Revenues increased by 11.3% to HK$182.2 million (US$23.4 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 from HK$163.7 million (US$21.0 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in revenues from the security-related engineering services business. Revenues from the provision of security-related engineering services increased by 9.0% to HK$107.0 million (US$13.8 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 from HK$98.1 million (US$12.5 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

Cost of revenues increased by 16.4% to HK$134.6 million (US$17.3 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 from HK$115.6 million (US$14.9 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The increase was in line with the business growth of security-related engineering services and security guarding and screening, as the Company continues to focus on providing a comprehensive portfolio of security products and solutions, along with experienced, tenured employees.

Gross profit decreased slightly by 0.9% to HK$47.6 million (US$6.1 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 from HK$48.0 million (US$6.2 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the net impact of a decrease in the gross profit margin of security-related engineering services triggered by certain projects completed during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, combined with a lower gross profit margin of security guarding services contracts resulting from an increasing labor cost.

Gross profit margin was 26.1% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 compared to 29.3% in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. Gross profit margin of project and maintenance income under security-related engineering services decreased to 32.1% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 from 36.4% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. Gross profit margin of equipment leasing income under security-related engineering services decreased to 64.6% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 from 73.9% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. Gross profit margin of security guarding and screening services maintained at a stable level, which was 15.1% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, and 15.2% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 2.1% to HK$36.0 million (US$4.6 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, from HK$36.8 million (US$4.7 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The Company achieved the decrease from a reversal of provision for credit loss, while offsetting higher legal and professional fees associated with its initial public offering and being a public company, while also increasing promotional activities and campaigns to penetrate the market.

Losses on the disposal of property and equipment were HK$0.6 million (US$0.1 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, compared to HK$0.5 million (US$0.1 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

Our other income decreased by 15.6% to HK$1.2 million (US$0.2 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, from HK$1.4 million (US$0.2 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in government grants received in relation to COVID-19 to nil for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, from HK$0.4 million (US$0.6 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

Income tax expenses decreased by 44.1% to HK$1.3 million (US$0.2 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, from HK$2.3 million (US$0.3 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to decrease in income before income tax.

Net income increased by 8.7% to HK$10.7 million (US$1.4 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, from HK$9.8 million (US$1.3 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, with a net income margin of 6.0% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 and 5.9% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

Trade receivables, net decreased by 37.5%, to HK$21.9 million (US$2.8 million) as of September 30, 2024, from HK$35.0 million (US$4.5 million) as of September 30, 2023. The decrease of trade receivables was mainly attributable to a general reduction in gross amount of receivables triggered by improving credit collection activities during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

Trade payables decreased by 46.4%, to HK$8.6 million (US$1.1 million) as of September 30, 2024, from HK$16.1 million (US$2.1 million) as of September 30, 2023. The decrease was due to more timely settlement of costs of revenues supported by operating cash inflow.

Inventories increased by 16.4% to HK$47.6 million (US$6.1 million) as of September 30, 2024, from HK$40.9 million (US$5.3 million) as of September 30, 2023. The increase of inventories was mainly due to an increase in work-in-progress since there are more ongoing projects and thus more project costs being incurred and transferred to work-in-progress. The increase is consistent with our business growth and the increase in revenues.

Capital expenditures were HK$3.2 million (US$0.4 million) the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, compared to HK$1.4 million (US$0.2 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, with the increase primarily related to the acquisition of equipment and computer software to meet expected business growth.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was HK$14.1 million (US$1.8 million) with net cash provided by financing activities of HK$25.2 million (US$3.2 million), compared to net cash used in operating activities of HK$13.5 million (US$1.7 million) and net cash used in financing activities of HK$4.8 million (US$0.6 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

The Company had a balance of cash and cash equivalents of HK$52.3 million (US$6.7 million) with working capital of approximately HK$82.1 million (US$10.6 million), as of September 30, 2024.
