APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”) (a) New and amendments to HKFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current year In the current year the Group has applied the following new and amendments to HKFRSs issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) for the first time which are mandatorily effective for the Group’s annual period beginning on 1 April 2023 for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements: HKFRS 17 (including the October 2020 Insurance Contracts and February 2022 Amendments to HKFRS 17) Amendments to HKAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates Amendments to HKAS 12 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction Amendments to HKAS 12 International Tax Reform-Pillar Two model Rules Amendments to HKAS 1 and Disclosure of Accounting Policies HKFRS Practice Statement 2 Except as described below the application of the new and amendments to HKFRSs in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial positions and performance for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.– 4 –Impacts on application of Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKFRS Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of Accounting Policies 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.The 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 is 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 also added. The application of the amendments had no material impact on the Group’s financial positions and performance but has affected the disclosure of the Group’s accounting policies set out in notes 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 required to be 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.(b) New and amendments to HKFRSs in issue but not yet effective The Group has not early applied the following new and 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 HKFRS 7 Supplier Finance Arrangements2 Amendments to HKAS 21 Lack of Exchangeability3 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined. 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of all the above amendments to HKFRSs will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the foreseeable future.– 5 –3.

INCOME TAX CREDIT 20242023 HK$’000 HK$’000 Hong Kong Profits Tax – Current year – – – Over-provision in prior years – (149 0) –(1490) Deferred tax – Current year (3 0) – Income tax credit (3 0) (149 0) According to the Inland Revenue (Amendment) Bill 2017 which was substantively enacted after passing its Third Reading in the Legislative Council on 28 March 2018 the two-tiered profits tax regime (the “Regime”) is first effective for the year of assessment 2018/19. Profits tax rate for the first HK$2 million of assessable profits of corporations is lowered to 8.25% with the excess assessable profits continue to be taxed at 16.5%. The Hong Kong profits tax for the years ended 31 March 2024 and 2023 is provided based on the Regime.No provision for Hong Kong profits tax has been made as the Group did not generate any assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the years ended 31 March 2024 and 2023.Under the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax (the “EIT Law”) and Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law the tax rate of the PRC subsidiary is 25% (2023: 25%) for the Year.As at 31 March 2024 and 2023 the Group did not have deductible temporary difference in respect of impairment of trade and other receivables. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in relation to such deductible temporary differences as it is not certain that taxable profit will be available which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.– 12 –As at 31 March 2024 the Group had unused tax losses of approximately HK$38729000 (2023: HK$35128000) available for offsetting against future profits. No deferred tax assets have been recognised as certain entities of the Group have been loss making for several years and it is not considered probable that taxable profits will be available against which the tax losses can be utilised. Tax losses may be carried forwards indefinitely except for those tax losses amounting to HK$18083000 (2023: HK$20817000) will expire in the coming few years. 11. PROFIT/(LOSS) PER SHARE The calculation of basic profit/(loss) per share is based on the profit for the year of approximately HK$6825000 (2023: a loss of HK$1435000) and the weighted average of approximately 1103968000 (2023: 1103968000) ordinary shares of the Company in issue during the year. Diluted profit/(loss) per share equals to basic profit/(loss) per share as there were no potential dilutive ordinary shares in issue for the years ended 31 March 2024 and 2023. 12.

The Group has not been immune to global turbulence due to various downside risks such as the continuing high interest rate environment and geopolitical tensions. In addition the rise in inflation rate had a strong impact on consumer spending particularly in the luxury goods sector. The Group has always been committed to ensuring stable operation and has consistently taken steps to sustain progress. In the face of many challenges and intensified competition in the industry the Group has been making headway and actively exploring opportunities to join the new development landscape. During the Year the Group recorded a total revenue of approximately HK$71180000 (2023: approximately HK$63692000). Gross profit for the Year amounted to approximately HK$15860000 (2023: approximately HK$16179000) and profit for the Year amounted to approximately HK$6825000 (2023: a loss of approximately HK$1435000).Strengthening the Layout of Fashion Accessories Business During the Year the Group has been actively expanding its business bases by setting up new operation centres in Hong Kong Shenzhen and Guangzhou respectively and selectively recruiting new staff to strengthen the market position and competitiveness of its brands in the fashion accessories sector.While there was no significant improvement in the overall luxury goods sector during the Year the Group's fashion accessories business recorded a modest growth in sales performance.The Group continued to optimise the positioning of the Group's brands including ‘Artini’ and ‘Asbeny’ to make them more diversified living and fashionable and at the same time increased its investment in digitalisation platformisation and social media marketing and online platforms to strengthen the Group's competitiveness in the lifestyle industry.To expand new customer sources and new markets and thereby increase market share the Group's selling and distribution expenses increased by approximately 59.9% from approximately HK$10253000 for the year ended 31 March 2023 to approximately HK$16391000 for the Year.– 17 –Developing Diversity Planning for the Future During the Year the Group actively explored new development opportunities. In the past the Group has successfully built up its popularity and solid online sales performance of fashion accessories products through its internal online platform and third-party retail network. With the huge potential of the general health and wellness business in the post epidemic era the Group has expanded its skincare and health product sales platform business during the Year. In order to capitalise on the Group's existing brand strengths and to meet the market demand the Group has positioned its health products as ‘life fashion’ and ‘lifestyle’. We actively promote product diversification optimise industrial layout and further enrich product portfolio on the basis of giving full play to our own advantages in order to realise the long-term stability and sustainable development of the Group's profitability. At the same time during the Year the Group zeroed in on adjusting its marketing direction and strengthen the development of sales share in the PRC market to further avoid the risk of relying on bilateral trade in a single region.PROSPECT Looking ahead to 2025 the Group expects that the prolonged high-interest rate and high inflation environment will continue to pose challenges to the consumer goods industry.
