At 31 December
2025 2024
RMB’000 RMB’000
Within 1 year 355,531 303,451

(b) Endorsed bank acceptance bills

As at 31 December 2025, the Group endorsed certain bank acceptance bills with a carrying amount of RMB77,719,000 (2024: RMB28,248,000) to suppliers for settling trade and other payables of the same amount on a full recourse basis and discounted commercial bills receivable amounting to RMB23,980,000 to banks.

In the opinion of the directors, the Group has not transferred the substantial risks and rewards relating to these bank acceptance bills and commercial bills, and accordingly, these bills receivable and the associated trade and other payables were not de-recognised in the consolidated statements of financial position.

(ii) Endorsed bank acceptance bills that are derecognised in their entirety

As at 31 December 2025, the Group endorsed certain bank acceptance bills with a carrying amount of RMB47,743,000 (2024: RMB16,630,000) to suppliers for settling trade and other payables of the same amount on a full recourse basis. The Group derecognised these bills receivable and the payables to suppliers in their entirety in the consolidated statements of financial position.

In the opinion of the directors, the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of these bills and has discharged its obligation of the payables to its suppliers. The Group considered the issuing banks of the bills are of good credit quality and the non-settlement of these bills by the issuing banks on maturity is not probable.

As at 31 December 2025, the Group’s maximum exposure to loss and undiscounted cash outflow, which is the same as the amounts payable by the Group to suppliers in respect of the endorsed bills, should the issuing banks fail to settle the bills on maturity date, amounted to RMB47,743,000 (2024: RMB16,630,000).

(i) As at 31 December 2025, certain bank loans were secured by the Group's land use rights, property, plant and equipment and pledged bank deposits with the net carrying amounts of RMB62,220,000, RMB59,849,000 and RMB20,000,000, respectively (2024: RMB24,791,000, nil and nil).

(ii) As at 31 December 2025, certain subsidiaries of the Group entered into agreements of sale and leaseback of property, plant and equipment with finance leasing companies, with weighted average interest rate of 6.4% per annum (2024: 6.0%). The principals and interests should be repaid monthly within 5 years.

Based on the annual assessment from the management of the Group, the finance leasing companies did not obtain control of the assets, and the transfer of assets did not satisfy the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale of the assets. Therefore, the Group continued to recognise the assets and recognised borrowings equal to the transfer proceeds according to IFRS 9.

(iii) As at 31 December 2025, the Group borrowed USD204,000 (equivalent to RMB1,431,000) from a third party with interest rate of 6.0% per annum, which were secured by the Group's deposits.

(iv) As at 31 December 2025, the Group borrowed RMB131,089,000 from third parties, with weighted average interest rate of 4.5% per annum, and would mature within one year.
