FIRST QUARTERLY RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 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 and its subsidiaries. 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 "Latest Company Announcements" page of the GEM website at www.hkgem.com for at least seven days from the date of its publication and on the Company's website at www.MediNetGroup.com.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

The Group’s revenue slightly decreased by approximately 4.2% from approximately HK$25.6 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 to approximately HK$24.5 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017. The following table sets forth a breakdown of the Group’s revenue:

| | Three months
ended 30 June 2017 | | Three months
ended 30 June 2016 | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | HK$’000 | % | HK$’000 | % |
| Medical solutions to contract customers | 13,686 | 55.9 | 14,294 | 55.9 |
| Medical services to self-paid patients | 3,905 | 15.9 | 4,674 | 18.3 |
| Dental solutions to contract customers | 1,539 | 6.3 | 2,350 | 9.2 |
| Dental services to self-paid patients | 5,357 | 21.9 | 4,251 | 16.6 |
| | 24,487 | 100 | 25,569 | 100 |

Except for dental services to self-paid patients, all revenue generated for the three months ended 30 June 2017 decreased approximately 4.3%, 16.5% and 34.5% respectively when compared with the three months ended 30 June 2016, primarily due to the decreased number of visits by plan members of contract customer and self-paid patients and number of contract customer and individual for dental solutions.

Other income

Other income increased by approximately 287% from approximately HK$83,000 for the three months ended 30 June 2016 to approximately HK$321,000 for the three months ended 30 June 2017 due to increase in interest income on loan receivables and bank interest income from short-term fixed deposit.

Other gains and losses

Other gains and losses changed from net gain of approximately HK$114,000 for the three months ended 30 June 2016 to net loss of approximately HK$234,000 for the three months ended 30 June 2017 mainly due to gain on disposal of a motor vehicle amounted to approximately HK$140,000 in May 2016 and disposal of a subsidiary in May 2017.

Medical and dental professional services expenses

The Group’s medical and dental professional services expenses slightly decreased by approximately 3.1% from approximately HK$12.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 to HK$11.9 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017, 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 reimbursement to plan members of the Group’s contract customers amounted to approximately HK$8.7 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017 and approximately HK$9.2 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016, representing a decrease of approximately 5.4%. Such decrease was mainly due to a decrease in the amount of medical services received by plan members through our MediNet Network or reimbursed by us as a result of a decrease usage by the active member of contract customers of the Group. The approximate 5.4% decrease in the aggregate amount of fees to affiliated doctors and affiliated auxiliary services providers and reimbursement to plan members also decreased in line with the approximate 4.3% decrease in the Group’s revenue from the provision of medical solutions to contract customers during the period.

(ii) Fees for engaging external dentists increased by approximately 48.2% from approximately HK$510,000 for the three months ended 30 June 2016 to approximately HK$756,000 for the three months ended 30 June 2017 as the Group experienced an increase in demand from self-paid patients for certain secondary dental care services which were carried out by external dentists with relevant expertise.

(iii) Laboratory charges are remain unchanged, approximately HK$1.4 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 and 2017 respectively.

(iv) Fee to the Group’s doctor decreased by approximately 13.6% from approximately HK$1.2 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 to approximately HK$1 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017, primary due to the changes in employment arrangement between the Group and Group’s doctor and dentist. As a result, fees to the Group’s doctor approximately HK$450,000 were recognised in “Staff cost” and fees to the dentist approximately HK$228,000 were recognized in “Medical and dental professional services expenses”. Without taking into account the abovementioned reclassification, then the fee to Group’s doctor increased by approximately 5.7% because of increase in management fees to our Group’s doctors.

Staff cost

Staff cost increased by approximately 31.2% from approximately HK$5.6 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 to HK$7.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017. Due to the change in employment arrangements between the Group and the Group’s doctors and dentist as discussed above, If the Group’s doctor fee and fee to dentist recognize to the fee to Group’s doctor and staff cost respectively, the staff cost will increase by approximately HK$1.6 million. The increase was mainly attributable by (i) an increase in staff costs paid to Directors; (ii) annual increase in salaries for the staff; (iii) an increase in number of staff for the establishment of a representative office in Shenzhen; (iv) an increase in number of staff in Hong Kong mainly due to set-up a new sales and marketing team and customer services team in connection with the Group’s expansion and enhancement of our customer services.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment increased by approximately 38.7% from approximately HK$274,000 for the three months ended 30 June 2016 to HK$380,000 for the three months ended 30 June 2017 primarily due to the purchase of specialized equipment and decoration for the new medical centre at Central, as well as setting up of the Shenzhen representative office and the refurbishment of existing clinics in Hong Kong.

Cost of medical and dental supplies

Cost of medical and dental supplies decreased slightly by approximately 3.3% from approximately HK$1 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 to HK$976,000 for the three months ended 30 June 2017, primary due to decrease in the amount of drugs and other medical consumables consumed for the provision of medical services to self-paid patient which was in line with the drop in revenue from medical services to self-paid patients.

Rental expenses

Rental expenses increased by approximately 49.7% from approximately HK$1.4 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 to HK$2.1 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017, mainly due to rental expenses from Shenzhen dental clinic, Shenzhen representative office, new medical centre at Central and the increase in rent for those existing premises for which leases were renewed.

Other expenses

Other expenses increase by 22.1% from approximately HK$2.6 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 to HK$3.2 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017, primarily due to increase in professional fees incurred to ensure ongoing compliance with relevant rules and regulation and other general administrative expenses such as utilities, repair and maintenance expenses.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense for the Group decreased by approximately 19.1% from approximately HK$388,000 for the three months ended 30 June 2016 to approximately HK$314,000 for the three months ended 30 June 2017. The decrease was mainly due to decrease in tax assessable income.


Loss and total comprehensive expense for the period

Due to the combined effect of the factors mentioned above, we recorded a loss for the three months ended 30 June 2017 approximately HK$1.5 million which decreased by approximately HK$377,000 as compared with loss for the period approximately HK$1.9 million in the three months ended 30 June 2016. If the listing expenses of approximately HK$4.2 million were excluded, the loss increased approximately HK$3.8 million accordingly.

Such increase was primarily attributable to (i) decrease in revenue of approximately HK$1.1 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017; (ii) the increase in staff cost and other operation expenses to support the Group's business development in Hong Kong such as set up a new sales and marketing team and customer services team in connection with the Group's expansion and enhance our customer services; (iii) to seize development opportunities in China's healthcare market, the Group incurred initial start-up expenses to establish the integrated medical clinic in Jiangmen, high-end dental clinic in Shenzhen and representative office in Shenzhen; (iv) additional legal and professional fee incurred to ensure ongoing compliance with relevant rules and regulation.

BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Our Group is one of the corporate healthcare solutions providers in Hong Kong for more than 20 years. We are principally engaged in the provision of corporate medical and dental solutions to contract customers through the design and administration of tailored medical and/or dental benefits plans to provide the provision of different combinations of medical and/or dental services through the MediNet Network and/or our own operated medical and dental clinics, to deliver the value for money and a comprehensive suite of healthcare solutions to our customer. In order to create a trusted long term relationship with our customer, we devote every effort to understanding our client well so as to meet their need.

We recorded a net loss for the three months ended 30 June 2017, our management believe that the Group's PRC business is the incubation period will no doubt lead to short to medium term operating losses. Although our PRC business is currently in development phase and has not generated any revenue, our management believe that PRC is a significant market potential for our Group. In line with the community healthcare reforms promoted by the Chinese government and strong purchasing power and health consciousness of middle-class population therefore the Group has established a representative office in Shenzhen to seeking and exploring development opportunities in major cities in the PRC. Meanwhile, the Group has also obtained the relevant approval 設置醫療機構批準書 (transliterated as the approval for establishment of medical institution) from the department of Health of Guangdong Province in mid-May 2017 and late June 2017 for the establishment of high-end dental clinic in Shenzhen and integrated medical clinic in Jiangmen respectively. We expect it will commence operations in late 2017 and those clinics will be operated with Hong Kong clinic-style with standardized interior designs, services and management to provide efficient and high standard healthcare services to our customers. Based on our management experience of medical and dental clinics in Hong Kong, we are confident that medical and dental clinics will perform well in the long run in China.

  • 12 -

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, we expect to be launched during the third quarter of 2017 and believe that it would generate additional sources of income and broaden our income stream.

Going forward, the Group will further strengthen our efforts in the PRC business and continue to leverage on its competitive advantages and competencies to foster our core business of medical and dental solutions and services in Hong Kong, to provide the best healthcare services to customers and maximizing the interest of our stakeholders.
