NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 September 2007
1. GENERAL
The Company was incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability and its
shares are listed on Its ultimate holding company is Luck Continent Limited (“Luck
Continent”) (incorporated in the British Virgin Islands) on 31 March 2007. The
addresses of the registered office and principal place of business of the
Company are Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda
and 17/F., Silver Base Centre, 200 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong
respectively.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are
presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the same as the functional currency
of the Company.
The Company is an investment holding company. The principal activities of the
Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are investment holding, apparel
trading, strategic investments and provision of online game tournament
services in the PRC.
The operations of the online game tournament services in the PRC were
initially conducted through T-Matrix Culture Company Limited (“T-Matrix”), a
limited liability company established in the PRC on 11 September 2003. T-Matrix
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Beijing Horizon Trading Company Limited
(“Beijing Horizon”), a limited liability company established in the PRC on 15
July 1999. Beijing Horizon is legally owned by certain individual owners, who
are PRC citizens (the “Registered Shareholders”).
8
Interim Report 2007/2008
C Y Foundation Group Limited
1. GENERAL (Continued)
The PRC laws and regulations restrict foreign ownership of companies
providing value-added telecommunications services, which included
activities and services operated by T-Matrix. In order to enable certain foreign
companies to make investments into the business of the Group, the Company
established a subsidiary, o (“o ”), which is a wholly
foreign owned enterprise established in the PRC on 30 December 2006.
Certain contractual arrangements have been made among o , Beijing
Horizon and the Registered Shareholders so that the decision-making rights
and operating and financing activities of Beijing Horizon are ultimately
controlled by the Company. o are also entitled to substantially all of
the operating profits and residual benefits generated by Beijing Horizon under
these arrangements. In particular, the Registered Shareholders are required
under their contractual arrangements with the Group to transfer these
interests in Beijing Horizon to the Group or the Group’s designee upon the
Group’s request at a pre-agreed consideration.
Further, pursuant to the contractual arrangements between o and
Beijing Horizon, the Group owns the intellectual property developed by
Beijing Horizon. It also receives the cash flow derived from the operations
of Beijing Horizon through the levying of service and consultancy fees and
sales of software. The ownership interests in Beijing Horizon have also been
pledged by the Registered Shareholders to the Group. As a result, Beijing
Horizon is accounted for as a special purpose entity and a subsidiary of the
Group for accounting purposes. This approach was adopted because in the
management’s beliefs it best reflects the substance of the formation of the
Group.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six
months ended 30 September 2007 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”)
and the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules
Governing the Listing of Securities (the “Listing Rules”) on the Stock Exchange.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year
ended 31 March 2007.
3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have
been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Except for those mentioned below, the accounting policies and methods
of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed
consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the
annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2007. In particular,
we have consolidated Beijing Horizon and its subsidiaries (“Beijing Horizon
Group”) into the financial statements of the Group notwithstanding the lack
of legal equity ownership of Beijing Horizon, because in substance certain
contractual arrangements enacted with Beijing Horizon give the Company
control over Beijing Horizon by way of controlling more than one half of the
voting rights of Beijing Horizon, governing its financial and operational policies
and appointing or removing the majority of the members of its controlling
authorities, and casting the majority of votes at meetings of such authorities.
In addition, such contractual arrangements also transfer the risks and rewards
of Beijing Horizon to the Company.
In the current period, the Group has applied, for the first time, a number of
new standard, amendment and interpretations (“new HKFRSs”) issued by the
HKICPA which are effective for the financial year ending 31 March 2008.

The adoption of the new HKFRSs had no material effect on how the results
and financial position for the current or prior accounting periods have been
prepared and presented. Accordingly, no prior period adjustment has been
required.
The Group has not early applied the following new/revised standards and
interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective. The directors
of the Company anticipate that the application of these standards and
interpretations will have no material impact on the results and financial
position of the Group.

3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(a) Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over
which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating
policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one
half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting
rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when
assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the
acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is
measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued
and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs
directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination
are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The
excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share
of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost
of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary
acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement.
12
Interim Report 2007/2008
C Y Foundation Group Limited
3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(a) Consolidation (Continued)
To comply with PRC laws and regulations that restrict foreign ownership
of companies that operate online game tournament services and
other restricted business, the Group operates and provides such
restricted services in the PRC through a PRC domestic company whose
equity interests are held by certain individual owners. The domestic
company has entered into a business cooperation and technical
service agreement with the Group, which makes it obligatory for the
Group to absorb a substantial majority of the risk of losses from the
PRC domestic company’s activities and entitles the Group to receive
a substantial majority of its residual returns. In addition, the Group has
entered into certain agreements with those individual owners, including
loan agreement for them to contribute paid-in capital to the domestic
company, option agreement for the Group to acquire the equity in the
PRC domestic company subject to compliance with PRC laws, pledge
agreement over the equity interests of the PRC domestic company held
by those individual owners, and proxy agreement irrevocably authorising
individuals designated by the Group to exercise the equity owners’ rights
over the PRC domestic company, whichever is applicable. Based on
these contractual agreements, the Group believes that, notwithstanding
the lack of equity ownership, the contractual arrangements described
above give the Group control over the PRC domestic company in
substance. Accordingly, the financial position and operating results of the
entity are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim
financial statements.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on
transactions between the group companies are eliminated. Unrealised
losses are also eliminated but considered as an impairment indicator
of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been
changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies
adopted by the Group.
(b) Intangible assets
Intangible asset includes licenses acquired from business combinations.
They are initially recognised and measured at estimated fair value upon
acquisition. Cost of licenses are being amortised on a straight-line basis
over the licenses period.

18. BUSINESS COMBINATION
Acquisition of 100% controlling interest in Beijing Horizon Group
On 1 August 2007, the Group acquired 100% controlling interest in Beijing
Horizon Group through certain contractual arrangements among o ,
Beijing Horizon and the Registered Shareholders (as described in note 1, note
2 and note 3 above) at a zero consideration. Notwithstanding the Group
lacks equity ownership in Beijing Horizon, such contractual arrangements
in substance give the Group control over Beijing Horizon Group by way of
controlling all the voting rights of Beijing Horizon, governing its financial and
operational policies and appointing or removing the majority of the members
of its controlling authorities, and casting the majority of votes at meetings of
such authorities. In addition, such contractual arrangements also transfer the
risks and rewards of Beijing Horizon Group to the Group. As a result, Beijing
Horizon is accounted for as a special purpose entity and thus a subsidiary
of the Group for accounting purpose. This acquisition has been accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting. The excess of the fair value
of the net assets of Beijing Horizon Group over the cost of acquisition was
approximately HK$1,336,000 and recognised in the unaudited condensed
consolidated income statement for the six months ended 30 September 2007.

REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Financial Review
Operating results
For the six months ended 30 September 2007, the Group recorded a turnover
of HK$29.3 million as compared to HK$36.5 million for the last corresponding
period. The decrease was due to the gradual phasing out of the apparel
trading business as well as the Group’s new focus on its new business
development in online game tournaments. The Group also reported a net
loss of HK$12.8 million as compared to a loss of HK21.0 million in the last
corresponding period. The loss was mainly attributable to the loss from
the gradually discontinued operation - apparel trading business and the
establishing cost for the online game tournament business.
As the new business of online game tournaments is still at its early
development stage and takes time to establish, the current financial figures
reflect mainly the being phased out apparel business operation. The benefits
from the anticipated high growth in online game tournaments is expected to
emerge from the next financial year and onwards.
Business Review – Old Business
At the beginning of the period under review, the Board had determined to
focus on the development of the new online game tournaments business
and has gradually shifted the resources away from its apparel business. This
business recorded a turnover of HK$29.2 million and a net loss of HK$8.9 million
for the period under review. The portfolio of the apparel trading is expected
to be scaled down in the forthcoming financial year.

New Course – Online Game Tournaments
The revenue from the new business started to accrue to the Group from
August 2007. During two months’ period, the revenue generated from the new
business of the Group amounted to approximately HK$0.13 million and the net
loss for this period was approximately HK$3.9 million. The Group’s core business
is to organize and manage nationwide online game tournaments. Players
from all over China will participate in online tournaments that will feature
casual games such as mahjong, doudizhu, Texas Hold’em poker, tuolaji, and
animated entertainment games.
Tournaments
The Group operates online P2P (player to player) game tournaments for
prizes all across China. The Group is the company dedicated to the online
tournament market in China and sees enormous potential in a country where
the online gaming market is estimated to comprise more than 45 million
players (2006) and is growing at more than 39% per year.
The online tournament market in China is new. The Group maintains a first
mover advantage and is developing unique tournament formats suitable for
multiple market segments. The Group’s online tournaments will feature hugely
popular card games such as Doudizhu and Texas Hold’em.
Distribution Channel
The Group’s main distribution channel is internet cafes; there are over 120,000
licensed internet cafes nationwide with 27 million visitors per day. Through
Network Media Center, the Group has access to a wide range of resources
to accelerate the roll out and popularity of our online tournament platform,
including a network of 20,000 internet cafes.

Tournament Platform
The Group will accelerate roll out of tournaments to a large network of
internet cafes by developing a proprietary tournament platform. The platform
will contain a full suite of services that will offer players a seamless and
exciting game-user experience. This will include membership, payment, prize
distribution and tournament statistics services.
Enternet
The online tournaments will gain further support and exposure through our
high-end flagship entertainment centers, located in the major cities across
China. The entertainment centers feature a full spectrum of entertainment
including P2P tournament playing section, VIP rooms, digital cinemas playing
international films and live sports, internet cafe and a refreshment area. Our
first entertainment center opened on 14 September 2007 in Shanghai. Future
locations to be open soon include Shenzhen and Beijing.
Acquisition
During the period, the Group acquired T-Matrix Culture Company Limited
to speed up the roll out of the Group’s online tournament platform. T-Matrix
has over 1,000 internet cafe franchisees and allied internet cafe partners
in over 9 provinces across China. T-Matrix is one of only 7 active license
owners authorised by the PRC’s Minsitry of Culture to franchise internet cafes
nationwide in China. Internet cafes in this T-Matrix group will become the
Group’s online tournament platform and hold nationwide tournaments. The
acquisition of T-Matrix had expedited the establishment of marketing channels
in promoting the online game tournaments. The Group began operating
online tournaments throughout the T-Matrix network since early August 2007.

Rolling out of tournaments
Various electronic tournaments have been launched since mid of the year.
The latest one named China Youth Electronic Tournament or CYET was
launched in October 2007 and had proved a huge success with nearly 29,000
players signing up for the tournament. Since then, CYET has been launched in
over 230 internet cafes in Wuxi, China.
The entertainment centre and the tournaments took the Group a great
step forward towards our objective of establishing a sizeable online gaming
community. The Group looks forward to rolling out more tournament via its
proprietary platform to more cities across China and the growth of our player
base as well as the geographical reach.
Capital resources and currency exposure
As at 30 September 2007, the cash and cash equivalents (including bank
fiduciary deposit) of the Group amounted to approximately HK$754.3 million
and there was no bank borrowing. The gearing ratio of interest bearing
borrowing (net of the zero coupon rate convertible notes) against the total
equity at 31 March 2007 was 53.6%. As majority of the cash on hand is in US
currency, the Group’s exchange risk exposure is mainly in the downward
trend of US currency. Therefore, the Group has planned to convert a portion
of the US currency on hand to other major currencies in order to reduce the
potential exchange fluctuations.
Capital commitment
As at 30 September 2007, the Group has not committed nor had any plan to
commit for any material investment or capital assets.
Subsequent event
Subsequent to the period under review, the Group announced the acquisition
of a property in Hong Kong and a property in Beijing for office use. The
consideration was and will be financed partly by the internal source of
funding of the Group and partly by mortgage financing from bank.

Interim Report 2007/2008
C Y Foundation Group Limited
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK (Continued)
Prospects
The Board is highly positive on the growth potential of the new business based
on the market size of China’s online game players and its fast growth rate.
With the huge success of CYET in Wuxi, the Group is planning to roll out more
tournament events in more cities including Zhengzhou, Chengdu, Guangzhou,
Wuhan and Shanghai over the next few months. The Group expects to see a
huge increase in the growth of its player base as the brand expands across
China. The next major tournament will culminate with a 1 million Renminbi final
to be held in Shanghai at the end of April 2008.
Aside from this, The Group plans to work closely with its strategic partner
to utilise its vast resources such as its 75 million membership base and
relationships with over 20,000 internet cafes across China to maximize the
market position of its online tournament platform.
EMPLOYEE INFORMATION
At the end of the underlying period, the Group employed 106 permanent
employees, including 23 employees in Hong Kong and 83 in the PRC. The
Group continued to review the remuneration packages of employees with
reference to the level and composition of pay, general market condition
and individual performance. Staff benefits include contribution to Mandatory

Governance Practices (“CG Code”) during the underlying period is as follows.
CG Code Deviation
A.2.1 Segregated roles of

of a CEO.
On 9 May 2007, a CEO was appointed
to the Board.
A.4.1 Non-executive directors
should be appointed for
a specific term, subject
to re-election
Before 9 May 2007, all Independent
Non-executive Directors (“INED(s)”)
were not appointed for a specific
term but were subject to retirement by
rotation at the annual general meeting
in accordance with the Company’s
Bye-laws.
With effect from 9 May 2007, all INEDs
and Non-executive Directors (“NED(s)”)
shall retire but be eligible for re-election

committee should be
set up with majority
