Baijuyi Holdings announced unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026, posting a reduced net loss of HK$15.22 million compared with HK$19.23 million a year earlier.
Revenue rose 11.2% to HK$38.36 million, driven mainly by the Australian hospitality operation Balgownie Estate Vineyard Resort & Spa Yarra Valley. Hospitality and related services contributed HK$36.00 million, up 12.7%, while the money-lending segment generated HK$2.36 million, down 7.8%.
Cost of sales increased to HK$8.38 million from HK$5.60 million, reflecting higher activity at the resort. Administrative expenses fell 4.9% to HK$35.30 million, partly offsetting a HK$1.92 million fair-value loss on financial assets and a HK$0.06 million loss on disposals of investments. Finance costs slipped to HK$4.01 million from HK$4.36 million.
Loss before tax narrowed to HK$15.22 million from HK$19.23 million; no tax expense was recorded. Basic and diluted loss per share improved to 0.30 HK cents from 0.37 HK cents. The board declared no interim dividend.
Balance-sheet metrics weakened. Net assets fell to HK$154.19 million from HK$166.89 million at 31 December 2025. Net current liabilities stood at HK$23.97 million versus net current assets of HK$58.60 million six months earlier, mainly due to reclassification of debt: current borrowings surged to HK$100.70 million after a large facility became due within 12 months. Total interest-bearing bank and other borrowings reached HK$105.83 million, 23% at a fixed rate averaging 9.6% and 77% at a variable rate averaging 7.4%.
Cash and cash equivalents were HK$2.09 million, down from HK$2.53 million. The company is negotiating renewal of HK$81.19 million in bank loans and may liquidate equity investments to meet liquidity needs; these conditions raise material uncertainty over going-concern status, according to management.
Looking ahead, the board highlighted geopolitical tensions and global economic headwinds but said the Group will focus on its existing hospitality, money-lending and investment businesses while exploring additional financing options.
