NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. GENERAL AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands. The address of its registered office is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman, KY1-1111, Cayman Islands. The address of its principal place of business is Room 02, 26/F., One Harbour Square, No. 181 Hoi Bun Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The Company's shares were listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange").
The Company is an investment holding company. The condensed consolidated financial information are presented in Hong Kong dollars ("HK$") and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.
In the opinion of the Directors, Diamond State Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, is the immediate parent and Mr. Cheng Ting Kong is the ultimate controlling parties of the Company.
The condensed consolidated financial information have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard ("HKAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA") as well as with the applicable disclosure provision of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules").
As at 30 June 2020, the Group's current liabilities exceed its current asset by approximately HK$8,860,000 and total assets exceed its total liabilities by approximately HK$21,338,000. In the view of these circumstance, there exist uncertainties related to the events and conditions described above that, individually or collectively, may cast doubts on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
As at 30 June 2020, the Group's has un-utilised facilities for HK$50,000,000 from a substantial shareholder. The Directors believe that the Group has sufficient working capital to meet the financial obligations when they fall due in the foreseeable future. The Directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial information on a going concern basis.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated financial information have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain properties and financial instruments, which are measured at fair value, as appropriate.
Except as described below, the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2020 are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial information for the year ended 31 December 2019.
Adoption of new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards
In the current period, the Group has adopted all the new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") issued by the HKICPA that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 January 2020. HKFRSs comprise Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS"); Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("HKAS"); and Interpretations. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Amendments to HKFRS 3: Definition of a Business
The amendment to HKFRS 3 clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Furthermore, it clarified that a business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. These amendments had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial information of the Group, but may impact future periods should the Group enter into any business combinations.
Amendments to HKFRS 7, HKFRS 9 and HKAS 39: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
The amendments to HKFRS 9 and HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement provide a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainties about the timing and or amount of benchmark-basedcash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument. These amendments had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial information of the Group as it did not have any interest rate hedge relationships that was affected by the interest rate benchmark reform.
Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8: Definition of Material
The amendments provide a new definition of material that states "information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity."
The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, either individually or in combination with other information, in the context of the financial statements. A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users. These amendments had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial information of, nor is there expected to be any future impact to the Group.
- 9 -
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued on 28 June 2018
The Conceptual Framework is not a standard, and none of the concepts contained therein override the concepts or requirements in any standard. The purpose of the Conceptual Framework is to assist the HKICPA in developing standards, to help preparers develop consistent accounting policies where there is no applicable standard in place and to assist all parties to understand and interpret the standards.
The revised Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, provides updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts.
These amendments had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial information of the Group.
3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

17. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following disclosures of fair value measurements use a fair value hierarchy that categorises into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value:
Level 1 inputs: | quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that |
the Group can access at the measurement date. | |
Level 2 inputs: | inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the |
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. | |
Level 3 inputs: | unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of any of the three levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Group's revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2020 amounted to approximately HK$79.9 million, representing a decrease of approximately 34.2% over the corresponding period of 2019. Such decrease is mainly due to the decrease of sales of household products and online game business.
Gross profit margin of the Group decreased from 9.3% to approximately 3.3% for the six months ended 30 June 2020 was mainly due to the decease of gross profit margin of household business and low profit margin for online game business during the period.
Other income decreased from approximately HK$6,206,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2019 to approximately HK$3,822,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2020, mainly due to decrease in government grant and no performance bonus during the period.
Distribution costs decreased from approximately HK$18.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019 to approximately HK$5.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020, as there was decrease in marketing expenses for online games business during the period.
Administrative expenses increased from approximately HK$28.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019 to approximately HK$30.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020, mainly due to the increase in staff costs and legal and professional fee.
Other operating expenses of approximately HK$7.0 million is mainly due to impairment loss on loan receivables, intangible assets and goodwill during the period.
BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
BUSINESS REVIEW
In the first half of 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 and the growing tensions between China and the U.S. have brought great challenges to the overall market and the global economy slowed down unavoidably. While under this situation, the emerging trends during pandemic clearly indicates that there are ample opportunities in the game industry, with the growth of smartphone games and esports, as well as the launch of 5G, which would be a strong enabler for more interaction among people.
Other business segments of the Group are all negatively affected by the poor market sentiment and volatile market environment. This calls for a speedy transformation of the Group from a traditional household products manufacturer into a vibrant game company.
- 25 -
Online game business
The revenue from online game business for the six months ended 30 June 2020 was approximately HK$12,915,000 (2019: HK$30,897,000). The reduction was mainly due to lack of attractive products being launched in 2020 as compared to the success of the mobile game "Kaiser". As reported in the 2019 annual report, the Group has delayed launch of three products scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2019 until early 2020. Two of these games were eventually launched in March 2020 with disappointing results. As a result, the segment recorded loss of approximately HK$28,260,000 (2019: HK$32,575,000) during the reporting period.
Amid the challenges, the management is still positive on the outlook of this segment. According to forecast report issued by NewZoo recently, the total games industry is expected to make over USD159.3 billion in 2020 across all segment, including digital, physical, hardware and accessories, representing a growth rate of 9.3% year-on-year. The smartphone games segment, especially, is forecast to contribute around USD63.6 billion, with a growth rate of approximately 16%. Besides, the esports segment is expected to increase by approximately 16% to reach USD1,100 million. The firm also expects gaming to break USD200 billion by 2023 in the height of the next console generation and the pivotal 5G era of mobile connectivity.
To seize the opportunities from the market growth the Group has reviewed the performance of the business and identified several key areas for improvements. Geographically speaking, 2020 will see China's return to dominance in games earnings according to Newzoo. Thus, the Group will focus on the fast-growing PRC gaming market and partner with major gaming companies to enhance its product portfolio and quality. The Group believes this strategy will enable the Group to broaden its customer base and enjoy better economy of scale for its operation. At the same time, to encourage more engagement of game players in the region, the Group would put more efforts on online marketing for future products, as well as brand building.
In addition, the Group is diversifying its income streams with potential capital expecting to be gained from game slots. Moreover, in view of the emerging esports segment, the Group has taken prompt action to catch the market opportunities by forming a venture with Nova eSports International Limited ("Nova"), and acquired XQF team, which ranked the first and third in the Esports Contests of Peacekeeper Elite (和平精英) held in 2019 and first half of 2020, respectively. Given the recognised track record of XQF Team, the Group believe that it is lucrative for the Group to participate in the Esports Contests organised by PEL and/or other parties through the acquisition of XQF Team.
- 26 -
For the rest of the year, the Group will integrate with Nova to establish the platform for the growth of esports segment, and partner with leading game developers to publish high-quality and attractive games for the market. With its flexible strategies, the Group is confident in developing the business into a prominent regional game distributor.
Household products business
The revenue from household products business for the six months ended 30 June 2020 was approximately HK$65,124,000 (2019: HK$86,390,000) representing a decrease of 24.6% as compared to last year. Unavoidably, the market demand has decreased due to the growing tension between china and the U.S. and outbreak of COVID-19. With support from the government's relief program and the flexible cost structure of the operation, the gross profit margin of household products business was decrease marginally to 5.8% (2019:
7.0%). The segment loss for the reporting period was approximately HK$1,754,000 (2019: HK$146,000).
The outlook of this segment continued to be filled with challenges as the major customer continued to diversify its supply chain to other countries. The portion of sales from new products during the reported period has further reduced to 2.4%. . To mediate the impact of possible disruption to the relationship with the major customer to the business, the Group has secured new orders from four domestic customers with total value of approximately RMB9 million. Whilst this represented only a small portion of the total revenue of the business, it was a significant milestone in our diversification strategy. Moreover, it would be critical for us to maintain the scale of operation in the next 6 to 12 months, especially for stabilizing the relationship with the segment's suppliers. Hence, the Group will explore opportunities in trading as a temporary measure to sustain the operations.
Property investment business
The Group's revenue from property investment business during the reporting period was approximately HK$657,000 (2019: approximately HK$768,000). The segment loss was approximately HK$551,000 (2019: segment profit of approximately HK$1,804,000), mainly due to fair value loss on investment property which is non-cash in nature.
Money lending business
The Group's revenue from money lending business during the period was approximately HK$1,187,000 (2019: HK$3,335,000). The segment loss of approximately HK$840,000 (2019: HK$1,972,000), mainly due to impairment loss on loan receivables for approximately HK$1,500,000.
- 27 -
Future prospects
Facing with the uncertain and challenging environment, we would accelerate the implementation of expanding the online game business into China to grow the segment into the major pillar of the Group. In addition, we will continue to adopt suitable cost saving measures and evaluate the business operations to enhance the financial position of the Group as well as maximizing returns to the shareholders. Looking ahead, we will broaden our product range to console games to capture the possible opportunities and further expand the market to the PRC region.

The estimated fair value of the share options granted under the Scheme on 26 November 2008 was approximately HK$14,939,000, calculated using the Binomial Model (the "Model"). The inputs into the Model were as follows:
Share options with | |
an exercisable period from | |
23 May 2018 to 22 May 2022 | |
Share price at date of grant | HK$4.91 |
Exercise price | HK$5.14 |
Expected volatility (per annum) | 65.50% |
Expected life of share options | 4 years |
Expected dividend yield | 0% |
Risk-free rate | 2.14% |
Fair value of share option | HK$2.14 |
Fair values of the share options were with reference to the valuation carried out by an independent firm of professional valuers.
Expected volatility was determined by using the historical volatility of the Company's share price. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.
The risk free interest rate was estimated based on the yield of 5-year exchange fund note issued by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority as of the grant date.
The variables and assumptions used in computing the fair value of the share options are based on the directors' best estimate. The value of an option varies with different variables of certain subjective assumptions.
The Group recognises the total expense of approximately HK$923,000 for the period ended 30 June 2020 (2019: approximately HK$1,570,000) in relation to share options granted by the Company.
