管理層的 財務狀況和經營成果的討論與分析
概述
羅馬綠色金融有限公司是一家根據開曼群島法律註冊的豁免公司。作爲一家沒有實質性直接業務的控股公司,我們通過在香港和新加坡的運營子公司,作爲環保、社會和治理(ESG)、可持續性及氣候變化相關諮詢服務的專業專家開展業務。我們成立於2018年,並開始提供核心的可持續發展項目開發和ESG報告服務,使企業能夠展示其遵守適用規則和法規的情況。我們受到幫助企業提升ESG表現的熱情驅動,認爲這是業務可持續性的推動因素。我們旨在與客戶一起走過可持續性之旅,在旅程的每一個階段爲他們提供全面的壓力位支持,從可持續發展項目開發到ESG報告、氣候變化戰略和解決方案、環保審計,以及其他許多服務。
我們 與客戶密切合作,幫助他們理解、識別、管理並克服因與ESG、可持續性和氣候變化相關的各種業務問題。我們提供量身定製的可持續解決方案,以滿足企業的具體 需求。
我們 從每個提供服務的客戶那裏收取顧問費用。我們的營業收入具有韌性,因爲我們爲來自多個行業的170多位客戶提供服務。
截至2024年和2023年3月31日,我們的淨營業收入分別爲港幣990萬元和港幣1360萬元,與去年相比減少了約27.4%。
截至2024年9月30日和2023年9月30日的六個月期間,我們的淨營業收入分別爲320萬港元和510萬港元,較可比期間下降了約37.6%。

營業收入
如以下表所示,在截至2024年9月30日和2023年9月30日的六個月內,我們的營業收入來源於提供ESG、可持續發展和氣候變化相關的諮詢服務:

總計 | $ | 3,170 | 100.0 | % | $ | 5,078 | 100.0 | % |
我們的 總營業收入在截至2024年9月30日的六個月內減少了約191萬港幣,減少幅度爲37.6%,降至約317萬港幣,而截至2023年9月30日的六個月內爲約508萬港幣。這一下降主要是由於重複客戶減少了約220萬港幣,但新客戶增加約20萬港幣進行了部分抵消。我們的ESG合規和可持續性相關諮詢服務合同通常在下半年完成,並在服務完成時確認營業收入,因此截至2024年9月30日,合同負債顯著增加。
截至2024年和2023年9月30日的六個月期間,營業收入來自位於香港和新加坡的客戶。
營業收入 按地區劃分
截至2024年和2023年9月30日的六個月期間,我們的ESG、可持續發展和氣候變化相關諮詢服務的客戶主要位於香港。以下表格顯示了截至2024年和2023年9月30日的我們營業收入按客戶地理位置的細分:

總計 | $ | 3,170 | 100 | % | $ | 5,078 | 100 | % |
截至2024年9月30日的六個月期間,來自新加坡的營業收入有所增加。集團已投入更多資源以擴大新加坡市場,以增加現有的市場份額,包括招聘更多經驗豐富和專業的員工,併爲我們在新加坡辦公室的員工提供相關培訓,使他們能夠獲得新客戶並推動增長。 而由於與合規和可持續性相關的顧問服務合同通常在年份的下半年完成,因此來自香港的營業收入有所減少。這些收入將在服務完成時確認,因此截至2024年9月30日,合同負債顯著增加。
收入成本
截至2024年9月30日和2023年9月30日的六個月期間,我集團的收入成本主要由直接人工成本構成。截止2024年9月30日和2023年9月30日的六個月期間,我們的收入成本分別約爲300萬港元和350萬港元。

毛利潤和毛利潤率
我們的 截至2024年9月30日和2023年9月30日的六個月,總毛利約爲20萬港元和150萬港元, 分別地。截至2024年9月30日的六個月中,我們的總毛利率約爲5.7%和30.3%, 分別是 2023 年。在截至2024年9月30日的六個月中,由於毛利下降,我們的總毛利有所下降 截至2024年9月30日的六個月中,部分客戶在ESG合規和可持續發展方面的收入 相關的諮詢服務合同預計將在2025財政年度的下半年完成,而且將 在服務完成後被確認爲收入,因此截至9月,合同負債大幅增加 2024 年 30 日。自收入成本影響以來,截至2024年9月30日的六個月中,我們的毛利率大幅下降 主要是工作人員的工資和其他相關費用,相對固定,因此收入的減少導致 毛利率下降。
銷售 和市場費
截至2024年9月30日和2023年9月30日的六個月,我們的銷售和市場費用分別約爲950萬港元和30萬港元。
截至2024年9月30日的六個月,銷售和營銷費用增加約爲920萬港元,相比於截至2023年9月30日的六個月的相應期間,主要是由於爲了加強客戶關係和探索機會以多樣化產品或服務提供而增加了與業務發展相關的營銷服務。

During the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, other than the loss allowance provision discussed above, no impairment loss was provided for amounts that were past due.
Accounts payable
Accounts payable represents amount due from a vendor for services provided in prior periods.
Material Cash Requirements
Our cash requirements consist primarily of day-to-day operating expenses and capital expenditures which we expect to fund from cash generated from operations. We have limited credit available for our cost of revenue and were required to prepay for the major vendors to our marketing advisory service and other related service for expansion of our business.
We believe that we have sufficient working capital for our requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this interim report, absent unforeseen circumstances, taking into account the financial resources presently available to us, including cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flows from our operations and the IPO proceeds as well as the follow-on proceeds from the offering of the Company’s equity securities over the period from September 23, 2024 to September 25, 2024.
Capital commitments
The Company offered in a best efforts self-underwritten follow-on public offering of up to 3,600,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares of US$0.001 par value per share directly to selected investors at a fixed offering price of US$0.351 per ordinary share for total gross proceeds of US$1,263,600. The proceeds of the public offering were received over the period from September 23, 2024 to September 25, 2024, and 3,600,000 ordinary shares were subsequently issued to investors on October 11, 2024.
As of September 30, 2024, saved for above, we did not have any capital commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
As of September 30, 2024, we have not entered into any material off-balance sheet transactions or arrangements.
We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholders’ equity, or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements and accompanying notes requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this interim report, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and acknowledge such election is irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act. As a result of our election, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
● | Use of Estimates and Assumptions |
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates in the period include the allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivables, assumptions used in assessing the impairment of long-lived assets, and deferred tax valuation allowance.
● | Basis of Consolidation |
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
● | Foreign Currency Translation And Transaction |
The Company uses Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of Roma Risk Advisory Limited is Hong Kong Dollar and its subsidiary in Singapore is Singapore dollar, based on the criteria of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currencies are translated into the functional currencies at the prevailing rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into the applicable functional currencies at historical exchange rates.
In the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the financial information of the Company and other entities located outside of Hong Kong has been translated into HKD. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date, equity amounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the period.
Translation of amounts from SGD into HKD has been made at the following exchange rates for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024:
For the Six Months ended September 30, 2023 | For the Six Months ended September 30, 2024 | |||||||
(SGD to HKD) | (SGD to HKD) | |||||||
Period-end exchange rate | 5.7369 | 6.0697 | ||||||
Period average exchange rate | 5.8253 | 5.8419 |
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated, as the case may be, at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.
● | Convenience Translation |
Translations of balances in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows from HKD into USD as of and for the six months ended September 30, 2024 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of HKD7.80 to USD1. No representation is made that the HKD amounts represent or could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into USD at that rate, or at any other rate.
● | Accounts Receivable, net |
Accounts receivable include trade accounts due from customers in the rendering of service.
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due upon invoice was presented. The Company seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables to minimize credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate and provides allowance when necessary. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual customer exposures, as well as the historical trends of collections. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.
The Company does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its accounts receivable balances.
● | Revenue Recognition |
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), which provided the following overview of how revenue is recognized from the Company’s contracts with customers: The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services.
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price – The transaction price is the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised services to a customer.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract – Any entity typically allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct service promised in the contract.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation – An entity recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised service to a customer (which is when the customer obtains control of that service). The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time.
Majority of the Company’s income is derived from contracts with customers in the rendering of ESG compliance and sustainability related advisory service, and as such, the revenue recognized depicts the transfer of promised services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. The Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance. The contract is typically fixed-priced and the duration of the service period is short, usually less than one year.
The Company’s revenue from ESG compliance and sustainability related advisory service contracts is generally recognized at a point in time when the ESG compliance and sustainability related advisory services are completed. Invoices billed to the customers become payable upon issuance. The Company records receivable related to revenue when it has an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment.
Under the contract, the Company generally requires the customers to make an advance payment at certain percentage of the total contract value upon signing the agreement. Contract liabilities are recorded when the advance payment is received from the customers before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition has been met. The related revenue will be recognized when the underlying services are completed and rendered to the customers.
● | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360. impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, all long-lived assets such as property and equipment owned and held by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever evens or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. No impairment losses were recognized for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
● | Allowance for Credit Losses on Financial Instruments |
In accordance with ASC Topic 326 Credit Losses- Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326), the Company utilizes the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model to determine an allowance that reflects its best estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses on accounts receivable ad deposit. prepayments, and others receivable which is recorded as a liability to offset the receivables. The CECL model is prepared after considering historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. Accounts receivable and deposit, prepayments are written off when deemed uncollectible, Recoveries of receivable previously written off are recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense. The allowance for expected credit losses amounted to HK$43,932 (US$5,632) and HK$221,652 (US$28,417) for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024 respectively.
● | Liquidity Risk |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. A key risk in managing liquidity is the degree of uncertainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair value measurement (Topic 820) Measurement of Equity Securities subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which is intended to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The disclosures requirements included in ASU 2022-03 are required to disclose (i) the fair value of equity securities, (ii) the nature and duration of the restrictions and (iii) the circumstance could cause a lapse in the restrictions for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. ASU 2022-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2022-03 on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The disclosures requirements included in ASU 2023-07 are required for all public entities, including those with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 720): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of additional information for reconciling items meeting certain quantitative thresholds, requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, and modifies certain other income tax-related disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and allows for adoption on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements (“ASU 2024-02”). The amendments in this Update affect a variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. This update contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in prior statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas. ASU 2024-02 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-02 on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure about specific expense categories included in the income statement. Annual disclosure requirements will be effective for the fourth quarter of 2027, and quarterly disclosure requirements will be effective in the first quarter of 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the disclosures.
Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.
Impact of Inflation
In accordance with the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the year-over-year percentage changes in the consumer price index for 2024, 2023 and 2022 were 2.7, 1.7% and 2.3%, respectively.
In accordance with Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong, the year-over-year percentage changes in the consumer price index for 2024, 2023 and 2022 were 1.8%, 2.1% and 1.9%, respectively.
The rate of inflation is expected to increase. We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We continue to monitor the impact of inflation in order to minimize its effects through pricing strategies, productivity improvements and cost reductions. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Credit Risk
Credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. We manage credit risk through in-house research and analysis of the relevant economy and the underlying obligors and transaction structures. We identify credit risk collectively based on industry, geography and client type. In measuring the credit risk of our sales to our clients, we mainly reflect the “probability of default” by the client on its contractual obligations and consider the current financial position of the client and the current and likely future exposures to the client.
Liquidity Risk
We are also exposed to liquidity risk, which is risk that we will be unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. Going forward post initial offering, when necessary, we will turn to financial institutions and related parties to obtain short-term funding to cover any liquidity shortage.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Our reporting currency is the Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”), and almost all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”). Our assets are denominated primarily in HKD. The functional currency of our Singapore subsidiary is the Singapore Dollar (“SGD”). As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the SGD and HKD. If the SGD depreciates against the HKD, the value of our SGD revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our HKD financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

NOTE-2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.
● Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results of operations for the interim period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year of 2025 Accordingly, these unaudited condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and note thereto as of and for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 which are included in the Form 20-F filed with the SEC on August 1, 2024.
● Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates in the period include the allowance for expected credit losses on accounts and other receivables, assumptions used in assessing the impairment of long-lived assets, promissory note receivables, share-based compensation and deferred tax valuation allowance.
● Basis of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
● Foreign Currency Translation And Transaction
The Company uses Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD” or “HK$”) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of RRA is Hong Kong Dollar and Roma (S) in Singapore is Singapore dollar, based on the criteria of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currencies are translated into the functional currencies at the prevailing rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into the applicable functional currencies at historical exchange rates.
In the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the financial information of the Company and other entities located outside of Hong Kong has been translated into HKD. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date, equity amounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the period.

ROMA GREEN FINANCE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2024
Translation of amounts from SGD into HKD has been made at the following exchange rates for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024:
For the Six Months ended September 30, 2023 | For the Six Months ended September 30, 2024 | |||||||
(SGD to HKD) | (SGD to HKD) | |||||||
Period-end exchange rate | ||||||||
Period average exchange rate |
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated, as the case may be, at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.
● Convenience Translation
Translations of balances in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows from HKD into USD as of and for the six months ended September 30, 2024 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of HKD to USD . No representation is made that the HKD amounts represent or could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into USD at that rate, or at any other rate.
● Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in readily available checking and saving accounts. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and that mature within three months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The Company maintains most of its bank accounts in Hong Kong.
● Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable include trade accounts due from customers in the rendering of service.
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest, which are due upon invoices was presented. The Company seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables to minimize credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the allowance for expected credit losses is adequate and provides allowance when necessary. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual customer exposures, as well as the historical trends of collections. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.
The Company does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its accounts receivable balances.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2024
● Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
In
accordance with ASC Topic 326, Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326), the
Company utilizes the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model to determine an allowance that reflects its best
estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses on accounts receivable and deposit, prepayments, and others receivable which is
recorded as a liability to offset the receivables. The CECL model is prepared after considering historical experience, current
conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. Accounts receivable and
deposit, prepayments, and others receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written
off are recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense. The allowance for expected credit losses amounted to approximately HK$
● Promissory Note Receivables
Promissory note receivables are stated at carrying value and receivable in the next twelve months. Interest income is recognized at a fixed interest rate over the prevailing periods on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
● Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises of purchase price and the costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to location. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
Expected useful life | ||
Office equipment |
Expenditure for repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. When assets have retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
● Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In
accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, all long-lived assets such as property
and equipment owned and held by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed
the fair value of the assets.

● Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), which provided the following overview of how revenue is recognized from the Company’s contracts with customers: The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services.
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price – The transaction price is the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised services to a customer.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract – Any entity typically allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct service promised in the contract.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation – An entity recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised service to a customer (which is when the customer obtains control of that service). The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time.
Majority of the Company’s income is derived from contracts with customers in the rendering of ESG compliance and sustainability related advisory service, and as such, the revenue recognized depicts the transfer of promised services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. The Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance. The contract is typically fixed-priced and the duration of the service period is short, usually less than one year.
The Company’s revenue from ESG compliance and sustainability related advisory service contracts is generally recognized at a point in time when the ESG compliance and sustainability related advisory services are completed. Invoices billed to the customers become payable upon issuance. The Company records receivable related to revenue when it has an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2024
Under the contract, the Company generally requires the customers to make the advance payment at certain percentage of the total contract value upon signing the agreement. Contract liabilities are recorded when the advance payment is received from the customers before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition has been met. The related revenue will be recognized when the underlying services are completed and rendered to the customers.
● Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue comprised of staff cost that are directly attributable to the rendering of the ESG compliance and sustainability related advisory service, third party consulting services expenses and compensation expenses for the Company’s professionals.
● Government Grant
A
government grant or subsidy is not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that: (a) the enterprise will comply with the
conditions attached to the grant; and (b) the grant will be received. When the Company receives government grant or subsidies but
the conditions attached to the grants have not been fulfilled, such government subsidies are deferred and recorded under other
payables and accrued expenses, and other long-term liability. The classification of short-term or long-term liabilities is depended
on the management’s expectation of when the conditions attached to the grant can be fulfilled. For the interim periods ended
September 30, 2023, and 2024, the Company received government subsidies of HKD and
HKD respectively,
which are recognized as government grant in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The Company refunded HKD
● Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs, which consist of legal and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the proposed public offering, are capitalized, and charged against the gross proceeds of the offering and recorded as reduction of shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the proposed offering. Should the proposed public offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses incurred, will be charged to the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
● Comprehensive Income (Loss)
ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statement of shareholder’s equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
● Income Taxes
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC
740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the
financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax
positions must initially and subsequently be measured as

The Company is subject to tax in local and foreign jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provision of ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation”. The Company grants share awards, including common stocks and restricted share units, to eligible participants. Share-based compensation expense for share awards is measured at service commencement date based on the estimate of fair value of the share compensation at grant date. The estimate of the fair value of restricted stock with either solely a service requirement or with the combination of service and performance requirements is based on the estimate of closing fair market value of the common stocks on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense is recognized over the awards requisite service period.

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average ordinary share outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of the potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. During the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, there were dilutive shares.
● Segment Reporting
ASC
Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with
the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers
in financial statements for details on the Company’s business segments. For the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, the
Company has
● Related Parties
The Company follows the ASC Topic 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include: a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2024
● Commitments And Contingencies
The Company follows the ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
● Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents
are maintained with high credit quality institutions, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management.
The Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board pays compensation up to a limit of HKD
For accounts receivable, the Company determines, on a continuing basis, the allowance for expected credit losses are based on the estimated realizable value. The Company identifies credit risk on a customer by customer basis. The information is monitored regularly by management. Concentration of credit risk arises when a group of customers having similar characteristics such that their ability to meet their obligations is expected to be affected similarly by changes in economic conditions.
● Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. A key risk in managing liquidity is the degree of uncertainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.
● Fair Value Measurement
The Company follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
● | Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets; |
F-13 |
ROMA GREEN FINANCE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2024
● | Level 2 : Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs; and |
● | Level 3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. |
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, amount due to a related party, accounts payable, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
● Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair value measurement (Topic 820) Measurement of Equity Securities subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which is intended to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The disclosures requirements included in ASU 2022-03 are required to disclose (i) the fair value of equity securities, (ii) the nature and duration of the restrictions and (iii) the circumstance could cause a lapse in the restrictions for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. ASU 2022-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2022-03 on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The disclosures requirements included in ASU 2023-07 are required for all public entities, including those with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure of additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. Annual disclosure requirements will be effective for the fourth quarter of 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our disclosures.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements (“ASU 2024-02”). The amendments in this Update affect a variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. This update contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in prior statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas. ASU 2024-02 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-02 on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure about specific expense categories included in the income statement. Annual disclosure requirements will be effective for the fourth quarter of 2027, and quarterly disclosure requirements will be effective in the first quarter of 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the disclosures.
Except for the above-mentioned pronouncements, there are no new recently issued accounting standards that will have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows.

The Company believes that it will be able to continue to grow the Company’s revenue base and control expenditures. In parallel, the Company continually monitors its capital structure and operating plans and evaluates various potential funding alternatives that may be needed in order to finance the Company’s business development activities, general and administrative expenses and growth strategy. These alternatives include external borrowings, raising funds through public equity or debt markets. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding through the listing of additional equity securities or, that such funding, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company.
The Company obtained the IPO proceeds as well as the follow-on proceeds from offerings of the Company’s equity securities over the period from September 23, 2024 to September 25, 2024. The Company believes that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to support our planned operations for the next 12 months, and that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with anticipated cash flow from our sales projects, will be sufficient to meet our operating needs for the next 24 months. However, the exact amount of proceeds we use for our operations and expansion plans will depend on the amount of cash generated from our operations and any strategic decisions we may make that could alter our expansion plans and the amount of cash necessary to fund these plans.
If necessary, the Company can reduce spending to a sustainable level, which may include delaying, scaling back or eliminating some or all of our ongoing and planned investments in corporate infrastructure, business development initiatives, and sales and marketing activities, among other investments.

(b) | Credit risk |
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash equivalents, accounts and other receivable. Cash equivalents
are maintained with high credit quality institutions, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management.
The Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board pays compensation up to a limit of HKD
For accounts receivable, the Company determines, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and sets up an allowance for expected credit losses based on the estimated realizable value. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its counterparties’ financial condition and generally do not require a collateral. The Company also considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period.
The Company has determined the default event on a financial asset to be when internal and/or external information indicates that the financial asset is unlikely to be received, which could include default of contractual payments due for more than 90 days, default of interest due for more than 365 days or there is significant difficulty of the counterparty. To minimize credit risk, the Company has developed and maintained its credit risk grading to categorize exposures according to their degree of risk of default. The credit rating information is supplied by publicly available financial information and the Company’s own trading records to rate its major customers and other debtors.
As
of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, there was one single customer whose account receivable balance is amounted to
(c) | Interest rate risk |
As
of September 30 2024, the Company has promissory note receivables of HK$
(d) | Economic and political risk |
The Company’s major operations are conducted in Hong Kong and Singapore. Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in Hong Kong, as well as the general state of Hong Kong’s economy may influence the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, the escalation tensions in the Middle East, including the continuing Russian – Ukraine conflict may impact the global economic situation, which indirectly may impact the Company’s operations.

(e) | Exchange rate risk |
The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady; therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of the fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of HKD converted to USD on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in political and economic environments without notice.
(f) | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. A key risk in managing liquidity is the degree of uncertainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.

The Company currently is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.
