NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Wisdom Sports Group (the “ Company ”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law, Cap 22 (2012 Revision) of the Cayman Islands on 21 March 2012 and its shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Stock Exchange ”). Its ultimate controlling party is Ms. Ren Wen, who is also the Chairlady of the Board and President of the Company. The address of the registered office is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman, KY1-1111, Cayman Islands and the principal place of business of the Company in China is Building 5, Jingxin Building (京信大廈), No. A2, Dong San Huan Bei Lu, Chaoyang District, Beijing, the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”). The Company is an investment holding company. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “ Group* ”) is principally engaged in the provision of events operation and marketing services, sports services, and advertising program and branding services in the PRC.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

This interim financial information is unaudited and has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“ HKAS ”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”) and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. It was authorised for issue on 30 August 2019.

This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the 2018 annual financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”) (including all HKFRSs, HKASs and Interpretations). The accounting policies (including the critical judgements made by the Directors in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty) and methods of computation used in the preparation of this interim financial information are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 except as stated in note 3 to this interim financial information below.

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

The HKICPA has issued HKFRS 16 Leases and a number of amendments to HKFRSs that are first effective from 1 January 2019.

Except for HKFRS 16 being initially adopted by the Group from 1 January 2019, other developments effective from 1 January 2019 do not have a material effect on this interim financial information. The Group has not early adopted any new standard or interpretation that is not effective for the current interim period.

HKFRS 16 Leases

HKFRS 16 supersedes HKAS 17 Leases, HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease , HK(SIC)-Int 15 Operating leases – incentives and HKSIC-Int 27 Evaluating the substance of transactions involving the legal form of a lease . HKFRS 16 introduced a single, on-balance sheet accounting model for lessees. As a result, the Group, as a lessee, has recognised right-of-use assets representing its rights to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments.

  • 6 -

Lessor accounting under HKFRS 16 is substantially unchanged under HKAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify leases as either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in HKAS 17. Therefore, HKFRS 16 did not have an impact for leases where the Group is the lessor.

The Group has applied HKFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach to operating lease commitment that existed at 1 January 2019 in accordance with the transition requirements. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under HKAS 17. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below.

(a) Definition of a lease

Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a lease under HK(IFRIC)-Int 4. The Group now assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the new definition of a lease. Under HKFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

On transition to HKFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. It applied HKFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 were not reassessed. Therefore, the definition of a lease under HKFRS 16 has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 January 2019.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of properties in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and will instead account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

(b) As a lessee

As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. Under HKFRS 16, the Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases.

However, the Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with remaining lease terms of less than 12 months from 31 December 2018. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The recognised right-of-use assets relate to the following types of assets:

RMB’000
20,183
  • 7 -

Significant accounting policies

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable across the lease period, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, using a relevant incremental borrowing rate.

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payment made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised.

Transition

Previously, the Group classified property leases as operating leases under HKAS 17.

At transition, for leases classified as operating leases under HKAS 17, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 January 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments, and discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.

The Group used the following practical expedients when applying HKFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under HKAS 17.

  • Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term.

  • Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

  • Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

  • 8 -

(c) As a lessor

The Group leases out its investment properties. The Group has classified these leases as operating leases.

The accounting policies applicable to the Group as a lessor are not different from those under HKAS 17. The Group is not required to make any adjustments on transition to HKFRS 16 for leases in which it acts as a lessor. However, the Group has applied HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to allocate consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component.

(d) Impacts of financial statements

Impact on transition

On transition to HKFRS 16, the Group recognised additional right-of-use assets and additional lease liabilities. The impact on transition as at 1 January 2019 is summarised below.

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate with the weighted-average rate of 6.37% at 1 January 2019.

Impacts for the period

As a result of initially applying HKFRS 16, in relation to the leases that were previously classified as operating leases under HKAS 17, the Group recognised right-of-use assets of RMB16,456,000 and lease liabilities of RMB16,154,000 as at 30 June 2019.

Also in relation to those leases under HKFRS 16, the Group has recognised depreciation and finance costs, instead of operating lease charges. During the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group recognised depreciation charges of RMB4,167,000 and finance costs of RMB29,000 from these leases.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Information reported to the Chief Executive Officer, being the chief operating decision maker (“ CODM ”), for the purposes of resources allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on types of services provided.

The Group has three reportable operating segments, which are: (a) Events Operation and Marketing; (b) Sports Services; and (c) Advertising Program and Branding.

The Group’s operating and reportable segments are as follows:

Events Operation and Marketing Providing mainly marketing services in conjunction with sports-related 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 events organisation income, events video production income, technical support income and individual consumption income.

Advertising Program and Branding Provision of advertising services. Type of revenue includes advertising income.

  • 13 -

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 (loss)/profit 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 credit/(expense). This is the measure reported to the CODM for the purposes 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 purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

No geographical segment information is presented as all the sales and operating (losses)/profits 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.

The segment information provided to the CODM for the reportable segments for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Group Overview

As a professional sports events operator in China, the Group has been focusing on organizing marathon road running events for years and had held more than 200 city marathons, accumulating extensive experience in sports events operations. In the first half of 2019, with the slowdown in the economic growth in China and the fierce competition in the evolving and surging marathon market, the Group further refined its overall strategy with the focus on acquiring profitable road running events, as well as deepening the industrial upgrading from sports events operation to the sports and health consumption sector by relying on the data on sports and health obtained over the years. The new round of strategic upgrade will focus on the three core strategies of “high frequency”, “intelligence” and “living”, to build a mass consumption platform in the fields of sports and health, and lead the era of mass consumption in national fitness, so as to provide more diversified and professional sports services to consumers.

In light of the current market situation and according to the future strategic plan of the Group, the Group readjusted its internal management structure during the first half of the year. In response to the short-term business distress caused by the decrease of sporting events, the Group carried out comprehensive personnel optimisation and cost control, and improved its capacities and bode its time alongside streamlining its structure, so as to go forward with its burdens discarded and walk out of the performance turmoil as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the Group increased its investment in the crossing field along the sports industry chain to create an incremental market for sports consumption, laying a good foundation for the subsequent launch of consumption products.

BUSINESS REVIEW

I. Events Operation and Marketing

The Events Operation and Marketing segment is a segment for organising large-scale sports events and other activities. Its revenue is generated mainly from brand advertisers’ title sponsorship fees, sponsorship fees and advertising fees obtained through events marketing.

During the first half of the year, the Group continued to expand its events operation business and had independently organised the Rongcheng Marathon and the Jilin City Marathon. The Group also jointly organised the Tianjin Marathon and the Qingdao Marathon with other operators and has obtained the right to operate the Jinan Marathon* in the next three years through a tendering procedure.

In the course of the events operation, in order to further improve the standard of the events and the Group’s service quality, the Group implemented the “event supervision” system for the first time in the 2019 Jilin City Marathon*, under which the Group deployed event supervisors at the marathon expo, the starting and finishing points of the race, the half-marathon finishing point, the finishing point of the mini-special running race and the package distribution area, with a view to resolving all kinds of problems and queries for the runners on site. The system was praised by the runners and also established a good standard model for further improvement of marathon operation in China.

  • 19 -

For the marketing segment, the Group acquired new customers from the smart technology sector and environmental protection sector, and established comprehensive strategic cooperation with customers in the netcasting industry.

Among the city marathon events held by the Group in 2018, three events were named model events by the International Association of Athletics Federations. The Shenzhen Marathon was named an international gold medal event, whereas the Changsha Marathon and the Nanchang Marathon* were named the international bronze medal events, respectively.

II. Sports Services

The Sports Services segment is a vital component of the Group’s strategic positioning and generates revenue from the government and users through the provision of sports service products. Its main feature is the provision of diversified products and services targeting the government procurement market and mass sports consumer market, including areas such as services procured by the government, sports tourism, sports training and individual consumption.

The Group has accumulated a base of runner groups from major cities across the country through its years of operation. As at June 2019, the Group has connected with nearly 3,000 runner groups in 33 provinces and cities nationwide, covering nearly one million runners. The Group actively conducts interactive activities with the runner groups to maintain the activeness of and cohesion among these runner groups. The Group successively organised a series of activities together with the runner groups, such as the “Runner Groups Family Competition”, “Jilin City Marathon Runner Groups Preheating Run”, “Runner Groups Style Show”, “Professional Training Course Experience” and “Evaluation on Posting of Running Track”*, which had attracted the enthusiastic participation of a vast number of runners.

The Group further enriched its live sports broadcasting service. In addition to the broadcasting of marathon events, the Group also completed more than 50 television and internet broadcasts of other types of events such as basketball, football, volleyball, table tennis and badminton. During the Jilin City Marathon, the Group broadcasted the marathon on three major television channels in the Jilin Province, namely, Jilin Satellite Television, Jilin Television Public Channel and Jilin City Television Public Channel, and also supported live broadcasts on Toutiao, Xinhua News Agency, iQIYI, Youku, Baidu, China.com.cn, Yibo.com, Huajiao.com, Kuaishou and other online platforms, thereby creating a new model of live broadcast of sports.

During the first half of the year, the Group continued to vigorously develop its sports and tourism business. In particular, the Group established contacts and cooperated with nearly 100 foreign event organizing committees and their travel agencies, and launched more than 50 marathon events and hundreds of sports and tourism products. The Group provided its services to hundreds of people, in particular, the one-stop service for Chinese runners, which includes application for sports events registration, visa, flight ticket, airport pick-up and drop-off, hotel reservation, sightseeing bus tour or self-driving tour, dinner, travel itinerary and so on, to solve the series of problems that Chinese runners may encounter when attending marathons and travelling to

overseas destinations. The Group’s services for runners included one-to-one individual services, and other forms of services such as the runner groups services and corporate team building. The Group successfully assisted 70 Chinese runners to participate in the 2019 Belgrade Marathon, the overseas event of “One Belt, One Road” marathon series, which created a record for the event, and had great influence and attracted media attention locally.

OUTLOOK OF THE INDUSTRY AND THE GROUP

In the second half of the year, the Group will continue to expand and develop its business in accordance with the established strategic layout and focus on the three core strategies of “high frequency”, “intelligence” and “living”.

The second half of the year is the peak season for major marathon events. The Group will continue to independently operate major city marathon events in the second half of the year, including the Changsha Marathon, Xiangyang Marathon, Nanchang Marathon, Jinan Marathon, Dongguan Marathon and events in other provincial capitals and first-tier cities, while the operating right to Shenzhen Mararthon is in the process of renewal. Targeting the self-operated major marathon events, the Group will assist various runner groups to actively participate in the preheating activities of the events, and carry out “runner groups preheating race”, “runner groups competitions” and other activities, in order to increase the influence and brand value of these events. At the same time, the Group will organise a series of activities such as small to medium-scale road running events, national fitness activities, “reward survey” and “word-of-mouth selection” for the runners to accumulate data for the consumer-end development of healthy living and mass consumption.

The Group has expanded its business into the health drinks and sports foods sectors through cooperation in product development and cooperative sales, and has promoted and applied such products in the events organised by the Group. The Group will continue to introduce new products according to the needs of different people in order to develop a health and nutrition product portfolio. By investing in an insurance actuarial service company, the Group will also be able to provide customised and scenariobased insurance products and physical examination products for the sporting community through big data technology, and thereby enabling the provision of a wide range of products and services for the Group to establish a platform for the sports and health mass consumption sector.

(“ SDDA ”), a subsidiary of the Company; and

  • Cost of the Advertising Program and Branding segment was RMB Nil for the six months ended 30 June 2019, and RMB29.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

The Group’s other income decreased by approximately 86.5% to RMB9.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019 from RMB71.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

Other Losses

The Group’s other losses increased by approximately 7,666.7% to net losses of RMB256.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019 from the net losses of RMB3.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2018. The increase 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, which amounted to RMB156.6 million; and (ii) the write-off of an operating right to a “Running in China” marathon event with a net carrying amount of RMB84.6 million recognised under intangible assets of SDDA, after coming to a conclusion that the Group will no longer have the right to be the exclusive co-operator of the “Running in China” marathon events in the future.

The Group’s income tax credit was RMB24.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019 while the income tax expense was RMB44.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

The Company has applied the principles/code provisions as set out in the Corporate Governance Code (the “ CG Code ”) contained in Appendix 14 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the “ Listing Rules ”).

The Board is of the view that for the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Company has complied with the code provisions set out in the CG Code, save and except for code provision A.2.1. Details of which are set out below.

Code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code stipulates that the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Ms. Ren Wen, who acts as the chairlady of the Board and an executive Director, is also the president of the Company.

The Board meets regularly to consider major matters affecting the operations of the Group while Ms. Ren Wen is mainly responsible for the implementation of the strategic layout of the Group. The Board considers that this structure does not impair the balance of power and authority between the Board and the management of the Group as the Directors and the senior management perform separate duties to assist the chairlady and the president. The Board considers that this structure ensures an effective operation of the Group by exercising consolidated and consistent leadership.

The Company nevertheless understands the importance of compliance with the code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code and will continue to review the structure from time to time and consider separating the roles of chairman/chairlady and president to be held by different individuals as and when appropriate.
