 from upfront payment and other installments is recognized based on the point in time either (a) at the time of completion; or (b) lapse of the FA contract.

For FA services to clients pursuing listing on other stock exchange, the Group enters into a distinct contract with its clients. The revenues are generally based on the fixed fee billing arrangements that require the clients to pay a pre-established fee in exchange for a predetermined set of professional services. The clients agree to pay a fixed fee by instalments over the contract terms as specified in the service agreements. The FA services include assisting the client to engage different professional parties for its listing exercise, advising on reorganization, financial reporting, internal control and legal and compliance, advising on the market position of the Group, coordinating roadshow and marketing activities. There are generally three performance obligations while fee is paid by the Group’s clients by instalments subject to each milestone being achieved as stated in the contract.

The entire service fee from clients is non-refundable and the Group is entitled to receive upfront payment upon signing the contract. As the preparation stage of a listing application involves a series of tasks which are interrelated and are not separable or distinct as the Group’s clients cannot benefit from any standalone task, the Group concludes the stage of submission of listing application as the first performance obligation and recognizes the revenue from upfront payment and fee received upon submission of listing application together at the time of submission of listing application. In some cases, the payment upon signing of the contract is for FA services (i) up to a time limit (which is stated in the contract); or (ii) upon the submission of a listing application, whichever is earlier. In the case when the time is reached without a submission of listing application being made, the Group concludes this time as the first performance obligation and recognizes revenue from upfront payment and fee received accordingly. For projects which the Group receives upfront payment upon signing the contract, but no listing application is submitted by the expiry of the contract, the Group recognizes revenue from the upfront payment at the lapse of contract.

For service fee received upon listing, which is the third performance obligation, revenue is recognized upon completion of the FA service, which is evidenced by listing of the clients.

In some cases, the Group is entitled to the discretionary bonus only upon listing, amount of which is to be decided by the clients. The Group accounts for the discretionary bonus as variable consideration. The amount of such variable consideration should not be included in the transaction price, since it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue
