GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Notes:
BASIS OF PREPARATION
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim results have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and are prepared under the historical cost convention and the disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim results should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS Accounting Standards").
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim results have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2025 annual financial statements, except for all the new and amendments to HKFRS Accounting Standards issued by the HKICPA that are relevant to its operations and effective for its annual period beginning on 1 April 2025. The adoption of these new and amendments to HKFRS Accounting Standards did not result in significant changes to the Group's accounting policies, presentation of the Group's unaudited condensed consolidated interim results and amounts reported for the current period and prior periods.
Adoption of the going concern basis
When preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated interim results, the Group's ability to continue as a going concern has been assessed. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim results have been prepared by the Directors on a going concern basis notwithstanding that the Group had net current liabilities and net liabilities of approximately HK$117,382,000 and HK$141,076,000 respectively as at 30 September 2025 as the Directors considered that:
Ms. Huang Li, being the sole beneficial owner of the ultimate holding company of the Group, has agreed to provide continuing financial support to the Group;
On 11 June 2025, Mr. Tang Sing Ming Sherman ("Mr. Tang"), as a lender, who is also the sole beneficial owner of the convertible bonds ("Convertible Bonds") issued by the Company, signed a memorandum of loans with a subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which repayment date of a loan from Mr. Tang with an outstanding balance of principal and interest of approximately HK$100,606,000 as at 31 March 2025 was extended (the "Extension") from 22 June 2025 to 22 June 2026 (the "Extended Loan"). The Extended Loan bears the same term after the Extension.
Subsequent to 31 March 2025, a major supplier of the Group whom the Group owed an amount of approximately HK$21,581,000 as at 31 March 2025, which was included in trade creditors under creditors and accruals as set out in note 22, has agreed not to demand for repayment of the amounts owed by the Group before 30 June 2026.
After taking into consideration of the above factors and funds expected to be generated internally based on the Directors' estimation on future cash flow of the Group, the Directors are satisfied that the Group will have sufficient financial resources to meet its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future and consider that it is appropriate for the unaudited condensed consolidated interim results to be prepared on a going concern basis since there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
REVENUE
Revenue represents invoiced value recognized in respect of provision of food and beverage services and others, net of discounts and value-added tax, during the period. An analysis of the revenue recorded for the period is set out below:

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands ("BVI"), the Group is not subject to any income tax in the Cayman Islands and BVI.
The Company's subsidiaries incorporated/established in Hong Kong and the People's Republic of China ("PRC") are subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax and PRC Enterprise Income Tax at the rates of 16.5% and 25% respectively (2024: Hong Kong - 16.5% and PRC - 25% respectively).
LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$10,345,000 (2024: approximately HK$11,352,000) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 555,057,588 (2024: ordinary shares of 520,771,875) in issue during all periods.
The computation of diluted loss per share does not assume the conversion of the Company's outstanding Convertible Bonds since these potential ordinary shares have anti-dilutive effects on loss per share for both the six months ended 30 September 2025 and 2024.

Aging analysis
The trading terms with the Group's customers for provision of food and beverage services are mainly on cash and non-cash basis settlements, except for well established corporate customers who are granted credit term of 30-60 days. For non-cash basis settlements, the counterparties normally settle the balances within 2-60 days. The following was an aging analysis of trade debtors (net of loss allowance), which included outstanding balances for non-cash basis settlements, based on the invoice date, at the end of the reporting period:-

Trade debtors that were neither past due nor impaired relate to customers for whom there was no recent history of default.
Trade debtors that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a good track record with the Group. Based on past experience, management believes that no loss allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.
The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for expected credit losses prescribed by HKFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for trade debtors. To measure the expected credit losses, these debtors have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the aging from billing.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISThe Group's unaudited revenue for the six months ended 30 September 2025 (the "Reporting Period") amounted to approximately HK$10.9 million (2024: approximately HK$22.4 million), representing a decrease of approximately 51.3% compared with the same period of the last financial year. Loss attributable to owners of the Company decreased to approximately HK$10.3 million for the six months ended 30 September 2025 from approximately HK$11.3 million recorded in the corresponding period last financial year.
Industry Overview
As at 30 September 2025, the global economy continued to experience moderate growth amid persistent high interest rates and ongoing geopolitical tensions. International inflation pressures have eased, while major economies have adopted a more prudent and supportive policy stance.
The Chinese economy maintained a stable recovery, achieving a year-on-year GDP growth of approximately 5% or above in the first half of 2025. The high-tech manufacturing and clean energy sectors delivered outstanding performance. Clean energy generation accounted for more than 30% of China's total power output and China continued to lead globally in the photovoltaic ("PV") sector. Although the growth rate of new PV installations in the first half of 2025 in China has slowed relative to the previous year, the total installed capacity and export volume of PV has continued to expand in light the ongoing policy support and strong domestic demand. This has in turn driven the continuous expansion of the PV-related industry chain and hence presented favourable opportunities for the Group's PV products business which is based in China.
Hong Kong's economy maintained a steady recovery trend in the first three quarters of 2025, with real gross domestic product (GDP) growing by approximately 3.0% to 3.8%. Despite the overall favorable economic performance, the local catering industry continued to face challenges arising from high rental costs, labor shortages, and shifts in consumption patterns from traditional dine-in to takeaway and outbound spending. As a result, the increase in total catering revenue was limited, and the overall number of restaurants continued to decline.
Business Review
During the Reporting Period, although Hong Kong's overall economy maintained growth, the catering industry was more significantly affected by changing consumer habits and fluctuations in resident consumption confidence. The economic environment remains uncertain in the short term, leading to intense competition and frequent price wars within the industry. The persistent shortage of labor and rising operating costs have increased business pressure across the sector, causing some restaurants to face operational difficulties, downsize, or even exit the market.
In response to subdued local consumption, the Group introduced timely promotional offers tied to various festive seasons and launched a series of bakery product gift boxes to attract both local customers and the growing number of visitors from Mainland China. The Group continued to enforce stringent cost control measures, including outsourcing certain production processes and human resources functions for offices and retail outlets, to maintain product and service quality while addressing customer needs efficiently.
During the Reporting Period, the Group also made solid progress in diversifying its business portfolio and officially commenced its photovoltaic operations. For the six months ended 30 September 2025, the Group began recording revenue from its PV products, marking a meaningful step forward into the renewable energy sector. The PV business is aligned with market demand and national policy trends in China, focusing on the value chain for solar cells and related materials. The Group has been optimizing its industrial deployment, integrating in-house R&D capabilities with external market resources, and continuously strengthening supply chain collaboration and production line efficiency to capture growth opportunities arising from the renewable energy transition.
Future Prospects
Looking ahead, the Group will continue to implement a strategy of "steady growth with focused breakthroughs." The downturn in Hong Kong's economy and the transformation of consumer behaviours have led to a wave of restaurant closures across the catering industry. Rising labour costs have further compressed operating margins. The Group will maintain its existing operation model, focusing on strict cost management to enhance operational efficiency and sustain business stability.
In terms of industrial development, the global transition toward clean energy continues to present substantial growth potential in PV installation capacity. The Group's PV business, which has started contributing revenue during the Reporting Period, will remain one of its key development priorities. The Group will continue to advance research and industrialization of high-precision PV screen printing technologies to strengthen its competitiveness.
The Group will remain focused on its energy business and will from time to time review its business portfolio to further consolidate and grow its operations. In the long term, the Group will actively seek suitable investment opportunities to diversify its revenue base and business structure, laying a solid foundation for sustainable growth and creating long-term value for shareholders.
FINANCIAL REVIEWFor the six months ended 30 September 2025, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$10.9 million (2024: approximately HK$22.4 million), which decreased by approximately 51.3% compared with the corresponding period last financial year. This decrease in revenue reflects the ongoing transformation in consumer behavior patterns, characterized by a measured shift towards value-oriented purchasing decisions amid evolving macroeconomic conditions. The emergence of cross-border consumption alternatives has further influenced this trend. The interplay of regional market dynamics and the growing presence of e-commerce platforms has presented new challenges for Hong Kong's food and beverage sector. While the Hong Kong government's initiatives to stimulate consumption have yielded modest improvements in consumer sentiment, the industry continues to navigate through a period of adjustment.
Loss attributable to owners of the Company was approximately HK$10.3 million (2024: approximately HK$11.3 million).
Gross profit
The gross profit margin from the operations of the Group was approximately 40.9% (2024: approximately 43.4%), it remains stable. In response to evolving market dynamics, the Group has proactively diversified its product portfolio by introducing an expanded range of peripheral and seasonal offerings, including mooncakes, egg rolls, and French palmier products. While these new product categories currently operate at different margin profiles compared to our traditional cake offerings, they represent an important strategic initiative to broaden our market reach and create additional revenue streams. The Group remains focused on optimizing its product mix and implementing operational enhancements to gradually strengthen overall profitability while maintaining market competitiveness.
Other income
Other income of the Group for the Reporting Period decreased by 68.4% to approximately HK$0.1 million (2024: approximately HK$0.3 million). The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in interest income and miscellaneous income compared with the corresponding period last financial year.
Finance costs
Finance cost of the Group for the Reporting Period increased by 136.1% to approximately HK$3.5 million (2024: approximately HK$1.5 million). This increase was primarily attributable to higher interest expenses on convertible bonds, resulting from the reassessment of their fair value following an extension.
Operating expenses
The Group strived to exercise stringent cost control and further enhanced operational efficiency during the Reporting Period. As a result, total operating expenses for the operations decreased by approximately 42.8% to approximately HK$11.2 million (2024: approximately HK$19.7 million). The decrease in operating expenses as compared to last financial year was in line with the decrease in revenue and also reflects the Group's strategic refinement of its retail portfolio, specifically the calibrated optimization of our outlet network. This measured action aligns with its strategic imperative to enhance resource allocation and strengthen operations around high-potential locations. As a result of these strategic initiatives, the Group achieved an improvement in operational efficiency, with total operating expenses moderated to HK$11.2 million during the Reporting Period.
Financial Resources and Liquidity
As at 30 September 2025, the Group's current assets amounted to approximately HK$27.5 million (31 March 2025: approximately HK$35.9 million) of which approximately HK$13.7 million (31 March 2025: approximately HK$24.4 million) was cash and cash equivalents, and approximately HK$13.7 million (31 March 2025: approximately HK$11.5 million) was debtors, deposits and prepayments.

During the Reporting Period, the Group pursued a prudent yet efficient network expansion strategy and up to 30 September 2025, Net Proceeds from the Rights Issue amounting to approximately HK$22.5 million had been utilized for the Company's corporate expenses as approximately HK$2.5 million was reallocated for this purpose during the six months ended 30 September 2025.
As at 30 September 2025, approximately HK$37.5 million has been used for operating and expanding existing food and beverage business.
As disclosed in the Company's announcement dated 6 November 2018, the Company has changed the original allocation of the Net Proceeds from the Rights Issue by reallocating HK$15.0 million of the Net Proceeds from the Rights Issue originally planned to be applied for the repayment of bank loans to the intended investment in research and development, sales and marketing of e-cigarette in the PRC and overseas countries. In this connection, the Company planned to conduct research on the use of new ingredients for producing e-cigarette liquid and e-cigarette cartridge, purchase production lines for manufacturing e-cigarette, and market and sell such products through exploring and developing a sales network, building a new e-cigarette brand, participating into trade fairs and seeking cooperation with external parties. Up to 30 September 2025, the Group utilized approximately HK$2.9 million of the Net Proceeds from the Rights Issue to invest in the e-cigarette business in the PRC, including setting up office and purchasing new equipment. And, approximately HK$6.5 million, HK$2.6 million and HK$3.0 million, was reallocated on or before 31 March 2023 and during the years ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, respectively, to investment in the medical and healthcare business, operation and expansion of the existing food and beverage business and for potential investment opportunities, as set out below.
In recognition of the growing importance of medical and healthcare services and products, the Group strives to grasp the prosperous opportunities in the domestic market, thereby strengthening its core competence through broadening its revenue base. After thorough study and consideration, up to 30 September 2025, approximately HK$18.5 million in total, which represented by HK$6.5 million and HK$12.0 million of the Net Proceeds from the Rights Issue which were originally reserved for the e-cigarette business and potential investment opportunities respectively, was reallocated and utilized to invest in the medical and healthcare business in the domestic market, including brand building, office set-up, expert recruitment and product development.
The Group has been aiming to expand its existing food and beverage business and continued to identify suitable acquisition targets during the Reporting Period. However, taking into account sluggish economic recovery, weak private consumption, poor consumer sentiment and intense competition, the food and beverage industry continued to experience a tough period of time, which was further exacerbated by the increasing number of Hong Kong residents choosing to travel north for dining experiences. As a result, the Group adopted a relatively prudent approach in such business expansion. In order to weather the headwinds, the Group endeavored to explore potential acquisition opportunities in different markets. In view of the increasing significance of renewable energy, the Group allocated approximately HK$13.0 million from the Net Proceeds from the Rights Issue which were originally reserved for the potential investment opportunities towards its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries for the advancement of research and development in renewable energy and new material products and businesses. This included a strategic investment of RMB7.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$7.7 million) in Weihai Qingying Precision Technology Company Limited, acquiring a 20% equity stake in the company and obtaining an exclusive sales right in order to develop the sales business in this arena, and the Group has also initiated a technology collaboration partnership with the Harbin Institute of Technology, Weihai, involving a one-off payment of RMB2.8 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3.1 million) for research and development operation, to enhance its renewable energy business through a comprehensive approach. As for the remaining amount of RMB2.0 million (equivalent to HK$2.2 million), it will be used for general operating capital.
The Net Proceeds from the Rights Issue for potential investment opportunities purpose were still reserved and the unutilized balance of approximately HK$4.6 million allocated for this purpose is expected to be fully utilized by 31 December 2026. The actual timeline will be subject to the availability of appropriate acquisition targets, market condition and time required for performing due diligence work. As at the date of this interim report, the Board has not identified any suitable acquisition target.
The Directors will constantly evaluate the Group's business objectives and may change or modify the plans against the changing market condition to suit the business growth of the Group. Further announcement(s), in respect of redeploying the allocation and use of Net Proceeds from the Rights Issue, if necessary, will be made in accordance with the requirements of the GEM Listing Rules as and when appropriate to update its shareholders and potential investors.
