Segment performance • Online-game revenue edged up 1.7% to HK$15.34 million; segment loss reduced to HK$7.07 million after lower R&D spending on the “Holosens” project. • Cloud computing & data-storage revenue dropped 43.1% to HK$1.61 million; segment loss widened to HK$10.17 million due to weaker cryptocurrency prices and the cessation of Bitcoin operations. • Esports revenue fell to HK$25.09 million; segment profit declined to HK$1.51 million. • Property investment contributed HK$1.42 million revenue and HK$2.30 million profit, reflecting a fair-value gain on Malaysian investment properties. • Household products and money-lending generated HK$0.40 million revenue and HK$0.37 million profit.
