Chairlady's Statement

Dear Shareholders:

2021 is still an extremely tough year for Wisdom Sports Group (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group") in which the novel coronavirus pandemic in China has been efficiently contained through effective prevention and control measures and large-scale vaccination, which made China the best country in pandemic prevention and control around the world. The development of the pandemic has directly affected the business development of the Group as a sports events operator. However, with the alleviation of the pandemic in the first half of the year, the Group has been actively preparing for the organisation of relevant events and bidding for new events, and successfully obtained the right to operate the Tumushuke Marathon* (圖木舒克馬拉松) during the first half of the year.

The tragic safety incident that happened during the cross-country running event held in Gansu Province, China in May 2021 undoubtedly added to the misfortunes of the road running industry and event operators who have been struggling. Events which should have been held in the first half of the year were postponed, and various event operators further strengthened safety measures and programs in all respects at the level of event execution to prevent the recurrence of tragedies. The sporadic outbreak of the pandemic in China also brings greater challenges to various local governments and event operators, which means that effective measures for pandemic prevention and control are also required to smoothly hold a high-quality event because it is essential to present a safe and healthy game to sports enthusiasts. Up to now, the holding time of each event is still being scheduled according to the development of the pandemic. Although there is still uncertainty at present, we hope to get opportunities and time to hold events in the second half of the year.

Due to the continued postponement of various large-scale marathon events, the Group is also actively communicating with local governments to obtain more opportunities for cooperation and provide governments with other types of targeted event services according to local needs, and further diversifying the types and service contents of the Group's event operations to enhance the stickiness with various partners.

At the same time, the Group also continues to research and discuss the business and investment opportunities in new fields and new projects, and conducts market research for the transformation of the Group's operations. The Group hopes to capture the development opportunities in other business areas, so as to diversify the business patterns of the Group and avoid the risks from its current operations.

As China further introduces policies for the promotion of sports industry, I believe that the players in the sports industry will continue to be optimistic about the potential opportunities for the future development of the industry. We also hope that under the normalisation of the pandemic, we can continue to provide more types of products and services for sports enthusiasts to satisfy their demand for sports and health.

I hereby would like to express my sincere appreciation to the shareholders for their continuous support and attention to the Group, and wish you all good health. Let's look forward to a promising future for the industry.

Yours faithfully, Ren Wen Chairlady

Management Discussion and Analysis

GROUP OVERVIEW

After going through a tough year in 2020, the entire sports industry is looking forward to the return to normal operation of marathon and other large-scale sports events, which is conditional upon the effective prevention and control of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic. As a leading sports events operator in China, the Group has also commenced various preparations for the holding of sports events, and hopes to accomplish some achievements in 2021.

As China had been impacted by sporadic cases of COVID-19 at the beginning of the year, the organising committees of various events had to postpone the holding of sports events again to avoid the risk of spreading the pandemic caused by highly crowded gathering during the events. Thus, except for several events held in April 2021 by making use of every bit of time, the overall external environment still impacted the holding of largescale marathon events. Especially after the severe incident that happened during the cross-country race held in Gansu Province, China in May 2021, sports events in various regions were halted one after another, which had a profound alerting effect on China's marathon industry. The organising committees of various events are required to improve their internal skills to further enhance the supporting services in various aspects such as event safety guarantee in a bid to meet the safety guarantee requirements after the events resume, and provide better sports experience for runners.

Faced with the still severe external conditions during the first half of the year, on the one hand, the Group reinforced the preparatory work for existing events to be held, and on the other hand, it kept communicating with local governments to explore new resources for events. In May 2021, the Group successfully won the bid for the right to operate the Tumushuke Marathon* (圖木舒克馬拉松) in Xinjiang, strengthened cooperation with local sports authorities during the preparation of the event, held basketball games, and subsequently won the bid for the right to operate the brisk walking activity of the 2021 Corps Public Fitness Games in Tumushuke City. The Tumushuke Marathon* (圖木舒克馬拉松) is also scheduled to be held in the second half of the year as the first highest-level road race in Xinjiang certified by the Chinese Athletics Association. In addition, the Group is scheduled to operate several large-scale marathon events in Nanchang, Shenzhen, Jinan and Lu'an in the second half of the year, which allows the Group to always maintain its stable first position as a marathon operator in China.

OUTLOOK OF THE INDUSTRY AND THE GROUP

Up to now, the domestic pandemic situation has rebounded on a small scale due to constant overseas imported cases and local sporadic cases. Due to the requirements of pandemic prevention and control, the time for holding large-scale events in the second half of the year is also uncertain. We hope that the pandemic can be effectively contained or even cease entirely through national vaccination and various prevention and control measures. However, at present, it seems that the external conditions may not be able to fully recover to the situation before the pandemic in the short term under which large-scale events could be held. To hold events successfully, event operators are required to submit complete proposals in the aspects of safety, medical care, hygiene, etc. so as to avoid the spread of the pandemic and the occurrence of accidents involving major safety related liability when holding events, so that the marathon ecology in China can bottom out and realise healthy development.

* for identification purpose only

In the circumstances where no events can be successfully held, the Group, as an events operator, is constantly enhancing our internal skills and optimising various proposals for the organisation and operation of events; and is also seeking more development opportunities in the fields of sports, sports extension and even mass consumption and mass health. At present, the Group has reached comprehensive cooperation with local governments for sports and cultural activities in the southern Xinjiang region, by which the Group can 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, aiming to capture better development opportunities and prospects in such fields. During the first half of the year, the Group also conducted in-depth market surveys in relevant fields and carried out in-depth research and negotiations on relevant projects with an aim to obtain more space for development therefrom.

Since more than 2.0 billion doses of vaccines have already been administered in China, we believe that the pandemic will be gradually contained through vaccination and effective prevention and control, and the sports industry, as an indispensable way of life and entertainment for the general public, will gradually return to normal operation and flourish again.

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 provides marketing services in conjunction with sportsrelated competitions. Its revenue includes corporate sponsorship income; and
  • (b) the Sports Services segment, which mainly provides services to media companies and marathon runners in conjunction with sports-related competitions and other events. Types of revenue include mainly rental income from equipment, individual consumption income, and live broadcasting and program production income.

Revenue

The Group's revenue increased by approximately 20.0% to RMB1.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from RMB1.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Details based on reportable segments are as follows:

  • Revenue of the Events Operation and Marketing segment increased to RMB0.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from RMB Nil for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The increase was due to the corporate sponsorship income of an online marathon held in the first half of 2021; and
  • Revenue of the Sports Services segment decreased by approximately 60.0% to RMB0.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from RMB1.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 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.

Management Discussion and Analysis

Cost of Services

The Group's cost of services decreased by approximately 77.4% to RMB1.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from RMB5.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Details based on reportable segments are as follows:

  • Cost of the Events Operation and Marketing segment amounted to RMB Nil for the six months ended 30 June 2021, which is the same as that for the six months ended 30 June 2020; and
  • Cost of the Sports Services segment decreased by approximately 77.4% to RMB1.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from RMB5.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 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 Profit/(Loss) and Gross Profit/(Loss) Margin

As a result of the aforementioned factors, the Group recorded a gross profit of RMB Nil for the six months ended 30 June 2021 as compared to a gross loss of RMB4.3 million recorded for the six months ended 30 June 2020, representing an increase of approximately 100.0% in gross profit. The Group recognised a gross profit margin of 0.0% for the six months ended 30 June 2021 as compared to a gross loss margin of 430.0% for the six months ended 30 June 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 gross profit for the Events Operation and Marketing segment increased to RMB0.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from a gross profit of RMB Nil for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The gross profit margin increased to 100.0% for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from a gross profit margin of 0.0% for the six months ended 30 June 2020; and
  • As a result of the foregoing changes in revenue and cost of service of Sports Services segment, the gross loss for the Sports Services segment decreased by approximately 81.4% to RMB0.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from a gross loss of RMB4.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The gross loss margin decreased to 200.0% for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from a gross loss margin of 430.0% for the six months ended 30 June 2020.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

The Group's selling and distribution expenses increased by approximately 54.5% to RMB1.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from RMB1.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increase in labour cost without waiver in social insurance, and increase in traveling expenses after COVID-19.

General and Administrative Expenses

The Group's general and administrative expenses decreased by 12.5% to RMB15.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from RMB17.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 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 20.9% to RMB8.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from RMB6.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the dividend income from a financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Other Losses

The Group's other losses increased by approximately 57.6% to RMB15.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from RMB9.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increase in fair value loss on listed equity securities under financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Loss before Tax

As a result of the foregoing, the Group's loss before tax decreased by approximately 10.0% to RMB24.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from a loss before tax of RMB26.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020.

Income Tax Credit

The Group's income tax credit decreased by approximately 25.6% to RMB2.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from RMB3.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in allowance for impairment of trade receivables as at 30 June 2021.

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 approximately 2.3% to RMB21.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 from RMB21.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020.

Cash Flow

As at 30 June 2021, the Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to approximately RMB136.8 million compared with that of RMB137.7 million as at 31 December 2020.

Working Capital

The Group's net current assets decreased by approximately 7.2% to RMB296.8 million as at 30 June 2021 from RMB319.8 million as at 31 December 2020. The Group maintained a stable net current asset value and a relatively high level of working capital that can adequately meet the daily working capital requirements and finance the business development.

Capital Expenditure

The Group's total spending on the acquisition of property, plant and equipment amounted to RMB Nil for the six months ended 30 June 2021 (six months ended 30 June 2020: RMB58.4 million).

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES OF THE GROUP

In order to achieve better cost control and minimise the cost of funds, the Group's treasury activities are centralised and cash is generally deposited with banks and denominated mostly in RMB. As at 30 June 2021, the Group had net current assets of RMB296.8 million (31 December 2020: RMB319.8 million), of which cash and cash equivalents amounted to RMB136.8 million (31 December 2020: RMB137.7 million).

The Group adopts a prudent approach in treasury management, ensuring that the Group maintains strong reserves of cash to finance its daily operations and future developments. In addition to the Group's payment arrangements with the clients set forth in the relevant agreements, the Group conducts a periodic review of their payment progress in the Group's internal control system and assesses the Group's credit policy for them. After taking into account of a series of factors, including transaction volume, length of business relationship, prior dealing history with the Group, creditworthiness, the industry practice, the macroeconomic and market competition environment, the Group's financial position and working capital needs and the Group's marketing and sales strategy, the Group may further extend credit periods ranging from three to six months for some of the clients in practice. Such extension of credit periods is granted on a case-by-case basis and not set forth in the payment terms in the Group's agreements with relevant clients. The Group will continue to monitor the payment progress of these clients and take appropriate measures as to the collection of trade receivables based on the Group's assessment and ongoing communications with the clients.

The Group has not experienced any material impact or effects on its operations or liquidity as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for the six months ended 30 June 2021 and the Group has not used any financial instruments for hedging purposes as the risk of exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates is comparatively low.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE OF THE GROUP

The reorganisation of the Group as set out in the prospectus of the Company dated 28 June 2013 (the "Prospectus") was completed on 24 June 2013. The Company was listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") on 11 July 2013 (the "Listing Date").

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities as reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position approximate their respective fair values.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following disclosures of fair value measurements use a fair value hierarchy that categorises into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value:

  • Level 1 inputs: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date.
  • Level 2 inputs: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
  • Level 3 inputs: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of any of the three levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair value of financial assets, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. Further, the fair value disclosure of lease liability is also not required.

9. 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 marketing services in conjunction with sports-related
competitions. Type of revenue includes corporate sponsorship
income.
Sports Services Providing services mainly to media companies and marathon runners
in conjunction with sports-related competitions and other events.
Types of revenue include mainly rental income from equipment,
individual consumption income, and live broadcasting and program
production 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 cost, other income, other losses, share of results of associates and income tax 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.

For the six months ended 30 June 2021

For the six months ended 30 June 2021

20.OTHER RECEIVABLES (Continued)

Note:

(a) The balances as at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020 relate originally to a proposed joint investment in TYCG between the Group and Beijing Sports and Entertainment Industry Group Limited, an independent third party, to hold 40% and 50% of the equity interest in TYCG respectively on 5 July 2018. Such proposed investment is now terminated due to sudden significant deterioration in the liquidity of TYCG during the second half of 2019. This balance is therefore categorised under "Stage 3" and a full allowance for impairment was provided as at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020 as a result of the significant financial difficulties from the insolvency of TYCG. The Group had commenced legal proceedings on the debt recovery and details of the corresponding legal proceedings were disclosed in the Company's announcement dated 11 February 2020.

Bankruptcy proceedings against TYCG has been initiated by one of its creditors on 3 June 2020.
