FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
Lease liabilities
At 1 May 2025, the Group had lease liabilities of approximately RMB6,000, which will be settled within one year and the weighted average incremental borrowing rate for lease liabilities of the Group was 1.96% per annum.
Amount due to a director
At 1 May 2025, the amount due to a director of approximately RMB2,000 is unsecured, unguaranteed, interest-free and repayable on demand.
Save as aforesaid and apart from intra-group liabilities, the Group did not, at the close of the business on 1 May 2025, have any loan capital issued and outstanding or agreed to be issued, bank overdrafts, charges or debentures, mortgages, loans or other similar indebtedness, finance leases or hire purchase commitment, liabilities under acceptance (other than normal trade payables), acceptance credits, or any guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.
3. WORKING CAPITAL SUFFICIENCY
The Directors are satisfied that, after due and careful consideration and taking into account the present financial resources available to the Group, the effect of the Construction Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder and in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, the working capital of the Group is sufficient for its present requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this circular. The Company has obtained the relevant confirmation as required under Rule 14.66(12) of the Listing Rules.
4. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
5. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT ON THE GROUP
As of 31 December 2024, the audited consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the Group amounted to approximately RMB690.6 million and RMB130.2 million, respectively. The Consideration payable under the Construction Contract will be satisfied by the internal resources of the Group, the unutilized net proceeds raised from the Listing and external borrowings.
When the Consideration payable under the Construction Contract is incurred, the relevant portion will be capitalized to “property, plant and equipment”. Consequently, the amount of the Group’s property, plant and equipment is expected to increase by approximately RMB236.7 million following the completion of the Construction Contract. The payment of the Consideration, along with payments and expenses incurred and to be incurred in connection with the construction works under the Construction Contract, would result in a decrease in ‘cash and cash equivalents’ of approximately RMB122.1 million and an increase in ‘interest-bearing borrowings’ of approximately RMB114.6 million.
The Company considers that the execution of the Construction Contract will not have any material effect on the Group’s earnings immediately. Since the Consideration is expected to be satisfied by the internal resources of the Group, the unutilized net proceeds raised from the Listing, and external borrowings, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents will decrease and its interest-bearing borrowings will increase. As a result, the Group’s bank interest income will be reduced and its finance costs from interest-bearing loans will increase. The finance costs from interest-bearing loans directly attributable to the construction works will be capitalized into the construction cost of the production base during the construction period.
6. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTUS OF THE GROUP
Overview
The Group principally engages in development and manufacturing of biodegradable plastic product bags in Northeast China and the production base locates in Changchun, Jilin province, the PRC. Given the growing global emphasis on environmental conservation, the promotion of sustainable development initiatives, and the PRC government’s significant efforts to mitigate plastic pollution, the Group has remained committed to its core business strategies by focusing firmly on its core business development and manufacturing of biodegradable plastic product bags with a view in eliminating the threats of White Pollution in the PRC throughout the Year. The growth of the biodegradable plastic products market is closely linked to the environmental protection policies and regulations established by the PRC government, which aim to restrict and prohibit the use of non-biodegradable plastics and manage plastic pollution (the “Policies and Regulations”).
- I-4 -
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
In response to the Policies and Regulations, the Group, since 2015, had gradually diversified the business into the development and manufacturing of biodegradable plastic products while maintaining the operation for non-biodegradable automobile plastic parts which accounted for approximately 6.5% and approximately 5.2% of the Group’s total revenue during the year ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Group had contributed the discussion and formulation of the national standard for biodegradable plastic shopping bags, namely, “GB/T 38082–2019”, which was issued by The State Administration for Market Regulation of the PRC and The Standardization Administration of the PRC in October 2019. The “GB/T 38082–2019” has remained as the sole and only national standard in the PRC for biodegradable plastic shopping bags since then. In view of our expertise in the industry and the recognition earned from the PRC Government, we have possessed the competitive strength in the areas of production capabilities, technology level and quality control, which positioned us as the market leader in this policy-driven market.
The Group continued to devote resources to further strengthen the Group’s production capacity and deepen cooperation with major research organizations, including R&D of biodegradable plastic products through collaboration with The Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry Chinese Academy of Science (“CIAC”), a third-party research institute, in which the Group owned the rights to the R&D results. As biodegradable material technology continues to advance, the Board are optimising both the performance and cost of these materials, which enhances the Group’s competitive edge in the market.
The Group also joined as members of those plastic production related industry associations in the PRC, including the Degradable Plastics Committee of China Plastic Processing Industry Association and The Changchun Die & Mold Industry Association so as to embrace the changing market trends and bring new growth momentum to the Group’s business development.
The Group’s biodegradable products mainly comprise (i) biodegradable produce bag rolls; (ii) biodegradable shopping bags; and (iii) biodegradable stretch wraps. During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group’s biodegradable products were sold to customers in the PRC, mainly in the Northeast China, which accounted for approximately 80.4% of the Group’s total revenue, whilst the sales to other cities in the PRC accounted for the remaining approximately 19.6%.

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
Future Prospect
The development of the biodegradable plastic products market in the PRC is driven by the Policies and Regulations. Since 2021, the PRC Government has gradually imposed the Policies and Regulations in different provinces and further imposed the Policies and Regulations in Henan province, which shopping malls, supermarkets, pharmacies, bookstores and other places across Henan province have been prohibited the use of non-biodegradable plastics. In align with the prohibition on use of non-biodegradable plastic products in more provinces in the PRC, the market demand on the Group's biodegradable plastic products has been increased.
Undoubtedly, the PRC Government is committed to uphold a clean and green environment and will continue to strongly support environmental protection industries relating to development and manufacturing of environmental products. It has been clearly stated that the prohibition on the use of non-degradable plastic bags will be expanded to the various marketplaces by the end of 2025. In recent years, the PRC Government has successively issued a series of policies to support the development of biodegradable materials, such as the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Control of Plastic Pollution (關於進一步加強塑料污染治理的意見)" and "Catalogue of Plastic Products Prohibited or Restricted From Production, Sale and Use (Draft for comments) (禁止、限制生產、銷售和使用的塑料製品目錄(徵求意見稿))", which clearly stipulate and promote the application of biodegradable materials.
In view of (i) the increase in demand of biodegradable plastic products in compliance with the Policies and Regulations; (ii) a number of favorable policies and initiatives promulgated by the PRC Government; and (iii) the fundamental change to the dining and consumption habits of the local residents in the PRC from eating out to preparing meals at home and/or ordering takeaway which, contributed to the increase of sale of perishable food and fruits, and thus, in turn, stimulated the use of biodegradable shopping bags and biodegradable produce bag rolls, the Board have confidence that against this backdrop, the prospects for biodegradable plastic products business are optimistic and our Group is well positioned to navigate the business opportunities and challenges ahead.
