The Cosmopolitan group has conducted communications with the local government authorities in recent months and it has since become apparent that the municipality government is not prepared to process the requisite inspection of the re -forested area in the near future, despite the fact that the Cosmopolitan group had re-forested and maintained the project site for more than a decade. Having regard to other more compelling needs for the use of the Cosmopolitan g roup’s available financial resources and the increasing uncertainties encroaching on its ability to secure its contractual rights under the re-forestation and land grant contract, the Cosmopolitan group determined to suspend the work for the maintenance of the re-forested area in April 2026, until there is some positive development on the site inspection by the local municipality government. As the suspension of the maintenance work could potentially cause adverse impact on the Cosmopolitan group’s contractual rights under the re -forestation and land grant contract, the Cosmopolitan group has fully impaired the capitali sed prepayment costs associated with this project in its financial results for the half year ended 30th June, 2026 due to the recent changes in the circumstances affecting the project. The Cosmopolitan g roup will continue its regular contact with the relevant government officials and will consider resuming the re -forestation maintenance work as and when the

In the meantime, the Cosmopolitan group is exploring other options to divest the project or to introduce strategic investors to co - develop the project. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND OTHER INVESTMENTS The Group holds a significant portfolio of investments comprising listed securities and other investments, including investment funds, private equities, bonds as well as treasury and yield enhancement products. FINANCIAL REVIEW ASSETS VALUE All the hotel properties of the Group in Hong Kong owned by Regal REIT, with the exception of the iclub Sheung Wan Hotel, the iclub Fortress Hill Hotel and the iclub To Kwa Wan Hotel, were stated in the financial statements at their fair values as at 7th May, 2012 when Regal, together with Regal REIT, became subsidiaries of the Group, plus subsequent capital additions and deducting accumulated depreciation. Moreover, the iclub Sheung Wan Hotel , the iclub Fortress Hill Hotel and the iclub To Kwa Wan Hotel were stated in the Group’s financial statements at cost after full elimination of the unrealised gain arising from the disposal of the hotels by P&R to Regal REIT, while the iclub Mong Kok Hotel owned by P&R and the Regala Skycity Hotel owned by the Regal group, completed in 2019 and 2021 respectively, are stated at cost, and they are all also subject to depreciation. For the purpose of providing supplementary information, if the entire hotel property portfolio of the Group in Hong Kong is restated in the condensed consolidated financial statements at market value as at 30th June, 2026, the Group’s unaudited adjusted net asset and the unaudited adjusted net asset value per ordinary share of the Company would be HK$8,346.0 million and HK$2.70 per share, respectively, computed as follows:

Cash balances are mostly placed on bank deposits , and treasury and yield enhancement products are deployed when circumstances are considered to be appropriate. Property development projects in Hong Kong are financed partly by internal resources and partly by bank financing. Project financing in Hong Kong is normally arranged in local currency to cover a part of the land cost and a major portion or the entire amount of the construction cost, with interest calculated by reference to the interbank offered rates and the loan maturity tied in to the estimated project completion date. Property development projects in the PRC are substantially financed by internal resources and proceeds from the presale of the units. Project financings for the projects in the PRC and overseas may be arranged, if terms are considered appropriate, to cover a part of the land costs and/or construction costs, and with the loan maturities aligning with the estimated project completion dates and/or sales forecast. The Group’s banking facilities are mostly denominated in Hong Kong dollar s with interest primarily determined by reference to the interbank offered rates . The use of hedging instruments for interest rate purposes to cater to business and operational needs is kept under review by the Group’s management from time to time. As regards the Group’s investments in the PRC and overseas, which are denominated in currencies other than US dollar s and Hong Kong dollars, the Group may consider, when deemed appropriate, hedging part or all of the

– 29 – Notes: 1. Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31st December, 2025, excep t for the adoption of the following amended HKFRS Accounting Standards, for the first time for the current period’s financial statements. Amendments to HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 7 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments Amendments to HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 7 Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity Annual Improvements to HKFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11 Amendments to HKFRS 1, HKFRS 7, HKFRS 9, HKFRS 10 and HKAS 7 The nature and impact of the amended HKFRS Accounting Standards are described below: (a) Amendments to HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 7 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments clarify that a financial asset is derecognised when the entity’s rights to the contractual cash flows expire or are transferred, while a financial liability is derecognised on the settlement date. The amendments introduce an accounting policy option to derecognise a financial liability that is settled through an electronic payment system before the settlement date if specified criteria are met. The amendments clarify how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with environmental, social and governance and other similar contingent features. Moreover, the amendments clarify the requirements for classifying financial assets with non -recourse features and contractually linked instruments. The amendments also include additional disclosures for investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and
Page 30
– 30 – financial instruments with contingent features. Prior to the initial application of the amendments, the Group derecognised payables that were settled by cheques upon the issuance of cheques to creditors. Upon applying the amendments, payables that were settled by cheques are derecognised on the settlement date which is the date when the cheques are cleared by banks. The change in accounting policy did not have a material impact on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The change in accounting policy will be reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31st December, 2026. (b) Amendments to HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 7 Contracts Referencing Nature -dependent Electricity clarify the application of the “own -use” requirements for in -scope contracts and amend the designation requirements for a hedged item in a cash flow hedging relationship for in-scope contracts. The amendments also include additional disclosures that enabl e users of financial statements to understand the effects these contracts have on an entity’s financial performance and future cash flows. As the Group did not have any con tracts that are in the scope of the amendments, the amendments did not have any impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. (c) Annual Improvements to HKFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11 set out narrow scope amendments to HKFRS 1, HKFRS 7 (and the accompanying Guidance on implementing HKFRS 7 ), HKFRS 9, HKFRS 10 and HKAS 7. The amendments include clarifications, simplifications, corrections or changes to improve consistency in the corresponding HKFRS Accounting Standards. The amendments did not have any impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Group had a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of HK$ 135.5 million (2025 – HK$382.7 million) for the period ended 30th June, 2026 and net current liabilities of HK$ 2,711.9 million ( 31st December, 2025 – HK$516.5 million) and net assets of HK$12,074.2 million (31st December, 2025 – HK$12,115.0 million) as at 30th June, 2026. In addition, the Group had total non -pledged time deposits, cash and bank balances of HK$610.2 million (31st December, 2025 – HK$420.3 million) as at 30th June, 2026 and positive net cash flows from operating activities of HK$ 533.8 million (2025 – HK$162.5 million) for the period ended 30th June, 2026.
Page 31
– 31 – The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the assumption that the Group is operating as a going concern, as the Directors are of the view that the Group will have sufficient working capital to finance its operations in the next twelve months from 30th June, 2026, after taking into consideration the following: (i) the estimated cash flows of the Group for the next twelve months from the end of the reporting period; (ii) the contracted sales of property assets of the Group up to the current date; (iii) the plan for disposal of certain non-core assets of the Group; (iv) the plan for the sales of the property assets which are readily available for sale, including the office units and other components of the development projects in Chengdu and Tianjin; (v) the refinancing plan for certain maturing interest bearing bank borrowings that are secured by certain properties; and (vi) the available unutilised financial facilities of the Group. 2. Operating Segment Information For management purposes, t he Group is organised into business units based on their products and services and has six reportable operating segments as follows: (a) the property development and investment segment comprises the development and sale of properties, the leasing of properties and the provision of estate agency services; (b) the construction and building related businesses segment engages in construction works and building related businesses, including the provision of development consultancy, project management and construction engineering services, property management and also security systems and products and other software development and distribution;
Page 32
– 32 – (c) the hotel operation and management and hotel ownership segment engages in hotel operations and the provision of hotel management services , and the ownership in hotel properties for rental income; (d) the asset management segment engages in the provision of asset management services to Regal REIT; (e) the financial assets investments segment engages in trading of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and other financial assets investments; and (f) the others segment mainly comprises the provision of financing services, provision of securities brokerage services, sale of food products, operation and management of restaurants, the provision of housekeeping and related services, and the aircraft ownership and leasing. Management monitors the results of the Group’s operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit/(loss), which is a measure of adjusted profit/(loss) before tax. The adjusted profit/(loss) before tax is measured consistently with the Group’s loss before tax except that certain interest income, non-lease-related finance costs, head office and corporate gains and expenses are excluded from such measurement. Intersegment sales and transfers are transacted with reference to the selling prices used for sales made to third parties at the then prevailing market prices.

– 37 – The provision for Hong Kong profits tax has been calculated by applying the applicable tax rate of 16.5% (2025 – 16.5%) to the estimated assessable profits which were earned in or derived from Hong Kong during the period. Taxes on the profits of subsidiaries operating in the PRC and overseas are calculated at the rates prevailing in the respective jurisdictions in which they operate. The PRC land appreciation tax is levied on the sale or transfer of state -owned land use rights, buildings and their attached facilities in Chinese Mainland at progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% of the appreciation value, with an exemption provided for the sale of ordinary residential properties if their appreciation values do not exceed 20% of the sum of the total deductible items. No provision for tax is required for the associates as no assessable profits were earned by the associates during the period (2025 – Nil). 7. Dividend: No dividend was paid or proposed during the six months ended 30th June, 2026, nor has any dividend been proposed since the end of the reporting period (2025 – Nil). 8. The calculation of the basic loss per ordinary share for the period ended 30th June, 2026 is based on the loss for the period attributable to equity holders of the parent of HK$ 135.5 million (2025 – HK$382.7 million), adjusted for the share of accrued distribution related to perpetual securities of the Regal group of HK$ 24.4 million (2025 – HK$24.6 million), and on 3, 092.6 million (20 25 – 3,092.6 million) ordinary shares of the Company outstanding during the period. No adjustment was made to the basic loss per ordinary share for the periods ended 30th June, 202 6 and 202 5 as the Company had no potentially dilutive ordinary shares outstanding and therefore no diluting events existed throughout the periods.
