CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE” AND THE “GEM”, RESPECTIVELY)
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 of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and the Stock Exchange take no responsibility for the contents of this report, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this report.
This report, for which the directors of EDICO Holdings Limited (the “ Company ” or “ EDICO ” and the “ Directors ”, respectively) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM 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 AND OUTLOOK
During the three months ended 31st December 2022, the revenue of the Group increased by approximately 4.0% as compared to that of the same period of last year, which was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue generated from (i) periodical reporting documents of HK$1.2 million from approximately HK$2.2 million for the three months ended 31st December 2021 to approximately HK$3.4 million for the three months ended 31st December 2022 and (ii) miscellaneous and marketing collaterals segment of HK$0.5 million from approximately HK$0.1 million for the three months ended 31st December 2021 to approximately HK$0.6 million for the three months ended 31st December 2022; whereas the revenue generated from (iii) listing-related documents decreased by HK$0.5 million from approximately HK$1.8 million for the three months ended 31st December 2021 to approximately HK$1.3 million for the three months ended 31st December 2022 and (iv) compliance documents decreased by approximately HK$0.9 million from approximately HK$3.4 million for the three months ended 31st December 2021 to approximately HK$2.5 million for the three months ended 31st December 2022.
Upon the good news of border opening between Hong Kong and China. The opening marks a step in Hong Kong’s bid to rebuild its reputation as a financial hub connecting mainland China and the rest of the world. In the view that Hong Kong is on the way of returning to normality, which will help the city to retain its global financial hub status. The outlook of Hong Kong IPO market in long term stays positive on the back of strong IPO pipeline from biotech and homecoming listings. Local authorities are now reviewing the rules needed to accommodate listings of specialist technology enterprises that are still in their early stages of commercialization. EDICO has already laid solid foundation over the years to provide the best financial printing services in Hong Kong and we are able to capitalize any market opportunities once the demand for premium financial printing services resumed. Furthermore, we will explore the opportunities in new and innovative industries from Greater China and Southeast Asia for business expansions. Most importantly, we will continue to maintain our premium financial printing services model to our trusted customers in all times and create the long-term values of the shareholders.
