Impressive box office receipts of the movie Us and Them contributed to the Group's improved results for the first half year. Gross profit of the Group also increased to HK$14,914,000.
During the Review Period, loss attributable to owners of the Company amounted to HK$111,608,000 (same period last year: HK$35,510,000).
