MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
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 9.6% decrease in revenue to approximately HK$17,303,000 (2019: approximately HK$19,139,000) for the Relevant Period.
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 35.5% to approximately HK$7,785,000 (2019: approximately HK$12,066,000). The Group recorded a loss for the Relevant Period of approximately HK$4,351,000 (2019: loss of approximately HK$2,316,000).
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, 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 Period, approximately 63.9% of the Group’s revenue (2019: approximately 58.2%) was generated from clients in Hong Kong, while approximately 24.4% (2019: approximately 32.2%) was generated from clients in Taiwan. Clients in Southeast Asian markets contributed approximately 11.7% of the revenue to the Group (2019: approximately 9.6%).
Hong Kong
During the Relevant Period, revenue from Hong Kong slightly decreased to approximately HK$11,056,000 from approximately HK$11,134,000 in the Previous Period, representing approximately 0.7% decrease. Sales continued to pick up in the last quarter of 2020 when compared with same period in 2019, as we observed a 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 meet clients’ needs.
– 8 –
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 the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. The Group is dealing with the change with a shift of focus on service type. With the various challenges encountered, the revenue from Taiwan for the Relevant Period decreased to approximately HK$4,221,000 (2019: approximately HK$6,156,000).
Southeast Asia
During the Relevant Period, revenue contribution from new operations in Indonesia and the Philippines have fueled total revenue growth for Southeast Asian markets to approximately HK$2,026,000 from approximately HK$1,849,000 in the Previous Period.
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 the 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 the existing and potential clients. In addition, the Group will explore new opportunities, such as sponsoring advertising-related awards to reach out more potential clients so as to enhance the Group’s overall profitability. Furthermore, 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 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.

Revenue
