Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of all subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances, transactions and cash flows are eliminated on consolidation.

Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the Company is United States Dollar. The functional currency of the subsidiaries is Hong Kong dollar.

In the individual financial statements of the consolidated entities, foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the individual entity using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the reporting date retranslation of monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. There were no foreign currency transaction change recorded during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 respectively.

2.           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

In the consolidated financial statements, all individual financial statements originally presented in a currency different from the Company’s reporting currency have been converted into Hong Kong dollars. Assets and liabilities have been translated into Hong Kong dollars at the closing rates at the reporting date. Income and expenses have been converted into the Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates, or at the average rates over the reporting period provided that the exchange rates do not fluctuate significantly. Any differences arising from this procedure have been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in the shareholders’ equity.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with the US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates relate to allowances for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand and demand deposits with banks with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Allowance for doubtful account

Other receivables are written off if reasonable collection efforts are not successful.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, at the following rates per annum:

Motor vehicles

    

20

%

Computer equipment

 

33.33

%

Furniture & office equipment

20

%

Fixtures & Fittings

 

20

%

The assets’ estimated residual values, depreciation methods and estimated useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

The gain or loss arising on retirement or disposal is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

All other costs, such as repairs and maintenance are charged to the operations during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Leases

The Group adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), which generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements.

The Group is the lessee of non-cancellable operating leases for a corporate office premise for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Group determines if the arrangements are lease at inception. A lease for which substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to ownership remain with the lessor is classified by the lessee as an operating lease. The lease standard, ASC 842, allows for practical expedients to simplify an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Group has elected to apply the short-term lease exception for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Consequently, these short-term leases are not reflected on the balance sheet as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets or operating lease liabilities. Therefore, the Group chooses not to recognize these leases on the balance sheet. Instead, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, the Group recorded rental expenses of HK$Nil, HK$41 and HK$412, included in selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Group periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.

Intangible asset

Intangible asset consists of acquired golf club membership. Intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the intangible asset of HK$438 is disposed to an independent third party at the same amount.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Group has no financial instruments that are measured at fair value.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short term bank deposits, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.

Selling, general and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of office expenses, depreciation, legal and professional expenses, directors’ compensation, insurances, transportation and motor vehicles related expenses.

Comprehensive income

The Group presents comprehensive income in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 “Comprehensive Income”. FASB ASC 220 states that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in the consolidated financial statements. The components of comprehensive income were the net income for the periods and the foreign currency translation adjustments.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 740 “Income taxes”, which requires an entity to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all temporary differences at enacted rates and classified as current or non-current based upon the classification of the related asset or liability in the consolidated financial statements. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all, the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Group recognizes a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position when, in its judgment, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. For a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Group initially and subsequently measures the tax benefit as the largest amount that the Group judges to have a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The Group’s liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted periodically due to changing circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, case law developments and new or emerging legislation. Such adjustments are recognized entirely in the period in which they are identified. The Group’s effective tax rate includes the net impact of changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and subsequent adjustments as considered appropriate by management. The Group classifies interest and penalties recognized on the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and underpaid taxes as income tax expense.

Earnings per share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share gives effect to all dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential ordinary shares had been issued. In computing the dilutive effect of potential ordinary shares, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of derivative securities.

Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the period in which they are approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Group is subject to claims arising in the conduct of its business, including claims relating to employees and public authorities, if applicable. In determining whether liabilities should be recorded for pending litigation claims, an assessment of the claims is made and the likelihood that the Group will be able to defend itself successfully against such claims is evaluated. When it is believed probable that the Group will not prevail in a particular matter, an estimate is made of the amount of liability based, in part, on advice of legal counsel.

Adoption of new accounting standard

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). The ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosure about significant segment expenses. The enhancements under this update require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, require disclosure of other segment items by reportable segment and a description of the composition of other segment items, required annual disclosure under ASC 280 to be provided in interim periods, clarify use of more than one measure of segment profit or loss by the CODM, require that the title of the CODM be disclosed with an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss to make decisions, and require that entities with a single reportable segment provide all disclosures required by this update and required under ASC 280. The Group adopted AUS 2023-07 for the annual period ended December 31, 2024, retrospectively to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statement. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which requires public entities to disclose specific tax rate reconciliation categories, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, amongst other disclosure enhancements. The ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The ASU can be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures”, which focuses on improving the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB including the aforesaid two, or other standards-setting bodies for adoption by the Company or that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
