The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of financial printing services of US$578,520 and the decrease of advisory services of US$44,903, which was partially offset by the increase of other services of US$571,706.
For the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, all of the revenue was from clients in Hong Kong.

The decrease in current expected credit losses by US$30,633 or 100%, for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the six months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to the decrease of long outstanding accounts receivable as at March 31, 2025.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures aboutMarket Risk
Credit Risk
For the credit risk related to accounts receivable and contract assets, we perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. We establish an allowance for credit losses based upon estimates, factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and other information. Allowance for credit losses was US$1,069,620 and US$984,429 as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. Our management believes its contract acceptance, billing, and collection policies are adequate to minimize credit risk. Application for progress payment of contract works is made on a regular basis. We seek to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by the management.
Liquidity Risk
We are also exposed to liquidity risk, which is risk we will be unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, we will turn to financial institutions and related parties to obtain short-term funding to cover any liquidity shortage.
Based on the above considerations, management is of the opinion we have sufficient funds to meet our working capital requirements and debt obligations, for at least the next 12 months. There are several factors that could potentially arise that could undermine our plans, such as changes in the demand for its services, economic conditions, its operating results continuing to deteriorate and its shareholders unable to provide continued financial support.
We maintain sufficient cash and bank balances, and internally generated cash flows to finance the activities and management is satisfied that funds are available to finance the operations.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, and all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”). Our assets are denominated primarily in HKD. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the US$ and HKD. If the HKD depreciates against the US$, the value of our HKD revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our US$ financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.
