FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands under the Companies Law, Chapter 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as combined and revised) of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on 15 August 2018 and its shares have been listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) since 13 November 2019 (the “Listing”). The ultimate controlling parties are Mr. Li Chengjun and Mr. Xiong Bin, who are also executive directors of the Company.
The address of the registered office is located in P.O. BOX 31119 Grand Pavilion, Hibiscus Way, 802 West Bay Road, Grand Cayman, KY1-1205, Cayman Islands and the principal place of business of the Company is located in 33/F, Building 1, Huaqiang Science and Technology Innovation Plaza, Meilin Street, No. 6018 North Ring Boulevard, Futian District, Shenzhen, China.
The Company is an investment holding company. The principal activities of its subsidiaries are designing, manufacturing and sales of mobile phones and printed circuit board assembly products (“PCBA”) and Internet of things (“IoT”) related products and investment holding. Particulars of the subsidiaries have been set out in Note 38 of the annual report. The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Group”.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standards (which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in RMB which is also the functional currency of the Company, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise indicated.
- APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO HKFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
(a) Adoption of amendments to an HKFRS Accounting Standard
In the current year, the Group has applied the following amendments to an HKFRS Accounting Standard issued by HKICPA for the first time, which are mandatorily effective for the Group’s annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2025 for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:
| Amendments to HKAS 21 | Lack of Exchangeability |
|---|---|
The application of the amendments to an HKFRS Accounting Standard in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial performance and position for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.
- 5 -
(b) New and amendments to HKFRS Accounting Standards not yet effective
The Group has not early applied the following new and amendments to HKFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective:
| Amendments to HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 7 | Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments² |
|---|---|
| Amendments to HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 7 | Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity² |
| Amendments to HKFRS 10 and HKAS 28 | Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture¹ |
| Amendments to HKFRS Accounting Standards | Annual Improvements to HKFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11² |
| HKFRS 18 | Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements³ |
| Amendments to HKAS 21 | Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency³ |
¹ Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined
² Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026
³ Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027
Except for the new HKFRS Accounting Standard mentioned below, the directors of the Group anticipate that the application of all other new and amendments to HKFRS Accounting Standards will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the foreseeable future.
HKFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
HKFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which sets out requirements on presentation and disclosures in financial statements, will replace HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This new HKFRS Accounting Standard, while carrying forward many of the requirements in HKAS 1, introduces new requirements to present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss; provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures in the notes to the financial statements and improve aggregation and disaggregation of information to be disclosed in the financial statements. In addition, some HKAS 1 paragraphs have been moved to HKAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (the title of which will be changed to Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements upon effective of HKFRS 18) and HKFRS 7. Minor amendments to HKAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and HKAS 33 Earnings per Share are also made.
HKFRS 18, and consequential amendments to other standards, will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with early application permitted. HKFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions. The application of the new standard is expected to have significant impact on the financial performance and positions of the Group in terms of recognition and measurement. However, it is expected to affect the structure and presentation of the consolidated statement of profit or loss and disclosures in the future financial statements.
The Group does not plan to early adopt HKFRS 18 and is still in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption.

- DIVIDEND
No dividend was paid, declared or proposed during the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024, nor has any dividend been proposed since the end of the reporting period.
- EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of the basic earnings per share during the years is based on the profit attributable to the owners of the Company and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue.
| | 2025
RMB'000 | 2024
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Earnings for the purpose of basic earnings per share
profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company | 41,417 | 16,341 |
| | Number of
shares | Number of
shares |
| | '000 | '000
(Restated) |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares
for the purpose of basic earnings per share | 1,303,008 | 1,271,739 |
The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of basic earnings per share for the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024 has been adjusted to reflect the bonus element arising from the rights issue completed on 12 November 2025.
As the rights issue was at a price lower than the fair value of the shares of the Company at the relevant time, it effectively included a bonus element. Consequently, the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding before the rights issue in 2025 and 2024 have been adjusted by multiplying an adjustment factor of 1.2717, which represents the ratio of the fair value per share immediately before the exercise of the rights to the theoretical ex-rights price per share.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share for both years were the same as the basic earnings per share as there was no potential ordinary shares in issue for both 2025 and 2024.

The lease terms range from one to seven years (2024: one to eight years) with fixed lease payments and no renewal/termination option. In determining the lease term and assessing the length of the non-cancellable period, the Group applies the definition of a contract and determines the period for which the contract is enforceable.
During the year, additions to right-of-use assets were RMB1,390,000 (2024: RMB38,312,000). This amount primarily related to the capitalised lease payments payable under new tenancy agreements.

In order to facilitate extended payment terms with suppliers and intragroup transactions, the Group enters into arrangements involving bills secured by pledged deposits. The arrangements involving external suppliers provide for payment terms of 30–60 days for the Group to issue the bills to the external suppliers, and the issued bills have 90 to 180 days to maturity for those issued to external suppliers and 60 to 180 days to maturity for intragroup companies, respectively, depending on the specific terms of the bills. The Group repays the banks the full invoice amount on the maturity date of the bills as required. The Group classifies these related bills payables as trade and other payables.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group, as one of the leading ODM mobile phone suppliers based in China, continued to focus on the research and development, designing, manufacturing and sale of mobile phones, PCBAs for mobile phones and IoT related products, targeting emerging markets.
In 2025, China’s ODM mobile phone market demonstrated resilience amid a recovering domestic smartphone sector. The overall Chinese mobile phone market achieved modest growth, driven by government trade-in subsidies and a strong rebound in the fourth quarter led by premium models. Notwithstanding economic pressures and geopolitical challenges, China’s ODM mobile phone providers played a pivotal role in enabling efficient, cost-effective manufacturing for both domestic and international customers, fostering supply chain stability and advancements in AI-enabled and foldable device technologies.
Concurrently, China’s IoT products market demonstrated robust growth in 2025, bolstered by national strategies such as “Made in China 2025” and accelerated adoption in industrial, automotive, and consumer applications. Market revenue achieved remarkable growth, fuelled by advancements in 5G connectivity, AI integration, and applications in smart manufacturing, healthcare, and urban infrastructure. This performance highlighted China’s leadership in IoT innovation, positioning the sector for continued high-growth trajectory amid increasing demand for intelligent and interconnected solutions.
During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group maintained its robust market position through a diversified product offering and effective pricing approaches. The Group achieved increased order volumes for smartphones and IoT related products, principally from major customers in China and India, underscoring ongoing trust in the Group’s quality standards and service excellence. Revenue from these two markets increased by 51.5% to RMB4,081.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 from RMB2,693.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2024.
In summary, the Group delivered strong performance for the year ended 31 December 2025. Revenue increased by 49.1% to RMB4,350.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 from RMB2,917.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. Net profit increased by 167.3% to RMB41.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 from RMB15.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2024.
OUTLOOK AND BUSINESS STRATEGY
In July 2025, the Company completed the change of name from “Sprocomm Intelligence Limited” to “Future Machine Limited” and adopted the dual foreign name of the Company of “未來機器有限公司”. The short stock name for trading in the securities of the Company on the Stock Exchange also changed from “SPROCOMM INTEL” to “FUTURE MACH LTD” in English and “未來機器有限公司” was adopted as the short stock name in Chinese.
The Board considers that the adoption of the new name, Future Machine Limited, better reflects the direction of the future business plans and development of the Company. The Board also believes that the new name can provide the Company with a new corporate image and identity, which will strengthen its future business development.
Looking ahead, China’s ODM mobile phone market is anticipated to present a mix of challenges and opportunities. The Group remains committed to consolidating its leading market position through the execution of targeted strategic initiatives designed to drive sustainable growth and deliver long-term value to the shareholders of the Company. By maintaining a focus on innovation and proactively responding to evolving market dynamics, the Group aims to seize emerging opportunities while effectively mitigating potential risks.
The Directors are of the view that the continued integration of artificial intelligence into smartphones and connected devices, together with the global rollout of 5G networks, will drive substantial demand for smartphones and IoT products. To capitalise on these market prospects and maximise shareholder value, the Group adopts a prudent growth strategy focused on strengthening research and development capabilities, expanding and diversifying its product portfolio, enhancing sales and marketing efforts to broaden geographical presence, further diversifying its customer base, and pursuing suitable mergers, acquisitions, and strategic investments as appropriate opportunities arise.
In support of this strategy, the Company proposed a rights issue in July 2025, which was successfully completed in November 2025 with the allotment and issue of 500,000,000 rights shares, raising net proceeds of approximately HK$138 million. These proceeds are intended to be applied towards expanding production capacity for mobile phones and related products, increasing the workforce, enhancing research and development capabilities, enlarging the automobile business production line, upgrading the Group’s ERP system, replenishing working capital, and funding potential mergers, acquisitions, and strategic investments.

As part of the Group’s proactive expansion into overseas markets, the Group entered into nine Memoranda of Understanding (“MOUs”). These MOUs establish long-term strategic partnerships, based on a collaborative model of shared value and innovation, with reputable telecommunications and mobile phone distribution companies (the “Business Partners”) in the United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Türkiye, and other regions between October 2025 and January 2026. These alliances mark a significant milestone in the Group’s international strategy, transitioning from the traditional ODM model to exporting integrated solutions in emerging markets with large populations and rising demand for mobile phones and smart devices.
Under the MOUs, the parties will combine strengths for full collaboration, seizing opportunities and jointly developing intellectual properties. The Group will also supply mobile phones and smart devices, assist the Business Partners in brand promotion and market share growth. As at 25 March 2026, the Business Partners placed orders for 2.3 million mobile phones valued at approximately USD160 million.
The Board is confident that these partnerships will enhance the Group’s global presence and financial performance. Joint plans will align strategies to maximise penetration, with expected additional orders diversifying revenue. Shared technologies and intellectual properties from collaborative research and development will bolster long-term innovation and competitiveness, aligning with core priorities, as the Group expands its telecommunications and AI portfolio to deliver greater shareholder value.

Income tax expenses
For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group’s income tax expenses amounted to RMB14.6 million as compared with RMB4.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. The increase in income tax expenses was primarily attributed to the increase in assessable profits for the year ended 31 December 2025. Effective tax rate for the year ended 31 December 2025 was 25.9% (2024: 23.3%).
Net profit for the year

Dividend
The Board does not recommend the payment of dividend for the year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: nil).
Trade and bills receivables
As at 31 December 2025, the Group’s trade and bills receivables amounted to RMB1,007.2 million (31 December 2024: RMB587.4 million). The significant increase in trade and bills receivables as at 31 December 2025 was primarily attributed to the increased sales during the year. The Group generally grants credit period ranging from 30 to 120 days to its customers and allows its PRC customers to settle their purchases by way of bills with maturity period ranging from three to seven months.
In order to minimise credit risk, the Group carefully assesses the background information and credit worthiness of its customers before it decides to grant them credit periods. Further, the Group also closely monitors the payment record of its customers and regularly reviews the credit terms granted to them. The Group’s credit assessment is based on various factors, including but not limited to the financial strength, size of the business and payment history of customers and length of their business relationship with the Group.
The Group’s average trade and bills receivables turnover days for the year ended 31 December 2025 were 66.9 days (2024: 87.3 days), which were within the range of credit periods normally offered by the Group to its customers. The shortened average trade and bills receivables turnover days were primarily attributed to sales increasing at a greater rate than the average trade and bills receivables balance, determined by averaging the opening and closing balances for the period. Based on the dates of the relevant sales invoices, 93.7% of the Group’s trade and bills receivables as at 31 December 2025 aged within 90 days.
For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group recognised reversal of impairment loss allowances of trade and bills receivables of RMB7.0 million (2024: provision for impairment loss allowances of RMB8.4 million).
The Group applies the simplified approach prescribed by HKFRS 9 to assess the expected credit loss (the “ECL”) on trade and bills receivables using a lifetime ECL model. The Group determines the ECL on an individual basis and/or collectively by using a provision matrix, estimated based on historical credit loss experience and forward-looking information at the end of the reporting period, such as general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate. In line with the Group’s credit risk management strategy, internal credit ratings are assigned to customers. Customers are categorised into three internal credit rating buckets within the provision matrix, based on shared credit risk characteristics and past due exposure. The ratings are as follows: (1) Low risk: Customers with good credit standing; (2) Medium risk: Customers with normal credit standing; and (3) High risk: Credit-impaired customers. There has been no change in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the year ended 31 December 2025 for estimation of ECL on trade receivables. A debtor assessed as credit impaired with significant outstanding balances with gross carrying amount of RMB12.1 million as at 31 December 2025 (2024: RMB37.8 million) was assessed individually. This substantial reduction in gross carrying amount was primarily due to settlements from a debtor amounting to RMB25,700,000 during the year.
Trade and bills payables
As at 31 December 2025, the Group’s trade and bills payables amounted to RMB3,217.9 million (31 December 2024: RMB2,708.5 million). The significant increase in trade and bills payables as at 31 December 2025 was primarily attributed to the increased purchases during the year. Suppliers generally grant the Group credit period ranging from 30 to 60 days, with certain suppliers require the Group to make advance payment before product delivery. The Group has financial risk management policies in place to ensure that all payables are settled within the credit timeframe. Certain suppliers allow the Group to settle its purchases by way of bank acceptance bills and the Group may also endorse certain bills receivables to its suppliers in order to settle the trade payable due to them.
The Group’s average trade and bills payables turnover days for the year ended 31 December 2025 were 271.2 days (2024: 402.6 days). The shortened average trade and bills payables turnover days were primarily attributed to the cost of sales increasing at a greater rate than the average trade and bills payables balance, determined by averaging the opening and closing balances for the period.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE, LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND GEARING
The Group mainly funds its business and working capital requirements by using a balanced mix of internal resources, borrowings and funds raised from rights issue.
The funding mix will be adjusted depending on the costs of funding and the actual needs of the Group. For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group recorded a negative cash flow from operating activities of RMB230.6 million (Year ended 31 December 2024: negative cash flow of RMB27.1 million), primarily attributed to the increase in trade and bills receivables.

SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS HELD BY THE GROUP
Saved as disclosed herein, the Group did not make any other significant investments during the year ended 31 December 2025.
FUTURE PLANS FOR MATERIAL INVESTMENTS AND CAPITAL ASSETS
Saved as disclosed in the Company’s prospectus dated 12 September 2025 and the section headed “Use of Proceeds from the Rights Issue” in this announcement, the Group did not have any future plans for material investments and capital assets during the year ended 31 December 2025.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISKS
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk primarily through the operations of its Hong Kong subsidiary, whose functional currency is USD and has significant RMB-denominated liabilities. This gives rise to foreign currency exposure from the translation of these liabilities into USD. All other operations of the Group are mainly transacted in RMB.
The Group has several derivative financial instruments. During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group held USD/HKD foreign exchange forward contracts and USD/HKD currency options sold short, both maturing within one year, with a notional amount of USD53,000,000 (equivalent to RMB372,526,000) and USD160,000,000 (equivalent to RMB1,124,608,000) respectively. Given the pegged exchange rate system between the Hong Kong dollar and the United States dollar, any exchange difference arising from these instruments does not expect to have a material financial impact.
Saved as disclosed herein, the Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.
EMPLOYEES, REMUNERATION POLICY AND TRAINING
As at 31 December 2025, the Group had 1,641 employees (31 December 2024: 1,414 employees), whose remunerations and benefits are determined based on market rates, government policies and individual performance.

Unless approved by shareholders of the Company in general meeting in the manner stipulated in The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Rules"), the maximum entitlement for each eligible participant (including both exercised and outstanding options) under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company in any 12-month period up to the date of grant shall not exceed 1% of the total number of shares in issue as at the date of grant.

MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS OF LISTED ISSUERS (THE "MODEL CODE")
The Company has adopted the Model Code set out in Appendix C3 to the Listing Rules as its code of conduct regarding Directors' securities transactions. All Directors have confirmed that, following specific enquiry by the Company, they have complied with the required standard set out in the Model Code during the year ended 31 December 2025 and up to the date of this announcement.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Company has adopted a set of corporate governance practices which aligns with the code provisions of the Corporate Governance Code (the "CG Code") as set out in Appendix C1 of The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Rules") since 13 November 2019. Except for code provision C.2.1, the Company has complied with the code provisions set out in the CG Code during the year ended 31 December 2025.
Code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code states that the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Under the current organisation structure of the Company, Mr. Li Chengjun is the Group's chief executive officer, and he also performs as the chairman of the Board as he has considerable experience in the mobile communication industry. The Board believes that vesting the roles of both the chairman of our Board and the chief executive officer in the same person has the benefit of ensuring consistent leadership within the Group and enables more effective and efficient overall strategic planning of the Group.
Although Mr. Li Chengjun performs both the roles of chairman of the board and chief executive officer, the division of responsibilities between the chairman of the board and chief executive officer is clearly established. In general, the chairman of the board is responsible for supervising the functions and performance of the Board, while the chief executive officer is responsible for the management of the Group's businesses. The two roles are performed by Mr. Li Chengjun distinctly. Further, the current structure does not impair the balance of power and authority between the Board and management of the Company given the appropriate delegation of the power of the Board and the effective functions of the independent non-executive Directors.
