| (a) |
The
increase in other payables as at March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by 1) a USD 100,000
share-based payment liability recognized in connection with stock-funded compensation granted
to non-executive directors, which is accounted for as a cash-settled transaction; and 2)
the inclusion of value-added tax payables assumed from the newly acquired subsidiaries following
the completion of three business acquisitions during the financial year.

|
| (b) |
The
increase in accrued expenses as at March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by 1) professional
fees incurred in connection with the Group’s M&A activities of $1.1 million; 2) higher accrued
audit fees following the Company’s transition to an accelerated filer status, which
required a comprehensive integrated audit for the first time; and 3) a general growth in
accrued salaries and wages resulting from the expansion of the Group’s combined workforce
following the completion of three business acquisitions during the year.
