Chairman’s Statement
2020 was a year full of both obstacles and opportunities. The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic not only brought unprecedented challenges to the global economy, changed the way people work, live and play, but also resulted in hastening changes to existing industries and the formation of new business models.
In 2020, the Chinese gaming market was growing steadily. According to the 2020 China Gaming Industry Report jointly released by the Game Publishers Association Publications Committee (GPC) of the China Audio-video and Digital Publishing Association (中國音像與數字出版協會遊戲出版工作委員會) and Gamma Data (CNG), the Chinese gaming industry recorded a total revenue of approximately RMB278.69 billion in the year of 2020, representing an increase of 20.7% compared with the previous year. Mobile game has retained its mainstream position cornering about three quarters of the overall gaming market, with its revenue reaching RMB209.68 billion or a vigorous growth of 32.6%. The number of gamers reached 665 million in China at the end of 2020, of which mobile game users are 654 million, representing an increase of 4.8% compared with the previous year. In addition, it has been an industry consensus that the unit cost of game advertising and promotion activities is increasing year by year, and how to reduce the waste of resources caused by ineffective exposure and invalid clicks has become one of the market challenges that major game publishers should pay attention to.
To capture the opportunities created by the rapidly growing number of gamers and the vigorous growth of mobile game segment, and to cope with the increasing unit cost and uncertain outcome of advertising and promotion activities, the Company drew on its strong operating capability as well as keen market insight and extensive industry experience of senior management team and responded rapidly. In response to the increasing unit costs of advertising and promotion activities, we adapted and re-positioned to streamline and refine our game operations, and sought out innovative promotion channels.
Moreover, the changes in regulatory environment of the Chinese gaming market had led to the suspension of approval of online game publication for nine months in 2018. Although the above-mentioned suspension has been lifted, approvals of new game publication are greatly reduced and the Company has less access to quality games. In view of the market conditions, we have made strategic adjustment and planning in the launch of our new games, and have been conducting deep optimization customizing to the players’ evolving preferences, including continuing improvements in gameplay by upgrading heroes and rolling out new in-game events was also conducted to ensure their sound performance upon official launch.
In the past year, the Company was striving for the sustainable development of business and actively laying a foundation for healthy growth in the future despite the challenges. Looking ahead, while adhering to the original aspirations with commitment, ambition and perseverance, we will also continue to stride forward against adversity, be so deeply versed and accumulated as to be able to present it with ease, and through which we aspire to turn to a new chapter in the Group’s development.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my gratitude to all our staff and the management team for their commitment for excellence and valuable contribution. I would also like to thank all of our Shareholders, users and business partners, and wish for their continuous support in the future.

Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director
Annual Report 2020
Management Discussion and Analysis
BUSINESS REVIEW
For the year of 2020, the Group recorded total revenue of RMB748.2 million, a decrease of approximately 28.8% as compared to the corresponding period last year. Revenue of the classic games which have been in operation for years and are in their mature stage saw a natural drop. On the other hand, the changes in regulatory environment of the Chinese gaming market had led to prolonged suspension of approval of online game publication, casting a negative impact on the growth momentum of the game industry which is yet to be recovered. Although the above-mentioned suspension has been lifted, approvals of new game publication are greatly reduced and the Company has less access to quality games. During the Reporting Period, certain pipeline games of the Group were not launched as scheduled due to underperformance in game testing results and the reduction in online game publication approval. In view of the market conditions, we have made strategic adjustment and planning in the launch of our new games, and have been conducting comprehensive tests for the new titles launched in 2020. Deep optimization customizing to the players’ evolving preferences was also conducted to ensure their sound performance upon official launch. On the other hand, new titles launched in 2020 are still in the promotion period and the stage of incubation of player base. It is expected the growth momentum of the new games and their contribution to the revenue of the Company would be gradually unleashed in 2021. With the lifting of the above-mentioned suspension, we have acquired nine new licensed games in 2020 and as at the date of this annual report, building substantial momentum for the Company to further publish new games and continuously create new income sources.
Profit attributable to our shareholders recorded RMB127.6 million for the year of 2020, soaring 229.7% year-on-year. The increase of profit was primarily due to a decrease in selling and marketing expenses as the Company has engaged in less extensive advertising and promotion activities for classic games, which have been in operation for years and are in their mature stage during the Reporting Period.
The level of game monetization has continued to reflect our strengths and keen ability. The average revenue per month per paying user (“ARPPU”) for the year of 2020 was RMB577 as compared to RMB443 for the same period last year, up by 30.2% year over year. The total number of accumulative registered users reached 175.6 million as at 31 December 2020, representing a 4.7% growth over last year. The enormous user base enables us to better understand player preferences and market changes through strong data analytics ability, so as to launch new games with higher popularity in the market, and to conduct targeted marketing with more cost-effective strategies.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has posed challenges across countries and industries. The lag in effect caused by the prolonged suspension of approval of online games publication has cast an impact to the growth momentum which has yet to recover. Despite the challenging macro situation, looking back on the past twelve months, the Company was still striving for the sustainable development of business and actively laying a foundation for healthy growth in the future. Leveraging SLG’s inherent advantage of long life-cycle, the Company’s strong operating capability and the extensive industry experience of our senior management team, the Company has achieved sound performance throughout the Reporting Period. The strategy of upholding our persistence in the SLG game segment while broadening our game category has been successful. My Duty (我的使命), a SLG game, and Romance of Stars ( 星辰奇緣 ), a massively multiple online role-play game, are still popular after more than 49 months’ and 62 months’ operation, respectively, and has achieved monthly gross billings of up to RMB39 million and RMB20 million, respectively during the Reporting Period. We constantly launched updated versions and introduced iterative calculations and new gameplay. The games have maintained robust lifecycles and continued to generate steady revenue for us over a longer period of time.

Annual Report 2020
Management Discussion and Analysis
Revenue
The Group’s revenue in the Reporting Period was approximately RMB748.2 million, representing a decrease by approximately 28.8% as compared to the corresponding period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to (i) the natural drop in revenue of the classic games which have been in operation for years and are in their mature stage, (ii) games launched during the Reporting Period are still in promotion period and yet to generate sizable income, and (iii) the suspension of approval of online games publication for a period as long as nine months in 2018 that has cast an impact to the growth momentum which has yet to recover.
With respect to revenue categorized by method of publication, self-publishing revenue was approximately RMB392.5 million, representing 52.5% of the total revenue as compared to 52.2% in the corresponding period last year. Co-publishing revenue was approximately RMB355.7 million, representing 47.5% of the total revenue.
Cost of Revenue
The cost of revenue in the Reporting Period was approximately RMB284.2 million and decreased by approximately 26.7% as compared to the corresponding period last year. It was mainly because of the decrease in platform sharing charges, which was partially offset by the growing commissions charged by game developers.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
During the Reporting Period, gross profit was approximately RMB464.0 million, as compared to RMB663.5 million in the corresponding period last year. Gross profit margin slightly decreased from 63.1% to 62.0% as compared to the corresponding period last year, since the magnitude of the decrease in revenue is larger than that of the decrease in cost of revenue.
Other Income
During the Reporting Period, other income was approximately RMB8.0 million as compared to approximately RMB12.4 million in the corresponding period last year. It was mainly because of the decrease in government grant recognized during the Reporting Period, which was partially offset by the VAT additional deduction.
Other Losses/Gains, net
During the Reporting Period, net other loss was approximately RMB0.6 million, as compared to a net other gain of approximately RMB10.9 million in the corresponding period last year, primarily attributable to foreign exchange losses, which were partially offset by fair value gain on investments at fair value through profit or loss during the Reporting Period.
Finance Income, net
During the Reporting Period, net finance income, which is calculated by interest revenue less finance costs, was approximately RMB46.1 million, an increase of approximately 230.5% or RMB32.2 million as compared to the corresponding period last year. The increase was mainly from interest revenue from loans to third parties as well as interest revenue from notes receivables.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Selling and Marketing Expenses
The selling and marketing expenses in the Reporting Period were approximately RMB193.7 million, dropped by approximately 61.3% or approximately RMB306.4 million as compared to the corresponding period last year. It constituted 25.9% of the total revenue, representing a decrease from 47.6% in the corresponding period last year. The decrease was primarily due to adjustment in game launching plan in 2020 and less extensive advertising and promotion activities for classic games which have been in operation for years and are in their mature stage during the Reporting Period.
Administrative Expenses
The administrative expenses of the Group in the Reporting Period were approximately RMB116.0 million, as compared to approximately RMB93.8 million in the corresponding period last year. The change was primarily due to increases in provisions for losses of receivables and expenses for epidemic prevention and control during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Research and Development Expenses
The research and development expenses of the Group in the Reporting Period were approximately RMB58.5 million, decreased by approximately 7.6% or RMB4.8 million as compared to the corresponding period last year. The change was primarily due to the decrease of share-based compensation to key employees.
Income Tax Expense
The income tax expense in the Reporting Period was approximately RMB21.6 million, increased by 346.1% or approximately RMB16.8 million as compared to the corresponding period last year. It was a consequent result of an increased taxable income.
Profit for the Year
The profit attributable to owners of the Company in the Reporting Period was RMB127.6 million, significantly increased by 229.7% as compared to RMB38.7 million in the corresponding period last year. The increase of profit was primarily due to a decrease in selling and marketing expenses as the Group has engaged in less extensive advertising and promotion activities for classic games which have been in operation for years and are in their mature stage during the Reporting Period.

RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT (THE “RSU”) SCHEME
We have adopted the RSU Scheme (the “RSU Scheme”) with a view to formalize our grant and our proposal to grant share incentives to eligible management and employees of our Group.

RSU Scheme ” in Appendix IV of the Company’s Prospectus.
We have appointed The Core Trust Company Limited as the trustee (the “Trustee”) to assist with the administration and vesting of the RSUs granted pursuant to the RSU Scheme. A total of 75,000,000 Shares (as adjusted after share sub-division conducted on 22 March 2018) were issued to Super Fleets Limited (the “RSU Nominee”), who hold the shares for the benefit of eligible participants pursuant to the RSU Scheme. No further Shares will be allotted and issued to the RSU Nominee or the trustee for the purpose of the RSU Scheme (other than pursuant to sub-division, reduction, consolidation, reclassification or reconstruction of the share capital of the Company in accordance with the RSU Scheme). As the RSU Scheme does not involve the grant of options to subscribe for any new Shares of the Company, it is not required to be subject to the provisions under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.
SHARE OPTION SCHEME
The Company adopted a share option scheme (the “Scheme”) pursuant to a resolution passed on 19 June 2018 which will be valid for 10 years from the adoption date for the purposes of (i) motivating the Eligible Participants to optimize their performance efficiency for the benefit of the Group; and (ii) attracting and retaining or otherwise maintaining an on-going business relationship with the Eligible Participants whose contributions are or will be beneficial to the long-term growth of the Group. The remaining life of the Scheme is around 7 years. Further details of the Scheme are set forth in the section headed “ Statutory and General Information — D. RSU Scheme and Share Option Scheme ” in Appendix IV to the Prospectus.
The Board may, at its discretion, offer to grant an option to the following persons (collectively the “Eligible Participants”) to subscribe for such number of new Shares as the Board may determine at the Exercise Price (as defined below):
-
(i) any full-time or part-time employees, executives or officers of our Company or any of its subsidiaries;
-
(ii) any Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) of our Company or any of its subsidiaries; and
-
(iii) any advisers, consultants, agents, suppliers, customers, distributors and such other persons who in the sole opinion of the Board will contribute or have contributed to our Company and/or any of its subsidiaries.

Directors’ Report
Upon acceptance of the option, the grantee shall pay US$0.000005 to our Company by way of consideration for the grant.
The new Shares which may be issued by our Company upon exercise of all share options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and other share option schemes of our Company (and to which the provisions of the Listing Rules are applicable) shall not exceed 200,000,000 Shares, (i.e. 10% of the aggregate of the Shares in issue on the Listing Date assuming the Over-allotment Option is not exercised and approximately 10.4% of the aggregate of the Shares in issue as at the date of this annual report).
The total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon the exercise of the options granted to or to be granted to each eligible person under the Share Option Scheme (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding options) in any 12-month period shall not exceed 1% of the Shares in issue.
An option may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme at any time during the period to be determined by our Board at its absolute discretion and notified by our Board to each grantee of the Option (the “Grantee”) as being the period during which an Option may be exercised and in any event, such period shall not be longer than 10 years from the date upon which any particular Option is granted in accordance with the Share Option Scheme. Options may be vested over such period(s) as determined by the Board in its absolute discretion subject to compliance with the requirements under any applicable laws, regulations or rules.
The exercise price (“Exercise price”) shall be such price determined by our Board in its absolute discretion at the time of the grant of the relevant Option (and shall be stated in the letter containing the offer of the grant of the Option), but in the case that any Share would be allotted and issued to a Grantee upon the exercise of an Option in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme, the Exercise Price shall be at least the higher of (a) the official closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotation sheets on the date of grant, which must be a day on which the Stock Exchange is open for business of dealing in securities; (b) the average of the official closing prices of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotation sheets for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant; and (c) the nominal value of a Share.

Contractual Arrangements
Our Group conducts the mobile game publishing business through our PRC Operating Entities in the PRC. As PRC laws and regulations, or the implementation of those laws and regulations by the relevant government authorities, generally prohibit foreign ownership in the mobile game publishing industry in the PRC, our Company is unable to own or hold any direct or indirect equity interest in our PRC Operating Entities. The Contractual Arrangements, through which we are able to exercise control over and derive the economic benefits from our PRC Operating Entities, have been narrowly tailored to achieve our business purpose and minimize the potential conflict with relevant PRC laws and regulations.
Investment activities in the PRC by foreign investors are mainly governed by the Guidance Catalog of Industries for Foreign Investment (the “Catalog”), which was promulgated and is amended from time to time jointly by the MOFCOM and the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC (中華人民共和國國家發展和改革委員會). The Catalog divides industries into four categories in terms of foreign investment, including “encouraged,” “restricted” and “prohibited,” and all industries not listed under any of these categories are deemed to be “permitted.” As confirmed by the Company’s PRC legal advisers, according to the Catalog, the mobile game publishing business that our Company currently operates falls into the internet cultural business which is considered “prohibited,” and relates to the value-added telecommunications services which is considered “restricted.”
Furthermore, according to the Regulations for the Administration of Foreign-Invested Telecommunications Enterprises, which were issued on 11 December 2001 by the State Council and amended on 10 September 2008 and February 6, 2016 foreign investors are not allowed to hold more than 50% of the equity interests of a company providing value-added telecommunications services, including ICP services. A foreign investor who invests in a value-added telecommunications businesses in the PRC must possess prior experience in operating value-added telecommunications businesses and a proven track record of business operations overseas (the “Qualification Requirement”).
As advised by the Company’s PRC legal advisers, as at 31 December 2020, no applicable PRC laws, regulations or rules had provided clear guidance or interpretation on the Qualification Requirement, and there was no update to the Qualification Requirement.
In order for the Company to be able to carry on its businesses in China, the Group has in place the Contractual Arrangements between Binyou Networks, on one hand, Youmin Networks and its registered shareholders on the other hand, which enable the Company to exercise control over the PRC Operating Entities, and to consolidate the financial results of the PRC Operating Entities in the results of the Company under IFRSs as if they were wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Pursuant to the relevant exclusive business cooperation agreement under the Contractual Arrangements, at any time after the date of such agreements, in the event of any promulgation or change of any law, regulation or rule of China or any interpretation or applicable change of such laws, regulations or rules, the following agreements shall be applicable: If the economic interests of any party under the agreements suffer a significant adverse effect directly or indirectly due to above change of laws, regulations or rules, the agreements should continue to operate pursuant to the original terms. Each of the parties shall obtain a waiver for complying with such change or rule via all legal channels. If any adverse effect on the economic interests of any party may not be eliminated according to the relevant agreement, upon the receipt by the other parties of such notice from the affected party, all the parties shall promptly discuss and make all necessary modification to the agreements to preserve the economic interests of the affected party under the agreement.

Requirements related to the Contractual Arrangements (other than relevant foreign ownership restrictions)
As advised by the Company’s PRC legal advisers, requirements related to the Contractual Arrangements (other than relevant foreign ownership restrictions) include:
-
i. Pursuant to Article 52 of the PRC Contract Law, a contract is void under any of the following five circumstances: (i) the contract is concluded through the use of fraud or coercion by one party and thereby damages the interest of the state, (ii) malicious collusion is conducted to damage the interest of the state, a collective unit or a third party, (iii) the contract damages the public interest, (iv) an illegitimate purpose is concealed under the guise of legitimate acts or (v) the contract violates the mandatory provisions of the laws or administrative regulations. As advised by the Company’s PRC legal advisers, the relevant terms of the Contractual Arrangements do not fall within any of the aforementioned five circumstances, and in particular, would not be deemed as “concealing an illegitimate purpose under the guise of legitimate acts” under Article 52 of the PRC Contract Law, and do not violate the provisions of the PRC Contract Law or the General Principles of the PRC Civil Law. However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and future PRC laws and regulations, and there can be no assurance that any PRC government agency will not take a view that is contrary to or otherwise different from the above.
-
ii. According to the Contractual Arrangements, when a dispute arises, any party to the agreements may submit such dispute to the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission for settlement pursuant to the effective arbitration rules at that time, and the arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties. Arbitration tribunal may decide compensation for the equity interests and property ownership of the on-shore subsidiaries, decide enforceable remedy or demand liquidation of relevant business or enforceable asset transfer.

FingerTango formulates the Workflow for Player Visit, which improves game experience by properly handling game abnormity, monitoring game environment, ensuring game network security, consistently strengthening technological development ability, and upgrading games to improve experience of players.
For GMs to properly handle game abnormity in games, FingerTango abides by the Game Work Handling Procedure of GM Customer Service Center, ensuring clear handling rules and a refined processing manner. The GM logs into game backstage to check log information, verifies game abnormity as complained by players, communicates with the game operator or platform to resolve the abnormity and resets the backstage information. FingerTango is dedicated to safeguarding rules and orders of games, and protecting players’ rights and interests in the game.

Quantity abnormality occupies database space and imposes unnecessary server burden, severely impacting the game experience of other players. Upon verification of such behavior, GMs will block the corresponding game account. To ensure fair play, the Group identifies and swiftly cracks down any plug-in behavior by analyzing player behaviors and collecting evidence, creating a stable and fair network environment for players to enjoy the games.
Furthermore, to support our ever-expanding product portfolio and business scope, and to develop products with better player experience, FingerTango has been building on the game pool, optimizing product launching strategies, improving our team by recruiting technological and marketing top talents and investing in resources.

Waste management
The Group has formulated the Waste Management Approach & Handling Procedure to strengthen waste management and regulate waste treatment, so as to reduce waste. We classify the recyclable materials, hazardous wastes, food waste and other wastes will be sent to professional third-party for treatment. We support reutilisation through recycling and have set up collection boxes of recyclable materials and collection points of waste batteries. We send obsolete computers or other electronics wastes to qualified companies to handle, so as to recycle.
To reduce the generation of wastes, we have adopted following waste and paper management measures:
-
Update and improve the electronic OA system to make use of network sharing, to circulate documents via emails, WeChat and QQ, so as to enhance office efficiency and achieve a paperless office
-
Where copying and printing of documents becomes necessary, the two-sided option will be applied
-
Make use of the blank side of paper after single-sided printing for copying
-
Reuse office stationery items. For example, we replace the ball pen refills for reusing ball pens, and reuse envelopes as far as possible

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Revenue and cost of revenue
Refer to Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
The Group is engaged in publishing third party/self-owned games to game players through third party and self-operated platforms. Revenue derives from sales of in-game virtual items and is recognised ratably over the estimates of playing period of paying players (“Player Relationship Period”) as the Group has a continuing implied obligation to game developers and game players. Commissions charged by platforms are recognised in cost of revenue ratably over the Player Relationship Period as the platforms have similar obligations to the Group. In addition, the Group pays commissions to third party game programmers who are sub-contractors of the Group’s self-owned game. The commissions are also recognised in cost of revenue ratably over the Player Relationship Period.

Independent Auditor’s Report
Key Audit Matters (continued)
Revenue and cost of revenue (continued)
During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group’s revenue from game publishing amounted to RMB748,234,000. The balance of contract liabilities amounted to RMB88,855,000 as at 31 December 2020.
During the year ended 31 December 2020, the commissions charged by platforms and game programmers (where the Group is the game owner) amounted to RMB205,299,000 and RMB45,942,000 respectively. The balance of contract costs amounted to RMB32,255,000 as at 31 December 2020.
The Group determines the Player Relationship Period on a game-by-game basis taking into account all known and relevant information at the time of assessment. We focused on this area due to the fact that management applied significant judgements and estimation in determining the Player Relationship Period of each game. These judgements and estimation included: (i) the determination of key assumptions applied in the Player Relationship Period, including but not limited to the games profile, target audience and players of different demographic groups; (ii) the identification of events that may trigger changes in the Player Relationship Period; and (iii) the estimation of Player Relationship Period of newly launched games by considering the performance of similar types of games.
Our audit procedures included, among others:
-
Understanding and evaluating the key internal controls in relation to the assessment of the Player Relationship Period;
-
On a sample basis, validating key internal controls in respect of the assessment of the Player Relationship Period, including management’s review and approval of (i) determination of the estimated Player Relationship Period of new games; and (ii) changes in the estimated Player Relationship Period of existing games based on periodic reassessment on any indications triggering such changes;
-
Validating the data generated from the Group’s information system used for the assessment of the Player Relationship Period, including testing the information technology general controls and verifying the data integrity;
-
Evaluating the reasonableness of key assumptions applied in the determination of Player Relationship Period by comparing the Group’s game profile with existing games category and assessing the variation on profile of target audience and players of different demographics groups;
-
Testing the accuracy of revenue and cost of revenue by confirming the sales proceeds amount with the platforms, testing the reconciliation between cash received and sales proceeds, and checking the commission percentage charged by platforms and third party game programmers to the contract, on a sample basis;
-
Testing the result of Player Relationship Period by reperforming the computation, on a sample basis;
-
Comparing the current Player Relationship Period with the results of prior years to assess the reasonableness of the original estimation, on a sample basis;
Annual Report 2020 91
Independent Auditor’s Report
Key Audit Matters (continued)
Revenue and cost of revenue (continued)
-
Comparing the newly launched games with existing game profile and assessing the reasonableness of the Player Relationship Period by comparing it with the results of similar types of games, on a sample basis; and
-
Recalculating revenue and contract liabilities, cost of revenue and contract costs based on the respective Player Relationship Period of each game on a sample basis.
We consider that the Group’s estimates of the contract assets and contract liabilities balances, as well as the revenue and cost of revenue recognised are supported by the available evidence.
Other receivables and notes receivables
Refer to Notes 25 and 26 to the consolidated financial statements.
The Group tested the amounts of other receivables and notes receivables for impairment. This impairment test is significant to our audit because the balances of other receivables and notes receivables of RMB407,732,000 and RMB208,177,000 as at 31 December 2020 are material to the consolidated financial statements respectively. In addition, the Group’s impairment test involves application of judgement and is based on estimates.
Our audit procedures included, among others:
-
Assessing the Group’s procedures on granting credit limits and credit periods to debtors;
-
Assessing the Group’s relationship and transaction history with the debtors;
-
Evaluating the Group’s impairment assessment;
-
Assessing ageing of the debts;
-
Assessing creditworthiness of the debtors;
-
Checking subsequent settlements from the debtors;
-
Assessing the value of the collateral for the debts; and
-
Assessing the disclosure of the Group’s exposure to credit risk in the consolidated financial statements.
We consider that the Group’s impairment test for other receivables and notes receivables are supported by the available evidence.

Key Audit Matters (continued)
Investments at fair value through profit or loss
Refer to Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements.
The Group measured its investments at fair value through profit or loss with the changes in fair value recognised in the consolidated profit or loss. This fair value measurement is significant to our audit because the balance of investments at fair value through profit or loss of RMB147,792,000 as at 31 December 2020 is material to the consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Group’s fair value measurement involves application of judgement and is based on assumptions and estimates.
Our audit procedures included, among others:
-
Assessing the competence, independence and integrity of the external valuer engaged by client;
-
Obtaining the external valuation reports and meeting with the external valuer to discuss and challenge the valuation process, methodologies used and market evidence to support significant judgements and assumptions applied in the valuation model;
-
Checking key assumptions and input data in the valuation model to supporting evidence;
-
Checking arithmetical accuracy of the valuation model; and
-
Assessing the disclosure of the fair value measurement in the consolidated financial statements.
We consider that the Group’s fair value measurement of the investments at fair value through profit or loss are supported by the available evidence.
Other Information in the Annual Report
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all the information in the Company’s annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent Auditor’s Report
Responsibilities of Directors for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs issued by the IASB and the disclosure requirement of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is located at the HKICPA’s website at: http://www.hkicpa.org.hk/en/standards-and-regulations/standards/auditing-assurance/auditre/

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020
1. General information
FingerTango Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 9 January 2018 as an exempted company with limited liability. The address of its registered office is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman KY1-1111, Cayman Islands. The address of its principal place of business in Hong Kong is 40/F, Sunlight Tower, 248 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong.

The address of its headquarters is 3/F, Huixin Building, 1132 Zhongshan Avenue West, Tianhe District, Guangzhou, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Company’s shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”).
The Company is an investment holding company. The principal activities of the subsidiaries of the Company is set out in note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of the directors of the Company (the “Directors”), as at 31 December 2020, LJ Technology Holding Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”), is the ultimate holding company; and Mr. Liu Jie is the ultimate controlling party of the Company.
2. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards
In the current year, the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) has adopted all the new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 January 2020. IFRSs comprise International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”); International Accounting Standards; and Interpretations. The adoption of these new and revised IFRSs did not result in significant changes to the Group’s accounting policies, presentation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements and amounts reported for the current year and prior years.
The Group has not applied the new and revised IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new and revised IFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new and revised IFRSs would have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.
Annual Report 2020 101
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020
3. Significant accounting policies
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs issued by IASB, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by investments which are carried at their fair values.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain key assumptions and estimates. It also requires the directors to exercise its judgements in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving critical judgements and areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to these consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to 31 December. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Group has power over an entity when the Group has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities, i.e. activities that significantly affect the entity’s returns.
When assessing control, the Group considers its potential voting rights as well as potential voting rights held by other parties, to determine whether it has control. A potential voting right is considered only if the holder has the practical ability to exercise that right.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date the control ceases.
Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised profits are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the Company’s presentation currency and the functional currency of the principal operating subsidiaries of the Group. The functional currency of the Company is Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”). The directors consider that choosing RMB as the presentation currency best suits the needs of the shareholders and investors.
(b) Transactions and balances in each entity’s financial statements
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency on initial recognition using the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from this translation policy are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the dates when the fair values are determined.
When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
(c) Translation on consolidation
The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the Company’s presentation currency are translated into the Company’s presentation currency as follows:
-
(i) Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;
-
(ii) Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates on the transaction dates); and
-
(iii) All resulting exchange differences are recognised in the exchange reserve.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities and of borrowings are recognised in the exchange reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in consolidated profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
Annual Report 2020 103
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated at rates sufficient to write off their cost less their residual values over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The principal useful lives are as follows:
| Servers and other equipment | 3–5 years |
|---|---|
| Motor vehicles | 4 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Over the shorter of estimated useful lives or remaining terms of the lease |
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
The gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset, and is recognised in profit or loss.
Leases
Leases are recognised as right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities when the leased assets are available for use by the Group. Right-of-use assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation of right-of-use assets is calculated at rates to write off their cost over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. The principal annual rate of buildings is 50%.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities, lease payments prepaid, initial direct costs and the restoration costs. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate can be determined, or otherwise the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability.
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expenses in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Short-term leases are leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets are assets of value below United States dollars (“USD”) 5,000 (equivalent to RMB35,000).

Under certain exclusive online mobile games arrangements entered between the Group and the game developers, the Group pays upfront license fees to the game developers to obtain an exclusive right to operate the games in specified geographic areas for a certain period of time. The Group recognises the exclusive license fee as an intangible asset. The intangible asset is amortised on a straight-line basis upon the commercial launch of the related online mobile games over the shorter of the estimated economic game life and the license period of the games, which range from 2 to 5 years. The amortisation is expensed to cost of revenue.
Computer software
Computer software is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 years.
Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire; the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets; or the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets but has not retained control on the assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially recognised at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs except in the case of investments at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of investments at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets of the Group are classified as under the following categories:
-
Financial assets at amortised cost; and
-
Investments at fair value through profit or loss.
(a) Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets (including trade and other receivables) are classified under this category if they satisfy both of the following conditions:
-
the assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms of the assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less loss allowance for expected credit losses.
(b) Investments at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified under this category if they do not meet the conditions to be measured at amortised cost and the conditions of debt investments at fair value through other comprehensive income unless the Group designates an equity investment that is not held for trading as at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition.
Investments at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value with any gains or losses arising from changes in fair values recognised in profit or loss. The fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss are net of any interest income and dividend income. Interest income and dividend income are recognised in profit or loss.

Loss allowances for expected credit losses
The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortised cost. Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of that financial instrument (“lifetime expected credit losses”) for trade receivables, or if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition.
If, at the end of the reporting period, the credit risk on a financial instrument (other than trade receivables) has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to the portion of lifetime expected credit losses that represents the expected credit losses that result from default events on that financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting period.
The amount of expected credit losses or reversal to adjust the loss allowance at the end of the reporting period to the required amount is recognised in profit or loss as an impairment gain or loss.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument under IFRSs. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
Annual Report 2020 107
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer with reference to the customary business practices and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. For a contract where the period between the payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised product or service exceeds one year, the consideration is adjusted for the effect of a significant financing component.
The Group recognises revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Depending on the terms of a contract and the laws that apply to that contract, a performance obligation can be satisfied over time or at a point in time. A performance obligation is satisfied over time if:
-
the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance;
-
the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or
-
the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
If a performance obligation is satisfied over time, revenue is recognised by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the product or service.
Other revenue
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
Employee benefits
(a) Employee leave entitlements
Employee entitlements to annual leave and long service leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long service leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.
Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.

Employee benefits (continued)
(b) Pension obligations
The Group’s subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC contribute based on certain percentage of the salaries of the employees to a defined contribution retirement benefit plan and other defined contribution social security plans organised by relevant government authorities in the PRC on a monthly basis. Employees of the Group in the PRC are required to participate in a defined contribution retirement scheme administered and operated by the local municipal government. The Group contributes funds which are calculated on a fixed percentage of the employees’ salary (subject to a floor and cap) as set by local municipal governments to each scheme locally to fund the retirement benefits of the employees. The government authorities undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations payable and other social security payables to all existing and future retired employees under these plans and the Group has no further obligation beyond the contributions made. Contributions to these plans are expensed as incurred. Assets of the plans are held and managed by government authorities and are separate from those of the Group.
(c) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised at the earlier of the dates when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognises restructuring costs and involves the payment of termination benefits.
Share-based payment
The Group operates a restricted share unit (“RSU”) scheme (“RSU Scheme”) which is an equity-settled share-based compensation plan under which share awards are granted to certain directors, employees and consultants as part of their remuneration packages.
Equity-settled share-based payments to directors, employees and consultants are measured at the fair value (excluding the effect of non market-based vesting conditions) of the equity instruments at the date of grant. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the share-based awards is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the share-based awards granted:
-
including any market performance conditions;
-
excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions; and
-
including the impact of any non-vesting conditions.

For the year ended 31 December 2020
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Share-based payment (continued)
At the end of the reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of share-based awards that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing performance and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
In addition, in some circumstances employees may provide services in advance of the grant date and therefore the grant date fair value is estimated for the purposes of recognising the expense during the period between service commencement period and grant date.
Government grants
A government grant is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to it and that the grant will be received.
Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period to match them with the costs they are intended to compensate.
Taxation
Income tax represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit recognised in profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Taxation (continued)
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Segment reporting
Operating segments and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Group’s various lines of business.
Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of productions processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets except deferred tax assets, investments and receivables to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of any impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow is remote.

4. Critical judgement and key estimates
Critical judgement in applying accounting policies
In the process of applying the accounting policies, the Directors have made the following judgement that has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:
Contractual Arrangements
The Group conducts its business through Shanghai Youmin Networks Technology Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “PRC Operating Entities”) in the PRC. Due to the regulatory restrictions on the foreign ownership of the publishing of mobile game business (the “Publishing Business”) in the PRC, the Group does not have any equity interest in Shanghai Youmin Networks Technology Limited. The Directors assessed whether or not the Group has control over Shanghai Youmin Networks Technology Limited and its subsidiaries by assessing whether it has the rights to variable returns from its involvement with Shanghai Youmin Networks Technology Limited and its subsidiaries and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over Shanghai Youmin Networks Technology Limited and its subsidiaries. After assessment, the Directors concluded that the Group has control over Shanghai Youmin Networks Technology Limited and its subsidiaries as a result of a series of agreements signed on 24 March 2018 (the “Contractual Arrangements”) and accordingly the financial position and the operating results of Shanghai Youmin Networks Technology Limited and its subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Nevertheless, the Contractual Arrangements may not be as effective as direct legal ownership in providing the Group with direct control over Shanghai Youmin Networks Technology Limited and its subsidiaries and uncertainties presented by the PRC legal system could impede the Group’s beneficiary rights of the results, assets and liabilities of Shanghai Youmin Networks Technology Limited and its subsidiaries. The Directors, based on the advice of its legal counsel, consider that the Contractual Arrangements with Shanghai Youmin Networks Technology Limited and its equity holders are in compliance with the relevant PRC laws and regulations and are legally enforceable.

4. Critical judgement and key estimates (continued)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.
(a) Revenue recognition
Pursuant to game publishing and operation arrangements signed between the Group and the third party game developers or third party distribution platforms (“Platforms”), the Group’s responsibilities in publishing and operating the licensed or commissioned-developed games vary for each game. The determination of whether to record these revenues using gross or net basis is based on an assessment of various factors, including but not limited to whether the Group (i) is the primary obligor to the game developers and game players in the arrangements; (ii) has latitude in establishing the selling price of virtual items; (iii) changes the products or performs part of the services; (iv) has involvement in the determination of product and service specifications; and (v) has the rights to determine secondary Platforms and payment channels.
(b) Estimates of the playing period of paying players (“Player Relationship Period”) in the Group’s game publishing services
As described in note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group recognises revenue from virtual items ratably over the Player Relationship Period. The determination of Player Relationship Period of each game is based on the Group’s best estimate that takes into account all known and relevant information at the time of assessment. Such estimates are subject to re-evaluation on a semi-annual basis. Any adjustments arising from changes in the Player Relationship Period as a result of new information will be accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.
(c) Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in several jurisdictions. Significant estimates are required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020
4. Critical judgement and key estimates (continued)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
(d) Impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts
The Group makes impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts based on assessments of the recoverability of the trade and other receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. Impairments arise where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of bad and doubtful debts requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the actual result is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of the trade and other receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the year in which such estimate has been changed.
(e) Fair value of investments
In the absence of quoted market prices in an active market, the Directors estimate the fair value of the Group’s unlisted wealth management products and private equity investments, details of which are set out in note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, by considering information from a variety of sources, including the latest published financial information, the historical data on market volatility as well as the price and industry and sector performance of the Group’s unlisted wealth management products and private equity investments.
5. Financial risk management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign currency risk, price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance.
(a) Foreign currency risk
The Group has certain exposure to foreign currency risk as most of its business transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in either RMB or USD. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities. The Group will monitor its foreign currency exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.
As at 31 December 2020, if RMB had weakened/strengthened 5% against USD with all other variables held constant, consolidated profit after income tax for the year would have been RMB1,714,000 (2019: RMB3,844,000) higher/lower, arising mainly as a result of the foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of USD denominated cash and cash equivalents and receivables of the subsidiaries of the Company in the PRC.
116 FingerTango Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2020
5. Financial risk management (continued)
(b) Price risk
The Group’s investments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Therefore, the Group is exposed to equity security price risk. The Directors manage this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with difference risk profiles.
As at 31 December 2020, if the fair value of the investments increase/decrease by 5%, profit before income tax for the year would have been RMB7,390,000 (2019: RMB5,168,000) higher/lower, arising as a result of the fair value gain/loss of the investments.
(c) Credit risk
The carrying amount of the bank and cash balances, trade and other receivables, and investments included in the statement of financial position represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to the Group’s financial assets.
The credit risk on bank and cash balances and investments at fair value through profit or loss are limited because the counterparties are reputable financial institutions in the PRC and reputable international financial institutions outside of the PRC. There has been no recent history of default in relation to these financial institutions.
Trade receivables are due from Platforms and payment channels in cooperation with the Group. If the strategic relationship with the Platforms and payment channels is terminated or scaled-back; or if the Platforms and payment channels alter the co-operative arrangements; or if they experience financial difficulties in paying the Group, the Group’s game publishing receivables might be adversely affected in terms of recoverability. To minimise this risk, the Group maintains frequent communications with the Platforms and payment channels to ensure the effective credit control. In view of the history of cooperation with the Platforms and payment channels and the sound collection history of receivables due from them, the Directors believe that the credit risk inherent in the Group’s outstanding trade receivable balances due from the Platforms and payment channels is low.
For other receivables, management makes periodic collective assessments as well as individual assessment on the recoverability of other receivables based on historical settlement records and past experience. The Directors believe that there is no material credit risk inherent in the Group’s outstanding balance of other receivables.
Annual Report 2020 117
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020
5. Financial risk management (continued)
(c) Credit risk (continued)
The Group considers whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk of financial assets on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period by comparing the risk of a default occurring as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwardinglooking information. Especially the following information is used:
-
internal credit rating;
-
external credit rating (if available);
-
actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the borrower’s ability to meet its obligations;
-
actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the borrower;
-
significant changes in the value of the collateral or in the quality of guarantees or credit enhancements; and
-
significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the borrower, including changes in the payment status of borrowers.
A significant increase in credit risk is presumed if a debtor is more than 30 days past due in making a contractual payment. A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 60 days of when they fall due.
Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Group. The Group normally categorises a loan or receivable for write off when a debtor fails to make contractual payments greater than 360 days past due. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Group, if practicable and economical, continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due.
The Group uses two categories for non-trade receivables which reflect their credit risk and how the loan loss provision is determined for each of the categories. In calculating the expected credit loss rates, the Group considers historical loss rates for each category and adjusts for forward looking data.

6. Fair value measurements
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.

- (c) Disclosure of valuation process used by the Group and valuation techniques and inputs used in fair value measurements at 31 December 2020
The Group’s chief financial officer is responsible for the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair value measurements. The chief financial officer reports directly to the board of directors (the “Board”) for these fair value measurements. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the chief financial officer and the Board at least twice a year.
For level 3 fair value measurements, the Group has a team that manages the valuation exercise of level 3 financial instruments for financial reporting purposes. The team manages the valuation exercise of the investments on a case-by-case basis. At least twice every year, the team would use valuation techniques to determine the fair value of the Group’s level 3 financial instruments. External valuation experts will be involved when necessary.

Game publishing service revenue
The Group is a publisher of online mobile games developed by third party game developers or its own through commissioned development arrangements. The Group licenses online games from game developers and earns game publishing service revenue by publishing them to the game players through Platforms, include commissioned development arrangements. The Group licenses online games from game developers and major online platforms and application stores (installed in mobile telecommunications devices), and its self-operated platform. The games licensed to the Group are operated under a free-to-play model whereby game players can play the games free of charge and are charged for the purchase of virtual items via payment channels, such as the various mobile carriers and third-party internet payment systems (collectively referred to as “payment channels”).
(i) Principal-Agent consideration
Third party developed games
Proceeds earned from selling game tokens and other virtual items are shared between the Group and game developers, with the amount payable to game developers generally calculated based on face value of game tokens or other virtual items determined by game developers, after deducting certain deductible fees and multiplied by a predetermined percentage for each game. The deductible fees are predetermined and negotiated game by game, including the fees to be shared with the Platforms and payment handling costs charged by the payment channels.

Game publishing service revenue (continued)
(i) Principal-Agent consideration (continued)
Third party developed games (continued)
With respect to the Group’s licensed games, the game developers have the primary responsibilities for the hosting and maintenance of the game servers and providing the game content to the game players and have the right to determine the pricing of in-game virtual items and the specification, modification or any update of the game themselves or as proposed by the Group. The Group’s responsibilities to the game developers are publishing, providing payment solution, market promotion service, customer service and maintaining the access portal network. Both the game developers and the Group have responsibilities to ensure the game players can continue to gain access to the mobile game to get the games experience and benefit after the sale of the virtual items. Therefore, the Group’s service obligations as a publisher to the game developers are also directly linked to each user’s engagement. The Group views both game developers and game players to be its customers. The Group considers for each sharing of payment made by the game player, it has implied obligation to maintain the access portal network for certain period for the game player to access to the game. Accordingly, the Group records the game publishing service revenue from in-game payments for these licensed games, net of amounts paid to game developers and recognised the revenue over the Player Relationship Period as detailed in note 7(ii) to the consolidated financial statements.
The Group published games on its self-operated platform and via cooperation with the Platforms, under which the Group is responsible for determining the Platforms and payment channels, and providing customer services as well as marketing activities. For games self-operated by the Group, payment channels are responsible for payment collections. For games cooperated with the Platforms, the Platforms are responsible for distribution, platform maintenance, paying player authentication and payment collections related to the games.
As the Group is solely responsible for identifying, contracting with and maintaining the relationships of the Platforms and payment channels, commission fees payable to the Platforms and payment channels are included in cost of revenues and presented on a gross basis. The Group considers it is the primary obligor to the game developers for the reasons identified above as it has been given latitude by the game developers in selecting different Platforms and payment channels for its services to the game developers.
Different from the above analysis, for games cooperated with Apple App, the game developers are fully aware of Apple App’s roles and responsibilities. The Group considered that Apple App and itself provide services to the game developers together, as the Group does not have the latitude in selecting and negotiating with Apple App and does not have the primary responsibility to game developers for the service provided by them. Commissions charged by Apple App are deducted from revenue.

Game publishing service revenue (continued)
(i) Principal-Agent consideration (continued)
Commissioned-developed games
The Group commissioned third-party game programmers to develop mobile games based on the Group’s instruction. Under the game development and operation arrangement, the Group owns the commissioneddeveloped games’ copyrights and other intellectual property, and takes primary responsibilities of game development and game operation, including designing, development, and updating of the games including the game content, as well as the pricing of virtual items, providing on-going updates of new contents and bug fixing, determining the Platforms and payment channels, and providing customer services. Under this type of agreement, the Group considers itself the principal in this arrangement to the game players. Accordingly, the Group records the online game revenue from these games on a gross basis. Commission fees payable to the game programmers and the Platforms, and payment handling costs charged by payment channels are recorded as cost of revenue.
(ii) Timing of revenue recognition
Third party developed games
As detailed in note 7(i) to the consolidated financial statements, the Group has a continuing implied obligation to game developers and game players, therefore, for the purposes of determining when services have been provided to the respective players, the Group estimates the Player Relationship Period on a game-by-game basis and reassesses such periods monthly. Revenues of game publishing service are recognised ratably over the Player Relationship Period for a specific game. If there are insufficient data to determine the Player Relationship Period, such as in the case of a newly launched game, it estimates the Player Relationship Period based on other similar types of games developed by third-party developers until the new game establishes its own patterns and history. The Group considers the games profile, target audience, and its appeal to players of different demographics groups in estimating the Player Relationship Period.
Commissioned-developed games
Revenue of commissioned-developed games are recognised ratably over the Player Relationship Period or as the consumable virtual items are consumed.
If the Group does not have the ability to differentiate revenue attributable to durable virtual items from consumable virtual items for a specific game, the Group recognises revenue from both durable and consumable virtual items for that game ratably over the Player Relationship Period, which is similar to the policy for timing of revenue recognition of third party developed games.

A contract liability primarily consists of the unamortised revenue from sales of virtual items for mobile games, where there is still an implied obligation to be fulfilled by the Group over time.
Costs to obtain contracts, mainly related to contract acquisition costs, which primarily consist of unamortised commissions charged by the Platforms and third party game programmers are capitalised as contract costs and amortised over the Player Relationship Period because the Group expects to recover these costs. Capitalised contract costs are amortised to profit or loss when the related revenue is recognised.

The Group monitors capital (including share capital) by regularly reviewing the capital structure. As a part of this review, the Directors consider the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. In the opinion of the Directors, the Group’s capital risk is low.

The share-based payments reserve represents the fair value of the actual or estimated number of unexercised share options and unvested RSUs granted to directors, employees and consultants of the Group recognised in accordance with the accounting policy adopted for equity-settled share-based payments in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC and the Articles of Association of subsidiaries located in the PRC, it is required to appropriate 10% of the annual statutory net profits after offsetting any prior years’ losses as determined under the PRC accounting standards, to the statutory surplus reserve fund before distributing the net profit. When the balance of the statutory surplus reserve fund reaches 50% of the share capital, any further appropriation is at the discretion of shareholders. The statutory surplus reserve fund can be used to offset prior years’ losses, if any, and may be converted into share capital by issuing new shares to shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them, provided that the remaining balance of the statutory surplus reserve fund after such issue is no less than 25% of share capital. As at 31 December 2017, the balance of the statutory surplus reserve fund of all profitable subsidiaries had reached 50% of the share capital. The Group did not make any further appropriation for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019.

The foreign currency translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations. The reserve is dealt with in accordance with the accounting policies in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
