Revenue

The Company is an integrated marketing and advertising services provider in Hong Kong specializing in mobile games promotion for the Hong Kong market. Its clients primarily come from China and are either mobile game developers or affiliated with the development of mobile games.

Revenue decreased by HK$6.1 million, or approximately 25.6%, from approximately HK$23.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, to approximately HK$17.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease of approximately HK$4.6 million was primarily due to the decline in customers’ demands for online advertising. Because a new mobile game typically takes one to two years to launch, some of COVID-19’s negative impacts on the Company’s business were fully realized only in the period covered by this report. In addition, some of the Company’s client operations in the local market in Hong Kong were further affected by the prevailing general economic outlook in the region and, correspondingly, have reduced the number of new mobile games launched in the market, which in turn resulted in the Company’s reduced business volume during the related period.

The decline in demand for the Company’s services was most pronounced for online advertising services because many of the Company’s clients further allocated a larger portion of their advertising budget to offline media channels. Since COVID-19’s adverse implications have abated, the Company anticipates a rebound in online revenue for the foreseeable future.

Conversely, the Company’s offline advertising revenue remained fairly consistent for the two fiscal periods presented. Of these, during the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company undertook more offline advertising campaigns of relatively larger scale, which correspondingly lead to a higher individual contract value but, overall, a reduced number of offline advertising projects were undertaken. Accordingly, while more of the Company’s clients have shifted from online to offline advertising during the covered period, the offline advertising revenue did not increase and were comparable to the preceding fiscal period.

In addition to revenue resulting from online and offline advertising services, the Company also derived revenue from strategic planning and other services, which were rendered on an interim basis. These revenues also experienced a decline during the related period, as many clients found it easier to manage their advertising pursuits on a one-off package and have opted for those arrangements in place of an interim service term. Nevertheless, revenue received from these service categories does not constitute a significant proportion of the Company’s income portfolio.

Cost of services

Cost of services decreased by approximately HK$3.2 million (US$0.4 million), or approximately 20.2%, to approximately HK$12.7 million (US$1.6 million) for the six months September 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended September 31, 2023. Alongside the decline in demand for online advertising services during the related period, there was a corresponding reduction in online advertising expenditures incurred, such as fees paid to media publishers for the procurement of advertising inventories, contributing to an overall decrease in the Company’s cost of services.

In contrast, the decrease in cost of services was less than proportionate than the decrease in revenue, mainly because offline advertising expenditures did not experience a decline to the same extent as revenue. By its nature, offline advertising frequently entails the deployment of physical mediums for the broadcast of advertising content and thereby results in a higher advertising fee rate. Thus, alongside the increase in the proportion of offline advertising services provided to clients, the Company’s cost of services did not reflect the a decrease to the same extent as compared to revenue.

Gross profit

Gross profit decreased by approximately HK$2.8 million, or approximately 36.6%, to approximately HK$4.9 million (US$1.2 million) for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit was mainly the result of reduced online revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Gross profit margin decreased from approximately 32.7% for the six months ended September 30, 2023, to 27.8% for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in gross profit margin was mainly due to the decrease in revenue from online advertising and other services, which normally leads to a higher gross profit margin as compared to offline advertising, for the reasons previously discussed.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately HK$0.8 million, or approximately 20.0%, for the six months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to the Company’s reduction in staff performance bonus payments compared to prior years. In addition, the general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2023, included an impairment loss on accounts receivable, which did not recur for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense decreased by approximately HK$0.4 million, or approximately 43.7%, from approximately HK$0.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, to approximately HK$0.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The Company’s principal operating subsidiary, CTRL Media, was incorporated in Hong Kong and is therefore subject to Hong Kong profits tax, which is chargeable at the tax rate of 16.5% for all assessable profits derived from the jurisdiction of Hong Kong. The decrease in income tax expense was mainly the result of the decline in the Company’s profitability for the period concerned, which correspondingly translated into a lower tax assessable profit.

Net profit decreased by approximately HK$1.8 million, or approximately 68.5%, from approximately HK$2.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, to approximately HK$0.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. Such change was the result of the combination of the changes as discussed above.

Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately HK$2.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, mainly derived from changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately HK$3.2 million, partially offset by net income of approximately HK$0.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. Changes in operating assets and liabilities mainly included (i) an increase in accounts receivables of approximately HK$1.9 million, as our revenue derived from services rendered during the latter months of the covered period increased, and the related settlement payments from our clients were still pending; (ii) a decrease in amount due to related parties of approximately HK$0.9 million, as we settlement payments from our related parties in the latter months; (iii) an increase in deposits, prepayments and other receivables of approximately HK$0.8 million, due to a rise in deferred initial public offering (“IPO”) cost; partially offset by an increase in income tax payable of approximately HK0.8 million as we accrued for the tax liabilities arising from the current period of operation.

Net cash generated from financing activities was approximately HK$1.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, which included an advance from a shareholder for offering expenses related to the IPO of approximately HK$1.4 million, net of the repayment of bank borrowings of approximately HK$0.4 million.

Recent Developments

On January 23, 2025, the Company closed its IPO of 2,000,000 ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”). The Ordinary Shares were priced at $4.00 per share, and the offering was conducted on a firm commitment basis. The Ordinary Shares were approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market and commenced trading under the ticker symbol “MCTR” on January 22, 2025.

On January 24, 2025, R.F. Lafferty & Co., Inc., as the representative of the underwriters for the IPO, exercised its over-allotment option to purchase an additional 300,000 ordinary shares of the Company at the public offering price of $4.00 per share. The closing for the sale of the over-allotment shares took place on January 27, 2025.
