impairment under the general approach and they are classified within the following stages for measurement of ECLs except for trade receivables and contract assets
which apply the simplified approach as detailed below. Stage 1 – Financial instruments for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition and for which the
loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs Stage 2 – Financial instruments for which credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition but that are
not credit-impaired financial assets and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs Stage 3 – Financial assets that are credit-impaired at the
reporting date (but that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired) and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs Simplified approachFor trade
receivables and contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component or when the Group applies the practical expedient of not adjusting the effect of a significant
financing component, the Group applies the simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Under the simplified approach, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises
a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for
forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.For other receivables, the Group applies the general approach to provide for ECLs prescribed by IFRS 9, which
permits to recognise 12-month ECLs. The 12-month ECL is the portion of lifetime ECLs that results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECL.

Ltd.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Financial liabilitiesInitial recognition and measurementFinancial
liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as
hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of
directly attributable transaction costs.The Group’s financial liabilities include trade payables, other payables and lease liabilities.Subsequent measurementThe subsequent measurement
of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and borrowings)After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and
borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at
cost. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process.Amortised cost is
calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate (“EIR”). The EIR amortisation is
included as finance costs in profit or loss.Derecognition of financial liabilitiesA financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or
cancelled, or expires.When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the
respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.Offsetting of financial instrumentsFinancial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in
the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise
the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.126
127 2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Cash and cash equivalentsFor the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows,
cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to
an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an
integral part of the Group’s cash management.For the purpose of the consolidated statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks,
including term deposits, and assets similar in nature to cash, which are not restricted as to use.ProvisionsA provision is recognised when a present obligation (legal or
constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognised for a provision is the present value at the end of the
reporting period of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time is
included in finance costs in profit or loss.Income taxIncome tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised
outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid
to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration
interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates.Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of
the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
128 Xinyuan Property Management Service
(Cayman) Ltd.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Income tax (Continued)Deferred tax liabilities are recognised
for all taxable temporary differences, except:when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not
a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; andin respect of taxable temporary differences
associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that
the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused
tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary
differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither
the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; andin respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint venture,
deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available
against which the temporary differences can be utilised.The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it
is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are
reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of
the deferred tax asset to be recovered.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
129 2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Income tax (Continued)Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset
if and only if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax asset and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
relating to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax
liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax
liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.Government grantsGovernment grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the
grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the
periods that the costs, which it is intended to compensate, are expensed.Revenue from contracts with customersThe Group provides property management services, value-added
services and pre-delivery and consulting services. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when services are rendered to the customer at an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those services.For property management services, the Group bills a fixed amount for services provided on a
monthly basis and recognises as revenue in the amount to which the Group has a right to invoice and that corresponds directly with the value of performance completed.For property
management services income from properties managed under a lump sum basis, where the Group acts as principal and is primarily responsible for providing the property management
services to the property owners, the Group recognises the fee received or receivable from property owners as its revenue and all related property management costs as its cost of
services. For property management services income from properties managed under a commission basis, the Group recognises the commission, which is calculated by a certain
percentage of the total property management fee received or receivable from the property units, as its revenue for arranging and monitoring the services as provided by other
suppliers to the property owners.For value-added services, revenue is recognised when the related value-added services are rendered. Payment of the transaction is due immediately
when the value-added services are rendered to the customer.
130 Xinyuan
Property Management Service (Cayman) Ltd.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Revenue from contracts
with customers (Continued)Pre-delivery and consulting services mainly include property sale venue management services to property developers at the pre-delivery stage,
consulting service on project planning, design management and construction management to property developers at early and construction stages. The Group agrees the price for
each service with the customers upfront and issues bills to the customers which varies based on the actual level of service completed.For property improvement services, revenue
is recognised over time, using an input method to measure progress towards the completion of the service, because the Group’s performance enhances an asset that the customer
controls as the asset is enhanced. The input method recognises revenue based on the proportion of the actual costs incurred relative to the estimated total costs for
satisfaction of the property improvement services.If contracts involve the sale of multiple services, the transaction prices will be allocated to each performance obligation
based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. If the stand-alone selling prices are not directly observable, they are estimated based on expected cost plus a margin or an
adjusted market assessment approach, depending on the availability of observable information.Revenue from other sourcesInterest income is recognised on an accrual basis using
the effective interest method by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter
period, when appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive payment has been established,
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.Contract assetsA contract
asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before
the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional. Contract assets are subject to
impairment assessment, details of which are included in the accounting policies for impairment of financial assets.
131 2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO
THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Contract liabilitiesA contract liability is recognised when a payment is
received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Group transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognised as
revenue when the Group performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).Contract costsOther than the costs which are
capitalised as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, costs incurred to fulfil a contract with a customer are capitalised as an asset if all of the
following criteria are met:The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the entity can specifically identify.The costs generate or enhance
resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future.The costs are expected to be recovered.The
capitalised contract costs are amortised and charged to the statement of profit or loss on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the
goods or services to which the asset relates. Other contract costs are expensed as incurred.Share-based paymentsThe Company operates a restricted share scheme for the
purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations. Employees (including directors) of the Group
receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (“equity-settled transactions”).The
cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the Company’s equity at the date at which they are granted. The fair
value is determined by an external valuer using the discounted cash flow method to determine the underlying equity fair value of the Company. Key assumptions, such as the
discount rate, cash flow projections and the discount for lack of marketability, are determined by the Group with best estimates.
Xinyuan Property Management Service (Cayman) Ltd. 31 December 2020 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED) Share-based payments (Continued) The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised in employee benefit expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity,
over the period in which the service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at the end of each reporting period until the
vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge
or credit to profit or loss for a period represents the movement in the cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. Service and non-market
performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the
Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is
recognised as if the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total
fair value of the share-based payments, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is
treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. This includes any award where non-vesting
conditions within the control of either the Group or the employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and is designated as a replacement
award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The
dilutive effect of share-based payments scheme is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share. Other employee benefits PRC contribution plan
Pursuant to the relevant PRC laws and regulations, each of the PRC subsidiaries of the Group is required to participate in a retirement benefit scheme organised by the local
municipal government whereby the Group is required to contribute a certain percentage of the salaries of its employees to the retirement benefit scheme. The only obligation of
the Group with respect to the retirement benefit scheme is to pay the ongoing required contributions. Contributions made to the defined contribution retirement benefit scheme are
charged to profit or loss as incurred. 132
133 2020 Annual ReportNOTES TO
THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)Borrowing costsBorrowing costs directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, i.e., assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale,
are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or
sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs
capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in
connection with the borrowing of funds.DividendsFinal dividends are recognised as a liability when they are approved by the shareholders in a general meeting. Proposed
final dividends are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.Interim dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared, because the Company’s memorandum and
articles of association grant the directors the authority to declare interim dividends. Consequently, interim dividends are recognised immediately as a liability when
they are proposed and declared.Foreign currenciesThe consolidated financial statements is presented in RMB, which is the Company’s functional currency. Each entity in the
Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency
transactions recorded by the entities in the Group are initially recorded using their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period.
Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss.Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a
foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. The gain or loss arising on translation of a non-monetary item measured at fair value is
treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation difference on the item whose fair value gain or loss is
recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).
134 Xinyuan Property
Management Service (Cayman) Ltd.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATESThe preparation of the consolidated
financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities,
and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could
require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.Estimation uncertaintyThe key assumptions concerning the
future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.Provision for expected credit losses on trade receivables and contract assetsThe
Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables and contract assets. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various
customer segments that have similar loss patterns (i.e., by geography, product type, customer type and rating, and coverage by letters of credit and other forms of
credit insurance).The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group will calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical
credit loss experience with forward-looking information. For instance, if forecast economic conditions are expected to deteriorate over the next year which can lead to
an increased number of defaults, the historical default rates are adjusted. At each reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the
forward-looking estimates are analysed.The assessment of the correlation among historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and ECLs is a significant
estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and forecast economic conditions. The Group’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of
economic conditions may also not be representative of customer’s actual default in the future. The information about the ECLs on the Group’s trade receivables and
contract assets is disclosed in note 18 and note 19 to the financial statements, respectively.
135 2020 Annual ReportNOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES (CONTINUED)Estimation uncertainty (Continued)Impairment of
non-financial assets (other than goodwill)The Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets at the end of each reporting
period. Indefinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually and at other times when such an indicator exists. Other non-financial assets are tested
for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or a
cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The calculation of the fair
value less costs of disposal is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices
less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the
asset or cash-generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.Leases – Estimating the incremental
borrowing rateThe Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in a lease, and therefore, it uses an incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to measure lease
liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to
obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group “would have to pay”, which
requires estimation when no observable rates are available (such as for subsidiaries that do not enter into financing transactions) or when it needs to be adjusted to
reflect the terms and conditions of the lease (for example, when leases are not in the subsidiary’s functional currency). The Group estimates the IBR using observable
inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the subsidiary’s stand-alone credit
rating).Useful lives of property, plant and equipmentThe Group’s management determines the estimated useful lives. This estimate is based on the historical experience
of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. Management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are
less than previously estimated lives, or will write off or write down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. Periodic review
could result in a change in depreciable lives and therefore depreciation charge in the future periods.Deferred tax assetsDeferred tax assets are recognised for unused
tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is
required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future
tax planning strategies.

the reports reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segment, has been identified as the chief executive of the Company.During the year, the Group is principally engaged in the provision
of property management services, value-added services and pre-delivery and consulting services to customers in the PRC. Management reviews the operating results of
the business as one operating segment to make decisions about resources to be allocated. Therefore, the chief operating decision maker of the Company regards that
there is only one segment which is used to make strategic decisions.The major operating entities of the Group are domiciled in the PRC. Accordingly, all of the
Group’s revenue was derived in the PRC during the year.As at 31 December 2020, all of the non-current assets were located in the PRC.

Ultimate Holding Company accounted for 23% and 20% of the Group’s revenue, respectively. Other than the entities controlled by the Ultimate Holding Company, the
Group had a large number of customers and none of whom contributed 10% or more to the Group’s revenue for the then periods.Assets recognised from incremental

pre-delivery and consulting services, the Group recognises revenue in the amount that equals to the right to invoice which corresponds directly with the value
to the customer of the Group’s performance to date. The Group has elected the practical expedient for not to disclose the remaining performance obligations for
these types of contracts. The majority of the property management service contracts do not have a fixed term. The terms of the contracts for pre-delivery and
consulting services are generally set to expire when the counterparties notify the Group that the services are no longer required.For value-added services, they
are rendered in a short period of time and there is no unsatisfied performance obligation at the end of the year.OTHER INCOME AND

from the foreign investment enterprises established in Mainland China. The requirement is effective from 1 January 2008 and applies to earnings
after 31 December 2007. A lower withholding tax rate may be applied if there is a tax treaty between Mainland China and the jurisdiction of the
foreign investors.For the Group, the applicable rate is 10%. The above PRC withholding tax has been provided based on the net profits of the year
planned to be distributed by the Company’s Mainland China subsidiaries and the applicable tax rate of 10%.Deferred tax liabilities of RMB35,609,000
and RMB21,907,000 as at 31 December 2020 and 2019 respectively, have not been provided in respect of withholding tax that would be payable on the
distribution of retained earnings of the Mainland China subsidiaries, which was determined based on the extent of retained earnings of such
subsidiaries unlikely to be distributed of RMB356,093,000 and RMB219,069,000 as at 31 December 2020 and 2019. This is because the Company controls
the dividend policy of the Mainland China subsidiaries and the directors determined that such retained earnings are not likely to be distributed in
the foreseeable future.

Annual ReportNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS31 December 2020 32. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIESThe Group’s principal financial
instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents. The main purpose of these financial instruments are to raise finance for the Group’s operations. The
Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables, financial assets included in prepayments and other receivables,
trade payables and financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals, which arise directly from its operations.The main risks arising from
the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk and liquidity risk. The board of directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these
risks and they are summarised below.Credit riskThe Group is exposed to credit risk in relation to its trade receivables and other receivables, and cash
and cash equivalents.The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents, since they are substantially
deposited at state-owned banks and other medium or large-sized listed banks. Management does not expect that there will be any significant losses from
non-performance by these counterparties.The Group expects that the credit risk associated with trade receivables and other receivables due from related
parties is considered to be low, since the related parties have a strong capacity to meet contractual cash flow obligation in the near term. Thus, the
impairment provision recognized was nil for the trade receivables and other receivables due from related parties.The Group trades only with recognised
and creditworthy third parties. Concentrations of credit risk are managed by analysis by customer/counterparty. There are no significant concentrations
of credit risk within the Group as the customer bases of the Group’s trade receivables and other receivables are widely dispersed. In addition,
receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. The maximum exposure is the carrying
amounts as disclosed in Note 18 and Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Group will
encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligation due to shortage of funds. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches
of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding to finance its
working capital needs as well as capital expenditure in respect of its development projects, and flexibility through the use of stand-by credit
facilities.

ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholders’ value.The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in
light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the
Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group is not subject to any
externally imposed capital requirements. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for capital management during the year ended
31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019.The Group monitors capital using the gearing ratio. Gearing ratio is defined as net debt divided by capital.

have net debt as at 31 December 2020 and 2019.Foreign currency riskThe Group mainly operated in the PRC with most of the transactions settled in RMB
and did not have significant exposure to risk resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Service Enterprises, and by the E-House Real Estate R&D Institute* () and China Real Estate Appraisal Centre as a 2021 Top 100 China Property Service Enterprises in Brand Value, 2021 Top 20 China Property Service Enterprises in
Central China, and 2021 Featured Brand of Property Management Service – Xin-services. As at 30 June 2021, we provided property management services and community value-added services to 49 cities in the PRC, with contracted gross floor
area (“GFA”) amounting to approximately 57.0 million sq.m., and GFA under management amounting to approximately 36.2 million sq.m. Our business covers various types of properties, including residential properties, integrated properties,
commercial and office buildings, business parks, industrial parks, etc. The Group has made 2021 its “Strategic upgrade year” and formulated a development strategy for the next three to five years. We strive to be a leading intelligent
operator of pan-property industry and will focus on three major development directions of Xin-properties, Xin-industries and Xin-technology, based on a development map of “1+4+N” and a “3+1+N” business development model, in order to
provide omnibusiness, full-value chain and comprehensive scenarios integrated solutions for our customers. In terms of service upgrades, we will focus on developing core IP for a Xin-services 4.0 system covering “three major spaces and
eight major service systems” that can deliver “high cost-performance ratio, high satisfaction, high service experience”. By establishing multi-business service and product lines providing precision services based on different business
types and classes of customers and with features that Xinyuan uniquely offers, we aim to enhance our brand recognition and customer satisfaction. Despite the unexpected flash floods that struck Zhengzhou in July 2021, the Group quickly
deployed in various neighbourhoods in Zhengzhou to tackle the floods, and organised reconstruction after the flood subsided, demonstrating the Group’s excellent emergency response capability. By offering our professional standards of
organisation and services, we managed to minimise losses to owners. Our heroes and their heroics also received widespread recognition from society, further demonstrating the Group’s solid management capability and outstanding service
quality.
BUSINESS REVIEW In the first half of 2021, the Group made advancements
in both its management scale and business scale based on its “1+4+N” (1 key leading region (Central China), 4 key deep cultivation regions (Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Bohai Economic Rim and Shaanxi-Sichuan-Chongqing
Area) and N strategic opportunities) market development map and “3+1+N” (three major spaces of living space, non-living space and urban space; one major business of community value-added services; expansion into N industries) business
development model. The Group achieved breakthroughs in scale expansion, in terms of both business types and regional coverage. Besides our sustained efforts in the residential business, we also achieved continuous breakthroughs in business
parks, industrial parks, schools, and external sales venues. In terms of regional layout, we not only intensified efforts in Henan, but also made further inroads into Shandong, Hebei, Anhui, Jiangsu and Chongqing for comprehensive engagement,
as we spread our efforts to deepen cultivation in these five major regions, demonstrating the effectiveness of our base+regions expansion map. In terms of business expansion, the Group effectively linked its internal resources and internal
customers advantages. With a solid foundation in apartment operations, urban redevelopment, cultural services, living services, and smart community construction, our asset operations and sales cooperation business made effective breakthrough.
Cumulative sales cooperation volume amounted to 29.2 million with premium of 15.3 million. The Group not only succeeded in enhancing the liquidity of assets, but also its business capability. As for innovative development, particularly on
digitalised community construction, the Group has established an “EPC+CDI” smart community construction model, a 9633 digitalised community construction model, implemented the construction of smart community 1.0–4.0, construction of
business-financial integrated system, pilot WeCom promotions, etc. which will help us fully implement digitalised transformation and upgrade through two major aspects of digital properties and digital smart communities. Currently, the Group
has successfully copyrighted software to 7 business systems, including an online learning management system, a staff deployment and attendance management system, and a budget management system, which were all developed in-house. The Group’s
existing three major business lines consist of property management services, value-added services and pre-delivery and consulting services. On the basis of enhancing quality of our property services, we will continue to seek expansion in the
industrial chain and value chain, so as to broaden our service coverage.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES Based on the “1+4+N” market development map, the Group increased its regional density and
expanded its business scope, and sustained robust growth in scale. Building on sustained expansion in the residential sector, the Group actively expanded towards non-residential businesses to optimise its business type structure. In the
first half of the year, we secured contracts for 17 key projects spanning multiple business types such as residential buildings, schools, business parks and industrial parks, including Jiangsu Xinyi Shengshi Mingmen (Junlan Huafu)* (),
Shandong China Rural Agricultural Revitalisation Innovation City* (), Qingdao Huiju Smart Home* () and Chongqing Sanfeng Environmental Power Generation Limited* (). The Group sustained its efforts in achieving development with diversity and
scale in the first half of 2021. We actively expanded our coverage of business types, including residential, commercial and business, sales venues, industrial parks and schools, across various provinces from Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong,
Hebei and other provinces, based on “comprehensive engagement and investment, merger and acquisition as main strategies; joint venture and cooperation, state-owned enterprise reform, stock asset movement as auxiliary strategies”, which
further enhanced our marketisation level, with 65% of contracted GFA attributable to external customers. The Group increased efforts in informatisation construction, focusing on digitalised smart communities and digitalised smart
properties. 7 informatisation systems are now online and 57 smart community applications have been implemented, and we have achieved per capita management area growth by 39.0%, per capita revenue growth by 11.0%, and energy consumption
savings by 9.0% over the same period last year. In terms of digitalised smart community, we actively promoted the development of Smart Community 4.0 and implemented 57 smart community applications. At the same time, the Group entered into a
strategic cooperation agreement with Hikvision to explore in-depth cooperation in the area of property management digitalisation transformation upgrade in future, in order to gather smart software and hardware for building a smart
community. As for digitalised smart properties, we continued to enhance our internal digitalised management capability by making further improvements to the business-financial integrated platform and completing the construction of 7 core
systems. As at 30 June 2021, our contracted GFA was approximately 57.0 million sq.m., with a total of 254 contracted properties, representing growth of 42.1% and 29.6% respectively over the same period last year. GFA under management

100.0 42,038 100.0 PROSPECTS The Group strives to be a leading intelligent operator of pan-property industry. We will focus on three major development directions of “Xin-property”, “Xin-industry”, and “Xin-technology”, establish a scaledriven, technology-empowered
and financial-ecosystem three-dimensional development model, and expand coverage through the “1+4+N” strategy. We aim to realise quality growth through key measures such as quality operations, expansion of scale, organisation
innovation, technological development, and enhancement of capability. 1. Further expand our management and business scale The Group’s strategy will focus on two
aspects, to increase regional density and to expand national coverage. Geographically, the Group will remain focused on Central China while developing its presence in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Bohai Economic Rim
and Greater Southwest, increasing regional density and strengthening regional presence, driving the Group’s development across the country through enhanced regional impact. Developing
a 1+4+N strategy model for increasing regional coverage “1 key leading region”: deep cultivation in Henan and consolidate our local market position, further expand the Hunan and Hubei markets, increasing our density in
Central China, and establish ourselves as leader in the Central China market. “4 key deep cultivation regions”: intensify expansion in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Bohai Economic Rim and Shaanxi-Sichuan-Chongqing
Area, expanding our reach across China. “N strategic opportunities”: opportunistic expansion through participating in quality projects in other cities where we have established a presence.
The Group will focus on three major expansion channels of comprehensive engagement, merger and acquisition, and
cooperation with state-owned enterprises, continuing to innovate in expansion models. The Group will seek to maintain robust growth in comprehensive engagement. Meanwhile, we aim to expand on equity cooperation by actively looking
for quality partnership targets so as to realise rapid growth of our business scale. At the same time, we will look to increase participation in urban redevelopment projects, state-owned enterprise reform and utilities-property
management to expand our business coverage. Through joint ventures, controlling-minority interest, comprehensive engagement management, the Group will deepen its position in the market of stock assets, and establish a unique
business and management model based on the market of stock assets. 2. Optimise business coverage, continuous business expansion For coverage of business types, the
Group will maintain residential properties as core, and at the same time, focus efforts on developing coverage in commercial buildings, public facilities, industrial parks and business parks, actively expanding business in urban
services and rural beautification works. We will continue to strengthen our coverage around the three major sectors – residential, nonresidential, and urban services, in order to optimise business type structure and revenue
structure. With respect to value added services, the Group will focus on owners’ residential, living and working needs, integrating offline property services and online platform advantages to offer value-added services in areas
such as community life, park spaces, and daily business services. The Group will continue to expand from living services, professional services, housing services, asset management services in living spaces, to asset management,
business support in non-living spaces and public services in urban spaces. As for growing its business in new industries, the Group will combine the initial development of community value-added services, the appeal of the
industries and the integration of both internal and external resources to focus on growth in three main areas – asset management, smart community and community elderly care. The Group will also seek opportunities to develop its
budding businesses in five areas – living services, mechanical and electrical repairs and maintenance, neighbourhood childcare, energy management, and eco-friendly environmental protection. Meanwhile, we will maintain our focus on
intensive, specialised and scale development of our core businesses, in order to strengthen our market expansion capability. 3. Speed up digitalisation transformation,
enhance internal operation efficiency and customer service experience In terms of digitalisation transformation upgrading, the Group will continue to work on
generational upgrades for digitalised management and digitalised ecoystem, and shift from ERP to EBC. By being user-driven, business-driven and data-driven, we will be
able to take services online, create smart landscapes and turn data into assets.
In terms of internal digital construction, the Group will improve operational efficiency through upgrade of services
of spaces with smart features, making customer services available on a platform, and digitalise management of services. Based on plans to improve internal efficiency, the Group will actively develop a business ecosystem with
external enterprises, leveraging professional expertise to enable rapid transformation. In terms of digitalisation development, the Group will take a three-step approach based on internal application, ecosystem construction and
driving industry development, turning from our focus on internal development to take on a role of driving industry development, focusing on management problems faced by small and medium enterprises, constructing an integrated
digitalised ecosystem for providing solutions, key products, management systems, operation systems, and supply chain systems. The Group will upgrade itself from ERP to EBC, becoming client-focused and businessdriven, providing not
just products but also ancillary systems that truly address problems faced by small and medium enterprises. FINANCIAL REVIEW Revenue For the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Group recorded revenue of approximately RMB337.5 million (the corresponding period in 2020:

overall gross profit was approximately RMB120.6 million, representing a growth of approximately 16.4% as compared to approximately RMB103.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The Group’s overall gross profit margin
for the six months ended 30 June 2021 decreased to approximately 35.7% from approximately 39.7% for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Gross profit margin of property management services was approximately 27.1%, representing a
decrease of approximately 1.1 percentage points as compared to approximately 28.2% for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The decrease in gross profit margin for property management services was mainly due to the relatively
low impact of the COVID-19 pandemic leading to lower costs for the corresponding period in 2020. Gross profit margin of value-added services was approximately 65.9%, remaining unchanged from approximately 65.9% for the six
months ended 30 June 2020. Gross profit margin for pre-delivery and consulting services was approximately 38.8%, representing a decrease of approximately 16.2 percentage points as compared to approximately 55.0% for the six
months ended 30 June 2020. The decrease in gross profit margin for pre-delivery and consulting services was mainly due to initial fund and relatively higher costs arising from expansion in the range and scale of our products
and services, particularly maintenance and smart construction services, resulting in increased staff costs and fees paid to third parties and subcontractors for subcontracted works arising from the provision of the related
services.
Administrative expenses For the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Group’s administrative expenses was
approximately RMB29.4 million, representing an increase of approximately 27.3% as compared to approximately RMB23.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020, also representing approximately 8.7% of the Group’s revenue
(representing approximately 8.9% of the Group’s revenue for the corresponding period in 2020). The increase was mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic leading to social security reductions and waivers for the
corresponding period in 2020. Other income For the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Group’s other income and gains was approximately RMB5.2 million, remaining unchanged from approximately RMB5.2 million for the six months
ended 30 June 2020. Income tax For the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Group’s income tax expense was RMB25.1 million, representing an increase of 12.1% as compared to RMB22.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020.
The increase in income tax expense was attributable to the increase in the Group’s profit before tax. Profit The Group’s profit for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was approximately RMB64.4 million, representing an increase
of approximately 15.6% as compared to approximately RMB55.7 million for the corresponding period last year, mainly due to the Group’s business growth. Current assets, reserves and capital structure The Group maintained a sound

approximately 14.2% as compared to approximately RMB691.9 million as at 31 December 2020. As at 30 June 2021, the Group’s total equity was approximately RMB898.1 million, representing an increase of approximately RMB100.2
million or approximately 12.6% as compared to approximately RMB797.9 million as at 31 December 2020, mainly due to the increase in economic income. Property, plant and equipment As at 30 June 2021, the Group’s net property,
plant and equipment was approximately RMB9.2 million, representing a growth of approximately 3.4% as compared to approximately RMB8.9 million as at 31 December 2020, mainly due to additions of new property, plant and equipment
to cope with the Group’s expansion of scale during the current period in 2021.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Other intangible assets As at 30 June 2021, the book value of the Group’s
intangible assets was approximately RMB1.7 million, representing a growth of approximately 70.0% as compared to approximately RMB1.0 million as at 31 December 2020. The Group’s intangible assets mainly comprised of (i) the

to the recovery of trade receivables from related parties. Prepayments, deposits and other receivables Our prepayments, deposits and other receivables mainly comprised (i) prepayments to related parties; (ii) prepayments to
third parties; and (iii) other receivables. As at 30 June 2021, the Group’s prepayments, deposits and other receivables was approximately RMB327.4 million, representing an increase of approximately RMB215.5 million as
compared to approximately RMB111.9 million as at 31 December 2020. The increase was mainly due to the payment of earnest money by the Group to Xinyuan Group for the exclusive sales of car parking space. Our prepayments to
related parties mainly represent advance prepayments to another subsidiary of Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. of approximately RMB89.1 million for the purchase of certain residential units for investment purposes pursuant to a
sale and purchase agreement dated 11 June 2018. Our prepayments to third parties mainly comprised prepayments made to utility suppliers and subcontractors. Our prepayments to third parties increased from approximately RMB7.0
million as at 31 December 2020 to approximately RMB11.6 million as at 30 June 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase of our management area in conjunction with our business growth, resulting in increased
prepayments to third parties. Our other receivables mainly represent deposits, prepayments on behalf of property residents and amount due from third parties. Our other receivables increased from approximately RMB15.3 million
as at 31 December 2020 to approximately RMB226.6 million as at 30 June 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to the payment of earnest money to Xinyuan Group for the exclusive sales of car parking space.
Trade payables As at 30 June 2021, the Group’s trade payables amounted to approximately RMB77.1 million,
representing an increase of 75.2% as compared to RMB44.0 million as at 31 December 2020. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in the amount of outstanding payables for goods during the current period. Other

mainly attributable to the settlement of payables relating to the Group’s operations due in late 2020. Contract liabilities The Group’s contract liabilities mainly resulted from the advance payments received from customers
while the underlying services are yet to be provided. As at 30 June 2021, our contract liabilities was approximately RMB159.5 million, representing an increase of 28.5% from approximately RMB124.1 million as at 31 December

bank loans and other borrowings as at the corresponding date divided by the total equity on the same date. As at 30 June 2021, we had no interest-bearing borrowings, thus our gearing ratio is zero. Pledged assets As at 30

the Company, entered into a loan agreement (“Loan Agreement-1”) with Henan Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. (“Henan Xinyuan Real Estate”, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Ultimate Holding Company (one of the
controlling shareholders of the Company)), pursuant to which, Xinyuan Science agreed to provide a loan up to RMB48 million (“Loan-1”) to Henan Xinyuan Real Estate, and Xinyuan (China) Real Estate, Ltd. (an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Ultimate Holding Company) agreed to provide an irrevocable and unconditional guarantee for Loan-1. Interest shall be accrued on the outstanding principal of Loan-1 at the rate of 8% per
annum starting from 17 August 2021, being the date on which Xinyuan Science made a one-time disbursement to Henan Xinyuan Real Estate (“Disbursement Date-1”) and ending on the date of full payment of Loan-1. Henan
Xinyuan Real Estate shall pay to Xinyuan Science the entire amount of outstanding interest incurred from Loan-1 on the interest payment date of each quarter. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, Loan-1 and the
accrued interest thereon shall be repaid in full on the second anniversary from Disbursement Date-1 (i.e. 16 August 2023). As Henan Xinyuan Real Estate is the indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Ultimate Holding
Company, Henan Xinyuan Real Estate is a connected person of the Company, and thus Loan Agreement-1 constitutes a connected transaction of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Please refer to the
Company’s announcement dated 13 August 2021 for details. (ii) On 27 September 2021, the Company and the Ultimate Holding Company entered into a property exclusive sales cooperation agreement (the “Property Exclusive

extraordinary general meeting (“Disbursement Date-2”). Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, Loan-2 and the accrued interest thereon shall be repaid in full on the second anniversary from Disbursement Date-2. As Henan
Xinyuan Real Estate is the indirect whollyowned subsidiary of the Ultimate Holding Company, Henan Xinyuan Real Estate is a connected person of the Company, and thus the Loan Agreement 2 constitutes a connected
transaction of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to the Rules 14.22 and 14.23 of the Listing Rules, Loan Agreement-1 and Loan Agreement-2 shall be aggregated as if they were one
transaction because they were completed within a 12-month period by the Company with parties who are connected with one another. Upon aggregation, as the highest applicable percentage ratio is more than 5% but less than

Governing the Listing of Securities (the “Listing Rules”) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock

computation adopted in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements were consistent with those adopted in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the

major operating entities of the Group are domiciled in the PRC. Accordingly, all of the Group’s revenue was derived in the PRC during the periods. As at 30 June 2021, all of the non-current assets were located in the

FINANCIAL INFORMATION 4. REVENUE (CONTINUED) Performance obligations For property management
services and pre-delivery and consulting services, the Group recognises revenue in the amount that equals to the right to invoice which corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Group’s
performance to date. The Group has elected the practical expedient for not to disclose the remaining performance obligations for these types of contracts. The majority of the property management service contracts
do not have a fixed term. The terms of the contracts for pre-delivery and consulting services are generally set to expire when the counterparties notify the Group that the services are no longer required. For
value-added services, they are rendered in a short period of time and there is no unsatisfied performance obligation at the end of the respective periods. 5.
