🚩 Risks & Outlook

Specific Risks: The sharp revenue decline, shift to a net loss, and the impact of new labour codes pose immediate concerns. The ongoing losses from discontinued operations add to financial strain. The absence of guidance suggests management uncertainty regarding future performance.

The Forward View: Investors should closely monitor the company's ability to reverse the trend of declining revenues and losses in the upcoming quarters. The integration and performance of the remaining business post-demerger will be critical.
