Challenges include global economic volatility, trade tensions, inflation, and geopolitical situations, casting a shadow over the economic outlook and weakening real estate performance33 - The Hong Kong office and retail leasing sectors face weak demand and oversupply, while local shopping patterns are shifting due to residents traveling north, leading to decreased rents and property values33 - The Group adopts a cautious approach, prioritizing cost control and sustainable development, and remains cautiously optimistic about the long-term Hong Kong market due to ample cash and low gearing34 Financial Review Revenue decreased due to lower renewal rents and increased vacancy rates, with loss attributable to owners expanding to HKD 54.5 million primarily due to increased fair value loss on investment properties and impairment loss on debt instruments -

The primary reasons for the expanded loss attributable to owners include: increased fair value loss on investment properties from HKD 54.4 million to HKD 91.1 million; decreased rental income; and a shift in debt instrument impairment from a net reversal of HKD 15.5 million last year to a loss of HKD 1 million this year42 Liquidity and Capital Management The Group held HKD 277 million in cash, with total bank borrowings reduced to HKD 41.7 million, leading to an 11.6% decrease in finance costs, while shareholders' funds decreased to HKD 2.523 billion -
