29、nies focused on Greater China in the sectors of innovative technology,consumer and new retail,advanced manufacturing,healthcare and climate action.The Company completed the Offering on the Listing Date.The Offering comprised 100,100,000 Class A Shares at an offer price of HK$10.00 per Class A Share

31、which was deposited in the Escrow Account and held in the form of restricted bank balances.During the Reporting Period,the Company had not selected any specific De-SPAC Target,or entered into any binding agreement with respect to a potential De-SPAC Transaction.Prior to the completion of the De-SPAC
32、 Transaction,the Company will not engage in any operations other than in connection with the selection,structuring and completion of the De-SPAC Transaction.BUSINESS REVIEWDuring the Reporting Period,the Company did not engage in any operations and did not generate any revenue.The Companys only acti

35、ion during the Reporting Period(for the period from January 11,2022 to December 31,2022:HK$2.6 million),which primarily consisted of interest revenue on the gross proceeds of the Offering held in the Escrow Account.Equity-settled share-based payment expensesDuring the Reporting Period,the Company in
36、curred equity-settled share-based payment expenses of approximately HK$52.8 million(for the period from January 11,2022 to December 31,2022:HK$89.0 million)as a result of the Class B Shares which contain a conversion feature(the“Conversion Right”)and the Promoter Warrants.The Company accounted for t
37、he Conversion Right in the Class B Shares and the Promoter Warrants granted on the Listing Date as equity-settled share-based payment,with the completion of the De-SPAC Transaction as the vesting condition for accounting purposes.The total estimated fair value of the equity-settled share-based payme
38、nt is spread over the vesting period,taking into account the probability that the related awards would vest.Other operating expensesDuring the Reporting Period,the other operating expenses of the Company increased to approximately HK$4.2 million from approximately HK$2.3 million for the period from
39、January 11,2022 to December 31,2022 as a result of an increase in independent non-executive Directors emoluments,insurance expenses,and legal and professional fees incurred by the Company for the services of legal advisers and compliance advisers,valuation services,accounting services and printer se
40、rvices.Loss from operationsAs a result of the foregoing,the loss from operations of the Company decreased to approximately HK$11.9 million during the Reporting Period from approximately HK$96.3 million for the period from January 11,2022 to December 31,2022.Fair value change of deferred underwriting

44、alysis(Continued)Loss and total comprehensive income for the periodAs a result of the foregoing,the loss and total comprehensive income of the Company decreased to approximately HK$58.2 million during the Reporting Period from approximately HK$139.1 million for the period from January 11,2022 to Dec

46、in the Escrow Account may be released only to complete the De-SPAC Transaction,satisfy redemption requests of the Shareholders,and return funds to holders of the Class A Shares upon the suspension of trading of the Class A Shares and the Listed Warrants or upon the liquidation or winding up of the C
47、ompany.The Company has been monitoring its expenses on an ongoing basis and endeavors to keep the costs within the Companys primary sources of liquidity other than the funds deposited in the Escrow Account,including the proceeds from the sale of Class B Shares and the Promoter Warrants and the Loan
48、Facility,as set out in“Borrowings and gearing ratio”below.The Company believes that it is well-positioned to manage operating expenses when conducting negotiations and performing due diligence review on potential De-SPAC Targets.Prior to the completion of the De-SPAC Transaction,the primary sources
49、of liquidity to satisfy the Companys capital requirements include proceeds from the issuance of the Class B Shares and the Promoter Warrants and the Loan Facility.With the amount of liquid assets on hand which are held outside the Escrow Account,the Company is of the view that it has sufficient fina
50、ncial resources to meet its ongoing capital requirements prior to the completion of the De-SPAC Transaction.Due to the Companys business nature,there is no ageing analysis of accounts receivable and accounts payable.As of December 31,2023,the Company had total assets of approximately HK$1,050.9 mill
51、ion(as of December 31,2022:HK$1,014.2 million),which primarily consisted of(i)cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$2.1 million(as of December 31,2022:HK$10.1 million).The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to net cash used in financing activities of approximately HK$4.1 mi
52、llion from payments of listing expenses in 2023;(ii)interest receivables of approximately HK$14.6 million(as of December 31,2022:HK$2.6 million).The increase in interest receivables was mainly due to an increase in interest receivables from the Escrow Account.Interest revenue from the Escrow Account
53、 is recognised using the effective interest method,and the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the restricted bank balances;(iii)prepayments of approximately HK$0.5 million(as of December 31,2022:HK$0.5 million);and(iv)restricted bank balances of HK$1,033.7 million(as
54、of December 31,2022:HK$1,001.0 million).11Interra Acquisition CorporationAnnual Report 2023Management Discussion and Analysis(Continued)As of December 31,2023,the Company had total liabilities of approximately HK$1,172.4 million(as of December 31,2022:HK$1,130.4 million),which primarily consisted of
55、(i)other payables and accruals of approximately HK$1.9 million(as of December 31,2022:HK$4.5 million),which mainly consisted of accrued other operating expenses.The decrease in other payables and accruals was mainly due to the settlement of listing expenses;(ii)deferred underwriting commissions paya
56、ble of approximately HK$20.9 million(as of December 31,2022:HK$22.0 million);(iii)redemption liabilities arising from the Class A Shares of HK$1,047.3 million(as of December 31,2022:HK$1,001.0 million);and(iv)Listed Warrants of approximately HK$102.3 million(as of December 31,2022:HK$102.3 million).

58、ed(as lenders)entered into a facility agreement on September 7,2022 in relation to an unsecured Loan Facility for an aggregate of HK$20 million.As of December 31,2023,no amount has been drawn down under the Loan Facility.As the Company did not have any borrowings as of December 31,2023,the net geari
59、ng ratio(as calculated by total interest-bearing bank borrowings as at the end of the respective period divided by total equity as at the same date)was not applicable to the Company as of December 31,2023.Foreign exchange exposureAs of December 31,2023,the Companys cash and cash equivalents was deno
60、minated in Hong Kong dollars.As such,the Company did not have significant foreign currency exposure during the Reporting Period.The Company currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy,however,the Company manages foreign exchange risk by performing regular reviews of net foreign exchang
