2 Analyst: Mark Po, CFA; Tel: (852) ; May 4, 2016 VR/AR remains a hot investment theme. Internet Plus, Artificial Intelligence and VR/AR are hot topics in China s Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) sector. China Galaxy Securities held a Virtual Reality (VR) & Augmented Reality (AR) Industry Conference in Shanghai and Beijing in April 2016, attracting participants from government, hardware developers, content providers, an internet giant, an esports platform, and theme park and VR experience store operators. The China Galaxy Securities electronics team believes that it will take time for the VR/AR industry as a whole to take off and that now is the critical point to switch from the B-side applications to the C-side market. The whole VR/AR industry has a wide supply chain, which offers growth potential for many Chinese companies, including component suppliers, and theme park and VR experience store operators. On the hardware side, suppliers in areas such as ODM, chips, AMOLED, micro-projectors, sensors, cameras and optical lenses have room to grow. Games and videos are two areas that will see faster adoption of VR technology within the content production segment. Integrated game developers, internet cafes, VR experience stores and theme park operators will see explosive growth in the near term. Hardware development is attracting market attention. Hardware development is critical for the whole VR/AR industry, and the leading IT companies, such as Vive, Oculus, GearVR and Hololenshave, been releasing VR hardware. All participants in the China Galaxy Securities VR/AR Industry Conference agreed that the whole VR/AR Industry is still at an early stage of development. Development of VR is faster than that of AR in China, given the availability of hardware. Despite the fact that some hardware developers started R&D on VR technology as early as 2010, the market is relative small at this stage. The leading hardware developers believe that the current VR technology for B2B applications is at an early stage and that it will take several years for it to become more mature. The quality of some VR contents produced through 360-degree cameras can t give users a true sense of immersion. The building of the VR ecosystem requires both hardware and software. Compared with other electronics products, such as wearable devices, the market, including both industry players and the investment community, believes that VR/AR industry will take off as VR/AR-based products offer a good user experience. Both hardware and content developers are working together to build up the ecosystem. Hardware requirements are much higher for AR development than for VR, so AR take-off will take much longer. esport is growing fast in China. Games, videos, education and tourism are areas which will see faster adoption of VR technology. The application of VR technology in videos is less dependent on hardware, so the video segment is expected to report explosive growth in VR-based content. The increasing popularity of VR hardware will create demand for VR content. According to the management of the esports platform, there were 4,000 esports matches in China with a total prize pool of US$65m (RMB421m). There is huge potential for VR-based esports. The esports platform will invest in offline outlets such as a VR experience store and an esports club to promote VR-based esports products and services. However, there is not much AR-related content at this stage. The experience store and theme park segment in China is also growing fast. One film producer said it will invest in a series of films with VR content. The investment cost per film ranges from RMB40m to RMB300m, but the Company believes that the IP derivate content (VR) and products (toys) will generate worthwhile returns. The film has also operated a VR experience store in Shanghai since beginning of Based on a survey it conducted and operating statistics, VR is still a very new concept to its visitors. About 59% of visitors expressed interest in buying VR hardware. About 67% of visitors replied that VR-based games offered a good user experience, with an overall rating of 8.6. There are dozens of visitors buying tickets on-site every day, which indicates there is keen interest in VR-based content in China. The film producer also received enquiries from potential business partners regarding the use of VR technology in producing VR based-content for education, training and exhibition purposes. According to a local hardware developer, offline channels, such as VR experience stores and theme parks, are critical for promoting VR/AR based products and content given the expensive hardware at the early stage of development. However, it is difficult for smallscale VR experience stores which offer service only to individual visitors to grow as they can t offer an interactive experience among visitors. Wireless communication, high-frequency and high-resolution displays and accurate positioning systems are required to offer a good user experience to visitors. Experience stores can be classified by floor area: a) entry grade stores with a floor area less than 15m 2, b) 15-50m 2, which is a bit small for multi-user games or other content, c) floor area of about 30m 2, with an investment cost of RMB600,000, and d) 50-1,600m 2 which can offer an interactive experience to all visitors at the same time. 2

3 Analyst: Mark Po, CFA; Tel: (852) ; May 4, 2016 The AR industry is also growing fast in China. According to an AR platform in China, there were over 300 enterprises and 54,000 individual AR developers registered as at the end of Dec The AR platform was established in 2012 to promote AR in China through co-operation with overseas AR participants, such as Total Immersion, Metaio and Yuforia. The AR platform has reported a significant increase in the number of partners since It formed a strategic alliance with Lenovo and became the advisor to a VR/AR international education platform in China. AR development in China is more hardware-related at this stage. The CPUs used in AR products are either x86 based or ARM based. AR glass products are still at premature stage, and hardware developers include Google, Vuzix, Lenovo, IV Glass and Realmax. AR development is not as hot as VR in China at this stage, but the AR platform believes that AR has huge potential and is a more natural extension of the smartphone. Since smartphones are replacing PCs, AR development will offer more upside than VR in the long run. Government policy is supportive. An official from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) highlighted that VR/AR industry development is an important part of artificial intelligence development in China, and that the VR/AR industry is expected to generate annual sales of over RMB100bn eventually. The MIIT began pushing VR/AR in 2014, studying 3D technology, which offers a highly immersive feeling and a greater visual and auditory impact for users. The MIIT is supporting other ministries to formulate a policy to promote the development of VR technology. The MIIT proposed that VR/AR technology development be part of the government s Internet Plus policy. The MIIT is also formulating a policy to encourage innovation in VR/AR hardware development. Through these measures, the MIIT wants to push the government to strengthen its focus on the VR industry. VR technology development started in the 1960 s and has been adopted in military, aviation/aerospace and some systems platforms. Now, with recent advances in hardware and software, VR technology has been applied in consumer products. VR is a hot topic in China, and there are over 300 companies involved in it. The MIIT believes that there is great potential for improvement in VR hardware. The MIIT has visited some of the VR equipment and component manufacturers and shares the view that the local supply chain needs further technical breakthroughs. VR content is relatively scarce in China, given the high production costs. To promote the development of the VR industry, the MIIT will formulate an industry standard and introduce private capital. The MIIT believes that standards and policies are critical for the development of the VR industry in China. Chinese suppliers have an advantage in component manufacturing. Some of the participants believe that US companies are still the leaders in VR/AR technology, and that Chinese companies will have a competitive advantage only when VR technology becomes more mature. In terms of manufacturing and assembly, Vive and Oculus are manufactured in China. Chinese companies have advantages in some components, but the supply chain as a whole is not as competitive as that of other countries. However, China is a sizeable market, which can support local hardware developers. China also has a good telecommunications infrastructure, which forms a good foundation for building up a VR ecosystem. At this stage, there are no AR-related names listed in HK, where AR technology development lags behind VR technology. We see increasing adoption of VR technology in different areas, such as entertainment (games, films and video), education and exhibitions. Potential beneficiaries of the take-off of the VR/AR industry as a whole include hardware manufacturers (components, PC-based and other headsets), content producers, solutions providers, and experience store and theme park operators. Government policy is also supportive to the development of VR/AR-related products and services, as MIIT is taking the lead in formulating policy for promoting the VR/AR industry. Shares of VR-related names have performed well recently despite a broad-based market correction, given the increasing market attention. The VR-related names are expected to continue to outperform the market given supportive government policy and increasing investment in VR technology by Chinese companies, including both hardware and software. HK-listed VR plays include China Animation [1566.HK], Digital Domain [0547.HK], Net Dragon [0777.HK], Sunny Optical [2382.HK], Truly [0732.HK] and Tencent [0700.HK]. China Animation is an experienced store operator in China. Digital Domain is a content provider. We might see a breakthrough in video by Digital Domain, as the online video platforms are getting more aggressive in attracting traffic. We expect Digital Domain to release its corporate strategy and roadmap in the coming months, which will attract market attention. Net Dragons is building a VR library that owns VR content for educational purposes and for enhancing the learning experience. Net Dragons also increased its stake in a VR technology company, AHRT, which owns the leading technology in digital human holograms. Net Dragons formed a JV with AHRT in selected Asia-Pacific markets. Net Dragons plans to adopt AHRT s VR technology to enrich its online game and education solution offerings. On the hardware side, Sunny Optical is the module supplier for HTC s Vive, which will be one of the major beneficiaries of increasing demand for VR hardware. Truly has first-mover advantage in AMOLED technology, and the Company s AMOLED production line will commence production later this year. Truly will invest further in expanding its AMOLED capacity going forward. Truly is also one of the beneficiaries of increasing shipments of fingerprint sensors. Tencent is developing in-house VR hardware and the Company is a mobile game publisher and distributor with a dominant market share. 3
