Financial Results for the Six Months Ended October 31, 2023
Revenue
Our revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2023 was US$8.7
million as compared to US$13.9 million for the six months ended
October 31, 2022. Hotel operations, hospitality and VIP services
income was US$6.9 million and has become a new revenue driver for
us after the successful acquisition of AMTD Assets Group, the real
estate arm of AMTD Group Inc., focusing on and specializing in
hospitality and lifestyle concepts globally.
Employee benefits expenses
Staff costs for the six months ended October 31, 2023 decreased
by 18.2% as compared to the same period in prior year to US$3.1
million. This was due to the tightened cost control in connection
with the global economic slowdown and rising geopolitical
uncertainties.
Premises and office expenses
Premises and office expenses for the six months ended October
31, 2023 increased by 208.5% as compared to the same period in
prior year to US$1.5 million. This was due to the incremental costs
attributable to the post-acquisition operations of AMTD Assets
Group.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended October
31, 2023 increased by 407.6% as compared to the same period in
prior year to US$2.1 million, primarily attributable to the hotel
properties of AMTD Assets Group.
Finance costs
Finance costs for the six months ended October 31, 2023
increased by US$3.4 million as compared to the same period in prior
year, primarily attributable to the incremental borrowings by the
Company, and due to the consolidation of AMTD Assets Group which
had outstanding bank loans to finance the underlying real estate
properties.
Other expenses
Other expenses for the six months ended October 31, 2023
increased by 821.5% as compared to the same period in prior year to

million.

through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
Change in fair value on financial assets measured at FVTPL for

primarily attributable to the realisation from gain of
entertainment projects during the period.
Other Income
Other income increased by 85.3% as compared to the same period
in prior year to US$9.0 million, primarily due to (i) an increase
in bank interest income as the Company had generated additional
interest income from deposits with banks, and (ii) an increase in
the net average outstanding balance due from our ultimate holding
company, which was interest bearing.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense for the six months ended October 31, 2023
increased by 15.1% as compared to the same period in prior year to
