THIRD QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2016
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.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited take no responsibility for the contents of this report, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this report.
This report, for which the directors (the “ Directors ” and each, a “ Director ”) of SkyNet Group Limited (the “ Company ”, together with its subsidiaries, the “ Group ”) collectively and individually accept responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM (the “ GEM Listing Rules ”) for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company.

9. LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of the basic loss per share for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 is based on the loss for the period of approximately HK$63,281,000 (2015: loss of approximately HK$18,989,000) and on the weighted average of 419,803,000 shares in issue during the nine months ended 30 September 2016 (2015: 74,803,000 shares).
For the nine months ended 30 September 2016, 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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Business Review
The Group is principally engaged in the sales 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 services (the “ WIFI Business ”). For the sales 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, Hong Kong. For the WIFI Business, the Group has planned to source and enters 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 People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”), the Group has also appointed a sales representative in Singapore which will target airline companies in South-East Asia.
The Group entered into a cooperation agreement (the “2015 Cooperation Agreement”) with an airline company (the “ Airline ”) on 3 December 2015, pursuant to which the Group has agreed to provide and install in-flight WLAN and WIFI connection equipment in an agreed number of the Airline’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. As the Group is still in the process of developing its own software platform and applying for certifications and approvals which are necessary for the Group to engage in in-flight WLAN and WIFI communication equipment design and manufacturing business in the PRC, a gross loss of HK$41.8 million have been recognised for the nine months ended 30 September 2016. On 28 January 2016, the Central of Southern Regional Administration of the 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.
Despite facing adverse macro-economic conditions in Hong Kong, the performance of the Beauty Business as a whole has met the expectation of the Board. During the period under review, the Group continued to provide deep retail discounts and focused on high volume but low cost wholesales for the beauty products under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté”. Furthermore, the Group adhered to the measure of reducing fixed overheads and did not renew the tenancy agreement of the beauty centre at Lyndhust Terrace upon its expiration on 31 March 2016. Consequently, comparing with the corresponding period in 2015, the gross loss and net loss incurred from the operation under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” has been reduced by 87.3% and 26.4% respectively for the nine months ended 30 September 2016.

Financial Review
During the period under review, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$36.4 million, representing an increase of approximately 12.6% as compared with the corresponding period in 2015, of which approximately HK$3.2 million (2015: approximately HK$3.2 million) and approximately HK$33.2 million (2015: approximately HK$29.2 million) were generated from the sales of beauty products and provision of therapy services respectively. China Honest Enterprises Limited (“ China Honest ”), a 51% owned subsidiary of the Company, was the major revenue contributor of the Group.
During the period under review, China Honest contributed approximately HK$34.5 million (2015: approximately HK$29.7 million) to the turnover of the Group, representing approximately 94.8% of the total turnover, of which approximately HK$1.3 million (2015: approximately HK$1.1 million) and HK$33.2 million (2015: approximately HK$28.6 million) were generated from the sales of beauty products and provision of therapy services respectively. The revenue generated from the sales of beauty products under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” were approximately HK$1.9 million (2015: approximately HK$2.1 million) and the Group did not provide any therapy services under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” during the nine months ended 30 September 2016 (2015: approximately HK$0.6 million).
The negative gross margin was approximately 85.0% (2015: positive gross margin of approximately 27.0%). China Honest contributed gross profit of approximately HK$10.9 million to the Group, while the operations under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” recorded a gross loss of approximately HK$0.1 million. The negative gross margin is mainly due to the cost of sales of approximately HK$41.8 million incurred by the WIFI Business as the Group is still in the process of developing its own software platform.
Other income of approximately HK$162,000 (2015: approximately HK$226,000) was mainly contributed by the interest income on bank deposits and other sundry income.
Other losses related to change in fair value of assets held for trading as the Group has invested in share securities trading on the Stock Exchange during the third quarter of the year.
The selling and distribution costs was approximately HK$2.8 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 (2015: approximately HK$1.5 million), representing an increase of 86.7% over that of the corresponding period in 2015. Such increase was mainly attributed to the advertising and promotion expenses of approximately HK$0.3 million and approximately HK$1.0 million incurred by the Beauty Business and the WIFI Business respectively during the period under review.
The administrative expenses was approximately HK$27.1 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 (2015: approximately HK$23.7 million), representing an increase of 14.3% over that of the corresponding period in 2015. Such increase was mainly attributed to (i) increase in legal and professional fee of approximately HK$2.9 million; (ii) increase in staff recruitment cost
— 10 —
of approximately HK$0.9 million; and (iii) increase in the value of fixed assets written off of approximately HK$1.7 million. However, the increment is offset by (i) decrease in staff cost and director’s remuneration of approximately HK$1.5 million; and (ii) decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately HK$0.6 million.
The finance costs for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 of approximately HK$0.3 million (2015: approximately HK$0.7 million) was mainly attributed to (i) the loan interest expenses paid to Koffman Investment Limited of approximately HK$50,000; (ii) the loan interest expenses paid to Pure Profit Holdings Limited of approximately HK$80,000; and (iii) the finance lease interest of approximately HK$0.2 million.
The consolidated loss attributable to owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$63.3 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 (2015: approximately HK$19.0 million). Such loss was mainly attributed to the loss incurred by the WIFI Business.
OUTLOOK
The Directors do not expect any significant growth in the Group’s Beauty Business in 2016. As disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 7 October 2015 (the “ Circular ”) in relation to, among other things, the Subscription (as defined in the Circular), the Directors believed that the WIFI Business would provide the Group with a good opportunity to improve its financial position and liquidity and the development of the WIFI Business in a segment different from the then existing business of the Group would diversify and broaden its revenue sources and improve its profitability in the long run.
With the increasing number of flights and internet users in the PRC, the Company believes that there will be a considerable demand of in-flight WIFI services. In addition, WIFI connection and telecommunication have become a trend in ground-air connectivity for European and American airlines in recent years, and the European Union has already approved in-flight cell phone calls, SMS, and email services in its airspace. With regard to the growth in the air travel industry, based on the statistics issued by the CAAC, there were approximately 232 million passengers having chosen to travel by air during the first half of 2016, representing a 10.8% increase as compared with the same period in 2015.
In view of the increasingly fierce global competition of the civil aviation market, the Company understands that Chinese airline companies are also considering to provide internet access services as 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 realised the demand for ground-air connectivity and the inconvenience that information isolation during flights may bring. The Company has noted that some airline companies have announced their future plans for the provision of in-flight WIFI services to their passengers, especially passengers travelling on international flights. Most of the in-flight WIFI services provided by airline companies are free of charge, which would bring challenges to third party service operators, such as the Company, to generate revenue from value added service as well as commercial advertisement.
— 11 —
However, 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 choosing airlines and therefore it is expected that Chinese airline companies will allocate more resources to introduce innovative services, such as in-flight shopping, through in-flight WIFI services that enhance passengers’ travel experience. As such, the Company believes that there are good opportunities to develop the Group’s WIFI Business in the PRC which will facilitate the provision of in-flight WLAN and WIFI connections.
In addition, in order to improve the profitability and preserve of value of the Group over the longer term, the Group will look for suitable investment opportunities characterized by stable cash inflows and steady revenue stream.
CONTINGENT LIABILITY
On 23 January 2015, the Company received a writ of summons in the High Court Action No. 200 of 2015 issued by Mr. Shum Yeung (“ Mr. Shum ”) as the plaintiff against the Company as the defendant for the following claims:

relating to the Summary Judgement; (iv) an order for payment of all sums found due to Mr. Shum together with interest thereon; and (v) costs. On 14 May 2015, the Company filed a defence to refute the statement of claim in that action on the basis, among others, that (i) Mr. Shum was bound by the Summary Judgement; and (ii) the Company denied the allegations raised against the Company by Mr. Shum in the statement of claim. Furthermore, on 10 December 2015, the Company filed an inter parties summons for an application to strike out the writ of Summons and statement of claim filed by Mr. Shum in that action. A substantive hearing of such application was held on 8 June 2016 (the “ Hearing ”). During the Hearing, the court allowed the Company’s application and struck out Mr. Shum’s action with an order for costs and a certificate for two counsel. The court further ordered that the amount of HK$47,767,709.60, being the outstanding indebtedness (inclusive of interest) up to 8 June 2015 under the Summary Judgment paid into court by Mr. Shum on 5 November 2015, be paid out to the Company’s solicitors (the “ 8 June 2016 Order ”).
On 16 June 2016, the Company received a notice of appeal filed by Mr. Shum as appellant in the Court of Appeal of the High Court of Hong Kong (the “ Court of Appeal ”) (on appeal from High Court Action No. 200 of 2015), pursuant to which Mr. Shum requested: (i) to appeal against the 8 June 2016 Order; (ii) the Court of Appeal to order that the 8 June 2016 Order be set aside and that the Company’s solicitors pay back the amount of HK$47,767,709.60 into court; and (iii) the Court of Appeal to order that the Company pay Mr. Shum the costs of the appeal.

On 7 November 2016, the Company announced that the Group has received a sum of approximately HK$3.2 million from Mr. Shum’s solicitors to settle the outstanding interest under the Summary Judgment dated 6 September 2013.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
On 24 October 2016, the Board announced that Shenzhen Donica Networking Technology Co. Ltd. (“ Shenzhen Donica ”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into another cooperation agreement (the “ 2016 Cooperation Agreement ”) with the Airline, pursuant to which the 2015 Cooperation Agreement and all other relevant arrangements contemplated thereunder have been superseded by the 2016 Cooperation Agreement. The arrangements under the 2016 Cooperation Agreement are more favourable to Shenzhen Donica as compared to those under the 2015 Cooperation Agreement. Pursuant to the 2016 Cooperation Agreement, the annual guaranteed minimum payment from Shenzhen Donica to the Airline has been substantially reduced and Shenzhen Donica is entitled to a higher profit sharing ratio for revenue generated by the in-flight WLAN and
— 13 —
