SEALAND CAPITAL GALAXY LIMITED
("Sealand", or the "Company", or "the Group")
UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
Sealand Capital Galaxy Limited (LSE: SCGL) announces that it has published its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2024 with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group").
Nelson Law, Executive Chairman of the Company commented:
"Moving forward, we will leverage our strengths to enhance sales across the full spectrum of channels, both online and offline, within our authorized sales capacity.
"Collaboration with local retail partners has proven beneficial. The brand owner continues to support our efforts, having renewed our sole distributorship for another three years with a modest increase in distributor pricing. They are also providing assistance in designing product sales bundles. Additionally, we plan to launch workshops this year to educate customers on our products, which we believe will enhance sales and improve profit margins, benefiting from the renewed distributor agreement.
"We are actively pursuing more retail agreements to broaden our sales reach. Furthermore, we will explore opportunities to negotiate new brand partnerships to expand our product categories."
He concluded:
"The impact of the pandemic continues to be felt, exacerbated by rising interest rates and escalating raw material costs. This challenging environment affects not only our group but the broader economy in which we operate. Many retailers in our region have struggled, with increased operating expenses leading to closures. In response, our group has implemented various support measures for our business partners, including a new partnership program with revised suggested retail pricing. Additionally, based on our renewed agreement with the brand owner, we are extending accounts receivable aging periods to help our retail partners improve their sales margins and navigate these tough conditions."

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Sealand Capital Galaxy Limited is a company acting as a special purpose acquisition company. The Group is engaged in e-commerce, mobile payment and other IT related business. Today it announces its results for the six months ended 30 June 2024.
Business Review
Our recent focus on e-business in China has not yielded satisfactory profit results. Moving forward, we will leverage our strengths to enhance sales across the full spectrum of channels, both online and offline, within our authorized sales capacity.
Collaboration with local retail partners has proven beneficial. The brand owner continues to support our efforts, having renewed our sole distributorship for another three years with a modest increase in distributor pricing. They are also providing assistance in designing product sales bundles. Additionally, we plan to launch workshops this year to educate customers on our products, which we believe will enhance sales and improve profit margins, benefiting from the renewed distributor agreement.
We are actively pursuing more retail agreements to broaden our sales reach. Furthermore, we will explore opportunities to negotiate new brand partnerships to expand our product categories.
Financial Review
During the six months ended 30 June 2024, the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was £163,890 (2023: £203,951), and the revenue for the period was £71,631 (2023: £61,198).
Prospects
The impact of the pandemic continues to be felt, exacerbated by rising interest rates and escalating raw material costs. This challenging environment affects not only our group but the broader economy in which we operate. Many retailers in our region have struggled, with increased operating expenses leading to closures. In response, our group has implemented various support measures for our business partners, including a new partnership program with revised suggested retail pricing. Additionally, based on our renewed agreement with the brand owner, we are extending accounts receivable aging periods to help our retail partners improve their sales margins and navigate these tough conditions.
As a publicly listed company, we are committed to delivering optimal returns for our shareholders. We continuously seek new business opportunities within China and across Asia. We aim to leverage the potential of the China "Belt and Road" initiative and explore new ventures in the ASEAN region, capitalizing on our headquarters in Hong Kong.
Looking ahead, we anticipate that 2025 may pose significant challenges for businesses overall. While there are indications of a potential reduction in interest rates, which could improve the business environment, it is prudent not to rely solely on uncertain large-scale policies. Our group will continue to capitalize on its strategic location within ASEAN to drive growth and resilience.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Going Concern
As at 30 June 2024, the Group has cash and cash equivalent balances of £8,108 and net current liabilities and net liabilities of £1,427,781.
The directors' cash-flow projections for the forthcoming 12 months conclude there will be a need for additional cash resources. The directors are in discussions with some parties that may raise further equity and/or loans. There is no certainty that any such funds will be forthcoming or the price and other terms will be acceptable.
Directors
The following directors served during the six months ended 30 June 2024:
Mr Chung Lam Nelson Law | (Chairman and Chief Financial Officer) |
Mr Geoffrey John Griggs | (Non-executive Director) |

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Board regularly monitors exposure to risks and uncertainties that it considers key as set out below.
The group faces risks associated with integrating and assimilating acquired businesses. Difficulties may arise due to cultural differences, operational complexities, and organizational alignment, which could impact the performance and profitability of acquired entities.
International Interest Rates and Inflation
The international landscape has indicated a potential reduction in interest rates, influenced by the upcoming U.S. election results in November. Given the unpredictability associated with human factors in this election, forecasting remains challenging. The Hong Kong Dollar's peg to the U.S. Dollar, as dictated by the currency policy in our special economic zone, will significantly impact our operations.
Currency Fluctuations
The U.S. Dollar is the predominant global currency, and its fluctuations will have substantial repercussions on our procurement of goods from Europe and the products we sell in Asia.
As a publicly listed company, we recognize the importance of continuously monitoring the operating environment. Our group is committed to striving for improved results in the upcoming fiscal year.
Financial Risks
The Group financial risks including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk are carefully monitored by the Board.
