First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

Revenue

Revenue was HK$12.5 million (US$1.6 million) for the six months ended June 30,which decreased by 11.9% from HK$14.2 million for the same period last year,primarily because of a plunge in revenue from initial set up,installation and customization services,liquidity service and quotes/news/package subscription services,partially offset by an increase in subscriptions,support and maintenance services,and white label service.

Revenue from initial set up,installation and customization services was HK$1.1 million (US$0.1 million) for the six months ended June 30,which decreased by 69.8% from HK$3.7 million for the same period last year. The decrease was mainly due to the decreased demand for customization services.

Revenue from subscriptions was HK$5.4 million (US$0.7 million) for the six months ended June 30,which increased by 7.3% from HK$5.0 million for the same period last year. The increase in subscription revenue represented an increase in the access right to the Company's trading platforms granted to those customers to whom it had delivered the initial set up or customization of the trading platforms in the prior year.

Revenue from hosting,support and maintenance services was HK$2.3 million (US$0.3 million) for the six months ended June 30,which increased by 17.7% from HK$2.0 million for the same period last year. The increase in this revenue stream aligned with the increment in licensing revenue.

Revenue from liquidity services was HK$1.0 million (US$0.1 million) for the six months ended June 30,which decreased by 20.4% from HK$1.2 million for the same period last year. The decrease was mainly due to a lower transaction volume.

Revenue from white label services was HK$1.5 million (US$0.2 million) for the six months ended June 30,which increased by 55.6% from HK$1.0 million for the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to the growth in the number of customers in this revenue stream.

Revenue from quotes/news/package subscription services was HK$1.2 million (US$0.2 million) for the six months ended June 30,which decreased by 10.4% from HK$1.3 million for the same period last year. The decrease was driven by the type of data feed service package subscribed by the customers. During the six months ended June 30,the Company's customers subscribed to the basic data feed service instead of premium service package.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue was HK$7.2 million (US$0.9 million) for the six months ended June 30,which increased by 4.2% from HK$6.9 million for the same period last year,which was mainly driven by a spike in employee compensation and benefits by HK$0.9 million,partially offset by a reduction in amortization of intangible assets by HK$0.6 million.

General and administrative expenses wereHK$10.6 million (US$1.4 million) for the six months ended June 30,compared to HK$4.6 million for the same period last year,because of a surge in employee compensation and benefits of HK$1.8 million,insurance expense of HK$0.4 million,legal and professional fees of HK$3.7 million and travel expenses by HK$0.1 million. During the six months ended June 30,the Company offered an appreciation bonus and compensation increase to its executives and staff.
