Summary:
-
Revenue for the nine months ended 30 September 2025 jumped to US$1.23 million (from US$0.05m in 9M2024), mainly from successful Korean remake "YOU ARE THE APPLE OF MY EYE."
-
Cost of sales ballooned to US$2.67 million due to production costs for the same film release; gross loss for the period was US$1.45 million.
-
Net loss widened to US$2.83 million (from US$2.04m); basic/diluted loss per share at 15.39 US cents, reflecting ongoing sector softness and one-off losses at the group’s associate SMGL.
-
Operating cash flow negative US$0.88 million; cash reserves at period-end were US$0.11 million.
-
Current assets at US$3.99 million; net asset value per share at US$0.95 (post 100-for-1 share consolidation in June 2025).
-
Administrative and other expenses cut 53% and 88% Y/Y, but foreign exchange gains offset by production and associate losses.
-
No dividend declared; Board plans to preserve cash and seek institutional funding, M&A, or strategic partnerships.
-
Industry outlook: Korean content sector remains challenging due to stagnant growth, high production costs, slow content cycles, and competition for quality projects. Board is open to shifting strategic focus or synergistic M&A as recovery options.
