1. BASISOFPREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited condensed consolidatedinterim financial statements for thesix months ended 30June 2020 have been

Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA") andthe applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the RulesGoverning the Listingof Securitieson The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

The unauditedcondensed consolidated interim financial statements have beenprepared under the historical cost basis and exceptfor certain financialinstrumentswhich are measured atfair value.

Theseunaudited condensed consolidated interim financialstatements have been prepared with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2019 annual financial statements, except for those that relate to new standards or interpretations effectivefor the first time for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The Group hasearlyadopted the Amendmentto HongKong Financial Reporting Standard 16 - Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions ("Amendment toHKFRS 16"). Details of any changes in accounting policies are set out in note 2. Except for the early adoption of Amendment to HKFRS 16, the adoption of the new and revised HKFRSs has no material effect on these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The Group has not early adopted any other new and revised HKFRSs that has been issued but not yet effective in the current accounting period.

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in compliance with HKAS 34 requires the use of certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year to date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Hong Kong Dollars ("HK$"), unless otherwise stated. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the 2019 annual financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (the "HKFRSs") and should be read in conjunction with the 2019 consolidated financial statements.

2. CHANGES IN HKFRSs

The HKICPA has issued a number of new or amended HKFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group:

Amendments to HKFRS 3

Definition of a Business

Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8

Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7

INTERIM REPORT 2020

2. CHANGES INHKFRSs (continued) Amendment to HKFRS 16

This amendment provides a practical expedientfor lessees to elect not to apply leasemodification accounting for rent

concessions arising as a direct consequence of thecovid-19 pandemic. The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as adirect consequenceof the covid-19 pandemic and onlyif

(i)thechangein lease payments results in revised considerationfor the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than,the consideration for the lease immediately preceding thechange;

(ii) anyreduction in lease payments affects only payments originallydueon or before30June 2021;and

(iii) there is no substantivechange toother termsandconditionsof the lease.

During the period ended30 June2020,certainmonthlylease payments for the leases of the Group'sbuildings have been

reduced or waivedby thelessors asaresultof the covid-19 pandemic and there are no other changes to the termsof

the leases. The Group has early adopted the amendment on 1 January 2020 and elected not to apply lease modification

accountingforall rent concessionsgranted by the lessors as a result of the covid-19 pandemic during the period ended

30 June 2020. Accordingly, a reduction in the lease payments arising from the rent concessions of HK$428,000 has been

accountedfor asavariable lease payment by derecognising part of the lease liabilities and crediting to profit or loss for the periodended30June 2020.

  1. USE OF JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
    In preparing this unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by the management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to 2019 annual financial statements.
  2. REVENUE AND SEGMENT REPORTING Reportable segments
    The Group determines its operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the chief operating decision-makers that are used to make strategic decisions and to assess the performance.
    The segments are managed separately as each business offers different products and services and requires different business strategies. The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group's reportable segments:
    • Media entertainment (visual effects production service, post production service, 360 degree digital capture technology application and sales of hardware and solution services)
    • Property investment

Inter-segment transactions are priced with reference to prices charged to external parties for similar order. Central revenue and expenses are not allocated to the operating segments as they are not included in the measure of the segment's profit or loss that is used by the chief operating decision-makers for assessment of segment performance.

The contract assets primarily relate to the Group's rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date on revenue related to the provisions of visual effects production, post production service and solution services. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. This usually occurs when the Group provides the invoice to the customer.

The contract liabilities are mainly related to the advance consideration received from customers.

The Group has applied the practical expedient to its sales contracts for media entertainment services and therefore the above information does not include information about revenue that the Group will be entitled to when it satisfies the remaining performance obligations under the contracts for media entertainment services that had an original expected duration of one year or less.

Since the share options outstanding had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share, the exercise of outstanding share options were not assumed in the computation of diluted loss per share.

Except for the above, there is no other dilutive potential share during the current and prior periods. Therefore, the basic and diluted loss per share in the current and prior periods are equal.

Unlisted equity investment, at fair value

-

-

In 2018, the Group acquired the unlisted equity instrument at the consideration of US$25,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$196,213,000). Accumulated fair value adjustment (downside) of HK$196,213,000 has been recognised in other comprehensive income as at 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2019.

The above investment represents an unlisted equity instrument which is held for medium or long-term strategic purpose. The Group irrevocably designated the investment in equity instrument as at fair value through other comprehensive income on its initial recognition as the directors believed that this provided a more meaningful presentation for medium or long-term strategic investment, than reflecting changes in fair value immediately in profit or loss.

On 21 May 2020, 478,000,000 share options ("Options") were conditionally granted to employees of the Group, 292,200,000 Options have immediately vested on 21 May 2020, while 92,200,000 Options and 93,600,000 Options will be vested on 21 May 2021 and 21 May 2022 respectively. All Options are/shall be exercisable from their respective vesting dates until 20 May 2030. The exercise price of the Options is HK$0.046 per share, being the closing price as stated in the daily quotations sheet issued by the Stock Exchange on 21 May 2020.

During the six months ended 30 June 2020, no share options (six months ended 30 June 2019: nil) were forfeited and no

share options (six months ended 30 June 2019: 1,000,000) were exercised.

As at 30 June 2020, the weighted average exercise price of share options outstanding was HK$0.253 per share (as at 31 December 2019: HK$0.308 per share), and their average remaining contractual life is 6.23 years (as at 31 December 2019: 5.75 years).

The fair value of services received in return for the grant on the grant date is measured by reference to the fair value of share options granted. The fair value of the share options granted on 21 May 2020 is determined based on binomial option pricing model. The weighted average fair value of each option granted during the six months ended 30 June 2020 was HK$0.021. The key valuation parameters are as follows:

Share price at grant date

HK$0.046

Exercise price

HK$0.046

Life of the share options

10 years

Expected dividend yield

0%

Risk-free rate

0.58%

Forfeiture rate

5.5%

Suboptimal exercise behaviour multiple

2.5

Expected volatility is determined by considering the historical share price movement of the Company. Expected dividend yield is determined from the Company's historical payment of dividends. Risk-free rate is the average forecast rate obtained from Hong Kong Government Bonds. Forfeiture rate is determined from the Group's historical employee share options exit rate. Suboptimal exercise behaviour multiple is based on the Company's historical employee share options early exercise multiples.

The fair value of equity-settled share options is estimated through the use of option valuation models which require various inputs and assumptions. The value of options is subjective and may be uncertain as it is affected by assumptions applied and with regard to the limitation of the valuation model. Some of the inputs are based on estimates derived from historical information of the Group, such as suboptimal exercise behaviour. In this regard, using different input estimates could produce different option values, which would result in the recognition of a higher or lower expense.

There were no market vesting conditions associated with the share options granted.

In aggregate, the Group had recognised an equity-settledshare-based payment expenses of HK$6,418,000 (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$4,768,000) during the six months ended 30 June 2020.

Possible Indemnification

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company based in the United States (the "USSubsidiary") has used a combination

of physical equipment and intellectual property to record images ofhuman faces (the "Disputed IP"). The Disputed

IP is one of several different technologies available to capture elementsofa human face prior to visual effects

enhancements that create the final image.The US Subsidiary'suseofthe DisputedIP had beenundera 2013 license from anunaffiliatedcompany basedin thePRC(the"OriginalOwner").

In 2014, adisputeover theownership of theDisputedIP between the Original Owner and another company basedin

the UnitedStates (the "Claimant")resultedin the filing of a lawsuit (the "Lawsuit") in the United States District Court,

Northern District of California.Neitherthe Original Owner nor the Claimant is a member company of the Group.

Anothersubsidiary of theCompany agreed in 2015 to purchase the Disputed IP. The completion of the transfer of such Disputed IPis subjectto the favourable outcome of the Lawsuit. On 11 August 2017, the court issued a statement of decision which concluded that the Claimant owned the Disputed IP. The US Subsidiary had already used alternate technologies. An appeal of the statement of decision was subsequently filed. The appellate court issued a written decision on 31 July 2020 in which it concluded that Claimant owned the Disputed IP.

During 2017, the Claimant filed four separate lawsuits against certain clients of the US Subsidiary relating to the use of the Disputed IP in certain visual effects projects that the US Subsidiary had completed ("Other Lawsuits"). In its production services agreements for these projects, the US Subsidiary agreed to certain indemnification obligations with respect to claims brought against these clients arising from allegations that the technology it used was not properly licensed or acquired. As a result, these clients have requested that the US Subsidiary acknowledge its obligation to indemnify them for any losses suffered as a result of their involvement in the Other Lawsuits.

The US Subsidiary's clients filed a motion asking the court to summarily decide certain portions of the remaining claims in their favour. The court has allowed both parties in the Other Lawsuits to conduct further discovery and investigation into these remaining claims before hearing further arguments in favour of and against the motion.

The US Subsidiary has submitted the indemnity requests that it has received from these clients to one of its insurance companies that may provide insurance coverage for indemnity claims brought against it. The insurance company initially acknowledged its obligation to provide a defence to the US Subsidiary's clients, but subsequently communicated to the US Subsidiary that it was re-evaluating its coverage obligations under the insurance policy. The insurance company and the US Subsidiary are continuing their discussions with respect to whether, and to what extent the insurance company will pay the defence costs of the US Subsidiary's clients in the Other Lawsuits.

EXPOSURETOFLUCTUATION INEXCHANGERATESAND RELATEDHEDGES

The Group'srevenue, expenses,assetsand liabilitiesweremainly denominated in Hong Kong dollars ("HKD"), United States dollars ("USD"),Canadiandollars ("CAD"), Renminbi("RMB") and Indian Rupees ("INR"). The exchange rates

for the USD againstthe HKD remained relativelystableduring the Review Period. As some of the financial statements

for thebusiness operations in North America, Mainland of Chinaand India were reported in CAD, RMB and INR,

respectively, if the CAD or RMB or INR were to depreciate relative to theHKD, the reported earnings/expensesfor the Canadian portion, MainlandofChina portion orIndian portion woulddecrease.

At present,the Groupdoes not intendtoseek to hedgeits exposure to foreignexchangefluctuations involving RMB,

CADand/or INR. However, theGroupwill constantly review theeconomicsituation,the development of each business

segmentand theoverall foreign exchangeriskprofile,and will consider appropriate hedging measuresin futurewhennecessary.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Saveas disclosedunder "Possible Indemnification" of Media Entertainment Segment above, as at 30 June 2020, the Groupdidnot have any material contingent liabilities.

EMPLOYEES OF THE GROUP AND REMUNERATION POLICY

As at 30 June 2020, the total headcount of the Group was 1,049. The Group believes that its employees play an important role in its success. Under the Group's remuneration policy, employee pay rates are maintained at competitive levels whilst promotion and salary increments are assessed on a performance-related basis. Other benefits include discretionary bonuses, a share option scheme and retirement schemes.

PROSPECT

The global economy has been adversely affected by the outbreak of new coronavirus (COVID-19) and associated government epidemic prevention and control measures in early 2020 and we can see that 2020 will continue to be an extremely challenging year for a lot of businesses, including our media entertainment business. Given that the overall situation remains unstable and further impact may be reflected in the second half of 2020, so we are adopting a prudent approach in our business strategies (including cost control, business direction, production mix, etc.).

The Group continues to leverage its extensive experience in the VFX industry and proactively seeks new projects and business opportunities despite the highly competitive market environment in US and China. However, government measures and public response to the outbreak of COVID-19 worldwide has had an impact on, the business activities (VFX work for feature films, TV drama, commercials, etc.) in terms of extensions or delays in production schedules and new projects becoming available as the industry monitors the development of government directions and policies and their potential impact, while there were increased opportunities for providing VFX work for other type of products (e.g. online games). While we have noted more business opportunities in US and China following the gradual resumption of commercial work, it is more challenging to predict trends in different segment given that the development of the pandemic in different countries remain unstable. With the official opening of our new studio in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in February 2020, we enjoy additional production capacity with tax and other benefits provided by the Quebec provincial/Canadian federal governments. The Group will continue to evaluate the cost structure, function and operation performance of each studio in North America and Asia to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of our working capacity while reducing production costs in the long run.

PROSPECT (continued)

The business activities (slowdown of expansion in Mainland ofChina and evenworld-wide,slowdownand/or

reduction of investments/projects by potential clients, etc.) of our VR business, especially those 360° digital capture/

livestreaming business (such as in sports,travel, concerts, social events with mass public) have also experienced

same time, webelieve that the introductionofa new business partner through the disposalof certainequityinterests

in 3Glasseswill provideanopportunity forustoevaluateouroverall strategy (investment direction, products mix, etc.) of our VRbusiness.

We will continue to explore new virtual human business opportunities (such as "virtual humanlive broadcasting with online shopping activities" in Mainland of China) and products with strategic investorsby developing new technologies which will enhance the interactivity between virtual humans and the audience in social-networking platform and entertainment business.

Similar to most advanced technology companies, we will continue to deploy substantial financial and human resources in continuing research and development in new technologies, and will seek to recruit and retain appropriate global talents to support the Group's future development. In line with our strategy to optimize our production capacity and costs, we will also explore appropriate strategically located properties for both operations and investment purposes. We will continue to seek opportunities for financing and collaboration with strategic partners/investors on Group level or business project/subsidiary level. We believe that continuing efforts in these directions will help us enhance our business ecosystems and other capabilities.

Looking ahead, we will continue to build on our strengths and strive to provide quality services and products to our valued clients, especially during this challenging year, while we work towards maximising benefits for our important stakeholders (strategic partners, shareholders, staff and management) in the coming years.
