INTERIM RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
This announcement, 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. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquires, 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.

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. As at 31 December 2014, the aggregate amount of the outstanding and unpaid refundable deposit and the accrued interest was approximately HK$46,500,000. Since (i) Mr. Shum failed to settle the judgement debt and the accrued interest and commenced various legal actions to prevent the Company from recovering the judgement debt and the accrued interest including a fresh legal action as announced by the Company in its announcement dated 23 January 2015; (ii) it was unclear whether and when the Company would be able to receive the judgement debt and the accrued interest in full from selling (1) the charged shares in Mr. Shum’s companies; and (2) the charged properties as those properties were held by Mr. Shum and another individual as joint tenants and subject to mortgages given that the Company did not have the information of the financial status of Mr. Shum and his companies, the amount of Mr. Shum’s interest in the charged properties and the outstanding loan amounts under the mortgages; and (iii) the ability of Dutfield to fulfil its obligations under the guarantee depended on the outcome of the legal proceedings for, inter alia, its claim for the sum of HK$141,360,000 under a loan agreement but Dutfield failed to obtain a summary judgement against the debtor and the outcome of the legal proceedings was uncertain, the Company decided to recognise an impairment on the judgement debt and the accrued interest in the aggregate amount of approximately HK$46,500,000. For further details, please refer to the Company’s announcements and the subsection headed “Litigation” in the section headed “Management Discussion and Analysis” of the annual report dated 18 September 2014 for the year ended 30 June 2014 of the Company.

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 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 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 the 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. For the period under review, the Group has completed the installation of in-flight WLAN and WIFI equipment on the contracted aircrafts and 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 connection equipment design and manufacturing business in the PRC. As such, a gross loss of HK$33.8 million have been recognised for provision of the WIFI Business for the six months ended 30 June 2016.
Despite facing an 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 to sales as 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 incurred from the operation under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” has been improved by 86.87% for the six months ended 30 June 2016.

Financial review
During the period under review, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$24.7 million, representing an increase of approximately 19.3% as compared with the corresponding period in 2015, of which approximately HK$2.1 million (2015: approximately HK$2.1 million) and approximately HK$22.6 million (2015: approximately HK$18.6 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$23.1 million (2015: approximately HK$19.0 million) to the turnover of the Group, representing approximately 93.5% of the total turnover, of which approximately HK$0.6 million (2015: approximately HK$0.8 million) and HK$22.5 million (2015: approximately HK$18.2 million) were generated from the sales of beauty products and provision of therapy services respectively. The revenue generated from the sales of beauty products and provision of therapy services under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” were approximately HK$1.5 million (2015: approximately HK$1.3 million) and approximately HK$0.1 million (2015: approximately HK$0.4 million) respectively.

China Honest contributed gross profit of approximately HK$8.1 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 gross loss of HK$27.9 million incurred by the WIFI Business as the Group is still in the process of developing its own software platform.

The administrative expenses was approximately HK$18.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2016 (2015: approximately HK$11.2 million), representing an increase of 64.3% over the last corresponding period. Such increase was mainly attributed to (i) increase in legal and professional fee of approximately HK$3.2 million; (ii) increase in staff costs of approximately HK$0.5 million due to increase in number of staff relating to the WIFI Business; (iii) increase in travelling expense of approximately HK$1.3 million from the WIFI Business; and (iv) increase in written off plant and equipment of approximately HK$1.7 million.

— 25 —
MATERIAL ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES, ASSOCIATES AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES

FURTURE PLAN FOR MATERIAL INVESTMENTS AND CAPITAL ASSETS
Save as disclosed in this announcement, the Group does not have any concrete plan for material investments or capital assets for the coming year.
OUTLOOK
The in-flight WIFI service business in the PRC are still at the start-up stage. State-owned Chinese airlines have started in-flight WIFI service trials but such in-flight WIFI services have not yet been put into mass commercial use. 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. 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.
As the majority of the PRC’s air passengers are now frequent flyers, the Company believes that inflight 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 in-flight WIFI services that enhance passengers’ travel experience. As such, the Company believes that there are good opportunities to develop business relating to the WIFI Business in the PRC which will facilitate the provision of in-flight WLAN or WIFI connections.
Most analysts have projected that the economy in both the PRC and Hong Kong in the coming year would show an unsteady and slowdown growth and that the outlook is gloomy. The Directors do not expect any significant growth in the Group’s sales of beauty products and provision of therapy services in 2016. In addition, the management will cautiously monitor the market, adopt appropriate measures and business strategies in response to changing market conditions.
