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 engineering products and related services (the “ Engineering 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 located at Soundwill Plaza in Causeway Bay.

For the engineering products, the Group offers in-flight WLAN and WIFI systems, and robotic products. For the provision of engineering related services, the Group provides equipment installation, support and maintenance services for WLAN and WIFI systems as well as robotics and automation systems.

In December 2016, the Group has entered into a cooperative agreement with a local partner in the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”) to form a joint venture to acquire the entire shareholding of Shenzhen Anzer Intelligent Engineering Co., Ltd. (“ Anzer ”) for a cash consideration of RMB500,000. Anzer is a company established in Shenzhen, the PRC and possesses its own facilities qualified for manufacturing of robotic products. The acquisition of Anzer was completed in February 2017 and signifies the Group’s preliminary success with deployment in the two main platforms, namely overseas research and development platform as well as domestic industry transformation and production platform. The Group, having obtained patents and setting industry standards by overseas research and development platform, has strengthened its competitive advantage in robotic technology and has expanded its business scope. Through its domestic industry platform, the Group’s abilities of commercialisation of technology and potential for market development have also been strengthened.

Following the acquisition of Anzer, in addition to the development of our own technology and product advantages, the Group has taken an active role in exploring specialized technological cooperation with other organisations whereas a strategic cooperation framework agreement was entered into with the Chinese Academy of Medical Science Biomedical Engineering Research Institute in late February 2017. On 19 April 2017, the Group also entered into a strategic joint development framework agreement with 蘇州景昱醫療器械有限公司 (Suzhou Jingyu Medical Device Co. Ltd). Pursuant to the framework agreement, the parties agreed to jointly research and develop surgery assisting robots for the implantation of deep brain stimulation system with nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus.

On 28 July 2017, the Company held a global robotics conference in Shenzhen to launch more than ten new products for police use, commercial use and civilian use. Those products have received wide positive feedback from the participants of the conference. However, the production and sales of robotic products did not commence as scheduled in the third quarter of 2017 due to the delayed

— 9 —

delivery of robotic components from certain suppliers. During the financial period, the Group has been exploring business opportunities for its in-flight WLAN and WIFI systems. However, the Directors do not expect any significant growth in its in-flight WLAN and WIFI system products and services.

Financial review

During the period under review, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$58.3 million, representing an increase of approximately 60.1% as compared with the corresponding period in 2016, of which approximately HK$3.2 million (2016: approximately HK$3.2 million), approximately HK$32.5 million (2016: approximately HK$33.2 million) and approximately HK$22.6 million (2016: HK$Nil) were generated from the sales of beauty products, provision of therapy services and sales of robotic products respectively.

The negative gross margin was approximately 6.91% (2016: negative gross margin of approximately 84.99%). There is no significant change in the gross margin of the Beauty Business. The improvement in gross margin was mainly attributable to a decrease in gross loss from the Engineering Business as the Engineering Business only incurred a gross loss of HK$15.6 million for the nine months period ended 30 September 2017 compared with a gross loss of HK$41.8 million incurred for the nine months period ended 30 September 2016.

Other income of approximately HK$3.9 million (2016: approximately HK$162,000) was mainly contributed by the recovery of legal expense incurred for lawsuits against Mr. Shum Yeung amounted to HK$1.5 million and gain on disposal of equipment amounted to approximately HK$1.8 million.

Other losses of approximately HK$1.5 million were due to change in fair value of financial assets held for trading as the Group has invested in equity securities listed on the Stock Exchange.

The selling and distribution costs were approximately HK$5.6 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2017 (2016: approximately HK$2.8 million), representing an increase of approximately 100% over the corresponding period in 2016. Such increase was mainly attributable to the advertising and promotion expenses of approximately HK$2.8 million and approximately HK$2.8 million incurred by the Beauty Business and the Engineering Business respectively during the period under review.

The administrative expenses were approximately HK$58.8 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2017 (2016: approximately HK$27.1 million), representing an increase of approximately 117% over the last corresponding period. Such increase was mainly attributable to (i) amortization of employee share option expense of approximately HK$10.2 million; (ii) increase in director’s remuneration of approximately HK$6.2 million; (iii) increase in rental expense of approximately HK$6.6 million; and (iv) increase in staff cost of approximately HK$8.7 million.

— 10 —

The consolidated loss attributable to owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$69.7 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2017 (2016: approximately HK$63.3 million). The improvement in consolidated loss was mainly attributable to the decrease in gross loss incurred by the Engineering Business.

MATERIAL ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES, ASSOCIATES AND AFFILIATED COMPANIES

There was no material acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries associates and affiliated companies during the nine months ended 30 September 2017.

FUTURE 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

China’s robotics research and development started in the 1970s whereas the robotics market reached RMB14 billion in 2016 with a 56% year-on-year growth in annual sales. Lately, as announced by President Xi Jinping during his important speech at the 19th Communist Party of China National Congress, initiatives including aiming at technological fronts, ramping up disruptive technological innovations, and providing a reinforced underpinning for evolving into a nation with superb scientific and technological power, a digitalized China, and a smart society are to be taken. To facilitate the transition of technological results, the upcoming few years represent a pivotal moment for the tremendous development of robotics in the PRC, particularly the market of robotics which specialises in special services. The rapid popularization of the Internet, the emerging and flourishing artificial intelligence, and the speedy development of information technologies all present new opportunities for the high-speed development of robotics in the PRC. The robotics market would grow by leaps and bounds in a straight-line trajectory, and the whole robotics market is expected to reach approximately RMB20 billion in 2017. Looking ahead, the Group believes there will be enormous potential for market development for the robotics market in the PRC. On the back of artificial intelligence techniques, the next five years would witness the development of a smart city in full swing. The application of intelligent robotics for public services and the modes of services would grow relentlessly. As forecasted by the Report on the Development of the Robotics Industry in China, the global market of robotics would reach USD6.9 billion in the next five years.

In the future, the Group will continue to focus on three robotic production lines: police use, commercial use and civilian use, in accordance with market conditions and the status of product development. The Group will also incorporate its experience in diversified robotic technology so as to commit itself to producing customised robots and providing total mechatronic solutions for customers across various industries. Meanwhile, in view of the unstable supplies from suppliers during the third quarter, the Group will improve its communication with our suppliers, expand procurement channels and actively examine replacement components in the future to reduce uncertainties in supply chain.

In October 2017, the fifth amendment to the “Operation Certification Rules for Civil Aviation Transportation Carriers with Large Airplanes” promulgated by the Civil Aviation Administration of China officially came into effect, which relaxed the rules on using portable electronic devices on flights and delegated the authority on access to WIFI services to each civil airline. The Board is of the view that such delegation implies that each civil airline is to bear corresponding safety responsibilities on their own. It is estimated that the speed of launching such service may vary among civil airlines and some small and medium-sized civil airlines may not offer WIFI services at present. Therefore, the Board is prudent and concerned about the prospect of in-flight WIFI services.

The Directors did not expect any significant change in the Group’s Beauty Business.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Group did not have significant contingent liability as at 30 September 2017.

EVENTS AFTER REPORTING PERIOD

Change of company name

Subsequent to the passing of a special resolution approving the change of Company name by the shareholders of the Company at the special general meeting of the Company held on 7 September 2017, the certificate of incorporation on change name and a certificate of secondary name were issued by the Registrar of Company in Bermuda on 4 October 2017, certifying the change of the English name of the Company from “SkyNet Group Limited” to “SuperRobotics Limited” and the adoption of “ 超人智能有限公司 ” as the secondary name of the Company having both become effective on 12 September 2017.

The website of the Company for the publication of corporate information was changed from http:// www.skynetgruop.com.hk to http://www.superrobotics.com.hk on 30 October 2017.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Board has established an audit committee (the “ Audit Committee ”) with written terms of reference in compliance with Rules 5.28 to 5.29 of the GEM Listing Rules. As at the date of this announcement, the Audit Committee comprises three independent non-executive Directors, namely, Mr. Chu Kin Wang, Peleus (chairman), Mr. Tam B Ray, Billy and Mr. Tse Joseph.

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 period 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:

Chairman and Chief Executive

Code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code stipulates that the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be separate 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.

By Order of the Board

SuperRobotics Limited
