CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE "STOCK EXCHANGE")

Under the two-tiered profits tax rates regime, the first HK$2 million of profits of the qualifying group entity will be taxed at 8.25%, and profits above HK$2 million will be taxed at 16.5%. The profits of group entities not qualifying for the two-tiered profits tax rates regime will continue to be taxed at a flat rate of 16.5%.

  • 15 -

Accordingly, the Hong Kong Profits Tax is calculated at 8.25% on the first HK$2 million of the estimated assessable profits and at 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits above HK$2 million.

Under the Law of the PRC on Enterprise Income Tax (the "EIT Law") and Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the tax rate of the PRC subsidiary is 25%. No provision for the PRC enterprise income tax has been made as the Group has no assessable profit in the PRC.

The Group's subsidiaries operating in Hong Kong are eligible for certain tax concessions. The maximum tax concessions eligible for each subsidiary is HK$6,000 (2022: HK$10,000).

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. The ECL on trade receivables are assessed by using a provision matrix based on the credit risk characteristic and the ageing of trade receivables. The Group considers the historical loss rates in the past three years and adjusts for forward looking factors in calculating the ECL rates.

As at 31 March 2023, included in the Group's accounts receivables balance are debtors with aggregate carrying amount of HK$247,000 (2022: HK$220,000) which are past due as at the reporting date. Out of the past due balances, HK$57,000 (2022: HK$10,000) has been past due over 90 days or more and is not considered as in default. The directors of the Company are in the view that there have been no significant increase in credit risk nor default because of good repayment records for those customers and continuous business with the Group.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

MediNet is one of the well-known corporate healthcare solution providers in Hong Kong for more than 26 years. We are principally engaged in the provision of medical and dental solutions to corporates and insurance companies. Based on the client's need, budget and scope of healthcare benefits desire, we provide customized, reliable, coordinated, comprehensive healthcare solutions for our contract customers. We also self-operated six dental clinics, two medical centres and one genetics laboratory centre in Hong Kong and one dental clinic in Shenzhen. Our goal is to help our clients to build a strong body and maintain their health while facing different goals and challenges in their everyday lives.

The Group's revenue was approximately HK$110.4 million for FY2022/23, as compared with approximately HK$121.1 million for FY2021/22, representing a decrease by approximately 8.8% or approximately HK$10.7 million. The loss for the year attributable to owners of the Company was approximately HK$24.9 million for FY2022/23 (FY2021/22: loss attributable to owners of the Company approximately HK$6.2 million). The increase in loss was mainly due to the impairment loss recognised on goodwill.

While the Group recorded a loss for FY2022/23, the attendance of patients has gradually improved in March 2023 due to the resumption of cross-border travel between Hong Kong and China, and the covid social distancing restrictions being lifted since February 2023. Our management team will continue to strengthen our efforts in business development, seize opportunities to broaden our sources of income and carefully manage expenditure in order to create sustainable value to shareholder, client, staff and society.


FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

The Group’s revenue decreased by approximately 8.8% from approximately HK$121.1 million for FY2021/22 to approximately HK$110.4 million for FY2022/23. The following table sets forth a breakdown of the Group’s revenue with comparative figures:

| | FY2021/22
HK$’000 | FY2022/23
HK$’000 | % |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Medical solutions to contract customers | 29,339 | 27,698 | -5.6% |
| Medical services to self-paid patients | 17,528 | 17,533 | 0.0% |
| Dental solutions to contract customers | 6,322 | 7,113 | 12.5% |
| Dental services to self-paid patients | 67,879 | 58,048 | -14.5% |
| | 121,068 | 110,392 | |

The revenue of medical solutions to contract customers decreased by approximately 5.6% from approximately HK$29.3 million for FY2021/22 to approximately HK$27.7 million for FY2022/23, which was primarily due to the decrease of patients visiting our affiliated doctors and auxiliary services providers and the decrease in the number of contract customers.

The revenue of medical services to self-paid patients slightly increased by approximately HK$5,000 for FY2022/23 as compared with FY2021/22.

The revenue of dental solutions to contract customers increased by approximately 12.5% from approximately HK$6.3 million for FY2021/22 to approximately HK$7.1 million for FY2022/23, which was mainly attributable to the increase in the number of contract customers and individuals for dental solutions services.

The revenue of dental services to self-paid patients decreased by approximately 14.5% from approximately HK$67.9 million for FY2021/22 to approximately HK$58.0 million for FY2022/23 which was primarily due to the decrease in the number of visits from patients seeking secondary dental services.

Other income

Other income significantly increased from approximately HK$1.2 million for FY2021/22 to approximately HK$3.5 million for FY2022/23 which was mainly due to the additional income of approximately HK$2.0 million from the employment support scheme of the Hong Kong Government to subsidise the salary payment of the Company.

Rental expenses

Rental expense increased by approximately HK$0.8 million from approximately HK$1.1 million for FY2021/22 to approximately HK$1.9 million for FY2022/23 which was primarily due to rental payment for short-term leases under the adoption of HKFRS 16 where lease payments on short-term lease are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Other expenses

Other expenses primarily comprises (i) general overhead and administrative expenses such as repair and maintenance expenses, printing costs and insurance expenses etc; (ii) professional and legal fees; (iii) utilities expenses; and (iv) bank charges mainly relating to credit card and instalment charges from bank. Other expenses slightly decreased by approximately 4.1% from approximately HK$14.8 million for FY2021/22 to HK$14.2 million for FY2022/23.

Code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code states that the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Mr. Chan Chi Wai, Nelson is the chairman of the Board and also our executive director who is responsible under the immediate authority of the Board of the conduct of the business of the Group and is therefore our chief executive for the purpose of the GEM Listing Rules.

The Board believes that the vesting of the roles of Chairman and chief executive in Mr. Chan is beneficial to the business operations and management of the Group and will provide a strong and consistent leadership to the Group. In addition, due to the presence of three independent non-executive Directors which represents more than half of the Board, the Board considers that there is a balance of power and authority such that no one individual has unfettered power of decision. Accordingly, the Company has not segregated the roles of its Chairman and chief executive as required by code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code.
