During the ReviewFinancial Year, Hong Kong economy continued to face grave challenges. At thebeginning of 2022, a COVID-19 variant, Omicron, broke out in Hong Kong,leading to the fifth outbreak. To contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, strictanti-pandemic measures were implemented in the city, including vaccine pass,compulsory quarantine measures and extension of the border lockdown, whichadversely affected various industries, such as tourism and retail. At the start of2023, the global COVID-19 pandemic was gradually under control. In light ofwhich, Hong Kong economy and retail market also entered the phase of recovery.In February 2023, Hong Kong reopened its border, allowing tourists from otherregions to visit as in the past. As a result, the number of tourists increased, andretail business in turn showed signs of improvement. The Group recorded asignificant year-on-year increase of 44.1% in revenue during the fourth quarter(January to March 2023). However, the positive effects brought by the reopeningof the border was inadequate to recover the decrease in revenue of 17.1% recordedduring the first three quarters of the Review Financial Year. Furthermore, theGroup has fewer stores as we closed down those with unsatisfactory performancelast year. As a result, the revenue of the Group decreased by 5.4% for the yearended 31st March, 2023.
