FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

During the Reporting Period, the Group mainly generated its revenue from (i) sales of products, including ophthalmic medical equipment and ophthalmic medical consumables; and (ii) provision of technical services.

The Group's revenue decreased by 3.4% from RMB1,428.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB1,380.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. This decline was primarily attributable to intense competition in the ophthalmic medical equipment sector, where increased product homogeneity and preference of hospital procurement policies exerted short-term pressure on equipment revenue. Notably, however, revenue from ophthalmic medical consumables grew by 15.7% year-on-year. Concurrently, revenue from Proprietary Products and technical services achieved dual growth of 14.3% and 5.3%, respectively, aligning well with the Group's strategic development plans. Meanwhile, the Group's international business revenue demonstrated strong performance, increasing by 12.4% year-on-year.

In 2026, the Group will continue to advance its international business development. Coupled with the gradual regulatory approval and market launch of Proprietary Products from various R&D bases, the Group expects sustained growth in revenue from Proprietary Products, which will contribute to an overall improvement in the Group's financial performance.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

The Group's gross profit decreased by 4.6% from RMB663.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB633.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Group's gross profit margin decreased from 46.4% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 45.9% for the year ended December 31, 2025. Such decrease was mainly due to (i) the impact of exchange rate fluctuations, which resulted in higher purchase cost for importing Distribution Products; (ii) the significant decrease in average unit selling prices of the intraocular lens under the Group's Proprietary Products during the Reporting Period, which started to implement the national procurement prices from May 2024; and (iii) the impact of changes in the Group's sales product mix.

Other Income and Gains

During the Reporting Period, the Group's other income and gains primarily consisted of (i) bank interest income; (ii) government grants; and (iii) investment income and gains from financial products at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group's other income and gains increased by 15.2% from RMB26.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB30.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was mainly due to the increase in government grants received during the Reporting Period.

Selling and Distribution Expenses

During the Reporting Period, the Group's selling and distribution expenses primarily consisted of (i) salaries and remuneration of the Group's sales and marketing personnel; (ii) marketing expenses for organizing marketing events and promotion of the Group's products; and (iii) transportation and travel expenses incurred in the course of the Group's marketing activities.


The Group’s selling and distribution expenses increased by 5.1% from RMB232.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB244.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was primarily attributable to the talent reserve carried out by the Group for the marketing of its Proprietary Products and international business, laying a foundation for the long-term development of the Group.

As a percentage of revenue, the selling and distribution expenses increased from 16.3% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 17.7% for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Administrative Expenses

During the Reporting Period, the Group’s administrative expenses primarily consisted of (i) salaries and remuneration of administrative staff; (ii) consulting services fees, which include IT service fees and audit fees incurred with respect to engaging external auditors and other service expenses procured to support corporate operations; (iii) transportation and travel expenses incurred in the course of administration; and (iv) depreciation and amortization of non-current assets.

The Group’s administrative expenses increased by 19.7% from RMB145.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB174.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. This was mainly due to the Group’s aim of further strengthening R&D synergies between its domestic and overseas business segments, enhancing overall innovation capabilities, and improving market competitiveness, with the establishment of the management team for the R&D and production companies of the Group, and the recruitment expansion in related departments, resulting in a corresponding increase in labor costs included in administrative expenses.

Finance Costs

During the Reporting Period, the Group’s finance costs primarily consisted of interest expenses on bank and other borrowings and lease liabilities. The Group’s finance costs decreased by 46.6% from RMB36.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB19.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. This was mainly due to the fact that the Group repaid an amount of EUR12.125 million of the Vendor Loan and an amount of EUR6.5625 million of China Minsheng Bank loan respectively during the Reporting Period, as well as the decreasing floating loan interest rates linked to EURIBOR, resulting in a decrease in interest expenses during the Reporting Period.

Research and Development Expenses

The Group closely followed the national strategic deployment, continuously increased investment in R&D projects, and strengthened independent innovation capabilities to ensure the competitiveness of mid-to-long-term development. During the Reporting Period, the Group's research and development expenses increased by 18.1% from RMB78.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB92.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. This was mainly due to the continuous expansion of the Group's R&D team and the increased investment in the domestic R&D of relevant products. During the Reporting Period, the Group has successively obtained the medical device registration certificates for several self-developed products, including RGP of Gaush Clear, two dry eye diagnostic devices, corneal confocal microscopes, ocular fundus cameras and frequency-domain biometer of Gaush Neotech, the intraocular lens implant system of Gaush Teleon, the disposable ophthalmic trocar and accessories of Gaush Precision, as well as the disposable ultrasonic emulsification vitrectomy irrigation-aspiration tubing kit, the corneal contact lens and ophthalmic electrophysiological diagnostic system of Gaush Tech. The Group also develops a number of pipeline products, including optometric products, intraocular lenses, consumables and equipment of ultrasonic emulsification, all of which demonstrate the Group's long-term commitment to R&D investment.

Other Expenses

During the Reporting Period, the Group's other expenses primarily consisted of asset impairment losses, credit impairment losses and foreign exchange losses.

The Group's other expenses decreased from RMB41.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB17.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was mainly due to the provision for impairment of goodwill arising from subsidiaries acquired previously of RMB23.3 million by the Group during the same period.

Income Tax Expenses

The Group's income tax expenses decreased from RMB66.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The effective tax rate declined from 43.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 20.5% for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was primarily attributable to cumulative tax losses incurred by companies at various R&D bases, resulting from the focus on technological innovation and sustained increases in R&D investment in prior periods. Under relevant requirements of tax laws, such tax losses are eligible for carry-forward offsets over a period of 5 to 10 years. In prior periods, as these companies were still in the R&D investment phase and had not yet generated stable taxable revenue, there was uncertainty regarding the ability to carry forward these accumulated losses for offsetting in future years. Accordingly, based on the principle of prudence, no deferred income tax assets were recognized for these


losses. During the Reporting Period, the management, taking into account these companies' realized operating revenue and profit forecasts for future periods, judged that it is highly possible that sufficient taxable income will be generated in the future to recognize deferred tax assets for the recoverable losses, leading to a decrease in the effective tax rate.

Profit for the Year

For the foregoing reasons, the net profit of the Group increased from RMB88.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to RMB91.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Financial Position

Inventories

The Group's inventories consisted of finished goods, goods in transit, raw materials and work-in-progress. Under the inventory control policy, the Group regularly monitors and analyzes the Group's historical procurement, production and sales statistics and adjusts its inventories to meet the demand of customers in a timely manner without causing inventory accumulation. The balance of inventories of the Group remained relatively stable as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, amounting to RMB334.4 million and RMB345.4 million, respectively.

The Group's inventory turnover days increased from 163 days in 2024 to 172 days in 2025, primarily due to the various R&D and production companies of the Group preparing in advance to support the mass production of the Proprietary Products in the following year. The Group's inventory turnover days indicated that the Group's inventories were generally utilized or sold within six months.

Trade Receivables

The Group's trade receivables represented outstanding amounts due from its customers. The Group's trade receivables decreased by 2.4% from RMB170.9 million as of December 31, 2024 to RMB166.8 million as of December 31, 2025, which was attributable to the dedicated management of long-outstanding and problematic receivables and proactive debt collection, which improved the efficiency in the recovery of trade receivables.

The Group's trade receivable turnover days remained relatively stable at 41 days and 45 days in 2024 and 2025, respectively. The Group's trade receivable turnover days were generally in line with the Group's credit term policies between 30 to 90 days.

Trade Payables

The Group’s trade payables primarily represented the payments due to suppliers for importing the Distribution Products. The original value of the Group’s trade payables increased by 16.2% from RMB70.3 million as of December 31, 2024 to RMB81.7 million as of December 31, 2025. The fluctuation was primarily as a result of the Group’s payments made in accordance with procurement plans and payment schedules stipulated by suppliers.

The Group’s trade payable turnover days in 2024 and 2025 were 38 days and 37 days, respectively, generally in line with the credit term policies of the Group’s suppliers between 30 days to 90 days.

Goodwill

Goodwill arose from acquisitions of the Group’s subsidiaries including, among others, Teleon and Rigeo B.V., of which, the carrying amounts of Teleon and Rigeo B.V. asset group were denominated in Euro. The Group’s goodwill increased by 9.1% from RMB910.5 million as of December 31, 2024 to RMB993.3 million as of December 31, 2025. This was mainly attributable to the effect of fluctuation of exchange rate between RMB and Euro.

Intangible Assets

The Group’s intangible assets (other than goodwill) mainly represented the software the Group purchased and used in the ordinary course of business, the patents and trademarks identified as a result of business combinations, the development expenditures from capitalization of research and development expenses, and non-patented technology purchased and used for R&D project collaborations. The Group’s intangible assets decreased by 2.4% from RMB294.4 million as of December 31, 2024 to RMB287.3 million as of December 31, 2025, which was mainly due to the provision for the amortization of intangible assets during the Reporting Period.

Capital Structure, Liquidity and Financial Resources

The Shares were successfully listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange on December 12, 2022, and the share capital structure of the Company remain unchanged during the Reporting Period. As of December 31, 2025, the issued share capital of the Company was USD14,789, and the number of issued Shares of USD0.0001 each was 147,887,869.


In 2025, the Group used internal resources to fund its liquidity. As the Group’s business can generate stable cash inflow, together with abundant cash and bank balances, the Group has sufficient liquidity and financial resources to satisfy its daily operation and working capital needs, as well as to support its expansion plan. The Group regards monetary fund management as an essential part in financial management and incorporates it to the key items of financial inspection and internal audit, and constantly improves corresponding internal control management systems, including the “Currency Fund Management System”, to strengthen its monetary fund management, ensure the security of its monetary fund, and reduce the utilization costs and financial risks of its monetary fund. As of December 31, 2025, the Group continued to maintain a solid financial position, with cash and cash equivalents balance amounting to RMB421.0 million, remaining relatively stable compared with RMB421.4 million as of December 31, 2024. During the Reporting Period, the Group repaid the principal of domestic and overseas loans and interest thereon of approximately RMB201.1 million, while generating net cash inflow from operating activities of approximately RMB144.2 million and receiving approximately RMB97.6 million from the redemption of private equity funds previously purchased. In addition, the Group recorded term deposits of RMB16.7 million as at December 31, 2025. The Group’s cash is mainly in the form of bank deposit balances and deposited with reputable financial institutions and mature within one year. As of December 31, 2025, all cash and cash equivalents and term deposits of the Group were denominated in RMB, HKD, Euro and US dollars.

The Group’s anticipated cash needs primarily include costs associated with the R&D of its products and business operations. The Group expects to fund its future working capital and other cash requirements with cash generated from its operations and, when necessary, bank and other borrowings.

The Group’s interest-bearing bank and other borrowings represented current and non-current secured bank loans and loan from China Minsheng Bank. As of December 31, 2025, the Group’s interest-bearing bank and other borrowings amounted to RMB450.3 million, including short-term borrowings of RMB135.2 million and long-term borrowings of RMB315.1 million, all of which bore fixed interest rates, except for loans from China Minsheng Bank. The Company’s main borrowings included the replacement loans granted by China Minsheng Bank to repay the Senior Facility Loan. As of December 31, 2025, all of the Group’s bank and other borrowings were denominated in Euro and RMB.

As of December 31, 2025, the effective annual interest rates of the Group’s bank and other borrowings ranged from 2.75% to 3.014% (as of December 31, 2024: 3.90% to 7.00%), and the remaining term of the loans ranged from within one year to two years. The Group will repay the above borrowings in due course on maturity.

Capital Expenditure

The Group’s capital expenditure for the year ended December 31, 2025 amounted to RMB33.8 million, representing a decrease of 58.4% as compared to that of RMB81.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily because the Group reached a technological cooperation agreement with Geuder during the same period and paid the non-patent technological transfer fee in this regard.

Gearing Ratio

Gearing ratio represented total interest-bearing borrowings divided by net assets or liabilities as of the end of the period and multiplied by 100%. Interest-bearing borrowings included interest-bearing bank borrowings and other borrowings, lease liabilities and loans at fair value through profit and loss. As of December 31, 2025, the Group’s gearing ratio was 29.9%. As of December 31, 2024, the Group’s gearing ratio was 34.8%.

FINANCIAL RISKS

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk of loss resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Fluctuations in exchange rates between RMB and other currencies in which the Group conducts business may affect the financial condition and results of operations of the Group. The Group purchases products from brand partners in many countries around the world. Therefore, the Group exposes to foreign currency risk when it enters into transactions denominated in multiple currencies. For example, changes in currency exchange rates may affect the Group’s costs of goods sold and competitiveness against its domestic competitors or competitors who are multinational companies whose international operations provide a natural hedge to currency fluctuation risk. The Group predominantly purchases its products in US dollars and Euro. The Group sells the goods to distributors and hospitals and clinics in China in RMB in Mainland China. Given the Group’s substantial receivables and payables denominated in US dollars or Euro, subject to the settlement cycle, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates during the cycle may lead to foreign exchange losses or gains. The Group’s management will continue to pay attention to the Group’s foreign exchange exposure and seeks to limit its exposure to foreign currency risk by minimizing its net foreign currency position. Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations represent the difference arising from the translation of the financial statements of companies within the Group that have a functional currency of Euro, which is different from the functional currency of RMB for the financial statements of the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the exchange differences on translation of foreign operations amounted to a loss of RMB36.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the exchange differences on translation of foreign operations amounted to a gain of RMB82.0 million, primarily due to the fluctuation of exchange rate of Euro during the Reporting Period.

Credit Risk

The Group trades on credit terms only with recognized and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all traders who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, the Group monitors the receivable balances on an ongoing basis.

Significant Investment Held

As of December 31, 2025, the Group did not have any significant investment.

For the Reporting Period, the total costs for the Group's employees amounted to RMB360.5 million (for the year ended December 31, 2024: RMB375.2 million). "Diligence and Capability" is the core value of the Group. The Group attaches great importance to employee competency development and continuously establishes a comprehensive training management system according to the Company's development needs. Through launching new employee induction training, general skills training for all positions, business training and external learning, the Group continuously deepens employees with professional and management knowledge and skills required for different fields, levels and positions, with an aim to help the employees achieve their career plan and development direction, effectively implement the overall strategic planning of human resources, and build sufficient talent reserves for the Group to achieve long-term high-quality development.

The remuneration package of employees mainly includes basic salary and performance-based bonus. The performance targets of employees are primarily determined according to their positions and departments, and regular performance review will be conducted, and salaries, bonus and promotion appraisals will be determined based on appraisal results.

On August 28, 2024, the Company adopted a share award scheme (the “Share Award Scheme”) to recognize and reward eligible participants for their contribution to the Group, to attract best available personnel to provide service to the Group, and to provide additional incentives to them to remain with and further promote the success of the Group’s business. The Share Award Scheme is funded solely by existing Shares to be purchased by the trustee on the market. The Share Award Scheme constitutes a share scheme under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules and shall be subject to the applicable disclosure requirements under Rule 17.12 of the Listing Rules. However, it does not constitute a scheme involving the issue of new Shares as referred to in Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. From the adoption date of the Share Award Scheme to the date of this announcement, a total of 4,559,300 Shares were acquired by the trustee, representing approximately 3.08% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares, if any) as at the date of this announcement. Total consideration paid for the said purchases was approximately HK$39.68 million. From the adoption date of the Share Award Scheme to the date of this announcement, no awards have been granted, vested, cancelled or lapsed pursuant to the Share Award Scheme. The total number of Shares available for grant under the scheme mandate limit (i.e. not exceed 14,797,036 Shares) as at January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025 were both 14,797,036. For details, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated August 28, 2024.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2025

  1. CORPORATE AND GROUP INFORMATION

The Company is a limited company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 1 November 2017. The registered office address of the Company is 4th Floor, Harbour Place, 103 South Church Street, George Town, P.O. Box 10240, Grand Cayman KY1-1002, Cayman Islands. The Company’s shares were listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) on 12 December 2022.

The Company is an investment holding company. During the year, the Group is primarily engaged in the research and development, manufacture and sale of ophthalmic medical devices and consumables, and sale of technical services in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and other countries or regions.

  1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (which include all International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”) and Interpretations) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and derivative financial instruments which have been measured at fair value. These financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2025. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

  • 28 -

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. When the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

(a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
(b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
(c) the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control described above. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, any non-controlling interest and the exchange fluctuation reserve; and recognises the fair value of any investment retained and any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Group’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or accumulated losses, as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES

The Group has adopted amendments to IAS 21 Lack of Exchangeability for the first time for the current year’s financial statements. The application of these amendments has had no material impact on the Group’s results and financial position.

  • 29 -

  • 30 -

2.3 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE IFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Group has not applied the following new and amended IFRS Accounting Standards, that have been issued but are not yet effective, in these financial statements:

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements²
IFRS 19 and its amendments Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures²
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments¹
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity¹
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture³
Amendments to IAS 21 Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency²
Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards — Volume 11 Amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7¹
  1. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026
  2. Effective for annual/reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027
  3. No mandatory effective date yet determined but available for adoption

The Group intends to apply these new and amended IFRS Accounting Standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

Further information about those IFRS Accounting Standards that are expected to be applicable to the Group is described below.

(a) IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. While a number of sections have been brought forward from IAS 1 with limited changes, IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. Entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss into one of the five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations and to present two new defined subtotals. It also requires disclosures about management-defined performance measures in a single note and introduces enhanced requirements on the grouping (aggregation and disaggregation) and the location of information in both the primary financial statements and the notes. Some requirements previously included in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, which is renamed as IAS 8 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements. As a consequence of the issuance of IFRS 18, limited, but widely applicable,


amendments are made to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, IAS 33 Earnings per Share and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. In addition, there are minor consequential amendments to other IFRS Accounting Standards. IFRS 18 and the consequential amendments to other IFRS Accounting Standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 with earlier application permitted. Retrospective application is required. The Group is currently analysing the new requirements and assessing the impact of IFRS 18 on the presentation and disclosure of the Group’s financial statements.

(b) IFRS 19 allows eligible entities to elect to apply reduced disclosure requirements while still applying the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards. To be eligible, at the end of the reporting period, an entity must be a subsidiary as defined in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, cannot have public accountability and must have a parent (ultimate or intermediate) that prepares consolidated financial statements available for public use which comply with IFRS Accounting Standards. IFRS 19 was amended in 2025 to (i) remove disclosure objectives from IFRS 19; (ii) reduce the disclosure requirements relating to supplier finance arrangements and a specific class of financial liabilities; and (iii) replace disclosure requirements relating to management-defined performance measures with a cross-reference to IFRS 18 for entities that use these measures. Earlier application is permitted. As the Company is a listed company, it is not eligible to elect to apply IFRS 19 and its amendments. Some of the Company’s subsidiaries are considering the application of IFRS 19 and amendments in their specified financial statements.

(c) Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments clarify the date on which a financial asset or financial liability is derecognised and introduce an accounting policy option to derecognise a financial liability that is settled through an electronic payment system before the settlement date if specified criteria are met. The amendments clarify how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with environmental, social and governance and other similar contingent features. Moreover, the amendments clarify the requirements for classifying financial assets with non-recourse features and contractually linked instruments. The amendments also include additional disclosures for investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments shall be applied retrospectively with an adjustment to opening retained profits (or other component of equity) at the initial application date. Prior periods are not required to be restated and can only be restated without the use of hindsight. Earlier application of either all the amendments at the same time or only the amendments related to the classification of financial assets is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity clarify the application of the “own-use” requirements for in-scope contracts and amend the designation requirements for a hedged item in a cash flow hedging relationship for in-scope contracts. The amendments also include additional disclosures that enable users of financial statements to understand the effects these contracts have on an entity’s financial performance and future cash flows. The amendments relating to the own-use exception shall be applied retrospectively. Prior periods are not required to be restated and can only be restated without the use of hindsight. The amendments relating to the hedge accounting shall be applied prospectively to new hedging relationships designated on or after the date of initial application. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 shall be applied at the same time. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 address an inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and in IAS 28 in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments require a full recognition of a gain or loss resulting from a downstream transaction when the sale or contribution of assets constitutes a business. For a transaction involving assets that do not constitute a business, a gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognised in the investor’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in that associate or joint venture. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. The previous mandatory effective date of amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 was removed by the IASB. However, the amendments are available for adoption now.

Amendments to IAS 21 Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency require the translation from a non-hyperinflationary functional currency into a hyperinflationary presentation currency at the closing rate. The amendments also require an entity whose functional currency and presentation currency are the currency of a hyperinflationary economy to restate the comparative amounts of a foreign operation whose functional currency is that of a non-hyperinflationary economy, by applying the general price index, in accordance with paragraph 34 of IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies, to the foreign operation’s comparative figures. The amendments introduce certain additional disclosures. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

(d) Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards — Volume 11 set out amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7 (and the accompanying Guidance on implementing IFRS 7), IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7. Details of the amendments that are expected to be applicable to the Group are as follows:

  • IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: The amendments have updated certain wording in paragraph B38 of IFRS 7 and paragraphs IG1, IG14 and IG20B of the Guidance on implementing IFRS 7 for the purpose of simplification or achieving consistency with other paragraphs in the standard and/or with the concepts and terminology used in other standards. In addition, the amendments clarify that the Guidance on implementing IFRS 7 does not necessarily illustrate all the requirements in the referenced paragraphs of IFRS 7 nor does it create additional requirements. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

  • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: The amendments clarify that when a lessee has determined that a lease liability has been extinguished in accordance with IFRS 9, the lessee is required to apply paragraph 3.3.3 of IFRS 9 and recognise any resulting gain or loss in profit or loss. However, the amendments do not address how a lessee distinguishes between a lease modification as defined in IFRS 16 and an extinguishment of a lease liability in accordance with IFRS 9. In addition, the amendments have updated certain wording in paragraph 5.1.3 of IFRS 9 and Appendix A of IFRS 9 to remove potential confusion. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

  • IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements: The amendments clarify that the relationship described in paragraph B74 of IFRS 10 is just one example of various relationships that might exist between the investor and other parties acting as de facto agents of the investor, which removes the inconsistency with the requirement in paragraph B73 of IFRS 10. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

  • IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows: The amendments replace the term “cost method” with “at cost” in paragraph 37 of IAS 7 following the prior deletion of the definition of “cost method”. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Group’s financial statements.

(b) Performance obligations

Information about the Group’s performance obligations is summarised below:

Sale of ophthalmic medical devices

The performance obligation is satisfied after the inspection of medical devices installation by customers. For public hospitals and certain customers with long relationship, the payment is generally due within 90 days after the inspection. For other clients, the payment in advance is normally required.

Sale of ophthalmic medical consumables

The performance obligation is satisfied after the delivery and acceptance of the medical consumables by customers. For public hospitals and certain customers with long relationship with the Group, the payment is generally due within 30 days after the acceptance. For other clients, payment in advance is normally required. For the consignment of medical consumables, the performance obligation is satisfied only when the consignees sell the medical consumables to the end customers and signed settlement statement is received. The payment is generally due within 30 to 60 days after the invoice date.

Technical services

The performance obligation is satisfied over time as services are rendered and payment in advance is normally required.

The amounts of transaction prices allocated to the remaining performance obligations (unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied) as at year end do not include variable consideration which is constrained and are expected to be recognised as revenue within one year, or if the Group has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Group’s performance completed to date, the Group recognises revenue in the amount to which the Group has a right to invoice.

6. INCOME TAX

(a) Income tax rate disclosure

Income tax for the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, the Group is not subject to any income tax in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands. In addition, upon payments of dividends by the Company and the subsidiaries incorporated in the British Virgin Islands to their shareholders, no withholding tax is imposed.

Hong Kong profits tax

Hong Kong profits tax has been provided at the two-tiered profits tax rates on the estimated assessable profits arising in Hong Kong. The first HKD2,000,000 of assessable profits are taxed at 8.25% and the remaining assessable profits are taxed at 16.5%.

Corporate income tax for Chinese mainland

Under the Law of the PRC on Corporate Income Tax (the "CIT Law") and the Implementation Regulation of the CIT Law, the CIT rate for PRC subsidiaries is 25% except for those subsidiaries are subject to tax exemption as set out below.

The Group's subsidiary, Wenzhou Gaush Raymond Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd., was accredited as a "High and New Technology Enterprise" in 2020 for a term of three years, and the certificate has been reissued in December 2023 for a term of three years, therefore the subsidiary was entitled to a preferential CIT rate of 15% for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2025.

For certain small low-profit PRC subsidiaries of the Group, the portion of the annual taxable income not exceeding RMB3,000,000, the number of employees not exceed 300, and the total assets not exceed RMB50,000,000 shall be computed at a reduced rate of 25% as the taxable income amount, and be subject to CIT rate at 20%, which results in an effective tax burden of 5%.

Income tax for other jurisdictions

The Group's tax provision in respect of other jurisdictions has been calculated at the applicable tax rates in accordance with the prevailing practices of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates.

Subsidiaries established in Germany were subject to corporate income tax at the rate of 15.825%. Furthermore, subsidiaries established in Germany were also subject to trade tax at trade tax rates of 14.35% and 15.75%, depending on the location of the respective subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries established in the Netherlands were subject to corporate income tax at the rate of 19% for taxable income of EUR200,000 or less and at the rate of 25.8% for the portion exceeding EUR200,000. The management of the Group expects that Teleon Holding B.V., a subsidiary of the Company, together with its Dutch subsidiaries should qualify for the innovation box. A reduced rate of 9% applies to activities covered by the innovation box. The innovation box provides tax relief to encourage innovative research. Qualifying profits earned from qualifying innovative activities are taxed at this special rate.


An analysis of the provision for tax in the financial statements is as follows:

| | 2025
RMB'000 | 2024
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Current — Hong Kong | 2,587 | 6,343 |
| Current — Chinese mainland | 40,789 | 40,062 |

| Deferred | (37,104) | (66) |
| Total tax charge for the year | 23,493 | 66,764 |

(b) A reconciliation of the tax expense applicable to profit before tax at the statutory tax rates for the jurisdictions in which the Company and the majority of its subsidiaries are domiciled and/or operate to the tax expense at the effective tax rates, are as follows:

| | 2025

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY

The calculation of the basic earnings per share amounts is based on the profit for the year attributable to shareholders of the Company, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 145,116,975 (2024: 147,818,994) outstanding during the year.

No adjustment has been made to the basic earnings per share amounts presented for the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024 in respect of a dilution as the Group had no potential ordinary shares in issue during these years.

The Group's trading terms with its customers are mainly on payment in advance, except for some transactions which are traded on credit. The credit period is generally one or three months. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables and has a credit control department to minimise credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. In view of the aforementioned and the fact that the Group's trade receivables relate to a large number of diversified customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade receivable balances. Trade receivables are non-interest-bearing.


An ageing analysis of the trade receivables as at the end of the reporting period, based on the invoice date and net of loss allowance, is as follows:

| | 2025
RMB'000 | 2024
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |

| 2 to 3 years | 1,344 | 2,250 |
| 3 to 4 years | — | 581 |
| 4 to 5 years | 280 | 49 |
| Total | 163,697 | 166,441 |

The movements in the loss allowance for impairment of trade receivables are as follows:

| | 2025
RMB'000 | 2024
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| At beginning of year | 4,416 | 5,182 |

| Exchange realignment | 79 | (72) |
| Amount written off as uncollectible | (972) | (144) |
| At end of year | 3,096 | 4,416 |

The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected credit loss provision for all trade receivables.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns by customer type. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available as at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
