11、ight of the Class B Shares and the Promoter Warrants upon the completion of a De-SPAC Transaction.While we may pursue a business combination target in any business,industry or geographical region,we intend to concentrate our efforts on technology-enabled companies in new economy sector in China,such

16、 the Shareholders.Despite external pressure and internal difficulties,China has successfully achieved its major targets set for 2023 and recorded a rebound and improvements in its economy.The gross domestic product of China posted a year-on-year growth of 5.2%in 2023,surpassing the annual target of
17、approximately 5%.From the beginning of 2024,the Chinese economy has continued to demonstrate resilience,exhibiting signs of stable and positive growth amidst global challenges.However,uncertainties still prevail due to the adverse impact of the current high market interest rate environment and the c
18、omplex of global political and economic environment.The Company anticipates that the global equity market will face unprecedented challenges and remain unpredictable.The Company will closely monitor the development of the global and Chinas economic and market conditions,and continue to explore poten
19、tial De-SPAC Targets cautiously with prudent risk management and internal control measure and assess the impact of the economy on the operational and financial performance of the possible De-SPAC Targets,so as to maximize returns for the Shareholders.5TECHSTAR ACQUISITION CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT

27、ity-settled share-based payment expense related to conversion right of the Class B Shares and the Promoter Warrants upon the completion of a De-SPAC Transaction.During the Reporting Period,the Company incurred administrative expenses of approximately HK$48.9 million,which was mainly attributable to

186、ng Standard 34(“IAS 34”),Interim Financial Reporting,issued by the International Accounting Standards Board(“IASB”)and the applicable disclosures required by the Listing Rules.The Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 De
187、cember 2023,which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards(“IFRSs”).The accounting policies applied and the significant judgements made by the management are consistent with those described in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 202
188、3,except for the adoption of amendments to IFRSs effective for the financial year ending 31 December 2024 as described below.The IASB has issued a number of new or amended IFRSs that are first effective for the accounting period beginning on 1 January 2024.All new or amended HKFRSs that are effectiv
189、e from 1 January 2024 did not have any material impact on the Companys accounting policies.The Company has not early adopted any new standard,interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective for the current accounting period.(b)Basis of measurementThe Interim Financial State
190、ments has been prepared under the historical cost basis,except for warrant liabilities(note 11(b),which are measured at fair value.Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
191、date,regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability,the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics int
192、o account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis,except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment,leasing transact
193、ions that are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16,and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value,such as net realisable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.A fair-value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into accou
194、nt a market participants ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.29TECHSTAR ACQUISITION CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT 2024In addition,for financial reporting
195、purposes,fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1,2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety,which are described as follows:Level 1 inputs are quoted prices(
196、unadjusted)in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;Level 2 inputs are inputs,other than quoted prices included within Level 1,that are observable for the asset or liability,either directly or indirectly;and Level 3 inputs are unobserva
197、ble inputs for the asset or liability.(c)Going concern basisAs at 30 June 2024,the Company had net current liabilities and net liabilities of HK$1,118,638,000 and HK$37,681,000 respectively.The Company incurred loss of HK$48,878,000 and net cash used in operating activities of HK$2,256,000 and expec
