In the first half of 2022, the Group successfully responded to challenges such as the protracted pandemic and supply chain fluctuations, and has maintained its competitiveness in the field of secure payment. The Group turned challenges into opportunities for growth by promoting the digitalization and platform-based strategy. During the period, due to the steady development of the global credit card market and larger-scale deployment of the third-generation social security cards in China, the Group achieved revenue of RMB 709 million, a year-on-year increase of 14.5%. The recorded profit for the period was approximately RMB 78 million, a year-on-year increase of 14.8%.

The protracted pandemic in China core cities such as Beijing and Shanghai has adversely affected, the supply chain of the Group's platform and service segment and implementation of projects, and revenue decreased by 5.4% year-on-year to 245 million. However, the Group endeavors to build up its UMV platform to create a vibrant ecosystem for the payment industry, where industry participants such as banks, credit card organizations, suppliers and end users actively interact to promote the continuous innovation of secure payment products and the secure payment industry.
For the period, the UMV platform has entered contracts with nearly 30 banks and successfully expanded to the public transportation sector. Meanwhile, the Group is actively promoting the application of A.I. self-service kiosks in the field of livelihood services, social security, transportation and retail amongst others, and is extending their use to a wider range of "contact-free" services. The Group believes that the platform and service segment will soon recover from the impact of the pandemic.
