CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group is principally engaged in (i) the provision of lottery-related services; (ii) the provision of Internet Plus solution services; and (iii) other services (including catering services and consulting services). With the advantage of an excellent R&D team and ample industry experience, the Group has been applying the relevant “Internet Plus” solutions into multiple market segments, including government affairs, leasing, public security, healthcare, lottery, tourism and education. Since 2017, the Group has been cooperated with Sino-TCM, the sole shareholder of the Vendor, to explore development opportunities in the healthcare area by forming joint venture companies in Hong Kong and Shanghai, the PRC. By way of the formation of the joint venture, the Group and Sino-TCM initially began the cooperation with the sale of healthcare products via cross border e-commerce model. By leveraging the technical advantages and resources between the Group and Sino-TCM, Sinopharm Health is further developing towards provision of Internet Plus technical solutions to healthcare industry.

Upon Completion, the Target Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the shareholding interests of the Group in Sinopharm Health will increase from 30% to 100%, while at the same time, the Vendor (and accordingly Sino-TCM) will become a strategic investor and substantial shareholder of the Group by virtue of its shareholding interests in the Company, thereby further strengthening the business relationship between the Group and Sino-TCM.

Sino-TCM takes a leading role in the comprehensive healthcare as well as in pharmaceutical industry by using latest technology to build a one-stop comprehensive smart healthcare technology platform (“ Comprehensive Healthcare Platform ”) according to their strategy in developing comprehensive healthcare industry business chain.

In accordance with the Management Service Agreement, Sinopharm Health will provide assistance to Sino-TCM in building a digitalised and intelligentised tracking and tracing function application based on blockchain technology as backbone covering from the source of raw materials, production process, distribution and to the sales to customers; with the online platform which integrates national traditional Chinese pharmaceutical data and uses big data and artificial intelligence technology in assisting online medical diagnosis, utilising the Internet of things technology to identify, locate, track, monitor and manage the distribution of pharmaceuticals, analysing consumer spending behaviors by the use of big data analysis and implementing precision marketing in the sale of healthcare products to consumers. As a result of the aforesaid service functions to assist Sino-TCM through the platform, by using Internet Plus technology to link up online users and their data with the offline services and products, while simultaneously monitor and manage the service and products, the sharing of healthcare information and the creating of a matured health community ecosystem of users and service providers will be ultimately achieved.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Comprehensive Healthcare Platform is a centralised data processing hub which links up all the nodes and centralised processes the data gathered throughout the services and products provided by Sino-TCM via its online and offline channels. The functions provided by the Comprehensive Healthcare Platform will utilise “Internet Plus” technology to perform real time tracking, tracing and data collection for Chinese traditional medicine and herbs throughout the whole service process. The Comprehensive Healthcare Platform with comprehensive records can provide efficient and effective way for Sino-TCM to manage the quality of their services and products. In addition, the Comprehensive Healthcare Platform will provide a function utilising Tencent Cloud’s artificial intelligence and big data technology in referencing to the recommended treatment suggestions to assist doctor in medical diagnosis and recommendation on relevant drugs and supplements product for wellness to the patients based on the big data analysis result (such as the consumers’ spending records, membership information) such that both doctors and patients as the users can obtain direct information according to their respective needs through the platform directly and conveniently.

With reference to the report of World Health Organisation, one-tenth of medicine in the market of the developing countries are either falsified or substandard. The USA and the European Union are proactively optimising the framework for precise tracking and tracing of medicine. According to an industry research report, the pharmaceutical market has reached around RMB800 billion in 2017 in the PRC, to control the quality of medicine via track and trace technology which is becoming vitally important. For the past few years, the regulatory authorities have suggested the need for improvement of the system for precise tracking and tracing of food and medicine, for instance, reporting the data in relation to the raw material procurement, manufacturing process, product quality control and sales, and such data must be real, accurate, complete and traceable. In principle, food and pharmaceutical producers should build up a track and trace framework through technical way. The platform has a great potential of development, and through which, Sinopharm Health can instantly and precisely develop solutions for healthcare industry. The Board believes that collaboration between Sinopharm Health and the Sino-TCM will bring considerable income to the Group’s Internet Plus business after the Acquisition.

Apart from the breakthrough of the Group’s Internet Plus healthcare business as a result of the Acquisition, the Group can also enjoy the benefits to be brought by Sinopharm Health in terms of cross-border e-commerce segment. According to an industry report, the market size of e-commerce in the PRC has significantly blossomed, with turnover from RMB3.15 trillion in 2013 to RMB8.06 trillion in 2017, and further reached RMB4.5 trillion in the first half of 2018; among which, several cross-border e-commerce platforms, such as JD.COM (京東 ), NetEase Kaola (網易考拉 ) and Tmall (天貓國際 ), have already occupied over half of the market share. Meanwhile, the import to total turnover of the e-commerce market has also increased on a continual basis from a growth of 14.3% in 2013 to a growth of 21.8% in 2017, and reached a growth of 22.9% in the first half of 2018. Under the backdrop of increasing consumption from rural area, the momentum has provided the e-commerce market and hence the Group with robust and extensive customer base, from first-tier cities to fourthtier cites.

In view of the above, the Board considers that the business prospect of the Target Group is promising and the foundation of the Group’s Internet Plus Health business could be solidified, unlocking the value of the Target Group through the Acquisition. The Board believes that the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement would unleash the potential of the Group’s Internet Plus healthcare business and create more opportunities to the Group arising from the synergy effect of the Target Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pricing and payment terms

Sino-TCM shall pay an annual service fee in the sum of RMB28 million to Sinopharm Health for the services provided by Sinopharm Health under the Management Service Agreement, which shall be settled within 60 business days following the end date of the preceding financial year. The service fee payable by Sino-TCM under the Management Service Agreement is subject to a 5% year-on-year increment during the term thereof.

The annual service fee under the Management Service Agreement was determined with reference to, among others, (i) the historical transactions between the Group and independent third parties for provision of similar business management and consulting services; and (ii) the business needs of Sino-TCM.

No undue reliance on Sino-TCM

According to the Management Service Agreement, the annual service fee payable by Sino-TCM for the term from 12 November 2018 to 11 November 2021 would be RMB28 million, depending on the delivery of service by the Group throughout the term. Such service income may potentially have a significant contribution to the revenue of the Group, therefore raising concern as to any potential reliance issue of the Group on Sino-TCM. The Company is of the view that the transactions under the Management Service Agreement would not give rise to the Company’s undue reliance on Sino-TCM based on the following factors:

Business model of the Internet Plus business

The Internet Plus business of the Group was originated from its existing lottery business. The Group has been engaged in the China lottery business since and around 2005. As the market developed throughout the years, it gradually became more and more saturated as all the provinces in China were covered by several service providers including the Group. As a result, it was also not easy to open up new business opportunities based on the Company’s existing platform so the Group has then turned its focus into developing new value-added services to its lottery business. Seeing the interest of clients were in how to improve lottery sales, the Group has created a new interactive marketing solution for lottery named “Yao Cai 搖彩”, in and around 2016, where the interactive marketing solution as technology backbone is introduced, which can be customised and applied to other segments besides its lottery business. Throughout the development of the interactive marketing solution business, the Group worked closely with Tencent Cloud. To further strengthen the cooperation between the Group and Tencent Cloud, both parties reached into a strategic cooperation in recognising each other as priority strategic partner on a nationwide basis in four specific market segments, namely government affairs, public security, health care and lottery.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The business model of “Internet Plus” is substantially similar to the Group’s lottery business, which is generally tender based while the Company earns its contracted income. The solutions provided to the clients are modified or tailor-made according to their specific requirements. Given the similar nature of the Group’s business in terms of the similar underlying techniques, in view of the rapid growth of the Internet Plus business including the entering into of the Management Service Agreement, the Company has planned to, in addition to the existing expertise of the Group, hire relevant professional(s) for its Internet Plus business such that it would have sufficient manpower to accommodate the service to be provided to its expanding Internet Plus business clients, including Sino-TCM. Considering (i) the network and relationship in the PRC as accumulated over the years by the Group; (ii) the expertise and technique required for the development of the interactive marketing solution; (iii) that the Internet Plus industry in the PRC is still at relatively early stage and is emerging, unlike the lottery industry which is comparatively saturated; and (iv) that the market demand for the Internet Plus industry, which is elaborated in the sub-section headed “Industry landscape” below, the Group is expected to be capable to find substitute customers and therefore, the business model of the Internet Plus business can be easily changed to diversify the income sources of the Company.

Potential reliance on Sino-TCM

Since the commencement of the Internet Plus business of the Group in 2017, the Group has contracted with various government authorities such as provincial lottery centres and Shenzhen Traffic Police and the Group started to generate revenue for its Internet Plus business in late 2017. During the year of 2017, the Group successfully signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Tencent Cloud. Subsequently, to advance the strategic cooperation between the Group and Tencent Cloud, in September 2018, the Group has also entered into a service contract with Tencent Cloud for the provision of Internet Plus services under the Shenzhen Lease Platform, the contract amount of which, being a share of 14.88% of the total revenue generated by Tencent Cloud from the Shenzhen Lease Platform, is expected to be recognised as revenue of the Group in the second half of the financial year ending 30 June 2019 for which a supplemental agreement can be signed separately if needed.

The Group has also been in negotiation with various potential customers from different industries for the cooperation in relation to the Internet Plus business, which would further diversify the customer portfolio should any of such business opportunities materialise.

Since the commencement of the Internet Plus business, being one of the new business development direction of the Group, the Group has secured new customers including but not limited to Tencent Cloud and various government authorities and has been in negotiation with various potential customers from different industries as driven by the demand and the popularity for Internet Plus solution which is expected to diversify its customer base and broaden its income stream, the Group has been planning to diversify its business focus. In addition, taking into account the efforts made by the Group on maintaining its lottery business and the long history of stable business relationship with the existing customers of the Group and the ability to recruit new customers (which is elaborated in the below sub-section headed “The Group’s capability of maintaining its revenue in the future”), the Company is of the view that any potential reliance to the transactions with Sino-TCM is unlikely to happen.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Industry landscape

In respect of the market demand of the Internet Plus industry, the potential customer base from various segments has been growing, as supported by the growing popularity of the Internet and related services and favourable government policies in the PRC. With reference to the report on economic performance of Internet and related services in 2018 (2018 年互聯網和相關服務業經 濟運行情況) as published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC (中 國工業和信息化部) in January 2019, it is noted that the revenue generated from the Internet and related service industry has been growing, which has reached RMB956.2 billion in 2018, showing a year-on-year increase of 20.3%. Moreover, the number of mobile applications has been growing from 4.07 million units at the beginning of 2018 to 4.49 million units at the end of 2018, representing an increase of approximately 10.32% throughout the year, demonstrating the rising popularity of the Internet and related services. On the other hand, with reference to the circular of guiding opinion (關 於加快推進全國一體化線上政務服務平台建設的指導意見) released by the State Council in July 2018, it is urged that online supplies of government service items shall be maximized to enhance the coordination among regions and departments on the basis of data sharing and to streamline the government service procedures. The wide application of mobile service supplies in areas such as public security, human resources and social security, education, health, civil affairs, and housing and urban-rural construction, is also encouraged. As a result, it is expected that the number of governmental bodies from various areas adopting Internet Plus technology for their operations will increase.

According to the State Council’s guideline on the promotion of Internet Plus healthcare (關於促 進“互聯網 + 醫療健康”發展的意見 ) released in April 2018, medical institutions are encouraged to use information technologies such as the Internet to expand the space and content of healthcare service. Integrated healthcare service covering the whole treatment process will be constructed. In particular, healthcare institutions are encouraged to cooperate with Internet companies to enhance the integration of regional healthcare information.

While the PRC government advocating the application of “Internet Plus” technology in their planning and reports and the expected rising demand for Internet Plus services, the Group has leveraged on its business resources and identified a number of government bodies with the demand for “Internet Plus” technology and eventually customized and applied the interactive marketing solution backbone to traffic police, finance bureau and housing bureau in the PRC.

On the other hand, given the huge demand on the Internet Plus technology, the market supply has been increasing simultaneously. Based on 中國人工智能發展報告 2018 published by the China Institute for Science and Technology Policy at Tsinghua University (清華大學中國科技政策研究 中心), it is notable that the number of artificial intelligence enterprises in the PRC exhibited a yearon-year growing trend over the past years while the increment of the number of enterprises has been on a generally growing trend with an average compound annual growth rate of approximately 10% from 2012 to 2017 and the number of enterprises has reached 1,011 as at June 2018, which ranked the second globally. With reference to 中國大數據發展調查報告 (2018 年 ) published in April 2018 by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (中國信息通信研究院), a scientific research institute directly under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the PRC (中國工業和信息化部), the value of economic activities of the big data industry, including but not limited to big data analysis and cloud servicing and related consulting, amounted to RMB470 billion in 2017 (being the latest available data), which has increased by 30% from the previous year, and is projected to continue to grow until 2020, based on the survey on the big data related companies in the PRC. As such, it is observed that the Internet Plus industry which involves big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence technology is generally active with a growing number of market players in recent years.

Since (i) the demand for the Group’s Internet Plus solution is growing; (ii) the market is generally active given the growing suppliers and customers within the industry; (iii) the Internet Plus solution backbone can be customised and applied in other segments; and (iv) in-depth cooperation with tycoons from various industries has been established since the rising of the Group’s Internet Plus business, such as Tencent Cloud, UnionPay Shenzhen and now with Sino-TCM, which is not a single opportunity to the Group, the Company is of the view that there is no domination issue in the Internet Plus industry.

The Group’s capability of maintaining its revenue in the future

In respect of the lottery business, the entering into of the contracts with new and existing customers will be carried out through tender. Such business contracts are relatively stable as the decision on altering the service providers imposes risk and threats to the stability and continuity of the lottery operations. Taking into consideration the above reasons, the Group has a competitive advantage in maintaining stable business relationship with its customers. As the market became comparatively saturated and the overall regulatory atmosphere is tight, the Group would focus on maintaining its service quality, client relationship, as well as marketing a solution to enhance lottery sales by way of utilising Internet Plus technology, in order to keep its competitive advantage in recruiting new customers and maintaining the business with existing customers, therefore maintaining its revenue from lottery-related business. With the Group’s successful renewals track records over the past decade as evidenced by the renewal contract rate in terms of number of renewal contracts, as computed based on the number of renewal contracts entered divided by the total number of contracts entered, being the aggregate of the renewal contracts entered and the new contracts entered, in recent years from 2016 and up to the Latest Practicable Date of 43%, as compared to that from 2009 and up to the Latest Practicable Date of 43%, it is expected that the Group will have the capability to maintain stable business relationship with its customers and therefore to secure the renewal contracts and the corresponding revenue from such customers in the future. Moreover, the contract renewal rate in terms of revenue size, as computed based on the aggregate revenues from renewal contracts entered divided by the aggregate revenues from all contracts entered in recent years from 2016 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, reached 71%, which showed a stable pattern as compared to that from 2009 and up to the Latest Practicable Date of 65%.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In respect of the Internet Plus business, as elaborated in the above section, it is noted that the potential customer base of the Internet Plus industry has been growing, whereby demand for the Internet Plus service is expected to be strong. Further, the expanding market size of e-commerce in the PRC as analysed in the above section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition” would provide the Group with a robust and extensive customer base, from first-tier cities to fourth-tier cities. The Group will continue to actively seek new customers for expanding and broadening the customer base under the Group’s Internet Plus business. Furthermore, while the contracts signed with existing and new customers are secured mainly through tenders, the Company believes its “Internet Plus” clients would exercise caution in making decision on altering the service providers and therefore, the Company has reasonable advantage in maintaining its revenue from existing business.

Therefore, in view of the generally upward trend of the Internet Plus industry and the stable business relationship with the existing customers of the Group, the Company believes that it has the proper capability of maintaining its revenue in the future on top of the service agreement with Sino-TCM.

Notwithstanding that the transactions between the Company and Sino-TCM under the Management Service Agreement are not mutual and complimentary, having considered the above analysis of other relevant factors, the Company is of the view that the Group will not become unduly reliant on SinoTCM in the years ahead.
