Rapid Development of Community Services
Potential Broke Out after Listing on HKEx
Based on the corporate philosophy of bringing “community service to the family” and constant improvement in service quality and customer satisfaction, Colour Life strived to develop its business rapidly in the first half of the year. As of June 30, 2014, Colour Life had 1,037 management service projects with an aggregated area of approximately 162 million sq.m., representing a growth of 68.6% and 76.8% as compared to 2013, respectively, which further consolidate its leading position in the industry.

On 30 June 2014, Colour Life was successfully listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and was hot sought-after by Qihoo 360 and other Internet tycoons. The market capital surpassed many real estate companies listed in Hong Kong. The listing of Colour Life opened a new chapter for Fantasia, indicating the excellent controlling capability and strong allocating abilities of the Company.

Colour Life is also a major achievement generated by the transformation of Fantasia Group. Hence, Fantasia has became the largest social community services operator in China. In the light of current development pace, Fantasia is expected to be the world’s No.1 operator in social community service. The Colour Life model is a success, setting itself as an example for future development of Fantasia’s other platforms.

Steady Expansion of Financial Business
Financial business is an important direction of Fantasia’s transformation. Since its operation from 2013 on China’s largest social platform owned by the Group, our financial sector innovatively adopts the internet finance model and focuses on the development of large scale financial holding system, financial platform and financial ecosystem of the Group so as to establish the financial value chain between major sectors of the Group and develops a distinctive model of “community finance”.

Furthermore, we refined the product type of our 1+N direct lease and leaseback products. The business development in the future will be optimistic.

Gradual Transformation for Real Estate Business
Fantasia has started to abandon the idea of pursuing scale for its property development, and rather focus on the idea of light asset operation which emphasizes economic efficiency and investment returns. Its property group made the best endeavor in moving beyond to the light asset industry, which has been the main theme of 2014. The Group divided its business into property fund and construction agency, with a major goal of converting to the mode of property fund. The changes thus heralded a brand new property development and light asset operation mode in Mainland China.

The transition of the mode of the property segment signified that the eight major business segments of Fantasia Group had been fully developed. Property fund will be a key financial service platform for Fantasia to develop itself into a financial holding group.
