NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Stream Ideas Group Limited 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. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2019 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 HKICPA, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap 622, Laws of Hong Kong). The financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the GEM Listing Rules.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2019 have not been audited by the Company’s independent auditors but have been reviewed by the Company’s Audit Committee.
HKFRS 16, Leases
HKFRS 16 is not expected to impact significantly on the way that lessors account for their rights and obligations under a lease. However, once HKFRS 16 is adopted, lessees will no longer distinguish between finance leases and operating leases. Instead, subject to practical expedients, lessees will account for all leases in a similar way to current finance lease accounting, i.e. at the commencement date of the lease the lessee will recognize and measure a lease liability at the present value of the minimum future lease payments and will recognise a corresponding “right-of-use” asset. After initial recognition of this asset and liability, the lessee will recognize interest expense accrued on the outstanding balance of the lease liability, and the depreciation of the right-of use asset, instead of the current policy of recognising rental expenses incurred under operating leases on a systematic basis over the lease term. As a practical expedient, the lessee can elect not to apply this accounting model to short-term leases (i.e. where the lease term is 12 months or less) and to leases of low-value assets, in which case the rental expenses would continue to be recognised on a systematic basis over the lease term.
HKFRS 16 is primarily affected the Group’s accounting as a lessee of leases for office premises, which are currently classified as operating leases. The application of the new accounting model is expected to lead to an increase in both assets and liabilities and to impact on the timing of the expense recognition in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the lease
The Group elected to use the modified retrospective approach for the adoption of HKFRS 16 and recognised the cumulative effect of initial application without restating comparative information.

The calculation of the basic losses per share for the six months ended 30 September 2019 and 2018 are based on the following:
| Profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders of the Company (HK$’000) Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period (’000) Basic and diluted earnings/(losses) per share (HK$) |
Six months ended 30 September 2019 2018 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (873) 2,062 200,000 200,000 (0.004) 0.01 |
Six months ended 30 September 2019 2018 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (873) 2,062 200,000 200,000 (0.004) 0.01 |
|---|---|---|
| 0.01 |
During the six months ended 30 September 2019, there was no dilutive potential ordinary shares in issue.
During the six months ended 30 September 2018, the conversion of all potential ordinary shares outstanding would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share. Hence, there was no dilutive effect on calculation of the diluted loss per share for the six months ended 30 September 2018.
The amount of dilutive earnings/losses per share is the same as basic losses per share for the six months ended 30 September 2019 and 2018.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW
Amidst the recent social unrest in Hong Kong together with the ongoing trade dispute between China and the United States, the advertising market in Hong Kong has been sluggish. Furthermore, the impact of new accounting standard – HKFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers and decline of revenue derived from Taiwan have also slowed the overall performance of the Group, which recorded approximately 8.5% decrease in revenue to approximately HK$11,959,000 (2018: approximately HK$13,064,000) for the Relevant Period. To reignite the Group’s growth engine, the Group has recently deployed more resources and applied the successful market expansion model in Malaysia to two new markets: Philippines and Indonesia.
Gross profit (after reversal of JAG points i.e. the points which the Group distributes to reward its members to participate in the Group’s advertising campaigns) decreased by approximately 16.4% to approximately HK$7,338,000 (2018: approximately HK$8,776,000). The Group recorded a loss for the Relevant Period of approximately HK$873,000 (2018: profit of approximately HK$2,062,000).
The Group principally engages in the provision of online advertising services, which consist of social viral service, engager service and mass blogging service. Its business primarily operates in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and recently Philippines and Indonesia. 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 Period, approximately 62.7% of the Group’s revenue (2018: approximately 47.2%) was generated from clients in Hong Kong, while approximately 27.3% (2018: approximately 42.3%) was generated from clients in Taiwan. Malaysia and Singapore contribute approximately 10% of the revenue to the Group (2018: approximately 10.5%), while Indonesia and Philippines have yet to contribute.
Hong Kong
During the Relevant Period, revenue from Hong Kong increased to approximately HK$7,502,000 from approximately HK$6,170,000 in the Previous Period, representing approximately 21.6% increase. The growth was mainly contributed by the increase in first quarter sales while a negative growth was observed in second quarter when compared to last year. In view of the instability of economical environment and increasing competition from other online advertising service providers, the Group continues to adjust the service mix to meet clients’ needs.
11
Taiwan
During the Relevant Period, 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 and instability of economical environment. The Group is dealing with the change with a shift of focus on service type. We also see tourism segment withdrew campaigns due to the recent social unrest in Hong Kong. With the various challenges encountered and the impact of new accounting standard – HKFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers, the revenue for the Relevant Period in Taiwan decreased to approximately HK$3,263,000 (2018: approximately HK$5,520,000).
Other Markets
During the Relevant Period, total revenue for other markets declined slightly to approximately HK$1,194,000 from approximately HK$1,374,000 in the Previous Period. Malaysia continues to be the core driver in sales revenue for Other Markets. To further strengthen growth of Other Markets, the Group has recently expanded to Philippines and Indonesia.
PROSPECTS
The Group anticipates intensifying competition in the online advertising industry as new emerging players are offering social media influencer services that rival with the Group’s service offerings. Despite the foreseeable challenges ahead, the Group remains confident in its ability to differentiate itself in the market owing to various competitive advantages, including its strong base of members covering different geographic markets and its history of serving a wide spectrum of reputable clients in various industries. Leveraging good relations with media agencies, the Group can also expect great opportunities such as being recommended to media agencies’ extensive client base, which will ensure stable and continuous requests 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 replicate its expansion success in Malaysia and apply the experience to drive the new businesses in Philippines and Indonesia.
To accomplish these objectives, the Group will also recruit more talents, especially for the business development segment, to strengthen its workforce. This will enable the Group to better cater for the everchanging needs of various industries, as well as those of existing and potential clients. In addition, the Group will consider new opportunities, such as sponsoring advertising-related awards to reach out to more potential clients so as to enhance the Group’s overall profitability. Furthermore, the Group will focus on enriching their 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 such strengths to reinforce its leading industry position. At the same time, by further developing these attributes, the Group will remain true to its vision of becoming the preferred online marketing partner for advertising agencies and brand owners in realising their pursuits.

PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF LISTED SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY
During the Relevant Period and up to the date of this announcement, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company’s listed securities.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE
During the Relevant Period and up to the date of this announcement, the Company has complied with the applicable code provisions (“ Code Provisions ”) of the Corporate Governance Code (“ CG Code ”) as set out in Appendix 15 of the GEM Listing Rules except the following deviations. Under 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. Meanwhile, Code Provisions A.2.2 to A.2.9 further stipulates 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 A.2.1 to A.2.9. 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 structure:–
(i) all directors are properly briefed on issues arising at board meetings (Code Provision A.2.2);
