3 CHINA INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT LIMITED FIRST QUARTERLY REPORT 2018
During the three months ended 31 March 2018, the Company has continued to refine our business structure. The Company has disposed the entire share capital of a subsidiary which owns a property situated in Hong Kong so that we can focus on the development on our IT business. Meanwhile, we had also signed sale and purchase agreements with two independent third parties which the Group had acquired a total of 10% equity interests (5% from each of the independent third parties) of a company incorporated in the PRC which principally engages in operation of data center in the PRC. In the year to come, we shall continue to search for more cooperation and business opportunities in data-related areas.
Meanwhile, the existing business of Macro and its subsidiaries (“Macro Group”) and Value Creation Finance Limited (“Value Creation Finance”), bring synergies and refinement to the whole business of the Company.
Macro Group
Macro Group provides comprehensive end-to-end solutions and services, ranging from (i) procurement and deployment of IT equipment and facilities; (ii) systems integration; (iii) consulting services on IT infrastructure and business solutions; and (iv) technical support and managed services. As one of the major players in the IT service management industry in Hong Kong and the PRC, Macro has strong relationships with well-renowned suppliers and large scale customers, being the subsidiary of the Group, it enjoys strong brand awareness and major presence in the Greater China region.
During the reporting period, the business performance of Macro has continued to convince the Company that the acquisition of Macro was an appropriate step to diversify business risk as well as to refine the whole business of the Company. Meanwhile, Macro has been awarded the first and only 5 Star Certified Service Partners of Huawei Enterprise Solution Partner Program & Gold Partner – Huawei Enterprise Business in Hong Kong in January 2018. Macro has continued to organize different seminars with various IT elites to provide and share new developments in the IT industry. The speakers had shared ideas, new technologies and analytical approaches appealing to both technical and business people in the seminar. Through these co-operations, not only do both the Company and Macro enjoy the synergy effects from the sharing of experiences and knowledge, it also helps the Company and Macro build a brand name and network in the industry.
With the vision to foster Hong Kong big data application and contribute to build Hong Kong as a smart city, the Company and Macro have established the DataCube Research Centre (“DataCube Research Centre” or “DataCube”), the first big data research centre of the Group in 2017 and during the reporting period, the Company has persistently supported its development.
DataCube Research Centre is more than 2,000 square feet, which provides meeting venue for Macro technical team to meet with its clients and provide the most appropriate big data solution. The spacious centre also offers a demo room to showcase the latest hardware platform. With years of experience in Macro to tailor-made information technology solutions for its clients, DataCube will be able to provide the most in-depth analysis for their business to realize the big data value.

The DataCube Research Centre will also focus on assisting local enterprises in the adoption of big data applications and inviting veteran data scientists to share and enhance related platforms for academic exchanges and other related projects. DataCube has adopted the latest hardware technology and the excellent integration technology platform and quality management from Macro. Not only can we provide a good demonstration for future big data applications and talents cultivation, but also foster a local group of data talents and enhance the public awareness of data applications in DataCube Research Centre, hence help them to seize the opportunity.
During the reporting period, Macro Group has contributed a revenue of approximately HK$13,157,000 to the Group. This encouraging result motivates the Directors and the Company to continue developing the business of Macro Group.
Other businesses
Value Creation Finance, which owns a money lending license in Hong Kong under Money Lenders Ordinance, continued to bring steady income for the Group.
Besides, in January 2017, the Company subscribed 16.67% equity interest of FULLPAY K.K.( FULLPAY 株式會社)(“Fullpay”), which is a company incorporated in Japan under the form of a joint stock company (kabushiki kaisha), at a consideration of JPY20,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,341,000). Fullpay is principally engaged in the sourcing and provision of electronic fund transfer at point of sale (EFTPOS) terminals and peripheral devices which support WeChat Pay, as well as the provision of relevant EFT-POS installation and system support services, to vendors in Japan.
Grabbing hold of the rising popularity of mobile payment in the world, especially in China, the Company shall continue to seize the opportunities of stepping into the mobile payment business so as to gain relevant knowledge and bring synergy effects to the other businesses of the Company through its investment in Fullpay.
On 29 November 2017, the Company has entered into a non-legally binding memorandum of understanding (“Possible Acquisition”) with Digital Avatar Holdings Limited (the “Vendor”) in relation to the possible acquisition of not more than 51% of issued share capital of Polar Imagination Limited (the “Target Company”). With the brand name of MTGamer (“MTGamer”), the Target Group principally engages in the provision and operation of online tournament platform for eSports, as well as the domain and social media (including WeChat and Facebook etc.) providing latest information relating to eSports and game advertising. MTGamer is one of the pioneers in the eSports industry in Hong Kong.
CHINA INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT LIMITED 5 FIRST QUARTERLY REPORT 2018
The Directors are of the view that the Possible Acquisition can allow the Company to step into this emerging business and seize the valuable opportunities to utilize its knowledge and technologies in its existing business for upstream and downstream development in its eSports industrial chain, creating synergy effect to the development of the existing business of the Company. The Directors believe that the Possible Acquisition shall provide opportunities to the Company to broaden its business portfolio so as to improve the Group’s financial status in the long term. During the three months ended 31 March 2018, the Company is still in negotiation with the Vendor and shall keep the Shareholders abreast of the latest development in relation to the Possible Acquisition. For more details, please refer to the announcement of the Company at 29 November 2017.
Other than the above, during the period under review, revenue from provision of information technology related services remained as staple income of the Group.
Outlook and Prospect
During the three months ended 31 March 2018, the Company has continued to develop in the new areas that the market has been raved about like eSports and mobile payment system. We believe that by exposing ourselves to these new trends in the market, we will be able to create a competitive edge for ourselves to provide more integrated and comprehensive services for our clients.
Nevertheless, the Company understands the importance to have a balanced development between the existing businesses and the new potential business opportunities. Especially in the IT world, the new technological advancement and devices do not come into place on its own. They are so intertwined with and dependent on other technologies, as the very popular and growing concept in the IT world, “Internet of Things (IoT)”, has proven how every technology and device can be closely related. During the reporting period, the Company has strived to maintain this balance.
The reliance in IT has created a fierce demand of big data analysis and management. Only when data is organized and analyzed, will it become useful catalyst for business improvements and new technological developments. Envisioning the prospect and importance of data, we have set up DataCube to provide a nurturing ground for big data business development in Hong Kong and DateCube has started cooperating with the Hospital in PRC to provide data analysis service for medical research. We believe that by these cooperation enable us to utilize our knowledge and skills in different industries, allowing us to gain experience and excel in our businesses. With the honors awarded, Macro demonstrates high rate of success with its technology vendors, as well as recognition of partnership and achievement of customer success. We shall continue in the development of Macro as well as DataCube so that we will become a more reputable company in the industry in not only Hong Kong but also in other places like the PRC.
