CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

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.

Dear Sir or Madam,

(I) PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE ON THE BASIS OF
TWO (2) RIGHTS SHARES FOR EVERY ONE (1) SHARE
HELD ON THE RECORD DATE;
AND
(II) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) further details of the Rights Issue and the Placing; (ii) a letter of recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Rights Issue; (iii) a letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders on the Rights Issue; (iv) other information required under the GEM Listing Rules; and (v) a notice convening the EGM.

PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE

The Company proposes to raise gross proceeds of up to approximately HK$40.8 million by way of the issue of up to 479,999,992 Rights Shares at the Subscription Price of HK$0.0850 per Rights Share on the basis of two (2) Rights Shares for every one (1) Share held at the close of business on the Record Date. The Rights Issue is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders and will not be extended to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Rights Issue Statistics

Basis of the Rights Issue : Two (2) Rights Shares for every one (1) Share held by the Shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date

Subscription Price : HK$0.0850 per Rights Share

Net subscription price per Rights Share (i.e. Subscription Price less Rights Issue expenses) : Approximately HK$0.0802 per Rights Share

Number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date : 239,999,996 Shares

Number of Rights Shares to be issued under the Rights Issue : Up to 479,999,992 Rights Shares (assuming there is no change to the total number Shares in issue on or before the Record Date)

Total number of Shares in issue as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares : Up to 719,999,988 Shares (assuming there is no change to the total number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date and all Rights Shares are taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders)

Maximum amount to be raised before expenses (assuming the Rights Issue is fully subscribed) : Up to approximately HK$40.8 million before expenses (assuming there is no change to the total number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date and all Rights Shares are taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders)

Aggregate nominal value of the Rights Shares : HK$4.8 million (assuming there is no change to the total number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date and all Rights Shares are taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders)

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no outstanding convertible bonds, options, derivatives, warrants, conversion rights or other similar rights entitling holders thereof to subscribe for or convert into or exchange into Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Non-underwritten basis

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptances of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. In the event the Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, any Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders will be placed to independent Places under the Compensatory Arrangements. Any Unsubscribed Rights Shares or NQS Unsold Rights Shares which are not placed under the Compensatory Arrangements will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly. There is no minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue. There are no applicable statutory requirements regarding minimum subscription levels in respect of the Rights Issue.

As the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis, the Shareholders who apply to take up all or part of his/her/its entitlement under the PAL(s) may unwittingly incur an obligation to make a general offer for the Shares under the Takeovers Code or cause the public float of the Company to decrease to below 25%. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be made on terms that the Company will provide for the Shareholders to apply on the basis that if the Rights Shares are not fully taken up, the application of any Shareholder (except for HKSCC Nominees Limited) for his/her/its assured entitlement under the Rights Issue will be scaled down to a level which (a) does not trigger an obligation on the part of the relevant Shareholder to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code in accordance to the note to Rule 10.26(2) of the GEM Listing Rules; and (b) does not cause the Company's public float to decrease to below 25%. Any subscription monies not utilised due to the scaled-down application of entitled Rights Shares will be refunded to the affected applicants.

Undertakings

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not received any information or irrevocable undertaking from any Shareholder, including the substantial shareholder of the Company, of their intention as to whether such Shareholder will take up his/her entitlements under the Rights Issue (or otherwise).

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price of HK$0.0850 per Rights Share is payable in full by a Qualifying Shareholder upon acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue, and, where applicable, when a transferee of the nil-paid Rights Shares applies for the Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

(i) a discount of approximately 15.00% to the closing price of HK$0.1000 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

(ii) a discount of approximately 16.50% to the average closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.1018 per Share;

  • 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(iii) a discount of approximately 16.50% to the average closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 10 consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.1018 per Share;

(iv) a discount of approximately 5.56% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.0900 per Share based on the closing price of HK$0.1000 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date;

(v) a premium of approximately 319.24% to the latest published unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share as at 30 September 2024 of approximately HK$0.0203 (based on the interim report of the Company published on 26 November 2024 in relation to, among others, the interim results of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2024); and

(vi) a theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) of approximately 11.58%, represented by the theoretical diluted price of approximately HK$0.0909 per Share to the benchmarked price (as defined under 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules, taking into account the closing price on the Last Trading Day of HK$0.1000 per Share and the average of the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the past five consecutive trading days prior to the Last Trading Date of approximately HK$0.1028 per Share) of approximately HK$0.1028 per Share.

The net price per Rights Share (i.e. Subscription Price less cost and expenses expected to be incurred in the Rights Issue) upon full acceptance of the provisional allotment of Rights Shares will be approximately HK$0.0802.

The Subscription Price was determined by the Company with reference to, among others, (i) the recent market price of the Shares under the prevailing market conditions; (ii) the prevailing market conditions of the capital market in Hong Kong; (iii) the financial position of the Group; and (iv) the amount of funds the Company intended to be raised under the Rights Issue as disclosed in the section headed "REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS" below in this circular.

The Directors consider that the discount of the Subscription Price would encourage Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and accordingly maintain their shareholdings in the Company and participate in the future growth and development of the Group. After taking into consideration the reasons for the Rights Issue as disclosed in the section headed "REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS" below, the Directors consider the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, to be fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Status of the Rights Shares

The Rights Shares, when allotted, issued and fully paid, shall rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares then in issue, including the right to receive all future dividends and distributions which may be declared, made or paid on or after the date of allotment of the Rights Shares in their fully-paid form.

Qualifying Shareholders and Non-Qualifying Shareholders

To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must be registered as a member of the Company on the Record Date and is not a Non-Qualifying Shareholder.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Basis of provisional allotment

The Rights Shares will be allotted on the basis of two (2) Rights Shares for every one (1) Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders as at the close of business on the Record Date.

The PAL relating to the Rights Shares will be enclosed with the Prospectus entitling the Qualifying Shareholders to whom it is addressed to subscribe for the Rights Shares as shown therein. Acceptance for all or any part of a Qualifying Shareholder’s provisional allotment should be made only by completing a PAL and lodging the same with a remittance for the Rights Shares being accepted with the Registrar by the Latest Time for Acceptance.

Application for all or any part of a Qualifying Shareholder’s provisional allotment should be made by lodging a duly completed PAL and a cheque or a banker’s cashier order for the sum payable for the Rights Shares being applied for with the Registrar on or before the Latest Time for Acceptance.

Procedures in respect of Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the NQS Unsold Rights Shares and the Compensatory Arrangements

The Company will make arrangements described in Rule 10.31(1)(b) of the GEM Listing Rule to dispose of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the NQS Unsold Rights Shares by offering the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the NQS Unsold Rights Shares to independent Places for the benefit of Shareholders to whom they were offered by way of the Rights Issue. There will be no excess application arrangements in relation to the Rights Issue as stipulated under Rule 10.31(1)(a) of the GEM Listing Rules.

The Company therefore appointed the Placing Agent to place the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the NQS Unsold Rights Shares after the Latest Time for Acceptance of the Rights Shares to be allotted and issued under the Rights Issue to independent Places on a best effort basis. Any premium over the Subscription Price for those Rights Shares that is realised will be paid to the No Action Shareholders and Non-Qualifying Shareholders on a pro-rata basis. The Placing Agent will, on a best effort basis, procure, by not later than 4:00 p.m., on Wednesday, 30 April 2025, acquirers for all (or as many as possible) of those Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the NQS Unsold Rights Shares if a premium over the Subscription Price and the expenses of procuring such acquirers (including any related commissions and any other related expenses/fees) can be obtained. Any Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the NQS Unsold Rights Shares remain not placed after completion of the Placing will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly.

Net Gain (if any) will be paid (without interest) on a pro-rata basis (on the basis of all Unsubscribed Rights Shares and NQS Unsold Rights Shares) to the No Action Shareholders and the Non-Qualifying Shareholders (but rounded down to the nearest cent) as set out below:

(i) the relevant Qualifying Shareholders (or such persons who hold any nil-paid rights at the time such nil-paid rights are lapsed) whose nil-paid rights are not validly applied for in full, by reference to the extent that Shares in his/her/its nil-paid rights are not validly applied for; and

(ii) the relevant Non-Qualifying Shareholders with reference to their shareholdings in the Company on the Record Date.

  • 13 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

It is proposed that Net Gain to any of the No Action Shareholder(s) mentioned above which is in an amount of HK$100 or more will be paid to them in Hong Kong Dollars only and the Company will retain individual amounts of less than HK$100 for its own benefit. Shareholders are reminded that Net Gain may or may not be realised, and accordingly the No Action Shareholders may or may not receive any Net Gain.

Rights of the Overseas Shareholder(s) (if any)

The Prospectus Documents to be issued in connection with the Rights Issue will not be registered or filed under the securities law of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong. Overseas Shareholders may not be eligible to take part in the Rights Issue as explained below.

The Board will comply with Rule 17.41(1) of the GEM Listing Rules and make necessary enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the Rights Issue to the Overseas Shareholders (if any) under the laws of the relevant overseas jurisdictions and the requirements of the relevant regulatory bodies or stock exchanges. If, based on legal advice, the Board is of the opinion that it would be necessary or expedient not to offer the Rights Shares to any Overseas Shareholders on account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of relevant place(s) or the requirements of the relevant overseas regulatory body or stock exchange, no provisional allotment of the nil-paid Rights Shares or allotment of fully paid Rights Shares will be made to such Overseas Shareholders. In such circumstances, the Rights Issue will not be extended to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders. The basis for excluding the Non-Qualifying Shareholders, if any, from the Rights Issue will be set out in the Prospectus to be issued. The Company will send the Prospectus to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders for their information only, but will not send the PAL to them.

The Non-Qualifying Shareholders (which are excluded from the Rights Issue) will not have any entitlement under the Rights Issue. However, arrangements will be made for the Rights Shares, which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders, to be sold in their nil-paid form as soon as practicable after dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares commence, if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. The proceeds of such sale, less expenses, will be paid pro-rata (but rounded down to the nearest cent) to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders in Hong Kong dollars, except that the Company will retain individual amounts of less than HK$100 for its own benefit.

Any NQS Unsold Rights Shares, which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders in nil-paid form, will be placed by the Placing Agent at a price not less than the Subscription Price under the Placing Agreement together with the Unsubscribed Rights Shares. Any Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the NQS Unsold Rights Shares remain not placed under the Compensatory Arrangements will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, based on the register of members of the Company, there is no Overseas Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Overseas Shareholders should note that they may or may not be entitled to the Rights Issue, subject to the results of enquiries made by the Directors pursuant to Rule 17.41(1) of the GEM Listing Rules. The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any acceptance of Rights Shares where it believes that such acceptance or application would violate the applicable securities or other laws or regulations of any territory or jurisdiction. Accordingly, Overseas Shareholders and beneficial owners of the Shares who are residing outside Hong Kong should exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

Share certificates of the Rights Shares and refund cheques for the Rights Issue

Subject to fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, (i) share certificates for the fully-paid Rights Shares; and (ii) refund cheques in respect of wholly or partially unsuccessful applications for Rights Shares are expected to be sent on or before Wednesday, 7 May 2025 to those entitled thereto by ordinary post, at their own risk, to their registered addresses. Each allottee will receive one share certificate for all allotted Rights Shares.

Fractional entitlements to the Rights Shares

On the basis of provisional allotment of two (2) Rights Shares for every one (1) Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date, no fractional entitlements to the Rights Shares will arise under the Rights Issue.

Taxation

Qualifying Shareholders are recommended to consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt as to the taxation implications of subscribing for the Rights Shares, or about purchasing, holding or disposals of, or dealings in or exercising any rights in relation to the Shares or the Rights Shares, and similarly, the Non-Qualifying Shareholders (if any) as regards their receipt of the net proceeds of sale of the Rights Shares otherwise falling to be issued to them under the Rights Issue under the laws of jurisdictions in which they are liable to taxation. It is emphasised that none of the Company, the Directors nor any other parties involved in the Rights Issue accepts responsibility for any tax effects on, or liabilities of, any person resulting from subscribing for, purchasing, holding, disposal of, dealings in or exercising any rights in relation to the Shares or the Rights Shares.

Application for listing

The Company will apply to the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Rights Shares (in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms) to be issued and allotted pursuant to the Rights Issue. No part of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in, and no listing of or permission to deal in any such securities is being or is proposed to be sought, on any other stock exchanges.

It should be noted that all the Comparables may have different principal activities, market capitalization, profitability and financial position as compared with those of the Company, and the circumstances leading to the Comparables to proceed with the rights issues may also be different from that of the Company.

The following table sets forth the relevant details of the Comparables:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As illustrated in the table above, the Company notes that the placing commission to be paid to the respective placing agent under the compensatory arrangement of the respective Comparables ranges from 1.00% to 3.00%, with an average and median of 2.06% and 2.00% respectively. For the Rights Issue, the placing commission to be paid to the Placing Agent under the Compensatory Arrangement amounted to 3.00%, and therefore it falls within the range of the Comparables.

Based on the above, the Directors (excluding the members of the Independent Board Committee whose opinion will be set forth in the circular of the Company after having been advised by the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that the terms of the Placing Agreement, including the placing fee charged, are fair and reasonable and the transactions contemplated under the Placing Agreement are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Placing Agent shall ensure that the Placing Shares are placed only to institutional, corporate or individual investors who and whose ultimate beneficial owners shall be Independent Third Parties. The Placing Agent shall also ensure that (i) the Placing will not result in any places, or together with any party in concert, owning 10% or more of the voting right of the Company; (ii) the Placing will not have any implication under the Takeovers Code and no Shareholder will be under any obligation to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code as a result of the Placing; and (iii) the Placing will not result in the Company incapable of complying with the public float requirements under Rule 11.23(7) of the GEM Listing Rules immediately following the Placing.

Given that the Compensatory Arrangements would provide (i) a distribution channel of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the NQS Unsold Rights Shares to the Company; (ii) channel of participation in the Rights Issue for independent investors; and (iii) a compensatory mechanism for No Action Shareholders and the Non-Qualifying Shareholders, the Directors consider that the Compensatory Arrangements are fair and reasonable and would provide adequate safeguard to protect the interest of the Company's minority Shareholders.

REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group principally engages in the provision of online advertising services, which consist of social viral services, engager services and mass blogging services. Its business primarily operates in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and the Philippines. The Group's services are delivered via its self-developed platforms, which allow clients to match their advertising campaigns or contents with the Group's relevant members based on their demographic details and behaviours, such as consumption patterns of certain products and services and brand preferences.

Assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue, the expected gross proceeds of the Rights Issue will be up to approximately HK$40.8 million and the relevant expenses would be approximately HK$2.3 million, which includes placing commission and professional fees payable to financial adviser, legal advisers and other parties involved in the Rights Issue. Accordingly, the estimated net proceeds of the Rights Issue, after deducting the related expense, will be up to approximately HK$38.5 million.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024, as a result of weaker economies following a slower than expected post-pandemic recovery, the advertising industry in those markets the Group operate in remain to be sluggish. Advertisers are reluctant to increase their advertising spending and are especially cautious about experimenting new media channels. Maintaining existing client spending and developing new customer base both present major challenges to the Group.

To weather through this adverse environment, the Group plans to rejuvenate sales with additional efforts to strengthen brand awareness and sales support. The Company intends to enhance spending on promotions and communications with advertisers and media agencies in order to become their preferred, top-of-mind choice for media platform. Extra trial incentives and offers will also be introduced to attract potential clients and strengthen our business development effort. Furthermore, the Company will explore new business opportunities and continue to invest in product development to ensure our advertising services remain competitive in the fast-changing digital advertising industry.

As at 31 December 2024, the cash and cash equivalents of the Group amounted to approximately HK$6.6 million. With reference to the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024, the net cash used in operating activities of the Group amounted to approximately HK$8.3 million for the year ended 31 March 2024 as detailed in the consolidated cash flow statement of the Group. The Company is of the view that it is prudent to maintain a reasonable level of cash reserves to support the Group's existing operations over a suitable timeframe. As such, to facilitate the proposed expansion and business development of the Group, as outlined in the section headed "Intended use of proceeds" below, and to enhance the Group's liquidity, the Company considers that the Rights Issue represents a viable fundraising mechanism to achieve the Group's strategic objectives.

Intended use of proceeds

Assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue, the Company intends to apply the net proceeds of approximately HK$38.5 million from the Rights Issue (assuming no other change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date) for the following purposes:

(i) approximately HK$25.5 million for the expansion and development in the business of online advertising services and promotion of the online platform of the Group, among which:

(a) approximately HK$18.5 million will be dedicated to geographical expansion in the PRC and Southeast Asia, thereby enabling the Company to capitalize on emerging opportunities and the increasing demand for digital advertising in these dynamic regions and replicate our success on different social media platforms.

The respective portion of the proceed from the Rights Issue will be allocated to several key initiatives aimed at driving growth and engagement. Firstly, funds will be used to offer prizes, gifts, and coupons to attract new members, incentivizing participation and expanding the Group's user base in its social viral service and engager service. The Group's social viral service allows its


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

clients to show their advertising contents, in the form of videos, images and websites, directly to the members of the Group on the Group's platforms within their criteria of target audience. The Group's engager service helps the Group's clients achieve their marketing objectives by inviting the members of the Group, who are the target audience of the Group's client, to involve and engage in their advertising campaigns. The Company is of the view that such development strategies will facilitate substantial growth of the Group's business in the Southeast Asia region. In addition to the Group's established operations in Malaysia and the Philippines, the Company proposes to pursue geographical expansion into Thailand following reviews of the current developments within the country. The Company aims to further diversify its operations, tap into new customer segments, and enhance its overall competitive positioning in the Southeast Asia region.

Mr. Lee Wing Leung Garlos, the Executive Director and co-founder of the Group, is currently responsible for the overall management of the organization, overseeing all operations, including sales, marketing, client services, human resources, and finance, as well as the Group's business operations in the Southeast Asia region. The Company believes that Mr. Lee Wing Leung Garlos's extensive experience in fostering development in Southeast Asia will continue to contribute to the Group's geographical expansion strategy.

Additionally, to replicate the Group's success business expansion in Malaysia and the Philippines, the Group will invest in targeted marketing efforts to reach new business clients, enhancing the Group's visibility and outreach. The Company intends to further establish business network and infrastructure in the PRC. Office expenses in operations in the PRC will also be covered to support the Group's expanding footprint.

Furthermore, to enhance the Group's mass blogging service, the Company recognizes the importance of accommodating the diverse business operating environment in the PRC. For the Group's mass blogging services, the members of the Group can try out and review the products or services of the Group's clients and share their own feedback and trial experience with their friends on social media platforms. To this end, the Company plans to allocate funds for the development of new applications and interfaces, as well as the necessary server infrastructure, to improve user experience and functionality.

The Group's current infrastructure for digital advertising in social media has its limitations, particularly in its coverage of key platforms in the PRC such as Xiaohongshu and Douyin. These platforms have rapidly gained popularity and are crucial for reaching a broad audience in the PRC. To address this need, respective proceeds from the Rights Issue will be allocated to enhancing the capabilities of the Group in these areas.

and effective campaigns that resonate with local consumers in the PRC. Through these efforts, the Group seeks to not only enhance its digital advertising infrastructure but also position itself as a competitive participant in the social media marketing industry in the PRC.

Meanwhile, to bolster the Group's advertising capabilities, the Group will recruit individuals with Xiaohongshu accounts in the PRC, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. These influencers will assist advertisers in promoting their brands, products, and services by posting engaging copy, photos, and videos on their accounts, thereby creating a viral impact.

Ms. Cai Ying, the Executive Director of the Company, has a solid background in media and advertising, with significant experience in the PRC. Her work in such field has provided her with a good understanding on the industry dynamics. The Company believes that her insights in the PRC will be helpful and her familiarity with local practices and consumer preferences can assist the Company in developing strategies that resonate well with the target audience. Besides, the Company will explore and intends to recruit additional personnel with expertise in media and advertising within the PRC. By bringing in professionals who possess an understanding on the local market and industry dynamics, the Company aims to enhance its capabilities and ensure a more effective approach for development and growth.

Based on the proposed schedule for the various initiatives outlined above, the proceeds allocated to these enhancements are expected to be fully utilized by the end of 2026; and

(b) approximately HK$7.0 million will be utilized to strengthen the existing network, enhancing infrastructure and technology capabilities of the Group.

Key initiatives will include the expansion of affiliate services and improvements to advertising services across traditional digital mediums, particularly focusing on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. On both Facebook and Instagram, initiatives will involve optimizing advertisements placements through targeted audience segmentation and utilizing visually-driven content to maximize brand visibility, including but not limited to the creation of engaging stories, reels, and posts that align with current trends and user preferences.

Additionally, the enhancement of the mobile application will be prioritized to align with upgrades in smartphone operating systems and facilitate better user engagement, while efforts to improve search engine optimization will drive increased visibility. Investments will also be made in database management and source code improvements to optimize performance. Furthermore, integrating artificial intelligence into data management, analysis, and workflow management will streamline operations and enhance decision-making processes. Collectively, these initiatives are designed to position the Group for sustained growth and competitiveness.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the proposed schedule for the various initiatives outlined above, the proceeds allocated to these enhancements are expected to be fully utilized by the end of 2026; and

(ii) approximately HK$13.0 million will be used for general working capital of the Group, including but not limited to operational costs, staff costs, rental expenses, professional fees and other office overheads of the Group.

With reference to the Company's existing operating performance and the proposed development plans, it is anticipated that the portion of proceeds from the Rights Issue allocated for general working capital will be utilized within one year.

The Rights Issue will proceed irrespective of the level of acceptance of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. In the event that there is an under-subscription of the Rights Issue, the net proceeds of the Rights Issue will be allocated and utilised in accordance with the same proportion to the above uses.

Should the proposed Rights Issue experiences under-subscription, the Group will explore alternative funding strategies to support the aforesaid business development plans. One key approach will be to engage in a private placement of Shares under general or specific mandate, targeting institutional and/or accredited investors to raise the necessary capital. On the other hand, the Group will explore potential strategic partnerships and joint ventures, leveraging collaborative opportunities to share resources and investment, thereby enhancing the Group's capacity to execute growth initiatives effectively. In addition to exploring alternative funding strategies, the Group may also consider rearranging the scale and schedule of its development plans to better align with the Group's operational capacity. By modifying both the scope of these initiatives and the pace at which they are implemented and focusing on key priorities, the Company would be able to optimize the initial capital requirements.

Fund-raising alternatives

Apart from the Rights Issue, the Board has considered various fund-raising alternatives before resolving to proceed with the Rights Issue, including but not limited to debt financing, placing of new shares and open offer. The Board noted that bank borrowings, if available, would result in additional interest burden of the Company and create pressure to the liquidity of the Company. The restrictive covenants in the loan transaction documents as may be imposed by the bank will also restrict the business activities of the Group. Hence, the Board does not consider it to be beneficial to the Company. As for placing of new Shares, it would lead to immediate dilution in the shareholding interest of Shareholders without offering them the opportunity to participate in the enlarged capital base of the Company and it is relatively smaller in scale as compared to fund raising through rights issue. As for open offer, while it is similar to a rights issue, offering Qualifying Shareholders to participate, it does not allow free trading of rights entitlements in the open market. As opposed to open offer, Rights Issue would allow Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the future development of the Company and at the same time offer more flexibility to the Qualifying Shareholders to choose whether to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding interests in the Company and dealing with the Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Having considered all the other fund-raising alternatives, the Directors are of the view that the Rights Issue is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and that it is an appropriate fund-raising method to strengthen the capital base of the Company and support the Company's continuing business development and growth.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save as disclosed in this circular, the Company currently (i) does not have any agreement, arrangement, understanding, intention, or negotiation (either concluded or in process) on any potential fundraising activities; and (ii) has no other plan or intention to carry out any future corporate actions in the next 12 months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Rights Issue.

PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE ON THE BASIS OF TWO (2) RIGHTS SHARES FOR EVERY ONE (1) SHARE HELD ON THE RECORD DATE

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptance of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. There are no applicable statutory requirements regarding minimum subscription levels in respect of the Rights Issue.

The Rights Shares, when allotted, issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects among themselves and with the Shares in issue at the time. Holders of fully paid Rights Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions which may be declared, made or paid by the Company on or after the date of allotment and issue of the Rights Shares in their fully-paid form.

According to Rule 10.31(1)(b) of the GEM Listing Rules, the Company will make the Compensatory Arrangements to dispose of the Placing Shares by offering these Shares to independent Places for the benefit of the Shareholders to whom they are offered by way of the Rights Issue. Accordingly, on Friday, 7 February 2025 (after trading hours), the Company entered into the Placing Agreement with the Placing Agent in relation to the placing of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the NQS Unsold Rights Shares to the independent Places on a best effort basis.

THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

An Independent Board Committee comprising all independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Kwan Chi Hong, Mr. Fenn David and Mr. Ho Ho Tung Armen, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Rights Issue and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and to advise the Independent Shareholders on how to vote at the EGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we are not connected with the Directors, chief executive and substantial shareholders of the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or their respective associates and, as at the Latest Practicable Date, did not have any shareholding, directly or indirectly, in any of their respective subsidiaries or their respective associates and did not have any shareholding, directly or indirectly, in any member of the Group or any right, whether legally enforceable or not, to subscribe for or to nominate persons to subscribe for securities in any member of the Group. We are not aware of any relationships or interests between us and the Company or any other parties that could be reasonably regarded as hindrance to our independence as defined under Rule 17.96 of the GEM Listing Rules to act as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the proposed Rights Issue. Apart from normal professional fees payable to us in connection with this appointment, no arrangements exist whereby we had received or will receive any fee or benefit from the Group and its associates. We have not acted as an independent financial adviser and has not provided any other services to the Company during the past two years.

Accordingly, we consider that we are eligible to give independent advice on the Rights Issue and the transactions contemplated thereunder of the Company.

BASIS OF OUR ADVICE

In formulating our opinion, we have reviewed, amongst others, (i) the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024 (the "Annual Report"); (ii) the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2024 (the "Interim Report"); and (iii) other information contained or referred to in the Circular.

FY2024 compared to FY2023

The Group's revenue is derived from the sale of online advertising services in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. The decrement of revenue in FY2024 was mainly attributable to the decrement in revenue generated in Hong Kong from approximately HK$11.0 million in FY2023 to approximately HK$8.5 million, representing approximately 23.4% decrease, mainly resulting from the changing consumption patterns of Hong Kong visitors and residents as Hong Kong business was significantly impacted in the last quarter of FY2024 amidst the weak economic momentum and increasing competition from other online advertising service providers. With the various challenges encountered, the revenue generated from Taiwan for FY2024 also decreased from approximately HK$3.1 million in FY2023 to approximately HK$2.8 million. Meanwhile, the revenue contribution from Southeast Asia markets fell to approximately HK$0.5 million for FY2024 from

  • IFA-5 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

approximately HK$1.0 million for FY2023 because of the slower than expected post-pandemic recovery of advertising activities in Southeast Asia.

Other income(loss), net of the Group turned around from loss of approximately HK$2.9 million for FY2023 to an income of approximately HK$0.7 million for FY2024 which was mainly attributable to the fair value gain on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HK$103,000 was recognised in FY2024 while fair value loss of approximately HK$3.2 million was recorded in FY2023.

Overall, the Group recorded a loss for the year of approximately HK$13.2 million for FY2024 as compared to approximately HK$16.3 million for FY2023, mainly attributable to the decrease in other loss for FY2024.

1H2024 vs 1H2023

For 1H2024, the significant decrement in revenue was mainly attributable to the revenue generated from Hong Kong decreased to approximately HK$2.2 million from approximately HK$5.1 million for 1H2023, representing a decrease of approximately 56.4%, driven by the changing consumption patterns of Hong Kong visitors and residents. Nonetheless, the revenue generated from Taiwan for 1H2024 has turned around and increased to approximately HK$1.3 million from approximately HK$1.1 million, and such increase was primarily attributable to the business in Taiwan has improved with more outreach to potential clients. While the total revenue from the operations in Southeast Asia has remained relatively stable with approximately HK$0.2 million and HK$0.3 million for 1H2024 and 1H2023, respectively.

The Group's loss for the period decreased from approximately HK$6.7 million for 1H2023 to approximately HK$4.2 million for 1H2024, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in administrative and other operating expenses from approximately HK$6.3 million for 1H2023 to approximately HK$3.3 million for 1H2024, mainly contributed by the decrease in net foreign exchange loss, directors' remuneration and staff costs.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Group's total liabilities decreased from approximately HK$9.8 million as at 31 March 2024 to approximately HK$7.8 million as at 30 September 2024, which was mainly due to the decrease in trade and other payables from approximately HK$9.3 million as at 31 March 2024 to approximately HK$7.4 million as at 30 September 2024, representing a decrease of approximately 20.4%.

1.2 Outlook and prospects of the Group

According to the Interim Report, as a result of weaker economies following a slower than expected post-pandemic recovery, the advertising industry in the markets we operate in remained sluggish. Advertisers are reluctant to increase their advertising spending and are especially cautious about experimenting new media channels.

The Group also mentioned that the Company has been actively implementing strategic plans to improve by 1) increasing manpower to reach out inactive and new customers, 2) offering free trial for its key services to attract new business opportunities, 3) further promoting the new affiliate service to attract new clients, 4) launching new services such as one that can assist clients in carrying out market promotion on the new social media platform Threads and 5) upgrading the existing social viral services to deliver better performance results. Considering the historical financial information of the Group as mentioned under subsection 1.1 above, we are of the view that it is reasonable for the Company to allocate more resources for the expansion and development in the principal business of the Group to general more potential business return to benefit the Shareholders if they think fit.

2. Our view on the reasons for the Rights Issue and the intended use of proceeds

2.1 The funding needs

As stated in the "Letter from the Board" the Circular, the Company has assessed the potential market value of the PRC and Southeast Asia, and considered it in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to capitalize on emerging opportunities and the increasing demand for digital advertising in these dynamic regions and replicate its success on different social media platforms.

Part of the proceeds from the Rights Issue will be allocated to several key initiatives aimed at driving growth and engagement. Firstly, funds will be used to offer prizes, gifts, and coupons to attract new members, incentivizing participation and expanding the Group's user base in its social viral service and engager service. The Group's social viral service allows its clients to show their advertising contents, in the form of videos, images and websites, directly to the members of the Group on the Group's platforms within their criteria of target audience. The Group's engager service helps the Group's clients achieve their marketing objectives by inviting the members of the Group, who are the target audience of the Group's client, to involve and engage in their advertising campaigns. In addition to the Group's established operations in Malaysia and the Philippines, the Company proposes to pursue geographic expansion into Thailand following reviews of the current developments within the country. The Company aims to further diversify its operations, tap into new customer segments, and enhance its overall competitive

positioning in the Southeast Asia region. Mr. Lee Wing Leung Garlos, the Executive Director and co-founder of the Group, is currently responsible for the overall management of the organization, overseeing all operations, including sales, marketing, client services, human resources, and finance, as well as the Group's business operations in the Southeast Asia region. The Company believes that Mr. Lee Wing Leung Garlos's extensive experience in fostering development in Southeast Asia will continue to contribute to the Group's geographic expansion strategy. The Group will further invest in targeted marketing efforts to reach new business clients, enhancing the Group's visibility and outreach. These development strategies were in line with the strategic plans as mentioned in the Interim Report, which the Company is of the view that such will facilitate substantial growth of the Group's business in the Southeast Asia region.

Additionally, especially for the PRC market, the Company intends to (i) further establish business network and infrastructure in the PRC and the related office expenses in operations in the PRC will also be covered to support the Group's expanding footprint; (ii) allocate funds for the development of new applications and interfaces, as well as the necessary server infrastructure, to improve user experience and functionality; and (iii) enhance the capabilities of the Group in developing tailored-made advertising strategies and content specifically designed for Xiaohongshu and Douyin, leveraging on their unique features and user demographics to create more engaging and effective campaigns that resonate with local consumers in the PRC.

We noted that according to the "The 14th Five-Year Plan for Advertising Industry Development" issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation in the PRC on 27 April 2022 (https://www.gov.cn/xinwen/2022-04/27/content_5687432.htm) and "Digital Economy Promotes Common Prosperity Implementation Plan" issued by both the National Development and Reform Commission and National Data Administration on 23 December 2023 (https://www.gov.cn/zhengce/zhengceku/202401/content_6924631.htm), the PRC government encourages digital marketing in the next five years and strongly support to the growth of the digital advertising market in the PRC. We also noted that the economic growth in Southeast Asia market in the next 10 years from the "Southeast Asia Outlook 2024-2034" jointly issued by Singapore Angsana Council, Bain & Co and DBS Bank (https://www.dbs.com.hk/treasures-private-client/aics/economics/templatedata/article/generic/data/en/GR/082024/240801_insights_sea_outlook.xml). The report predicts that the GDP of six major economies in Southeast Asia namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam will grow at an average annual rate of 5.1% by 2034, which is higher than other countries in the world, which demonstrated there is reasonable potential growth in the Southeast Asia market. Considering the weakening Hong Kong market driven by the changing consumption patterns of Hong Kong visitors and residents and the growing of PRC and Southeast Asia markets, we concurred with the Management that these geographical expansion plans in the PRC and Southeast Asia could possibly, enable the Company to capitalize on emerging opportunities and the increasing demand for digital advertising in these dynamic regions.

Furthermore, the Group will recruit individuals with Xiaohongshu accounts in the PRC, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Malaysia. These influencers will assist advertisers in promoting their brands, products, and services by posting engaging copy, photos, and videos on their accounts, thereby creating a viral impact. The Group also intended to

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

allocate approximately HK$7.0 million to strengthen the existing network, enhancing infrastructure and technology capabilities of the Group. These strategic plans are also in line with increasing manpower to reach out inactive and new customers and further promoting the new affiliate service to attract new clients as stated in the Interim Report.

To further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed use of Rights Issue proceeds, we have reviewed (i) the geographical expansion plan in the PRC and Southeast Asia and plan to strengthen the existing market; (ii) operating plans and budgets showing expected operation costs and marketing expenses; and (iii) background information on the management team of operations in the Southeast Asia region, including Mr. Lee Wing Leung Garlos, the Executive Director and co-founder of the Group, who has extensive experience in fostering development in Southeast Asia will continue to contribute to the Group's geographic expansion strategy. Ms. Cai Ying, the Executive Director of the Company, who has a solid background in media and advertising, with significant experience in the PRC. Her work in the media and advertising field has provided her with a good understanding on the industry dynamics. Besides, the Company will explore and intends to recruit additional personnel with expertise in media and advertising within the PRC. Based on our review of the documents, it is noted that (i) the approximately HK$25.5 million of net proceeds for cover the estimated operation expenses of approximately HK$16.8 million and marketing expense of approximately HK$8.7 million are expected to be fully utilized by the end of 2026; (ii) the operating plan demonstrates clear implementation timeline and resource requirements; and (iii) the management team of the Group possess the relevant knowledge and experience to provide technical expertise and industry know-how for the development of the online advertising services and promotion of the online platform of the Group.

As at 30 September 2024, the Group recorded total assets of approximately HK$12.7 million which mainly comprised cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$8.3 million. Taking into consideration the Group's business is asset-light in nature which securing borrowings from financial institutions would be more difficult without any pledged assets, the Directors consider that it is financially prudent for the Group to conduct equity financing by way of the Rights Issue to strengthen its general working capital reserve and to finance the development of its principal business.

As disclosed in the "Letter from the Board" in the Circular, assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue, the expected gross proceeds of the Rights Issue will be up to approximately HK$40.8 million and the relevant expenses would be approximately HK$2.3 million, which includes placing commission and professional fees payable to financial adviser, legal advisers and other parties involved in the Rights Issue. Accordingly, the estimated net proceeds of the Rights Issue, after deducting the related expense, will be up to approximately HK$38.5 million. The Company intends to apply approximately HK$25.5 million of the net proceeds from the Rights Issue for the expansion and development in the business of online advertising services and promotion of the online platform of the Group, among which (a) approximately HK$18.5 million will be dedicated to geographic expansion in Southeast Asia and PRC, thereby enabling the Company to capitalize on emerging opportunities and the increasing demand for digital advertising in these dynamic regions; and (b) approximately HK$7.0 million will be utilized to strengthen the existing network, enhancing infrastructure and technology

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

capabilities of the Group. Based on the information provided by the Management, we note that the Company would allocate the proceeds from the Rights Issue of approximately HK$13.0 million for its general working capital including but not limited to operational costs, staff costs, rental expenses, professional fees of the Group.

We have also obtained the details of proceeds for the general working capital. Based on the information provided by the management of the Company, we note that the Company would allocate the proceeds from the Rights Issue of approximately HK$13.0 million for its operational costs, staff costs, rental expenses, professional fees and other office overheads for around six to nine months.

In the event that there is an under-subscription of the Rights Issue, the net proceeds of the Rights Issue will be allocated and utilised in accordance with the same proportion to the above uses.

We are of the view that the proposed Rights Issue was in line with the Company's business plan as disclosed in the Interim Report, and it is reasonable for the Company to allocate the net proceeds into approximate 70/30 portion for its expansion and development in the business of online advertising services and promotion of the online platform of the Group (i.e. HK$25.5 million) versus replenishing the general working capital of the Group (i.e. HK$13.0 million), considering that the 70% of the Rights Issue proceeds is for investing in the revenue generating business which the Company will continue to strengthen (i) the existing network, enhancing infrastructure and technology capabilities of the Group; and (ii) the geographic expansion in Southeast Asia and PRC markets is expected to incur significant costs arising from the corresponding recruitment and marketing activities. Whilst the Company also need to sustain its administrative costs, a smaller proportion of the Rights Issue proceeds allocated to the general working capital is considered reasonable. After considering (i) the Group's financial position; (ii) proceeds from the Rights Issue with no additional financial burden to the Group to satisfy its expansion and development needs such as geographic expansion in Southeast Asia; (iii) the use of proceeds to strengthen the existing network, enhancing infrastructure and technology capabilities of the Group; (iv) the use of proceeds for the general working capital of the Group; and (v) the potential fund size from the Rights Issue, we consider that the equity fund raising by the Rights Issue can provide a sizeable financial resources for the expansion and the business development of the Group, therefore the Rights Issue is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

2.2 Fund-raising alternatives

We have discussed with the Management that the Board has considered the pros and cons of alternative fund-raising methods, including but not limited to debt financing and equity financing such as placing of the new Shares and open offer, before resolving to proceed with the Rights Issue, which are summarized as follows:

The Board noted that bank borrowing, if available, would result in an additional interest burden of the Company and create pressure to the liquidity of the Company. The restrictive covenants in the loan transaction documents as may be imposed by the bank will also restrict the business activities of the Group. Hence, the Board does not consider it

  • IFA-11 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

to be beneficial to the Company. As for placing new Shares, it would lead to immediate dilution in the shareholding interest of Shareholders without offering them the opportunity to participate in the enlarged capital base of the Company and it is relatively smaller in scale as compared to fund raising through rights issue. As for open offer, while it is similar to a rights issue, offering Qualifying Shareholders to participate, it does not allow free trading of rights entitlements in the open market. As opposed to the open offer, Rights Issue would allow Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the future development of the Company and at the same time offer more flexibility to the Qualifying Shareholders to choose whether to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding interests in the Company and dealing with the Shares. We are of the view that such consideration is fair and reasonable, given the Company places the Shareholders' right of interests as a priority, and the Shareholders also have the discretion to decide whether to participate in the proposed Rights Issue or not at a substantial discount of the prevailing market price of the Shares.

We are of the view that the proposed Rights Issue provides certainty and flexibility for the Shareholders in whether to get the proportionate entitlements with their respective shareholdings, which is fair and reasonable.

we also consider the arrangement of setting the placing price at or above the Subscription Price to be fair and reasonable.

According to the Placing Agreement, the Company will pay the Placing Agent a placing commission (the "Placing Commission") in Hong Kong Dollars of 3.0% of the amount which is equal to the placing price multiplied by the number of Unsubscribed Rights Shares and NQS Unsold Rights Shares successfully placed by the Placing Agent and/or its sub-placing agent(s). To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Placing Commission, we have considered the commission charged by placing agents of the Comparables (as defined below), where applicable. We noted that the placing commission paid by these companies ranged from 0% to 3.5%. The Placing Commission of 3.0% falls within the range of the Comparables. Hence, we consider that the Placing Commission pursuant to the Placing Agreement is fair and reasonable.

Taking into consideration (i) the Subscription Price and the Placing Price are fair and reasonable; (ii) the Placing offers additional means to raise funds for the Company; (iii) the competitive nature of the Placing Commission relative to market norms, we concur with the Management that the terms of the Rights Issue and the Placing are fair and reasonable.

3.3 Subscription Price

As stated in the "Letter from the Board" in the Circular, the Subscription Price was determined by the Company with reference to, among others, (i) the recent market price of the Shares under the prevailing market conditions; (ii) the prevailing market conditions of the capital market in Hong Kong; (iii) the financial position of the Group; and (iv) the amount of funds the Company intends to be raised under the Rights Issue. For details of the Directors' rationale for determining the Subscription Price, please refer to the section headed "REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS" under the "Letter from the Board" in the Circular.

The Subscription Price of HK$0.0850 per Rights Share represents:

(i) a discount of approximately 15.00% to the closing price of HK$0.1000 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

(ii) a discount of approximately 16.50% to the average closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.1018 per Share;

(iii) a discount of approximately 16.50% to the average closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 10 consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.1018 per Share;

  • IFA-19 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(iv) a discount of approximately 5.56% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.0900 per Share based on the closing price of HK$0.1000 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Announcement;

(v) a premium of approximately 319.24% to the latest published unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share as at 30 September 2024 of approximately HK$0.0203 (based on the interim report of the Company published on 26 November 2024 in relation to, among others, the interim results of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2024); and a theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) of approximately 11.58%, represented by the theoretical diluted price of approximately HK$0.0909 per Share to the benchmarked price (as defined under 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules, taking into account the closing price on the Last Trading Day of HK$0.1000 per Share and the average of the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the past five consecutive trading days prior to the date of the Announcement of approximately HK$0.1028 per Share) of approximately HK$0.1028 per Share.

The Directors consider that the discount of the Subscription Price would encourage Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and accordingly maintain their shareholdings in the Company and participate in the future growth and development of the Group. After taking into consideration the reasons for the Rights Issue as discussed under the section headed "2. Our view on reasons for the Rights Issue and the intended use of proceeds" in this letter, we consider the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, to be fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have performed a review on the daily closing prices and trading volume of the Shares from 7 February 2024 to and including the Last Trading Day (the "Share Price Review Period") (being a period of 12 months prior to and including the Last Trading Day) and compared with the Subscription Price. We consider that the Share Price Review Period is adequate and representative to illustrate the recent price movement of the Shares for conducting a reasonable comparison among the historical closing prices prior to the Announcement and such comparison is relevant for the assessment of the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, as the share price before the Announcement represent a fair market value of the Company and the Shareholders had expected, while that after the Announcement, the value may have taken into account the potential effect of the Rights Issue which may distort the analysis.

Historical closing price of the Share during the Share Price Review Period

img-0.jpeg

Source: the website of the Stock Exchange

During the Share Price Review Period, the closing prices of the Shares fluctuated between the lowest of HK$0.094 per Share and the highest of HK$0.315 per Share, with an average closing price of approximately HK$0.165 per Share. As shown in the above chart, the closing price of the Share generally showed a decreasing trend from the highest closing price of HK$0.315 per Share on 11 April 2024 to the lowest closing price of HK$0.094 per Share on 18 and 19 November 2024, which represents a decrease of approximately 70.2%. Overall, we did not notice any specific reasons for the aforementioned movements of the closing prices during the Share Price Review Period, save for (i) the publication of voluntary announcements of the Company in relation to disposals of shares by the substantial shareholder on 23 and 27 December 2024; (ii) the publication of announcement of the Company in relation to change of auditor on 12 December 2024; (iii) the publication of announcement of the Company in relation to issue of new shares under general mandate on 9 April 2024; (iv) the publication of Annual Report on 28 June 2024; and (v) the publication of Interim Report on 26 November 2024. As advised by the Management, the Company is also not aware of any reasons for the aforementioned Share price fluctuations. The reasons for these fluctuations remain unclear, aside from possible market reactions to announcements made by the Company during that time. Despite the obvious upward movements in April 2024, the overall trend indicates a consistent decrease in the closing prices throughout the Share Price Review Period.

  • IFA-21 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Subscription Price of HK$0.085 represents (i) a discount of approximately 73.02% to the highest closing price of HK$0.315 per Share; (ii) a discount of approximately 9.57% to the lowest closing price of HK$0.094 per Share; and (iii) a discount of approximately 48.50% to the average closing price of HK$0.165 per Share over the Share Price Review Period. Although the Subscription Price is out of range of the closing price of the Shares during the Share Price Review Period as mentioned above, after considering that (i) the closing price of the Shares has been decreasing during the Share Price Review Period which indicates that market sentiment to the Shares is relatively negative; (ii) the low liquidity of the Shares as discussed in sub-section headed "3.4 Historical trading liquidity of the Shares" below in this letter indicating that the Shares were generally illiquid in the open market and thus we consider that the Company is unlikely to be able to raise equity funds from third parties without a discount to the prevailing market price of the Shares; (iii) the funding needs for the expansion and development in the business of online advertising services and promotion of the online platform of the Group, and other intended usages as discussed in the section headed "2. Our view on the reasons for the Rights Issue and the intended use of proceeds" above in this letter; and (iv) it is a common market practice to set the subscription price at a discount to the prevailing market prices of the relevant shares in order to increase the attractiveness and encourage shareholders to participate in the rights issue and the Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 15.00% to the closing price of HK$0.1000 per Share on the Last Trading Day to encourage the existing shareholders to participate in a rights issue as to meet the need of equity fund raising. Such price discount is also within the range in the comparable analysis as discussed in the sub-section headed "3.5 Comparison with recent rights issue exercises" below in this letter, we consider that the discount of the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We noted from the above table that the liquidity of the Shares was generally thin during the Share Price Review Period, with an average daily trading volume of 919,137 Shares, representing approximately 0.3830% of the total issued Shares. The average daily trading volume of the Shares over total number of Shares in issue were in the range of approximately 0.0011% to approximately 3.0015% with an average of approximately 0.5636%, which demonstrated that the Shares are lack of liquidity in the open market. Investors are not actively trading the Shares.

Except for the months of December 2024 and January and February 2025, the average daily trading volume as a percentage to the total number of issued Shares during the Share Price Review Period were lower than 1.0%. After the PRC government announced to put forward its stimulus measures to bolster the economy and the stock market on 24 September 2024 which in turn affected the substantial surge of Hang Seng Index of the Hong Kong stock market, the trading liquidity of the Shares remained relatively thin.

In light of the analysis of the trading liquidity of the Shares during the Share Price Review Period, we are of the view that the Shares are in thin trading liquidity circumstances. Also, considering the Company recorded net loss position of approximately HK$4.2 million for the six months ended 30 September 2024, the Shareholders may be more conservative about purchasing more Shares.

Given the closing price of the Shares has been decreasing since April 2024 as shown above and the trading of the Shares was relatively thin during the Share Price Review Period as discussed above, we consider that the Company would likely face difficulty in raising equity funds from third parties without offering a substantial discount to the prevailing market price of the Shares. Considering the low trading liquidity and the closing price of the Shares has been decreasing during the Share Price Review Period, we are of the view that the Rights Issue is an appropriate equity financing method for the Group, and the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable.

3.5 Comparison with recent rights issues exercise

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have identified an exhaustive list of 38 rights issue transactions (the "Comparables") announced by other companies listed on the Stock Exchange during the period from 7 August 2024 up to the Last Trading Day (the "Comparable Review Period"), excluding those rights issue transactions that have been terminated as at the Last Trading Day or were proposed by companies, the shares of which were in prolonged suspension on the date of the relevant announcement with trading suspension for over three months or more according to the "Prolonged Suspension Status Report" released monthly by the Stock Exchange. Although the Comparables include rights issue on different basis, engaged in different business or have different financial performance and funding needs from the Company, having considered that: (i) all of the Comparables and the Company are listed on the Stock Exchange; (ii) our analysis is mainly concerned with the principal terms of the rights issue and we are not aware of any established evidence showing any correlation between the entitlement basis of the rights issue and its underlying principal terms; (iii) we have included transactions conducted by the Comparables with different funding needs and business represent a more comprehensive overall market sentiment in our

  • IFA-24 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

comparable analysis; (iv) an approximately six-month period for the selection of the Comparables has generated a reasonable samples size to reflect the market practice regarding rights issue in the recent period; and (v) the Comparables were included without any artificial selection or filtering on our part that so the Comparables represent a true and fair view of the recent market trends for similar rights issue transactions conducted by other issuers listed on the Stock Exchange, we consider that the list of Comparables are fair and representative samples. In addition, we consider that the Comparable Review Period is adequate and fair and representative given that (i) such period would provide us with the recent and relevant information in relation to the rights issue to demonstrate the prevailing market practices prior to the Last Trading Day under the prevailing market conditions; and (ii) we are able to identify sufficient number of samples of 38 representative Comparables that meet the aforesaid criteria for comparison analysis in such period.

Notes:

  1. Information has been extracted from the relevant announcements (including supplemental announcements) of the rights issue of the respective Comparables.
  2. "N/A" denotes that the announcement did not disclose such information.
  3. The theoretical dilution effect is calculated according to Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules or Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules.

As set out in the table above, we noted that:

(a) the discount/premium of subscription price to the closing price on the last trading day of the Comparables ranged from discount of approximately 73.68% to premium of approximately 16.28%, with the average of discounts being approximately 24.56%. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 15.00% to the closing price on the Last Trading Day, which is within the range and also much lower than the average discount of the Comparables;

(b) the discount/premium of subscription price to the theoretical ex-rights price of the Comparables ranged from discount of approximately 65.27% to premium of approximately 11.11%, with the average of discounts of approximately 24.56%. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 5.56% to the theoretical ex-rights price per Share on the Last Trading Day which is within the range and also much lower than the average discount of the Comparables;

(c) the theoretical dilution effect of the rights issue of the Comparables ranged from 0% to approximately 24.92%, with the average of approximately 13.81%. The theoretical dilution effect of the Rights Issue of approximately 11.58% is within the theoretical dilution range and lower than the average of the Comparables;

(d) the Rights Issue is on a non-underwritten basis, which is considered to be in line with market practice, given that 35 out of 38 Comparables were also conducted on a non-underwritten basis; and

(e) the placing commission rate of 3.0% under the Placing Agreement is within the range of the placing commission rates provided by the placing agents of the Comparables, which ranged from nil to 3.50% of the amount of fund raised.

We have also considered the comparison to the net asset value per Share for our analysis. However, given that (i) the Company is relatively asset-light in nature; and (ii) the Comparables had been traded at a substantial premium of approximately 162.35% to a discount of approximately 98.98%, with an average discount of approximately 60.01% to the consolidated net asset value per Share during the Comparable Review Period, we are

  • IFA-30 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

of the view that the net asset value per Share is not a meaningful benchmark for determining the Subscription Price.

As mentioned in the "Letter from the Board" in the Circular, there will be no excess application arrangements in relation to the Rights Issue. Amongst the Comparables, 22 out of 38 Comparables did not offer excess application for its shareholders. As such, we consider the absence of excess application in rights issue is not an uncommon market practice. Instead of excess application arrangement, the Company has arranged the Compensatory Arrangements and the Placing.

It is a common market practice to set the subscription price of a rights issue at a discount to the closing share prices on the last trading day and the theoretical ex-entitlement prices in order to enhance the attractiveness of the rights issue for encouraging qualifying shareholders to participate in the rights issue.

In view of (i) the recent general downward trend of the closing price of the Shares and the trading volume of the Shares during the Share Price Review Period was generally thin as discussed in the sub-section headed "3.4 Historical trading liquidity of the Shares" above in this letter; (ii) the discounts represented by the Subscription Price all fall within the range of the Comparables; and (iii) the Rights Issue is available to all Qualifying Shareholders, we consider that the principal terms of the Rights Issue (including the Subscription Price) to be fair and reasonable to the Shareholders and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3.6 Non-underwritten Basis

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptances of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. In the event the Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, any Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders will be placed to independent Places under the Compensatory Arrangements. Any Unsubscribed Rights Shares or NQS Unsold Rights Shares which are not placed under the Compensatory Arrangements will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly. There is no minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue. There are no applicable statutory requirements regarding minimum subscription levels in respect of the Rights Issue.

The Board considers that it is in the interests of the Company to proceed with the Rights Issue on a non-underwritten basis taking into consideration (i) there are no statutory requirements regarding the minimum subscription levels in respect of the Rights Issue and there is no minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue; (ii) in light of (a) the recent market performance of the Shares, in particular the Company's average daily trading volume during the six months prior to and including the Last Trading Day, indicated a lack of liquidity and demand for the Shares; and (b) the latest business performance and financial position of the Group, particularly the Group experienced a decrease in revenue and recorded net loss during the six months ended 30 September 2024, the Directors consider that there would be a lack of interest for underwriters to underwrite the Rights Shares; and (iii) the Subscription Price, being set at a discount to the

  • IFA-31 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

prevailing market prices of the Shares, shall encourage the Qualifying Shareholders and investors to participate in the Rights Issue, thereby raising the necessary funding for the Company. We noted that the proposed Rights Issue will be conducted on a non-underwritten basis. According to the "Letter from the Board" in the Circular, if the Rights Issue are not fully subscribed, the net proceeds will be allocated and utilised in accordance with the same proportion to the above uses. We considered that such consistency for application of the net proceeds is fair and reasonable together with our assessment on the fairness and reasonableness on the proposed proportion under the subsection headed "2.1 The funding needs".

It is noted that 35 out of the 38 Comparable were conducted on a non-underwritten basis, which suggested that it is common practice for the recent period that the rights issue was conducted on a non-underwritten basis.

4. Possible financial effects of the Rights Issue

It should be noted that the analysis below is for illustrative purpose only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will become upon completion of the Rights Issue and the Placing.

4.1 Net tangible assets

With reference to "Unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group" as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the unaudited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company as at 30 September 2024 amounted to approximately HK$4.9 million. Upon completion of the Rights Issue, the Group will have unaudited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to owners of the Company being approximately HK$43.4 million.

4.2 Liquidity

The estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue are expected to enhance the Group's current assets by approximately HK$40.8 million (assuming full acceptance by Qualifying Shareholders) and the Rights Issue is expected to improve the Group's liquidity position immediately after its completion.

Considering that (i) the financial position would be improved; and (ii) the Group's negotiation power for future fundraising opportunities with the third parties financial institutions will be strengthened and improved financial performance, we are of the view that the overall financial impact to the Group upon completion of the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

We draw attention to the Independent Board Committee and Independent Shareholders that the above analysis is based on a fully subscription basis. Subject to the fulfilment of conditions, the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptance of provisionally allotted Rights Shares. Accordingly, if the Rights Issue is undersubscribed, the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

5. Possible dilution effect on the interests of other public Shareholders

All Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares. For those Qualifying Shareholders who take up their full provisional allotments under the Rights Issue, their shareholding interests in the Company will remain unchanged after the Rights Issue. Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Rights Shares can, subject to the then-prevailing market conditions, consider selling their nil-paid rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares in the market. However, they should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted upon completion of the Rights Issue.

With reference to the shareholding tables in the section headed "EFFECTS ON THE SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY" of the "Letter from the Board" in the Circular, the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders would be diluted by a maximum of approximately 66.70% immediately after completion of the Rights Issue (assuming nil acceptance of the Rights Shares by the Qualifying Shareholders and all Unsubscribed Rights Shares and NQS Unsold Rights Shares have been placed by the Placing Agent).

With reference to the Letter from the Board, there will be a theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) of approximately 11.58% discount represented by the theoretical diluted price of approximately HK$0.0909 per Share to the benchmarked price of approximately HK$0.1028 per Share (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules).

Having considered (i) the dilution effect is not prejudicial as all Qualifying Shareholders are offered an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital base of the Company and Shareholders' interests in the Company will not be diluted if they elect to exercise their full provisional allotments under the Rights Issue; (ii) the Qualifying Shareholders have the opportunity to realise their nil-paid rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares in the market, subject to availability; (iii) the Independent Shareholders are offered a chance to express their views on the terms of the Rights Issue through their votes at the EGM; and (iv) the Compensatory Arrangements will provide a compensatory mechanism for the Shareholders who take no action, we are of the view that the potential dilution effect on the shareholding, which may only happen to the Qualifying Shareholders who decide not to subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares, is acceptable and justifiable.

  • IFA-33 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into consideration of the above principal factors and reasons regarding the major terms of the Rights Issue, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Rights Issue (including the Subscription Price and the potential dilution effect) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Rights Issue.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

Grande Capital Limited

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

(III) WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors, after due and careful consideration, are of the opinion that, taking into consideration the estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue and the financial resources available to the Group including internally generated funds, bank and other facilities, the Group will have sufficient working capital for its operation for at least twelve months from the date of this circular.

(IV) MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

The Board confirmed that there has been no material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 March 2024, being the date to which the latest published audited accounts of the Group were made up, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.

(V) FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Group principally engages in the provision of online advertising services, which consist of social viral service, engager service and mass blogging service. Its business primarily operates in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and the Philippines. The Group's services are delivered via its self-developed platforms, which allow clients to match their advertising campaigns or contents with the Group's relevant members based on their demographic details and behaviours, such as consumption patterns of certain products and services and brand preferences.

The Group has recorded approximately 22.1% decrease in revenue to approximately HK$11,767,000 (2023: approximately HK$15,105,000) for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Gross profit (after reversal of JAG points, i.e. the points which the Group distributes the reward to its members to participate in the Group's advertising campaigns) decreased by approximately 32.9% to approximately HK$4,012,000 (2023: approximately HK$5,983,000) for the year ended 31 March 2024. The Group recorded a loss for the year ended 31 March 2024 of approximately HK$13,209,000 (2023: loss of approximately HK$16,349,000).

During the year ended 31 March 2024, approximately 71.8% of the Group's revenue (2023: approximately 73.0%) was generated from clients in Hong Kong, while approximately 23.9% (2023: approximately 20.6%) of the Group's revenue was generated from clients in Taiwan. Southeast Asia regions contributed approximately 4.3% (2023: approximately 6.4%) of the revenue to the Group.

During the year ended 31 March 2024, revenue from Hong Kong decreased from approximately HK$11,034,000 for the year ended 31 March 2023 to approximately HK$8,450,000 for the year ended 31 March 2024, representing approximately 23.4% decrease. The changing consumption patterns of Hong Kong visitors and residents pose challenges to the overall economic and business environment. Hong Kong business was significantly impacted in the last quarter of the year ended 31 March 2024 amidst the weak economic momentum and increasing competition from other online advertising service providers. The Group will continue to adjust its service mix while exploring new business opportunities to better meet clients' needs.


APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

During the year ended 31 March 2024, the operating environment in Taiwan continued to be challenging, mainly attributable to the changing behaviour of internet users, increasing competition from other online advertising service providers and instability of economy. The Group is also coping with a shift of focus on service type. With the various challenges encountered, the revenue from Taiwan for the year ended 31 March 2024 decreased to approximately HK$2,810,000 (2023: approximately HK$3,114,000). The Group will continue to strengthen its relationship with its key partners to seize opportunities with more effort on reaching out to them as well as potential clients.

The post-pandemic recovery of advertising activities in Southeast Asia continue to be slower than expected. During the year ended 31 March 2024, revenue contribution from Southeast Asia markets fell to approximately HK$507,000 from approximately HK$957,000 in the year ended 31 March 2023.

The Group's net loss was approximately HK$13,209,000 for the year ended 31 March 2024 compared to approximately HK$16,349,000 net loss for the year ended 31 March 2023. The decrease in net loss was mainly attributable to the decrease in other loss in the year ended 31 March 2024.

As a result of weaker economies following a slower than expected post-pandemic recovery, the advertising industry in those markets we operate in remain to be sluggish. Advertisers are reluctant to increase their advertising spending and are especially cautious about experimenting new media channels. Maintaining existing client spending and developing new customer base both present major challenges to the Group.

To weather through this adverse environment, the Group plans to rejuvenate sales with additional efforts to strengthen brand awareness and sales support. We intend to enhance spending on promotions and communications with advertisers and media agencies in order to become their preferred, top-of-mind choice for media platform. Extra trial incentives and offers will also be introduced to attract potential clients and strengthen our business development effort. Furthermore, we will explore new business opportunities and continue to invest in product development to ensure our advertising services remain competitive in the fast-changing digital advertising industry.

As at 31 March 2024, the Group had total assets of approximately HK$15,257,000 (2023: approximately HK$25,920,000), which was financed by total liabilities and shareholders' equity (comprising share capital and reserves) of approximately HK$9,781,000 (2023: approximately HK$8,226,000) and approximately HK$5,476,000 (2023: approximately HK$17,694,000) respectively. The current ratio, being the ratio of current assets to current liabilities, as at 31 March 2024 was 1.5 times (2023: 3.1 times). The gearing ratio, being the ratio of bank loan to total equity, of the Group as at 31 March 2024 was nil (2023: nil) due to the absence of bank borrowings for the year ended 31 March 2024.

The Group has recorded approximately 41.5% decrease in revenue to approximately HK$3,776,000 (2023: approximately HK$6,456,000) for the six months ended 30 September 2024. Gross profit (after reversal of JAG points i.e. the points which the Group distributes to reward its members to participate in the Group's advertising campaigns) decreased by approximately 36.5% to approximately HK$1,476,000 (2023: approximately HK$2,326,000). The Group recorded a loss of approximately HK$4,244,000 (2023: a loss of approximately HK$6,716,000) for the six months ended 30 September 2024.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

During the six months ended 30 September 2024, approximately 59.3% of the Group's revenue (2023: approximately 79.7%) was generated from clients in Hong Kong, while approximately 35.5% (2023: approximately 16.3%) was generated from clients in Taiwan. Southeast Asia regions contributed approximately 5.2% (2023: approximately 4.0%) of the revenue to the Group.

During the six months ended 30 September 2024, revenue from Hong Kong decreased to approximately HK$2,241,000 from approximately HK$5,144,000 in the six months ended 30 September 2023, representing a decrease of approximately 56.4%. The changing consumption patterns of Hong Kong visitors and residents continued to pose challenges to the overall economic and business environment. Hong Kong business struggled amidst the weak economic momentum as well as increasing competition from other online advertising service providers. To cope with the decline, the Group's Hong Kong team has increased manpower to reach out inactive and new customers while adjusting its service mix to enhance the performance and efficiency. The Group will also explore new business opportunities to better meet clients' needs and expectations.

During the six months ended 30 September 2024, the business in Taiwan has improved with more outreach to potential clients. However, the operating environment continued to be challenging, mainly attributable to the changing behaviour of internet users and increasing competition from other online advertising service providers. The Group is dealing with the change with a shift of focus on service type. With a mix of effort and challenge, the revenue from Taiwan for the six months ended 30 September 2024 has turned around and increased to approximately HK$1,340,000 (2023: approximately HK$1,054,000), representing an increase of approximately 27.1%.

Due to the intensifying competition in Southeast Asia with new, established platforms emerging, the Southeast Asia operations continue to face major challenges. As a result, the total revenue from the operations in Southeast Asia was approximately HK$195,000 in the six months ended 30 September 2024 (2023: approximately HK$258,000), representing a decrease of approximately 24.4%.

The Group's net loss was approximately HK$4,244,000 for the six months ended 30 September 2024 as compared to approximately HK$6,716,000 for the six months ended 30 September 2023. The decrease in net loss was mainly attributable to the decrease in administrative and other operating expenses for the six months ended 30 September 2024.

As at 30 September 2024, the Group had total assets of approximately HK$12,708,000 (as at 31 March 2024: approximately HK$15,257,000), which is financed by total liabilities and shareholders' equity (comprising share capital and reserves) of approximately HK$7,842,000 (as at 31 March 2024: approximately HK$9,781,000) and approximately HK$4,866,000 (as at 31 March 2024: approximately HK$5,476,000) respectively. The current ratio, being the ratio of current assets to current liabilities, as at 30 September 2024 was 1.6 times (as at 31 March 2024: 1.5 times). The gearing ratio, being the ratio of bank loan to total equity, of the Group as at 30 September 2024 was nil (as at 31 March 2024: nil) due to absence of bank borrowings for the six months ended 30 September 2024.
