ANNOUNCEMENT OF AUDITED ANNUAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, 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”) of Million Stars Holdings Limited (the “Company”) collectively and individually accept full 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, 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.

New and Amendments to HKFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current year
The Group has applied the following new and amendments to HKFRSs issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) for the first time in the current year:
| HKFRS 16 | Leases |
|---|---|
| HK(IFRIC)-Int 23 | Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments |
| Amendments to HKFRS 9 | Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation |
| Amendments to HKAS 19 | Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement |
| Amendments to HKAS 28 | Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures |
| Amendments to HKFRSs | Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2015–2017 Cycle |
Except as described below, the application of the new and amendments to HKFRSs in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial positions and performance for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.
HKFRS 16 Leases
The Group has applied HKFRS 16 for the first time in the current year. HKFRS 16 superseded HKAS 17 Leases (“HKAS 17”), and the related interpretations.
Definition of a lease
The Group has elected the practical expedient to apply HKFRS 16 to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease and not apply this standard to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease. Therefore, the Group has not reassessed contracts which already existed prior to the date of initial application.
For contracts entered into or modified on or after 1 July 2019, the Group applies the definition of a lease in accordance with the requirements set out in HKFRS 16 in assessing whether a contract contains a lease.
As a lessee
The Group has applied HKFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognised at the date of initial application, 1 July 2019.
As at 1 July 2019, the Group recognised additional lease liabilities and right-of-use assets at amounts equal to the related lease liabilities by applying HKFRS 16.C8(b)(ii) transition.
– 5 –
When applying the modified retrospective approach under HKFRS 16 at transition, the Group applied the following practical expedients to leases previously classified as operating leases under HKAS 17, on leaseby-lease basis, to the extent relevant to the respective lease contracts:
-
i. elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application;
-
ii. excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application;
-
iii. applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with a similar remaining terms for similar class of underlying assets in similar economic environment. Specifically, discount rate for certain leases of properties in PRC was determined on a portfolio basis; and
-
iv. used hindsight based on facts and circumstances as at date of initial application in determining the lease term for the Group’s leases with extension and termination options.
When recognising the lease liabilities for leases previously classified as operating leases, the Group has applied incremental borrowing rates of the relevant group entities at the date of initial application and the lease liabilities recognised as at 1 July 2019 are as follows.
| At 1 July 2019 | |
|---|---|
| HK$’000 | |
| Operating lease commitments disclosed as at 30 June 2019 | 6,279 |
| Add: Additions of operating lease commitments_(Note below)_ | 19,201 |
| 25,480 | |
| Lease liabilities discounted at relevant incremental borrowing rates | 22,449 |
| Less: Practical expedient — leases with lease term ending within 12 months from | |
| the date of initial application | (2,018) |
| Short-term leases | (351) |
| Lease liabilities as at 1 July 2019 | 20,080 |
| Analysed as: | |
| Current | 5,692 |
| Non-current | 14,388 |
| 20,080 |
Note: Pursuant to the Company’s announcement dated 10 October 2019, on 1 August 2018 and 19 June 2019, the Group entered into tenancy agreements with certain parties in respect of the leasing of the premises located in Shanghai and Beijing and the related operating lease commitments. Further, the Group also entered into tenancy agreements in respect of the leasing of the office premises located in Shenzhen and the office printing machine. The total additions of operating lease commitments are HK$19,201,000.

The following adjustments were made to the amounts recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at 1 July 2019. Line items that were not affected by the changes have not been included.

| Lease liabilities | – | 14,388 | 14,388 |
For the purpose of reporting cash flows from operating activities under indirect method for the year ended 30 June 2020, movements in working capital have been computed based on the opening consolidated statement of financial position at 1 July 2019 after taking into account of the adjustments to lease liabilities and right-of-use assets above.

EXTRACT FROM INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The “Disclaimer of Opinion” and “Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion” are extracted from independent auditors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2020 as follows:
Disclaimer of Opinion
We do not express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section of our report, we have not been able to form an audit opinion on these consolidated financial statements. In all other respects, in our opinion the consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
– 18 –
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
- (1) Acquisitions and impairment assessments of the Group’s intangible assets
During the year, the Group acquired certain intangible assets with an aggregate consideration of approximately HK$52,668,000, impairment loss recognised of HK$16,129,000 and amortisation charge of HK$3,028,000 which were charged to the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.
In accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 Impairment of Assets, the directors of the Company conducted impairment assessments of the Group’s intangible assets at the end of the reporting period. The impairment assessments have been performed with reference to a professional valuation performed by an independent professional valuer by comparing the carrying amounts and the recoverable amounts of the intangible assets which are based on certain key assumptions. Based on the valuation, the directors of the Company consider that the carrying amounts of certain intangible assets were higher than their recoverable amounts and thus, an impairment loss of HK$16,129,000 was recognised for the year ended 30 June 2020.
Under the circumstances of limited supporting information and documents on the Group’s intangible assets and information relating to the business and operation of the intangible assets are insufficient to ascertain the reasonableness of the assumptions made by the management and the feasibility of the business plan applied in the cash flow projections for the intangible assets, we are unable to satisfy ourselves about the reasonableness of the assumptions made by the management and the feasibility of the business plan applied in the cash flow projection for the impairment assessments of the intangible assets.
Because of the above scope limitation, there were no alternative audit procedures that we could perform to satisfy ourselves as to ascertain the carrying amounts of the Group’s intangible assets as at 30 June 2020, the impairment loss recognised and amortisation charge for the year then ended and the related disclosures thereof in the consolidated financial statements. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts were necessary.
– 19 –
- (2) Purchase price allocation, share of result, share of net assets and impairment assessment relating to the Group’s interests in Yidao Network (an associate of the Company)
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had interests in Yidao Network which was carried at HK$32,163,000. The Group’s share of the results and exchange differences, and the impairment loss recognised relating to Yidao Network amounted to HK$1,223,000, HK$925,000 and HK$23,856,000, respectively which are charged to the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.
Pursuant to the Hong Kong Accounting Standard 28 (2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, the management of the Company completed its purchase price allocation relating to the acquisition of Yidao Network during the year. The Group has appointed an independent professional valuer to perform a valuation of the fair value of the net assets of Yidao Network for purchase price allocations at its acquisition date. The fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities relating to Yidao Network has been determined on the basis of discounted cash flows calculation which was based on certain key assumptions. Other than those already recognised as assets and liabilities by Yidao Network prior to its acquisition date, the management considers that no other identifiable intangible assets, assets or liabilities were identified during the purchase price allocation process for Yidao Network. As a result, goodwill which amounted to approximately HK$35,250,000 attributable to Yidao Network was measured as the excess of capital contribution to Yidao Network transferred over its fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, and the amount forms part of carrying amount of the Group’s interests in Yidao Network.
Due to limited supporting information and documents relating to Yidao Network, we were unable to ascertain whether all the assets and liabilities relating to Yidao Network had been identified and we were also unable to satisfy ourselves about the reasonableness of the assumptions made by the management for Yidao Network during the purchase price allocation process in arriving at the goodwill arising from the acquisition of Yidao Network thereon.
As at 30 June 2020, the directors of the Company conducted an impairment assessment of the Group’s interests in Yidao Network with reference to a valuation based on value-inuse basis using discounted cash flow approach performed by an independent professional valuer by comparing the carrying amount and the recoverable amount of Yidao Network which was based on certain key assumptions. Based on the valuation, the directors of the Company consider that the carrying amount of Yidao Network exceeds its recoverable amount and thus, an impairment loss of HK$23,856,000 has been recognised for the year ended 30 June 2020.
– 20 –
Under the certain circumstances of limited supporting information and documents on certain balances of which the sets of management accounts and also the information relating to the business and operation of Yidao Network are insufficient to ascertain the reasonableness of the assumptions made by the management and the feasibility of the business plan applied in the cash flow projections for Yidao Network, we were unable to satisfy ourselves about the reasonableness of the assumptions made by the management and the feasibility of the business plan applied in the cash flow projection for the purchase price allocation and impairment assessment for Yidao Network.
We are not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on certain balances of which these sets of management accounts relating to Yidao Network were used for the purchase price allocation report, equity accounting and impairment assessment at the end of the reporting period. We were also unable to satisfy ourselves as to whether the carrying amount of the Group’s interests in Yidao Network (including goodwill) was free from material misstatements due to non-recognition of identifiable assets and liabilities relating to Yidao Network during the purchase price allocation process. Further, we were unable to satisfy ourselves as to whether the Group’s interests in Yidao Network and the related share of net assets and impairment loss recognised were fairly stated. Any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary in respect of the above would have a significant effect on the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and consequently, the Group’s financial performance for the year then ended, and the related disclosures thereof in the consolidated financial statements.
Because of the above scope limitation, there were no alternative audit procedures that we could perform to satisfy ourselves as to ascertain the carrying amount of the Group’s interests in Yidao Network as at its dates of acquisition and 30 June 2020, and the Group’s share of the result and exchange differences and also the impairment loss recognised relating to Yidao Network for the year ended 30 June 2020. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts were necessary.
DETAILS OF THE DISCLAIMER OF OPINION
As described in the Independent Auditor’s Report on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020, the auditors was unable to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements in respect of the (1) impairment assessments of the Group’s intangible assets and (2) purchase price allocation and impairment assessments relating to the Group’s interests in an associate.
(1) Impairment assessments of the Group’s intangible assets
During the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group acquired certain intangible assets which include mobile applications, concession rights for the licensed mobile game applications and software relating to its internet advertising agency business and operation with an aggregate consideration of approximately HK$52,668,000. These acquired intangible assets are mainly either for the Group’s existing internet advertising agency services business or for leasing to third parties.
– 21 –
At the end of the year, the management of the Company conducted an impairment assessment of the Group’s intangible assets with reference to a professional valuation performed by an independent professional valuer by comparing the carrying amounts and the recoverable amounts of the intangible assets which are based on certain key assumptions.
The recoverable amount of an intangible asset is the higher of the fair value less cost of disposal or its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal using asset-based approach and the value-in-use using discounted cash flow approach that involves use of cash flow projection, certain assumptions and estimations, for examples:
-
(i) the development and launch of the mobile applications and software will be completed in accordance with the business plan;
-
(ii) the marketing initiatives are effective and can achieve the expected results;
-
(iii) the expected lifespan of the mobile applications and software, etc.
These assumptions are subject to significant uncertainty. In addition, most of these mobile app and software have not been launched to the market and this implies limited historical track record to support the estimation of the cash flow projection. The auditors of the Company consider that the information relating to the business and operation of the intangible assets are insufficient to ascertain the reasonableness of the assumptions made by the management and the feasibility of the business plan applied in the cash flow projections for the intangible assets. As a result, the auditors disclaimed their opinion on the consolidated financial statements in respect of the impairment assessments of the Group’s intangible assets.
(2) Purchase price allocation and impairment assessments relating to the Group’s interests in an associate
During the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group acquired interest in an associate of RMB50,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$55,720,000). The Group has appointed an independent professional valuer to perform a valuation of the fair value of the net assets of the associate for purchase price allocations at its acquisition date in accordance with HKAS 28. Other than those already recognised as assets and liabilities prior to the acquisition date, the management considers that no other identifiable intangible assets, assets or liabilities was identified during the purchase price allocation process for the associate. As a result, goodwill which amounted to approximately HK$35,250,000 was measured as the excess of capital contribution to the associate over its fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, and the amount forms part of carrying amount of the Group’s interests in the associate.
– 22 –
As the Group has only significant influence and does not have control over the associate, the Group has encountered difficulty in requesting the associate to obtain all the relevant supporting information and documents relating to the associate. As a result, the auditors were unable to ascertain whether all the assets and liabilities relating to the associate had been identified and the auditors were also unable to satisfy themselves about the reasonableness of the assumptions used in the purchase price allocation process in arriving at the goodwill arising from the acquisition of the associate thereon.
In addition, the management of the Group conducted an impairment assessment of the Group’s interests in the associate with reference to a valuation based on value-in-use basis using discounted cash flow approach performed by an independent professional valuer. The preparation of the cash flow projection involves use of certain assumptions and estimations.
These assumptions are subject to significant uncertainty. Also, the Group has encountered difficulty in requesting the associate to provide all the relevant supporting information and documents relating to the associate. The auditors of the Company consider that the information relating to the business and operation of the associate are insufficient to ascertain the reasonableness of the assumptions made by the management and the feasibility of the business plan applied in the cash flow projections. As a result, the auditors disclaimed their opinion on the consolidated financial statements in respect of the impairment assessments of the Group’s investment in associate.
AUDIT COMMITTEE’S VIEW ON THE DISCLAIMER OF OPINION
In its discussion with the Auditors, the audit committee of the Company (the “Audit Committee”) generally understood the concerns of the Auditors and reasons for the Disclaimer of Opinion. The Audit Committee is of the view that the Directors shall formulate and execute action plan to address concerns of the Auditors and remove the disclaimer of opinion.
ACTION PLAN TO ADDRESS THE DISCLAIMER OF OPINION
The Company sets out below the actions and/or measures that have been or will be taken to remove the disclaimer of opinion:
(1) Impairment assessments of the Group’s intangible assets
— actively communicate with and update its Auditors the latest business development and operation of certain mobile apps and software;
— reduce the time required in completing the launching of the intangible assets and commercialize the products according to the business plan;
- formulate marketing plans and maximize the revenue generating capacity of the apps and software;
– 23 –
-
gather data and inputs throughout the operation of the intangible assets, which can potentially be used as support to the cash flow projection/valuation for assessing impairment of the intangible assets;
-
consider alternative approach in realizing the intangible assets, including but not limited to disposing the intangible assets, if applicable.
-
(2) Purchase price allocation and impairment assessments relating to the Group’s interests in an associate
-
actively communicate with and update its Auditors the latest business development and operation of its associate;
-
establish appropriate reporting protocols with the associate such that the associate would report its financial information and other relevant information and documents to the Group timely and properly;
-
closely monitor the operation of the associate to ensure the execution of the business plan;
-
consider alternative approach in realizing the investment in associate, including but not limited to disposing the investment in associate, if applicable.
REMOVAL OF THE DISCLAIMER OF OPINION
The Disclaimer of Opinion was mainly due to the inability to provide certain supporting information and documents in relation to the impairment assessments of the Group’s intangible assets and purchase price allocation and impairment assessments relating to the Group’s interests in an associate. The Group has discussed with the Auditors that if the Company would be able to execute the abovementioned action plan, modified opinion in relation to the current year may be removed for the year ending 30 June 2021.

Business Review
Internet Advertising Agency Services
The Group principally provides internet advertising services to different customers in mainland China. Affected by the macroeconomic environment deterioration of China in 2019 and the slowdown of games copyright issuance, internet advertising industry’s competition increases, industrial concentration improves and the profit space of small and medium-sized independent advertising operators is squeezed. In order to expand business scale, the Group adopts a series of promotion measures including the increase of rebates to attract and develop customers base. During the year, the Group’s sales scale increased approximately 60.4% as compared to that of the last year.
The Group provides the internet advertising agency services through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Beijing Dongrun Hudong Technology Company Limited (北京東潤互動科技有 限公司) and Horgos Dongrun Network Technology Company Limited (霍爾果斯東潤網絡科 技有限公司) (collectively, referred as “Dongrun Network”) in the PRC, respectively. Dongrun Network provides internet advertising agency services covering streaming advertising, search engine advertising, and applied marketing and navigation advertising. After nearly two years’ efforts, Dongrun Network has currently become the exclusive advertising agent of All Football 一 APP (懂球帝) gaming industry, core advertising agent of Cheetah Mobile, Yidian Zixun ( 點資訊) and WiFi Master Key and Jinri Toutiao* (今日頭條). Dongrun Network’s customers are principally engaged in the internet industry, covering industries such as e-commerce, online tourism, game, video, dating and automobiles. During the year, Dongrun Network achieved its operating income of approximately HK$329.8 million.
During the year, the Group developed its overseas internet advertising market through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Million Stars Internet Media Limited (“MSIM”). Through a global mainstream online platform, namely Facebook, MSIM provides its customers with access to global advertising, including big data support, integrated marketing solutions, local language support and account stabilisation services. During the year, MSIM recorded an operating income of approximately HK$103.1 million.
Outlook
Looking ahead, the Group will seize the opportunities in the booming internet advertising sector to step up investments in internet advertising, seeking to tap on new customers, businesses and revenue streams for delivering better returns to its shareholders.
The outbreak of the Epidemic has caused disruptions to many industries in the PRC as well as other countries and regions. Despite the challenges, governments and international organisations have implemented a series of measures to contain the Epidemic. The Group will closely monitor the development of the Epidemic and assess its impact on its operations.

Financial Review
Overview
During the year, the revenue of the Group recorded an increase of approximately 60.4% from approximately HK$270.7 million for the year ended 30 June 2019 (“FY 2019”) to approximately HK$434.3 million for the year ended 30 June 2020 (“FY 2020”).
During FY 2020, the Group recorded a loss after tax of approximately HK$44.0 million, represented an increase in loss after tax of approximately HK$7.4 million as compared with the loss after tax of approximately HK$36.6 million in FY 2019. This is mainly attributable to the net effect of net reversal of impairment losses recognised on trade and other receivables of approximately HK$27.9 million and impairment losses recognised on intangible assets and interest in an associate of approximately of HK$16.1 million and HK$23.9 million respectively.
Gross Profit
Gross profit margin decreased from 15.0% in FY 2019 to 2.0% in FY 2020 mainly attributable to a lower gross profit of provision of internet advertising agency services in Mainland China during the current year.
Other Income, Gains and Losses, net
Other income, gains and losses, net, mainly represented sundry income incidental to our business, principally including interest income, net exchange differences and additional input value-added tax granted.
Other income, gains and losses, net, amounted to net gains of HK$3.3 million in FY 2020 compared to net gains of HK$3.1 million in FY 2019.
Selling and Distribution Expenses
Selling and distribution expenses mainly comprised sales and marketing expenses. Selling and distribution expenses decreased from approximately HK$3.3 million in FY 2019 to approximately HK$2.2 million in FY 2020. The slight decline in selling and distribution expenses was mainly due to the tight cost control exercised for internet advertising agency business.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses mainly comprised payroll expenses, rent and rates and other office administrative expenses. Administrative expenses decreased from approximately HK$40.0 million in FY 2019 to approximately HK$36.6 million in FY 2020.
The lower administrative expenses in FY 2020 were mainly attributable to a decrease in director’s salaries expenses during the year.
– 26 –
Finance Costs
Finance costs increased from HK$0.6 million in FY 2019 to HK$4.4 million in FY 2020, primarily due to the interest expenses incurred by interest-bearing bank borrowings and a third party loan.
Income tax expense
Income tax represents Hong Kong profits tax at 16.5% for the Company’s subsidiaries in Hong Kong and PRC Enterprise Income Tax at 25% for the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC. Certain subsidiaries of the Company, which we incorporated in the Horgos Economic Development Zone and engaged in industries particularly encouraged by the local government, are entitled to a preferential tax treatment of exemption from enterprise income tax before the end of 2020.
Financial Position, Liquidity and Financial Resources
The Group adopts a prudent cash and financial management policy. In order to achieve better cost control and minimise the costs of funds, the Group’s treasury activities are centralised and cash is generally deposited with banks in Hong Kong and Mainland China.
The Group has maintained its funds at a sound and healthy financial resource level during the year under review. As at 30 June 2020, included in net current assets were bank and cash balances (including pledged bank deposits) totalling approximately HK$55.8 million (2019: HK$23.5 million), the increase of which was mainly due to collection of receivables from debtors. Total debt to equity ratio of the Group expressed as a percentage of interest bearing borrowings over total equity was approximately 18.7% as at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019: 6.25%).
As at 30 June 2020, the Group obtained banking borrowings amounting to HK$28.3 million (30 June 2019: HK$8.1 million). The Group has interest-bearing bank loans which carry interest, ranging from 2.8% to 4.8% per annum in FY 2020 (30 June 2019: 5.6% to 11.3%).

– 27 –
Charge Over Assets of the Group
As at 30 June 2020, the Group’s banking facilities were supported by pledged bank deposits of the Group of approximately HK$5.9 million (2019: HK$3.9 million).
Financial Management Policies
The Group in its ordinary course of business is exposed to market risks such as foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. The Group’s risk management strategy aims to minimise the adverse effects of these risks on its financial performance.
Cash is generally deposited with banks in Hong Kong and Mainland China, which are denominated mostly in United States dollars, Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi. Hong Kong dollars are pegged to United States dollars under the current policy of the Government of Hong Kong.
As the Group’s trading transactions, monetary assets and liabilities in Mainland China are denominated mainly in Renminbi, and trading transactions, monetary assets and liabilities in Hong Kong and overseas are denominated mainly in Hong Kong dollars (being the Group’s operating and reporting currencies) and United States dollars (to which Hong Kong dollars was pegged), the impact of foreign exchange exposure to the Group was minimal and the changes in foreign exchange rates did not have a significant adverse effect on normal operations during the reporting year.
With the current interest rates staying at relatively low levels, the Group has not entered into any interest rate hedging contract or any other interest rate related derivative financial instrument (2019: Nil). However, the Group continues to monitor its related interest rate exposure closely.
Capital Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
As at 30 June 2020, the Group did not have any significant capital commitment (2019: Nil) and contingent liability (2019: Nil).
Risk management and uncertainties
The Board believes that risk management is essential to the Group’s efficient and effective operation. The Group’s management assists the Board in periodic evaluation of principal risks exposed to the Group and estimation made for the uncertainties; and participates in formulating appropriate risk management and internal control measures for the purpose of on-going monitoring of such risks and assessing the appropriateness of such estimations.
