CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE "STOCK EXCHANGE")
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
This report, for which the directors (the "Directors") of Bortex Global Limited (the "Company") collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange (the "GEM Listing Rules") for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this report is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this report misleading.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Business Review
During the six months ended 31 October 2025 (the "Period"), the revenue was approximately HK$22.9 million, which represented an increase of approximately HK$2.5 million, or 12.3% if compared to revenue of approximately HK$20.4 million for the six months ended 31 October 2024. In recent years, consumers have become increasingly concerned about environmental issues, they are shifting more rapidly to energy-efficient and smart lighting solutions. The increased in revenue during the period was primarily drivers by better performance in the markets of Canada and Hong Kong.
The revenue in Canada of the LED decorative lightings products was approximately HK$18.3 million during the Period, which increased by approximately HK$4.0 million, or 28.0% compared to the revenue of approximately HK$14.3 million for the period ended 31 October 2024. The revenue in the Canada customer increased during the Period which is mainly attributable to the customer forecast increase in the demand and sales of indoor decorative lightings to household users during the Christmas seasons due to the favourable trends in home renovations.
Prospect
Since the epidemic, China's economic recovery has been slower than other countries, causing many companies close down or reduce their production scale. The management believed that, with the support of monetary policy China's manufacturing and infrastructure investment growth is expected to accelerate in 2025, and investment will become an important force supporting economic growth.
The equity market is likely to remain volatile because of the US Federal Reserve continues to adjust interest rates. In the event of the cost of capital has risen, it will cause unprecedented difficulties in business operations.
