25、254,754 8NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS1.BASIS OF PREPARATIONThe condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Accounting Standard(“HKAS”)34“Interim Financial Reporting”issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Ce
26、rtified Public Accountants(the“HKICPA”)and with the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix D2 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities(the“Listing Rules”)on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited(the“Stock Exchange”).In preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statemen
27、ts,the directors of the Company considered that the Group is able to continue as a going concern notwithstanding that the Group incurred a loss attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately HK$16,968,000 during the period,and as of that date,the Groups current liabilities exceeded its c
28、urrent assets by approximately HK$372,518,000.As at 31 December 2024,the Group had bank loans of HK$879,727,000 that were classified as current liabilities while the Group only maintained its cash and cash equivalents of HK$59,387,000.When assessing the appropriateness of the use of the going concer
29、n basis for the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements,the directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the future liquidity and performance of the Group and the Groups available source of financing,having regard to the following plans and measure,in a
30、ssessing whether the Group will have sufficient financial resources to continue as a going concern:1.Subsequent to reporting date,the Group continued to handover completed units of properties for sale to buyers,with a total consideration of approximately HK$60,200,000,together with remaining propert
31、ies are expected to be sold at a margin sufficient to cover relevant bank loans outstanding balance.Any surplus funds after repaying the bank loans will be used as additional working capital for the Group;2.The directors of the Company expected that the bank loans classified as current liabilities c
32、ould be repaid as scheduled or renewed upon expiry,based on the Groups past good track records of compliance,including timely settlement and the availability of sufficient assets as collaterals.In addition,the Group has undrawn banking facilities over HK$283,000,000 for working capital purpose;and3.
33、The Group will continue its effort to enhance its operations and implement measures to tighten cost control over various operating expenses to improve its cash flows from operations to strengthen the working capital of the Group.In the opinion of the directors,taking into account the above plans and
34、 measures,the Group will have sufficient working capital to finance its operation and meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due.Accordingly,the directors consider it is appropriate to prepare the condensed consolidated interim financial statements on a going concern basis.91.BASIS OF
35、PREPARATION(CONTINUED)Should the Group fail to achieve the above plans and measures,it might not be able to continue as a going concern,and adjustments would have to be made to write down the carrying value of the Groups assets to their recoverable amounts,to provide for any further liabilities whic

107、)was due to a related company which is owned by Ms.Cheng Siu Yin,Shirley and Mr.Chan Wai Lap,Victor.24MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISOPERATING RESULTSThe Groups consolidated revenue for the six months ended 31 December 2024 recorded an increase of approximately HK$129,143,000 or 65%from the last
108、interim period of HK$200,183,000 to HK$329,326,000.The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the sales of properties of HK$152,886,000.During the period under review,loss attributable to owners of the Company was HK$16,968,000,as compared to loss attributable to owners of the Company of HK$
109、31,677,000 for the corresponding period last year.For the six months ending 31 December 2024,basic loss per share was HK2.48 cents(2023:basic loss per share of HK4.64 cents).BUSINESS REVIEWDuring the reporting period,the jewellery sector continued to face a challenging operating environment,exacerba
110、ted by persistent macroeconomic uncertainties.Collectively slower-than-expected global economic growth,inflationary pressures,compounded with high interest rate,and heightened geopolitical tensions,overall hindered global recovery.These factors,coupled with weak consumer sentiment and cautious purch
111、asing behavior,adversely impacted demand for luxury products,including jewellery.The record-breaking gold prices further compounded the challenges,as customers deferred jewellery purchases amidst the volatile market environment.In response,retailers adopted conservative inventory management strategi
112、es,closely monitoring stock levels and reducing replenishment orders.These factors collectively contributed to a decline in the Groups jewellery segment revenue,which decreased by approximately HK$25,546,000 or 14%,from HK$187,901,000 in the prior interim period to HK$162,355,000 for the six months
113、ended 31 December 2024.Despite the revenue decline,the Group remained resilient by implementing various cost control measures to navigate the difficult market conditions.As a result,the jewellery segment achieved a profit of HK$7,759,000 for the six months ended 31 December 2024,representing a turna
114、round from the loss of HK$8,804,000 recorded in the last interim period.Looking ahead,the Group is committed to strengthening its competitive edge through enhanced merchandising initiatives.It continues to improve by expanding its R&D efforts,focusing on the development of more market-adaptable prod
115、ucts,such as lightweight jewellery items,that cater to evolving consumer preferences and respond effectively to macro-environmental trends.Additionally,the Group is optimizing its production and logistics processes to ensure faster delivery times,enabling greater flexibility to adapt to shifting buy
116、ing patterns while delivering enhanced value-added services.In 2024,Hong Kongs real estate market faced significant challenges as the struggle for recovery persisted amidst a high-interest rate environment and a reduced demand compounded by oversupply of properties.Both residential and commercial se
117、ctors experienced downward pressure on prices and rents,making the year particularly difficult for developers and investors alike.25The Groups revenue from sales of properties and rental income during the period amounted to approximately HK$152,886,000 and HK$12,996,000 respectively,representing an
118、increase of HK$155,499,000 from the corresponding period of 2023 of HK$10,383,000.The substantial increase in revenue was mainly from the sale of a residential project,Amber Place during the period.As at the date of this report,Amber Place has achieved total contracted sales of approximately HK$213,
119、100,000,of which HK$152,886,000 has been recognized as revenue in the reporting period whilst HK$60,214,000 is anticipated to be recognized as revenue in the second half of the financial year ending 30 June 2025 upon the handover of the completed units to buyers.Out of a total of 42 residential unit
120、s,36 units have entered contracted sales,representing approximately 85.7%of the total.Revenue from rental income during the period amounted to approximately HK$12,996,000,representing an increase of HK$2,613,000 compared to the corresponding period in 2023,which recorded HK$10,383,000.The growth in
121、rental income was primarily attributed to One Continental(恒匯中心),where more units were successfully leased out during the period.In December 2021,the Group acquired six properties located at No.164-164A Boundary Street,Kowloon,with a site area of approximately 5,054 sq.ft.and a developable gross floo
122、r area of approximately 25,270 sq.ft.Demolition of the old building has been completed,and the intention is to redevelop into a residential development.“One Continental(恒匯中心)”is located at No.232 Wan Chai Road,Hong Kong.The Group currently holds 75%of the interests in“One Continental”,a premium grad
123、e office and retail composite building of 28-storey tall with a gross floor area of approximately 86,970 sq.ft.Despite the challenges posed by oversupplies and high financing costs,the Group managed to secure quality tenants during the second half of 2024.The Group owns 90%of its interests in the si
124、te at No.1 of Cheung Wah Street,Cheung Sha Wan,Kowloon,with a site area of approximately 3,240 sq.ft.The site has been developed into a 25-storey residential development with a 2-storey retail podium/high-rise composite building,with a gross floor area of approximately 29,147 sq.ft.The project has b
125、een named“Amber Place(恒珀)”and the occupation permit has been obtained in July 2023.The residential development offers a total of 42 residential units.The Group holds certain investment properties comprising 12 floors of commercial properties located at No.65 Castle Peak Road,Yuen Long,and 2 shops wi
126、th several office units located at No.19-23 Hart Avenue,Kowloon.The investment properties are generating a stable rental income for the Group during the period.With a diverse and balanced property portfolio,the Group remains committed to navigating the challenging real estate environment.The Group b
127、elieves that its strategic investments and projects will continue to generate steady income and long-term returns,even as the broader market faces downward pressure.26In the mining,operation at Hongzhuang Gold Mine was minimised.The Company was focused on the exploration at the north eastern of Yuan
128、ling.Meanwhile,we will continue developing new shaft and re-visiting the old shaft in the Yuanling mine site.No revenue was recorded for the period under review as these mines did not carry out any production activities.Apart from the minimal operations on both mines,no large-scale capital investmen
129、t was carried out during the period under review.BUSINESS PROSPECTSThe Group remains cautiously optimistic despite ongoing challenges in both the jewellery and property sectors.In the jewellery segment,global economic uncertainties,elevated gold prices,and restrained consumer spending are expected t
130、o persist.To navigate these challenges,the Group will maintain adaptability and flexibility in product development while exercising prudence in managing its cost structure.In the property segment,Hong Kongs real estate market continues to face pressure due to high interest rates and oversupply.The G
131、roup will prioritize maximizing occupancy rates,especially at properties like One Continental,and adopt flexible leasing strategies to navigate the tenant-favorable market conditions.By maintaining a balanced approach,leveraging our portfolio,and implementing cost control measures,the Group aims to
132、generate steady income and returns while positioning ourselves to capitalize on future recovery opportunities in both sectors.INTERIM DIVIDENDThe Board does not recommend any payment of an interim dividend for the six months ended 31 December 2024(2023:Nil).LIQUIDITY,FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND GEARINGA
