SUMMARY
We are at the midstream segment of the industrial chain. Our customers primarily include (i) film capacitor manufacturers, and (ii) BYD, a well-known leading NEV company in China, which has started to manufacture its own film capacitors.
The following sets forth the details of our two key products:
-
Capacitor base films. Capacitor base films function as the dielectrics of film capacitors and determine the performance of film capacitors. Capacitor base films are the largest component of our revenue, representing 91.9%, 71.8%, 72.8%, 71.7% and 78.5% of our total revenue in 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025.
-
Metallized films. Prior to being used in film capacitors, capacitor base films are typically coated with an metal layer on one side of the film, transforming them into metallized films. This metal layer functions as the electrodes of film capacitors. While our customers typically produce metallized films in-house using capacitor base films provided by us, they may procure metallized films from us directly due to the limitation of their production capacity. Our customers then manufacturing film capacitors by (i) winding metallized films into a roll, (ii) attaching leads to the roll and (iii) performing encapsulation to prevent moisture and damage.
We began providing metallized films in 2023, primarily to diversify our product portfolio. See “Business—Our Products—Capacitor Films—Metallized films—Our strategies of providing metallized films.”
Key Drivers for Our Business Growth
We have specialized in the capacitor film industry for over 15 years. Our strategic focus enables us to accurately identify the industry’s development trends, address key pain points and deeply understand customer needs across diverse application scenarios. This allows us to provide customers with more targeted products to capture market opportunities:
- The market of our products is growing. On the demand side, the rapid growth of the NEV and the new energy electricity system industry present significant opportunities for us. With China’s “dual-carbon” goals and the implementation of carbon-neutral measures globally, the industry of NEV and the industry of new energy electricity system are expected to experience a steady and sustainable growth.
According to CIC, in the capacitor base film industry, the market size of capacitor base films is widely used to represent the market size of capacitor film products. It is because most of the products from capacitor film manufacturers are delivered in the form of capacitor base films. According to CIC, China’s capacitor base film market size in terms of sales volume grew from 46.2 thousand tons in 2019 to 113.4 thousand tons in 2024, representing a CAGR of 19.7%, and is expected to reach 224.1 thousand tons in 2029, representing a CAGR of 14.1% from 2025 to 2029. In particular:

SUMMARY
-
The market size for capacitor base films used in NEV in terms of sales volume is expected to grow from 47.8 thousand tons in 2025 to 87.3 thousand tons in 2029, representing a CAGR of 16.2% from 2025 to 2029.
-
The market size for capacitor base films used in new energy electricity system in China in terms of sales volume is expected to grow from 34.2 thousand tons in 2025 to 79.8 thousand tons in 2029, representing a CAGR of 23.6% from 2025 to 2029.
-
Our R&D capabilities enable us to quickly capture market opportunities. On the supply side, our capabilities for production lines and product development position us to meet rapidly increasing customer demand:
-
Self-design and development of production lines. According to CIC, among major capacitor film manufacturers in China, we are the only company with the capability to independently design and develop capacitor base films’ production lines. As of the Latest Practicable Date, all of our existing five production lines for capacitor base films were independently designed, developed and assembled by us. Our ability to design and develop production lines for capacitor base films enables us to overcome industry bottlenecks, laying a solid foundation for production capacity enhancement and cost control. Specifically:
-
The delivery time for our independently designed and developed production lines for capacitor base films is approximately eight months, which is significantly shorter than the industry average of three to five years for imported production lines, according to CIC; and
-
The investment cost of our newly-constructed production lines for capacitor base films is expected to be approximately RMB120.0 million, which is significantly lower than the industry average in China, according to CIC.
-
-
Manufacturing techniques and product quality. Leveraging our industry expertise, we offer capacitor film products tailored to diverse customer needs by flexibly adjusting the parameters of the production lines. As of the Latest Practicable Date, our capacitor film products featured thickness range from 2.7 µm to 13.8 µm, covering a wide range of end-application scenarios.

SUMMARY
To capture future market opportunities, we are researching and developing the manufacturing techniques of capacitor base films with relatively thinner thickness, particularly those with thickness below 2.5 μm, as part of our technical reserves. This initiative is in response to the industry trend of capacitor base films becoming thinner, which is driven by the need to further reduce the size of film capacitors, according to CIC. We have strengthened the quality of these films by optimizing our manufacturing techniques. Specifically, we have enhanced environmental temperature controls in the longitudinal stretching process, thus improving the tensile strength and voltage endurance of such capacitor base films. We have also improved the pull roll stand in the traction process during production, reducing the likelihood of film breakage.
OUR STRENGTHS
We believe our competitive strengths are as follows:
-
second largest capacitor film manufacturer in China;
-
Distinctive capability for self-design and development of production lines;
-
Shareholder support and visionary, experienced management team;
-
Strong R&D capabilities for products; and
-
Broad customer base covering industry-leading customers.
OUR STRATEGIES
We intend to implement the following development strategies:
-
Enhance our production capacity to meet increasing market demand;
-
Integrate resources across the industry chains to enhance synergy effect; and
-
Strengthen R&D capabilities and attract top talent.

SUMMARY
Capacitor Base Films
During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we prioritized the production of thin base films with thickness ranging from 4.0 μm to 6.9 μm. In 2022, 2023, 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, our revenue from thin base films was RMB207.6 million, RMB176.5 million, RMB240.2 million, RMB88.3 million and RMB92.6 million, respectively, representing approximately 63.5%, 53.6%, 56.9%, 54.4% and 59.0% of our total revenue from capacitor base films for the respective years or periods. This focus is primarily driven by (i) stronger market demand for thin base films and (ii) higher production volume of thin base films within a given timeframe.
Metallized Films
We began to provide metallized films in 2023, following our acquisition of 51% equity interest in Ningguo Haiwei on December 31, 2022, which primarily produces and sells metallized films. We have decided to provide metallized films to our customers, mainly to (i) diversify our product portfolio, (ii) strengthen connections with our key customers and (iii) expand customer network in East China.
We mainly manufacture metallized films using thin base films and have engaged a third party, Haowei Electronic, to provide us metallized films manufactured using ultra-thin base films. This is because our production capacity is limited in terms of using ultra-thin base films to manufacture metallized films. See “Business—Our Products—Capacitor Films—Metallized films—sources of metallized films we sold.” The table below sets forth the revenue and gross profit margin of our metallized films manufactured using ultra-thin base films and thin base films, respectively, for the periods indicated:

Notes:
-
(1) Production capacity is based on the total production rate of our launched production lines operating 24 hours a day for 28 days a month. The calculation of production capacity includes production lines which were paused for inspection, and excludes (i) production lines which were suspended for technical upgrades and (ii) newly launched production lines which were undergoing a production ramp-up period. The calculation of production capacity is standardized by converting to the equivalent production volume of 7.0 μm capacitor base films. According to CIC, such calculating method is in line with industry practice. According to CIC, the calculating method is widely adopted in the capacitor film industry in China, primarily because 7.0 μm is recognized as a representative industry benchmark that facilitates standardization, enhances data comparability across different film thicknesses, and supports consistent capacity reporting.
-
(2) Given that the calculation of our production capacity is standardized by converting to the equivalent production volume of 7.0 μm capacitor base films, our calculation of production volume for utilization rate purpose is also standardized using the same conversion method. This approach ensures consistency in calculating the utilization rate. According to CIC, such conversion of calculating standardized production volume for the purpose of calculating utilization rate is in line with industry practice.
-
(3) Utilization rate equals standardized production volume divided by production capacity.
The fluctuations of our overall production capacity during the Track Record Period were mainly attributable to the upgrades and expansion of our production lines. See “Business—Manufacturing— Existing Manufacturing Facilities—Production capacity and utilization” for details.

SUMMARY
OUR CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
During the Track Record Period, all of our revenue was derived from sales in the PRC. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, our five largest customers in each period of the Track Record Period together generated RMB119.2 million, RMB115.1 million, RMB158.4 million and RMB157.1 million of revenues, respectively, accounting for 36.4%, 34.9%, 37.6% and 42.1% of our total revenue for the respective years or periods, respectively. In addition, revenues generated from our largest customer in each year or period of the Track Record Period accounted for 17.3%, 12.2%, 12.6% and 12.0% of our total revenues in 2022, 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, respectively. See “Business—Customers, Sales and Marketing—Major Customers” for more details.
We price our products based on various factors, including product specifications requested by customers, raw material costs, demand and supply of products in the market, order volume and market conditions. We also price our products considering market competition. For example, BYD places order for metallized films through a bidding process with its potential suppliers. From 2022 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we adjusted downward our prices of metallized films sold to BYD to maintain our competitiveness in the bidding process, which was in line with industry trend, according to CIC. According to CIC, our pricing for capacitor film products generally aligns with current market trends.
We do not expect the price reduction trend in the capacitor film industry to have a material adverse impact on us, primarily because: (i) according to CIC, such trend was temporary, and the price of capacitor base film products have stabilized in 2025 and (ii) we plan to launch four additional production lines for capacitor base films to enhance our production capacity and to achieve economies of scale, See “Business— Our Strategies—Enhance our production capacity to meet increasing market demand.”
During the Track Record Period, our suppliers primarily included (i) suppliers of raw materials and (ii) suppliers of manufacturing equipment. In 2022, 2023, 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2025, purchases from our five largest suppliers in each year or period of the Track Record Period amounted to RMB195.9 million, RMB165.1 million, RMB290.7 million and RMB167.5 million, respectively, representing 90.4%, 78.6%, 89.9% and 74.4% of our total purchases for the respective years or periods, respectively. In addition, purchases from our largest supplier in each year or period of the Track Record Period accounted for 73.3%, 45.3%, 46.5% and 48.2% of our total purchases in 2022, 2023, 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2025, respectively. See “Business—Raw Materials and Suppliers—Our Suppliers” for more details.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
The capacitor film market in China is competitive and concentrated. According to CIC, the top five companies, including us, accounted for 61.6% of the market share in capacitor base film sales volume in 2024, and the percentage is expected to rise in the future. The key competitive factors in our market, according to CIC, include rapid expansion capability, technical expertise and intellectual property, integrated supply chain, scale and operational efficiency, and customer relationships and approval. Leading players, particularly those that have the capability to independently design and develop production lines for capacitor base films, can rapidly expand production capacity to meet growing market demand and increasing their market share.

Our revenue decreased by 3.2% from RMB162.2 million in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to RMB157.1 million in the five months ended May 31, 2025 due to a decrease revenue from metallized films. Such decrease was primarily due a decrease in sales volume of metallized films purchased from a third party.
Our revenue increased by 28.0% from RMB329.5 million in 2023 to RMB421.7 million in 2024, due to an increase in revenue from capacitor base films and metallized films. Such increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in our overall production capacity and (ii) strong market demand.
Our revenue increased by 0.8% from RMB327.1 million in 2022 to RMB329.5 million in 2023, primarily because we started to generate revenue from metallized films in 2023, which was partially offset by a decrease in the revenue from capacitor base films. Our revenue from capacitor base films decreased by 21.3% from RMB300.6 million in 2022 to RMB236.5 million in 2023, primarily due to:
-
a decrease in sales volume because (i) there was a decrease in the overall production capacity as we suspended the operation of our aging first production line to carry out technical upgrades and (ii) we provided capacitor base films that we produced to Ningguo Haiwei for the production of metallized films; and
-
a decrease in the average selling price due to our price adjustment in response to the price reduction in the end-use markets of capacitor base films. Such trend has similarly affected other companies in the capacitor film industry during the Track Record Period and had stabilized in 2025, according to CIC.

SUMMARY
Our gross profit margin decreased from 31.2% in 2023 to 29.7% in 2024. Specifically:
-
Our gross profit margin of capacitor base films remained relatively stable at 36.1% in 2023 and 36.9% in 2024. Specifically, our gross profit margin of ultra-thin base films remained relatively stable at 37.1% in 2023 and 38.0% in 2024. Our gross profit margin of thin-base films remained relatively stable at 35.9% in 2023 and 36.7% in 2024. Our gross profit margin of medium-thick base films remained relatively stable at 36.4% in 2023 and 37.3% in 2024.
-
Our gross profit margin of metallized films decreased from 23.7% in 2023 to 12.9% in 2024, primarily due to an increase in raw material costs, primarily attributable to an increase in our purchase amount of capacitor base films and metalized films for our metallized film business. For reasons for our purchase of metallized films from a third party, see “Business— Raw Materials and Suppliers—Raw Materials” for details.
Our gross profit margin decreased from 44.9% in 2022 to 31.2% in 2023, primarily due to (i) a decrease in gross profit margin of capacitor base films, and (ii) our acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei, after which we started to provide metallized films, which have a relatively lower gross profit margin compared to that of capacitor base films.
Specifically, our gross profit margin of capacitor base films decreased from 48.6% in 2022 to 36.1% in 2023, primarily due to:
-
a decrease in the average selling price due to our price adjustment in response to the price reduction in the end-use markets of capacitor base films. For our steps to mitigate the potential impact of future price reduction, see “Business—Customers, Sales and Marketing— Sales and Marketing—Pricing.”
-
an increase in the unit cost of sales, which was attributable to a reduction in economies of scale as a result of a decrease in our utilization rate and a decrease in our production capacity. Such decrease in production capacity was primarily because we suspended our first production line for capacitor base films from March 2023 to June 2024 to carry out technical upgrades.
Our gross profit margin of metallized films was 23.7% in 2022. Such gross profit margin was relatively lower compared to that of capacitor base films, primarily because, to meet the customer demand for metallized films, we (i) procured capacitor base films from third parties as the capacitor base films for the metallized films we sold and (ii) purchased metallized films from Haowei Electronic. See “Financial information—Significant Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations—Our Ability to Effectively Manage Our Cost of Sales—Capacitor base films and metallized films” for details.

Our net current assets increased from RMB70.7 million as of December 31, 2022 to RMB427.9 million as of December 31, 2023, primarily due to (i) an increase in cash and cash equivalents as a result of financing activities through issue of shares, (ii) a decrease in trade, bills and other payables as we repaid substantially all of our bills payables and (iii) a decrease in amounts due to related parties as we settled substantially all of our outstanding amounts due to related parties. This was partially offset by a decrease in restricted bank deposits.
Our net current assets increased from RMB427.9 million as of December 31, 2023 to RMB476.5 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to (i) an increase in trade, bills and other receivables primarily due to our business growth and (ii) a decrease in bank borrowings as we repaid part of our loan principals. This was partially offset by (i) a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and (ii) an increase in trade, bills and other payables.

SUMMARY
Our net current assets remained relatively stable at RMB476.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and RMB494.1 million as of May 31, 2025.
Our net assets increased from RMB245.8 million as of December 31, 2022 to RMB602.3 million as of December 31, 2023, primarily due to (i) the profit and total comprehensive income for the year of RMB69.8 million and (ii) issue of shares of RMB290.3 million. See Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity in the Accountant’s Report in Appendix I to this document.
Our net assets increased from RMB602.3 million as of December 31, 2023 to RMB686.0 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to the profit and total comprehensive income for the year of RMB86.4 million.
Our net assets increased from RMB686.0 million as of December 31, 2024 to RMB716.8 million as of May 31, 2025, primarily due to the profit and total comprehensive income for the period of RMB31.4 million.
We recorded accumulated loss as of January 1, 2022, because of lower average selling price of our capacitor films due to market competition. We broke-even and recognized profits in 2021, primarily attributable to (i) an increase in the average selling price of our capacitor films, which was in line with the industry trend as a result of higher market demand, according to CIC; and (ii) a decrease in our cost of sales as a result of our enhanced economies of scale.

SUMMARY
-
We cannot guarantee that our business initiatives and strategies will be successfully implemented or will generate sustainable revenue or profit.
-
Our business is exposed to the supply-demand dynamics in the capacitor film industry, and thus is affected by market demand for the film capacitors where our products are used.
-
A significant majority of our revenue is derived from capacitor base film products.
-
If we cannot keep up with the technological development and advancement in the production of capacitor films, or respond to the evolvement in industry standards, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
-
If our products do not meet customer expectations, or if we otherwise fail to increase sales of our products to our customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
-
If we are unable to retain existing customers and attract new customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.
-
We purchase electrical grade polypropylene, the key raw materials of capacitor base films from overseas suppliers, and we may not be able to secure our supply of key raw materials in a stable and timely manner.
-
Tensions in international trade and rising political tensions may affect our supply chains, thus adversely impacting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
-
We are exposed to risks relating to cost fluctuations of raw materials caused by fluctuations in prices and foreign currency exchange.

SUMMARY
DIVIDEND
We did not declare or distribute any dividend to our Shareholders during the Track Record Period. We do not maintain a formal dividend policy or have a fixed dividend distribution ratio, and we may distribute dividends by way of cash or by other means that our Board considers appropriate. Any proposed distribution of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board and the approval of our Shareholders. Pursuant to the Articles of Association, 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 and any other conditions that our Board may deem relevant.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to distribute dividends of the above amount or any amount, or at all, in any year. The declaration and payment of dividends may also be limited by legal restrictions and by loan or other agreements that our Company and our subsidiaries have entered into or may enter into in the future. Under PRC law, dividends may be paid only out of distributable profit, which is our profit as determined under PRC GAAP or IFRS, whichever is lower, less any recovery of accumulated losses and appropriations to statutory and other reserves that we are required to make. We may not have sufficient or any distributable profit to enable us to make dividend distributions to our Shareholders, including in years in which we are profitable. For details, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Doing Business in the Country Where We Operate—Our historical dividends may not be indicative of our future dividend policy, and there can be no assurance that we will declare and distribute any amount of dividends in the future.” In addition, our ability to distribute dividends in the future also depends on whether we can receive dividends from our subsidiaries.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
If we fail to manage growth effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Our revenue increased by 0.8% from RMB327.1 million in 2022 to RMB329.5 million in 2023, and further increased by 28.0% to RMB421.7 million in 2024, and decreased by 3.2% from RMB162.2 million in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to RMB157.1 million in the five months ended May 31, 2025. Specifically, our revenue from capacitor base films, which are our main products, decreased by 21.3% from RMB300.6 million in 2022 to RMB236.5 million in 2023, and increased by 29.9% from RMB236.5 million in 2023 to RMB307.2 million in 2024, and increased by 6.0% from RMB116.4 million in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to RMB123.4 million in the five months ended May 31, 2025. In addition, we started to provide metallized films in 2023 following our acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei. Our revenue from metallized films was RMB71.0 million in 2023, and further increased by 20.1% to RMB85.2 million in 2024, and decreased by 40.8% from RMB36.3 million in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to RMB21.5 million in the five months ended May 31, 2025.
We may not be able to continue growing at the same rate as we did during the Track Record Period, or as expected, or at all. Our results of operations depend to a large extent on our ability to execute our growth plan and manage our expansion and growth successfully. The successful growth of our business depends on our ability to:
-
produce products that meet customer expectation;
-
increase our production capacity to meet customer demand in a timely manner;
-
secure a stable supply of key raw materials at a reasonable cost;
-
maintain and effectively utilize our manufacturing facilities;
-
maintain and expand our sales network;
-
enhance our talent management and recruit additional key personnel;
– 40 –
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
-
monitor and control expenses and investments in anticipation of expanded operations;
-
improve our operational, financial and management internal control, compliance programs and reporting systems; and
-
address new market opportunities and potentially unforeseen challenges as they arise.
In addition, our future growth may be affected by factors beyond our control. Such factors include changes in the macroeconomic condition of China, changes in the competitive landscape of the industries in which we operate, government regulations and changes in supply and demand for our products, among others.
We cannot guarantee that our business initiatives and strategies will be successfully implemented or will generate sustainable revenue or profit.
We plan to enhance our production capacity, and integrate resources across the industry chains. For details, see “Business—Our Strategies.” 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.
Our business is exposed to the supply-demand dynamics in the capacitor film industry, and thus is affected by market demand for the film capacitors where our products are used.
We mainly manufacture and sell capacitor film products that are used for film capacitors applied in various industries, including NEV, new energy electricity system, industrial equipment and home appliances. Accordingly, our results of operations have been and are expected to continue to be affected by the downstream demand for the film capacitors applied in such industries. The downstream demand for film capacitors in these industries are affected by multiple factors, such as:
-
technical advantages of film capacitors compared to other types of capacitors;
-
the government policies promoting the development of industries such as NEV, new energy electricity system, industrial equipment and home appliances where film capacitors are widely applied; and
-
the macroeconomic condition which affects the consumption habits of end consumers.

RISK FACTORS
Any decrease in the downstream demand for film capacitors in the industries such as NEV, new energy electricity system, industrial equipment and home appliances would result in a decrease in customer orders for our products. 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 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 film capacitors, 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.
A significant majority of our revenue is derived from capacitor base film products.
Our revenue relies on the sales performance of the capacitor base film products we produce. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, the revenue generated from the sale of capacitor base films accounted for 91.9%, 71.8%, 72.8%, 71.7% and 78.5% of our total revenue for the respective years or periods, respectively. As such, we may be exposed to more risks and uncertainties in times of volatile market conditions compared to our competitors that generate their income from a more diversified product portfolio.
In particular, our business may be affected by changes in relevant policies and shifts in market demand. If the relevant regulatory authorities impose additional requirements on the production of capacitor base films or the procurement of key raw materials, we may incur additional expenses in order to comply with these requirements. If we fail to comply with relevant requirements or offset the additional expenses with revenue, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the market demand for capacitor base films may be subject to changes in the downstream demand for end-use applications in industries such as NEV, new energy electricity system, industrial equipment and home appliances. This may in turn adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we cannot keep up with the technological development and advancement in the production of capacitor films, or respond to the evolution of industry standards, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
The capacitor film industry is evolving with technological innovations, new industry standards and different market needs. Our technological capabilities and development of new products are critical to our success. As the standards for capacitor films progress, we need to enhance our technologies and products to ensure our conformity to new industry standards.
We need to keep investing resources, including financial and human resources, in research and development in order to make our products competitive in the market. Our research and development expenses were RMB11.2 million, RMB14.4 million, RMB16.8 million, RMB5.1 million and RMB7.3 million in 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant research and development expenses in the foreseeable future on (i) ultra-thin base films, (ii) composite copper foil base films and (iii) the design and development of production lines. For details, see “Business—Our Strategies—Strengthen R&D capabilities and attract top

RISK FACTORS
talent” and “Future Plans and Use of [REDACTED] .” However, our capital and operating expenditure invested in research and development may not yield the expected results. New technologies in our industry could render our technologies or our products obsolete or unattractive, thereby limiting our ability to recover related development costs. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Moreover, our future growth will be affected by our ability to penetrate new markets, improve our existing products and introduce new products that are acceptable to our customers and the market. Any delays or failure in our development and application of new technologies to our products could make our products less competitive in the market, adversely affecting the market acceptance of our products. For example, we develop and refine composite copper foil base films. See “Business—Our Products— Other Products—Composite copper foil base films” for details. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully launch or profit from composite copper foil base films or other products based on newly-developed technologies in a timely manner, or at all. If we are unable to devote adequate resources to enhance our technologies, refine our existing products, introduce new products to meet customer requirements, or refine the design of our production lines, on a timely basis, we could lose some, if not all, of our customers and our market share, and our revenue would decline. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
If our products do not meet customer expectations, or if we otherwise fail to increase sales of our products to our customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our success depends on our ability to meet customer expectations and increase the sale of our products to our customers. Our customers place orders with specific requirements on the thickness of capacitor films. In addition, the production parameters, such as voltage endurance, thermal shrinkage resistance, surface roughness of capacitor films directly affect the quality, safety and production cost of film capacitors. Therefore, our customers may have specific requirements on the quality of capacitor film products. If we cannot offer products that meet our customers’ evolving demand for quality, or if our competitors are able to offer products with more competitive quality, metrics and safety features, our ability to retain our customers may be adversely affected. Further, we currently procure electrical grade polypropylene, the key raw material of capacitor base films, from overseas suppliers, which is in line with the industry practice in China, according to CIC. We plan to conduct production trials using domestically procured electrical grade polypropylene in the future. If we launch products made with domestically sourced electrical grade polypropylene, and such products fail to satisfy our customers’ demand due to deficiencies in the quality of the domestically sourced electrical grade polypropylene, the sale of our products may be adversely affected.
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 from competitors at a lower price and shifts in the macroeconomic condition. See “—If we are unable to retain existing customers and attract new customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.” 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.

RISK FACTORS
Further, our ability to increase the sale of our products depends on our ability to effectively market our products, 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 distribution and selling 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 distribution and selling expenses. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
If we are unable to retain existing customers and attract new customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.
Our business depends on our ability to retain our existing customers and attract new customers. Our existing customers may terminate our business relationship due to factors such as deficiencies in the quality of the products we offer, failure to meet our existing customers’ evolving demand, changes in their business model and shifts in the macroeconomic condition. In addition, we may not be able to attract new customers if we cannot offer products that meet the requirements of the market with competitive pricing, or if we fail to compete in other aspects. As a result, our business, financial conditions and results of operations will be adversely affected.
We purchase electrical grade polypropylene, the key raw material of capacitor base films, from overseas suppliers, and we may not be able to secure our supply of key raw materials in a stable and timely manner.
The key raw material of our capacitor base film products is electrical grade polypropylene. We procure electrical grade polypropylene from overseas suppliers. See “Business—Raw Materials and Suppliers—Raw Materials—Electrical grade polypropylene.” Such overseas suppliers may not be able to satisfy our current or future requirements of quality and quantity on a timely basis. Moreover, the prices of electrical grade polypropylene may fluctuate significantly due to factors beyond our control, such as shifting market conditions, increase in global demand or force majeure events including, but not limited to, wars, acts of terrorism and environmental disasters. For details, see “—We are exposed to risks relating to cost fluctuations of raw materials caused by fluctuations in prices and foreign currency exchange.” If our current overseas suppliers are not able to satisfy our requirements on a timely basis, or at all, or if the price of electrical grade polypropylene fluctuates significantly, we may need to seek alternative sources of electrical grade polypropylene or redesign our products to manufacture substitutes. According to CIC, the amount of electrical grade polypropylene provided is limited in the world, and electrical grade polypropylene is generally only provided by overseas companies. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure alternative sources in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. If we fail in the above-mentioned responses, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
Additionally, we convert RMB into foreign currency to purchase electrical grade polypropylene. Given that the conversion of RMB into foreign currency is subject to Chinese foreign exchange regulations, unfavorable changes in exchange rates or regulatory policies could result in insufficient foreign exchange availability. In such cases, we may not be able to procure sufficient electrical grade polypropylene for our production, and our daily business operations may be disrupted. For more details, see “—Risks Relating to Doing Business in the Country Where We Operate—The PRC government’s control over foreign currency conversion may adversely affect our business, results of operations and our ability to remit dividends.”
Tensions in international trade and rising political tensions may affect our supply chains, thus adversely impacting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Some jurisdictions or organizations have, through executive order, legislation or other governmental means, imposed economic sanctions and export or import controls, such as tariff controls, against certain countries, regions, targeted industry sectors, entities or individuals. Such law and regulations and their interpretation and enforcement are likely subject to frequent changes and substantial uncertainties, which may be heightened by national security concerns or driven by political or other factors that are beyond our control. If our business operation, especially our supply chain of electrical grade polypropylene, the key raw material of capacitor base films, may be affected by such laws and regulations, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
In particular, given that our suppliers of electrical grade polypropylene are located overseas, geopolitical and trade tensions, such as tariff controls or trade or regulatory embargoes imposed by foreign countries or China involving those suppliers, may adversely affect our supply chain. If our supply chain is significantly disrupted, and we are unable to identify alternative suppliers in a timely manner, the loss of such suppliers could disrupt our daily business operations. Such disruptions may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are exposed to risks relating to cost fluctuations of raw materials caused by fluctuations in prices and foreign currency exchange.
Our raw material costs represent a substantial portion of our total operating costs. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, raw material costs accounted for 82.5%, 84.5%, 83.4%, 82.4% and 80.8% of our cost of sales for the respective years or periods. We may be subject to fluctuations in the prices of raw materials, as well as in energy, 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, energy, transportation and other necessary supplies or services.
The price of electrical grade polypropylene fluctuated in recent years. According to CIC, the annual average price of electrical grade polypropylene decreased from RMB15.2 thousand per ton in 2022, to RMB12.4 thousand per ton in 2023, and slightly increased to RMB12.8 thousand per ton in 2024. According to CIC, the fluctuation was primarily driven by the fluctuation in the price of crude oil, a key raw material for the production of electrical grade polypropylene. Crude oil price experienced a significant

RISK FACTORS
increase in 2022 due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and then declined and remained relatively stable in 2023 and 2024. See “Industry Overview—Price Analysis.” 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, and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. On the other hand, if the prices of our products rise 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 rely on a limited number of suppliers for our production.
We rely on a limited number of suppliers for raw materials and manufacturing equipment which we use in our production. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, the aggregate purchases from our five largest suppliers in each year or period of the Track Record Period were RMB195.9 million, RMB165.1 million, RMB290.7 million and RMB167.5 million, respectively, accounting for 90.4%, 78.6%, 89.9% and 74.4% of our total purchases, respectively. Purchases from our largest supplier accounted for 73.7%, 45.3%, 46.5% and 48.2% of our total purchases for the same years, respectively. For details, see “Business—Raw Materials and Suppliers—Our 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 in the prices of the raw materials and equipment used in our production. If any of our suppliers terminate their relationship with us, especially any of the five largest suppliers in each period of 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 are subject to various regulations and are required to obtain and maintain various qualifications, government licenses and approvals in the jurisdictions in which they operate. If any of these suppliers loses its qualification or eligibility because of its failure to comply with regulatory requirements, we may not be able to find alternative suppliers in a timely manner or at all.
We expanded our business through acquisition, which may fail to yield the desired benefits.
We started to provide metallized films following our acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei on December 31, 2022, which primarily manufactures and sells metallized films.
Our ability to integrate Ningguo Haiwei into our existing business also affects the results of operations of the entity. Our ability for integration may be affected by a variety of factors beyond our control, such as the complexity and size of Ningguo Haiwei’s business operations, incompatibility in corporate cultures, as well as the inability to retain key personnel. If we fail to successfully integrate and manage the new business, we may not be able to expand as originally planned prior to the acquisition. In addition, our metallized film business is also subject to market demand for metallized films. If our customers reduce or eliminate their reliance on us for metallized films, our revenue from metallized films may be materially adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
We face intense competition in the industries in which we operate.
The capacitor film market in China is developing rapidly and the competitive landscape is continuously evolving. Our competitors frequently improve existing products or introduce new products with lower prices. Furthermore, some of our current or potential competitors may have greater resources or may be acquired by third parties with greater resources. Market entrants or strategic alliances with more advanced technologies, greater marketing expertise and greater financial resources may emerge and introduce more competitive products at lower prices. If we fail to maintain our competitive advantages, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
In addition, some of our current customers have significant human and financial resources. As a result, they may develop and manufacture new capacitor film products in-house or with their business partners. If our current customers successfully introduce new products that are more competitive and costeffective than our products, they may terminate our business relationship, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We may not be successful in expanding our operations to meet our customers’ demands, managing our growth effectively or opening our new facilities in a timely manner.
Our business growth depends on our ability to efficiently execute our production capacity expansion plan. By 2027, we expect to launch four production lines for capacitor base films in addition to our currently existing production lines. See “Business—Manufacturing—Planned Manufacturing Facilities” and “Future Plans and Use of [REDACTED] ” The success of our production expansion plan may be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to:
-
time frame of the construction of our facilities and delivery of our production lines;
-
the process of independent design and development of our production lines for capacitor base films;
-
the stable price and supply of raw materials;
-
our ability to finance the expansion in a timely manner and on commercially reasonable terms;
-
relevant approvals and licenses required for, and compliance with laws and regulations related to the construction and operation of our facilities;
-
diversion of management attention and other resources;
-
local government grants and policies;
-
depreciation and operational expenses; and
-
our ability to manage the administrative infrastructure and internal control and quality control systems.

RISK FACTORS
Even if we succeed in increasing our production capacity, there may not be enough demand for our products. If there is persistent mismatch in the demand for our products and our production capacity, we may experience overcapacity and under-utilization of our resources, which may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Moreover, the operation and maintenance of our production lines require significant technological and production process expertise. Any change in or addition to our production lines during the expansion could cause one or more production errors, resulting in temporary suspension of or delays in our production until the errors are researched, identified and rectified. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our efforts in developing and investing in research and development may not be effective.
We invest in R&D activities to design and develop our production lines for capacitor base films and enhance product portfolio. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, our research and development expenses were RMB11.2 million, RMB14.4 million, RMB16.8 million, RMB5.1 million and RMB7.3 million, respectively. To enhance our production lines and products and to remain competitive in the industry, we need to continue investing in R&D activities.
Our ability to design and develop production lines for capacitor base films primarily includes (i) designing critical components of the manufacturing equipment to enhance its performance and effectiveness; and (ii) optimizing the production parameters of core equipment, including size, operation speed and function, to help ensure seamless coordination across each production step, thus enhancing the overall efficiency. See “Business—Manufacturing—Self-Design and Development of Production Lines.” However, we cannot assure you that our R&D efforts in independently designing and developing our production lines will be successful in the future. We may not be able to obtain sufficient resources, including R&D personnel and financial resources, to support the development of our production lines. The development of our production lines may be costly and time-consuming, the outcome of which may be unpredictable. Even if we succeed in continuing developing production lines catered to the needs of production, we may not be able to refine them such that they produce capacitor base film products that satisfy our customers’ evolving or customized demands. If we fail to design, develop or refine our manufacturing equipment in a timely manner or at all, our ability to expand our production capacity may be adversely affected.
In addition, our R&D activities primarily focus on ultra-thin base films and composite copper foil base films. However, we cannot assure you that our product research and development projects will be successful or be completed within the anticipated time frame or budget. As it is often difficult to project the time frame for developing new products and the duration of market window for these products, there is a substantial risk that we may have to abandon a potential product that is no longer commercially viable, even after we have invested significant resources in the development of such product. Further, even if we successfully commercialize such products, there is no guarantee that they will receive wide market acceptance. Also, we cannot assure you that our existing or potential competitors will not develop products which are similar or superior to our products or more competitively priced. If we continually fail in our product launch efforts, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
Our manufacturing processes are complex and costly. Disruptions and suspension of our production lines can significantly impact our production volume, and our business, financial condition and results of operations can be affected as a result.
Our manufacturing processes require periodical maintenance and refinement sophisticated and costly equipment to maintain and improve product quality. If our manufacturing equipment ages or malfunctions, any failure to repair the equipment in a timely manner may result in disruption in our production lines and adversely affect our business. For instance, our standardized production volume of capacitor base films decreased from 13,776 tons in 2022 to 10,901 tons in 2023, primarily because (i) in March 2023, we paused the operation of three production lines for capacitor base films to carry out inspection for approximately 20 days; and (ii) we suspended the operation of our aging first production line for capacitor base films, which was originally launched in 2006, to undertake technical upgrades from March 2023 to June 2024. We cannot assure you that we will not experience manufacturing disruption, or will not suspend our production lines for technical upgrades for relatively long time in the future. If that occurs, our production volume and as a result, our revenue, may be materially adversely affected.
In addition, we may experience disruptions in our production lines due to additional factors such as labor shortages or natural disasters, which may delay our production and delivery, leading to sales loss, increased costs and damaged customer relationships. Furthermore, limitations in our production capacity may adversely affect our ability to meet customer demands. As product demand increases, we may not be able to scale production accordingly, which may result in longer lead times, lost sales and customer dissatisfaction. Any such event may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.
If we are unable to maintain high utilization rates of our manufacturing facilities, our profitability will be adversely affected.
High utilization rates of our manufacturing facilities allow us to allocate fixed costs over a greater quantity of products. Increase or decrease in utilization rates can significantly impact our gross margin. Accordingly, the profitability of our operation in part depends on our ability to maintain high utilization rates. Our utilization rates are subject to risks related to equipment malfunction, utilities interruption and deficiencies in quality control. We have experienced fluctuations in our overall production capacity utilization rates during the Track Record Period. Specifically, our production capacity utilization rate of capacitor base films was 99.8%, 88.3%, 98.8%, 96.2% and 98.2% in 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Our production capacity utilization rate of metallized films was 89.9%, 95.3%, 89.0% and 83.1% in 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Such fluctuations were mainly attributable to (i) the upgrades and expansion of our product lines and (ii) the increase in market demand for our capacitor film products. See “Business— Manufacturing—Existing Manufacturing Facilities—Production capacity and utilization” for details. We cannot assure you that we will not experience similar or greater fluctuations in our production capacity utilization rates in the future.

RISK FACTORS
In addition, we plan to expand our production capacity. See “Business—Our Strategies” for details. If future demand from downstream customers fails to match our capacity expansions, we may face excess capacity and our utilization rates may be adversely affected. Moreover, if there is overcapacity in the capacitor films industry, we may not be able to out-compete our competitors in the industry. Decline in our utilization rates can significantly impact our gross margin and, as a result, our business, financial condition and results of operation will be adversely affected.
We are exposed to risks relating to the retention of our management team, as well as our ability to attract and retain qualified technical, engineering and sales personnels and other key employees.
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, and to make sure each of them is and will continue to be actively engaged in our management and our strategic planning. The departure of any of the key individuals from or their reduced attention to us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We are and will continue to be dependent on the services of members of our management team. 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.
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 design, develop and refine our production line and improve the quality of our products, and our experienced sales personnel to maintain relationships with our customers. 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.

RISK FACTORS
We may not be able to adequately establish, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights, or defend against intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claims raised by third parties.
Our intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, know-how, proprietary technologies, trade secrets and other proprietary information, is an essential asset of our business. Our success depends on the ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. We expect to rely on a combination of intellectual property rights, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, know-how and trade secrets, in addition to employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, intellectual property licenses and other contractual rights, to establish, maintain, protect and enforce our rights in our technology, proprietary information and processes.
However, intellectual property laws and our procedures and restrictions will provide only limited protection and any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed or misappropriated. If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, we may lose important advantage in the markets in which we compete. In addition, our employees or business partners may intentionally or inadvertently disclose our trade secrets to competitors or misappropriate our trade secrets through other unauthorized use which we may not be able to detect. Even if we detect such use, enforcing an infringement or misappropriation claim against such use may be expensive and timeconsuming. If we fail in bringing such claims, our intellectual property rights may be unenforceable, invalidated or restricted. Furthermore, the application and interpretation of intellectual property laws in China is evolving and the scope of protection over our intellectual property may change. The protection over our intellectual property rights may be further limited and the result of enforcement claims may be unpredictable. As a result, we may divert significant financial resources protecting and enforcing our intellectual property rights and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
In addition, we cannot assure you that our operations or any aspects of our business do not or will not inadvertently infringe upon or otherwise violate trademarks, copyrights, patents, know-how, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights held by third parties. Therefore, we may be subject to additional infringement or misappropriation claims against us in the future relating to the intellectual property rights of third parties. Defending against any infringement or misappropriation claims can be costly and time-consuming and the outcome of these claims are unpredictable. If we are found to have violated the intellectual property rights of third parties, we may be required to suspend our production or sales activities related to such intellectual property, pay substantial damages to third parties or enter into royalty or licensing agreements which may not be available on terms favorable to us. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
Our products are intricate in nature and may contain defects.
Our products may contain defects that are difficult to detect and correct. We may not be able to detect and correct the defects in a timely manner, or at all. Even if these defects and errors are discovered prior to the commercialization of our products, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our products in a timely manner and may need to incur additional cost identifying and addressing the cause of such defects or errors in our production process. If the defects and errors are discovered after our products are commercialized, integrated and deployed by our customers, we may further incur additional remedial costs to recall and replace our products, and legal costs or monetary damages related to potential legal claims brought against us under applicable laws, rules and regulations. As a result, we may face negative publicity that will damage our reputation. Our customers may terminate the business relationship with us and we may not be able to attract new customers to maintain our sales, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Maintaining our brand image as a supplier of capacitor films is critical to our success, and any failure to do so could severely damage our reputation, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation is critical to our relationships with our customers. Any loss of trust in our products could harm the value of our brand, which could reduce our revenue and profitability. Our ability to maintain our position as a supplier of capacitor films relies on the consistent and high quality of our products, customers’ satisfaction with our products and after-sale services, and the increasing brand awareness through marketing activities. Any negative public perception or word of mouth that our products are defective or otherwise unsatisfactory, even if factually incorrect or based on isolated incidents, 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 current customers. If we are unable to maintain our reputation or the positive recognition of our products and after-sale services, we may not be able to maintain or grow our customer base, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Our business and operations require significant capital resources.
We may need to raise additional capital in the future to further expand our business and sustain our growth. 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 are impacted by factors including, but not limited to, our market position, future profitability, 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 shareholders will experience additional dilution.

RISK FACTORS
We incurred debts during the Track Record Period and may incur more debts in the future.
As of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, and May 31, 2025, we recorded bank borrowings of RMB78.9 million, RMB84.7 million, RMB15.0 million and RMB67.0 million, respectively. This in turn may require us to seek adequate financing from sources such as external debt, which may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. Any difficulty in or failure to repay our debts and or any additional debt can materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.
If we incur more debts in the future, an increased balance of indebtedness may require us to devote our financial resources to servicing such debt rather than funding our operating activities, which constrains our capital flexibility and may in turn adversely affect our business growth. In addition, if we incur a large balance of indebtedness, we may not be able to service our interest and principal repayments in a timely manner or at all, which could trigger cross-defaults with other debts and limit our ability to obtain further debt financing. As a result, failure to manage our debt may adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.
We have historically experienced fluctuations in our cash flow from operating activities.
We had net cash used in operating activities of RMB89.4 million in 2023. We had net cash from operating activities of RMB232.1 million and RMB17.2 million in 2022 and 2024, respectively. Our ability to generate sufficient operating cash flow depends on factors such as our ability to efficiently manage our business activities and the macroeconomic condition. If our cost of continuing operations increases in the future or our cash generated from operating activities does not meet our expectation, our operating cash position may be adversely affected and we may not be able to sustain our operation or growth. In addition, we may need to raise additional capital in the future to further expand our business, which may expose us to liquidity risk and further credit risk. If we fail to maintain sufficient cash generated from operating activities or obtain adequate external financing, our business, financial condition and prospects could be adversely affected.
We are subject to customer concentration risk.
In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, the revenue generated from our five largest customers in each year or period of the Track Record Period was RMB119.2 million, RMB115.1 million, RMB158.4 million and RMB157.1 million, respectively, accounting for 36.4%, 34.9%, 37.6% and 42.1% of our total revenue, respectively. Revenues generated from our largest customer in each year or period of the Track Record Period were RMB56.6 million, RMB40.3 million, RMB41.9 million and RMB18.9 million, accounting for 17.3%, 12.2%, 12.6% and 12.0% of our total revenue for the respective years or periods, respectively. For details, see “Business—Customers, Sales and Marketing—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 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, 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 or loss of business. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operation will be adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
We are exposed to inventory management risks.
Our inventories primarily consist of raw materials and consumables, work in progress and finished goods. As of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, and May 31, 2025, we had inventories of RMB100.2 million, RMB73.5 million, RMB69.3 million and RMB99.6 million, respectively. During the Track Record Period, we assessed impairment to inventories and wrote down our inventories to the net realizable value if they became obsolete or damaged or their prices went down and their net realizable value was lower than the costs. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, we recognized inventory writedown of RMB1.0 million, RMB1.3 million, RMB1.8 million and RMB1.5 million, respectively. However, we cannot assure you that we will not experience material write-downs in the future. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, our average inventory turnover days were 162.9 days, 139.9 days, 87.9 days and 126.2 days, respectively. Any fluctuation and extension of inventory turnover may adversely affect our cash flow and liquidity. See “Financial Information—Selected Balance Sheet Items— Net Current Assets/Liabilities—Inventories” for details.
In addition, we manage our inventory levels based on our internal forecast of customer demand. 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 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.
We may face sales returns from time to time which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Generally, we accept sales returns for verified product defects for which we are responsible. In addition, because our sales agreements with our customers include warranty provisions, we may be subject to claims or threats of claims by our customers for their financial loss related to defects in our products. Any such claims may be costly and time-consuming for us to defend and may divert our management attention. We cannot assure you that that we will not encounter material sales returns, cancellation of orders or become subject to warranty claims due to product defects. In any of the above cases, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
Our deferred tax may not be recoverable, which may affect our financial condition in the future.
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 May 31, 2025, we recorded deferred tax assets of RMB15.3 million, RMB6.9 million, RMB3.6 million and RMB2.5 million, respectively. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, we recognized deferred tax of RMB18.6 million, RMB8.5 million, RMB3.2 million, RMB3.2 million and RMB1.2 million, respectively. Based on our accounting policies, deferred tax is 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 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. Additional deferred tax assets are recognized if it is probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred income tax assets to be recovered. 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.
We are exposed to the credit risk of our customers and we may not be able to collect our trade, bills and other receivables in a timely manner or at all.
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 grant credit period to our customers according to their credit profile and historical performance. We typically grant credit terms of up to two months to eligible customers. As of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, and May 31, 2025, our trade, bills and other receivables were RMB258.9 million, RMB278.5 million, RMB337.0 million and RMB353.1 million, respectively. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, our average trade receivables turnover days were 105.9 days, 136.7 days, 123.0 days and 156.9 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—Net Current Assets/Liabilities—trade, bills and other receivables” for details. Our management team regularly reviews the recoverability of overdue balances for trade, bills and other receivables and may provide for impairment when appropriate. 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 further 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
We are exposed to risks relating to the failure or malfunction of the information technology systems.
We rely on information technology systems to conduct and monitor the daily operations of our manufacturing facilities, and to collect up-to-date financial, operating and other transactional data, including procurement, production, inventory and sales and logistics, for business analysis and forecast. In addition, we store various proprietary information and customer data in these systems. 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. However, 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.
We are exposed to risks relating to internal controls and corporate governance.
Our success to a large extent depends on our ability to effectively utilize our risk management and internal control systems, including organization framework, policies, procedures and risk management methods. For example, we have established internal control systems over financial reporting. However, we may not be able to discover and fully address all deficiencies in our internal control systems over financial reporting in a timely manner. Our failure to timely discover and address any deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and relevant regulatory filings on a timely basis.
In addition, due to the size of our business, we cannot assure you that such implementation will not involve any human errors or mistakes, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations. Our business expansion will require us to continue to enhance our risk management capabilities. If we fail to timely enhance our risk management policies and procedures in response to our changing business, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

RISK FACTORS
Work stoppage, increase in labor costs and other labor-related matters may have an adverse effect on our business.
A good working relationship with our employees is crucial to our operations and success. We cannot assure you that such events will not arise in the future. Any strike or other work stoppage will disrupt our operations or incur higher on-going labor costs, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we, our suppliers or our customers may experience labor instability, and we may not be able to predict the outcome of any future labor negotiations. Any conflicts between us and our employees or between our suppliers and customers and their respective employees, if any, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, if labor costs in regions where we operate increase in the future, our production costs would increase. We may not be able to pass on these increased costs to customers by increasing the selling prices of our products in light of competitive pressure in the markets where we operate. In such circumstances, our profit margin may decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
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. During the Track Record Period, certain of our PRC subsidiaries did not make full contributions to social insurance and housing provident fund for all employees in accordance with the Regulations on Administration of Housing Provident Fund (《住房公 積金管理條例》) and the Social Insurance Law of the PRC (《中華人民共和國社會保險法》). Such noncompliance incidents occurred primarily because (i) we failed to make timely contribution upon the hiring of certain new employees; (ii) certain of our employees had already participated in other local rural social insurance plans, rural cooperative medical schemes or other similar schemes; and (iii) certain employees voluntarily made the decision to not make such contributions in lieu of receiving cash payments. We estimate that the aggregate shortfall of social insurance and housing provident fund contributions for the outstanding amounts that may be required to be settled under (i) and (ii) above in 2022 and 2023, and 2024 amounted to approximately nil, RMB67.6 thousand and RMB749.1 thousand, respectively.

RISK FACTORS
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.
Our efforts to obtain requisite government approvals or licenses for carrying out our operations may fail or experience delays.
Under PRC laws and regulations, we are required to obtain or complete a number of licenses, approvals, registrations, filings and other permissions for our operation. See “Business—Licenses, Approvals and Permits.” 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.
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 PRC 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.
We are subject to environmental, fire prevention, health and safety laws and regulations and production standards and it may be onerous and costly to comply with such regulations and standards.
We are subject to numerous environmental, fire prevention, health and safety laws and regulations and production standards. See “Regulatory Overview.” The cost of compliance with and liabilities from non-compliance of such laws and regulations may be significant. For example, during the Track Record Period, certain of our production facilities had not completed fire control acceptance procedures after completion of construction. If we fail to complete such procedures as required, we may be ordered to suspend our productions or subject to additional fines and penalties. In addition, as we continue to expand our business, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain all required licenses and approvals or that there will not be violations of current or future laws, regulations and production standards. By 2027,

RISK FACTORS
we expect to launch four production lines for capacitor base films in addition to our currently existing production lines. See “Business—Manufacturing—Planned Manufacturing Facilities” and “Future Plans and Use of [REDACTED] .” Our new production lines can only be put into operation after the relevant administrative authorities in charge of environmental protection, fire prevention, health and safety have examined and approved the relevant facilities. Delays in or failure to obtain all the requisite regulatory approvals of such facilities may affect our ability to develop, manufacture and commercialize our products as planned.
As environmental, fire prevention, health and safety laws and regulations and production standards may evolve, we may not be able to comply with, or accurately predict any potential substantial cost of complying with, these laws and regulations. If we fail to comply with relevant laws and regulations, we may be subject to rectification orders, fines, potentially monetary damages, or production suspensions of our business operations. In addition, we cannot fully eliminate the risk of personal injury or any other types of hazards at our facilities during the process of development, testing and manufacturing of our products. In the event of such accident, we could be held liable for damages and clean-up costs which, to the extent not covered by existing insurance or indemnification, could harm our business. Other adverse effects could result from such liability, including reputational damage.
Increasing focus on environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters by regulators and other stakeholders may increase our compliance risk and costs.
We may incur additional costs and expenses to identify, manage and mitigate ESG risks. We monitor climate-related and other environmental risks that may impact our business, strategy and financial condition and evaluate the magnitude of the resulting impact over the short-, medium-, and long-term horizons. We monitor a wide range of indicators such as power consumption, greenhouse gas emission, water consumption and waste generation to manage our climate-related and other environmental risks arising from our operations. See “Business—Environment, Social and Governance.” However, our measures addressing the ESG risks related to our business may not succeed in a timely manner, at reasonable costs, or at all, and our business may be adversely affected.
In addition, changes in governmental polices, laws and regulations related to, as well as investors’ focus on, ESG issues may require us to incur additional costs to comply with applicable regulations and to meet customers and investor expectations. If we are or are perceived to be unable to comply with such new laws and regulations and expectations, our customers may choose to purchase products from our competitors who are able to meet these regulations and our investors may decide to reallocate or not commit capital. Any of these circumstances could cause negative publicity and material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be involved in claims, disputes and legal proceedings in our ordinary course of business.
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.

RISK FACTORS
During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had not been involved in or subject to any litigation, arbitration, administrative proceedings, claims, damages or losses that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or reputation and compliance. However, new legal or administrative proceedings and claims may arise 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.
We may not be able to detect and prevent fraud or other misconduct committed by our employees or third parties.
We may be exposed to fraud, bribery or other misconduct committed by our employees, suppliers or any other third parties that could subject us to financial loss, liabilities and sanctions imposed by governmental authorities and reputational risks. We cannot assure you that there will not be any such instances in the future, and we may not be able to prevent or deter such instances of misconduct. In addition, our internal control systems that are designed to monitor our operations and overall compliance may not be able to detect any such instances of misconduct. Any such misconduct committed against our interests may adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may face penalties for the non-registration of our property lease agreements or for the failure to obtain property right certificates of future property lease agreements.
Under the relevant PRC law, all lease agreements are required to be registered and filed with the relevant land and real estate administration bureaus. However, as of the date of this document, the lease agreements with respect to one of our leased properties had not been registered or filed with the relevant land and real estate administration authorities because the relevant lessors failed to provide necessary documents for us to register or file the leases with the local government authorities. 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. See “Business—Properties.”
In addition, we may enter into additional property lease agreements in China in the future. However, we may not be able to receive valid title certificate for commercial purpose or relevant authorization document evidencing right to lease the property from our future lessors. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to any challenges, lawsuits or other actions taken against us with respect to any property defect and any property leased by us in the future for which the relevant lessor does not hold valid title certificate. If such property is successfully challenged, we may have to suspend our use of the property. The lease may be voided and unenforceable, and we may be forced to relocate our operation from the affected property.

RISK FACTORS
Any preferential tax treatment and the government subsidies that we enjoy may be altered or terminated.
We cannot assure you that the policies on preferential tax treatment will not change or that any preferential tax treatment we enjoy or will be 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 one of our subsidiaries were approved as “High New Technology Enterprises” and, accordingly, enjoy a preferential income tax rate of 15% during the Track Record Period. We are also entitled to claim 175% of the R&D expenses incurred in a year as tax deductible expenses in determining the tax income for that year. For details, see Note 10 to the Accountants’ Report in Appendix I. 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 other income of RMB2.3 million, RMB2.9 million, RMB0.2 million, RMB18.0 thousand and RMB2.1 million in 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. For details, see Note 7 to the Accountants’ Report in Appendix I. Any discontinuation, reduction or delay of any government subsidies would have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our insurance may not sufficiently cover, or may not cover at all, any losses or liabilities we may encounter.
We face various operational risks in connection with our operations, including but not limited to, damages to our production equipment stored in third-party warehouse before or during shipment, production interruptions caused by operation errors, power outages or equipment failure, 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 production facilities, personal injury or fatalities, monetary losses and legal liability. In addition, we may also face risk of exposure to claims when our products 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.

RISK FACTORS
We have been and may continue to be affected by any natural disasters, public health and public security hazards, which may severely disrupt our business, financial condition and results of operations.
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. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Acquisitions or strategic investments could be difficult to identify and integrate, divert the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may make acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses or technologies that are complementary to our business. The process of identifying and consummating acquisitions, investments, and the subsequent integration of new assets and businesses into our own 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, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the occurrence of 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 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.

RISKS RELATING TO DOING BUSINESS IN THE COUNTRY WHERE WE OPERATE
Changes in economic, political or social conditions or government policies in China could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We operate our business in the PRC. As a result, our business is affected by economic, political, social and legal developments in the PRC. In general, the PRC government regulates its economy and industries through implementation of industrial policies, and the macroeconomy through fiscal and monetary policies. Any significant changes in the Chinese government’s policies or China’s laws could have a material impact on China’s overall economic growth. Due to the current economic, political, social and regulatory developments, it may be difficult for us to predict all the risks and uncertainties we may face, and a slow-down of China’s economy may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
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 PRC’s NEV industry and new energy electricity system 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 and adversely affect the economic growth in China. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
New legislations or changes in the PRC policies and regulations regarding the end markets of our products, including the NEV, new energy electricity system and home appliances, may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in the regulatory requirements concerning the end markets of our products, including the NEV, new energy electricity system, and industrial and consumer industries, 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 the NEV market:
-
On June 28, 2012, the State Council approved the Energy-saving and New Energy Automobile Industry Development Plan (2012–2020) (《節能與新能源汽車產業發展規劃 (2012–2020年)》) (國發[2012]22號), granting supports and subsidies to NEVs and hybrid vehicles.
-
On July 14, 2014, the General Office of the State Council issued the Guiding Opinion of the General Office of the State Council on Accelerating the Popularization and Application of New Energy Vehicles (《國務院辦公廳關於加快新能源汽車推廣應用的指導意見》) (國辦 發[2014]35號) to grant further tax incentives and exemptions for NEVs.
-
On March 13, 2015, the Ministry of Communications issued the Opinions on Accelerating the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles in the Transportation Industry (《關 於加快推進新能源汽車在交通運輸行業推廣應用的實施意見》) (交運發[2015]34號).

-
A preferential vehicle licensing system has also been introduced in several cities in the PRC to further encourage the purchases of NEVs. On October 20, 2020, the State Council issued the Development Plan for New Energy Automobile Industry (2021–2035) (《新能源汽車 產業發展規劃(2021–2035年)》(國辦發[2020]39號)), proposing to achieve the large-scale application of highly autonomous vehicles through a 15-year program.
-
On May 14, 2022, the General Office of the State Council issued the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Forwarding the Implementing Plan for Promoting the High-quality Development of New Energy in the New Era Promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration (《國務院辦 公廳轉發國家發展改革委國家能源局<關於促進新時代新能源高品質發展實施方案>的通 知》) (國辦函[2022]39號), proposing to accelerate the establishment of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system.
In addition, in the context of the national goal of becoming carbon neutral, the renewable energy storage market in China has welcomed a series of favorable policies. For instance, Action Plan for Carbon Dioxide Peaking Before 2030, issued by the State Council in 2021, unveiled a series of action plans to accelerate energy storage development.
However, there is no assurance that these policies will not change or be concluded in the future, in which case the end markets of our products may be adversely affected, Any new legislation or policies or changes in the current regulations or policies regarding our end markets could have a material and adverse effect on our end customers, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Filing with the CSRC may be 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. See “Regulatory Overview—Laws and Regulations on Overseas Offering and Listing.”
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.

RISK FACTORS
The PRC government’s control over foreign currency conversion may adversely affect our business, results of operations and our ability to remit dividends.
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. For example, we convert RMB into foreign currency to purchase electrical grade polypropylene, the key raw material of capacitor base films. If we face insufficient foreign exchange availability, we may not be able to procure sufficient electrical grade polypropylene for our production, and our daily business operations may be disrupted. 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 SAFE or registration with the SAFE or authorized banks. The Chinese government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currency for current account transactions. 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 the value of the Renminbi may have an adverse effect on our financial results, and impact dividend payments, if any, to our Shareholders.
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. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, we recognized net foreign exchange loss of nil, RMB0.7 million, RMB0.8 million, RMB0.5 million and RMB0.9 million, respectively.
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.
Non-PRC resident individual holders of H Shares whose names appear on the register of members of H Shares (“ Non-PRC Resident Individual Holders ”) are subject to the PRC individual income tax on dividends received from us.
Pursuant to the Circular on Questions Concerning the Collection of Individual Income Tax Following the Repeal of Guo Shui Fa [1993] No. 045 (Guo Shui Han [2011] No. 348) (《關於國稅發 [1993]045號文件廢止後有關個人所得稅徵管問題的通知》) (國稅函[2011]348號) dated June 28, 2011 and issued by the STA, the tax rate applicable to dividends paid to Non-PRC Resident Individual Holders of H Shares varies from 5.0% to 20.0%, depending on whether there is any applicable tax treaty between the PRC and the jurisdiction in which the Non-PRC Resident Individual Holder of H Shares resides, as well as the tax arrangement between the PRC and Hong Kong. Non-PRC Resident Individual Holders who reside in jurisdictions that have not entered into tax treaties with the PRC are subject to a 20.0% withholding tax on dividends received from us. In addition, 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, Non-PRC Resident Individual Holders of H Shares are subject to individual income tax at a rate of 20.0% on gains realized upon the sale or other disposition of H Shares. However, pursuant to the Circular Declaring that Individual Income Tax Continues to be Exempted over Income of Individuals from Transfer of Shares (《關於個 人轉讓股票所得繼續暫免徵收個人所得稅的通知》) issued by the MOF and the STA on March 30, 1998, gains of individuals derived from the transfer of listed shares of enterprises may be exempt from individual income tax.
Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC (《中華人民共和國企業所得稅法》) (“ EIT Law ”) and its implementation regulations, a non-PRC resident enterprise is generally subject to enterprise income tax at a rate of 10.0% with respect to its PRC-sourced income, including dividends received from a PRC company and gains derived from the disposition of equity interests in a PRC company. This rate may be reduced under any special arrangement or applicable treaty between the PRC and the jurisdiction in which the non-PRC resident enterprise resides.
Pursuant to the Circular on Questions Concerning Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax for Dividends Distributed by Resident Enterprises in China to Non-resident Enterprises Holding H-shares of the Enterprises (Guo Shui Han [2008] No. 897) (《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》(國稅函[2008]897號)) promulgated by the STA on November 6, 2008, we intend to withhold tax at 10.0% from dividends payable to non-PRC resident enterprise holders of H Shares (including [REDACTED] ). Non-PRC resident enterprises that are entitled to be taxed at a reduced rate under an applicable income tax treaty or arrangement will be required to apply to the PRC tax authorities for a refund of any amount withheld in excess of the applicable treaty rate, and payment of such refund will be subject to the PRC tax authorities’ approval.
Considering the above, non-PRC resident holders of our H Shares should be aware that they may be obliged to pay PRC income tax on the dividends and gains realized through sales or transfers by other means of the H Shares.

RISK FACTORS
Changes in, as well as the interpretation and implementation of the relevant laws, rules and regulations, may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our operations are subject to PRC tax laws and regulations. As a company incorporated in China, we are subject to PRC tax laws and regulations. We cannot assure you that we are able to fully comply with such laws and regulations. Any violation of such laws and regulations may result in fines, other penalties, actions or proceedings that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Due to our extensive operations in the PRC, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected by economic and legal developments in the PRC. PRC laws, rules and regulations in relation to economic matters are promulgated from time to time, including those related to such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation, finance, foreign exchange and trade, so as to develop a comprehensive system of commercial law. In addition, the interpretation and implementation of the laws and regulations relating to the capacitor film industry also evolve from time to time.
There may be uncertainties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments against us or our Directors, Supervisors and senior management personnel in the PRC.
Each of our Directors and executive officers reside within the PRC, and all of our assets and substantially all of the assets of those persons are 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 most other Western 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 the 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 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 the PRC.

RISK FACTORS
RISKS RELATING TO THE [REDACTED]
No public market currently exists for our H Shares. An active [REDACTED] market for our H Shares may not develop and the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] of our H Shares may be volatile.
Prior to the completion of the [REDACTED] , there has been no public market for our H Shares. There can be no guarantee that an active [REDACTED] 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] , which may not be indicative of the price at which our H Shares will be [REDACTED] following completion of the [REDACTED] . The market price of our H Share may drop below the [REDACTED] at any time after completion of the [REDACTED] .
Holders of our H Shares are subject to the risk that the price of our H Shares could fall during the period before [REDACTED] of our H Shares begins.
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 price 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. Pursuant to the applicable PRC law, within the 12 months following the [REDACTED] , all existing Shareholders (including the Pre- [REDACTED] Investors) could not dispose of any of the Shares held by them. Due to such lock-up requirement, the liquidity and [REDACTED] of the H Shares in the short term following the [REDACTED] may be significantly affected. These factors may significantly affect the market price and volatility of our H Shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.
Our Controlling Shareholders have substantial influence over us and its interests may not be aligned with the interests of our 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 Shareholders will collectively control approximately [REDACTED] % of the voting rights at our general meetings. Our Controlling Shareholders 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 Shareholders may not act in the best interests of our minority Shareholders. This concentration

RISK FACTORS
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 price of our H Shares.
Future sales or perceived sales or conversion of significant amounts of our H Shares in the public market following the [REDACTED] could materially and adversely affect the price of our H Shares.
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 public market, 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 issue 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.
You will incur immediate and significant dilution and may experience further dilution if we issue additional Shares or equity securities in the future.
The [REDACTED] of the [REDACTED] is higher than the net tangible asset value per H Share immediately prior to the [REDACTED] . Therefore, purchasers of the [REDACTED] in the [REDACTED] will experience an immediate dilution in [REDACTED] consolidated net tangible asset value. There can be no assurance that if we were to immediately liquidate after the [REDACTED] , any assets will be distributed to Shareholders after the creditors’ claims. To expand our business, we may consider offering and issuing additional Shares in the future. Purchaser of the [REDACTED] may experience dilution in the net tangible asset value per Share of their Shares if we issue additional Shares in the future at a price which is lower than the net tangible asset value per Share at that time.
We have no experience operating as a public company, and we may incur increased costs as a result of becoming a [REDACTED] company.
We have no experience conducting our operations as a [REDACTED] company. After we become a [REDACTED] company, we may face enhanced administrative and compliance requirements, which may incur substantial additional expenses. Compliance with these rules and regulations may increase our accounting, legal and financial compliance costs and to make certain corporate activities more timeconsuming and costly. Our management may be required to devote substantial time and attention to our public reporting obligations and other compliance matters. We will evaluate and monitor developments with respect to these rules and regulations, but we may not be able to predict or estimate the amount of additional expenses we may incur and the timing of such expenses. Our reporting and other compliance obligations as a [REDACTED] company may require significant management, operational and financial resources and burden the relevant systems for the foreseeable future.

RISK FACTORS
In addition, since we are becoming a [REDACTED] company, our management team will need to develop the expertise necessary to comply with the numerous regulatory and other requirements applicable to [REDACTED] companies, including requirements relating to corporate governance, [REDACTED] standards and securities and investor relationships issues. Our management will need to evaluate our internal controls system with new thresholds of materiality, and to implement necessary changes to our internal controls system. As a result, if we fail to comply with additional requirements in a timely and cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We cannot assure you that we will declare and distribute any amount of dividends in the future.
While dividends may be paid out of distributable profits under our Articles of Association, no dividends were distributed during the Track Record Period. We protect our Shareholders’ interest by ensuring a consistent dividend policy. However, 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 PRC GAAP 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” for further details of our dividend policy. Moreover, our subsidiaries in China may not have distributable profit as determined under the PRC GAAP. Accordingly, we may not receive sufficient distributions from our subsidiaries for us to pay dividends. Failure by our subsidiaries to pay us dividends could adversely impact our ability to make dividend distributions to our shareholders and our cash flow, including periods in which we are profitable.

WAIVERS FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE LISTING RULES
In preparation of the [REDACTED] , our Company has sought the following waivers from strict compliance with the relevant provisions of the Listing Rules:
WAIVER IN RELATION TO MANAGEMENT PRESENCE IN HONG KONG
Pursuant to Rules 8.12 and 19A.15 of the Listing Rules, our Company must have sufficient management presence in Hong Kong. This normally means that at least two of the executive Directors must be ordinarily resident in Hong Kong.
Our Group’s business operations and assets are primarily located in the PRC. None of our executive Directors is a Hong Kong permanent resident or is ordinarily based in Hong Kong. As a result, our Company does not, and will not, in the foreseeable future, have sufficient management presence in Hong Kong as required under Rules 8.12 and 19A.15 of the Listing Rules. Furthermore, it would be impractical and commercially unnecessary for our Company to appoint additional executive Directors who are ordinarily resident in Hong Kong or to relocate the existing PRC based executive Directors to Hong Kong.
Accordingly, our Company has applied for, and the Stock Exchange [has granted], a waiver from strict compliance with the requirements under Rules 8.12 and 19A.15 of the Listing Rules, provided that our Company implements the following arrangements, which are in line with the conditions set out in Chapter 3.10 of the Guide:
-
(i) our Company has appointed Mr. Song Wenlan (宋文蘭), an executive Director and chairman of the Board, and Ms. Tam Pak Yu, Vivien (譚栢如) (“ Ms. Tam ”), one of the joint company secretaries of our Company, as the authorized representatives of our Company (the “ Authorized Representatives ”) pursuant to Rule 3.05 of the Listing Rules. The Authorized Representatives will serve as our Company’s principal channel of communication with the Stock Exchange. The Authorized Representatives can be readily contactable by phone and email to promptly deal with enquiries from the Stock Exchange and will also be available to meet with the Stock Exchange to discuss any matters within a reasonable time frame upon the request of the Stock Exchange. The contact details of the Authorized Representatives have been provided to the Stock Exchange;
-
(ii) each of the Authorized Representatives has means to contact all members of the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) promptly at all times as and when the Stock Exchange wishes to contact the Directors for any matters. Each Director has provided, where available, his or her respective office phone numbers, mobile phone numbers, email addresses and fax numbers to the Authorized Representatives and the Stock Exchange;
-
(iii) our Directors, who are not ordinarily resident in Hong Kong, possess or can apply for valid travel documents to visit Hong Kong and are able to meet with the Stock Exchange within a reasonable period upon the request of the Stock Exchange;

WAIVERS FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE LISTING RULES
-
(iv) our Company has appointed Changjiang Corporate Finance (HK) Limited as our Compliance Advisor in compliance with Rule 3A.19 of the Listing Rules. Our Company’s Compliance Advisor will act as our Company’s additional and alternative channel of communication with the Stock Exchange during the period from the [REDACTED] to the date on which our Company complies with Rule 13.46 of the Listing Rules in respect of our financial results for the first full financial year immediately after the [REDACTED] , and its representatives will be readily available to answer enquiries from the Stock Exchange; and
-
(v) meetings between the Stock Exchange and our Directors can be arranged through the Authorized Representatives or our Compliance Advisor or directly with our Directors within a reasonable period. Our Company will inform the Stock Exchange promptly in respect of any changes in the Authorized Representatives and our Compliance Advisor in accordance with the Listing Rules.
WAIVER IN RELATION TO JOINT COMPANY SECRETARIES
Pursuant to Rules 3.28 and 8.17 of the Listing Rules, our Company must appoint a company secretary who possesses the necessary academic or professional qualifications or relevant experience and is therefore capable to discharge the functions of the company secretary.
Note 1 to Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules provides that the Stock Exchange considers the following academic or professional qualifications to be acceptable:
-
(a) a member of The Hong Kong Chartered Governance Institute;
-
(b) a solicitor or barrister (as defined in the Legal Practitioners Ordinance (Chapter 159 of the Laws of Hong Kong)); and
-
(c) a certified public accountant (as defined in the Professional Accountants Ordinance (Chapter 50 of the Laws of Hong Kong)).
Note 2 to Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules provides that in assessing “relevant experience”, the Stock Exchange will consider the individual’s:
-
(a) length of employment with the issuer and other issuers and the roles he/she played;
-
(b) familiarity with the Listing Rules and other relevant law and regulations including the Securities and Futures Ordinance, Companies Ordinance, Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance and the Takeovers Code;
-
(c) relevant training taken and/or to be taken in addition to the minimum requirement under Rule 3.29 of the Listing Rules; and

WAIVERS FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE LISTING RULES
- (d) professional qualifications in other jurisdictions.
Pursuant to Chapter 3.10 of the Guide, the waiver under Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules will be granted for a fixed period of time but in any event not exceeding three years from the date of listing and on the following conditions:
-
(a) the relevant company secretary must be assisted by a person who possesses the qualifications or experience as required under Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules and is appointed as joint company secretary throughout the waiver period; and
-
(b) the waiver can be revoked in the event of a material breach of the Listing Rules by the Company.
Our Company has appointed Mr. Sheng Zhixuan (盛智宣) (“ Mr. Sheng ”) and Ms. Tam, as the joint company secretaries of our Company to jointly discharge the duties and responsibilities of company secretary of our Company with reference to their work experience and qualifications. Mr. Sheng is currently an executive Director, secretary of the Board and chief financial officer of our Group. He joined the Company in January 2023. Please refer to “Directors, Supervisors and Senior Management— Directors” in this document for further biographical details of Mr. Sheng. Although Mr. Sheng does not possess the qualifications set out in Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules, our Company has appointed him as one of the joint company secretaries of our Company taking into account his experience in corporate governance matters, investment and financing related matters, information disclosure, investor relationship and corporate secretarial affairs. Our Company considers that apart from being able to meet the professional qualification or the relevant experience requirements under the Listing Rules, our company secretary also needs to have (i) experience relevant to our Company’s operations; (ii) nexus to the Board; and (iii) close working relationship with the management of our Company, in order to perform the functions of a company secretary and to take the necessary actions in the most effective and efficient manner. It is for the benefit of our Company to appoint a person who has been a board secretary and is familiar with our Company’s business and affairs as a company secretary. Ms. Tam has been appointed as the other joint company secretary of our Company with effect from the [REDACTED] to assist Mr. Sheng in discharging the duties of a company secretary of our Company. Ms. Tam is an associate member of both The Hong Kong Chartered Governance Institute and The Chartered Governance Institute of the United Kingdom and is therefore qualified under Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules to act as a joint company secretary of the Company. For further biographical details of Ms. Tam, see “Directors, Supervisors and Senior Management—Joint Company Secretaries” in this document. Furthermore, given that the primary business operations of our Group are located in the PRC, we believe that it would be in the best interests of our Company and our corporate governance to have Mr. Sheng, who possesses the relevant background and experience in the PRC, to act as our joint company secretary.

WAIVERS FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE LISTING RULES
Accordingly, whilst Mr. Sheng does not possess the qualifications required of a company secretary under Rules 3.28 and 8.17 of the Listing Rules, based on the above reasons, we have applied to the Stock Exchange for, and the Stock Exchange [has granted], a waiver from strict compliance with the requirements under Rules 3.28 and 8.17 of the Listing Rules for a three-year period from the [REDACTED] on the conditions that: (a) Mr. Sheng will be assisted by Ms. Tam, as a joint company secretary of our Company who possesses the qualifications or experience as required under Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules, throughout the waiver period of three years from the [REDACTED] ; and (b) the waiver will be revoked if there are material breaches of the Listing Rules by our Company. Further, Mr. Sheng will comply with the annual professional training requirement under Rule 3.29 of the Listing Rules and will enhance his knowledge of, among others, the Listing Rules during the waiver period from the [REDACTED] . Our Company will further ensure that Mr. Sheng has access to the relevant training and support that would enhance his understanding of the Listing Rules and the duties of a company secretary of an issuer [REDACTED] on the Stock Exchange.
Prior to the expiry of the initial three-year period, our Company will re-evaluate the qualifications and experiences of Mr. Sheng and liaise with the Stock Exchange to revisit the situation in the expectation that we should then be able to demonstrate to the Stock Exchange’s satisfaction that Mr. Sheng, having had the benefit of Ms. Tam’s assistance for three years, would then have acquired the relevant experience within the meaning of Note 2 to Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules such that a further waiver would not be necessary.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW OF THE GLOBAL AND CHINA’S CAPACITOR FILM INDUSTRY
Overview
Major global economies have established clear targets in laws or policy documents to achieve carbon neutrality or net-zero emissions by around 2050. Carbon neutrality and net-zero targets are poised to significantly reshape the global energy supply by accelerating the transition from fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, to renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Resultingly, electricity will play an increasingly important role in global energy. The electrification process will continuously stimulate the demand of NEV and new energy electricity system, as well as electronic systems for industrial and household uses.
Capacitors are electronic components that store electrical energy by accumulating electric charges on two closely spaced surfaces that are insulated from each other. Capacitors are critical for NEV, new energy electricity system, industrial equipment, home appliances due to their ability to stabilize and enhance the performance of these systems. Capacitors serve multiple functions such as energy storage, filtering and smoothing, signal coupling and decoupling, resonance and frequency tuning, power factor correction, and pulse power applications, making them indispensable components in electrical product. Capacitors can be further categorized into ceramic capacitors, aluminium electrolytic capacitors and film capacitors.
Film capacitors are capacitors with a plastic film as the dielectric. The dielectric films are stretched to a thin thickness and then coated with metallized aluminium or zinc, or a metallic foil. These conductive layers are wound into a cylinder or stacked in layers to form the capacitor body, often flattened to save space on printed circuit boards. Film capacitors are gaining market share, rising from 8.4% in 2019 to 14.3% in 2024, due to their outstanding voltage resistance, high-frequency stability, and long lifespan. Among different types of capacitors, film capacitors stand out for their comprehensive performance advantages, driving wider adoption in high-demand applications such as new energy and industrial systems. In contrast, ceramic and aluminium electrolytic capacitors serve niche roles constrained by tradeoffs in durability, frequency stability, or voltage endurance.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Capacitor films can be primarily categorized into four types based on the polymer material used: polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). Among the film capacitors made with different film materials, PP film capacitors stand out for their excellent frequency stability, low dielectric absorption, and high voltage resistance, making them ideal for high-frequency and high-power applications. Although PPS film exhibits comparable performance to PP film in technical parameters, its adoption within the capacitor film category remains limited. This is primarily due to its significantly higher raw material cost and narrower processing window, which lead to higher manufacturing costs and greater production complexity. In contrast, PP film offers an optimal balance of performance and cost-effectiveness, making it more suitable for large-scale industrial application. Currently, PP capacitor film stands as the most predominant type within the capacitor film category, accounting for over 90% of the market share.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
-
Capacitor base films : Capacitor base films determine the performance of the film capacitors. They serve as the dielectric of film capacitors. Capacitor base films primarily (i) assist film capacitors in achieving rapid energy storage and (ii) enable stable operation of the capacitors. The capacitor base films separate the capacitors’ electrodes to form an electric field, thus allowing the capacitors to store electrical energy. By maintaining high insulation resistance, the films help minimize current leakage, thus helping reserve the energy stored within the capacitors and ensure long-term stability. By providing high dielectric strength and thermal stability, the capacitor base films enable the capacitors to endure high voltage and high temperature without affecting their performance, thus maintaining stable operation. The properties of base films, primarily including their voltage endurance, thermal shrinkage resistance, uniformity, surface roughness and tensile strength, are essential to the functionality of the films and determine the performance of capacitors.
-
Metallized films : Metallized films are made by coating an ultra-thin metallized layer, typically aluminum and zinc, onto one side of the surface of capacitor base films. The metallized layer acts as electrodes of film capacitors. Furthermore, the metal coating process strengthens the insulation resistance capability of the films. If the capacitor base films are damaged by high voltage or due to other reasons, the metallized layer will undergo immediate oxidation, allowing the films to restore insulation resistance without significant performance degradation.
In the capacitor film industry, the market size of capacitor base film is widely used to represent the market size of capacitor film products. It is because most of the products from capacitor film manufacturers are delivered in the form of capacitor base films. The metallization of capacitor base films is typically performed by capacitor manufacturers, primarily because it allows for better integration into their specific production processes. However, film capacitor manufacturers may procure metallized films from external suppliers, primarily because film capacitor manufacturers may face limitations in their production capacity of metallized films from time to time. In such cases, capacitor film manufacturers with production capabilities for metallized films gain a competitive advantage, as they can flexibly meet downstream demand, further utilize production capacity and offer integrated solutions to enhance market competitiveness.
Value Chain
The value chain of the global capacitor film industry consists of upstream raw material and equipment supply, midstream film manufacturing, downstream film processing and capacitor manufacturing, and end-use applications.The vertical integration by new energy vehicle manufacturers such as BYD into the production of film capacitors reflects an emerging trend in the upstream integration of the NEV supply chain. However, this trend has not yet substantively extended to the production of capacitor base films, which involves high technical barriers, significant capital expenditure, and specialized know-how. As such, leading NEV manufacturers including BYD currently still rely primarily on external sourcing for capacitor base films. Accordingly, such trend is not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s business operations in the foreseeable future.

Unless otherwise provided by the competent financial and taxation authorities under the State Council, all the interest, dividend and bonus are deemed as derived from the PRC whether the payment place is in the PRC.

If the accumulated amount of the statutory reserve fund reaches 50% of the registered capital, the Company is released from the obligation of withholding statutory reserve fund. Where the statutory common reserve fund of the company is not sufficient to recover its losses in the previous years, the profits of the current year shall be used to make up the loss before the withdrawal of the statutory common reserve fund in accordance with the above provisions.

The company shall not distribute any profits in respect of the shares held by it.
In accordance with the EIT Law and its implementation rules, a uniform enterprise income tax rate of 25% is imposed on all resident enterprises in China, including foreign-invested enterprises; a nonresident enterprise is generally subject to enterprise income tax at a rate of 10% on PRC-sourced income (including dividends received from a PRC resident enterprise that issues shares in Hong Kong), if it does not have an establishment or premise in the PRC or has an establishment or premise in the PRC but its PRC-sourced income has no real connection with such establishment or premise. The aforesaid income tax payable for non-resident enterprises is deducted at source, where the payer of the income is required to withhold the income tax from the amount to be paid to the non-resident enterprise when such payment is made or due.
The Circular on Issues relating to the Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax by PRC Resident Enterprises on Dividends Paid to Overseas Non-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》), which was issued by the STA on November 6, 2008, further clarifies that a PRC-resident enterprise must withhold enterprise income tax at a rate of 10% on the dividends distributed to overseas non-resident enterprise shareholders of H Shares in 2008 and any subsequent year. In addition, the Response to Questions on Levying Enterprise Income Tax on Dividends Derived by Non-resident Enterprise from Holding Stock such as B Shares (《國家稅務總局關於非居民企業取得B股等股票股息徵收企業所得稅問題的批覆》), which was issued by the STA on July 24, 2009, further provides that any PRC-resident enterprise whose shares are listed on overseas stock exchanges must withhold and remit enterprise income tax at a rate of 10% on dividends distributed to overseas non-resident enterprise shareholders of H Shares in 2008 and any subsequent year.

If a Hong Kong resident directly holds 25% or more of the equity interest in a Chinese company, then such tax shall not exceed 5% of the total dividends payable by the Chinese company. The Fifth Protocol of the Arrangement between the Mainland of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion (《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), which came in to effect on December 6, 2019, added a criterion for the qualification of entitlement to enjoy treaty benefits.

Non-PRC resident enterprises entitled to preferential tax rates in accordance with the relevant taxation treaties or arrangements are required to apply to the PRC tax authorities for a refund of the enterprise income tax in excess of the agreed tax rate, and the refund application is subject to approval by the PRC tax authorities.
Taxation on Share Transfer

REGULATORY OVERVIEW
As of the Latest Practicable Date, no aforesaid provisions had expressly provided whether individual income tax shall be levied from non-PRC resident individuals on the transfer of shares in PRC resident enterprises listed on overseas stock exchanges. To the knowledge of the Company, in practice, the PRC tax authorities have not levied income tax from non-PRC resident individuals on gains from the transfer of PRC resident enterprises listed on overseas stock exchange. However, there is no assurance that the PRC tax authorities will not change these practices which could result in levying income tax on nonPRC resident individuals on gains from the sale of H shares.
Enterprise investors
In accordance with the EIT Law and its implementation rules, a non-resident enterprise is generally subject to enterprise income tax at the rate of a 10% on PRC-sourced income, including gains derived from the disposal of equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise, if it does not have an establishment or premise in the PRC or has an establishment or premise in the PRC but its PRC-sourced income has no real connection with such establishment or premise. Such income tax payable for non-resident enterprises is deducted at source, where the payer of the income is required to withhold the income tax from the amount to be paid to the non-resident enterprise when such payment is made or due. Such tax may be reduced or exempted pursuant to relevant tax treaties or agreements on avoidance of double taxation.
Stamp Duty
Pursuant to the Stamp Duty Law of the PRC (《中華人民共和國印花稅法》) issued by the SCNPC on June 10, 2021 and implemented on July 1, 2022, the PRC stamp duty applies to entities and individuals that conclude taxable documents and conduct securities transactions within the PRC and the entities and individuals that conclude taxable documents outside the PRC which are used within the PRC. Therefore, the requirements of the stamp duty imposed on the transfer of shares of PRC-listed companies does not apply to the acquisition and disposal of H shares outside the PRC by non-PRC investors.
Estate Duty
The PRC currently does not impose any estate duty.
EIT
According to the EIT Law, which was promulgated on March 16, 2007 and amended from time to time, together with its implementation rules, enterprises are classified into resident enterprises and nonresident enterprises. Enterprises, which are incorporated in the PRC or incorporated pursuant to the foreign laws with their “de facto management bodies” located in the PRC, are deemed as “resident enterprise” and subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on their global income.

HISTORY, DEVELOPMENT AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE
Capital Increase, Equity Transfer and Acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei in October 2022
On October 28, 2022, our Company entered into a capital increase agreement with Mr. Song Junqing, pursuant to which Mr. Song Junqing subscribed for RMB1,020,000 of our Company’s registered capital at a consideration of RMB10,200,000. The consideration was settled by transferring 51% equity interest Mr. Song Junqing held in Ningguo Haiwei to our Company, and was determined after arm’s length negotiations with reference to the historical financial performance and prospect of our Group and a valuation report of Ningguo Haiwei issued by an independent valuer dated October 15, 2022 in respect of the market value of the total shareholders’ equity of Ningguo Haiwei as of August 31, 2022. The remaining equity interest in Ningguo Haiwei had been held as to 24.5% by Mr. Song Renxiang and 24.5% by Mr. Zhao Youbin since its establishment. Other than being substantial shareholders of Ningguo Haiwei, neither of Mr. Song Renxiang or Mr. Zhao Youbin has any relationship with any of our Company, our Controlling Shareholders, our Directors, Supervisors or senior management. On October 24, 2022, Haiwei Financial was established as a shareholding platform of Mr. Song Wenlan. In recognition of our Company’s development strategy and prospect, on October 28, 2022, Haiwei Financial entered into a debt transfer agreement with Haiwei Petrochemical, pursuant to which Haiwei Petrochemical assigned trade receivables in the amount of RMB264,920,000, originally owed by our Company to Haiwei Petrochemical, to Haiwei Financial, at a consideration of RMB264,920,000. The consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations with reference to the valuation report on the appraised value of the trade receivables from our Company as at October 28, 2022 complied by China United Assets Appraisal Group Co., Ltd. (中聯資產評估集團 有限公司). Upon completion of the assignment, the trade receivables in the amount of RMB264,920,000 became payable by our Company to Haiwei Financial.

Haiwei Financial settled the consideration of RMB264,920,000 by offsetting it against an equivalent amount of trade receivables owed to it by our Company. Upon completion of such capital increases and equity transfer, Ningguo Haiwei became a non-wholly owned subsidiary of our Company. As none of the applicable percentage ratios as defined under the Listing Rules in respect of the abovementioned acquisition exceeds 25%, the pre-acquisition financial information of Ningguo Haiwei is not required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 4.05A of the Listing Rules.

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Who We Are
We are the second largest capacitor film manufacturer in China in terms of capacitor base film sales volume in 2024, according to CIC. Our capacitor film products include (i) capacitor base films and (ii) metallized films. These products are key components of film capacitors, a type of capacitor known for its outstanding voltage resistance, high-frequency stability and long lifespan. Film capacitors have a wide range of enduse application scenarios, including (i) NEV, (ii) new energy electricity system, (iii) industrial equipment and (iv) home appliances.
The following diagram illustrates the industrial chain of capacitor films and our role within it:

BUSINESS
We are at the midstream segment of the industrial chain. Our customers primarily include (i) film capacitor manufacturers, and (ii) BYD, a well-known leading NEV company in China, which has started to manufacture its own film capacitors.
The following sets forth the details of our two key products:
-
Capacitor base films. Capacitor base films function as the dielectrics of film capacitors and determine the performance of film capacitors. Capacitor base films are the largest component of our revenue, representing 91.9%, 71.8%, 72.8%, 71.7% and 78.5% of our total revenue in 2022, 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025.
-
Metallized films. Prior to being used in film capacitors, capacitor base films are typically coated with an metal layer on one side of the film, transforming them into metallized films. This metal layer functions as the electrodes of film capacitors. While our customers typically produce metallized films in-house using capacitor base films provided by us, they may procure metallized films from us directly due to the limitation of their production capacity. We began providing metallized films in 2023, primarily to diversify our product portfolio. See “—Our Products—Capacitor Films—Metallized films—Our strategies of providing metallized films.”
Key Drivers for Our Business Growth
We have specialized in the capacitor film industry for over 15 years. Our strategic focus enables us to accurately identify the industry’s development trends, address key pain points and deeply understand customer needs across diverse application scenarios. This allows us to provide customers with more targeted products to capture market opportunities:
- The market of our products is growing. On the demand side, the rapid growth of the NEV and the new energy electricity system industry present significant opportunities for us. With China’s “dual-carbon” goals and the implementation of carbon-neutral measures globally, the industry of NEV and the industry of new energy electricity system are expected to experience a steady and sustainable growth.

Distinctive capability for self-design and development of production lines
The production lines for capacitor base film represent a critical bottleneck for the business expansion of China’s capacitor film manufacturers:
-
Lengthy delivery time. China’s capacitor film manufacturers generally rely on overseas suppliers in Germany and France to import entire production lines for capacitor base films, primarily due to the intricate manufacturing techniques and processes involved in the production of capacitor films. According to CIC, as of December 31, 2024, all other major Chinese manufacturers of capacitor base films relied on imported production lines. For China’s capacitor film manufacturers, the average delivery time for capacitor base films’ production lines is approximately three to five years, according to CIC.
-
High investment cost. The investment cost of production lines for China’s capacitor film manufacturers is generally high, primarily due to the stringent demands for accuracy, stability and reliability of production lines in the capacitor film industries. According to CIC, the investment cost for each imported production line for capacitor base films reaches approximately RMB200.0 million to RMB300.0 million and hence, the depreciation cost of the fixed-asset for Chinese capacitor film manufacturers typically accounts for approximately 15% to 20% of cost of sales.
Our ability to design and develop production lines for capacitor base films is one of our core strengths. According to CIC, among major capacitor film manufacturers in China, we are the only company with the capability to independently design and develop capacitor base films’ production lines. Our ability to design and develop production lines for capacitor base films includes (i) designing critical components of the manufacturing equipment to enhance its performance and effectiveness; and (ii) optimizing the production parameters of core equipment, including size, operation speed and function, to help ensure seamless coordination across each production step, thus enhancing the overall efficiency. As of the Latest Practicable Date, all of our existing five production lines for capacitor base films were independently designed, developed and assembled by us.
The self-design and development of capacitor base films’ production lines have significantly enhanced our competitive advantages. Specifically:
- Shorter delivery time facilitating production capacity expansion. The delivery time for our independently designed and developed production lines is approximately eight months, which is significantly shorter than the industry average for imported production lines, according to CIC. This has substantially accelerated our production capacity expansion and enhanced market responsiveness, positioning us to better capitalize on industry growth opportunities. Moreover, by independently designing and developing our production lines, we have strengthened the autonomy of our manufacturing equipment’s supply chain and enhance the stability and continuity of our production processes.

Our strategic focus on thin base films
During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we prioritized the production of thin base films with thickness ranging from 4.0 μm to 6.9 μm. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, our revenue from thin base films was RMB207.6 million, RMB176.5 million, RMB240.2 million, RMB88.3 million and RMB92.6 million, representing approximately 63.5%, 53.6%, 56.9%, 54.4% and 59.0% of our total revenue from capacitor base films. This focus is primarily driven by the following factors:
-
Stronger market demand. According to CIC, thin base films exhibit stronger market demand compared to ultra-thin and medium-thick base films. This is mainly due to thin base films’ broader range of end-use application scenarios, spanning (i) NEV, (ii) new energy electricity systems, (iii) industrial equipment and (iv) home appliances; and
-
Higher production volume. The production lines for capacitor base films can achieve a higher production volume of thicker films within a given timeframe as compared to ultrathin base films. This is because, given that the production speed of capacitor base films with varying thicknesses is generally equivalent, thicker capacitor base films tend to yield higher production volume in a given timeframe. Consequently, allocating more production capacity to the production of thin base films enables us to achieve higher production volume, compared to allocating capacity to the production of ultra-thin base films.
During the Track Record Period, the positive effect on our revenue generated from such higher production volume of thin base films was greater than the potential effect on revenue if we were to prioritize the production of ultra-thin base films, notwithstanding that the average selling price of thin base films was lower than that of ultra-thin base films.
To capture future market opportunities, we are researching and developing the manufacturing techniques of capacitor base films with relatively thinner thickness, particularly those with thickness below 2.5 µm, as part of our technical reserves. See “—Research and Development” for details. This initiative is in response to the industry trend of capacitor base films becoming thinner, which is driven by the need to further reduce the size of film capacitors, according to CIC.
Our prioritization within ultra-thin base films
While our customers of metallized films mainly demand metallized films manufactured using ultrathin base films with thickness below approximately 3.3 µm, our customers of capacitor base films mainly demand ultra-thin base films with thickness above approximately 3.6 µm.

BUSINESS
We generally prioritize ultrathin base films with thickness above approximately 3.6 µm, primarily because:
-
Within ultra-thin base films, our production lines can achieve a higher production volume of ultra-thin base films with higher thickness within a given timeframe as compared to ultrathin base films with lower thickness. For the reasons for higher production volume of capacitor base films with higher thickness within a given timeframe, see “—Our strategic focus on thin base films.” As such, allocating more production capacity to the production of ultra-thin baes films with thickness above approximately 3.6 µm enables us to achieve higher production volume; and
-
The customer orders of metallized films, in particular those manufactured using ultra-thin base films below approximately 3.3 µm, are relatively scattered and with relatively small volume for each order. Accordingly, allocating more production capacity to the production of ultra-thin base films above approximately 3.6 µm enables us to achieve greater economies of scale.
Features of our capacitor base film products
Our capacitor base film products primarily have the following features:
- Voltage endurance . Our capacitor base film products are manufactured using biaxially oriented electrical grade polypropylene, which typically possesses a dense material structure. Given this nature, our capacitor base film products can endure high voltages. With high voltage endurance, our capacitor base films can effectively disperse electric field stress, mitigating the risk of dielectric breakdown and ensuring reliable performance under highvoltage conditions. In addition, the high voltage endurance of our capacitor base films enhances their insulation resistance, thereby minimizing current leakage. This contributes to efficient energy storage in capacitors while reducing energy loss, ensuring consistent and reliable operation across diverse applications.
According to CIC, the voltage endurance of our capacitor base film products is among major industry players in the industry in China. Specifically, the average voltage endurance of our ultra-thin base films, thin base films and medium-thick base films is approximately 450 V/µm, 500 V/µm and 550 V/µm, respectively. By comparison, the mean voltage endurance of ultrathin base films specified under China’s national industry standard, GB-T 13542.3-2006 (the “ National Industry Standard ”), is approximately 120 V/µm, the mean voltage endurance of thin base films ranges from approximately 150 V/µm to 190 V/µm, and that of medium-thick base films ranges from approximately 230 V/µm to 320 V/µm, according to CIC.

- Thermal shrinkage resistance . Our capacitor base film products demonstrate minimal thermal shrinkage, ensuring dimensional stability under high-temperature operating conditions. This property minimizes deformation, allowing the film to maintain its electrical performance and mechanical strength in demanding environments. Low thermal shrinkage reduces the risk of internal stress caused by temperature fluctuations during manufacturing and operation, supporting consistent performance and enhancing the reliability and lifespan of capacitors.
According to CIC, the thermal shrinkage resistance of our capacitor base film products is above the industry average in China. Specifically, the thermal shrinkage resistance of our capacitor base film products typically reaches a thermal shrinkage resistance of 4.5%, as compared to the industry average of approximately 5.0% in China, according to CIC.
- Surface roughness . Our capacitor base film undergoes the precise biaxial stretching and traction process to optimize surface roughness. Optimal surface roughness helps strengthen adhesion between the film and its metal coating, ensuring a stable and durable bond. Stronger adhesion helps reduce the risk of delamination, blistering or other similar issues during the operation of capacitors, thus enhancing product reliability and durability.
According to CIC, the surface roughness of our capacitor base film products is among major industry players in China. Specifically, the surface roughness of our capacitor base film products typically range from 0.06 µm to 0.12 µm, which is significantly lower than the surface roughness range of 0.2 µm to 0.6 µm specified under the National Industry Standard, according to CIC.
- Tensile strength . Our capacitor base film products exhibit high tensile strength. This enhances the films’ dielectric strength by improving the stability of the films, effectively mitigating the risk of short-circuit failure. Furthermore, it helps capacitors maintain consistent voltage resistance and insulation performance under varying environmental and operating conditions.
According to CIC, the tensile strength of our capacitor base film products is among major industry players in China. Specifically, the average longitudinal tensile strength of our ultra-thin base films, thin base films and medium-thick base films is approximately 160 MPa, 150 MPa and 130 MPa, respectively, while the average transverse tensile strength is approximately 280 MPa, 260 MPa and 240 MPa, respectively. By comparison, the tensile strength in either longitudinal or transverse orientation specified under the National Industry Standard is set at a minimum of 140 MPa, according to CIC.

Metallized films
The following picture illustrates our metallized film products:
==> picture [159 x 113] intentionally omitted <==
We manufacture metallized films by coating a layer of metal, typically aluminum and zinc, onto one side of the capacitor base films. The applications of metallized films are primarily determined by the thickness of their respective capacitor base films. During the Track Record Period, the majority of metallized films we sold were manufactured using ultra-thin base films and thin base films, primarily because our customers for metallized films primarily demand metallized films manufactured using these two categories of capacitor base films.
We mainly manufacture metallized films using thin base films and have engaged a third party, Haowei Electronic, to provide us metallized films manufactured using ultra-thin base films. This is because our production capacity is limited in terms of using ultra-thin base films to manufacture metallized films. See “—Sources of metallized films we sold.” The table below sets forth the revenue and gross profit margin of metallized films manufactured using ultra-thin base films and thin-base films, respectively, for the periods indicated:

The gross profit margin of metallized films manufactured using ultra-thin base films decreased from 20.3% in 2023 to 6.7% in 2024, primarily due to an increase in unit cost of sales which was attributable to an increase in raw material costs. Such increase in raw material costs was primarily due to an increase in our purchase amount of capacitor base films and metallized films for our metallized films business. See “—sources of metallized films we provided.”
The gross profit margin of metallized films manufactured using ultra-thin base films increased from 8.3% in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to 15.9% in the five months ended May 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in our purchase of metallized films from Haowei Electronics. See “Business—Raw Materials and Suppliers—Raw Materials” and “Business—Our Products—Capacitor Films—Metallized films—Sources of metallized films we sold” for details.
Our strategies of providing metallized films
We began to provide metallized films in 2023, following our acquisition of 51% equity interest in Ningguo Haiwei on December 31, 2022, which primarily produces and sells metallized films.
Our customers typically produce metallized films in-house using capacitor base films provided by us. According to CIC, this practice is primarily due to (i) the need of film capacitor manufacturers to ensure the stable supply and quality of metallized films, and (ii) the relatively low investment cost required for the manufacturing equipment used in the production of metallized films.
However, film capacitor manufacturers may procure metallized films from external suppliers, primarily because film capacitor manufacturers may face limitations in their production capacity of metallized films from time to time. As such, film capacitor manufacturers will purchase metallized films from external suppliers to meet demand when their in-house production capacity of metalized films is insufficient.
Leveraging the market demand for metallized films, we have decided to provide metallized films to our customers due to the following reasons:
- To diversify our product portfolio and achieve vertical integration . The provision of metallized films would further diversify our product portfolio, thus helping us attract new customers who seek metallized films. As a result, we can tap into new revenue streams by providing metallized films. The provision of metallized films manufactured using our capacitor base films would also enable us to achieve vertical integration of our business.

-
(i) Metallized films manufactured by us . We prioritize performing the coating process for metallized films ourselves, primarily to (i) ensure the quality of our metallized films, and (ii) utilize our production lines for metallized films. In the five months ended May 31, 2025, among the metallized films we sold, we preformed coating process for 226.2 tons of metallized films ourselves.
-
(ii) Metallized films provided by Haowei Electronic . We engaged a third party, Haowei Electronic, to provide metallized films to us, primarily due to (i) the strong customer demand for our metallized films, and (ii) the need to satisfy certain customers’ demand for metallized films manufactured with ultra-thin base films. In the five months ended May 31, 2025, among the metallized films we sold, 93.6 tons of metallized films were provided by Haowei Electronic.
During the Track Record Period, there were two kinds of metallized films provided by Haowei Electronic, including (i) metallized films for which Haowei Electronic performed coating services on capacitor base films provided by us and (ii) metallized films we purchased from Haowei Electronic.

Other Products
Recycled granules
Recycled granules are produced during the capacitor base film manufacturing process by reclaiming waste films, which are crushed and reintroduced into the production line through extrusion to form polypropylene granules. These recycled particles are primarily used in applications such as packaging and injection molding. Recycled particles are colorless and transparent, they may contain internal bubbles and have a less smooth surface compared to new granules. We utilize a fully automated recycling system to process and package recycled particles, aiming to reduce material waste and promote environmental sustainability.
Electronic anti-theft tag films
Our electronic anti-theft tag films are the specialized film products manufactured with electrical grade polypropylene using proprietary processes, designed for use in the production of electronic antitheft tags. These tags are primarily applied in areas such as supermarkets, logistics and warehousing. Our production line employs a unique process featuring low chill roll temperatures, high draw ratios, and lowspeed operation. This results in films with low surface roughness, high rigidity, and exceptional properties such as easy adhesion and easy winding, significantly facilitating the subsequent production of electronic tags.

Composite copper foil base films
Composite copper foils are a major type of composite current collectors, which are a crucial component in batteries. Composite copper foils are designed to collect the current of the batteries, enabling the stable and efficient output of energy. Composite copper foils have significant advantages in safety, raw material cost and battery energy density. Composite copper foil films consist of a coppercoated composite base film. They utilize advanced material compounding techniques, combining copper foil as the conductive layer with the base films. This design enhances conductivity, mechanical strength, and heat resistance while maintaining excellent flexibility and lightweight characteristics, making it particularly suitable for high-performance electronic devices.
Composite copper foils are poised to become the core technology for the battery anodes and cathodes. According to CIC, while the composite copper foil market is still developing and currently there are few established providers in China and globally, it is expected to grow rapidly in the future. According to CIC, China’s composite copper foil market size was RMB11.09 billion in 2025, and is expected to grow to RMB49.47 in 2029, representing a CAGR of 45.3% from 2025 to 2029.
Our competitive edges in the production and sales of composite copper foil base films primarily include:
-
(i) Our production lines for capacitor base films can manufacture composite copper foil base films with generally equivalent production capacity. Therefore, our advantage in production capacity of capacitor base films would support our expansion of composite copper foil base film business in due course. See “—Our Strengths—Distinctive capability for self-design and development of production lines.”
-
(ii) We benefit from our shareholders who are leading leading companies and renowned investors in the lithium-ion battery industries or other new energy industries, including Chendao Capital LLP (寧波梅山保稅港區晨道投資合夥企業(有限合夥)), BYD and Sungrow Power.

Notes:
(1) Production capacity is based on the total production rate of our launched production lines operating 24 hours a day for 28 days a month. The calculation of production capacity includes production lines which were paused for inspection, and excludes (i) production lines which were suspended for technical upgrades and (ii) newly launched production lines which were undergoing a production ramp-up period. The calculation of production capacity is standardized by converting to the equivalent production volume of 7.0 μm capacitor base films. According to CIC, such calculating method is in line with industry practice. According to CIC, the calculating method is widely adopted in the capacitor film industry in China, primarily because 7.0 μm is recognized as a representative industry benchmark that facilitates standardization, enhances data comparability across different film thicknesses, and supports consistent capacity reporting.

(2) Given that the calculation of our production capacity is standardized by converting to the equivalent production volume of 7.0 μm capacitor base films, our calculation of production volume for utilization rate purpose is also standardized using the same conversion method. This approach ensures consistency in calculating the utilization rate. According to CIC, such conversion of calculating standardized production volume for the purpose of calculating utilization rate is in line with industry practice.
-
(3) Utilization rate equals standardized production volume divided by production capacity.
The fluctuations of our overall utilization rates during the Track Record Period were mainly attributable to the upgrades and expansion of our production lines. Specifically:
Capacitor base films
-
The utilization rate of capacitor base films decreased from 99.8% in 2022 to 88.3% in 2023, primarily due to (i) the relatively lower decrease in production capacity, as compared to (ii) the relatively higher decrease in standardized production volume. Specifically:
-
Our production capacity decreased by 10.6% from 13,800 tons in 2022 to 12,342 tons in 2023, primarily because we suspended the operation of our aging first production line for capacitor base films to carry out technical upgrades from March 2023 to June 2024. The effect on production capacity from the suspension was partially offset by the launch of our fifth production line for capacitor base films which commenced operation in June 2023 and completed its production ramp-up period in August 2023.
-
Our standardized production volume decreased by 20.9% from 13,776 tons in 2022 to 10,901 tons in 2023. Such relatively higher decrease in standardized production volume as compared to the decrease in production capacity, was primarily because, (i) in March 2023, we paused the operation of three production lines for capacitor base films to carry out inspection for approximately 20 days; and (ii) as we suspended the operation of our first production line, we switched more frequently on our production lines between a wide range of film thickness and generated a larger volume of waste films. See “—Features of our production lines for capacitor base films.”
-
The utilization rate of capacitor base films increased from 88.3% in 2023 to 98.8% in 2024, primarily due to (i) the relatively lower increase in production capacity, as compared to (ii) the relatively higher increase in standardized production volume. Specifically:
-
Our production capacity increased by 26.0% from 12,342 tons in 2023 to 15,550 tons in 2024, primarily because (i) we relaunched our first production line for capacitor base films in June 2024 after suspending its operation to carry out technical upgrades from March 2023 to June 2024; and (ii) we launched our fifth production line for capacitor base films which commenced operation in June 2023 and completed its production ramp-up period in August 2023.

Such relatively higher increase in standardized production volume as compared to the increase in the production capacity, was primarily because (i) in March 2023, we suspended three production lines for capacitor base films to carry out inspection for approximately 20 days; and (ii) as we launched our fifth production line in June 2023 and relaunched our first production line in June 2024, we switched less frequently on our production lines between a wide range of film thickness, which led to higher efficiency. See “—Features of our production lines for capacitor base films.”

The utilization rate of capacitor base films increased from 96.2% in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to 98.2% in the five months ended May 31, 2025, primarily due to (i) the relatively lower increase in production capacity, as compared to (ii) the relatively higher increase in standardized production volume. Specifically:
-
Our production capacity increased by 20.3% from 5,750 tons in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to 6,917 tons in the five months ended May 31, 2025, primarily because we relaunched our first production line for capacitor base films in June 2024 after suspending its operation to carry out technical upgrades from March 2023 to June 2024.
-
Our standardized production volume increased by 22.9% from 5,530 tons in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to 6,794 tons in the five months ended May 31, 2025. Such relatively higher increase in standardized production volume as compared to the increase in the production capacity, was primarily because, as we relaunched our first production line in June 2024, we switched less frequently on our production lines between a wide range of film thickness, which led to higher efficiency. See “— Features of our production lines for capacitor base films.”
Metallized films
-
The utilization rate of metallized films increased from 89.9% in 2023 to 95.3% in 2024, primarily due to an increase in standardized production volume as a result of stronger market demand. The utilization rate of metallized films achieved in 2024 was primarily because we added production time on an ad hoc basis beyond the standard 28 days per month to meet production demand.
-
The utilization rate of metallized films decreased from 89.0% in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to 83.1% in the five months ended May 31, 2025, primarily due to (i) the relatively lower decrease in production capacity, as compared to (ii) the relatively higher decrease in standardized production volume.

-
Our production capacity decreased by 20.0% from 525 tons in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to 420 tons in the five months ended May 31, 2025, primarily because we suspended the operation of three of our production lines for metallized films to carry out technical upgrades in March 2025.
-
Our standardized production volume decreased by 25.3% from 467 tons in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to 349 tons in the five months ended May 31, 2025. Such relatively higher decrease in standardized production volume as compared to the decrease in production capacity was primarily because of a decrease in demand for metallized films as film capacitor manufacturers increasingly produced metallized films in-house using capacitor base purchased externally, which was in line with industry trend, according to CIC.
Features of our production lines for capacitor base films
-
Each of our production lines for capacitor base films can produce capacitor base films with any thickness we currently provide, which range from 2.7 μm to 13.8 μm, tailored for the specific requirements for thickness of our customers; and
-
We generally allocate capacitor base films with similar thickness to a single production line. This is primarily because if a production line frequently switches between a wide range of film thickness, it tends to a decrease in our production efficiency.
-
The newly launched production lines for capacitor base films typically undergo a production ramp-up period for two to three months. During this period, the production volume of capacitor base films is relatively low, primarily because (i) the production lines typically generate a relatively large amount of waste films during the production ramp-up period, and (ii) we may suspend the operation of the newly launched production line for a certain period of time to conduct testing and adjustment during the production ramp-up period.
Planned Manufacturing Facilities
Our ability to design and develop production lines for capacitor base films expedites our production expansion. Leveraging our in-house design and development capacity, we plan to further enhance the production capacity of our products by building new production lines.

(2) The calculation of production capacity is standardized by converting to the equivalent production volume of 7.0 μm capacitor base films.

(3) We plan to fund the construction of such production line with our self-owned funds. We expect the capital expenditure of each production line to be approximately RMB120.0 million.
With the addition of new production lines, we expect our annual production capacity of capacitor base films to increase by 16,000 tons by 2027, representing a 34.4% increase from the annualized production capacity of 11,904 tons in 2024.
In addition, given that the manufacturing equipment and process for producing capacitor base films and composite copper foil base films are largely identical, our production lines for capacitor base films are also capable of manufacturing composite copper foil base films with generally equivalent production capacity. As such, we believe our advantage in production capacity of capacitor base films would support the development of our composite copper foil base film business to meet the potential increase in future market demand.

Manufacturing Process
Capacitor base films
Our capacitor base films are manufactured under rigorously controlled environmental conditions within our facilities. Each production line of our capacitor base films primarily involves the following production steps and manufacturing equipment:
| Major production steps 1_Raw material_ feeding 2_Extrusion and_ casting 3_Biaxial stretching_ 4_Traction_ |
Details The feeding process absorbs the raw materials and transfers them by vacuum suction to the extruder for further processing. This process ensures a consistent supply of high-purity raw materials by removing metal contaminants therein. The raw materials are melted, metered and filtered before being extruded onto a chill roll, where the raw materials will be cast in sheets with uniform thickness. This process ensures precise thickness control, providing the basis for the base film’s dielectric properties. The cast sheets of raw materials are stretched in the longitudinal and transverse directions under controlled conditions to refine their dimensions. This process enhances the base films’ tensile strength, dimensional stability and dielectric properties, making them suitable for high- performance applications. The stretched films pass through a thickness gauge which meters and adjusts the thickness of the base films. Subsequently, the films undergo corona treatment to enhance the adhesion of the metallized layer. This process primarily further ensures the precise control of film thickness and prepare them for metallized coating. |

Details The films are carefully wound onto rolls using the automated winding system. They undergo a thorough inspection process to ensure quality and consistency and then left to remain under controlled conditions. This process ensures that the films are tightly wound and stabilized, enhancing their mechanical and electrical properties while ensuring consistency and reliability. The films are passed through the slitting machine, where they are precisely cut to the required widths. This process ensures consistent dimensions for each roll while minimizing waste. The slit films undergo comprehensive quality tests, including thickness, voltage endurance, and surface roughness, to verify their performance. Graded films are then packaged, wrapped and prepared for shipment to customers. |

Metallized films
Our metallized films are produced on coating machines with strictly controlled temperatures. We place the capacitor base films in a vacuum chamber for production process. Metals such as aluminum and zinc are vaporized and evenly deposited onto the surface of the capacitor base films. The following diagram illustrates the key production steps and manufacturing equipment for our metallized films.

Self-design and Development of Production Lines
Our ability to design and develop production lines for capacitor base films is one of our core strengths. We began our effort to design and develop production lines for capacitor base films in 2010. As of the Latest Practicable Date, all of our existing five production lines for capacitor base films were independently designed, developed and assembled by us, and substantially all of the manufacturing equipment on these production lines was procured from domestic suppliers.
Our ability to design and develop production lines for capacitor base films primarily includes (i) designing critical components of the manufacturing equipment to enhance its performance and effectiveness; and (ii) optimizing the production parameters of core equipment, including size, operation speed and function, to help ensure seamless coordination across each production step, thus enhancing the overall efficiency.

Once we complete the design and development of our production lines for capacitor base films, we engage third-party manufacturers to build the manufacturing equipment based on our design. We provide the manufacturing parameters, manufacturing process requirements and project timetable to the manufacturers, and specify to the manufacturers our quality and technical standards as well as acceptance standards to ensure that the equipment meets our production requirements. Once receiving the manufacturing equipment, we will carry out assembly to form complete production lines.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We focus on developing innovative technologies to (i) design and develop our production line and (ii) improve the quality of our products. We believe that our success has depended and will continue to depend to a large extent on our ability to design and develop our production line and improve our products.
We are actively researching and developing products, including ultra-thin base films and composite copper foil base films. For ultra-thin base films, our R&D focuses on ultra-thin capacitor base films with thickness below 2.5 μm, which are widely applied in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, aerospace, and industrial systems. For example,we have upgraded the pull roll stand used in the traction process to minimize the risk of film breakage and ensure stable production operations. We have also implemented environmental temperature control measures in the biaxial stretching process, which help improve the tensile strength and overall performance of such ultra-thin capacitor base films. In addition, through a joint R&D program with an A-share listed company specialized in the research, development and production of composite current collectors, we have improved the properties of our composite copper foil base film products, to better adopted into lithium-ion batteries, flexible electronics, high-frequency/ high-speed circuits, printed circuit boards, aerospace, medical electronics, and energy industries. These improvements include enhancing their thermal shrinkage resistance and voltage endurance, enabling the films to operate efficiently in high-temperature and high-voltage environments. In addition, we have implemented an asynchronous stretching process during the manufacturing process, ensuring the consistency and precision of the product’s thickness.
By leveraging our achievements on intellectual property, we are able to further improve material efficiency, the scrap rate and rework requirements during production were relatively reduced, leading to a higher yield ratio, and achieve high speed production through process optimization and automation. By optimizing product parameters, the performance of capacitor films and metalized films have been significantly improved, including (i) the average dielectric strength has been improved by 20v/μm, which could withstand higher operating voltages, increase energy storage density, reduce dielectric losses, and enhance the reliability and stability of equipment. Additionally, it helps reduce the size and weight of capacitors, expands application scenarios, improves aging resistance, and simplifies circuit design; (ii) the longitudinal thermal shrinkage rate has been reduced by 1%, and the longitudinal thermal shrinkage rate is below 3%, which could enhance dimensional stability to minimize deformation and cracking risks, improve reliability in use, and extend the temperature range for applications; (iii) the longitudinal tensile strength exceeds 210 MPa, while the transverse tensile strength exceeds 300 MPa, such improvements help us significantly improve processing performance, minimize the risk of deformation or rupture during stretching, winding, and other critical operations. Its enhanced structural stability enables it to withstand greater mechanical stress, thereby extending product lifespan in complex and demanding environments,

to a broader range of applications; and (iv) our capacitor films and metallized films exhibit excellent thickness uniformity, with an average deviation of less than ± 2%. Such improvements allow us to improve consistency in electrical performance to reduce the risk of partial discharge caused by thickness variations, facilitates production control, and supports operation under higher voltages.
Our product development process adheres to our internal standards. It begins with gathering primary customer feedback from our sales managers, followed by a thorough requirement analysis. The product development tasks are then distributed among our R&D team. During the development phase, our R&D team conducts preliminary tests of the quality of the new products. Post-development, we perform standard tests in accordance with the National Industry Standard. Once testing is completed, the product and the corresponding standard operating procedures files are transferred to the production lines for manufacturing.
As of May 31, 2025, we had an in-house R&D team of 22 members. The core members of our R&D team have an average of over ten years of experience in capacitor film technology development. See “Statutory and General Information—B. Further Information about our Business—2. Intellectual Property Rights” in Appendix IV to this document for details of our intellectual property portfolio. In addition, we operate a provincially recognized R&D platform in Hebei Province, China, which focuses on manufacturing techniques related to ultra-thin base films.
In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, our R&D expenses were RMB11.2 million, RMB14.4 million, RMB16.8 million, RMB5.1 million and RMB7.3 million, respectively. See “Financial Information—Review of Historical Results of Operations—Research and Development Expenses” for details.

Our Quality Accreditations and Assurance
Our commitment to high quality and reliability helps strengthen the recognition and trust among our customers. Our film products comply with GB/T 13542.3-2006. We have obtained multiple certifications primarily including:
-
IATF16949 certification for our quality management system certified by Shanghai NQA Certification Co., Ltd.;
-
GB/T 19001-2016/ISO 9001:2015 for our quality management system certificated by Xingyuan Certification Center Co., Ltd.; and
-
GB/T 24001-2016/ISO 14001:2015 for our environmental management system certificated by Xingyuan Certification Center Co., Ltd..
In order to monitor production quality and to ensure that our products meet all the stringent benchmarks and specifications of our customers and ourselves, we take a comprehensive approach to quality control, establishing a quality management system that complies with relevant national and international standards, covering procurement, production, finished products and logistics.
Quality control in procurement
We procure raw materials from suppliers who have passed quality and reliability assessments and meet both our standards and those of our customers. We occasionally conduct onsite inspections of our suppliers’ raw material facilities and make regular evaluations on our suppliers. Upon receiving the raw materials, we perform sample testing on raw materials. Our quality control system is designed to identify and address any defective or substandard materials at an early stage in the production process. For more details, see “—Raw Materials and Suppliers.”
Quality control in production
We adhere to our internal customer quality specification standards and relevant industry standards in our production process. Our quality control team conducts inspections of our capacitor film products at key control points.
We implement a comprehensive quality control process to ensure the reliability and performance of our capacitor film products. This process includes rigorous inspections and industry-standard testing methods:

BUSINESS
Voltage endurance testing
Our capacitor base films undergo thorough voltage endurance testing using two methods:
-
Electrode plate method. We place the capacitor base films onto an electrode plate, a conductive surface used for electrical testing, where their voltage endurance is measured under controlled conditions. This process ensures precise and reliable results by minimizing external variables and maintaining consistency across measurements.
-
Simulation method. We cut the capacitor base films into segments, wound them into capacitor rolls and then subject them to testing within a specialized device designed to simulate realworld operational conditions. This process rigorously evaluates the capacitor base films’ voltage endurance by creating a simulated real-world setting.
Thermal shrinkage resistance testing
We use the high-precision intelligent constant-temperature drying oven to test the thermal shrinkage resistance of our capacitor base films. The drying oven features a temperature measurement range of ±0.1°C and is equipped with an internal fan circulation system to ensure consistent temperature control. In addition, we have enhanced our testing methodology by extending the drying time from the national standard of 120°C for 10 minutes to 120°C for 15 minutes. This improvement enables more accurate monitoring of the stability of our capacitor base films’ thermal shrinkage resistance.
Surface roughness testing
We employ surface roughness tester to evaluate the smoothness of our capacitor base films by measuring three key parameters: (i) Ra (Average roughness), which represents the average height of microscopic peaks and valleys on the surface; (ii) Rz (Mean roughness depth), which measures the difference between the highest peak and the lowest valley within a measured segment; and (iii) Rmax (Maximum roughness), which indicates the largest single peak-to-valley distance detected on the surface. In addition, we use a metallurgical microscope to examine the roughening structure and the depth of the roughening rings on the capacitor base films’ surface. Using both the measurement data obtained from the surface roughness tester and microscopic observations, our production line adjusts the process to ensure our films achieve an optimal roughened surface that is suitable for subsequent production stages and delivers excellent electrical performance.
Tensile strength testing
We utilize specialized tension testing equipment to verify the tensile strength and stretch ratio of our base films. These tests ensure the films maintain mechanical stability and meet performance requirements prior to delivery.

Quality control in finished products, warehousing, and logistics
Before delivering capacitor film products to our customers, our quality control team conducts sample checks on each batch of finished products. We also inspect the packages to ensure they provides sufficient protection during transportation. We regularly inspect out warehouse, and have implemented safety measures to minimize risks including fire hazards, water damage, and other potential threats to our finished products.
RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIERS
Raw Materials
Our key raw materials primarily include (a) electrical grade polypropylene for the manufacturing of capacitor base films, (b) capacitor base films we procured from third parties for the metallized films we sold, (c) metallized films we purchased from Haowei Electronic and (d) other materials, such as aluminum and zinc, for the manufacturing of metallized films.
Electrical grade polypropylene
The key raw material of our capacitor base films is electrical grade polypropylene. During the Track Record Period, electrical grade polypropylene represented over 70% of raw material costs, respectively. Capacitor film manufacturers in China primarily rely on overseas suppliers for electrical grade polypropylene, primarily because the electrical grade polypropylene industry in China is still growing, with only a few domestic suppliers available. We procure electrical grade polypropylene from overseas suppliers in Europe and Korea, which is in line with the industry practice in China, according to CIC.
The price of electrical grade polypropylene fluctuated in recent years. According to CIC, the annual average price of electrical grade polypropylene increased from RMB11.2 thousand per ton in 2021 to RMB15.2 thousand per ton in 2022, and then decreased to RMB12.4 thousand per ton in 2023, and slightly increased to RMB12.8 thousand per ton in 2024. According to CIC, the fluctuation was primarily driven by the fluctuation in the price of crude oil, a key raw material for the production of electrical grade polypropylene. Crude oil price experienced a significant increase in 2022 due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and then declined and remained relatively stable in 2023 and 2024. See “Industry Overview— Price Analysis.”

BUSINESS
Our Directors are of the view that the Russia-Ukraine conflict did not and is not expected to materially affect our operation, primarily because (i) we were able to adjust the price of our capacitor film products in 2022 to offset the impact of the increase in the price of electrical grade polypropylene due to the high market demand for our capacitor film products; and (ii) the price of electrical grade polypropylene has been stabilized. See “Financial Information—Review of Historical Results of Operations—Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin” for details.
To our best knowledge, we are not aware of any export control measures on electrical grade polypropylene during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date imposed by countries and regions from which we import electrical grade polypropylene which will materially affect the price and supply of electrical grade polypropylene. As advised by our PRC Legal Advisor, during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, the PRC government did not impose tariff or other trade restriction measures on electrical grade polypropylene imported from other countries and regions which will materially affect the price and supply of electrical grade polypropylene.
In contrast, the current tension in international trade and rising political tension, particularly those between the U.S. and China, may affect the business operations and results of NEV companies, some of which are our customers or end customers. For example, the U.S. government had increased tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on $18 billion of imports from China. The tariff rate on imported Chinese EVs is set to increase from 25% to 100% in 2024. In addition, the Trump administration has implemented a 10 percent tariffs on all imports from China, which took effect on February 4, 2025, and an additional 10% tariff taking effect on March 4. Given that (i) all of our revenue is derived from the sales of our products in China and (ii) our capacitor film products have diverse end-use applications encompassing new energy electricity system, industrial equipment and home appliances other than NEV, our Directors believe that the increased tariffs on Chinese EVs will not have any material indirect impact on the sales of our capacitor film products.
Our total purchase amount of electrical grade polypropylene in 2022 was RMB159.7 million, which was relatively higher compared to our total purchase amount of electrical grade polypropylene in 2023. This was primarily because, as the price of electrical grade polypropylene decreased at the end of 2022, we procured electrical grade polypropylene in advance to secure our raw material supplies. In comparison, in 2023, as the price of electrical grade polypropylene decreased and became relatively stable, we prioritized the utilization of our raw materials in stock and were more prudent at procuring raw materials.

-
(2) In the five months ended May 31, 2025, we procured ultra-thin base films from Supplier B as the capacitor base films for the metallized films that we sold. This was primarily due to our relatively low production volume for ultra-thin base films. Specifically, our customers for metallized films primarily demand metallized films produced using ultra-thin base films, while we prioritized the production of thin base films during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date. See “—Our Products—Capacitor Films—Capacitor base films—Our strategic focus on thin base films.”
CUSTOMERS, SALES AND MARKETING
Major Customers
During the Track Record Period, all of our revenue was derived from our sales in the PRC. During the Track Record Period, our customers primarily included (i) film capacitor manufacturers and (ii) BYD. We acquired BYD as a customer through our acquisition of 51% equity interest in Ningguo Haiwei on December 31, 2022, as BYD has been purchasing metallized films from Ningguo Haiwei.
In 2022, 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, our five largest customers in each period of the Track Record Period together generated RMB119.2 million, RMB115.1 million, RMB158.4 million and RMB157.1 million of revenues, respectively, accounting for 36.4%, 34.9%, 37.6% and 42.1% of our total revenue for the respective periods, respectively. In addition, revenues generated from our largest customer in each period of the Track Record Period accounted for 17.3%, 12.2%, 12.6% and 12.0% of our total revenues in 2022, 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, respectively.
In 2022, we sold capacitor base films to our connected person, Ningguo Haiwei. We completed the acquisition of 51% equity interest in Ningguo Haiwei on December 31, 2022, after which Ningguo Haiwei became our non-wholly owned subsidiary. See “History, Development and Corporate Structure— Our Operating Entities and Corporate Development—Capital Increase, Equity Transfer and Acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei in October 2022” for details. Save as disclosed above, all of our five largest customers were Independent Third Parties during the Track Record Period.
To the best of our knowledge and as of the Latest Practicable Date, we were not aware of any information or arrangement that would lead to the termination of our relationships with any of our major customers.

Overlapping Suppliers and Customers
Ningguo Haiwei and Haiwei Petrochemical
To the best knowledge and belief of our Directors, in 2022, one of our major suppliers, Haiwei Petrochemical, and one of our major customers, Ningguo Haiwei, were both controlled by the same person. As a result, these two entities were deemed as an overlapping supplier and customer:
- Haiwei Petrochemical . Haiwei Petrochemical was one of our top five suppliers in 2022, Haiwei Petrochemical was controlled by Mr. Song Junqing in 2022, who is the father of Mr. Song Wenlan. Mr Song Wenlan is one of our Controlling Shareholders. We generally procured electrical grade polypropylene directly from overseas suppliers prior to 2014. From 2014 to 2022, we engaged Haiwei Petrochemical to procure electrical grade polypropylene for us from overseas suppliers, primarily due to that (i) leveraging its access to a relatively large amount of foreign currency as our access to foreign currency was limited during this period and (ii) Haiwei Petrochemical provided payment arrangement in form of letters of credit, with a credit term of three months. In 2023, the engagement of Haiwei Petrochemical for procurement of electrical grade polypropylene was terminated and we started to procure electrical grade polypropylene on our own as we have more access to foreign currency. According to CIC, the price of the electrical grade polypropylene procured by Haiwei Petrochemical and us was in line with the price procured by other peers within the industry.
In January 2019, we entered into an entrusted procurement framework with Haiwei Petrochemical. Below is the summary of the salient terms of the entrusted procurement framework agreement with Haiwei Petrochemical:
-
Procurement. Haiwei Petrochemical shall only make procurement from suppliers designated by us, with the quantity, price, delivery terms and delivery location specified by us;
-
Review and approval of each procurement. We shall review and approve purchase agreements before Haiwei Petrochemical enters into agreements with the relevant overseas suppliers; and
-
Cost of procurement. We shall bear all costs associated with the procurement of electrical grade polypropylene and settle accounts with Haiwei Petrochemical at the end of each year.
-
Pricing. Given the price of polypropylene is subject to market fluctuation, we typically issue order requests to Haiwei Petrochemical specifying quantities and prices, based on a comprehensive consideration of factors, including the procurement cycle, market prices and suppliers.

BUSINESS
- Payment and settlement. We conduct periodical accounts reconciliations, and payment shall be made upon mutual confirmation of the reconciliation statement.
In 2022, Haiwei Petrochemical primarily procured electrical grade polypropylene for us from Supplier A and Supplier C. In March 2023, we ceased our purchase from Haiwei Petrochemical and started to procure electrical grade polypropylene from Supplier A and Supplier C directly as we were able to access more foreign currency and make payment to overseas suppliers directly. The entrusted procurement framework agreement was terminated in 2023. As advised by our PRC Legal Advisor, the arrangement of using of Haiwei Petrochemical’s foreign currency to procure on our behalf is based on bona fide and lawful commercial grounds, and is in full compliance with the applicable laws and regulations in the PRC.
- Ningguo Haiwei . Ningguo Haiwei was one of our top five customers in 2022, to whom we sold capacitor base films. Prior to our acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei on December 31, 2022, it was controlled by Mr. Song Junqing in 2022.
In 2022, our purchases from Haiwei Petrochemical represented 73.7% of our total purchases, and our sales to Ningguo Haiwei represented 17.3% of our total revenue.
The negotiations of the terms of arrangements with Haiwei Petrochemical and Ningguo Haiwei were conducted separately, and our purchase from Haiwei Petrochemical and sales to Ningguo Haiwei were neither inter-connected nor inter-conditional with each other. Our Directors confirm that (i) all of our purchases from Haiwei Petrochemical and sales to Ningguo Haiwei were carried out in the ordinary course of business, at market price, under normal commercial terms and on arm’s length basis; and (ii) the salient terms of the transactions that we entered into with Haiwei Petrochemical and Ningguo Haiwei were similar to those that we entered into with other suppliers or customers.
Haowei Electronic
In 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, one of our major suppliers, Haowei Electronic, was also our customer. Specifically:
- As our supplier . We started doing business with Haowei Electronic following our acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei on December 31, 2022. In 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, we engaged Haowei Electronic to provide metallized films to us. For details about the provision of metallized films by Haowei Electronic, see “—Our Products—Capacitor Films—Metallized films—Sources of metallized films we sold.”

BUSINESS
- As our customer . Haowei Electronic was our customer in 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, during which periods we sold metallized films to Haowei Electronic. While the metallized films Haowei Electronic provided to us was mainly manufactured with ultra-thin base films, the metallized films we sold to Haowei Electronic were mainly manufactured with medium-thick base films Haowei Electronics purchased metallized films manufactured with medium-thick base films from us, primarily because, to our Company’s knowledge, the customers of Haowei Electronic have a demand for film capacitors used in industrial equipment and home appliances, and therefore, have strong demand for metallized films manufactured with medium-thick base films.
For details about end-use applications of capacitor base films with different thickness, see “—Our Products—Capacitor Films—Capacitor base films.” As a result, Haowei Electronics purchased metallized films manufactured with medium-thick base films from us occasionally when it faced limitation in production capacity.
In 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, our purchases from Haowei Electronic represented 9.3%, 12.3% and 9.7% of our total purchases for the respective periods, respectively, and our sales to Haowei Electronic represented 2.4%, 9.8% and 1.1% of our total revenue for the respective periods, respectively.
The negotiations of the terms of arrangements with Haowei Electronic as our supplier and our customer were conducted separately, and our purchase from and sales to Haowei Electronic were neither inter-connected nor inter-conditional with each other. Our Directors confirm that (i) all of our purchase from and sales to Haowei Electronic were carried out in the ordinary course of business, at market price, under normal commercial terms and on arm’s length basis; and (ii) the salient terms of the transactions that we entered into with Haowei Electronic were similar to those that we entered into with other suppliers or customers.
Saved as disclosed above, during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, there existed no relationships or dealings, including, without limitation, family, business, employment, trust, financing or otherwise, between Haowei Electronic and our Group, the respective shareholders, directors or senior management, or any of the respective associates.
Sales and Marketing
As of May 31, 2025, we had seven employees in sales and marketing, focusing on business development, customer service, brand promotion and sales contract management. We have established regional sales teams nationwide to enable direct communication with customers in each region.

Product return policy
We generally accept sales returns for verified product defects for which we are responsible. According to CIC, our return policy is generally in line with industry norms. During the Track Record Period, the total value of our product return was insignificant.
In the event of product failure, we will undertake the necessary corrective actions, including replacement, refund and indemnification of purchaser’s losses.
During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we did not receive (i) any fines, product recall orders or other penalties from the relevant competent authorities regarding material product quality issues, (ii) any material product returns from our customers, or (iii) any material complaints from consumers.
Pricing
We price our products based on various factors, including product specifications requested by customers, raw material costs, demand and supply of products in the market, order volume and market conditions. We also price our products based on market competition. For example, BYD places order for metallized films through a bidding process with its potential suppliers. From 2022 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we adjusted downward our prices of metallized films sold to BYD to maintain our competitiveness in the bidding process, which was in line with industry trend, according to CIC. In addition, the average price of of our our ultra-thin base films decreased from RMB53.4 thousand per ton in 2022 to RMB40.8 thousand per ton in 2023, further decreased to RMB38.9 thousand per ton in 2024. According to CIC, our pricing for capacitor film products generally aligns with current market trends.
We do not expect the price reduction trend in the capacitor film industry to have a material adverse impact on us, primarily because: (i) according to CIC, such trend was temporary, and the price of capacitor base film products have stabilized in 2025, mainly because the price of major raw material, electricalgrade polypropylene, has stabilized and downstream demand from sectors such as NEV and new energy electricity system remains resilient; and (ii) leveraging our ability to independently design and develop production lines for capacitor base films, we plan to launch four additional production lines for capacitor base films to enhance our production capacity, which is expected to bring us significant economies of scale and cost advantages. See “Business—Our Strategies—Enhance our production capacity to meet increasing market demand.”
In general, our pricing strategy aligns with pricing fluctuations, trends of raw material prices and demand and supply of products in the market to mitigate the impact of raw material price volatility. Currently, our products are in short supply in the market. See “Financial Information—Review of Historical Results of Operations—Revenue” for average selling price of our main products.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND COMPLIANCE
During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had not been involved in or subject to any litigation, arbitration, administrative proceedings, claims, damages or losses 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.
According to our PRC Legal Advisor, the business operations we engaged in had been carried out in compliance with applicable PRC laws and regulations in all material respects during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date.
Social Insurance and Housing Provident Funds
According to the relevant PRC laws and regulations, we are required to make contributions to the social insurance fund and housing provident fund for the benefit of our employees in China. During the Track Record Period, certain of our PRC subsidiaries did not make full contributions to social insurance and housing provident fund for all employees in accordance with the Regulations on Administration of Housing Provident Fund (《住房公積金管理條例》) and the Social Insurance Law of the PRC (《中華人民 共和國社會保險法》). Such non-compliance incidents occurred primarily because (i) we failed to make timely contribution upon the hiring of certain new employees; (ii) certain of our employees had already participated in other local rural social insurance plans, rural cooperative medical schemes or other similar schemes; and (iii) certain employees voluntarily made the decision to not make such contributions in lieu of receiving cash payments. We estimate that the aggregate shortfall of social insurance and housing provident fund contributions for the outstanding amounts that may be required to be settled under (i) and (ii) above in 2022, 2023, 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2025 amounted to approximately nil, RMB67.6 thousand, RMB749.1 thousand and RMB283.1 thousand, respectively. We have not made provisions for such shortfall for each of the year or period during the Track Record Period, primarily because the outstanding amounts are minimal.

Our PRC Legal Advisor advised us that, pursuant to relevant PRC laws and regulations, if we fail to pay the full amount of social insurance contributions as required, we may be ordered to pay the outstanding social insurance premiums within a prescribed time limit and may be subject to an overdue fine of 0.05% of the delayed payment per day from the date on which the payment is payable. If such payment is not made within the stipulated period, the competent authority may further impose a fine from one to three times the amount of the overdue payment, and the maximum fine would amount to RMB2.2 million in total. However, as advised by our PRC Legal Advisor, so long as we pay the outstanding social insurance in full in a timely manner upon receipt of the order of correction of non-compliance from the relevant competent authorities, our risk of being charged penalties is low. In addition, our PRC Legal Advisor advised us that, pursuant to relevant PRC laws and regulations, if we fail to pay the full amount of housing provident fund as required, the housing provident fund management center may order us to make the outstanding payment within a prescribed time limit. If the payment is not made within such time limit, an application may be made to the PRC courts for compulsory enforcement.
As advised by our PRC Legal Advisor, the non-compliance with social insurance and the housing provident fund would not have a material adverse impact on our business, and the risk of us being penalized for such non-compliance in the future is low based on the following grounds:
-
(a) We have obtained written confirmations on January 6, 2025 from the competent social insurance and housing provident fund authorities. These confirmations state, in respect of the relevant periods stated therein, no administrative penalties had been imposed and our Company was in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. In addition, we have received the public credit information report issued by competent authorities, which confirms that we have not been subject to any administrative penalties for the non-compliance with employee benefit contribution;
-
(b) According to the Urgent Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security on Effectively Implementing the Essence of the Executive Meeting of the State Council and the Measures on the Stable Collection of Social Insurance Contributions (《人力資源社會保障部辦公廳關於貫徹落實國務院常務會議精神切實做好穩定社保費徵 收工作的緊急通知》) which was promulgated on September 21, 2018, local governmental authorities are prohibited from centralized collecting of historical unpaid social insurance premiums in order not to exert additional burden to the enterprises. Additionally, the State Taxation Administration issued the Notice on Implementing Further Measures to Support and Serve the Development of the Private Economy (《關於實施進一步支持和服務民營經 濟發展若干措施的通知》) on November 16, 2018, which further stipulates that outstanding social insurance contributions from previous years, including those of private enterprises, shall not be subject to independently organized centralized collections;

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Film capacitors are widely applied across various industries, primarily (i) NEV, (ii) new energy electricity system, (iii) industrial equipment and (iv) home appliances. The market size of film capacitors in China has grown significantly in recent years. The market size of film capacitors in China in terms of revenue grew from approximately RMB4.3 billion in 2018 to approximately RMB10.8 billion in 2023, representing a CAGR of 20.1%, and is expected to reach RMB28.7 billion in 2029, representing a CAGR of 17.8% from 2023 to 2029. According to CIC, the growth of film capacitors market in China has been primarily driven by the rapid expansion of the NEV industry and the new energy electricity system industry. Customer demand for film capacitors in China has been driven by multiple favorable factors, primarily including government policies promoting the development of the NEV industry and the new energy electricity system industry, and technical advantages of film capacitors compared to other types of capacitors used in these industries.
The market size of capacitor base films in China increases in tandem with the growth of the film capacitor market in China. According to CIC, the market size of capacitor base films in China in terms of revenue grew from approximately RMB1.2 billion in 2019 to approximately RMB3.6 billion in 2024, representing a CAGR of 24.2%, and is expected to reach approximately RMB7.6 billion in 2029, representing a CAGR of 15.5% from 2025 to 2029. Within the capacitor film market in China, the market size for capacitor base films used in NEV in terms of revenue grew from approximately RMB0.1 billion in 2019 to approximately RMB1.5 billion in 2024, representing a CAGR of 67.6%, and is expected to reach approximately RMB3.5 billion in 2029, representing a CAGR of 16.4% from 2025 to 2029. Meanwhile, the market size for capacitor base films used in new energy electricity system in China in terms of revenue grew from approximately RMB0.2 billion in 2019 to approximately RMB0.9 billion in 2024, representing a CAGR of 40.2%, and is expected to reach approximately RMB2.7 billion in 2029, representing a CAGR of 24.3% from 2025 to 2029.
There has been a significant supply-demand gap of capacitor films recently, and the gap is expected to persist, according to CIC. Such supply-demand gap provides us with stronger bargaining power and helps us become profitable. To capture sales opportunities brought by the undersupply of capacitor films in China, we have been expanding and will continue to expand our capacitor films production capacity and production volume. See “—Our Ability to Manage and Expand Production Capacity.”
We recorded accumulated loss as of January 1, 2022, because of lower average selling price of our capacitor films due to market competition. We broke-even and recognized profits in 2021, primarily attributable to (i) an increase in the average selling price of our capacitor films, which was in line with the industry trend as a result of higher market demand, according to CIC; and (ii) a decrease in our cost of sales as a result of our enhanced economies of scale.
Our Ability to Effectively Manage Our Costs of Sales
Our profitability to a large extent depends on our ability to manage cost of sales. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, our cost of sales was RMB180.2 million, RMB226.7 million, RMB296.6 million, RMB117.0 million and RMB101.4 million, respectively, representing 55.1%, 68.8%, 70.3%, 72.1% and 64.5% of our total revenue for the respective periods.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The raw material costs were the largest component of our cost of sales during the Track Record Period. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, our raw material costs represented 82.5%, 84.5%, 83.4%, 82.4% and 80.8% of our total cost of sales, respectively, and represented 45.4%, 58.1%, 70.3%, 59.4% and 52.2% of our total revenue, respectively.
During the Track Record Period, our raw material costs primarily included (a) electrical grade polypropylene for the manufacturing of capacitor base films, (b) capacitor base films we procured from third parties for the metallized films we sold, (c) metallized films we purchased from Haowei Electronic and (d) other materials, such as aluminum and zinc, for the manufacturing of metallized films.
Electrical grade polypropylene
In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, electrical grade polypropylene represented over 70.0% of raw material costs, respectively. We procure electrical grade polypropylene from overseas suppliers. See “Business—Raw Materials and Suppliers—Our Suppliers.” The stability of the supply of electrical grade polypropylene may be affected by factors beyond our control, including geopolitical tensions, China’s foreign exchange regulations and force majeure events such as wars, acts of terrorism and environmental disasters, among others. The prices of electrical grade polypropylene may fluctuate due to fluctuations in the price of crude oil, a key raw material for electrical grade polypropylene, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in the geopolitical environment and economic conditions, natural disasters or changes in the supply and demand for electrical grade polypropylene.
The price of electrical grade polypropylene fluctuated in recent years. According to CIC, the annual average price of electrical grade polypropylene increased from RMB11.2 thousand per ton in 2021 to RMB15.2 thousand per ton in 2022, and then decreased to RMB12.4 thousand per ton in 2023, and slightly increased to RMB12.8 thousand per ton in 2024. According to CIC, the fluctuation was primarily driven by the fluctuation in the price of crude oil, a key raw material for the production of electrical grade polypropylene. Crude oil price experienced a significant increase in 2022 due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and then declined and remained relatively stable in 2023 and 2024.

During the Track Record Period, our cost of sales also included (i) capacitor base films we procured and (ii) metallized films we purchased for our metallized film business. Specifically:
- Capacitor base films. In 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, we procured ultra-thin base films from third parties as the capacitor base films for the metallized films we sold. This was primarily because our customers for metallized films mainly demand metallized films produced using ultra-thin base films, while we prioritized the production of thin base films. See “Business—Raw Materials and Suppliers—Our Suppliers” for details.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- Metallized films. We purchased metallized films from a third party, Haowei Electronic. This was primarily due to (i) the strong customer demand for our metallized films and (ii) the need to satisfy certain customers’ specific requirement for metallized films. See “Business—Our Products—Capacitor Films—Capacitor base films—Metallized films—Sources of metallized films we sold” for details.
Among the metallized films we sold during the Track Record Period, (i) metallized films produced using capacitor base films we procured from third parties and (ii) metallized films we purchased from Haowei Electronic tend to have higher unit cost of sales, as compared to the metallized films produced using capacitor base films manufactured by us.
Our Ability to Manage and Expand Production Capacity
Our financial performance, particularly revenue and cost of sales, is affected to a large extent by our ability to manage and expand our production capacity. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we possessed (i) five production lines for the manufacturing of capacitor base films and (ii) three production lines for the manufacturing metallized films. Our ability to independently design and develop production lines for capacitor base films is the cornerstone of our expansion of production capacity. See “Business— Manufacturing—Self-Design and Development of Production Lines” for details.
Effects on revenue
Our revenue is affected by the fluctuation in production capacity caused by the suspension of existing production lines and the addition of new production lines. For example:
-
Our revenue for capacitor base films decreased by 21.3% from RMB300.6 million in 2022 to RMB236.5 million in 2023, to a large extent due to a decrease in the production volume of capacitor base films mainly caused by a decrease in the production capacity in 2023 as compared to 2022. Our production capacity decreased in 2023 as compared to 2022, primarily because we suspended our aging first production line, which was originally launched in 2006, to carry out technical upgrades from March 2023 to June 2024. See “Business— Manufacturing—Existing Manufacturing Facilities—Production capacity and utilization” for details;
-
Our revenue from capacitor base films increased by 6.0% from RMB116.4 million in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to RMB123.4 million in the five months ended May 31, 2025. Such trend was also in line with that of our production volume, which increased primarily as a result of an increase in production capacity in the five months ended May 31, 2025 as compared to the five months ended May 31, 2024. Our production capacity increased in the five months ended May 31, 2025 as compared to the five months ended May 31, 2024, primarily because we relaunched one of our production line in July 2024 after suspending its operation to carry out technical upgrades. See “Business—Manufacturing—Existing Manufacturing Facilities—Production capacity and utilization” for details; and

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- Our revenue is affected by our ability to design and develop capacitor base film production lines, which serves as the cornerstone of our expansion of production capacity. According to CIC, we are the only capacitor film manufacturer in China with the ability to independently design and develop capacitor base films’ production lines. As of the Latest Practicable Date, all of our existing five production lines for capacitor base films were independently designed, developed and assembled by us. As a result, the delivery time of the manufacturing equipment for our production lines is approximately eight months, which is significantly lower than the industry average of three to five years. Such ability has substantially accelerated our production capacity expansion and is in turn expected to drive our revenue growth. See “Business—Manufacturing—Planned Manufacturing Facilities” for details of our production capacity expansion plan.
Effects on cost of sales
Our ability to independently design and develop production lines for capacitor base films helps us incur lower cost of sales. Specifically, benefiting from this ability, we are able to procure manufacturing equipment on the production lines from domestic suppliers, thereby significantly reducing the investment cost of our production lines. Such lower investment cost is in turn a factor in reducing our cost of sales. Accordingly, our gross profit margin for capacitor base films was 48.6%, 37.1%, 38.0%, 34.3% and 41.2% in 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Effect on gross profit margin
Our newly launched production lines typically undergo a production ramp-up period of two to three months, during which we conduct testing and continuously optimize the integration and coordination of manufacturing equipment. In June 2023, we launched our fifth production line for capacitor base films. This production line underwent a three-month production ramp-up period before reaching its designed production capacity.
Our overall gross profit margin is affected by the production ramp-up period of newly launched production lines. This is primarily because, during the production ramp-up period, we continue to incur cost of sales associated with our newly launched production lines while our revenue from such production lines was relatively low. We generate relatively low revenue during the production ramp-up period, primarily because (i) our production lines typically generate a relatively large amount of waste films during the production ramp-up period, but the revenue from recycled granules made from these waste films is substantially lower than the revenue from capacitor base films; and (ii) we may suspend the operation of the newly launched production line for a certain period of time to conduct testing and adjustment during the production ramp-up period. See “Business—Manufacturing—Existing Manufacturing Facilities— Features of our production lines for capacitor base films.”

Product Portfolio
We maintain a mixed product portfolio to meet the varied and specific requirements of our customers. During the Track Record Period, we derived our revenue primarily from the sales of capacitor films products, including capacitor base films and metallized films. We provide three categories of capacitor base films, including (i) ultra-thin base films, (ii) thin base films and (iii) medium-thick base films.
Thin base films
During the Track Record Period, thin base films are the largest component of our revenue. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, thin base films represented 63.5%, 53.6%, 56.9%, 54.4% and 59.0% of our total revenue, respectively. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we prioritized the production of thin base films, primarily due to their stronger market demand and higher production volume within a given timeframe. See “Business—Our Products—Capacitor Films—Capacitor base films—Our strategic focus on thin base films” for details.
In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, the gross profit margin of thin base films was 47.6%, 35.9%, 36.7%, 34.1% and 40.9%, respectively.
Metallized films
We began to provide metallized films in 2023, following our acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei, which primarily manufactures and sells metallized films. In 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, metallized films represented 21.5%, 20.2%, 22.4% and 13.7% of our total revenue, respectively. We have decided to provide metallized films, mainly to (i) diversify our product portfolio, (ii) strengthen connections with our key customers and (iii) expand customer network in East China. See “Business—Our Products—Capacitor Films—Metallized films—Our strategies of providing metallized films” for details.
In 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, the gross profit margin of metallized films was 23.7%, 12.9%, 13.8% and 21.2%, respectively. Such gross profit margin was relatively lower compared to that of capacitor base films, primarily because, to meet the customer demand for metallized films, we (i) procured capacitor base films from third parties as the capacitor base films for the metallized films we sold and (ii) purchased metallized films from Haowei Electronic. See “—Our Ability to Effectively Manage Our Cost of Sales—Capacitor base films and metallized films” for details.
Acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei
On December 31, 2022, we acquired 51% equity interest in Ningguo Haiwei, which primarily manufactures and sells metallized films. We started to provide metallized films through Ningguo Haiwei in 2023 following this acquisition.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Our revenue has been affected by our acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei in two ways:
-
Following the acquisition, our revenue from the sales of capacitor base films to Ningguo Haiwei was eliminated in full on consolidation. In 2022, Ningguo Haiwei was one of our five largest customers. In 2022, we sold approximately 1,462 tons of capacitor base films to Ningguo Haiwei and generated revenue of RMB56.6 million, representing 17.3% of our total revenue in 2022. See “Business—Customers” for details. In 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025, we provided approximately 868 tons, 732 tons and 208 tons of capacitor base films we produced to Ningguo Haiwei for the production of metallized films, respectively. Such revenue in 2023, 2024 and the five months ended May 31, 2025 was eliminated in full on consolidation; and
-
We began to generate revenue from metallized films through Ningguo Haiwei following the acquisition. In 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, our revenue from metallized films was RMB71.0 million, RMB85.2 million, RMB36.3 million and RMB21.5 million, respectively, representing 21.5%, 20.2%, 22.4% and 13.7% of our total revenue, respectively.
The volume of capacitor base films we sold to Ningguo Haiwei decreased by 40.7% from 1,462 tons in 2022 to 868 tons in 2023, primarily due to (i) a decrease in our overall production volume from 2022 to 2023 as we suspended the operation of our aging first production line to carry out technical upgrades from March 2023 to June 2024; (ii) our decision to prioritize the production of thin base films while Ningguo Haiwei had a large demand for ultra-thin base films; and (iii) a reduction in our production of ultra-thin base films with thickness below 3.2 μm, while a major customer of Ningguo Haiwei was a NEV company and needed ultra-thin base films with thickness below 3.2 μm.
The volume of capacitor base films we sold Ningguo Haiwei further decreased by 15.6% from 868 tons in 2023 to 733 tons in 2024, primarily due to (i) our decision to prioritize the production of thin base films while Ningguo Haiwei had a large demand for ultra-thin base films; and (ii) a reduction in our production of ultra-thin base films with thickness below 3.2 μm, while a major customer of Ningguo Haiwei was a NEV company and generally needed ultra-thin base films with thickness below 3.2 μm.

- Other products: Our revenue from the sales of other products increased by 32.9% from RMB22.0 million in 2023 to RMB29.3 million in 2024, primarily due to an increase in production volume of recycled granules, attributable to an increase in the production volume of capacitor base films that led to more waste films, which are the raw materials of recycled granules.
Comparison between 2023 and 2022: Our revenue increased by 0.8% from RMB327.1 million in 2022 to RMB329.5 million in 2023, mainly because we started to generate revenue from metallized films in 2023, which was partially offset by a decrease in the revenue from capacitor base films.
-
Capacitor base films: Our revenue from the sales of capacitor base films decreased by 21.3% from RMB300.6 million in 2022 to RMB236.5 million in 2023. Specifically:
-
(i) Ultra-thin base films: Our revenue from the sales of ultra-thin base films decreased by 54.7% from RMB53.0 million in 2022 to RMB24.0 million in 2023, primarily due to:
-
(a) a 40.9% decrease in sales volume from 993 tons in 2022 to 587 tons in 2023. Such decrease was primarily because:
-
(1) The production volume of ultra-thin base films decreased, resulting from a decrease in our overall production capacity of capacitor base films from 13,800 tons in 2022 to 12,342 tons in 2023 as we suspended the operation of our aging first production line to carry out technical upgrades from March 2023 to June 2024. See “Business—Manufacturing—Existing Manufacturing Facilities—Production capacity and utilization” for details. During the period when our overall production capacity of capacitor base films was affected, we prioritized the production of thin base films. See “Business—Our Products—Capacitor Films—Capacitor base films—Our strategic focus on thin base films”; and
-
(2) We provided approximately 125 tons of ultra-thin base films we produced ourselves to Ningguo Haiwei for the production of metallized films in 2023, following our acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei to start our metallized film business. Our revenue from such capacitor base films was eliminated in full on consolidation.
-
-
We provided such amount of ultra-thin base films we produced ourselves to Ningguo Haiwei, primarily because the majority of ultra-base films we produced in 2023 were of approximately 3.8 μm, while Ningguo Haiwei mainly needed ultra-thin base films with thickness approximately below 3.3 μm. This is because the customers of Ningguo Haiwei were NEV manufacturers and needed thinner capacitor base films.

-
(b) a 23.4% decrease in the average selling price from RMB53.4 thousand per ton in 2022 to RMB40.8 thousand per ton in 2023, primarily due to our price adjustment in response to the request of our customers. According to CIC, such customer request was primarily attributable to the price reduction in the end-use markets of capacitor base films. According to CIC, the price reduction trend has similarly affected other players in the capacitor film industry in China during the Track Record Period. See “Business—Customers Sales and Marketing— Sales and Marketing—Pricing” for details.
-
(ii) Thin base films: Our revenue from the sales of thin base films decreased by 16.4% from RMB207.6 million in 2022 to RMB176.5 million in 2023, primarily due to:
-
(a) a 5.8% decrease in sales volume from 6,334 tons in 2022 to 5,969 tons in 2023. Such decrease was primarily because:
-
(1) There was a decrease in our overall production capacity of capacitor base films from 13,800 tons in 2022 to 12,342 tons in 2023 as we suspended the operation of our aging first production line to carry out technical upgrades from March 2023 to June 2024. See “Business—Manufacturing—Existing Manufacturing Facilities—Production capacity and utilization” for details;
-
(2) We provided approximately 735 tons of thin base films we produced ourselves to Ningguo Haiwei for the production of metallized films in 2023, following our acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei to start our metallized film business. Our revenue from such capacitor base films was eliminated in full on consolidation; and
-
(3) The above effects were partially offset by our decision to prioritize the production of thin base films. See “Business—Our Products—Capacitor Films—Capacitor base films—Our strategic focus on thin base films” for details.
-
-
(b) a 9.8% decrease in the average selling price from RMB32.8 thousand per ton in 2022 to RMB29.6 thousand per ton in 2023, primarily due to our price adjustment in response to the request of our customers. According to CIC, such customer request was primarily attributable to the price reduction in the end-use markets of capacitor base films. According to CIC, the price reduction trend has similarly affected other players in the capacitor film industry in China during the Track Record Period. See “Business—Customers Sales and Marketing— Sales and Marketing—Pricing” for details.

According to CIC, such customer request was primarily attributable to the price reduction in the end-use markets of capacitor base films. According to CIC, the price reduction trend has similarly affected other players in the capacitor film industry in China during the Track Record Period. See “Business— Customers Sales and Marketing—Sales and Marketing—Pricing” for details.
-
Metallized films: Our revenue from the sales of metallized films increased from nil in 2022 to RMB71.0 million in 2023, primarily due to our acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei on December 31, 2022, which primarily produces and sells metallized films. See “Business— Our products—Capacitor Films—Metallized films—Our strategies of providing metallized films.”
-
Other products: Our revenue from the sales of other products decreased by 16.7% from RMB26.4 million in 2022 to RMB22.0 million in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in the sales volume of recycled granules, as we decided to sell less recycle granules in light of the relevant market price.

Comparison between the five months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024: Our cost of sales decreased by 13.3% from RMB117.0 million in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to RMB101.4 million in the five months ended May 31, 2025, primarily due to economies of scale as our production capacity and production volume increased. See “Business—Manufacturing—Existing Manufacturing Facilities— Production capacity and utilization” for details.
Comparison between 2024 and 2023: Our cost of sales increased by 30.9% from RMB226.7 million in 2023 to RMB296.6 million in 2024, which was primarily due to an increase in raw material costs, primarily attribute to (i) an increase in sales volume of capacitor base films and metallized films, and (ii) an increase in our purchase amount of capacitor base films and metallized films for our metallizedfilm business. See “Business—Raw Materials and Suppliers—Raw Materials” for details.
Among the metallized films we sold during the Track Record Period, (i) metallized films produced using capacitor base films we procured from third parties and (ii) metallized films we purchased from Haowei Electronic tend to have higher unit cost of sales, as compared to the metallized films produced using capacitor base films manufactured by us. The increases in (i) the sales volume of capacitor base films and metallized films and (ii) our purchase amount of capacitor base films and metallized were partially offset by the decrease in the annual average price of electrical grade polypropylene from 2023 to 2024. See “Industry Overview—Price Analysis.”
Comparison between 2023 and 2022: Our cost of sales increased by 25.8% from RMB180.2 million in 2022 to RMB226.7 million in 2023, primarily driven by an increase in raw material costs. This was primarily because, as we began to provide metallized films in 2023, we (i) procured capacitor base films from third parties as the capacitor base films for the metallized films that we sold, and (ii) purchased metallized films from Haowei Electronic. See “Business—Raw Materials and Suppliers—Raw Materials” for details. Among the metallized films we sold during the Track Record Period, (i) metallized films produced using capacitor base films we procured from third parties and (ii) metallized films we purchased from Haowei Electronic tend to have higher unit cost of sales, as compared to the metallized films produced using capacitor base films manufactured by us. Our purchase amount of capacitor base films and metallized were partially offset by the decrease in the annual average price of electrical grade polypropylene from 2022 to 2023.

(ii) Thin base films : Our gross profit margin of thin base films increased from 34.1% in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to 40.9% in the five months ended May 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in the unit cost of sales of thin base films as a result of enhanced economies of scale as a result of an increase in the production volume of capacitor base films. The production volume of capacitor base films increase primarily because our utilization rate and production capacity of capacitor base films increased. For the analysis of our utilization rate and production capacity, see “Business— Manufacturing—Existing Manufacturing Facilities—Production capacity and utilization.”

(iii) Medium-thick base films : Our gross profit margin of medium-thick base films increased from 34.8% in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to 41.5% in the five months ended May 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in the unit cost of sales of medium-thick base films as a result of enhanced economies of scale as a result of an increase in the production volume of capacitor base films. The production volume of capacitor base films increase primiarily because our utilization rate and production capacity of capacitor base films increased. For the analysis of our utilization rate and production capacity, see “Business—Manufacturing—Existing Manufacturing Facilities—Production capacity and utilization.”
-
Metallized films: Our gross profit margin of metallized films increased from 13.8% in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to 21.2% in the five months ended May 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in the unit cost of sales of metallized films as a result of a decrease in our purchase of metallized films from Haowei Electronics. See “Business—Raw Materials and Suppliers—Raw Materials” and “Business—Our Products—Capacitor Films—Metallized films—Sources of metallized films we sold” for details.
-
Other products: Our gross profit margin of other products remained relatively stable at 2.7% in the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2.5% in the five months ended May 31, 2025.
Comparison between 2024 and 2023: Our gross profit margin deceased from 31.2% in 2023 to 29.7% in 2024.
-
Capacitor base films: Our gross profit margin of capacitor base films remained relatively stable at 36.1% in 2023 and 36.9% in 2024. Specifically, our gross profit margin of ultra-thin base films remained relatively stable at 37.1% in 2023 and 38.0% in 2024. Our gross profit margin of thin-base films remained relatively stable at 35.9% in 2023 and 36.7% in 2024. Our gross profit margin of medium-thick base films remained relatively stable at 36.4% in 2023 and 37.3% in 2024.
-
Metallized films: Our gross profit margin of metallized films decreased from 23.7% in 2023 to 12.9% in 2024, primarily due to an increase in the unit cost of sales which was attributable to an increase in raw material costs. Such increase in raw material costs was primarily due to an increase in our purchase amount of capacitor base films and metallized films for our metallized film business. For reasons for our purchase of metallized films from a third party, see “Business—Raw Materials and Suppliers—Raw Materials” for details.
Such increase in the unit cost of sales of our metallized films was partially offset by an increase in the average selling price of our metallized films. Such increase was primarily due to an increase in the proportion of metallized films produced with ultra-thin base films, given that such metallized films have a relatively higher selling price.
- Other products: Our gross profit margin of other products remained relatively stable at 2.8% in 2023 and 2.6% in 2024.

Comparison between 2023 and 2022: Our gross profit margin decreased from 44.9% in 2022 to 31.2% in 2023, primarily due to (i) a decrease in gross profit margin of capacitor base films and (ii) our acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei in 2023, after which we started to provide metallized films, which have a relatively lower gross profit margin compared to that of capacitor base films.
-
Capacitor base films: Our gross profit margin of capacitor base films decreased from 48.6% in 2022 to 36.1% in 2023. Specifically:
-
(i) Ultra-thin base films: Our gross profit margin of ultra-thin base films decreased from 52.8% in 2022 to 37.1% in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in the average selling price primarily because of our price adjustment in response to the request of our customers. According to CIC, such customer request was primarily attributable to the price reduction in the end-use markets of capacitor base films. We decided to adjust our product selling price, primarily to strengthen our long-term relationship with customers. Such reduction in selling price was in line with the industry practice, according to CIC.
-
(ii) Thin base films: Our gross profit margin of thin base films decreased from 47.6% in 2022 to 35.9% in 2023, primarily due to:
-
(a) a decrease in the average selling price, mainly due to our product adjustment in response to the request of our customers. According to CIC, such customer request was primarily attributable to the price reduction in the end-use markets of capacitor base films. We have decided to adjust our product selling price, primarily to strengthen our long-term relationship with customers. Such reduction in selling price was in line with the industry practice, according to CIC; and
-
(b) an increase in the unit cost of sales, which was attributable to a reduction in economies of scale as a result of a decrease in our utilization rate and a decrease in our production capacity. Such decrease in production capacity was primarily because we suspended our first production line for capacitor base films from March 2023 to June 2024 to carry out technical upgrades. For the analysis of our utilization rate and production capacity, see “Business—Manufacturing— Existing Manufacturing Facilities—Production capacity and utilization.”

In 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the five months ended May 31, 2024 and 2025, our effective tax rates calculated as our income tax expense divided by our profit before tax, were 15.4%, 10.8%, 7.3%, 12.0% and 13.6%, respectively, which were lower than the 25% statutory rate, primarily because we and our subsidiary enjoyed preferential tax treatments. See Note 10 and Note 18 to the Accountants’ Report in Appendix I to this document and Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Appendix IA to this document.
Our income tax expense decreased by 54.4% from RMB18.6 million in 2022 to RMB8.5 million in 2023, primarily due to the decrease in our profit before tax. Our income tax expense decreased by 19.6% from RMB8.5 million in 2023 to RMB6.8 million in 2024, primarily due to utilisation of previously unrecognised tax losses. Our income tax expense increased by 10.9% from RMB4.5 million in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to RMB5.0 million in the five months ended May 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in unused tax losses that were used to offset against our profits.
Profit for the Year
As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the year decreased by 31.5% from RMB102.0 million in 2022 to RMB69.8 million in 2023, and further increased by 23.8% to RMB86.4 million in 2024. Our profit for period decreased by 4.6% from RMB32.9 million in the five months ended May 31, 2024 to RMB31.4 million in the five months ended May 31, 2025.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Our use of cash was primarily related to operating activities and investing activities. We have historically financed our operations through cash generated from financing activities.

Operating activities
Our cash flows from operating activities reflect: our profit before tax adjusted for (i) non-cash and non-operating items such as depreciation of property, plant and equipment, impairment loss, finance costs and financial guarantee income from related parties and (ii) the effects of movement in working capital such as inventories, restricted bank deposits, trade, bills and other receivables and payables, and amounts due from/to related parties of trade nature. Cash flows from operating activities can be significantly affected by factors such as the timing of collection of trade receivables from customers and the timing of payment of trade payables to suppliers or other counterparties during the ordinary course of our business, which also primarily accounted for the difference in the net cash flows generated from operating activities among the years/periods during the Track Record Period.

Our inventories decreased by 26.6% from RMB100.2 million as of December 31, 2022 to RMB73.5 million as of December 31, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in our inventory of raw materials and consumables. This was primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in purchase price of electrical grade polypropylene, the key raw material for capacitor base films; and (ii) a decrease in the volume of raw materials we held in stock. Specifically, in 2022, due to the short supply and price fluctuations of electrical grade polypropylene caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, we procured electrical grade polypropylene in advance to secure our raw material supplies. In 2023, as the purchase price of electrical grade polypropylene decreased and became relatively stable, we prioritized the utilization of our raw materials in stock and were more prudent at procuring raw materials. See “Business—Raw Materials and Suppliers—Raw Materials” and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry—We are exposed to risks relating to cost fluctuations of raw materials caused by fluctuations in prices and foreign currency exchange.”

Our inventories decreased by 5.8% from RMB73.5 million as of December 31, 2023 to RMB69.3 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in raw materials and consumables as we prioritized the use of raw materials and consumables in our production.
Our inventories increased by 43.7% from RMB69.3 million as of December 31, 2024 to RMB99.6 million as of May 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in the purchase order of our products.
We recognized inventories write-down of RMB1.0 million, RMB1.3 million and RMB1.8 million in 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. We assessed write-down of inventories from time to time during the Track Record Period and may make provisions to write down our inventories if the inventories become expired or damaged, or their prices went down.

Our trade, bills and other receivables increased by 7.6% from RMB258.9 million as of December 31, 2022 to RMB278.5 million as of December 31, 2023, primarily due to (i) an increase in trade receivables as a result of our acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei, and (ii) an increase in advance payment to suppliers as a result of the purchase of manufacturing equipment which is essential to our business expansion. Such increase was partially offset by a decrease in bills receivables. Our trade, bills and other receivables increased by 21.0% from RMB278.5 million as of December 31, 2023 to RMB337.0 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to our business growth.
Our trade, bills and other receivables increased by 4.8% from RMB337.0 million as of December 31, 2024 to RMB343.1 million as of May 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in advance payment to suppliers for purchase of raw materials.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following table sets forth our trade receivables turnover days during the periods indicated:
| Trade receivables turnover days(1) | For theyear ended December 31, 2022 2023 2024 105.9 136.7 123.0 |
For theyear ended December 31, 2022 2023 2024 105.9 136.7 123.0 |
As of May 31, |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 105.9 |
2023 136.7 |
2025 | |
| 156.9 |
Note:
- (1) Trade receivables turnover days are calculated based on the average of opening and closing balance of trade receivables (less allowance for impairment) for the relevant year, divided by the revenue for the relevant year and multiplied by the respective number of days for the full-year/period.
Our trade receivables turnover days increased by 29.1% from 105.9 days in 2022 to 136.7 days in 2023, mainly because we completed the acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei, which had longer trade receivables turnover days for the year ended December 31, 2023, on December 31, 2022. Ningguo Haiwei had longer trade receivables turnover days primarily due to longer credit periods it granted to one of its major customers.
Our trade receivables turnover days decreased by 10.0% from 136.7 days in 2023 to 123.0 days in 2024, mainly due to our enhanced measures to collect trade receivables.
Our trade receivables turnover days increased by 27.6% from 123.0 days in 2024 to 156.9 days in the five months ended May 31, 2025, mainly due to longer credit periods we granted to our customers.
Our trade receivables turnover days during the Track Record Period were slightly longer than our industry peers, which, according to CIC, average approximately 90 days among other capacitor film manufacturers. We recorded average trade receivable turnover days longer than the credit terms we generally grant to our customers during the Track Record Period because:
-
(i) One of our major customers, a well-known leading NEV company in China, usually settle their balance with us through commercial acceptance bills that mature in six months, which results in longer trade receivable turnover days; and
-
(ii) The outstanding balance of customers, primarily including three companies engaged in the manufacturing of film capacitors. These customers have outstanding balance with us because (a) we no longer maintain business relationship for longer than a year or (b) they expereince operational difficulties. We typically grant 30 to 60 days of credit period to these customers and may extend such period depending on the credibility of the customer. For customers with whom we no longer maintain business relationship, we are seeking and will continue to seek payments of their outstanding balance. If these customers experience operational difficulties, we plan to further initiate legal proceedings to recover the outstanding balance.

FUTURE PLANS AND USE OF [REDACTED]
FUTURE PLANS
See “Business—Our Strategies” for a detailed description of our future plans.
USE OF [REDACTED]
Assuming an [REDACTED] of HK$ [REDACTED] per Share (being the mid-point of the [REDACTED] range stated in this document), we estimate that we will receive net [REDACTED] of approximately HK$ [REDACTED] million (equivalent to approximately RMB [REDACTED] million) 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 [90.8]% of the net [REDACTED] , or HK$ [REDACTED] million (equivalent to approximately RMB [REDACTED] million), is expected to be used to further increase our production capacity, which is one of our key strategies as detailed in “Business—Our Strategies” and “Business—Manufacturing—Planned Manufacturing Facilities.” As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had five production lines for capacitor base films and three production lines for metallized films. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our production capacity of capacitor base films and metallized films reached 11,225 tons and 945 tons, respectively. Our production lines for capacitor base films are also capable of manufacturing composite copper foil base films with generally equivalent production capacity.
There has been a significant supply-demand gap of capacitor films recently, and the gap is expected to persist, according to CIC. Such supply-demand gap provides us with stronger bargaining power and helps us become profitable. See “Business—Our Strategies—Enhance our production capacity to meet increasing market demand.” In response to the growing downstream demands, our plan for expanding production capacity including using such [REDACTED] for the construction of a new manufacturing facility for producing capacitor base films in Southern China (the “ Southern China Facility ”) by 2027. As of the date of this document, we are still in the process of selecting the specific location of the Southern China Facility. The Southern China Facility is expected to primarily include two production lines for capacitor base films with annual production capacity of approximately 8,000 tons. Such production lines can also be used to produce composite copper foil base films. Specifically:

We report on the historical financial information of Hebei Haiwei Electronic New Material Technology Corporation Limited (河北海偉電子新材料科技股份有限公司) (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “ Group ”) set out on pages I-3 to I-[58], which comprises the consolidated statements of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 May 2025, the statements of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 May 2025, and the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity, and the consolidated statements of cash flows of the Group for each of the three years ended 31 December 2024 and the five months ended 31 May 2025 (the “ Track Record Period ”) and material accounting policy information and other explanatory information (together, the “ Historical Financial Information ”). The Historical Financial Information set out on pages I-3 to I-[58] 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 initial [REDACTED] of 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 preparation set out in Note [3] 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.
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 (the “ HKICPA ”).

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
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 Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note [3] 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 purposes of the accountants’ report, a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 May 2025, of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 May 2025 and of the Group’s financial performance and cash flows for the Track Record Period in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note 3 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 the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the five months ended 31 May 2024 and other explanatory information (the “ Stub Period Comparative Financial Information ”). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note 3 to the Historical 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 Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA. 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 Hong Kong 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 preparation set out in Note 3 to the Historical Financial Information.

Notes:
-
(a) It represents the statutory reserve of certain entities comprising the Group in the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”). Pursuant to applicable PRC regulations, the PRC entities comprising the Group is required to appropriate 10% of its profit after tax (after offsetting prior year losses) to the statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Transfers to this reserve must be made before distribution of dividends to shareholders. Upon approval by relevant authorities, the statutory reserve can be utilised to offset the accumulated losses or to increase the paid-up capital of the entities comprising the Group.
-
(b) As at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 May 2025, the Group has provided guarantees to related parties for their bank borrowings amounting to RMB2,050,000,000, RMB563,000,000, RMB198,000,000 and RMB198,000,000, respectively. Such financial guarantees were measured at fair values at initial recognition with reference to the default rates and recovery rates published by a credit rating agency and the maximum exposure of the related parties’ credit facilities to the Group at the time of recognising the financial guarantee liabilities. The fair values of financial guarantee liabilities at initial recognition were charged to equity as deemed distribution under other reserve, and the financial guarantee liabilities were subsequently measured at the higher of: (i) the amount of the loss allowance determined in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“ IFRS 9 ”); and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised. Details of the financial guarantees are set out in Note 26.
-
(c) Pursuant to the directors’ resolutions on 16 December 2022 and the promoters’ agreement dated 21 December 2022, the then existing shareholders of the Company agreed to convert the Company into a joint stock limited liability company with a share capital of RMB97,020,000. Pursuant to the promoters’ agreement, the net asset value of the Company as of 31 October 2022 amounted to approximately RMB208,908,000, of which (i) RMB97,020,000 was converted into 97,020,000 shares of RMB1.0 par value each, which were subscribed by and issued to the then shareholders of the Company in proportion to their respective equity interest in the Company; and (ii) the remaining amount of approximately RMB111,888,000 was converted into capital reserve of the Company. Upon the completion of registration with the Hengshui Administrative Approval Bureau (衡水市行政審批局) on 11 January 2023, the Company was converted into a joint stock company with limited liability.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
APPENDIX I
NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated and registered in the PRC on 6 September 2006 as a limited liability company. In December 2022, the Company was converted into a joint stock company with limited liability under the Company Laws of the PRC. The respective addresses of the registered office and principal place of business of the Company are stated in the section headed “Corporate Information” of the Document. Its ultimate controlling shareholder is Mr. Song Wenlan (宋文蘭) (“ Mr. Song ”), who is the chairman of the Board of Directors and an executive director of the Company.
The Group is principally engaged in the research and development, manufacturing and sales of capacitor films products.
The Historical Financial Information is presented in RMB, which is also the functional currency of the Company.
2. APPLICATION OF AMENDMENTS TO IFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Historical Financial Information for the Track Record Period, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies which conform with IFRS Accounting Standards, International Accounting Standards (“ IASs ”), amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards and the related interpretations issued by the IASB, which are effective for the accounting period beginning on 1 January 2025 throughout the Track Record Period.
New and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective
The Group has not early applied the following new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective:
| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 | Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial |
|---|---|
| Instruments2 | |
| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 | Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity2 |
| Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 | Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate |
| or Joint Venture1 | |
| Amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards | Annual Improvement to IFRS Accounting Standards—Volume 112 |
| IFRS 18 | Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements3 |
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined.
2 Effective for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
- 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.
IFRS 18 sets out requirements on presentation and disclosures in financial statements and it will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The new standard 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. Minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flow s and IAS 33 Earnings per Share are also made. IFRS 18 will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with early application permitted. The application of the new standard will not have material impact on the financial position of the Group and the Company but is expected to affect the presentation of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of cash flows and disclosures in the future financial statements. The Group will continue to assess the impact of IFRS 18 on the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements.
Except as described above, the directors of the Company (the “ Directors ”) anticipate that the application of the other amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards will have no material impact on the financial position and performance of the Group in the foreseeable future.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
APPENDIX I
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the IASB. For the purpose of preparation of the Historical Financial Information, information is considered material if such information is reasonably expected to influence decisions made by primary users. In addition, the Historical Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the “ Listing Rules ”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in the Historical Financial Information is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment , leasing transactions that are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases (“ IFRS 16 ”), and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets .
4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
Basis of consolidation
The Historical Financial Information incorporates the financial statements of the entities now comprising the Group. Control is achieved when the Group:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
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 listed above.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year/ period are included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies.
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.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein, which represent present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate share of net assets of the relevant subsidiaries upon liquidation. When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary and non-controlling interests (if any) are derecognised. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and 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 carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary attributable to the owners of the Company. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable IFRS Accounting Standards). 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 or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
Business combinations
A business is an integrated set of activities and assets which includes an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The acquired processes are considered substantive if they are critical to the ability to continue producing outputs, including an organised workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge, or experience to perform the related processes or they significantly contribute to the ability to continue producing outputs and are considered unique or scarce or cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay in the ability to continue producing outputs.
Acquisitions of businesses 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 generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes (“ IAS 12 ”) and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively.
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 interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as at acquisition date.
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the relevant subsidiary’s net assets in the event of liquidation are initially measured at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the statements of financial position of the Company at cost less identified impairment loss, if any.
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when “control” of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.
A performance obligation represents a good or service that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
APPENDIX I
Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:
-
the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs;
-
the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or
-
the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right lo payment for performance completed to date.
Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct good or service.
Leases
Definition of a lease
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition under IFRS 16 at inception, modification date or acquisition date, as appropriate. Such contract will not be reassessed unless the terms and conditions of the contract are subsequently changed.
The Group as a lessee
Right-of-use assets
The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability and any lease payments made at or before the commencement date.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The Group presents right-of-use assets as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of financial position.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognises and measures the lease liability at the present value of lease payments that are unpaid at that date. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.
The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable.
After the commencement date, lease liabilities are adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments.
The Group presents lease liabilities as a separate line item on the consolidated statements of financial position.
Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred as the Group does not have any qualifying asset.
Government grants
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants related to income that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. Such grants are presented under “other income”.
Employment benefits
Retirement benefits costs
Payments to the defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are recognised at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid as and when employees rendered the services. All short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense unless another IFRS requires or permits the inclusion of the benefit in the cost of an asset.
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees (such as wages and salaries) after deducting any amount already paid.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Historical Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised 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 recognised 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 liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
APPENDIX I
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realized, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
The Group applies IAS 12 to the lease liabilities and the related assets separately. The Group recognises a deferred tax asset related to lease liabilities to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised and a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied to the same taxable entity by the same taxation authority.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are tangible assets that are held for rental, use in provision of services, or for administrative purposes. Property, plant and equipment are stated in the consolidated statements of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment on property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on a weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Costs necessary to make the sale include incremental costs directly attributable to the sale and non-incremental costs which the Group must incur to make the sale.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value except for trade receivables arising from contracts with customers which are initially measured in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ IFRS 15 ”). Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are added or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the Track Record Period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Financial assets
Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:
-
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:
-
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both selling and collecting contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
All other financial assets are subsequently measured at FVTPL.
Amortised cost and interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for financial assets measured subsequently at amortised cost. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset from the next reporting period. If the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset from the beginning of the reporting period following the determination that the asset is no longer credit-impaired.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss is included in the “other gains and losses” line item.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
APPENDIX I
Impairment of financial assets and financial guarantee contracts subject to impairment assessment under IFRS 9
The Group performs impairment assessment under ECL model on financial assets and financial guarantee contracts which are subject to impairment assessment under IFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL (“ 12m ECL ”) represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Assessments are done based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.
The Group always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables.
For all other instruments, the Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12m ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, in which case the Group recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.
(i) Significant increase in credit risk
In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as 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.
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.
For financial guarantee contracts, the date that the Group becomes a party to the irrevocable commitment is considered to be the date of initial recognition for the purposes of assessing impairment. In assessing whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition, the Group considers the changes in the risk that the specified debtor will default on the contract.
The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.
(ii) Definition of default
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 collaterals held by the Group).
The Group rebuts the presumption of the significantly increase in credit risk for trade receivables over 30 days past due based on the strong financial position with good repayment records of those customers and continuous business relationship with the Group.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
APPENDIX I
- (iii) Credit-impaired financial assets
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:
-
(a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
-
(b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
-
(c) the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider; or
-
(d) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization.
-
(iv) Write-off policy
The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, for example, when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. Any subsequent recoveries are recognised in profit or loss.
(v) Measurement and recognition of ECL
The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data and forward-looking information. Estimation of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. The Group uses a practical expedient in estimating ECL on trade receivables using a provision matrix taking into consideration historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.
Generally, the ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition.
For a financial guarantee contract, the Group is required to make payments only in the event of a default by the debtor in accordance with the terms of the instrument that is guaranteed. Accordingly, the ECL is the present value of the expected payments to reimburse the holder for a credit loss that it incurs less any amounts that the Group expects to receive from the holder, the debtor or any other party.
For ECL on financial guarantee contracts for which the effective interest rate cannot be determined, the Group will apply a discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks that are specific to the cash flows but only if, and to the extent that, the risks are taken into account by adjusting the discount rate instead of adjusting the cash shortfalls being discounted.
Lifetime ECL for trade receivables are considered on a collective basis taking into consideration past due information and relevant credit information such as forward looking macroeconomic information.

APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
For collective assessment, the Group takes into consideration the following characteristics when formulating the grouping:
-
Past-due status;
-
Nature, size and industry of debtors; and
-
External credit ratings where available.
The grouping is regularly reviewed by management to ensure the constituents of each group continue to share similar credit risk characteristics.
Interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit-impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on amortised cost of the financial asset.
For financial guarantee contracts, the loss allowances are recognised at the higher of the amount of the loss allowance determined in accordance with IFRS 9, and the amount initially recognised less, where appropriate, cumulative amount of income recognised over the guarantee period.
The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments by adjusting their carrying amount, with the exception of trade receivables where the corresponding adjustment is recognised through a loss allowance account.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities and equity
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by group entities are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Financial liabilities including trade, bills and other payables, amounts due to related parties and bank borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
APPENDIX I
Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contract liabilities are measured initially at their fair values. It is subsequently measured at the higher of:
-
the amount of the loss allowance determined in accordance with IFRS 9; and
-
the amount initially recognised less, where appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised over the guarantee period.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
When the contractual terms of a financial liability are modified, the Group assess whether the revised terms result in a substantial modification from original terms taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances including qualitative factors. If qualitative assessment is not conclusive, the Group considers that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received, and discounted using the original effective interest rate, is at least 10 per cent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. The above said fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. Accordingly, such modification of terms is accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred are recognised as part of the gain or loss on the extinguishment. The exchange or modification is considered as non-substantial modification when such difference is less than 10 per cent.
For non-substantial modifications of financial liabilities that do not result in derecognition, the carrying amount of the relevant financial liabilities will be calculated at the present value of the modified contractual cash flows discounted at the financial liabilities’ original effective interest rate. Transaction costs or fees incurred are adjusted to the carrying amount of the modified financial liabilities and are amortised over the remaining term. Any adjustment to the carrying amount of the financial liability is recognised in profit or loss at the date of modification.
5. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 4, the directors of the Group are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions lo accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
APPENDIX I
Deferred tax asset
As at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 May 2025, a deferred tax asset of RMB13,454,000, RMB4,371,000, RMB1,281,000 and nil in relation to unused tax losses has been recognised in the consolidated statements of financial position. The realisability of the deferred tax asset mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available in the future, which is a key source of estimation uncertainty. In cases where the actual future taxable profits generated are less or more than expected, or change in facts and circumstances which result in revision of future taxable profits estimation, a material reversal or further recognition of deferred tax assets may arise, which would be recognised in profit or loss for the period in which such a reversal or further recognition takes place.
Provision of ECL for trade receivables
Trade receivables with credit-impaired are assessed for ECL individually.
In addition, for trade receivables which are individually insignificant or when the Group does not have reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort to measure ECL on individual basis, collective assessment is performed by grouping debtors based on the Group’s internal credit ratings.
The provision of ECL is sensitive to changes in estimates. The information about the ECL and the Group’s trade receivables are disclosed in Note 35.

No diluted earnings per share for the Track Report Period were presented as there were no potential ordinary shares in issue for the Track Report Period.
The calculation of the basic earnings per share attributable to owners of the Company is based on the following data:

No consideration has been received by the Group for these guarantees.
The fair value of the financial guarantees as at their respective initial recognition date were arrived at on the basis of valuation carried out by Avista Valuation Advisory Limited, an independent qualified professional valuer not connected with the Group.

-
(e) The Series A, Series A1 and Series B shares issued by the Company are classified as equity instruments since they are non-redeemable, nor does the Company have any contractual obligation to deliver cash or other financial assets to another party. Furthermore, the Company, as the issuer of these shares does not have any obligations to issue a variable number of its own equity instruments or deliver shares with a fixed value or a value based on changes in an underlying variable at the dates of issue and at the end of each reporting period.
In accordance with Series A, Series A1 and Series B investment agreements, Series A investors, Series A1 investors and Series B investors were granted certain preferred rights (the “ Preferred Rights ”) upon capital contribution. These Preferred Rights mainly included anti-dilution right.
Should the Company subsequently issue equity interests prior a qualified initial public offering to new investors at a price lower than the initial investments paid by Series A investors, Series A1 investors and Series B investors, Series A investors, Series A1 investors and Series B investors have the right to require the Company to adjust the equity ratio of the current round of investors by issuing additional registered capital at the lowest price permitted by law according to the unit price of the new issuance, so that the initial subscription unit price paid by the current round of investors is not higher than the unit price of the new issuance.
The directors of the Company considered that the fair value of the anti-dilution right was immaterial and or remote and the Company does not have any contractual obligation to deliver cash or other financial assets to another party and therefore no derivative liability was recognised by the Company.

32. ACQUISITION OF A SUBSIDIARY
In October 2022, the Company entered into a capital injection agreement pursuant to which Mr. Song Junqing, the father of Mr. Song, subscribed new registered capital of the Company amounting to RMB1,020,000, at the total consideration of RMB10,200,000 and the consideration was settled by transferring 51% of the shares of Ningguo Haiwei to the Company. The objective of the transaction is to expand the Group’s relevant business. The transaction was completed on 31 December 2022. Upon completion of the transaction, Ningguo Haiwei became a direct non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition has been accounted for as acquisition of business using the acquisition method.

APPENDIX I
Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group
No revenue and profit for the year are generated from Ningguo Haiwei for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Had the acquisition of Ningguo Haiwei been completed on 1 January 2022, revenue for the year ended 31 December 2022 of the Group would have been RMB371,790,000, and profit for the year ended 31 December 2022 would have been RMB103,112,000. The pro forma information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily an indication of revenue and results of operations of the Group that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been completed on 1 January 2022, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.
In determining the ‘pro-forma’ revenue and profit of the Group had Ningguo Haiwei been acquired at the beginning of the year ended 31 December 2022, the directors of the Company calculated depreciation of property, plant and equipment based on the recognised amounts of property, plant and equipment at the date of the acquisition.
33. DISPOSAL OF A SUBSIDIARY
On 8 November 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Song Mingyi, the son of Mr. Song, to dispose its entire 100% equity interest in Jingxian Shuojia for a consideration of RMB3,480,000. The disposal was completed on 26 December 2024 and the net assets of Jingxian Shuojia at the date of disposal were as follows:

34. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remained unchanged throughout the Track Record Period.
The capital structure of the Group consists of net debts, which includes non-trade related amounts due to related parties, bank borrowings and lease liabilities disclosed in Note 30, Note 24 and Note 25 respectively, net of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising share capital and reserves.
The management reviews the capital structure periodically. As part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the management, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through issue of new shares as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

APPENDIX I
35b. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s and the Company’s major financial instruments include trade, bills and other receivables, restricted bank deposits, amounts due from related parties, cash and cash equivalents, trade, bills and other payables, amounts due to related parties, bank borrowings, lease liabilities and financial guarantee liabilities. Except for above, the Company’s major financial instruments also include amounts due from/to subsidiaries. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include market risk (interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management of the Group manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.
Market risk
Interest rate risk
The Group and the Company are exposed to fair value interest-rate risk in relation to fixed rate borrowings from banks (Note 24) and lease liabilities (Note 25). The Group and the Company currently do not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider other necessary actions when significant interest rate exposure is anticipated.
Credit risk and impairment assessment
Credit risk refers to the risk that the Group’s and the Company’s counterparties default on their contractual obligations resulting in financial losses to the Group and the Company. The Group’s and the Company’s credit risk exposures are primarily attributable to trade, bills and other receivables, restricted bank deposits, amounts due from related parties, bank balances and amounts due from subsidiaries. The Group and the Company do not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements to cover its credit risks associated with its financial assets, except that the credit risks associated with settlement of certain bills receivables are backed by bills guaranteed by reputable financial institutions.
Trade and bills receivables arising from contracts with customers
In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group and the Company has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits and credit approvals. Before accepting any new customer, the Group and the Company assess the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customer. Limits attributed to customers are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Other monitoring procedures are in place to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts.
The Group and the Company accept trade receivables settled by bills. The management of the Group and the Company considers the credit risk arising from the endorsed or discounted bills is insignificant when the bills are issued or guaranteed by reputable PRC banks. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s and the Company’s credit risk is significantly reduced. The management estimates the estimated loss rates of commercial bills receivables based on historical credit loss experience of the debtors, and also quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportive forward-looking information. Based on assessment by the management, the probability of default is low in view of the repayment history and credit rating of debtors and the management considers the ECL for commercial bills receivables is insignificant.
In addition, the Group and the Company perform impairment assessment under ECL model on trade balances individually or based on provision matrix. Except for trade receivables that are with credit-impaired, which are assessed for impairment individually, the remaining trade receivables are grouped under a provision matrix based on shared credit risk characteristics by reference to repayment histories for recurring customers and current past due exposure for the new customers. Details of the quantitative disclosures are set out below in this note.

APPENDIX I
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
Other receivables, amounts due from related parties, amounts due from subsidiaries and financial guarantee contracts
The Group and the Company assessed the loss allowance for other receivables, amounts due from related parties, amounts due from subsidiaries and financial guarantee contracts on 12m ECL basis as the Group and the Company have considered that credit risks on these financial assets/financial guarantee contracts have not increased significantly since initial recognition. In determining the ECL, the Group and the Company have taken into account the historical default experience and forward-looking information as appropriate. The Group and the Company have considered the consistently low historical default rate in connection with payments and the Group and the Company also actively monitor the outstanding amounts owed by each debtor and identify any credit risks in a timely manner in order to reduce the risk of a credit related loss. In this regard, the directors of the Company concluded that credit risk inherent in the Group’s other receivables, amounts due from related parties and financial guarantee contracts, and the Company’s other receivables, amounts due from related parties, amounts due from subsidiaries and financial guarantee contracts is insignificant.
Restricted bank deposits and bank balances
The credit risk on bank balances and restricted bank deposits are limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
Provision matrix—debtors’ aging
The Group and the Company rebut the presumption of default under ECL for trade receivables over 90 days past due based on the strong financial position with good repayment records of those customers and continuous business relationship with the Group and the Company.
As part of the Group’s and the Company’s credit risk management, the Group and the Company use aging of trade receivables to assess the impairment for its customers because these customers consist of a large number of small customers with common risk characteristics that are representative of the customers’ abilities to pay all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms. The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk for trade receivables on invoice date which are assessed based on provision matrix as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 May 2025 within lifetime ECL (not credit-impaired). Debtors with credit-impaired with RMB8,768,000, RMB10,223,000, RMB8,679,000 and RMB12,067,000 gross carrying amounts as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 May 2025 were assessed individually, respectively.

The estimated loss rates are estimated based on historical observed default rates over the expected life of the debtors and are adjusted for forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. The grouping is regularly reviewed by management to ensure relevant information about specific debtors is updated.
During each of the year ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the five months ended 31 May 2025, the Group provided net impairment allowance of RMB2,528,000, RMB5,549,000, RMB3,489,000 and RMB1,913,000 for trade receivables, based on the collective assessment. Net reversal of impairment allowance of RMB4,809,000, RMB1,786,000, RMB3,605,000 and RMB1,042,000 were made on credit-impaired trade receivables for each of the year ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the five months ended 31 May 2025, respectively.
During each of the year ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the five months ended 31 May 2025, the Company provided net impairment allowance of RMB2,090,000, RMB4,763,000, RMB1,703,000 and RMB1,724,000 for trade receivables, respectively based on the collective assessment. Net reversal of impairment allowance of RMB4,371,000, RMB1,588,000, RMB3,484,000 and RMB770,000 were made on credit-impaired trade receivables for each of the year ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the five months ended 31 May 2025, respectively.
The Group and the Company write off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings.

- Note: As at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 May 2025, the amounts included above for financial guarantee liabilities were the maximum amounts the Group could be required to settle under the arrangement for the full guaranteed amount if that amount is claimed by the counterparty to the guarantee. Based on the expectation at the end of the reporting period, the management considered that it is more likely than not that no amount would be payable under the arrangement. However, this estimate is subject to change depending on the probability of the counterparty claiming under the guarantees which is a function of the likelihood that the financial receivables held by the counterparty which guaranteed suffer credit losses. Details of the financial guarantees are set out in Note 26.
36. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value measurements and valuation processes
In estimating the fair value, the Group and the Company use market-observable data to the extent it is available.
The fair values of these financial assets are determined (in particular, the valuation techniques and inputs used), as well as the level of the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorized (Level 1 to 3) based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements is observable.
-
Level 1 fair value measurements are based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-
Level 3 fair value measurement are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Fair value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (but fair value disclosures are required)
The directors of the Company consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities recorded as amortised cost in the Historical Financial Information approximate to their fair values.
The fair value of such financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with the most significant inputs being the discount rate that reflects the credit risk of counterparties.
