For the three months ended 31 March 2021, the Group's revenue from continuing operations decreased by 11% to HK$218 million (2020: HK$243 million) year-on-year. Gross profit from continuing operations increased by 1% to HK$108 million (2020: HK$107 million), while gross margin from continuing operations increased by 6% points to 50% (2020: 44%). As of 31 March 2021, the Group's inventory turnover days was 128 days (2020: 155 days). The Group had net cash balance of HK$448 million (2020: HK$173 million).

The prolonged outbreak of the COVID-19 continued to disrupt a wide range of economic activities, consumer behavior and business environment globally. As the adverse impact persisted throughout the first quarter of 2021, our top line performance fell short of our expectations. Nevertheless, we have been working towards a positive turnaround of our business with focus on improving operational efficiencies and hence we are witnessing improvements in certain financial metrics. Furthermore, we are preparing for a major brand revamp with redefined image, product segmentation and pricing, accompanied with the adoption of the right online and offline distribution channels. We believe all of these collectively would equip us with a solid foundation for our future expansion and tap into market opportunities in the mid- to long-term.

The Business Performance for the 2020/21 Third Quarter contained in this announcement represents preliminary statistics and a preliminary assessment based on the management accounts of the Group and such information has not been audited or reviewed by the Company's auditor.

Shareholders of the Company and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.
