MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Group Overview
Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (the “ COVID-19 ”) pandemic on a certain scale from time to time in 2021, major events in the sports industry have been deeply affected, and many events are still unable to be held as scheduled.
Many large-scale marathon events operated by the Group, including the Nanchang Marathon (南昌 馬拉松), the Shenzhen Marathon (深圳馬拉松), the Jinan Marathon (濟南馬拉松), the Tumushuke Marathon (圖木舒克馬拉松) in Xinjiang and the Lu’an Marathon* (六安馬拉松) in Anhui, for which a lot of preliminary preparations and engagements had been performed, had to be cancelled or postponed one after another due to the recurring pandemic.
However, even though offline events could not be held as scheduled due to the impact of the pandemic, the Group still actively carried out market activities such as market development and promotion of innovation, to lay a foundation for the long-term development of the Company and its event brand. During the year, the Group actively explored the operation model of online events, including trying to hold various themed events integrated with new media such as Douyin, WeChat official account, Weibo and other vertical applications, so as to accumulate practical experience for subsequent development and seek new sources of profit growth. After negotiation with the organisers and sponsors, the Group decisively initiated the auxiliary plan for online marathon events by successively holding the online events in relation to the Nanchang Marathon (南昌馬拉松), the Tumushuke Marathon (圖木舒克馬 拉松) and the Shenzhen Marathon* (深圳馬拉松) from October to December 2021. At the same time, the Group reserved the continuous operating rights to hold relevant offline events, which guaranteed the cooperation contracts with event sponsors, and also provided continuous services to players. At the end of 2021, the Group signed a marathon event extension service agreement with Nanchang City and Tumushuke City, respectively, ensuring that the Group’s interests in the events and related business benefits were not affected.

Outlook of the Industry and the Group
As a professional operator in China’s sports industry, the Group has accumulated extensive experience in safety assurance, medical care, hygiene and other aspects regarding the sports events in respect of the “five life protection lines”, and possesses very complete management process, facilities and equipment and professionals, which demonstrate the Group’s leading and exemplary role in the whole industry. Particularly, under the premise that a severe incident happened during the cross-country race held in Baiyin City, Gansu Province, China in May 2021 which drew much attention to the safety of sports events, such advantages were fully recognised by the competent authorities of industry, government organisers and industry partners, and also laid a good foundation for the subsequent cooperation with governments in large-scale sports events.
In addition, the Group also actively opened its resources, strengthened industry integration, and cooperated with other domestic event operators, event suppliers and media and intermediaries to operate events and share resources, so as to reduce event operating costs, expand sources and channels of business revenue, and overcome difficulties hand in hand. At present, the Group has reached comprehensive cooperation with local governments for sports and cultural activities in the southern Xinjiang region, and has planned to conduct long-term operations through mass sports activities (such as city games, and basketball and football league matches), youth sports training and selection (youth training bases, establishment of traditional sports schools and training camps) and the operation of sports and cultural venues.
In terms of cross-industry collaboration, the Group has opened its mind to establish strategic cooperation with large central enterprises and state-owned enterprises in China, and carried out aggressive exploration, research and promotion in urban sports infrastructure construction, and planning, construction, operation and maintenance of large-scale sports parks and sports industrial parks. In terms of industrial deployment, the Group has also adjusted the operational focus accordingly to strengthen other themed, small-scale, multi-frequency and high-frequency sports events and sports education and training business, and focus on cooperation with governments to undertake the engagements of governments for the service needs in the health industry, thereby surviving the winter of the pandemic at a low cost.
Meanwhile, the Group strictly controlled costs, so that resources could be used properly and cost effectiveness was optimised. The Group prudently managed its self-owned funds, and improved the return of its self-owned funds through moderate investment in bank wealth management and financial products, to strengthen the financial position of the Group.
- 15 -
The management expects that the pandemic will be gradually brought under control, economic activities will continue to resume, and people’s lives and national economic development will also enter the existing track and move forward. The “National Fitness Plan (2021-2025)” issued by the State Council of the PRC, sets out certain arrangements for the promotion of the development of national fitness at a higher level in the coming period to better meet the needs of the people for fitness and health, which also offers a rare opportunity for the Group. In this regard, the Group will adhere to the mission of “Wisdom in the mind and fitness in the body” to provide safe and high-quality sports products and services for hundreds of millions of sports enthusiasts, and will develop the industrial culture and create a social atmosphere for national fitness with the spirit of entrepreneurship, so as to promote the high-quality development of the sports industry which has broad prospects and promising future.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
During the reporting period, the Group had two business divisions which represented two reportable operating segments, namely:
-
(a) the Events Operation and Marketing segment, which mainly provides marketing services in conjunction with sports-related competitions. Its revenue includes mainly corporate sponsorship income; and
-
(b) the Sports Services segment, which provides services mainly to government, marathon runners and media companies in conjunction with sports-related competitions. Its revenue includes mainly live broadcasting and program production income, individual consumption income, and rental income from equipment.
Revenue
The Group’s revenue increased by approximately 37.1% to RMB12.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 from RMB8.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. Details based on reportable segments are as follows:
-
Revenue of the Events Operation and Marketing segment increased by 120.0% to RMB9.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 from RMB0.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. The increase was attributable to the fact that events during the contract period generated revenue during the preparatory period; and
-
Revenue of the Sports Services segment decreased by approximately 62.2% to RMB3.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 from RMB8.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. The decrease was mainly due to the disposal of a subsidiary in the second half of 2020, which resulted in a decrease in live broadcasting and program production income.
-
16 -
Cost of Services
The Group’s cost of services increased by approximately 33.3% to RMB12.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 from RMB9.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. Details based on reportable segments are as follows:
-
Cost of the Events Operation and Marketing segment increased by 100% to RMB12.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 from RMB Nil for the year ended 31 December 2020. The increase was due to the costs incurred during the preparation period for the events during the contract period; and
-
Cost of the Sports Services segment decreased by approximately 97.9% to RMB0.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 from RMB9.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. The decrease was mainly due to the disposal of a subsidiary in the second half of 2020, which resulted in a decrease in live broadcasting and program production cost.
Gross Loss and Gross Loss Margin
As a result of the aforementioned factors, the gross loss of the Group decreased by approximately 50.0% to RMB0.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 from RMB0.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2020, and the gross loss margin decreased to approximately 1.6% for the year ended 31 December 2021 from 4.5% for the year ended 31 December 2020. 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 loss for the Events Operation and Marketing segment of RMB3.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 as compared to a gross profit of RMB0.7 million recorded for the year ended 31 December 2020. The Group recognised a gross loss margin of 34.1% for the year ended 31 December 2021 as compared to a gross profit margin of 100.0% for the year ended 31 December 2020; and
-
As a result of the foregoing changes in revenue and cost of services of the Sports Services segment, the Group recorded a gross profit for the Sports Services segment of RMB2.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 as compared to a gross loss of RMB1.1 million recorded for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Selling and Distribution Expenses
The Group’s selling and distribution expenses increased by approximately 42.1% to RMB2.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 from RMB1.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increase in labour cost without waiver in social insurance, and increase in traveling expenses after the COVID-19 pandemic.
General and Administrative Expenses
The Group’s general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately 33.0% to RMB30.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 from RMB45.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. This decrease was mainly due to the disposal of a subsidiary in the second half of 2020, which resulted in reduced expenses.
Other Income
The Group’s other income increased by approximately 9.0% to RMB19.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 from RMB17.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. The increase was mainly attributable to the interest income receivable from the redemption clauses of the three financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Other Losses
The Group’s other losses increased by approximately 202.0% to net losses of RMB30.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 from the net losses of RMB10.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increase in allowance for impairment of other receivables.
Loss before Income Tax
As a result of the foregoing, the Group’s loss before income tax increased by 8.6% to RMB44.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2021 from RMB40.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2020.
