The Board has resolved to pay an interim dividend of HK2.38 cents per share.Dr Mak Kin Wah, Chairman of Analogue Holdings Limited, said, “It is a great privilege for me to present the Interim Report for the first time as Chairman of the Company. During the Period, we continuously enhanced our core businesses as a market leader in the E&M engineering and technology services markets, advancing our diverse business portfolio which includes Building Services, Environmental Engineering, Information, Communications and Building Technologies (‘ICBT’), and Lifts and Escalator services. Not only have we continued to invest in research and development (‘R&D’) to develop innovative construction technologies to assure quality, safety and efficiency, and advanced digital, and green and environmental technologies to position us in the growth segments, meet customer needs and create value for the community, we have also broadened our Lifts and Escalators business to include the UK and the United States (‘US’) as well as explored opportunities in other new markets. The results of these efforts are maintaining our industry leadership, helping to navigate the challenges and capture the opportunities in the current business environment, and facilitating our ongoing growth.”Revenue from the Building Services segment grew by 20.8% to HK$2,111 million during the Period, while its contracts-in-hand amounted to HK$5,585 million as at 30 June 2024. The recurring maintenance revenue stream was up by 11.3% to HK$205 million, and was further augmented by new maintenance contracts of HK$125 million secured from infrastructure operations, data centres and housing programmes during the Period. The Group has maintained its leadership in the building services sector, with a substantial market share and solid reputation among prestigious customers. With the recent achievement of significant new projects to provide E&M services, including a Grade A office building in Caroline Hill Road, Causeway Bay, with one of the highest levels of innovative Multi-trade Integrated Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (“MiMEP”) construction technologies for a commercial building, as well as a number of large-scale projects in Macau, the Group currently has large and sustainable contracts-in-hands. The Group will continue to invest in technologies such as Building Information Modelling (“BIM”) and MiMEP to enhance quality, safety, and productivity, including adding a new MiMEP facility in Mainland China to augment our established MiMEP facility in Hong Kong.Revenue from the Environmental Engineering segment amounted to HK$621 million. As at 30 June 2024, the segment had contracts-in-hand of HK$4,514 million, including eight new contracts or significant variation orders, demonstrating the Group’s expertise in delivering quality project management services for varied environmental infrastructure. During the Period, the Group was awarded several notable projects, including barrage and nullah improvement works in Yuen Long and a new landfill leachate treatment plant in Nim Wan, Tuen Mun. In addition to technologies for climate solutions, clean water, and waste and sewage treatment including AI-enabled Digital Twin, the Group also adopted innovative approaches to the strengthening protection, and operation and maintenance of environmental infrastructure to extend its life cycle and ensure that it provides excellent service to Hong Kong. In overseas markets, the Group participated in tenders including water treatment works with a capacity of more than 250 million liters per day in Teresa and Pasig in the Philippines, and a sewerage project in Dubai.ICBT recorded segment revenue of HK$295 million during the Period and had contracts-in-hand amounting to HK$938 million as at 30 June 2024. The Group’s cutting-edge CCTV systems with artificial intelligence (“AI”) video analytics have been adopted by the largest lifestyle shopping mall in the Southern District of Hong Kong Island to enhance security and optimise operations. Beyond the commercial sector, the Group has secured a contract to supply and install the Extra Low Voltage and Building Management Systems for a residential development project located in Tseung Kwun O, the largest residential development above the MTR station in the district. Well positioned for the opportunities arising from driving Hong Kong’s transformation into a “Smart City” and “Smart Economy”, the segment’s green and intelligent building solutions integrate a wide range of information and communications technologies, including AI-enabled Digital Twin, energy management technologies, renewable energy, ESG dashboards, Indoor Environment Quality Management, robotic solutions, and Smart Lampposts. Its solutions and services cover all industries and market segments in both the public and private sectors, including but not limited to data centres, healthcare, and infrastructure in Hong Kong.Revenue from the Lifts and Escalators segment increased by 49.4% year-on-year to HK$239 million, with contracts-in-hand increasing by 13.8% to HK$667 million as at 30 June 2024. Anlev Elevator Group (“Anlev”), the Group’s global brand of lifts, escalators and moving walkways, serves millions of users in Asia, America and Europe. As part of the Group’s growth strategies, Anlev has been making progress expanding its business in the UK and the US. Its success in securing overseas projects in the UK has contributed to the segment’s high revenue. In Hong Kong, maintenance contracts for both commercial and government buildings were major profit contributors during the Period. While Anlev’s performance in terms of both safety and service quality is well recognised by customers, Anlev is building critical mass to enhance the efficiency of production and has been continuously developing its products to meet customer needs and stay ahead of the competition.In July 2024, the Group unveiled the ATAL Tower, its new headquarters in Kwai Chung. Operation units from different offices are moving in by phases to be consolidated under one roof in this building, which will be fully operational by the third quarter of 2024. “This marks a new era and a significant milestone in the Group’s development. ATAL Tower boasts superior infrastructure that will enable us to better serve customers and partners while also providing a pleasant work environment to enhance our productivity and collaboration,” added Dr Mak.The Group remains cautiously optimistic about the business outlook, given the strong contracts-in-hand, its leadership position in growth segments, and its strong tendering pipeline. Its continuous success in securing new business opportunities and winning contracts augers well for remaining competitive in the industry and growing its revenue, customer base and market reach. The Hong Kong SAR Government’s planned annual capital works expenditure of about HK$90 billion presents significant opportunities for the Group. Overall, the Group sees potential in healthcare, infrastructure, housing, data centres, smart technologies, advanced food waste treatment technology, and retrofitting of existing buildings to contribute to sustainable urban development. The Group’s investment in BIM, Modular Integrated Construction (MiC), MiMEP, robotic solutions and other advanced construction technologies will strengthen its competitiveness and allow it to capture emerging business opportunities. The Group has healthy liquidity, low debt levels and strong recurring operating cash flows, which assures its financial flexibility to take on new projects in its tendering pipeline as well as to capture the opportunities arising in the current market condition, to optimise the long-term future of the business. The Group will continue to explore suitable synergistic business opportunities, including expansion into East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other areas.Dr Mak concluded, “What Analogue has achieved would not have been possible without our dedicated and capable staff. Attracting and retaining talents remains one of our top priorities. We are committed to providing our employees with comprehensive training to support their development, and to cultivating a corporate culture that values professionalism and craftsmanship. As a market leader, we take pride in being able to provide a comprehensive suite of quality services, not only for the benefit of our customers, employees and shareholders, but also to contribute to the betterment of society in Hong Kong and around the world.”For further details of the 2024 Interim Results, please refer to the announcement filed with The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.– END –About Analogue Holdings LimitedEstablished in 1977, Analogue Holdings Limited is a leading electrical and mechanical (“E&M”) engineering and technology service provider, with headquarters in Hong Kong and operations in Macau, Mainland China, the United States and the United Kingdom.

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.

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. For companies, paper cards mean lost control over sharing, no analytics to measure effectiveness, and the inability to update contacts in real-time, limiting their use for marketing and brand consistency. We are excited to witness the growth and engagement of early adopters on the platform, and the fact that GoKardz team has already started onboarding paying customers gives us high confidence about this latest venture from our studio this year. I am excited to start using the GoKardz mobile app and my personalised NFC-enabled card powered by GoKardz and the fact that I will never have to worry about printing or managing my paper business cards ever again.Showcasing GoKardz NFC Card and MerchandiseAbout GoKardz  GoKardz is a digital business card platform dedicated to redefining professional networking.
