Amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards that are mandatorily effective for the current year

In the current year, the Group has applied the following amendments to an IFRS Accounting Standard as issued by the IASB for the first time, which are mandatorily effective for the Group's annual period beginning on 1 January 2025 for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:

Amendments to IAS 21 Lack of Exchangeability
The application of the amendments to an IFRS Accounting Standard in the current year has had no material impact on the Group's financial positions and performance for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

New and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective

The Group has not early applied the following new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB that have been issued but are not yet effective:

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments²
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity²
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture¹

  4. 5 -


Except for the new for IFRS Accounting Standards mentioned below, the directors of the Company anticipate that the application of other amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the foreseeable future.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which sets out requirements on presentation and disclosures in financial statements, will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This new IFRS Accounting Standard, while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1, introduces new requirements to present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial and improve aggregation and disaggregation of information to be disclosed in the financial statements. In addition, some IAS 1 paragraphs have been moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (the title of which will be changed to Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements upon effective of IFRS 18) and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure. Minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share are also made.

IFRS 18, and amendments to other standards, will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with early application permitted. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions. The application of the new standard is not expected to have significant impact on the financial performance and positions of the Group in terms of recognition and measurement. However, it is expected to affect the structure and presentation of the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

| Current income tax | | |
| - Macau Complementary Tax | 1,146 | 870 |
| Deferred taxation | 135 | (213) |
| | 1,281 | 657 |

The Group’s principal applicable taxes and tax rates are as follows:

Macau

The entities within the Group incorporated in Macau are subject to Macau Complementary Tax at progressive rates ranging from 3% to 9% on the taxable income above 32,000 Macanese Pataca (“MOP”) but below MOP300,000, and thereafter at a fixed rate of 12%. For FY2025, the Macau tax authority introduced a one-time incentive that raised the tax-exempt income ceiling from MOP32,000 to MOP600,000. Consequently, profits surpassing MOP600,000 are subject to the standard 12% fixed tax rate.

Hong Kong

Under the two-tiered profits tax rates regime of Hong Kong Profits Tax, the first HK$2 million of profits of the qualifying group entity will be taxed at 8.25%, and profits above HK$2 million will be taxed at 16.5%. The profits of group entities not qualifying for the two-tiered profits tax rates regime will continue to be taxed at a flat rate of 16.5%. Accordingly, the Hong Kong Profits Tax of the qualifying group entity is calculated at 8.25% on the first HK$2 million of the estimate assessable profits and at 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits above HK$2 million.

Chinese Mainland

Under the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax (the “EIT Law”) and Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the tax rate of subsidiaries in Chinese Mainland is 25% for both years.

  1. DIVIDEND

No dividends were paid or proposed for ordinary shareholders (the “Shareholders”) by the Company during FY2025 and FY2024, nor has any dividend been proposed at the end of the reporting period in respect of FY2025 and FY2024.


  • 10 -

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per Share is based on the Group's profit attributable to the owners of the Company of HK$8,141,000 (2024: HK$952,000) and the weighted average number of ordinary Shares calculated below.

2025 2024
Weighted average number of ordinary Shares for the purpose of basic and diluted earnings per Share 500,000,000 500,000,000

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Information technology (“IT”) solutions involve the design, supply, integration, operation and maintenance of IT systems. IT solutions could be primarily categorised into two segments, namely (i) enterprise-grade design and implementation solutions and services provided to corporate customers in which different computing systems and software applications are either physically or functionally linked together to act as a coordinated whole (“Enterprise IT solutions”) and (ii) distribution and resale of hardware and software. Enterprise IT solutions could be further grouped as (i) Professional IT services, (ii) Managed services and (iii) IT maintenance and consultancy services.

As a Macau-based leading technology company, the Group remains at the forefront of technological innovation. Leveraging our core businesses – including IT solutions, artificial intelligence (“AI”), cybersecurity, brain-computer interface (“BCI”), and engineering intelligence – we are strategically aligned with the latest global technology trends and the Macau SAR government’s evolving policies to foster a diversified economy.

Global Technology Trends Reshaping the Industry Landscape

The year 2026 marks a pivotal shift from mere AI adoption to a deep-seated integration of AI across all facets of business and society. This “AI+” phase is characterised by several key trends that directly inform the Group’s strategic direction:

(i) The Rise of Agentic AI and Engineering Intelligence

Digital transformation has evolved beyond integrating technology; it is now about cultivating “engineering intelligence.” This involves using AI not just to automate tasks, but to identify systemic bottlenecks, manage technical cost, and orchestrate complex workflows. Developers are transitioning from code producers to strategic orchestrators, managing fleets of AI agents to solve end-to-end problems. In the cybersecurity realm, this manifests as “Agentic AI,” which, while powerful, necessitates new governance and security oversight to manage expanded attack surfaces.

(ii) Cybersecurity’s Paradigm Shift – From “Intrusion” to “Login”

The threat landscape has fundamentally changed. AI has democratised high-level cybercrime, enabling attackers to use large language models (“LLM”) for real-time network mapping and sophisticated identity theft. The focus has shifted from merely blocking intrusions to rigorously verifying identities, as attackers now seek to “log in” using compromised credentials rather than “break in” through traditional vulnerabilities. This underscores the critical importance of advanced identity and access management and AI-driven threat intelligence.

  • 12 -

(iii) Practical Implementation of BCI and AI in Specialised Domains

BCI technology is rapidly evolving from experimental signal translation into dynamic bidirectional systems capable of reading, decoding, and understanding brain signals, as well as simulating or augmenting brain function. Recent technological breakthroughs in the industry have further expanded its application boundaries, particularly in the fields of therapeutic assistance and neurorehabilitation. Non-invasive acquisition techniques, such as ultrasound, are increasingly being adopted, paired with AI-powered advanced signal decoding algorithms. At the same time, in everyday scenarios, AI is shifting from passive command execution to active perception and autonomous decision-making. AI glasses are emerging as one of the key native terminals for enabling this kind of natural human-computer interaction, and they also represent an important vehicle for the future consumerisation of BCIs.

(iv) The Evolution of AI Infrastructure and Governance

As AI agents handle more core business data, enterprises are adopting a “balanced hybrid” strategy for computing power, favoring private clouds and local deployments for sensitive information. This is coupled with a growing recognition of the need for robust AI governance to manage regulatory volatility and the risks associated with generative AI.

Macau’s Strategic Policy Initiatives: A Catalyst for Growth

The Macau SAR government is proactively driving economic diversification through landmark policies that create a fertile ground for technology enterprises. The Group is poised to benefit significantly from these initiatives:

(i) Establishment of the MOP20 Billion Government Guidance Fund

In a monumental move to align with the national “15th Five-Year Plan,” the Macau government announced the establishment of a Government Guidance Fund. With an initial injection of MOP11 billion from fiscal reserves, aiming for a total scale of MOP20 billion with social capital, this fund embodies a “long-termism” and “patient capital” philosophy. It will strategically direct investments into key emerging industries, technology commercialization projects, and tech start-ups, fostering industrial upgrading and attracting quality enterprises and talent to Macau and Hengqin. As a certified “Key Technology Enterprise” and recipient of the “Merit Medal for Commerce and Industry”, the Group is ideally positioned to leverage this fund to accelerate our R&D and expansion plans.

  • 13 -

(ii) Deepening Integration with Hengqin and Cross-Border Data Pilots

The “Macau Platform + Hengqin Space” model is gaining tangible momentum. The memorandum of understanding on cross-border data cooperation, signed by the Cyberspace Administration of China and the Macau government, is now set to create new growth drivers. By leveraging Hengqin’s policy advantages, the Group anticipates accelerating cross-border data flows, creating more application scenarios for our clients, and driving demand for our technological solutions. This policy supports our works of integrating “Macau Data + Hengqin Computing Power + Greater Bay Area Application Scenarios” to assist the plan of Hengqin Government to establish an international digital trade hub.

(iii) Supporting Innovation through the “First-Store Economy” and Sector-Specific Policies

The “First-Store Economy Scheme” is actively attracting international brands with new business formats, including those with technological elements. This enriches Macau’s tourism and commerce landscape, indirectly boosting demand for the sophisticated IT and AI solutions the Group provides. Furthermore, the government’s reinforced “1+4” diversification strategy continues to emphasize technology as a core pillar, integrating it with tourism and finance to create novel visitor experiences.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Capitalising on these powerful tailwinds from both global trends and local policies, the Group is executing a clear strategy to solidify our market leadership and drive sustainable growth.

(i) IT Solutions and Engineering Intelligence: Capturing Enterprise Demand

The demand for IT solutions in the Greater Bay Area is surging as enterprises accelerate digitalisation to improve efficiency. The Group is responding by moving beyond traditional system integration. We are embedding “engineering intelligence” into our offerings. Keeping pace with the forefront of technological development, we have led the team in executing strategic initiatives in the field of artificial intelligence, independently developing a full-stack AI technology system encompassing underlying frameworks, application platforms, and end-user devices.

Enterprise IT solutions

Revenue from Enterprise IT solutions increased by approximately HK$48.1 million or 11.9% from approximately HK$402.5 million for FY2024 to approximately HK$450.5 million for FY2025. Such increase was mainly attributable to the net effect of the increase in the revenue from Professional IT services by approximately HK$16.8 million or 5.8%, the increase in the revenue from Managed services and lease income from IT equipment by approximately HK$31.6 million or 51.7% and the decrease in the revenue from IT maintenance and consultancy services by approximately HK$0.4 million or 0.7%.

The increase in revenue from Professional IT services was mainly due to the Group entered into several contracts with large contract sum and substantially completed during FY2025, of which the revenue contributed significant portion of revenue from Professional IT services during FY2025. The increase in revenue from Managed services and lease income from IT equipment was mainly due to the effect of the renewed contracts in relation to private cloud as a service (“PCaaS”) during FY2025.

In response to the opportunities from the substantial investments by gaming concessionaires in non-gaming, smart venue technologies as well as the broader digital transformation across all sectors, the Group will continuously expand our product range and enhance solutions with the advanced technological driven analytics. During early of 2026, the Group was awarded a Professional IT services contract by one of six gaming operators in Macau amounting to approximately US$8.6 million, which the project will start from the second quarter of 2026. Looking ahead, the Group is well-positioned to capitalise on the sustained investments by gaming concessionaires in non-gaming and smart venue initiatives. The commencement of the approximately US$8.6 million Professional IT services project in the second quarter of 2026 is expected to contribute meaningfully to the Group’s revenue base, enhance earnings visibility, and further strengthen the Group’s leadership in delivering large-scale digital transformation solutions.

Meanwhile, with the rapid growth in the uses of AI, the Group plans to leverage these technologies to develop new services such as AI as a service (“AIaaS”), which is a cloud-based offering that enables businesses to integrate artificial intelligence capabilities into their applications through pre-built tools, APIs, and machine learning models on a pay-as-you-go basis, eliminating the need to build and maintain their own AI infrastructure while making advanced AI technology accessible, cost-effective, and scalable for organisations of all sizes.

Overreliance on major customers in Macau

The Group generates most of its revenue from enterprises operating in the gaming and hospitality, government, and technology, media, and telecommunications sectors in Macau. Any deterioration in Macau's economic, social, or political conditions could harm the Group's overall performance, as Macau remains the primary market.

To mitigate concentration risk, the Group is executing a strategy focused on geographic expansion and business development with customers beyond gaming and hospitality. Leveraging proven expertise and track record in Macau's market, the Group is capturing new customers and securing contracts in Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong through expanded sales and marketing efforts. The team closely monitors Hengqin-Macau policies, utilising support for Macau-funded enterprises to drive expansion in Hengqin, while also exploring opportunities in overseas markets including the Middle East and Portuguese-speaking countries.

Aligning with the Macau SAR Government's "1+4" diversification strategy, the Group is targeting emerging sectors such as "Big Health", modern financial services, high technology, and conference and exhibitions to reduce reliance on gaming and hospitality-related customers. Through expanded sales and marketing efforts in new geographic markets, relationships are being built with enterprises across a wider range of industries, positioning the Group to serve customers in sectors such as healthcare, retail, financial services, and public services, both within and outside Macau. Through these combined strategies, the Group aims to build a more resilient and diversified revenue portfolio, reducing vulnerability to adverse conditions in any single market or sector.

Uncertainties related to overruns and/or delays in projects

The Group's IT solution projects typically have durations ranging from 1 to 5 years. Various factors, including technical challenges or resource constraints, may affect project schedules and costs. Delays could lead to penalty clauses, additional unbudgeted costs, or project termination, materially affecting business and financial performance.

Robust project management controls mitigate this risk. A structured project governance framework is established for each engagement, with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and escalation procedures. Project managers conduct regular reviews comparing budgeted costs against actual expenditure, and regular status meetings identify potential delays early. Technology-enabled dashboards track real-time progress and resource allocation.


During project initiation, risk assessments are conducted and contingency plans developed, including buffer time and budget reserves for high-risk activities. Given that delays can arise from third-party suppliers, an approved vendor list is maintained with regular performance evaluations, and contracts include clear service level agreements to ensure timely delivery. When overrun risk is identified, management acts promptly to allocate appropriate additional resources. Transparent communication with clients is maintained throughout the project lifecycle, with any potential delays or scope changes communicated early and formally documented. Upon project completion, post-implementation reviews capture lessons learned to continuously improve project estimation and execution capabilities.

The Board will continue to monitor the above risks and update the Group’s risk management strategies as necessary to safeguard the interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

The Directors recognise the importance of incorporating elements of good corporate governance in the management structures and internal control procedures of the Group so as to achieve effective accountability.

The Directors consider that the deviation from code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code is appropriate in such circumstances. Notwithstanding the above, the Board is of the view that the current management structure is effective for the operations, and sufficient checks and balances are in place. The Board will continue to review the effectiveness of the corporate governance structure of the Company in order to assess whether separation of the roles of chairman of the Board and chief executive officer is necessary.
