The acquired company, 5Gen Care and 5GenCare.com Limited, were incorporated in Hong Kong during 2020 to 2022. They are software development companies offering fully integrated, stable and secure end-to-end solutions for IoVT. Their services enable electronic devices to go online and build mobile applications for remote control and management. The end-to-end solutions includes firmware, cloud connectivity software, and application software development services and it sells UDID (Unique Device Identification) to each of electronic device and provides corresponding services. 5Gen Care currently serves numerous customers, including multinational brand, with its solutions installed in hundreds of thousands of devices worldwide. It has recently initiated a user subscription model for paid features, which has shown initial success.
被收購的公司5Gen Care和5GenCare.com Limited於2020年至2022年在香港註冊成立。他們是軟件開發公司，爲IoVT提供完全集成、穩定和安全的端到端解決方案。他們的服務使電子設備能夠聯機並構建用於遠程控制和管理的移動應用程序。端到端解決方案包括固件、雲連接軟件和應用軟件開發服務，它向每臺電子設備銷售UDID（唯一設備識別）並提供相應的服務。5Gen Care目前爲包括跨國品牌在內的衆多客戶提供服務，其解決方案安裝在全球數十萬臺設備上。它最近啓動了付費功能的用戶訂閱模式，該模式取得了初步成功。
Chillax and its group companies, were founded in Hong Kong during 2021 to 2022, are principally engaged in selling baby monitor to mobile devices under the brand, "Chillax" in North America.
Chillax及其集團公司於2021年至2022年在香港成立，主要在北美以 “Chillax” 品牌向移動設備銷售嬰兒監視器。
Upon completion of the acquisitions, 5Gen Care and Chillax, along with their respective group companies, will become indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
收購完成後，5Gen Care和Chillax及其各自的集團公司將成爲公司的間接全資子公司。
The Group believes the acquisitions will be transformative, and will set the stage for enhanced market presence, diversified products and services and accelerated innovation. The Group expects the strategic integrations will not only solidify its position in existing markets, but also open up new avenues for growth and customer engagement.
集團認爲，這些收購將帶來變革性，並將爲增強市場佔有率、多元化產品和服務以及加速創新奠定基礎。集團預計，戰略整合不僅將鞏固其在現有市場的地位，而且還將爲增長和客戶參與開闢新的途徑。
At a commercial level, the Group is set to grow through the acquisition of 5Gen Care and Chillax, both bringing valuable assets. 5Gen Care has developed reliable and secure IoVT software and has established a skilled research team in Hong Kong and Vietnam. Its software is widely used across many countries, and its new paid subscription service is already performing well. Chillax's baby monitors aligns perfectly with the Group's existing product roadmap and its robust online sales will help the Group's expansion into online business. Simultaneously, the Group will use its retail strength to boost Chillax's sales. With Chillax operating primarily in the USA and the Group mostly in Europe, this move represents a smart step toward growing the business in new markets.
在商業層面，集團將通過收購5Gen Care和Chillax實現增長，兩者都帶來了寶貴的資產。5Gen Care開發了可靠和安全的IoVT軟件，並在香港和越南建立了一支熟練的研究團隊。它的軟件在許多國家被廣泛使用，其新的付費訂閱服務已經表現良好。Chillax的嬰兒監視器完全符合集團現有的產品路線圖，其強勁的在線銷售將有助於集團向在線業務擴張。同時，該集團將利用其零售實力來提高Chillax的銷售額。由於Chillax主要在美國運營，集團主要在歐洲運營，此舉是朝着在新市場發展業務邁出的明智一步。
From operation perspective, by leveraging Atlinks' production and logistics capabilities, the Group expects to achieve greater cost efficiency and operational effectiveness. This strategic integration is anticipated to reduce costs and enhance the overall efficiency for Chillax products, ultimately benefiting the bottom line.
從運營角度來看，通過利用Atlinks的生產和物流能力，集團希望實現更高的成本效率和運營效率。預計這種戰略整合將降低成本並提高Chillax產品的整體效率，最終使利潤受益。
For technology aspects, the merger of the R&D teams from both companies will accelerate innovation and adaptability. This synergistic collaboration aims at both developing cost-effective solutions and flexibility that meet the needs of both the baby and senior care markets. The combined expertise and resources are expected to lead to faster innovation cycles, better product offerings, and an enhanced ability to adapt to market changes.
在技術方面，兩家公司的研發團隊的合併將加速創新和適應性。這種協同合作旨在開發具有成本效益的解決方案和靈活性，以滿足嬰兒和老年護理市場的需求。專業知識和資源的結合預計將加快創新週期、更好的產品供應和增強適應市場變化的能力。
Mr. Tong added, "Looking forward, the Group expects to utilise the Group's R&D capability and to apply AI and IoVT to other fields to further enrich our product lines, particularly in smart devices beyond telecommunications, senior and baby monitor markets. Our mission is to develop innovative and smart video streaming products characterized by advanced features, durability, reliability, safety and value-for-money. Our goal is to enhance the quality of life for the public through widespread access and use."
湯先生 補充說：“展望未來，集團希望利用集團的研發能力，並將人工智能和IoVT應用於其他領域，以進一步豐富我們的產品線，特別是在電信、老年人和嬰兒監視器市場以外的智能設備領域。我們的使命是開發具有先進功能、耐用性、可靠性、安全性和物有所值的創新型智能視頻流媒體產品。我們的目標是通過廣泛的獲取和使用來提高公衆的生活質量。”
