7. Taxation

Under the two-tiered profits tax rates regime of Hong Kong Profits Tax, the first HK$2.0 million of profits of the qualifying group entity will be taxed at 8.25%, and profits above HK$2.0 million will be taxed at 16.5%. The profits of other group entities in Hong Kong not qualifying for the two-tiered profits tax rates regime will 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$2.0 million of the estimated assessable profits and at 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits above HK$2.0 million.

The PRC EIT was calculated at the statutory income tax rate of 25% (2024: 25%) on the assessable profits.

During the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024, no Macau Complementary Income Tax has been provided since there were no assessable profits generated.

Taxation on profits generated outside Hong Kong has been calculated on the estimated assessable profits for the year at the rates of taxation prevailing in the countries/places in which the Group operates.

The amount of tax charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income represents:

(ii) the issued share capital of the Company would be reduced by cancelling the paid-up capital to the extent of HK$0.09 on each of the then issued existing preference shares (i.e. the non-voting convertible preference share(s) of par value of HK$0.1 each in the share capital of the Company prior to the Capital Reorganization becoming effective) such that the par value of each issued existing preference share would be reduced from HK$0.1 to HK$0.01.

Share sub-division

Immediately following the capital reduction

(i) each of the authorized but unissued existing ordinary shares of par value of HK$0.1 each would be sub-divided into ten authorized but unissued new ordinary shares (i.e. the ordinary share(s) of par value HK$0.01 each in the issued and unissued share capital of the Company upon the Capital Reorganization becoming effective) of par value of HK$0.01 each; and

(ii) each of the authorized but unissued existing preference shares of par value of HK$0.1 each would be sub-divided into ten authorized but unissued new preference shares (i.e. the non-voting convertible preference share(s) of par value HK$0.01 each in the issued and unissued share capital of the Company upon the Capital Reorganization becoming effective) of par value of HK$0.01 each.

The Capital Reorganization had been completed and effective on 9 April 2025.

(b) On 8 May 2025, a rights issue on the basis of one rights share for every two existing ordinary shares of the Company held by qualifying shareholders (i.e. shareholder(s) whose name(s) appear(s) on the register of members of the Company on the 2 May 2025, other than the non-qualifying shareholder(s)) on the record date (i.e. 2 May 2025) at a subscription price of HK$0.051 per rights share each was announced by the Company.

The Group reported consolidated revenue of approximately HK$153.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the "Reporting Year"), representing a 45.5% increase compared with that of approximately HK$105.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the "Corresponding Year"). Gross profit increased from approximately HK$9.3 million in the Corresponding Year to approximately HK$20.6 million in the Reporting Year. The gross profit margin improved by 4.6 percentage points, from 8.8% to 13.4%, primarily due to cost savings achieved on certain subcontracted projects where subcontractors agreed to accept reduced final payments for their works performed.

The Group's performance was adversely affected by substantial costs incurred in relation to arbitration cases and a litigation case associated with previously completed projects of the interiors and special projects business ("ISP Business"). Hearings for both the arbitration cases and the litigation case were conducted during 2025, resulting in significant legal and professional expenses for their preparation and attendance.

The deteriorating and uncertain business environment in Hong Kong, combined with tightened liquidity conditions among prominent developers, also contributed to elevated credit risk during the Reporting Year. As a result, the Group made significant bad debt and expected credit loss provisions to mitigate its increased exposure.

Due to the aforementioned factors, the Group's operating expenses increased by 64.0%, from approximately HK$48.9 million in the Corresponding Year to approximately HK$80.2 million in the Reporting Year.


Meanwhile, other income and gains increased from approximately HK$6.1 million in the Corresponding Year to approximately HK$10.6 million in the Reporting Year. This increase was mainly attributable to interest income from restricted cash pledged for performance bonds issued by Falcon Insurance Company (Hong Kong) Limited, and a fair value gain on financial assets recognized during the Reporting Year.

Taking into consideration the various factors above, the Group recorded a loss attributable to equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$49.0 million for the Reporting Year, compared with approximately HK$33.5 million in the Corresponding Year. Basic loss per share of the Company was 7.9 HK cents for the Reporting Year (2024: 6.3 HK cents (Restated)).

Business Results

ISP Business

ISP Business continued to serve as the Group's principal revenue driver, consistently contributing over 90% of revenue to the Group in recent years. Established in 2006 and acquired by the Group in 2012, the ISP Business now has a 19-year operational history. Since its acquisition in late 2012, the ISP Business has successfully completed over 274 projects with a cumulative contract value exceeding HK$9.3 billion as at 31 December 2025. These projects span a comprehensive range of services for local clients, including interior design, fitting-out, renovation and conservation, addition and alteration works ("A&A works"), construction, maintenance, and buildability and feasibility studies for building-related projects.


Throughout 2025, Hong Kong's construction industry remained broadly stable. Government-driven development initiatives, public housing, and green infrastructure programmes together with the Northern Metropolis development, continued to underpin overall sector activity. Nevertheless, the operating environment was affected by persistent manpower shortages in key trades, elevated material and subcontracting costs, and increasingly stringent regulatory, safety and environmental compliance requirements following the fatal Wang Fuk Court fire. These conditions created cost and schedule pressures across project categories and continued to shape the industry's overall risk profile.

Despite these unfavourable conditions, the ISP Business demonstrated resilience by leveraging strong client relationships, capitalizing on its proven track record, and successfully securing new projects. A key achievement during the Reporting Year was the award of two projects at Middle Gap Road from two existing developer clients. One of these projects comprised a proposed residential development, while the other comprised nominated subcontractor works, including stone cladding installation and the installation of windows, metal cladding, glass balustrades, and louvres. These awards reaffirmed client confidence in the Group's execution capability.

In addition to these significant new projects, the ISP Business secured several small-scale renovation projects for both commercial and residential units from returning clients. These repeat engagements underscored ongoing satisfaction with the Group's service quality and past performance. The segment further expanded its portfolio by securing a new hoarding, demolition and A&A works contract, as well as a renovation contract for an ex-laundry building for a monastery in Causeway Bay, strengthening the Group's presence in the religious sector. Separately, the team also commenced a bespoke yacht renovation project for another long-standing client, demonstrating the Group's ability to deliver tailored solutions across diverse asset categories.

During the Reporting Year, the ISP Business secured new contracts with a total value exceeding HK$168.3 million, maintaining stable performance comparable to the Corresponding Year. These awards highlighted the Group's adaptability and its ongoing commitment to delivering high service standards in a competitive market.

Building on this momentum, the ISP Business will continue to adopt a balanced approach by remaining proactive in tendering while exercising prudent risk management in response to market uncertainties. As at 31 December 2025, the total outstanding contract value amounted to approximately HK$173.5 million, with the related revenue expected to be recognized in the following year.

Furthermore, as of the date of this announcement, the ISP Business has maintained a robust pipeline of potential tenders, some of which have been submitted pending results. This pipeline includes new-build, fitting-out and A&A projects with a combined potential contract sum of approximately HK$735.0 million. Successful awards could enrich the Group's order and, together with existing outstanding contracts on hand, lay a solid foundation for meaningful revenue contributions for the next two years.

  • 22 -

During the Reporting Year, the Group remained committed to overcoming the challenges it faced and continued to implement targeted cost-control measures while maintaining high service standards across its project portfolio. These efforts supported a stable recovery trajectory for the ISP Business. The segment achieved several notable milestones, including the completion of two proposed residential development projects at Bisney Road and Headland Road, as well as the delivery of interiors and finishing works for a modular integrated construction project and A&A works for an international school in Homantin. These achievements reflect the Group’s operational capability and sustained commitment to quality, despite a volatile and challenging market environment.

During the Reporting Year, the ISP Business generated revenue of approximately HK$149.2 million, representing a 51.2% increase compared with approximately HK$98.7 million last year. This improvement was driven primarily by workload replenishment from new contracts secured in both the current and prior periods, which mitigated the impact of the completion of several substantial projects and moderated natural fluctuations in project-cycle.

Gross profit recorded an even more notable improvement, increasing 254.2% from approximately HK$4.8 million last year to approximately HK$17.0 million for the Reporting Year. This robust growth reflected improved operational efficiency and cost savings achieved on certain subcontracted projects, where subcontractors agreed to accept reduced final payments for their performed works.

On the other hand, the Group incurred substantial costs related to the completed arbitration and litigation hearings that were concluded during the Reporting Year. In addition, the deteriorating business environment in Hong Kong, particularly financial instability among major developers led to heightened credit risk across the construction sector. To address the potential risk of default, the Group made significant provisions for bad debts and expected credit losses on both receivables and contract assets, leading to an 80.9% increase in operating expenses to approximately HK$70.2 million for the Reporting Year. As a result, the ISP Business recorded an operating loss of approximately HK$53.2 million, compared with approximately HK$34.0 million last year. After accounting for other income, the ISP Business recorded a net loss of approximately HK$53.0 million for the Reporting Year.

Going forward, the Group expects the operating environment in the coming year to remain generally stable, supported by continued public-works investment, progress under the Northern Metropolis development framework, and gradual recovery in certain residential and commercial renovation segments. Labour availability may improve as government-led initiatives promoting technology adoption and manpower expansion take effect, while supply chain pressures are expected to ease. However, market visibility remains limited due to persistent shortages in specific trades, rising regulatory and safety compliance requirements, potential delays in project approvals or cashflow timing driven by fiscal considerations, and increasingly competitive tendering conditions.

In response to a market environment characterized by both risks and emerging opportunities, our ISP Business is adopting a proactive, multi-pronged strategy aimed at ensuring timely delivery of ongoing projects while upholding high client satisfaction. The segment will prioritize managing key risks, including labour shortages and cost inflation, heightened compliance requirements, volatility in material and subcontracting prices, potential delays in project funding or approvals, and intensifying tender competition.

  • 23 -

At the same time, the Group will maintain cautious and disciplined bidding practices to balance workload replenishment with margin protection amid competitive market conditions. The ISP Business will further strengthen its sector-focused approach by concentrating on its core competencies in luxury residential development and high-end fitting-out. Beyond this, the business will pursue extension works from existing clients and expand its portfolio by targeting renovation opportunities in the hospitality sector, leveraging established relationships and proven technical capabilities. The Group will also explore emerging niche opportunities as construction and fitting-out demand shows some signs of recovery. This strategic approach enables the Group to maintain operational momentum, strengthen its market position, drive sustainable growth, and steer through current market headwinds.

Building on our enhanced financial resources, a long-established industry reputation, extensive experience, and a proven track record in the industry, the Group maintains strong confidence in the prospects of the ISP Business. Given the Group's positive outlook, including a satisfactory level of contracts on hand, recent tender submissions, and a robust pipeline of sizable tenders planned for the coming year, our Directors anticipate considerable business opportunities and renewed market momentum in the year ahead. Backed by a robust foundation and proactive tendering strategy, the ISP Business is well positioned to secure new contracts, meet evolving market needs and deliver steady, sustainable growth in the near term.

PFM China Business

In 2025, the PFM China Business operated within a challenging and uncertain environment. While long-term structural drivers such as urbanization, gradual recovery across industrial and commercial segments, and demand for professional property and facility management services remained intact, overall market sentiment was subdued. The broader property and facility management market continued to develop; however, growth was constrained by intensifying competition, operational limitations, rising cost pressures, particularly in technology adoption and regulatory compliance, and heightened expectations for service quality, alongside a shortage of skilled technical personnel.

Government regulatory tightening within the real estate sector, together with reduced liquidity among property developers, further contributed to industry uncertainty. These conditions led to slower completion of new projects, exerted pressure on service-fee recovery, and elevated credit risk across the sector.

Against this backdrop, the Group maintained a prudent operating stance, prioritizing operational discipline, service continuity, and credit-risk controls. Opportunities arising from industrial facility management projects and urbanization-driven property services were captured selectively; however, overall expansion remained measured given the industry's structural challenges.

During the Reporting Year, the expiration of a major commercial property management contract in Shanghai resulted in a decline in segment performance. Revenue decreased by $36.8\%$ to approximately HK$4.3 million (2024: HK$6.8 million), while gross profit decreased by $20.0\%$ to approximately HK$3.6 million (2024: HK$4.5 million). After accounting for operating expenses, the PFM China Business recorded a net loss of approximately HK$0.6 million for the Reporting Year (2024: breakeven).

  • 24 -

While maintaining cautious optimism, the Group has observed early signs of gradual recovery supported by government policy easing, ongoing stimulus measures, and evolving client expectations. A new residential property management contract was awarded after the Reporting Year, reflecting improving client acquisition momentum. Nevertheless, the external environment remains complex and unstable, and the sector continues to face persistent challenges.

Looking ahead, the Group expects operating conditions to remain stable but fragile, with key risks including developer cash-flow constraints, rising labour costs, intense competition and longer project-awarding cycles. To navigate these uncertainties, the Group will continue to focus on operational efficiency, selective contract acquisition, cautious client assessment, and disciplined cost management. In parallel, the Group will pursue additional business opportunities to broaden income streams for the PFM China Business, with continued emphasis on sustainable and responsible development.

Outlook of the Group

Looking forward, the Group anticipates the local construction industry to remain broadly stable in the near term, although certain challenges persist. These include ongoing labour shortages, rising compliance costs stemming from strengthened regulatory and safety requirements, and fiscal constraints within the Government that may affect project approvals or cashflow timing. These factors will continue casting an uncertain shadow to the industry and negatively impacting our ISP Business performance. Despite these challenges, the Group is implementing proactive strategies to strengthen its resilience and enhance the quality of its order book. The Group is well-equipped and will continue diversifying its project portfolio to focus on relatively more stable sectors, such as luxury residential development and rehabilitation, commercial properties, and local residential properties while ensuring disciplined cost management and ongoing workforce upskilling. Simultaneously, the Group will maintain robust liquidity to support participation in potential large-scale tenders, providing a clear roadmap for restoring profitability. By leveraging our proven track records, extensive industry experience, and multidisciplinary technical expertise, the Group remains well-positioned to undertake substantial projects and deliver high-quality services. These strengths underpin the Group's efforts to sustain business growth in the coming year.

The Group remains cautiously optimistic about its long-term prospects, with expectations of maintaining stable financial performance, delivering sustainable growth and creating enduring value for shareholders. Building on our history of resilience and improving financial performance, the Group remains committed to upholding transparent governance, responsible business practices and a sustainability-driven operating framework. Underpinned by our core values of customer focus, integrity, teamwork, innovation and the pursuit of excellence, the Group will continue to enhance communication with clients and elevate service quality with the objective of strengthening customer satisfaction across all business segments.

Recognizing the rapidly evolving operating landscape, the Group will proactively manage operational and financial risks while ensuring sufficient flexibility to respond to emerging challenges and market developments. Leveraging its solid organizational foundation and experienced, dedicated management team, the Group is confident in its ability to navigate the current environment, safeguard operational stability and capture opportunities that support long-term and sustainable growth.

Financial Position and Financial Risk Management

Gearing Ratio

As at 31 December 2025, the Group maintained cash and cash equivalents amounting to approximately HK$12.3 million (2024: HK$21.6 million). The Group had no outstanding bank borrowings and therefore did not disclose any gearing ratio (which is defined by dividing bank borrowings by equity).

Liquidity and Financial Resources

In addition to the restricted cash of approximately HK$68.0 million as at 31 December 2025 (2024: HK$62.6 million) pledged to Falcon Insurance Company (Hong Kong) Limited to guarantee the surety bonds for the due performance and observance of works of the ISP Business projects, the Group also pledged approximately HK$10.1 million (2024: HK$10.0 million) to other banks and insurance companies for the issuance of surety bonds for the ISP Business projects. Furthermore, certain properties, plant and equipment, buildings and other assets of the Group with an aggregate carrying value of approximately HK$37.8 million (2024: HK$37.8 million) were charged to bank to secure banking facilities granted to the Group.

During the Reporting Year, the Group’s funding requirements were met through retained earnings generated from its operations, as well as equity financing arising from the rights issue of new shares and the placing of new shares under the general mandate.

With regard to the Group’s current business portfolio, management expects that financial requirements in the foreseeable future will be met through a combination of shareholders’ equity and available banking facilities. The Group intends to deploy its existing cash and cash equivalents to further strengthen the competitiveness of its businesses. Idle cash may be utilized for the purchase of surety bonds and the payment of upfront project-related costs. This will support the Group’s ability to tender for larger and/or additional projects, thereby improving tender competitiveness and facilitating the expansion of the ISP Business.

The Group will continue to proactively monitor its financial position and capital structure on a regular basis to ensure that adequate working capital and liquidity are maintained. This disciplined approach is intended to enable the Group to seize business opportunities as they arise and support sustainable growth in operations.

The Group adopts a conservative approach to the management of its financial risks and resources, under the close supervision of the Directors.

As the Group’s business operations are primarily based in Hong Kong, and the majority of its assets and liabilities are denominated in Hong Kong Dollars, the Group’s foreign currency exposure remains minimal. The expansion of the Group’s business in China has been funded through permanent capital injections, and accordingly, the Group considers foreign currency hedging to be unnecessary.

Capital Structure

The number of issued ordinary shares of the Company as at 31 December 2025 was 764,723,000 shares (2024: 424,850,000 shares). The increase in shares was due to the Company’s completion of the rights issue on 28 May 2025 and the placing of new shares on 21 October 2025, resulting in the respective increases of 212,425,000 shares and 127,448,000 shares.

Details of this matter are set out in the announcement of the Company dated 18 January 2021.

Cash Management

The Group operates a centralized cash management system. Cash balances in excess of immediate operational requirements are primarily placed as short-term bank deposits with licensed banks in Hong Kong to enhance capital utilization while preserving liquidity.


Human Resources

As at 31 December 2025, the Group employed a total of 232 staff (including Directors of the Company) in Hong Kong and China (2024: 316 staff).

During the Reporting Year, the Group continued to prioritize strategic workforce management to support its core operations, particularly within the ISP Business segment. Despite ongoing challenges in the construction and interiors market, the Human Resources function played a critical role in maintaining a lean, responsive and agile workforce structure, enabling the Group to navigate economic headwinds and project-cycle volatility.

To promote workplace wellness and support employee well-being and work-life balance, the Group has introduced various wellness initiatives designed to enhance resilience, safeguard business continuity and foster sustainable organizational growth. By adopting flexible work policies, remote-friendly arrangements and digital working practices, the Group has strengthened operational efficiency through improvements in workflow processes, workspace utilization, collaboration platforms and staff engagement mechanisms.

Sustaining high service quality remains a core long-term objective, and retaining experienced and high-performing talent is essential to achieving this. The Group continues to invest in competitive remuneration and benefits packages, drawing insights from market research and regular benchmarking reviews. The Human Resources team also closely monitors market trends to attract high-calibre professionals and support the expansion of the Group's talent pool.

To promote mutual growth between the Group and its employees, ongoing emphasis is placed on staff development, including training opportunities and resources that support both personal and professional advancement. The Group remains confident that its dedicated team will continue to contribute to the Company's success by delivering high-quality services and earning the trust and recognition of its valued customers.

PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF THE COMPANY'S LISTED SECURITIES

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company's listed securities (including the sale of the treasury shares) during the Reporting Year. As at 31 December 2025, the Company did not have any treasury shares.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT AFTER REPORTING YEAR

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 13 December 2022 in relation to the continuing connected transactions under the 2023 ISP Works Master Agreement entered into between Mrs. Chu Yuet Wah ("Mrs Chu"), the controlling shareholder of the Company, and the Company. The 2023 ISP Works Master Agreement expired on 31 December 2025.

Upon its expiry, the Company and Mrs. Chu entered into the 2026 ISP Works Master Agreement on 13 January 2026 to continue the provision of ISP Works on a non-exclusive basis for the period from 16 February 2026 to 31 December 2028, with a proposed annual cap of HK$30.0 million for each of the three years.

As Mrs. Chu is a controlling shareholder of the Company, she is a connected person under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules"). Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the 2026 ISP Works Master Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (other than the profits ratio) under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the annual caps exceed 5%, the transactions contemplated under the 2026 ISP Works Master Agreement are subject to the requirements of announcement, reporting, annual review, circular and approval by the Independent Shareholders under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The transactions under the 2026 ISP Works Master Agreement are revenue in nature, conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and therefore do not constitute notifiable transactions under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The 2026 ISP Works Master Agreement will become effective upon obtaining approval from the Independent Shareholders at the special general meeting to be convened.

Apart from the renewal of ISP Works Master Agreement, there are no events after the Reporting Year that would have a material impact on the Company's financial position.
