We are of the view that maintaining a cautious underwriting stance and healthy loan portfolio will position the Group well for the economic recovery and eventual normalization ahead. During FY2025, the average loan-to-value ratio for first mortgage was approximately 58.2%, while average overall loan-to-value ratio for subordinate mortgage was approximately 52.8%, of which, average loan-to-value ratio of subordinate mortgage that the Group participate in was approximately 15.7%.
Pawn Loan Business

The interest income of the pawn loan receivables increased by approximately 4.5% to approximately HK$76.2 million, which was mainly attributed to the increase in gold price and an active second-hand luxury market, especially for luxury watches. During FY2025, the Group continued to channel resources to advertising and promotion to enhance the Group’s brand exposure. Such effort has generated demand for one-to-one pawn loan appointment services for pawn loans exceeding HK$0.1 million.
Prospects
Looking ahead, the global economy is anticipated to continue its moderate recovery, while macroeconomic policy uncertainties are expected to persist. The Directors believe that the Hong Kong property market will experience cautious trajectory. To inject impetus into the profit growth, the Group strategically partnered with PACM Group to establish a fund which marked our entry into the real estate private credit institutional investment management sector. We will proactively explore expansion opportunities in developed markets and maintain prudent investment oversight to mitigate market risks and maximize returns for investors and shareholders.
In order to further enhance customer experience and maintain robust operational profitability, the Group will continue to review strategic shop locations and explore potential acquisition opportunities within the established pawn businesses. These initiatives aim to strengthen our market-leading position and ensure sustainable long-term growth amid evolving industry dynamics.
Mr. Edward Chan, Chairman and CEO of the Company, said, “Along with the ongoing tensions in US-China trade relations, the global economy is confronted with heightened uncertainties, exerting additional pressure on economic rebound. Consequently, the Hong Kong property market outlook remains challenging.
The Group remains steadfast in its commitment to seeking strategic breakthroughs amidst these adverse circumstances. In addition to focusing on the local market, we are proactively exploring overseas market development opportunities through our strategic partnership fund with PACM Group. We are committed to diversify our revenue streams and expand our customer base, with a dedicated effort to generate enhanced long-term value and returns for our shareholders.”
