HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements is amended to replace all instances of the term “significant accounting policies” with “material accounting policy information”. Accounting policy information is material if when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. 5The amendments also clarify that accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions other events or conditions even if the amounts are immaterial. However not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions other events or conditions is itself material. If an entity chooses to disclose immaterial accounting policy information such information must not obscure material accounting policy information.HKFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements (the “Practice Statement”) is also amended to illustrate how an entity applies the “four-step materiality process” to accounting policy disclosures and to judge whether information about an accounting policy is material to its financial statements. Guidance and examples are added to the Practice Statement.The application of the amendments has had no material impact on the Group’s financial position and performance but has affected the disclosure of the Group’s accounting policies set out to the consolidated financial statements.In accordance with the guidance set out in the amendments accounting policy information that is standardised information or information that only duplicates or summarises the requirements of the HKFRSs is considered immaterial accounting policy information and is no longer disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements so as not to obscure the material accounting policy information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. 2.2 Amendments to HKFRSs in issue but not yet effective The Group has not early applied the following amendments to HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective: Amendments to HKFRS 10 and Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and HKAS 28 its Associate or Joint Venture1 Amendments to HKFRS 16 Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback2 Amendments to HKAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and related amendments to Hong Kong Interpretation 5 (2020)2 Amendments to HKAS 1 Non-current Liabilities with Covenants2 Amendments to HKAS 7 and Supplier Finance Arrangements2 HKFRS 7 Amendments to HKAS 21 Lack of Exchangeability3 Hong Kong Interpretation 5 (2020) Presentation of Financial Statements – Classification by the Borrower of a Term Loan that contains a Repayment on Demand Clause2 Notes: 1 No mandatory effective date yet determined but available for adoption 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 earlier application is permitted 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025 earlier application is permitted The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of all the amendments to HKFRSs is unlikely to have a material impact on the Group’s financial position and performance as well as disclosure in foreseeable future. 63.

The gross profit margin decreased to 19.5% for the year ended 31 March 2024 from 43.1% for the year ended 31 March 2023. The decrease was mainly because the portion of revenue generated from advertising business segment which has a higher profit margin decreased.Loss attributable to the owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$43668000 for the year ended 31 March 2024 as compared with a loss attributable to the owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$1498000 for the year ended 31 March 2023. The net loss reported by the Group increased mainly due to the net effect of decrease in gross profit and administrative expenses and the increase in other gains or losses and provision of impairment losses on accounts receivable. Without considering the extraordinary items (other gains or losses and provision of impairment losses recognised) the result of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2024 is profit of approximately HK$1184000 as comparing with profit of approximately HK$4274000 for the year ended 31 March 2023.Financial Review As at the end of the year non-current assets decreased to approximately HK$2267000 (2023: HK$6000000) due to impairment loss recognised on intangible assets during the year.
