Gross profit was HK$3.69 million with a margin of about 41.3%. Administrative expenses remained broadly stable at around HK$11.87 million. The company recognized other impairment losses totaling HK$21.17 million, mainly concerning intangible assets and deposits paid for intangible assets linked to AI proprietary technology.
