Gross profit fell 70% yr/yr, with basic loss per share at HK1.76 cents
Loss attributable to owners was HK$9.7 mln, compared to profit in prior period

Outlook
Congyu Intelligent Agricultural estimates HK$32.9 mln net proceeds from conditional Placing 2, allocating HK$30.0 mln to debt repayment
Group expects to use remaining HK$9.0 mln of prior placing proceeds for debt repayment and HK$7.2 mln for working capital by 31 Dec 2026

Result Drivers
CONSTRAINED TRADING ACTIVITY - Revenue fell 55.2% to HK$253.4 mln as constrained bank financing and a selective approach reduced bulk-commodities transaction volumes
 
LOWER IMPAIRMENT REVERSALS - Net receivables impairment reversals fell HK$9.2 mln, as a HK$41.1 mln trade-receivables reversal was partly offset by new impairments
 
HIGHER BORROWING COSTS - Finance costs nearly tripled to HK$9.7 mln due mainly to accrued interest on certain bank and other borrowings
STAFF-COST SAVINGS - Administrative and other expenses fell 34.3% to HK$12.9 mln, mainly reflecting staff costs declining to HK$4.2 mln from HK$10.4 mln
