RC365 HOLDING PLC
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
I have great pleasure in presenting our audited financial statements to the shareholders of RC365 Holding
Plc (“RC365”, the “Company” or the “Group”) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The Group delivered growth of revenue of about 17% to HK$14.1 million (2024: HK$12.2 million (after
restatement)). The vast majority of Group revenue continued to be generated by our wholly-owned Regal
Crown Technology Limited (“RCTech”) subsidiary, where we provide cutting-edge IT support and
development for payment and financial systems, including Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) solutions,
issuance of asset linked credit card and card top up services to SME clients in Hong Kong and the ASEAN
region.
However, a growing proportion of revenue is being accounted for by our newer activities, in line with our
stated strategy, namely the provision of issuance and top up of assets linked credit card services, by RCPAY
Limited (UK) (“RCPAY UK”), small payment institution service providers in the United Kingdom (“UK”).
During the year, RCPAY (UK and Hong Kong collectively) handled approximately HK$41.0million (2024:
HK$47.0 million) in providing payment and remittance services to clients (both individual and corporate)
based in the UK and Asia.
The development of innovative products and services, as well as geographical expansion, to attract new
customers remained a key focus for the Group. A number of new partnerships were established during the
year to advance this goal.
Now, let’s look at some of the major activities undertaken during the year in more detail.
1
Acquisition of a Money Lender License in Hong Kong
The Group acquired 100% of the issued share capital in HC Capital Group Limited, a Company holding a
Money Lender License in Hong Kong. The Group aim to provide all round financial services including
money lending to the existing and potential corporate and individual clients in Hong Kong. The Group
target to provide service initially in Hong Kong and further expanded to ASEAN and other European
countries.
2
Funding Support for the Malaysian subsidiary
Regal Crown Technology Limited received funding support from the Hong Kong Productivity Council
under the BUD scheme in developing a fully owned subsidiary for the development of the R&D centre
and the operation support hub for the Group. The funding provided by the Government was HKD685,000
for the year. Malaysian subsidiary has about 10 full time staffs working in providing full support for the
Company’s operation, finance and administrative work of the Group.
3
The number of card subscribers
RCPAY Limited (HK) (transferred to HC Capital Group Limited) has a dramatic increase for the number
of issued cards to 1,910 (2024: 1,100 cards) with about 80% increment for the number of cards. Most of
the cards are issued to our customers located in Japan.

4
Divestiture of RCPAY HK
The Group divested RCPAY HK in Nov 2024 for the amount of HK$400,000 to an unrelated
third party. There is no effect towards the exchange, remittance and payment services offered by
the group since all the activities of RCPAY HK was transferred to another wholly owned subsidiary,
RCPAY UK and there is no effect towards the services provided to existing and potential
customers.
5
Repayment of Convertible Loan Note
The Group settled outstanding Convertible Note of £1m under an arrangement during the year
through payment of £150,000 in cash, £250,000 provided by L Y S Limited under a top up
subscription agreement and the balance £600,000 was settled through several allotments during
April to August 2024 with a total number of 21,875,830 shares allotted to the Convertible Note
holder.
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
As the Company has not consumed more than 40,000 kWh of energy in the year period, it qualifies as a
low energy user under SI 2018/1155 and is not required to report on its emissions, energy consumption or
energy efficiency activities. The Company’s energy consumption in the year is 15,412 kwh (2024: 17,731
kwh).
Strategy
Our vision remains unchanged, which is to grow our share of our existing markets, develop new capabilities
and enter new geographies within the fast growing and attractive industries in which we operate.
In particular, we intend to focus on growing our presence in Japan, the ASEAN region and the UK; broaden
our offering to include virtual banking and expand our card solutions; and explore new product innovations
that leverage Web 3.0 and artificial intelligence. A key element in achieving this will be establishing strategic
partnerships with global companies in the fintech ecosystem, which we significantly progressed during the
year.
Outlook
The Board continues to be optimistic about the outlook for FY 2026 given the advances made during FY
2025 and our growing pipeline of potential opportunities for further growth.
Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their continued support and
we look forward to reporting on our progress as we deliver on our growth strategy.

statements, the directors are required to:
Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
Select suitable accounting policies in accordance with IAS 8: Accounting Policies, Changes in
Accounting Estimates and Errors and then apply them consistently;
Present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides relevant, reliable,
comparable and understandable information;
Provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements of UK adopted
IAS is insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events
and conditions on the Group and Parent Company’s financial position and financial performance
and
Comply with relevant UK adopted IASs, subject to any material departures being disclosed and
explained in the financial statements.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and
explain the Group and Parent Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time
the financial position of the Group and Parent Company and enable them to ensure that the financial
statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of
the Group and Parent Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of
fraud and other irregularities.

Environmental
The Group’s operations are conducted in such a manner that compliance is maintained with legal
requirements relating to the environment in areas where the Group conducts its business. During the period
covered by this report, the Group has not incurred any fines or penalties or been investigated for any breach
of environmental regulations.
The Directors consider that due to the nature of the Group’s operations, it does not have a significant
impact on the environment. However, the Group seeks to minimize its carbon impact and recognizes that
its activities should be carried out in an environmentally friendly manner where practicable.
The Group’s environment impact is under continual review and the Group considers related initiatives on
an ongoing basis. In 2025, these included: continued reduction of waste and, where practicable, re-use and
recycling of consumables; conducted reduction of energy, water and other resources.
Office Environments
Management engages with its office provider and its facilities management provider to ensure a safe
environment for our employees.
Environmental management is overseen by the Chief Executive Officer. The Group complies with the
Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors Report) Regulation 2013 and Companies (Directors’
Report) and Limited Liability Partnership (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018 known as SECR
(Streamlined Energy Carbon Reporting). Energy consumption and GHG emissions have been calculated
in line with the UK Government’s Environmental Reporting Guidelines; including streamlined energy and
carbon reporting guidance (March 2019). There were no prosecutions or compliance notices for breaches
of environmental legislation during the financial year.
Supply Chain
We are committed to ensuring that there is no slavery or human trafficking in our supply chain or in any
part of our business. We maintain strong working relationship with our suppliers and partners, in order to
enhance the efficiency of our business and create value, and make sure we treat suppliers in line with our
values and ethical standards. We continually assess our supplier and partner network, and leverage both
internal and external expertise to ensure appropriate relationship and fair economics.
Governance
The Board takes issues of governance seriously and seeks to ensure transparency and streamlined
administration. The Directors bring a broad range of technical, commercial, business, accounting, auditor

Governance
a) Describe the Board’s
oversight of climate-
related risks and
opportunities.
The Board acknowledges the financial implications
of climate change and considers the related risks
and opportunities through regular communication
between the two Executive Directors and the two
Non-Executive Directors. This communication is
focused on risks and opportunities that arise on an
ongoing informal basis.
Through those discussions the Board has assessed
that at the current time there are no climate-related
risks or opportunities that would have a material
impact on the Group or the wider community. This
is in the context of the Group currently having 25
employees and substantially all of the climate
impact of the Group being driven by regulatory
imperatives. The Board will keep this assessment
under regular review.
b) Describe management’s
role in assessing
and managing
climate-related risks and opportunities.
The Board oversees the long-term impact of
climate-related risks and opportunities on the
organisation’s strategy and risk appetite. Senior
management regularly attend ESG seminars and
relevant updates are provided to the Board. Each
staff individually will seek to make personal
decisions so as to minimise climate-related risks.
This manifests itself in seeking to minimise travel
by, for example, working from home and/or use
the Zoom/Team portal meeting with business
travellers instead of travelling.

Strategy
c) Describe the climate-
related risks and
opportunities the
organisation has
identified over the
short, medium and long
term.
The Group has not identified any material climate-
related risks and opportunities in the short-term.
Medium and longer-term assessments will depend
on what acquisitions are made by the Group and
accordingly the Board will reassess those climate-
related risks and opportunities as soon as
practically possible following an acquisition.
d) Describe the impact
of climate-related risks
and opportunities on
the organisation’s
businesses, strategy
and financial planning.
The Group has assessed the impact of climate
change risks to ensure financial resilience and
operational continuity. The conclusion is that
climate change represents a negligible impact and
that these risks are not material. Individual
employees are encouraged to take climate matters
into account when planning how they wish to work
and management offer maximum flexibility to
facilitate this.
e) Describe the resilience of the organisation’s
strategy, taking into
consideration different climate-related scenarios,
including a
2°C or lower scenario.
The Group does not foresee any impact on its
resilience arising from all foreseeable climate-
related scenarios, including a full two degrees of
warming. All climate change risks will continue to
be monitored.

all 25 employees with the flexibility to manage
those limited risks that are under their control.
h) Describe how processes
for identifying, assessing and
managing climate-related risks are
integrated into the organisation’s overall risk
management.

and long-term timeframes, ultimately determining
that these were immaterial to the balance sheet.
Metrics and Targets
(i) Disclose the metrics
used by the organisation to assess
climate-related risks and
opportunities in line with its strategy and risk
management process.
The Group does not seek to measure climate-
related risks as they are not considered material.
The Board will reconsider this position on any
material change to the Group or its activities.
(j) Disclose Scope 1, 2, and, if appropriate, Scope 3
greenhouse gas emissions, and the related risks.
The Group’s activities are outside the scope of the
Global

Standards.
(k) Describe the targets
used by the organisation to manage climate-related
risks and
opportunities and performance against target.
The Group currently has not set specific targets or
commitments.
Notwithstanding, the Board is
pleased to note that employees continue to do what
they can to reduce climate risk by working from
home and minimise the business travel by each
employee. The Board will reconsider this position
on any material change to the Group or its
activities.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
RISK MANAGEMENT REPORT
To mitigate the risks outlined below, the Group will focus on accelerating product innovation and
expanding geographically into key regions such as ASEAN, Europe, and the UK, while tailoring offerings
to local needs. We will enhance competitiveness by implementing dynamic pricing and cost optimization,
invest in scalable infrastructure and cybersecurity to safeguard reputation and operational resilience, and
strengthen succession planning to reduce dependency on key personnel. Further, we will monitor market
trends and regulations closely, diversify payment channels to adapt to shifting consumer behaviour, and
maintain strategic agility to respond to economic, political, and social changes, ensuring sustainable growth
and profitability.
The Group has undertaken an evaluation of the risks it is exposed to which are summarised as follows:
If the Group cannot keep pace with rapid developments and change in its industry and provide
new services to its clients, the use of its services could decline, reducing its revenue and
profitability
The Group faces competitive pressure from new or existing competitors which may have more significant
financial resources, consumer awareness and scale and may introduce new products and services.
The Group’s ability to remain competitive depends in part on its ability to offer competitive pricing
Certain of the Group’s competitors may have greater financial, technological and marketing resources than
it does or, in the case of certain markets (in particular any potential new markets), greater local knowledge
and presence, greater customer bases, volume, scale and market share.
Negative publicity could impact negatively on the Group’s business and reputation
The diminution in the perceived quality associated with the Group’s products or services as a result of
reputational damage or otherwise could harm the Group’s business, which can adversely affect its ability to
attract and retain customers. The Group’s reputation could be damaged by any number of issues, including
operational or user experience failures, data breaches, or negative press or social media reports.
The Group may fail to successfully execute its strategy, including expanding its share of its
existing markets, developing new capabilities and expanding into new geographies
The Group’s future growth and profitability depend upon the growth of the markets in which it currently
operates, the future expansion of those markets, its ability to develop new products and services (such as
RC3.0, RC ERP, Prepaid Card Issuance in ASEAN, Europe and UK region) that are commercially
successful and its ability to increase its penetration and service offerings within these markets, as well as its
ability to penetrate new markets, particularly in Europe.
Dependence on key personnel
The Group is managed by a number of key personnel, including the Key Executive Directors, some of
whom have significant experience within the payments sector and who may be difficult to replace. The loss
of the Key Executive Directors and/or key senior personnel could have a material adverse effect on the
Group.

RC365 HOLDING PLC
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Demand for the Group’s products and services may be affected by global and regional changes,
including economic, social and political changes
The Group may be affected by a number of macroeconomic factors, events and conditions, including
political and social conditions (such as any policy which might affect the ability of Regal Crown HK to do
business with Chinese customers), payment habits and trends including the number of transactions
involving the Hong Kong dollar, economic growth rates, and government outlook, spending and regulation,
such as protectionist policies and legislation.
Inability to manage growth
The Group intends to grow the business. The Group’s future growth may place increasing and significant
demands on its management, operational and financial systems, infrastructure and other resources and will
therefore depend on its ability to expand and improve operational, financial and management information
and control systems in line with its growth. Failure to do so could have an adverse effect on the Group’s
business and its operating results. Further, any acquisitions will carry an element of risk, including the
difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired business and the inability to obtain
the anticipated return from such investment.
A decline in the use of debit cards as a payments mechanism or adverse developments with respect
to the digital payments industry in general could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s
business, financial condition and results of operations
If customers do not continue to use credit or debit cards as a payments mechanism for their transactions
or if there is a change in the mix of payments between cash, alternative currencies, credit and debit cards
or new payments systems which is adverse to the Group, it could have a materially adverse effect on it
business, financial condition and results of operations. A potential tightening of credit underwriting criteria
by financial institutions may make it more difficult or expensive for customers to gain access to credit
facilities such as credit cards. Moreover, if there is an adverse development in the digital payments industry
in general, such as new legislation or regulation that makes it more difficult for the Group’s clients to do
business or which results in financial institutions seeking to charge their customers additional fees for card
usage, cardholders may reduce their reliance on cards, which could have a material adverse effect on the
Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Compliance with Licensing Terms (HK & UK):
The Group must comply with all conditions under the Hong Kong Money Lender License and UK Money
Transfer License, including reporting, operational standards, and regulatory disclosures. Failure to comply
may result in suspension, penalties, or reputational damage. Regular audits, staff training, and legal reviews
are essential to maintain licensing integrity and ensure continued business operations.
Compliance with Money Laundering Regulations:
Strict adherence to AML and CTF laws is vital. The Group must implement KYC procedures, monitor
transactions, report suspicious activity, and maintain records. Staff must be trained regularly, and systems
reviewed to meet Hong Kong’s AMLO and UK’s FCA standards. Non-compliance may lead to fines, legal
action, and reputational harm.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
IT Systems: Data Security Risks:
The Group must protect customer and operational data from breaches and cyber threats. This includes
encryption, access controls, regular audits, and incident response plans. Compliance with Hong Kong’s
Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and international standards like ISO 27001 is essential to maintain trust
and operational resilience.
Funding Risks:
The Group’s growth depends on stable funding. Risks include reliance on limited financiers, credit
tightening, and market volatility. Mitigation includes diversifying funding sources, maintaining liquidity
buffers, and optimizing cash flow. Transparent financial reporting and proactive investor engagement are
key to sustaining capital access and business continuity.
The Group is at risk of fraud
Combating fraud is a challenge because transactions are conducted between parties who are not physically
present, which in turn creates opportunities for misrepresentation and abuse. Online businesses are
especially vulnerable because of the convenience, immediacy and anonymity of transferring funds from one
account to another and subsequently withdrawing them.
The Group is not currently involved in the supply of any regulated services which would require a licence
or authorisation (such as the processing of transactions) I or the direct handling of client money and as
such it would not normally expect to be primarily responsible should any fraudulent activity impact a
particular transaction. However, it cannot however be excluded that the Group could be party in any
litigation or investigation in the future in relation to fraudulent transactions, even where the Group is not
directly involved. Examples of fraud could include organised criminal activity or when a person knowingly
uses a stolen or counterfeit credit or debit card, card number, or other credentials to record a false sale or
credit transaction or intentionally fails to deliver the merchandise or services sold in an otherwise valid
transaction. Criminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to engage in illegal activities such as
counterfeiting credit and debit cards and fraud. There is also a risk the Group’s employees could engage in
or facilitate fraudulent activity on their own behalf or on behalf of others. Moreover, is possible that
incidents of fraud could increase in the future.
The Group nonetheless takes measures to detect and reduce the risk of fraud, by carrying out checks on
the Dow Jones database before the transaction can proceed. Separate checks are also carried out by other
parties involved in the value chain. These measures may however not be effective against new and
continually evolving forms of fraud or in connection with new product offerings. If these measures do not
succeed, the Group’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially
and adversely affected.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
As Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee (“the Committee”), I am pleased to present our Audit
Committee Report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The Board has established an audit committee and a remuneration committee and delegated various
responsibilities to these committees, to assist the Board in discharging its duties and overseeing its duties
and aspects of the Company and its subsidiaries’ activities.
The Audit Committee comprises two Non-Executive Directors: Iain Muir (Chair) and Ajay Rajpal. The
Audit Committee receives, and reviews reports from the Group’s management and external auditors
relating to the interim and annual accounts and the accounting and internal control systems in use
throughout the Group.
The key responsibilities of the Committee are to:
• Review the significant issues and judgments of management, and the methodology and assumptions used
in relation to the Group’s financial statements and formal announcements on the Group’s financial
performance;
• Review the Group’s going concern assumptions;
• Assess the effectiveness of the Group’s system of internal controls, including financial reporting and
financial controls;
• Consider and make recommendations to the Board on the appointment, reappointment, dismissal or
resignation and remuneration of the external auditor; and
• Assess the independence and objectivity of the external auditor and approve and monitor the application
of the external auditor business standard.
External auditor
The Company’s external auditor is Johnsons Financial Management Limited, who were appointed with
effect from the year ended 31 March 2025. Having reviewed the auditor’s independence and performance
to date, the Committee recommended to the Board to put them forward at the AGM to stand as auditors
for the next financial period.
Internal audit
The Board considers the internal control system to be adequate for the Company. The Audit Committee
reviews the scope and scale of the non-audit services undertaken by the auditors in order to ensure that
their independence and objectivity is safeguarded. The Directors recognise the business will increase in
complexity as it grows, and they will review the internal control system to ensure it responds to any change.
The Group currently do not have an internal audit function.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
to the Members of RC365 Holdings Plc
1. Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of RC365 Holdings Plc (the “Parent Company”) and its
subsidiaries (together the “Group”) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and Company Statement of Financial Position, the
Consolidated and Company Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated and Company Statement of
Cash Flows, and related notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The
financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the Group’s financial statements
is applicable law and UK adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (“UK adopted IFRS”).
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and of the Parent Company’s affairs as at 31
March 2025, and of the Group’s loss for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with UK adopted IFRS; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
2.Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and
applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the
Group and Parent Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of
the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard applicable to listed entities, and
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with those requirements. We believe that
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
3.Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis
of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors’
assessment of the Group’s and Parent Company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of
accounting included:
We confirmed our understanding of management’s going concern assessment process and engaged
with management early to ensure all key factors were considered in their assessment;
We evaluated management’s going concern assessment which included assessing their evaluation
of business and strategic plans, liquidity and funding positions for the group and the parent
company;
We assessed the appropriateness of key assumptions made by management in preparing cash flow
forecasts for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approving the financial statements;
We evaluated forecasts prepared by management to recent historical financial information
performance to confirm the accuracy of these forecasts;
We obtained direct confirmation from investors confirming planned investment into the Group
during the going concern period; and
We assessed the going concern disclosures included in the annual report for compliance with the
reporting standards.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
to the Members of RC365 Holding Plc (continued)
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events
or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and Parent
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the
financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in
the relevant sections of this report. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted,
this statement is not a guarantee as to the Group’s and Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
An overview of the scope of our audit
Our audit was scoped by obtaining an understanding of the Group and its environment, including the
Group’s system of internal control, and assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial
statements. We also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including assessing
whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that may have presented a risk of material misstatement.
The scope of our audit was influenced by the level of materiality we determined.
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion
on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account an understanding of their activities, the
accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.
Our planned audit
testing was directed accordingly and was focused on areas where we assessed there to be the highest risk of
material misstatement.
During the audit we reassessed and re-evaluated audit risks and tailored our approach accordingly. The
audit testing included substantive testing on significant transactions, balances and disclosures, the extent of
which was based on various factors such as our overall assessment of the control environment, the
effectiveness of controls and the management of specific risks.
We communicated with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identified during the audit.
Our involvement with component auditors
We designed an audit strategy to ensure that we obtained the required audit assurance for each component
for the purposes of our Group audit opinion (in accordance with ISA 600 (Revised - UK)). Components
were scoped in to address aggregation risk and to ensure sufficient coverage was obtained of group balances
on which to base our audit opinion. For the work performed by component auditors in Hong Kong and
Malaysia, we determined the level of involvement needed in order to be able to conclude whether sufficient
appropriate audit evidence has been obtained as a basis for our opinion on the Group financial statements
as a whole. Our involvement with component auditors included the following:
Detailed Group reporting instructions were sent, which included the significant areas to be covered by
the audits (including areas that were considered to be key audit matters as detailed below), and set out
the information required to be reported to the Group audit team.
The Group audit team performed procedures independently over certain key audit risk areas, as
considered necessary, including the key audit matters below.
Regular communication took place between ourselves as group auditor and the component auditors
throughout the planning and execution phases of the audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
to the Members of RC365 Holding Plc (continued)
The Group audit team was actively involved in risk assessment and the direction of the audits
performed by the component auditors for Group reporting purposes, review of their working papers,
consideration of findings and determination of conclusions drawn.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of
material misstatement (whether due to fraud or error) we identified, including those which had the greatest
effect on the overall audit strategy; the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the
engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements, and
in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter description
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Going Concern
The Directors have prepared a cashflow
forecast covering monthly periods through to
31 July 2026. This forecasts that the Group and
Company being able to continue on a going
concern basis for at least the next twelve
months from the date of this report.
Significant auditor attention was focussed in
this area because of the existence of events or
conditions which may give rise to going
concern issues such as the ability of the group
to raise financing to fund its operations. In
addition, the Group has incurred losses from
operating activities for a number of reporting
periods. The loss after tax from continuing
operations for the year ended 31 March 2025
was HK$ 30,691,910 (2024: HK$ 31,586,093).
The group’s operations are mainly located in
Hong Kong.
These matters require auditor judgement on
whether the Group and Company will be able
to fund its operations and future projects for a
period at least twelve months from the date of
this report.
We performed the following audit procedures:
We confirmed our understanding of management’s
going concern assessment process and engaged with
management early to ensure all key factors were
considered in their assessment.
We checked cash at bank held at 31 March 2025 of
HK$ 11,775,409 to supporting documentation,
including bank statements. We confirmed significant
bank balances held by the Group that are considered
in management’s going concern assessment.
• We evaluated management’s going concern assessment
which included assessing their business and strategic
plans, liquidity and funding positions for the group.
We checked that the going concern assessment from
management covered a period of at least 12 mo
nths
from the expected date of approval of financial
statements. We also challenged the appropriateness
of judgements and assumptions considered by
management in the cashflow forecasts and obtained
corroborative evidence, wherever available, for key
assumptions made.
We assessed the appropriateness of management’s
forecasts by comparing them to the Group’s recent
historical financial performance and evaluating the
consistency of underlying assumptions with past
trends and available supporting evidence
We obtained direct confirmations from investors
identified by management to confirm their intention
and willingness to invest in the Group within the next
12 months, in accordance with the requirements of
ISAs (UK).

We checked whether the disclosures in the financial
statements were fairly stated, complete and accurate
in all material respects.
Conclusion:
We have completed our planned procedures.
We are of the view there are no material uncertainties
which exist in relation to the Group’s and Company’s
status as going concern.
Impairment of Intangible assets (Group)
Where indicators of impairment exist during
the reporting period, management and the
directors
are
required
to
perform
an
impairment review over the carrying values of
the Group’s intangible assets.
Management has assessed Group’s intangible
assets for impairment and has recognised
impairment provision of HK$ 19,625,320
(2024: nil) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
There are significant judgements to consider in
assessing value in use of intangible assets and
associated cashflow forecasts.
We performed the following audit procedures:
We reviewed impairment assessment performed by
management for intangible assets as of year-end.
We challenged management on the reasonableness of
their business plans supporting the recognition and
carrying value of intangible assets, including licences
and internally developed assets, and assessed the
associated forecast cash flows where applicable.
We assessed the procedures performed by the
component auditor on the impairment assessment of
ERP asset recognised by the Group as of year-end.
We involved auditor’s expert to assess and challenge
discount rate (WACC) applied by management in
discounting forecast cashflows.
We evaluated the appropriateness of the forecast
period applied by management in estimating future
free cash flows, considering the nature of the
business and industry practice.
We ensured the mathematical accuracy of the value-
in-use calculations performed by management.
We assessed the disclosures in the financial
statements for completeness and accuracy.
Conclusion: Based on the procedures performed, we
conclude that the impairment provision recognised
by
management
on
the
intangible
assets
is
appropriate as of year-end.
Impairment of investment in subsidiaries
and receivables from subsidiaries (parent
company)
Where indicators of impairment exist during
the reporting period, management and the
directors
are
required
to
perform
an
impairment review over the carrying values of
the investment in subsidiaries and receivables
We performed the following audit procedures:
We reviewed impairment assessment performed by
management for investment in subsidiaries and

Management
has
assessed
investment
in
subsidiaries and receivable from subsidiaries
for impairment and has recognised impairment
of HK$ 7,536,240 (2024: nil) and HK$
11,340,603 (2024: nil) respectively for the year
ended 31 March 2025.
There are significant judgements to consider in
assessing value in use of investment in
subsidiaries and receivables from subsidiaries
and associated cashflow forecasts.
We challenged management on the appropriateness
of the assumptions and judgments supporting the
cashflow forecasts of subsidiaries.
We involved auditor’s expert to assess and challenge
discount rate (WACC) applied by management in
discounting forecast cashflows.
We evaluated the appropriateness of the forecast
period applied by management in estimating future
free cash flows, considering the nature of the
business and industry practice of each material
subsidiary.
We ensured the mathematical accuracy of the value-
in-use calculations performed by management.
We assessed the disclosures in the financial
statements for completeness and accuracy.
Conclusion: Based on the procedures performed, we
conclude that the impairment provision recognised by
management on the intangible assets is appropriate as of
year-end.
Accounting for divestiture of subsidiary
The Group during the year has disposed RC
Pay Ltd (Hong Kong) for a consideration of
HK$ 400,000.
There is a risk that the disposal of subsidiary by
the Group and the parent company is not
accounted appropriately for the year-ended 31
March 2025.
We performed the following audit procedures:
We checked the sale agreement entered by the Group
for the sale of Hong Kong subsidiary.
We evaluated the appropriateness of accounting
performed
by
management
and
assessed
its
compliance with requirements of IFRS adopted by
the UK.
We checked the profit or loss calculations performed
by management on the sale of subsidiary.
We checked the receipt of the consideration to the
bank statement.
We assessed the disclosures in the financial
statements for completeness and accuracy including
consideration of discontinued operations as required
under IFRS adopted by the UK.
Conclusion: We have completed our planned procedures,
no material issues or exceptions have arisen.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
to the Members of RC365 Holding Plc (continued)
Our application of materiality
Our definition of materiality considers the value of error or omission on the financial statements that,
individually or in aggregate, would change or influence the economic decision of a reasonably
knowledgeable user of those financial statements. Misstatements below these levels will not necessarily be
evaluated as immaterial as we also take account of the nature of the identified misstatements, and the
particular circumstances of their occurrence, when evaluating their effect on the financial statements as a
whole. Materiality is used in planning the scope of our work, executing that work and evaluating the results.
Materiality

Overall
materiality
HK$ 141,000 (2024: HK$ 379,800)
HK$ 39,000 (2024: HK$ 379,800)
Basis for
determining
overall
materiality
Materiality was determined based on 1%
(2024: 2%) of the Group’s revenue.
We believe that the stakeholders of Group
are primarily focused on the revenue as this
determines the success of the products
launched by the Company and its recent
acquisitions.
Materiality was determined based on the
total assets of the parent company.
The nature of the parent company is that of
holding company for the group. We believe
that the total assets as most appropriate basis
for
determining
materiality
as
the
stakeholders focus on the total assets to
assess parent company’s ability to provide
support to subsidiaries when required.
Performance
materiality
HK$ 70,000 (2023: £265,860)
We set performance materiality based on
50% (2024:70%) of overall materiality.
Performance materiality is the application of
materiality at the individual account or
balance level, set at an amount to reduce, to
an appropriately low level, the probability
that the aggregate of the uncorrected and
undetected
misstatements
exceeds
mate
riality for the financial statements as a
whole.
In determining performance materiality, we
considered several factors including our
understanding of the control environment
of the Group.
HK$ 19,500 (HK$ 265,860)
We set performance materiality based on
50% (2024:70%) of overall materiality.
Performance materiality is the application of
materiality at the individual account or
balance level, set at an amount to reduce, to
an appropriately low level, the probability

whole.
In determining performance materiality, we
considered several factors including our
understanding of the control environment

threshold
We agreed to report any corrected or

Committee as well as differences below this
threshold that in our view warranted
reporting on qualitative grounds.

This represents 5% of the overall materiality
of the Group.
This represents 5% of the overall materiality
of the parent company.
Other matters
The financial statements of RC365 Holding Plc for the year ended 31 March 2024 were audited by another
auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion with materiality uncertainty on going concern on those
statements on 29 July 2024.
Other information
Other information comprises the information in the annual report, including Chairman’s Statement,
Strategic Report, Board of Directors, Directors Report, Risk Management Report, Corporate Governance
Statement, Audit Committee Report and Remuneration Committee Report. The directors are responsible
for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does
not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we
identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine
whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the
work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we
are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken during the audit:
the information given in Strategic Report and Director’s Report the for the financial year for which
the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic Report and Directors Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal
requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and its environment obtained during the
audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic report and Directors Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006
requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been
received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
to the Members of RC365 Holding Plc (continued)
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 12, the directors are
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and
fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing
the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s and Parent Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or Parent
Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can
arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken based on these financial
statements.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities, including fraud.
These audit procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were
free from fraud or error. The risk of not detecting material misstatement due to a fraud is higher than the
risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example,
forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
Identifying and assessing potential risks arising from irregularities, including fraud
The extent of the procedures undertaken to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement in respect
of irregularities, including fraud, included the following:
We considered the nature of the industry and sector, the control environment, business performance
including remuneration policies and the Group’s own risk assessment that irregularities might occur as
a result of fraud or error. From our sector experience and through discussions with the directors, we
obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Group focusing on
laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a direct material effect on the financial
statements, such as provisions of the Companies Act 2006, UK tax legislation, London Stock Exchange
rules and regulations, Hong Kong company law and tax laws or those that had a fundamental effect on
the operations of the Group.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
to the Members of RC365 Holding Plc (continued)
We made enquiries of the directors and management concerning the Group’s policies and procedures
relating to:
o
Identifying, evaluating, and complying with the laws and regulations and whether they were
aware of any instances of non-compliance;
o
Detecting and responding on the risks of fraud and whether they had any knowledge of actual
or suspected fraud; and
o
The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws
and regulations.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Group’s and Parent Company’s financial statements to material
misstatement, including how fraud might occur by evaluating management’s incentives and
opportunities for manipulation of the financial statements. This included utilising the spectrum of
inherent risk and an evaluation of the risk of management override of controls. We determined that
the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries creating fictitious transactions
to improve financial performance, and management bias in accounting estimates specific to impairment
of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, impairment of investment in subsidiary and related party
receivables.
Audit response to risks identified
In respect of the above procedures:
we corroborated the results of our enquiries through review of the minutes of the Board of
directors’ meetings,
we reviewed financial statement disclosures to supporting documentation to assess compliance
with applicable laws and regulations expected to have a direct impact on the financial statements,
we performed testing of journal entries, including those processed late for financial statements
preparation, those posted by infrequent or unexpected users, those posted to unusual account
combinations,
we evaluated the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of
business and reviewed accounting estimates for bias,
we made enquiries of management around actual and potential litigation and claims,
we challenged the assumptions and judgments made by management in relation to significant
accounting estimates,
we obtained confirmations from third parties to confirm existence of certain balances, and
we communicated relevant laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team
members and remained alert to any indication of fraud or non-compliance with laws and
regulations throughout the audit.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities,
including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with
regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events
and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances
of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error,
as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation.

2.3
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as the Directors are
confident in the Group and Parent Company’s ability to continue in operation existence
for the foreseeable future.
The Group and Parent Company have experienced losses and cash outflows from
operating activities; however, proactive measures have been taken to address these
challenges. Management has engaged in constructive negotiations with a potential investor,
who has demonstrated clear and ongoing commitment to supporting the business. A
written notice have been received confirmation their intent and discussion are progressing
positively.
The Directors are confident that the anticipated investment will provide sufficient capital
support to support the Group’s strategic objectives and operational requirements. Based
on this expected funding, along with continued cost management and revenue growth from
our co-branded programs, the Directors believe that there are no material uncertainties
that cast significant doubt over the ability of the Group and Parent Company to continue
on a going concern.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.3
Going Concern (Continued)
Accordingly, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate
resources to continue operation for the foreseeable future for the reason they have adopted
a going concern basis in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
2.4
Basis of consolidation
i) Business combination not under common control
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations not
under common control. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary
is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of
the acquiree and the equity interest issued by the Group, as appropriate. The consideration
transferred also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent
consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed in a business combination not under common control is measured
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are expensed
as incurred.
Allocation of total comprehensive income
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the
owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests (if applicable). Total
comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the Company and the non-
controlling interest (if applicable) even if this results in the non-controlling interest having
a deficit balance. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the
Group obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control
ceases.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.4
Basis of consolidation (Continued)
In the consolidated financial statements, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed
of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date
of disposal, as appropriate.
Intra-Group transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions
between Group companies are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial
statements. Profits and losses resulting from the inter-Group transactions that are
recognised in assets are also eliminated. Amounts reported in the financial statements of
subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting
policies adopted by the Group.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated
as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received
and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the
assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary.
2.5
Foreign currency translation
In the individual financial statements of the consolidated entities, foreign currency
transactions are translated into the functional currency of the individual entity using the
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the reporting date, monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign
exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the
settlement of such transactions and from the reporting date retranslation of monetary
assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined.
Non-
monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not
retranslated.
In the consolidated financial statements, all individual financial statements of foreign
operations, originally presented in a currency different from the Group’s presentation
currency, have been converted into Hong Kong dollars.
Assets and liabilities have been
translated into Hong Kong dollars at the closing rates at the reporting date.
Income and
expenses have been converted into the Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rates ruling at
the transaction dates, or at the average rates over the reporting period provided that the
exchange rates do not fluctuate significantly.
Any differences arising from this procedure
have been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in the
translation reserve in equity.
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e., a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a
foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a
foreign operation, loss of joint control over a joint venture that includes a foreign
operation, or loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign
operation), all of the accumulated exchange differences in respect of that operation
attributable to the Group are reclassified to profit or loss. Any exchange differences that
have previously been attributed to non-controlling interests are derecognised, but they are
not reclassified to profit or loss.

2.6
Contingent consideration
Contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group as the acquirer in a business
combination is recognised at acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent adjustments to
consideration are recognised against goodwill only to the extent that they arise from new
information obtained within the measurement period (a maximum of 12 months from the
acquisition date) about the fair value at the acquisition date. The subsequent accounting
for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as
measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is
classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at
subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at
subsequent reporting dates with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit
or loss.

.7
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a subsidiary is measured at the excess of the
consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and
the fair value of any previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the acquisition
date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of the acquired
subsidiary.
Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiary is recognised as a separate asset and is carried at cost
less accumulated impairment losses, which is tested for impairment annually or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be
impaired. For the purpose of impairment test and determination of gain or loss on
disposal, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (“CGU”). An impairment loss on
goodwill is not reversed.
On the other hand, any excess of the acquisition date amounts of identifiable assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed of the acquired subsidiary over the sum of the
consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and
the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree, if any, after
reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss as an income from bargain
purchase.

2.7
Goodwill (Continued)
Any resulting gain or loss arising from remeasuring the previously held equity interests in
the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value is recognised in profit or loss or other
comprehensive income, as appropriate.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or
changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill
is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair
value less costs of disposal. Any impairment is recognised immediately as an expense and
is not subsequently reversed.
2.8
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment (other than cost of right-of-use assets as described in note
2.12 are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The acquisition cost of an asset comprises of its purchase price and any direct attributable
costs of bringing the assets to the working condition and location for its intended use.
Depreciation of assets commences when the assets are ready for intended use.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment, is provided to write off the cost over their
estimated useful life, using the straight-line method, at the following rates per annum:
Furniture & Fixtures
20% per annum
Leasehold Improvement
20% per annum
Office Equipment
20% per annum
The assets’ depreciation methods and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate,
at each reporting date.
In the case of right-of-use assets, expected useful lives are determined by reference to
comparable owned assets or the lease term, if shorter. Material residual value estimates
and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually.
The gain or loss arising on the retirement or disposal is determined as the difference
between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit
or loss.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate
asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated
with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
All other costs, such as repairs
and maintenance, are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they
are Incurred.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at costs less
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised
on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives and
amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of
any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses.
Research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is
incurred.
An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the
development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following
have been demonstrated:
• the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for
use or sale;
• the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
• the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
• how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
• the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the
development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
• the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during
its development.
The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible asset is the sum of the
expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition
criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised,
development expenditure is recognised to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost
less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as
intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Intangible assets (Continued)
Derecognition of intangible assets
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are
expected from use or disposal. Gains and losses arising from derecognition of an intangible
asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
2.10
Financial instruments
IFRS 9 requires an entity to address the classification, measurement and recognition of
financial assets and liabilities.
i)
Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
• those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial
assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
The Company classifies financial assets at amortised cost only if both of the following
criteria are met:
• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash
flows; and
• the contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and
interest
ii)
Recognition
Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date (that is, the date on
which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset). Financial assets are
derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired
or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership.
iii)
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the
case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs
that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of
financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.10
Financial instruments (continued)
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those
cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised
cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the
effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised
directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign
exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the
statement of profit or loss.
(iv) Impairment
The Company assesses, on a forward looking basis, the expected credit losses associated
with any debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied
depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade
receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which
requires lifetime expected credit losses (“ECL”) to be recognised from initial recognition
of the receivables.
The Group measures the loss allowance for other receivables equal to 12-month ECL,
unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the
Group recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be
recognised is based on significant increase in the likelihood or risk of default occurring
since initial recognition.
Financial liabilities
The Group’s financial liabilities include lease liabilities, trade and other payables,
borrowings, contingent consideration and convertible loan note.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for
transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through
profit or loss.
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are
carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other
than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging
instruments).
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are
reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or
cancelled or expires.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.10
Financial instruments (continued)
Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on
substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified,
such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and
the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amount is
recognised in profit or loss.
Convertible loan note
The component of the convertible loan note that exhibits characteristics of a liability is
recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position, net of issue costs. The
corresponding dividends on those shares are charged as interest expense in profit or loss.
On the issue of the convertible loan note, the fair value of the liability component is
determined using a market rate for a similar note that does not have a conversion option;
and this amount is carried as a long-term liability on the amortised cost basis until
extinguished on conversion or redemption.
The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and
included in the convertible loan note equity reserve within shareholders’ equity, net of
issue costs. The value of the conversion option carried in equity is not changed in
subsequent years. When the conversion option is exercised, the balance of the convertible
loan note equity reserve is transferred to share capital or other appropriate reserve. When
the conversion option remains unexercised at the expiry date, the balance remained in the
convertible loan note equity reserve is transferred to accumulated profits/losses. No gain
or loss is recognised in profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the option.
Issue costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible
loan note based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity components when
the instruments are first recognised. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the
convertible loan note are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to
the allocation of proceeds.
A contract is not an equity instrument solely because it may result in the receipt or delivery
of the entity's own equity instruments. A contract that will be settled by the entity receiving
or delivering a fixed number of its own equity instruments in exchange for a fixed amount
of cash or another financial asset is an equity instrument. Accordingly, any derivative
instrument that gives one party a choice over how it is settled (e.g., the issuer or the holder
can choose settlement net in cash or by exchanging shares for cash) is a financial asset or
a financial liability. A convertible loan note that is issued in a currency other than
functional currency of the Company is a financial liability.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.12
Lease
Definition of a lease and the Group as a lessee
At inception of a contract
, the Group considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease.
A lease is defined as “a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an
identified asset (the underlying asset) for a period
of
time in exchange for consideration”.
To apply this definition, the Group assesses whether the contract meets three key
evaluations which are whether:
-
the contracts contain an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the
contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made
available to the
Group
;
-
the
Group
has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use
of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the
defined scope of the contract; and
-
the
Group
has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period
of use. The
Group
assess whether it has the right to direct “how and for what purpose”
the asset is used throughout the period of use.
For contracts that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-
lease components, the
Group
allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and
non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.
Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee
At lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability
on the consolidated statement of financial position. The right-of-use asset is measured at
cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct
costs incurred by the Group, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and
remove
the
underlying asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the
lease commencement date (net of any lease incentives received).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.12
Lease (continued)
Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee (continued)
The
Group
depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease
commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or
the end of the lease term unless the
Group
is reasonably certain to obtain ownership at
the end of the lease term. The
Group
also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment
when such indicator exists.
At the commencement date, the
Group
measures the lease liability at the present value of
the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the
lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the
Group
’s incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed
payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable,
variable payments based on an index or rate, and amounts expected to be payable under a
residual value guarantee. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase
option reasonably certain to be exercised by the
Group
and payment of penalties for
terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the
Group
exercising the option to terminate.
Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for lease payments made
and increased for interest cost on the lease liability. It is remeasured to reflect any
reassessment or lease modification, or if there are changes in in-substance fixed payments.
The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as
expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
When the lease is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-
use asset, or profit and loss if the right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero.
The
Group
has elected to account for short-term leases using the practical expedients.
Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to
these leases are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the
lease term. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 month or less.
On the consolidated statement of financial position, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
have been presented separately.

• “Translation reserve” comprises foreign currency translation differences arising from the

• “Group reorganisation reserve” arose on the group reorganisation.
• “Accumulated losses” include all current period results as disclosed in the income
statements.
No dividends are proposed for the year.
2.14
Revenue recognition
Revenue arises mainly from contracts for IT software development.
To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:
Step 1: Identifying the contract with a customer
Step 2: Identifying the performance obligations
Step 3: Determining the transaction price
Step 4: Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
Step 5: Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied
In all cases, the total transaction price for a contract is allocated amongst the various
performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The transaction
price for a contract excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, when (or as) the Group
satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its
customers.
Where the contract contains a financing component which provides a significant financing
benefit to the customer for more than 12 months, revenue is measured at the present value
of the amount receivable, discounted using the discount rate that would be reflected in a
separate financing transaction with the customer, and interest income is accrued separately
under the effective interest method. Where the contract contains a financing component
which provides a significant financing benefit to the Group, revenue recognised under
that contract includes the interest expense accreted on the contract liability under the
effective interest method.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.14
Revenue recognition (continued)
Further details of the Group’s revenue and other income recognition policies are as
follows:
Services income
Revenue from IT software development is recognised over time as the Group’s
performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls. The progress
towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured based on input
method, i.e. the costs incurred up to date compared with the total budgeted costs, which
depict the Group’s performance towards satisfying the performance obligation.
When the outcome of the contract cannot be reasonably measured, revenue is recognised
only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are expected to be recovered.
Remittance and payment service fee income
Remittance and payment service fee income are recognised at the time the related services
are rendered.
Media production service income
Media production service income is recognised on an appropriate basis over the relevant
period in which the services are rendered.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest
method.
Contract assets and contract liabilities
If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer
pays consideration or before payment is due, the contract is presented as a contract asset,
excluding any amounts presented as a receivable. Conversely, if a customer pays
consideration, or the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is
unconditional, before the Group transfers a good or service to the customer, the contract
is presented as a contract liability when the payment is made or the payment is due
(whichever is earlier). A receivable is the Group’s right to consideration that is
unconditional or only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration
is due.
For a single contract or a single set of related contracts, either a net contract asset or a net
contract liability is presented. Contract assets and contract liabilities of unrelated contracts
are not presented on a net basis.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.14
Revenue recognition (continued)
For certain services provided by the Group, in accordance with the underlying service
agreements which negotiated on a case-by-case basis with customer, the Group may
receive from the customer the whole or some of the contractual payments before the
services are completed or when the goods are delivered (i.e. the timing of revenue
recognition for such transactions). The Group recognises a contract liability until it is
recognised as revenue. During that period, any significant financing components, if
applicable, will be included in the contract liability and will be expensed as accrued unless
the interest expense is eligible for capitalisation.
2.15
Government grants and non-government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable
assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached
conditions. Government grants are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the
period necessary to match them with the costs that the grants are intended to compensate.
Government grants relating to income is presented in gross under other income in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Non-government related grants are recognised as income when there is reasonable
assurance that the entity will comply with all attached conditions and the grant will be
received. Grants shall be initially measured at the fair value of the assets received or the
nominal amount for cash grant where the grant relates to expenses already incurred, it
shall be recognized in profit or loss immediately. For grants tied to specific performance
obligations or multi-period projects, income shall be recognised using the percentage-of-
completion method, systematically matching grant revenue with the related costs.
2.16
Impairment of non-financial assets
Property, plant and equipment (including right-of-use assets) and intangible assets and the
Company’s interests in subsidiaries are subject to impairment testing.
An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately for the amount by which the
asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher
of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs of disposal, and value in use.
In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value
using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of time value of
money and the risk specific to the asset.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, where an asset does not generate cash inflows
largely independent from those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined
for the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-
generating unit).
As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some
are tested at cash-generating unit level.
Goodwill in particular is allocated to those cash-
generating units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the related business
combination and represent the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is
monitored for internal management purpose and not be larger than an operating segment.
Impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash generating unit, except
that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less
cost of disposal, or value in use, if determinable.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.16
Impairment of non-financial assets (Continued)
Impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to
determine the assets’ recoverable amount and only to the extent that the assets’ carrying
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
2.17
Employee benefits
Retirement benefits
Retirement benefits to employees are provided through defined contribution plans.
The Group participates in various defined contribution retirement benefit plans which are
available to all relevant employees. These plans are generally funded through payments to
schemes established by governments or trustee-administered funds. A defined
contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays contributions on a
mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis into a separate fund. The Group has no legal or
constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient
assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee services in the current and
prior years. The Group’s contributions to the defined contribution plans are recognised
as an expense in profit or loss as employees render services during the year.
Short-term employee benefits
Liability for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service
leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting
date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting
date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
2.18
Related parties

Close family members of an individual are those family members who may expected to
influence, or be influenced by, that individual in their dealings with the entity.
2.19
Accounting for income taxes
Taxation comprises current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is based on taxable profit or loss for the period. Taxable profit or loss differs
from profit or loss as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of
income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes
items that are never taxable or deductible. The asset or liability for current tax is calculated
using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in the financial information and the corresponding tax bases used in the
computation of taxable profit and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and
deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will
be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets
and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition
of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other
assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the
accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on
investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the
temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in
the foreseeable future.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
2.19
Accounting for income taxes (Continued)
Deferred tax is calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply in
the period the liability is settled or the asset realised, provided they are enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be
available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the
tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled, or the asset
realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to
items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt
with in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right set off
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied
by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and
liabilities on a net basis.
2.20
Earnings per ordinary share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares.
Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to
Shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
reporting period.
Diluted earnings per ordinary share is calculated by adjusting the earnings and number of
ordinary shares for the effects of dilutive potential ordinary shares.
2.21
Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting
provided to the chief operating decision-makers. The chief operating decision-makers,
who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating
segments, has been identified as the executive board of Directors.
All operations and information are reviewed together.
During the year, in the opinion of
the Directors, there is only one reportable operating segment of IT software development
in Hong Kong due to its significant portion of operation among all business activities.

KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies which are described in note 2, Directors
have made the following judgement that might have significant effect on the amounts recognised
in the consolidated financial statements. The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key
sources of estimation uncertainty at the statement of financial position date, that might have a
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next financial year, are also discussed below.
Discount rate of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets determination
In determining the discount rate, the Group is required to exercise considerable judgement in
relation to determining the discount rate taking into account the nature of the underlying assets,
the terms and conditions of the leases, at the commencement date and the effective date of the
modification. The Group’s rate is referenced to the related party bank borrowing in Hong Kong.
Fair value measurements and valuation processes
Some of the Group’s financial assets are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes.
In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market-observable data to the
extent it is available. Where Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are not available, the Group engages an
independent firm of professional valuers to perform the valuation. In relying on the valuation
report, the Directors have exercised their judgement and are satisfied to establish the appropriate
valuation techniques and inputs to the model. The fluctuation in the fair value of the assets and
liabilities is reported and analysed periodically.
The Group uses valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market
data to estimate the fair value of certain types of financial instruments. Judgement and estimation
are required in establishing the relevant valuation techniques and the relevant inputs thereof. Whilst
the Group considers these valuations are the best estimates, the ongoing changes in market
conditions that may result in greater market volatility and may cause further disruptions to the
investees’/issuers’ businesses, which have led to higher degree of uncertainties in respect of the
valuations in the current year. Changes in assumptions relating to these factors could result in
material adjustments to the fair value of these consolidated financial instruments. Detailed
information about the valuation techniques, inputs and key assumptions used in the determination
of the fair value of various assets and liabilities are set out in note 15, 24 and 26.6.
Impairment of goodwill
The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an
estimation of the value in use of the CGU to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value
in use requires the management to choose a suitable valuation model and make estimation of the
key valuation parameter and other relevant business assumptions.
Impairment of intangible assets
The Group reviews the carrying amounts of its intangible assets to determine whether there is any
indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the
recoverable amount of the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the
impairment loss (if any).
Docusign Envelope ID: 914DA166-1C03-4FFE-8D1E-46FD3CC59914

Page
The recoverable amount of intangible assets are estimated individually. When it is not possible to
estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the
CGU to which the asset belongs. In testing a cash-generating unit for impairment, corporate assets
are allocated to the relevant cash-generating unit when a reasonable and consistent basis of
allocation can be established, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash
generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be established. The
recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units
to which the corporate asset belongs, and is compared with the carrying amount of the relevant
cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair
value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash
flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or a CGU) for which
the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount,
the carrying amount of the asset (or a CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For corporate
assets or portion of corporate assets which cannot be allocated on a reasonable and consistent
basis to a CGU, the Group compares the carrying amount of a group of CGUs, including the
carrying amounts of the corporate assets or portion of corporate assets allocated to that group of
CGUs, with the recoverable amount of the group of CGUs. In allocating the impairment loss, the
impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and
then to the other assets on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit
or the group of CGUs. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair
value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use (if determinable) and zero. The amount
of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata
to the other assets of the unit or the group of CGUs. An impairment loss is recognised immediately
in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to
the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been
recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately
in profit or loss.
Impairment of investment in subsidiaries and receivables from group companies
Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. Potential indications of impairment may include
significant adverse changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which
the assets operate or whether there has been a significant or prolonged decline in value below their
cost. “Significant” is evaluated against the original cost of the investment and “prolonged” against
the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell
and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels
for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Impaired assets are
reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
In the Company’s balance sheet, impairment testing of investments in subsidiaries and receivables
from group companies, are also required upon if the carrying amount of that entity in the
Company’s balance sheet exceeds the carrying amount of that entity’s net assets including goodwill
in its consolidated balance sheet.

(i)
Impairment losses on intangible assets of HK$19,625,320 was recognised during the year
end 31 March 2025. Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment
testing for an asset is required, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s
recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or CGU’s value in use and its fair value less
costs of disposal. An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows
are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
(ii)
Impairment losses on loan receivables of HK$3,257,981 was recognised during the year
end 31 March 2025. the Group assessed the recoverability based on factors such as the
latest status of loans receivables, publicly available or accessible information about the
borrowers, the value of the collaterals, and the latest financial condition of the borrowers
and guarantors, and made provision for relevant impairment based on the difference
between the recoverable amount and the outstanding amount of the loan as at 31 March
2025.
(iii)
Impairment losses on goodwill of HK$759,289 was recognised during the year end 31
March 2025. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 March
2025. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the Group’s cash
generating units (“CGUs”) (group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. Where the
recoverable amount of the CGU (group of CGUs) is less than the carrying amount, an
impairment loss is recognised.
The Group has experienced losses and cash outflows from operating activities; however,
proactive measures have been taken to address these challenges. Management has engaged
in constructive negotiations with a potential investor, who has demonstrated clear and
ongoing commitment to supporting the business. A written notice have been received and
discussion are progressing positively. The management has therefore based on that to
prepare its cash flow projections to undertake impairment testing on goodwill, intangible
assets and loan receivables. Taking into account the forecasted revenue and growth rate
of the CGU, the Management considered that it was appropriate to take a conservative
approach to recognise impairment losses. In view that the carrying amount of the goodwill,
intangible assets and loan receivables of CGU was higher than the recoverable amount,
goodwill, intangible assets and loan receivables of CGU were impaired for the year ended
31 March 2025.

UK corporation tax is calculated at 25% of the estimated assessable profit for the year (2024: Nil).
For the year ended 31 March 2025 and 2024, Hong Kong Profits Tax calculated at 8.25% on the
first HK$2 million of the estimated assessable profits of one of the subsidiaries of the Group and
at 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits above HK$2 million of that subsidiary. The profits of
other group entities not qualified for the two-tier profits tax regime will continue to be taxed at flat
rate of 16.5%. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these losses due to the
unpredictability of future taxable profits streams of the subsidiaries in Hong Kong.

Goodwill was derived from the acquisition of 100% equity interests in Mr. Meal Production Limited
("Mr. Meal") and its subsidiary (together the "Mr. Meal Group") at an aggregate consideration of
HK$2,000,000 in July 2023. The excess of the consideration transferred over the acquisition-date
fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of HK$759,289 is recognised
as goodwill. At 31 March 2025, the directors assessed the recoverable amount of the goodwill with
reference to the cash flow projection of Mr. Meal Group and recognised an impairment provision
of HK$759,289 against goodwill.

line basis ranged over 5 years and 10 years.
During the year ended 31 March 2025, the Group reviewed the recoverable amounts of the
development costs, provision of impairment loss has been recognised during the year.
In respect of the money lending license acquired during the year ended 31 March 2025, the
license has no foreseeable limit to the period over which the Group can use to generate net
cash flows. The directors consider the licenses as having indefinite useful lives because they are
expected to contribute to net cash inflows indefinitely. The licenses will not be amortised until
their useful life are determined to be finite.
During the year ended 31 March 2025, the Group reviewed the recoverable amounts of the
money lending license. No impairment loss has been recognised during the year.

On 22 February 2023, the Company as an issuer entered into a share subscription
agreement with Hatcher Group Limited (a company listed on the Growth Enterprise
Market of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, stock code: 8365) (the “Subscriber” or
“Hatcher Group”), pursuant to which the Subscriber conditionally agreed to subscribe for,
and the Company conditionally agreed to issue and allot, an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares
at the subscription price of £0.19 per subscription share for a total consideration of
£3,420,000 (the “Subscription”). The consideration for the Subscription was to be settled

Trade receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of customers that have a
good track record with the Group. Based on past experience, the Directors believe that no
impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant
change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable.
As at 31 March 2025 and 2024, no ECL has been provided for trade and other receivables, deposit
and prepayment. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.
The Directors consider that the fair values of trade and other receivables, and deposit and
prepayment are not materially different from their carrying amounts because these balances have
short maturity periods on their inception.

The loans to independent third parties are unsecured, bearing interest at 10% (2024: 10%) per
annum and with fixed terms of repayment. As at 31 March 2025, the Directors consider that their
carrying amounts exceeded their recoverable amount in light of the significant increase in the credit
risk of the counterparty. Accordingly, the carrying amounts of loan receivables were written down
to their recoverable amounts and thus, provision for impairment losses of HK$3,257,981 were
recognised against the loan receivables.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
(CONTINUED)
26.2
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial
instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Group’s
exposure to currency risk mainly arises from the fluctuation of each the following currency
against the functional currencies of the relevant entities now comprising the Group. The
carrying amounts of the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary
liabilities other than the functional currencies of the relevant entities comprising the
Group are as follows. The management closely monitors foreign exchange exposure to
mitigate the foreign currency risk.

A 1% increase in the GBP/HKD is expected to have an impact of HK$15k.
26.3
Interest rate risk
The Group has no significant interest-bearing assets. Cash at bank earns interest at floating
rates based on daily bank deposits rates.
The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank
borrowings. It is the Group’s policy to keep its borrowings at floating rate of interest to
minimize the fair value interest rate risk. The Group currently does not have hedging
policy. However, the Directors monitor interest rate exposure and will consider necessary
action when significant interest rate exposure is anticipated.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest
rates for variable-rate borrowings. The analysis is prepared assuming the borrowings
outstanding at the end of the reporting period were outstanding for the whole year. A 100
basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to
Directors and represents Directors’ assessment of the reasonably possible change in
interest rates. If interest rates had been 100 basis point higher/lower and all other variables
were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax loss for the year would increase/decrease by
HK$38,845 (2024: HK$45,399). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to

Credit risk
The Group’s exposure to credit risk mainly arises from granting credit to customers and
other counterparties in the ordinary course of its operations. The Group’s maximum
exposure to credit risk for the components of the consolidated statement of financial
position at 31 March 2025 refers to the carrying amount of financial assets as disclosed in
note 26.1.
The exposures to credit risk are monitored by the Directors such that any outstanding
debtors are reviewed and followed up on an ongoing basis. The Group’s policy is to deal
only with creditworthy counterparties. Payment record of customers is closely monitored.
Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from debtors.
Trade receivables
The Group has applied the simplified approach to assess the ECL as prescribed by IFRS
9. To measure the ECL, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk
characteristics and the past due days. In calculating the ECL rates, the Group considers
historical elements and forward looking elements. Lifetime ECL rate of trade receivables
is assessed minimal for all ageing bands as there was no recent history of default and
continuous payments were received. The Group determined that the ECL allowance in
respect of trade receivables for the years ended 31 March 2025 and 2024 is minimal as
there has not been a significant change in credit quality of the customers.
Other financial assets at amortised cost
Other financial assets at amortised cost include deposits, other receivables, loan
receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
The Directors are of opinion that there is no significant increase in credit risk on deposits,
other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents since initial recognition as the risk of
default is low after considering the factors as following:
-
any changes in business, financial or economic conditions that affects the debtor’s
ability to meet its debt obligations;
-
any changes in the operating results of the debtor;
-
any changes in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor
that affects the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations.
The Group has assessed that the ECL for deposits, other receivables and loan receivables
are minimal under the 12-months ECL method as there is no significant increase in credit
risk since initial recognition. The credit risk with related parties is limited because the
counterparties are fellow subsidiaries. The Directors have assessed the financial position
of these related parties and there is no indication of default.
The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents are considered negligible as the counterparties
are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
(CONTINUED)
26.5
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk relates to the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its obligations
associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial
asset.
The Group’s prudent policy is to regularly monitor its current and expected liquidity
requirements, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and cash equivalents
to meet its liquidity requirements in the short term and longer term.
Analysed below are the Group’s remaining contractual maturities for its non-derivative
financial liabilities as at the reporting date.
When the creditor has a choice of when the
liability is settled, the liability is included on the basis of the earliest date when the Group
is required to pay.
Where settlement of the liability is in instalments, each instalment is
allocated to the earliest period in which the Group is committed to pay.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
(CONTINUED)
26.6
Fair values measurement
The following presents the assets and liabilities measured at fair value or required to
disclose their fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis across
the three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined in IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”
with the fair value measurement categorised in its entirety based on the lowest level input
that is significant to the entire measurement. The levels of inputs are defined as follows:
• Level 1 (highest level): quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date;
• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
• Level 3 (lowest level): unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
(a)
Assets measured at fair value
During the year, there were no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2, nor transfer into
and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
(b)
Assets and liabilities with fair value disclosure, but not measured at fair value
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities that are carried at amortised
costs are not materially different from their fair values at the end of each reporting
period.
27.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group’s capital management objectives are to ensure its ability to continue as a going concern
and to provide an adequate return for shareholders by pricing services commensurately with the
level of risks.
The Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure and makes adjustments
in light of changes in economic conditions. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the
Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares or raises new
debt financing.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation:
The separate financial statements of the Company are presented as required by the Companies Act
2006. As permitted by that Act, the separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The principal accounting
policies adopted are the same as those set out in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
The financial statements are presented in Hong Kong Dollars ("HK$"), which is the Group's
functional and presentational currency, and rounded to the nearest dollar. In addition, investments
in subsidiaries are stated at cost less, where appropriate, provision for impairment.
36.
LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS
Under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, the Company is exempt from the requirement to
present its own income statement. The loss attributable to the Company for the year ended 31
March 2025 was HK$ 46,769,021. (2024 (restated): loss of HK$ 37,172,728)
37.
STAFF COSTS
During the years ended 31 March 2025 and 2024, all Directors and staff are employed by wholly
owned subsidiaries of the Company, and therefore there were no Directors’ remuneration and staff
costs.
38.
AMOUNT DUE FROM A SUBSIDIARY/DUE TO A SUBSIDIARY
The amounts due are unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand. As at 31 March 2025, the
balances with group companies will be settled on a net basis and accordingly netted in the company
financial statements. As a result, the balance of Cast Great Investments Limited was HK$230,521
presented in amount due from a subsidiary and the balance of RC365 Global Limited was HK$
1,298,847 and the balance of RCPAY Limited was HK$135,493 presented in amount due to
subsidiaries.
39.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
39.1
Credit risk
The main credit risk is amount due from a subsidiary and cash and cash equivalents. In
order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team
responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring
procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition,
the Group reviews regularly the recoverable amount of other receivables and amount due
from a subsidiary to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable
amounts. Assessments done based on the Group’s historical settlement records, past
experience, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions
at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions. In this regard, the
management considers that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced. Other
receivables and amount due from a subsidiary are written off when there is no reasonable
expectation of recovery.

Page
39.2
Liquidity risk
The main liquidity risk relates to the other payables and amount due to a subsidiary. The
Company’s prudent policy is to regularly monitor its current and expected liquidity
requirements, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves to meet its liquidity
requirements in the short term and longer term.
39.3
Fair value measurement
The following presents the assets and liabilities measured at fair value or required to
disclose their fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis across
the three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined in IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”
with the fair value measurement categorised in its entirety based on the lowest level input
that is significant to the entire measurement. The levels of inputs are defined as follows:
• Level 1 (highest level): quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date;
• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
• Level 3 (lowest level): unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
(c)
Assets measured at fair value
During the year, there were no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2, nor transfer into
and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
(d)
Assets and liabilities with fair value disclosure, but not measured at fair value
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities that are carried at amortised
costs are not materially different from their fair values at the end of each reporting
period.
39.4
Capital risk management
The Company’s capital management objectives are to ensure its ability to continue as a
going concern and to provide an adequate return for shareholders.
The Company actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure and makes
adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. In order to maintain or adjust the
capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
issue new shares or raises new debt financing.
