Mr. He Yu, Chief Executive Officer of Kuke Music Holding Limited, commented, "We are encouraged with our business momentum as we successfully execute on a major element of our growth strategy. We have already secured contracts with more than 200 public schools through 2022. However, we believe we are just starting to scratch the surface. When you consider there are 500,000 primary and secondary schools across China, the length of the runway opportunity in front of us is significant. In addition to demand being generated by the high quality of our learning and teaching products, we are benefitting from increasing attention in China to fine arts education and school funding.

"We developed our product over several years, working in concert with industry luminaries, teachers and students to make our products robust and effective. We also benefit from our strategic partners, such as Naxos, People's Music Publishing House and Shanghai Music Publishing House, which allows us to provide students with a wealth of unique copyright resources, digital music sheets and other visual content. Our goal is to create value for shareholders by building a leading market share for public school smart music learning products and services."
