Recent Development

About Alpha Technology Group Ltd

Techlution Service Limited (“TSL”) was incorporated in accordance with laws and regulations of Hong Kong on November 28, 2017. It is engaged in providing IT development and consulting service to customers.

Neural Sense Limited (“NSL”) was incorporated in accordance with laws and regulations of Hong Kong on October 16, 2019. It is also engaged in providing IT development and consulting service to customers.

Alpha Technology Group (HK) Limited (formerly known as RadiNation Technology Limited) (“Alpha HK”) incorporated in accordance with laws and regulations of Hong Kong on September 14, 2022. Alpha HK has not commenced its operations.

Alpha Technology Group Limited (“Alpha”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on October 5, 2022 as an exempted company. Alpha has not commenced its operations.

On October 12, 2022, Alpha acquired 100% of equity interest in NSL and TSL from the former shareholders. NSL and TSL became Alpha’s wholly owned subsidiaries. Alpha as investing holding company conducts its primary operations through its two wholly owned subsidiaries after the acquisition. Alpha and its subsidiaries, NSL and TSL, are collectively referred to as the “Predecessor and Successor” and “Operating Subsidiaries”. Although, after the acquisition, NSL and TSL became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Alpha.

The subsidiaries of Alpha were under the control of different ultimate owners immediately following their acquisition by Alpha. Although, after the acquisition, NSL and TSL became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Alpha, the two acquired companies did not operate under common control as their ultimate owners had been different. As these transactions between entities are not under common control as it is different ultimate owner of the Company after acquisition, the Company has reported the results of combined operations for the period in a manner similar to the acquisition method and has consolidated financial results from the date of the initial acquisition of the aforementioned companies. Assets and liabilities were consolidated at their carrying values, and goodwill arising from this acquisition was attributable to the expected synergies from the operation of NSL and TSL.

On December 19, 2023, Alpha acquired 100% of equity interest in Alpha HK from Fuchsia Capital Limited. Alpha HK became Alpha’s wholly owned subsidiary. Alpha HK has not commenced its operations.

Initial public offering

On November 2, 2023, Alpha announced its closing of the initial public offering of 1,750,000 Ordinary Shares at an offering price of US$4 per Ordinary Share. Alpha raised a total gross proceeds of approximately US$7,000,000. In addition, the Company granted to its underwriters an option for a period of 45 days after closing of the initial public offering to purchase up to an additional 262,500 Ordinary Shares at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts. On November 21, 2023, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 262,500 Ordinary Shares at the public offering price of $4.00 per share. As a result, Alpha further raised gross proceeds of approximately US$1,050,000, in addition to the previously discussed gross proceeds of approximately US$7,000,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. After deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses, the Company received a total net proceeds of approximately US$5,323,693.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME (LOSS) AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023

(UNAUDITED) 

Foreign currency translation and transaction and convenience translation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in the Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”), which is the reporting currency of the Company. HK$ is also the functional currency.

Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the reporting currency are translated into the reporting currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as other comprehensive income or loss. Transactions in currencies other than the reporting currency are measured and recorded in the reporting currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. The cumulative gain or loss from foreign currency transactions is reflected in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income(loss).

The value of foreign currencies including the US Dollar may fluctuate against the HK$. Any significant variations of the foreign currencies relative to the HK$ may materially affect the Company’s financial conditions in terms of reporting in HK$.

Revenues

The following table set forth the breakdown of our revenue by services types for the years indicated:

We generated HK$6,023,005 (approximately US$769,625) in revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of HK$480,399 (approximately US$61,386) or 8.67%, as compared with HK$5,542,606 for the six months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to (i) increase in revenue generated from system development resulting from the engagement of system development projects from the new customers; and (ii) the increase in revenue generated from web and mobile application development for completion of an application for a customer, which were partially offset by the decrease in revenue for the provision of NFT-related services during the six months ended March 31, 2024.

Cost of revenue and gross profit margin

The following table set forth the breakdown of our cost of revenue for the years indicated:

Cost of revenue decreased by HK$298,661 (approximately US$38,163) or 8.41%, from HK$3,552,466 for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to HK$3,253,805 for the six months ended March 31, 2024. Such decrease was mainly driven by (i) the decrease in management fee for procuring the ad-hoc technical support services and human resources from two related companies to execute the system development projects, thereby decreasing the costs; and (ii) the decrease in consultancy fee mainly due to the decrease in procurement of cloud architecture services from suppliers since certain programme, procedures and steps established in previous similar projects had been used in the projects for current period. Such decrease was partially offset by the increase in staff costs due to the increase in involvement of our staff for our projects.

Gross profit margin was 45.98% and 35.91% for the six months ended 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The gross profit margin was improved mainly due to (i) the decrease in management fee as discussed in above; (ii) the decrease in consultancy fee as discussed in above; and (iii) the increase in provision for application projects which entailed high gross profit margin.

General and Administrative Expenses

The following table sets forth the breakdown of our selling, general and administrative expenses for the periods indicated:

The general and administrative expenses increased from HK$1,985,830 for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to $6,963,192 (approximately US$889,762) for the six months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of HK$4,977,362 (approximately US$636,011) or 250.64%. Such increase was mainly due to the increases in staff costs, director’s remuneration of our Operating Subsidiaries and our Company, entertainment expenses, advertisement fees and others.

The increase in staff costs was mainly due to the increase in number of staff to support the operation and business growth.

The increase in the director’s remuneration of our Operating Subsidiaries and our Company was mainly attributable to the increase in the remuneration of independent non-executive directors of our Company after the listing on Nasdaq.

The increase in the entertainment expenses was mainly due to the increase in activities for maintaining good relationship with the existing client and exploring new potential customers.

The increase in the advertisement fees was primarily due to carrying out more advertising activities to attract new potential customers.

Listing expenses

The listing expenses decreased from HK$2,373,596 for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to HK$1,051,816 (approximately US$134,401) for the six months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of HK$1,321,780 (approximately US$168,898) or 55.69%. The decrease was primarily attributable to the completion of the Listing in November 2023.

Other income

The other income increased from HK$85,006 for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to HK$265,504 (approximately US$33,926) for the six months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of HK$180,498 (approximately US$23,064) or 212.34%. Such increase was mainly attributable to (i) the reversal of the bad debt provision as a result of the settlement of the trade receivables previously impaired; and (ii) the increase in bank interest income resulting from the increase in cash and cash equivalents after obtaining the Listing proceeds.

Income Tax

We incurred no income tax expense for the six months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of HK$75,800 or 100.0%, as compared to $75,800 for the six months ended March 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, our deferred offering costs were nil and HK$18,758,367, respectively. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the derecognition of the deferred offering costs against with the equity upon the completion of the listing on Nasdaq.
