Year ended 31 December 2014 Compared to Year ended 31 December 2013
Revenue
Our revenue for the year ended 31 December 2014 amounted to approximately RMB945.3 million, representing an increase of 38.8% from approximately RMB681.3 million recorded in 2013. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by the increase in paying players, mainly as a result of our effective monetization measures, especially in our mobile games.
In terms of revenue by game forms, our continued shift in our strategic focus from web-based games to mobile games has contributed to a significant increase in revenue generated from our mobile games. For the year ended 31 December 2014, revenue generated from our mobile games amounted to approximately RMB535.8 million as compared to approximately RMB275.1 million in 2013, representing a growth of approximately 94.8% and which accounted for approximately 56.7% of our total revenue in 2014 (2013: 40.4% of our total revenue).
In terms of revenue by language versions of games, our continued efforts in enhancing our games with localized features during the year has contributed to the continued increase in revenue attributable to our games offered in language version of simplified Chinese. For the year ended 31 December 2014, revenue generated from language versions of simplified Chinese grew 96.4% from approximately RMB217.0 million in 2013 to approximately RMB426.2 million in 2014, which accounted for approximately 45.1% and 31.8% of our total revenue in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Cost of revenue
Our cost of revenue increased by 42.4% from approximately RMB265.1 million in 2013 to approximately RMB377.5 million in 2014 primarily due to the increase in commission fees paid to our payment collection channels in line with the increase in revenue and the increase in the average commission fees charge rate. The increase in cost of revenue was also attributable to an increase in employee benefit expenses resulting from the increase in the number of our game development staff and operations support staff.
Gross profit and gross profit margin
As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by 36.4% from approximately RMB416.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 to approximately RMB567.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2014. Our gross profit margin in 2014 was basically flat as compared to that of 2013, fell into normal business volatility range resulting from the adjustment to our product mix.
Selling and marketing expenses
Our selling and marketing expenses increased by 21.0% from approximately RMB147.7 million in 2013 to approximately RMB178.7 million in 2014, accounting for 18.9% of our revenue in 2014 decreased from 21.7% in 2013. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was mainly attributable to the increase in advertising and promotional activities for expanding our games in existing markets and potential markets, as well as the increase in employee benefit expenses resulting from the increase in headcount of our selling and marketing department.
Administrative expenses
Our administrative expenses increased by 5.4% from approximately RMB111.4 million in 2013 to approximately RMB117.4 million in 2014, accounting for 12.4% of our revenue in 2014 decreased from 16.4% in 2013. The increase in administrative expenses was mainly due to the increase in employee benefit expenses resulting from the increase in headcount.
Other gains - net
We recorded other gains - net of approximately RMB54.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2014, which primarily consisted of return on short-term investments, government subsidies and tax rebates. For the year ended 31 December 2013, we recorded other gains - net of approximately RMB19.1 million.

Our net finance income was approximately RMB2.1 million in 2014 and we recorded net finance costs of approximately RMB11.6 million in 2013. The change was primarily due to the fair value change of liability component of Series A Preferred Shares, which was recorded for 2013 but not for 2014 as Series A Preferred Shares were converted into ordinary shares immediately prior to our listing on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange").
Share of profit of associates
We held investments in five associates, namely Shenzhen Fanhou Technology Co., Ltd ("Fanhou"), RaySns Technology Co., Ltd ("RaySns"), Shanghai Teqi Internet Technology Co., Ltd. ("Teqi"), HuifuWorld and Gangyun as at 31 December 2014 (31 December 2013: three), all of which were Internet or online game companies. We recorded a share of profit of associates of approximately RMB6.2 million and RMB0.2 million for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Income tax expense
Our income tax expense increased by 89.6% from approximately RMB29.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 to approximately RMB55.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2014, primarily due to the increase in profit before income tax from approximately RMB164.7 million in 2013 to approximately RMB335.0 million in 2014. The effective income tax rate decreased from approximately 17.7% in 2013 to approximately 16.5% in 2014 is primarily due to the decrease of the share-based compensation expense and fair value change of liability component of Series A Preferred Shares which were non-tax deductible items.
Profit for the year
As a result of the foregoing, our profit attributable to owners of the Company increased by 106.7% from approximately RMB135.5 million in 2013 to approximately RMB280.1 million in 2014.
Non-IFRS Measure - Adjusted net profit
To supplement our consolidated financial statements which are presented in accordance with IFRS, we also use unaudited non-IFRS adjusted net profit as an additional financial measure to evaluate our financial performance by eliminating the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of the performance of our business. The term of adjusted net profit is not defined under IFRS. Other companies in the industry the Group operates in may calculate such non-IFRS item differently from the Group. The use of adjusted net profit has material limitations as an analytical tool, as adjusted net profit does not include all items that impact our net profit for the year and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Group's results as reported under IFRS.
Our unaudited non-IFRS adjusted net profit for the year ended 31 December 2014 was derived from our net profit for the same period excluding share-based compensation expenses of approximately RMB10.5 million, RMB4.0 million and RMB12.1 million included in cost of revenue, selling and marketing expenses and administrative expenses, respectively. Our unaudited non-IFRS adjusted net profit for the year ended 31 December 2013 was derived from our net profit for the same period excluding share-based compensation expenses of approximately RMB18.7 million, RMB7.1 million and RMB21.5 million included in cost of revenue, selling and marketing expenses and administrative expenses, respectively, and fair value change of liability component of Series A Preferred Shares of approximately RMB16.9 million included in finance costs, and listing-related expenses of approximately RMB18.9 million included in administrative expenses.
All of the Series A Preferred Shares of the Company were fully converted into ordinary shares immediately prior to our listing in November 2013. In addition, all listing-related expenses had been paid in full and had been duly accounted for in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013. Accordingly, the Company did not incur any further fair value change of liability component of Series A Preferred Shares or listing-related expenses for the year ended 31 December 2014.
Liquidity and capital resources
In 2014, we financed our operations primarily through cash generated from our operating activities as well as the net proceeds we received from the global offering completed in November 2013. We intend to finance our expansion and business operations by internal resources and through organic and sustainable growth.
Cash and cash equivalents
As at 31 December 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately RMB1,029.3 million (31 December 2013: approximately RMB965.6 million), which primarily consisted of cash at bank and in hand and which were mainly denominated in Renminbi (as to 92.7%), US dollars (as to 4.8%) and other currencies (as to 2.5%). We currently do not hedge transactions undertaken in foreign currencies. Due to our persistent efforts in managing our exposure to foreign currencies through constant monitoring to limit as much as possible the amount of foreign currencies held by us, fluctuations in currency exchange rates do not have any material adverse impact on our financial results.
Net proceeds from our initial public offering, after deducting the underwriting commission and other estimated expenses in connection with the offering which the Company received amounted to approximately HK\$837.9 million. Up to 31 December 2014, a total amount of RMB112.5 million from the net proceeds from our initial public offering had been utilized for expanding our marketing and promotion activities and equity investments. The unutilized net proceeds has been deposited into short-term demand deposits in the bank account maintained by the Group as well as used in money markets instruments which are principal protected and with guaranteed return.

As at 31 December 2014, we had short-term investments of approximately RMB370.0 million (31 December 2013: RMB223.0 million). The short-term investments that we have made represent investments in certain money market instruments in the form of principal and return-guaranteed products denominated in Renminbi offered by certain commercial banks in China and have a term ranging from six months to twelve months. The outstanding short-term investments will mature before end of April 2015 and no new money market instruments have been purchased by the Group since November 2014. The effective interest rate for the short-term investments that we have made in the year ended 31 December 2014 was 6.2% (for the year ended 31 December 2013: 6.0%), and the returns on such short-term investments amounted to approximately RMB44.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 (for the year ended 31 December 2013: RMB4.8 million).
The short-term investments were made for treasury management purpose and were made in line with our treasury policies, after taking into account, among others, the level of risk, return on investment, liquidity and the term to maturity. The Company decided and as agreed with the financial institutions offering the short-term investments, all the short-term investments were represented by interbank bonds and cash deposits which were highly liquid.
Borrowings
During the year ended 31 December 2014, we did not have any short-term or long-term bank borrowings and we had no outstanding, utilized or unutilized banking facilities.
Capital expenditures
For the year ended 31 December 2014, our total capital expenditure amounted to approximately RMB54.7 million (2013: approximately RMB7.4 million), mainly including payment for equity investments of RMB43.8 million (2013: nil), which was funded by using the net proceeds from our initial public offering; and purchasing of additional furniture and equipment, motor vehicles, leasehold improvements and computer software of RMB10.9 million (2013: approximately RMB7.4 million), which was funded by using our cash flow generated from our operations.
Contingent liabilities and guarantees

Material acquisitions and future plans for major investment
During the year ended 31 December 2014, the Group has completed four equity investments. On 16 June 2014, we entered into an agreement with HuifuWorld pursuant to which we acquired 15% equity interest in HuifuWorld at a consideration of RMB5.0 million.

On 18 September 2014, the Group entered into a share purchase agreement with YaoYaoCity pursuant to which we acquired 15% equity interest in YaoYaoCity at a consideration of RMB9.9 million. On 8 November 2014, the Group acquired 51% equity interest in Allin Interactive International Limited and, thereby acquired 51% interest in Allin Group, at a consideration of RMB10.0 million. In the coming future, the Group will continue to identify new opportunities for business development.
Proposed disposal of available-for-sale financial assets and associate
On 13 February 2015, our subsidiary, Shenzhen Dong Fang Bo Ya Technology Co., Ltd. ("Boyaa Shenzhen"), Mr. Dai Zhikang and other shareholders of Blingstorm Entertainment Ltd. (晶合思動(北京)科技有限公司, "Blingstorm") (as vendors) entered into a share purchase agreement ("Blingstorm SPA") with OurPalm Co., Ltd (北京掌趣科技股份有限公 司, "OurPalm") (as purchaser), pursuant to which Boyaa Shenzhen, Mr. Dai Zhikang and other shareholders of Blingstorm agreed to dispose of 100% equity interests in Blingstorm to OurPalm. The completion of the proposed disposal is subject to certain conditions. The preliminary consideration for the disposal of Boyaa Shenzhen's 9.36% equity interest in Blingstorm is RMB80,145,000, which is subject to adjustment. If agreement on the adjustment cannot be reached by the parties to the Blingstorm SPA, the Blingstorm SPA will be terminated and therefore the proposed disposal may or may not be completed. For details, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 15 February 2015. The investment cost of the Group for its 9.36% equity interest in Blingstorm was RMB4,600,000 and due to the significant loss reported by Blingstorm in 2012 and 2013, full impairment had been made against the investment cost as at 31 December 2012 and 2013. In light of the proposed disposal and the possible recovery of the value of the investment, an independent valuer was appointed to estimate the fair value of the investment in Blingstorm as at 31 December 2014. The fair value of the investment was approximately RMB61,325,000.
On 23 March 2015, Boyaa Shenzhen and other shareholders of RaySns Technology Co., Ltd. (雷尚(北京)科技有限公司, "RaySns") (as vendors) entered into a share purchase agreement ("RaySns SPA") with Dalian Kemian Wood Industry Co., Ltd. (大連科冕木業股份有限公司, "Kemian") (as purchaser), pursuant to which Boyaa Shenzhen and other shareholders of RaySns agreed to dispose of 100% equity interests in RaySns to Kemian. The completion of the proposed disposal is subject to certain conditions. The consideration for the disposal of Boyaa Shenzhen's 16% equity interest in RaySns is RMB126,719,991.09 which shall be satisfied by the issue and allotment of 2,385,093 shares in Kemian with par value of RMB1.00 each to Boyaa Shenzhen. Upon completion of the transaction under the RaySns SPA, Boyaa Shenzhen will receive 2,385,093 shares in Kemian and the Group's investment in RaySns will need to be remeasured at fair value and be transferred to available-for-sale financial assets (representing the 2,385,093 shares in Kemian that Boyaa Shenzhen shall hold then). Assuming the fair value of the Group's investment in RaySns on the completion date of the transactions would be equal to the current consideration of RMB126,719,991.09, and with reference to carrying value of the Group's investment in RaySns as at 31 December 2014, there would be a pre-tax revaluation gain of RMB116,181,449.21. For details, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 23 March 2015.

Pledge of assets
As at 31 December 2014, none of the Group's assets was pledged.
Employees and staff cost

SHARE OPTION SCHEMES AND RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT SCHEME
Post-IPO Share Option Scheme
On 23 October 2013, a share option scheme (the "Post-IPO Share Option Scheme") of the Company was approved and adopted by the Shareholders.
The Post-IPO Share Option Scheme shall be valid and effective for a period of ten years commencing on 12 November 2013 (the "Listing Date"), after which period no further options will be granted but the provisions of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme shall remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of any options granted prior thereto which are at that time or become thereafter capable of exercise under the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme, or otherwise to the extent as may be required in accordance with the provisions of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme.
The purpose of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme is to incentivize and reward the employees (whether full time or parttime) or directors of members of the Group or associated companies of the Company (the "Eligible Persons") for their contribution to the Group and to align their interests with that of the Company so as to encourage them to work towards enhancing the value of the Company. Pursuant to the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme, the Board (including any committee or delegate of the Board appointed by the Board to perform any of its functions pursuant to the rules of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme) may, at its absolute discretion, offer to grant an option to subscribe for such number of Shares as the Board may determine to an Eligible Person.
The maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all options to be granted under the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes (including but not limited to the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme, as defined below, the "Other Schemes") of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Listing Date (the "Scheme Mandate Limit") (being 73,755,912 Shares). Therefore, as at 31 December 2014, the total number of Shares which may be issued on the exercise of options granted and to be granted under the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme and any Other Schemes is 73,755,912, representing approximately 9.7% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this annual report. Options lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme and any Other Schemes of the Company will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit.
At any time, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and not yet exercised under the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme and any Other Schemes of the Company to Eligible Persons must not exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time. Unless approved by the Shareholders in a general meeting, the total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon the exercise of the options granted to each Eligible Person (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding options) in any 12-month period shall not exceed 1% of the Shares in issue.
An offer of options shall be open for acceptance for such period (not exceeding 30 days inclusive of, and from, the date of offer) as the Board may determine and notify to the Eligible Person concerned provided that no such offer shall be open for acceptance after the expiry of the duration of the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme. An offer of options not accepted within this period shall lapse. An amount of HK\$1.00 is payable upon acceptance of the grant of an option and such payment shall not be refundable and shall not be deemed to be a part payment of the exercise price.
Any option shall be vested on an option-holder immediately upon his acceptance of the offer of options provided that if any terms and conditions are specified in the offer of the option, such option shall only be vested on an option-holder according to such terms and conditions. Such terms and conditions may include any vesting schedule and/or conditions, any minimum period for which any option must be held before it can be exercised and/or any performance target which need to be achieved by an option-holder before the option can be exercised. Any vested option which has not lapsed and which conditions have been satisfied or waived by the Board in its sole discretion may, unless the Board determines otherwise in its absolute discretion, be exercised at any time from the next business day after the offer of options has been accepted. Any option which remain unexercised shall lapse upon the expiry of the option period, which period shall be determined by the Board and shall not exceed ten years from the offer date of the option.
The exercise price shall be such price as determined by the Board and notified to an option-holder and which shall not be less than the higher of:
- (i) the closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange's daily quotation sheets on the date of offer of the option;
- (ii) the average of the closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange's daily quotation sheets for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of offer of the option; and
- (iii) the nominal value of the Shares.
As at 31 December 2014, no option has been granted or agreed to be granted under the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme.
Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme
On 7 January 2011, the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme of the Company was approved and adopted by the Board, which was subsequently amended on 17 September 2013.
The purpose of the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme is to enable the Company to grant pre-IPO options to employees, officers and directors of or consultant to any member of the Group (the "Eligible Participants") as recognition and acknowledgement of the contributions that such Eligible Participants have made or may make to the Group or any affiliates. An Eligible Participant whom an option is granted in accordance with the terms of the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme (the "Grantee") is not required to pay for the grant of any option under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme.
No Grantee shall be entitled to any rights, interest or benefits attached to the underlying Shares of the options granted under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme unless and until the option in respect of such Shares has been vested on him and exercised in accordance with the terms of the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme.
An option shall not be exercisable on any date unless such terms and conditions (including, without limitation, any performance target(s) or condition(s) up which the exercise of the option shall be conditional), if any, are satisfied and to the extent that the option has vested.
The exercise price in respect of any option granted under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme shall be fixed with reference to the fair market value of the underlying Share on the date upon which the option is granted, and subject to any adjustments, shall be:
- (i) the latest valuation price per Share certified by an independent valuer engaged by the Company for such purpose prior to the date of grant of the relevant option; or
- (ii) the latest price per Share at which the Company has issued any Shares prior to the date of grant of the relevant option,
unless the Company otherwise determines and so notifies the Grantee in writing.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the rules of the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme or any notice of grant or the terms on which any option is granted or vested, any Shares allotted upon the exercise of the option in accordance with the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme will, in all cases, be held by a nominee as designated by the Company (the "Nominee") for the Grantees. The Company has appointed The Core Trust Company Limited as the trustee to assist with the administration and vesting of the options granted pursuant to the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme and The Core Admin Boyaa Option Limited, a company wholly-owned by the Trustee, as the Nominee to hold the Shares to be allotted to the Grantees upon the exercise of the option in accordance with the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme.
An option, whether vested or unvested, shall automatically lapse and expire with no rights and benefits on the day falling on the eighth anniversary of the date of vesting of the relevant option or such earlier date as the Board may have determined prior to the grant of the relevant option.
All of the options granted under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme were granted in four batches in 2011 and 2012. As at 31 December 2014, options to subscribe for an aggregate of 8,827,506 Shares (representing approximately 1.2% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this annual report) have been granted by the Company under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme. There were altogether 56 option holders including an executive Director and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, a director of Boyaa Interactive (Thailand) Limited ("Boyaa Thailand") (a subsidiary of the Company), six members of senior management of the Group and 48 other employees of the Group. Details of movements in the options under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme are set out in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.
Details of the options granted under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme and details of the vesting period, exercise period, the exercise price and the movements in options during the year ended on 31 December 2014 are set out in the section headed "Details of the options granted under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme and the RSUs granted under the RSU Scheme" below.
No further options have been granted under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme after the Listing Date.

On 17 September 2013, the RSU Scheme of the Company was approved and adopted by the Board.
The purpose of the RSU Scheme is to incentivize Directors, senior management and employees for their contribution to the Group, to attract, motivate and retain skilled and experienced personnel to strive for the future development and expansion of the Group by providing them with the opportunity to own equity interests in the Company.
Persons eligible to receive RSUs under the RSU Scheme are existing employees, directors (whether executive or nonexecutive, but excluding independent non-executive directors) or officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries ("RSU Eligible Persons"). The Board selects the RSU Eligible Persons to receive RSUs under the RSU Scheme at its discretion.
The RSU Scheme will be valid and effective for a period of eight years, commencing from the date of the first grant of the RSUs, being 4 March 2013 (unless it is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms) (the "RSU Scheme Period").
The maximum number of RSUs that may be granted under the RSU Scheme in aggregate (excluding RSUs that have lapsed or been cancelled in accordance with the rules of the RSU Scheme) shall be such number of Shares held or to be held by the RSU Trustee (as defined below) for the purpose of the RSU Scheme from time to time.
The Board can determine the vesting criteria, conditions and the time schedule when the RSUs will vest and such criteria, conditions and time schedule shall be stated in the letter granting such RSUs. Within a reasonable time after the vesting criteria, conditions and time schedule have been reached, fulfilled, satisfied or waived, our Board will send a vesting notice ("Vesting Notice") to each of the relevant participant in the RSU Scheme (the "RSU Participants"). The Vesting Notice will confirm the extent to which the vesting criteria, conditions and time schedule have been reached, fulfilled, satisfied or waived, and the number of Shares (and, if applicable, the cash or non-cash income, dividends or distributions and/or the sale proceeds of non-cash and non-scrip distributions in respect of those Shares) involved.
The Company has appointed The Core Trust Company Limited (the "RSU Trustee") as the trustee to assist with the administration and vesting of RSUs granted pursuant to the RSU Scheme. The Company may (i) allot and issue Shares to the RSU Trustee to be held by the RSU Trustee and which will be used to satisfy the RSUs upon exercise and/or (ii) direct and procure the RSU Trustee to receive existing Shares from any Shareholder or purchase existing Shares (either on-market or off-market) to satisfy the RSUs upon exercise.
RSUs held by a RSU Participant that are vested as evidenced by the Vesting Notice may be exercised (in whole or in part) by the RSU Participant serving an exercise notice in writing on the RSU Trustee and copied to the Company. Upon receipt of an exercise notice, the Board may decide at its absolute discretion to:
- (a) direct and procure the RSU Trustee to, within a reasonable time, transfer the Shares underlying the RSUs exercised (and, if applicable, the cash or non-cash income, dividends or distributions and/or the sale proceeds of non-cash and non-scrip distributions in respect of those Shares) to the RSU Participant which the Company has allotted and issued to the RSU Trustee as fully paid up Shares or which the RSU Trustee has either acquired by purchasing existing Shares or by receiving existing Shares from any Shareholder, subject to the RSU Participant paying the exercise price (where applicable) and all tax, stamp duty, levies and charges applicable to such transfer to the RSU Trustee or as the RSU Trustee directs; or
- (b) pay, or direct and procure the RSU Trustee to, within a reasonable time, pay, to the RSU Participant in cash an amount which represents the value of the Shares underlying the RSUs exercised on or about the date of exercise (and, if applicable, the cash or non-cash income, dividends or distributions and/or the sale proceeds of non-cash and nonscrip distributions in respect of those Shares) less any exercise price (where applicable) and after deduction of any tax, levies, stamp duty and other charges applicable to the sale of any Shares to fund such payment and in relation thereto.

Continuing Connected Transactions
Reference is made to the prospectus of the Company dated 31 October 2013. The Company, as a foreign investor, is prohibited from holding equity interest in Boyaa Shenzhen, the PRC operating entity of the Company, which conducts the online games business and is considered to be engaged in the provision of value-added telecommunications services as a result of the operations of our website. As a result, the Group, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Boyaa On-line Game Development (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. ("Boyaa PRC"), has entered into a series of contractual arrangements (the "Contractual Arrangements") with Boyaa Shenzhen such that the Group can conduct its business operations indirectly in the PRC through Boyaa Shenzhen while complying with applicable PRC law and regulations. The Contractual Arrangements are designed to provide the Group with effective control over the financial and operational policies of Boyaa Shenzhen and, to the extent permitted by PRC law and regulations, the right to acquire the equity interests in and/or the assets of Boyaa Shenzhen through Boyaa PRC. As the Group operates its online games business through Boyaa Shenzhen, which is controlled by Mr. Zhang Wei and the Group does not hold any direct equity interest in Boyaa Shenzhen, the Contractual Arrangements were entered into on 15 May 2013 pursuant to which all material business activities of Boyaa Shenzhen are instructed and supervised by the Group, through Boyaa PRC, and all economic benefits and risks arising from the business of Boyaa Shenzhen are transferred to the Group.
The Contractual Arrangements currently in effect comprise of six agreements, namely (a) the Exclusive Business Consulting and Service Agreement, (b) the Business Operating Agreement, (c) the Exclusive Option Agreement, (d) the Equity Pledge Agreement, (e) the Intellectual Properties License Agreement and (f) the Loan Agreement, which were entered into between or amongst Boyaa Shenzhen, Boyaa PRC, Mr. Zhang Wei and/or Mr. Dai Zhikang (as the case may be).
Mr. Zhang Wei is a substantial Shareholder and an executive Director. He is therefore a connected person of the Company under Rule 14A.07(1) of the Listing Rules. Boyaa Shenzhen is owned as to 98% by Mr. Zhang Wei and hence an associate of Mr. Zhang Wei. Boyaa Shenzhen is therefore a connected person of the Company under Rule 14A.07(4) of the Listing Rules. In addition, Mr. Dai Zhikang is an executive Director and therefore a connected person of the Company under Rule 14A.07(1) of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the Contractual Arrangements constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules.
Contractual Arrangements

Independent Auditor's Report


To the Shareholders of Boyaa Interactive International Limited
(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Boyaa Interactive International Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") set out on pages 56 to 146, which comprise the consolidated and company balance sheets as at 31 December 2014, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 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.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view 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 entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independent Auditor's Report

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Boyaa Interactive International Limited (the "Company") was incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The address of its registered office is PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands. The Company's shares have been listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited since 12 November 2013 (the "Listing").
The Company is an investment holding company. The Company and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") are principally engaged in the development and operations of online card and board game business in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), Hong Kong and other countries and regions.
The operations of the Group were initially conducted through Shenzhen Dong Fang Bo Ya Technology Co., Ltd. ("Boyaa Shenzhen"), a limited liability company established in the PRC by certain shareholders of the Company on 13 February 2004. Boyaa Shenzhen is controlled by Mr. Zhang Wei (the "Founder").
Pursuant to applicable PRC laws and regulations, foreign investors are prohibited from holding equity interest in an entity conducting online games business and are restricted to conduct value-added telecommunications services. In order to make investments into the business of the Group, the Company established a subsidiary, Boyaa On-line Game Development (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. ("Boyaa PRC"), which is a wholly foreign owned enterprise incorporated in the PRC on 29 November 2010.
Boyaa PRC, Boyaa Shenzhen and its then owners entered into a series of contractual arrangements (the "Contractual Arrangements"), which enable Boyaa PRC and the Group to:
- exercise effective financial and operational control over Boyaa Shenzhen;
- exercise owners' voting rights of Boyaa Shenzhen;
- receive substantially all of the economic interest returns generated by Boyaa Shenzhen in consideration for the business support, technical and consulting services provided by Boyaa PRC;
- obtain an irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase all or part of equity interests in Boyaa Shenzhen from the respective owners at a minimum purchase price permitted under PRC laws and regulations, and all or part of the assets of Boyaa Shenzhen at the net book value of such assets or such minimum purchase price permitted under PRC laws and regulations. Boyaa PRC may exercise such options at any time until it has acquired all equity interests and/or all assets of Boyaa Shenzhen; and
- obtain a pledge over the entire equity interest of Boyaa Shenzhen from their respective owners as collateral security for all of Boyaa Shenzhen's payments due to Boyaa RPC and to secure performance of Boyaa Shenzhen's obligations under the Contractual Arrangements.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION(Continued)
The Group does not have any equity interest in Boyaa Shenzhen. However, as a result of the Contractual Arrangements, the Group has rights to variable returns from its involvement with Boyaa Shenzhen and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over Boyaa Shenzhen and is considered to control Boyaa Shenzhen. Consequently, the Company regards Boyaa Shenzhen as an indirect subsidiary for accounting purpose.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi ("RMB"), unless otherwise stated.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and the liability component of the Series A Preferred Shares, which were carried at fair value.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the applicable requirements of the predecessor Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32) for this financial year and the comparative period.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise their judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
2.1.1 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
- (a) New and revised standards and amendments to existing standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2014 and are relevant to the Group
- Amendment to HKAS 32, "Financial instruments: Presentation" on offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. This amendment clarifies that the right of set-off must not be contingent on a future event. It must also be legally enforceable for all counterparties in the normal course of business, as well as in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy. The amendment also considers settlement mechanisms. This amendment did not have a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.1 Basis of preparation (Continued)
- (a) New and revised standards and amendments to existing standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2014 and are relevant to the Group (Continued)
- Amendment to HKAS 36, "Impairment of assets", on the recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets. This amendment removed certain disclosures of the recoverable amount of CGUs which had been included in HKAS 36 by the issue of HKFRS 13. This amendment did not have a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
- Amendment to HKAS 39, "Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement" on the novation of derivatives and the continuation of hedge accounting. This amendment considers legislative changes to "over-the-counter" derivatives and the establishment of central counterparties. Under HKAS 39 novation of derivatives to central counterparties would result in discontinuance of hedge accounting. The amendment provides relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a hedging instrument meets specified criteria. This amendment did not have a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
- IFRIC 21 "Levies", sets out the accounting for an obligation to pay a levy if that liability is within the scope of IAS 37 "Provisions". The interpretation addresses what the obligating event is that gives rise to the payment a levy and when a liability should be recognized. This amendment did not have a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

2.1 Basis of preparation (Continued)
- (b) New and revised standards and amendments to existing standards that have been issued and are relevant to the Group, but are not effective for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2014 and have not been early adopted
- Annual improvements 2012, which include changes from the 2010-2012 cycle of the annual improvements project, that affect the following standards: IFRS 8, 'Operating segments'. IAS 16, 'Property, plant and equipment' and IAS 38, 'Intangible assets'. IAS 24, 'Related party disclosures'. These amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 and the Group is yet to assess the impact of these amendments on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
- Annual improvements 2013, which include changes from the 2011-2013 cycle of the annual improvements project that affect the following standards: IFRS 3, 'Business combinations', IFRS 13, 'Fair value measurement' and IAS 40, 'Investment property'. These amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 and the Group is yet to assess the impact of these amendments on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
- Amendment to IFRS 11 on accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations. The amendment requires an investor to apply the principles of business combination accounting when it acquires an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a 'business' (as defined in IFRS 3, Business combinations. Specifically, an investor will need to: measure identifiable assets and liabilities at fair value; expense acquisition-related costs; recognize deferred tax; and recognize the residual as goodwill. All other principles of business combination accounting apply unless they conflict with IFRS 11. The amendment is applicable to both the acquisition of the initial interest and a further interest in a joint operation. The previously held interest is not remeasured when the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation with joint control maintained. This amendment will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and the Group is yet to assess the impact of this amendment on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

- Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 on clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortization. The amendments clarify when a method of depreciation or amortization based on revenue may be appropriate. The amendment to IAS 16 clarifies that depreciation of an item of property, plant and equipment based on revenue generated by using the asset is not appropriate. The amendment to IAS 38 establishes a rebuttable presumption that amortization of an intangible asset based on revenue generated by using the asset is inappropriate. The presumption may only be rebutted in certain limited circumstances: where the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue; or where it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated. These amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and the Group is yet to assess the impact of this amendment on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
- Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 on the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments address an inconsistency between IFRS 10 and IAS 28 in the sale and contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. A full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business. A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if those assets are in a subsidiary. These amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and the Group is yet to assess the impact of this amendment on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
- Amendment to IAS 27 on the equity method in separate financial statements. The amendment allows entities to use equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. This amendment will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and the Group is yet to assess the impact of this amendment on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

- Annual improvements 2014, which include changes from the 2012-2014 cycle of the annual improvements project that affect the following standards: IFRS 5, "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations", IFRS 7, "Financial instruments: Disclosures", IAS 19, "Employee benefits" and IAS 34, "Interim financial reporting". These amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2016 and the Group is yet to assess the impact of these amendments on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
- IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers". IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining when to recognize revenue and how much revenue to recognize through a 5-step approach: (1) Identify the contract(s) with customer; (2) Identify separate performance obligations in a contract (3) Determine the transaction price (4) Allocate transaction price to performance obligations and (5) recognize revenue when performance obligation is satisfied. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It moves away from a revenue recognition model based on an "earnings processes" to an "asset-liability" approach based on transfer of control. IFRS 15 provides specific guidance on capitalization of contract cost and license arrangements. It also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts with customers. IFRS 15 replaces the previous revenue standards: IAS 18 Revenue and IAS 11 Construction contracts, and the related interpretations on revenue recognition: IFRIC 13 Customer loyalty programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the construction of real estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of assets from customers and SIC-31 Revenue - barter transactions involving advertising services. This amendment will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 and the Group is yet to assess the impact of this amendment on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

- IFRS 9 "Financial instruments". IFRS 9 (2014), "Financial instruments" replaces the whole of IAS 39. IFRS 9 has three financial asset classification categories for investments in debt instruments: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("OCI") and fair value through profit or loss. Classification is driven by the entity's business model for managing the debt instruments and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However, management can make an irrevocable election to present changes in fair value in OCI, provided the instrument is not held for trading. If the equity instrument is held for trading, changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss. For financial liabilities there are two classification categories: amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss. Where non-derivative financial liabilities are designated at fair value through profit or loss, the changes in the fair value due to changes in the liability's own credit risk are recognized in OCI, unless such changes in fair value would create an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, in which case, all fair value movements are recognized in profit or loss. There is no subsequent recycling of the amounts in OCI to profit or loss. For financial liabilities held for trading (including derivative financial liabilities), all changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss. IFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses – the expected credit losses ("ECL") model, which constitutes a change from the incurred loss model in IAS 39. IFRS 9 contains a 'three stage' approach, which is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. Assets move through the three stages as credit quality changes and the stages dictate how an entity measures impairment losses and applies the effective interest rate method. The new rules mean that on initial recognition of a non-credit impaired financial asset carried at amortized cost a day-1 loss equal to the 12-month ECL is recognized in profit or loss. In the case of accounts receivables this day-1 loss will be equal to their lifetime ECL. Where there is a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL. IFRS 9 applies to all hedging relationships, with the exception of portfolio fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The new guidance better aligns hedge accounting with the risk management activities of an entity and provides relief from the more "rule-based" approach of IAS 39. This amendment will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and the Group is yet to assess the impact of this amendment on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

2.1.1 Changes in accounting policy and disclosures (Continued)
(c) New Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap.622)
In addition, the requirements of Part 9 "Accounts and Audit" of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) come into operation as from the Company's first financial year commencing on or after 3 March 2014 in accordance with section 358 of that Ordinance. The Group is in the process of making an assessment of expected impact of the changes in the Companies Ordinance on the consolidated financial statements in the period of initial application of Part 9 of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622). So far it has concluded that the impact is unlikely to be significant and only the presentation and the disclosure of information in the consolidated financial statements will be affected.
2.2 Subsidiaries
2.2.1 Consolidation
A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
(a) Business combinations
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation are measured at either fair value or the present ownership interests' proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests are measured at their acquisition date fair value, unless another measurement basis is required by IFRS.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.2 Subsidiaries (Continued)
2.2.1 Consolidation (Continued)
(a) Business combinations (Continued)
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss.
Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Group's accounting policies.
(b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners of the subsidiary in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying amount of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.2 Subsidiaries (Continued)
2.2.2 Separate financial statements
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable.
Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee's net assets including goodwill.
2.3 Associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition. Upon the acquisition of the ownership interest in an associate, any difference between the cost of the associate and the group's share of the net fair value of the associate's identifiable assets and liabilities is accounted for as goodwill.
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
The Group's share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of postacquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognizes the amount adjacent to 'share of profit of investments accounted for using equity method' in profit or loss.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.3 Associates (Continued)
Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its associate are recognized in the Group's financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor's interests in the associates. Unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Gain or losses on dilution of equity interest in associates are recognized in profit or loss.
2.4 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive directors that makes strategic decisions.
2.5 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The functional currency of the Company is United States dollars ("USD"). The Company's primary subsidiaries were incorporated in the PRC and these subsidiaries considered Renminbi ("RMB") as their functional currency. As the game development and operation of the Group have been within the PRC, the Group determined to present the consolidated financial statements in RMB, unless otherwise stated.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income within "finance income or costs". All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income within "other gains - net".

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.5 Foreign currency translation (Continued)
(c) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
- assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
- income and expenses for each statements of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
- all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Currency translation differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.
2.6 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their costs to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Leasehold improvements | Estimated useful lives or remaining lease terms, whichever is shorter |
|---|---|
| Motor vehicles | 4 - 5 years |
| Furniture and office equipment | 3 years |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.6 Property, plant and equipment (Continued)
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 2.8).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within "other gains - net", in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
2.7 Intangible assets
(a) Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units ("CGUs"), or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of the CGU containing the goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
(b) Computer software
Computer software is initially recognized and measured at cost less amortization. Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software, and are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 5 years.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.7 Intangible assets (Continued)
(c) Research and development expenditures
Research expenditure is recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are capitalized as intangible assets when recognition criteria are fulfilled. These criteria includes: (1) it is technically feasible to complete the game product so that it will be available for use; (2) management intends to complete the game product and use or sell it; (3) there is an ability to use or sell the game product; (4) it can be demonstrated how the game product will generate probable future economic benefits; (5) adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the game product are available; and (6) the expenditure attributable to the game product during its development can be reliably measured. Other development expenditures that do not meet those criteria are recognized as expenses as incurred. During the year ended 31 December 2014, there were no development costs meeting these criteria and capitalized as intangible assets (2013: nil).
Development costs previously recognized as expenses are not recognized as assets in subsequent periods. Capitalized development costs are amortized from the point at which the assets are ready for use on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.
(d) Trademarks and technical know-how
Trademarks and technical know-how acquired in a business combination are initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. They have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademarks and technical know-how over their estimated useful lives of 10 years.
2.8 Impairment of non-financial assets
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life or intangible assets not ready to use are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.9 Financial assets
2.9.1 Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available-for sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by the directors of the Company. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.
(b) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for the amounts that are settled or expected to be settled more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group's loans and receivables comprise "trade receivables", "other receivables", "short-term investments" and "cash and cash equivalents" in the consolidated balance sheet.
(c) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months of the end of the reporting period.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.9 Financial assets (Continued)
2.9.2 Recognition and measurement
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date - the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" category are presented in profit or loss within "other gains - net" in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss as part of other income when the Group's right to receive payments is established.
When securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as "other gains - net".
2.10 Impairment of financial assets
(a) Assets carried at amortized cost
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a "loss event") and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.10 Impairment of financial assets (Continued)
(a) Assets carried at amortized cost (Continued)
For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in profit or loss. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument's fair value using an observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
(b) Assets classified as available for sale
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.
For debt securities, if any such evidence exists the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
For equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in profit or loss on equity instruments are not reversed through profit or loss.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.11 Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment.
2.12 Cash and cash equivalents
In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
2.13 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Where any group company purchases the Company's equity share capital (treasury shares), the considerations paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company's owners until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company's owners.
The accounting policies applicable for the Series A Preference Shares issued by the Company are described in Note 2.17(b) below.
2.14 Trade and other payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade and other payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade and other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.15 Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(a) Current income tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
(b) Deferred income tax
Inside basis differences
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Outside basis differences
Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Generally the Group is unable to control the reversal of the temporary difference for associates. Only when there is an agreement in place that gives the Group the ability to control the reversal of the temporary difference in the foreseeable future, deferred tax liability in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from the associate's undistributed profits is not recognized.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.

2.15 Current and deferred income tax (Continued)
(c) Offsetting
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income tax levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
2.16 Employee benefits
(a) Employee leave entitlements
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the balance sheet date.
Employee entitlements to sick and maternity leave are not recognized until the time of leave.
(b) Pension obligations
The Group companies incorporated in the PRC contribute based on certain percentage of the salaries of the employees to a defined contribution retirement benefit plan organized by relevant government authorities in the PRC on a monthly basis. The government authorities undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations payable to all existing and future retired employees under these plans and the Group has no further obligation for post-retirement benefits beyond the contributions made. Contributions to these plans are expensed as incurred. Assets of the plans are held and managed by government authorities and are separate from those of the Group.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.17 Share-based payments
(a) Equity-settled share-based payment transactions
The Group operates a number of equity-settled, share-based compensation plans, under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments of the Group. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options and restricted shares units ("RSUs") is recognized as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options and RSUs granted:
- including any market performance conditions (for example, an entity's share price);
- excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets and remaining as an employee of the entity over a specified time period); and
- including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (for example, the requirement for employees to serve).
Non-market performance and service conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options and RSUs that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.
In addition, in some circumstances employees may provide services in advance of the grant date and therefore the grant date fair value is estimated for the purposes of recognizing the expense during the period between service commencement date and grant date.
Where there is modification of terms and conditions which increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted (for example, by reducing the exercise price of share options), the Group includes the incremental fair value granted in the measurement of the amount recognized for the services received over the remainder of the vesting period. The incremental fair value is the difference between the fair value of the modified equity instrument and that of the original equity instrument, both estimated as at the date of the modification. An expense based on the incremental fair value is recognized over the period from the modification date to the date when the modified equity instruments vest in addition to any amount in respect of the original instrument, which should continue to be recognized over the remainder of the original vesting period.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options and RSUs that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing performance and service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
When the options and RSUs are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium.

2.17 Share-based payments (Continued)
(b) Share-based payments treatments applied to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares
The difference between the identifiable consideration received by the Company from the issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares and the fair value of the Series A Preferred Shares at the time of issuance was recognized in profit or loss immediately as the value of the services received from the holders.
The shares issued were accounted for as a compound financial instrument which had a liability component (i.e. the preferred share shareholder's right to demand payment in cash) and an equity component (i.e. the preferred share shareholder's right to demand settlement in the Company's shares).
The Company first measured the fair value of the liability component, and the residual was recognized as the equity component. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the liability component of the Series A Preferred Shares was stated at fair value, with changes recorded in profit or loss under "financial costs net". The equity component was not re-measured subsequent to its initial recognition.
(c) Share-based payment transactions among group entities
The grant by the Company of options and RSUs over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiaries in the Group is treated as a capital contribution. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognized over the vesting period as an increase to investments in subsidiaries, with a corresponding credit to equity in the parent entity accounts.
2.18 Revenue recognition
The Group's revenue is primarily derived from the sales of in-game virtual tokens ("Game Tokens") and other virtual items in its game development operations ("Game Development") through cooperation with various third-party game distribution platforms and payment vendors. These game distribution platforms include major social networking websites (such as Facebook), online application stores (such as Apple Inc.'s App Store and Google Play installed in mobile telecommunications devices), web-based and mobile game portals and prepaid game card distributors in certain countries and regions (collectively referred to as "Platforms"). Revenue reported in the consolidated financial statements is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
In cooperation with Platforms, the Group is responsible for hosting the games, providing on-going updates of new contents, technical support for the operations of the games, as well as preventing, detecting and resolving in-game cheating and hacking activities. Platforms are responsible for distribution, marketing, platform maintenance, payer authentication and payment collections related to the games.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.18 Revenue recognition (Continued)
The Group's games are free to play and players can purchase Game Tokens or other virtual items for better ingame experience. Players purchase the Group's Game Tokens or other virtual items ("Paying Players") through Platforms' own charging systems or their accounts maintained with third party payment vendors, or charging from the prepaid game cards they purchased. Platforms and third party payment vendors collect the payment from the Paying Players and remit the cash net of commission charges which are pre-determined according to the relevant terms of the agreements entered into between the Group and Platforms or third party payment vendors.
Upon the sales of Game Tokens or other virtual items, the Group typically has an implied obligation to provide the services which enable the Game Tokens or other virtual items to be displayed or used in the games. As a result, the proceeds received from sales of Game Tokens or other virtual items are initially recorded as deferred revenue, while the proceeds received from sales of prepaid game cards are initially recorded as advance received from sales of prepaid game cards in trade and other payables. This advance is then transferred to deferred revenue when the game cards are activated by the players, i.e. the first time the players use the prepaid game cards to credit their game accounts. The attributable portion of the deferred revenue relating to values of the Game Tokens consumed and other virtual items purchased are immediately or ratably recognized as revenue only when the services are rendered to the respective Paying Players.
For the purposes of determining when services have been provided to the respective Paying Players, the Group has determined the following:
- Consumable virtual items represent items that are extinguished after consumption in the form of fixed charges levied on each round of games played. The Paying Players will not continue to benefit from the virtual items thereafter. Revenue is recognized (as a release from deferred revenue) when the items are consumed and the related services are rendered.
- Durable virtual items represent items that are accessible and beneficial to Paying Players over an extended period of time. Revenue is recognized ratably over the average life of durable virtual items for the applicable game, which the Group makes best estimates to be average playing period of Paying Players ("Player Relationship Period").
The Group estimates the Player Relationship Period on a game-by-game and platform-by-platform basis and re-assesses such periods semi-annually. If there is insufficient data to determine the Player Relationship Period, such as in the case of a newly launched game, it estimates the Player Relationship Period based on other similar types of games developed by the Group or by third-party developers until the new game establishes its own patterns and history. The Group considers the games profile, target audience, and its appeal to players of different demographics groups in estimating the Player Relationship Period.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.18 Revenue recognition (Continued)
If the Group does not have the ability to differentiate revenue attributable to durable virtual items from consumable virtual items for a specific game, the Group recognizes revenue from both durable and consumable virtual items for that game ratably over the Player Relationship Period.
The Group has evaluated the roles and responsibilities of the Group and Platforms or third party payment vendors in the delivery of game experience to the Paying Players and concluded the Group takes the primary responsibilities in rendering services. The Group is determined to be the primary obligor and accordingly, the Group records revenue on a gross basis, and commission charges by Platforms or third party payment vendors are recorded as cost of revenue.
2.19 Interest income
Interest income mainly represents interest income from bank deposits and is recognized using effective interest method.
2.20 Dividend income
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.
2.21 Government grants
Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
Government grants relating to property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred government grants and are credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.
2.22 Operating leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
2.23 Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company's ordinary shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group's and the Company's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders.
3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
3.1 Financial risk factors
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize the potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the senior management of the Group and approved by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board").
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to RMB and USD. The Group currently does not hedge transactions undertaken in foreign currencies but manages its exposure through constant monitoring to limit as much as possible the amount of its foreign currencies exposures. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The Finance Department is responsible for monitoring and managing the net position in each foreign currency.
For the two PRC subsidiaries, Boyaa On-line Game Development (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. ("Boyaa PRC") and Shenzhen Dong Fang Bo Ya Technology Co., Ltd. ("Boyaa Shenzhen") whose functional currencies are RMB, if USD had strengthened/weakened by 5% against RMB with all other variables held constant, the post-tax profit for the year ended 31 December 2014 would have been approximately RMB1,531,000 higher/lower (2013: RMB1,647,000), mainly as a result of net foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of net monetary assets denominated in USD. For group companies outside of the PRC whose functional currencies are USD or Hong Kong dollars ("HKD"), if RMB had strengthened/weakened by 5% against USD and HKD with all other variables held constant, the post-tax profit for the year ended 31 December 2014 would have been approximately RMB6,074,000 higher/lower (2013: RMB40,247,000) mainly as a result of net foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of net monetary assets denominated in RMB.
3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT(Continued)
3.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)
(a) Market risk (Continued)
(ii) Interest rate risk
Other than interest-bearing bank deposits and loans to employees, the Group has no other significant interest-bearing assets. Loans to employees were issued at fixed rates and expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The directors of the Company do not anticipate there is any significant impact to interest-bearing bank deposits resulted from the changes in interest rates, because the interest rates of bank balances are not expected to change significantly.
(iii) Price risk
The Group is exposed to price risk because of investments held by the Group, which are classified as fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk.
The sensitivity analysis is determined based on the exposure to price risk of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale at the end of balance sheet date. If the fair values of the respective instruments held by the Group classified as fair value through profit or loss had been 5% higher/lower, the post-tax profit for the year ended 31 December 2014 would have been approximately RMB990,000 higher/lower (2013: RMB4,681,000). If the fair values of the respective instruments held by the Group classified as available-for-sale had been 5% higher/lower, the other components for equity for the year ended 31 December 2014 would have been approximately RMB3,199,000 higher/lower (2013: nil).
(b) Credit risk
The Group is exposed to credit risk in relation to its cash and deposits, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, available-for-sale financial assets as well as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
The carrying amounts of each class of the above financial assets represent the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. To manage this risk arising from cash and deposits, short-term investments, available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the Group only transacts with state-owned financial institutions and reputable commercial banks which are all high-credit-quality financial institutions in the PRC and Hong Kong. There has been no recent history of default in relation to these financial institutions.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT(Continued)
3.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)
(b) Credit risk (Continued)
Trade receivables at the end of each reporting period were due from the Platforms and third-party payment vendors in cooperation with the Group. If the strategic relationship with the Platforms and thirdparty payment vendors is terminated or scaled-back; or if the Platforms and third-party payment vendors alter the co-operative arrangements; or if they experience financial difficulties in paying the Group, the Group's Game Development receivables might be adversely affected in terms of recoverability. To manage this risk, the Group maintains frequent communications with the Platforms and third-party payment vendors to ensure effective credit control. In view of the history of cooperation with the Platforms and third-party payment vendors and the sound collection history of receivables due from them, the directors of the Company believe that the credit risk inherent in the Group's outstanding trade receivable balances due from the Platforms and third-party payment vendors is low.
For other receivables, management makes periodic collective assessments as well as individual assessment on the recoverability of other receivables based on historical settlement records and past experience. The directors of the Company believe that there is no material credit risk inherent in the Group's outstanding balance of other receivables.
(c) Liquidity risk
The Group aims to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group's finance department maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalents.
The table below analyses the Group and the Company's non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT(Continued)
3.2 Capital risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to enhance shareholders' value in the long term.
The Group monitors capital (including share capital and share premium) by regularly reviewing the capital structure. As a part of this review, the directors of the Company consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with the issued share capital. The Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or repurchase the Company's shares. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the Group's capital risk is low.
3.3 Fair value estimation
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).
The following table presents the Group's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at 31 December 2014 and 2013:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RMB'000 | RMB'000 | RMB'000 | RMB'000 | |

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT(Continued)
3.3 Fair value estimation (Continued)
(a) Financial instruments in level 1
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is determined based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
(b) Financial instruments in level 2
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- Dealer quotes for similar instruments; and
- Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for financial instruments.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.
(a) Estimates of the Player Relationship Period in the Group's Game Development
As described in Note 2.18, the Group recognizes revenue from durable virtual items ratably over the Player Relationship Period. The determination of Player Relationship Period in each game is based on the Group's best estimate that takes into account all known and relevant information at the time of assessment. Such estimates are subject to re-evaluation on a semi-annual basis. Any adjustments arising from changes in the Player Relationship Period as a result of new information will be accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.
(b) Recognition of share-based compensation expenses
The fair values of share options granted are measured on the respective grant dates based on the fair value of the underlying shares. In addition, the Group is required to estimate the expected percentage of grantees that will remain in employment with the Group or, where applicable, if the performance conditions for vesting will be met at the end of the vesting period. The Group only recognizes an expense for those share options and RSUs expected to vest over the vesting period during which the grantees become unconditionally entitled to these share-based awards. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could have a material effect on the determination of the fair value of the share options and RSUs and the amount of such share-based awards expected to become vested, which may in turn significantly impact the determination of the share-based compensation expenses.
The fair value of share options and RSUs at the time of grant is to be expensed over the vesting period of these share-based awards based on an accelerated graded attribution approach. Under the accelerated graded attribution approach, each vesting installment of a graded vesting award is treated as a separate share-based award, which means that each vesting installment will be separately measured and attributed to expense, resulting in accelerated recognition of share-based compensation expense. Based on the fair value of the share-based awards, the expected turnover rate of grantees and the probability that the performance conditions for vesting are met, the corresponding share-based compensation expense recognized by the Group in respect of their services rendered for the year ended 31 December 2014 was approximately RMB26,590,000 (2013: RMB47,372,000).

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS(Continued)
4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (Continued)
(c) Fair values of the investments in Blingstorm and YaoYaoCity
The directors of the Company have used the discounted cash flow method to determine the fair values of the investments in Blingstorm and YaoYaoCity as at 31 December 2014. Key assumptions used to determine the fair values of the investment in Blingstorm and YaoYaoCity are disclosed in Note 11 and Note 15, respectively.
The estimated fair value of the investment in Blingstorm as at 31 December 2014 would have been approximately RMB3,100,000 lower or higher should the discount rate used in the discount cash flow analysis be higher/lower by 100 basis points from management's estimate.
The estimated fair value of the investment in YaoYaoCity as at 31 December 2014 would have been approximately RMB658,000 lower or higher should the discount rate used in the discount cash flow analysis be higher/lower by 100 basis points from management's estimate.
4.2 Critical judgments in applying the Group's accounting policies
(a) Current and deferred income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in several jurisdictions. There are many transactions and events for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgment is required from the Group in determining the provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
(b) Restrictions on ordinary shares held by the Founder
As described in details in Note 29(a), the Founder, Sequoia Capital and the Company entered into a share restriction agreement on 7 January 2011 that the Founder agreed to have certain of his shares held in the Company be subject to certain restrictions. Such restrictions would be uplifted according to an agreed vesting schedule with a condition that the Founder had to remain as an employee of the Group. The directors of the Company considered that the restrictions and vesting of these shares did not give rise to any additional value and benefits to the Founder and therefore the arrangement had not been accounted for as share-based payments in accordance with IFRS 2 "Share-based payments" ("IFRS 2").

(a) In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC and the Articles of Association of Boyaa Shenzhen, it is required to appropriate 10% of the annual statutory net profits after offsetting any prior years' losses as determined under the PRC accounting standards, to the statutory surplus reserve fund before distributing the net profit. When the balance of the statutory surplus reserve fund reaches 50% of the registered capital, any further appropriation is at the discretion of shareholders. The statutory surplus reserve fund can be used to offset prior years' losses, if any, and may be converted into capital, provided that the remaining balance of the statutory surplus reserve fund after such conversion is no less than 25% of the registered capital.
In addition, in accordance with the Law of the PRC on Enterprises with Foreign Investments and the stipulated provisions in the Articles of Association of Boyaa PRC, appropriation from net profits (after offsetting accumulated losses brought forward from prior years) should be made by Boyaa PRC to its reserve funds. The percentage of net profit to be appropriated to the reserve fund is not less than 10% of the net profit. When the balance of the reserve fund reaches 50% of the registered capital, such transfer needs not be made.

The above repurchase was accounted for as a transaction between the Company and its then shareholder and therefore, the Difference was debited to "other reserves".
20. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
(a) Share options
On 7 January 2011, the Board of the Company approved the establishment of a share option scheme (the "Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme") with the objective to recognize and reward the contribution of eligible directors and employees to the growth and development of the Group.
The exercise price in respect of any option shall be fixed by reference to the fair value of the ordinary shares on the date upon which the option is granted, and subject to any alteration in the capital structure of the Company whilst any option remains exercisable, arising from capitalization of profits or reserves, consolidation, subdivision or reduction of the share capital of the Company. The contractual life of all options under Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme is eight years from the grant date.

20. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS(Continued)
(a) Share options (Continued)
(i) Grant of share options
On 1 February 2011, 2 March 2012, 1 July 2012 and 1 November 2012, the Group granted 50,415,000 ("Tranche I"), 775,000 ("Tranche II"), 1,180,000 ("Tranche III") and 6,760,563 ("Tranche IV") share options to its employees and directors, respectively. The numbers of the above share options have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the share splits in prior years.
The vesting period of the share options granted is 4 years and the vesting schedules is 25% after 12 months from the grant date, 12.5% after 18 months from the grant date, 12.5% after 24 months from the grant date, and 2.083% from each month of 25 to 48 months from the grant date.
The options may be exercised provided that the grantees continue to be employed by the Group.
The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to repurchase or settle the options in cash.
(ii) Replacement of certain share options with RSUs
On 4 March 2013, the Group modified the then existing share option scheme such that 25,195,000, 362,500, 590,000 and 3,380,282 of share options granted under Tranche I, Tranche II, Tranche III and Tranche IV of the scheme, respectively, were replaced by the same number of RSUs under the RSU Scheme (see Note (b) below). The major changes are that there is no consideration payable by the grantees for the RSUs, while there were assigned exercise prices for the options exchanged. Such changes represent a modification of the instruments granted for share based payments and resulted in an aggregate incremental fair value of approximately RMB9,700,000.

(c) Fair value of share options and RSUs
The directors of the Company appointed an independent valuer, Avista Valuation Advisory Limited, to estimate the fair values of the above share options and RSUs as at the respective grant dates and modification date. The fair values of the share options were determined using the Binominal model. The fair values of the share options granted on 1 February 2011, 2 March 2012, 1 July 2012 and 1 November 2012 were approximately RMB11,239,000, RMB445,000, RMB769,000 and RMB6,436,000, respectively. The fair value of the RSUs was determined using the income approach/discounted cash flow method and the aggregate fair value of the RSUs granted on 4 March 2013 was assessed to be approximately RMB85,000,000.
The key assumptions used in the valuation of share options are set out in the table below:
| Grant on 1 February |
Grant on 2 March |
Grant on 1 July |
Grant on 1 November |

| Discount for lack of control | 15.0% | 15.0% | 15.0% | 15.0% |
The key assumptions used in the valuation of the RSUs on the grant date are set out in the table below:
| Discount rate (%) | 26.2% |
|---|---|
| Discount for lack of control (%) | 5.0% |
(d) Expected retention rate of grantees
The Group has to estimate the expected yearly percentage of grantees that will stay within the Group at the end of vesting periods of the shares options (the "Expected Retention Rate") in order to determine the amount of share-based compensation expenses charged to the statement of comprehensive income. As at 31 December 2014, the Expected Retention Rate was assessed to be 85% (2013: 85%).

20. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS(Continued)
(e) Shares held for RSU Scheme
Pursuant to a resolution passed by the Board of the Company on 17 September 2013, the Company set up a RSU Scheme. On 11 October 2013, the Company entered into a trust deed with The Core Trust Company Limited (the "RSU Trustee") and The Core Admin Boyaa RSU Limited (the "RSU Nominee"), pursuant to which the RSU Trustee shall act as the administrator of the RSU Scheme and the RSU Nominee shall hold the shares underlying the RSU Scheme.
On 23 October 2013, Boyaa Global transferred 35,769,526 of the Company's ordinary shares held by it to the RSU Nominee at nil consideration. On 23 October 2013, the Company also issued 70,967,664 ordinary shares to the RSU Nominee at a par value of US\$0.00005 each, with the consideration amounting to approximately RMB22,000 being funded by the Founder. Accordingly, 106,737,190 ordinary shares of the Company underlying the RSUs as at 31 December 2013 were held by the RSU Nominee for the benefit of eligible participants pursuant to the RSU Scheme. During the year, 1,314,000 of RSUs were vested and transferred (Note (b) above), and as a result, 105,423,190 ordinary shares of the Company underlying the RSUs were held by the RSU Nominee as at 31 December 2014.
The above shares held for RSU Scheme were regarded as treasury shares and had been deducted from shareholders' equity; the costs of these shares totaling approximately RMB33,000 as at 31 December 2013 were credited to "other reserves" as deemed contribution from shareholders (Note 18). As a result of the vesting of 46,062,853 of RSUs during the year ended 31 December 2014 (see Note (b) above), approximately RMB14,000 of other reserves was transferred to share premium upon vesting of these RSUs under the RSU Scheme.

23. SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES
On 30 September 2010, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with certain investors Sequoia Capital and its affiliates, namely Sequoia Capital China II, L.P., Sequoia Capital China Partners Fund II, L.P. and Sequoia Capital China Principals Fund II, L.P. (collectively defined as "Sequoia Capital"), and pursuant to which, the Company issued 6,478,873 shares (equal to 129,577,460 shares after the three share splits in 2011 and 2012) of Series A Preferred Shares at a price of USD0.9261 per share with total amount of USD6,000,084. The issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares closed on 7 January 2011.
On 12 November 2013, upon the Listing of the Company on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, all the 129,577,460 Series A Preferred Shares were automatically converted into ordinary shares, on a onefor-one basis.
In conjunction with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares, Sequoia Capital also undertook to offer various consulting and advisory services to the Company in preparing it for the Listing. As a result, the Series A Preferred Shares were issued to Sequoia Capital at certain discount from the then assessed fair value, and these shares issued have been accounted for as share-based payments in accordance with IFRS 2.
According to the terms of the Series A Preferred Shares, the Company did not have the unconditional right to avoid delivering cash. Therefore, the Series A Preferred Shares had been accounted for as a compound financial instrument which included the following two components:
- A liability component (i.e. the preferred share shareholder's right to demand payment in cash under the redemption feature or liquidation preferences); and
- An equity component (i.e. the preferred share shareholder's right to demand settlement in the Company's shares through exercising its conversion right).
The Company first measured the fair value of the liability component, and the residual amount of the compound financial instrument was recognized as the equity component. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the liability component of the Series A Preferred Shares was stated at fair value, with changes recorded in profit or loss under "finance income/(costs) - net". The equity component was not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition.
The movement of the liability component of the Series A Preferred Shares for the year ended 31 December 2013 was set out below:
| RMB'000 | |

29. EARNINGS PER SHARE
(a) Basic
Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the profit of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, excluding ordinary shares held for the RSU Scheme which are treated as treasury shares.
| 2014 RMB'000 |
2013 RMB'000 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Profit attributable to owners of the Company Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue (thousand shares) |
280,065 665,739 |
135,507 311,226 |
| Basic earnings per share (expressed in RMB cents per share) | 42.07 | 43.54 |
As a closing condition to the share purchase agreement ("SPA"), on 7 January 2011, the Founder, Sequoia Capital and the Company, entered into a share restriction agreement ("Share Restriction Agreement"). Pursuant to the Share Restriction Agreement, certain ordinary shares ("Restricted Shares") of the Company held by the Founder were subject to vesting conditions and repurchase right of the Company until the Restricted Shares become vested. The Restricted Shares should automatically vest on the Founder and be released from the restrictions over a period of 48 months after the closing of the SPA in 48 monthly equal lots provided that the Founder remains as an employee of the Group at the time of vesting. Vesting of all Restricted Shares would be accelerated upon the Listing.
As these Restricted Shares were contingently returnable prior to the Listing, they were not treated as outstanding and were excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share. Had these shares not been put on escrow with the Company as Restricted Shares, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue for the year ended 31 December 2013 for purpose of computing the basic earnings per share would be 397,714,000, and the basic earnings per share would be RMB34.07 cents per share for the year ended 31 December 2013.

(b) Diluted (Continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2013, the Company had four categories of dilutive potential ordinary shares, share options, RSUs, the Restricted Shares and Series A Preferred Shares. For the share options and RSUs, a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company's shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to the outstanding share options and RSUs. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options and RSUs. Restricted Shares were assumed to have been fully vested from the beginning of the reporting period to the date of Listing and released from restrictions with no impact on earnings. The Series A Preferred Shares are assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares from the beginning of the reporting period to the conversion date, and the net profit is adjusted to eliminate the fair value change in the liability component.
For the year ended 31 December 2014, the Company had two categories of dilutive potential ordinary shares, share options and RSUs.
