Summary:

  • Expected Net Loss: The Group anticipates a consolidated net loss between HK$52.0 million and HK$76.0 million for the nine months ending December 31, 2024, a significant improvement compared to the HK$169.0 million net loss reported for the year ending March 31, 2024.

  • Contributing Factors to Reduced Loss:

    • Exchange Loss: Decrease in exchange loss due to reduced depreciation of the Renminbi against the Hong Kong dollar during the period.
    • Finance Costs: Lower finance costs resulting from a reduced weighted average effective interest rate.
    • Impairment Reversals: Net impairment reversals of certain trade receivables, contrasting with net impairment losses in the previous year.
    • Staff Costs: Reduction in staff costs following proactive review and streamlining of the Group's cost structure to enhance capital efficiency.
  • Trading Suspension: Trading in the Company's shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has been suspended since September 30, 2024, pending fulfillment of resumption guidance and approval for trading resumption.
