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. Type of revenue includes mainly corporate sponsorship income.

Sports Services Providing services mainly to government, marathon runners and media companies in conjunction with sports-related competitions. Types of revenue include mainly live broadcasting and program production income, individual consumption income, and rental income from equipment.

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 gain or loss, share of results of associates, impairment loss on interest in an associate and income tax expense. 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.

  • 8 -

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

2022 is the third year of the novel coronavirus (the “ COVID-19 ”) pandemic raging in China, and the constant mutations of the virus have also brought unprecedented pressures to the pandemic prevention and control. From the lockdown of Shanghai metropolis to the peak of infection nationwide after the policy adjustment at the end of the year, herd immunity was finally achieved, thereby overcoming the pandemic and gradually returning to normal life and work.

The raging pandemic has brought offline events and large-scale activities to complete stagnancy, and impacted almost the entire industry to varying degrees, including sports, entertainment, catering and other fields. In the first half of the year of 2022, the Group successfully organized and completed the online events of the Shenzhen Marathon (深圳馬拉松), and launched the exhibition and broadcast event of “My Circle of Friends in Shenzhen Marathon” in connection with the events, which gained unanimous recognition from the organizers, sponsors and runners. In July 2022, after the preparation in the first half of the year, the Group successfully held the “National Fitness Games & Brisk Walking Activity in Tumushuke Corps of the 3rd Division” under the guidance of scientific pandemic prevention, and through the integration of “sports + culture + tourism”, the Group successively held the Winter Olympics Science Exhibition, Square Dance Competition, Imposing Gongs and Drums Competition, Fun Games, Men’s Basketball League, Chinese Basketball Association Friendly Match between Xinjiang Guanghui and Guangdong Hongyuan, etc., which tested the ability of event operators under scientific pandemic prevention, and promoted the construction of healthy China. In addition, the Group actively prepared for the Jinan Marathon (濟南馬拉松) and the Lu’an Marathon (六安馬拉松) which were originally scheduled to be held in October 2022, and the Nanchang Marathon (南昌馬拉松) which was originally scheduled to be held in November 2022 but were all postponed to 2023 due to the pressure of pandemic prevention and control.

OUTLOOK OF THE INDUSTRY AND THE GROUP

In the Spring Festival of 2023, after the two-month period of establishing the universal immunity barrier, the originally expected second wave of infection peak brought about by the great migration during the Spring Festival did not occur, which was a sign of joy for people all over the country who generally hoped that the pandemic was over, that the virus had disappeared, and that normal working and living conditions would return after three years of the pandemic.

After the Spring Festival, China has entered a new situation of resuming work and production, and all walks of life were restarted and showed a rapid recovery. The sports industry has also gradually begun to recover, but the recovery cycle may be slightly longer than other industries because the general public still needs to go through a physical recovery period after being infected with the virus, and cannot quickly devote themselves to sports in a short period of time, but the overall trend of rejuvenation is unstoppable, and a bright future is coming.

  • 14 -

The Group has also quickly resumed normal business operations after the Spring Festival by proactively making preparations for the events during the contract period, and actively communicating and liaising with local governments and event organizers to arrange and plan the event resources of 2023. After the end of the pandemic, people have more urgent needs and expectations for physical health, and hope to strengthen their physical and mental health through exercise. While continuing to expand the operation of events, the Group is also developing sports life service products that are more demanded by the general public in the post-pandemic era to satisfy the pursuit of sports, health, leisure and active life of the general public.

We believe that the pandemic has passed, and the sports industry has entered into a stage of booming and rapid development. At this critical time, after a period of remaining low profile, the Group will make all-out efforts to lead the whole industry to quickly get out of the severe winter of the pandemic, and create a healthier and happier life for the people!

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 decreased by approximately 59.0% to RMB5.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 from RMB12.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the entire sports industry, resulting in an almost complete standstill of offline events and large-scale activities. Details based on reportable segments are as follows:

  • Revenue of the Events Operation and Marketing segment decreased by 56.0% to RMB4.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 from RMB9.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2021; and

  • Revenue of the Sports Services segment decreased by approximately 67.7% to RMB1.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 from RMB3.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2021.

  • 15 -

Cost of Services

The Group’s cost of services decreased by approximately 87.9% to RMB1.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 from RMB12.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the entire sports industry, resulting in an almost complete standstill of offline events and large-scale activities. Details based on reportable segments are as follows:

  • Cost of the Events Operation and Marketing segment decreased by 89.3% to RMB1.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 from RMB12.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2021; and

  • Cost of the Sports Services segment amounted to RMB0.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 which is the same as that for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Gross Profit/(Loss) and Gross Profit/(Loss) Margin

As a result of the aforementioned factors, the Group recorded a gross profit of RMB3.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 as compared to a gross loss of RMB0.2 million recorded for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Group recognised a gross profit margin of 70.0% for the year ended 31 December 2022 as compared to a gross loss margin of 1.6% for the year ended 31 December 2021. 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 RMB2.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 as compared to a gross loss of RMB3.1 million recorded for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Group recognised a gross profit margin of 67.5% for the year ended 31 December 2022 as compared to a gross loss margin of 34.1% for the year ended 31 December 2021; and

  • As a result of the foregoing changes in revenue and cost of services of the Sports Services segment, the gross profit of the Group decreased by approximately 72.4% to RMB0.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 from RMB2.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2021, and the gross profit margin decreased to approximately 80.0% for the year ended 31 December 2022 from 93.6% for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

The Group’s selling and distribution expenses increased by approximately 37.0% to RMB3.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 from RMB2.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2021. The increase was mainly due to market research expenses incurred in expanding the business.

  • 16 -

General and Administrative Expenses

The Group’s general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately 13.4% to RMB26.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 from RMB30.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2021. This decrease was mainly due to the enhancement of daily expenses management.

Other Income

The Group’s other income decreased by approximately 53.6% to RMB9.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 from RMB19.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the interest income generated from fund investments in a partnership.

Other Gain or Loss

The Group’s other gain or loss decreased by approximately 44.4% to net loss of RMB16.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 from the net loss of RMB30.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease 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 52.0% to RMB67.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 from RMB44.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Income Tax Expense

The Group’s income tax expense increased by 128.6% to RMB8.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 from RMB3.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2021. The increase was due to the increase in the withholding and payment of corporate income tax on the dividend paid by the subsidiaries in China to the parent company in Hong Kong.

Loss Attributable to the Owners of the Company

As a result of the foregoing, the loss attributable to the owners of the Company increased by approximately 58.0% to RMB75.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 from RMB47.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Cash Flow

As at 31 December 2022, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to approximately RMB172.4 million as compared to that of approximately RMB127.4 million as at 31 December 2021.
