  blue-chip customer base: Partnerships with three major game publishing
  platforms:Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo;
‧High-growth market: The video gaming sector, in particular the mobile
  and online gaming segments, is expected to continue to demonstrate
  strong growth;
‧Compelling cost advantage of outsourcing: Outsourcing represents an
  increasing proportion of game development budgets, and this trend is
  expected to continue going forward;
‧Limited product risk: Given its “work-for-hire” business model, the
  Group is not exposed as principal to the risks associated with ownership
  and development of these games;
‧Fragmented market: The global game art outsourcing industry remains
  fragmented, with most service providers being relatively small
  independent studios. The Group completed its first two acquisitions in
  H1 2024, is currently evaluating several targets and has a pipeline of
  potential
  acquisitions under consideration;
‧Strong growth: Significant organic growth over past four years, doubling
  headcount to 800+, increasing revenue to US$29.3m and growing Adjusted
  EBITDA to US$5.3m (FY23);
‧Forward earnings visibility from growing follow-on revenues: Focusing on
