Six Month Financial Results Ended June 30, 2025
Revenue. Revenue increased by 5.3% from HK$22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to HK$23.9 million (US$3.1 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which was mainly contributed by the revenue of HK$1.5 million (US$0.2 million) from Miracle Media Production Limited (“Miracle Media”), following the completion of the acquisition of Miracle Media on February 28, 2025.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 4.9 times from HK$6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to HK$29.4 million (US$3.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which was mainly due to (i) an increase in the number of staff and the general and administrative expenses after the completion of acquisition of Miracle Media on February 28, 2025, (ii) the incurrence of issuance expenses relating to the standby equity purchase agreement entered into in November 2024, and (iii) an increase in the professional fee and post-listing expenses in related thereto.
Selling and distribution expenses. Selling and distribution expenses increased by 10.0% from HK$3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to HK$3.3 million (US$0.4 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which was mainly due to an increase in the number of staff in our sales team and an increase in other expenses on business development and marketing. In light of the reduction of capital market activities in Hong Kong, we have engaged extra resources on sales and marketing with the view to maintain our market presence.
Net loss. Net loss for the period ended June 30, 2025 was HK$20.4 million (US$2.6 million), as compared with the net profit of HK$0.8 million for the same period in 2024, which was mainly due to the increase in general and administrative expenses, and selling and distribution expenses.
