INTERIM REPORT
2017 / 2018
----- End of picture text -----

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 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”) 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 (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 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.

Notes:

(I) STATUTORY RESERVE

Pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations for business enterprises in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), a portion of the profits of the entities which are registered in the PRC has been transferred to the statutory reserve which is restricted as to use. When the balance of such reserve reaches 50% of the capital of that entity, any further appropriation is optional. The statutory reserve can be utilised, upon approval of the relevant authority, to offset prior years’ losses or to increase capital. However, the balance of the statutory reserve must be maintained at a minimum 25% of capital after such usage.

Exchange fluctuation reserve represents exchange differences relating to the translation of the net assets of the Group’s foreign operations from their functional currencies to the Group’s presentation currency (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) that are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the exchange fluctuation reserve. Such exchange differences accumulated in the exchange fluctuation reserve are reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the foreign operations.

(III) OTHER RESERVE

Other reserve represents the difference between the nominal value of the shares issued by the Company in exchange for the nominal value of the share capital of its subsidiary arising from the reorganisation underwent for the preparation of the listing of the Company’s shares on GEM.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2017 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles accepted in Hong Kong and comply with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and the applicable disclosure provisions of Chapter 18 of the GEM Listing Rules.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2017 are consistent with those adopted in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017 except for the adoption of the new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (the “New and Revised HKFRSs”) (which include all HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations) issued by the HKICPA that are adopted for the first time for the current period financial statements.

The adoption of the New and Revised HKFRSs has had no significant effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2017 and there have been no significant changes to the accounting policies applied in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2017.

The Group has not applied any new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of such new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations to the Group but is yet to be in a position to state whether they would have any material financial impact on the Group’s results of operations and financial position.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2017 have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the Company’s auditors, but have been reviewed by the audit committee of the Company.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Internet Advertising Agency Services

The internet has powered transformation and innovation of traditional sectors, driven by the improving telecommunication infrastructure, the growing internet user base and the introduction of the “Internet Plus” plan. Internet advertising, a booming sector combining advertising and the internet, has attracted an increasing number of advertisers by its distinctiveness such as broad audience, high accuracy and strong interaction. It has become a key advertising channel for advertisers, as demonstrated by the surging market size of internet marketing. The online advertising market size in the PRC reached RMB239.3 billion in 2016, representing a year-on-year growth of 21.0%.
