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 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.

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 large-scale 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.
- 14 -
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.
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 sports-related 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 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.
