QUARTERLY RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, 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.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and the Stock Exchange take no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement.

This announcement, for which the directors (the “ Directors ”) of Linekong Interactive Group Co., Ltd. (“ the Company ” or “ We ”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ GEM Listing Rules ”) for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this announcement misleading.

8. LOSS PER SHARE

(a) Basic

Loss attributable to owners of the Company Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue (thousand shares) Basic loss per share (expressed in RMB per share)	Three months ended March 31, 2017 2016 RMB’000 RMB’000 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (13,924) (7,272) 348,576 346,560 (0.04) (0.02)

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had two categories of potential ordinary shares, RSUs and share options granted to eligible person. As the Group incurred loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the potential ordinary shares were not included in the calculation of dilutive loss per share where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, dilutive losses per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are the same as basic loss per share of the period.

9. DIVIDENDS

No dividends have been paid or declared by the Company during each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

The decrease in the Group’s gross profit was primarily due to (1) increase in revenue generated from licensed game, especially Daybreak (黎明之光) (which was commercialised from September 18, 2016), as a result of the increase in content fee paid to third party developers; (2) the additional production cost incurred by movie business for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, we also adopted adjusted net (loss)/profit as an additional financial measure to evaluate our financial performance by eliminating the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of the performance of our business. Our adjusted net (loss)/profit was derived from our loss for the period net of share-based compensation expenses. The adjusted net (loss)/profit is an unaudited figure.

The following table reconciles our adjusted net (loss)/profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 respectively, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards:

	For the three months ended	For the three months ended
	March 31,		Change
	2017	2016	(approximate
	RMB’000	RMB’000	%)
Loss for the period	(12,604)	(7,272)	73.3
Add:
Share-based compensation expenses	6,951	10,631	(34.6)
Adjusted net (loss)/profit (unaudited)	(5,653)	3,359	(268.3)

The Group’s adjusted net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was approximately RMB5.7 million, as compared to adjusted net profit of approximately RMB3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in our adjusted net profit was mainly due to the decrease in gross profit. We have presented adjusted net (loss)/profit in this announcement as we believe that the adjusted net (loss)/profit is a meaningful supplement to the income statement data because it enables us to measure our profitability without taking into consideration of share-based compensation expenses. However, adjusted net (loss)/profit should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net loss or operating income, or as an alternative to cash flow as a measurement of liquidity. Potential investors should be aware that the adjusted net (loss)/profit presented in this announcement may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEME

The Company approved and adopted the RSU Scheme on March 21, 2014 and as amended on August 22, 2014. The RSU Scheme is not subject to the provisions of Chapter 23 of the GEM Listing Rules as the RSU Scheme does not involve the grant of options by the Company to subscribe for new Shares.

On March 31, 2017, RSUs in respect of 35,471,879 underlying shares has been granted to 461 grantees (four of which are our Directors). Total RSUs in respect of 38,075 underlying shares granted to 3 grantees had been lapsed during the three months ended March 31, 2017. On March 31, 2017, 27,023,165 RSUs have been vested unconditionally and there were 4,951,292 RSUs granted and outstanding.

EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Share Purchase by RSU Trustee

On January 3, 2017, January 4, 2017, January 5, 2017, January 6, 2017, January 17, 2017, January 19, 2017, March 27, 2017 and April 6, 2017, the Company had directed the Core Trust Company Limited, being the RSU Trustee assisting with the administration and vesting of RSUs granted pursuant to the RSU Scheme adopted by the Company, to purchase and hold on-market 115,000 Shares, 50,000 Shares, 70,500 Shares, 54,000 Shares, 129,000 Shares, 10,000 shares, 1,000 Shares and 72,000 Shares, respectively, of the ordinary shares of the Company (collectively, the “ Share Purchases ”), which will be used to satisfy the RSUs upon exercise.

The Board believes that the current financial resources of the Company would enable it to proceed with the Share Purchases while maintaining a solid financial position for the continuation of the Company’s business. In the opinion of the Board, it’s an opportune time to replenish the underlying shares in respect of the RSUs for the purpose of showing confidence of the Board to the Company’s future prospect as the value of the shares of the Company is consistently undervalued.

Details of the Share Purchases by RSU Trustee are set out in the announcements of the Company dated January 3, 2017, January 4, 2017, January 5, 2017, January 6, 2017, January 17, 2017, January 19, 2017, March 27, 2017 and April 6, 2017, respectively.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee was established on April 24, 2014. The chairman of the Audit Committee is Mr. Ma Ji, independent non-executive Director, and other members included Mr. Qian Zhonghua (resigned with effect from February 3, 2017), Mr. Pan Donghui (appointed with effect from February 3, 2017), non-executive Directors, and Mr. Wang Xiaodong, Mr. Zhang Xiangdong and Ms. Zhao Yifang, independent non-executive Directors. The written terms of reference of the Audit Committee are posted on the GEM website and on the Company’s website.

The primary duties of the Audit Committee are mainly to review the financial information and reporting process, internal control procedures and the Company’s risk management and internal control systems, the effectiveness of the internal audit function, audit plan and relationship with external auditors and arrangements to enable employees of the Company to raise, in confidence, concerns about possible improprieties in financial reporting, internal control or other matters of the Company.

The Company has complied with Rule 5.28 of the GEM Listing Rules in that at least one of the members of the Audit Committee (which must comprise a minimum of three members and must be chaired by an independent non- executive Director) is an independent non-executive Director who possesses appropriate professional qualifications or accounting related financial management expertise.

The Group’s unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017 have been reviewed by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is of the opinion that the unaudited financial statements of the Group for the three months ended March 31, 2017 comply with applicable accounting standards, GEM Listing Rules and that adequate disclosures have been made.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company has applied the principles and code provisions in the Corporate Governance Code and Corporate Governance Report (the “ Code ”) as set out in Appendix 15 to the GEM Listing Rules.

In the opinion of the Board, the Company has complied with the Code for the three months ended March 31, 2017, except for the deviation of Code provision A.2.1 and A.5.1 of the Code.

Under the code provision A.2.1 of the Code, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer should be separated and should not be performed by the same individual. From the date of listing to the date of this announcement, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer of the Company were performed by the executive Director, Mr. Wang Feng. The Board considers that vesting the roles of chairman and chief executive officer in the same person is beneficial to the management of the Group. The balance of power and authority is ensured by the operation of the senior management and the Board, which comprises experienced and highcalibre individuals. The Board currently comprises five executive Directors (including Mr. Wang Feng), one non-executive Director and four independent non-executive Directors and therefore has a fairly strong independence element in its composition.

– 35 –

Code Provision A.5.1 of Code provides that issuers should establish a nomination committee which is chaired by the chairman of the Board or an independent non-executive Director and comprises a majority of independent non-executive Directors. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Nomination Committee of the Company comprised Mr. Wang Feng (Chairman of Nomination Committee), Ms. Liao Mingxiang, Mr. Mei Song as executive Directors; Mr. Qian Zhonghua (re-designated as executive Directors and ceased to be a member of the Nomination Committee with effect from February 3, 2017) and Mr. Pan Donghui (appointed as non-executive Director and a member of the Nomination Committee with effect from February 3, 2017) as non-executive Directors; and Mr. Ma Ji, Mr. Wang Xiaodong, Mr. Zhang Xiangdong and Ms. Zhao Yifang as independent non-executive Directors. Although the independent non-executive Directors only account for half of the members, the Company considers that this composition can operate more effectively and the overall independence will not be affected.

DIRECTORS’ SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The Company has adopted the required standard of dealings regarding directors’ securities transactions as set out in Rules 5.48 to 5.67 of the GEM Listing Rules. Among other things, the Company periodically issues notices to its Directors reminding them of the general prohibition on dealing in the Company’s listed securities during the blackout periods before the publication of announcements of financial results of the Group. After specific enquiries were made with all Directors, all Directors confirmed that they have complied with the required standards of dealings for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
