    The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosure required in the annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020.

No analysis of the Group's revenue and contribution to operating profit for the period set out by principal activities and geographical markets is provided as the Group has only one single business segment, investment holding and all the consolidated revenue and the consolidated results of the Group are attributable to the markets in Hong Kong.
