yes. but a negative from operation reflect the actual rising cost. management need some time to tackle it.

impairment is an estimation, not an actual loss. it may be reversal in future if the fair value is up. even remove impairment loss, it shown profit but it is accounting profit. to be fair, look operating cash flow generated is more approriate. it shown a negative in the report. subsequent a further provision again will shown in 2024 report, again it is just provision. overall, company still facing several difficulties as mentioned.

not so soon. not within 2 years.

no direct affect.
