FINAL RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
This announcement, for which the directors of SkyNet Group Limited (the “ Company ”) collectively and individually accept responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange (the “ GEM Listing Rules ”) for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The directors of the Company, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this announcement misleading.

RESULTS
The board of directors (the “ Board ”) of the Company is pleased to announce the audited consolidated results of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “ Group ”) for the year ended 31 December 2015 together with the comparative amounts for the six months ended 31 December 2014.
As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 15 October 2014, the financial year end date of the Group has been changed from 30 June to 31 December, commencing from the financial year ended 31 December 2014. Accordingly, the current financial year which covered from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015 is the first full year after the change of financial year end date. Accordingly, the comparative amounts shown in the audited consolidated financial statements covering the Group’s six months of operation from 1 July 2014 to 31 December 2014 are not entirely comparable with the amounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 which cover the Group’s twelve months of operation.

Notes:
(a) Merger reserve
The merger reserve of the Group represents the differences between the carrying amount of the share capital and share premium of Blu Spa Group Limited at the date on which it was acquired by the Company and the nominal amount of the Company’s share issued in exchange pursuant to the group reorganisation. Blu Spa Group Limited had been disposed in prior years and therefore the merger reserve had been transferred to accumulated losses.
(b) Contributed surplus
Pursuant to the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda and the special resolution passed at the extraordinary general meeting held on 28 February 2013, transfer a sum of approximately HK$175,357,000 from share premium account to the contributed surplus account was approved. The directors of the Company further approved to transfer a sum of approximately HK$278,124,000 from contributed surplus account to accumulated losses account for the purpose of setting off against the accumulated losses.
(c) Convertible bonds reserve
The convertible bonds reserve represents the value of the unexercised equity component of convertible bonds issued by the Company.
(d) Translation reserve
Exchange differences relating to the translation of the results and net assets of the Group’s foreign operations from their functional currencies to the Group’s presentation currency (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the translation reserve.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands and with effect from 22 April 2014, the Company deregistered in the Cayman Islands and continued in Bermuda as an exempted company with limited liability and its shares are listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. Its ultimate holding company is Xing Hang Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The addresses of the registered office and the principal place of business of the Company in Hong Kong are at Unit 3811, 38/F Shun Tak Centre, West Tower, 168-200, Counaught Road Central, Hong Kong.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“ HK$ ”), which is also the functional currency of the Company and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (HK$’000) except otherwise indicated.
The Company is an investment holding company and the principal activities of its subsidiaries are marketing development, product distribution and customer support services and provision of in-flight WLAN and WIFI engineering and services.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”), which is a collective term that includes all applicable HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“ HKASs ”) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“ HKICPA ”), and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of the Stock Exchange (the “ GEM Listing Rules ”) and by the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The provisions of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) (“ New CO ”) regarding preparation of accounts and directors’ reports and audits became effective for the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2015. Further, the disclosure requirements set out in the GEM Listing Rules regarding annual accounts have been amended with reference to the new CO and to streamline with HKFRSs. Accordingly the presentation and disclosure of information in the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 have been changed to comply with these new requirements. Comparative information in respect of the six months ended 31 December 2014 are presented or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements based on the new requirements. Information previously required to be disclosed under the predecessor Companies Ordinance or GEM Listing Rules but not under the New CO or amended GEM Listing Rules are not disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an
— 8 —
asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17 and measurement that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 or value in use in HKAS 36.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for asset or liability.
Change of Financial Year-end date
Pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors of the Company passed on 15 October 2014, the Company’s financial year end date was changed from 30 June to 31 December. Accordingly, the comparative amounts shown in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows and related notes covering the Group’s six months of operation from 1 July 2014 to 31 December 2014 are not entirely comparable with the amounts for the current financial year which covered the Group’s twelve months of operation.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HKFRSS
In the current year, the Group has applied, for the first time, the following new and revised standards and interpretations (collectively referred to as the “ new and revised HKFRSs ”) issued by the HKICPA, which are effective for the Group’s financial year beginning from 1 January 2015. A summary of the new and revised HKFRSs adopted by the Group is set out as follows:
HKAS 19 (Amendments) Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions HKFRSs (Amendments) Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle HKFRSs (Amendments) Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle
Amendments to HKAS 19 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions
The amendments introduce a relief to reduce the complexity of accounting for certain contributions from employees or third parties under defined benefit plans. When the contributions are eligible for the practical expedient provided by the amendments, a company is allowed to recognise the contributions as a reduction of the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered, instead of including them in calculating the defined benefit obligation. The amendments do not have an impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements as the defined benefit plans operated by the Group are wholly funded by contributions from the Group and do not involve contributions from employees or third parties.
— 9 —
Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle and 2011-2013 Cycle
These two cycles of annual improvements contain amendments to nine standards with consequential amendments to other standards. Among them, HKAS 24 Related Party Disclosures has been amended to expand the definition of a “related party” to include a management entity that provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity and to require the disclosure of the amounts incurred for obtaining the key management personnel services provided by the management entity. These amendments do not have an impact on the Group’s related party disclosures as the Group does not obtain key management personnel services from management entities.
4. NEW AND REVISED HKFRSS IN ISSUE BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
The Group has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:
HKAS 1 (Amendments) Disclosure Initiative1 HKAS 16 and HKAS 38 (Amendments) Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation1 HKAS 16 and HKAS 41 (Amendments) Agriculture: Bearer Plants1 HKAS 27 (Amendments) Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements1 HKFRSs (Amendments) Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle1 HKFRS 9 Financial Instrument3 HKFRS 10 and HKAS 28 (Amendments) Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture4 HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 andHKAS 28 Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation (Amendments) Exception1 HKFRS11 (Amendments) Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations1 HKFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts2 HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers3

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments
HKFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduced new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 was amended in 2010 include requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition, and further amended in 2013 to include the new requirements for general hedge accounting. Another revised version of HKFRS 9 was issued in 2014 mainly to include (a) impairment requirements for financial assets and (b) limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements by introducing a ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ (FVTOCI) measurement category for certain simple debt instruments.
Key requirements of HKFRS 9 are described below:
-
all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent reporting periods. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured at FVTOCI. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair value at the end of subsequent accounting periods. In addition, under HKFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.
-
with regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, HKFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value of financial liabilities attributable to changes in the financial liabilities’ credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.
-
in relation to the impairment of financial assets, HKFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under HKAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.
-
the new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting mechanisms currently available in HKAS 39. Under HKFRS 9, greater flexibility has been introduced to the types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify for hedging instruments and the types of risk components of nonfinancial items that are eligible for hedge accounting. In addition, the retrospective quantitative effectiveness test has been removed. Enhanced disclosure requirements about an entity’s risk management activities have also been introduced.
— 11 —
The directors anticipate that the application of HKFRS 9 in the future may have a material impact on the amounts reported in respect of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities. Regarding the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of that effect until a detailed review has been completed.
HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In July 2014, HKFRS 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including HKAS 18 Revenue , HKAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related Interpretations when it becomes effective.
The core principle of HKFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
-
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
-
• Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract(s) • Step 3: Determine the transaction price • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s) • Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Under HKFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in HKFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by HKFRS 15.
The directors anticipate that the application of HKFRS 15 in the future may have a material impact on the amounts reported and disclosures made in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of HKFRS 15 until the Group performs a detailed review.
The directors do not anticipated that the application of other new and revised HKFRSs will have material impact on these consolidated financial statements.

6. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Group’s reportable segments have been determined based on the information reported to the chairman of the Board, being the chief operating decision maker, that are used for performance assessment and to make strategic decisions. The Group’s operating businesses are structured and managed separately according to the nature of their operations and the products and services they provide. Each of the Group’s reportable segments represents a strategic business unit that offers products and services which are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other reportable segments. The Group currently has three reportable segments:
-
(a) Sale of beauty products
-
(b) Provision of therapy services
-

Segment revenue reported above represents revenue generated from external customer. There were no inter-segment sales in the current year (for the six months ended 31 December 2014: Nil).
Segments results represent (loss suffered)/profit earned by each segment without allocation of central administration costs including directors’ emoluments, other income, finance costs and income tax expense. This is the measure reported to the chief operation decision makers for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.
For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments:
-
all assets are allocated to reportable segments other than partial property, plant and equipment, partial inventories, partial deposits, prepayments and other receivables and goodwill that are not attributable to individual segments. Assets used jointly by individual segments are allocated on the basis of the revenues earned by individual segments; and
-
all liabilities are allocated to reportable segments other than amount due to a former director, partial accruals and other payables, tax payables, other borrowings and partial obligations under finance leases that are not attributable to individual segments.

11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the six months ended 31 December 2014, the directors of the Company decided to abandon a business segment of sale of beauty equipment, which constituted a major line of business. The abandonment was consistent with the Group’s long-term policy to focus its activities on sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services. All its operations stopped during the six months ended 31 December 2014. In the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2014, the results and cash flows of the business segment of sale of beauty equipment are treated as discontinued operation.
During the six months ended 31 December 2014, the discontinued operation did not generate revenue nor make any profit or loss or cash flows.
12. LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share attributable to owners of the Company is based on the following data:
| Loss Loss for the year/period attributable to owners of the Company Number of ordinary shares Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of basic and diluted loss per share |
01.01.2015 to 31.12.2015 HK$’000 (42,086) 01.01.2015 to 31.12.2015 ’000 126,789 |

|---|---|---|
For the year ended 31 December 2015, the computation of diluted loss per share does not assume the conversion of the Company’s outstanding preferred shares since their exercise would result in a decrease in loss per share.

The acquisition did not proceed and the Group has entered into various deed of termination and deeds of settlement with Mr. Shum and a deed of guarantee with Dutfield International Group Company Limited (“ Dutfield ”) in relation to the repayment of the refundable deposit. As Mr. Shum defaulted in the full repayment of the refundable deposit and the accrued contractual interest despite repeated demands and requests, the Company had obtained a judgement against Mr. Shum pursuant to which it was adjudged, inter alia, that Mr. Shum shall pay to the Company the sum of HK$39,127,500 (being the amount of the outstanding and unpaid refundable deposit) together with contractual interest at the rate of 30% per annum from 1 May 2013 to 6 September 2013 and thereafter at judgement rate pursuant to s.48 of the High Court Ordinance until payment.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW
The Group is principally engaged in the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services (collectively, the “ Beauty Business ”), as well as the provision of in-flight WLAN and WIFI engineering and service business (the “ WIFI Business ” or “ New Business ”). For the sale of beauty products, the Group offers a variety of beauty products under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté”, and a variety of medical skincare products, including the brand “Activa”. For the provision of therapy services, the Group operates a medical skincare centre under the trade name “COLLAGEN+” at Soundwill Plaza in Causeway Bay. For the New Business, the Group plans to source and enter into contracts with airline companies to provide them with in-flight WLAN and WIFI engineering and services, including the provision of WLAN and WIFI equipment and technical support for installation. Depending on the mode of cooperation with the airline companies, the Group may or may not charge the airline companies for the provision of WLAN or WIFI equipment to them but may earn/share any income from the use of the WLAN or WIFI systems for advertising or shopping on the airplanes. In addition to the PRC, the Group has also appointed a sales presentative in Singapore which will target airline companies in South-East Asia.
For the year under review, the New Business was still at its start-up stage. The Group has been developing its own software platform and applying for certifications and approvals which are necessary for the Group to engage in inflight WLAN and WIFI communication equipment design and manufacturing business in the PRC. The Group entered into a cooperation agreement (the “ Cooperation Agreement ”) with an airline company in the PRC on 3 December 2015, pursuant to which the Group has agreed to provide and install inflight WLAN and WIFI connection equipment in an agreed number of the airline company’s aircraft in return for sharing certain income generated from the use of the in-flight WLAN and WIFI connection equipment by passengers with a guaranteed minimum payment to the airline company. As the Group is still in the process of installing inflight WIFI and WLAN equipment on the contracted aircraft, a revenue of HK$0.8 million and a gross loss of HK$13.8 million have been recognised for the financial year ended 31 December 2015. On 28 January 2016, the Central of Southern Regional Administration of Civil Aviation Administration of China (the “ CAAC ”) granted the Parts Manufacturers Approval for in-flight WLAN equipment to Donica Connectivity Technology Co. Ltd., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Group will continue to develop the New Business in 2016.
During the year under review, as the growth of the number of Mainland visitors to Hong Kong declined during the year under review and their spending power has been adversely affecting the whole retail sector in Hong Kong since 2014, the performance of the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” was not satisfactory.
In response to the adverse market conditions, the Group had implemented the following measures for its operations under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” during the year under review, including (a) to transit the existing direct selling model of beauty products under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” to a high volume but low cost wholesale model; (b) to cease the provision of facial sahos,
— 25 —
body treatments and wellness massages services under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” at the beauty centre at Lyndhurst Terrace in Central in order to reduce the Group’s headcount; (c) to maintain the beauty centre at Lyndhurst Terrace as the Group’s sales office for “Evidens de Beauté” beauty products; and (d) to early terminate the tenancy agreement of the Group’s sales office in Kwun Tong by the end of November 2015 and relocate the staff of the Kwun Tong sales office to the beauty centre at Lyndhurst Terrace in order to reduce the Group’s fixed overheads. Since the Group is not optimistic on the performance of the retail market in Hong Kong in 2016, the Board has no intention to renew the tenancy agreement of the beauty centre at Lyndhust Terrace upon its expiration on 31 March 2016.
For the year under review, the performance of the Beauty Business as a whole has met the expectation of the Board. The Beauty Business contributed approximately HK$46.2 million to the total turnover of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015, of which approximately HK$40.8 million and HK$5.4 million were derived from the provision of therapy services and sale of beauty products respectively. The Beauty Business contributed approximately HK$13.0 million gross profit to the Group, with a positive gross margin of 28.1%.

The installation is expected to be completed in June 2016.

Such expenses mainly comprises staff costs of HK$2.5 million, overseas travelling expenses of HK$1.2 million and other administration expenses of HK$2.8 million. In addition, the Group also incurred legal and professional expenses amounted to HK$7.8 million for the purposes of, among others, (i) the issue of a total of 375,000,000 shares of the Company (the “ Subscription Shares ”), comprising 345,000,000 ordinary shares (the “ Ordinary Subscription Shares ”) and 30,000,000 preferred shares of the Company (the “ Preferred Shares ”), at an issue price of HK$0.4 per Subscription Share pursuant to the subscription agreement (the “ Subscription Agreement ”) entered into among the Company and the six subscribers, namely Xing Hang Limited, Goldenland Mining & Investment Limited, Silver Empire Holding Limited, Truly Elite Limited, High Aim Global Limited and First Bonus International Limited (collectively, the “ Subscribers ”), on 17 February 2015 (the “ Subscription ”) and (ii) the legal proceedings disclosed in the paragraph headed “Litigation” in this announcement.
The finance costs for the year ended 31 December 2015 of approximately HK$1.0 million (for the six months ended 31 December 2014: approximately HK$1.2 million) was mainly attributed to (i) the loan interest expenses paid to Koffman Investment Limited (“ KIL ”) of approximately HK$0.1 million; (ii) the loan interest expenses paid to Pure Profit Holdings Limited (“ Pure Profit ”) of approximately HK$0.4 million; and (iii) the imputed interest arisen from the issuance of promissory note of approximately HK$0.4 million during the period under review.

With the increasing number of flights and the internet users in the PRC, the Company believes that there will be considerable demand of in-flight WIFI service.
— 31 —
WIFI connection and telecommunication have become a trend in ground-air connectivity for European and American airlines in recent years. The European Union has already approved in-flight cell phone calls, SMS, and email services in its airspace. Various countries are paying increasing attention to this market. It is reported that nearly all of the major American airlines now provide internet access for ground-air connectivity, with service charges ranging from USD5.00 to USD9.00 per hour.
In view of the increasingly fierce global competition of the civil aviation market, the Company understands that Chinese airline companies are also considering providing internet access services similar to what their foreign counterparts are currently doing. To date, certain state-owned Chinese airlines have started in-flight WIFI service trials, indicating that the Chinese civil aviation industry has realized the demand for ground-air connectivity and the inconvenience that information isolation during flights may bring.
Compared to the booming of in-flight WIFI service abroad, such services in the PRC are still at the start-up stage, and have not yet been put into mass commercial use. The CAAC, which is the Chinese civil aviation authority, forecast that the number of air travelers in the PRC would reach approximately 430 million in 2015, representing a 10.10% year-on-year increase.
According to a statistical report issued by China Internet Network Information Center (being an organization set up by the Computer Network Information Center of Chinese Academy of Sciences pursuant to a decision of the Office of the Information Work Leading Group of the State Council of the PRC responsible for (i) the operation and administration of the internet in the PRC; (ii) security of the internet in the PRC; (iii) research on internet development and technology; (iv) provision of consultancy services; and (v) promotion of global cooperation and exchange of internet technology) in July 2014, by the end of June 2014, the PRC had 632 million internet users, representing an increase of 14.42 million as compared with that at the end of 2013. The internet penetration rate was 46.9%, representing a growth of 1.1% as compared with that at the end of 2013. In the first half of 2014, internet users who surfed the internet via mobile phones rose from 81.0% to 83.4% during such period.
As the majority of the PRC’s air passengers are now frequent flyers, the Company believes that in-flight WIFI services will become an increasingly influential factor for many passengers when making flight purchase decisions and therefore it is expected that Chinese airline companies will allocate more resources to introduce new innovative services, such as in-flight shopping, through inflight WIFI service that enhance passengers’ travel experience. As such, the Company believes that there are good opportunities to develop business relating to the New Business in the PRC which will facilitate the provision of inflight WLAN or WIFI connections.

PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF THE COMPANY’S LISTED SECURITIES
During the year under review, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company’s listed securities.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Company has established an audit committee (the “ Audit Committee ”) with written terms of reference in compliance with Rules 5.28 and 5.29 of the GEM Listing Rules. As at the date of this announcement, the Audit Committee comprises three independent non-executive directors of the Company, namely Mr. Chu Kin Wang, Peleus (chairman), Mr. Tam B Ray, Billy and Mr. Tse Joseph. The Audit Committee has reviewed the Group’s audited consolidated final results for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 and provided advice and comments thereon.
CODE ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
The Stock Exchange issued the Corporate Governance Code (the “ CG Code ”) contained in Appendix 15 of the GEM Listing Rules which sets out the principles and the code provisions which listed issuers are expected to apply and comply.
Save as disclosed below, during the year under review and up to the date of this announcement, the Company has applied the principles as set out in the CG Code that are considered to be relevant to the Company and has complied with most of the code provisions of the CG Code:
— 37 —
Role of chairman and chief executive officer
Code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code stipulates that the roles of the chairman and chief executive officer should be separated and should not be performed by the same individual.
Due to practical necessity of the Group’s corporate operating structure, the roles of the chairman and the chief executive officer are both performed by Mr. Cai Zhaoyang, who is overseeing the operation and management of the Group. The Board believes that this structure will not impair the balance of power and authority between the Board and the management of the Company.
The Company is looking for a suitable candidate to act as the chief executive officer in order to comply with the CG Code.
Insurance for potential legal actions against the directors
Pursuant to code provision A.1.8 of the CG Code, the Company should arrange appropriate insurance to cover potential legal actions against its directors. Up to the date of this announcement, the Company is still arranging for appropriate liability insurance for the directors for indemnifying their liabilities arising from corporate activities.
Policy concerning diversity of Board members
Code provision A.5.6 of the CG Code stipulates that there should be a policy concerning the diversity of Board members. However, the Company does not consider that it is necessary to have a policy concerning diversity of Board members. Board appointments are based on merit, in the context of the skills, experience and expertise that the selected candidates will bring to the Board. While the Company is committed to equality of opportunity in all aspects of its business and endeavours to ensure that its Board has the appropriate balance of skills, experience and diversity of perspectives, the Company does not consider that a formal Board diversity policy will provide measurable benefits to enhance the effectiveness of the Board.
Internal audit function
Pursuant to code provision C.2.5 of the CG Code, the Company is required to have an internal audit function. Although the Company does not have an internal audit function as required, the risk management and internal control systems are reviewed on an ongoing basis by the Board in order to make it practical and effective in providing reasonable assurance in relation to protection of material assets and identification of business risks. The Board is satisfied that, based on information furnished to it and on its own observations, the present risk management and internal control of the Group are satisfactory. The Group has implemented a practical and effective control system which includes a defined management structure with limits of authority, a sound cash management system and periodic review of the Group’s performance by the Audit Committee and the Board. The Board has conducted review of the effectiveness of the system of internal control and is of the view that
— 38 —
the risk management and internal control systems adopted for the year ended 31 December 2015 are sound and are effective to safeguard the interests of the shareholders’ investment and the Company’s assets.
Compositions of the nomination committee and remuneration committee
Pursuant to code provision A.5.1 of the CG Code, the Company should establish a nomination committee which is chaired by the chairman of the Board or an independent non-executive director and comprises a majority of independent non-executive directors. Following the appointment of Mr. Cai Zhaoyang as a member of the nomination committee (the “ Nomination Committee ”) of the Board on 23 November 2015, the Nomination Committee did not comprise a majority of independent non-executive directors as required under code provision A.5.1 of the CG Code. Since 11 March 2016, Mr. Cai Zhaoyang has ceased to be a member of the Nomination Committee and the requirements under code provision A.5.1 of the CG Code have been fulfilled.
Following the appointment of Mr. Cai Zhaoyang as a member of the remuneration committee (the “ Remuneration Committee ”) of the Board on 23 November 2015, the Remuneration Committee did not comprise a majority of independent non-executive directors as required under Rule 5.34 of the GEM Listing Rules. Since 11 March 2016, Mr. Cai Zhaoyang has ceased to be a member of the Remuneration Committee and the requirements under Rule 5.34 of the GEM Listing Rules have been fulfilled.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS
The Company has adopted its own codes of conduct regarding directors’ and relevant employees’ securities transactions, namely “Code for Securities Transactions by Directors” and “Code for Securities Transactions by Relevant Employees”, both of which apply to all directors and relevant employees of the Company in terms no less exacting than the required standard of dealings set out in Rules 5.48 to 5.67 of the GEM Listing Rules.
Having made specific enquiry with each of the directors of the Company, all directors have confirmed that they have complied with such code and the required standard of dealings on directors’ securities transactions during the year ended 31 December 2015.
