Meanwhile, net profit also significantly increased by approximately 50.9% from approximately HK$35.8 million for 6M2023 to approximately HK$54.0 million for 6M2024. The increases in both gross profit and net profit were primarily attributable to the positive effects of better economies of scale driven by the increase in revenue from both original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) sales and web sales, as well as the continuous enhancement in operational and production efficiency. Basic earnings per share was approximately HK10.15 cents (6M2023: approximately HK6.72 cents).The board of directors has resolved to declare an interim dividend of HK3.0 cents per share for 6M2024 (6M2023: HK2.0 cents).Business ReviewDuring the Period, leveraging the consistently outstanding performance in engineering and production efficiency and quality, the Group successfully secured additional orders from its major OEM customer driven by the increasing market demand, which boosted its overall OEM sales. Meanwhile, the Group pushed forward steady business development in different product lines, which included the development of trading card game manufacturing business in the PRC. The Group’s OEM sales revenue increased by approximately 19.3% to approximately HK$438.8 million for 6M2024. (6M2023: approximately HK$367.8 million), mainly attributable to the increased demand for the Group’s tabletop game products from its major OEM customer.In respect of web sales business, the Group continued to allocate resources to online and offline marketing initiatives including digital marketing, crowdfunding and participation in overseas exhibitions.

The Group will continue to strive for steady business diversification and expansion as well as improvement in operational efficiency, thereby elevating its competitive advantage.In the OEM business, the Group intends to further explore the trading card manufacturing business in USA’s and European markets, so as to seize the opportunities in both domestic and foreign markets and maximise economies of scale. In the web sales business, the Group will attempt to embark on diverse marketing campaigns that put emphasis not only on customer acquisition but also the growth of existing customers. Furthermore, Q P Market Network (“QPMN”), an e-commerce platform under the Group, has initiated collaborations with enterprises in different regions to offer online solutions for product customisation.

Our solid operational and financial foundations position us well to capitalise on future opportunities. We will continue to adopt a proactive and prudent management approach, pursuing steady business expansion and driving improvements in operational efficiency.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 26, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - GoKardz, a new-age digital business card platform, launched its innovative solution to redefine modern networking. GoKardz, a Malaysia-based tech startup that hosted a soft launch event in Kuala Lumpur, promises to be a game-changer in how professionals manage and share their digital identities. Based on the available statistics, five million trees are cut down each year to produce business cards. And hundred billion paper business cards are printed every year, of which 88% of business cards are thrown away or lost within a week, making it is big and meaningful problem to solve. With GoKardz, users can now seamlessly connect, network, and present themselves in the most dynamic and personalized way, using a solution that is highly sustainable.Amaresh Panda, Founder of GoKardzGoKardz is not just a digital business card platform; it is a comprehensive solution for creating a distinct professional identity in the digital era, coupled with a platform-enabled services ecosystem. With GoKardz, users can seamlessly connect, network, and present themselves in the most dynamic, personalized and sustainable way. And, its platform-enabled services ecosystem is the foundation for delivering real value to business & enterprise users by offering them solutions for identity & access management, programmatic advertising & marketing solutions, job listings and an online store with exclusive GoKardz branded merchandise.Guests Downloading the GoKardz AppAmaresh Panda, the visionary founder of GoKardz, has always been passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world problems. He envisages GoKardz to be the world’s leading platform for professional digital identity, modern networking, and opportunity discovery. He says, with ‘One Card, Infinite Opportunities’ as its tag line, the company’s mission is to revolutionize professional networking by bridging gaps, fostering collaboration, and creating opportunities for professionals worldwide through simple and user-empowering technology that is sustainable. He continues to add, ‘While there are a few other similar products in the market that offer digital cards, we have made a bold attempt to take the game to a whole new level by keeping the digital business card at the centre and curating the whole digital identity and product-enabled services ecosystem around it. I am confident it will offer tremendous added value to our users, individual as well as corporates.’ When asked about, who could benefit the most by using the GoKardz solutions, Amaresh replied, ‘While any individual or business user is welcome to experience our product, we believe entrepreneurs & business owners, professionals in sales & marketing, freelancers who need to promote their products & services, event attendees and the professionals in the recruitment & talent industry stand to benefit the most out of the current features on the platform.’GoKardz, is a venture from the venture building studio of Kuber Ventures, a Singapore-based venture studio with presence across India, Malaysia & Australia. The venture-building partnership and investment from Kuber Ventures has significantly bolstered GoKardz’s time to market, innovation capabilities & growth. With this strategic support, GoKardz will be able to enhance its technology infrastructure, expand its range of features, and improve user experience, quite rapidly. The market access provided by Kuber Ventures will also enable GoKardz to accelerate its market expansion beyond Malaysian shores as the company grows its footprint, reaching a broader audience and establishing a stronger presence in the industry.Guests with Kuber Ventures TeamAccording to Alok Kumar, the visionary Partner of Kuber Ventures, GoKardz is the first product in 2024 to be launched from our venture studio and has tremendous potential for growth. With their digital & NFC-enabled cards, tracking & managing contacts for individual as well as business or enterprise users is a breeze. On top of it, the platform also offers certain curated services specially designed for businesses and an online store with GoKardz merchandise, which will be launched soon.Karunjit Kumar Dhir, the Partner at Kuber Ventures added, with attention spans getting shorter and information overload everywhere, it is time to simplify fundamental things like managing our digital identity and the way we network or keep in touch with our friends, colleagues, business partners and professional network at large. Paper business cards are often misplaced, outdated, or discarded.

Cambridge, MA, Aug 24, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today announced that it has received approval from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in Japan for a partial change application for an updated formulation of its COVID-19 mRNA vaccine Spikevax, targeting the SARS-CoV-2 variant JN.1."We appreciate the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approval decision for our updated COVID-19 mRNA vaccine," said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. "It is important that people are vaccinated with the latest updated COVID-19 vaccines that can protect against circulating strains. With COVID-19 vaccination becoming a routine inoculation similar to seasonal flu vaccines, individuals will be able to receive their updated COVID-19 vaccine alongside their flu vaccine this fall."In May 2024, a Japanese health ministry panel recommended that COVID-19 vaccines be updated to target the JN.1 family of Omicron subvariants for the 2024/2025 national immunization program (NIP). This guidance aligns with the recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) Technical Advisory Group on COVID-19 Vaccine Composition (TAG-CO-VAC) on the use of a monovalent JN.1 lineage for COVID-19 vaccine antigen composition.The NIP in Japan will offer COVID-19 vaccination to individuals aged 65 and older, as well as qualifying individuals aged 60 to 64.[1] Japan has the highest proportion of older adults worldwide, with approximately 30% of its population aged 65 and above. Given that respiratory viruses are a leading disease burden in people older than 65, NIPs are crucial in reducing the burden of disease and, ultimately, future pressure on the health system. Individuals requesting COVID-19 vaccination outside of the regular program will have the option of voluntary vaccination at their own expense.In July, Moderna entered into an agreement with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation to support the co-promotion of Moderna's mRNA respiratory vaccine portfolio in Japan, including Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine, Spikevax.About ModernaModerna is a leader in the creation of the field of mRNA medicine.
