ANNOUNCEMENT OF ANNUAL RESULTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 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.
This announcement, for which the directors (the "Directors") of MediNet Group Limited (the "Company") collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange (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.
This announcement will remain on the Stock Exchange's website at www.hkexnews.hk, and in the case of the announcement, on the "Latest Company Announcements" page for at least 7 days from the day of its posting.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017
- GENERAL
MediNet Group Limited (“the Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company and registered in the Cayman Islands with limited liability under the Companies Law, Cap. 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands on 20 August 2015. The shares of the Company have been listed on the Growth Enterprise Market (“GEM”) of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) since 31 May 2016. The addresses of the registered office and principal place of business of the Company are disclosed in the corporation information section of the annual report. The Company’s immediate and ultimate holding company is Medinet International Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) which is controlled by the Controlling Shareholder.
The Company acts as an investment holding company.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is also the functional currency of the Company.
- REORGANISATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Historically, all the entities comprising the Group were controlled by Mr. Chan and held by him directly or indirectly. In preparation for the listing of the Company’s shares on the Stock Exchange, the entities now comprising the Group underwent a group reorganisation (the “Reorganisation”) to enable the Company to become the holding company of the Group which involves the principle steps of the Reorganisation.
After the Reorganisation, the Company became the holding company of the companies now comprising the Group on 11 November 2015. The Company and its subsidiaries have been under the common control of Mr. Chan throughout the year ended 31 March 2016 or since their respective date of incorporation, where there is a shorter period. The Group resulting from the Reorganisation is regarded as a continuing entity. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis as if the Company had always been the holding company of the Group.
The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows which include the results, changes in equity and cash flows of the companies now comprising the Group for the year ended 31 March 2016 have been prepared as if the Company had always been the holding company of the Group and the current group structure had been in existence throughout the year ended 31 March 2016, or since the respective date of incorporation of the relevant entity where this is a shorter period.

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments
HKFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets, financial liabilities, general hedger accounting and impairment requirements for financial assets.
Key requirement of HKFRS 9 which is relevant to the Group:
- In relation to the impairment of financial assets, HKFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under HKAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.
Based on the Group's financial instruments and risk management policies as at 31 March 2017, the application of HKFRS 9 in the future may have an impact on the measurement of the Group's financial assets. The expected credit loss model may result in early provision of credit loss which are not yet incurred in relation to the Group's financial assets measured at amortised cost.
HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
HKFRS 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including HKAS 18 Revenue, HKAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related Interpretations when it becomes effective.
The core principle of HKFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
- Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
- Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
- Step 3: Determine the transaction price
- Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
- Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Under HKFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when 'control' of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in HKFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by HKFRS 15.
In 2016, the HKICPA issued Clarifications to HKFRS 15 in relation to the identification of performance obligations, principal versus agent considerations, as well as licensing application guidance.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of HKFRS 15 in the future may result in more disclosures, however, the directors of the Company do not anticipate that the application of HKFRS 15 will have a material impact on the timing and amounts of revenue recognised in the respective reporting periods.
HKFRS 16 Leases
HKFRS 16 introduces a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and accounting treatments for both lessors and lessees. HKFRS 16 will supersede HKAS 17 Leases and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.
HKFRS 16 distinguishes lease and service contracts on the basis of whether an identified asset is controlled by a customer. Distinctions of operating leases and finance leases are removed for lessee accounting, and is replaced by a model where a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability have to be recognised for all leases by lessees, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost (subject to certain exceptions) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted for interest and lease payments, as well as the impact of lease modifications, amongst others. For the classification of cash flows, the Group currently presents upfront prepaid lease payments as investing cash flows in relation to leasehold lands for owned use and those classified as investment properties while other operating lease payments are presented as operating cash flows. Under the HKFRS 16, lease payments in relation to lease liability will be allocated into a principal and an interest portion which will be both presented as financing cash flows.
Under HKAS 17, the Group has already recognised an asset and a related finance lease liability for finance lease arrangement and prepaid lease payments for leasehold lands where the Group is a lessee. The application of HKFRS 16 may result in potential changes in classification of these assets depending on whether the Group presents right-of-use assets separately or within the same line item at which the corresponding underlying assets would be presented if they were owned.
In contrast to lessee accounting, HKFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in HKAS 17, and continues to require a lessor to classify a lease either as an operating lease or a finance lease.
Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by HKFRS 16.
As at 31 March 2017, the Group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of HK$24,523,000. A preliminary assessment indicates that these arrangements will meet the definition of a lease under HKFRS 16, and hence the Group will recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability in respect of all these leases unless they qualify for low value or short-term leases upon the application of HKFRS 16. In addition, the application of new requirements may result changes in measurement, presentation and disclosure as indicated above. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the financial effect until the directors complete a detailed review.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of other new and amendments to HKFRSs will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Group was successfully listed on GEM on 31 May 2016, the listing (the "Listing") of the shares of the Company on GEM provided additional capital to the Group to implement its corporate plan of expanding Medical Centre and Dental Clinic, for example. As a result, we relocated our MediNet Centre at Central to the new premises and set up two more surgery rooms for our dental clinics in Central and Kwun Tong during FY2016/17. The Listing also strengthened the financial position and enhanced the competitiveness of the Group.
For FY2016/17, the Group achieved an increase in turnover of approximately HK$6.6 million or 7.2% to approximately HK$99.2 million compared with FY2015/16. Such growth was mainly attributable to (i) established long-term business relationships with our existing contract customers, as well as revenue generated from new contract customers; and (ii) the consistent demand for healthcare services in Hong Kong during the year.
We recorded a net loss of approximately HK$4.5 million for FY2016/17, including the non-recurring Listing expenses of approximately HK$4.2 million, representing an increase in net loss of approximately HK$2.2 million or 99.6% from net loss of approximately HK$2.3 million in FY2015/16. Such increase in net loss was primarily due to increase in staff cost, additional legal and professional fee and start-up cost in relation to the exploration of business opportunities in the PRC. During FY2016/17, there was an increase of staff head count mainly due to the set-up of our new sales and marketing team and customer services team so as to enhance our customer services and to provide the quality healthcare services, as well as to establish an additional channel for understanding our customers' need. In addition, the Group is currently setting up a new online e-commerce business in relation to the sale of healthcare-related products and services, which is expect to be launched during the third quarter of 2017.
Going forward, while the Group will continue to leverage on its competitive advantages and competencies to foster its core business of medical and dental solutions and services in Hong Kong, the Group is also tapping into the market of the provision of medical and dental services in the PRC. In light of the announced plan of the PRC government to systematically improve the PRC healthcare system, the PRC government has encouraged greater private sector participation to provide a more diverse scope of healthcare services to the growing middle-class population thereby reducing overcrowding in public facilities, so the Group has established a representative office in Shenzhen to explore these business opportunities.

Moreover, the Group has (i) rented a clinic in Jiangmen with gross floor area of over 16,000 sq.ft. for the new integrated medical centre and plans to provide general practice services, specialist practice services, dental services, aesthetics services and etc; and (ii) rented a dental clinic in Shenzhen with gross floor area of over 3,000 sq.ft..
With reference to the Company's announcement dated 21 June 2017, the Group has obtained the relevant approval 設置醫療機構批准書 (transliterated as the approval for establishment of medical institution) (the "Approval") from the Department of Health of Guangdong Province in mid-May 2017 for the establishment of the dental clinic in Shenzhen, which is expected to commence operations in late 2017. In late June 2017, the Group also obtained the Approval for the establishment of the clinic in Jiangmen, which is also expected to commence operations in around late 2017. The Group believes that the middle-class population has strong purchasing power and health consciousness would be our target customers, so we will provide high-end dental and medical services to this type of target customers and we will replicate the Group's business model in Jiangmen and Shenzhen.
With our experienced management team and reputation in the market, the Directors believe that our Group is well-positioned to remain competitive despite any future challenges that are commonly faced by all market players. As mentioned above, the Group will not only continue to pursue the strategies to further strengthen our position as an established service provider in the medical and dental industry in Hong Kong and also explore more opportunities in relation to the medical and dental services in the PRC market.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue
The Group's revenue increased from approximately HK$92.6 million for FY2015/16 to approximately HK$99.2 million for FY2016/17, representing a growth of approximately 7.2%. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in the medical solutions to Contract Customers, medical services to self-paid patients and dental services to self-paid patients. The following table sets forth a breakdown of our revenue during FY2015/16 and FY2016/17:
| FY2015/16 | FY2016/17 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HK$'000 | % | HK$'000 | % | |
| Medical solutions to Contract Customers | 53,395 | 57.7 | 57,321 | 57.8 |
| Medical services to self-paid patients | 15,230 | 16.5 | 17,586 | 17.7 |
| Dental solutions to Contract Customers | 7,839 | 8.5 | 6,936 | 7.0 |
| Dental services to self-paid patients | 16,112 | 17.3 | 17,363 | 17.5 |
| 92,576 | 100.0 | 99,206 | 100.0 |
Except for dental solutions to Contract Customers, all the revenue generated for FY2016/17 including the provision of medical services to Contract Customers, medical services and dental services to self-paid patients increased approximately 7.4%, 15.5% and 7.8% respectively when compared with FY2015/16. Dental solutions to Contract Customers
decreased by approximately 11.5% from approximately HK$7.8 million for FY2015/16 to approximately HK$6.9 million for FY2016/17 due to a decreased number of Contract Customers from 131 for FY2015/16 to 118 for FY2016/17 and individuals for dental solutions from 5,959 for FY2015/16 to 5,446 for FY2016/17.
Other income
Other income decreased by approximately 56.6% from approximately HK$2.3 million for FY2015/16 to approximately HK$981,000 for FY2016/17. This situation was attributable by a decrease in other services income from laboratory and other healthcare services provider, as well as imputed interest income and dividend income from listed equity securities in Hong Kong.
Other gains and losses
Other gains and losses turned from a loss of approximately HK$1.3 million for FY2015/16 to a gain of approximately HK$114,000 for FY2016/17, primarily due to (i) decrease in loss on fair value change of the Group's held-for-trading investment (being listed equity securities in Hong Kong; and (ii) a gain on disposal of a motor vehicle amounted to approximately HK$140,000.
Medical and dental professional services expenses
The Group's medical and dental professional services expenses increased by approximately 11.9% from approximately HK$44.8 million for FY2015/16 to approximately HK$50.1 million for FY2016/17, mainly as a result of the combined effect of the following:
(i) The aggregate amount of fees to affiliated doctors and affiliated auxiliary services providers and reimbursements to plan members of the Group's Contract Customers amounted to approximately HK$34.6 million for FY2015/16 and approximately HK$36.3 million for FY2016/17, representing an increase of approximately 4.9%. Such increase was mainly due to an increase in the amount of medical services received by plan members through our MediNet Network or reimbursed by us as a result of an increase usage by the active member of Contract Customers. The approximately 4.9% increase in the aggregate amount of fees to affiliated doctors and affiliated auxiliary services providers and reimbursements to plan members was also generally in line with the approximately 7.4% increase in the Group's revenue from the provision of medical solutions to Contract Customers during the relevant period.
(ii) Fees for engaging external dentists increased by approximately 59.1% from approximately HK$2.2 million for FY2015/16 to approximately HK$3.5 million for FY2016/17 as we experienced (i) an increase in demand from self-paid patients for certain secondary dental care services which were carried out by external dentists with relevant expertise and (ii) change in the employment arrangement between the Group and one of our dentists for FY2016/17 which resulted in the fees to the Group's dentist of approximately HK$1.1 million recognized in "Medical and dental professional services expense" instead of "Staff Cost".
- 17 -
(iii) Laboratory charges slightly increased by approximately 1.7% from approximately HK$6.4 million for FY2015/16 to approximately HK$6.5 million for FY2016/17, primarily due to an increase in demand from self-paid patients for certain body check up.
(iv) Fees to our doctors increased from approximately HK$1.6 million for FY2015/16 to approximately HK$3.9 million for FY2016/17 due to the change in employment arrangements between our Group and our Group’s doctors pursuant to the MediNet Doctor Agreement effective from 1 November 2015, as defined in the Prospectus. Therefore fees to our Group’s doctors were recognised in “Staff cost” and “Medical and dental professional services expenses” before and after such effective date respectively.
Staff cost
Staff cost increased by approximately 28.6% from approximately HK$19.5 million for FY2015/16 to approximately HK$25.1 million for FY2016/17. Due to the changes in employment arrangements between the Group and the Group’s doctors and dentist as discussed above. As a result, if the Group’s doctor fee of approximately HK$3.9 million and HK$1.1 million for FY2016/17 and HK$1.6 million for FY15/16 has been recognised under “Staff cost”, then the staff cost will increase by approximately HK$9 million. The increase was mainly attributable by (i) an increase in staff cost paid to Directors and Company secretary; (ii) a general increase in salaries for the staff; (iii) an increase in staff for establishing a representative office in Shenzhen for exploration of business opportunities, and for establishing services centres for the provision of medical and dental clinic in the PRC and (iv) an increase in the number of staff in Hong Kong mainly due to the set-up of a new sales and marketing and customer services team in connection with the Group’s expansion and enhancement of our customer services. In addition, the total number of staff increased from 68 as at 31 March 2016 to 95 as at 31 March 2017.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment decreased by approximately 34.6% from approximately HK$2.2 million for FY2015/16 to approximately HK$1.5 million for FY2016/17, primarily as a result of the decrease in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment due to the disposal of a leasehold property which was completed on 15 October 2015, details of which have been discussed in the prospectus of the Company dated 24 May 2016 (the “Prospectus”) under section “Business — Properties — Owned property during the Track Record Period”.
Cost of medical and dental supplies
Cost of medical and dental supplies increased by approximately 39.2% from approximately HK$2.9 million for FY2015/16 to approximately HK$4.0 million for FY2016/17 due to the increase in demand from Contract Customers and self-paid patients.

- 19 -
Rental expenses
Rental expenses increased by approximately 54.4% from approximately HK$4.4 million for FY2015/16 to approximately HK$6.8 million for FY2016/17, mainly due to (i) an increase in rental for those existing premises for which leases were renewed; (ii) new tenancy agreement entered for MediNet Centre in Central during the relevant period; and (iii) rental expenses from representative office and dental clinic in Shenzhen.
Other expenses
Other expenses increased by 41.4% from approximately HK$8.7 million for FY2015/16 to approximately HK$12.3 million for FY2016/17, primarily due to additional legal and professional fees incurred to ensure ongoing compliance with relevant rules and regulation after Listing and other general administrative expenses.
Finance costs
Finance costs decreased from approximately HK$0.5 million for FY2015/16 to nil for FY2016/17 as the result of the full repayment of the mortgage loan and finance lease obligation in November 2015 and June 2015 respectively.
Listing expenses
The Group recognised non-recurring Listing expenses of approximately HK$10.4 million and HK$4.2 million for FY2015/16 and FY2016/17 respectively as expenses in connection with the Listing.
Income tax expenses
Income tax expenses for the Group decreased from approximately HK$2.3 million for FY2015/16 to approximately HK$0.9 million for FY2016/17. The decrease was mainly due to decrease in tax assessable income.
Loss and total comprehensive expenses attributable to the owners of the Company
Due to the combined effect of the factors mentioned above including in particular the recognition of significant non-recurring Listing expenses of approximately HK$4.2 million for FY2016/17, we recorded a total comprehensive expense attributable to the owners of the Company for the year of approximately HK$4.3 million, which increased by approximately HK$3.7 million as compared with total comprehensive expense for the year of approximately HK$0.6 million in FY2015/16.
Such increase in total comprehensive expenses attributable to the owners of the Company was primary attributable to the combined effects of (i) the increase in revenue of approximately HK$6.6 million for the FY2016/17 but offset by (ii) the increase in staff costs and other operation expenses to support the Group’s business development in Hong Kong such as set-up of a new sales and marketing and customer services team in connection with the Group’s expansion and to enhance our customer services; (iii) additional cost incurred for the exploration of business opportunities in the PRC through our representative office in Shenzhen, applied for licences to establish an integrated medical centre in Jiangmen and dental clinic in Shenzhen and as well as to explore other business opportunities for tapping into the medical and dental service market in PRC; and (iv) additional legal and professional fees incurred to ensure ongoing compliance with relevant rules and regulation after Listing.
