| ● | Our revenue was approximately HK$4,503,000 (US$572,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of approximately 3% from the same period in 2024. |
| ● | Net loss was approximately HK$17,800,000 (US$2,270,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (June 30, 2024: net losses approximately HK$3,788,000). |
Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Revenue
Revenue increased by approximately 3% from approximately HK$4,392,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately HK$4,503,000 (approximately US$572,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was mainly caused by the increase in securities brokerage commission by 50% to HKD1,353,000 (approximately US$172,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from HKD900,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as a result of better market sentiment in investing in the Hong Kong stock market. The increase in securities brokerage commission was offset by the decrease in interest income, which decreased by approximately 19% to approximately HK1,378,000 (approximately US$175,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately HK$1,707,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as a result of tightened measures applied on the margin loans business by the Company.

Compensation and benefits expenses.
Compensation and benefits expenses increased from approximately HK$4,240,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately HK$8,475,000 (approximately US$1,080,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
