MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) hereby presents the unaudited interim financial results of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2021, together with the comparative figures for the corresponding period in 2020, as set out below.
BUSINESS REVIEW
Founded in 1979, the Group is one of the long-established and well-known travel agents in Hong Kong. The Group’s businesses include:
-
the design, development and sales of package tours, the sales of air tickets and/or hotel accommodations (the “FIT products”) and the sales of ancillary travel related products and services (collectively, the “Travel Related Products and Services”);
-
investments in tourism and travel technology related businesses (the “Tourism and Travel Technology Investments”); and
-
the engagement in the process of gaining cryptocurrencies by solving cryptographic equations through verifying data blocks and adding transaction records to a public ledger known as a blockchain (the “Cryptocurrency Mining”), which commenced in July 2021.
The Group markets its Travel Related Products and Services under the brand “縱橫遊WWPKG”. Its major Travel Related Products and Services is the provision of outbound package tours to various destinations with particular focus on Japanbound tours. The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic has been casting severe implications for many business sectors. In particular, it has brought the global tourism industry to a screeching halt since year 2020. The Group’s business operations have been disrupted by the travel restrictions imposed across the world. Owing to the pandemic, on the supply side, majority of the Group’s airline suppliers have been operating bare skeleton or limited passenger flight schedules, while on the demand side, leisure travel sentiment has remained low. The Group began to cancel its outbound package tours, starting with those departing for China on 26 January 2020, while package tours bound for Japan have been suspended for over eighteen months since 9 March 2020. As a result, minimal revenue and gross profit were generated from the Travel Related Products and Services segment for both six months ended 30 September 2021 and 2020. Nonetheless, the Group continued to mitigate its loss for the six months ended 30 September 2021 through adopting the following cost-saving measures amid the pandemic:
-
implemented salary reduction for the Directors;
-
streamlined workflows and eliminated non-value added positions or activities;
-
encouraged employees to take no-pay leave and/or annual leave;
-
obtained rent concessions on branch and office premise leases from the landlords; and
-
reduced advertising and promotion expenses.

WWPKG Holdings Company Limited
In order to alleviate its liquidity pressure, the Group disposed of all of its listed equity securities held in Hong Kong for an aggregate gross proceeds of approximately HK$9.9 million (exclusive of transaction costs) during the six months ended 30 September 2021 (refer to section headed “Significant Investments, Material Acquisitions And Disposals Of Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures” for details). The Group had also obtained a loan facility totalling HK$15.0 million from its ultimate parent, of which HK$5.0 million has been drawn down by the Group during the six months ended 30 September 2021 in order to further enhance its liquidity.
With the intention to diversify its business so as to expand its income sources and future earning capability and potential, the Group commenced Cryptocurrency Mining in July 2021. For the six months ended 30 September 2021, a segment loss of approximately HK$0.4 million was reported on Cryptocurrency Mining, which mainly comprised of depreciation of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets of approximately HK$0.2 million and administrative expenses, including utilities, employee benefit expenses, legal and professional fees and auditor’s remuneration, of approximately HK$0.3 million.

Note: The Group’s revenue from sales of FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services are recognised on net basis as the Group renders its services as an agent.
Package Tours
Minimal revenue from package tours was recorded during the six months ended 30 September 2021, as all of the Group’s outbound package tours continued to be suspended amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Corresponding gross profit of approximately HK$0.7 million mainly resulted from the launch of green lifestyle local tours that were subsidised by the Hong Kong SAR government and recognition of unutilised membership award credits as revenue upon expiration.
FIT products
No sale of FIT products was conducted during the six months ended 30 September 2021 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interim report 2021/2022
Ancillary travel related products and services
Ancillary travel related products and services generally include (i) travel insurance, (ii) admission tickets to attractions such as theme parks and shows, (iii) guided local tours and experiences, (iv) local transportation such as airport transportation, (v) overseas transportation such as rail passes, (vi) car rental, (vii) prepaid telephone and internet cards; (viii) travel visa applications; and (ix) trading of merchandise.
For the six months ended 30 September 2021, some revenue was generated from trading of food items and health related products whereas revenue for the corresponding period in 2020 mainly arose from trading of imported face masks amid the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the six months ended 30 September 2021, selling expenses increased by 111.1% to approximately HK$1.6 million mainly due to the increase in staff costs arising from the compensatory arrangement in relation to the Group’s termination of employment contracts with its tour escorts (refer to section headed “Employees And Remuneration Policies” for details), which was offset by (i) the decrease in depreciation of right-of-use assets; and (ii) the adoption of cost-saving measures as discussed in the sub-section headed “Business Review” above, including reduction in advertising and promotion expenses.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses mainly consist of (i) staff costs, representing the Directors’ remuneration and the salaries and benefits for the Group’s administrative and operational staff; (ii) depreciation of right-of-use assets for the Group’s office premises; (iii) office, telecommunication and utility expenses incurred in the Group’s daily operations; (iv) legal and professional fees; and (v) other miscellaneous administrative expenses.
For the six months ended 30 September 2021, administrative expenses decreased slightly by 2.7% to approximately HK$8.5 million mainly due to (i) the decrease in depreciation of property, plant and equipment; (ii) the decrease in other administrative expenses including repair and maintenance costs, office equipment rental and entertainment expenses; (iii) the decrease in auditor’s remuneration; and (iv) the adoption of cost-saving measures as discussed in the sub-section headed “Business Review” above, including salary reduction for the Directors, reduction in staff costs as a result of no-pay leave and/or annual leave taken by the Group’s staff, which were offset by the receipt of wage subsidies provided by the Hong Kong SAR government under the Employment Support Scheme during the corresponding period in 2020.

WWPKG Holdings Company Limited
Loss and total comprehensive loss for the period
The Group’s loss and total comprehensive loss for the six months ended 30 September 2021 decreased by 48.8% to approximately HK$5.5 million, which was mainly attributable to the following:
-
in respect of the Company’s investment in the shares of CTEH INC. (“CTEH”), a gain on disposal of the CTEH shares of approximately HK$2.7 million was recognised for the six months ended 30 September 2021, as opposed to the recognition of fair value losses of approximately HK$3.3 million on the CTEH shares held by the Company as of 30 September 2020; offset by
-
the increase in selling expenses by approximately HK$0.8 million for reasons as discussed in the sub-section headed “Financial Review — Selling Expenses” above.

As at 30 September 2021, the Group’s net asset value was approximately HK$19.6 million (31 March 2021: approximately HK$24.5 million). The Group’s cash and cash equivalents were approximately HK$14.0 million as at 30 September 2021 (31 March 2021: cash and cash equivalents, including short-term fixed deposits, of approximately HK$12.8 million).

WWPKG Holdings Company Limited
FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE
The Group’s revenue was mainly denominated in Hong Kong dollars. However, the settlement of substantial portion of its land costs, such as hotel tariffs, transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs, is denominated in Japanese Yen. The Group is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily with respect to Japanese Yen. The Group has implemented foreign exchange risk management procedures to manage exposure to foreign exchange risk in relation to Japanese Yen. The procedures were established to control the foreign exchange risk to an acceptable level by ensuring that the Group is able to obtain sufficient amount of Japanese Yen at acceptable exchange rates for meeting its payment obligations arising from business operations and at the same time do not purchase unnecessary amounts of Japanese Yen more than it requires. The purchase amounts were limited to the corresponding costs of the travel elements payable in Japanese Yen for the Japan bound tours for the coming four weeks (or eight weeks during peak seasons). Such amounts were estimated based on the actual enrolment data (i.e. headcount enrolled for the Group’s Japan bound tours) and the costs of travel elements payable in Japanese Yen per headcount, of which such costs were determined with reference to the historical spending and the effect of general inflation.
Although the Group may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with major and reputable financial institutions and foreign currency services companies of long establishment history to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risk, it does not intend to speculate on the future direction of foreign exchange fluctuation. As at 30 September 2021, the Group had outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts denominated in Japanese Yen of notional principal amounts of approximately HK$0.7 million (31 March 2021: outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts denominated in Japanese Yen of notional principal amounts of approximately HK$0.7 million). Management will continue to evaluate the Group’s foreign exchange risk management procedures and take actions as appropriate to minimize the Group’s exposure whenever necessary.
EMPLOYEES AND REMUNERATION POLICIES
As at 30 September 2021, the Group had a workforce of 42 employees (31 March 2021: 91), excluding the Directors. Salaries of employees are maintained at competitive levels. The Group operates a defined contribution mandatory provident fund scheme for all its employees. The Group also offers discretionary bonuses to its employees by reference to the performance of individual employees and the overall performance of the Group. Total employee benefits expenses, excluding the Directors’ emoluments, incurred by the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2021 amounted to approximately HK$4.9 million (six months ended 30 September 2020: approximately HK$2.5 million). The reduction in the Group’s workforce was mainly attributable to the termination of employment contracts with 44 tour escorts of the Group in August 2021. The compensatory arrangement for these tour escorts, which included payments of outstanding wages, payments in lieu of notice, payments for untaken annual leave and severance payments, where applicable, amounted to approximately HK$1.8 million and was charged to employee benefits expenses for the six months ended 30 September 2021.
The Company has adopted a share option scheme on 16 December 2016 with a term of 10 years (the “Share Option Scheme”). The Share Option Scheme is designed to motivate eligible participants, including executives and key employees, who may make a contribution to the Group, and enables the Group to attract and retain individuals with experience and ability and to reward them for their contributions. During the six months ended 30 September 2021, no share option had been granted, exercised, lapsed or cancelled under the Share Option Scheme.
The Group did not experience any significant labour disputes that led to any disruption of its normal business operations during the six months ended 30 September 2021.

Interim report 2021/2022
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the initial public offering of the Company, after deducting underwriting commissions and all related expenses, amounted to approximately HK$57.0 million (the “Net Proceeds”). As at 30 September 2021, the unutilised Net Proceeds of approximately HK$4.1 million were deposited into licensed banks in Hong Kong. Due to the generally volatile operating environment of the Group in face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Net Proceeds were not fully utilised as at 30 September 2021.

INTERIM DIVIDEND
In order to retain more cash to finance the working capital requirements and future development of the Group, the Board does not recommend the payment of interim dividend for the six months ended 30 September 2021 (six months ended 30 September 2020: nil). The Board will consider future dividend distribution according to the Company’s dividend policy.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has taken a heavy toll on the global economy and made the Group’s operating environment extremely difficult. Given the Group derives a majority of its revenue from the provision of outbound package tours, the entry restrictions, visa suspensions and quarantine measures imposed by various governments, together with the low sentiment for leisure travel, will continue to have significant adverse impact on the Group’s operational and financial performance for the rest of the financial year ending 31 March 2022, if not longer. The Group is closely monitoring the development of the pandemic and will continue to adopt necessary measures to control costs and to enhance cash flow and operational efficiency. Furthermore, by incorporating Cryptocurrency Mining operated by Firepower Technology, the Group expects to expand its scope of business so as to enhance its future earning capability and potential.

WWPKG Holdings Company Limited
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 8 June 2016 as an exempted company with limited liability under Companies Law, Cap. 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands. The registered address of the Company is at P.O. Box 1350, Clifton House, 75 Fort Street, Grand Cayman KY1-1108, Cayman Islands. Its principal place of business in Hong Kong is located at Unit 706-8, 7th Floor, Lippo Sun Plaza, 28 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
The Company is an investment holding company. The principal activities of the Group are the sales of Travel Related Products and Services, Tourism and Travel Technology Investments and Cryptocurrency Mining.
The Shares were listed on GEM on 12 January 2017.
The ultimate holding company of the Group is WWPKG Investment, a company incorporated in the BVI.
The interim condensed consolidated financial information is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Company, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 September 2021 has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and the applicable disclosure provisions of the GEM Listing Rules. The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of this interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021, except for the amended Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) effective for the first time for periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021. Details of the amended standards adopted and their effect on the Group’s accounting policies are set out in note 3.
Going concern basis
For the six months ended 30 September 2021, the Group recorded a total comprehensive loss of HK$5,473,000. As at 30 September 2021, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of HK$14,006,000 and borrowings, which included bank borrowings and amount due to a shareholder, of HK$10,657,000.
19
Interim report 2021/2022
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)
Going concern basis (Continued)
Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 in January 2020, precautionary and control measures have since been implemented in various countries, which included entry restrictions and quarantine measures over international travel. Given the Group derives a majority of its revenue from the provision of outbound package tours to customers located in Hong Kong and Macau with its particular focus on Japan-bound tours, the Group’s business operations have been adversely affected by the pandemic and the travel restrictions imposed across the world. The Group’s outbound package tours have been cancelled since 9 March 2020 and the suspension of outbound package tours continues up to the date of this report. Despite vaccines are being launched to combat against the COVID-19 pandemic, there remains a significant degree of uncertainty over the severity and duration of the global outbreak, as well as the trajectory of the economic recovery once the outbreak has been contained.
In view of these circumstances and the uncertainties related to the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Directors have given careful consideration to the future liquidity requirements and operating performance of the Group and its available sources of financing to assess whether the Group would have sufficient financial resources to fulfill its financial obligations to continue as a going concern. The Group has been continuously implementing measures and plans to improve its financial position and to alleviate its liquidity pressure. These measures and plans include but are not limited to the following:
-
(i) The Group has been closely monitoring the latest developments of travel restrictions worldwide and consulting with the relevant authorities from time to time to obtain the latest updates on the COVID-19 situation concerning Japan and other destinations. Furthermore, the Group has been maintaining close communication with its suppliers, particularly those supporting the Group’s tours bound for Japan, to understand the latest situation locally and their readiness to resume operations upon uplifting of the travel restrictions. Nevertheless, in view of the continuous suspension of outbound package tours, the Group has diversified its business and developed new business activities during the period, namely Cryptocurrency Mining operated by Firepower Technology.
-
(ii) As discussed in the sub-section headed “Management Discussion And Analysis — Business Review” on page 4 in this report, the Group has adopted and will continue to adopt a series of measures to control costs and to enhance cash flow and operational efficiency.
-
(iii) As at the date of this report, the Group had available bank overdraft facilities of HK$10,000,000 and a loan facility of HK$10,000,000 from WWPKG Investment, the ultimate parent of the Company.
-
(iv) The Group is endeavouring to seek additional sources of financing.
Notwithstanding the above, whether the Group is able to achieve its measures and plans as described above, which incorporate assumptions about future events and conditions, are subject to inherent uncertainties. In particular, whether the Group will be able to generate adequate operating cash flows to continue as a going concern would depend upon when international travel restrictions and quarantine measures will be uplifted such that the Group could resume the operation of its outbound tours on a timely basis, especially Japan. The Directors have reviewed the Group’s cash flow projections, which cover a period of not less than twelve months from 30 September 2021, and believe that the Group will have sufficient financial resources to satisfy its future working capital requirements as and when they fall due within the next twelve months from 30 September 2021. Accordingly, the Directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the Group’s consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
3 ADOPTION OF HKFRSs
The following amendments to HKFRSs that are effective for the accounting period of the Group beginning on 1 April 2021 have been published:
HKAS 39, HKFRS 4, HKFRS 7, HKFRS 9 and Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Phase 2 HKFRS 16 (Amendments) HKFRS 16 (Amendment) COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021
The Group has applied, for the first time, the above amendments to standards issued by the HKICPA. The impact of the adoption of Amendment to HKFRS 16 COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 has been summarised below. The other amendments to standards did not have any significant impact on the Group’s accounting policies.
The Group has not early adopted any new standards and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.
The Amendment to HKFRS 16 COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 extends the availability of the practical expedient in paragraph 46A of HKFRS 16 so that it applies to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022, provided the other conditions for applying the practical expedient are met.
During the six months ended 30 September 2021, the Group has entered into additional rent concessions that satisfied the criteria for the application of the extended practical expedient. The Group has applied the practical expedient to these rent concessions. Accordingly, COVID-19-related rent concessions of HK$705,000 have been accounted for as a reduction in the variable lease payments by derecognising part of the lease liabilities and crediting to profit or loss for the six months ended 30 September 2021.
4 ESTIMATES
The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial information, significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.
21
Interim report 2021/2022
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
5 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
5.1 Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose itself to a variety of financial risks, including foreign exchange risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. There have been no significant changes in the risk management policies since the last year end.
5.2 Fair value estimation
The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, deposits and other receivables, trade and other payables, lease liabilities and bank borrowings approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value in the interim condensed consolidated financial information. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table:

Derivative financial instruments
Forward exchange forward contracts – 5 – 5
----- End of picture text -----
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. These instruments are included in level 1. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-thecounter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts held by the Group is determined using forward exchange rates at the period-end date, with the resulting value discounted back to present value.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.
There were no transfers between levels during the period.

10 INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The applicable rate of Hong Kong profits tax is 16.5% (six months ended 30 September 2020: 16.5%). No provision for Hong Kong profits tax has been made in the interim condensed consolidated financial information as the Group did not have any assessable profit arising in Hong Kong during the six months ended 30 September 2021 (six months ended 30 September 2020: same).
No overseas profits tax has been calculated as the Group companies are incorporated in the BVI or the Cayman Islands and are exempted from tax.
11 BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
