INSIDE INFORMATION POSITIVE PROFIT ALERT

This announcement is issued by the Company pursuant to Rule 13.09(2)(a) of the Listing Rules and under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The Board now wishes to inform the Shareholders and potential investors that, based on a preliminary assessment of the Group's unaudited consolidated management accounts for the year ended December 31, 2020, as well as other relevant information currently available to the Board, the Group expects its profit attributable to owners of the Company to be in the range of approximately US$10 million to US$12 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which has an increase of US$16 million to US$18 million as compared to the loss attributable to owners of the Company of US$6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Based on information currently available to the Company, the expected significant increase in profit attributable to owners of the Company is mainly because of the steady increase of revenue in content protection business and the significant increase of revenue in content management and monetization.
