(Stock Code: 8006)
ANNUAL RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
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.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited take no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, 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 announcement.

The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this announcement 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 announcement misleading.

The addresses of the registered office and principal place of business of the Company are disclosed in the corporate information section to the annual report.
The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are principally engaged in (i) travel media operations with provision of advertising services through the internet and travel magazines, event organising services and magazine publication; (ii) provision of contents and advertising services in a well known financial magazine distributed in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”); (iii) investment in securities; (iv) virtual reality business; and (v) money lending business.

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO HKFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Amendments to an HKFRS Accounting Standard that are mandatorily effective for the current year
In the current year, the Group has applied the following amendments to an HKFRS Accounting Standard as issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) for the first time, which are mandatorily effective for the Group’s annual periods beginning on 1 January 2025 for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:
| Amendments to HKAS 21 | Lack of Exchangeability |
|---|---|
| The application of the amendments to this HKFRS 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 HKFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective:
The Group has not early applied the following new and amendments to HKFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective:
| Amendments to HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 7 | Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments^{2} |
|---|---|
| Amendments to HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 7 | Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity^{2} |
| Amendments to HKFRS 10 and HKAS 28 | Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture^{1} |
| Amendments to HKFRS Accounting Standards | Annual Improvements to HKFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11^{2} |
| HKFRS 18 | Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements^{3} |
| HKFRS 19 | Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures^{3} |
| Amendments to HKFRS 19 | Amendments to Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures^{3} |
- Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined.
- Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
- Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.
Except as described below, the directors of the Company anticipate that the application of all new and amendments to HKFRS Accounting Standards will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the foreseeable future.
(i) HKFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
HKFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which sets out requirements on presentation and disclosures in financial statements, will replace HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This new HKFRS Accounting Standard, while carrying forward many of the requirements in HKAS 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 statements and improve aggregation and disaggregation of information to be disclosed in the financial statements. In addition, some HKAS 1 paragraphs have been moved to HKAS 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 HKFRS 18) and HKFRS 7. Minor amendments to HKAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and HKAS 33 Earnings per Share are also made.
HKFRS 18, and amendments to other standards, will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with early application permitted. HKFRS 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.

The impairment approach in HKFRS 9 is based on expectations as opposed to incurred losses under the predecessor accounting standard. This means it is not necessary for a loss event to occur before credit losses are recognised. Instead, a loss allowance is recognised for expected credit losses and is remeasured at each reporting date for changes in those expected credit losses. HKFRS 9 is purposefully designed to be forward looking and reflect expectations of future credit events impacting loans and receivables on the statement of financial position. It is important when determining what ‘forward looking’ information should be used as it must reflect the forward-looking information that existed at the reporting date.
At the reporting date, the management expected all entities to experience conditions often associated with a general economic downturn, including, but not limited to, financial market volatility and erosion, deteriorating credit, liquidity concerns, further increases in government intervention, increasing unemployment, broad declines in consumer discretionary spending, increasing inventory levels, reductions in production because of decreased demand, layoffs and other restructuring activities. Contingent on the continuation of these circumstances a potential broader economic downturn could result with a prolonged negative impact on the Group’s financial results.
In determining the recoverability of the trade receivables, the management had from time to time during the financial period, communicated with the debtors about their financial condition.
Based on the Group’s understanding from the foregoing communication and the results of its review on their respective financial information and after taking into account their repayment history and certain forward-looking factors specific to each of them, the Group recorded the impairment losses under expected credit loss model, net of approximately HK$12.6 million (2024: HK$20.4 million). The Group made provision for impairment losses on accounts receivable when the borrowers with overdue payments. The Directors considered that the amount of the impairment losses was fair and reasonable.
The selling and distribution costs increased by HK$1.8 million to HK$2.7 million during the year (2024: HK$0.9 million), representing an increase of 200.0% against the year of 2024. The increase was mainly due to the increase in marketing expenses. The administrative expenses decreased by approximately HK$0.4 million to approximately HK$7.8 million during the year (2024: HK$8.2 million), representing a decrease of 4.9% against the year of 2024. Such decrease was mainly due to the decrease in other expenses.
As a result, the loss attributable to owners of the Company was HK$9.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 as compared with a loss of HK$24.2 million in 2024.
