Market risk
Interest rate risk
The following table details the interest rate profile of the Company’s borrowings of March 31, 2026 and 2025:
Fluctuations in market interest rates may negatively affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company is exposed to floating interest rate on floating rate bank borrowings and bank overdrafts. The Company has not used any derivative financial instruments to manage the interest rate exposure.
At March 31, 2026 and 2025, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have decreased/increased the Company’s profit before tax by HK$46,915 and HK$26,236 respectively.
The sensitivity analysis above indicates the instantaneous change in the Company’s profit after tax that would arise assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the end of the reporting period and had been applied to re-measure those financial instruments held by the Company which expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk at the end of the reporting period. In respect of the exposure to cash flow interest rate risk arising from floating rate non-derivative instruments held by the Company at the end of the reporting period, the impact on the group’s profit before tax is estimated as an annualized impact on interest expense or income of such a change in interest rates.
Credit risk and impairment assessment
As at March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amounts of the recognized financial assets as stated in the statement of financial position.
Trade receivables arising from contracts with customers
In order to minimize the credit risk, management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. The Group only extends credit to customers based on careful evaluation of the customers’ financial conditions and credit history. Credit sales are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. The Group performs impairment assessment under ECL model upon application of IFRS 9 on trade receivables. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

Credit risk and impairment assessment - continued
Other receivables
The Group assessed the impairment for its other receivables individually based on internal credit rating and ageing of these debtors which, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, have no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. ECL is estimated based on historical observed default rates over the expected life of debtors and is adjusted for forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. Based on the impairment assessment performed by the Group, the management of the Group considers the loss allowance for other receivables within lifetime ECL was insignificant and accordingly no allowance for losses is provided.
Deposits
Deposits comprise refundable security deposits for leases and other deposits for management fee and utility. The Group assesses credit risk and measures loss allowances for deposits using the ECL model. The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, in which case lifetime ECLs are recognized. Based on the impairment assessment performed by the Group, the management of the Group considers the loss allowance for deposits was insignificant and accordingly no allowance for losses is provided.
Cash and cash equivalent
The credit risk on bank balances is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The Company maintains the bank accounts in Hong Kong. Cash balances in bank accounts in Hong Kong are insured under the Deposit Protection Scheme introduced by the Hong Kong Government for a maximum amount of HK$500,000.
Significant concentration of credit risk
The Group’s concentration of credit risk on trade receivables by geographical locations is in Hong Kong and Macau. The Group has no other significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties.
The Group’s internal credit risk grading assessment on trade receivables and other financial assets comprise the following categories:

Note:
During the year ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there are no net impairment loss allowance related to trade receivables.
Liquidity risk
In management of the liquidity risk, the Group has obtained financial support from its shareholders, which has agreed to provide adequate funds to enable the Group to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future and not to demand for repayment until the Group has financial ability to do so. The Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Group relies on bank and other borrowings and shareholder contribution as significant sources of liquidity. The management monitors the utilization of bank and other borrowings and ensures compliance with the relevant loan covenants.
The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of the financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. Specifically bank borrowing with a repayment on demand clause are included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities are based on the agreed repayment dates.

The directors believe that such loans will be repaid five years after the end of the reporting period in accordance with the scheduled repayment dates set out in the loan agreements, details of which are set out in the table below. The aggregate principal and interest cash outflows of bank and other borrowings with a repayment on demand clause are amounted to HK$7,872,989 (2025: HK$36,656,459).
