Visitor arrivals remained below prior - year levels due to reduced airlift capacity, delayed reopening of certain hotels and lower room inventory across key resort area s. These factors contributed to lower attendance levels at Dolphin Cove and Yaaman Adventure Park and, consequently, reduced revenues compared to the corresponding period of 2025. Encouragingly, we continue to see positive trends from Latin American markets, strong conversion performance within the cruise segment and resilient demand from local and direct consumers supported by targeted marketing initiatives. The Group remained profitable during the quarter, recording profit after taxation of approximately US$0.14 million, and generated positive operating cash flows. The result was supported by a partial reversal of impairment allowances recognised i n prior per iods of approximately US$0.17 million. Excluding that reversal, the quarter would have been close to breakeven, reflecting the lower revenue base largely offset by reductions in direct and operating costs and continued working capital discipline. On a rolling twelve - month basis the Group recorded a loss, reflecting principally the impairment of related - party receivables recognised during 2025 in connection with the restructuring of the wider group described in Note 5, rather than the performance of the Jamaican operations, which remained cash generative throughout the period. As destination recovery progresses, we remain confident in Jamaica's long - term tourism fundamentals and are focused on strengthening market diversification, enhancing guest experiences and positioning the business to capitalize on the expected improvement in visitor arrivals throughout the remainder of 2026.

Working capital remained marginally negative at approximately negative US$0.4 million at March 31, 2026, an improvement from negative US$0.6 million at December 31, 2025. The movement reflected lower accounts payable balances and a significant reduction in trade receivables following improved collections during the quarter, partly offset by higher inventory levels. During the period, the Company successfully collected approximately US$1.5 million relating to a long - out standing receivable balance. This collection contributed significantly to the reduction in accounts receivable, enhanced liquidity and supported positive operating cash flows. As a result, cash and cash equivalents increased from US$0.4 million at December 31, 2025 to US$1.7 million at March 31, 2026 . Net cash generated from operating activities totaled approximately US$1.6 million during the quarter, reflecting the effectivenes s of the Company's collection efforts and prudent working capital management. The Company continues to maintain a conservative debt - to - equity ratio of 0.06:1, including the three - year financing arrangement related to the GCT assessment. Despite the softer operating performance during the quarter, the Company funded capital expenditure of US$311,834 while improving its overall liquidity position and maintaining the financial flexibility to support future operations. The Group remained profitable during the quarter and generated positive operating cash flows, while continuing to manage the effects of the slower tourism recovery on revenue.
