CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

(i) Revenue

The Group has been operating in a single operation segment. The Group’s revenue was derived from the development, operation, publishing and distribution of online and mobile games for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the nine months ended 30 September 2021 (together the “ Review Period ”). Revenue can be largely divided into game operation income earned from game players, and game publishing income, royalty income and licence fee income earned from other game developers and operators.

The revenue of the Group recorded a decrease of approximately HK$25.3 million or 24.0% to approximately HK$80.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 from that of approximately HK$105.4 million for the year ended

– 30 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

31 December 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the Group’s game operation income of approximately HK$25.3 million, mainly arising from the significant decline in revenue derived from its licensed mobile games namely Demi Gods and Semi Devils (Mobile Version) which became less popular since the second half of 2018.

The revenue of the Group further recorded a decrease of approximately HK$28.9 million or 36.0% to approximately HK$51.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 from that of approximately HK$80.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. The decline was mainly due to the decrease in the Group’s game operation income of most of the older games which generated considerably less revenue in 2020 than in 2019, as well as the delay in launching new games and game updates for existing games, which was partly caused by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the nine months ended 30 September 2021, the Group’s revenue amounted to approximately HK$61.1 million, representing an increase of approximately 66.8% as compared to that for the corresponding period in 2020 of approximately HK$36.6 million. The increase in the Group’s revenue was mainly due to the increase in the Group’s game operation income and royalty income, because the Group managed to launch two new licensed mobile games in the second quarter and third quarter of 2021, respectively, namely, Teddy Boy M which started generating significant revenue since its launch in June 2021 and ACE SOCCER which generated significant revenue since its launch in September 2021.

(ii) Cost of services rendered, gross profit and gross profit margin

The cost of services rendered of the Group primarily consisted of those costs more directly related to the Group’s revenue generation, mainly including royalty expenses, channel fees, amortization of intangible assets, server rental and web services expenses, and salaries and employee benefits expenses for personnel responsible for game operations, customer services and research and development and other technical maintenance.

The Group’s cost of services rendered decreased by approximately HK$26.8 million from approximately HK$83.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 to approximately HK$57.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. The cost of services rendered further decreased by approximately HK$16.5 million to approximately HK$40.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. The decline during the three years ended 31 December 2020 was primarily due to the reduction in the Group’s revenue during such three years.

The cost of services rendered of the Group rose by approximately HK$6.3 million from approximately HK$30.1 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 to approximately HK$36.4 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the direct costs

– 31 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

incurred for the Group’s two new licensed mobile games which were launched during the second and third quarter of 2021 for the Group to generate significantly more revenue for the period.

The gross profit of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019 was approximately HK$23.1 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$1.5 million or approximately 7.0% as compared with that for the year ended 31 December 2018. The increase in gross profit of the Group despite the decrease in the Group’s revenue was because the reduction in revenue in 2019 was mainly relating to mobile games licensed from other game developers for which the Group had a lower profit margin. In this connection, the Group’s gross profit margin was approximately 20.5% and 28.8% for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019, respectively, representing an increase of approximately 8.3 percentage points. The increase in the Group’s gross profit margin was primarily due to the decrease in royalty expenses relating to the sharing of net monthly cash receipts with third-party game developers, operators and grantors for the operation of licensed games, and channel fee of the Group’s licensed mobile games incurred for the services for game distribution by third-party distribution platforms, both of which dropped considerably as a result of decrease in the Group’s revenue in 2019.

The gross profit of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 declined to approximately HK$10.7 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$12.3 million or approximately 53.5% from that of approximately HK$23.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. The lower gross profit was primarily due to the decrease in the Group’s game operation income from both the licensed mobile games and self/co-developed games. As a result of further decline in the Group’s revenue, the profitability of the Group’s games eroded because the Group’s cost of services rendered included certain relatively fixed costs which had to be incurred regardless of the volume of the Group’s gaming business. As such, the gross profit margin declined to approximately 20.9% for the year ended 31 December 2020 as compared with approximately 28.8% for the year ended 31 December 2019.

The gross profit of the Group for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 was approximately HK$24.7 million, representing a significant increase of approximately HK$18.2 million or approximately 277.4% from approximately HK$6.5 million for the corresponding period in 2020. The gross profit of the Group rose as a result of the increase in the Group’s game operation income from the two newly launched licensed mobile games, namely Teddy Boy M and ACE SOCCER, and royalty income from licensing the mobile game “Teddy Boy M” in Taiwan to other game operators, which amounted to approximately HK$9.2 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 as compared to only approximately HK$80,000 for the corresponding period in 2020. The Group managed to earn such royalty income by licencing to third-party game operators in Taiwan without incurring significant additional costs. Accordingly, the Group achieved considerable improvement in its gross profit margin, with the Group’s gross profit margin for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 being

– 32 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

approximately 40.5% which represented an increase of approximately 22.6 percentage points compared to that for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 of approximately 17.9%.

(iii) Other income

The Group’s other income fluctuated during the Review Period, because, in addition to bank interest income which occurred consistently, other major items included in the Group’s other income were non-recurring in nature. The Group recognised compensation fee income of approximately HK$0.5 million and HK$3.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 and 2019 respectively as a result of the early termination of games licensed by the Group to third-party game operators, while the Group received government subsidies of approximately HK$2.6 million relating to Hong Kong government’s Employment Support Scheme million in 2020.

(iv) Selling expenses

The Group’s selling expenses mainly consisted of marketing and promotion costs incurred for game promotion including online advertisement and in other media, and participation in various game exhibitions, as well as salaries and employee benefits expenses for the personnel responsible for marketing and promotion.

The Group’s selling expenses decreased by approximately HK$4.4 million from approximately HK$18.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 to approximately HK$14.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2019. The selling expenses further decreased by approximately HK$3.6 million to approximately HK$11.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. The decline during the three years ended 31 December 2020 was mainly due to the decrease in advertising and promotion expenses, which was consistent with the decreased marketing and promotion activities in line with the decline in the Group’s revenue during such three years.

The selling expenses of the Group rose by approximately HK$12.9 million from approximately HK$5.9 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 to approximately HK$18.8 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in promotion and advertising expenses incurred for the Group’s two new licensed mobile games which were launched during the second and third quarter of 2021 for the Group to generate significantly more revenue for the period.

(v) Administrative expenses

The Group’s administrative expenses mainly consisted of salaries and employee benefits expenses, rent and rates, utilities, travelling and entertainment expenses, legal and professional fees and other costs. The administrative expenses of the Group decreased from approximately HK$17.2 million for the year ended

– 33 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

31 December 2018 to approximately HK$12.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2019, and further decreased to approximately HK$11.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. Also, the administrative expenses decreased from approximately HK$8.4 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 to approximately HK$8.0 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2021. The downward trend of the Group’s administrative expenses during the Review Period was mainly due to the decrease in staff cost, travelling and entertainment expenses and legal and professional fees during the period, which was primarily caused by the cost control measures taken by the Management, which included manpower streamlining for the Group’s Taiwan operation as well as the closure of the Company’s subsidiary in Mainland China in 2020, and reduced business travels and related activities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

(vi) Other expenses

The other expenses of the Group comprised mainly impairment loss in relation to the write-down of licence fees paid for certain games operated by the Group to the recoverable amounts as a result of number of paying players of these games not achieving expected level. The other expenses of the Group decreased significantly from approximately HK$10.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 to approximately HK$1.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2019, then increased substantially to approximately HK$2.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. This was primarily because the Group recognised impairment losses on the intangible assets for its games with reference to the specific performance of each of such games during such period, and so the resulted impairment loss for each of the three years varied. As the Group normally only performs impairment review towards the year end of each financial year, the other expenses of the Group for the nine months ended 30 September 2020 and 30 September 2021 were both nil due to the absence of impairment loss recognised on the intangible assets during the two periods.

(vii) Loss for the year/period attributable to owners of the Company

Due to the combined effects of the changes in various revenue and cost items as discussed above, the Group recorded different extent of loss positions during the Review Period, with the loss attributable to the owners of the Company amounting to approximately HK$ 24.3 million, HK$1.9 million, HK$10.1 million and HK$1.8 million for each of the three years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020, and for the nine months ended 30 September 2021, respectively.

We noted that, as compared to the corresponding period in 2020, the Group achieved improvement in its revenue for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 to reverse the declining trend of the Group’s revenue in the preceding three years, which was mainly because the Group launched two new licensed mobile games in the second and third quarter of 2021. This helped the Group narrow down its net loss during the nine months ended 30 September 2021 as compared to the corresponding period in 2020. However, from a longer time perspective, it

– 34 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

should be noted that the Group consistently recorded loss attributable to owners of the Company for each of the three years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the nine months ended 30 September 2021.

(d) Historical dividend payout

No dividends have been paid or declared by the Company during the Review Period.

Note: NAV per Share is calculated based on the equity attributable to owners of the Company divided by the number of Shares in issue as at the respective balance sheet date.

(i) Property, plant and equipment

The Group has been principally engaged in the development, operation, publishing and distribution of online and mobile games. The business model of the Group does not require material investment in tangible fixed asset. The property, plant and equipment of the Group mainly consisted of computers,

– 36 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

leasehold improvements, motor vehicles and furniture, fixtures and office equipment. The property, plant and equipment of the Group continued to decrease throughout the Review Period as the Group’s acquisitions of property, plant and equipment continued to be smaller than the depreciation charges.

(ii) Intangible assets

The Group’s intangible assets represented licences with finite useful life comprising acquired intangible assets and internally generated intangible assets (research and development costs), and consisted of the licence fees paid to third-party game developers or operators for the Group’s licensed games to operate in Hong Kong and/or Taiwan, copyrights as well as the capitalised research and development costs for the Group’s self-developed games.

During the three years and six months ended 30 June 2021, the balance of intangible assets of the Group varied depending on the actual circumstances of the Group’s gaming operation and the need to recognise impairment of intangible assets from time to time.

The carrying amount of the Group’s intangible assets was approximately HK$8.1 million, HK$4.9 million and HK$2.9 million as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively. In addition to the amortization of intangible assets during the usual course of the Group’s business, impairment losses of approximately HK$4.8 million, HK$1.0 million, HK$2.1 million were recognised for the year ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively. The recognition of impairment losses on the intangible assets of the Group was the result of the write-down of licence fees paid for certain games of the Group during the three years which failed to achieve the expected performance level.

The carrying amount of the Group’s intangible assets was approximately HK$5.1 million as at 30 June 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to the Group’s acquisition of intangible assets of approximately HK$3.2 million relating to the new games launched in 2021, which was partially offset by the normal amortization charges and the absence of impairment loss on intangible assets during the six months ended 30 June 2021.

(iii) Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities

During the Review Period, the right-of-use assets of the Group and lease liabilities were mainly related to the leases for the Group’s office premises. The Group applied Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 16 (“ HKFRS 16 ”) for the first time in the financial year ended 31 December 2019. According to the Group’s accounting policies, the Group only capitalises the leases with terms of not less than 12 months at their respective commencement dates in its financial statements as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, while those leases of shorter term would be expensed off. Upon application of HKFRS 16, as at 31 December 2019, the non-current portion of lease payments amounting to approximately HK$1.3 million was reclassified to right-of-use assets, and lease liabilities were

– 37 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

recognised at the present value of the lease payments which were not paid at the date of commencement of the leases. As such, during the three years and six months ended 30 June 2021, the balances of the Group’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities varied as a result of the combined effects of the adoption of HKFRS 16 in 2019 and the actual circumstances of the relevant leases.

(iv) Trade receivables

The Group’s trade receivables, which amounted to approximately HK$5.1 million, HK$3.1 million, HK$3.6 million and HK$4.5 million as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and as at 30 June 2021 respectively, mainly consisted of the non-interest bearing receivables from third-party game distribution platforms and payment channels as at the respective reporting dates. The Group’s third-party game distribution platforms and payment channels collect the gross proceeds from game players’ purchases and remit to the Group the net proceeds after the deduction of the channel fees charged by them. The channel fees deducted by third-party game distribution platforms and payment channels are based on pre-determined percentages of the gross proceeds from game players’ purchases. The net proceeds to be remitted from third-party game distribution platforms and payment channels would be recognised by the Group as trade receivables. The Group normally allows credit period within 60 days to its trade debtors. The majority of the trade receivables were receivable within 30 days throughout the Review Period.

(v) Prepayments, deposits and other receivables

The principal component of the Group’s prepayments, deposits and other receivables was the prepayments, which primarily represented the prepayments for royalty expenses. The Group made prepayment for royalty expenses as some third-party game developers or operators required the Group to pay in advance a certain portion of royalty expenses which were to offset the royalty to be payable during the course of operation of the relevant licensed games. Accordingly, the Group’s prepayments may vary depending on the game pipeline of the Group and commercial negotiation for the licencing of specific games with the relevant business partners.

(vi) Trade payables

The Group’s trade payables mainly represented the non-interest bearing payables to third-party game developers or operators as at the respective reporting dates. The Group’s trade payables was approximately HK$3.7 million, HK$2.0 million, HK$1.8 million and HK$3.2 million as at 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and 30 June 2021 respectively.

The Group’s major creditors during the Review Period were mainly the third-party game developers/operators which entered into licence agreements with the Group, based on which the Group is licensed to operate, publish and promote the licensed games in Hong Kong and/or Taiwan. In return, the Group would pay

– 38 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

third-party game developers or operators the licence fee and monthly royalty expenses for the operation of the relevant licensed games. The royalty expenses to be remitted to third-party game developers or operators are therefore the principal components of the Group’s trade payables during the Review Period. The Group’s trade payables were also made up of the net proceeds collected from game players from the Group’s games for publishing which would be remitted to the relevant third-party game developers or operators, with the deduction of the Group’s services fees as game publishing income of the Group.

(vii) Accrued expenses and other payables

The Group’s accrued expenses and other payables mainly consisted of the expenses incurred but not yet invoiced and paid by the Group, which primarily included salaries and employee benefits expenses and other operating costs, as well as payables for withholding profits tax arising from the remittance of royalty expenses paid by the Group to overseas third-party game developers and operators in relation to the Group’s gaming business. The Group’s accrued expenses and other payables decreased over the three years and six months ended 30 June 2021, with the Group’s accrued expenses and other payables amounting to approximately HK$5.7 million, HK$5.3 million, HK$4.7 million and HK$2.6 million as at 31 December 2018, 2019, 2020 and 30 June 2021 respectively. The decrease was partly due to the Group’s cost control measures.

(viii) Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities of the Group mainly comprise receipt in advance and deferred income. Receipt in advance represents the advance received from licensee when the Group licences games to other game operators. Deferred income represents the unamortised portion of income received in respect of in-game virtual items paid by paying game players. The Group’s contract liabilities amounted to approximately HK$11.7 million, HK$8.5 million, HK$10.8 million and HK$9.7 million as at 31 December 2018, 2019, 2020 and 30 June 2021 respectively.

(ix) Net assets

As the Group had not managed to turn profitable and hence consistently recorded net loss, the NAV attributable to owners of the Company decreased during the three years and six months ended 30 June 2021. The NAV attributable to owners of the Company decreased from approximately HK$47.3 million as at 31 December 2018 to approximately HK$45.1 million as at 31 December 2019 and decreased further to approximately HK$34.1 million as at 31 December 2020. It continued to decrease to approximately HK$28.0 million as at 30 June 2021.

3. Prospects of the Group

Based on our discussion with the Management, our review of the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the “ Annual Report 2020 ”), the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2021 (the “ Interim Report 2021 ”) and the third quarterly report of the Company for the nine months ended 30 September 2021, as well as information relating to the game industry from public sources, we understand the Group has been facing various challenges as a player in the gaming industry in recent years and going forward, further details of which are discussed below.

We note that, according to the Global Games Market Report 2021 published in July 2021 by Newzoo which is a market research company specialised in the gaming industry (the “ Market Report ”; source: https://newzoo.com/insights/trend-reports/newzoo-globalgames-market-report-2021-free-version/), the total global game market generated revenues of approximately US$177.8 billion in 2020, recording a year-on-year increase of approximately 23.1% as compared to 2019, while it expects to generate revenues of approximately US$175.8. billion in 2021, with approximately 1.1% year-on year decline as compared to 2020. According to the Market Report, while the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in spiked engagement and spending in the games market in 2020, the pandemic’s negative second-order effects became more apparent in 2021, as the COVID-19 pandemic has led to more remote working and disrupted supply lines, which has continued to cause challenges to the gaming industry and brought a profound impact on game development and publishing in terms of delays. The adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic affected revenues in the game industry in 2021, more on personal computer (“ PC ”) and console games while less on mobile games. For a longer time horizon, according to the Market Report, the games market outlook remains positive and is expected to grow from 2019 to 2024 with a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 8.7% to reach US$218.7 billion in 2024.

As recognised by the Management, competition in the game industry is intense. The Group is an integrated game developer, operator and publisher of mobile and online PC games and has to compete with other game developers, operators and publishers of online PC games and mobile games in Hong Kong and Taiwan. In this respect, the Group faces competition from emerging mobile game developers, operators and publishers, as well as certain traditional online PC game companies which are entering into the mobile game market. As compared to the Group, some of the Group’s existing and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technological and marketing resources, larger player base, stronger relationship with industry participants, larger and more diverse game portfolios, and stronger mobile game development experience and resources. The Group also has to compete with other entertainment or leisure time activities which may divert its target customers’ time and attention. To cope with the said wide spectrum of existing and potential competitors, the Management considers that the Group relies primarily on its abilities to self/co-develop and/or license games which are attractive to game players and fulfil the demands and expectation of game players. This would in turn depend on, among other things, its promotion and advertising efforts, the stability of its game operation systems and its ability to secure development rights or licensed games based on popular literatures, comics and animations.

– 40 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The already competitive business environment of the Group is further complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic, as the Management recognises that the outbreak of COVID-19 since the beginning of 2020 is a fluid and challenging situation faced by all industries of Hong Kong and even worldwide, which is consistent with what the Market Report indicates. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group suffered delay in negotiating with other game developers, particularly for those in Mainland China, for licencing arrangement. Also, game updates for the Group’s licensed games as provided by other game developers also slowed down due to the disruption to the operation of those third-party game developers. To a lesser extent, the Group’s own research and development for games had also experienced certain delay as a result of the occurrence of COVID-19 infection incidents in Hong Kong. Accordingly, the Group’s ability to deal with the intense competition could be hindered by the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group’s operations. Since the threat of COVID-19 is still widespread around the world and resurgence of COVID-19 has continued to occur in various countries and regions, including Hong Kong and Taiwan in 2021, we consider that in near term of future, the threat of COVID-19 would still pose uncertainty over the prospects of the Group.

As discussed in the section headed “Principal Factors and Reasons Considered – Background and information of the Company – Financial performance of the Group” in this letter, we noted that, as compared to the corresponding period in 2020, the Group achieved improvement in its revenue and reduction in net loss for the nine months ended 30 September 2021, mainly because the Group launched two new licensed mobile games in the second quarter and third quarter of 2021. However, from a longer time perspective, it is noted that the Group consistently recorded net loss for each of the three years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the nine months ended 30 September 2021, during which the Group had from time to time launched and operated various games. Accordingly, we consider that it remains unsure that the recent launches of the two new games during 2021 could enhance the Group’s financial performance persistently in longer term and help turn the Group’s business into profit.

All in all, despite the positive gaming industry outlook in long run and recent improvement in the Group’s financial performance in the third quarter of 2021, in view of the intense competition in the gaming industry and the threat of COVID-19 pandemic, and having considered the Group’s persistent track record of net loss during the three years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and nine months ended 30 September 2021, we consider it is not certain whether the Group can improve its financial performance and achieve turnaround results in the long run, and the prospects of the Group’s business remain challenging and uncertain.

During the period from 25 November 2020 to the Last Trading Day (the “ Pre-Announcement Period ”), the Shares closed between HK$0.242 and HK$0.70. The closing Share prices were lower than the Offer Price of HK$0.6 in 245 days out of the 247 trading days during the Pre-Announcement Period. The Share price closed at HK$0.65 and HK$0.70 on 22 November 2021 and 23 November 2021, respectively, higher than the Offer Price for only 2 trading days.

The Share price of the Company was relatively stable and stood under HK$0.40 at the start of the Share Price Review Period. The closing Share price saw short-lived spikes after the publication of profit warning relating to the Group’s financial results for the year ended 31 December 2020 and voluntary announcement in regards to the entering into a cooperation agreement with Linekong Interactive Group Co., Ltd. for the rights of operation of mobile game “Dawn Awakening” on 19 January 2021 and 22 February 2021, respectively. The closing Share price then decreased steadily until the Company’s announcement of the change of executive directors, chief executive officer and authorised representative of the Company on 30 June 2021 (the “ June Announcement ”), after which the closing Share price gradually increased from HK$0.35 on 30 June 2021 to HK$0.58 on 20 July 2021. The closing Share price fell to as low as HK$0.395 thereafter. As advised by the Directors, other than the changes as announced in the June Announcement, the Company is not aware of any particular reason which could lead to the fluctuation of the closing Share price during the period form late June to July 2021. An upward trend is observed after the publication of the

– 42 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

interim results announcement on 10 August 2021. The trend persisted until early September 2021 when the closing Share price climbed to as high as HK$0.57. Since then, the Share price had started fluctuating in the range of HK$0.415 and HK$0.465 for a sustained period until the publication of the third quarterly results announcement for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 on 9 November 2021 which reported a substantial reduction in loss for the period concerned. The closing Share price picked up following the release of the announcement and spiked to its one-year high at HK$0.70 on 23 November 2021, one day before the Last Trading Day.

Trading of the Shares was suspended on 25 November 2021 pending the release of the Joint Announcement. The Shares closed at HK$0.68 on 26 November 2021 (being the first trading day after the release of the Joint Announcement), representing an increase of approximately 15.25% from the last closing price before the trading halt and a premium of approximately 13.33% over the Offer Price. After the release of the Joint Announcement and up to the Latest Practicable Date, the closing price of the Shares was staying at a relatively higher level in the range of HK$0.59 and HK$0.68. We consider the performance of the closing Share price subsequent to the release of the Joint Announcement, staying mostly around the Offer Price, was mainly due to the investors’ reaction to the publication of the Joint Announcement which disclosed the details of the Offer. In this connection, Independent Shareholders should be aware that there can be no assurance for the Shares to be traded at the recent level of Share prices or maintain at a price higher than the Offer Price in the future.

Notes:

  1. Up to and including the Last Trading Day.

  2. The total numbers of issued Shares as at 31 December 2020, 30 June 2021 and the Latest Practicable Date were 160,000,000 Shares.

The Offer Price of HK$0.6 per Offer Share represents a premium of approximately 1.69% to 48.47% over the closing Share price on the Last Trading Day and the average closing price of the Shares for the 10-, 30-, 60-, 90-, 120- and 180-trading day periods (up to and including the Last Trading Day) before the release of the Joint Announcement. The Offer Price of HK$0.6 per Offer Share, on the other hand, represents a discount of approximately 1.96% to the average closing price of the Shares for the 5-trading day period (up to and including the Last Trading Day) before the release of the Joint Announcement.

The closing Share price as at the Latest Practicable Date was HK$0.59 per Share and the corresponding premium represented by the Offer Price reduced to a relatively small amount of approximately 1.69%. We consider that the Share price as at the Latest Practicable Date and the corresponding reduction in premium were affected by the

– 44 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

publication of the Joint Announcement in relation to the Offer. However, we consider that the movement of the Share price during the period after the publication of the Joint Announcement already reflected the impact of the Offer, and such movement is less relevant and less meaningful for the purpose of assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Offer Price.

The Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 181.93% to the NAV attributable to owners of the Company per Share as at 31 December 2020 and approximately 242.76% to the NAV attributable to owners of the Company per Share as at 30 June 2021.

It is noted that the Offer Price had been above the closing Share prices throughout the Pre-Announcement Period except for two trading days, consistently marking substantial premium of more than 26% over the average closing prices for those longer trading day periods (i.e. 30 trading days and more) before the release of the Joint Announcement. In addition, the Offer Price represents very significant premiums over the NAV attributable to owners of the Company per Share as at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2021 respectively. These observations mean that the Offer Price gives a more favourable valuation of the Company to the Independent Shareholders. Accordingly, in this respect, we consider that the Offer Price is fair and reasonable.

The calculation is based on the total trading volume of the Shares for the month or period divided by 64,208,428 Shares, being the total number of issued Shares of 160,000,000 as at end of the corresponding month or the Latest Practicable Date after subtracting the total number of 95,791,572 Shares held by the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it and the Vendors. This is to provide additional information on the trading liquidity of the Shares from the perspective of the Independent Shareholders (excluding the Vendors).

  3. Trading in the Shares was suspended on 25 November 2021 pending the release of the Joint Announcement.

As noted from the above table, the monthly trading volume of the Shares as a percentage of the total issued Shares had been thin between November 2020 and June 2021, which ranged from approximately 0.01% to 2.03%. During the same period, the corresponding monthly trading volume of the Shares as a percentage of the total issued Shares held by the Independent Shareholders ranged from approximately 0.02% to 5.06%.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

A surge in monthly trading volume is observed since July 2021. The monthly trading volume of the Shares as a percentage of the total issued Shares between July 2021 and October 2021 ranged from approximately 9.04% to 11.39%. During the same period, the corresponding monthly trading volume of the Shares as a percentage of the total issued Shares held by the Independent Shareholders ranged from approximately 22.53% to 28.38%.

Subsequent to the release of the Joint Announcement, it is noted that there were surges in trading volume of the Shares recorded in late-November and early December 2021. In particular, it is noted that, on 26 November 2021 being the first trading day after the Joint Announcement was published, approximately 88,200,000 Shares were traded, which considerably contributed to the significant increase in the trading volume of the Shares in November 2021. We consider such surges were mainly caused by the potential effects of the Offer, and hence it is uncertain whether the trading volume of the Shares will maintain at such level in the future.

We consider that, from the Independent Shareholders’ perspective, the trading liquidity of the Shares had been thin for the majority of time during the Pre-Announcement Period. In addition, taking account of the historical trading volume of the Shares from a longer time period perspective and the possibility that the impacts of the Offer would be gradually digested by the Shareholders and the general investing public, we consider it is uncertain whether the trading volume of the Shares would continue to maintain as relatively active as seen during the surges in trading volume of the Shares since July 2021 and particularly after the release of the Joint Announcement.

(b) Intention of the Offeror in relation to the Group

As set out in the “Letter from Innovax Securities”, the Offeror intends to continue the existing businesses of the Group. The Offeror has no plan to inject any assets or businesses into the Group or to procure the Group to acquire or dispose of any assets immediately after the close of the Offer. Following the close of the Offer, the Offeror will conduct a detailed review of the business operations and financial position of the Group for the purpose of formulating business plans and strategies for the future business development of the Group and explore other investment or business opportunities to diversify the business of the Group with an objective to broaden its income source. As at the Latest Practicable date, the Offeror (i) had not identified any investment or business opportunity; and (ii) had no intention to terminate the employment of any employees of the Group or make significant changes to any employment (except for the proposed changes of the Board composition as detailed below). In this connection, as stated in the “Letter from the Board”, the Board is aware of the intention of the Offeror in respect of the Group and is willing to render reasonable co-operation with the Offeror which is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Further information in relation to the intention of the Offeror is set out below.

(i) Proposed changes to the board composition of the Company

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board consists of six Directors, comprising two executive Directors, namely Mr. Sze Yan Ngai and Mr. Cheung Chung Wai; one non-executive Director, namely Ms. Wong Pui Yain; and three independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Yung Kai Tai, Dr. Fung Ying Him Anthony and Mr. Iu Tak Meng Teddy.

As stated in the “Letter from Innovax Securities”, it is expected that all executive Directors (except Mr. Sze Yan Ngai) and non-executive Director will resign from the Board with effect from the earliest time permitted under the Takeovers Code. It is expected that Mr. Sze Yan Ngai will remain as an executive Director after the close of the Offer.

As stated in the “Letter from Innovax Securities”, the Offeror had nominated Mr. Liu and Mr. Huang as the new executive Directors. The Board had approved such nominations and the aforesaid appointments of Mr. Liu and Mr. Huang shall take effect after the despatch of the Composite Document. Further announcement

– 48 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

in relation to the change of the Directors will be made by the Company as and when appropriate in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code.

(ii) Public float and maintaining the listing status of the Company

As stated in the “Letter from the Board”, the Stock Exchange has stated that if, at the close of the Offer, less than the minimum prescribed percentage applicable to the listed issuer, being 25% of the issued Shares, are held by the public, or if the Stock Exchange believes that:

  • (i) a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the Shares; or

  • (ii) there are insufficient Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market,

the Stock Exchange will consider exercising its discretion to suspend dealing in the Shares. Therefore, it should be noted that upon closing of the Offer, there may be insufficient public float of the Shares and the trading in the Shares may be suspended until sufficient public float exists for the Shares. As stated in the “Letter from Innovax Securities”, the Offeror intends the Company to remain listed on the Stock Exchange. In this connection, the sole director of the Offeror and the new Directors to be appointed to the Board have jointly and severally undertaken to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float exists in the Shares after the close of the Offer. In this connection, in the event that the public float of the Company falls below 25% upon the close of the Offer, the Offeror will, as soon as practicable, dispose of such number of Shares either directly in the market or through a placing agent to be appointed by the Offeror to ensure that the public float requirement under the GEM Listing Rules can be met.

(iii) Our view

With reference to the above information relating to the Offeror, we note that the Offeror intends that the Group will continue its existing business, and the Offeror has no plan to inject any assets or businesses into the Group or to procure the Group to acquire or dispose of any assets immediately after the close of the Offer. It is also noted that the Offeror has no intention to terminate the employment of any employees of the Group or to make significant changes to any employment, except for the proposed changes of the Board composition as detailed above. In particular, Mr. Sze Yan Ngai is expected to remain as an executive Director after the close of the Offer, who has over 10 years of experience in game operation and development industry and had been the chief executive officer of the predecessor of the Group for more than 10 years previously. As such, we consider that the existing gaming business of the Group will be able to continue without material impact shortly after the close of the Offer.

– 49 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

However, the other existing executive Director and the existing non-executive Director are expected to resign. In addition, the Offeror had nominated Mr. Liu and Mr. Huang, who do not have specific experience in the gaming industry, as new executive Directors for appointment to the Board. Such nominations had already been approved by the Board and the appointments of Mr. Liu and Mr. Huang as executive Directors will take effect after the despatch of the Composite Document. Furthermore, following the close of the Offer, the Offeror will conduct a detailed review of the business operations and financial position of the Group for the purpose of formulating business plans and strategies for the future business development of the Group and explore other investment or business opportunities to diversify the business of the Group with an objective to broaden its income source, although no such investment or business opportunity had been identified as at the Latest Practicable date. As such, due to the changes in the composition of the Board and the Offeror’s intention mentioned above, in longer term, we consider that, depending on the decision of the Board in the future, potentially there may be changes in the Group’s business operation and strategies, the impact of which is uncertain. Independent Shareholders who wish to retain part or all of their investments in the Shares should pay attention to the Group’s business development and financial performance as well as any changes in the Board in the future after the close of the Offer.

Furthermore, if at the close of the Offer less than 25% of the Shares are held by the public or if the Stock Exchange believes that a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the Shares or there are insufficient Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market, then the Stock Exchange may exercise its discretion to suspend dealings in the Shares. In this connection, the Independent Shareholders who wish to retain part or all of their investments in the Shares are reminded that, upon completion of the Offer, there may be insufficient public float for the Shares and therefore trading in the Shares may be suspended until a prescribed level of public float is attained.

6. Comparable Companies analysis

The Group is principally engaged in the development, operation and publishing of mobile games and online PC games in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and during the Review Period, all the Group’s revenue was derived from its gaming business. For comparable companies analysis purpose to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Offer Price, we have initially sought to identify comparable companies listed on the Stock Exchange (the “ Comparable Companies ”) exhaustively on ET Net and the Stock Exchange based on the criteria that (i) the shares of the company are listed on GEM of the Stock Exchange (as the Company does); and (ii) the majority (over 50%) of the revenue of the company was derived from gaming business during its latest complete financial year. However, only one comparable company listed on GEM of the Stock Exchange was identified, which may not be enough to allow a representative comparison.

Under this circumstance, we have extended our searches to identify comparable companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange with a relatively smaller market capitalisation to be more comparable to the scale of the Company, the closing market

– 50 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

capitalisation of which was HK$94.4 million as at the Last Trading Day. In this connection, we have further sought to identify companies listed on the Stock Exchange exhaustively on ET Net and the Stock Exchange based on the criteria that (i) the closing market capitalisation of the company listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange as at the Last Trading Day of not more than HK$500 million; and (ii) the majority (over 50%) of the revenue of the company was derived from gaming business during its latest complete financial year. Based on the extended search, we have identified four more comparable companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange. We consider the five Comparable Companies as identified above to be exhaustive based on the selection criteria set out above and, in general, would serve a fair and representative sample for the purpose of drawing a comparison to the Offer Price. Details of the Comparable Companies are set out below:

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

For comparable companies analysis purpose, we considered using the industry-specific valuation multiples including enterprise value-to-earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (“ EBITDA ”) (the “ EV/EBITDA Ratio ”) and PSR, as the EV/EBITDA Ratio and PSR are valuation multiples more commonly adopted in evaluating business takeover transactions and more specific to the gaming industry because they eliminate the deviations in the non-operative factors such as the financial leverage, depreciation policy, and taxation rate, which may differ significantly in gaming companies. However, the Group recorded negative EBITDA (i.e. loss) and net loss during its latest complete financial year, so EV/EBITDA Ratio and the more conventional valuation multiple price-to-earnings ratio cannot be used for comparison purpose. To provide more references for analysis, although PBR may not be an industry-specific valuation multiple for gaming companies, we also included it in our comparison as it remains a conventional and widely used valuation multiple for evaluation of business takeover transactions in the market. Accordingly, as set out in the table above, we have adopted PSR and PBR for the purpose of comparable companies analysis.

(a) Comparison of the PSRs

As set out in the table above, the PSRs of the Comparable Companies range from approximately 0.40 time to approximately 1.50 times, with an average of approximately 0.91 time and a median of approximately 0.83 time. The PSR of the Company as implied by the Offer Price is approximately 1.87 times, which is above the range of the PSRs of the Comparable Companies.

(b) Comparison of the PBRs

As set out in the table above, the PBRs of the Comparable Companies range from approximately 0.14 time to approximately 1.30 times, with an average of approximately 0.49 time and a median of approximately 0.27 time. The PBR of the Company as implied by the Offer Price is approximately 3.43 times, which considerably exceeds the range of the PBRs of the Comparable Companies.

(c) Our View

We noted that the implied PSR and, more considerably, the implied PBR of the Offer Price exceed the respective ranges of PSRs and PBRs of the Comparable Companies, which means that the Offer Price gives a more favourable valuation from the comparable companies analysis perspective. Accordingly, we consider the Offer Price fair and reasonable in this respect with reference to the Comparable Companies.

IV. DISCUSSION AND ANALYSES

In forming our opinion and recommendation below, we have taken account of the factors set out under the section headed “Principal Factors and Reasons Considered” in this letter. In particular, we would like to draw the attention of the Independent Shareholders to certain key points as summarised below:

– 53 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

1. Persistent loss-making track record and business prospects remaining challenging

As discussed in the section headed “Principal Factors and Reasons Considered – Background and information of the Company – Financial performance of the Group” in this letter, the Group consistently recorded net loss for each of the three years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020 and for the nine months ended 30 September 2021, during which the Group had from time to time launched and operated various games. Also, the Group did not pay any dividend to give investment returns to the Shareholders during the Review Period. In addition, as discussed in the section headed “Principal Factors and Reasons Considered – Background and information of the Company – Prospects of the Group” in this letter, the Group has been facing intense competition, which may further be adversely affected by the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. Having considered the Group’s persistent track record of net loss and the intense competition faced by the Group, we consider that, despite the positive outlook of the gaming industry, the Group’s own business execution capabilities has been challenged considerably and the Group has not managed to achieve satisfactory financial performance during the Review Period.

Accordingly, even though the Group launched two new licensed mobile games in the second quarter and third quarter of 2021 which helped increase its total revenue and narrow down its net loss for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 as compared to the corresponding period in 2020, we consider it remains unsure whether the Group can achieve turnaround results and improve its financial performance consistently in the long run, and the prospects of the Group’s business remain challenging and uncertain. If the Group fails to effectively operate its business and deal with the challenges on the Group’s prospects to turn itself profitable in the long run, coupled with the lack of any dividend payout by the Company as observed historically, we consider the price performance of the Shares may be adversely affected in longer term after the close of the Offer.

2. Offer Price more favourable than the historical Share prices during most of the Pre-Announcement Period and historical NAV per Share

For the Shareholders, the realisable value of their investment in the Company mainly depends on the Share price, and hence one of the most important factors to assess the reasonableness and fairness of the Offer Price is the premium or discount of the Offer Price over or to historical Share prices. As set out in our discussion in the section headed “Principal Factors and Reasons Considered – Analysis of Share price” in this letter, it is noted that the Offer Price had been above the closing Share prices throughout the Pre-Announcement Period except for two trading days, consistently marking substantial premium of more than 26% over the average closing prices for those longer trading day periods (i.e. 30 trading days and more) prior to the release of the Joint Announcement. In addition, the Offer Price represents very significant premiums over the NAV attributable to owners of the Company per Share as at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2021 respectively. Based on these observations, we consider that the Offer Price gives a more favourable valuation of the Company to the Independent Shareholders. In this respect, taking account of the premiums of the Offer Price over both the closing Share prices during most of the Pre-Announcement Period and the historical NAV attributable to owners of the Company, we consider that the Offer Price is fair and reasonable.

– 54 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

After the release of the Joint Announcement and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we note that the closing price of the Shares was staying at a relatively higher level in the range of HK$0.59 and HK$0.68. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Share price closed at HK$0.59. However, we consider that the movement of the Share price after the publication of the Joint Announcement already reflected the impacts of the Offer, and discussion about such Share price movement is less relevant and less meaningful for the purpose of assessing fairness and reasonableness of the Offer Price. In addition, Independent Shareholders should be aware that there can be no assurance for the Shares to trade at the recent level of Share prices or maintain at a price higher than the Offer Price in the future.

3. Opportunity to realise the Shares in view of trading liquidity of the Shares historically

As discussed in the section headed “Principal Factors and Reasons Considered – Analysis of Share price – Trading liquidity of the Shares” in this letter, we are of the view that for the majority period of time during the Pre-Announcement Period, the trading liquidity of the Shares was generally thin. Although it is noted that there were surges in trading volume of the Shares recorded since July 2021, and particularly in November 2021 following the release of the Joint Announcement which may be mainly caused by potential effects of the Offer, we consider it is uncertain for the trading volume of the Shares to maintain at such relatively active level in the long run after the close of the Offer. If the trading liquidity of the Shares shrinks again and returns to the inactive level prior to July 2021, the Independent Shareholders would suffer greater difficulty to dispose of their Shares.

In this respect, we consider the Offer provides an exit opportunity for the Independent Shareholders, particularly for those with sizeable shareholdings, who would like to realise their investments in the Shares at a fixed cash price without creating downward pressure on the market price of the Shares.

4. Offer price more favourable than the valuations of Comparable Companies

As analysed in the section headed “Principal Factors and Reasons Considered – Comparable Companies analysis” in this letter, the implied PSR and, more considerably, the implied PBR of the Offer Price exceed the respective ranges of PSRs and PBRs of the Comparable Companies, which means that the Offer Price gives a more favourable valuation from the comparable companies analysis perspective. Accordingly, we consider the Offer Price fair and reasonable in this respect with reference to the Comparable Companies.

V. OPINION AND RECOMMENDATION

After taking into account the principal factors and reasons considered as discussed in our letter, and based on our analyses set out above, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Offer and the Offer Price are fair and reasonable, and recommend the Independent Board Committee to recommend that the Independent Shareholders should accept the Offer.

– 55 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Nevertheless, after the release of the Joint Announcement and up to the Latest Practicable Date, as compared to the Offer Price of HK$0.6, the closing price of the Shares had been staying in the range of HK$0.59 and HK$0.68, and it is possible that during the Offer Period the Share price may exceed the Offer Price. Accordingly, the Independent Shareholders are reminded to monitor the trading price and liquidity of the Shares during the Offer Period and, having regard to their own circumstances, consider selling their Shares in the open market instead of accepting the Offer, if the net proceeds after deducting all relevant transaction costs as obtained from such disposal of the Shares would be higher than the net proceeds expected to be received under the Offer.
