SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT IN RELATION TO DECISION OF THE GEM LISTING COMMITTEE
Reference is made to (i) the announcement of abc Multiactive Limited (the “ Company ”) dated 15 March 2021 in relation to, among others, the Decision of the Stock Exchange to suspend trading in the Shares pursuant Rule 9.04(3) of the GEM Listing Rules; (ii) the announcement of the Company dated 23 March 2021 in relation to, among others, the Company’s submission to the Stock Exchange to apply for the Decision to be referred to the GEM Listing Committee for review; and (iii) the announcement of the Company dated 13 July 2021 in relation to, among others, the decision of the GEM Listing Committee to uphold the Decision to suspend trading in the Shares under Rule 9.04(3) of the GEM Listing Rule (collectively, the “ Announcements ”). Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as those defined in the Announcements.
The Company would like to supplement that the GEM Listing Committee arrived at the LC’s Decision for, among others, the following reasons:
- (i) The Company is principally engaged in (a) sales and rental of computer software and provision of related services; (b) provision of software maintenance services to the existing customers of the sales and rental of computer software related business; and (c) sales of third parties’ software or solutions and computer hardware (together with (a) and (b), the “ Financial Solution Business ”). The Company also commenced (a) provision of secondment and recruitment services of IT professionals (the “ Fintech Resources Business ”) in 2017; and (b) provision of mortgage loan consultancy services through a mobile platform (the “ Consultancy Business ”) in 2020. The Company has operated the Financial Solution Business at a low level without substantial improvement in the past years. In recent years, the Company started Fintech Resources Business and Consultancy Business but these businesses are also small in scale. Given its minimal profit and scale of operation of the Company for the three months ended 28 February 2021 remained small, the GEM Listing Committee considered that the businesses of the Company is not viable and sustainable.

(ii) The GEM Listing Committee noted the Company’s effort to upgrade its principal software product, expand its customer base and product base with its regulatory technology related products, and enhance its marketing activities, as well as the contracts recently signed with a number of customers. The GEM Listing Committee considered that the scale of operation of the Financial Solution Business remained small with reference to the total contract sum and the forecasted revenue for the year ending 30 November 2021.
-
(iii) The Company tried to expand the Fintech Resources Business through the acquisition of Leadership Solutions Limited which was completed in March 2021. However, the GEM Listing Committee considered that Leadership Solutions Limited was small in size and recorded minimal profit for the two years ended 31 December 2020.
-
(iv) The GEM Listing Committee considered that the forecasted scale of operation of the Financial Solution Business and Fintech Resources Business would remain small and there is uncertainty on whether the forecast could be achieved for the year ending 30 November 2021.
-
(v) The GEM Listing Committee considered that the Company does not have sufficient level of assets to support its operations. As at 30 November 2020, the Company had total assets of approximately HK$12.1 million (including cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$4.4 million) and net liabilities of HK$25.2 million. Given the Company’s net loss for the year ended 30 November 2020 and net liabilities position as at 30 November 2020, the Company’s auditors have expressed in its opinion that there was material uncertainty relating to going concern.
