MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Sealand Capital Galaxy Limited is a company acting as a special purpose acquisition company. The Group is engaged in digital marketing, mobile payment and other IT related business. Today it announces its results for the six months ended 30 June 2023.
Business Review
The group's focus on expanding its presence in the e-commerce sector in China has been a key priority. Significant resources have been allocated to this endeavor, recognizing the vast potential of this market. In addition to the existing presence on Tmall, the group is actively working to collaborate with other platforms, aiming to reach a wider customer base and increase market share in online retail.
Collaboration with local retail partners has also yielded positive results. One of the group's sales partners has successfully expanded to four physical stores, with plans for a fifth store in the near future. The group's brand accounts for approximately one-third of their total unit sales, demonstrating the mutually beneficial nature of the partnership.
Further nurturing and strengthening such collaborations will enhance the group's footprint in the retail sector.
Overall, the strategic focus on e-commerce expansion and collaboration with local retail partners has proven successful. The group remains committed to capitalizing on emerging opportunities, both online and offline, to drive growth and maximize shareholder value.
Financial Review
During the six months ended 30 June 2023, the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was £203,951 (2022:
£226,910), and the revenue for the period was £61,198 (2021: £76,071).
Prospects
After the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the group has observed a gradual recovery in sales, albeit slower than anticipated. To fuel future growth and expansion, the group is focusing on soliciting new agency partnerships for additional brands, particularly in the female skincare category. Leveraging existing distribution channels and industry expertise, the group aims to capture a larger share of the market and drive sales.
Moreover, the group is actively exploring opportunities for joint ventures in China. Building upon previous success in the advertising sector, the group seeks potential partnerships in this area. Additionally, venturing into new domains such as app design and interlink programs is a strategic move to diversify revenue streams and enhance competitiveness in the market.
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the group remains optimistic about the future and committed to identifying new growth opportunities within current product lines and through strategic partnerships. By continuously adapting to evolving market conditions and leveraging strengths, the group is confident in its ability to drive long-term success and deliver value to stakeholders.
Going Concern
As at 30 June 2023, the Group has cash and cash equivalent balances of £7,630 and net current liabilities and net liabilities of £1,057,446.
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 2023: Mr Chung Lam Nelson Law(Chairman and Chief Financial Officer)

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
Rising international interest rates and inflation pose a risk to the group's cost of goods sold. Increased borrowing costs and higher input costs, can impact profitability. The group actively monitors these macroeconomic factors and implements strategies to mitigate their adverse effects on financial performance.
Currency Fluctuations
The depreciation of the RMB by 10% has affected the group's total sales turnover. Weaker currency reduces purchasing power in China, negatively impacting demand for products and services. Currency fluctuations introduce volatility and uncertainty, requiring active management of currency exposures through hedging strategies.
Moreover the 10% depreciation of the RMB has impacted the total sales turnover due to a decrease in purchasing power in China.
The group remains vigilant in managing these risks, implementing appropriate risk mitigation strategies, and monitoring market conditions to ensure long-term resilience and sustainability.
Competition
The group acknowledges the need for horizontal integration to expand market presence and capture a larger industry share. However, this expansion may strain resources. Negotiating new product lines requires significant investments in distribution networks, and marketing. Intensified competition may impact profit margins. The group actively pursues strategic partnerships and diversification to enhance competitive position. Prudent decision-making and effective resource allocation are crucial in a dynamic market environment.
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.
