Alpha as investing holding company conducts its primary operations through its two wholly owned subsidiaries after the acquisition. Alpha and its subsidiaries, NSL and TSL, are collectively referred to as the “Predecessor and Successor” and “Operating Subsidiaries”. Although, after the acquisition, NSL and TSL became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Alpha.
The subsidiaries of Alpha were under the control of different ultimate owners immediately following their acquisition by Alpha. Although, after the acquisition, NSL and TSL became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Alpha, the two acquired companies did not operate under common control as their ultimate owners had been different. As these transactions between entities are not under common control as it is different ultimate owner of the Company after acquisition, the Company has reported the results of combined operations for the period in a manner similar to the acquisition method and has consolidated financial results from the date of the initial acquisition of the aforementioned companies. Assets and liabilities were consolidated at their carrying values, and goodwill arising from this acquisition was attributable to the expected synergies from the operation of NSL and TSL.

We generated HK$6,023,005 (approximately US$769,625) in revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of HK$480,399 (approximately US$61,386) or 8.67%, as compared with HK$5,542,606 for the six months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to (i) increase in revenue generated from system development resulting from the engagement of system development projects from the new customers; and (ii) the increase in revenue generated from web and mobile application development for completion of an application for a customer, which were partially offset by the decrease in revenue for the provision of NFT-related services during the six months ended March 31, 2024.

Such decrease was mainly driven by (i) the decrease in management fee for procuring the ad-hoc technical support services and human resources from two related companies to execute the system development projects, thereby decreasing the costs; and (ii) the decrease in consultancy fee mainly due to the decrease in procurement of cloud architecture services from suppliers since certain programme, procedures and steps established in previous similar projects had been used in the projects for current period. Such decrease was partially offset by the increase in staff costs due to the increase in involvement of our staff for our projects.
Gross profit margin was 45.98% and 35.91% for the six months ended 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The gross profit margin was improved mainly due to (i) the decrease in management fee as discussed in above; (ii) the decrease in consultancy fee as discussed in above; and (iii) the increase in provision for application projects which entailed high gross profit margin.

The increase in staff costs was mainly due to the increase in number of staff to support the operation and business growth.
The increase in the director’s remuneration of our Operating Subsidiaries and our Company was mainly attributable to the increase in the remuneration of independent non-executive directors of our Company after the listing on Nasdaq.
5
The increase in the entertainment expenses was mainly due to the increase in activities for maintaining good relationship with the existing client and exploring new potential customers.
The increase in the advertisement fees was primarily due to carrying out more advertising activities to attract new potential customers.
Listing expenses
The listing expenses decreased from HK$2,373,596 for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to HK$1,051,816 (approximately US$134,401) for the six months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of HK$1,321,780 (approximately US$168,898) or 55.69%. The decrease was primarily attributable to the completion of the Listing in November 2023.
Other income
The other income increased from HK$85,006 for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to HK$265,504 (approximately US$33,926) for the six months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of HK$180,498 (approximately US$23,064) or 212.34%.

Income Tax
We incurred no income tax expense for the six months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of HK$75,800 or 100.0%, as compared to $75,800 for the six months ended March 31, 2023.
