Directors' Statement
To our shareholders,
We are pleased to present the annual report of Stream Ideas Group Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the financial year ended 31 March 2021 on behalf of the board (the "Board") of directors of the Company (the "Directors").
The Relevant Year was another challenging year for the Group as COVID-19 lockdowns in our operating markets frequently disrupt business flow, interrupt advertising campaigns and restrict advertising spending. To combat the challenges that arose due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group continued with the digital workforce strategy and relied more than ever before on video conferencing for new client development and internal meetings. The Group also strengthened its investment in new markets and platform upgrades. As a result of the Group's efforts, we managed to narrow our revenue shortfall to a decline of 6% compared to that of the Previous Year.
Most of the markets in which we currently operate have experienced multiple COVID-19 lockdowns this year. Although our work from home flexibility has enabled us to ensure business continuity, these lockdowns have affected numerous advertising campaigns including but not limited to shipment delays that affected product trial activities and local travel restrictions that significantly reduced participation of non-digital based advertising campaigns. To minimise the impact on sales, the Group emphasised on promoting advertising services that can be executed on-line such as social viral services and focused more on developing new clients with increased advertising needs during the pandemic by using e-commerce platforms.
The Group believes that the year ahead will continue to be filled with challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic. To solidify our business and strengthen our foothold in the industry, the Group has prioritised to drive growth in newly entered markets. Philippines has emerged to become the largest market for the Group in terms of member base size, while Indonesia has overtaken Hong Kong and Malaysia as the third largest member base. The Group will continue to look for new expansion opportunities in Southeast Asia and Mainland China. Furthermore, the Group will invest in technological development to keep us ahead in the market. We have expanded our information technology team this year and have sped up new developments including the upgrade of our mobile application push notification system and the revamp of our mobile application.
Going forward, we will be strengthening our talent pool and workforce to seize opportunities in the enormous online advertising industry in Southeast Asia. We will also explore co-operation and acquisition opportunities where suitable in the pursuit of growth. Most importantly, we will continue to monitor and respond to the needs of our customers, and remain committed to our mission to become their preferred partner for online advertising solutions.
We would like to take this opportunity to appreciate the Board of Directors, the Group's management team, and all of our dedicated and hardworking employees for their unwavering support and commitment. Furthermore, we are grateful for the continued support of our members and clients, without whom none of our accomplishments would have been possible. We look forward to many years of success working together with all of you.

Hong Kong, 17 June 2021
BUSINESS REVIEW
Despite the Group's efforts to expand into the markets of Southeast Asia, its overall performance was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly slowed down the advertising industry in all the markets it operates in. The Group has recorded approximately 6.0% decrease in revenue to approximately HK\$23,408,000 (2020: approximately HK\$24,907,000) for the Relevant Year.
Gross profit (after reversal of JAG points, i.e. the points which the Group distributes the reward to its members to participate in the Group's advertising campaigns) decreased by approximately 15.6% to approximately HK\$11,265,000 (2020: approximately HK\$13,348,000) for the Relevant Year. The Group recorded a loss for the Relevant Year of approximately HK\$9,535,000 (2020: loss of approximately HK\$5,341,000).
The Group principally engages in the provision of online advertising services, which mainly consist of social viral service, engager service and mass blogging service. It primarily operates in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore. The Group's services are delivered via its self-developed platforms, which allow clients to match their advertising campaigns or contents with the Group's relevant members based on their demographic details and behaviours, such as consumption patterns of certain products and services and brand preferences.
By geographical market
During the Relevant Year, approximately 62.5% of the Group's revenue (2020: approximately 58.9%) was generated from clients in Hong Kong, while approximately 25.3% (2020: approximately 30.4%) of the Group's revenue was generated from clients in Taiwan. Southeast Asia regions contribute approximately 12.2% (2020: approximately 10.7%) of the revenue to the Group.
Hong Kong
During the Relevant Year, revenue from Hong Kong slightly decreased from approximately HK\$14,665,000 for the Previous Year to approximately HK\$14,629,000 for the Relevant Year, representing approximately 0.2% decrease. Sales started to pick up in the second half of the Relevant Year when compared with same period in the Previous Year with stronger momentum in advertising needs among clients. However, the business environment is still challenging with increasing competition from other online advertising service providers and unstable economic environment amid COVID-19 pandemic. The Group will continue to adjust the service mix to better meet clients' needs.
Taiwan
During the Relevant Year, the operating environment in Taiwan continued to be challenging, mainly attributable to the changing behaviour of internet users, increasing competition from other online advertising service providers, instability of economy and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. The Group is dealing with the change with a shift of focus on service type. We also encountered clients from the tourism segment withdrawing campaigns due to the COVID-19 pandemic which caused significant impact to the business. With the various challenges encountered, the revenue for Taiwan for the Relevant Year decreased to approximately HK\$5,920,000 (2020: approximately HK\$7,572,000).
Southeast Asia
During the Relevant Year, revenue contribution from new operations in Indonesia and the Philippines have fueled total revenue growth for Southeast Asian markets to approximately HK\$2,859,000 from approximately HK\$2,670,000 in the Previous Year.
PROSPECTS
It is anticipated that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to affect the advertising industry in the near future, but as soon as those governments in our operating markets ease lockdown measures, the Group remains confident in its ability to rejuvenate sales with our experienced sales team, differentiated advertising services, our strengthened member base and our extensive relationship with reputable clients in various industries. Leveraging on good relations with media agencies, the Group also expects great opportunities such as referrals to media agencies' extensive client base, which will ensure stable and continuous orders for services. The Group's self-developed platforms have also served as an excellent tool for realising clients' performance targets while driving business growth. Looking ahead, the Group will focus on grooming our new operations to maturity and driving our core markets to new heights.
To accomplish these objectives, the Group also plans to recruit more talents, especially for the business development segment, to strengthen its workforce. This will enable the Group to better cater for the ever-changing needs of various industries, as well as those of existing and potential clients. In addition, the Group will focus on enriching its member base from different segments such as age group, interest and lifestyle to enhance the diversity of the Group's membership base and thereby attract more clients.
With years of experience, well-established reputation, and a first-mover advantage, the Group will leverage on such strengths to reinforce its leading industry position. At the same time, by further developing these attributes, the Group remains committed to its vision of becoming the preferred online marketing partner for advertising agencies and brand owners in realising their pursuits.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
The Board of the Company is committed to achieving and maintaining high corporate governance standards to safeguard the interests of the shareholders, enhance corporate value, formulate its business strategies and policies, and enhance its transparency and accountability.
The Company has adopted the principles and code provisions of the Corporate Governance Code (the "CG Code") contained in Appendix 15 to the GEM Listing Rules as the basis of the Company's corporate governance practices.
The Board is of the view that throughout the Relevant Year, the Company has complied with all the code provisions ("CP") as set out in the CG Code which are adopted by the Company with the exception of the deviations set out in the section headed "Chairman and Chief Executive Officer" on page 32 of this annual report.
DIRECTORS' SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
The Company has adopted a code of conduct regarding securities transactions by the Directors on terms no less exacting than the required standard of dealings as set out in Rules 5.48 to 5.67 of the GEM Listing Rules (the "Securities Dealing Code").
Specific enquiry has been made to all the Directors and the Directors have confirmed that they have complied with the required standards set out in Rules 5.48 to 5.67 of the GEM Listing Rules regarding their securities transaction throughout the year ended 31 March 2021.
The Company has also adopted the Securities Dealing Code for securities transactions by relevant employees of the Group who are likely to possess inside information in relation to the Company or its securities. No incident of non-compliance with the Securities Dealing Code by the relevant employees was noted by the Company.
ROLE OF THE BOARD
The Board oversees the management of the business and affairs of the Company. The Directors are accountable for making decisions objectively in the best interest of the Company and the shareholders as a whole.
The Board is responsible for making decisions on all major aspects of the Company's affairs, including the approval and monitoring of key policy matters, overall strategies, business plans and annual budgets, internal control and risk management systems, material transactions, major capital expenditure, appointment of Directors and other significant financial and operational matters.
The Board may delegate certain aspects of its management and administration functions to the management. In particular, the day-to-day management of the Company is delegated to the executive Directors of the Company and the management team of the Group.
Board Composition
During the year under review, the Company has at all times met the requirements of the GEM Listing Rules relating to the appointment of at least three independent non-executive Directors, representing one-third of the Board with at least one independent non-executive Director possessing appropriate professional qualifications or accounting or related financial management expertise.
The Board currently comprises nine members, consisting of five executive Directors and four independent nonexecutive Directors:
Executive Directors:
Ms. Cheung Lee (Ms. Jenny Cheung) (member of the Nomination Committee) Mr. Law Ka Kin (Mr. Anakin Law) (member of the Remuneration Committee) Mr. Lee Wing Leung Garlos (Mr. Garlos Lee) Mr. Leung Wai Lun Ms. Xu Xiuhong
Independent Non-executive Directors:
Mr. Kwan Chi Hong (Chairman of the Nomination Committee and member of the Audit Committee) Mr. Fenn David (Chairman of the Remuneration Committee and member of the Audit Committee) Mr. Ho Ho Tung Armen (Chairman of the Audit Committee and member of the Remuneration Committee and Nomination Committee) Ms. Guo Hongyan
The Board members have no financial, business, family or other material/relevant relationships with each other.
The biographies of the Directors are set out on pages 16 to 20 of this annual report.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Under the Code Provision A.2.1, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Code Provisions A.2.2 to A.2.9 further stipulate the roles of chairman for good corporate governance practices. As the Company does not have any director with the title of "chairman" and "chief executive officer", the Company has deviated from the aforesaid Code Provisions.
The roles of chairman and chief executive officer have been performed by the three executive Directors, Ms. Jenny Cheung, Mr. Anakin Law and Mr. Garlos Lee collectively. Since the three executive Directors are the founders of the Company and have in-depth knowledge about the management as well as the business operations of the Company, the Board believes that vesting the roles of chairman and chief executive officer in the three executive Directors allows for efficient business planning and decisions. The Board is also of the opinion that the following matters can still be carried out properly under the current management structure:
- (i) all Directors are properly briefed on issues arising at Board meetings (CP A.2.2);
- (ii) all Directors receive accurate and adequate information in a timely manner (CP A.2.3);
- (iii) establishment of corporate governance practice and procedures (CP A.2.5);
- (iv) effective communication with shareholders (CP A.2.8); and
(v) full and active contribution of all Directors to the affairs of the Board and constructive relations between executive and non-executive directors (CP A.2.6 and A.2.9).
The company secretary has been delegated to compile agenda for Board meetings, taking into account any matters proposed by Directors (CP A.2.4).
Independent Non-executive Directors
The independent non-executive Directors are highly skilled professionals with a broad range of expertise and experience in the fields of accounting, finance, legal and business. Their skills, expertise and number in the Board ensure that strong independent views and judgement are brought in the Board's deliberations and that such views and judgement carry weight in the Board's decision-making process. Their presence and participation also enable the Board to maintain high standards of compliance in financial and other mandatory reporting requirements, and provide adequate checks and balances to safeguard the interests of the shareholders.
Each independent non-executive Director gives the Company an annual confirmation of his/her independence. The Company considers such Directors to be independent under the guidelines set out in Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules.
Each independent non-executive Director, upon reasonable request, is given access to independent professional advice in circumstances he/she may deem appropriate and necessary for the discharge of his duties to the Company, at the expense of the Company.

Each of the independent non-executive Directors entered into a letter of appointment with the Company for a term of three years, which is renewable automatically for successive terms of one year thereafter until terminated in accordance with the terms of the letter of appointment.
Pursuant to the Articles of Association, the Directors shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board. Any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office until the first general meeting after his/ her appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting and any Director appointed by the Board as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election.
According to the Articles of Association, one-third of the Directors for the time being (if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to, but not less than, one-third) shall retire from office by rotation at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall retain office until the close of the meeting at which he/she retires and shall be eligible for re-election thereat.
Where vacancies arise at the Board, candidates will be proposed and put forward to the Board by the nomination committee of the Company as set out below under the section headed "Nomination Committee".
Responsibilities, Accountabilities and Contributions of the Board and Management
The Board should assume responsibility for leadership and control of the Company; and is collectively responsible for directing and supervising the Company's affairs.
The Board directly, and indirectly through its committees, leads and provides direction to the management by formulating strategies and overseeing their implementation, monitors the Group's operational and financial performance, and ensures that sound internal control and risk management systems are in place.
All Directors, including non-executive Directors and independent non-executive Directors, have brought a wide spectrum of valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning. The independent non-executive Directors are responsible for ensuring a high standard of regulatory reporting and disclosure of the Company and providing a balance on the Board for bringing effective independent judgement on corporate actions and operations.

Responsibilities relating to implementing decisions of the Board, directing and co-ordinating the daily operation and management of the Company are delegated to the management.
Training, Induction and Continuous Professional Development of Directors
Each newly appointed Director receives comprehensive, formal and tailored induction upon his/her appointment so as to ensure that he/she has appropriate understanding of the business and operations of the Company and that he/she is fully aware of his/her responsibilities and obligations under the GEM Listing Rules and relevant regulatory requirements.
According to the Code Provision A.6.5 of the CG Code, all Directors should participate in appropriate continuous professional development to develop and refresh their knowledge and skills to ensure that their contribution to the Board remains informed and relevant. The Company should be responsible for arranging and funding suitable training, as well as placing an appropriate emphasis on the roles, functions and duties of the Directors.

- The financial controller and company secretary conducts periodic review and identifies top risks affecting the Group's strategic objectives; escalates the top risks to the Executive Directors and through them, to the Audit Committee and the Board for their review; and facilitates the risk evaluation process.
-
- The outsourced internal audit function provides assurance on the effectiveness of controls in place to manage risks.
The Board acknowledges that it has the overall responsibility for maintaining sound and effective risk management and internal control systems to safeguard the Group's assets and shareholders' interests, as well as for reviewing their effectiveness. However, the Group's risk management and internal control systems are designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.
The Group is fully aware of its obligations under the GEM Listing Rules and the Securities and Futures Ordinance, which has established the internal policy to regulate the handling and dissemination of inside information. The Group conducts its affairs with close regard to the disclosure requirement under the GEM Listing Rules as well as the "Guidelines on Disclosure of Inside Information" published by the Securities and Future Commission. The internal policy is updated whenever required and adopted accordingly to guide its stakeholder communications and the determination of inside information in order to ensure consistent and timely disclosure.
The Group has established an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks faced, including strategic planning, corporate governance, financial reporting, core business processes, and compliance and risk management. Review of the significant risks faced has been conducted to ensure the effectiveness and adequacy of the risk management and internal control system for the year ended 31 March 2021.
For the year ended 31 March 2021 under review, the Board considers that the risk management and internal control systems of the Group are adequate and effective and the Company has complied with the relevant code provisions in the CG Code on internal control.

The Audit Committee also makes recommendations to the Board on the appointment and retention of the independent auditor.
During the year ended 31 March 2021, the remuneration paid or payable to the external auditor of the Company in respect of the audit and non-audit services was as follows:

Independent auditor's report to the shareholders of Stream Ideas Group Limited
(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
OPINION
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Stream Ideas Group Limited ("the Company") and its subsidiaries ("the Group") set out on pages 47 to 93, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2021 and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA") and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing ("HKSAs") issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA's Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants ("the Code") together with any ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in the Cayman Islands, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Expected credit loss allowances for trade receivables
Refer to Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements and the accounting policies Note 2(i)(i) and 2(k).
| The Key Audit Matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| As disclosed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group has gross trade receivables |
Our audit procedures to assess ECL allowances for trade receivables included the following: |
| amounting to approximately HK\$6,357,000 as at 31 March 2021, against which an allowance of HK\$414,000 for expected credit losses (ECLs) was recorded. Trade receivables are generally due within 60 to 130 days |
• evaluating the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of key internal controls which govern credit control, debt collection and estimate of expected credit losses; |
| from the date of billing. Loss allowances for trade receivables are based on management's estimate of the lifetime ECLs to be incurred, which is estimated by taking into account the credit loss experience, ageing of overdue trade receivables, customers' repayment history, customers' financial position and an assessment of both the current economic conditions and forward-looking information, all of which involve a significant degree of management judgement. |
• evaluating the Group's policy for estimating the credit loss allowance with reference to the requirements of the prevailing accounting standard; • assessing, on a sample basis, whether items in the trade receivables ageing report were classified within the appropriate ageing bracket by comparing individual items in the report with the relevant sales invoices; |
| We identified assessing the ECL allowances for trade receivables as a key audit matter because determining the level of the loss allowance is inherently subjective and require significant management judgement, which increases the risk of error or potential management bias. |
• assessing the appropriateness of management's estimates of loss allowance by examining the information used by management to derive such estimates, including testing the accuracy of the historical default data, evaluating whether the historical loss rates are appropriately adjusted based on current economic conditions and forward looking information; and |
| • re-performing the calculation of the loss allowance as at 31 March 2021 based on the Group's ECL |
allowance policies.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS (continued)
Assessment of measurement of point provision
Refer to Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements and the accounting policies Note 2(r).
| The Key Audit Matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| The Group operates a membership point programme that provides point rewards to programme members when members have completed missions related to advertising |
Our audit procedures to assess the measurement of the point provision included the following: |
| campaigns held by the Group or the Group's customers. Points accumulated by programme members can be redeemed for rewards within a limited time period, after which they expire. The Group estimates the unit fair |
• assessing the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of key internal controls over the point provision; |
| value of points and uses this estimate to make a provision for the estimated cost to the Group of points accumulated under the membership point programme ("the point provision"). If the points expire unexercised then the respective amount of the provision is reversed as a reduction to the cost of services. |
• inspecting the underlying documentation and comparing to the purchase information used in estimating the purchase costs of inventories to be used for settlement of points redeemed, on a sample basis; |
| As disclosed in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying amount of the point provision as at 31 March 2021 amounted to approximately HK\$7,115,000. Reversal of point provision of HK\$559,000 was recognised during the year ended 31 March 2021. |
• performing analytical procedures on the point provision, which included forming an expectation based on historical information and comparing the results with the point provision recognised by the Group; and |
| We identified the measurement of the point provision as a key audit matter because the estimation of the unit fair value of points involves judgement on a number of assumptions arising from the redemption of points, including estimated costs of purchase of inventories to be used for settlement of points redeemed and |
• challenging the key assumptions and critical judgements made by management which impacted their estimations of the point provision, considering key terms and conditions of membership terms of service and performing retrospective review on actual redemption pattern to assess whether there is an indication of |
INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITOR'S REPORT THEREON
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all the information included in the annual report, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
management bias.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
estimated future redemption pattern.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors are assisted by the Audit Committee in discharging their responsibilities for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. This report is made solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Maggie L.T. Lee.

1 CORPORATE INFORMATION
Stream Ideas Group Limited (the "Company") was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands. The registered office of the Company is located at PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands. The principal place of business of the Company is located at Unit 402A, 4/F, Benson Tower, 74 Hung To Road, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong.
The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in the provision of online advertising services.
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs"), which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("HKASs") and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. Significant accounting policies adopted by the Group are disclosed below.
The HKICPA has issued certain new and revised HKFRSs that are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Group. Note 2(c) provides information on any changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in these financial statements.
(b) Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").
The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is the historical cost basis except that the investments in equity securities are stated at their fair value as explained in the accounting policies set out in Note 2(e).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in Note 3.
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(c) Changes in accounting policies
The HKICPA has issued the following amendments to HKFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group:
- Amendments to HKFRS 3, Definition of a Business
- Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
- Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8, Definition of Material
None of these developments have had a material effect on how the Group's results and financial position for the current or prior periods have been prepared or presented. The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.
(d) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. When assessing whether the Group has power, only substantive rights (held by the Group and other parties) are considered.
An interest in a subsidiary is included in these financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances, transactions and cash flows and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing these financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Changes in the Group's interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire interest in that subsidiary, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset.
In the Company's statement of financial position, interests in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses (see Note 2(i)(ii)).
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(e) Investments in equity securities
The Group's policies for investments in equity securities, other than interests in subsidiaries, are set out below.
Investments in equity securities are recognised/derecognised on the date the Group commits to purchase/sell the investment. The investments are initially stated at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs, except for those investments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) for which transaction costs are recognised directly in profit or loss. For an explanation of how the Group determines fair value of financial instruments, see Note 24(e). These investments are subsequently accounted for as follows, depending on their classification.
An investment in equity securities is classified as FVPL unless the equity investment is not held for trading purposes and on initial recognition of the investment the Group makes an irrevocable election to designate the investment at FVOCI (non-recycling) such that subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income. Such elections are made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, but may only be made if the investment meets the definition of equity from the issuer's perspective. Where such an election is made, the amount accumulated in other comprehensive income remains in the fair value reserve (non-recycling) until the investment is disposed of. At the time of disposal, the amount accumulated in the fair value reserve (non-recycling) is transferred to retained earnings. It is not recycled through profit or loss. Dividends from an investment in equity securities, irrespective of whether classified as at FVPL or FVOCI, are recognised in profit or loss as other income in accordance with the policy set out in Note 2(s)(iii).
(f) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, including right-of-use assets arising from leases over leasehold properties when the Group is not the registered owner of the property interest, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Note 2(i)(ii)).
Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:
| — | Office equipment | 31 / years 3 |
|---|---|---|
| — | Computer equipment | 3 years |
| — | Leasehold improvements | 3 years |
| — | Furniture and fixtures | 4 years |
| — | Motor vehicles | 3 years |
— The Group's interests in buildings situated on leasehold land are depreciated over the shorter of the unexpired term of lease and the buildings' estimated useful lives, being no more than 50 years after the date of completion.
Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(g) Intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses (see Note 2(i)(ii)).
Amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the assets' estimated useful lives. The following intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised from the date they are available for use and their estimated useful lives are as follows:
— Computer software 3 years
Both the period and method of amortisation are reviewed annually.
(h) Leased assets
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the use of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from that use.
At the lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, except for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. When the Group enters into a lease in respect of a low-value asset, the Group decides whether to capitalise the lease on a lease-by-lease basis. The lease payments associated with those leases which are not capitalised are recognised as an expense on a systematic basis over the lease term.
Where the lease is capitalised, the lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, using a relevant incremental borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost and interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and hence are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.
The right-of-use asset recognised when a lease is capitalised is initially measured at cost. Which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, and any initial direct costs incurred. Where applicable, the cost of the right-of-use assets also includes an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, discounted to their present value, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Notes 2(f) and 2(i)(ii)).
The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or there is a change in the Group's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or there is a change arising from the reassessment of whether the Group will be reasonably certain to exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in 'Property, plant and equipment' and presents lease liabilities separately in the statement of financial position.
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(i) Credit losses and impairment of assets
(i) Credit losses from financial instruments and contract assets
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) on the following items:
- financial assets measured at amortised cost (including deposits with bank, cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables); and
- contract assets as defined in HKFRS 15 (see Note 2(l)).
Other financial assets measured at fair value, including equity securities measured at FVPL, are not subject to the ECL assessment.
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all expected cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).
The expected cash shortfalls are discounted using the following discount rates where the effect of discounting is material:
- fixed-rate financial assets, trade and other receivables and contract assets: effective interest rate determined at initial recognition or an approximation thereof;
- variable-rate financial assets: current effective interest rate.
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
In measuring ECLs, the Group takes into account reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. This includes information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
ECLs are measured on either of the following bases:
- 12-month ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and
- lifetime ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from all possible default events over the expected lives of the items to which the ECL model applies.
Loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. ECLs on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors and an assessment of both the current and forecast general economic conditions at the reporting date.
For all other financial instruments, the Group recognises a loss allowance equal to 12-month ECLs unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the financial instrument since initial recognition, in which case the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

(i) Credit losses and impairment of assets (continued)
(i) Credit losses from financial instruments and contract assets (continued)
Significant increases in credit risk
In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of default occurring on the financial instrument assessed at the reporting date with that assessed at the date of initial recognition. In making this reassessment, the Group considers that a default event occurs when (i) the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or (ii) the financial asset is 90 days past due. The Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.
In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition:
- failure to make payments of principal or interest on their contractually due dates;
- an actual or expected significant deterioration in a financial instrument's external or internal credit rating (if available);
- an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; and
- existing or forecast changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have a significant adverse effect on the debtor's ability to meet its obligation to the Group.
Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk is performed on either an individual basis or a collective basis. When the assessment is performed on a collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics, such as past due status and credit risk ratings.
ECLs are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in the financial instrument's credit risk since initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss. The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
Basis of calculation of interest income
Interest income recognised in accordance with Note 2(s)(ii) is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit-impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on the amortised cost (i.e. the gross carrying amount less loss allowance) of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(i) Credit losses and impairment of assets (continued)
(i) Credit losses from financial instruments and contract assets (continued)
Basis of calculation of interest income (continued)
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable events:
- significant financial difficulties of the debtor;
- a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
- it becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
- significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor; or
- the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties of the issuer.
Write-off policy
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset or contract asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off.
Subsequent recoveries of an asset that was previously written off are recognised as a reversal of impairment in profit or loss in the period in which the recovery occurs.
(ii) Impairment of other non-current assets
Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that property, plant and equipment (including right-of-use assets), intangible assets and interests in subsidiaries in the Company's statement of financial position may be impaired or an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased.
If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(i) Credit losses and impairment of assets (continued)
- (ii) Impairment of other non-current assets (continued)
- — Calculation of recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).
— Recognition of impairment losses
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable) or value in use (if determinable).
— Reversals of impairment losses
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset's carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.
(j) Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is calculated using the first-in first-out method and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(k) Trade and other receivables
A receivable is recognised when the Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration. A right to receive consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. If revenue has been recognised before the Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration, the amount is presented as a contract asset (see Note 2(l)).
Receivables are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less allowance for credit losses (see Note 2(i)(i)).
(l) Contract assets and contract liabilities
A contract asset is recognised when the Group recognises revenue (see Note 2(s)) before being unconditionally entitled to the consideration under the payment terms set out in the contract. Contract assets are assessed for ECLs in accordance with the policy set out in Note 2(i)(i) and are reclassified to receivables when the right to the consideration has become unconditional (see Note 2(k)).
A contract liability is recognised when the customer pays non-refundable consideration before the Group recognises the related revenue (see Note 2(s)). A contract liability would also be recognised if the Group has an unconditional right to receive non-refundable consideration before the Group recognises the related revenue. In such cases, a corresponding receivable would also be recognised (see Note 2(k)).
For a single contract with the customer, either a net contract asset or a net contract liability is presented. For multiple contracts, contract assets and contract liabilities of unrelated contracts are not presented on a net basis.
When the contract includes a significant financing component, the contract balance includes interest accrued under the effective interest method (see Note 2(s)(ii)).
(m) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Trade and other payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
(n) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash and cash equivalents are assessed for ECLs in accordance with the policy set out in note 2(i)(i).
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(o) Employee benefits
Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave, contributions to defined contribution retirement plans and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.
(p) Income tax
Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.
Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised.
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised when the liability to pay the related dividends is recognised.
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(p) Income tax (continued)
Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the Company or the Group has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:
- in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Company or the Group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or
- in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
- the same taxable entity; or
- different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered, intend to realise the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realise and settle simultaneously.
(q) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
(r) Membership point programme
The Group operates a JAG membership point programme (the "Programme"). Members of the Programme accumulate points by completing missions related to the advertising campaigns held by the Group or Group's customers. Points accumulated by the members can be redeemed for rewards, such as coupons and gifts.
The Group estimates the unit fair value of points and uses this estimate to make a provision for the estimated cost to the Group of points accumulated under the Programme on which the estimation involves judgement and a number of assumptions arising from the redemption of points, including estimated costs of purchase of inventories to be used for settlement of points redeemed and estimated future redemption pattern.
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(s) Revenue and other income
Income is classified by the Group as revenue when it arises from the provision of services in the ordinary course of the Group's business.
Revenue is recognised when control over a product or service is transferred to the customer, at the amount of promised consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled, excluding those amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue excludes value added tax or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts and rebates.
Further details of the Group's revenue and other income recognition policies are as follows:
(i) Sale of online advertising services
Sales of the Group's online advertising services are recognised as follows:
Revenue is recognised when the control of such services is transferred to the customer, which was taken to be point in time. The contract asset (either partially or in full) is reclassified to receivables when the entitlement to payment for that amount has become unconditional (see Note 2(l)). If the services are a partial fulfilment of a contract covering other services, then the amount of revenue recognised is an appropriate proportion of the total transaction price under the contract, allocated between all the services promised under the contract on a relative stand-alone selling price basis.
(ii) Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues under the effective interest method using the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
(iii) Dividend income
Dividend income from unlisted investments is recognised when the shareholder's right to receive payment is established.
(t) Translation of foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions during the periods are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. The transaction date is the date on which the Company initially recognises such non-monetary assets or liabilities.
The results of foreign operations are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Statement of financial position items are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the closing foreign exchange rates at the end of each reporting period. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange reserve.
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(t) Translation of foreign currencies (continued)
On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the profit or loss on disposal is recognised.
(u) Related parties
- (1) A person, or a close member of that person's family, is related to the Group if that person:
- (i) has control or joint control over the Group;

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(v) Segment reporting
Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in these financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group's most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Group's various lines of business and geographical locations.
Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.
3 ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
(a) Critical accounting judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following accounting judgements:
(i) Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables and contract assets
The Group uses a provision of matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables and contract assets. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various debtors that have similar loss patterns. The provision matrix is based on management's estimate of the lifetime ECLs to be incurred, which is estimated by taking into account the credit loss experience, ageing of overdue trade receivables, customers' repayment history and customers' financial position and an assessment of both the current economic conditions and forward looking information, all of which involve a significant degree of management judgement.
The provision of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of future economic conditions. The information about the ECLs and the Group's trade receivables and contract assets are disclosed in Notes 17 and 18 respectively. If the financial condition of the customers or the future economic conditions were to deteriorate, actual loss allowance would be higher than estimated.
(ii) Estimation of point provision
The estimation of the unit fair value of points involves judgement on a number of assumptions arising from the redemption of points, including estimated costs of purchase of inventories to be used for settlement of points redeemed and estimated future redemption pattern. As the redemption pattern is continually changing as a result of change in members' preference, it is possible that the historical experience that is used in estimation is not indicative of estimated future redemption pattern. Any increase or decrease in the provision would affect profit or loss in the future years.
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
4 REVENUE AND SEGMENT REPORTING
(a) Revenue
The principal activity of the Group is the provision of online advertising services.
Revenue represents online advertising services income. All of the revenue for the year ended 31 March 2020 and 2021 is recognised in accordance with HKFRS 15.
The Group has one reportable segment which is the provision of online advertising services. The Group's chief operating decision maker, which has been identified as the board of directors, reviews the consolidated results of the Group for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment. Therefore, no additional reportable segment information has been presented.
The Group's customer base is diversified and includes nil (2020: nil) customer with whom transactions had exceeded 10 percent of the Group's revenue. Details of concentrations of credit risk arising from customers are set out in Note 24(a).
Revenue expected to be recognised in the future arising from contracts with customers in existence at the reporting date
The Group has applied the practical expedient in paragraph 121 of HKFRS 15 to its sales contracts for online advertising services to exempt the disclosure of revenue expected to be recognised in the future arising from contracts with customers in existence at the reporting date with performance obligation being part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
(b) Segment reporting
Geographic information
The following table sets out information about the geographical location of (i) the Group's revenue from external customers and (ii) the Group's property, plant and equipment and intangible assets ("Specified non-current assets"). The geographical location of customers is based on the location at which the service was provided. The geographical location of the specified non-current assets is based on the physical location of the operation to which they are allocated or acquired.

Notes:
- (i) The Group operates a Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (the "MPF scheme") under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for employees employed under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance. The MPF scheme is a defined contribution retirement plan administered by independent trustees. Under the MPF scheme, the employer and its employees are each required to make contributions to the plan at 5% of the employees' relevant income, subject a cap of monthly relevant income of \$30,000. Contributions to the plan vest immediately.
- (ii) The Group also operates a defined contribution retirement benefit scheme under the Labour Pension Act (the "Act") for its employees employed by the Group's operation in Taiwan. Based on the Act, the Group's monthly contribution to individual pension accounts of employees covered by the defined contribution plan is at 6% of monthly salaries and wages. The funds are deposited in individual labour pension accounts at the Bureau of Labour Insurance.
- (iii) The Group has no other material obligation for the payment of retirement benefits beyond the annual contribution described above.

A provision for points accumulated under the advertising campaigns held by the Group or the Group's customers is recognised when members have completed missions related to the advertising campaigns. Points accumulated by the members can be redeemed for the Group's inventories. Provision is therefore made for the best estimate of the cost arising from the redemption of points. Reversal represents reversal of provision in relation to points which is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. It is recognised in profit or loss as a reduction to the cost of services.

Typical payment terms which impact on the amount of contract liabilities recognised are as follows:
— Online advertising service contracts
Certain customers are entitled to volume rebates based on aggregate sales over a 12-month period. Revenue from sales to these customers is recognised based on the price specified in the contract net of estimated volume rebates. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the rebates and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. A refund liability is recognised for expected volume rebate payable to the customers in relation to sales made throughout the reporting period.
The Group receives 50% of the contract value as a deposit from certain customers when they sign the service contracts. This deposit is recognised as a contract liability until the service contract is completed. The rest of the consideration is typically paid after the completion of the whole service contract.

(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
23 CAPITAL AND RESERVES (continued)
(f) Capital management
The Group's primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to fund its business and provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to maintain a balance between the higher shareholder returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions.
The Group monitors capital with reference to its debt position. The Group's strategy was to maintain the equity and debt in a balanced position and ensure there was adequate working capital to serve its debt obligations. The ratio of the Group's total liabilities over its total assets as at 31 March 2021 was 17% (31 March 2020: 15%).
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
(g) Distributable reserves
At 31 March 2021, the Company's reserves available for distribution, calculated in accordance with the Companies Law, Cap. 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands, amounted to approximately \$59,831,000 (2020: \$57,958,000).
24 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks arises in the normal course of the Group's business. The Group's exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Group to manage these risks are described below.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to trade receivables and contract assets. The Group's exposure to credit risk arising from deposits with bank and cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks for which the Group considers to have low credit risk.
(Expressed in Hong Kong dollars unless otherwise indicated)
24 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
(a) Credit risk (continued)
Trade receivables and contract assets
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer rather than the industry or country in which the customers operate and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Group has significant exposure to individual customers. At the end of the reporting period, 15% (2020: 13%) and 48% (2020: 38%) of the total trade receivables and contract assets was due from the Group's largest customer and the five largest customers respectively within the online advertising service segment.
Individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer's past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. Trade receivables are due within 60 to 130 days from the date of billing. Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from customers.
The Group measures loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, which is calculated using a provision matrix. As the Group's historical credit loss experience indicates different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance is calculated based on days past due from various customer segments which are grouped with similar patterns (i.e. by geographic region and customer type).
The following table provides information about the Group's exposure to credit risk and ECLs for trade receivables and contract assets:

| 7,782 | (69) | (29) | (98) |
Expected loss rates are based on actual loss experience over the past five years. These rates are adjusted to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historic data has been collected, current conditions and the Group's view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.
Movement in the loss allowance account in respect of trade receivables and contract assets during the year is as follows:
| \$'000 |
|---|
| – 98 |
| 98 316 |
| 414 |
An increase in days past due over 180 days resulted in an increase in loss allowance of \$279,000.

(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
The following table shows the remaining contractual maturities of non-derivative financial liabilities as at 31 March 2021 and 2020 of the Group's financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at 31 March 2021 and 2020) and the earliest date the Group can be required to pay:

(c) Interest rate risk
As at 31 March 2021 and 2020, the Group is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk.
(d) Foreign currency risk
The functional currency and reporting currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is Hong Kong dollar, except that the functional currencies of certain subsidiaries are New Taiwan dollar, MYR, Singapore dollar, Philippine peso and Indonesian rupiah.
As at 31 March 2021 and 2020, the Group was not exposed to any significant currency risk.

Financial assets measured at fair value
Fair value hierarchy
The following table presents the fair value of the Group's financial instruments measured at the end of the reporting period on a recurring basis, categorised into the three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in HKFRS 13, Fair value measurement. The level into which a fair value measurement is classified is determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:
- Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
- Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available.
- Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs.
The Group has a team performing valuations for the investment in Asia Interactive at fair value through profit or loss which are categorised into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The team reports directly to the financial controller. Analysis of changes in fair value measurement is prepared by the team at the end of each reporting period and is reviewed by financial controller.

Fair value hierarchy (continued)
During the year ended 31 March 2021 and 2020, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or transfers into or out of Level 3. The Group's policy is to recognise transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting period in which it occurs.
Information about Level 3 fair value measurements
| Valuation technique | Significant unobservable inputs |
% | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Investment in Asia Interactive | Market comparable companies |
Discount for lack of marketability |
25 |
The fair value of investment in Asia Interactive is determined using the price/earning ratios of comparable listed companies adjusted for lack of marketability discount. The fair value measurement is negatively correlated to the discount for lack of marketability. As at 31 March 2021, it is estimated that with all other variables held constant, an increase/decrease in discount for lack of marketability by 5% would have increased/decreased the Group's loss for the year by \$126,000 (2020: \$342,000).
The carrying amounts of the Group's financial instruments carried at cost or amortised cost are not materially different from their fair values as at 31 March 2021 and 2020 because of the immediate or short-term maturity of the financial instruments.
The movements during the year in the balance of these Level 3 fair value measurements are as follows:
| \$'000 | |
|---|---|
| Investment in Asia Interactive: | |
| At 1 April 2019 Purchase of investment Fair value adjustment |
– 5,000 126 |
| At 31 March 2020 Fair value adjustment |
5,126 (3,241) |
| At 31 March 2021 | 1,885 |
Fair value adjustment of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the line item "other (loss)/income, net" on the face of the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
All the gains or losses recognised in profit or loss for the year arise from the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss held at the end of the reporting period.
