INTERIM REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

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 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. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquires, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this report 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 report misleading.

INTERIM RESULTS

The board of Directors (the “ Board ”) is pleased to present the unaudited condensed consolidated results of the Group for the three months and six months ended 30 June 2017 together with the comparative figures for the corresponding period in 2016 as follows:

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 service (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. Facing adverse macroeconomic conditions in Hong Kong, the Board does not expect any significant growth in the Beauty Business. For the engineering products, the Group offers 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. On 30 December 2016, the Group received a notice of termination from an airline company to terminate the cooperation agreement with the Group due to certain requirements stated in the cooperation agreement were not fulfilled. As announced on 23 January 2017, since the receipt of the mentioned notice, the Group had been communicating with the Airline for possible solution acceptable to both parties. Nevertheless no alternative solution was agreed. Hence the cooperation agreement was terminated. The Group will continue to explore other opportunities for its WLAN and WIFI systems and related services. The first batch of robotic products was proudly

— 17 —

delivered in last December. We are confident the first phase of mass production will start once the pilot phrase is completed. Furthermore, in December 2016, the Group entered into a cooperative agreement with a local partner in the PRC to acquire the entire shareholding of Shenzhen Anzer Intelligent Engineering Co., Ltd. (“ Anzer ”) at a cash consideration of RMB500,000. Anzer is a company established in Shenzhen, the PRC and possesses its own facility qualified for robotic production. The acquisition was completed in February 2017. The acquisition of Anzer signifies the Group’s preliminary success with deployment in the two main platforms, namely overseas research and development as well as domestic industry transformation and production. Professional expertise as a competitive advantage was strengthened and the business scope was expanded through patents and professional standards of the overseas research and development platform; the technology transfer ability and potential for market development were strengthened by virtue of the domestic industry platform. Following the acquisition of Anzer, in addition to the development of their own technology and product advantages, the Group has taken an active role in strengthening specialized technology cooperation with other platforms whereas a strategic cooperation framework agreement was entered into with the Institute of Biomedical Engineering Research of the Chinese Academy of Medical Science 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.

During the financial period, the Group has stepped up its marketing efforts to promote robotic products. Within six short months, other than existing clients from the previous year, the Group has managed to secure new customers during the second quarter of the year for its robotic products and successfully delivered the products to its new customers.

Financial review

During the period under review, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$46.9 million, representing an increase of approximately 90.0% as compared with the corresponding period in 2016, of which approximately HK$2.3 million (2016: approximately HK$2.1 million), approximately HK$22.4 million (2016: approximately HK$22.6 million) and approximately HK$22.2 million (2016: HK$Nil) were generated from the sale of beauty products, provision of therapy services and sale of robotic products respectively.

The positive gross margin was approximately 9.2% (2016: negative gross margin of approximately 80.2%). There was no significant change in the gross margin of the Beauty Business. The improvement in gross margin was due to the decrease in gross loss from the Engineering Business as the Engineering Business only incurred a gross loss of HK$5.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2017 compared with a gross loss of HK$27.9 million incurred for the six months ended 30 June 2016.

— 18 —

Other income of approximately HK$2.1 million (2016: approximately HK$59,000) was mainly contributed by the recovery of legal expense incurred for the lawsuits against Mr. Shum Yeung amounted to HK$1.5 million.

Other losses of HK$1.7 million is due to the change in fair value of investment in listed securities. There was no such investment in the corresponding period.

Selling and distribution costs were approximately HK$2.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2017 (2016: approximately HK$1.7 million), representing an increase of 64.7% over the corresponding period in 2016. Such increase was mainly attributed to the advertising and promotion expenses of approximately HK$2.0 million and approximately HK$0.8 million incurred by the Beauty Business and the Engineering Business respectively during the period under review.

Administrative expenses were approximately HK$35.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2017 (2016: approximately HK$18.4 million), representing an increase of 91% over the last corresponding period. Such increase was mainly attributed to the (i) amortisation of employee share option expense of HK$6.8 million; (ii) increase in director’s remuneration of HK$3.9 million; (iii) increase in rental expense of HK$2.8 million; and (iv) increase in staff cost of HK$3.3 million.

Consolidated loss attributable to owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$36.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2017 (2016: approximately HK$42.1 million). The decrease in consolidated loss was mainly due to the decrease in gross loss incurred by the Engineering Business.

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. The next few years would be a critical period of time for tremendous development in the Chinese robotics market, particularly the market of robotics which specialises in special services. The speed of robotics market growth would exceed 100% with 2017 witnessing approximately RMB20 billion in the whole robotics market, thereby creating tremendous potential for the Group’s market development in the future. In the future, the Group would start with positioning itself in the three lines of business: police use, commercial use and civilian use according to market resources and the status of development,

— 21 —

and develop products in the three lines accordingly to cater to our clients’ needs. Alongside placing emphasis on clients’ requirements and the need of practical applications, the Group would incorporate its professional background in diverse fields so as to commit itself to producing customised robots and mechatronic solutions for clients across various fields and industries. The Group has obtained the Parts Manufacturers Approval (the “ PMA ”) for inflight WLAN equipment and has completed the development of its own software platform and user interface for the use on the WLAN and WIFI system. However, phones and other electronic devices are prohibited on all flights of China’s airlines, which hinders the development of WIFI. On 8 August, 2016, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (“ CAAC ”) released a draft of Civil Aviation Law of the People’s Republic of China for public opinions, which still prohibits using of phones and other electronic devices on airplanes. Therefore, the Board is optimistic yet prudent about the prospect of in-flight Internet access.

The directors do not expect any significant growth in the Group’s Beauty Business.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

The Stock Exchange issued the Corporate Governance Code (the “ CG Code ”) contained in Appendix 15 to the GEM Listing Rules which sets out the principles and the code provisions which listed issuers are expected to apply and comply with.

Save as disclosed below, during the period under review and up to the date of this report, 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 the 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.
