3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

The application of the Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in HKFRS Standards and the amendments to HKFRSs in the current year had no material impact on the Group’s financial positions and performance for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Information reported to the Chief Executive Officer, being the chief operating decision maker (“ CODM ”), for the purpose of resources allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on types of services provided.
The Group has two reportable operating segments, which are (a) Events Operation and Marketing; and (b) Sports Services.
The Group’s operating and reportable segments are as follows:
Events Operation and Marketing Providing mainly marketing services in conjunction with sportsrelated competitions. Types of revenue include mainly corporate sponsorship income.

The Group’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.
Segment results are measured as gross profit/(loss) of each segment without allocation of selling and distribution expenses, general and administrative expenses, finance costs, other income, other losses, share of results of associates and income tax (expense)/credit. This is the measure reported to the CODM for the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessment.
No segment assets or liabilities information or other segment information is provided as the CODM does not review this information for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.
No geographical segment information is presented as all the sales and operating losses of the Group are derived within the PRC and all the operating assets of the Group are located in the PRC, which is considered as one geographic location with similar risks and returns.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Group Overview
2020 was a difficult year for athletes because the worldwide spread of the novel coronavirus (the “ COVID-19 ”) pandemic materially impacted the sports industry. Due to the need to strictly control the spread of the pandemic, the operation of the global sports industry and major international and domestic events were cancelled or postponed. The sports industry therefore became a land of wailing and despairs, and many participants in the sports industry had to wait for the end of the pandemic before sports events would be resumed.
As an operator of many marathon events in the PRC, the Group was also materially and adversely impacted by the pandemic. As marathons are regarded as highly crowded gathering events, only a few marathon events were allowed to be held throughout 2020. Given the pressure of pandemic prevention and control, governments in many cities decided to postpone the holding of the marathon events to avoid mass people movement and gathering caused by the events, which would increase the risk of spreading the pandemic. The holding of the marathon events to which the Group had operating rights were also postponed at the decision of the governments in the cities where such events should have been held during the period stipulated in the contracts. As such, the Group made efforts to meet the needs of runners by holding online running events including the Nanchang Marathon (南昌馬拉松) and the Shenzhen Marathon (深圳馬拉松) to compensate for the disappointment from the postponement of other marathon events.
Taking into account various factors such as the severity and high infectivity of the pandemic, the management of the Group accurately predicted the prolonged outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020, and promptly decided to reduce the operating costs of the Company and prepare for the “cold winter” during the outbreak of the pandemic. Unless necessary, our staff were required to stay home in order to reduce the chances of being contracted with COVID-19 while maintaining the smooth operation of the Company at the lowest costs and expenses to maintain healthy cash flow position and improve its core competitiveness in the industry so that the Company can restart quickly after the pandemic.
Under the current situation, the Group successfully won the bid for the operating rights of the Lu’an Marathon (六安馬拉松), held the online events in relation to the Nanchang Marathon (南昌馬拉松) and the Shenzhen Marathon (深圳馬拉松), and participated in the bidding for the operating rights of the Rongcheng Marathon (榮成馬拉松) and other projects. The events operated by the Company won many awards from the International Association of Athletics Federations and the Chinese Athletics Association (中國田徑協會). Among them, the Shenzhen International Marathon (深圳國際馬拉松) was once again named an international gold label track race, and the Nanchang International Marathon (南昌國際馬拉松) and the Changsha International Marathon (長沙國際馬拉松) were named the international silver label track races; while in the selection activities organised by the Chinese Athletics Association* (中國田徑協會), the Company received 11 honours, including six gold medal events, two silver medal events, one bronze medal event and two characteristic events. The Group has always maintained a leading position among the marathon operators in the PRC.
- 16 -
Meanwhile, the Group constantly conducts market research for obtaining new projects, including market opportunities in paddle sports, winter sports, youth training and other fields, and prepares basic research and market analysis for project planning in related fields for 2021.
On this basis, the Group is also purchasing wealth management and financial products to earn capital gains to replenish the operating cash flow of the Company. The Group continues to capture investment opportunities in sports, finance and other related fields, aiming to create a two-wheel driving development model in the “sports + finance” field.
Outlook of the Industry and the Group
At the beginning of 2021, pandemic prevention and control in the PRC achieved great success, and rapidly made breakthroughs in the research, development and vaccination of vaccines, which brought the pandemic under a preventable and controllable situation. For the sports industry and enterprises in the industry, the most difficult time has passed. Although the Chinese Athletics Association* (中國 田徑協會) still does not approve the holding of marathon events before 31 March 2021 in the PRC, people are confident that the sports competitions and market will gradually reopen after March 2021 and it is expected that there will be a rebound from the lowermost.
The Group has also actively made work deployment for this year based on its judgment of the situation. In particular, the Group has arranged staff to resume working in the office in an orderly manner, carried out overall planning and marketing preparations for the events that remain within the contract terms, connected with local governments, actively conducted event development, participated in bidding and tendering, and focused on the exploration of small-scale events, enterprise customised events and other fields on top of the original large-scale urban marathon events to avoid the adverse impact of the pandemic on large-scale crowd gathering events. The Group believes that it will be able to bring more innovative sports events with its sincerity to runners in 2021. Meanwhile, according to the experience of the rapid development of sports performance industry after the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic in 2003, the Group believes that active participation in the projects within the athletic performance field will effectively improve the profitability of the Group.
Although the pandemic dragged down the development of the sports industry, for sports event operators such as the Group and participants in the sports industry, our passion and obsession for sports have never diminished, and we are still positive and optimistic about the long-term and rapid development of the sports industry in the future.

Revenue
The Group’s revenue decreased by approximately 94.4% to RMB8.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 from RMB159.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2019, which was mainly due to the fact that the sports events could not be organised as scheduled as a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result of the aforementioned factors, the gross loss of the Group decreased by approximately 98.6% to RMB0.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 from RMB27.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2019, and the gross loss margin decreased to approximately 4.5% for the year ended 31 December 2020 from 17.4% for the year ended 31 December 2019. The changes in both gross loss and gross loss margin were mainly due to the fact that the sports events could not be organised as scheduled as a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Details based on reportable segments are as follows:
-
As a result of the foregoing changes in revenue and cost of services of the Events Operation and Marketing segment, the Group recorded a gross profit for the Events Operation and Marketing segment of RMB0.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 as compared to a gross loss of RMB48.9 million recorded for the year ended 31 December 2019, representing an increase of approximately 101.4% in gross profit.

Selling and Distribution Expenses
The Group’s selling and distribution expenses decreased by approximately 91.6% to RMB1.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 from RMB22.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. The decrease was mainly attributable to the optimisation of labour cost by the Group and the decrease in promotion and marketing consultancy fees due to the fact that the sports events could not be organised as scheduled as a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
General and Administrative Expenses
The Group’s general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately 33.1% to RMB45.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 from RMB68.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. This decrease was mainly due to the enhancement of daily expenses management and optimisation of labour cost by the Group.

The Group’s other losses decreased by approximately 97.5% to net losses of RMB10.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 from the net losses of RMB397.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. The decrease in losses was mainly due to: (i) the impairment of the goodwill under the Events Operation and Marketing cash-generating unit (“ CGU ”) and the Sports Services CGU during last year; (ii) the write-off of an exclusive operating right to a “Running in China” (奔跑中 國) marathon event under intangible assets of Beijing Shangde Da’ai Sports Co., Ltd. (北京上德大 愛體育有限公司)(“ SDDA ”), a subsidiary of the Company during last year; and (iii) the increase in gain on disposals of listed equities of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Loss before Income Tax
As a result of the foregoing, the Group’s loss before income tax decreased by 91.8% to RMB40.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 from RMB499.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2019.
Income Tax Credit
The Group’s income tax expense was RMB5.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 while the income tax credit was RMB15.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. The change was mainly due to the reversal of deferred tax liability upon the write-off of an exclusive operating right to a “Running in China”* (奔跑中國) marathon event under intangible assets of SDDA during last year.
Loss Attributable to the Owners of the Company
As a result of the foregoing, the loss attributable to the owners of the Company decreased by 90.3% to RMB44.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 from RMB455.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2019.
