NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The preparation of unaudited consolidated results in conformity with IFRSs requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses on a year to date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

(a) Application of new and amendments to IFRSs

In the current period, the accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, as described in those consolidated financial statements and no new policy was introduced for application.

(b) New standards and amendments to standards issued but not effective

New standards and amendments to standards are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020 which have not come into effect for the financial year beginning 1 January 2021, and have not been early adopted by the Group in preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group based on the preliminary assessment made by management.

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The Group’s only operating segment, which is also its principal activity, is the design, development and sales of board games, miniature war games and other hobby products.

During the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 2020, revenue was earned from customers located in the following geographical areas:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Business Model and Business Overview

We are a hobby games publisher specialising in developing and publishing mainly tabletop games (including board games and miniature war games). We also started developing and launching mobile games since 2015.

We publish both self-owned games and licensed games. We also distribute third-party tabletop games. We sell our tabletop games mainly through Kickstarter and to wholesalers. We also sell directly to end-users through our own physical store located in Singapore and online game conventions, both online and physical (where possible), held two to three times a year.

As at the date of this interim results announcement, we offer a total of 106 games, comprising 100 board games, three miniature war games, two mobile games and one computer game.

During the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Group launched three Kickstarter games, namely, CMON Presents: The Animation Collection, Zombicide: Undead or Alive and Marvel United: X-Men and raised approximately US$0.7 million, US$3.3 million and US$5.9 million, respectively.

Long-Term Strategies and Outlook

Our strategy is to achieve long-term growth through geographical diversification and product diversification. We remain focused on (1) expanding into the Asian markets, (2) marketing directly to end users and gamers, particularly in China and South East Asia and (3) strengthening our game design capabilities and licensing of good intellectual properties.

We strive to become a leading developer and publisher of quality tabletop games and are optimistic about the growth and development of the tabletop games industry. During the six months ended 30 June 2021, we launched three Kickstarter games, namely CMON Presents: The Animation Collection, Zombicide: Undead or Alive and Marvel United: X-Men which raised approximately US$0.7 million, US$3.3 million and US$5.9 million, respectively. We will continue to launch games that will not only help us retain a significant number of players, but will also help us attract new players, so we can grow our revenue base and sustain our competitive position. We will continue to expand our geographical coverage with an aim to increase market share as we make our games known to more Asian players.

Financial Review

Revenue

Revenue increased by approximately 26.8% from approximately US$11.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020 to approximately US$15.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021 mainly due to the increase in wholesales in the second quarter of 2021.

The following table sets out breakdowns of our revenue by sales channels:

Six months ended 30 June
2021 2020
(Unaudited) (Unaudited)
US$ % US$ %
Direct
Kickstarter 6,054,949 40.1 9,821,017 82.4

Total 15,111,314 100.0 11,915,693 100.0

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales increased by approximately 22.5% from approximately US$6.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020 to approximately US$8.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021. The increase was primarily due to the increase in cost of inventories by approximately 47.3% from approximately US$4.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020 to approximately US$6.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit increased by approximately 32.8% from approximately US$5.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020 to approximately US$6.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021, mainly due to the higher gross profit margin of Kickstarter sales. Our gross profit margin increased from approximately 41.9% for the six months ended 30 June 2020 to approximately 43.9% for the six months ended 30 June 2021.

Other Income

Other income amounted to US$206,025 and US$137,011 for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 2021, respectively, and the decrease was mainly due to a larger amount of government subsidy received in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

– 13 –

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Selling and distribution expenses amounted to approximately US$2.2 million and approximately US$2.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 2021, respectively. There was increase in headcount and salaries of sales staff and in online marketing expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses for the six months ended 30 June 2020 were approximately US$3.2 million and increased to approximately US$3.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2021, mainly due to the increase in game development expenses and professional service fees.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended 30 June 2021, we financed our operations mainly through cash generated from our internally generated funds and external borrowings.

As at 30 June 2021, the Group’s total bank borrowings were approximately US$9.2 million (31 December 2020: approximately US$8.8 million), of which (i) approximately US$3.1 million were denominated in Singapore dollars, with a tenor of 20 years and interests charged at fixed rates from drawdown date till the end of the second year from the respective dates of the banking facility letters and at floating rates for subsequent years; (ii) approximately US$3.6 million were denominated in Singapore dollars, with a tenor of 4 years and interests charged at floating rates; and (iii) approximately US$2.3 million were denominated in United States dollars, with a tenor of 120 days to 4 years and interests charged at floating rates. Bank borrowings of approximately US$3.1 million were secured by the Group’s properties in Singapore, a corporate guarantee from the Company and a charge over all fixed deposits placed with the relevant bank. As at 30 June 2021, the Group’s borrowings were repayable as follows:

The proceeds from the Group’s sales made through Kickstarter are generally received prior to product delivery and therefore the Group is not exposed to significant credit risk. The Group’s trade receivables are mainly related to sales to wholesalers. We have policies in place to assess and monitor the credit worthiness of our wholesalers. The Group performs periodic credit evaluation on our wholesalers and will adjust the credit extended to the wholesalers accordingly. Normally the Group does not require collaterals from trade debtors. Management makes periodic collective assessment as well as individual assessment on the recoverability of trade receivables based on historical payment records, the length of the overdue period, the financial strength of the trade debtors and whether there are any disputes with the relevant debtors.

As at 30 June 2021, the Group’s capital structure consisted of bank borrowings, capital and reserves attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising share capital, share premium, retained earnings, capital reserves and other reserves.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND OTHER INFORMATION

Corporate Governance Practices

The Group is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance to safeguard the interests of the shareholders of the Company (the “ Shareholders ”) and to enhance corporate value and accountability. The Company has adopted the Corporate Governance Code (the “ CG Code ”) as set out in Appendix 14 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”) as its own code of corporate governance. Save as disclosed in this interim results announcement, the Company has, to the best knowledge of the Board, complied with all applicable code provisions of the CG Code except as described in the following paragraph, during the six months ended 30 June 2021. The Company will continue to review and monitor its corporate governance practices to ensure compliance with the CG Code.

Under code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer should be separate and performed by different individuals. Mr. Ng Chern Ann is currently the chairman and was re-designated as a joint chief executive officer of the Company with the appointment of Mr. David Doust as joint chief executive officer of the Company on 23 January 2020. In view of Mr. Ng being one of the founders of the Group, and his responsibilities in corporate strategic planning and overall business development, the Board believes that it is in the interests of both the Group and the Shareholders to have Mr. Ng taking up both roles for effective management and business development. The Board also meets regularly on a quarterly basis to review the operation of the Group led by Mr. Ng. Accordingly, the Board believes that this arrangement will not impact the balance of power and authorisations between the Board and the management of the Company. Now that Mr. Ng and Mr. David Doust jointly execute the Group’s development strategy and manage the Group’s business operations, the Board will continue to review the effectiveness of the corporate governance structure of the Group in order to assess whether separation of the roles of the chairman and joint chief executive officer is necessary.

Compliance with the Model Code by Directors in Securities Transactions

The Company has adopted the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers (the “ Model Code ”) as set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules as its own code of conduct regarding Directors’ securities transactions. Having made specific enquiries of all Directors, each of the Directors has confirmed that he has complied with the required standard of dealings set out in the Model Code during the six months ended 30 June 2021.
