Our gross profit margin remained relatively stable at 20.5% in 2022 and 21.0% in 2023. Our gross profit margin of solutions decreased from 45.9% in 2022 to 20.2% in 2023, which was due to a decrease in gross profit margin of other solutions. Our other solutions generally include two phases, including (i) providing R&D services related to the development of PCBAs or end-products of these solutions, and (ii) providing PCBAs or end-products of these solutions. See "Business—Our Products and Solutions—Our Solutions" for details. The decrease in the gross profit margin of other solutions was primarily due to an increase in the proportion of the PCBA and end-products we delivered in 2023. PCBAs and end-products generally have lower gross profit margin than R&D services, which was in line with the industry, according to Frost & Sullivan.

SUMMARY
Our gross profit margin decreased from 21.0% in 2023 to 18.2% in 2024, due to a decrease in the gross profit margin of data transmission modules and smart modules.
- The decrease in the gross profit margin of data transmission modules was primarily due to a decrease in the average selling price of our data transmission modules from 2023 to 2024. The decrease in the average selling price was primarily because our customers in application scenarios such as smart retail and consumer electronics purchased more cost-effective data transmission modules with lower average selling price. Some of these customers chose more cost-effective data transmission modules with basic functions and more competitive pricing that fulfill their business needs for modules with basic functions.
- The decrease in gross profit margin of smart modules was primarily due to a decrease in the average selling price of our smart modules. The decrease in the average selling price of our smart modules was primarily because we adjusted the price of the smart modules used in the smart home application scenario to enhance our competitiveness and boost our sales volume.
Our gross profit margin decreased from 20.0% in the four months ended April 30, 2024 to 17.7% in the four months ended April 30, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in the gross profit margin of smart modules. The decrease in the gross profit margin of smart modules was primarily due to an increase in the unit cost of goods sold of our smart modules, primarily attributable to an increase in the purchase price of raw materials.

SUMMARY
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND NON-COMPLIANCE
We may, from time to time, become a party to various legal, arbitral or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had not been involved in any actual or pending legal, arbitration or administrative proceedings (including any bankruptcy or receivership proceedings) that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or reputation and compliance. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had not been involved in any material non-compliance incidents that have led to fines, enforcement actions, or other penalties that could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions. For further details, see "Business—Legal Proceedings and Compliance" and "Business—Licenses, Approvals and Permits." For more information about the laws and regulations that we are subject to, see "Regulatory Overview."
OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER
As of the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Zhang Tianyu, our executive Director and chairman of our Board, was interested in an aggregate of 281,512,495 A Shares, representing approximately 36.78% of our total issued share capital and approximately 36.90% of the voting power at general meetings of our Company (excluding the 2,627,960 A Shares held by our Company as treasury Shares). For further details of the treasury Shares, see "Share Capital—Our Shares" in this document.
Immediately following the completion of the [REDACTED] (assuming the [REDACTED] is not exercised and no other changes are made to the issued share capital of our Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the [REDACTED]), Mr. Zhang will be entitled to exercise [REDACTED]% of the voting power at general meetings of our Company (excluding the 2,627,960 A Shares held by our Company as treasury Shares). Therefore, upon [REDACTED], Mr. Zhang will remain as our Controlling Shareholder under the Listing Rules. For further details of our corporate structure and the shareholding of our Controlling Shareholder, see "History and Corporate Structure—Corporate Structure" and "Relationship with Our Controlling Shareholder" in this document.
MATERIAL ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS
In July 2021, in order to expand our overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business and further strengthen our overseas market position, our Company entered into an equity purchase agreement to acquire an aggregate of 51% equity interest in Shenzhen Rolling. Subsequently, in light of the increasingly complex changes in the international market environment and the difficulties and costs associated with navigating such changes, we re-evaluated our strategic direction in international expansion and decided to dispose of our overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business segment operated through Hong Kong Rolling and Luxembourg Rolling in July 2024 (the "Disposal").
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
SUMMARY
This decision was mainly driven by increasing regulatory risks associated with the automotive front-fit sector in U.S. during the Track Record Period. On March 17, 2025, the U.S. implemented the final rule (the "March 2025 Final Rule"), which formally prohibits the import of (i) vehicle connectivity system ("VCS") hardware or connected vehicles containing such hardware and (ii) the import and sale of connected vehicles containing VCS software or software that supports the function of VCS or automated driving systems (the "Covered Software"), when such VCS hardware or Covered Software is designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of the PRC.
Although Shenzhen Rollings revenue from sales to the U.S. accounting for less than 5% of its total revenue in each respective year/period, the extraterritorial scope of the March 2025 Final Rule and the downstream exposure arising from customer supply chains into the U.S. market lead to indirect regulatory exposure. For further details on the regulatory background and the impact of the Disposal, see "History and Corporate Structure—Major Acquisitions, Disposals and Mergers—Acquisition of Shenzhen Rolling in 2022 and Subsequent Disposal in 2024" and "Business—Our Products and Solutions—Discontinued Operation and the Disposal of Shenzhen Rolling" in this document.
OUR LISTING ON THE CHINEXT BOARD OF THE SHENZHEN STOCK EXCHANGE

Our Board may recommend a distribution of dividends in the future after taking into account our results of operations, financial condition, operating requirements, capital requirements, shareholders' interests, industry characteristics, development stage, business model, whether there is a significant capital expenditure arrangement and any other conditions that our Board may deem relevant.
FUTURE PLANS AND USE OF [REDACTED]
Assuming an [REDACTED] of HK$[REDACTED] per Share (being the mid-point of the [REDACTED] stated in this document), we estimate that we will receive net [REDACTED] of approximately HK$[REDACTED] (equivalent to approximately RMB[REDACTED]) from the [REDACTED] after deducting the [REDACTED] and other estimated expenses paid and payable by us in connection with the [REDACTED] and assuming that the [REDACTED] is not exercised.
In line with our strategies, we intend to use our [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] for the purposes and in the amounts set forth below:
- approximately [REDACTED]% of the net [REDACTED], or HK$[REDACTED], is expected to be allocated for R&D purpose, primarily including technical innovation and product development related to AI technologies and robotic technologies.

SUMMARY
[REDACTED] EXPENSES
[REDACTED] expenses represent professional fees, [REDACTED] and other fees incurred in connection with the [REDACTED]. We estimate that our [REDACTED] expenses will be approximately RMB[REDACTED] (at the [REDACTED] of HK$[REDACTED] per [REDACTED] and no exercise of the [REDACTED]), representing approximately [REDACTED]% of the gross [REDACTED] (based on the [REDACTED] of HK$[REDACTED] per [REDACTED] and assuming that the [REDACTED] is not exercised) of the [REDACTED]. We expect to incur [REDACTED] expenses of approximately RMB[REDACTED], of which approximately RMB[REDACTED] is expected to be recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss as administrative expenses and approximately RMB[REDACTED] is expected to be recognized as a deduction in equity directly upon the [REDACTED]. Our Directors do not expect such expenses to materially impact our results of operations in 2025. By nature, our [REDACTED] expenses are composed of (i) [REDACTED] of approximately RMB[REDACTED] and (ii) [REDACTED] of approximately RMB[REDACTED], which consist of fees and expenses of sole sponsor, legal advisors and the Reporting Accountant of approximately RMB[REDACTED] and other fees and expenses of approximately RMB[REDACTED].
RECENT DEVELOPMENT AND NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE
Recent Development
Our business has continued to experience strong growth momentum following the Track Record Period. In the two months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded sales volumes of 6.9 million and 1.3 million for our data transmission modules and smart modules, as compared to 6.1 million and 1.2 million in the two months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. In addition, both our revenue and net profit have shown an upward trend, while our gross profit margin has remained relatively stable at levels consistent with the four months ended April 30, 2025. These results reflect the continued demand for our products and the successful execution of our growth strategy.
Unaudited Financial Information for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
We are a public company listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and we have disclosed unaudited key financial information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 pursuant to the relevant PRC securities laws and regulations. We have included our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with IAS34, Interim Financial Reporting as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 in Appendix IA to this document. Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 has been reviewed by our reporting accountant in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Specifically, Our revenue from continuing operations increased by 23.5% from RMB3,001.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to RMB3,707.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025,
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
SUMMARY
as a result of an increase in revenue from the sales of smart modules and other solutions. Our gross profit margin from continuing operations decreased from 20.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 16.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in the gross profit margin of smart modules. As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the period from continuing operations increased by 4.8% from RMB208.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to RMB218.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. For further details, see “Financial Information—Unaudited Financial Information for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025.”
No Material Adverse Change
Our Directors have confirmed that up to the date of this document there has been no material adverse change in our financial or trading position or prospects since April 30, 2025, being the date of our latest audited financial statements, and there has been no event since April 30, 2025 which would materially affect the information shown in the Accountants’ Report set out in Appendix I to this document.
Recent Regulations in Relation to Tariffs
In early 2025, the U.S. government initiated a series of escalating tariffs and trade policies primarily targeting China, leading to retaliatory measures from China. For details of (i) the changes in policies issued by the U.S. in relation to imports from China and (ii) the changes in policies issued by China in relation to imports of U.S. origin, see “Regulatory Overview—U.S. and China Tariff Policies.”
We do not expect the recently implemented tariff changes by the U.S. government would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial conditions, primarily because the module products and solutions we directly ship to the U.S. generally represent a small portion of all module products and solutions we sell. Our overseas customers typically designate locations where we ship our module products and solutions. These designated locations mainly include ports or places where these customers’ manufacturing facilities are located. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, the revenue from our module products and solutions we directly shipped to the U.S. represented an insignificant amount of our total revenue, respectively.
Furthermore, we do not expect the recent measures implemented by Chinese government would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial conditions, primarily because raw materials of U.S. origin we import, which refer to raw materials we imported that are manufactured in the U.S., generally represent a tiny proportion of all raw materials we purchase. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, the raw materials of U.S. origin we imported represented an insignificant amount of our total purchase amount, respectively.

RISK FACTORS
In addition, our future growth may be affected by factors beyond our control. Such factors include changes in the macroeconomic condition in China and globally, changes in the competitive landscape of the industries in which we operate, government regulations, international geopolitical situation and changes in supply and demand for our products and solutions, among others.
New scientific and technological outcomes or trends could make our products and solutions uncompetitive and obsolete.
Our success depends on our ability to develop and integrate our core technologies, including module design and module-based solution development, to support our products and solutions. To remain competitive, we must maintain and enhance our core technologies to meet the latest downstream market needs, technological advancement and industry standards. The development activities related to our core technologies may involve significant time, risks and uncertainties. For example, our R&D team may not be able to coordinate and manage the development projects, the expenses associated with these investments may affect our margins and operating results and these investments may not generate sufficient revenue to offset related liabilities and expenses.
New technological trends may make our products and solutions obsolete. For example, with the rapid advancement of semiconductor manufacturing techniques, the performance of integrated circuits has improved significantly, enabling microprocessors to support an increasing array of functions. This has led to a higher level of integration and enhanced functionality in smart terminal devices. Currently, some semiconductor manufacturers have introduced integrated chips with built-in wireless communication capabilities. If these integrated chips achieve widespread adoption in terminal devices of IoT, it could pose potential challenges to our business of module products and solutions.
Moreover, our products and solutions are used in a variety of end-use application scenarios, primarily including automotive electronics, smart home, consumer electronics and smart retail. Technological advancement and new industry standards in these downstream industries may affect the application requirements of our end customers and their products and solutions. If we fail to develop new products and solutions or refine our technologies to match the different or additional requirements of our end customers, the sale of our products may decrease, and our business, financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
Our products and solutions are used by end customers of multiple industries and sectors. Factors that adversely affect these industries and sectors may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our products and solutions are primarily offered to downstream end customers of multiple industries, primarily including automotive electronics, smart home, consumer electronics and smart retail. Factors that adversely affect these industries could also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. These factors include, among others:
- a decline in demand for, or negative perception of, or publicity about, our products and solutions;
- the reduction or elimination of preferential tax treatments, economic incentives and other favorable government policies on wireless communication module providers;
- regulatory restrictions, trade disputes, industry-specific quotas, tariffs, non-tariff barriers and taxes that may have the effect of limiting exports of these industries from China;
- a downturn in general economic conditions of major countries and regions that import our products and solutions; and
- the macroeconomic condition which affects the consumption habits of end consumers.
Any decrease in the downstream demand for our products and solutions in the downstream industries would result in a decrease in customer orders for our products and solutions. Even if the downstream demand increases, we may not be able to identify and capitalize on the market opportunities. If we fail to anticipate or adjust to any shifts in industry standards or technological advancement in these downstream industries, our products and solutions may not be able to compete effectively. Additionally, shifts in industry standards or technological advancement in these downstream industries may also reduce the application of our products and solutions, or even render them obsolete. As a result, if we fail to adjust to changes in the market condition of our downstream industries, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
If our new products and solutions fail to receive market acceptance as we expected, or if we are unable to develop products and solutions that meet evolving market demand, our business, financial condition and competitive position would be materially and adversely affected.
Our success depends on our ability to meet customer expectations and increase the sale of our products and solutions. If we cannot offer products and solutions that cater to our customers' evolving demand, or if our competitors are able to offer products and solutions with more competitive quality and parameters, our ability to retain our customers may be adversely affected. In particular, we launched a range of new products and solutions in 2024 and 2025, including (i) AI modules, (ii) Edge AI solutions and (iii) robotic solutions. We cannot assure you that such new products and solutions would receive market acceptance as we expected, or generate profits within our expected timeframe. The success and profitability of our new products and solutions are subject to various factors such as market demand, macroeconomic conditions and the pace of technical advancements, which we may not estimate accurately.
In addition, we may not be able to maintain our relationship with customers due to factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, changes in the customers' business model, the availability of comparable products and solutions from competitors at a lower price and shifts in the macroeconomic condition. Any adverse development in these respects may adversely affect our customer base, and in turn affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Further, our ability to increase the sale of our products and solutions depends on our ability to effectively market our products and solutions, respond to customer requests properly and offer appropriate after-sale services. If we fail to conduct or enhance our sales and marketing activities in a cost-effective manner, we may incur considerable selling and distribution expenses. Our brand promotion and marketing activities may not be well received by customers and may not generate any anticipated increase in sales. We may not generate sufficient revenue to offset the increase in selling and distribution expenses. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
The industry in which we operate is highly competitive. If we fail to compete against other market players, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
The wireless communication module industry in which we operate is highly competitive. We primarily compete with other companies that focus on developing and commercializing similar products and solutions. If we compete with players that offer competitive products and solutions at lower prices, or if we do not have or in the future fail to gain more financial resources and sophisticated technological capabilities and broader customer base and relationships than our competitors, we may not be able to respond as quickly and effectively to new opportunities, technologies, industry standards, customer demand or regulatory requirements as our competitors.
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
RISK FACTORS
We may also face competition from new entrants who may offer competitive products and solutions at lower prices in the future. Such new entrants may increase industry competition and adversely impact the sales, price, and profit margins of our products and solutions and our market share. Further, we may be required to make substantial additional investments in research, development, marketing and sales, recruiting and retaining talents, and acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our current and future products and solutions in order to respond to such potential competitions, and we cannot assure you that such measures will be effective.
If we are unable to compete successfully, or if competing successfully requires us to take costly actions in response to the actions of our competitors, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
We may not be able to implement our growth plan and our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
The success of our business initiatives and strategies depends on various factors, such as economic condition, market condition, competition, regulatory requirements, technological advancement and customer preferences. These factors may be difficult to predict or control. If they do not develop as we expect, our business initiatives and strategies may not be successful in enhancing our business as anticipated.
In addition, the execution of these plans may require significant investment of capital and other resources and management attention, and we may face challenges in implementing them effectively or within the expected time frame. As a result, we may experience delays, cost overruns or other obstacles that may limit our ability to realize the full benefits of these initiatives. If we are unable to successfully execute our business initiatives and strategies, or if the benefits we realize are less than we estimate, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We depend on the continued services and contributions of our senior management and other key employees, including senior R&D personnel and skilled engineers.
Our continued success depends and will continue to depend to a significant extent on our efforts and abilities to retain the key members of our management team including Mr. Zhang Tianyu, the Executive Director and chairman of the board; Mr. Ying Lingpeng, the Executive Director and general manager; Mr. Xu Ning, the Executive Director and vice general manager; Mr. Chen Shijiang, the Vice general manager and secretary of the Board; and Ms. Wang Hongyan, the Finance director and vice general manager. Our continued success also depends on and will continue to depend on our efforts and abilities to make sure each of them is and will continue to be actively engaged in our management and our strategic planning. Our future performance will also depend on their continuing services contributions to formulate and execute our business plan and to identify and pursue new opportunities. The loss of services of any of these individuals, or the ineffective management of any leadership transitions, could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our development and strategic objectives, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

RISK FACTORS
In addition, our success depends on our ability to attract and retain a large number of other qualified employees, especially technical personnel. In particular, we rely on our R&D team to develop our core technologies and new products and solutions. In order to compete for talent, we may need to offer higher compensation, better training, more attractive career opportunities and other benefits to our employees, which may be costly. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract, assimilate, develop or retain the qualified personnel necessary to support our future growth. Even if we attract and retain qualified personnel, our ability to train and integrate new employees into our operations may not meet the demands of our growing business. Furthermore, any disputes between us and our employees or any labor-related regulatory or legal proceedings may divert management and financial resources, negatively affect staff morale, reduce our productivity, or harm our reputation and future recruiting efforts. Any of the above issues related to our workforce may materially and adversely affect our operations and future growth.
We have been and intend to continue investing in R&D activities, which may adversely affect our profitability and operating cash flow and may not generate the results we expect to achieve.
We invest in R&D activities to develop and introduce new and enhanced products and solutions. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the four months ended April 30, 2024 and 2025, our R&D expenses from continuing operations were RMB542.6 million, RMB540.2 million, RMB582.7 million, RMB193.9 million and RMB182.3 million, respectively, accounting for 10.4%, 9.6%, 8.4%, 9.5% and 7.3% of our total revenue for the respective periods. The industry in which we operate is subject to rapid technological innovations. To expand our product portfolio and to remain competitive in the industry, we need to continue investing resources in R&D activities. As a result, we may continue to incur significant R&D expenses in the future.
However, we cannot guarantee that our efforts will be successful or deliver the effects, functions or benefits we expect. R&D activities are inherently uncertain. We may not be able to obtain sufficient resources, including qualified R&D personnel and R&D equipment to support the R&D of new or enhanced products and solutions. Even if we succeed in our R&D efforts and generate the results we expect, we may still encounter practical difficulties in commercializing our R&D outcomes. R&D activities are time-consuming and by the time our products and solutions are due for commercialization, new technologies could render our products and solutions obsolete, in which case we may not be able to recover related R&D expenses, which could result in a decline in our revenue, profitability and market share.
Even if our R&D efforts successfully result in the development and commercialization of new products and solutions, these efforts may not contribute to our future results of operations within our expected timeframe, or at all. The success and profitability of our new products and solutions are subject to various factors such as market demand, macroeconomic conditions or the pace of technological advancement, which are beyond our control. Therefore, the contributions from our R&D efforts may not meet our expectations or even cover the costs of such efforts, which would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and competitive position.

RISK FACTORS
We may not be able to obtain or maintain adequate intellectual property rights protection for our products and solutions, or the scope of such intellectual property rights protection may not be sufficiently broad.
Our success depends in a large part on our ability to protect our proprietary technology as well as our products and solutions from competition by obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights, including patent rights. We have been protecting the proprietary technologies that we consider commercially important by, among others, filing patent applications in China and other jurisdictions. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had 541 granted patents in China and overseas, including 371 invention patents, as well as 745 patent applications. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had 183 software copyrights, 58 registered trademarks, and 10 domain names in China and overseas. See "Business—Intellectual Property." The intellectual property application process may be expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable intellectual property applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner, if at all. In addition, we may however fail to identify patentable aspects of our R&D outputs before it is too late to obtain patent protection. As a result, we may not be able to prevent competitors from developing and commercializing competitive products and solutions in any or all such fields.
Even if we have identified, filed and prosecuted our intellectual property applications, our applications may not be granted or our intellectual property may be invalidated for multiple reasons, including known or unknown prior deficiencies in the intellectual property application or the lack of novelty of the underlying technology. As such, we cannot assure you that we will be able to discern the scope of the intellectual property protection or obtain adequate intellectual property protection with respect to our products and solutions.
Even if our intellectual property applications are approved, they may not be approved in a form that will provide us with any meaningful protection from competition or with any competitive advantage. For instance, our competitors may be able to circumvent our patents by developing similar or alternative technologies, products or solutions in a non-infringing manner. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its inventor, scope, validity or enforceability, and our patents may be challenged in the courts or patent offices in China and other jurisdictions. Further, although various extensions may be available, the life of a patent and the protection it affords is limited. For example, in China, invention patents and utility model patents are valid for 20 years and 10 years from the date of application, respectively. If we fail to extend the life of our patents, we may face competition for any approved products and solutions even if we successfully obtain patent protection once the patent life has expired for the product.

RISK FACTORS
The governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment, and other similar provisions during the patent application process and over the lifetime of the patent. Non-compliance events, including failure to respond to official actions within prescribed time limits, non-payment of periodic maintenance fees and failure to properly legalize and submit formal documents, can result in abandonment or lapse of the relevant patent or patent application, leading to partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. If our patent rights are compromised, we may lose market share to our competitors, which would materially and adversely affect our business.
Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, competitive position and prospects.
We are subject to customer concentration risk.
During the Track Record Period, the aggregate revenue generated from our five largest customers in each period was RMB3,332.1 million, RMB3,610.9 million, RMB4,063.9 million and RMB1,567.3 million, respectively, accounting for 64.0%, 63.9%, 58.3% and 63.2% of our total revenue from continuing operations, respectively. During the Track Record Period, revenue from our largest customer in each period were RMB1,456.0 million, RMB1,481.6 million, RMB1,187.4 million and RMB562.9 million, accounting for 28.0%, 26.2%, 17.0% and 22.7% of our total revenue from continuing operations in the same periods, respectively. For details, see "Business—Our Customers—Our Major Customers." As a result, we may be subject to concentration risks related to these major customers. If we fail to maintain our relationships with our major customers in the future due to factors such as perceived decline in the quality of our products and solutions and changes in the customers' own business model, our sales to these major customers may be adversely affected. If any of our major customers substantially reduce their demand for our products and solutions, delay their payments or terminate our business relationship, we may not be able to timely or successfully secure new business from other customers to mitigate such reduction in sales demand or loss of business. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operation will be adversely affected.
We have business in a number of countries and regions, which are subject to legal, regulatory, operational and other risks inherent in internal and cross-border operations.
In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the four months ended April 30, 2024 and 2025, our revenue from continuing operations generated from overseas sales was RMB3,106.5 million, RMB3,296.9 million, RMB4,139.7 million, RMB1,184.5 million and RMB1,464.3 million, respectively, representing 59.7%, 58.3%, 59.4%, 57.9% and 59.0% of our total revenue from continuing operations, respectively.
In addition, in July 2021, we entered into an equity purchase agreement in respect of the acquisition of an aggregate of 51% equity interest in Shenzhen Rolling, a limited liability company incorporated in the PRC and principally engaged in overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business, and the relevant acquisition had been completed in November 2022. In July 2024, we disposed of the assets related to Shenzhen Rolling's overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business, which consisted of 100% of the equity

RISK FACTORS
interest in Luxembourg Rolling and certain assets and liabilities of Hong Kong Rolling (together represented all of our operation of overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business segment at the relevant time). We made such disposal primarily in light of the increasingly complex changes in the international market environment and the difficulties and costs associated with navigating such changes. See “History and Corporate Structure—Major Acquisitions, Disposals and Mergers—Acquisition of Shenzhen Rolling in 2022 and Subsequent Disposal in 2024.” We expect to expand further into international markets. We may be further affected by the international market environment in the future and may decide to discontinue or restrict the development our overseas business.
Operating in multiple jurisdictions around the globe and expanding into new markets may subject ourselves to the following risks:
- challenges in providing products, solutions and customer support, in recruiting personnel in international markets and in managing sales channels effectively;
- challenges in commercializing our products and solutions in new markets where we have limited experience with the local market dynamics and no existing or developed sales and marketing infrastructure;
- increased costs associated with maintaining the ability to understand local markets and follow their trends, as well as develop and maintain an effective marketing and distribution presence;
- difficulties in dealing with regulatory regimes, regulatory bodies and government policies, in order to obtain or maintain permits, licenses and approvals necessary to manufacture, market and sell our products and solutions in or to various countries or jurisdictions;
- adverse changes in, or our failure or the failure of our suppliers or customers to comply with customs laws, regulations, tariffs, trade policies and quotas set by the local government and PRC government when we import raw materials and components or export our products and solutions among the different countries or jurisdictions where we do business;
- potentially reduced protection for our intellectual property rights and potential breach of third-party intellectual property rights;
- differences in accounting treatment in different countries and jurisdictions, uncertainties in interpretation and application of tax laws and regulations, more onerous tax obligations and unfavorable tax conditions and foreign exchange losses;
- exposure to litigation or third-party claims in different jurisdictions and inability to effectively enforce contractual or legal rights, and difficulty in obtaining or enforcing legal rights and judgements, including intellectual property rights, and rights to overdue receivables under commercial agreements;

RISK FACTORS
- instability or unavailability of international transportation or logistics services due to macroeconomics, geopolitical and other factors;
- changes in laws, regulations and policies as well as political, economic and market instability, geopolitical risks or civil unrest in the relevant countries and jurisdictions;
- changes in international trade policies and regulations including those in relation to economic sanctions, export controls, and import restrictions, as well in trade barriers such as imposition of tariffs;
- changes in and difficulty in compliance with foreign country regulatory requirements, including data privacy laws, foreign anti-bribery, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering regulations and antitrust laws; and
- unfavorable market conditions, intense competition, unattractive products and services, downward pressure on our selling price and any other inherent risks associated with our international business operations.
We may be subject to the risks associated with international trade policies, geopolitics and trade protection measures, including imposition of trade restrictions and sanctions, and our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Our operations are subject to deterioration in the political and economic relations among countries and sanctions and export controls administered by government authorities in the countries in which we operate, and other geopolitical challenges, including, but not limited to, economic and labor conditions, increased custom duties, tariffs, taxes and other costs and political instability.
In particular, the U.S. government imposed economic and trade sanctions directly or indirectly affecting China-based technology companies. It is possible that the extent and scope of such sanctions may escalate. There is no assurance as to how the U.S.-China trade tensions might develop or whether there will be any changes to the scope and extent of goods that are or will be subject to such export controls, sanctions, tariffs, or new trade policies introduced by the two countries. We cannot predict the implications of the ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions and the resulting impact on our industry and the global economy.
In recent years, the United States has increased export controls restrictions on China through the Export Administration Regulations (the "EAR"), which includes a list of foreign persons on which certain trade restrictions are imposed (the "Entity List"). The export, re-export and/or in-country transfer of items subject to the EAR to a listed foreign person is generally prohibited unless the specified license requirements are met. These restrictions or regulations, and similar or more expansive restrictions or regulations that may be imposed by the U.S. or other jurisdictions in the future, may materially and adversely affect our ability to

RISK FACTORS
acquire technologies, systems, devices or components that may be critical to our technology infrastructure, product offerings and business operations. Any uncertainties and changes in these current or future restrictions or regulations may have a negative impact on our reputation and business. If certain of our customers or suppliers, including our EMS providers, are listed on the Entity List and are subject to restrictions from sourcing or selling technologies, software, or components from or to us, we may not be able to obtain, extend or maintain the requisite regulatory permits in relation to our transactions with these customers and suppliers.
During the Track Record Period, our products and solutions are offered to our downstream customers in China and overseas. However, we cannot assure you that our downstream customers will not engage in the export of their goods incorporating our products and solutions into the U.S. or other countries and regions, and that such export will not be subject to the restrictions introduced by the U.S. or other states and political entities. Furthermore, if we export our products and solutions to other countries and regions which are or become subject to sanctions or export controls, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
In 2025, the United States government announced a series of tariff increases on imports from China. Beginning in February, 2025, a baseline 10% tariff was imposed on all imports from China, followed by successive adjustments in March and April 2025. As of April 11, 2025, the tariff rate on imports from China introduced by the U. S. government had increased to 145%. In response to the tariff tensions initiated by the United States, China implemented a series of measures, including raising tariffs on imported goods of U.S. origin to as high as 125%. On May 12, 2025, following bilateral discussions in Geneva, the United States and China issued a joint statement announcing a temporary easing of trade tensions. Both sides agreed to a 90-day reduction in tariffs, effective May 14. The U.S. reduced its reciprocal tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 10%, aligning with the baseline rate applied to other trade partners. In return, China lowered its retaliatory tariffs from 125% to 10% effective May 14, 2025, by suspending 24% of the retaliatory tariffs for 90 days. On August 12, 2025, China extended the suspension of the 24% retaliatory tariffs for another 90 days. As of the Latest Practicable Date, it remained uncertain how the Sino-U.S. and the global trade tension will develop. In the event that our customers reduce their orders, be such due to a decrease in overall demand of our products and solutions, replacing us with other suppliers, downturn of the macro-economy or other reasons, our business, financial conditions and results of operation will be adversely affected. Also, in the event that we are required to lower our prices to secure orders from our customers, our business, financial conditions and results of operation will be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that our sales to the U.S. in the future will remain unaffected or how our sales will be affected in light of the uncertainties relating to the geopolitical landscape and the development of the trade tension and tariff imposition. Any trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. on our products and solutions may increase our U.S. customers' purchase costs of our products and hence lower our competitiveness.

RISK FACTORS
Furthermore, we have no control over the countries to which the downstream customers will sell or export their end products and solutions. If the export sales of the downstream customers' end products and solutions are restricted, prohibited or made subject to any trade conditions under any international policies or international export controls or economic sanctions imposed by any jurisdictions, the downstream customers' demand for our products and solutions may drop significantly and, as a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
We may not be able to fully maintain quality control over our products and solutions.
The quality of our products and solutions depends on the effectiveness of our quality control and quality assurance protocol, which in turn depend on factors such as the quality of related training programs and our ability to ensure that our employees adhere to our quality control and quality assurance protocol. However, our quality control and quality assurance protocol may not be effective in preventing and resolving deviations from our quality standards. Any failure to execute our quality control and quality assurance protocol could render our products and solutions unsuitable for use within their service life or defective, which may adversely impact our market reputation and relationship with business partners.
In addition, the quality of our products or services provided by our suppliers, including our EMS providers, is beyond our control. We cannot assure you that the products manufactured by our suppliers are safe and free of defects or can meet the relevant quality standards. In the event of any quality issues, we could be subject to complaints and product liability claims and we may not be able to seek indemnification from our suppliers. See “—Our products and solutions may be subject to warranty, indemnity and product liability claims, which could result in significant costs and damage to our business, reputation and downstream customer relationships, market acceptance of our products and solutions, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.” If we engage in legal proceedings against our suppliers, such proceedings may be time-consuming and costly regardless of the outcome. Any such issues may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on a limited number of suppliers for raw materials and the manufacture of our products.
We rely on a limited number of suppliers for raw materials and the manufacture of our products and solutions. During the Track Record Period, the aggregate purchases from our five largest suppliers in each period were RMB3,150.0 million, RMB3,632.2 million, RMB4,524.1 million and RMB1,831.2 million, respectively, accounting for 76.1%, 81.4%, 79.3% and 89.7% of our total cost of goods sold from continuing operations in the same periods, respectively. During the Track Record Period, Purchases from our largest supplier in each period accounted for 34.3%, 40.5%, 34.3% and 54.6% of our total cost of goods sold from continuing operations in the same periods, respectively. For details, see “Business—Our Suppliers—Our Major Suppliers.” We may not be able to maintain our business relationships with our suppliers due to factors such as geopolitical and trade tensions, unsatisfactory quality or significant increase

RISK FACTORS
in the prices of the raw materials and services related to the manufacture of our products. In particular, certain of our suppliers are agents and distributors. See “Business—Our Suppliers—Our Major Suppliers.” Their agency or distributorship relationships may be terminated by the raw material manufacturers for reasons beyond our control. If that happens, we may need to secure alternative sources for the raw materials. Accordingly, if any of our suppliers, especially any of the five largest suppliers, fails to provide raw materials in a timely and satisfactory manner, or terminates their relationship with us during the Track Record Period, and if we are unable to secure alternative sources on a timely basis, our business and results of operation may be adversely affected.
In addition, certain of our suppliers may be subject to various regulations and may be required to obtain and maintain various qualifications, government licenses and approvals in the jurisdictions in which they operate. Their ability to provide sufficient raw materials could be adversely affected by natural disasters, including earthquakes, drought and typhoons, in locations where they operate, disruptions at manufacturing facilities, international trade policies, and geopolitics and trade protection measures, including imposition of trade restrictions and sanctions. See “—We may be subject to the risks associated with international trade policies, geopolitics and trade protection measures, including imposition of trade restrictions and sanctions, and our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.” If any of these suppliers loses its qualification eligibility because of its failure to comply with regulatory requirements, recover from natural disasters and disruptions, or if any of these suppliers is subject to trade protection measures, we may not be able to find alternative suppliers in a timely manner or at all.
Acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances may fail and materially and adversely affect our reputation, business and results of operations.
We may make acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses or technologies that are complementary to our business in the future. The process of identifying and consummating acquisitions, investments, and the subsequent integration of new assets and businesses into our existing business, requires attention from our management and could result in a diversion of resources from our existing business, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our operations. Investments, acquired assets or businesses may not generate the expected financial results, strengthen our competitive position or achieve our goals and business strategy. Acquisitions or investments could require significant cash and result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, goodwill impairment charges, amortization expenses for other intangible assets and exposure to potential unknown liabilities of the acquired business or investment. We may also incur costs and management time on transactions that are ultimately not completed.
In addition, our due diligence may fail to identify all of the problems, liabilities or other shortcomings or challenges of an acquired business, product, technology or investment, including issues related to intellectual property, product quality or product architecture, regulatory compliance practices, revenue recognition or other accounting practices or issues with employees or customers. Additionally, we may be subject to litigation or other claims in connection with the acquired company, including claims from terminated employees, former

RISK FACTORS
shareholders or other third parties, which may differ from or be more significant than the risks its business faces. We may also face retention or cultural challenges associated with integrating employees from the acquired company into our organization. If we fail to identify, consummate, and integrate our acquisitions or investments, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our products and solutions may be subject to warranty, indemnity and product liability claims, which could result in significant costs and damage to our business, reputation and downstream customer relationships, market acceptance of our products and solutions, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our products and solutions are highly complex and may contain defects that affect their quality or performance. Further, as our products and solutions are used in various application scenarios, failure of the systems in which our products are integrated could cause damage to property or people. We may be subject to product liability claims if our products and solutions, or the integration of our products and solutions, cause system failures.
Any product liability claim, whether or not determined in our favor, could result in significant expense, divert the efforts of our R&D and management personnel, and harm our business. In addition, if any of our products contain defects, or have reliability, quality or compatibility problems that cannot be resolved, we may lose existing customers and fail to attract potential customers. Furthermore, our reputation could be adversely impacted in the event of a significant product defect. Given the association of our individual products and solutions with our brand, any issue with one of our products or solutions could negatively affect the demand for other products and solutions of ours or our reputation as a whole, which could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, certain product liability claims may be the result of defects from components provided by our raw material suppliers or through the manufacturing process of our EMS providers. Attempting to enforce our rights against such suppliers may be expensive, time-consuming and ultimately futile. Such suppliers may not be able to indemnify us for the losses resulting from such defects and product liability claims in full or at all. Further, our insurance coverage might be insufficient to fully cover all damages sought and the claiming process might be prolonged. As a result, any material product liability claim or litigation could result in expenses and managerial efforts in defending them and could have a negative impact on our reputation.
Product recall costs and significant return or exchange could adversely affect our business and financial performance.
Generally, we do not accept sales returns except for limited reasons, such as product design defects or quality issues. On average, the value of products returned by customers accounted for less than 0.2% of our total revenue of respective periods during the Track Record Period. We cannot assure you that we will not encounter material product recall, cancellation of orders or become subject to warranty claims due to product defects. If this happens, our

RISK FACTORS
business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. Furthermore, our reputation could be adversely impacted in the event of a material product recall. For example, if we recall one type of our products, such action could negatively affect the demand for other products of ours or our reputation as a whole, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of our operations.
Our business and prospects depend on our ability to build our brand and reputation, which could be harmed by negative publicity regarding us, our Directors, employees, branding or products and solutions. Any negative publicity, whether warranted or not, could adversely affect our business.
We believe that our brand is integral to the success of our business. Since we operate in a highly competitive market, brand maintenance directly affects our ability to maintain our market position. Any loss of trust in our products and solutions could harm the value of our brand, which could reduce our revenue and profitability. The successful maintenance of our brand depends on our ability to provide high-quality and competitive products and solutions, customers' satisfaction with our products and solutions and after-sale services, our ability to maintain and strengthen business relationship with our customers and the increase in brand awareness through marketing activities. In addition, any negative publicity about us, our Directors, employees, brand, products or solutions, whether warranted or not, may adversely affect our reputation and business. Even if it is factually incorrect or based on isolated incidents, such negative publicity could damage our reputation and undermine the trust and credibility we have established with our customers and have a negative impact on our ability to attract new customers or retain our existing customers. If our brand and reputation is damaged, we may face challenges in maintaining our current business relationships with our customers and in entering into new markets, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We depend on EMS providers to manufacture the hardware of our modules and solutions.
During the Track Record Period, we engaged a group of industry-leading multinational EMS providers to manufacture the hardware of our modules and solutions. We had 10, nine, 11 and 10 EMS providers in 2022, 2023, 2024 and the fourth months ended April 30, 2025, respectively. See "Business—Our Suppliers—EMS providers." We cannot assure that our EMS providers will not increase their service prices, deliver defective products, experience delays or shortages in product delivery, or cease operations due to factors such as raw material shortages, shutdowns of manufacturing facilities or natural disasters. Given the complex and proprietary nature of our products and solutions, any disruption at the facilities of our EMS providers could significantly impact our operations. Transitioning to alternative EMS providers would require a substantial amount of time and resources, which could adversely affect our inventory levels.
In addition, our ability to receive a stable and sufficient supply of finished products from our EMS providers could be adversely affected by natural disasters, including earthquakes, drought and typhoons, in locations where our EMS providers operate, disruptions at

RISK FACTORS
manufacturing facilities, international trade policies, and geopolitics and trade protection measures, including imposition of trade restrictions and sanctions. See “—We may be subject to the risks associated with international trade policies, geopolitics and trade protection measures, including imposition of trade restrictions and sanctions, and our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.”
Moreover, increased regulation or stakeholder expectations regarding responsible business practices could increase our compliance costs. Any failure by our EMS providers to comply with such regulations or meet such expectations could result in negative publicity that adversely affects our reputation. Given that we do not directly control the procurement or employment practices of our EMS providers, we could be subject to financial or reputational risks as a result of their conducts. To the extent we are unable to manage these risks, our ability to timely supply competitive products and solutions may be hindered, our costs may increase, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We may be exposed to risks relating to cost fluctuations of raw materials.
Our raw material costs represent a substantial portion of our total cost of goods sold. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the four months ended April 30, 2024 and 2025, raw material costs accounted for 95.4%, 95.8%, 95.5%, 95.4% and 95.7% of our cost of goods sold from continuing operations for the respective periods. We may be subject to fluctuations in the prices of raw materials, as well as in transportation and other necessary supplies or services, due to factors beyond our control, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in the geopolitical environment and economic conditions, natural disasters or changes in the supply and demand for raw materials, transportation and other necessary supplies or services.
For example, the price of memory chips, one of the raw materials we procure, fluctuated in recent years. We cannot assure you that the price of our raw materials will not increase significantly in the future. If that occurs, we may not be able to offset price increases by raising the prices of our products, in which case our profit margin will decrease. On the other hand, if the prices of our products increase significantly, we may lose our competitive advantage in the market. This in turn could result in loss of sales and customers. In both cases, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
We may not be able to protect our trade secrets.
We rely on trade secrets, including unpatented know-how, technology and other proprietary information, to protect our products and solutions and thus maintain our competitive position. However, we cannot guarantee you that an employee or a third party will not intentionally or inadvertently make an unauthorized use or disclose our proprietary confidential information. If a competitor gains access to and makes use of such information, our competitive position will be compromised, in spite of any legal action we might take against persons making such unauthorized disclosures. In addition, to the extent that our employees or business partners use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions.

RISK FACTORS
Furthermore, enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and is using any of our trade secrets is expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. If we fail in prosecuting or defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights. Even if we are successful in prosecuting or defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial financial and human resource costs.
We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our intellectual property and our patent rights could be found invalid or unenforceable if being challenged in court or before any related intellectual property agency in any jurisdiction.
Competitors may infringe our patent rights or misappropriate or otherwise violate our intellectual property rights. To counter infringement or unauthorized use, litigation may be necessary to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of our own intellectual property rights or the proprietary rights of others. This can be expensive and time-consuming, and may divert our management attention and focus on business development. Any claims that we assert against perceived infringers could also result in these parties asserting counterclaims against us alleging that we infringe their intellectual property rights. Many of our current and potential competitors could dedicate substantially greater resources to enforce and/or defend their intellectual property rights than we do. Accordingly, we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property. An adverse result in any litigation proceeding could put our patents, as well as any patents that may be issued in the future from our pending patent applications, at risk of being invalidated, held unenforceable or interpreted narrowly.
Furthermore, depending on the scope of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure. Defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity or unenforceability are common, and can be asserted on numerous grounds. Third parties may also raise similar claims before the relevant administrative bodies in China or other jurisdictions. Such proceedings could result in revocation or amendment to our patents in such a way that they no longer cover and protect our products, solutions or the respective candidates. The outcome following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability is unpredictable.
If third parties claim that we infringe upon their intellectual property rights, we may incur liabilities and penalties and may have to redesign or suspend the sales of products or solutions involved.
The industry in which we operate is patent-intensive. Companies, including us, in this industry routinely seek patent protection for their product designs. Some of our competitors have large patent portfolios with broad rights and may claim that our expected commercial use of our products or solution has infringed their patents. Specifically, these competitors may allege that certain features of our products or solutions fall within the coverage of their patents. Therefore, our competitors may initiate legal proceedings alleging that we are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating their intellectual property rights in connection with the commercialization of our products and solutions.
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
RISK FACTORS
We may not be able to identify or avoid intellectual property infringement activities, primarily because whether a product infringes a patent involves an analysis of complex legal and factual issues and the conclusion of such analysis is often uncertain. For example:
- We may hire employees who have previously worked for our competitors and cannot assure that such employees will not use their previous employers' proprietary know-how, technology and other proprietary information in their work for us, which could result in litigation against us; and
- Our competitors may also have filed for patent protection which is not as yet a matter of public knowledge or claimed trademark rights that have not been revealed through our searches of relevant public records.
Therefore, our efforts to identify and avoid infringement on third parties' intellectual property rights may not always be successful.
Any claims of patent or other intellectual property infringement, regardless of their merit, could be expensive, time-consuming and may divert management attention and internal resources. These claims and the relevant proceedings could diverge management attention and result in substantial financial costs. If our competitors or employees succeed in raising their claims, we may be required to suspend our sales efforts of the relevant products or solutions in controversy, redesign, reengineer or rebrand such products or solutions, pay substantial damages to third parties, or enter into royalty or licensing agreements which may not be available on terms favorable to us.
We are subject to credit risk due to delay in payment and defaults of customers.
We are exposed to credit risks related to delays and defaults of our trade, bills and other receivables due from our customers or related parties in the ordinary course of our business. We typically grant credit terms of one to three months to our customers. As of December 31, 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, our trade receivables were RMB2,235.7 million, RMB1,974.8 million, RMB1,993.4 million and RMB2,071.4 million, respectively. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, our average trade receivables turnover days were 107.1 days, 97.7 days, 86.6 days and 97.3 days, respectively. Fluctuations and extension of trade, bills and other receivables turnover may adversely affect our cash flow and liquidity. See "Financial Information—Selected Balance Sheet Items—Current Assets/Liabilities—Trade and other receivables" for details. We make periodic collective and individual assessment on the recoverability of trade and other receivables based on historical settlement records and past experience as well as current external information, and may provide for impairment when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. If the credit-worthiness of our customers deteriorates or if our customers fail to settle their trade and bills receivables for any reason, we may incur additional impairment loss. We may not be able to recover our trade receivables in a timely manner, or at all. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
Failure to obtain or maintain any of the preferential tax treatments or government subsidies could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition.
We cannot assure you that the policies on preferential tax treatment will not change or that any preferential tax treatment we enjoy or are entitled to enjoy will not be terminated. According to the applicable PRC tax regulations, the statutory corporate income tax rate in the PRC is 25%. We and certain of our subsidiaries were approved as "High and New Technology Enterprises" and, accordingly, enjoy a preferential income tax rate of 15% during the Track Record Period. For details, see Note 9 to the Accountants' Report in Appendix I to this document. If our preferential tax treatments are revoked, become unavailable or if the calculation of our tax liability is successfully challenged by PRC tax authorities, the termination of any of the various types of preferential tax treatment we enjoy could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, during the Track Record Period, we benefited from government subsidies. Some of such government subsidies are non-recurring in nature. We recorded government subsidies under net other income from continuing operations of RMB68.9 million, RMB58.8 million, RMB63.6 million, RMB25.0 million and RMB21.6 million in 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the four months ended April 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. For details, see Note 6 to the Accountants' Report in Appendix I to this document. Any discontinuation, reduction or delay of any government subsidies would have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Fair value change for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We made investments in certain financial products during the Track Record Period and recorded a carrying amount of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") of RMB86.5 million, RMB104.1 million, RMB608.5 million and RMB575.8 million as of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, and April 30, 2025, respectively. Our financial assets consist of cash management products and contingent consideration. See Note 22 to the Accountants' Report in Appendix I to this document for further details. Our financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") were RMB314.1 million, RMB541.7 million, RMB693.3 million and RMB679.9 million as of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, and April 30, 2025. See Note 17 to the Accountants' Report in Appendix I to this document for further details.
We face exposure to fair value change for the financial assets at FVTPL and the financial assets at FVTOCI. Going forward, we may continue to invest in financial products. We cannot assure you that factors beyond our control, such as general economic and market conditions, changes in market interest rates, stability of the capital markets and regulatory environment, will result in fair value gains on the financial products we invest in or we will not incur any fair value losses on our investments in the financial products in the future. If we incur such fair value losses, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. Even if we generate fair value gains, our investments may earn yields substantially

RISK FACTORS
lower than anticipated. In addition, the fair value of these financial products may fluctuate significantly, which contributes to the uncertainties in valuation. Any failure to realize the benefits we expected from these financial products may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.
We may be subject to inventory obsolescence risk.
Our inventories primarily consist of (i) raw materials, (ii) consigned processing materials, (iii) finished goods, (iv) goods in transit and (v) contract cost. As of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, and April 30, 2025, we had inventories of RMB1,096.6 million, RMB1,285.6 million, RMB979.7 million and RMB1,306.2 million, respectively. Failure to adequately manage inventory risks may lead to inventory obsolescence, decline in inventory value or inventory write-offs. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, our average inventory turnover days were 77.0 days, 72.8 days, 62.6 days and 68.1 days, respectively. Any fluctuation and extension of inventory turnover may adversely affect our cash flow and liquidity. See "Financial Information—Selected Balance Sheet Items—Current Assets/Liabilities—Inventories" for details.
In addition, we manage our inventory levels based on market forecast and a first-in, first-out policy and maintain a safety stock level. It may be difficult to accurately forecast demand and determine the appropriate levels of inventory we should maintain. Any change in customer demand for our products or the occurrences of catastrophic events may have an adverse impact on our product sales and business prospects. If the actual demand is lower than our forecast demand, we may be subject to overstock, resale of the inventories at less favorable terms, or even write-downs of inventories. If we are required to lower sale prices to increase the demand for our product sales to reduce inventory level, our profit margins might be adversely affected. If the actual demand is higher than our forecast demand, we may not be able to fulfill all the orders we receive to maximize our revenue. As a result, the market share of our products may be adversely affected. Any of the above may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Failure to fulfill our contractual liabilities could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.
Our contract liabilities primarily arise from advance payments made by our customers to us before we fulfill our performance obligations. Our contract liabilities were RMB67.1 million, RMB49.4 million, RMB27.9 million and RMB44.0 million as of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, and April 30, 2025. See "Financial Information—Selected Balance Sheet Items—Current Assets/Liabilities—Contract liabilities." There is no assurance that we will be able to fulfill our obligations in respect of contract liabilities as the fulfillment of our performance obligations is subject to various factors, including the market demand, the stability of supply and price of raw materials, the quality and price of service provided by and the production capacity of our EMS providers. If we are not able to fulfill our obligations with respect to our contract liabilities, the amount of contract liabilities will not be recognized as revenue and we may have to refund the advance payment made by our customers. As a result, our liquidity and financial condition may be adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
We have granted and may continue to grant share-based awards, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We have established share incentive plans to grant shares to selected participants. We recorded share-based payments of RMB2.1 million, RMB8.8 million, RMB2.1 million and RMB1.4 million in 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, respectively. The fair value of shares granted to participants under the share incentive plan is recognized as an expense over the vesting period, being the period over which all of the vesting conditions are satisfied. The fair value is determined based on the market price of our shares at the respective grant date. We have also established share option schemes to grant options to our employees for the purpose of attracting and retaining talents. All share options will be settled in equity. See Note 36 to Accountants' Report in Appendix I to this document.
We believe such share-based awards are important to our ability to attract, retain and motivate our key individuals, and we may continue to grant share-based awards in the future. As a result, our financial performance and ownership interests of our Shareholders may be affected by the share-based compensation as the expenses associated with share-based compensation will decrease our net profit and the establishment of a new share incentive plan may potentially dilute the ownership interests of our Shareholders. On the other hand, if we reduce the amount of shares or other share-based compensation awards, we may not be able to attract or retain key personnel by offering them incentives linked to the value of our Shares.
If we determine our intangible assets to be impaired, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
As of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, and April 30, 2025, our intangible assets were RMB373.1 million, RMB367.5 million, RMB248.0 million and RMB244.0 million, respectively, which primarily consist of patents, development platform, customer relationships, software and development cost. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are subsequently amortized on straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The amortization period and the amortization method for intangible assets with a finite useful life are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. See Note 2 and Note 20 to the Accountants' Report in Appendix I to this document. If we determine our intangible assets to be impaired, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
The recoverability of our deferred tax assets is subject to accounting uncertainties.
According to our accounting policies, our management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Therefore, actual results may differ from these accounting estimates. As of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, and April 30, 2025, we recorded deferred tax assets of RMB95.1 million, RMB119.7 million, RMB156.6 million and RMB150.8 million, respectively.

THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
RISK FACTORS
Based on our accounting policies, deferred tax assets are recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the historical financial information. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition, other than in a business combination, of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. The realization of deferred tax assets mainly depends on our management's judgment as to whether future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses. If sufficient profits or taxable temporary differences are not expected to be generated or are less than expected, a material reversal of deferred income tax assets may arise in future periods.
Our transfer pricing arrangements may be subject to scrutiny by the relevant tax authorities in the countries and regions where we operate.
During the Track Record Period, we primarily engaged in two types of intra-group transactions, namely (i) intra-group transactions from continuing operations and (ii) intra-group transactions from discontinued operation. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, the amount of intra-group transactions from continuing operations were RMB8,260.5 million, RMB9,293.9 million, RMB15,407.5 million and RMB4,428.4 million, respectively, while the amount of intra-group transactions from discontinued operation were RMB1,195.3 million, RMB1,849.3 million, RMB2,277.0 million and nil, respectively.
Under the applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, arrangements and transactions among related parties may be subject to audit or challenge by the relevant tax authorities. Our global operations are structured through subsidiaries across multiple jurisdictions. See "Business—Transfer Pricing Arrangement." We could face material and adverse tax consequences if the relevant tax authorities determine that the certain intra-group transactions of ours are not conducted on an arm's length basis and consequently adjust any of those entities' income in the form of a transfer pricing adjustment. In the event of a transfer pricing adjustment, our tax liabilities could increase. Furthermore, if we fail to rectify our transfer pricing arrangement within the limited timeframe as required by the relevant tax authorities, the relevant tax authorities may impose late payment interest or surcharge and other penalties on us for any unpaid taxes. In addition, a transfer pricing arrangement may give rise to tax recoverable in certain jurisdictions as a result of tax adjustments. There is no assurance that we could successfully recover the tax recoverable from the relevant tax authorities. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may therefore be materially and adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
We face risks in connection with Third-party Payment Arrangements.
During the Track Record Period, we accepted payments made on behalf of certain customers (the "Relevant Customer(s)") through the accounts of third-party payors designated by the Relevant Customers (the "Third-Party Payment Arrangement(s)"). In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, the number of the Relevant Customers was 12, 13, five and two, respectively. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, the aggregate amount they settled under the Third-Party Payment Arrangements was RMB3.8 million, RMB3.3 million, RMB20.1 million and RMB0.8 million, respectively, which accounted for 0.07%, 0.06%, 0.29% and 0.03% of our total revenue in the same periods, respectively. During the Track Record Period, third party payment arrangements primarily comprise two scenarios: (i) payments from supply chain payment service providers and (ii) payments from employees of the Relevant Customers. During the Track Record Period, payments made under these two scenarios accounted for over 99.5% of the total payments settled under Third-Party Payment Arrangements. For details, see "Business—Legal Proceedings and Compliance—Third Party Payment Arrangements."
We were subject to various risks relating to such Third-party Payment Arrangements, such as (i) possible claims from third-party payors for return of funds as they were not contractually indebted to us and possible claims from liquidators of third-party payors and (ii) potential money-laundering risks as we have limited knowledge about the source of the funds utilized by the third-party payors and their identities. In the event of any claims from third-party payors or their liquidators, or legal proceedings, including civil, criminal or regulatory actions, instituted or brought against us to demand return of the relevant payment or for violation or non-compliance of laws and regulations, we will have to spend significant financial and managerial resources to defend against such claims, legal proceedings or regulatory actions, and we may be forced to comply with the court ruling or order and return the payment for the products that we sold and services that we provided.
If we fail to obtain and maintain the requisite licenses and approvals required in any jurisdiction where we operate, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Under the laws and regulations in PRC and other jurisdictions where we operate, we are required to obtain or complete a number of licenses, approvals, registrations, filings and other permissions for our operation. We may become subject to additional license, approval and other requirements as we develop and expand the scope of our business and engage in different business activities. We may fail to meet such requirements timely or at all, in which case we may be subject to administrative penalties and our ability to expand our business and sustain our growth may be adversely affected.
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
RISK FACTORS
In addition, certain licenses, permits or registrations we hold are subject to periodic renewal. We may not be able to maintain or timely renew our licenses and certificates when their current term expires. Furthermore, due to the evolving interpretation and implementation of existing laws and the adoption of additional laws and regulations, the licenses, permits, registrations or filings we hold may be deemed insufficient by the relevant government. If we fail to apply for, maintain or renew the licenses, permits, or registrations required for our operations, we may be subject to fines and additional penalties. Resolving such deficiencies and enhancing compliance may require additional operational expenses and divert our management attention. Additionally, we may experience negative publicity due to such deficiencies. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all losses or potential claims by our customers, which would affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We face various operational risks in connection with our operations, including but not limited to, operation errors, power outages, equipment failure, cargo transportation, legal proceedings, limitations imposed by environmental or other regulatory requirement, and environmental or industrial accidents and catastrophic events. These risks can result in, among other things, damage to our assets, personal injury or fatalities, monetary losses and legal liability. In addition, we may face risk of exposure to claims when our products or solutions malfunction, resulting in property damage and personal injury. Product liability claims against us could require us to pay substantial monetary compensation. Any of these events may result in the interruption of our operations and subject us to significant loss or liabilities.
We may not have adequate or any insurance to cover such operational risks and risks relating to product liability claims. We cannot assure you that our insurance will be adequate to cover the abovementioned material accidents. If we are held liable for amounts and claims exceeding the limits of our insurance coverage or outside the scope of our insurance coverage, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Even if the amounts and claims are within the limits and scope of our insurance coverage, the insurance provider may not be able to make the compensation payment to us in a timely manner.
We may not be able to obtain additional capital when desired, on favorable terms or at all.
We may need to raise additional capital in the future to further expand our business and sustain our growth. For example, in the four months ended April 30, 2025, we had net cash flows used in operating activities of RMB138.7 million. If we continue to record net operating cash outflows in the future, our working capital may be constrained. As a result, our financial condition may be adversely affected and we may need to raise additional funds. We may raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt related securities, or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions. Our ability to obtain additional capital is impacted by factors including, but not limited to, our market position, future profitability,

RISK FACTORS
financial position, and the general macroeconomic condition in China. We may not be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms, or at all. If additional funds cannot be obtained when needed and on favorable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. Fundraising through the issuance of debt securities or through loan arrangements may contain terms that require significant interest payments, covenants that restrict our business, or other terms unfavorable to us. In addition, to the extent we raise funds through the sale of additional equity securities, our shares will experience additional dilution.
Our information technology networks and systems may encounter malfunction, unexpected system failure, interruption, insufficiency or security breaches.
We rely on information technology systems to conduct and monitor our daily operations, such as internal communication, customer data management, product development, project management and production process. In addition, we store various proprietary information and customer data in these systems. See "Business—Information Technology System" for details. Therefore, our business is dependent upon the continued maintenance and enhancement of our information technology systems.
These information technology systems are subject to certain risks, such as malfunction, natural disasters and malware attacks. Our cybersecurity measures may not timely detect or prevent all attempts to compromise our systems, including distributed denial-of-service attacks, viruses, malicious software, break-ins, phishing attacks, social engineering, security breaches or other attacks that may disrupt the operation of the information technology systems. Any breach of our cybersecurity measure, or malfunction, damages, disruptions or shut down of our information technology systems may result in unauthorized access to our systems, misappropriation of information or data, deletion or modification of customer information, or a denial-of-service or other interruption to our business operations. In cases of malware attacks, we may also be asked to make a lump-sum payment in order to resume the operation of our systems. There is no assurance that we will not be subject to any of these cyber security issues in the future. If we cannot effectively resolve the issues in a timely manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Furthermore, we need to constantly upgrade and improve our information technology systems to keep up with the continuous growth of our operations and business. We may not always be successful in installing, running or implementing new software or advanced information technology systems as required by our business development. All of the above may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

RISK FACTORS
Failure to detect or prevent fraudulent or illegal activities or other misconduct by our employees, suppliers, direct customers and distributors or other third parties may materially and adversely affect our business.
We may be exposed to unethical or unlawful behaviors by our employees, consultants, agents, suppliers, which include our raw materials suppliers and EMS providers, or any other third parties. Such misconducts may include non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations pertinent to mishandling of funds or unlawful kickbacks during our procurement of raw materials or selection of suppliers. We also have little control over third parties involved in unlawful, unethical or anticompetitive conducts targeted at or in connection with our logistics network, operations and other activities, such as non-compliance with laws, or third-party sabotage or allegations intended to harm us. We may incur substantial monetary losses, suffer reputational damage, be subject to administrative penalties and fines, have our licenses and permits revoked, or even be ordered by regulatory authorities to suspend our operations due to misconduct. We may also be required by regulatory authorities in the relevant jurisdictions to allocate significant resources and incur additional costs to prevent or screen any unlawful, unethical or anticompetitive conducts by our employees or third parties.
Our risk management and internal control systems may not be adequate or effective.
We have designed and implemented risk management and internal control systems in relation to our business operations, financial reporting and general compliance which we believe are appropriate for our business operations. See "Business—Internal Control and Risk Management" for details. We cannot assure you that these systems are sufficiently effective in ensuring, among other things, accurate report of our financial results and prevention of fraud. Since our risk management and internal control systems depend on the implementation by our employees, we cannot assure you that our employees or other related third parties are sufficiently or fully trained to implement these systems, or that their implementation will be free from human error or mistakes. If we fail to timely update, implement, and modify, or fail to deploy sufficient human resources to maintain our risk management policies and procedures, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
We may be involved in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes, which could materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to claims, litigation and disputes, various legal and administrative proceedings, and any resulting damages. In addition, agreements we entered into may include indemnification provisions which may subject us to costs and damages in the event of a claim against an indemnified third party. Regardless of the merit of particular claims, legal and administrative proceedings may be costly and time consuming and may divert our management attention.
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
RISK FACTORS
We may be affected by legal or administrative proceedings and claims in the future. If one or more legal or administrative matters were resolved against us or an indemnified third party, we may incur additional expenses to cover compensatory or punitive monetary damages, disgorge any relevant profits, establish remedial measures or comply with injunctions or specific performance. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Failure to comply with the PRC Social Insurance Law and the Regulation on the Administration of Housing Provident Funds may subject us to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions.
Pursuant to the PRC laws and regulations, we are required to participate in the employee social welfare plan administered by local governments. Such plan consists of pension insurance, medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, maternity insurance, unemployment insurance and housing provident fund. The amount we are required to contribute for each of our employees under such plan should be calculated between the minimum and maximum level as from time to time prescribed by national laws and regulations and local authorities. As of the Latest Practicable Date, no administrative action or penalty had been imposed by the relevant regulatory authorities with respect to our social insurance and housing provident fund contributions.
As advised by our PRC Counsel, pursuant to relevant PRC laws and regulations, if we fail to make social insurance contributions in compliance with the relevant PRC laws and regulations in the future, we may be required to pay all outstanding social insurance contributions within a prescribed period, with late fees at a daily rate of 0.05% of the outstanding amount, accruing from the date when the outstanding social insurance contributions are due. If this payment is not made within the stipulated period, the competent authority may further impose a fine of one to three times of the overdue amount on us. In addition, pursuant to relevant PRC laws and regulations, in case of a failure to pay housing provident fund in full, the relevant housing provident fund management center may require us to pay the outstanding amount within a prescribed period. If the payment is not made within such time limit, an application may be made to the PRC courts for compulsory enforcement. If these enforcement actions were taken by relevant authorities, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Failure to renew our leases or comply with PRC property-related laws and regulations regarding certain of our properties and leased properties could adversely affect our business.
We lease properties mainly for office purposes. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had 25 leased properties in China. As of the Latest Practicable Date we had not received real estate ownership certificates or proof of authorizations from lessors of 13 of our leased properties proving their right to lease those properties to us. If the lessor is not the owner of the property and the lessor has not obtained consent from the owner or their lessor for sub-lease, or if the property was mortgaged before it was leased to us, our lease could be invalidated or terminated as a result of challenges by third parties. Our inability to enter into new leases or renew existing leases on terms acceptable to us could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
RISK FACTORS
As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had not completed the lease registration for the vast majority of our leased properties with the relevant land and real estate administration authorities, with a GFA of approximately 23,395 sq.m.. As advised by our PRC Counsel, failure to complete the registration and filing of lease agreements will not affect the validity of the lease agreements. However, we may be subject to fines ranging from RMB1,000 to RMB10,000 if we fail to rectify within the prescribed period after receiving notices from the relevant PRC government authorities.
Our business growth and results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in natural disasters, health epidemics and pandemics, and social disruption and other outbreaks.
Our business could be adversely affected by natural disasters, such as snowstorms, earthquakes, fires or floods, public health hazards, such as the outbreaks of widespread epidemics, public security hazards or other events, such as wars, acts of terrorism, environmental accidents, power shortages or communication interruptions. We cannot assure you that any backup systems will be adequate to protect us from the effects of natural disasters, public health and public security hazards or other events. Any of the foregoing events may give rise to interruption, breakdowns, system failures or internet failures, which may result in the loss or corruption of data, malfunctions of software and hardware, and adversely affect our ability to produce our products and solutions. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
RISKS RELATING TO CONDUCTING BUSINESS IN COUNTRIES WHERE WE OPERATE
Failure to fully adapt to changes in the economic, political and social conditions, as well as government policies, laws and regulations, and industry practice guidelines in the jurisdictions where we operate could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our operations are subject to a number of market, business and financial risks and uncertainties, including those related to geopolitical and economic instability, foreign currency exchange and interest rate fluctuations, competitive product offerings, local product preferences and requirements. Such risks and uncertainties may adversely impact our ability to implement our growth strategy in these jurisdictions.
In addition, factors such as consumer, corporate and government spending, business investment, volatility of the capital markets and inflation all affect the business and economic environment, the growth of the wireless communication module industry and ultimately, the profitability of our business. Any future catastrophes, such as natural disasters or outbreak of contagious diseases, may cause a decrease in the level of economic activities in the respective jurisdictions where we operate. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
RISK FACTORS
Our business is primarily based in China and is susceptible to any policy changes in China affecting the wireless communication module industry and the end markets of our module products and solutions which may materially and adversely affect our business.
Changes in the regulatory requirements concerning the wireless communication module industry and the end markets of our module products and solutions, including the industries of automotive electronics, smart home, consumer electronics and smart retail, may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
For example, the PRC government has promulgated, amended and updated legislation in relation to data security, safety standards, environmental impact and consumer protection. Navigating this changing regulatory environment may require significant adjustments to our products and services to meet new standards, lead to increased compliance costs, or result in operational delays. Additionally, any failure to comply with these regulations could expose us to legal penalties and reputational damage and hinder our ability to operate or expand within the Chinese market. The changes in regulations add a layer of complexity to our strategic planning and could materially affect our business operations, financial condition, and overall growth prospects.
Development in the legal system of certain geographic markets in which we operate could materially and adversely affect us. The legal systems in these geographic markets vary significantly from one jurisdiction to another.
We conduct business in multiple geographic markets that adopt different legal systems. These jurisdictions in which we operate adopt either the civil law system or the common law system. In the civil law system, prior court decisions may be cited for reference and may have limited precedential value. Certain of the laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate are relatively new. Therefore, you may need to assess the level of legal protection we have in many of the geographic markets in which we operate. Any failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources and management attention, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Regulations on currency exchange may limit our foreign exchange transactions, including our ability to pay dividends and other obligations, and may affect the value of your [REDACTED].
Conversion of RMB into foreign currency and remittance of foreign currency out of the PRC under certain circumstances are subject to Chinese foreign exchange regulations. If there are unfavorable changes in exchange rates, or if PRC government implements regulatory policies that limit our ability to convert RMB into foreign currency, we may not have sufficient foreign exchange to meet our foreign exchange needs. Under current PRC foreign exchange regulations, certain current account transactions such as profit distributions, interest payments and trade-related expenses can be conducted in foreign currency without prior approval from the SAFE, as long as certain procedural requirements are met. However, capital account transactions such as capital transfers, direct investments, securities investments and repayment of borrowings are subject to foreign exchange policies and require prior approval from the

RISK FACTORS
SAFE or registration with the SAFE or authorized banks. Any insufficiency of foreign exchange may restrict our ability to obtain sufficient foreign exchange for dividend payments to shareholders or satisfy any other foreign exchange obligation. If we fail to obtain approvals from the SAFE to convert RMB into any foreign exchange for any of the above purposes, our potential offshore capital expenditure plans and even our business may be materially and adversely affected.
Fluctuations in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses.
Fluctuations in exchange rates between Renminbi, Hong Kong dollar, US dollar and other currencies are unpredictable and may be affected by a number of factors, such as economic and political developments. There can be no assurance that Renminbi will not appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the Hong Kong dollar or US dollar in the future. It is difficult to predict how market forces may impact the exchange rates between Renminbi and foreign currencies in the future.
Revaluation of Renminbi may have an adverse effect on your [REDACTED]. For example, to the extent that we need to convert Hong Kong dollars we receive from this [REDACTED] into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of Renminbi against Hong Kong dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into Hong Kong dollars for the purpose of making payments for any dividends on our Shares or for other business purposes, appreciation of the Hong Kong dollar against Renminbi would have a negative effect on the Hong Kong dollar amount available to us. As a result, fluctuations in exchange rates may have an adverse effect on your [REDACTED] in our Shares.
Holders of our H Shares may be subject to PRC income tax obligations.
Under the current PRC tax laws and regulations, non-PRC resident individuals and non-PRC resident enterprises are subject to different tax obligations with respect to the dividends paid to them by us and the gains realized upon the sale or other disposition of H Shares by them. Non-PRC resident individuals are required to pay PRC individual income tax at a 20% rate for the dividends or gain from share transfer derived in China under the Individual Income Tax Law of the PRC (《中華人民共和國個人所得稅法》) and its implementation regulations. Accordingly, we are required to withhold such tax from dividend payments, unless applicable tax treaties between the PRC and the jurisdiction in which the foreign individual or enterprise resides reduce or exempt the relevant tax obligations. According to the Notice of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on Several Policy Issues Concerning Individual Income Tax (《財政部國家稅務總局關於個人所得稅若干政策問題的通知》) issued on May 13, 1994, foreign individuals are exempt from individual income tax on dividends received from foreign-invested enterprises. Pursuant to the Arrangement between the Mainland of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("HKSAR") for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (《內地和香港特別行政區關於對所得避免雙重徵稅和防止偷漏稅的安排》) signed on August 21, 2006, the PRC government may impose tax on dividends paid by a PRC company to a resident of the HKSAR (including natural person and legal entity), but such tax will not exceed 10% of the total amount of the dividends payable by

RISK FACTORS
the Chinese company. If an HKSAR resident directly holds 25% or more of the equity interest in a PRC company, such tax will not exceed 5% of the total dividends payable by the Chinese company. The Fifth Protocol to the Arrangement between the Mainland of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (《<內地和香港特別行政區關於對所得避免雙重徵稅和防止偷漏稅的安排>第五議定書》) issued by the STA effective on December 6, 2019 stipulates that the arrangements or transactions made for the primary purpose of obtaining the above-mentioned tax benefits are not subject to the above-mentioned provisions.
For non-PRC resident enterprises that do not have establishments or premises in the PRC, and for those who have establishments or premises in the PRC but whose income is not related to such establishments or premises, under the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC (《中華人民共和國企業所得稅法》), and its implementation regulations, dividends paid by us and gains realized by such foreign enterprises upon the sale or other disposition of H Shares are typically subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a 10% rate. The Circular on Issues Relating to the Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax by PRC Resident Enterprises on Dividends Paid to Overseas Non-PRC Resident Enterprise Shareholders of H Shares (《關於中國居民企業向境外H股非居民企業股東派發股息代扣代繳企業所得稅有關問題的通知》) issued by the STA, also stipulates that the withholding tax rate for dividends payable to non-PRC resident enterprise holders of H Shares shall be 10%, subject to a further reduction under a special arrangement or an applicable treaty between China and the jurisdiction of the residence of the relevant non-PRC resident enterprise. Despite the arrangements mentioned above, the interpretation and application of applicable PRC tax laws and regulations are subject to the then relevant laws and regulations due to several factors, including whether the relevant preferential tax treatment will be revoked in the future such that all non-PRC resident individual holders will be subject to PRC individual income tax at a flat rate of 20%. If there is any change to applicable tax laws and rules and interpretation or application with respect to such laws and rules, the value of your [REDACTED] in our H Shares may be materially affected.
Any decrease or discontinuation of tax rebate for our exported products may have a negative effect on our profitability.
According to the Notice of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the Value-Added Tax and Consumption Tax Policy for Labor Services of Exported Goods (《財政部、國家稅務總局關於出口貨物勞務增值稅和消費稅政策的通知》) issued by Ministry of Finance and the SAT on 25 May 2012, revised on 9 December 2014 and 20 January 2020, unless otherwise provided by law, export goods and services are subject to the exemption and refund of value-added tax ("VAT") policies. Subject to the relevant PRC laws, we are entitled to a rebate of VAT from the PRC tax authority in connection with our export sales for our products. The tax rebate comprised a refund of VAT incurred on the raw materials we used for production of our products in the PRC, which are subsequently exported to overseas countries. We cannot assure you that the PRC governmental policies on tax rebate will not change or that the current policies we enjoy will not be cancelled. If there is any reduction, suspension, discontinuation or cancellation of tax rebate which may adversely affect the recoverability of our VAT recoverable, our business, financial condition and profitability would be adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
There may be uncertainties in effecting service of legal process and enforcing judgments against us, most of our Directors, Supervisors and senior management.
We are a company incorporated under the laws of the PRC and a majority of our assets and subsidiaries are located in the PRC. The majority of our Directors, Supervisors and senior management reside within the PRC. The assets of these Directors, Supervisors and senior management also may be located within the PRC. It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside the PRC or to enforce against us or them in the PRC any judgments obtained from non-PRC courts.
The PRC does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan or other countries. On January 18, 2019, the Supreme People's Court and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government signed the Arrangement on Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement of Judgements in Civil and Commercial Matters by the Courts of the Mainland and of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (《關於內地與香港特別行政區法院相互認可和執行民商事案件判決的安排》)(the "New Arrangement"). The New Arrangement was issued on January 25, 2024 and came into effect on January 29, 2024, seeking to establish a mechanism with greater clarity and certainty for recognition and enforcement of judgments in a wider range of civil and commercial matters between Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and mainland China. The New Arrangement does not include the requirement for a choice of court agreement in writing by the parties. There may be uncertainties in the enforcement of a judgment rendered by a Hong Kong court in mainland China if the parties in the dispute did not agree to enter into a choice of court agreement in writing. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for investors to effect service of process against certain of our assets or Directors in the PRC in order to seek recognition and enforcement of judgments by non-PRC courts, including a Hong Kong court, in mainland China.
Any failure to comply with relevant regulations regarding the registration requirements for employee share incentive plans may subject our share incentive plan participants or us to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions.
Under SAFE regulations, PRC residents who participate in a share incentive plan in an overseas publicly listed company are required to register with SAFE or its local branches and complete certain other procedures. See "Regulatory Overview—Applicable Laws and Regulations to Our Business in the PRC—Regulations Relating to Overseas Investment." We and our PRC resident employees who participate in our share incentive plans are subject to these regulations as we are [REDACTED] in Hong Kong. We are in the process of registration with the local counterparts of SAFE for our PRC resident employees who participate in our share incentive plans as required under the relevant rules. If we or any of these PRC resident employees fail to comply with these regulations, we or such employees may be subject to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions. We also face uncertainties that could restrict our ability to adopt additional incentive plans for our directors, executive officers and employees under PRC law.

RISK FACTORS
Filing with the CSRC is required in connection with our future offerings, and we cannot predict whether we will be able to complete such filing.
On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released Trial Administrative Measures for Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (《境內企業境外發行證券和上市管理試行辦法》) (the "Trial Measures") and five relevant guidelines, which became effective on March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Trial Measures, PRC domestic companies which, after the overseas offering and listing, offers subsequent securities in the same overseas market or conducts offering and listing in other overseas markets (the "Future Offerings"), shall complete the filing procedures of, and report relevant information to, the CSRC.
Based on the foregoing, for the Future Offerings after the proposed [REDACTED], we are required to comply with the filing procedures of the CSRC. It is uncertain whether we can, or how long it will take us to, complete filings procedures in connection with the Future Offerings. We may be subject to approval, filing or other requirements by other PRC government authorities under the PRC laws in the future. Any failure to complete the relevant procedures may have an adverse effect on the Future Offerings.
RISKS RELATED TO THE [REDACTED]
We will be concurrently subject to [REDACTED] and regulatory requirements of mainland China and Hong Kong.
As our A Shares are listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and our H Shares will be [REDACTED] on the [REDACTED], we will be required to comply with the applicable [REDACTED] rules and other regulatory regimes of both jurisdictions unless an exemption is available or a waiver has been obtained. Accordingly, we may incur additional costs and resources to ensure our compliance with the [REDACTED] rules of both jurisdictions.
Following the [REDACTED], our A Shares will continue to be traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and our H Shares will be [REDACTED] on the [REDACTED]. Under current laws and regulations in China, without the approval from the relevant regulatory authorities, our H Shares and A Shares are neither interchangeable nor fungible. There is no trading or settlement between the H Share and A Share markets. With different [REDACTED] characteristics, the H Share and A Share markets have divergent [REDACTED], liquidity and investor bases, as well as different levels of retail and institutional [REDACTED] participation. As a result, the [REDACTED] performance of our H Shares and A Shares may not be comparable. Nonetheless, fluctuations in the price of our A Shares may adversely affect the [REDACTED] of our H Shares, and vice versa. Due to the different characteristics of the H Share and A Share markets, the historical prices of our A Shares may not be indicative of the performance of our H Shares. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on the trading history of our A Shares when making your [REDACTED] decision in our H Shares.

RISK FACTORS
There has been no prior [REDACTED] for our H Shares, and an active [REDACTED] market for our H Shares may not develop or be sustained.
Prior to the completion of the [REDACTED], there has been no [REDACTED] for our H Shares. There can be no guarantee that an active [REDACTED] market for our H Shares will develop or be sustained after the completion of the [REDACTED]. The [REDACTED] is the result of negotiations between our Company and the [REDACTED] (for itself and on behalf of other [REDACTED] and the [REDACTED]), which may not be indicative of the [REDACTED] at which our H Shares will be [REDACTED] following completion of the [REDACTED]. The [REDACTED] of our H Share may drop below the [REDACTED] at any time after completion of the [REDACTED].
The [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] of our H Shares may be subject to significant volatility in response to various factors beyond our control, including the general market conditions of securities in Hong Kong and elsewhere in the world.
The [REDACTED] of our H Shares may be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to factors beyond our control, including general market conditions of the securities markets in Hong Kong, China, the United States and elsewhere in the world. In particular, the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in mainland China that have listed their securities in Hong Kong may affect the volatility in the [REDACTED] of and [REDACTED] for our H Shares. A number of mainland China-based companies have listed their securities, and some are in the process of preparing for listing their securities, in Hong Kong. Some of these companies have experienced significant volatility, including significant price declines after their initial public offerings. The trading performances of the securities of these companies at the time of or after their offerings may affect the overall investor sentiment towards mainland China-based companies listed in Hong Kong and consequently may impact the [REDACTED] of our H Shares.
Future sales or perceived sales of substantial amounts of our H Shares in the [REDACTED] could have a material adverse impact on the prevailing [REDACTED] of our H Shares and our ability to raise additional capital in the future, or may result in dilution of your [REDACTED].
The [REDACTED] of our H Shares could decline as a result of future sales of a substantial number of our H Shares or other securities relating to our H Shares in the [REDACTED], or the issuance of new shares or other securities, or the perception that such sales or issuances may occur. Future sales, or anticipated sales, of substantial amounts of our securities, including any future offerings, could also adversely affect our ability to raise capital at a specific time and on terms favorable to us. In addition, our shareholders may experience dilution in their holdings if we [REDACTED] more securities in the future. New shares or shares-linked securities issued by us may also confer rights and privileges that take priority over those conferred by the H Shares. Certain amount of the Shares controlled by our Largest Group of Shareholders are subject to certain lock-up periods beginning on the date on which [REDACTED] in our Shares commences on the [REDACTED]. We cannot assure you that they will not dispose of any Shares they may own now or in the future. Market sale of Shares by such Shareholders and the availability of these Shares for future sale may have a negative impact on the [REDACTED] of our Shares.

RISK FACTORS
In addition, while [REDACTED] subscribing shares in the [REDACTED] are not subject to any restrictions on the disposal of the H Shares they [REDACTED], they may have existing arrangements or agreement to dispose part or all of the H Shares they hold immediately or within certain period upon completion of the [REDACTED] for legal and regulatory, business and market, or other reasons. Such disposal may occur within a short period or any time or period after the [REDACTED]. Any [REDACTED] of the H Shares [REDACTED] by such [REDACTED] pursuant to such arrangement or agreement could adversely affect the [REDACTED] of our H Shares and any sizeable sale could have a material and adverse effect on the [REDACTED] of our H Shares and could cause substantial volatility in the [REDACTED] of our H Shares.
The interests of our Controlling Shareholder may not be aligned with the interests of other Shareholders.
Immediately upon the completion of the [REDACTED], without taking into account any Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of the [REDACTED], our Controlling Shareholder will control approximately [REDACTED]% of the voting rights at our general meetings. Our Controlling Shareholder will, through their voting power at the Shareholders' meetings and their delegates on the Board, have significant influence over our business and affairs, including decisions in respect of mergers or other business combinations, acquisition or disposition of assets, issuance of additional Shares or other equity securities, timing and amount of dividend payments, and our management. Our Controlling Shareholder may not act in the best interests of our minority Shareholders. This concentration of ownership may also discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our Company, which could deprive our Shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for the Shares as part of a sale of our Company and may significantly reduce the [REDACTED] of our H Shares.
Our historical dividends may not be indicative of our future dividend policy, and there can be no assurance whether and when we will pay dividends in the future.
We declared dividends of RMB63.1 million, RMB290.0 million and RMB267.0 million in 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. We protect our Shareholders' interest by ensuring a consistent dividend policy. There is no assurance that we will be able to declare or distribute dividends of any amount in any year in the future. Under the applicable PRC laws and regulations, the payment of dividends may be subject to certain limitations, and the calculation of our profit under the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises may differ in certain respects from the calculation under IFRS. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends are subject to the discretion of our Directors, after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, capital expenditure requirements, market conditions, our strategic plans and prospects for business development, regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors as our Directors may deem relevant, and subject to the approval at Shareholders' meeting. Any declaration and payment as well as the amount of dividends will be subject to our constitutional documents and the applicable PRC laws and regulations. See "Financial

Information—Dividends and Dividend Policy” for further details of our dividend policy. No dividend shall be declared or payable except out of our profits and reserves lawfully available for distribution. Our historical dividends should not be taken as indicative of our dividend policy in the future.
Under the existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior SAFE approval by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from or registration with competent government authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. If we cannot obtain sufficient foreign currencies to satisfy our foreign currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our Shareholders. Further, we cannot assure you that new regulations will not be promulgated in the future that would have the effect of further restricting the remittance of Renminbi into or out of China.
You should not place any reliance on any information released by us in connection with the listing of our A Shares on Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
As our A Shares are listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, we have been subject to periodic reporting and other information disclosure requirements in China. As a result, from time to time, we publicly release information relating to us on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange or other media outlets designated by the CSRC. However, the information announced by us in connection with our A Shares listing is based on regulatory requirements of the securities authorities, industry standards and market practices in China, which are different from those applicable to the [REDACTED]. The presentation of financial and operational information for the Track Record Period disclosed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange or other media outlets may not be directly comparable to the financial and operational information contained in this document. Therefore, prospective [REDACTED] in our H Shares should be reminded that, in making their [REDACTED] decisions as to whether to [REDACTED] our H Shares, they should rely only on the financial, operating and other information included in this document.

WAIVERS FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE LISTING RULES
We have appointed Mr. Chen as one of our joint company secretaries. Mr. Chen joined our Group in March 2015 and is our vice general manager and secretary of our Board. Mr. Chen is primarily responsible for overseeing the Board affairs, corporate governance, capital management, investor relations and securities affairs of our Group. Although our Company believes, having regard to Mr. Chen's past experience in handling corporate matters, that he has a thorough understanding of our Company and the Board, he does not possess the requisite qualifications required by Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules. Therefore, our Company has appointed Ms. Yung, who is a Hong Kong resident and possesses such qualifications, to be a joint company secretary to assist Mr. Chen in the compliance matters for the [REDACTED] as well as other Hong Kong regulatory requirements for a period of three years commencing from the [REDACTED]. For the biographies of our joint company secretaries, please see "Directors, Supervisors and Senior Management — Joint Company Secretaries" in this document. Over such three-year period, we will implement measures to assist Mr. Chen to satisfy the requisite qualifications as prescribed in Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules.
Accordingly, we have applied to the Stock Exchange for, and the Stock Exchange [has granted], a waiver from strict compliance with the requirements under Rules 8.17 and 3.28 of the Listing Rules in relation to Mr. Chen's appointment as a joint company secretary pursuant to Chapter 3.10 of the Guide for New Listing Applicants on the following conditions:
(a) Mr. Chen must be assisted by Ms. Yung, who possesses the qualification and experience as required under Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules and is appointed as a joint company secretary throughout the validity period of the waiver; and
(b) the waiver is valid for a period of three years from the [REDACTED] and will be revoked immediately if and when Ms. Yung ceases to provide such assistance or if there are material breaches of the Listing Rules by our Company.
It is anticipated that Mr. Chen will gain experience with the assistance of Ms. Yung. Before the end of the initial three-year period, we will evaluate the then experience of Mr. Chen in order to determine whether the requirements as stipulated in Rules 3.28 and 8.17 of the Listing Rules can be satisfied at the time and on-going assistance would be needed. We would then endeavor to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Stock Exchange that Mr. Chen, having had the benefit of Ms. Yung's assistance for three years, would then have acquired the "relevant experience" within the meaning of Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules so that a further waiver would not be necessary.

Market Size of Edge AI
Edge AI is a technology that deploys artificial intelligence capabilities on various end devices such as sensors and IoT terminals, enabling localized data processing and decision-making. It supports devices to execute AI tasks independently or coordinate in a hybrid manner with the cloud. It can process data at the source, thus reducing latency, enhancing privacy, optimizing bandwidth, and maintaining compatibility with the cloud architecture at the same time. The core differences between edge AI and traditional AI mainly lie in three aspects: First, in terms of deployment architecture, edge AI prioritizes local processing on terminal devices, often with cloud collaboration for model optimization, while traditional AI mainly relies on cloud servers for centralized processing. Second, in terms of data dimensions, edge AI can achieve the integrated application of local real-time sensor data and cloud historical data, whereas traditional AI mainly relies on data in cloud databases for processing. Finally, in terms of application scenarios, edge AI can enable local large model inference and autonomous decision-making, while traditional AI is better suited for handling large-scale data analysis tasks in the cloud. For example, edge AI applications include AI phone, AIPC, and embodied intelligent robot, while traditional AI includes customer behavior analysis in enterprise-level SaaS services and financial risk control modeling. The global Edge AI market has demonstrated explosive growth, expanding from RMB90.2 billion in 2020 to RMB251.7 billion in 2024, achieving a CAGR of $29.3\%$ . This momentum is projected to accelerate further, with the market expected to surge from RMB321.9 billion in 2025 to RMB1,223.0 billion by 2029, reflecting an even higher CAGR of $39.6\%$ . Meanwhile, China's Edge AI market has mirrored this upward trajectory, rising from RMB23.6 billion in 2020 to RMB61.4 billion in 2024. Looking ahead, China's market is forecast to outpace global growth, climbing from RMB80.2 billion in 2025 to RMB307.7 billion by 2029 at a remarkable CAGR of $39.9\%$ . These figures underscore the rapid adoption of Edge AI technologies worldwide, driven by demand for real-time data processing, IoT integration, and decentralized computing solutions.

HISTORY AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE
MAJOR ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSALS AND MERGERS
Acquisition of Shenzhen Rolling in 2022 and Subsequent Disposal in 2024
In July 2021, in order to expand our overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business and further strengthen our overseas market position, our Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") in respect of the acquisition of an aggregate of 51% equity interest in Shenzhen Rolling (a limited liability company incorporated in the PRC and principally engaged in overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business) from Shenzhen Innovation Investment Group Co., Ltd. (深圳市創新投資集團有限公司, "Shenzhen Innovation Group"), Shenzhen Qianhai Hongtu M&A Fund Partnership (Limited Partnership) (深圳前海紅土併購基金合夥企業(有限合夥), "Hongtu LP") and Shenzhen Jianxin Huaxun Equity Investment Fund Management Co., Ltd. (深圳建信華訊股權投資基金管理股份有限公司, "Jianxin Huaxun") (the "Acquisition"). The total consideration for the Acquisition was RMB249.69 million, among which (i) RMB87.89 million was settled in cash on November 25, 2022 and (ii) the remaining portion was settled by way of issuance of an aggregate of 8,370,475 A Shares (representing approximately 1.33% of the total share capital of our Company immediately upon completion of such issuance of 8,370,475 A Shares at the relevant time), which were listed on the ChiNext Board of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on November 29, 2022. The consideration for the Acquisition was determined on an arm's length basis among the parties to the Acquisition Agreement with reference to the appraised value of the total shareholders' equity of Shenzhen Rolling as at March 31, 2021 prepared by an independent valuation institution based on the income approach. Each of Shenzhen Innovation Group, Hongtu LP and Jianxin Huaxun was an Independent Third Party.
Prior to the Acquisition, our Company held 49% equity interest in Shenzhen Rolling. Immediately upon completion of the Acquisition, our Company held 100% of the equity interest in Shenzhen Rolling and Shenzhen Rolling became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and the financial results of Shenzhen Rolling Group were consolidated into those of our Group. After completion of the Acquisition, our Group primarily operated our overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business through Hong Kong Rolling (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Rolling) and Luxembourg Rolling (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Kong Rolling at the relevant time).
Subsequently, in light of the increasingly complex changes in the international market environment and the difficulties and costs associated with navigating such changes, we re-evaluated our strategic direction in international expansion and decided to dispose of our overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business segment operated through Hong Kong Rolling and Luxembourg Rolling in 2024. For further details on the regulatory background and the impact of the Disposal, see "Business — Our Products and Solutions — Discontinued Operation and the Disposal of Shenzhen Rolling." On July 3, 2024, Hong Kong Rolling, as the seller, entered into an equity and asset disposal agreement (the "Disposal Agreement") with EUROPASOLAR S.À R.L ("EUROPASOLAR"), as the buyer and which was an Independent Third Party, in respect of the disposal of the assets related to Shenzhen Rolling's overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business, which consisted of

HISTORY AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE
100% of the equity interest in Luxembourg Rolling and certain assets and liabilities of Hong Kong Rolling (together represented all of our operation of overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business segment at the relevant time) (collectively, the "Disposed Shenzhen Rolling Portion") to EUROPASOLAR at the total maximum consideration of USD150 million (the "Disposal"). Such consideration was determined on an arm's length basis among the parties to the Disposal Agreement with reference to the appraised value of the pro forma total shareholders' equity of the Disposed Shenzhen Rolling Portion on a consolidated basis as at December 31, 2023 prepared by an independent valuation institution by way of the income approach. Among the total maximum consideration of USD150 million, (i) USD96.23 million (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Disposal Agreement) was settled in cash by EUROPASOLAR on July 25, 2024 and (ii) the remaining portion of USD50 million (the "Earnout Purchase Price"), if any, shall be settled in accordance with the following payment schedule and adjustment mechanism as set out in the Disposal Agreement:
(i) first instalment: if the adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, ("EBITDA") of Luxembourg Rolling for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 is equal to or greater than USD30 million (the "First Earnout Payment Condition"), EUROPASOLAR shall pay or shall cause its designated affiliate(s) to pay to Hong Kong Rolling an amount equal to USD10 million within 20 business days after EUROPASOLAR submits the final and binding EBITDA statement with respect to such fiscal year to Hong Kong Rolling (which shall be on or before May 31, 2025) (the "First Earnout Payment");
(ii) second instalment: if the cumulative adjusted EBITDA of Luxembourg Rolling for the two fiscal years ending December 31, 2025 is equal to or greater than USD60 million, EUROPASOLAR shall pay or shall cause its designated affiliate(s) to pay an amount equal to USD20 million minus the First Earnout Payment within 20 business days after EUROPASOLAR submits the final and binding EBITDA statement with respect to such two fiscal years to Hong Kong Rolling (which shall be on or before May 31, 2026) (the "Second Earnout Payment");
(iii) third instalment: if the cumulative adjusted EBITDA of Luxembourg Rolling for the three fiscal years ending December 31, 2026 exceeds USD63 million but is less than USD90 million, the total earnout payment shall be calculated according to the following formula: USD50 million x (the cumulative adjusted EBITDA of Luxembourg Rolling for the three fiscal years ending December 31, 2026 - USD63 million)/USD27 million (the "Total Earnout Payment").
If the Total Earnout Payment minus the First Earnout Payment and the Second Earnout Payment received by Hong Kong Rolling previously, as applicable, is a positive amount, then EUROPASOLAR shall pay or shall cause its designated affiliate(s) to pay such difference to Hong Kong Rolling, or if such difference is a negative number, Hong Kong Rolling shall pay such difference to EUROPASOLAR.

HISTORY AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE
If the cumulative adjusted EBITDA for the three fiscal years ending December 31, 2026 does not exceed USD63 million, then the Total Earnout Payment shall be zero, and Hong Kong Rolling shall pay back to EUROPASOLAR the First Earnout Payment and the Second Earnout Payment received previously, as applicable. In each of the above scenario, the relevant payment shall be made within 20 business days after EUROPASOLAR submits the final and binding EBITDA statement with respect to such three fiscal years to Hong Kong Rolling (which shall be on or before May 31, 2027);
(iv) if the cumulative adjusted EBITDA for the three fiscal years ending December 31, 2026 is equal to or greater than USD90 million, the Total Earnout Payment shall be USD50 million, and EUROPASOLAR shall pay, or shall cause its designated affiliate(s) to pay, to Hong Kong Rolling an amount equal to USD50 million minus the sum of the First Earnout Payment and the Second Earnout Payment received previously, as applicable, within 20 business days after EUROPASOLAR submits the final and binding EBITDA statement with respect to such fiscal year to Hong Kong Rolling (which shall be on or before May 31, 2027); and
(v) if during the period from the closing date of the Disposal Agreement (i.e. July 25, 2024) to December 31, 2026, EUROPASOLAR proposes to sell the controlling interest in Luxembourg Rolling at such sale, EUROPASOLAR shall either (i) pay all undue Earnout Purchase Price so that upon the closing of such sale, Hong Kong Rolling shall receive all Earnout Purchase Price within five business days following the completion of such sales or (ii) cause the purchaser in such sale to assume the rights and obligations relating to the payments of the Earnout Purchase Price or (iii) cause the purchaser in such sale to enter into a new agreement with Hong Kong Rolling regarding the payment of the remaining amount of the Earnout Purchase Price.
Pursuant to a supplemental agreement to the Disposal Agreement dated July 15, 2024 entered into by, among others, EUROPASOLAR and Hong Kong Rolling, it was agreed that the Earnout Purchase Price shall be settled by EUROPASOLAR in RMB pursuant to the designated exchange rate of USD1 to RMB7.30. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the First Earnout Payment Condition had been fulfilled.

Immediately upon completion of the Disposal on July 25, 2024, Luxembourg Rolling has ceased to be our subsidiary and the financial results of Luxembourg Rolling have ceased to be consolidated into those of our Group commencing from July 26, 2024, and we have also ceased to operate any overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business through Shenzhen Rolling Group since then.

Discontinued Operation and the Disposal of Shenzhen Rolling
In-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business refers to the integration of wireless communication modules directly into vehicles during OEM manufacturing to enable low-latency multi-screen interaction within infotainment systems, as compared to after-fit solutions which are installed post-sale and often lack seamless system-level integration. In July 2021, in order to expand our overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business and further strengthen our overseas market position, our Company entered into an equity purchase agreement to acquire an aggregate of 51% equity interest in Shenzhen Rolling, upon the completion of which the our Company held 100% of the equity interest in Shenzhen Rolling and our Group primarily operated our overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business through Hong Kong Rolling (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Rolling) and Luxembourg Rolling (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Kong Rolling at the relevant time).
Subsequently, in light of the increasingly complex changes in the international market environment and the difficulties and costs associated with navigating such changes, we re-evaluated our strategic direction in international expansion and decided to dispose of our overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business segment operated through Hong Kong Rolling and Luxembourg Rolling in July 2024 (the "Disposal").
This decision was mainly driven by increasing regulatory risks associated with the automotive front-fit sector in U.S. Specifically, in August 2023, the U.S. House of Representatives' Special Committee on U.S.-China Strategic Competition issue an open letter to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), requesting information regarding the national security risks posed by wireless communication modules provided by Chinese companies, including companies with shareholders of Chinese background. In March 2024, the White House further announced that the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security ("BIS") would issue an advance notice of proposed rulemaking as part of a national security investigation into connected vehicles originating from the PRC and other countries of concern (the "Advance Notice"). The Advance Notice specifically targets the automotive sector, with a particular focus on connected vehicles—defined as motor vehicles equipped with wireless communication technologies that enable data exchange with other vehicles, infrastructure, and external networks to enhance safety, mobility, and environmental performance. This raised the possibility that wireless communication modules supplied by Rolling, particularly those used in automotive electronics application scenarios, could be added to the FCC's "regulated list," or be subject to potential regulatory restrictions in U.S., which would prevent the certification of new wireless communication module products supplied by Rolling and disrupt its ability to offer products in the U.S. market. Accordingly, in consideration of the potential sector-specific regulatory concerns regarding the in-vehicle front-fit segment, as well as concerns expressed by our customers regarding increasingly stringent U.S. regulatory policies targeting the automotive and automotive electronics sectors, and the corresponding impact on the stability of our product supply, their product deliveries, and the broader implications for their operations, we determined that it was in the best interest of our Group to proceed with the Disposal. This determination was further substantiated by the notice of proposed rulemaking released by the BIS in September 2024 and the final rule

implemented by the U.S. on March 17, 2025 (the "March 2025 Final Rule"), which formally prohibits the import of (i) vehicle connectivity system ("VCS") hardware or connected vehicles containing such hardware and (ii) the import and sale of connected vehicles containing VCS software or software that supports the function of VCS or automated driving systems (the "Covered Software"), when such VCS hardware or Covered Software is designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of the PRC.
During the Track Record Period and prior to the date of the Disposal, based on geographic region of the place of registration of counter-parties to sales contracts, Shenzhen Rolling primarily generated revenue from sales of module products to South Korea and Mainland China, with revenue from sales to the U.S. accounting for less than 5% of its total revenue in each respective year/period. Despite the insignificant proportion of revenue generated from sales to the U.S., the Disposal was driven by two key considerations: (i) the March 2025 Final Rule targets VCS hardware or Covered Software designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of the PRC, regardless of whether such persons primarily sell into the U.S. or whether their products are directly exported to the U.S., and (ii) although Rolling's direct customers are based in South Korea and Mainland China, many of them serve as suppliers to European automotive manufacturers whose vehicles are distributed globally, including in the U.S., thereby creating downstream exposure to regulatory risk. In light of these potential regulatory risks and considering the stability of our international business and the impact on customer relationships, the Company decided to divest the relevant overseas business. This move was aimed at mitigating the risk of significant goodwill impairment, while enabling the Company to protect the interests of both the Company and its shareholders. For details, see "History and Corporate Structure—Material Acquisitions, Disposals and Mergers—Acquisition of Shenzhen Rolling in 2022 and Subsequent Disposal in 2024" in this document.
The impact of the Acquisition and the Disposal on our Group's business and financial performance are mainly twofold. In terms of business operation, besides those operated by Rolling, the Group did not operate overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business before the Disposal. Accordingly, the assets disposed relates to all of the Group's operation of overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business segment at the time of the disposal of Rolling, which affects our Group's wireless communication business, especially in relation to the downstream automotive electronic application sectors. This Disposal did not affect our domestic business operation in in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business segments or other overseas operations.
In addition, our results of operations, including our profit for the year and balance sheet items, were affected by the Acquisition of Rolling and the Disposal of Rolling. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2024 and 2025, profit for the year from discontinued operation amounted to RMB12.6 million, RMB188.2 million, RMB253.7 million, RMB93.5 million and nil, respectively.

We choose to adopt a distributorship model primarily due to (i) the diverse nature of application scenarios of our products and solutions, when distributor coverage provides greater efficiency, and (ii) the ability to leverage distributors' market expertise and established sales networks for effective sales in newly entered domestic and international markets. Our distributors enable us to streamline our administration and efficiently maintain good relationships with customers across various industries by providing localized support and facilitating timely product delivery. This approach also empowers our swift penetration into new markets by facilitating the establishment and expansion of our sales network.

BUSINESS
In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, we engaged 55, 48, 46 and 14 new distributors, respectively, which was in line with our strategy to strengthen distributor network to further penetrate domestic and overseas market. In the same periods, we terminated collaboration with 80, 62, 63 and 53 distributors, respectively, primarily due to strategic optimization of our distributor network to phase out distributors with unsatisfactory sales performance which failed to meet the criteria of our assessment.
Relationship with distributors
We have a seller-buyer relationship with our distributors. Our distributors maintain a "buy-out" model with us. Our distributors buy our products from us and then resell the products to end customers. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of our products, which occurs when the products are delivered to and accepted by our distributors. Our distributors are independently responsible for their own inventory management, any risks arising from which will be taken by our distributors at their own cost.
To the best of our knowledge, we do not have any sub-distributor during the Track Record Period. To the best of our knowledge, during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, all of our distributors were Independent Third Parties. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we have no material unresolved disputes or lawsuits with our distributors.
Selection and management
We select our distributors based on comprehensive criteria, including their distribution network coverage, customer management capabilities, financial stability, logistics infrastructure and compliance track record. We establish sales guidelines for our distributors, covering pricing policies, inventory management, and payment requirements, to ensure they operate in accordance with our market strategies and legal requirements. To maintain transparency and control over sales channels, we require our distributors to provide delivery and sales statistics, allowing us to track the final destination of our products. To prevent cannibalization, we require distributors to report the information of end customers to us for record before entering into sales arrangements with such customers.
We regularly review distributor performance based on their sales volume, customer engagement, and operational compliance, and assess contract renewals accordingly. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we were not aware of any potential abuses or improper use of our name by our distributors which could adversely affect our reputation, business operation or financial condition.

Principal contractual terms
We generally entered into framework distribution agreements with each of our distributors. The key terms of our distribution agreements are set out below:
- Term. The term of the distribution agreement is typically one year, subject to renewal by mutual agreement.
- Designated sales territory. Distributors are authorized to distribute our products in designated regions as specified in the agreement.
- Pricing policy. A fixed price is provided in each purchase order under the framework distribution agreement.
- Payment and credit period. We generally require distributors to make payment before the delivery of our products. Based on the creditworthiness of certain distributors, we may also grant a credit period of 30 to 60 days.
- Purchase amount. The purchase amount is specified in each purchase order under the framework distribution agreement. We do not impose a minimum purchase requirement for the majority of our products.
- Sales target. We determine the incentive amount based on our sales incentive scheme to encourage distributors to fulfill annual sales target and promote the sales of our products. No penalties will be exerted if distributors fail to meet the annual sales target.
- Product returns. We typically do not allow our distributors to return products to us except for limited reasons, such as product design defects or quality issues.
- Product Warranty. We generally provide a warranty period of 15 months.
- Risk transfer. All significant risks, including inventory risks, are transferred to our distributors upon delivery and acceptance, and we retain no ownership control over the products sold to our distributors.
- Termination. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon prior written notice.
Channel stuffing and cannibalization management
To prevent cannibalization, we require distributors to report the information of end customers to us for record before entering into sales arrangements with such customers. If a distributor submits a request to cover an end customer already covered by the other distributor, we will not grant approval to such overlapping coverage. This allows us to monitor their progress and ensure that there is no overlap in customer coverage, thus preventing potential conflicts between distributors.
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
BUSINESS
To manage the potential risks associated with channel stuffing, we implement a variety of management practices designed to ensure that our distributors maintain appropriate stock levels aligned with actual market demand:
- Buy-out model. We supply products to distributors based on individual purchase orders placed on an as-needed basis, consistent with the buy-out nature of our distributor relationships. This approach helps to prevent excessive inventory accumulation, as distributors only order products when there is a demonstrable need.
- Prepayment. We typically require distributors to make full payment prior to the shipment of products. This policy serves to reduce the incentive for distributors to over-order products beyond their actual sales capacity, thereby mitigating the risk of excessive inventories.
Considering that (i) our annual sales targets are non-compulsory and do not result in penalties for failure to achieve them, (ii) our distributors are generally not permitted to return unsold products to us, and (iii) we did not identify any material channel stuffing risks during the Track Record Period, our Director is of the view, and the Sole Sponsor concurs, that we do not have any material channel stuffing issue.
Pricing
We price our products by considering a variety of factors, primarily including (i) customer demands, (ii) raw material costs, (iii) product differentiation and (iv) competitive landscape of the markets. In addition to these pricing factors, we may adopt volume-based pricing strategies to incentivize customers to place larger orders, driving higher sales volumes and optimizing cost efficiencies. We adjust the final pricing based on the specific customer on a case-by-case basis.
Module products
Our module products are not customizable. However, we offer multiple configurations for customers to choose from, including different options for compatibility with different regions and storage configurations. These variations allow customers to select the best fit for their specific needs within the available configurations.
We price our module products based on a cost-plus pricing model, where the price is determined by adding a margin to the raw material and production outsourcing costs. We also take into product differentiation into consideration when pricing our module products as our module products are often equipped with different levels of processing speeds and computing capabilities. For AI model specifically, if software or algorithm integration is required, we apply an additional markup of the hardware cost. This ensures our pricing reflects both the cost of production and the added value depending on the specific product configurations. We also consider the competitive pricing of similar products in the market to ensure our prices remain attractive.

BUSINESS
Solutions
Our solutions are customizable to meet the unique requirements of our customers. Customization may involve adjustments to software, hardware, or both, depending on the scope and nature of the customer's needs. This flexibility ensures that we can cater to a wide range of application scenarios.
Our pricing strategy for our solutions primarily depends on customer demand and the specific application requirements. The pricing is primarily determined by a gross margin pricing strategy, with margins typically up from a specific percentage. We consider several factors, including the cost of customization, research and development investments, resource allocation, and market conditions. If the scope of the solution requires significant customization or integration, at least an additional three month and resources is required, which could affect the final pricing. The price is also adjusted on a case-by-case basis to reflect the specific requirements and scale of the customer's project.
Others
For the sales of complementary electronic components and the provision of IoT connection services, we generally price our products and services based on comparable offerings in the market. We take into account market conditions, customer demand, and industry standards to ensure that our prices are competitive while reflecting the quality and value of the products and services provided.
Marketing
Our marketing efforts focus on identifying market opportunities, developing sales strategies and maintain customer relationships through regular communication. As of April 30, 2025, our sales and marketing team consisted of 237 employees.
To drive sustainable business growth, we have adopted a customer base expansion marketing strategy that focuses on both strengthening relationships with existing key customers and continuously acquiring new customers and business lines. We expand our customer base through joint R&D initiatives, industry partnerships and market outreach such as industry exhibitions. Additionally, we launched our flagship online store in 2025 on third-party e-commerce platforms, expanding our marketing platforms for potential customers to more quickly locate our products and solutions. In particular, as we advance AI modules and Edge AI solutions, we are actively targeting AI-powered devices, robotics and other emerging market segments to further broaden our customer network and establish long-term growth opportunities.

In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2024 and 2025, the following table set forth our average procurement price (VAT exclusive) of baseband chips, radio frequency chips and memory chips:
| Year ended December 31, | Four months ended April 30, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2024 | 2025 | |
| RMB | RMB | RMB | RMB (Unaudited) | RMB | |
| Baseband chips | 46.4 | 47.2 | 42.6 | 33.7 | 48.7 |

| Memory chips | 62.0 | 46.6 | 51.7 | 43.1 | 51.0 |
During the Track Record Period, we did not experience raw material price fluctuations that materially affected our business operations. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, the average procurement price (VAT exclusive) of radio frequency chips remained relatively stable. During the Track Record Period, the average procurement price (VAT exclusive) for memory chips experienced moderate fluctuations. From the four months ended April 30, 2024 to the four months ended April 30, 2025, the average procurement price of baseband chips increased from RMB33.7 to RMB48.7, while the average procurement price of radio frequency chips increased from RMB10.4 to RMB12.9. This increase was primarily due to a shift in our product mix, driven by a higher sales proportion of smart modules used in smart home application scenarios,

BUSINESS
which require the procurement of baseband and radio frequency chips at higher prices. In the same period, the average procurement price of memory chips increased from RMB43.1 to RMB51.0, primarily due to market price increase of memory chips in the same period. Nevertheless, these fluctuations had limited impact on our profitability as demonstrated by the increase in our net profit during the Track Record Period. Our profit for the year from continuing operations increased by 7.0% from RMB352.3 million in 2022 to RMB376.8 million in 2023, increased by 12.3% to RMB423.2 million in 2024, and further increased by 14.6% from RMB139.9 million in the four months ended April 30, 2024 to RMB160.3 million in the four months ended April 30, 2025. For further details, see "Financial Information—Results of Operations—Continuing Operations."
We actively manage our chip inventory to ensure efficiency and minimize potential price fluctuation and obsolescence risks. Through regular monitoring and strategic inventory control measures, we work to reduce the impact of technological advancements and market demand shifts on our chip stock. We categorize inventory as obsolete when the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its purchase cost, considering factors such as market conditions, product quality issues, and customer cancellations of orders. We define inventory obsolescence rate as the ratio of the provision for inventory impairment to the net ending inventory for the respective year or period. As of December 31, 2022, 2023, 2024 and April 30, 2025, the obsolescence rate of our chip inventories amounted to 0.4%, 0.6%, 2.3%, and 1.3%, respectively.
Supply chain stability management
The availability, quality, and pricing of our major raw materials have a direct impact on our production processes and product offerings. In addition, pricing fluctuations in key raw materials, including chips, may arise due to factors such as global and domestic economic conditions, supply-demand dynamics, government regulations, and geopolitical events.
Impact of global chip supply crunch in 2022
From late 2021 through 2022, the global semiconductor industry experienced supply shortages, driven by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, increased demand from the downstream sectors, and widespread supply chain disruptions. Specifically, the persistent COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted semiconductor manufacturing, with major foundries worldwide experiencing periodic shutdowns, reduced workforce attendance, and logistics delays. In addition, explosive demand growth emerged downstream, fueled by trends including widespread remote work adoption, accelerated 5G infrastructure deployment, and the electric vehicle boom, which dramatically increased chip requirements for smart modules and communication equipment, worsening the supply-demand imbalance. Fractured global supply chains also triggered dramatic price surges for critical chip materials and extended lead times, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of "shortage-hoarding-worsening shortage" that ultimately escalated into an industry-wide systemic crisis. These factors contributed to a global chip shortage, impacting numerous industries, including the global communication module industry in which we operate.

BUSINESS
Despite this challenge, Our Director is of the view that the impact of the chip supply crunch on our overall business and financial performance was minimal due to the following measures implemented to mitigate the chip supply crunch on our business operations:
(i) Alternative suppliers. We maintained long-term access to alternative suppliers, mitigating potential disruptions in the supply chain.
(ii) Diversified supplier base. We adhered to a competitive strategy with a diversified supplier base and signed strategic agreements to ensure stability in delivery and cost management. This approach has supported the continuity of operations despite global supply chain challenges.
(iii) Continual monitoring. We continuously monitors supplier delivery performance and adjusts procurement and inventory strategies as needed to dynamically align with shifts in market demand and operational requirements, which allow us to maintain efficiency and mitigate risks to supply chain stability.
In light of the above, and considering our continual sales and revenue growth from 2021 to 2022, our Director is of the view that the global chip supply crunch in 2022 did not have a material impact on our business operations and financial performance.
Supply chain stability measures
To safeguard against potential supply disruptions and price volatility, we have implemented several measures to stabilize the procurement of chips and other critical raw materials:
-
Diversifying our supplier base. We have established a diverse and competitive supplier network, avoiding dependence on a single supplier and reducing supply chain risks. This allows us to secure a consistent supply of chips and reduce the impact of potential supply shortages.
-
Building safety stock. Based on production plans and the stability of raw material supplies, we maintain an appropriate level of safety stock to mitigate supply disruptions. We regularly assess and adjust inventory levels based on market demand and the supply situation.
-
Long-term supply agreements. We have entered into long-term supply contracts with key chip suppliers to secure a stable supply. These agreements provide us with predictable procurement volumes and pricing, reducing the uncertainty associated with fluctuating chip prices.
-
Supplier relationship management. We actively manage relationships with our suppliers through regular communication to stay informed about their production capacities, supply conditions, and any potential challenges they might face. This helps us to proactively address any issues that could affect chip supplies.

Procurement Management
We formulate our procurement plans dynamically, taking into account historical demand, sales forecasts, inventory levels, R&D needs, and market expansion strategies. For sample products and trial production, internal departments such as sales, R&D, quality control, and supply chain submit purchase requests, which are reviewed and approved before procurement. For mass production, our supply chain department provides a detailed material requirement plan, which is then executed by the procurement team. All materials undergo quality inspections prior to warehousing, ensuring compliance with our strict standards.
Our procurement process generally includes three phases, namely, procurement planning, product manufacturing and testing and delivery.
- Procurement planning. Our procurement team develops procurement plans based on sales projections from our sales and marketing team and project demand. We also consider inventory levels and the production schedules of our EMS providers.
- Product manufacturing and testing. Once procurement plans are finalized, we place purchase orders to raw material suppliers and EMS providers pursuant to procurement plans. Raw material suppliers deliver raw materials to our designated EMS providers, who then manufacture module products and solutions according to our specifications. Upon completion, the EMS providers conduct testing, inspection, and warehouse the products. Our on-site quality control team closely monitors and manages the entire process to ensure adherence to our quality standards.
- Delivery. After passing inspection, the finished products are delivered to the warehouse provided by EMS providers. We then arrange logistics based on the customer's required timing and location to ensure timely delivery to the customer.
To mitigate supply chain risks and price volatility, we closely monitor raw material costs through market trend analysis, supplier negotiations, and periodic price assessments. We strategically adjust inventory levels based on anticipated price fluctuations, ensuring an optimal balance between cost control and supply stability. For further details of our inventory management, see “—Logistics and Inventory Management.”
During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we did not experience quality issues or shortages with our procurement that materially affected our operations. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had not adopted any hedging policies for fluctuations in the prices of raw materials.

OUR SUPPLIERS
Raw Material Suppliers
We procure baseband chips, radio frequency chips, memory chips and other electronic components from globally recognized semiconductor manufacturers and their authorized distributors. We generally enter into framework agreements with raw material suppliers, which set forth the general terms and conditions of purchase. Salient terms of the framework supply agreements with our raw material suppliers typically include:
- Term. We generally enter into framework agreements without a fixed term, which may be terminated by either party through written notice.
- Scope of Supply: The framework agreements generally do not specify quantity, price and payment terms, which we set out in separate purchase orders.
- Product specifications. We specify the product specification, price, quantity, delivery timeline and other detailed items in each purchase order we send to our suppliers.
- Logistics. The suppliers are typically responsible for the delivery of products to our designated location specified in each purchase order.
- Risk Transfer. The risk transfers to us after we complete inspection and confirm receipt of the products.
- Quality Assurance. Suppliers generally grant a warranty period of two years. In the event of a quality issue arising during the warranty period, the supplier is obliged to provide a response and resolution or attend to our site to resort the issue.
- Product return. We have the right to reject, replace or return products which are non-conforming with product quality standard, product specifications or quantity with the order placed.
- Termination. We are entitled to terminate the agreement upon written notice at least 30 days in advance.
Sourcing of Raw Materials
During the Track Record Period, we primarily source our raw materials from overseas distributors, with the majority being of Taiwan, China origin. During the Track Record Period, the raw materials we procured of U.S. origin primarily included memory chips and radio frequency chips. Our Directors are of the view, and the Sole Sponsor concurs, that our Group

BUSINESS
has not experienced, nor is it expected to experience, any procurement restrictions or shortages as a result of the ongoing Sino-U.S. trade tension, including relevant U.S. export control restrictions, for the following reasons:
-
Insignificant proportion of sourced raw materials of U.S. origin. During the Track Record Period, raw materials we procured of U.S. origin represented an insignificant proportion of our cost of goods sold. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, our purchase amount of raw materials of U.S. origin, based on statistics provided by our third-party supply chain service providers responsible for custom clearances of our sourced raw materials, was RMB0.01 million, nil, RMB0.4 million and RMB0.1 million, respectively. During the Track Record Period, our purchase amount of raw materials of U.S. origin accounted for less than 0.01% of our cost of goods sold from continuing operations. To the best of our Directors' information and knowledge after making reasonable inquiries, including seeking advice from our legal advisor as to U.S. export control, raw materials of U.S. origin are subject to the U.S. export control regulations; nevertheless, considering that raw materials of U.S. origin procured by us are not advanced—node integrated circuits or integrated circuits with high total processing performance or high performance density governed by ECCN 3A090 which are subject to tighter U.S. controls, our procurement of raw materials of U.S. origin during the Track Record Period did not violate U.S. export control regulations. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, there has been no instance where the procurement of raw materials of U.S. origin required our suppliers to obtain export control licenses under applicable U.S. regulations. In addition, according to Frost & Sullivan, there are alternative domestic suppliers capable of providing raw materials with comparable terms, pricing and quality to those of U.S. origin. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we have identified alternative suppliers that meet such criteria. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we have not experienced any material adverse changes in our procurement strategy, procurement volume, pricing, payment or logistic arrangements, nor have we received any requests from our suppliers to cancel orders or suspend procurement due to the potential restrictions under U.S. export control regulations. Accordingly, we do not expect the potential restrictions under U.S. export control regulations to pose a material adverse impact on our supply chain stability, business operations and financial performance.
-
Limited reliance on U.S. Suppliers. Our supply chain is structured to minimize reliance on U.S. suppliers. Among our five largest suppliers in each period during the Track Record Period, the vast majority are distributors or manufacturers in the electronics industry and are based outside U.S. Accordingly, we do not expect the potential disruptions, including those arising from Sino-U.S. trade tensions, to pose a material adverse impact on our procurement strategy and business operations. In addition, there are competitive alternatives to the raw materials of U.S. origin. These alternatives are readily available with competitive pricing supplied by domestic suppliers and we have established close business relationship with these suppliers

during the Track Record Period. We also plan to further diversify our supplier base to reduce exposure to any regional or geopolitical risks and collaborate with high-quality global suppliers to ensure the resilience and efficiency of our supply chain.
In response to the potential impacts arising from Sino-U.S. trade tensions, we have implemented a series of mitigation measures:
-
Mitigating U.S. export tariffs. We have collaborated with EMS providers operating in jurisdictions not subject to heightened U.S. tariff. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had two overseas EMS providers. Both EMS providers are operating in jurisdictions not subject to heightened U.S. tariff. Our Director is of the view that, the overseas EMS supplier we have identified is professional electronics manufacturing service providers able to produce module products and solutions that meet our quality standards and that collaboration with such EMS provider will help reduce the impact of U.S. tariffs on us. This strategy allows us to maintain profit margins and customer loyalty while bypassing tariffs by shifting our logistics and manufacturing footprint to more favorable jurisdictions.
-
Mitigating tariffs imposed by China on U.S. goods. If any of our key raw materials of U.S. origin are subject to Chinese tariff in the future, we plan to (i) engage factories in comprehensive bonded zones in China for production and (ii) utilize our overseas subsidiary to purchase raw materials and sell products, while engaging qualified domestic manufacturers to process the raw materials we supply, thereby mitigating the impact of tariffs imposed by China on U.S.-origin goods.
-
Avoid raw materials of U.S. origin. We have requested our suppliers to provide materials manufactured outside the U.S, thereby limiting potential disruptions by export control restrictions or tariffs. This strategy reduces our reliance on raw materials subject to sudden price hikes or export restrictions due to uncertain Sino-U.S. trade tension. By diversifying our sources of raw materials, we can better safeguard against potential supply chain bottlenecks, ensuring a more stable and cost-effective production process.
-
Enhance use of domestically sourced raw materials. As part of our long-term strategy, we are gradually increasing the use of domestically sourced raw materials, seeking to further reduce exposure to tariff-related risks and enhance the stability of our supply chain. This strategy enables us to decrease our vulnerability to geopolitical uncertainties and enhances the overall stability of our supply chain. By shifting towards local suppliers, we mitigate immediate risks associated with tariff volatility and strengthen the resilience of our supply chain, ensuring long-term sustainability and operational flexibility.

Salient terms of the supply agreements with our EMS providers typically include:
- Scope of supply: EMS providers primarily handle manufacturing of module products and offer related technical services, including assembling, testing, repair, packaging and shipping.
- Term and Termination: We typically enter into framework agreement with a term of three years, which may be automatically renewed unless otherwise terminated by mutual agreement. The framework agreements set out the general terms and conditions of cooperation. Individual purchase orders are then executed on a per-need basis.
- Capacity Planning & Line Reservation. Each year, we provide EMS providers with estimated annual production capacity needs based on our business plan and supplier strategy. We also release rolling monthly forecasts to adjust production planning dynamically. Certain EMS providers are also required to reserve manufacturing capacity for us for a defined period, subject to periodic adjustments.
- Pricing and Payment Terms. Prices are determined based on production complexity, volume, and market conditions, with payments structured through pre-agreed terms. We are generally granted by our suppliers a credit period of 30 – 90 days.
- Logistics. EMS providers are responsible for timely delivery of our products.
- Quality Assurance and Warranty. EMS providers must meet our specified quality requirements and are responsible for liabilities resulting from product defects. EMS providers typically offer us a warranty period of two years from the production date.

Supplier Management
During the Track Record Period, our suppliers primarily consisted of (i) raw material suppliers, and (ii) EMS providers. We typically engage reputable suppliers with proven track records to ensure the quality of our products.
We have established a comprehensive supplier management system to ensure supply chain stability, cost efficiency, and quality compliance. Our supplier lifecycle management covers the entire engagement process, including selection, evaluation, performance tracking, and potential disengagement. We consider a comprehensive set of factors when selecting suppliers, which mainly include cost competitiveness, delivery reliability, quality assurance, and technical capabilities. New suppliers must undergo rigorous qualification processes, including registration, capability assessment, material certification, on-site inspections, and contractual agreements before being included in our approved supplier list. Existing suppliers are subject to quarterly and annual performance reviews, which classify them into different categories based on performance. Suppliers that fail to meet performance expectations may be subject to corrective action plans, reduced procurement volumes, or contract termination. In addition, we conduct regular supplier training programs to enhance their understanding of product quality, corporate social responsibility, and compliance requirements.
We also incorporate environmental and social performance metrics into the selection, approval, and regular re-evaluation of suppliers to promote quality, safety, and environmental sustainability. We require suppliers to hold key certifications, including ISO 9001. Suppliers with certifications such as ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and QC 080000, are prioritized in our evaluation process. We developed and continuously updated our standard supplier social quality assurance agreement, setting out specific ESG requirements. In 2024, 100.0% of our suppliers have signed this agreement. Social responsibility management requirements are set for each critical stage, with annual audits conducted for all suppliers. We require suppliers to adhere to the latest environmental management regulations and provide relevant testing reports periodically.
Our Major Suppliers
During the Track Record Period, purchases from our five largest suppliers in each period amounted to RMB3,150.0 million, RMB3,632.2 million, RMB4,524.1 million and RMB1,831.2 million, respectively, representing 76.1%, 81.4%, 79.3% and 89.7% of our total cost of goods sold from continuing operations, respectively. In addition, during the Track Record Period, purchases from our largest supplier in each period accounted for 34.3%, 40.5%, 34.3% and 54.6% of our total cost of goods sold from continuing operations in the same periods, respectively. All of our five largest suppliers were Independent Third Parties during the Track Record Period.
None of our Directors and their respective associates or our Shareholders who hold more than 5% of our total issued Shares had any interest in our five largest suppliers during the Track Record Period. Additionally, we did not experience any material disputes with our suppliers during the Track Record Period.

Relationship with Supplier A
During the Track Record Period, we primarily purchase baseband chip, radio frequency chip and power management chips from Supplier A. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, purchases from Supplier A accounted for 34.3%, 40.5%, 34.3% and 54.6% of our total cost of goods sold from continuing operations, respectively. Supplier A is a merchant wholesaler in the technology and electronics industry, primarily engaged in the distribution of electronic components, computer hardware and software. We started business collaboration with Supplier A in 2016. During the Track Record Period, purchases from Supplier A accounted for a relatively high proportion of our total cost of goods from continuing operations, primarily due to our long-standing relationship with Supplier A.
We consider our relationship with Supplier A remains stable, and we do not have material reliance on this supplier, primarily due to the following reasons:
(i) Market-driven collaboration. Our procurement from Supplier A is driven by market conditions and is based on mutually agreed, commercially competitive terms. These terms allow us to evaluate in advance and swiftly adjust our sourcing strategy as market conditions change.
(ii) Distributorship background. Supplier A serves as a distributor rather than a manufacturer of electronic components, including baseband chips and radio frequency chips. As a distributor, Supplier A does not have exclusive control the supply of these key raw materials, and there are a sufficient number of alternative suppliers in the market who also distribute these components, which enable us to source these materials from other suppliers with comparable quality and reliability.
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
BUSINESS
(iii) Diversification and non-exclusivity. During the Track Record Period, we have not relied exclusively or primarily on Supplier A for the procurement of key raw materials. We have the flexibility to procure from the original manufacturer or its other authorized distributors similar chips or chips with equivalent configurations. As we are not bound to make purchases from Supplier A, we maintain flexibility in raw material sourcing and supplier selection.
In order to maintain flexibility and mitigate any risks related to reliance on a single supplier, we also continue to diversify our supply chain by maintaining a pool of alternative suppliers and conducting regular evaluations. Specifically, our measures include (i) regular assessment of alternative suppliers to evaluate their product quality standards, delivery schedules, and capacity requirements, (ii) reviewing the operational and logistical integration of alternative suppliers into our supply chain to ensure compatibility and minimize disruptions in cases of transitions, (iii) regular examination of processes to help facilitate efficient transitions without impacting product quality, delivery timelines, or pricing stability, and (iv) continuous monitoring of the performance of alternative suppliers to adapt sourcing strategies in response to shifting market dynamics. In addition, according to F&S, there are other readily available alternative suppliers to Supplier A in the market with sufficient capacity and supply of baseband chips, radio frequency chips and power management chips at comparable terms, price levels and with equivalent product quality. Accordingly, our Directors are of the view that there are alternative suppliers in the market with sufficient capacity and supply to provide us with key raw materials under comparable terms, pricing, and product availability.
OVERLAPPING CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
During the Track Record Period, some of our top five customers were also our suppliers, and certain of our top five suppliers were also our customers, details of which are explained below.
Customer B
Customer B, one of our top five customers in 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, was also our supplier in the same periods. This is because Customer B is a leading multinational conglomerate in the consumer electronics and new energy vehicle industry and has a widely diversified product and service offering as well as business needs. Customer B does not engage in the design or development of module products, as (i) the research and development of such products involve significant costs and technical barriers, and (ii) Customer B's core business lies in NEV system integration and electric vehicle assembly. As a result, it is not commercially economical for Customer B to undertake the design and development of module products. Our sales to Customer B during the Track Record Period were neither conditional upon nor related to our purchases from them in the same periods.
- During the Track Record Period, we engaged Customer B as our EMS provider, manufacturing the hardware of our module products and solutions, while we mostly sold smart modules and provided software development services to Customer B for use in the intelligent cockpit systems of Customer B's vehicles.

Negotiations of the terms of our sales to and purchases from the overlapping customers or suppliers mentioned above were all conducted on an individual basis and the sales and purchases were neither inter-connected nor inter-conditional with each other. Our Directors confirmed that all of our sales to and purchases from the overlapping customers or suppliers mentioned above were conducted in the ordinary course of business under normal commercial terms and on an arm's-length basis.
RECENT REGULATIONS IN RELATION TO TARIFFS
Tariff Policies
In early 2025, the U.S. government initiated a series of escalating tariffs and trade policies primarily targeting China, leading to retaliatory measures from China. For details of (i) the changes in policies issued by the U.S. in relation to imports from China and (ii) the changes in policies issued by China in relation to imports of U.S. origin, see "Regulatory Overview—U.S. and China Tariff Policies."
During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, our products and solutions directly exported to the U.S. were generally subject to the following U.S. tariffs (the "Applicable U.S. Tariffs"):
- In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and from January 1, 2025 to February 3, 2025: Our products and solutions were generally subject to a 25% U.S. tariff.
- From February 4, 2025 to March 3, 2025: Our products and solutions were generally subject to a 35% U.S. tariff, which included (i) the 25% U.S. tariff and (ii) the 10% tariff imposed on February 4, 2025.
-
From March 4, 2025 to the Latest Practicable Date: Our products and solutions were generally subject to a 45% U.S. tariff, which included (i) the 25% U.S. tariff, (ii) the 10% tariff imposed on February 4, 2025 and (iii) the 10% tariff imposed on March 4, 2025. Our products and solutions were generally exempt from the reciprocal tariff effective on April 5, 2025.

During the Track Record Period, the raw materials we procured of U.S. origin primarily included memory chips and radio frequency chips. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, the radio frequency chips we procured of U.S. origin were exempt from tariffs imposed by China on imports of U.S. origin. During the Track Record Period and up to April 10, 2025, the memory chips we procured of U.S. origin were exempt from tariffs imposed by China on imports of U.S. origin. From April 10, 2025 to the Latest Practicable Date, such imports became subject to a 10% reciprocal tariffs imposed by China on imports of U.S. origin.
Specifically:
In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and from January 1, 2025 to April 9, 2025, as advised by our PRC Legal Advisor, according to Customs Tariff of the People's Republic of China (2022) (“《中華人民共和國進出口稅則(2022)》”), the raw materials we procured of U.S. origin were exempt from tariffs imposed by China.
From April 10, 2025 to April 11, 2025, China imposed a series of reciprocal tariffs that increased its tariffs on imports of U.S. origin to 84%. From April 12, 2025 to May 11, 2025, China further raised its reciprocal tariffs and increased the tariffs on imports of U.S. origin to 125%. Products that were shipped prior to the start of April 10, 2025 and imported between April 10, 2025 and May 13, 2025 were exempted from the increased tariffs. On May 13, 2025, China lowered its reciprocal tariffs to 10%, effective May 14, 2025, by suspending 24% of the retaliatory tariffs for 90 day. On August 12, 2025, China extended the suspension of the 24% retaliatory tariffs for another 90 days.
As to baseband chips and radio frequency chips, from April 24, 2025 to the Latest Practicable Date, the baseband chips and radio frequency chips we procured of U.S. origin during our ordinary course of business were exempt from Chinese tariffs. As to memory chips, from April 10, 2025 to the Latest Practicable Date, we procured memory chips of U.S. origin of RMB6.2 million and incurred aggregate Chinese tariffs of approximately RMB0.6 million imposed on imports of U.S. origin.
Subject to the interpretation of the "U.S. origin" of these raw materials under the new tariff regime, we may incur additional costs in these purchases going forward.

Impact Assessment
Exports
On export side, our Directors are of the view, and the Sole Sponsor concurs, that the Applicable U.S. Tariffs would not have a material and adverse impact on our business and results of operations, for the following reasons:
- We make limited direct exports to the U.S. Our Directors, having consulted with our legal advisor as to U.S. tariffs, are of the view that the Applicable U.S. tariffs only apply to products directly shipped to the U.S. Pursuant to our direct sales agreements and distribution agreements, we are responsible for the tariffs imposed by the U.S. on importing goods into the U.S. only when we export products and solutions directly into the U.S.. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, the revenue from continuing operations of our products and solutions directly shipped to the U.S. by us was RMB0.2 million, RMB5.4 million, RMB41.4 million and RMB32.9 million, respectively, representing approximately 0.0%, 0.1%, 0.6% and 1.3% of our revenue from continuing operations for the same periods, respectively. See “—Sales, Marketing and Distribution—Our Sales Network” for our revenue by geographical regions of the place of delivery during the Track Record Period. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, we incurred U.S. tariffs of RMB49.7 thousand, RMB63.3 thousand, RMB190.1 thousand and RMB5.5 thousand, respectively.
The revenue contribution of our products and solutions directly exported to the U.S. by us during the Track Record Period was relatively low, primarily because most large-scale manufacturers that used modules in their production are outside of the U.S..
Given that the revenue contribution from of our products and solutions directly exported to the U.S. by us is limited, even if we experience a decrease in our direct sales to the U.S. as a result of an increase in the U.S. tariffs in the future, it would not result in a material and adverse change in our business and result of operations as a whole.
-
The impact of U.S. tariffs on our customers is limited. We estimate that indirect impact on our business and result of operations as a whole caused by the U.S. tariff incurred by our customers is limited, primarily because:
-
Direct customers. To the best of our knowledge, the U.S. tariffs do not have material adverse impact on the business and results of operations of our direct customers, primarily because, during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, none of our major customers sold their end products exclusively to the United States. This is because our major customers are mainly global industry-leading customers with diversified world sales. See
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
BUSINESS
“—Our Strength—Long-term relationship with global industry-leading customers.” These global industry-leading customers have the flexibility to import only the necessary volume of products into the U.S. to meet domestic market demand. Meanwhile, the end products they sell in other countries can be shipped directly from manufacturers, including those located in China, to the respective markets without crossing U.S. borders, thereby avoiding the imposition of U.S. tariffs.
During the Track Record Period, we derived a majority of our direct sales revenue from sales to our five largest customers in each of 2022, 2023, 2024, and the six months ended June 30, 2025. The U.S. tariffs would not have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations through indirect sales into the U.S. Specifically:
(i) Customer A and Customer F are in the smart home industry. Based on our estimation, these customers mainly sold fixed-wireless-access products to the U.S., during the Track Record Period. We estimate that U.S. tariffs do not have material impact on Customer A and Customer F, primarily because fixed-wireless-access products have been generally exempt from the U.S. reciprocal tariff effective on April 5, 2025.
(ii) Customer B is in the automotive electronics industry. We estimate that U.S. tariffs do not have material impact on Customer B, primarily because Customer B’s domestic sales in China constituted over 90.0% of its sales volume in 2024, and approximately 80.0% of its sales volume in the six months ended June 30, 2025, according to Frost & Sullivan, based on public filings.
(iii) Customer C, Customer D and Customer E are in the consumer electronics industry. According to Frost & Sullivan, Customer C derived approximately 33.0% to 36.0% of its revenue from sales to the U.S. in 2022, 2023 and 2024, based on industry expert interviews, public filings and public information. According to the same source, Customer D derived approximately 48.0% to 54.0% of its revenue from sales to the U.S. in 2022, 2023 and 2024, and Customer E derived approximately 20.0% to 30.0% of its revenue from sales to the U.S. in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Based on such statistics, we estimate that approximately 7.0% to 9.0% of our revenue were generated from our products indirectly imported into the U.S. as part of the end products of Customer C, Customer D and Customer E in 2022, 2023 and 2024.
The estimated range is determined based on the proportion of revenue generated from our products indirectly imported into the U.S. as part of the end products of Customer C, Customer D and Customer E for each year of 2022, 2023 and 2024.
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
BUSINESS
The respective proportion for each year is calculated by adding up the following.
- The respective proportion of our revenue derived from Customer C from continuing operations multiplied with the approximate proportion of Customer C's revenue derived from its sales into the U.S.;
- The respective proportion of our revenue derived from Customer D from continuing operations multiplied with the approximate proportion of Customer D's revenue derived from its sales into the U.S.; and
- The respective proportion of our revenue derived from Customer E from continuing operations multiplied with the approximate proportion of Customer E's revenue derived from its sales into the U.S..
As such, even if a tariff-driven price adjustment mechanism is agreed upon by us and Customer C, Customer D and Customer E, only a limited portion of our sales will be impacted.
During the Track Record and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we did not receive any requests from any of our five largest customers to renegotiate the sales agreement, cancel orders or suspend delivery of our products because of the imposition of the U.S. tariffs.
Based on the above and our estimates, the U.S. Tariffs do not have material and adverse impact on our direct sales customers.
-
Distributors. To the best of our knowledge, the U.S. tariffs do not have material adverse impact on the business and results of operations of our direct customers, primarily because, during the Track Record Period, the total revenue from our sales to the distributors who are authorized to sell in the U.S. are limited. Specifically, the total revenue from our sales to these distributors constituted merely approximately 0.6%, 0.3%, 0.2% and 0.4% of our total revenue from continuing operations in 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025.
-
Contractual terms. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had not experienced any material adverse changes in our order volume, price, customer payment or logistics arrangements, nor have we received any requests from our customers or distributors to renegotiate the sales agreement, cancel orders or suspend delivery of our products because of the imposition of the U.S. tariffs.

Imports
On import side, our Directors are of the view, and the Sole Sponsor concurs, that the tariffs imposed by China on imports of U.S. origin would not have a material and adverse impact on our business and results of operations, given that during the Track Record Period, the key raw materials, memory chips and radio frequency chips, which we procured of U.S. origin, were exempt from tariffs imposed by China. See “—Tariff Policies.” Furthermore, even if such raw materials were not exempted from tariffs imposed by China, the impact of such tariffs would have been limited, primarily because during the Track Record Period, raw materials we procured of U.S. origin represented an insignificant proportion of our cost of goods sold. See “—Our Suppliers—Raw Materials Suppliers” for details.
Mitigating Measures
For our measures to mitigate the impacts of the Sino-U.S. trade tensions, including the tariffs imposed by U.S. and China, see “—Our Suppliers—Raw Materials Suppliers” for details.
For further details of risks related to recent regulatory changes, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry—We may be subject to the risks associated with international trade policies, geopolitics and trade protection measures, including imposition of trade restrictions and sanctions, and our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.”
TRANSFER PRICING ARRANGEMENT
Overview
Our Group has established subsidiaries in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States and Europe. During the Track Record Period, there were primarily two types of intra-group transactions, namely (i) intra-group transactions from continuing operations and (ii) intra-group transactions from discontinued operation (collectively, the “Covered Transactions”). In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the four months ended April 30, 2025, the amount of intra-group transactions from continuing operations were RMB8,260.5 million, RMB9,293.9 million, RMB15,407.5 million and RMB4,428.4 million, respectively, while the amount of intra-group transactions from discontinued operation were RMB1,195.3 million, RMB1,849.3 million, RMB2,277.0 million and nil, respectively.

Transfer Pricing Assessment
We follow the guidelines set forth by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Transfer Pricing Guidelines (“OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines”), which are generally consistent with the tax laws of jurisdictions involved in our intra-group transactions, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States and Europe. According to the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, intra-group transactions should be conducted on an arm’s length basis to avoid distorted taxable income in different jurisdictions.
We have engaged an independent Transfer Pricing Consultant, Grant Thornton, to conduct benchmarking studies (the “Benchmarking Study”) on the Covered Transactions, in accordance with the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines.
Intra-Group Transactions from Continuing Operations
Based on the functional files of our Group entities involved in intra-group transactions from continuing operations, the Transfer Pricing Consultant has selected full-cost markup, operating profit margin and gross profit margin as the profit level indicators to evaluate the intra-group transactions from continuing operations of our entities.
In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, most of our Group entities engaged in the intra-group transactions from continuing operations achieved the profitability within or slightly above the arm’s length profit ranges derived from the relevant comparable companies. A few of our overseas subsidiaries engaged in the intra-group transactions from continuing operations fall below the profit range, primarily because such subsidiaries incurred relatively higher business development costs during the sales and marketing process. The Transfer Pricing Consultant considered the reasons provided by our management team are legitimate business reasons and thus no transfer pricing adjustment is required.
Intra-Group Transaction from Discontinued Operation
Based on the functional files of our Group entities involved in intra-group transactions from discontinued operation, the Transfer Pricing Consultant has selected operating profit margin as the profit level indicator to evaluate the intra-group transactions from discontinued operation during the Track Record Period.
A benchmark study was conducted by selecting independent companies providing that perform activities similar to the activities performed by entities engaged in the intra-group transactions from discontinued operation. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, most of the entities engaged in the intra-group transactions related to discontinued operation achieved the profitability above the arm’s length profit ranges derived from the relevant comparable companies. Nevertheless, as (i) entities engaged in the intra-group transactions from discontinued operation conducted only limited related-party transactions with one subsidiary within our Group, Hong Kong Fibocom, in 2022, that (ii) Hong Kong Fibocom recorded profitability

BUSINESS
within the arm’s length profit ranges derived from the relevant comparable companies and that (iii) except for one entity that recorded lower profitability due to its early stage of operations, no entity engaged in the intra-group transactions from discontinued operation recorded profitability lower than the arm’s length profit ranges derived from the relevant comparable companies, there was no indication of profit shifting from entities engaged in the intra-group transactions related to discontinued operation to our Group. The Transfer Pricing Consultant considered the reasons provided by our management are legitimate business reasons.
Based on the above analysis regarding the Covered Transactions, our Directors, along with our Transfer Pricing Consultant, are of the view that the Covered Transactions were in line with the arm’s length principle and no material adjustment is required. There is no indication that these transactions are not in line with the arm’s length principle.
Tax Implication
During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we did not receive any demands or challenges from relevant authorities in any jurisdiction we operate for additional tax payment. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, to the knowledge of our Directors, we were not aware of any inquiries, audit, investigation or challenge by any relevant tax authorities in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States and Europe in relation to the Covered Transactions. In light of the above, Our Directors, along with our Transfer Pricing Consultant, are of the view that our Group has been in compliance with the relevant transfer pricing laws and regulations in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States and Europe during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date.
Our management has and will continue to closely monitor our Group’s transfer pricing arrangements including reviewing the reasonableness of the pricing policy of our intra-group transactions from time to time. However, we cannot assure you that our transfer pricing arrangements will not be subject to review and possible challenge by any relevant tax authorities in the future, even though we believe we have reasonable grounds to defend ourselves against such a possible challenge. In addition, although benchmarking studies conducted in accordance with OECD Transfer Pricing guidelines would generally be followed by all tax jurisdictions involved in the Covered Transactions, it does not have binding effect on any local taxation authorities in the event of transfer pricing controversy. For further details, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to our Business and Industry—Our transfer pricing arrangements may be subject to scrutiny by the relevant tax authorities in the countries and regions where we operate.”

Internal Control
In order to ensure our ongoing compliance with the applicable transfer pricing laws and regulations, we have adopted or are in the process of adopting the following measures:
- we will continue to engage an external tax consultant on transfer pricing matters annually to conduct analysis on our transfer pricing method and profit level indicator selected, and plan our transfer pricing policy of the transactions through financial budgeting according to the result of the analysis.
- we will provide training to our finance team relating to updates on relevant transfer pricing laws and regulations in the relevant jurisdictions.
- we will review all reporting forms before submitting to the relevant tax authority.
- we will optimize supporting of functional profiles for the main operating business.
- we will ensure that profit arrangement is aligned with each entity's value contribution; and
- we will document and file relevant supporting documents of the value contribution of each entity for risk management purposes, including but not limited to responsibilities planning, correspondences, performance and outcome assessment of relevant work.
LOGISTICS AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Logistics
We engage qualified third-party logistics service providers to deliver our products from the manufacturing facilities of our EMS providers to the locations specified by our customers. We conduct regular evaluations of these third-party logistics providers to ensure their compliance with our quality standards and efficient delivery performance. To the best of our knowledge, during the Track Record Period, all of our logistics service providers are independent third parties.
Inventory Management
We place high importance on our inventory and turnover health, assigning dedicated personnel in our supply chain team to maintain routine inventory checks and provide reports to our management team for review. Our inventories primarily consist of (i) raw materials, (ii) contract cost, (iii) consigned processing materials, (iv) finished goods and (v) goods in transit. As of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, and April 30, 2025, our inventories amounted to RMB1,096.6 million, RMB1,285.6 million, RMB979.7 million and RMB1,306.2 million, respectively.

BUSINESS
To maintain our competitiveness, align our products with evolving market demand, and prevent inventory obsolescence, we have implemented measures to optimize our inventory levels. We adopt a first-in, first-out management policy and maintain a safety stock level to prepare for unexpected increases in demand or delay, shortage in supply. Our procurement department takes into consideration characteristics of the materials, demand profiles, market supply trends and potential supply constraints to determine the necessity of safety stock levels for raw materials. If necessary, for commonly used raw materials, we generally maintain an additional month's supply beyond regular turnover to cover up to two months of sales demand, while for key raw materials such as radio frequency chips, memory chips and baseband trips, we may adjust our safety stock to cover between three to twelve months of anticipated demand. For materials assessed to carry future supply risk due to anticipated shifts in market supply trends, our procurement department may initiate targeted stockpiling measures to mitigate such risks. Additionally, if suppliers anticipate capacity constraints, we typically extend the coverage of our safety stock as needed and work closely with distributors to ensure the availability of backup stock through distributor channels, thereby mitigating potential supply chain disruptions. We routinely monitor our inventory and ensure that all goods in transit are effectively managed. We also proactively track market condition changes and pre-order and stockpile in advance strategic raw materials in anticipation of potential supply shortage. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, our inventory turnover days were 77.0 days, 72.8 days, 62.6 days and 68.1 days, respectively. For further details, see "Financial Information—Selected Balance Sheet Items—Current Assets/Liabilities—Inventories."
QUALITY CONTROL
We strive to maintain quality across our products and solutions. Our comprehensive quality management system facilitates full lifecycle quality control, covering R&D, design, testing, production, delivery, and after-sales service. Our quality policy, guided by the principles of customer-centricity, continuous improvement, and zero-defect execution, serves as the foundation for all quality-related activities.
We have established a structured quality governance framework, with our Chairman acting as the chief decision-maker overseeing the quality management strategy. The Board of Directors formulates annual quality objectives, which are reviewed and approved by the Chairman.

To ensure compliance with environmental and hazardous substance regulations, we follow European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances ("RoHS") ("歐盟有害物質限制") and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals ("REACH") ("歐盟關於化學物質的註冊、評估、授權和限制法規") directives, ensuring that all our products meet the latest environmental safety requirements. Additionally, our laboratory has been awarded CNAS certification ("中國合格評定國家認可委員會"), with testing and calibration capabilities aligned with the international ISO/IEC 17025 standard, further reinforcing our commitment to precision, reliability, and proactive quality control.
R&D Activities
Our R&D quality control framework follows a structured and systematic approach, integrating comprehensive risk assessment and validation measures throughout the entire product lifecycle. We adopt the IPD framework, ensuring that quality is embedded from product ideation to market release.
We integrate quality control into every stage of R&D through a structured IPD framework, ensuring that all products are designed, tested, and validated to meet performance and reliability standards. During the project initiation phase, we conduct market research, competitive analysis, and feasibility studies to align new products with customer demands. In the specification and design stage, we define product specifications, technical architectures, and manufacturing feasibility to ensure smooth downstream execution. The validation phase focuses on hardware and software integration, prototype testing, and compliance verification, reducing potential defects before mass production. Once a product reaches the integration phase, we conduct final quality audits and regulatory reviews to ensure a stable and market-ready product. Even after commercialization, we maintain lifecycle quality tracking, analyzing customer feedback and performance data to drive cost optimization and continuous improvements.
Supply Chain Quality Control
A robust supply chain quality control process is essential to maintaining consistent and high-performing components. We enforce strict supplier audits, evaluating potential partners based on manufacturing capabilities, quality track record, and regulatory compliance. Only materials that pass our rigorous qualification and certification process are approved for use. Throughout the procurement and production cycle, we maintain full-process quality management, ensuring that raw materials meet our design specifications and environmental compliance standards.
We utilize quality detection and calibration technologies to proactively address potential issues before they arise. We implement multi-layered quality checks, from incoming material inspections to critical material sealing procedures, preventing substandard components from entering production. This proactive approach enables us to minimize quality risks, strengthen supplier accountability, and ensure stable supply chain performance.

INFORMATION SECURITY AND DATA PRIVACY
We believe that the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data are vital to our business operations. In recent years, data security and privacy protection have become a global regulatory priority, with cybersecurity, data security, and personal information protection laws in mainland China undergoing rapid development.
Data Collection and Usage
Given that we only make transactions with enterprises, our business does not involve the collection or processing of personal or sensitive data from individual consumers. However, in the course of our business, we collect, store and process business data and transaction data, which are subject to evolving regulatory requirements and administrative oversight.
We mainly collect (i) business-related data, which includes background information of our enterprise customers, and (ii) transaction data, such as AI model installation package related to the development of customized Edge AI solutions for our customers. We do not collect or store personal or sensitive data.
Data used in AI model training
Within our module products and solutions, three types of AI models are integrated: (i) open-source, (ii) customer-provided and (iii) self-developed AI models.
For data used in open-source AI model and customer-provided AI model, we have no access to the data used in the training of open-source AI models and customer-provided AI models. We are responsible for integrating the models into our AI modules and solutions. However, we do not engage in the training of these models nor are we provided with access to the data used in the training by customers.
For data used in self-developed AI model, we use two primary sources of data: (i) externally sourced data and (ii) internally collected data. We safeguard the legality of data used in training of our self-developed AI models through the following measures:
-
Externally sourced data. We source external data from reputable suppliers and require them to provide proof of the data's legal origin. This ensures that the data we use complies with applicable data protection laws and regulations.
-
Internally collected data. We also use data collected through proprietary simulation platforms, such as our internal robot simulation environment, which mimics real-world conditions. For example, during the training of our robotic systems, we gather sensory data from internal equipment, such as cameras and microphones, integrated into devices like lawnmowers or hunting cameras. These devices capture real-world data, such as images from cameras in night-time scenarios, to train our

Third Party Payment Arrangements
Background and Reasons
During the Track Record Period, we accepted payments made on behalf of certain customers (the "Relevant Customer(s)"), through the accounts of third-party payors designated by the Relevant Customers (the "Third-Party Payment Arrangement(s)"). In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, the number of the Relevant Customers was 12, 13, five and two, respectively. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, the aggregate amount they settled under the Third-Party Payment Arrangements was RMB3.8 million, RMB3.3 million, RMB20.1 million and RMB0.8 million, respectively, which accounted for 0.07%, 0.06%, 0.29% and 0.03% of our total revenue in the same periods, respectively.
No individual Relevant Customer had made material contribution to our revenue during the Track Record Period. To the best of our knowledge, none of the third-party payors designated by the Relevant Customer is our connected person, and all designated third-party payors are independent from each of our Directors, senior management, and Controlling Shareholder.
During the Track Record Period, Third-party Payment Arrangements primarily comprise two scenarios: (i) payments from supply chain payment service providers and (ii) payments from employees of the Relevant Customers. During the Track Record Period, payments made under these two scenarios accounted for over 99.5% of the total payments settled under Third-Party Payment Arrangements.
Third-party Payment Arrangements—Scenario I
During the Track Record Period, to the best of our knowledge, the third-party payors designated by the Relevant Customers primarily include supply chain payment service providers which made payments to us pursuant to the payment service arrangements with the Relevant Customers. Supply chain payment service providers are specialized service providers engaged in a range of services within supply chain management, including goods receipt, logistics and storage services, customs clearance, warehousing, and payment settlement. Relevant Customers typically engage supply chain payment service providers to facilitate and centralize the payment process, ensuring a smoother transaction flow and the timely settlement of financial obligations on behalf of the Relevant Customers. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, four, three, two and one customer(s) settled transactions with us
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
BUSINESS
under this scenario. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of revenue generated under this scenario was RMB3.7 million, RMB3.2 million, RMB19.9 million and RMB0.8 million, respectively, representing approximately 0.1%, 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.03% of our revenue for the respective periods.
Third-party Payment Arrangements—Scenario II
During the Track Record Period, certain Relevant Customer settled payments via their employees upon requests of the Relevant Customers, and such employees also constitute the third-party payors of the Relevant Customer. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, seven, seven, three and one customer(s) settled transactions with us under this scenario. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of revenue generated under this scenario was RMB0.03 million, RMB0.07 million, RMB0.2 million and RMB0.002 million, respectively, representing approximately 0.001%, 0.001%, 0.003% and 0.0001% of our revenue for the respective periods.
Reasons for the Third-party Payment Arrangements
To the best of our knowledge, the use of the Third-party Payment Arrangements primarily stems from the following reasons:
- Industry norm. According to Frost & Sullivan, it is a common commercial practice in China for customers to settle payments through third-party payors for various personal reasons; and
- Payment convenience. Certain Relevant Customers are small- and medium-sized enterprises, and, as confirmed by Frost & Sullivan, it is common for them to settle payments through personal bank accounts of their employees for convenience.
Implication and Termination of the Third-party Payment Arrangements
During the Track Record Period, our Directors confirm that (i) we had not proactively initiated any Third-party Payment Arrangements or participated in any of such arrangement in other forms, (ii) we had not provided any discount, commission, rebate, or other benefit to any of the Relevant Customers to facilitate or incentivize the Third-party Payment Arrangements, (iii) the pricing and payment terms of the agreements we entered into with the Relevant Customers were generally in line with customers not involved in the Third-party Payment Arrangements under similar scenarios, and (iv) the Third-party Payment Arrangements have been recorded completely and accurately in our accounting books and records in all material respects.

BUSINESS
During the Track Record Period, we have undertaken the following measures to monitor and manage the Third-Party Payment Arrangements:
-
Genuine underlying transactions. To ensure the Third-party Payment Arrangements are supported by genuine transactions, for payments received from the designated third-party payors, we required the Relevant Customers to provide us with the relevant information including, among other things, the payor's account, payment information and the relevant payment agreement between the Relevant Customers and the payors to us after completion of the order and payment. The financial staff of us were allowed to recognize payments from designated third-party payors of the Relevant Customers and our business staff were allowed to ship our products to the Relevant Customers on the condition that the information submitted by Relevant Customers is consistent with the order.
-
Prevention of fraud or money laundering. We also had know-your-customer procedures in place to have a comprehensive understanding of our customers. In addition, we conduct regular business meetings with corporate customers to understand the nature of their operations and business models. We also maintain active communication with our customers through both online and offline channels. Based on the above, we have no basis to believe that the Relevant Customers are involved in fraudulent or money laundering activities, nor any reason to suspect that the Third-Party Payment Arrangements involve proceeds or gains from such activities.
During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of our knowledge, (i) all settlements were based on bona fide underlying transactions and valid contractual relationships, (ii) the settlement amounts were consistent with the amounts incurred under the relevant transactions, (iii) we are not aware of any instances of commercial bribery, money laundering, tax evasion, or existing or potential disputes with our Group related to the Third-Party Payment Arrangements, (iv) Relevant Customers have not claimed any interests as to any transaction payment to or from us through the Third-party Payment Arrangements, (v) we had not encountered any refund requests, actual or pending dispute or disagreement due to Third-Party Payment Arrangements or any material claims against us in relation to the Third-Party Payment Arrangements.
As advised by our PRC Legal Advisor, in light of the above, the Third-party Payment Arrangements are not in breach of mandatory requirements of current applicable laws and regulations in China in material aspects.
In line with our commitment to strengthen internal control, as of the Latest Practicable date, we have terminated all Third-party Payment Arrangements. We do not plan to engage in any third-party payment arrangement again in the future. We believe that this termination will not have, a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity or financial performance, given that (i) revenue generated from the Third-party Payment Arrangements represented an insignificant percentage of our total revenue during the Track Record Period, and (ii) the

BUSINESS
rectification of Third-Party Payment Arrangements did not affect the payment settlement arrangement from our Relevant Customers to us, (iii) we have not experienced any decline in sales or number of customers while our business scale continued to grow, nor have any customers altered their relationship with us as a result of the cessation of Third-party Payment Arrangement. For risks related to the Third-party Payment Arrangement, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry—We face risks in connection with Third-party Payment Arrangements.”
Enhanced Internal Control
To safeguard our interest against risks associated with Third-Party Payment Arrangements, we have significantly enhanced and implemented various internal control measures in order to rectify Third-Party Payment Arrangements, including:
- we initiated the implementation of Third-Party Payment Arrangements rectification measures and informed our employees regarding the enhanced internal control measures;
- our employees are required not to proactively initiate any Third-Party Payment Arrangements, to inform all customers that Third-Party Payment Arrangements are not accepted, and to understand and implement our policies and measures related to the termination of Third-Party Payment Arrangements, alongside regular training sessions on fraud prevention and anti-money laundering practices;
- when contracts are signed, our employees are required to collect the customers' bank account information, including the account name, and ensure that all payment transactions are made using the account of the contracting party; and
- Our finance department is required to conduct monthly reviews of internal operations to identify any potential Third-Party Payment Arrangements. This includes sample checking of contracts to verify whether the payer matches the contracting party, among other measures.
We regularly check the effectiveness of our internal control measures in relation to the Third-Party Payment Arrangements and promptly address any abnormalities. Based on the follow-up review on the implementation of measures, our Directors are of the view that the above measures are effective and adequate in ensuring the accuracy and completeness of our accounting books and records and preventing Third-party Payment Arrangements and its associated risks. Our internal control consultant has conducted a follow-up review on a factual finding basis pursuant to Technical Bulletin-AATB1 “Assistance Options to New Applicants and Sponsors in connection with Due Diligence Obligations, including Internal Controls over Financial Reporting” issued by the HKICPA. Based on the result of the above mentioned follow-up review, no material weakness or further recommendation was raised.

During the Track Record Period, our raw materials primarily included (i) baseband chips, (ii) radio frequency chips and (iii) memory chips. The stability of the supply of such chips may be affected by factors beyond our control. These factors primarily include supply and demand dynamics, cost of raw materials for chips, manufacturing capacity, geopolitical factors and technical development. Among our raw materials, memory chips used in our smart modules may experience more fluctuations in the market price than other raw materials.
To mitigate supply chain risks and price volatility, we closely monitor raw material costs through market trend analysis, supplier negotiations and periodic price assessments. We procure raw materials and adjust inventory levels based on price forecast to avoid disruption in our supply chain and control our raw material costs. For details of our inventory management, see "Business—Logistics and Inventory Management."
Our Product Portfolio
Our ability to offer a comprehensive portfolio of module products and solutions is one of the primary factors influencing our financial conditions and results of operations. Our future success depends on our ability to anticipate industry trends and develop products with high-performance that meet the evolving demand of downstream customers in various application scenarios.
During the Track Record Period, we primarily derived our revenue from the sale of module products, including (i) data transmission modules and (ii) smart modules. We price each products based on a variety of factors, primarily including (i) customer demands, (ii) raw material costs, (iii) product differentiation and (iv) competitive landscape of the markets.

Acquisition of Shenzhen Rolling in 2022 and Subsequent Disposal in 2024
During the Track Record Period, we acquired Shenzhen Rolling, a company principally engaged in overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business, and subsequently disposed our overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business segment under Shenzhen Rolling. Specifically:
-
Acquisition. Shenzhen Rolling became our wholly-owned subsidiary following our acquisition of 51% of equity interest in this entity in November 2022 (the "Acquisition of Rolling"). We acquired Shenzhen Rolling primarily to expand our overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business and further strengthen our market position. We consolidated Shenzhen Rolling to our financial statements starting from November 2022. From November 2022 to July 2024, Shenzhen Rolling mainly provided data transmission modules.
-
Disposal. In July 2024, we disposed the assets related to Shenzhen Rolling's overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business, which consisted of (i) 100% of the equity interest in Luxembourg Rolling and (ii) certain assets and liabilities of Hong Kong Rolling (together representing all of our operation of overseas in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business segment at the relevant time) (the "Disposal of Rolling"). We made such disposal primarily in light of the increasingly complex changes in the international market environment and the difficulties and costs associated with navigating such changes.
See "History and Corporate Structure—Major Acquisitions, Disposals and Mergers—Acquisition of Shenzhen Rolling in 2022 and Subsequent Disposal in 2024" for details.
Our results of operations, including our profit for the year and balance sheet items, were affected by the Acquisition of Rolling and the Disposal of Rolling.

provisions, have been early adopted by us in the preparation of the historical financial information throughout the Track Record Period. The historical financial information has been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are stated at fair value.
The preparation of the historical financial information in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in the process of applying our accounting policies. Judgements made by the management in the application of IFRSs that have significant effect on the historical financial information and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in Note 4 to the Accountants' Report included in Appendix I to this document.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We have identified certain accounting policies that are material to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to apply estimates and assumptions as well as complex judgments related to accounting items. The estimates and assumptions we use and the judgments we make in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on our financial position and operational results. Our management evaluates such estimates, assumptions and judgments based on past experience and other factors, including industry practices and expectations of future events that are deemed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There has not been any material deviation from our management's estimates or assumptions and actual results, and we have not made any material changes to these estimates or assumptions during the Track Record Period. We do not expect any material changes in these estimates and assumptions in the foreseeable future. Details of our material accounting policies, estimates, assumptions and judgments, which are important for understanding our financial condition and results of operations, are set forth in Notes 2 and 4 to the Accountants' Report in Appendix I to this document.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Comparison between the four months ended April 30, 2024 and 2025: Our gross profit margin decreased from 20.0% in the four months ended April 30, 2024 to 17.7% in the four months ended April 30, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in the gross profit margin of smart modules. Specifically:
Module products
Our gross profit margin of module products decreased from 20.0% in the four months ended April 30, 2024 to 17.6% in the four months ended April 30, 2025, due to an increase in gross profit margin of smart modules. Specifically:
- Data transmission modules. Our gross profit margin of data transmission modules remained relatively stable at 19.8% in the four months ended April 30, 2024 and 20.0% in the four months ended April 30, 2025.
- Smart modules. Our gross profit margin of smart modules decreased from 20.2% in the four months ended April 30, 2024 to 16.3% in the four months ended April 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in the unit cost of goods sold of our smart modules, primarily attributable to an increase in the purchase price of raw materials.
The increase in the unit cost of goods sold was partially offset by an increase in the average selling price of our smart modules from RMB468.3 per unit in the four months ended April 30, 2024 to RMB584.5 per unit in the four months ended April 30, 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in the average selling price of our smart modules used in smart home and (ii) an increase in the sales proportion of our smart modules used in automotive electronics with higher selling price.
Solutions
Our gross profit margin of solutions increased from 16.2% in the four months ended April 30, 2024 to 20.4% in the four months ended April 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in the gross profit margin of Edge AI solutions and other solutions. Specifically:
- Edge AI solutions. Our gross profit margin of Edge AI solutions increased from 27.5% in the four months ended April 30, 2024 to 37.3% in the four months ended April 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in the sales proportion of edge AI solutions used in other application scenarios with higher gross profit margin.
- Robotic solutions. Our gross profit margin of robotic solutions was 37.2% in the four months ended April 30, 2025, primarily because we generated revenue from robotic solutions starting from August 2024.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- Other solutions. Our gross profit margin of other solutions increased from 10.7% in the four months ended April 30, 2024 to 16.4% in the four months ended April 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in the sales proportion of some solutions with higher gross profit margin.
Comparison between 2024 and 2023: Our gross profit margin decreased from 21.0% in 2023 to 18.2% in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in the gross profit margin of module products.
Module products
Our gross profit margin of module products decreased from 21.1% in 2023 to 18.2% in 2024, due to a decrease in gross profit margin of data transmission modules and smart modules. Specifically:
- Data transmission modules. Our gross profit margin of data transmission modules decreased from 22.2% in 2023 to 19.6% in 2024, primarily due to a 20.6% decrease in the average selling price of our data transmission modules from RMB102.1 per unit in 2023 to RMB81.1 per unit in 2024. The decrease in the average selling price was primarily because our customers in application scenarios such as smart retail and consumer electronics purchased more cost-effective data transmission modules with lower average selling price. These cost-effective data transmission modules offered more competitive pricing with similar functionalities compared to their alternatives used by our customers.
The decrease in the average selling price was partially offset by a decrease in the unit cost of goods sold of our data transmission modules, primarily attributable to a decrease in the purchase price of raw materials.
- Smart modules. The gross profit margin of our smart modules decreased from 20.1% in 2023 to 17.1% in 2024, primarily due to a 3.6% decrease in the average selling price of our smart modules from RMB503.0 per unit in 2023 to RMB485.1 per unit in 2024. Such decrease in the average selling price was primarily because we adjusted the price of the smart modules used in the smart home application scenario to enhance our competitiveness and boost our sales volume.
Solutions
The gross profit margin of our solutions remained relatively stable at 20.2% in 2023 and 19.4% in 2024. Specifically:

Our effective tax rate in 2023 was 2.1%. We had a low effective tax rate in 2023 primarily attributable to deductions from research and development expenses. In 2023, our research and development expenses amounted to RMB540.2 million, of which RMB445.7 million was eligible for additional pre-tax deductions. Had there been no additional deduction, the effective tax rate for 2023 would have been 22.9%, which aligns with our applicable tax rates.
Our deferred taxation was RMB33.0 million, RMB9.1 million and RMB65.6 million in 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. We recorded deferred taxation of RMB0.5 million in the four months ended April 30, 2024 and deferred tax credit of RMB6.5 million in the four months ended April 30, 2025. The fluctuations in deferred taxation was primarily due to the unrecognized deductible losses and deductible temporary differences and the recognition of unrecognized deductible losses and deductible temporary differences in previous years from our subsidiaries. We expect our subsidiaries to generate sufficient taxable income in the future to offset these losses.
Comparison between the four months ended April 30, 2024 and 2025: We recorded an income tax expense of RMB2.8 million in the four months ended April 30, 2024 and an income tax expense of RMB10.1 million in the four months ended April 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in deferred tax expense because some of our subsidiaries recognized profits and recorded a decrease in deductible losses.

Profit for the Year from Continuing Operations
As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the year from continuing operations increased by 7.0% from RMB352.3 million in 2022 to RMB376.8 million in 2023, increased by 12.3% to RMB423.2 million in 2024, and further increased by 14.6% from RMB139.9 million in the four months ended April 30, 2024 to RMB160.3 million in the four months ended April 30, 2025.

Profit for the Year from Discontinued Operation
Our profit for the year from discontinued operation was RMB12.6 million, RMB188.2 million and RMB253.7 million in 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively.
Comparison between 2024 and 2023: Our profit for the year from discontinued operation increased by 34.8% from RMB188.2 million in 2023 to RMB253.7 million in 2024, primarily due to an increase in the other gains and losses as a result of the gains from the Disposal of Rolling.
Comparison between 2023 and 2022: Our profit for the year from discontinued operation increased by 1,397.6% from RMB12.6 million in 2022 to RMB188.2 million in 2023. This substantial increase was primarily attributable to the consolidation of Shenzhen Rolling into our financial statements starting from November 2022, resulting in only two months of consolidation in 2022 compared to a full year in 2023.
Profit for the Year
As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the year increased by 54.9% from RMB364.8 million in 2022 to RMB565.0 million in 2023, and further increased by 19.8% to RMB676.8 million in 2024, and further decreased by 31.3% from RMB233.3 million in the four months ended April 30, 2024 to RMB160.3 million in the four months ended April 30, 2025.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Our inventory increased by 17.2% from RMB1,096.6 million as of December 31, 2022 to RMB1,285.6 million as of December 31, 2023, primarily attributable to (i) an increase in goods in transit and (ii) an increase in finished goods, which were in line with our revenue growth. Such increase was partially offset by (i) a decrease in raw materials and (ii) a decrease in consigned processing materials as more components of module products and solutions were manufactured into finished products.
Our inventory decreased by 23.8% from RMB1,285.6 million as of December 31, 2023 to RMB979.7 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to (i) a decrease in raw materials as a result of the Disposal of Rolling, and (ii) a decrease in goods in transit as a result of an increase in the volume of products and solutions delivered to our customers.
Our inventory increased by 33.3% from RMB979.7 million as of December 31, 2024 to RMB1,306.2 million as of April 30, 2025, primarily due to (i) an increase in our procurement of raw materials attributable to an increase in customer orders; and (ii) an increase in raw materials as we rented production lines from one of our EMS providers and recorded the value of our raw materials stored with them.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Our inventory turnover days decreased from 77.0 days in 2022 to 72.8 days in 2023, primarily due to (i) the enhancement of our inventory utilization efficiency; and (ii) the relatively higher increase in cost of goods sold as compared to the increase in inventory, given that the Acquisition of Rolling was in November 2022, which resulted in consolidation of the cost of goods sold of Shenzhen Rolling for only two months in 2022, as compared to a full year in 2023.
Our inventory turnover days decreased from 72.8 days in 2023 to 62.6 days in 2024, primarily due to the relatively higher increase in cost of goods sold as compared to the increase in inventory, given that the Disposal of Rolling was in July 2024, which resulted in consolidation of the cost of goods sold of Shenzhen Rolling for approximately seven months in 2024.
Our inventory turnover days increased from 62.6 days in 2024 to 68.1 days in the four months ended April 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in inventories as we procured more raw materials as a result of increased customer orders.
As of August 31, 2025, RMB1,067.5 million, or 79.9%, of our inventories as of April 30, 2025 had been sold or utilized.

| Total | 237,962 | 218,252 | 171,822 | 180,757 |
The carrying amount of our property, plant and equipment decreased by 8.3% from RMB238.0 million as of December 31, 2022 to RMB218.3 million as of December 31, 2023, mainly due to depreciation and amortization of research equipment.
The carrying amount of our property, plant and equipment decreased by 21.3% from RMB218.3 million as of December 31, 2023 to RMB171.8 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily attributable to the decrease in the carrying amount of machinery and equipment due to the Disposal of Rolling.
The carrying amount of our property, plant and equipment increased by 5.2% from RMB171.8 million as of December 31, 2024 to RMB180.8 million as of April 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in construction in progress related to office space.
Right-of-use assets
Our right-of-use assets consist of (i) land, (ii) buildings and (iii) machineries. The following table sets forth our right-of-use assets as of the dates indicated:

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Our right-of-use assets remained relatively stable at RMB110.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and RMB104.0 million as of December 31, 2023.
Our right-of-use assets increased by 30.3% from RMB104.0 million as of December 31, 2023 to RMB135.4 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in right-of-use on land for our planned construction of manufacturing facilities and additional office buildings.
Our right-of-use assets increased by 73.9% from RMB135.4 million as of December 31, 2024 to RMB235.5 million as of April 30, 2025, primarily because we rented production lines from one of our EMS providers.
Goodwill
Our goodwill primarily arises from our acquisition of 51% equity interest in Shenzhen Rolling in November 2022, and Zhejiang Nodecom in 2017. Our goodwill remained stable at RMB311.2 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2023. Our goodwill decreased by 95.9% from RMB311.2 million as of December 31, 2023 to RMB12.9 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to the Disposal of Rolling. Our goodwill remained stable at RMB12.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and April 30, 2025.
We based our cash flow projections on negative revenue growth rates at 10.99% for 2022 and 7.42% for 2023, primarily due to a decrease in the revenue growth rate of the in-vehicle front-fit wireless communication business under Shenzhen Rolling in 2024 and 2025 as a result of lower-than-expected sales volume of newly launched products. Such negative revenue growth rate was temporary and we continue to optimize cost structure and develop new markets to mitigate the impact.
We based our cash flow projections on a forecast revenue growth rate at 105.03% for 2024 primarily because of the expected growth of the early-stage automotive data connection services business of Shanghai Sevenfold Universe, a subsidiary which we acquired in 2024. Because the revenue base of the business is relatively small, we expect higher growth rate as the revenue increases in 2026.

Our bank borrowings increased by 6.8% from RMB1,262.0 million as of April 30, 2025 to RMB1,348.3 million as of August 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in the current portion of bank borrowings as a result of new short-term loans obtained during the period.

FINANCIAL RISK DISCLOSURE
We are exposed to a variety of financial risks, including market risks, such as foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Our overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on our financial performance. Our Board reviewed and agreed the following risk management policies. See Note 42 to the Accountants' Report in Appendix I to this document for details.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our subsidiaries mainly operate in the China and in the US and majority of the transactions are settled in RMB and US dollar. As a result, foreign currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not our functional currency. During the Track Record Period, we did not have significant foreign currency risk from our operations.
Interest Rate Risk
Other than the interest-bearing bank deposits, we have no other significant interest-bearing assets bearing variable rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk.
Price Risk
We are not exposed to significant price risk as there has been no involvement with equity investment on an active market.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to credit risk in relation to our trade receivables, deposits, other receivables, pledged deposits and cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of each class of the above components of the consolidated statement of financial position represents our Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to the corresponding class.
For trade receivables, we assess ECL under IFRS 9 based on shared credit risk characteristics and aging as well as the corresponding historical credit losses during that period. We also make individual assessment on the recoverability of its contract assets and trade and note receivables at amortized cost for certain customer based on historical settlement record. The historical rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking macroeconomic factors affecting the customer's ability to settle the amount outstanding.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For deposits and other receivables, we make periodic collective and individual assessment on the recoverability of other receivables based on historical settlement records and past experience as well as current external information and adjust to reflect probability-weighted forward-looking information.
For pledged deposits and cash and cash equivalents, we mainly transact with banks with high credit rating. There has been no recent history of default in relation to these financial institutions.
Liquidity Risk
Our objective is to maintain flexibility in funding by maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalents. For details of a contractual maturity analysis our financial liabilities, see Note 42 to the Accountants' Report set out in Appendix I to this document.
Capital Management
The primary objectives of our capital management are to safeguard our ability to continue as a going concern and to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing goods and services commensurately with the level of risk. We actively and regularly review our capital structure and make adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. In order to maintain a desirable ratio, we may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, return capital to shareholders, raise new debt financing or sell assets to reduce debt. See Note 43 to the Accountants' Report set out in Appendix I to this document for details.

(iii) if, during the time when he and the other enterprises controlled by him remain as affiliates of our Company and our subsidiaries, he and other enterprises controlled by him fail to comply with the above undertakings, he shall compensate our Company for all direct and indirect losses and bear the corresponding legal responsibilities.
INDEPENDENCE FROM OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER
Having considered the following factors, our Directors are satisfied that we are capable of carrying on our business independently of our Controlling Shareholder and his close associates upon [REDACTED].
Management Independence
Upon [REDACTED], our Board will comprise six Directors, including three executive Directors and three independent non-executive Directors.

The balance of power and authority is ensured by the operation of the senior management and our Board. For details, see "Directors, Supervisors and Senior Management" in this document. In addition, our Directors consider that our Board and senior management will function independently of our Controlling Shareholder for the following reasons:
(i) each Director is aware of his or her fiduciary duties as a Director which require, among other things, that such Director acts for the best interests of our Company and our Shareholders as a whole and does not allow any conflict between his or her duties as a Director and his or her personal interests;
(ii) our Company has established internal control mechanisms to identify connected transactions to ensure that our Shareholders or Directors with conflicting interests in a proposed transaction will abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions pursuant to the relevant requirements under our Articles of Association and/or the Listing Rules;

accordance with the relevant regulations such as the Securities Law, the Acquisition Measures and the A Share Listing Rules, including to promptly report and announce information regarding their acquisitions and changes in shareholding rights and interests, and to ensure that the disclosed information is true, accurate, and complete and without any false records, misleading statements, or material omissions.
In this regard, Opinions No. 19 on the Application of Securities and Futures Laws — Opinions on the Application of Articles 1, 3 and 14 of the Measures for the Administration of the Takeover of Listed Companies (the "New Regulations") has come into effect on January 10, 2025. Under the New Regulations, it is explicitly specified that "passive" change in shareholding percentages (i.e. changes in shareholding percentages of a shareholder due to an increase/ decrease in total issued share capital of a company (for example, by reason of issuance of shares/ repurchase and cancellation of shares by the company) without involving any active purchase or disposal or other actions on the part of such shareholder) are not required to be taken into account when calculating the cumulative change in shareholding percentages for the purposes of determining whether a 5% shareholding change (as referred to in the Acquisitions Measures, Securities Law and the A Share Listing Rules) has occurred.
The Incident occurred primarily due to Mr. Zhang's inadvertent failure to attend to and take into account the cumulative impact on the percentage changes in his shareholding in the Company arising from each and every round of the Company's issuance, repurchase and cancellation of A Shares throughout the entire Relevant Period and due to the long-time intervals between each round of Share disposal conducted by him, and it did not involve any fraud or personal dishonesty on Mr. Zhang's part. As of the Latest Practicable Date, no further regulatory actions had been taken against Mr. Zhang by the relevant authorities in relation to the Regulatory Letter, the Caution Letter or the Incident. We are of the view that the above Incident does not affect the suitability of Mr. Zhang to serve as a Director, having considered that (i) the Incident was not due to any fraud or personal dishonesty on the part of Mr. Zhang, nor did the Regulatory Letter and the Caution Letter cast doubt on his qualifications to serve as Director, (ii) as advised by our PRC Legal Adviser, the Regulatory Letter and the Caution Letter do not constitute any major or severe administrative penalty pursuant to applicable PRC laws and regulation, (iii) Mr. Zhang has not been disqualified from serving as a director or senior management member of our Company as a result of the above Incident and (iv) Mr. Zhang has not had any similar non-compliance incident since the occurrence of the Incident. In addition, our Company has also further enhanced our management in respect of change in our shareholders' shareholdings in our Company and has established a ledger account to monitor such changes in order to prevent the recurrence of any similar incident. Based on the independent due diligence conducted by the Sole Sponsor and our PRC Legal Advisor's view above, nothing has come to the Sole Sponsor's attention that would cause it to disagree with our view regarding Mr. Zhang's suitability to serve as a Director of our Company.
As advised by the PRC legal adviser, the relevant competent authorities have not taken further regulatory measures against Zhang Tianyu in respect of the above matters. The above regulatory letters and warning letters are regulatory measures, which do not fall under the types of administrative penalties stipulated in the Administrative Penalty Law of the People's

We have long-term on-site engineering team, quality control team and inventory management team at our EMS providers who have gained first-hand knowledge on production management and quality control such that they can swiftly respond to any issues arising from the manufacturing process at the Shenzhen Facility in the future. Additionally, we have established a supply chain management team with

FUTURE PLANS AND USE OF [REDACTED]
experienced team members to coordinate and manage each stage of the supply chain from procurement to delivery. We plan to further hire talents with experience in production management and enhance our training programs to reinforce and diversify the skillset of our employees at the Shenzhen Facility. We also plan to further enhance our production management system through quality control management, environment management and professional health management to ensure production efficiency and product quality.
Based on the above, our Directors are of the view that we have the relevant manufacturing expertise and capability to support the operation of the Shenzhen Facility.
The Shenzhen Facility will cover an estimated GFA of approximately 91,280 sq.m. and it is expected to commence operations around 2027.
The following table illustrates the designed production capacity of the Shenzhen Facility
| Designed annual production capacity as of December 31 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | |
| units | units | units | |
| Smart modules | 2,016,000 | 2,688,000 | 3,360,000 |
Specifically:
(i) approximately [REDACTED]% of the net [REDACTED], or HK$[REDACTED], is expected to be used for the construction of the Shenzhen Facility, out of which:
(a) approximately [REDACTED]% of the net [REDACTED], or HK$[REDACTED], is expected to be used for (1) the construction of the factories, (ii) the procurement of manufacturing equipment, primarily including surface-mount technology (SMT) machines, inspection machines, and printing machines;

FUTURE PLANS AND USE OF [REDACTED]
(b) approximately [REDACTED]% of the net [REDACTED], or HK$[REDACTED], is expected to be used for the construction of dormitories, dining halls, underground parking lot and other auxiliary facilities; and
(c) approximately [REDACTED]% of the net [REDACTED], or HK$[REDACTED], expected to be used for the payment of other expenses, primarily including construction management fees and design fees.
(ii) approximately [REDACTED]% of the net [REDACTED], or HK$[REDACTED], is expected to be used for recruiting [REDACTED] individuals associated with the Shenzhen Facility primarily related to (i) production, (ii) quality control and (iii) administrative support, with the average annual salary for each person expected to range from RMB[REDACTED] to RMB[REDACTED].
In early 2025, the U.S. government initiated a series of escalating tariffs and trade policies primarily targeting China, leading to retaliatory measures from China. See “Regulatory Overview–U.S. and China Tariff Policies” for details.
The recent Sino-U.S. trade tension is unlikely to have a material adverse impact on the cost and benefit structure of the Shenzhen Facility, because:
-
In 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, the revenue from our module products and solutions we directly shipped to the U.S. represented an insignificant amount of our total revenue, respectively;
-
During the Track Record Period, we sourced one of the key components, radio frequency chips, directly or indirectly from the U.S., as well as from other countries. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the four months ended April 30, 2025, our purchase amount of radio frequency chips directly or indirectly sourced from the U.S. amounted to RMB0.01 million, nil, RMB0.4 million and RMB0.1 million, respectively;
-
During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, none of our major customers or distributors requested renegotiation of the pricing of our products and solutions on the basis of tariff-related considerations; and
-
The designed production capacity of Shenzhen Facility can be absorbed by domestic demands and overseas demands from countries other than the U.S.

FUTURE PLANS AND USE OF [REDACTED]
- approximately [REDACTED]% of the net [REDACTED], or HK$[REDACTED], is expected to be allocated for the repayment of certain interest-bearing bank borrowings. Specifically:
(i) approximately [REDACTED]% of the net [REDACTED], or HK$[REDACTED], is expected to be used to repay a bank loan with the principal amount of RMB100.0 million from the Export-Import Bank of China (中國進出口銀行) (“EIBC Loan I”). The loan carries an effective annual interest rate of 2.40% due in November 2025. This loan was primarily used for general working capital purposes.
(ii) approximately [REDACTED]% of the net [REDACTED], or HK$[REDACTED], is expected to be used to repay a bank loan with the principal amount of RMB100.0 million from the Export-Import Bank of China (“EIBC Loan II”). The loan carries an effective annual interest rate of 2.24% due in April 2026. This loan was primarily used for general working capital purposes.
(iii) approximately [REDACTED]% of the net [REDACTED], or HK$[REDACTED], is expected to be used to repay a bank loan with the principal amount of RMB100.0 million from the China Merchants Bank (招商銀行) (“CMB Loan”). The loan carries an effective annual interest rate of 2.40% due in February 2026. This loan was primarily used for general working capital purposes.
-
approximately [REDACTED]% of the net [REDACTED], or HK$[REDACTED], is expected to be allocated for strategic investments and/or acquisitions. In particular, we plan to focus on companies in wireless communication, AI, robotics, and other areas that are complementary to or synergistic with us. We will consider businesses that have (i) established presence in the wireless communication industry and experience in areas such as AI technologies and robotics technologies; (ii) strong R&D capabilities and innovative technologies with the potential for commercialization that generates synergies with our technologies; and (iii) high-quality customer resources as well as geographical market coverage that can generate synergies with our existing customer base and geographic market. We plan to focus on targets with a robust track record period of business operation and innovation, as well as strong management team and team cohesiveness. According to Frost & Sullivan, there are sufficient potential investment targets of over 100 suitable targets available in the market. Through strategic investments or mergers and acquisitions, we aim to further enhance our forward-looking technological layout, expand our ecosystem and increase our market share. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had not identified specific investment or acquisition targets.
-
approximately [REDACTED]% of the net [REDACTED], or HK$[REDACTED], is expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate uses.

FUTURE PLANS AND USE OF [REDACTED]
Share, being the low end of the indicative [REDACTED] range, the net [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] will decrease to approximately HK$[REDACTED]. The above allocation of the net [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] will be adjusted on a pro rata basis in the event that the [REDACTED] is fixed at a higher or lower level compared to the midpoint of the indicative [REDACTED] range stated in this document. Any additional net [REDACTED] received from the exercise of the [REDACTED] will also be allocated to the above purposes on a pro-rata basis.
If any part of our development plan does not proceed as planned for reasons such as changes in government policies that would render the development of any of our projects not viable, or the occurrence of force majeure events, we will carefully evaluate the situation and may reallocate the net [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED].
To the extent that the net [REDACTED] of the [REDACTED] are not immediately used for the above purposes or if we are unable to put into effect any part of our future development plan as intended, and to the extent permitted by the relevant laws and regulations, we may deposit such net [REDACTED] into short-term interest-bearing accounts at licensed commercial banks and/or other authorized financial institutions (as defined under the Securities and Futures Ordinance or the applicable laws and regulations in other jurisdictions) so long as it is deemed to be in the best interests of the Company. In such event, we will comply with the appropriate disclosure requirements under the Listing Rules.

The Historical Financial Information set out on pages I-4 to I- [●] forms an integral part of this report, which has been prepared for inclusion in the document of the Company dated [●] (the "Document") in connection with the [REDACTED] of the H shares of the Company on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange").
Directors' responsibility for the Historical Financial Information
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of presentation and preparation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information, and for such internal control as the directors of the Company determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Reporting accountants' responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 200 “Accountants’ Reports on Historical Financial Information in Investment Circulars” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). This standard requires that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Financial Information is free from material misstatement.
Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of presentation and preparation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors of the Company, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial Information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purpose of the accountants’ report, a true and fair view of the Group’s consolidated financial position as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as at 30 April 2025, the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as at 30 April 2025 and of the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows of the Group for the Track Record Period in accordance with the basis of presentation and preparation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information.
Review of stub period comparative financial information
We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information of the Group which comprises consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the four months ended 30 April 2024 and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Comparative Financial Information”). The directors of the Company are responsible for the presentation and preparation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the basis of presentation and preparation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board ("IAASB"). A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information, for the purposes of the accountants' report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of presentation and preparation set out in Note 2.1 to the Historical Financial Information.
Report on matters under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance
Adjustments
In preparing the Historical Financial Information, no adjustments to the Underlying Financial Statements as defined on page I-☑ have been made.
Dividends
We refer to Note 13 to the Historical Financial Information which contains information about the dividends paid by the Company in respect of the Track Record Period.

- SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of presentation and preparation
The Historical Financial Information have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), which collective terms include all applicable individual Accounting Standards of IFRS Accounting Standards, International Accounting Standards ("ISAs") and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
All IFRSs are effective for the accounting period beginning on 1 January 2024, together with the relevant transitional provisions, have been early adopted by the Group in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information throughout the Track Record Period. The early adoption of the IFRSs do not have any significant impact on the financial positions or results of the Group during the Track Record Period.
The material accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these Historical Financial Information are summarised below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented unless otherwise stated.
These Historical Financial Information have been prepared at the historical cost basis except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are stated of fair value.
It should be noted that accounting estimates and assumptions are used in preparation of the Historical Financial Information. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge and judgement of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Historical Financial Information are disclosed in note 4.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
2.2 Basis of consolidation
The Historical Financial Information incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to 31 December each year.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. When assessing whether the Group has power over the entity, only substantive rights relating to the entity (held by the Group and others) are considered.
The Group includes the income and expenses of a subsidiary in the Historical Financial Informational from the date it gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between group companies are eliminated in preparing the Historical Financial Information. Where unrealised losses on sales of intra-group asset are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from the Group's perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests represent the equity on a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the Company, and in respect of which the Group has not agreed any additional terms with the holders of those interests which would result in the Group as a whole having a contractual obligation in respect of those interests that meets the definition of a financial liability. For each business combination, the Group can elect to measure any non-controlling interests either at fair value or at their proportionate share of the subsidiary's net identifiable assets.
Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity attributable to the owners of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between non-controlling interests and the owners of the Company.
Changes in the Group's interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the change in relative interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Where certain assets of the subsidiary are measured at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets (i.e., reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained profits). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
In the Company's statement of financial position, subsidiaries are carried at cost less any impairment loss unless the subsidiary is held for sale or included in a disposal group. Cost is adjusted to reflect changes in consideration arising from contingent consideration amendments. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment.
The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable at the reporting date. All dividends whether received out of the investee's pre or post-acquisition profits are recognised in the Company's profit or loss.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
2.3 Acquisition of subsidiaries
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
The Group determines that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and assets include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The acquired process is considered substantive if it is critical to the ability to continue producing outputs, and the inputs acquired include an organised workforce with necessary skills, knowledge, or experience to perform that process or it significantly contributes to the ability to continue producing outputs and is considered unique or scarce or cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay in the ability to continue producing outputs.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Consideration transferred as part of a business combination does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. The gain or loss on the settlement of any pre-existing relationship is recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value on the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as bargain purchase gain.
Where the consideration the Group transferred in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and considered as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with the corresponding adjustments being made against goodwill or gain on bargain purchase. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Measurement period does not exceed one year from the acquisition date. The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not subsequently remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as a financial liability is subsequently remeasured at each reporting dates at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
Changes in the value of the previously held equity interest recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity before the acquisition date are reclassified to profit or loss when the Group obtains control over the acquiree. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

2.4 Foreign currency translation
The Historical Financial Information are presented in Renminbi ("RMB"), which is also the functional currency of the Company.
In the individual financial statements of the consolidated entities, foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the individual entity using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the reporting date retranslation of monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
In the Historical Financial Information, all individual financial statements of foreign operations, originally presented in a currency different from the Group's presentation currency, have been converted into RMB. Assets and liabilities have been translated into RMB at the closing rates at the end of the reporting period. Income and expenses have been converted into the US dollars at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates, or at the average rates over the reporting period provided that the exchange rates do not fluctuate significantly. Any differences arising from this procedure have been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in the exchange reserve in equity.
2.5 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment (other than construction in progress as described below) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Costs include professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than construction in progress) less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method at the following rates per annum:
Research equipment. 5 years
Machinery and equipment 3-10 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Office equipment 3-5 years
Estimates of residual value and useful life are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
Gain or loss arising on retirement or disposal is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
2.6 Goodwill
Set out below are the accounting policies on goodwill arising on acquisition of a subsidiary. Accounting for goodwill arising on acquisition of interest in an associate or a joint venture is set out in note 19.
Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an asset at the date that control is acquired (the acquisition date). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities measured as at the acquisition date.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to Cash-Generating Units (“CGU” or “CGUs”) and is tested annually for impairment (see note 2.19).
On subsequent disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill capitalised is included in the determination of the amount of gain or loss on disposal.
2.7 Intangible assets and research and development activities
Intangible assets
Acquired intangible assets are recognised initially at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful lives is provided on straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortisation commences when the intangible assets are available for use. The following useful lives are applied:
Patent ... 2-10 years
Development platform ... 5-10 years
Customer relationships ... 7 years
Software ... 3-10 years
The assets’ amortisation methods and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. Intangible assets, with finite and indefinite useful lives, are tested for impairment as described below in note 2.19.
Research and development expenses
Costs associated with research activities are expensed in profit or loss as they incur. Costs that are directly attributable to development activities are recognised as intangible assets provided they meet all of the following recognition requirements:
(i) demonstration of technical feasibility of the prospective product for internal use or sale;
(ii) there is intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
(iii) the Group’s ability to use or sell the intangible asset is demonstrated;
(iv) the intangible asset will generate probable economic benefits through internal use or sale;
(v) sufficient technical, financial and other resources are available for completion; and
(vi) the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset can be reliably measured.
Direct costs include employee costs incurred on development activities along with an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. The costs of development of internally generated software, products or knowhow that meet the above recognition criteria are recognised as intangible assets. They are subject to the same subsequent measurement method as acquired intangible assets.
All other development costs are expensed as incurred.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
2.8 Financial instruments
Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all of its risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Financial assets
Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", all financial assets are initially measured at fair value, in case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into amortised cost, FVTPL or fair value through other comprehensive income.
The classification is determined by both:
- the entity's business model for managing the financial asset; and
- the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for expected credit losses ("ECL") of trade and other receivables which is presented.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
Debt investments
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVTPL):
- they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, pledged time deposits, trade and other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.
Financial assets at FVTOCI
If the contractual cash flows of the investment comprise solely payments of principal and interest and the investment is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collection of contractual cash flows and sale, subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income, except for the recognition in profit or loss of ECL, interest income (calculated using the effective interest method) and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the investment is derecognised, the amount accumulated in other comprehensive income is recycled from equity to profit or loss.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Financial liabilities
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Group’s financial liabilities include bank and other borrowings, leases liabilities and trade and other payables.
Financial liabilities other than lease liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at FVTPL.
Subsequently, financial liabilities other than lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives which are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included in financial expense and income.
Accounting policies of lease liabilities are set out in note 2.13.
Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the net of transaction costs and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless as at the end of the reporting period, the Group has a right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the end of the reporting period.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
2.9 Impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise ECL — the “ECL model”. Instruments within the scope included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and trade receivables.
The Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring ECL, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.
In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:
- financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (“Stage 1”); and
- financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (“Stage 2”).
“Stage 3” would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.
“12-month ECL” are recognised for the Stage 1 category while “lifetime ECL” are recognised for the Stage 2 category.
Measurement of the ECL is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Trade receivables
For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECL and recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECL at each reporting date. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial assets. For trade receivables, the Group assesses ECL under IFRS 9 based on shared credit risk characteristics and aging as well as the corresponding historical credit losses during that period, and adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Other financial assets measured at amortised cost and at FVTOCI
The Group measures the loss allowance for deposits, other receivables and other financial assets at FVTOCI equal to 12-month ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increase in the likelihood of risk of default occurring since initial recognition.
In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial assets at the reporting date with the risk of default occurring on the financial assets at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.
In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly:
- an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument's external (if available) or internal credit rating;
- significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor;
- existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations; and
- an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor.
Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.
Despite the foregoing, the Group assumes that the credit risk on a debt instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the debt instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the end of each reporting period. A debt instrument is determined to have low credit risk if it has a low risk of default, the borrower has strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.
For internal credit risk management, the Group considers an event of default occurs when information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group, in full (without taking into account any collateral held by the Group).
2.10 Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and applicable selling expenses. Cost is determined using the weighted average basis.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
2.11 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with banks and short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows presentation, cash and cash equivalents include bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.
2.12 Contract liabilities
A contract liability is recognised when the customer pays consideration before the Group recognises the related revenue. A contract liability would also be recognised if the Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration before the Group recognises the related revenue. In such cases, a corresponding receivable would also be recognised.
2.13 Leases
(a) Definition of a lease and the Group as lessee
At inception of a contract, the Group considers whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an identified asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To apply this definition, the Group assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether:
- the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Group;
- the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract; and
- the Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Group assess whether it has the right to direct 'how and for what purpose' the asset is used throughout the period of use.
For contracts that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of properties in which the Group is a lessee, the Group elected not to separate non-lease components and will instead account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
At lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the consolidated statement of financial position. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred by the Group, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any lease incentives received).
Except for those right-of-use assets meeting the definition of investment properties and those relating to a class of property, plant and equipment to which revaluation model was applied, the Group depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership at the end of the lease term. The Group also assesses the right-of-use asset (except for those meeting the definition of investment properties) for impairment when such indicator exists.
At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable payments based on an index or rate, and amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payment of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for lease payments made and increased for interest cost on the lease liability. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or lease modification, or if there are changes in in-substance fixed payments. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
The Group remeasures lease liabilities whenever:
- there are changes in lease term or in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the date of reassessment;
- the lease payments changes due to changes in market rental rates following a market rent review/expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the related lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate.
For lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group remeasures the lease liability based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of modification.
When the lease is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-use asset, or profit and loss if the right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero.
The Group has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these leases are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 month or less.
Refundable rental deposits paid are accounted for under IFRS 9 and initially measured at fair value. Adjustments to fair value at initial recognition are considered as additional lease payments and included in the cost of right-of-use assets.
(b) The Group as lessor
As a lessor, the Group classifies its leases as either operating or finance leases.
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset, and classified as an operating lease if it does not.
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for the head lease and the sub-leases as two separate contracts. The sub-leases are classified as a finance or operating lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If the head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the short-term lease exemption, then the Group classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
The Group sub-leases some of its properties and the sub-lease contracts are classified as finance lease/operating leases.
(c) Sale and leaseback transactions
The Group as a seller-lessee
For a transfer that satisfies the requirements as a sale in accordance with HKFRS 15, the Group as a seller-lessee measures the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset and recognises any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor only. Right of use asset and lease liability with fixed payments are subsequently measured in accordance with the Group's accounting policies above.
(d) Right-of-use assets
Right-of-use assets represent the upfront payment for long-term land lease in which the payment can be reliably measured. It is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the term of the lease/right-of-use except where an alternative basis is more representative of the time pattern of benefits to be derived by the Group from use of the land.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
2.14 Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.
All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Group, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
Contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination which are present obligations at the date of acquisition are initially recognised at fair value, provided the fair value can be reliably measured. After the initial recognition at fair value, such contingent liabilities are recognised at the higher of the amount initially recognised, less accumulated amortisation where appropriate, and the amount that would be recognised in a comparable provision as described above. Contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination that cannot be reliably fair valued or were not present obligations at the date of acquisition are disclosed as per above.
2.15 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Share capital is recognised at the amount of consideration of shares issued, after deducting any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares (net of any related income tax benefit) to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction.
2.16 Discontinued operation
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale. The component comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
When an operation is classified as discontinued, a single amount in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income comprising the total of: (i) the post-tax profit or loss of discontinued operations and (ii) the post-tax gain or loss recognised on the measurement to fair value less costs to sell or on the disposal of the assets or disposal group(s) constituting the discontinued operation.
2.17 Revenue recognition
Revenue arises mainly from the sales of goods.
To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:
- Identifying the contract with a customer
- Identifying the performance obligations
- Determining the transaction price
- Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
- Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied
In all cases, the total transaction price for a contract is allocated amongst the various performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The transaction price for a contract excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, when the Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Further details of the Group's revenue and other income recognition policies are as follows:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods for a fixed fee is recognised when or as the Group transfers control of the assets to the customer. For non cross-border sales, revenue is recognized when the products have been dispatched and the customer has signed for acceptance. For cross-border sales, revenue is recognized when the goods are delivered to the customer's designated location and the customs return the export declaration and bill of lading.
The Group's standard sales terms are generally non-cancellable and non-returnable, other than for defective merchandise covered under the Group's standard warranty provision, which covers a one to two-year period depending on the product. The Group does not offer any extended warranties for purchase and warranty is recorded in cost of sales.
Sales-related warranties cannot be purchased separately and are served as an assurance that the products sold comply with agreed-upon specifications (i.e. assurance-type warranties). Accordingly, the Group accounts for warranties in accordance with HKAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets".
Service income
Revenue from provision of services between the Group and its customers generally include technical services. If the customers obtain and consume the economic benefits brought by the Group's performance when the Group has performed its obligations, the Group may treat its performance obligation has been satisfied within a certain period of time and recognize the respective revenue over time, except for those revenue where the progress of performance cannot be reasonably determined.
Revenue from provision of services is recognized when the Company has satisfied the corresponding performance obligation in accordance with the contract terms, and has received acceptance and other proof of receipt form the customers.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.
2.18 Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants relating to the purchase of assets are included in liabilities as "deferred income" in the consolidated statement of financial position and are recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the expected lives of the related assets/deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and consequently are effectively recognised in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset by way of reduced depreciation expense.
Government grants relating to income is presented in gross under "other income" in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
2.19 Impairment of non-financial assets
The following assets are subject to impairment testing:
- Goodwill arising on acquisition of a subsidiary;
- Other intangible assets;
- Property, plant and equipment;
- Right-of-use assets; and
-
The Company's interests in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful life or those not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication that they are impaired. All other assets are tested for impairment whenever there are indications that the asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs of disposal, and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of time value of money and the risk specific to the asset.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows independently (i.e. a CGU). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at CGU level. Corporate assets are allocated to individual CGUs, when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGUs for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows independently (i.e. a CGU). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at CGU level. Corporate assets are allocated to individual CGUs, when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGUs for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. Goodwill in particular is allocated to those CGUs that are expected to benefit from synergies of the related business combination and represent the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purpose and not be larger than an operating segment.
Impairment losses recognised for CGUs, to which goodwill has been allocated, are credited initially to the carrying amount of goodwill. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash generating unit, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less cost of disposal, or value in use, if determinable.
An impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount and only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
Impairment losses recognised in an interim period in respect of goodwill are not reversed in a subsequent period. This is the case even if no loss, or a smaller loss, would have been recognised had the impairment been assessed only at the end of the financial year to which the interim period relates.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount and only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
2.20 Employee benefits
Retirement benefit
(a) PRC
In accordance with the rules and regulations in the PRC, the PRC based employees of the Group participate in various defined contributions retirement benefit plans organised by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC under which the Group and the PRC based employees are required to make monthly contributions to these plans calculated as a percentage of the employees' salaries, subject to a certain ceiling.
- I-31 -
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
The municipal and provincial governments undertake to assure the retirement benefit obligations of all existing and future retired PRC based employees payable under the plans described above. Other than the monthly contributions, the Group has no further obligation for the payment of retirement and other post-retirement benefits of its employees. The assets of these plans are held separately from those of the Group in independent administrated funds managed by the PRC government.
(b) France
For the post-employment benefit obligations, an actuarial valuation is conducted by an independent actuary as of the annual balance sheet date to determine the cost of providing benefits using the expected accrued benefit unit method. The post-employment benefit costs are categorised as follows:
(i) Service cost (including current and past service cost, and gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);
(ii) Net interest expense or income; and
(iii) Changes resulting from the remeasurement of post-employment benefit obligations.
Unless other accounting standards require or allow employee benefit costs to be included in asset costs, the company will recognize the items of (a) and (b) in profit or loss for 2022, 2023 and 2024; item (c) will be recognized in other comprehensive income and will not be reclassified to profit or loss in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Upon the termination of the original defined benefit plan, the portion previously recognized in other comprehensive income will be fully transferred to retained earnings within equity.
(c) Other countries
The Group's contributions to the defined contribution retirement scheme are expensed as incurred.
Housing funds, medical insurances and other social insurances
Employees of the Group in the PRC are entitled to participate in various government-supervised housing funds, medical insurances and other social insurance plan. The Group contributes on a monthly basis to these funds based on certain percentages of the salaries of the employees, subject to certain ceiling. The Group's liability in respect of these funds is limited to the contributions payable at the reporting date.
Contributions to the housing funds, medical insurances and other social insurances are expensed as incurred.
Short-term employee benefits
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.
Non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when it recognises costs for any related restructuring.
Share-based employee compensation
The Group operates equity-settled share-based compensation plans for remuneration of its employees.
All employee services received in exchange for the grant of any share-based compensation are measured at their fair values. These are indirectly determined by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. This fair value is appraised at the grant date and excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets and performance conditions).
- I-32 -
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
All share-based compensation is recognised as an expense in profit or loss over the vesting period if vesting conditions apply, or recognised as an expense in full at the grant date when the equity instruments granted vest immediately unless the compensation qualifies for recognition as asset, with a corresponding increase in the "share option reserve" in equity. If vesting conditions apply, the expense is recognised over the vesting period based on the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of equity instruments that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised, if there is any indication that the number of equity instruments expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any adjustment to cumulative share-based compensation resulting from a revision is recognised in the current period. The number of vested options ultimately exercised by holders does not impact the expense recorded in any period.
At the time when the share options are exercised, the amount previously recognised in "share option reserve" will be transferred to "share capital". After vesting date, when the vested share options are later forfeited or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in "share option reserve" will be transferred to "retained profits".
2.21 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.22 Accounting for income taxes
Income tax comprises current tax and deferred tax.
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are unpaid at the end of the reporting period. They are calculated according to the tax rates and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method on temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other unused tax credits, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit, including existing taxable temporary differences, will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither taxable nor accounting profit or loss.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax is calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply in the period the liability is settled or the asset realised, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised in profit or loss, or in other comprehensive income or directly in equity if they relate to items that are charged or credited to other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
When different tax rates apply to different levels of taxable income, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the average tax rates that are expected to apply to the taxable income of the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
The determination of the average tax rates requires an estimation of (i) when the existing temporary differences will reverse and (ii) the amount of future taxable profit in those years. The estimate of future taxable profit includes:
- income or loss excluding reversals of temporary differences; and
- reversals of existing temporary differences.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are presented in net if, and only if,
(a) the Group has the legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and
(b) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Group presents deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in net if, and only if,
(a) the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
(b) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
(i) the same taxable entity; or
(ii) different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
2.23 Segment reporting
The Group identifies operating segments and prepares segment information based on the regular internal financial information reported to the chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") for their decisions about resources allocation to the Group's business components and for their review of the performance of those components. The business components in the internal financial information reported to the CODM are determined by the Group's major product and service lines.
The CODM has been identified as the executive directors of the Company, who determine the operating segments of the Group and review the Group's internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. All of the Group's business operations relate to the module products and solutions with similar economic characteristics. Accordingly, the executive directors review the performance of the Group as a single business segment. No separate analysis of the segment results by reportable segment is necessary.
2.24 Related parties
For the purposes of these Historical Financial Information, a party is considered to be related to the Group if:
(a) the party is a person or a close member of that person's family and if that person:
(i) has control or joint control over the Group;
(ii) has significant influence over the Group; or
(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or of a parent of the Group.
(b) the party is an entity and if any of the following conditions applies:
(i) the entity and the Group are members of the same group.
(ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).
(iii) the entity and the Group are joint ventures of the same third party.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
IFRS 18, and amendments to other standards, will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early application permitted. The application of the new standard is not expected to have material impact on the financial performance and financial position the Group but is expected to affect the disclosures in the future financial statements. The Group will continue to assess the impact of IFRS 18 on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Except for the IFRS 18, the directors of the Company anticipate that the application of these amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards will have no material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements in the foreseeable future.
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
4.1 Estimation uncertainty
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
Provision for impairment of trade and other receivables
The Group makes allowances on items subjects to ECL (including trade and other receivables and other financial assets measured at amortised cost) based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period as set out in note 2.9.
As at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as at 30 April 2025, the aggregate carrying amount of trade and other receivables amounted to RMB2,896,241,000, RMB2,949,713,000, RMB3,420,533,000 and RMB 3,494,971,000 net of loss allowance of RMB43,799,000, RMB35,945,000, RMB47,669,000 and RMB49,684,000 respectively.
When the actual future cash flows are different from expected, such difference will impact the carrying amount of trade and other receivables and government subsidy receivables and related credit losses in the periods in which such estimate has been changed.
Current and deferred income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in several jurisdictions. There are many transactions and events for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgment is required from the Group in determining the provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Net realisable value of inventories
Net realisable value of inventories is based on estimated selling price less any estimated costs to be incurred to completion and disposal with reference to prevailing market information. These estimates are based on the current market condition and the historical experience in selling goods of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of changes in market conditions. The Group reassesses the estimation at the end of each reporting period. During the Track Record Period, RMB6,683,000, RMB30,256,000 and RMB23,238,000 has been impaired during the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and RMB13,333,000 has been reversed during four months ended 30 April 2025.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
4.2 Critical accounting judgements
Research and development activities
Careful judgement by the Group's management is applied when deciding whether the recognition requirements for development costs have been met. This is necessary as the economic success of any product development is uncertain and may be subject to future technical problems at the time of recognition. Judgements are based on the best information available at each reporting date. In addition, all internal activities related to the research and development of new software, products or know how are continuously monitored by the Group's management.
Determination of the lease term in lease contracts and discount rate
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension options, or not exercise a termination option. Factors considered include:
- contractual terms and conditions for the optional periods compared with market rates (e.g. whether the amount of payments in the optional periods is below the market rates);
- the extent of leasehold improvements undertaken by the Group;
- costs relating to termination of the lease (e.g. relocation costs, costs of identifying another underlying asset suitable for the Group's needs); and
- Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated), which in turn affect the carrying amounts of lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets.
In determining the discount rate, the Group is required to exercise considerable judgement in relation to determining the discount rate taking into account the nature of the underlying assets and the terms and conditions of the leases, at both the commencement date and effective date of the modification.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Management has determined the values assigned to each of the above key assumptions as follows:
Assumption. Approach used to determine values
Revenue annual growth rate. Revenue annual growth rate is estimated based on past performance and management's expectations of market development. The management of the Group used a projection period for the cash flow forecast, which was in line with the period length used in the corresponding strategic planning and long-term budgeting purpose for many years. Based on the industry knowledge and understanding of the market and business cycle, the management considered that before the projections move into a long term stable period, such projection was reasonable and supportable.
Gross margin. Based on past performance and management's expectations for the future.
Pre-tax discount rate. The pre-tax discount rate was determined using a risk premium approach, based on the risk-free rate aligned with the cash flow projection period and adjusted for specific risk factors including market risk, capital investment risk, technology development risk, quality control and execution risk. The rate reflects the relationship between the project's cost of capital and the associated future cash flows.
Based on management's assessment on the recoverable amount of the CGU, no impairment provision was considered necessary as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as at 30 April 2025.
Impact of possible changes in key assumption
Based on management's assessment on the recoverable amounts, the headroom of ZheJiang Nodecom Group, Rolling Group and Sevenfold Group as follows:
| As at 31 December | As at 30 April | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | |
| RMB'000 | RMB'000 | RMB'000 | RMB'000 | |
| ZheJiang Nodecom Group | 19,884 | 13,658 | 24,327 | 12,147 |
| Rolling Group | 205,328 | 235,549 | - | - |
| Sevenfold Group | - | - | 24,045 | 22,054 |
For the sensitivity analysis of ZheJiang Nodecom Group conducted during the impairment review, had there been reasonably possible changes with reduction of the revenue annual growth rate of each year during the forecast period by 1%, or a reduction of the gross margin of each year during the forecast period by 0.5%, or an increase in pre-tax discount rate by 1%, it would cause the reduction of the recoverable amount of ZheJiang Nodecom Group as follows, if one of the key assumptions was to change while other variable held constant: As at 31 December 2022, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB4,117,000, RMB13,098,000 and RMB5,029,000. As at 31 December 2023, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB3,117,000, RMB7,254,000 and RMB3,085,000. As at 31 December 2024, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB3,207,000, RMB6,998,000 and RMB3,652,000. As at 30 April 2025, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB4,073,000, RMB4,299,000 and RMB6,523,000.
For the sensitivity analysis of Rolling Group conducted during the impairment review, had there been reasonably possible changes with reduction of the revenue annual growth rate of each year during the forecast period by 1%, or a reduction of the gross margin of each year during the forecast period by 0.5%, or an increase in pre-tax discount rate by 1%, it would cause the reduction of the recoverable amount of Rolling Group as follows, if one of the key assumptions was to change while other variable held constant: As at 31 December 2022, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB122,207,000, RMB76,902,000 and RMB115,676,000. As at 31 December 2023, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB103,384,000, RMB82,634,000 and RMB87,161,000.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
For the sensitivity analysis of Sevenfold Group conducted during the impairment review, had there been reasonably possible changes with reduction of the revenue annual growth rate of each year during the forecast period by 1%, or a reduction of the gross margin of each year during the forecast period by 0.5%, or an increase in pre-tax discount rate by 1%, it would cause the reduction of the recoverable amount of Rolling Group as follows, if one of the key assumptions was to change while other variable held constant: As at 31 December 2024, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB7,566,000, RMB3,346,000 and RMB2,998,000. As at 30 April 2025, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB8,515,000, RMB4,506,000 and RMB6,744,000.
As disclosed above, the management has considered and assessed reasonably possible changes for the key assumptions and has not identified any instances that would cause the carrying amounts of the CGUs to exceed their recoverable amounts as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 30 April 2025, respectively.

Impairment tests for development cost with an indefinite useful life
The carrying amount of development cost allocated to the group of CGUs are as follows:
| As at 31 December | As at 30 April | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | |
| RMB'000 | RMB'000 | RMB'000 | RMB'000 | |
| Data transmission modules | 13,175 | 3,907 | 14,212 | 13,083 |

| Less: Impairment | - | - | - | - |
| 23,985 | 12,686 | 28,364 | 29,770 |
The following table sets out the key assumptions used for value in use calculations of development cost.
| As at 31 December | As at 30 April | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | |
| (27.99%)- | (31.15%)- | (82.17%)- | (82.17%)- | |
| Revenue annual growth rate | 111.35% | 61.90% | 140.49% | 151.75% |
| Contribution rate | 5.50% | 5.50% | 5.50% | 5.50% |
| Pre-tax discount rate | 15.77% | 15.57% | 15.44% | 15.70% |
Management has determined the values assigned to each of the above key assumptions as follows:
Assumption. Approach used to determine values
Revenue annual growth rate. Revenue annual growth rate is estimated based on past performance and management's expectations of market development. The management of the Group used a projection period for the cash flow forecast, which was in line with the period length used in the corresponding strategic planning and long-term budgeting purpose for many years. Based on the industry knowledge and understanding of the market and business cycle, the management considered that before the projections move into a long term stable period, such projection was reasonable and supportable.
Contribution rate. The applied contribution rate reflects the estimated revenue contribution or economic return expected from the development projects. This rate was determined with reference to factors such as the project's technical exclusivity, commercialization timeline, industry acceptance, target market structure, and product lifecycle, to reasonably estimate the future revenue-generating potential.
Pre-tax discount rate. The pre-tax discount rate was determined using a risk premium approach, based on the risk-free rate aligned with the cash flow projection period and adjusted for specific risk factors including market risk, capital investment risk, technology development risk, quality control and execution risk. The rate reflects the relationship between the project's cost of capital and the associated future cash flows.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
Based on management's assessment on the recoverable amount of development cost, no impairment provision was considered necessary as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as at 30 April 2025.
Impact of possible changes in key assumption
Based on management's assessment on the recoverable amounts, the headroom of development cost as follows:
| As at 31 December | As at 30 April | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | |
| RMB'000 | RMB'000 | RMB'000 | RMB'000 | |
| Data transmission modules | 3,588 | 82,231 | 96,008 | 148,978 |
| Smart modules | 77,143 | 49,638 | 117,548 | 125,242 |
| Robotic and other solutions | - | - | 7,306 | 461 |
For the sensitivity analysis of data transmission modules conducted during the impairment review, had there been reasonably possible changes with reduction of the revenue annual growth rate of each year during the forecast period by 1%, or a reduction of contribution rate of each year during the forecast period by 0.1%, or an increase in pre-tax discount rate by 1%, it would cause the reduction of the recoverable amount of development cost as follows, if one of the key assumptions was to change while other variable held constant: As at 31 December 2022, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB210,000, RMB344,000 and RMB285,000. As at 31 December 2023, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB4,207,000, RMB1,614,000 and RMB1,318,000. As at 31 December 2024, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB5,760,000, RMB2,164,000 and RMB1,946,000. As at 30 April 2025, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB1,420,000, RMB2,999,000 and RMB2,692,000.
For the sensitivity analysis of smart modules conducted during the impairment review, had there been reasonably possible changes with reduction of the revenue annual growth rate of each year during the forecast period by 1%, or a reduction of contribution rate of each year during the forecast period by 0.1%, or an increase in pre-tax discount rate by 1%, it would cause the reduction of the recoverable amount of development cost as follows, if one of the key assumptions was to change while other variable held constant: As at 31 December 2022, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB956,000, RMB1,657,000 and RMB1,377,000. As at 31 December 2023, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB2,881,000, RMB1,178,000 and RMB916,000. As at 31 December 2024, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB4,115,000, RMB2,434,000 and RMB1,359,000. As at 30 April 2025, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB1,031,000, RMB2,539,000 and RMB1,068,000.
For the sensitivity analysis of robotic and other solutions conducted during the impairment review, had there been reasonably possible changes with reduction of the revenue annual growth rate of each year during the forecast period by 1%, or a reduction of contribution rate of each year during the forecast period by 0.1%, or an increase in pre-tax discount rate by 1%, it would cause the reduction of the recoverable amount of development cost as follows, if one of the key assumptions was to change while other variable held constant: As at 31 December 2024, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB773,000, RMB339,000 and RMB259,000. As at 30 April 2025, the recoverable amount would decrease by RMB110,000, RMB174,000 and RMB162,000.
As disclosed above, the management has considered and assessed reasonably possible changes for the key assumptions and has not identified any instances that would cause the carrying amounts of the CGUs to exceed their recoverable amounts as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 30 April 2025, respectively.

The directors of the Company consider that the fair values of trade and other receivables which are expected to be recovered during the Track Record Period are not materially different from their carrying amounts because these balances have short maturity periods on their inception.
Trade receivables include bills received amounting to RMB62,003,000, RMB86,513,000, RMB119,222,000 and RMB95,037,000, held by the Group for future settlement of trade receivables as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as at April 30, 2025 respectively and net of loss allowance of RMBNil, RMBNil, RMB328,000 and RMB439,000 respectively, of which certain bills issued by third parties are further endorsed by the Group with recourse for settlement of payables. The Group continues to recognise their full carrying amount at the end of both reporting periods. All bills received by the Group are with a maturity period of less than 1 year.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
As at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as at 30 April 2025, included in bank and cash balances of the Group of approximately RMB251,951,000, RMB559,567,000, RMB498,794,000 and RMB307,392,000 are bank balances denominated in Renminbi ("RMB"). RMB is not a freely convertible currency. Under the PRC's Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and Administration of Settlement and Sales and Payment of Foreign Exchange Regulations, the Group is permitted to exchange RMB for foreign currencies through banks that are authorised to conduct foreign exchange business.
In respect of the legal case between Faiot Co., Ltd and 深圳蓮偶科技有限公司, certain bank deposits of Faiot Co., Ltd were temporarily not available for use by the Group. The amount of cash and cash equivalents inaccessible to the Group as at 31 December 2024 and 30 April 2025 is RMB1,617,000 and RMB8,520,000 respectively.

| 2,245,453 | 2,347,426 | 2,407,388 | 2,488,152 |
Majority amounts are short term and hence the carrying amounts of the Group's trade payables, bills payables, salaries payables and other payables are considered to be a reasonable approximation of fair value.
During the Track Record Period, the Group endorsed certain bills receivable accepted by banks in the PRC (the "Endorsed bills") to certain of its suppliers in order to settle the trade payables due to such suppliers (the "Endorsement"). In the opinion of the directors, the Group has retained the substantial risks and rewards, which include default risks relating to such Endorsed Bills, and accordingly, it continued to recognise the full carrying amounts of the Endorsed Bills and the associated trade payables settled. Subsequent to the Endorsement, the Group did not retain any rights on the use of the Endorsed Bills, including the sale, transfer or pledge of the Endorsed Bills to any other third parties.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
The fair value of the restricted shares issued was assessed based on the market price of the Company's shares at the respective grant date. The expected dividends and time value of money for the expected dividends during the vesting period were taken into account when assessing the fair value of the restricted shares. The weighted average fair value of restricted shares granted during the year ended 31 December 2022 and 2023 were approximately RMB11.82 and RMB11.13 per share respectively.
The Group recognised the expense of RMB4,965,000, RMB9,303,000, RMB1,295,000 and RMB1,229,000 for the year ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and four months ended 30 April 2025 in relation to the restricted share incentive schemes respectively.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
The fair values of options granted were determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model that takes into account factors specific to the share incentive plans. The following principal assumptions were used in the valuation:
| Share Option Scheme 2021 | Vesting Period 1 | Vesting Period 2 | Vesting Period 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Share price at date of grant | 51.96 | 51.96 | 51.96 |
| Expected volatility | 26.84% | 28.13% | 28.42% |
| Expected option life | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Dividend yield | 0.59% | 0.59% | 0.59% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 2.56% | 2.75% | 2.83% |
| Fair value at grant date | 6.04 | 9.12 | 11.40 |
| Exercise price at date of grant | 51.83 | 51.83 | 51.83 |
The underlying expected volatility was determined by reference to historical data, calculated based on expected life of share options. Expectations of early exercise were incorporated into the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model. No special features pertinent to the options granted were incorporated into measurement of fair value.
In total, RMB407,000, RMB629,000 and RMB1,190,000 and RMBNil of share option expense has been recognised in profit or loss for year ended 31 December 2022, 2023, 2024 and four months ended 30 April 2025, respectively. The corresponding amount of which has been credited to "share option reserve". No liabilities were recognised due to share options.

42.2 Foreign currency risk
The Group's subsidiaries mainly operate in the PRC and overseas and majority of the transactions are settled in RMB and USD, being the functional currency of the group entities to which the transactions relate. Foreign currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. As at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as at 30 April 2025, the Group did not have significant foreign currency risk from its operations.

42.3 Interest rate risk
Other than the interest-bearing bank deposits, the Group has no other significant interest-bearing assets bearing variable rates. It is not anticipated there is any significant impact to these interest-bearing assets resulted from the changes in interest rates, because the interest rates of bank balances are not expected to change significantly.
The Group’s bank and other borrowings bears variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group has not hedged against such a risk as it does not see the benefit in so doing.
Based on the balance of its interest-bearing borrowings as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as at 30 April 2025, it is estimated that should there be a general increase/decrease of 50 basis point change in interest rates would have affected the Group’s results of operations profits for the year ended 31 December 2022, 2023, 2024 and as at 30 April 2025 by approximately RMB139,000, RMB123,000, RMB181,000 and RMB217,000, respectively.
42.4 Price risk
The Group is not exposed to significant price risk as there has been no involvement with equity investment on an active market.
42.5 Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument would fail to discharge its obligation under the terms of the financial instrument and cause a financial loss to the Group.
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the consolidated statement of financial position as at years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and four months ended 30 April 2025 is the carrying amount as disclosed in note 42.1.
Trade receivables
The Group’s policy is to deal with credit worthy counterparties. Credit terms are granted to new customers after a credit worthiness assessment. When considered appropriate, customers may be requested to provide proof as to their financial position. Where available at reasonable cost, external credit ratings and/or reports on customers are obtained and used. Customers who are not considered creditworthy are required to pay in advance or on delivery of goods and services. Payment record of customers is closely monitored. It is not the Group’s policy to request collateral from its customers.
The Group applied the simplified approach to provide for impairment for ECL prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for impairment of all trade receivables.
For trade receivables, the Group assesses ECL under IFRS 9 based on shared credit risk characteristics and aging as well as the corresponding historical credit losses during that period. The Group also made individual assessment on the recoverability of its trade and bills receivables at amortized cost for certain customer based on historical settlement record. The historical rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking macroeconomic factors affecting the customer’s ability to settle the amount outstanding.
Trade receivables are written off (i.e. derecognised) when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Failure to engage with the Group on alternative payment arrangement amongst other is considered indicators of no reasonable expectation of recovery.
The Group’s concentration of credit risk by geographical location is located in the Mainland China in majority as at years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and four months ended 30 April 2025.

| 2,071,372 | 48,811 | 2,022,561 |
Other financial assets at amortised cost and at FVTOCI
Other financial assets at amortised cost and at FVTOCI include deposits, other receivables, pledged deposits and cash at bank. Other financial assets at FVTOCI include unlisted equity securities and bills receivables.
In order to minimise the credit risk of deposits and other receivables, the management would make periodic collective and individual assessment on the recoverability of other receivables based on historical settlement records and past experience as well as current external information, and adjusted to reflect probability-weighted forward-looking information, including the default rate where the relevant debtors operates. Other monitoring procedures are in place to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In these regards, the credit risk of deposits and other receivables are considered to be low.
To manage this risk arising from pledged deposits and cash and cash equivalents, the Group mainly transacts with banks with high credit rating. There has been no recent history of default in relation to these financial institutions. The expected credit loss is minimal.

42.7 Fair value measurements
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability and significance of inputs to the measurements, as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and not using significant unobservable inputs.
Level 3: significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the financial asset or liability is categorised in its entirety is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The financial assets measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position on a recurring basis are grouped into the fair value hierarchy as follows:

43. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group's capital management objectives are to ensure the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing goods and services commensurately with the level of risk.
The Group actively and regularly reviews its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. The Group monitors its capital structure on the basis of the net debt to equity ratio. For this purpose, net debt is defined as trade and other payables, contract liabilities and borrowings (which includes interest-bearing borrowings and lease liabilities) less cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits and financial assets at FVTPL. In order to maintain a desirable ratio, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, return capital to shareholders, raise new debt financing or sell assets to reduce debt.
The net debt to equity ratio at the reporting date was:

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO THE DIRECTORS OF FIBOCOM WIRELESS INC.
Introduction
We have reviewed the interim financial information of Fibocom Wireless Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") set out on pages [●] to [●], which comprises the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2025, and the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and selected explanatory notes (together, the "Interim Financial Information").
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Interim Financial Information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Interim Financial Information based on our review, and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of Interim Financial Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

Other Matter
The comparative information for the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position is based on the audited financial statements as at 31 December 2024.

33. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Group is exposed to financial risks through its use of financial instruments in its ordinary course of operations and in its investment activities. The financial risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management strategy seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the senior management of the Group.
The Interim Financial Information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Historical Financial Information.
There has been no change to the types of the Group's exposure in respect of financial instruments or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks during the six months ended 30 June 2025.
33.1 Fair value measurements
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability and significance of inputs to the measurements, as follows:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and not using significant unobservable inputs.
- Level 3: significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the financial asset or liability is categorised in its entirety is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Valuation techniques used to determine fair values
The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is determined at the quoted market price; and the fair value of those not traded in an active market is determined by the Group using valuation technique. The valuation models used mainly comprise discounted cash flow approach, recent transaction price approach and market approach. The inputs of the valuation technique mainly include volatility, financial data of target companies, market multiple of comparable companies and discount for lack of marketability.
Assets subject to Level 2 fair value measurement were mainly included bills receivables measured at FVTOCI are evaluated by market approach.
Assets subject to Level 3 fair value measurement were mainly included cash financial products measured at FVTPL, contingent consideration measured at FVTPL and equity investments in unlisted entities measured at FVTOCI. These assets were measured mainly using discounted cash flow approach, recent transaction price approach and market approach. The judgment of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy is based on the materiality of unobservable inputs towards calculation of whole fair value. Significant unobservable inputs mainly include expected interest rate per annum, percentage change of probability for scenario, discounts for lack of marketability and market multiple of comparable companies, discount for lack of marketability price-to book ratio and price-to-sales ratio.
The Group did not change any valuation techniques in determining the Level 2 and Level 3 fair values.
