SUMMARY

Our Business System

img-4.jpeg

Adopting Dual-line Operation Modes

Our operation modes are mainly categorized into Direct Mode and Partner Mode. Direct Mode is the primary operation mode for our mechanical massage service, with approximately $71.0\%$ of our POS operating under the Direct Mode as at the Latest Practicable Date. Under the Direct Mode, our in-house operating team manages POS operation, which includes POS site selection, occupancy negotiation, POS site decoration and operation and maintenance of the POS. We also operate through the Partner Mode, whereby we collaborate with Local Partners who leverage their local resources and connection. As at the Latest Practicable Date, approximately $29.0\%$ of our POS were operated under the Partner Mode. Under the Partner Mode, our Local Partners are responsible for POS operation, while we provide a comprehensive mechanical massage service solution that includes: (i) the establishment and upgrading of the LMB Links; (ii) the development of the Lemobar brand; (iii) providing comprehensive guidance on POS operation and maintenance; (iv) supplying mechanical massage equipment and related spare parts; (v) granting access to the LMB Links for necessary operation of the equipment; and (vi) offering customer service assistance to handle consumer complaints.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

SUMMARY

We assign a dedicated operations specialist to each of our Local Partners to oversee their daily operations and provide regular guidance. Leveraging our internal system, LMB Links, we collect, store and analyze operational data, which is reviewed and summarised in monthly meetings. In addition, we conduct annual performance evaluations of our Local Partners based on their annual revenue growth. For details, see “Business — Our Business Segment — Mechanical Massage Service — Direct Mode and Partner Mode — Partner Mode”. We also adopt different division of work for maintenance and cleaning work under our two business models. Under the Direct mode, we perform maintenance and cleaning work ourselves through a combination of our in-house staff and outsourcing to external service providers. Under the Partner mode, Local Partners are responsible for the maintenance and cleaning of the POS and massage equipment. We provide them with a full set of maintenance work guidelines and ensure strict adherence through regular and ad hoc supervision as well as performance evaluations. For details, see “Business — Our Business Segment — Mechanical Massage Service — Maintenance of our massage equipment”. Through clear division of responsibilities, collaboration and empowerment, our Local Partners are closely aligned with our business objectives, creating mutually beneficial growth opportunities. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have established stable partnerships with approximately 95% of our Local Partners for more than five years. We believe that our systematic dual-line model of “Direct operation + Local Partner affiliation” is our key differentiation from our competitors, which allows us to efficiently expand our nationwide business coverage while continuously optimizing and improving operational efficiency.

Wide Scenario Coverage and Continuously Expanding POS Network

We have implemented effective business expansion strategies to systematically grow our POS network nationwide. Our POS network spans a variety of consumption scenarios, including commercial complexes, cinemas, transportation hubs and other scenarios. In commercial complex we place POS of mechanical massage service in public areas such as atriums and corridors. In cinema, we install mechanical massage cushions on the backs of seats inside the theater halls, or place POS of mechanical massage service in the waiting areas or ticketing halls within the cinema. For traffic hub, we place POS of mechanical massage service in airport terminals or waiting halls. According to F&S Report, as at the Latest Practicable Date, in terms of developing our POS network, we have achieved the following milestones: (i) 5,132 commercial complexes with a GFA of over 30,000 square meters, accounting for approximately 69.0% of commercial complexes with a GFA of over 30,000 square meters in China; (ii) 1,237 cinemas with an annual box office exceeding RMB five million, accounting for approximately 55.0% of cinemas in China with an annual box office exceeding RMB five million; and (iii) 23 airports with an annual passenger throughput exceeding 10 million, accounting for approximately 58.0% of airports in China with an annual passenger throughput exceeding 10 million.

SUMMARY

We have designed our mechanical massage spaces to adapt to a variety of scenarios. In terms of space design, we incorporate our brand color-orange and our brand IP, "lele Cat", as core visual elements, while also integrating distinctive local or scenario design features to reflect the character of each location. On the technology front, our mechanical massage spaces are connected to our digital platform, LMB Links, through third-party cloud services, enabling remote monitoring of the entire POS operations. By tailoring the experience to different consumption scenarios, we aim to create massage environment that blend privacy, functionality, and aesthetic design, offering consumers an immersive escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Total transaction value(5) million million million million

(1) Calculation method: number of repeat consumers in the year or period/total number of paying consumers in the year. We identify and count the number of consumers based on the consumer identification number who have placed at least one order in each of two consecutive years as the number of repeat consumers for the second year. We then calculate the total number of consumers based on the consumer identification number who have placed at least one order in the second year as the total number of paying consumers for that year. The aforesaid consumer identification number is generated based on the phone number of the consumer, or where the consumer refuses to share the phone number, the identification number from Wechat, Alipay etc.

(2) Calculation method: total number of orders from all massage equipment during the year/total number of ordering days for all massage equipment during the year/average of beginning and ending balance of number of massage equipment for the year.

The number of daily transaction per massage equipment decreased from 2.95 in 2023 to 2.04 in 2024 as a result of the substantial increase in number of massage equipment in 2024 by approximately 90% as compared to that in 2023, which led to dilution of the number of transaction per massage equipment and the ramp-up period for newly installed equipment to reach normal utilisation level.

(3) Calculation method: total annual transaction value/total annual number of orders.

SUMMARY

(4) Calculation method: total remaining useful life of massage equipment (i.e. expected useful life minus duration-in-use)/number of depreciating massage equipment.

(5) The revenue is derived by deduction of (i) the value-added tax under the Direct Mode; and (ii) the portion of the transaction value entitled by the Local Partners under the Partner Mode from the total transaction value. For details of our revenue derived under the Partner Mode, see “Business — Our Business Segment — Mechanical Massage Service — Direct Mode and Partner Mode — Partner Mode”.

Non-IFRS Measures

When evaluating our business, we use non-IFRS measures, namely, adjusted net profit (Non-IFRS measures), as additional financial measures, which are not required by, or presented in accordance with IFRS. We believe that such non-IFRS measures facilitate comparisons of operating performance from period to period and company to company by eliminating potential impacts of certain items. We believe that such measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our consolidated results of operations in the same manner as they help our management. However, our presentation of adjusted net profit (Non-IFRS measures) may not be comparable to similarly titled financial measures presented by other companies. The use of such non-IFRS measures has limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, our results of operations or financial condition as reported under IFRS.

SUMMARY

We define adjusted net profit (Non-IFRS measures) as profit for the year/period adjusted for (i) equity-settled share-based payment expenses, which are the non-cash payment in nature; and (ii) [REDACTED], which are the expenses relating to the [REDACTED].

Provision of mechanical massage services has been the main focus of our business operation. For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, revenue generated from mechanical massage services amounted to RMB316.13 million, RMB567.71 million, RMB782.93 million and RMB217.77 million, respectively, representing $95.75\%$ , $96.74\%$ , $98.11\%$ and $98.51\%$ of our total revenue in the same periods, respectively. The increase was mainly due to: (i) growth of our accessible consumer base as a result of additional POS and massage equipment supported by our continuous expansion of POS; (ii) growth in the number of transactions, taking into account the steady increase in both number of new consumers and repeat consumers; (iii) growth in the average massage fee per consumption order as more consumers ordered mechanical massage services of higher caliber and/or longer duration as a result of the increased stickiness of our consumers and their greater habituation to using mechanical massage services.

Our gross profit was RMB85.34 million, RMB245.25 million, RMB287.80 million, RMB68.52 million and RMB77.06 million, during the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, respectively. The increase in gross profit from RMB85.34 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 to RMB245.25 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 was mainly attributable to the increase in our revenue due to expansion of the POS network, especially under Direct Mode and revival of consumption activities in the PRC in general for the year ended 31 December 2023 subsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in gross profit from RMB245.25 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to RMB287.80 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 was mainly attributable to our POS expansion and the growth in terms of number of consumers and transaction orders for our mechanical massage services. The increase in gross profit from RMB68.00 million for the three months ended 31 March 2024 to RMB75.59 million for the three months ended 31 March 2025 was mainly attributable to the increase in the number of our POS sites and massage equipment.

SUMMARY

Our gross profit margin generated from our mechanical massage services was 24.66%, 41.47%, 36.16%, 37.04% and 34.71% for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, respectively. The increase in gross profit margin from 24.66% for the year ended 31 December 2022 to 41.47% for the year ended 31 December 2023 was mainly attributable to the underperformance of consumer activities for the year ended 31 December 2022 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during which we still incurred considerable costs such as POS and related expenses, and the recovery of consumer activities in the market in 2023 when more public venues were reopened, which led to an increase in average transaction value per POS. The decrease in gross profit margin from the Direct Mode was mainly attributable to increase in expenses due to (i) the increasing POS occupancy fees and the cost of new massage equipments incurred for expansion of our business scale and extension of market penetration; (ii) increased expenditure in respect of operating and maintenance personnel, resulting in a slowdown in gross profit growth; and (iii) given the more proactive POS expansion approach adopted under the Direct Mode, the increased proportion of gross profit generated from the Direct Mode which typically recorded a lower gross margin compared to that of the Partner Mode.

The table below sets forth the breakdown of the gross profit margin by business segment during the Track Record Period:

SUMMARY

Our profit for the year was RMB6.48 million, RMB87.34 million, RMB85.81 million, RMB26.38 million and RMB23.34 million for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, respectively. The increase in the profit for the year from RMB6.48 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 to RMB87.34 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 was mainly attributable to the increase in our revenue generated from mechanical massage services while the increase in selling and distribution expenses, administrative expenses and finance costs was of a lesser extent amid our business expansion in 2023. The profit remained stable for RMB87.34 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 and RMB85.81 million for the year ended 31 December 2024, which was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue, offset by (i) the [REDACTED]; (ii) the increasing POS occupancy fees and the cost of new massage equipments incurred for expansion of our business scale and extension of market penetration; and (iii) increased expenditure in respect of operating and maintenance personnel, resulting in a slowdown in gross profit growth. Despite our revenue increased by 35.98% from the year of 2023 to the year of 2024, the increasing cost slowed down the growth of our profit for the year of 2024. The profit decreased from RMB26.38 million for the three months ended 31 March 2024 to RMB23.34 million for the three months ended 31 March 2025 mainly attributable to the [REDACTED] incurred in 2025.

We had net current liabilities of RMB17.92 million as at 31 December 2022 mainly attributable to the redemption liability incurred from redemption right of an investor, namely Cornerstone Yixiang, who entered into an investment agreement with our Company in December 2017. Pursuant to the aforesaid investment agreement, Cornerstone Yixiang was entitled to require the Company to fully redeem its shares. See note 24 to the Accountants' Report as set out in the Appendix I to this document for details of redemption liability.

We had net current liabilities of RMB31.84 million as at 31 December 2023 compared to net current liabilities of RMB17.92 million as at 31 December 2022. The increase in net current liabilities position was mainly attributable to the increase in trade and other payables due to declaration of dividends of RMB23.75 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 (see note 28(b) to the Accountants' Report as set out in the Appendix I to this document for details) and increased acquisition of massage equipment and site occupancy fee for our business expansion, increase in bank loans due to increased acquisition of massage equipment and site occupancy fee for our business expansion, while the aforesaid redemption liability was partially settled in 2023.

We recorded net current liabilities of RMB15.61 million as at 31 December 2024, of which RMB10.17 million mainly due to the certificate of deposits with a term of two years in which we subscribed for better use of idle fund. As compared to the net current liabilities of RMB31.84 million as at 31 December 2023, the decrease in net current liabilities was mainly due to the termination of redemption rights by Cornerstone Yixiang in February 2024, resulting to the derecognition of redemption liability in full.

LEGAL COMPLIANCE

During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had non-compliance incidents regarding the social insurance and housing provident fund contributions. See “Business — Legal Proceedings and Regulatory Compliance” for details.

IMPACT OF COVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its resurgence in 2022 affected various regions in the PRC and around the globe. The PRC government had imposed various measures in order to combat the spread of COVID-19, including temporary closure of workplaces and commercial centers and the imposition of travel and mobility restrictions. As a result, our POS operations and financial condition were negatively affected in 2022. According to F&S Report, the market size of mechanical massage services market in term of transaction value dropped from RMB2,076.6 million in 2021 to RMB1,640.4 million in 2022. As a result of temporary closure of our various POS and suspension in our POS expansion efforts due to the travel and mobility restrictions, we recorded significantly lower gross profit, net profit and adjusted net profit (Non-IFRS measure) in 2022, which was in line with the industry trend under the impact of COVID-19. In particular, our gross profit and net profit dropped by over 30% and 70%,

SUMMARY

respectively, as compared to those in 2021. In view of the revival of consumption activities commencing from 2023 subsequent to the COVID-19 resurgence, we have been continuously expanding our POS network in respect of our mechanical massage services under both Direct Mode and Partner Mode. Due to the revival of market conditions and expansion in business scale, we were able to record increase in the revenue generated from mechanical massage services during the Track Record Period. For further details, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Business and Industry — We face risks related to natural disasters, epidemics and other public health emergencies.” and “Financial Information — Impact of COVID-19.”

RECENT DEVELOPMENT

Since 31 March 2025 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we continued to steadily expand our business. Our number of POS and massage equipment remained over 48,000 and surpassed 535,000 as at the Latest Practicable Date as compared with that of 47,427 and 517,918 as at 31 March 2025, respectively. In April 2025, for the purpose of preliminary trial, we entered into cooperation arrangement with a company incorporated in Thailand (the "Thailand Partner") for establishment of POS in Thailand. The Thailand Partner is owned by Fujian Rovos as to 42.0% and the remaining 58% is owned by Independent Third Parties based in Thailand. Fujian Rovos is ultimately controlled by Mr. Wu Jinghua, our non-executive Director and substantial shareholder, and hence each of Fujian Rovos and the Thailand Partner is an associate of Mr. Wu Jinghua and constitutes a connected person (as defined under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules). For further details of this transaction with the Thailand Partner and Fujian Rovos, see the section headed "Connected Transactions". Under a cooperation agreement with a term of three years, the Thailand Partner (i) purchased mechanical massage equipment and related spare parts from us in instalments; and (ii) is authorised to operate independently at POS sites approved by us using our IP and massage equipment upon our approval, while we provide a comprehensive mechanical massage service solution, without charging any service fee. Upon expiry of the three-year term, subject to the extension of the cooperation agreement, the Thailand Partner shall be required to pay service fees at an agreed service rate based on the transaction value in the manner similar as other Local Partners. In addition, Fujian Rovos may purchase spare parts from us for decoration of POS site in Thailand. As at the Latest Practicable Date, our operations in Thailand remained in the early exploratory stage and thus the POS scale was very limited, with 84 POSs and over 400 massage equipment deployed mainly at commercial complex across 29 cities in Thailand, such as Bangkok, Lamphun, Tak, Kamphaeng Phet, Rayong, Phetchaburi, Nakhon Sawan, Nonthaburi, Uttaradit and Prachuap Khiri Khan. Going forward, we shall continue to expand our POS network to capture a wider consumer base and deepen the market penetration of our business operation.

SUMMARY

We noted that the U.S. government, under the administration of President Donald J. Trump, has imposed rounds of tariffs increases on imports from the PRC in 2025. Taking into account that (i) our existing business operation has been conducted and our revenue has been derived substantially in the PRC; (ii) our suppliers and customers are substantially located within the PRC and/or PRC entities; and (iii) we do not expect to expand into the US market or engage in any trade activities with US entities in the foreseeable future, we consider that such tariff increases implemented by the U.S. government would not have any material adverse impact on our business operation and financial conditions.

No Material Adverse Change

Our Directors confirm that, as of the date of this document, there has been no material adverse change in our financial and trading positions or prospects since 31 March 2025, being the end of the period reported on in the Accountants' Report as set out in Appendix I.

We do not currently have a fixed dividend policy and may declare dividends from time to time as our Board considers appropriate in compliance with our Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations. See "Financial Information — Dividend" for details.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

We may not be able to find suitable sites for our POS on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Our performance significantly depends on our ability to identify and secure suitable and strategic locations for our existing and new POS. The success of our business and expansion strategy relies on our capacity to find locations that meet our operational criteria and are commercially viable. When evaluating potential sites, we consider various factors, including foot traffic, consumer spending power, proximity to complementary services, and historical performance data from similar locations.

However, we cannot assure that we will consistently identify suitable sites that align with our strategic objectives on terms that are favorable to us. Although high consumer traffic areas such as commercial complexes, cinemas, and airports are desirable, they may not always provide the necessary conditions for our business model, such as adequate space, favorable lease terms, or alignment with our operational requirements.

Fluctuations in the expenses in relation to POS including site occupancy fee in mainland China may also affect our capacity to negotiate favorable terms. We recorded POS and other related expenses of RMB158.75 million, RMB229.81 million, RMB352.37 million and RMB95.46 million, respectively for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and for the three months ended 31 March 2025 which has been increasing during the Track Record Period. We are responsible for bearing the POS and related expenses under the Direct Mode while such expenses are borne by the Local Partners under the Partner Mode. In case there is any rise in POS and related expenses could compel us to reconsider potential sites or limit our expansion plans to less desirable locations. Should there be difficulties in securing suitable


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

locations in our target regions, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. We cannot assure that we will be able to secure our existing strategic sites on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we encounter difficulties in securing suitable locations in regions that we have entered or plan to expand into, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.

We are susceptible to risks in relation to unexpected early termination of our site occupancy agreements.

We typically enter into site occupancy agreements for the POS under the Direct Mode with a term of (i) three months to one year for commercial complex; (ii) one to three years for cinemas; and (iii) one to five years for transportation hubs including airports and high-speed rail stations. There is a risk that our operations could be disrupted if any site occupancy agreements of our POSs are terminated by the Site Managers unilaterally. External factors such as compulsory acquisitions, redevelopment and renovation initiatives of the Site Managers, material changes of sites, operation adjustments of sites or other disruptions could necessitate the closure or demolition of our POS, and thus the Site Managers may decide to terminate the site occupancy agreements before the terms expire. Our business may be adversely affected if we are not able to identify a suitable site on acceptable terms to relocate our POS in a timely manner in such case. Such occurrences would further complicate our ability to maintain a stable and effective network of POS, potentially leading to decreased revenue and operational challenges.

Our brand are integral to our success. If we fail to effectively maintain, promote, enhance our brand and prevent our brand from negative publicity, our business and competitive advantages may be harmed.

We believe that maintaining, promoting and enhancing our brand Lemobar “樂摩吧”, is critical to our business, which relies heavily on market recognition and brand reputation. The strength of our brand relies heavily on our ability to consistently provide high-quality, well-designed, reliable, and innovative mechanical massage services, which we cannot guarantee we will achieve. Any consumer complaints or negative publicity, whether stemming from news reports, social media, or online reviews concerning our services, management, employees, or business partners may harm our brand image. Issues related to consumer experience, product quality, service reliability, or data privacy, even if unfounded or insignificant, could adversely affect public perception of our Company.

Given the nature of mechanical massage services, safety and hygiene are paramount concerns of our consumers. Any reports or allegations regarding unsanitary conditions, malfunctioning equipment, or inadequate maintenance could lead to consumer reluctance to use our services. Negative media attention concerning similar services or consumer products could also contribute to reluctance among consumers to engage with our services.

THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

Furthermore, consumer complaints can have a direct negative impact on our operations. If we receive a high volume of complaints, it may indicate underlying issues in our service delivery that need to be addressed. This could necessitate the allocation of substantial resources and time to respond to these complaints, diverting attention from core business operations and leading to increased operational costs. We may find it is challenging to manage such situations to the satisfaction of our consumers and investors, potentially resulting in loss of business and reduced consumer loyalty. If we fail to effectively address negative publicity or consumer complaints, our brand value may diminish, leading to adverse effects on our business operations, consumer retention, and overall financial performance. This could hinder our ability to attract new consumers and expand our market presence.

As competition in the mechanical massage services market increases, the importance of brand recognition becomes even more significant. In addition to offering reliable and services at competitive prices, successful promotion of our brand will depend on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. We mainly utilize online channels to market our brand, including marketing and promotional activities on various online marketing platforms and social media. Word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied consumers also tend to play a crucial role in promoting our brand.

However, we cannot assure you that our selling and marketing expenditures will lead to increased revenue. Even if we do see revenue growth, it may not be sufficient to offset the expenses incurred in promoting our brand. If we fail to effectively maintain and enhance Lemobar “樂摩吧”, our competitive advantages may be compromised, negatively impacting our business and financial performance.

If we are not able to effectively manage our businesses, our expansion and growth in new consumption scenarios, our business and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

During the Track Record Period, our Company has established a sound presence in tier one cities, new tier one cities and tier two cities with a considerable market share in high consumer traffic consumption scenarios such as commercial complexes, cinemas and airports. We recorded total transaction value of RMB555.56 million, RMB909.75 million, RMB1,162.20 million and RMB310.87 million, respectively for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025.

To capitalize on these opportunities, we plan to (i) further increase our penetration rate in the existing major consumption scenarios, including commercial complexes, cinemas and airports; (ii) expand our POS network by introducing our services in more diverse consumption scenarios; and (iii) increase our market presence in cities of different tiers. This expansion requires enhancement of our operational and management systems, as well as the successful integration of our IT infrastructure and IoT technologies. Such initiatives necessitate substantial capital investment and management resources, which we must allocate efficiently.

THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

The economic development level and consumer preferences may differ significantly among different consumption scenarios and geographical locations. For instance, the nature of different consumption scenarios can influence consumers. Our Directors consider that, in terms of mechanical massage services, consumers in tier-one cities, new tier-one cities and tier-two cities often prioritize premium services, brand reputation, and technological innovation, while those in cities of lower tiers may place more emphasis on affordability, accessibility, and practical benefits.

Our ability to understand and adapt to different consumer behaviors will be critical to our success. If we fail to adapt our strategies to effectively address varying unique market conditions, our growth potential may be limited. Therefore, any failure to effectively manage our expansion efforts or to adapt to the complexities of the existing and new markets may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Our results of operation depend on the level of foot traffic and consumption and are thus subject to seasonal fluctuations.

Our financial performance is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which can significantly affect our results of operations.

The third quarter is a typical peak season for the mechanical massage services market, as various consumption scenarios such as commercial complexes and airports experience increased foot traffic due to the summer vacation. Conversely, the fourth quarter represents a typical off-peak season for the mechanical massage services market, as the heavy clothing worn in winter affects the massage experience, and some consumers would find it inconvenient to remove coats in public, which would lead to a decrease in demand for mechanical massage services.

As a result of these seasonal fluctuations, comparisons of transaction value and our results of operations between different periods within a single financial year are not necessarily meaningful, nor can these comparisons be relied upon as indicators of our future performance. Also, should there be a significant reduction in demand for our services in any particular period of any year, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

The reliability and proper operation of our LMB Links and massage equipment are crucial to the effective operation of our mechanical massage services. Any interruption, failure or malfunction could significantly disrupt our business activities, harm our reputation, and reduce customer trust.

Our business relies on the secure and efficient operation of our self-developed LMB Links and mechanical massage equipment procured from external suppliers as we derive revenue primarily from the provision of mechanical massage services. During the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023, 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025, our revenue from the provision of mechanical massage services amounted to RMB316.13 million, RMB567.71 million, RMB782.93 million and RMB217.77 million, respectively, representing 95.75%, 96.74%, 98.11% and 98.51% of our total revenue for the same periods, respectively.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

Our self-developed LMB Links conducts POS management, real-time operations, performance monitoring, order management etc. Each massage equipment in our POS network is connected to LMB Links and as of the Latest Practicable Date, we had more than 535,000 massage equipment, which are procured from external suppliers, within our POS network. Any disruptions in respect of LMB Links and massage equipment due to technical failures, network breakdowns, telecommunication failures, power outages, human error, and natural disasters, maintenance issues, software bugs, cyberattacks, or unforeseen adverse events can hinder the functionality of our LMB Links and massage equipment, may be affected, leading to potential disruptions to our business operations.

Investments to enhance the reliability and security of our LMB Links and technology infrastructure may incur substantial costs, potentially affecting our operating margins. There is no assurance that these investments will successfully mitigate the risks of service interruptions or enhance overall operational reliability. Failure to maintain effective technology infrastructure could lead to regulatory scrutiny and adversely affect our financial condition and growth prospects.

We cannot assure you that future failures or malfunctions in respect of our LMB Links and massage equipment will not occur. Any incidents resulting in system failures or malfunctions of our operational systems or massage equipment could negatively impact our ability to receive orders and payments, which could adversely affect our ability to carry out our business effectively and efficiently, and could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We face risks relating to external stakeholders such as our suppliers service providers or platforms and Local Partners, over which we do not have full control, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on our suppliers to provide a stable supply of massage equipment, chips, and other essential components, which are crucial to our mechanical massage service. We cannot assure that (i) all supplies will be timely, stable, consistent quality and will not be subject to unanticipated interruptions; (ii) production costs will not increase significantly due to factors beyond our control; (iii) the products produced by such external suppliers will not involve any third party infringement; and (iv) these external suppliers do not reveal our procurement plans and business strategies. Our lack of control over these suppliers may lead to operational difficulties, including insufficient quality control, failure to meet supply deadlines, increased costs, and liquidity or solvency issues caused by events beyond our control, such as pandemics, natural disasters, acts of war, and social or economic disruptions. In addition, logistics problems such as delays in transport or increased logistics costs can further exacerbate supply chain challenges. If our suppliers experience logistical difficulties in transporting materials or finished goods, this could result in longer delivery time, which could affect our ability to meet our consumer's needs. We also rely on external service providers for various functions in our business operation, including cloud service, technological infrastructure, payment service and social media platform etc. In addition, Local Partners are responsible for POS operation under the Partner Mode. If these external service providers and Local Partners do not perform


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

adequately, our relationships with these external service providers and Local Partners were to terminate, or the services or operations of any of these external service providers and Local Partners are interrupted, deteriorate or become more costly, we may not be able to locate suitable alternatives on terms and conditions commercially acceptable to us in a timely manner, or at all. In such case, our corresponding business function could be adversely affected, which would have a direct impact on our business performance.

Any loss or deterioration of relationships with our external stakeholders, failure to renegotiate favourable prices, or inability to establish relationships with new external stakeholders would expose us to risks of shortages or unavailability of certain supplies or service. Such disruptions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our performance and goodwill may also be adversely affected by inappropriate actions of any external stakeholders such as suppliers, service providers, our Local Partners, employees, consumers or other third parties, whether individually or in collusion with one another. Such actions could result in significant reputational damage and may expose us to third-party claims and regulatory actions. We cannot assure that our internal control procedures are sufficient to prevent or address all instances of wrongdoing of external stakeholders.

Moreover, the laws and regulations governing such external service providers, such as those in relation to payment services can be complex and constantly changing. Any actual or alleged failure by our external service providers to comply with the applicable rules and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face the risks of Local Partners operating the mechanical massage service business independently after acquiring the necessary knowhow from us.

The Local Partners are responsible for the operation of POS under the Partner Mode while we provide a comprehensive mechanical massage service solution that includes: (i) the establishment and upgrading of the LMB Links; (ii) the development of the Lemobar brand; (iii) providing comprehensive guidance on POS operation and maintenance; (iv) supplying mechanical massage equipment and related spare parts; (v) granting access to the LMB Links for necessary operation of the equipment; and (vi) offering customer service assistance to handle consumer complaints. By sharing our know-how and resources through provision of mechanical massage service solution, we face the risk that the Local Partners may decide to operate the mechanical massage service business independently and potentially become a competitor. In event that the Local Partners leverage the knowledge ad operational expertise gained from us to establish a rival business, our market share and uniqueness of service offerings could be undermined. If we are unable to manage and avoid such risk effectively, it could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

RISK FACTORS

Any failure or perceived failure to comply with data privacy and security laws, or other concerns about our practices or policies with respect to the collection, use, storage, retention, transfer, disclosure and other processing of data, could subject us to potential liabilities.

Our business operations mainly involve the collection, use and storage of data, mainly for the identification of the registered members and the provision of services for them. See "Business — Data Security and Privacy." Accordingly, our business operations are subject to various data privacy and security laws, such as the Data Security Law of the PRC (《中華人民共和國數據安全法》), revised Cybersecurity Review Measures (《網絡安全審查辦法》), the Regulations on the Administration of Cyber Data Security (《網絡數據安全管理條例》), Personal Information Protection Law of the PRC (《中華人民共和國個人信息保護法》) the Administrative Measures on Data Security in the Field of Industry and Information Technology (for Trial Implementation) (《工業和信息化領域數據安全管理辦法(試行)》) and the Method for Identifying the Illegal Collection and Use of Personal Information by Apps (《APP違法違規收集使用個人信息行為認定方法》). See "Regulatory Overview — Regulations Relating to Data, Cyber and Information Security." We may become subject to regulatory requirements regarding data protection and data privacy, which may necessitate adjustments to our data framework and incur additional costs. Any failure or perceived failure to comply with data privacy and security laws, or other concerns about our practices or policies with respect to the collection, use, storage, retention, transfer, disclosure and other processing of data and cybersecurity, could subject us to potential liabilities, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. In addition, our compliance costs and operational complexity may increase in line with our business expansion. Any failure to closely monitor the relevant regulatory evolvements could subject us to potential liabilities, further materially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Systems disruptions, DDoS attacks, or other hacking and phishing attacks on our systems and security breaches may delay or interrupt services to our customers, harm our reputation and subject us to significant liability, which, in turn, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial results.

In the past, we were subject to the potential risk of system disruptions and DDoS attacks. Our infrastructure may be subject to such attacks and breaches in the future and we cannot assure you that any applicable recovery system, security protocol, network protection mechanisms or other defense procedures are, or will be, adequate to prevent such network or service interruptions, system failures or data losses. Additionally, our infrastructure and systems may also be breached if any vulnerabilities therein are exploited by unauthorized third parties. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we have encountered external DDoS attacks targeting our server in Shanghai from December 2024 to May 2025 lasting for cumulative of approximately 7 hours which led to disruptions to our operation mainly including interrupted access to our mini-program for all models of massage equipment for less than two hours in aggregate or interrupted operation of models including X1 to X8. For details, see the section headed "Business — Our Business Model — Our LMB Links" in this document.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

Since techniques used to obtain unauthorized access change frequently and the scale of DDoS, hacking, and phishing attacks are increasing, we may not be able to implement sufficient preventative measures or stop the attacks while they are occurring. A DDoS attack, other hacking and phishing attacks or security breaches could delay or interrupt our services to our customers. Any actual or perceived attacks or security breaches may also damage our reputation and brand, expose us to risks of potential litigation and liabilities, and require us to expend significant capital and other resources to alleviate problems caused by such attacks or security breaches. Should a high-profile or highly publicized security breach occur with respect to other marketing service providers, customers may lose confidence in the security of our service, which would have a material adverse impact on our ability to retain existing customers and attract new ones.

We may fail to develop mechanical massage service techniques that cater to the preferences of all our consumers in a timely and sustained manner.

The mechanical massage services industry is constantly evolving, requiring us to design and develop innovative products that align with shifting consumer preferences. We conduct in-depth research on the specific requirements of mechanical massage service techniques usage and engage in ongoing consumer surveys to uncover core needs in various settings. This information guides our product development effort, including the planning of new features and technologies.

Even if we successfully introduce new massage service techniques, there is a risk that they may not meet consumer demands or gain market acceptance. If our products fail to resonate with consumers or if we cannot keep pace with evolving preferences in a timely and sustained manner, our revenue from mechanical massage services could decline in the short term. This could materially and adversely affect our overall business performance, financial condition, and results of operations.

The effectiveness of our quality control mechanism for our equipment and service is critical to our business success, and any failures in maintaining high standards could significantly harm our reputation and financial performance.

The quality of our mechanical massage services is fundamental to our business success and consumer satisfaction. As we expand our POS, maintaining consistent quality control is essential. This depends on the effectiveness of our quality control mechanisms, which include the design, management, and implementation of guidance for the service provision, cleanliness and functionality of our massage equipment. See "Business — Quality Control" for details.

There can be no assurance that our manufacturer's quality control mechanisms will remain effective. Factors beyond our control, such as the performance of our responsible staff, may impact the quality of the massage equipment. If we fail to uphold high standards in any of these areas, we may face consumer complaints, which could significantly damage our reputation and financial performance.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

Moreover, if quality control issues arise, our management's attention and resources may be diverted from strategic initiatives to address these problems. This shift in focus can hinder our operational efficiency and growth prospects, as time and resources are consumed by rectifying quality-related concerns rather than pursuing new business opportunities. Therefore, any significant failure or deterioration of our quality control mechanisms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our historical financial results may not be an indication of our further performance and our success depends on our ability to execute our business strategy.

We have grown consistently during the Track Record Period, with our total revenue reaching RMB330.15 million, RMB586.84 million, RMB797.99 million, RMB186.76 million and RMB221.07 million for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025 respectively, representing year-on-year growth of 77.75%, 35.98% and period-on-period growth of 18.37%, respectively.

Our results of operations during the Track Record Period should not be considered indicative of our future performance. Our future growth, profitability and cash flows depend upon our ability to successfully execute our business strategies, which is dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to:

  • anticipate and respond to rapidly changing technology development, market trends and consumer preferences;
  • explore, attract and cooperate with Local Partners on favorable terms;
  • develop and enhance our IT system with new functionalities on a timely basis;
  • expand our geographic presence to further extend our consumer reach;
  • enhance and maintain favorable brand recognition for our Group and mechanical massage services;
  • effectively manage our good relationships with external manufacturers and suppliers;
  • maintain and expand margins through sales growth and efficiency initiatives.

There can be no assurance that we can successfully execute our business strategies in the manner or time that we expect. Our financial and operating results may not meet the expectations of [REDACTED] analysts or [REDACTED], which could cause the future [REDACTED] of our H Shares to decline. You should not rely on our historical results to predict our future financial performance.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

We had net current liabilities during the Track Record Period, which may expose us to liquidity risks and affect our ability to achieve or subsequently maintain profitability in the future.

During the Track Record Period, we had recorded net current liabilities as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively, which may expose us to liquidity risks and affect our ability to achieve or subsequently maintain profitability in the future.

We had net current liabilities of RMB17.92 million and RMB31.84 million as at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2023, respectively. The net current liabilities position was mainly attributable to the redemption liability incurred from redemption right of an investor, namely Ma'anshan Cornerstone Yixiang Equity Investment Partnership Enterprise (LLP) ("Cornerstone Yixiang"), who entered into an investment agreement with our Company in December 2017. Pursuant to the aforesaid investment agreement, Cornerstone Yixiang was entitled to require the Company to fully redeem its shares. See note 24 of the Accountants' Report as set out in the Appendix I to this document for details of redemption liability. Given the redemption liability became nil as redemption right has been terminated in 2024, we recorded net current liabilities of RMB15.61 million as at 31 December 2024 compared to net current liabilities of RMB31.84 million as at 31 December 2023. For details, see "Financial Information — Description of Certain Key Items of Consolidated Statements of Financial Position."

In the event that we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow for our operations or otherwise unable to obtain sufficient funds to finance our business, our future sustainable profitability could be affected. There is no assurance that we will have sufficient cash from other sources to fund our operations. If we resort to other financing activities to generate additional cash, we will incur additional financing costs and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain the financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

We have awarded and may continue to award equity instruments under equity incentive plans, which may cause shareholding dilution to our Shareholders and result in increased share-based payments for employees.

In recognition of the contributions of our employees and Local Partners and to incentivize them to further promote our development, we have established various incentive platforms and adopted 2021 Share Incentive Scheme and 2023 Share Incentive Scheme. For details of our incentive platforms, see "History and Corporate Structure — Our Incentive Platforms". For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, we incurred equity-settled share-based payment expenses for employees of RMB2.05 million, RMB7.24 million, RMB5.56 million and RMB1.14 million, respectively. To further incentivize our employees, we may adopt other equity incentive plans and award additional equity incentives. Issuance of Shares with respect to our equity incentive plan may dilute the shareholding of our existing Shareholders and incur substantial share-based payment expenses that could materially and adversely affect our financial performance.

RISK FACTORS

We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving market in mainland China and we face competition.

The significant grown of the mechanical massage services industry in recent years has attracted an increasing number of entrants seeking to capitalize on this opportunity. As a result, we are facing tremendous competitive pressure.

According to Frost & Sullivan, China's mechanical massage service market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.9% from RMB3,101.9 million in 2025 to RMB5,606.3 million in 2029. This rapid development is likely to lead to heightened competition as new players enter the market. At the same time, China's population has shown negative growth in 2022 and 2023, under which competition in the consumer market may also intensify.

Our competitors include established players in health wellness services sector, as well as various health wellness services providers, such as spa and massage clinics, fitness centers offering relaxation services and other retail channels. The presence of these alternatives may reduce consumer demand for mechanical massage services. Increased competition could lead to challenges in maintaining our market share and profitability, requiring greater sales and marketing efforts and capital investments in the future. If we are unable to compete effectively, it could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our performance may be adversely affected by litigation or disputes.

From time to time, we may be involved in disputes with other stakeholders during the ordinary course of our business for various reasons, including but not limited to contract disputes and labor disputes. The handling of contractual disputes and litigation proceedings can be costly and time consuming. Should such disputes arise, our Directors' and members of senior management's attention, together with other internal resources may be significantly diverted to the handling of such matters. Moreover, our relationship with the relevant Local partner, customer, supplier or employee may be adversely affected as a result of the legal proceedings and would ultimately affect our business operation, financial results and profitability. Any claim against us could require us to pay for substantial damages and, whether or not successful, may be costly and time-consuming to defend. Such claims, whether successful or not, could generate significant adverse publicity and negatively impact our reputation. This, in turn, could undermine consumer's trust in our mechanical massage services and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends on our talented personnel. Any failure to attract and retain necessary talents may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation.

Our continued success depends on our ability to attract, motivate and retain talented personnel. We rely on the expertise and experiences of our employees throughout our business operations from service delivery, maintenance, consumer relations and operational management as well as maintaining relationships with our suppliers and customers. Any loss of our key personnel could materially and adversely affect our ability to sustain and develop

RISK FACTORS

our business. We cannot assure that we will be able to recruit or retain a sufficient number of qualified employees for our business. Subject to failure to keep up with market average employee salary levels and other factors, any material increases in employee turnover rates and any failure to recruit and retain sufficient personnel may make our growth strategy difficult to implement. Any of the above would materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

If we fail to maintain the existing scale of our Partner Mode or retain our existing Local Partners or attract new Local Partners, or if the operational management capability of our Local Partners deteriorates or cannot be improved, our POS network expansion plan may be disrupted and their revenue contribution will decrease, and thus our business, financial condition and results of operation may be materially and adversely affected.

Our network of POS is fundamental to our business model. Our revenue is significantly influenced by the number and geographic coverage of our POS, and our future growth depends on our ability to establish new POS and expand our POS network. During the Track Record Period, we engaged Local Partners in sourcing and establishing POS, particularly in regions where penetration is relatively low.

The success of our expansion into these new POS relies on maintaining stable relationships with our existing Local Partners to a certain extent and effectively attracting new ones, as well as the growing operational management capabilities of Local Partners. We collaborate with Local Partners who operate within designated regions to manage and maintain our mechanical massage service. The effectiveness of our Local Partners is crucial to maintaining service quality and operational efficiency. If any Local Partners face financial difficulties or fail to execute their responsibilities effectively, it could result in decreased revenue and service disruptions. Such challenges may also lead to a negative impact on consumer satisfaction and brand reputation.

Furthermore, we cannot ensure consistent performance across all partnerships. Should a POS partner's performance decline, we may need to allocate additional resources for oversight and management, which can affect our operational costs and margins. In instances where Local Partners do not meet the expected operational standards, we may consider establishing direct operations in those regions, creating potential overlaps and increased competition within our business framework. This transition could also necessitate additional investment and management focus, diverting resources from other strategic initiatives. Therefore, the risks associated with our Partner Mode, including the operational performance and financial stability of our Local Partners, could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to retain our existing Local Partners or attract new ones, or if the operational management of Local Partners is difficult to improve or deteriorate, we may not be able to sustain or expand our network of POS. Additionally, if our Local Partners reduce their business scale, our expansion plans could be disrupted, leading to a decline in their revenue contributions. This could materially and adversely affect our overall business performance, financial condition and operational results.

RISK FACTORS

We face risks related to consumers improperly occupying massage equipment positions without payment.

There exists a risk that consumers may improperly occupy massage equipment positions without making the required payment, for example, occupying positions without payment for a long time, or causing hygiene problems of massage equipment due to non-payment occupancy or intentionally damaging the equipment. Such behavior can result in revenue loss, as the improper occupancy represents a direct reduction in potential income. Furthermore, non-paying consumers who improperly occupy the massage equipment can disrupt business operations by increasing waiting time for paying consumers, ultimately leading to diminished consumers satisfaction and loyalty.

To help manage occupancy and streamline operations, our massage equipment are equipped with an anti-seat-occupying function that activates when payment is not received after a certain period. This feature is part of our ongoing efforts to minimize costs associated with non-payment. However, the prevalence of non-payment and improper occupancy may still lead to heightened maintenance costs, as massage equipment improperly occupied without payment may require more frequent cleaning and oversight. This increased operational burden can divert resources away from core business activities and hinder overall efficiency.

Considering that the issue of non-payment and improper occupancy is difficult to eradicate, in the event that we need to make further operational adjustments as a result of this matter, it may increase costs and negatively impact profitability, which could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Ensuring the safety of our massage equipment is essential, and any safety-related incidents could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We have adopted certain safety measures in respect of our massage equipment and sites, please refer to "Businesses — Our Business Segments — Mechanical massage service — Direct Mode and Partner Mode — Direct Mode "and "Businesses — Quality control" for details.

However, we cannot assure that all safety risks have been fully mitigated. Factors beyond our control, such as improper usage by consumers or unforeseen technical malfunctions, may still lead to incidents. Any safety-related events involving our massage equipment could result not only in potential harm to consumers but also in adverse effects on our reputation and consumers' trust. A significant safety issue could lead to negative publicity, regulatory scrutiny, and financial liabilities, ultimately impacting our business, financial performance and results of operations.

RISK FACTORS

Moreover, considering that safety-related incidents are difficult to eradicate and may lead to consumer complaints, potential litigation risks, and reputational damage. These outcomes could affect our ability to attract and retain consumers. Therefore, while we are committed to upholding the highest safety standards, we cannot guarantee that all risks will be eliminated, and any safety-related incidents could adversely impact our business, financial performance, and results of operations.

We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims and piracy from third parties, which could be costly to defend and disrupt our business operations.

From time to time, we may face exposure to claims alleging that our mechanical massage services and other businesses infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. This could include allegation of trademark, copyright, or patent infringement or piracy related to the design, functionality, or branding of our products. Such claims may arise from competitors or other entities asserting our products mimic their proprietary technologies or trademarks.

There is no assurance that our internal guidelines and procedures are sufficient to prevent such claims. If we are unable to effectively address these allegations, it could result in significant reputational harm, legal expenses, and operational disruptions. Any legal proceedings or claims related to intellectual property could divert the time and attention of our management from running our business and may result in substantial costs. Regardless of the outcome of such claims, our brand image and reputation may be negatively impacted, potentially adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, which could harm the value of our brand and adversely affect our business.

We rely heavily on a combination of trademarks, patents, domain name registrations, copyrights and confidentiality agreements to protect our intellectual property rights. We also possess a significant number of know-how or trade secrets in relation to technologies, which we believe are material to our operations and which are not covered by patents. There protections are critical for safeguarding the unique features, design, and technology of our mechanical massage equipment, which are material to our competitive advantage.

We cannot assure that our intellectual property will be fully protected against counterfeit or unauthorized use. There is a risk that counterfeit versions of our mechanical massage equipment may emerge in the market, potentially featuring imitations of our patented technologies or designs. Such counterfeits can be difficult to detect and eliminate promptly, leading to potential harm to our brand value and adversely affecting our sales and market position.

We cannot guarantee that our protective measures in place will be sufficient to prevent unauthorized use, misappropriation, or disclosure of our trade secrets and know-how related to our mechanical massage technologies. Additionally, we may encounter challenges in enforcing our intellectual property rights or pursuing legal action against unauthorized consumers.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

Any litigation aimed at protecting our intellectual property can be time-consuming and costly, potentially diverting the attention of our senior management and key personnel from our core business operations. If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights from infringement or misuse, the resulting damage to our brand reputation could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Confidentiality agreements and non-compete covenants with employees and other third parties may not adequately prevent the disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information.

We have devoted substantial resources to the development of our technology and know-how. Although we enter into employment agreements with confidentiality, non-compete covenants and intellectual property ownership clauses with our employees, we cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach in time or at all, or that our proprietary technology, know-how or other intellectual property will not otherwise become known to third parties. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information, limiting our ability to assert any proprietary rights against such parties. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive position.

We are exposed to the risks associated with doing business internationally.

As we plan to further expand our provision of mechanical massage services to overseas markets, particularly in the Asian region, we may need to adapt our business models to meet local legal requirements and market conditions. See "Business — Our Business Strategies." This expansion could lead to increased operational costs and is subject to various risks, including different cost structure, heightened competition, uncertain enforcement of our intellectual property rights, and unfamiliar market dynamics.

Our overseas operations are also subject to additional inherent risks of conducting business abroad, such as:

  • inability to anticipate foreign consumers' evolving preferences and tastes;
  • challenges, changes or uncertainties in navigating economic, legal, regulatory, social, political, religious and geopolitical complexities in these international markets, or international relations;
  • interpretation and application of laws and regulations, including licensing, approvals, permits, tax, tariffs, labor, merchandise and privacy laws and regulations, as well costs and other burdens of complying with a wide variety of local laws and regulations;

THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

  • challenges in handling the different competition landscape and possibility of heightened competition with the existing market players in such overseas regions;
  • the enforceability of intellectual property and contract rights under different legal systems;
  • limitations on the repatriation of funds and foreign currency exchange restrictions due to current or new local regulations;
  • challenges in recruiting and retaining high-quality employees in overseas markets; and
  • challenges in securing desirable locations for POS establishment.

International operations may present challenges such as varying pricing environments. For instance, the pricing and profitability of our mechanical massage service may be lowered in other Asian regions. Additionally, we might face increased financial accounting and reporting burdens, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, and complexities related to compliance with both PRC laws and foreign laws and regulations.

Moreover, our expansion could be significantly impacted by other risks associated with international activities including, but not limited to, economic and labor conditions, increased duties, taxes and other costs and political instability. The provision of our services in overseas markets could be materially and adversely affected by international trade regulations, including duties, tariffs and other restrictions that may apply to our operations. These regulations can impact our ability to deliver our services effectively and profitably. Furthermore, we are also exposed to credit and collectability risk on our trade receivables with customers in certain international markets. There can be no assurance that we can effectively manage our credit risk or avoid potential losses as we navigate these new markets.

Our overseas business is susceptible to unfavourable shifts in economic environment and regulations where we operate, in particular those relating to our industry and environmental protection.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, in addition to our business operation in China, we had commenced cooperation with a local market player in Thailand to carry out mechanical massage services as our first move into the overseas market. While we intend to expand our overseas operation continuously, our business has to comply with relevant laws and regulations in any overseas regions where we operate, and is significantly influenced by government policies and regulations prevailing in such overseas regions. Any unfavourable shifts in these policies would as well negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

Since the operation of our POS may generate a certain level of energy consumption, our operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations of jurisdictions where we operate, including Thailand, which may impose stringent standards on waste management and air pollutants. Potential changes in the scope, application and interpretation of environmental laws and regulations as well as a higher degree of governmental oversight may cause us to incur high costs on installation of additional pollution control or other related expenses, adversely affecting our business, financial condition and operating results. On the other hand, failure to meet the applicable environmental standards could lead to serious penalties, sanctions, and liabilities as well as substantial costs in connection with remedial measures which may also materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our risk management and internal control systems may not be adequate or effective.

We have designed and implemented risk management and internal control systems comprising organizational framework policies and procedures, financial reporting processes, compliance rules and risk management measures we believe are appropriate for our business operations. While we seek to improve our risk management and internal control systems on a continuous basis, we cannot assure you that these systems are sufficiently effective in establishment and maintenance of internal control measures to ensure, among other things, accurate reporting of our financial results and the prevention, elimination and discovery of fraud. See "Business — Risk Management and Internal Control" for further information on our internal control policies. Since our risk management and internal control systems depend on implementation by our employees, we cannot assure you that our employees are sufficiently or fully trained to implement these systems, or that their implementation will be free from error or mistakes. If we fail to timely update, implement, and modify, or fail to deploy sufficient human resources to maintain our risk management policies and procedures, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Failure to make adequate social insurance and housing provident fund contributions as required by the PRC laws and regulations may subject us to penalties.

During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we did not make full contributions to the social insurance and housing provident funds for our employees in the PRC.

According to the Social Insurance Law of the PRC (《中華人民共和國社會保險法》), which was promulgated on 28 October 2010 and amended on 29 December 2018, and the Interim Regulations on Collection and Payment of Social Insurance Premiums (《社會保險費徵繳暫行條例》) recently amended by the State Council and effective on 24 March 2019, an employer is required to make contributions to social insurance schemes for its employees, including basic pension insurance, basic medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance and work-related injury insurance. If the employer fails to make social insurance contributions in full and on time, the social insurance authorities may demand the employer make payments or supplementary payments for the unpaid social insurance premium

RISK FACTORS

within a prescribed time limit together with a 0.05% late payment penalty of the unpaid social insurance premium from the due date. If the payment is not made within such time limit, the relevant administrative authorities will impose a fine ranging from one to three times the total outstanding amount.

According to the Administrative Regulations on Housing Provident Funds (《住房公積金管理條例》), which was promulgated on 3 April 1999 and last amended on 24 March 2019, employers are required to make contributions to housing provident funds for their employees. Any entity fails to make payment of housing provident fund within the time limit or has shortfall in payment of housing provident fund will be ordered to make the payment or makeup the shortfall within the prescribed time limit, otherwise, the housing provident management center is entitled to apply for compulsory enforcement with the People's Court.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have not received any notification from the relevant in mainland China authorities requiring us to pay shortfalls or the penalties with respect to social insurance and housing provident funds. There is no assurance that there will not be any employee complaint against us in relation to our failure to make full social insurance and housing provident fund contributions. There is also no assurance that we will not be ordered to rectify for the outstanding amount or subject to penalties imposed by the relevant PRC authorities as a result thereof. Any such complaints, orders or penalties may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. For details, see "Business — Legal Proceedings and Regulatory Compliance — Non-compliance — Social Insurance and Housing Provident Funds."

Defects related to certain of our properties may adversely affect our ability to use such properties.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, some of our leased properties, the lessors of such leased properties had not been able to obtain or provide us with sufficient and valid building ownership certificates for some of our leased properties. See "Business — Properties."

If our lessors are not the owners of the properties or they have not been authorised by the relevant owners of the properties for leasing such properties, our leases could be invalidated. If this occurs, we may face challenges from the legal owners of the properties or other third parties, and may be forced to vacate the relevant properties and relocate to a different site. We may incur additional expenses during the process, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected.

RISK FACTORS

In addition, some lease agreements with landlords have not been registered with the relevant government authorities as required in mainland China by PRC Law. According to the Administrative Measures for Commodity House Leasing (《商品房屋租賃管理辦法》) promulgated on 1 December 2010 with effect on 1 February 2011, the parties to the house leasing shall sign a lease contract according to laws, and the lease contract shall be registered with the relevant construction or real estate authorities at the city or county level within 30 days after its signing. If the parties involved in the house leasing fail to go through the registration and filing procedures or violate the above regulations, the parties involved in the house leasing will be ordered to make corrections, and if they fail to make corrections within the time limit, they will be fined.

We have limited insurance coverage, which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.

We cannot assure that our insurance coverage will be sufficient or available to cover damages, liabilities or losses we may incur in the ordinary course of our business. In addition, there are certain losses for which insurance is not available on commercially practicable terms, such as losses or damages arising from any disruption in our network infrastructure or business operations, litigation or natural disasters. If we are held responsible for any losses or damages and there is insufficiency or unavailability of insurance, we could suffer significant costs and diversion of our resources, and thereby materially and adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operation.

We have historically received government grants, which we may not be able to receive in the future.

We have historically received government grants from local governments in the PRC specifically financial subsidies for being recognized as a high-tech enterprise. These grants have supported our research and development activities and have rewarded our contributions to regional economic development. During the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023, 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025, we recognized government grants as other net income/(loss) of RMB554,000, RMB317,000, RMB73,000 and RMB260,000, respectively. See "Financial Information — Description of Major Components in Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income — Other net income/(loss)" and Note 5 to the Accountants' Report in Appendix I to this document.

Our eligibility for government grants depends on a variety of factors, including the assessment of our technological advancements, relevant government policies, the availability of funding from different granting authorities, and the research and development progress made by other peer companies. The timing, amount and criteria of government grants are determined by the local government authorities and cannot be influenced by us or predicted with certainty before we actually receive them. Furthermore, some of the government financial incentives may be granted on a project basis and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including compliance with the applicable financial incentive agreements and successful completion of the designated projects. We cannot guarantee that we will satisfy all relevant conditions, and

  • 59 -

THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

if we fail to satisfy any such conditions, we may be deprived of the relevant grants. Therefore, the government grants we currently receive have a non-recurring nature, and we cannot assure you of the continued availability. Any reduction or elimination of such government grants would have an adverse effect on our financial performance and results of operations.

We face risks related to natural disasters, epidemics and other public health emergencies.

Substantially all of our POS are situated at high consumer traffic sites, including commercial complexes, airports, cinemas and high-speed rail stations in mainland China. These locations are vulnerable to various force majeure events, accidents such as floods and fires, acts of war, terrorist attacks, restrictions on utility consumption, natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, snowstorms, sandstorms, droughts and extreme and adverse bad weather conditions, widespread of public health problems such as outbreak of pandemics or epidemics, including avian influenza, swine influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome or other health problems with similar magnitude or effects which are out of control.

For instance, natural disasters can lead to temporary or permanent closures of our POS, disrupting our operations and expansion plans. Additionally, public health emergencies can reduce consumer traffic and limit access to our services, resulting in significant declines in revenue. We recognize that future outbreaks of natural disasters could create uncertainties for our operations. During the Track Record Period, our POS operations and financial condition were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of temporary closure of our various POS and suspension in our POS expansion efforts due to the travel and mobility restrictions, we recorded significantly lower gross profit, net profit and adjusted net profit (Non-IFRS measure) in 2022, which was in line with the industry trend under the impact of COVID-19. In particular, our gross profit and net profit dropped by over 30% and 70%, respectively, as compared to those in 2021. See "Financial Information — Impact of COVID-19." Such events may adversely impact overall business sentiment, potentially leading to reduced consumer demand and negatively affecting our financial condition and results of operations. We cannot predict the extent to which future public health emergencies or natural disasters may impact our business. Therefore, there is no assurance that we will be able to navigate these challenges without significant adverse effects.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN THE COUNTRIES AND REGIONS WHERE WE OPERATE

The policy and regulation on the remittance of Renminbi into and out of the PRC and governmental control of currency conversion may limit our foreign exchange transactions, including our ability to pay dividends and other obligations, and may affect the value of your investment.

Currently, the conversion and remittance of foreign currencies from Renminbi are subject to PRC foreign exchange regulations. It cannot be guaranteed that under a certain exchange rate, we will have sufficient foreign exchange to meet our foreign exchange requirements. Under the current PRC foreign exchange management system, foreign exchange transactions

RISK FACTORS

under the current account conducted by us, including the payment of dividends, do not require advance approval from the SAFE, but we are required to present documentary evidence of such transactions and conduct such transactions at designated foreign exchange banks within China that have the licenses to carry out foreign exchange business. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account conducted by us, however, must be approved in advance by the SAFE.

Under existing foreign exchange regulations, following the completion of the [REDACTED], we will be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies without prior approval from the SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the foreign exchange policies regarding payment of dividends in foreign currencies may change in the future. In addition, any insufficiency of foreign exchange may restrict our ability to obtain sufficient foreign exchange for dividend payments to shareholders or to satisfy any other foreign exchange requirements. If we fail to obtain approval from the SAFE to convert Renminbi into any foreign exchange for any of the above purposes, our capital expenditure plans, and even our business, operating results and financial condition, may be materially and adversely affected.

Our operations are subject to and may be affected by changes in PRC tax laws and regulations.

We are subject to periodic examinations on fulfillment of our tax obligation under the PRC tax laws and regulations by PRC tax authorities. We cannot assure you that future examinations by PRC tax authorities would not result in fines, other penalties or action that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as our reputation. Furthermore, PRC tax laws and regulations may be adjusted. The PRC tax laws and regulations may change in the future and may also have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Gains on the sales of H Shares and dividends on the H Shares may be subject to PRC income taxes.

Under applicable PRC tax laws, both the dividends we pay to non-PRC resident individual holders of H shares ("Non-Resident Individual Holders"), and gains realized through the sale or transfer by other means of H shares by such shareholders, are subject to PRC individual income tax at a rate of 20%, unless reduced by applicable tax treaties or arrangements. Also, the dividends we pay to, and gains realized through the sale or transfer by other means of H shares by non-PRC resident enterprise holders of H shares are both subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 10%, unless reduced by applicable tax treaties or arrangements. In addition, pursuant to the Arrangements between the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Incomes (《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》)dated 21 August 2006, any non-resident enterprise registered in Hong Kong that holds directly at least 25% of the shares of our Company shall pay enterprise income tax for the dividends declared and paid by us at a tax rate of 5%.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

With respect to Non-Resident Individual Holders, income received from dividends and bonuses of a foreign-invested enterprise, as well as that from transfer of stocks of listed companies are currently exempt from individual income tax pursuant to applicable PRC regulations. On 3 February 2013, the State Council approved and promulgated the Notice of Suggestions to Deepen the Reform of System of Income Distribution (《國務院轉批發展改革委等部門關於深化收入分配制度改革若干意見的通知》). On 8 February 2013, the General Office of the State Council promulgated the Circular Concerning Allocation of Key Works to Deepen the Reform of System of Income Distribution (《國務院辦公廳關於深化收入分配制度改革重點工作分工的通知》). According to these two documents, the PRC government is planning to cancel foreign individuals' tax exemption for dividends obtained from foreign-invested enterprises, and the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation should be responsible for making and implementing details of such plan. There is no assurance that any gains on the sales of our H Shares and the dividend thereon will not be subject to PRC income taxes in the future.

It may be difficult to effect service of process upon us or our Directors, Supervisors or executive officers who reside in China or to enforce against them in China any judgments obtained from non-PRC courts.

Most of our executive Directors, Supervisors and executive officers reside within China, and substantially all of our assets are located within China. Similar to the difficulties faced by most of the countries around the world on effecting service of process and enforcing judgment obtained from foreign countries, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process upon us or our executive Directors, Supervisors and officers inside China or to enforce against us or them in China any judgments obtained from non-PRC courts.

China does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts of many other countries and regions. Therefore, recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of a court in any of these non-PRC jurisdictions in relation to any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult or impossible.

We are subject to national and local laws and regulations and any new policies that govern our industry practices, which may incur substantial costs for compliance purpose.

We are subject to a number of national and local laws and regulations and any new policies that govern our industry practices. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we were not fully compliant with these requirements and experienced two isolated immaterial issues relating to fire control. As requirements imposed by such laws and regulations may change and more stringent laws or regulations adopted, we may not be able to accurately predict any potential substantial cost of complying with, these laws and regulations. We may be required to incur substantial costs to comply with current or future health and safety directive laws and regulations. These current or future laws and regulations may impair our research and development efforts. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATED TO THE [REDACTED]

There has been no prior [REDACTED] for our H Shares and there can be no assurance that an active market would develop, and the liquidity and [REDACTED] of our H Shares may be volatile.

Prior to the completion of the [REDACTED], there has been no [REDACTED] for our H Shares. There can be no guarantee that an active [REDACTED] market for our H Shares will develop or be sustained after the completion of the [REDACTED]. The [REDACTED] is the result of negotiations between our Company and the [REDACTED] (for themselves and on behalf of the [REDACTED]), which may not be indicative of the price at which our H Shares will be [REDACTED] following completion of the [REDACTED]. The [REDACTED] of our H Shares may drop below the [REDACTED] at any time after the completion of the [REDACTED].

We have applied for [REDACTED] of and permission to [REDACTED] our H Shares on the Stock Exchange. A [REDACTED] on the Stock Exchange, however, does not guarantee that an active and liquid [REDACTED] market for the H Shares will develop, or if it does develop, that it will be sustained following the [REDACTED], or that the [REDACTED] of the H Shares will not decline following the [REDACTED]. In addition, the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] of the H Shares may be subject to significant volatility in response to various factors beyond our control, including the general market conditions of the securities in Hong Kong and elsewhere in the world. In particular, the business and performance and the [REDACTED] of the shares of other companies engaging in similar business may affect the price and [REDACTED] of our H Shares. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and [REDACTED] of our H Shares may be highly volatile for specific business reasons, such as regulatory developments affecting the relevant markets, industries and other related matters, fluctuations in our revenue, earnings, cash flows, investments and expenditures, relationships with our customers and suppliers, movements or activities of key personnel, or actions taken by competitors.

Future sales or perceived sales of substantial amounts of our H Shares in the [REDACTED] could have a material adverse effect on the price of our H Shares and our ability to raise additional capital in the future.

The [REDACTED] of our H Shares could decline as a result of future sales of a substantial number of our H Shares or other securities relating to our H Shares in the [REDACTED], or the issuance of new shares or other securities, or the perception that such sales or issuances may occur. Future sales, or anticipated sales, of substantial amounts of our securities, including any future [REDACTED], could also materially and adversely affect our ability to raise [REDACTED] 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 [REDACTED] by us may also confer rights and privileges that take priority over those conferred by the H Shares.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

You will incur immediate and significant dilution and raising additional capital may cause further dilution or restrict our operation.

The [REDACTED] of the H Shares 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 our Shareholders after the creditors' claims. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a shareholder. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, limitations on our ability to acquire or license intellectual property rights or declaring dividends, or other operating restrictions.

Our Controlling Shareholders have significant influence over us and their interests may not always be aligned with the interest of our other Shareholders.

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. In addition, without the consent of our Controlling Shareholders, we could be prevented from entering into certain transactions that could be beneficial to us. This concentration of ownership may also discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our Company, which could deprive our Shareholders of an opportunity to receive a [REDACTED] for the Shares as part of a sale of our Company and may significantly reduce the price of our H Shares.

Payment of dividends is subject to restrictions under PRC law.

Under PRC law, dividends may be paid only out of distributable profit, for which the PRC laws do not specify the applicable accounting principles. Distributable profit 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. Any distributable profit not distributed in a given year is retained and available for distribution in subsequent years. Please refer to "Financial Information — Dividend" for details. We may not adopt the same dividend policy as we had in the past.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

RISK FACTORS

In addition, we are required to comply with the dividend distribution rules prescribed by the PRC regulatory authorities when determining our dividend payout ratios. The PRC regulatory authorities may further amend the dividend distribution rules for listed companies in the future, which may significantly affect the amount of capital available to support the development and growth of our business.

Moreover, as the calculation of distributable profits under PRC GAAP is different from the calculation under IFRS in certain respects, our subsidiaries may not have distributable profits as determined under PRC GAAP, even if they have profits for that year as determined under IFRS, or vice versa. Accordingly, we may not receive sufficient distributions from our subsidiaries. Failure by our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us could have a negative impact on our cash flows and our ability to make dividend distributions to our Shareholders in the future, including those periods in which our financial statements indicate that our operations have been profitable.

We cannot assure you that we will declare and distribute any amount of dividends in the future.

There can be no assurance that we will declare and pay dividends because the declaration, payment and amount of dividends are subject to the discretion of our Directors, depending on, among other considerations, our operations, earnings, cash flows and financial position, operating and capital expenditure requirements, our strategic plans and prospects for business development, our constitutional documents and applicable law. See "Financial Information — Dividend" for more details on dividend.

The future conversion of Unlisted Shares into H Shares upon completion of the [REDACTED] could increase the supply of H Shares in the market and may negatively impact the [REDACTED] of our H Shares.

Our Unlisted Shares are currently not [REDACTED] or traded on any stock exchange. We have applied for the conversion of Unlisted Shares into H Shares. The conversion of Unlisted Shares into H Shares has been approved by the CSRC on [●] 2025. Upon completion of the [REDACTED], these Unlisted Shares will be converted into H Shares on a one-for-one basis. See "History and Corporate Structure" and "Share Capital — Conversion of Unlisted Shares into H Shares" for details. The conversion of our Unlisted Shares will increase the number of H Shares available on the market. As a result, it may negatively affect the [REDACTED] of our H Shares due to the increased supply in the market.

WAIVERS FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE LISTING RULES

In preparation for the [REDACTED], our Company has sought the following waivers from strict compliance with the relevant provisions of the Listing Rules.

WAIVER IN RESPECT OF MANAGEMENT PRESENCE IN HONG KONG

Pursuant to Rule 8.12 and Rule 19A.15 of the Listing Rules, we must have a sufficient management presence in Hong Kong. This normally means that at least two of our executive Directors must be ordinarily resident in Hong Kong. Rule 19A.15 of the Listing Rules further provides that the requirement in Rule 8.12 of the Listing Rules may be waived by the Stock Exchange in its discretion.

Since our Group's headquarters and our principal business operations are based, managed and conducted in the PRC, and all of our executive Directors and senior management members spend the majority of their time supervising our Group's principal business operations in the PRC and do not ordinarily reside in Hong Kong. Given that (i) our Group's principal business and operations are located, managed and conducted in the PRC through our PRC operating subsidiaries; (ii) none of our executive Directors is a Hong Kong permanent resident or is ordinarily based in Hong Kong; and (iii) our executive Directors will continue to be based in the PRC after the [REDACTED] to manage our business, our Company does not, and will not, in the foreseeable future, have a sufficient management presence in Hong Kong as required under Rules 8.12 and 19A.15 of the Listing Rules. As such, we do not, and in the foreseeable future will not, have a sufficient management presence in Hong Kong for the purpose of satisfying the requirements under Rule 8.12 and Rule 19A.15 of the Listing Rules.

Accordingly, we have applied to the Stock Exchange for, [and the Stock Exchange has agreed to grant,] a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 8.12 and Rule 19A.15 of the Listing Rules. The following arrangements have been made for maintaining regular and effective communication with the Stock Exchange:

(a) we have appointed and will continue to maintain two authorized representatives pursuant to Rule 3.05 of the Listing Rules, who will act as our principal channel of communication with the Stock Exchange. The two appointed authorized representatives are Mr. Han Daohu (韓道虎), Chairman of our Board and our non-executive Director, and Ms. Zheng Huiyu (鄭慧鈺), one of our joint company secretaries. Although Mr. Han Daohu and Ms. Zheng Huiyu reside in the PRC, they process valid travel documents to visit Hong Kong and are able to renew such travel documents when they expire. In addition, the contact details of the two authorized representatives (including the office and mobile phone numbers, email addresses, correspondence address and facsimile numbers (if available)) have been provided to the Stock Exchange. Accordingly, each of the two authorized representatives of our Company will be readily contactable by the Stock Exchange by telephone, facsimile (if applicable) and/or email to deal promptly with enquiries from the Stock Exchange and will be available to meet with the Stock Exchange within a reasonable period of time upon the request of the Stock Exchange. Our Company will also inform the Stock Exchange promptly in respect of any changes in the authorized representatives and/or their contact details. Both of our authorized representatives are authorized to communicate on our behalf with the Stock Exchange;

WAIVERS FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE LISTING RULES

(b) each of the two authorized representatives of our Company has means to contact all members of the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) promptly at all times when the Stock Exchange wishes to contact the Directors for any matters. Each of the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) has provided his/her contact details (including their respective office and mobile phone numbers, email addresses and facsimile numbers (if available)) to the authorized representatives and the Stock Exchange pursuant to Rule 3.20 of the Listing Rules. Our authorized representatives have means for contacting all Directors promptly at all times as and when the Stock Exchange wishes to contact the Directors for any matters (including means to communicate with the Directors when they are travelling). Each of our Directors who is not ordinarily resident in Hong Kong either possesses, or can apply for, valid travel documents to visit Hong Kong in order to meet with the Stock Exchange within a reasonable period upon the Stock Exchange's request. In addition, the Directors will provide valid phone numbers or means of communication to the authorized representatives in the event that they expect to travel and/or be out of office, and make themselves readily contactable by the authorized representatives;

(c) our Company has, in accordance with Rule 3A.19 of the Listing Rules, also appointed Red Solar Capital Limited as our compliance adviser upon [REDACTED], who will act as an additional channel of communication with the Stock Exchange. The compliance adviser will advise on-going compliance requirements and other issues arising under the Listing Rules and other applicable laws and regulations in Hong Kong for a period commencing on the [REDACTED] at least until the date on which our Company complies with Rule 13.46 of the Listing Rules in respect of our Company's financial results for the first full financial year after the [REDACTED]. Our Company will inform the Stock Exchange promptly of any changes of our compliance adviser. The compliance adviser will also be available to respond to enquiries from the Stock Exchange. We will ensure that the compliance adviser has prompt access to our Company's authorized representatives and Directors who will provide the compliance adviser with such information and assistance as the compliance adviser may need or may reasonably request in connection with the performance of the compliance adviser's duties;

(d) our Company will appoint other professional advisers (including legal advisers and accountants) to advise our Company on ongoing compliance requirements and other issues arising under the Listing Rules and other applicable laws and regulations in Hong Kong after the [REDACTED]; and

(e) meetings between the Stock Exchange and our Directors could be arranged through our authorized representatives, our compliance adviser, the company secretary, or directly with our Directors within a reasonable time frame.

WAIVERS FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE LISTING RULES

WAIVER IN RESPECT OF JOINT COMPANY SECRETARIES

Pursuant to Rule 3.28 and Rule 8.17 of the Listing Rules, we must appoint an individual as the company secretary of our Company who, by virtue of his or her academic or professional qualifications or relevant experience, is, in the opinion of the Stock Exchange, capable of discharging the functions of company secretary.

Pursuant to Note 1 to Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules, the Stock Exchange considers the following academic or professional qualifications to be acceptable:

(i) a member of The Hong Kong Chartered Governance Institute;

(ii) a solicitor or barrister as defined in the Legal Practitioners Ordinance (Chapter 159 of the Laws of Hong Kong); and

(iii) a certified public accountant as defined in the Professional Accountants Ordinance (Chapter 50 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

Pursuant to Note 2 to Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules, in assessing "relevant experience", the Stock Exchange will consider the individual's:

(i) length of employment with the issuer and other issuers and the roles he/she played;

(ii) familiarity with the Listing Rules and other relevant law and regulations including the SFO, Companies Ordinance, Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance and the Takeovers Code;

(iii) relevant training taken and/or to be taken in addition to the minimum requirement under Rule 3.29 of the Listing Rules; and

(iv) professional qualifications in other jurisdictions.

Pursuant to Chapter 3.10, paragraphs 12 and 13 of the Guide, the Stock Exchange will consider a waiver application by an issuer in relation to Rule 3.28 and Rule 8.17 of the Listing Rules based on the specific facts and circumstances. Factors that will be considered by the Stock Exchange include:

(i) whether the issuer has principal business activities primarily outside Hong Kong;

(ii) whether the issuer was able to demonstrate the need to appoint a person who does not have the Acceptable Qualification (as defined under Chapter 3.10 of the Guide) nor Relevant Experience (as defined under Chapter 3.10 of the Guide) as a company secretary; and

  • 70 -

THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

WAIVERS FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE LISTING RULES

(iii) why the directors consider the individual to be suitable to act as the issuer's company secretary.

Further, pursuant to Chapter 3.10 of the Guide, such waiver, if granted, will be for a fixed period of time (the "Waiver Period") and on the following conditions:

(i) the proposed 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 a joint company secretary throughout the Waiver Period; and

(ii) the waiver can be revoked if there are material breaches of the Listing Rules by the issuer.

Our Company has appointed Ms. Zheng Huiyu (鄭慧鈺), as one of our joint company secretaries. Ms. Zheng has over four years of experience in legal affairs and is familiar with the internal administration procedures and our Group's day-to-day affairs but presently does not possess any of the qualifications under Rule 3.28 and Rule 8.17 of the Listing Rules, and may not be able to solely fulfill the requirements of the Listing Rules. Therefore, we have appointed Ms. Lee Li Li (李莉莉), who is a fellow of both The Hong Kong Chartered Governance Institute and The Chartered Governance Institute in the United Kingdom, and meets the requirements stipulated under Rule 3.28 and Rule 8.17 of the Listing Rules to act as the other joint company secretary and to provide assistance to Ms. Zheng for an initial period of three years from the [REDACTED] to enable Ms. Zheng to acquire the "relevant experience" under Note 2 to Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules so as to fully comply with the requirements set forth under Rule 3.28 and Rule 8.17 of the Listing Rules. Apart from discharging her functions in her role as one of the joint company secretaries of our Company, Ms. Lee will work closely and assist Ms. Zheng in enabling her to acquire the relevant company secretary experience as required under Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules and to become familiar with the requirements of the Listing Rules and other applicable Hong Kong laws and regulations. In addition, Ms. Zheng will attend relevant professional training during each financial year as required under Rule 3.29 of the Listing Rules. See "Directors, Supervisors and Senior Management" for further biographical details of Ms. Zheng and Ms. Lee.

WAIVERS FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE LISTING RULES

Accordingly, we have applied to the Stock Exchange for, and the Stock Exchange [has granted] us, a waiver from strict compliance with the requirements under Rule 3.28 and Rule 8.17 of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to Chapter 3.10 of the Guide issued by the Stock Exchange, the waiver is granted on the following conditions:

(i) Ms. Zheng must be assisted by Ms. Lee, who possesses all the requisite qualifications and experience required under Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules and is appointed as a joint company secretary throughout the three-year waiver period. Ms. Lee will work closely with Ms. Zheng to jointly discharge duties and responsibilities as joint company secretaries and assist Ms. Zheng in acquiring the relevant experience as required under Note 2 to Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules. In addition, we will ensure Ms. Zheng has access to relevant training and support to familiarize herself with the Listing Rules and the duties required for a company secretary of a company [REDACTED] on the Stock Exchange; and

(ii) the waiver will be revoked if there are material breaches of the Listing Rules by our Company.

The waiver is valid for an initial period of three years from the [REDACTED]. Before the end of such a three-year period, the qualifications and experience of Ms. Zheng and the need for on-going assistance of Ms. Lee will be further evaluated by our Company. We will liaise with the Stock Exchange to enable it to assess whether Ms. Zheng, having benefited from the assistance of Ms. Lee for the preceding three years, will have acquired the skills necessary to carry out the duties of company secretary and the relevant experience within the meaning of Rule 3.28 and Rule 8.17 of the Listing Rules and decide whether a further waiver will be necessary.

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

We have entered into, and are expected to continue certain transactions which will constitute continuing connected transactions of our Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules upon the [REDACTED]. We have applied for, and the Stock Exchange [has granted,] waivers from strict compliance with the requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules in relation to certain continuing connected transactions between us and certain connected person.

ANALYSIS OF CHINA'S HEALTH AND WELLNESS MARKET

Introduction of China's Health and Wellness Market

The health and wellness market (大健康市場) refers to a comprehensive sector centered around health, encompassing segments such as healthcare, medical services, pharmaceuticals, healthy food and supplements, elderly care services, health insurance, and other health-related products and services. As people's living standards rise and health awareness increases, the health and wellness market is gradually becoming a focal point of attention, presenting significant market potential. Within the health and wellness market, the healthcare (健康保健) segment plays a critical role, especially as the rise in sub-health conditions among younger demographics. The healthcare segment focuses on maintaining and improving personal well-being through prevention, monitoring, and treatment. The healthcare market includes products and services aimed at improving overall health, reducing fatigue, and promoting relaxation.

From a policy perspective, regulatory guidance has a significant impact on market development. Although there are no explicit policies mandating the comprehensive ban or removal of mechanical massage equipment, the government has introduced a series of regulatory requirements: In 2022, the National Railway Administration proposed partial amendments to the "Design Specifications for Railway Passenger Stations," indicating that the scale of commercial facilities should be reasonably determined based on passenger flow and demand. In 2023, the National Railway Administration issued rectification and standardization requirements for multi-functional waiting seats (such as massage seats), stating that the number of such seats in train stations nationwide should not exceed 20% of the total number of waiting room seats. Regular safety inspections, sanitation, and disinfection are mandatory. Non-compliant massage seats must be rectified within a specified period. Particularly in stations with high passenger flow and limited waiting area space, the proportion of massage seats needs to be further reduced. These policy regulations require the mechanical massage service industry to focus more on compliant operations, increasing investments in equipment quality enhancement, sanitation management, and safety assurance. Companies need to continuously optimize products and services to adapt to policy changes and meet passengers' increasingly diverse and high-quality demands. This also accelerates industry consolidation, eliminating some non-compliant small enterprises and promoting the entire industry toward a more standardized and healthy direction.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Entry Barrier

  • Brand Barrier. Compared to small mechanical massage service providers large brands in the mechanical massage service market typically occupy a significant number of prime POS such as high-traffic areas like Wanda commercial complex, which have already been secured by major players. These prime spots, with their high consumer traffic, not only attract a large number of consumers but also boost the brand's visibility and influence, making it difficult for smaller mechanical massage service providers to find similar market opportunities. Moreover, large brands have established a strong presence in consumers' minds over time, building trust and recognition. Consumers are more likely to choose well-known brands or chain stores, as these brands are often associated with higher service quality and reliability. In contrast, small mechanical massage service providers lacking in brand recognition and market influence, struggle to gain consumer trust and loyalty. As a result, small mechanical massage service providers face significant brand barriers and entry challenges in this market, which is largely dominated by large players.

  • Channel Barrier. In the mechanical massage service market, the relationship with channel partners is crucial, especially when it comes to collaborating with key consumption scenarios such as well-known commercial complexes, cinemas airports and train stations. For example, establishing a strong partnership with large commercial complex like Wanda can provide a company with stable foot traffic and high brand visibility. However, these partnerships are not easily formed, as major channel partners like Wanda typically prefer to collaborate with mechanical massage service providers that have already established a strong brand reputation and reliable services. Finding and building key channels needs significant efforts in marketing, relationship building, and continuous product improvement, which poses a considerable barrier for mechanical massage service providers aiming to enter this competitive market.

  • Technology Barrier. Massage equipment is a high-tech product integrating mechanical and electronic technology, modern control technology, sensor technology, new material technology, ergonomics principle, traditional Chinese medicine massage technology and meridian acupuncture therapy. For new entrants to achieve technological breakthroughs, they need to invest a lot of R&D money and time and have a high-quality R&D team.

  • Management and Operation Barrier. The management and operation of mechanical massage service requires efficient logistics distribution, professional maintenance team and mature consumer service system. New entrants need to establish a complete set of operating systems in a short period of time, which is also a big challenge.

REGULATORY OVERVIEW

On 28 December 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China (the "CAC") and certain other PRC regulatory authorities published the Cybersecurity Review Measures (《網絡安全審查辦法》), which became effective on 15 February 2022. Pursuant to the measures, critical information infrastructure operators (the "CIIO") that purchase network products and services and network platform operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security must be subject to the Cybersecurity Review. However, the Cybersecurity Review Measures does not define what constitutes "affect or may affect national security," and the PRC government would have broad discretion over the interpretation of this term.

The Regulations on the Administration of Cyber Data Security (《網絡數據安全管理條例》) (the “Regulations”) was promulgated by the CAC on 24 September 2024 and became effective on 1 January 2025. According to the Regulations, data processors that affect or may affect national security, would be required to apply for a cybersecurity review in accordance with the relevant PRC regulations.

Security Protection Regulations for Critical Information Infrastructure (《關鍵信息基礎設施安全保護條例》) was promulgated by the State Council on July 30, 2021 and became effective on September 1, 2021. For important industries and fields, the competent authorities and supervisory authorities are the authorities responsible for the security protection of critical information infrastructure (hereinafter referred to as the "protection authorities"). The protection authorities shall, in accordance with identification rules, be responsible for organizing the identification of critical information infrastructure of respective industries and fields, notify the operators concerned of the identification results in a timely manner, and report the same to the public security department under the State Council.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, we have not received any notification from any regulatory authority on the need to carry out Critical Information Infrastructure identification work or notification of being identified as a Critical Information Infrastructure Operator, and none of our network facilities or information systems have been designated as Critical Information Infrastructure. Therefore, as advised by our PRC Legal Advisor, as of the Latest Practicable Date, we do not currently constitute a Critical Information Infrastructure Operator. In addition, we intend to be [REDACTED] on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this time, and the Cybersecurity Review Measures do not explicitly stipulate that [REDACTED] in Hong Kong belongs to the circumstances in which a declaration of cybersecurity review is mandatory; according to a telephone consultation with China Cybersecurity Review, Certification and Market Regulation Big Data Center (the "CCRC"), our proposed [REDACTED] in Hong Kong does not fall into the category of situations that require voluntary declaration. As at the Latest Practicable Date, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notification from the regulatory authorities that its network products and services and data processing activities have been determined by the regulatory authorities as affecting or potentially affecting national security, and neither has received any notification from the regulatory authorities that we have been subject to a cybersecurity review process or has been required to conduct a cybersecurity review. Based on the foregoing, our PRC Legal Advisor is of the view that, as of the Latest Practicable Date, the likelihood that our business operations and/or the [REDACTED] give rise to national security risks which subject us to cybersecurity review under the Cybersecurity Review Measures and the Regulations on Cyber Data Security is relatively low.

The registration for Mr. Pan’s Investments with the local authority was completed in one go on 8 May 2017. Therefore, in the table above, (i) the “Amount of registered capital and/or Shares subscribed/acquired” by Mr. Pan is referring to the total registered capital in our Company acquired by Mr. Pan after Mr. Pan’s Investments; (ii) the “Date of investment(s)” of Mr. Pan is referring to the date of completion of the registration for Mr. Pan’s Investments; (iii) each the “Consideration paid in connection with the registered capital and/or Shares subscribed/acquired” and the “Date of full settlement of the consideration” is referring to the total consideration paid by Mr. Pan and the date of settlement of consideration upon Mr. Pan’s Investments; and (iv) and the “Valuation of our Company upon the completion of the [REDACTED] Investment” of Mr. Pan is referring to the valuation of the Company after taking into consideration Mr. Pan’s First Investment and Mr. Pan’s Second Investment.

(3) In March 2017, Mr. Li Bin acquired 2% equity interest in our Company with a consideration of RMB2.0 million (“Mr. Li’s First Investment”), and subsequently in the same month, Mr. Li further acquired 1.86% equity interest in our Company at consideration of RMB70,588 in order to mitigate his average investment costs in our Company (“Mr. Li’s Second Investment”, together with Mr. Li’s First Investment, the “Mr. Li’s First Two Batches Investments”). The registration for Mr. Li’s First Investment and Mr. Li’s Second Investment with the local authority was completed in one go on 8 May 2017. In 1 November 2017, Mr. Li further acquired 2% equity interest in our Company at the consideration of RMB0.2 million, which was determined based on arm’s length negotiation with reference to the registered capital of such equity interests and after taking into consideration Mr. Li Bin’s contribution in introducing a new investor (“Mr. Li’s Third Investment”). Therefore, in the table above, (i) the “Amount of registered capital and/or Shares subscribed/acquired” by Mr. Li is referring to the total number of registered capital acquired in (a) Mr. Li’s First Two Batches Investments and (b) Mr. Li’s Third Investment, respectively; (ii) the “Date of investment(s)” of Mr. Li is referring to the date of completion of the registration for Mr. Li’s First Two Batches Investments and the date of entering into agreement for Mr. Li’s Third Investment, respectively; (iii) the “Consideration paid in connection with the registered capital and/or Shares subscribed/acquired” of Mr. Li is referring to the total consideration paid in Mr. Li’s First Two Batches Investment and Mr. Li’s Third Investment, respectively; (iv) the “Date of full settlement of the consideration” of Mr. Li is referring to the date of settlement of consideration for Mr. Li’s First Two Batches Investment and Mr. Li’s Third Investment, respectively; and (v) the “Valuation of the Company upon the completion of the [REDACTED] Investment” is referring to the valuation of our Company upon the completion of Mr. Li’s First Two Batches Investments. As Mr. Li’s Third Investment are not measured at the Company’s market value, the valuation of our Company upon such investment was not meaningful and hence the cost per Share for Mr. Li’s Third Investment is not calculated. See “— Corporate Development of our Company — Shareholding Changes from December 2016 to May 2017 — (ii) Investment by Mr. Pan Jianzhong (潘建忠) and Mr. Li Bin (李斌)” in this section for detail of Mr. Li’s shareholding changes in our Company.

(4) The calculation is based on the consideration paid in connection with the registered capital and/or Shares subscribed/acquired, and the amount of registered capital and/or Shares subscribed/acquired.

(5) Discount to the [REDACTED] is calculated based on the assumption that the [REDACTED] is HK$[REDACTED] per [REDACTED], being the mid-point of the indicative [REDACTED] range of HK$[REDACTED] to HK$[REDACTED] per [REDACTED], the consideration paid, and the number of share acquired or the number of share corresponding to the subscribed/acquired register capital upon conversion into a joint stock company.

Dedicated to develop Mechanical Massage service to Foster Consumer Preferences

We originated the "Mechanical Massage Space" with the vision of introducing better massage experience to our consumers.

We formulate our service offering based on the following three aspects:

  • We invite experience officers to evaluate, from a consumer's perspective, whether the visual and seating aspects convey a sense of privacy, spaciousness, and comfort associated with massage relaxation. Their feedback serves as a key input in enhancing our mechanical massage service and overall user experience.
  • Our POS network, deployed across 31 provincial-level administrative regions, enables consumers to conveniently access mechanical massage services in a variety of locations, including commercial complexes, cinemas, and traffic hubs.

"Direct Mode + Partner Mode" in Symbiosis, "Online + Offline" Modes Complement Each Other

We operate with a "Direct Mode + Partner Mode" and segment our services through both online and offline channels to enhance consumers' reach and stickiness. We adopt a tailored approach by leveraging the strengths of both our Company and Local Partners, and by considering the characteristics of different regions and consumption scenarios to select the most suitable business mode for providing mechanical massage services.

In addition to providing offline mechanical massage service, we have also engaged in online sales of massage vouchers primarily through Douyin and the Lemobar Wechat mini program, allowing customers to purchase proactively as needed and redeem the vouchers at offline POS. We believe that our online business strategy helps drive traffic to our offline services, strengthen our brand image within the health industry, diversify our business portfolio, and further empower our offline mechanical massage service.

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGIES

Further Expand Our POS Network

As a major market player in the mechanical massage service industry in terms of transaction value, our Group plans to continuously expand our POS network in China and overseas to capture a wider consumer base and deepen the market penetration of our business operation.

We shall firstly continue to expand our POS penetration in consumption scenarios where we currently have a established position, including commercial complexes, cinemas and airports. With our established presence in these consumption scenarios, we believe the Site Managers will be willing to deepen their cooperation with us based on the business relationships they have developed with us and the reputation we have already built. We understand that there is room for expansion of our POS coverage in commercial complexes, cinemas and airports, taking into account (i) the expected openings of new commercial complexes and cinemas; (ii) the expected allocation of more space for mechanical massage services at the existing commercial complexes, cinemas and airports. This strategic expansion would make our services more accessible to a broader clientele and increase our market penetration rate.

In addition, we intend to develop the opportunities for establishing new POS in more consumption scenarios such as transportation service and rest areas, office buildings and e-sports spaces etc. Given the high consumer traffic nature of these consumption scenarios, our Directors consider that, there would be sufficient demand for mechanical massage service, especially when the potential consumers often need to maximise the use of their fragmented time in these scenarios. We believe our mechanical massage service, which can be accessed at multiple locations and used simply at their fingertips, can match with the demand of these potential consumers. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have already established limited number of POSs in such other consumption scenarios for preliminary trial purposes. We expect to develop our large-scale presence in such consumption scenarios in the future based on the information collected from such pilot POSs, such as business performance, operating data and site occupancy terms.

Leveraging our success and experience in the PRC market, we plan to explore further opportunities in overseas market to strengthen our consumer base for more sustainable development. In particular, we notice there is potential demand for mechanical massage service in the Asian market. According to the F&S Report, the revenue of the massage industry in Asian countries and regions like Southeast Asia (such as Thailand) shall increase stably, with increasingly stronger trend for popularisation of mechanical massage equipment. In Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand, consumer awareness of the massage industry is high, making it one of the fastest-growing and most mature segments within the local health and wellness market. With the rapid economic development across Southeast Asia, rising consumer spending power, and increasing demand for health management, the massage industry has experienced significant growth. In terms of market size, the Southeast Asian massage market grew from

around USD250 million in 2019 to over USD300 million in 2023 and is projected to further expand to over USD500 million by 2028, with a CAGR of 13.6% from 2024 to 2028. From a market segmentation perspective, the increasing adoption of mechanical massage devices, coupled with the rapid development of infrastructure such as shopping malls, cinemas, and public transportation, will create vast opportunities for the growth of mechanical massage services. In view of such potential market opportunities, we plan to establish POS network in these overseas regions.

Leveraging our experience in POS development and expansion in the PRC market, we will identify overseas regions with sufficient demand and development potential for mechanical massage service, abundant foot traffic, and suitable consumption scenarios for POS establishment. We may adopt different development strategies in different overseas regions depending on the local market dynamics, consumer needs, conditions of suitable consumption scenarios. For instance, for overseas regions where the mechanical massage services market is still at the early incubation phase, we may cooperate and work with existing market players who have already established and operated local POS for mechanical massage service. We may also consider adopting the Partner Mode in the overseas market by provision of our comprehensive mechanical massage service solution to the local entities who possess advantages on local resources, under which we may also (i) transfer the ownership of massage equipment to the Local Partners and provide free comprehensive mechanical massage service solution to such Local Partner for a certain fixed period, before charging service fee based on the transaction value generated from the overseas POS; and (ii) grant exclusivity right to the Local Partner for an overseas region for a fixed period if they meet specified performance targets such as number of massage equipment deployed.

Continue to Iterate and Enhance our Technology, Improve Service Quality and Operational Efficiency

With our massage technologies and programs together with our LMB Links involved in the mechanical massage services being important components for our smooth business operation, we plan to invest more in the research and development work in (i) digital mechanical massage technology and systematic solutions; and (ii) continuous iterating and enhancing the related technologies in respect of both software and hardware upgrades of our LMB Links in order to improve our system compatibility and operational efficiency.

First, we will continue to strengthen our research and development in digital mechanical massage technology and systematic solutions. For example, we will strive to upgrade our massage equipment and introduce more customisation features, such as the technologies on adjustment of the massage position to accommodate different body shapes. In addition, we will utilise our resources on research of the application of other mature technologies available in the market for mechanical massage services in order to provide consumers with more comprehensive health wellness services.

BUSINESS

Further, we also target to continue to upgrade and optimise the hardware and software of our LMB Links to strategically align with our POS network expansion plan. Regarding hardware-related technologies, we will continue to focus on infrastructure upgrades and module functionality refinement. Through such upgrades, we plan to improve the seamless connection between our mechanical massage equipment and LMB Links to achieve more efficient remote control, status monitoring and payment functions according to the requirements of different regions. Such hardware and software upgrade will not only increase operational efficiency, but also help us to adapt to our expansion plans for our mechanical massage service in the future.

Through the aforesaid development and upgrades in respect of massage technologies, software and hardware, we believe we can strengthen our service quality and enhance operational efficiency.

Enhance the Awareness and Exposure of our Brand

In order to keep abreast of the market development and maintain our solid position in the industry, we consider it essential to continuously enhance our brand awareness and exposure. As such, we intend to strengthen our brand enhancement and marketing campaign in various ways.

Firstly, we intend to deepen our targeted marketing placement on new media platforms to increase brand exposure and awareness. We can reach a large number of consumers cost by using online means. With accomplished digital operational capabilities, we can more accurately enhance our targeted marketing and promotion strategies. This allows us to effectively connect with new and potential consumers through appropriate marketing channels and content. We leveraged social media such as WeChat, Douyin, Meituan, Kuaishou and Xiaohongshu for online promotion and marketing to continuously promote our brand and products to attract more consumers to visit our POS proactively. We intend to work with these social media platforms to further expand our consumer reach. For example, we have been joining the "Local Life" (本地生活) platform on various social media including Douyin and Kuaishou to strengthen our local consumer reach in different local regions in the PRC. We have been creating promotional materials including short videos and posters being showcased across various social media platforms for highlighting the features of our mechanical massage service and discount offers or promotional packages. We will also continue to develop offline targeted marketing and promotional materials and strategies.

Furthermore, we plan to upgrade and improve the design and image of our POS by the goals of incorporating more elements, capturing blend of unique local elements and enhancing our brand's cohesive visual identity. We believe that by cultivating both functional and emotional aspects of our POS's design and image, consumer engagement can be elevated and consumer recognition, perceptions and evaluations and be enhanced. Based on the insights derived from results from regular surveys conducted by our Group directly and third-party research institute engaged by us as well as order information analysis generated by our LMB Links, we target to enhance our brand impression through improvement of the exterior design

and logo exposure of the POS. With the higher spending power of the target consumers in the PRC, they have higher requirements on the design and aesthetics of the products and services they use. As such, we wish to upgrade and improve the design and decoration of certain POS with the goals of elevating the overall consumer experience and embodying our unwavering commitment to providing quality massage service to our consumers. We shall particularly focus on privacy, aesthetics and comfort level when we upgrade our POS.

Develop the Strategic Cooperation and Explore New Business Opportunities with Synergistic Effects

We have striven to engage in exploring new business opportunities for providing accessible healthy lifestyle solutions for our consumers, leveraging on our LMB Links and technologies and experience in big health industry.

Taking advantage of our experience and know-hows accumulated over years of development of mechanical massage technologies, we are constantly exploring the possibility of introduction of more advanced health products, services and solutions. For instance, we would explore the possibilities in uncovering new insights and solutions related to sleep health. While we focus on development of more products by our own in-house research and development team, we do not rule out the possibilities of strategic cooperation with other existing market players or academic institutions for development of more advanced technologies for application on health products. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no concrete plan has been made and no target partner has been identified in this regard. We are also interested in developing designs and technologies with high flexibility for application in various health product offerings. We intend to develop and introduce more healthy lifestyle service and products, when we identify any suitable market opportunities, to create caring healthy living services for our consumers.

We are of the view that any additional healthy living product/service offerings in the health industry would not only bring a new source of income to our Group, but also create synergies with our existing business operation in mechanical massage services. Through resource integration between the business segments and combined brand effect, we believe we can widen the service and product offerings and business connections of our Group, hence enhancing our vision as the first choice for consumers who wish to enjoy healthy life style by providing more comprehensive wellness solutions.

(1) Calculation method: number of repeat consumers in the year or period/total number of paying consumers in the year. We identify and count the number of consumers based on the consumer identification number who have placed at least one order in each of two consecutive years as the number of repeat consumers for the second year. We then calculate the total number of consumers based on the consumer identification number who have placed at least one order in the second year as the total number of paying consumers for that year. The aforesaid consumer identification number is generated based on the phone number of the consumer, or where the consumer refuses to share the phone number, the identification number from Wechat, Alipay etc.

(2) Calculation method: total number of orders from all massage equipment during the year/total number of ordering days for all massage equipment during the year/average of beginning and ending balance of number of massage equipment for the year.

The number of daily transaction per massage equipment decreased from 2.95 in 2023 to 2.04 in 2024 as a result of the substantial increase in number of massage equipment in 2024 by approximately 90% as compared to that in 2023, which led to dilution of the number of transaction per massage equipment and the ramp-up period for newly installed equipment to reach normal utilisation level.

(3) Calculation method: total annual transaction value/total annual number of orders.

(4) Calculation method: total remaining useful life of massage equipment (i.e. expected useful life minus duration-in-use)/number of depreciating massage equipment.

(5) The revenue is derived by deduction of (i) the value-added tax under the Direct Mode; and (ii) the portion of the transaction value entitled by the Local Partners under the Partner Mode from the total transaction value. For details of our revenue derived under the Partner Mode, see “Business — Our Business Segment — Mechanical Massage Service — Direct Mode and Partner Mode — Partner Mode”.

By scanning the QR code on the mechanical massage equipment, consumers can access our mini program Lemobar (樂摩吧) to initiate and customize their mechanical massage service. Our mini program are designed to cater to diverse consumer needs, offering multiple adjustment options to ensure a customized and comfortable experience. Prior to initiating a massage session, the massage chair performs an automatic shoulder height detection. The massage mechanism moves upward from a preset starting position, and upon detecting the consumer's shoulder signal, the system determines whether the detected position falls within the predefined normal range. If so, such position is recognised as the consumer's actual shoulder height. Based on the detected shoulder height, the massage equipment adjusts the massage path accordingly to deliver a more precise massage experience for different consumers. In addition, consumers can also adjust the massage service based on their personal preferences and needs. Key adjustment features include: (i) Time Selection: Consumers are able to pre-select the duration of the massage session (e.g., 15 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes)

img-4.jpeg

(ii) Mode Selection: Consumers can choose from three distinct massage modes — shoulder and neck massage mode, lower back massage mode, and full-body massage mode — via the Lemobar mini program; (iii) Airbag Intensity Adjustment: Consumers can select from three levels of airbag intensity, namely soft, medium, and strong, based on their personal preferences; (iv) Massage Strength Adjustment: Consumers have the flexibility to adjust the massage strength across three levels — soft, medium, and strong — according to their comfort level; and (v) Seat Position Adjustment: Consumers can customize their seating position by

Direct Mode and Partner Mode

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Direct Mode is our primary operation mode, with approximately $71.0\%$ of our POS operating under the Direct Mode. While actively expanding our directly-operated POS network, we also maintain a robust Local Partner network, leveraging their advantages on local resources for sustained growth. We generally prioritise the Direct mode in the following sites or regions: (i) national chain commercial sites, airports and other large-scale public sites that typically impose higher requirements on the scale and qualifications of mechanical massage service providers; (ii) sites, such as certain cinemas, that require systematic cross-regional coordination capabilities; and (iii) regions with relatively intense market competition where concentrated group resources are needed for marketing and operational purposes. For most other sites or regions, we determine the appropriate business mode based on the characteristics of the region and site, as well as the operational capabilities of the potential Local Partners.

With years of accumulated business experience, we have developed a clear and stable strategy for selecting the appropriate operation mode across different regions. We plan to maintain the current strategy in terms of geographical location for determination of the operation mode (i.e. Direct mode and Partner Mode). We will continuously improve our POS network penetration under Direct Mode in any geographical location in the future. Concurrently, we will continue to develop and maintain our cooperation with Local Partners in the geographical locations where the Partner Mode has been adopted over the years, such as Hubei province, Hunan province, Hebei province, Beijing, Chongqing etc. However, we have no intention of proactively introducing the Partner Mode in other geographical locations in the PRC in the near future. We have established systematic processes for Local Partner selection, business guidance, support, and post-operation maintenance. With years of operational experience, we have established a series of internal policies and regulations to ensure the

smooth operation of our Local Partner selection and management process. When selecting Local Partners, we primarily consider whether they align with our co-creation model, possess channel resources, and have the financial and managerial capabilities for long-term operations. In the collaborating process, we provide guidance on their daily operations through a series of training programs and instructional manuals. Additionally, we conduct ongoing and regular operational supervision of our Local Partners. We monitor their daily business performance and conduct annual evaluations.

Set forth is a summary of the material aspects of Direct Mode and Partner Mode:

Fee Settlement . . . . . All fees paid by the consumers will be collected by us through external e-payment platforms. For transaction other than using prepaid cards or packages from consumers, Local Partner will receive payments through external e-payment platforms directly. We enter into service fee collection arrangement with the Local Partners and external e-payment platforms pursuant to which external e-payment platform would transfer the payments entitled by us based on our service fee rate as specified in our service fee collection agreements with the Local Partners. We will therefore receive service fee from Local Partners through external e-payment platform based on the transaction value generated by each POS and the service fee rate agreed upon between us. The transferred amount will be reviewed and adjusted between us and the Local Partners during the monthly settlement process.

For consumers using prepaid cards or packages, we will first receive payments directly. Payments will then be paid to Local Partner in the monthly settlement process based on actual usage. |

The following are the key steps of establishment and operation of a POS under Direct Mode:

img-7.jpeg

  1. Site selection. Leveraging on our digitalized operation supported by our LMB Links, we first pre-select potential POS sites based on our accumulated operational experience and public information retrieval. We will also capture potential site opportunities through business referrals, publicly available information and other possible channels like tender invitation. Our business team consolidates these information and conducts internal screening and identification of suitable sites. Once the target POS sites are identified, we conduct on-site research, which includes assessing factors such as foot traffic, rent levels, competitive landscape, and consumer preferences.

BUSINESS

  1. Occupancy Negotiation. After completing the research, we evaluate whether to proceed with the development of the POS site. If the evaluation concludes that the POS site is suitable, we will develop a specialized POS site development plan and initiate business negotiations. For well-known national chain of commercial complexes, cinemas, and other sizeable sites, we establish strategic cooperation through the signing of framework agreements to gain channel advantages.

The salient content of the site occupancy agreement entered into between the Site Managers and our Group are summarised as follows:

Term of agreement:
Three months to one year (commercial complex) one to three years (cinema) one to five years (airport and high-speed rail station), in general.

Scope of occupancy:
We are allowed to place and operate our mechanical massage equipment at the designated spots within the site owned by the Site Managers and we are not allowed to use the designated spots for other purposes without consent of the Site Managers.

We are responsible for the design and decoration of the POS, delivery and installation of massage equipment and daily operation and maintenance of the POS and should bear all relevant costs.

The Site Managers will conduct an inspection over our POS before we commence the operation.

Site occupancy fee and settlement:
Fixed amount of and/or variable site occupancy fee per POS and management fee are payable by us to the Site Managers on a one-off, monthly, quarterly or yearly basis. Variable site occupancy fee is generally calculated with reference to (i) the number of massage equipment placed at the POS; (ii) GFA of the POS; and/or (iii) transaction value generated at the POS.

We are also generally required to pay a fixed deposit for each POS, which is refundable upon termination of the site occupancy agreement.

BUSINESS

Termination of the contract:

Under normal circumstances, a site occupancy agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement between the parties, upon the expiry of the contractual term, due to a breach of obligations or infringement of rights by either party, or as a result of statutory force majeure events.

During the Track Record Period, certain site occupancy of our POS may be terminated prior to the expiry of corresponding term due to, among others, (i) unsatisfactory revenue performance of the relevant POS; and (ii) changes in site planning by the Site Managers or other operational considerations. Certain of our site occupancy agreements contain provisions that entitle us to request a refund of rent and a specified amount of liquidated damages in the event that we are unable to continue using the site due to reasons attributable to the Site Managers. For site occupancy agreements that do not contain such compensation provisions, we may still be entitled to seek compensation under applicable laws in the event of unilateral termination by the Site Managers. Given our longstanding relationships with major Site Managers, such situations generally do not occur. If such situations arise, we generally seek to resolve them through amicable discussions with our Site Managers. Given there are generally multiple POS within a single site, we may be required to switch POS within the same site from time to time. If all of our POS within the same site is withdrawn prior to the expiry of the term of the relevant site occupancy, such case would be regarded as prematurely terminated POS. For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, the number of our prematurely terminated POS was 860, 660, 1,201 and 485, respectively. The revenue from such prematurely terminated POS amounted to RMB5.82 million, RMB7.63 million, RMB10.42 million and RMB0.73 million for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, respectively, accounting for approximately $1.76\%$, $1.30\%$, $1.31\%$ and $0.00\%$ of our total revenue in the same year/period, respectively. Our Directors consider that the prematurely terminated POS would not have any material adverse impact on our business operations for the following reasons: (i) the premature termination of these POS was primarily aimed at phasing out underperforming POS, optimising our operational efficiency and improving our overall operational performance, which is beneficial to our business development; and (ii) these prematurely terminated POS accounted for only a small proportion of our total number of POS, and the revenue generated from these POS represented only a small percentage of our total revenue from mechanical massage services, thus did not have a significant impact on our operations.

During the Track Record Period, POS and related expenses amounted to RMB158.75 million, RMB229.81 million, RMB352.37 million and RMB95.26 million for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, respectively. Such increases were primarily attributable to the expansion in the number of our POS. We currently adopt the following measures to


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

BUSINESS

manage and control POS and related expenses: (i) maintaining long-term partnerships with sizeable Site Managers and securing preferential site occupancy terms through framework agreements; and (ii) negotiating with Site Managers to obtain more favourable commercial terms by securing a large number of POS sites with the same Site Manager.

  1. Design and decoration. We design and decorate our POS with the goals of highlighting our brand and maintaining the aesthetic, privacy and comfort level at POS to match the consumers' preference. We would also arrange the delivery of the mechanical massage equipment stored at the manufacturers to the designated POS. After the delivery, we would connect all mechanical massage equipment to our LMB Links so that we can monitor and operate each of our mechanical massage equipment in real time.

  2. Operation and maintenance of POS. Upon commencement of operation of the POS, we would monitor the performance of the POS in real time through the LMB Links. In terms of the operational data monitoring, through our data dashboard on LMB Links, we can access operational information such as order information and transaction value in real-time. In terms of remote equipment management, LMB Links enables real-time processing of equipment messages, remote execution of equipment commands, remote firmware management, and equipment voice broadcasting. In terms of maintenance of the equipment, LMB Links enables real-time equipment fault diagnosis, remote upgrades, spare parts management, as well as monitoring of maintenance execution.

Under the Direct mode, a standard POS can typically be set up within 15 to 30 days. However, where the POS site is subject to a tender process or requires the installation of customized decoration or massage equipment, the set-up period may extend to as long as 180 days, depending on the specific circumstances.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, most of our site occupancy agreements do not include exclusivity clauses while some of our site occupancy agreements for our POS at cinemas contain exclusivity clause, stipulating that no other competitors providing mechanical massage services may be introduced within the same cinema hall. According to Frost & Sullivan, in the consumption scenarios of commercial complex and cinemas, there is generally only one mechanical massage service provider within a single site, which refers to independent space that operates as the whole commercial complex or cinema instead of only one specific floor or theater hall. As advised by Frost & Sullivan, mechanical massage services typically require a relatively large footprint and have specific requirements in terms of power supply, passageway space and width, as well as consumer privacy. In such circumstances, accommodating multiple brands within the same site may result in higher risk of operational disorder, and thus there is generally one mechanical massage service provider in commercial complex and cinemas for the optimal consumer experience, regardless of whether the relevant site occupancy agreement contains any

  • 168 -

BUSINESS

exclusivity clause. As at the Latest Practicable Date, over 52.0% of our POS were located in commercial complexes and cinemas. In order to tackle competition with other mechanical massage service providers, we typically adopt the following measures: (i) enter into strategic framework cooperation agreements with major Site Managers to facilitate channel advantages; (ii) analyze the operation outcomes of existing POS, striving to extend the cooperation period for POS with higher operational efficiency, and actively adjust strategies for POS with moderate performance; (iii) leveraging our scale advantage and brand influence, actively maintain our presence in transportation hubs, which usually require high upfront investment costs, to consolidate and enhance our competitive edge in such scenarios; (iv) strengthen our marketing efforts through online media channels such as Douyin to enhance our brand awareness; (v) continue to optimise strategies for consumer acquisition and repeat purchase to improve consumer engagement and loyalty; and (vi) proactively launch nationwide or regional membership marketing campaigns to attract more consumers. To the best knowledge of our Directors, we are able to effectively tackle competition, taking into account our strong brand presence and established channel resources, as well as our continuous efforts to enhance our competitiveness as outlined above.

We have effectively addressed the industry risk of massage equipment being occupied improperly for long period of time, while ensuring that the consumer's experience remains unaffected. Most of our massage equipment are installed with sensor which is able to detect improper occupancy, except for massage cushions that are not suitable for anti-occupancy settings and some massage equipment for which the site operator has requested to disable the anti-occupancy function. When a consumer occupies the seat for a certain period without making any purchase, the mechanical massage equipment sends periodic voice reminders to notice them to vacate the seat. If the consumer still does not make a purchase or vacate the seat after repeated reminders, the mechanical massage equipment will slowly raise and gradually push the consumer up in three progressive stages, making it impossible for them to remain seated and prompting them to leave. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have obtained various patents related to the aforementioned functions for addressing improper occupancy of our mechanical massage equipment. To reduce the risk of accidents in public places, we also put up or display appropriate safety reminders within the interface of our Lemobar mini-program.

Depending on the business performance of POS for which evaluation is done through our LMB Links, we may adjust the number and model of massage equipment placed at the POS or the decoration to better match the consumer preference.

For details of our maintenance work, see the paragraph headed “— Our Business Segments — Mechanical Massage Service — Maintenance of our massage equipment”.

Partner Mode

We cooperate with our Local Partners who have abundant local resources and connection, such as sufficient operating capital, extensive industry experience and site resources, as well as well management capabilities and corporate creditworthiness, which facilitates expansion of our local POS network and effective operation of the local POS. Under our Partner mode, each Local Partner is assigned to be responsible for specific POS in the designated geographical locations to avoid cannibalisation while we provide a comprehensive mechanical massage service solution.

To the best knowledge of our Directors, apart from the assistance provided based on contractual obligations, we have not provided any form of financial support to our Local Partners.

Our management of Local Partners encompasses several key aspects: processing new applications, managing agreements, updating Local Partner information, overseeing POS site operations, and handling contract renewals. When evaluating potential Local Partners, we assess their alignment with our co-creation business model, as well as their channel resources, financial stability, creditworthiness, and team management capabilities. Once a suitable Local Partner is identified, we initiate the application process through our internal system. Upon approval, we formalize the our partnership by signing a service agreement and recording their information in the system. Any changes to Local Partner information are promptly updated by the assigned operations manager. Throughout the partnership, our marketing and operations teams conduct regular site visits to monitor performance, evaluate operations and maintenance, and prepare relevant reports. When the service agreement expires, we base the renewal decision on the Local Partner's overall performance.

When selecting Local Partners, we primarily consider whether they align with our co-creation model, possess channel resources, and have the financial and managerial capabilities for long-term operations. As at Latest Practicable Date, we had 41 Local Partners and we had over 13,000 POS under the Partner Mode. The table below sets forth the movement of the Local Partners for the periods indicated:

Year ended 31 December Three months ended 31 March 2025
2022 2023 2024

BUSINESS

As of the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of our Directors, controlling shareholders or their spouse of eleven of our Local Partners are limited partners of one of our Controlling Shareholder, Zhangchuang Gongying Platform and collectively hold approximately 19.9% of the registered capital of Zhangchuang Gongying Platform. For details, see "History and Corporate Structure — Corporate Development of our Company — Our Incentive Platforms — Zhangchuang Gongying Platform".

To the best knowledge of our Directors, all of our Local Partners were our Independent Third Parties as at the Latest Practicable Date.

We have expanded and grown at an accelerated pace in recent years, and the revenue generation and operational capabilities of some original Local Partners could no longer meet our business needs. To address this, we conducted an evaluation of their performance and capabilities, and reasonably optimized our partnerships with those who has shown poor performance or whose operational models no longer aligned with our operational philosophy. This was done to enhance our operational efficiency, increase POS utilization, and boost revenue. During the Track Record Period, for 31 Local Partners who were under performance or whose business circumstances changed, we reached amicable agreements to terminate the partnerships. For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, the revenue we generated from Local Partners with whom we terminated cooperation during the respective year/period was less than 2% of the total revenue we generated from all Local Partners in same year/period.

For regions previously operated by these Local Partners, we introduced other Local Partners or took over Direct Mode as needed to maintain POS coverage and brand visibility.

Through this structured optimization process, we have established a team of Local Partners with solid local channel resources, well operational and maintenance capabilities and shared business philosophy, forming stable partnerships that provide a solid foundation for future growth. Our Directors recognise that taking into account the technological barriers and the win-win relationship between us and the Local Partners involved in provision of mechanical massage service, it would be unlikely that the Local Partners can independently operate the mechanical massage service without our support and become our competitor in the future. Firstly, the core technologies and corresponding digital platforms necessary for operating mechanical massage services on a nationwide scale, such as LMB Links, are self-developed and proprietary to our Group, and are not accessible to the Local Partners or other competitors. The research and development of the software and hardware components of LMB Links and the mechanical massage equipment requires advanced technical expertise, specialized knowledge, and substantial investment, and thus may not be easily replicated. Secondly, most Local Partners are small-scale operators with limited operational capabilities within a designated region, and do not possess the resources or capacity to scale up their business operations independently. Moreover, the current co-creation model allows the Local Partners to share operational risks with us and optimize their income given the cost of LMB Links and massage equipment is covered by us, which creates incentive for continued cooperation. As such, we are committed to delivering a comprehensive solution to our Local

Partners, ensuring they have the necessary support and resources to operate the POS effectively. In order to lower the risk of competition with our Local Partners, there is a non-competition clause under the agreements entered between us and the Local Partners. For details, see the salient content of the service agreement entered into between the Local Partners and us in this section below. Moving forward, we will continue to empower our Local Partners and pursue sustainable development together.

Under the Partner Mode, the revenue we derived from a POS is determined by: (i) the total transaction value generated from typical transactions, top-ups in the form of deposits, and prepaid massage service packages at the relevant POS; (ii) the pre-determined service fee rate between the relevant Local Partner and our Group; and (iii) the minimum floor and maximum cap on service fees as stipulated in relevant cooperation agreement.

The salient content of the service agreement entered into between the Local Partners and us is summarised as follows:

Term of agreement: Three years in general.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the remaining term of the existing service agreements between our Group and the Local Partners was 5.5 months on average.

Rights and Duties:

Our obligations include: (i) the establishment and upgrading of the LMB Links; (ii) the development of the Lemobar brand; (iii) providing comprehensive guidance on POS operation and maintenance; (iv) supplying mechanical massage equipment and related spare parts; (v) granting access to the LMB Links for necessary operation of the equipment; and (vi) offering customer service assistance to handle consumer complaints.

Our rights include: (i) retain ownership of the Lemobar brand, the mechanical massage equipment, and LMB Links; (ii) collect order information and other operational data through LMB Links; (iii) design the POS, the intellectual property and other legal rights generated from such designs belong solely to us; (iv) collect certain amounts of deposits (if applicable), service fees, and other cooperation-related fees; and (v) supervise the POS operation of our Local Partners.

BUSINESS

The obligations of the Local Partners include: (i) bearing all operational costs related to channel expansion, POS site usage, employee compensation, scenario design and decoration, installation of the mechanical massage equipment, operation and maintenance, cleaning, electricity bills, taxes, and other POS operation expenses; (ii) ensuring the safety of the mechanical massage equipment; (iii) payment of the deposit (if applicable); (iv) operating under our guidance, ensuring the maximum utilization of the mechanical massage equipment; (v) regularly reconciling accounts and paying service fees; and (vi) assuming responsibility for any disputes arising during the provision of services (except as otherwise provided in the agreement).

The rights of the Local Partners include: carrying out business activities independently under our guidance and generating the revenue from the POS operation.

Ownership of mechanical massage equipment:

We remain to be the owners of the massage equipment, our LMB Links and all relevant intellectual property rights such as our logo.

Payment of service fee:

For transaction other than using prepaid cards or packages from consumers, Local Partner will receive payments through external e-payment platforms directly. We will collect service fees from Local Partner through external e-payment platforms based on the transaction value generated by each POS and the service fee rate agreed upon between us. The external e-payment platforms would automatically wire the relevant amount to the Group based on pre-set instructions. The service fee (subject to a contractual minimum and capped amount where applicable) will be reviewed and adjusted during the monthly settlement process. During the Track Record Period, the average service fee rate we charged Local Partners was approximately 25%. Such rate (including the minimum and capped amount) was determined based on negotiation between the Group and the Local Partners on a case-by-case basis, taking into account various factors such as the site occupancy fee and other costs to be borne by the Local Partners, the model of mechanical massage equipment involved, local consumption level of the region where the Local Partner operates, and the cooperation relationship with the Local Partners.

BUSINESS

For consumers using prepaid cards or packages, we will receive payments directly. Payments will then be paid to Local Partner in the monthly settlement process based on actual usage.

Termination:

The agreement would terminate upon expiry of the term and the parties can enter into separate written agreement for extension of the business cooperation.

Non-competition undertaking:

During the term of the service agreement, Local Partner is prohibited to operate, whether directly or indirectly, any business that is identical and similar to or may compete with that of our Group.

For the cooperation arrangement with Local Partners in overseas markets, we may adopt different terms and conditions, so as to better meet the unique challenges of each market, sharing risks with the Local Partners and facilitate our market entry. For instance, we may transfer the ownership of massage equipment to the Local Partner and provide free comprehensive mechanical massage service solution to such Local Partner for a certain fixed period, before charging service fee based on the transaction value generated from the overseas POS. We may also grant exclusivity right to the Local Partner for an overseas region for a fixed period if they meet specified performance targets such as number of massage equipment deployed.

We have formulated the standardized manual in different geographical location and consumption scenario in terms of hygiene, maintenance, frequency of patrol etc., and Local Partners are required to follow our guidance when they operate and maintain the POS. Moreover, we have allocated regional managers to each geographical region to provide guidance and training to the Local Partners more effectively.

We classify Local Partners into corresponding tiers based on the category of their region, the completeness of the Local Partner team, and the annual transaction volume handled by their POS. Based on the business performance and operational needs of the Local Partners, we provide tailored support policies, including personnel, competitive pricing and materials, to support their further development. For instance, we may assist in bearing cost related to business development or, where appropriate, consider to adjust service fee rates (including the minimum and capped amount for our service fee), depending on the specific needs of the Local Partners. Our operations department also assigns account managers to visit the Local Partners' POS to assess their business performance. Local Partners who fail to meet the evaluation targets will be downgraded or have their partnership terminated.

BUSINESS

We will take into account the specific conditions of each POS in which the Local Partners operate, monitor the daily operation of Local Partners and evaluate their operational capabilities, in order to continuously optimize our Partner Mode. We will periodically supervise and provide appropriate guidance on the daily business operations of our Local Partners. We assign a dedicated operations specialist to each Local Partner to manage their performance. Based on the classification level of each POS, such specialists conduct site visit and provide dedicated empowerment sessions to Local Partners on a monthly or quarterly basis, targeting specific issues identified during their operational processes. We also leverage LMB Links to collect, store, and analyze their daily performance data, which will be reviewed and summarized in our monthly meetings. In addition, we will conduct annual evaluations based on the growth of their annual revenue. For Local Partners with strong business performance and high ratings, we will provide additional resources to help them further enhance their business capabilities. For those with lower ratings, we will consider terminating the partnership based on the evaluation results.

Our Mechanical Massage Equipment

We retain ownership of our mechanical massage equipment under both the Direct Mode and the Partner Mode in China. By introducing at least three new types of products each year, we have provided over 10 types of mechanical massage equipment for use at our POS during the Track Record Period. We have developed a multi-tiered product structure to cater to the diverse needs of different consumer segments. Currently, our product portfolio comprises four distinct series: the Leisure Chair Comfort and Relaxation Series, the Energy Egg Professional Massage Series, the First Class Intelligent Health Series, and the Back & Waist Relax Cinema Experience Series. The Leisure Chair Comfort and Relaxation Series is designed for consumers who do not have a regular massage habit, aiming to provide relaxation and massage services for random individuals, particularly when individuals feel fatigued. This series is usually launched in commercial complexes. The Energy Egg Professional Massage Series is primarily targeted at consumers with mild massage needs. This series is usually launched in commercial complexes and cinemas. The First Class Intelligent Health Series is our in-depth experience line, tailored for consumers with deeper massage needs, offering a more private and personalized mechanical massage experience. This series is usually launched in commercial complexes. Additionally, we have developed the Back & Waist Relax Cinema Experience Series, which is primarily used in cinemas. Massage cushions of this series provide moviegoers with a comfortable massage experience while watching films. We strategically placed different model of mechanical massage equipment at different POS based on various factors such as the geographical location, consumption scenario, consumer flow, consumer preference and consumer frequency.

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, the maintenance-related cost (which includes the maintenance cost of massage equipment, repair cost of massage equipment, cost of spare parts for installation of massage equipment and POS maintenance) amounted to approximately RMB4.70 million, RMB14.04 million, RMB22.77 million and RMB2.65 million, respectively. During the Track Record Period, save for one-off phasing-out incident due to quality upgrade of a new product in 2023

BUSINESS

(see "Financial Information — Description of Major Components in Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income — Other Net Income/(Loss)" for details), there was no other material write-off of mechanical massage equipment. The occurrence of such one-off phasing-out incident was primarily attributable to the fact that, in 2023, the Group identified quality issues on certain massage pads for deployment at cinema POS which could affect the optimal operation of the massage pads, and therefore decided to phase out such batch of massage pads for repairment at our processing and repair facility for subsequent re-deployment. Given there was no other material write-off of or impairment loss incurred from mechanical massage equipment during the Track Record Period, the Directors consider that such incident was one-off in nature.

The representative product models of each of our series are as follows:

Maintenance of our massage equipment

The maintenance of our massage equipment includes repair, maintenance and cleaning. Under the Partner mode, Local Partners are responsible for the maintenance of the POS and massage equipment. We provide them with a full set of maintenance work guidelines and ensure strict adherence to such guidelines through regular and ad hoc supervision and performance evaluations. Under the Direct mode, we undertake the maintenance work ourselves under a combination of our in-house staff and outsourcing to external service providers.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have a professional maintenance team of 212 members which is responsible for the repair, maintenance and cleaning work of our POS and massage equipment. Members of this team are directly hired and managed by us and are based in various cities where our directly operated POS are located. In addition, to reduce operation and maintenance costs and improve efficiency, we have outsourced part of our maintenance work to some of our Local Partners and third-party maintenance service providers to serve as a supplementary maintenance force of our POS under both Direct mode and Partner mode. We assess and determine the appropriate maintenance method based on a combination of factors, including the cost of conducting the maintenance work locally by ourselves, the strategic importance of the local POS, and the maintenance capabilities of the Local Partner and other third party service providers in the region.

BUSINESS

The repair and maintenance of the massage equipment includes routine maintenance and corrective maintenance. All routine maintenance is scheduled during non-operating hours of the equipment to avoid service disruption, and therefore does not result in any equipment downtime. Depending on the condition of each POS, our team conducts routine maintenance and cleaning work at least 1 to 12 times per month per POS. Under the Direct Mode, we determine the frequency of routine maintenance and cleaning work based on a range of operational factors, including the average daily usage volume of the massage equipment at each POS, historical equipment performance, the environment in which the equipment operates, and the service level requirements of the particular location. In addition, relevant personnel at different POS sites also assist with the necessary daily cleaning of the POS units. For example, at some of commercial complexes and cinemas, cleaning staff assist with the daily cleaning of our POS. At airports and high-speed railway stations, our on-site service staff also help with the daily cleaning of the POS.

For massage equipment with reported issues, the maintenance personnel will promptly assess the massage equipment's condition and activate corresponding corrective maintenance. If the assessment indicates that the issue can be resolved immediately through on-site repair, the repair will be carried out on the spot. We have established a dedicated repair technical guide for on-the-spot repairs. The guide provides detailed information on the hardware specifications, common fault scenarios, complete disassembly methods, and detailed repair procedures of our major massage equipment. This effectively helps the maintenance personnel quickly master the repair methods for massage equipment, improving repair efficiency, reducing repair costs, and ensuring the longevity of the equipment. According to the guide, on-the-spot repairs are substantially required to be finished within seven days. For high-traffic POS, our maintenance personnel will strive to ensure that on-the-spot repairs are completed within the shortest possible time.

If the assessment determines that on-the-spot repair is not feasible, the maintenance personnel will coordinate to have the massage equipment returned to our warehouse or sent back to our manufacturer for repair and promptly deploy replacement massage equipment from warehouse nearby to ensure continued operations at that POS, which is substantially required to be completed within seven days, subject to adjustment based on the actual circumstances. In such case, the downtime would also be minimal and our POS operation would not be suspended or affected due to such repair purpose. We have established a dedicated internal control policy for the process of the return-to-factory repair and upgrade. By managing the entire process of massage equipment repair and upgrade, we can ensure the quality of repairs and upgrades, improve operational efficiency, and achieve effective control over repair and upgrade costs. Once the faulty massage equipment has been returned to the warehouse or manufacturer, we will arrange for repairs in due course. After the repair is completed, the massage equipment will be temporarily stored at the warehouses or factory until it is needed for redeployment at a POS, depending on the geographical location and our strategic placement of the massage equipment at the time.

In addition to the above mentioned offline maintenance measures, including both routine maintenance and corrective maintenance, we also monitor the operational status of our POS and massage equipment through our LMB Links, to ensure remotely proper functioning. We have also entered into arrangements with some sizeable Site Managers to assist us in maintaining the safety of the POS sites and in preventing vandalism of our massage equipment. With these multiple layers of safeguarding measures, we are able to effectively mitigate the risk of equipment damage.

We also place great emphasis on the daily cleanliness management of our POS and massage equipment. Depending on the availability of personnel and resources at the relevant POS sites, our cleaning work is partly undertaken by our in-house professional maintenance team and partly outsourced to Local Partners and third-party maintenance service providers. We have established dedicated protocols to guide the daily cleanliness of our POS. The aforementioned personnel carry out regular cleaning of our massage equipment in strict accordance with the established protocols.

Our POS Network

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we had a POS network of over 48,000 POS, covering 31 provincial-level administrative divisions and 339 cities. We carefully consider the unique characteristics of each POS including the geographical location and consumption scenario, enabling us to design and decorate each location in a way that aligns with our target consumers' preferences and enhances the consumer satisfaction across POS.

During the Track Record Period, our POS were mainly located in relatively developed regions in PRC, including the tier one cities, new tier one cities and tier two cities. As at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as at 31 March 2025, 11.32%, 11.66%, 11.57% and 11.62% of our POS were located in tier one cities, 28.82%, 28.75%, 27.08% and 26.85% of our POS were located in new tier one cities, 20.59%, 21.87%, 22.41% and 22.36% of our POS were located in tier two cities and 39.26%, 37.71%, 38.94% and 39.17% of our POS were located in others, respectively. With denser population, higher level of income and greater mobility, cities of higher tiers generally generate higher sales per order and consumer frequency. Therefore, although mechanical massage service is more commonly found in the cities of high tiers, we still plan to continuously deepen our market penetration in tier one cities, new tier one cities and tier two cities. We also expect to establish more POS in cities other than tier one cities, new tier one cities and tier two cities, where mechanical massage service space remains less common, for bigger room for expansion in the upcoming years.

Majority of our POS are located at consumption scenarios with high consumer traffic including commercial complex cinema and traffic hubs such as airport and high-speed rail station. Save for POS inside the theater hall of the cinema which are operated only under Direct Mode, all other consumption scenarios are operated under both Direct Mode and Partner Mode. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have established POS at (i) 5,132 commercial complexes with a GFA of over 30,000 square meters, accounting for approximately 69.0% of commercial complexes with a GFA of over 30,000 square meters in China; (ii) 1,237 cinemas with an annual box office exceeding RMB five million, accounting for approximately 55.0% of cinemas in China with an annual box office exceeding RMB five million; and (iii) 23 airports with an annual passenger throughput exceeding 10 million, accounting for approximately 58.0% of airports in China with an annual passenger throughput exceeding 10 million. While further consolidating our scale advantage in the aforementioned consumption scenarios, we will also continue to expand our market share in other consumption scenarios with smaller coverage, such as transportation service and rest areas, e-sports spaces, office buildings and other consumption scenarios to further diversify our presence in the market.

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, revenue generated from our five top-performing POS in each year/period accounted to 1.03%, 1.04%, 0.79% and 0.60% of our total revenue of the same year/period.

Pricing

Through years of operation, our mechanical massage services have gradually become standardized, adhering to uniform service and pricing standards. At the same time, specific pricing is subject to adjustments based on differences in the massage programs selected by consumers, the geographical location, consumption scenario and cost involved. Such price adjustment of any POS is feasible through the IoT technologies of our LMB Links.

  • Massage programs selected by consumers. Our mini program allows consumers to select their own massage mode, and our service charges will be adjusted accordingly depending on consumers' selection of massage programs based on their own requirements.

  • Geographical location. In general, our service charge is higher at POS located in tier-one cities, new tier-one cities and tier-two cities, while our service charge is lower at POS located in other cities.
  • Consumption scenario. Our service charge is generally higher in transportation hubs including the airports and high-speed rail stations, taking into the account the higher upfront investment costs. Our service charge in commercial complexes and cinemas tend to be lower compared to that in airports and high-speed rail stations.
  • Cost involved at the POS. We would also consider the cost involved in site occupancy, design and decoration, operation and maintenance the POS and may adjust our service charge accordingly. For instance, if the cost incurred at a POS is higher for site occupancy fee, decoration or maintenance purposes, we may increase the service charge at such POS.

Our LMB Links

Our nationwide operations rely on our digital operational capabilities. Since the inception of the Lemobar brand in 2016, we have been continuously investing in digital infrastructure. We have built LMB Links, a comprehensive digital platform that supplies all aspects of our operations, including POS site selection, design and decoration of POS, operation and maintenance of the POS, marketing and promotion, price and payment management, supply chain management, middle-office operations and back-office data processing, which enables us to achieve operational excellence. Our mechanical massage equipment operating under both Direct Mode and Partner Mode is equipped with communication technology, connecting to our LMB Links through cloud technology provided by third-party cloud service providers. This enables us to monitor the operational status in real time and perform remote operation and maintenance of the equipment. At the same time, LMB Links also collects and analyzes operational information transmitted from the massage equipment, providing data support to enhance our service levels, optimize operational strategies, and set operational goals.

Set forth is an introduction of the system of our LMB Links:

  • Consumer Operation System: We have independently developed a consumer operation system that facilitates consumption information, order management, marketing promotion, and comprehensive data collection. We collect relevant business information, equipment information and order information through our consumer operation system leveraging our IoT technology. During the collection of such information, we may collect and store the following personal information (in compliance with applicable laws and regulations): consumer account information, order information, coupon information, points details and health-related information. Through this analysis, we are able to conduct targeted marketing and promotional services, as well as implement customized operations, to enhance consumer engagement and satisfaction, thereby improving consumer stickiness.

example, we obtain the consumption frequency of end customers by collecting the order information over a period of time. If a decrease in consumption frequency is observed during these periods, targeted coupons or promotional packages that match their consumption habits will be sent to encourage their spending. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we had a cumulative number of identifiable service consumers of over 165 million and have completed approximately 414 million transactions, with an average of 0.22 million transactions per day from 1 January 2024 to the Latest Practicable Date. Our Directors consider that we can support 0.50 million consumers simultaneously for use of the mechanical massage equipment nationwide during the peak hours. The system can receive up the concurrent consumer request volume of data for up to 2,000 TPS. In addition, our consumer operation system supports real-time order management, including order generation, payment confirmation, and service provision, ensuring the smooth delivery of services to consumers.

  • Equipment Maintenance System: We have an equipment maintenance system in relation to equipment fault diagnosis and repair, remote upgrades, spare parts management and allocation, as well as maintenance planning. Additionally, we have a operation and maintenance team that receives abnormal information identified by the system in real-time and promptly carries out repairs. With the support of our equipment maintenance system, the efficiency of our operation and maintenance team has been greatly improved. Furthermore, the system allows us to create scientifically-based maintenance and inspection plans using equipment operation data, aiming to optimize equipment performance and extend its lifespan, while simultaneously reducing operational and maintenance costs.

  • Business Management System: As an integral part of LMB Links, the business management system integrates core functions including contract management, supply chain management, service network management, and operational data analysis. In terms of contract management, the system enables precise management of the entire contract lifecycle automatically, effectively enhancing contract execution efficiency and compliance. For supply chain management, the system helps optimize supply chain workflows, thereby reducing operational costs and improving service response time. For POS management, the system provides real-time monitoring of the operational status of service outlet, enabling effective and real-time POS management. On the operational data analysis front, the system allows us to conduct in-depth analysis of operational data, enabling us to accurately capture market trends, provide support for decision-making, and drive sustainable and healthy business growth.

We have adopted various preventive and control measures to protect our LMB Links against DDoS attacks, or other hacking and phishing attacks, such as application firewalls, real-time monitoring and control mechanisms to discover any malicious traffic or intrusion attacks and adjust the traffic of the DDoS protection from time to time, and regular system inspections and reviews to identify and tackle threats and system risks. In the past, although we have encountered minor external DDoS attacks which led to insignificant disruptions to our operation. We have encountered minor DDoS attacks targeting our server in Shanghai from December 2024 to May 2025 lasting for cumulative of approximately 7 hours which led to interrupted access to our mini-program for all models of massage equipment for less than 2 hours in aggregate or interrupted operation of models including X1 to X8. Given that the aforesaid DDoS attacks led to estimated loss of income of approximately RMB0.2 million (estimated with reference to the transaction value recorded during the recovery period on affected dates), our Directors consider that the attacks did not affect the Group's business operations and financial performance in any material respects. Subsequent to the DDoS attacks, we have strengthened the aforesaid preventive and control measures, including strengthening the monitoring and control mechanisms and adjustment of the traffic of the DDoS protection. We had not encountered any major interruptions, obstructions, or attacks on our LMB Links, or any major operational disruptions during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date.

Other Business

During the Track Record Period, we also (i) generated revenue through display of advertisement in the form of pop-up banners through our Wechat mini program and official account, and (ii) sold a variety of massage equipment and massage accessories for household use, through e-commerce platforms including JD, Tmall, Douyin and Youzan to retail consumers. These businesses, as supplementary to our mechanical massage service, help us increase the brand exposure of Lemobar and diversify our business structure.

For our digital advertising business, we primarily generate revenue by placing advertisements on our owned traffic platforms, including our mini-programs and official accounts. Our digital advertising business adopts a diversified pricing model based on the value of the advertising space, including cost per thousand impressions model, cost per click model, and cost per conversion model.

For our online e-commerce business, we mainly sell various household massage chairs and massage accessories (such as fascia guns, U-shaped pillows, massage shoulder straps, and headrest massagers) that we commission for production on platforms such as JD, Tmall, Douyin, and Youzan. The selling prices for these products are primarily determined based on the production cost and the market rate. During the Track Record Period, the selling price for the household massage products offered by us through online e-commerce ranged from approximately RMB160 to RMB23,000.

Our Customer Relationship Management

We have been dedicated to customer management, maintenance and retention.

For our Local Partners, we would enter into service agreements with each of them and formulated various manuals and standards to manage and maintain our business relationship. See “— Our Business Segments — Mechanical Massage Service — Direct Mode and Partner Mode” for details.

For consumers, we have established a membership system to enhance consumer retention by offering recharge service for our members. After registering as a member on our mini program, members can enjoy a discount up to 50% every Wednesday, along with other discounts available at other times. Consumers may top up their accounts on mini program as needed.

We place great importance on our consumers' feedback and actively collect consumer opinions to improve our service quality. We collect consumer feedback through different channels, including consumer surveys and online review solicitations, and evaluate the responses to continually optimize our business operations. Due to the sizeable POS network maintained by our Group and substantial consumer number due to our business nature, we would receive consumer complaints and reports of minor accidents on various matters such as service duration, our discount packages, service charges and cleanliness conditions from time to time. During the Track Record Period, the number of consumer complaints and reports of minor accidents requesting compensation was approximately 81,000, 133,000, 224,000 and 63,000 for the years ended 31 December, 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, respectively, representing approximately 0.20%, 0.22%, 0.29% and 0.30% of the total number of orders with transaction value generated in the corresponding year/period.

To address consumer complaints related to service quality from our nationwide POS, we have established a customer service team and implemented a series of procedures, including (i) timely communication with consumers and proactive resolution of issues; (ii) identifying the causes of complaints and conducting investigations into the relevant POS if necessary; and (iii) recording consumer feedback to enhance future monitoring and maintenance of our POS and mechanical massage equipment. We may consider to provide discount coupons and/or refunds on a case-by-case basis to resolve the consumer complaints, as and when appropriate. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we were not aware of any material consumer complaints, accident, injuries or other claims which may cause a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

SALES AND MARKETING

We are committed to promoting our brand image, our POS and related products and services. The marketing activities in respect of the POS are carried by our Group substantially but we would also support the Local Partners to conduct their own marketing plan for the POS that they operate. We have shifted more towards online marketing activities through online platforms or social media such as Wechat, Douyin, Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Meituan, Kuaishou, and to reach a broader spectrum of potential consumers and expand our consumer base. In particular, we have joined the "Local Life" (本地生活) platform on various social media including Douyin and Kuaishou to strengthen our consumer reach in different local regions in the PRC.

We have offered various prepaid cards and packages, mainly including (i) top-up in the form of deposits paid by consumers into their accounts (which are refundable before they are consumed); and (ii) prepaid massage service packages sold to consumers which entitle them to have specified quantities of access to mechanical massage services within a fixed period of validity (which are non-refundable), for offering a more favourable price for bulk purchase. The prepaid cards and packages are generally sold at a discount and the fees are required to be paid by the consumers at the time of order. We have also set up a membership program for increasing consumer stickiness. Our members are entitled to enjoy regular weekly discount and other ad-hoc discounts offered by us from time to time.

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, the amount of top-up in the form of deposits paid by consumers was RMB40.54 million, RMB61.17 million, RMB62.34 million and RMB15.32 million, respectively, and the amount of revenue realised from such top-up amount in the form of deposits under the Direct Mode was RMB15.40 million, RMB30.28 million, RMB35.49 million and RMB8.89 million, in the same year/period, respectively.

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, the amount of prepaid massage service packages sold was RMB16.68 million, RMB25.34 million, RMB119.72 million and RMB40.43 million, respectively, and the amount of revenue realised from such prepaid massage service packages under the Direct Mode was RMB7.27 million, RMB11.81 million, RMB80.47 million and RMB28.49 million, in the same year/period, respectively. In 2024, the amount of prepaid massage service packages sold and the corresponding revenue increased significantly, mainly due to the following reasons: 1) the Company newly introduced a two-person deal package in POS of theater halls in the cinemas in 2024; and 2) the Company optimized the layout, presentation, and recommendation strategy of the prepaid massage service packages on the Lemobar mini program's payment interface, including lowering the number of orders bundled in the prepaid package and upgrade of the service involved.

There is a practical difficulty to identify the amount of revenue realised from top-up amount in the form of deposits and prepaid massage service packages under the Partner Mode, given the total revenue recognised under the Partner Mode is required to be adjusted based on a contractual minimum and maximum amount where applicable, and thus the adjustment amount made on revenue from typical transaction (the payment method of which is not prepaid cards and packages) and the adjustment amount made on revenue from prepaid cards and packages cannot be accurately segregated. During the Track Record Period, the total transaction value generated from prepaid cards and packages under the Partner Mode amounted to approximately RMB26.51 million, RMB35.34 million, RMB52.49 million and RMB13.96 million for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, representing approximately 4.77%, 3.88%, 4.52% and 4.49% of our total transaction value for the same year/period.

For details on the settlement process via prepaid cards and packages, see “— Our Business Segments — Mechanical Massage Service — Direct Mode and Partner Mode”.

The refundable top-up deposits are recognised as "receipts in advance" and included in "trade and other payables" upon receipt, and the non-refundable prepaid massage service packages are recognised as "contract liabilities" upon receipt. When the advance payments from consumers are consumed at our POSs, we recognise the transaction amount as the mechanical massage service revenue under the Direct Mode. When the advance payments from consumers are consumed at the Local Partner's POSs, we recognise the portion of the transaction value relating to the mechanical massage POS operation support service as revenue

which is subject to review and adjustment during the monthly settlement process, and transfer the remaining transaction value from "receipts in advance" or "contract liabilities" to "other payables" under the Partner Mode.

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, our selling and distribution expenses amounted to RMB42.75 million, RMB77.11 million, RMB113.87 million and RMB29.63 million, respectively.

SUPPLIERS AND PROCUREMENT

Our major suppliers are POS site providers in the PRC, manufacturers that supply massage equipment and related devices, and manufacturers that supply raw materials and spare parts to be used in decoration of POS site and repair and maintenance of massage equipment, including protective cases, wires and gateways, L-shaped panels, lightboxes, chips, mainboards and other accessories. For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, our purchases from our five largest suppliers in each year/period during the Track Record Period amounted to RMB66.77 million, RMB149.48 million, RMB162.44 million and RMB41.76 million, respectively, accounting for 32.7%, 35.4%, 28.9% and 32.3% of our total purchases for the same year/period, respectively. For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, our purchases from our largest supplier in each year during the Track Record Period amounted to RMB23.68 million, RMB62.73 million, RMB63.90 million and RMB11.42 million, respectively, accounting for 11.6%, 14.9%, 11.4% and 8.8% of our total purchases for the same year/period, respectively. To the best knowledge of our Directors, save for one of our five largest suppliers for the three months ended 31 March 2025, namely Fujian Rovos, none of our Directors, their close associates or our Shareholders who hold more than 5% of our issued share capital had any interest in our five largest suppliers in each year/period during the Track Record Period. For details of Fujian Rovos, see the section headed "Connected Transactions". We generally settle with our five largest suppliers in each year/period during the Track Record Period on a quarterly basis in general.

We have adopted a centralised procurement system for better assessment on the track record of suppliers, more effective quality control and more favourable terms due to bulk purchases. The procurement department would collect procurement requests from all other departments on a weekly/monthly basis before consolidating a procurement plan for our Group. We seek to select our suppliers under a stringent approach to ensure a stable supply of massage equipment, related devices and related raw materials of good quality at reasonable cost. We have maintained a pool of suppliers which had previously undergone and passed our qualification assessment. The ability of offering quality materials, punctuality of delivery and pricing are the key factors when we assess our suppliers. We conduct annual review on our pool of suppliers so as to ensure their product or service quality, delivery performance and supply prices continuously meet our requirements. We would regularly compare the fee quotations among the suppliers and when necessary, we would further negotiate with each of them to obtain a more favourable quotation.

Procurement of Mechanical Massage Equipment and Related Accessories and Spare Parts

We engage (i) manufacturers to produce massage equipment and related devices; and (ii) suppliers for provision of spare parts to be used in production and repairment of massage equipment, strictly according to our specifications. We select the manufacturers and suppliers based on a range of factors, including industry experience, product quality, price, after-sale services, and payment terms. We entered into framework agreement with our manufacturers and suppliers with the salient contents summarized as follows:

  • Term:
    One year in general.

  • Scope of work:
    During the term, the manufacturers and the suppliers of spare parts are required to schedule production or provision (as the case may be) based on the orders placed by us from time to time.

  • Pricing and purchase commitment:
    The purchase price per (i) massage equipment and related devices; and (ii) spare parts and the minimum quantity per order are fixed at the time of agreement. Any change of the purchase price shall be subject to our consent.

Procurement of sites for operation of our POS

For procurement of sites for operation of our POS, we enter into the site occupancy agreement with the relevant Site Managers. See “— Our Business Segments — mechanical massage service — Direct Mode and Partner Mode — Direct Mode” for details.

Inventory Management

We actively monitor our level of inventory, including massage equipment and related devices, raw materials, spare parts, accessories stored at the warehouses of our manufacturers and our own warehouses. Our manufacturers are required to provide the data in respect of the stock level of our massage equipment and related equipment, key raw materials and spare parts stored at their warehouse so that we can maintain regularly the records on our enterprise resource planning system and monitor and supervise the inventory level and management. Our enterprise resource planning system is to record the inventory level in stock at the warehouses of our manufacturers and our own warehouses and keep track of the level of inventory incoming and outgoing. We have set a warning line as minimal level for our inventories, particularly massage equipment and we will request production or increase procurement volume as our inventory level approaches the warning line. The procurement department would perform regular stock takes to inspect the conditions of the inventory at the warehouses of our manufacturers and our own warehouses and identify if there are any slow-moving or obsolete conditions.

OVERLAPPING OF CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS

During the Track Record Period, some of our major customers were also our suppliers as these major customers would procure comprehensive mechanical massage services solution from us as our Local Partners while they would also provide us with maintenance service as suppliers. We entered into such business arrangement as these Local Partners operate POS in the regions in where our directly-operated POS are also located. Taking into account that the Local Partners possess operational and maintenance resources in the local area and are familiar with our POS maintenance standards and procedures, their involvement in providing operation and maintenance services to us offers regional convenience, helps control costs, and enhances operational efficiency. Given these Local Partners independently handle the operation and maintenance of their own POS, they can leverage their experience to better understand and meet our specific operation and maintenance requirements. In transactions involving operation and maintenance service with the relevant Local Partners, we reserve the right to adjust the service fees based on the performance of the respective POS. Our Directors confirmed that all of our sales to and purchases from these overlapping major customers and suppliers were conducted in the ordinary course of business under normal commercial terms and on arm's length basis. Negotiations of the terms of our sales to and purchases from these overlapping major customers and suppliers were conducted separately and independently from each other.

During the Track Record Period, Customer A, Customer B, Customer C, Customer D, Customer E and Customer F were our major customers and are also our suppliers.

See "Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Our results of operation depend on the level of foot traffic and consumption and are thus subject to seasonal fluctuations."

COMPETITION

We operate in China's mechanical massage service industry. According to Frost & Sullivan, the mechanical massage service market in China is highly concentrated, with a few leading companies dominating the majority of the market. These top players leverage their extensive distribution networks in high-traffic locations like commercial complex, cinemas and traffic hubs allowing them to capture a substantial consumer base. According to Frost & Sullivan, we ranked first among all mechanical massage service providers in the PRC in terms of transaction value for three consecutive years from 2022 to 2024, representing a market share of $33.9\%$ , $37.3\%$ and $42.9\%$ in the corresponding year, respectively.

We are committed to conserving energy and water and reducing our carbon footprint. We primarily consume electricity and petroleum in our operational activities, which are the main sources of our greenhouse gas emissions. To reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and conserve energy and water, we have adopted the following targets and measures:

A. Energy and Water Consumption at our Office Premises and Warehouses Metrics and targets.

We evaluate our energy consumption using the metric of average annual power usage and water consumption using the metric of average annual water usage per sq.m at our office premises and warehouses (including processing and repair facility). For the three years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, our estimated overall power usage was approximately 231,000 KWh, 320,000 KWh, 445,000 KWh and 70,000 KWh and overall water usage was approximately 1,515,000 liters, 1,827,000 liters, 2,941,000 liters and 753,000 liters, respectively. We will seek to reduce the level of our per capita overall annual energy and water consumption by 1% over the next three years.

Measures leading to the targets. We have taken various measures, including replacing high energy consuming equipment at offices and warehouses to reduce energy consumption. For instance, we continuously monitor the energy consumption at our office premises and warehouses and repair timely when malfunction of relevant facilities resulting in abnormal power consumption. We have also taken various initiatives to conserve water. We regularly inspect our water tanks to prevent water leakage. We also seek to raise energy and water consumption awareness among our employees.

B. Energy Consumption of our Mechanical Massage Equipment

Metrics and targets. We endeavor to proactively conserve energy in response to the government's initiatives. We evaluate the level of energy consumption of our mechanical massage equipment with the metric of overall annual power usage of all our POS. For the three years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, our estimated overall power usage of all our POS was approximately 1,746,000 kWh, 2,710,000 kWh, 3,659,000 kWh and 984,000 kWh, respectively. We will seek to reduce the level of our average annual power usage per machine by approximately 1% over the next three years.

Measures leading to the targets. We have continuously optimized our machine design to reduce energy consumption. We place our machines at indoor and shaded areas, and adjust the cabinet temperature in accordance with the change of seasons to reduce energy needed for cooling and/or heating of merchandise. The refrigeration units of our machines are regularly cleaned to remove the dusts and enhance energy efficiency traffic. We also switch our machines to energy-saving mode during time with low consumer to reduce energy consumption for lighting and cooling.

C. Factory Pollutant Discharge

Metrics and targets. We endeavor to proactively reduce factory pollutant discharge in response to the government's initiatives. The waste emitted by our factory mainly consists of solid waste and hazardous waste. For solid waste emissions, our solid waste emissions for the three years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025 were 228.3 tons, 623.9 tons, 256.8 tons and 22.59 tons, respectively. For hazardous waste, our hazardous waste for the three years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended 31 March 2025 were nil, 171.5 kilograms, 172.5 kilograms and nil, respectively. We will seek to reduce the level of our factory pollutant discharge by approximately 5% over the next three years.

We will seek to reduce the level of our per capita overall GHG emissions by 5% over the next three years.

Measures leading to the targets. To reduce GHG emissions, we would (i) implement paper conservation strategies by optimizing computer and printer settings for double-sided printing and ink-saving mode, promoting the use of electronic communication technology, monitoring and setting print limits for users when applicable, and conducting periodic reviews to identify areas for improvement; and (ii) promoting sustainable transportation practices among employees by encouraging the use of public transportation, prioritizing direct flights for necessary business travel, and utilizing video conferences as a viable alternative to non-essential business trips.

E. Green office initiatives

As part of our effort to promote green office concepts, we would (i) conduct environmental education and campaigns to encourage employees to adopt a pro-environment and sustainability mindset and minimise their negative impacts on the environment; (ii) implement internal policies and measures in the workplace that are designed to reduce water consumption, energy consumption and our overall carbon footprint; (iii) carry out activities from time to time to enhance staff awareness of the importance of protecting the environment in their day-to-day life; (iv) continue to explore new ways to conduct business as well as new technologies to enable us to operate in an environmentally friendly manner; and (v) enhance our water and waste management, with reminders issued to our employees.

F. Equipment phasing-out and upgrade

We are committed to optimizing the utilization of our massage equipment to extend its service life and minimize unnecessary waste due to wear and tear and malfunction. Used massage equipment would be sent to our processing and repair facility for upgrades and repairment as and when required. For details, see “— Our Processing and Repair Facility”. For obsolete massage equipment, we would disassemble the massage equipment, conducted disposal only of the defective components, and recycled the remaining parts by refurbishing and incorporating them into other massage equipment. This approach allowed us to reduce unnecessary waste and improve overall massage equipment utilization efficiency.

Moving forward, we will further strengthen our supervision of our suppliers and enhance incoming inspections of our massage equipment to prevent large-scale massage equipment failures. Meanwhile, we will also reinforce regular inspections and maintenance of our massage equipment to ensure their service life.

Social Responsibilities and Governance

A. Labor practice

We highly value the contribution made by all employees to our business and society, and strive to create a fair and equal workplace for all employees regardless of their gender. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, including gender, disability, age, race, nationality or family status. Our Group is committed to embracing diversity and ensuring equal and respectful treatment of all employees throughout their hiring, training, wellness, and professional and personal development. This commitment extends to all employee activities and human resources matters, including recruitment, promotion, transfer, rewards, and training.

By maximizing equal career opportunities for everyone, we strive to create an inclusive environment that fosters growth and development. Additionally, we promote work-life balance and work diligently to maintain a pleasant workplace for all employees. Our dedication to these principles ensures that every individual feels valued and supported, contributing to a positive organizational culture.

B. Employee benefits and training

We target to provide comprehensive employee benefits including the provision of paid leave for annual leave, sick leave, marriage leave, and maternity leave, all designed to respect employees' needs at various stages of their lives. Additionally, we celebrate employees' birthdays with parties and gifts, and regularly conduct team-building activities to strengthen relationships and enhance team cohesion. This holistic approach fosters a supportive work environment that prioritizes employee well-being and engagement.

We have striven to provide training and promotion opportunities to our employees to promote sense of belongings and work dedication. Our new employees are required to attend orientation training and existing employees would regularly attend different training programmes. Such training would be provided to employees based on their work positions and performance and we would ensure no discrimination occurs due to gender, age, nationality, or other factors.

C. Occupational Health and Safety

Although we do not believe that we are subject to any significant risks related to occupational health and safety, we are committed to a safe and healthy working environment for our employees.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

BUSINESS

We have formulated staff safety manuals as guidelines on minimising the risk of work-related accidents and injuries and procedures for reporting and handling work-related accidents and injuries for our employees. We also conduct training sessions to raise the personal safety awareness of our employees especially for those engaging in maintenance, cleaning and processing work.

D. Supply chain management

We place great emphasis on supply chain sustainability and have been promoting a responsible and low-carbon paradigm along our value chain. Our supplier chain management is guided by our commitment to establishing a well-defined supplier management procedure and implementing a rigorous supplier risk management process.

The procurement department are primarily responsible for liaising the logistical arrangements in the supply chain. Our staff will prioritize selecting nearby logistics teams based on the geographical location involved in the deliveries. During the delivery, we will prioritize vehicles that have lower energy consumption and choose routes that minimize transportation time.

For packaging aspects, we would require our third-party manufacturers to use more suitable materials, such as utilizing biodegradable or recyclable materials for packaging. Meanwhile, the packaging is still required to pass certain anti-vibration and drop tests so as to ensure the raw materials, massage equipment, other spare parts would not be damaged during the transit process.

We have established a supplier approval process, through which suppliers must provide relevant qualifications or certifications, such as their business licenses or equipment production and operation licenses. We would consider their quality and environmental management capabilities as one of the evaluation criteria. If the suppliers are not compliant with the applicable laws and regulations and quality or commit misconducts, we would request them to rectify and in the event they fail to do so, we may consider to terminate our contracts with them. We generally require suppliers to provide environmentally friendly products based on business needs. This includes encouraging suppliers to minimize the waste of raw materials and spare parts during production and design processes.

We believe good supply chain management practices to ensure quality, reliability and efficiency of products. Suppliers are evaluated based on the following criteria: quality system documents, procurement and supplier management, engineering management, warehouse management, quality management, and product management. Only suppliers who meet these criteria will be considered for recruitment or selection.

E. Social responsibility

Following our core value of business integrity, we are strongly committed to achieving social responsibility and participation in community services. We endeavour to support the local community with an aim to create sustainable benefits through corporate philanthropy and community partnerships. During the Track Record Period, we organised various community initiatives and charity campaigns. For instance, we organised donation activities such as “One square of love” (爱的一平方) for encouraging public to make donation for automated external defibrillators. We believe the above events help embrace our business partners and customers into our commitment to social responsibility.

We treat each of our employees as an important business partner based on our vision of sharing the fruitful results of the hard work of the Group as a whole. Our value is to give equal and respectful treatment and strive to promote wellness, professional and personal development for all of our employees and strive to promote work-life balance and create a happy culture in our workplace. We will also continue to provide training sessions and guidelines and enhance our internal policies to strengthen occupational health and safety for the wellness of our employees.

We plan to adopt and implement a set of more comprehensive and concrete policies on environmental, social and governance in consistent with industry standards and in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules upon the [REDACTED].

Our Directors confirm that during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had obtained all necessary licences, approvals, permits and registration required for carrying on our business operation in all material respects in the PRC. Our Directors further confirm that our Group has complied, in all material respects, with the applicable laws and regulations as set out in the section headed "Regulatory Overview" in this document during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date. As confirmed by our Directors, we are not aware of any material difficulty in the renewal of material licences when they expire. Our Group shall keep track of the expiry dates of all relevant licences and certifications and apply for timely renewal.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, no member of our Group had been involved in any legal, arbitration or administrative proceedings, including bankruptcy or receivership proceedings, whether actual or threatened, that we believe would have a material adverse effect to our business, results of operations, financial condition or reputation. Also, our Directors had not been involved in any actual or threatened claims or litigations of material impact. However, we may from time to time become a party to various legal, arbitration or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial cost and diversion of our resources, including our management's time and attention.

During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, as advised by the PRC Legal Advisers, we had not been subject to any fines or other penalties due to non-compliance in all material respect.

Non-compliance

We are subject to a wide range of PRC laws and regulations in the ordinary course of business. For details, please refer to the section headed "Regulatory Overview" in this document.

Leased Properties Pending Building Ownership Certificates

As of the Latest Practicable Date, with respect to 22 properties used for non-mechanical massage service purposes, which mainly comprise properties used as warehouses, office and dormitories, representing approximately 36.7% of these properties, and 77 properties used for the establishment of mechanical massage service POS, the lessors have been unable to provide sufficient and valid building ownership certificates to demonstrate their rights to lease the properties, nor have they furnished proof of authorization from the property owners to sub-lease the properties to us.

As advised by our PRC Legal Adviser, without ownership certificates or proof of authorizations from the property owners, our use of these defective leased properties may be affected by third parties' claims or challenges against the lease or our land use rights. Pursuant to the applicable PRC Law, if the lessors do not have the requisite rights to lease these properties, the relevant lease agreements may be deemed invalid and we may be required to vacate these properties. However, in the event that we are unable to continue using such properties due to third parties' claims or challenges against the leases or our land use rights, based on the advice of our PRC Legal Advisor, we, as the tenant, will have the right to claim compensation from the lessors, unless otherwise provided by laws or agreed by both parties.

In view of the foregoing, our Directors are of the view that the abovementioned title defects will not materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations on the grounds that: (i) our leases with respect to these defective leased properties had not been subject to claims or disputes in connection with rights to lease and use such leased properties in all material respects during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, (ii) we would be able to relocate to a different site relatively easily on comparable commercial terms and at similar prices with immaterial relocation costs, considering that (a) the substitutability of our warehouses, office and dormitories is high without special requisite conditions, and (b) there are sufficient alternative leased properties available in the applicable regions; and (iii) considering these defective leased properties are geographically dispersed across mainland China under the jurisdiction of different local governmental authorities, we believe it is unlikely that we would be at the same time subject to claims of rights from various third parties or required by the governmental authorities to relocate with respect to a significant number of these defective leased properties.

Lease Registration

Pursuant to the applicable PRC Law, property lease contracts must be registered with the local branch of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the PRC. As of the Latest Practicable Date, 119 of our lease agreements with landlords were not registered with the relevant government authorities in mainland China. This was primarily due to the difficulty in procuring our lessors' cooperation in registering such leases.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

BUSINESS

Our PRC Legal Advisor advised us that, according to the applicable PRC Law, the non-registration would not affect the validity of these lease agreements, but we, as the lessee, may be required by the relevant authorities in mainland China to register the relevant lease agreements within a prescribed time limit. If we fail to do so, we may be subject to fines ranging from RMB1,000 to RMB10,000 for each non-registered lease agreement. The potential maximum penalty with respect to fines that we may be exposed to due to non-registration of lease as at the Latest Practicable Date would be approximately RMB1.19 million. However, as of the Latest Practicable Date, we had not been order to register our lease agreements or fined by the relevant authorities in mainland China with respect to these lease agreements. In view of the foregoing, our Directors are of the view that non-registration of these lease agreements will not materially and adversely affect our business operations.

For further details on the risks associated with our leased properties, see "Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Defects related to certain of our properties may adversely affect our ability to use such properties."

Social Insurance and Housing Provident Funds

Background and Reasons for Non-compliance

According to the relevant PRC Law, we are required to make contributions to social insurance and housing provident fund for the benefit of our employees in mainland China. During the Track Record Period and as of the Latest Practicable Date, our subsidiaries in mainland China did not make full contribution to the social insurance and housing provident funds for our employees in accordance with the relevant PRC Law.

As confirmed by our Directors, we are unable to make full social insurance and housing provident funds contributions on the statutory base for such employees due to (i) employees' unwillingness to have social insurance and housing provident fund contributions to the full extent based on the statutory base due to the requirement that they co-contribute and their own personal considerations; and (ii) the lack of experience of our relevant personnel who did not fully understand the relevant requirements of the relevant PRC laws and regulations.

Potential Legal Consequences

As advised by our PRC Legal Advisor, pursuant to relevant PRC Law, (i) the under-contribution of social insurance within a prescribed period may be subject to an overdue charge of 0.05% of the delayed payment amount per day and the competent authority may further impose a fine of one to three times of the overdue amount if such payment is not made within the stipulated period; and (ii) in respect of outstanding housing provident fund contributions, we may be ordered to pay the outstanding housing provident fund contributions within a prescribed time period. An application may be made to a people's court for compulsory enforcement if the payment of the outstanding housing provident fund contributions is not made after the expiration of the time limit. As of the Latest Practicable Date, as confirmed by our Directors, no administrative action, fine or penalty had been

BUSINESS

imposed by the relevant regulatory authorities with respect to our social insurance contributions and housing provident funds, nor had we received any order or been informed to settle the deficit amount, in material respects. The provisions we made on our financial statements in respect of contributions to the social insurance and housing provident funds, which were equivalent to the unpaid shortfalls of the social insurance and housing provident fund contributions in the corresponding year, were RMB2.26 million, RMB5.19 million, RMB9.64 million and RMB10.83 million, as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as at 31 March 2025, respectively, given that our employee headcount has been steadily increasing over the past three years.

Remedial Measures

We have implemented our policy on the payment of social insurance and housing provident fund contribution for employees in compliance with relevant PRC Law. We actively encourage and make such contributions for our employees. Despite our efforts, we were unable to pay in full the outstanding social insurance contributions and housing provident fund contributions for some of our employees due to their unwillingness to participate in the relevant schemes. As soon as they agree that we make the relevant social security insurance and housing provident fund contributions for them, we will make such contributions for them accordingly from that point of time onwards. Moreover, we have taken the following rectification measures to mitigate future occurrence of such non-compliances as at the Latest Practicable Date:

  • Training and Advice. Consult our PRC Legal Advisor for advice on relevant PRC Law, and strengthen legal compliance training to our personnel, including by engaging our PRC Legal Advisor to provide training to our personnel to keep us abreast of latest development of the relevant regulations;
  • Policy. Enhance our human resources management policies, which require social insurance and housing provident fund contributions to be made in full in accordance with applicable laws and regulations;
  • Review and record-keeping. Designate our human resources staff to calculate and check the employee's remuneration and contributions of social insurance and housing provident fund on a monthly basis; and
  • Increasing awareness of developments in the law. Regularly keep abreast of latest developments in PRC Law in relation to social insurance and housing provident funds.

BUSINESS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we were still in the process of communicating with our employees with a view to seek their understanding and cooperation in complying with the applicable payment base, which may require additional contribution from our employees. Our employees were not willing to bear the costs associated with social insurance and housing provident funds that are required to be borne by the employees. We will continue to try to work with our employees to contribute social insurance and housing provident fund in a manner in accordance with relevant PRC laws and regulations.

Our PRC Legal Advisor has advised us that, the risk as to social insurance of our Company being ordered by the government authorities to pay the outstanding amount or the penalties is remote.

In view of the above, our Directors are of the view that such non-compliance did not and will not have a material adverse impact on our Group and our provisions for the undercontribution of social insurance and housing provident funds are adequate on the grounds that: (i) there were no material disputes between our employees and us regarding the social insurance or housing provident fund contributions during the Track Record Period; (ii) we had not been subject to any material administrative penalties during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date; and (iii) as of the Latest Practicable Date, we had not received any notification from the relevant authorities in mainland China requiring us to pay the outstanding amount or the penalties with respect to social insurance and housing provident funds.

Fire Control

During the Track Record Period, we were subject to two administrative penalties in relation to fire safety non-compliance (the "Fire Control Incidents"), with fines of approximately RMB10,000 and RMB31,000, respectively. These incidents arose from the layout of our two POSs located in commercial complexes, which may have affected fire evacuation routes due to inadvertent oversight and the lack of experience of our relevant personnel who did not fully understand the relevant requirements. We have fully paid the relevant fines and undertaken the required rectification measures, such as promptly relocating POS equipment and ensuring unobstructed access in the affected areas.

In response, the Group has implemented a series of rectification measures to mitigate the risk of recurrence and enhance overall fire safety management. These measures include training programs tailored for our staff, focusing on fire prevention, emergency response procedures, and equipment handling. Additionally, the Group has strengthened supervision and on-site inspections to ensure strict compliance with fire safety protocols. Regular drills and assessments have been introduced to continuously improve the readiness and competence of all personnel. The Group remains committed to maintaining a safe operating environment and will continue to review and update its fire control policies and training modules in line with the industry practices and regulatory requirements.

To the best knowledge of our Directors, the Fire Control Incidents were non-recurring in nature taking into account that there were only two isolated incidents within our widespread POS network during Track Record Period.

RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS

INTERESTS OF OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS IN OTHER BUSINESSES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Zhangchuang Gongying Platform, as a minority shareholder, directly held 30% equity interest in Beijing Momole, which primarily engages in the operation of massage equipment in cinemas, the remaining equity interest in Beijing Momole is held by Zhongyiing (Beijing) Technology Development Co., Ltd. (中映(北京)科技發展有限公司), which is ultimately held as to 75.5% by Zhang Wen (張雯) and 24.5% by Dong Huaizhou (董懷洲), each being an independent third party. Our Directors are of the view that the potential competition resulting from the abovementioned business between Beijing Momole and our Group is limited and immaterial due to the following reasons: (i) based on the information provided by Beijing Momole, the total revenue of Momole was less than RMB1.0 million and accounting for less than 1.0% of the total revenue of our Company for each of the three years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and it was at slight net loss of approximately RMB0.5 million for each of the three years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024; (ii) there is no overlapping of director(s) or senior management between Beijing Momole and our Company; (iii) to the best knowledge of the Directors, the business of Beijing Momole is shrinking and it has not upgraded its massage equipment for few years, plus its equipment has reached the end of normal use cycle and it did not have the plan as well as the economic strength to further update them, therefore its revenue would continue to be insignificant; (iv) none of our Company, our Shareholders or our Directors are involved in the decision making and operation of Momole and (v) to the best knowledge of the Directors, the business focus of Momole is totally different from that of our Company. Beijing Momole only set its massage equipment POS in cinemas, and it does not have its own massage equipment brand nor have established its own IT system to manage the massage equipment; while our mechanical massage service POS have covered a full range of scenarios including commercial complex, cinemas, airports, high-speed rail station, etc. and we are continuously upgrading the generation of our mechanical massage equipment and more importantly, we have established a comprehensive IT platform to monitor and improve our business operation.

As Beijing Momole is primarily engages in the operation of massage equipment in cinemas, its operation scenario and brand of massage equipment is different from that of our Group (which used our own brand of massage equipment and had not tapped into the operation scenario of cinemas by then), one of our Controlling Shareholders, Zhangchuang Gongying Platform, instead of our Group, invested in Beijing Momole (taking up a minority shareholding interest of 30%) as an attempt to explore the expansion of massage equipment into the cinema scenario in September 2017. As Zhangchuang Gongying Platform cannot control the business decision of Beijing Momole as a minority shareholder, the development of Beijing Momole is not in line with our business strategy after the investment by Zhangchuang Gonging Platform. After considering (i) the revenue contribution of Beijing Momole is insignificant compared to our Group and it incurred slight net loss after the investment; (ii) Beijing Momole primarily focused on the provision of mechanical massage equipment in the scenario of cinemas only and it has not developed or upgraded its massage equipment in the same pace as our Company, which is different from our business strategy to expand our POS network in diverse scenarios and continuously iterating and enhancing our digital mechanical massage technologies; and (iii) as a minority Shareholder, Zhangchuang Gongying cannot control the acquisition of the remaining interest in Beijing Momole, we do not inject Beijing Momole into our Group.

It is ultimately controlled by Mr. Wu Jinghua, our non-executive Director and substantial shareholder, and hence Fujian Rovos is an associate of Mr. Wu Jinghua and constitutes a connected person (as defined under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules). Upon [REDACTED], the transactions with Fujian Rovos will constitute our continuing connected transactions under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, details of which are set out below.

NON-EXEMPT CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION

Manufacturing Framework Agreement

Principal terms

On [●], our Company [has entered] into an original design manufacturer framework agreement (“Manufacturing Framework Agreement”) with Fujian Rovos, pursuant to the which Fujian Rovos and its subsidiaries would provide design and manufacturing services (“manufacturing services”) for a new model of massage equipment to our Group, with a term commencing from the [REDACTED] to 31 December 2027. The Manufacturing Framework Agreement will be renewable subject to the tender process and compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.

In addition, under the Manufacturing Framework Agreement, Fujian Rovos promised an after-sales maintenance period (“Maintenance Period”) of three years from the delivery of the relevant massage equipment, during which Fujian Rovos will offer after-sales maintenance services as well as provide spare parts to the delivered massage equipment, which will be charged with extra fees by unit.

Subject to terms of the Manufacturing Framework Agreement, the Group will enter into specific agreements or place purchase orders with Fujian Rovos and its subsidiaries to set out specific terms and conditions in respect of the manufacturing services.

CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

Pricing policy

The price for the manufacturing services contemplated under the Manufacturing Framework Agreement is determined by tender process. At least three service providers have participated in the tender. Factors that have been taken into consideration by our Company during the tender process include (i) the terms of tender proposals offered by the participating bidders, including the tender prices and their responses to the tender terms; (ii) the background, qualifications and financial position of the participating bidders; (iii) the relevant experiences and team member composition of the participating bidders; (iv) the term and scope of after-sales maintenance service proposed by the participating bidders; and (v) an indicative unit price of massage equipment is set in our tender documents based on the past tender contract price and our financial budget of the relevant service. The price for the manufacturing services may subject to adjustment through arm's length negotiation taken into consideration the (i) prevailing market price and (ii) the additional cost for technical revision, but in any event shall not exceed the prices provided to us by independent third parties.

The price for the spare parts to the massage equipment provided by Fujian Rovos during the Maintenance Period will be determined with reference to such spare parts provided to other independent third parties by Fujian Rovos and its subsidiaries, but in any event shall not exceed the prices provided to independent third parties by Fujian Rovos and its subsidiaries.

Historical figures and annual caps

For the three years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025, our aggregate purchase amount of equipment and spare parts from Fujian Rovos were RMB5.0 million, RMB1.0 million, RMB11.5 million and RMB10.5 million, respectively.

The estimated annual cap under the Manufacturing Framework Agreement for the three years ending 31 December 2027 is RMB70.0 million, RMB20.0 million and RMB2.0 million, respectively.

Basis of annual cap

The above estimated annual cap was determined based on the following factors and assumptions:

(a) the pattern of the contemplated transaction with Fujian Rovos and the life cycle of our massage equipment. As our massage equipment generally has a life cycle of three years (which is in line with the depreciation period of such massage equipment), when we entered into massage equipment manufacturing for a new model of massage equipment with our suppliers, we usually require the supplier to deliver large sum of massage equipment within the period of the first year so as to overall replace our old models and keep in line with our marketing activities for launching the new model of massage equipment. Subsequently in the second year


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

and the third year, we may only require maintenance services for the existing massage equipment (including purchasing of spare parts) and order a small sum of massage equipment from time to time to cover our newly increased POS in the year. As a result, our transaction amount with Fujian Rovos will reach its peak in the first year after entering into the Manufacturing Framework Agreement, and will decline significantly in the second and the third year.

(b) The model of massage equipment delivered by Fujian Rovos under the Manufacturing Framework Agreement is model X12, which is the representative new model of massage equipment to be promoted by our Company in 2025 and Fujian Rovos has already started the delivery of such equipment in the fourth quarter of 2024. The quantity of model X12 to be delivered is expected to reach its peak in 2025 (approximately 20,000 pieces with unit price of RMB3,180 (VAT inclusive), accounting for approximately 60% of the total sum (up to 29,000 pieces) of such equipment expected to be delivered under the Manufacturing Framework Agreement), which is in line with our marketing activities for launching the new model of massage equipment. Subsequently in 2026, the quantity of model X12 to be delivered would drop significantly as we only require a small sum of model X12 to cover our newly increased POS in the year. We expect to only purchase accessories of model X12 in 2027 to satisfy our maintenance requirements for the relevant equipment. The total purchase quantity and pattern of model X12 is generally in line with that of our other models in the previous years (i.e. we purchased 1,199 pieces, 19,842 pieces and 11,510 pieces of Model B6 for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively). For detailed specifications of model X12, please refer to "Our Business Segments — Mechanical Massage Service — Our Mechanical Massage Equipment" in the Business section.

(c) the unit price of massage equipment as agreed with Fujian Rovos in the bidding document and as advised by Frost & Sullivan, such unit price is generally in line with the market price of similar massage equipment;

(d) the historical quantity and pattern for purchasing massage equipment from manufacturing services providers by the Company; and

(e) the expected growth of our business and the anticipated increased demands for manufacturing services from us.

Reasons for the transactions

Our business primarily focuses on the provision of smart massage services and we purchased massage equipment from Fujian Rovos as well as other independent third parties, which enable us to obtain necessary materials for our business in a cost-efficient way without having to establish our own manufacturing facility. Fujian Rovos is a professional massage equipment manufacturer and has stable cooperation relationships with plenty of well-known enterprises. In addition, Fujian Rovos has a sound track record of providing manufacturing

services to us and it is familiar with our requirements. After considering its overall reputation, qualification and industry experience, tender price, response to our tender requirement and other factors, it ranked the first among all the participating bidders and won the bid through the tender process in accordance with the relevant laws.

Implications under the Listing Rules

As at least one of the applicable percentage ratios under the Listing Rules (other than the profits ratio) in respect of the annual caps in relation to the Manufacturing Framework Agreement is expected to be more than 5%, the transactions contemplated under the Manufacturing Framework Agreement are subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement, circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

PARTIALLY EXEMPT CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION

Cooperation Framework Agreement with Fujian Rovos for establishment of POS in Thailand

Principal terms

On [●], our Company [has entered] into a cooperation framework agreement ("Cooperation Framework Agreement") with Fujian Rovos for establishment of POS in Thailand, with a term commencing from the [REDACTED] to 31 December 2027. Pursuant to the Cooperation Framework Agreement, Fujian Rovos and its associate(s) (i) will purchase mechanical massage equipment from us in instalments; (ii) is authorised to operate independently at POS sites approved by us using our IP and massage equipment upon our approval, while we provide a comprehensive mechanical massage service solution, without charging any extra service fee; and (iii) will purchase spare parts for decoration of POS site in Thailand. Separate purchase agreement(s) or purchase order(s) will be entered to set out specific terms and conditions in respect of the supply of mechanical massage equipment. See "Recent Development" in the "Summary" section for details.

Pricing policy

The price for the provision of mechanical massage equipment and related services under the Cooperation Framework Agreement is determined based on arm's length negotiation with reference to the cost of the mechanical massage equipment and the average service fee we charged for our comprehensive mechanical massage service solution has been considered in the price of the mechanical massage equipment, but in any event such price shall not be lower than the prices of similar products and services provided by us to independent third parties.

The price for the spare parts for decoration of POS site in Thailand will be determined with reference to such spare parts provided by us to other independent third parties, but in any event shall not be lower than the prices provided by us to independent third parties.

CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

Historical figures and annual caps

There was no transaction amount for the three years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025. The estimated annual cap under the Cooperation Framework Agreement for the three years ending 31 December 2027 is RMB13.0 million, RMB17.0 million and RMB9.0 million, respectively.

Basis of annual cap

The above estimated annual cap was determined based on the following factors and assumptions:

(i) the unit price of USD1,026 for the mechanical massage equipment as agreed with the Fujian Rovos and its associate in the specific purchase agreement and/or purchase order;

(ii) the number of mechanical massage equipment purchased by Fujian Rovos and its associate since May 2025 when we first started to provide mechanical massage equipment to Fujian Rovos and its associate and up to the Latest Practicable Date (i.e. more than 700 pieces);

(iii) the expected market size and anticipated increased demands for our mechanical massage equipment in Thailand; and

(iv) the average unit price of spare parts we provided to independent third parties and the expected number of spare parts to be provided in accordance with the expected number of mechanical massage equipment to be provided.

Reasons for the transactions

We entered into the Cooperation Framework Agreement with Fujian Rovos as a preliminary trial of our business strategy to expand into overseas market. As Fujian Rovos has invested in a Thailand company and started its business of the sales of massage equipment in Thailand, our Directors believe that it is familiar with the relevant local laws and regulations of the massage equipment industry and have more access to local resources such as site resources. In addition, we have successful experience in cooperation with Local Partners in domestic market and those experience and mode can also be utilized to the overseas market. Based on the above and after considering Fujian Rovos has a sound track record of providing other services to us and is familiar with our mechanical massage equipment, we choose Fujian Rovos and its associate as our cooperation partner in Thailand.

Implications under the Listing Rules

As the highest applicable percentage ratio under the Listing Rules (other than the profits ratio) in respect of the annual caps in relation to the Cooperation Framework Agreement is expected to be more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the transactions contemplated under the Cooperation Framework Agreement are subject to the reporting, annual review and announcement requirements but exempt from the circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

WAIVERS

In respect of the transactions contemplated under the Manufacturing Framework Agreement, as at least one of the applicable percentage ratios under the Listing Rules (other than the profits ratio) in respect of the annual caps is expected to be more than 5%, the transactions contemplated thereunder are subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement, circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

In respect of the transactions as contemplated under the Cooperation Framework Agreement as described above, as the highest applicable percentage ratio under the Listing Rules (other than the profits ratio) in respect of the annual caps in relation to the Cooperation Framework Agreement is expected to be more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the transactions contemplated under the Cooperation Framework Agreement are subject to the reporting, annual review and announcement requirements but exempt from the circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

We expect these non-exempt and partially exempt continuing connected transactions to be carried out on a continuing basis and will extend over a period of time, and our Directors consider that strict compliance with the applicable requirement under the Listing Rules would be impractical, unduly burdensome and impose unnecessary administrative costs on our Company.

Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 14A.105 of the Listing Rules, we have applied for, and the Stock Exchange [has granted] us, a waiver from strict compliance with the announcement requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules in respect of the abovementioned partially exempt continuing connected transactions, and the circular and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules in respect of the abovementioned non-exempt continuing connected transactions. For details, see the paragraph headed "Waivers from Strict Compliance with the Listing Rules — Continuing Connected Transactions" in this document.

Save for the announcement, circular and/or Shareholders' approval requirements for which waivers have been applied, we will comply with the relevant requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

FULLY EXEMPT CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION

R&D Agreement(s) with Fujian Rovos

Principal terms

Our Company has entered into and will continue to enter into research and development agreement(s) (“R&D Agreement(s)”) with Fujian Rovos, pursuant to which Fujian Rovos would provide support on the R&D of certain application design for improving the usability of our smart massage equipment. The R&D Agreement(s) will be renewable in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.

Pricing policy

The price for the services contemplated under the R&D Agreement(s) is determined based on arm’s length negotiation with reference to: (i) the complexity level of the technique; (ii) the expected cost (including material and personnel cost) to be incurred; (iii) the price of similar service offered by independent third parties, but in any event shall not exceed the prices provided to us by independent third parties.

Reasons for the transactions

We have our own R&D department mainly focused on the development of IoT technology and improvement of massage service experience. For product development, the Company entrusted the development of hardware functions of some equipment to external service providers on the basis of setting up the overall development design. From time to time, we need to develop certain application design and to apply such R&D results to improve the usability of our smart massage equipment. It is more cost efficient for us to outsource the R&D of such application design to massage equipment manufacturers as such technology is closely linked to the massage equipment manufacturing process and the experiments need to be conducted on in-progress massage equipment, and the massage equipment manufacturers can ride on their existing R&D knowhow on massage equipment functions development, instead of us starting from the basic research on the hardware structure of such chairs.

Fujian Rovos is a professional massage equipment manufacturer which has been established since 2007 and focuses on R&D of massage equipment since its establishment. It has a proven track record and mature procedure for providing massage equipment R&D services for its customers. When selecting Fujian Rovos as our R&D service provider, we have considered its past experience and relevant intellectual property rights in similar R&D projects as well as its creditability, our past cooperation record and our mutual trust as confidentiality are usually of great importance on such R&D activities.

To accomplish this, our Company intends to comply with Corporate Governance Code set out in Appendix C1 to the Listing Rules and the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers set out in Appendix C3 to the Listing Rules after the [REDACTED].

BOARD DIVERSITY POLICY

We are committed to promoting the culture of diversity in our Company. We have strived to promote diversity to the extent practicable by taking into consideration a number of factors in our corporate governance structure.

We have adopted a board diversity policy (the "Board Diversity Policy") to enhance the effectiveness of our Board and to maintain a high standard of corporate governance. Pursuant to the Board Diversity Policy, in reviewing and assessing suitable candidates to serve as a Director of our Company, the nomination committee will consider a range of diversity perspectives with reference to our Company's business model and specific needs, including but not limited to gender, age, language, cultural and educational background, professional qualifications, skills, knowledge, industry and regional experience and/or length of service. Our Directors have a balanced mix of knowledge and skills, including three executive Directors, two non-executive Directors and three independent non-executive Directors, with different industry backgrounds. Taking into account our existing business model and specific needs as well as the different background of our Directors, the composition of our Board satisfies our board diversity policy.

Upon [REDACTED], our Board comprises seven male members and one female member. We will continue to take steps to promote gender diversity at all levels of our Company, including but not limited to our Board and the senior management levels. We will encourage our incumbent Board members to recommend female candidate directors and take other actions to help achieve greater board diversity, for example inviting some of our outstanding female staff at mid to senior level to attend and observe Board meeting. This will allow our Board to understand more about these potential female candidates before they are nominated to our Board and provide opportunities for potential female candidates to prepare themselves for director duties. Going forward, we will at least have one female Director and will ensure that our female management members will get equal opportunities to develop and perform so as to

eventually be equipped to step up as a member of our Board. We will also continue to ensure that there is gender diversity when recruiting staff at mid to senior level so that we will have a pipeline of female senior management and potential successors to our Board in due time to ensure gender diversity of our Board. Our Group will continue to emphasize training of female talent and providing long-term development opportunities for our female staff including but not limited to business operation, management, accounting and finance, legal and compliance. As such, we are of the view that our Board will be offered chances to identify competent female staff at mid to senior level to be nominated as a Director in future with a pipeline of female candidates.

We are committed to adopting a similar approach to promote diversity within management (including but not limited to the senior management) of our Company to enhance the effectiveness of corporate governance of our Company as a whole.

Our Nomination Committee is responsible for ensuring the diversity of our Board members. After the [REDACTED], our Nomination Committee will review the board diversity policy from time to time, develop and review measurable objectives for implementing the policy, and monitor the progress on achieving these measurable objectives to ensure its continued effectiveness. We will disclose in our corporate governance report about the implementation of the board diversity policy on an annual basis.

OVERVIEW

According to Frost & Sullivan, we ranked first among all mechanical massage service providers in the PRC in terms of transaction value for three consecutive years from 2022 to 2024, representing a market share of 33.9%, 37.3% and 42.9% in the corresponding year, respectively. We launched our Lemobar (樂摩吧) brand in 2016, dedicated to provide consumers with mechanical massage services in various consumption scenarios, including commercial complexes, cinemas and traffic hubs (including airports and high-speed rail stations). As at the Latest Practicable Date, we had established a network of more than 48,000 POS for our mechanical massage service, placing more than 535,000 mechanical massage equipment across 31 provincial-level administrative divisions and 339 cities in China. We expanded our POS network from 21,727 POS as at 31 December 2022 to 45,993 POS as at 31 December 2024, representing a CAGR of approximately 45.49%. We have a solid market presence in terms of consumer reach, with a cumulative total of over 165 million identifiable service consumers and more than 32 million registered members as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Our operation modes are mainly categorized into Direct Mode and Partner Mode. Direct Mode is the primary operation mode for our mechanical massage service, with approximately 71% of our POS operating under the Direct Mode as at the Latest Practicable Date. Under the Direct Mode, our in-house operating team manages all process involved in POS operation. We also operate through the Partner Mode, whereby we collaborate with Local Partners who leverage their local resources and connection. Under the Partner Mode, our Local Partners are responsible for POS operation, while we provide a comprehensive mechanical massage service solution. As at the Latest Practicable Date, approximately 29% of our POS were operated under the Partner Mode. Through clear division of responsibilities, collaboration and empowerment, our Local Partners are closely aligned with our business objectives, creating mutually beneficial growth opportunities. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have established stable partnerships with approximately 95% of our Local Partners for more than five years. We believe that our systematic dual-line model of "Direct operation + Local Partner affiliation" is our key differentiation from our competitors, which allows us to efficiently expand our nationwide business coverage while continuously optimizing and improving operational efficiency. For a summary of material aspects of the Direct Mode and Partner Mode, see "Business — Our Business Segments — Mechanical Massage Service — Direct Mode and Partner Mode".

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The historical financial information, being the consolidated statements of financial position of our Group and the statements of financial position of our Company as at 31 December 2022, 2023, 2024 and 31 March 2025 and the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statements for each of the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023, 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025, and material accounting policy information and other explanatory information, has been prepared in accordance with all applicable IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

The IASB has issued a number of new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards. For the purpose of preparing the historical financial information, the Group has adopted all applicable new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards throughout the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023, 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025, except for any new standards or interpretations that are not yet effective for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2025. The revised and new accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the accounting year beginning on or after 1 January 2025 are set out in Note 33 to the Accountants' Report as set out in Appendix I.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in preparing the financial information for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025.

KEY FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our results of operations have been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, including but not limited to, those set out below:

Our Ability to Expand Our POS Network

Our revenue largely depends on the number and geographical coverage of our POS and thus our future financial performance is also reliant on our future ability to maintain and expand our POS network. During the Track Record Period, we have been expanding our POS network continuously to cover all 31 provincial-level administrative divisions and 339 cities in the PRC with over 48,000 POS as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Our POS network covers various consumption scenarios. Our POS are substantially located at consumption scenarios with high consumer traffic including commercial complexes, cinemas and traffic hubs such as airports and high-speed rail stations. We will continue to establish POS at the existing consumption scenarios, including the commercial complexes, cinemas and airports, as we note that there is still room for expansion of POS coverage, taking in account (i) the expected openings of new commercial complexes and cinemas; (ii) and the expected allocation of more space for mechanical massage services at the existing commercial complexes, cinemas and airports. In addition, we intend to develop the opportunities for establishing new POS in more consumption scenarios such as transportation service and rest areas, e-sports space and office buildings, etc. to further diversify our presence in the market.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

During the Track Record Period, our POS were mainly located in relatively developed regions in mainland China, including the tier one cities, the new tier one cities and tier two cities. In the future, we plan to continuously deepen our market penetration in such geographical locations where we have established solid presence. We also intend to establish more POS in cities other than tier one cities, the new tier one cities and tier two cities, where mechanical massage service space remains less common, for bigger room for expansion in the upcoming years.

Going forward, we will continue to expand our POS network at more geographical locations and consumption scenarios with higher density, so as to maintain our business operation and financial performance.

Seasonality

Our business performance can be affected by seasonality. According to F&S report, the third quarter is a typical peak season for the mechanical massage services market, as various consumption scenarios such as commercial complexes and airports experience increased foot traffic due to the summer vacation. Conversely, the fourth quarter represents a typical off-peak season for the mechanical massage services market, as the heavy clothing worn in winter affects the massage experience, and some consumers would find it inconvenient to remove coats in public, which would lead to a decrease in demand for mechanical massage services. See "Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Our results of operation depend on the level of foot traffic and consumption and are thus subject to seasonal fluctuations."

Our Ability to Manage Operating Expenses and Improve Operational Efficiency

Taking into account our POS network and business scale, our ability to manage and control our operating expenses is critical to the success of our business. The major expenses involved in our operations include POS and related expenses, depreciation and amortisation of massage equipment, selling and distribution expenses, administrative expenses, research and development expenses and others.

We have developed and introduced LMB Links, a comprehensive digital platform that supply all aspects of our operations, including POS site selection, design and decoration of POS, operation and maintenance of the POS, marketing and promotion, price and payment management, supply chain management, middle-office operations and back-office data processing. Each mechanical massage equipment operating under both Direct Mode and Partner Mode is equipped with communication technology, connecting to our LMB Links through cloud technology provided by third-party cloud service providers. This enables us to monitor the operational status in real time and perform remote operation and maintenance of the equipment. At the same time, LMB Links also collects and analyzes operational information transmitted from the massage equipment, providing data support to enhance our service levels, optimize operational strategies, and set operational goals.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Going forward, as we expect to continue to expand our POS network and business scale, our profitability will depend on our ability to effectively control our operating expenses.

Our Ability to Efficiently Manage Our Supply Chain of POS Sites and Massage Equipment

We rely on our external suppliers to provide a stable supply of POS sites, massage equipment, spare parts and other essential components for our business operations, so our ability to manage and control costs of sales and maintain mutually beneficial relationships with our suppliers are critical to our success. We mainly source from suppliers (i) sites for operation of our POS; (ii) mechanical massage equipment; (iii) spare parts for production, maintenance and refurbishment of mechanical massage equipment; (iv) raw materials such as leather, IC chips and IoT communication modules; and (v) decoration materials for use at our POS. Our ability to offer a wide network of POS for mechanical massage service, with massage equipment that match the consumers' needs depends on our ability to develop mutually beneficial relationships with our suppliers. For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025 our total purchases was RMB204.92 million, RMB422.26 million, RMB562.17 million and RMB129.19 million respectively.

We strategically cultivate and maintain relationships with the Site Managers of different consumption scenarios, such as commercial complexes, cinemas and transportation hubs, who are integral to our extensive POS network. We believe that by providing quality mechanical massage services that match with the corresponding consumption scenarios, we target to achieve win-win situations with the Site Managers to further increase foot traffic of the sites. We seek to select our suppliers under a stringent approach to ensure a stable supply of massage equipment, related devices and related raw materials of good quality at reasonable cost. See "Business — Suppliers and Procurement" for details.

Looking forward, we will continue to implement our centralised procurement system, maintain good relationships with our suppliers, and continuously optimize the management of our supply chain in order to control our costs more effectively.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

We have identified certain accounting policies and estimates that are material to the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Some of our accounting policies involve subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments that affected the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, as well as their accompanying disclosures and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could, in the future, result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities affected. When reviewing our financial statements, the following factors should be considered: (i) our selection of critical accounting policies, (ii) the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies, and (iii) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our material accounting policy information, estimates, assumptions and judgment made by our management which have material effect on our financial condition and results of operations are set forth in Note 2 and Note 3 to the Accountants' Report as set out in Appendix I. Estimates, assumptions and judgments are continually re-evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We set forth below the accounting policies, estimates and judgments that we believe are critical to the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue and other income

Income is classified by our Group as revenue when it arises from the sale of goods or the provision of services in the ordinary course of our Group's business.

Further details of our Group's revenue and other income recognition policies are as follows:

(i) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised when control over a product or service is transferred to the customer at the amount of promised consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled, excluding those amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as value added tax or other sales taxes.

(a) Revenue from mechanical massage service

The Group generates revenue from the provision of mechanical massage services to customers under the Direct Mode and mechanical massage POS operation support services to Local Partners under the Partner Mode.

- Direct Mode

The Group operates a network of mechanical massage equipment which are located at the Group's POS for providing mechanical massage services to customers under the Direct Mode. Revenue is recognised when the mechanical massage services are rendered to customers at the POS. The payment for service is usually collected from the customer in advance, either immediately before the customer requests the service or when the customer purchases a prepaid massage service package from the Group.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

  • Partner Mode

The Group supports the Local Partners to operate the mechanical massage POS that are managed by the Local Partners under the Partner Mode. The operating support integrates the continuous access to the Group's mechanical massage equipment, IT technology and business management platform as an integral service during the partner contract period, and it is provided in exchange for a share of the gross transaction value (the "GTV") received by the Local Partners from the relevant POS (subject to a contractual minimum and capped amount where applicable). Revenue amounting to the GTV sharing that is entitled to the Group is recognised when the mechanical massage POS operation support services are rendered to the Local Partners.

The Group has set up its own mini-program and the customers can make advance payments to the Group via the mini-program. The Group mainly receives advance payments from customers in the form of deposits paid by customers to their accounts (which are refundable before they are consumed) and prepaid massage service packages sold to customers (which are non-refundable and entitle customers to have specified quantities of access to mechanical massage services within a fixed period of validity). These amounts can be consumed by customers to pay for the mechanical massage services at the POS they choose to visit, which may be operated by the Group under the Direct Mode or the Group's Local Partners under the Partner Mode.

In cases where the advance payments from customers are consumed at the Local Partners' POS, the Group recognises the portion of its GTV sharing relating to the mechanical massage POS operation support service as revenue according to the policy described under the Partner Mode. The remaining amounts are paid to the relevant Local Partners.

For the non-refundable prepaid massage service packages, the Group does not expect to be entitled to a breakage amount of the customers' unexercised rights. The unused balances are recognised as revenue upon expiry of the validity period.

(b) Revenue from sales of household massage equipment and massage accessories

The Group sells household massage equipment and massage accessories to retail customers through self-operated online stores. Payment is collected by online e-commerce platform when customers place purchase orders and sales revenue is recognised when customers accept the products upon delivery.

The Group typically offers retail customers a right of return for a period of 7 days upon customer acceptance, which gives rise to variable consideration. The Group estimates and updates the variable consideration (subject to a constraint) and the related right to recover returned goods with all reasonably available information at each reporting date.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(c) Revenue from digital advertising service

Revenue from digital advertising service mainly represents revenue generated from advertisement service in the form of pop-up banners in the Group's mini program and Wechat official accounts. The advertisement contracts are signed between the Group and the advertising agencies to establish the service to be provided by the Group and relevant performance measures, mainly including cost per click (based on the number of clicks of the advertisement and a fixed unit price for each web article). Revenue from digital advertising service is recognised when the services are provided.

(d) Other practical expedients applied

In addition, the Group has applied the following practical expedients: For sales contracts that had an original expected duration of one year or less, the Group has not disclosed the information related to the aggregated amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations in accordance with paragraph 121(a) of IFRS 15.

(ii) Revenue from other sources and other income

(a) Interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. The "effective interest rate" is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. In calculating interest income, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired). However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.

(b) Government grants

Government grants are recognised in the statement of financial position initially when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them.

Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as income in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred.

Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and consequently are effectively recognised in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset by way of reduced depreciation expense.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Intangible assets

Research and development costs comprise all costs that are directly attributable to research and development activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities. Because of the nature of the Group's research and development activities, the criteria for the recognition of such costs as an asset are generally not met until late in the development stage of the project when the remaining development costs are immaterial. Hence both research costs and development costs are generally recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses (see note 2(h)(ii) to the Accountants' Report as set out in Appendix I).

Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, if any, and is generally recognised in profit or loss.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Intangible assets Estimated Useful Live
Software 2-5 years

The useful life of software was assessed based on the expected service life during which relevant software performs its desired functionality.

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.

Leases

Leased assets

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. This is the case if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the use of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from that use.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(i) As a lessee

Where the contract contains lease component(s) and non-lease component(s), the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and accounts for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases.

At the lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, except for leases that have a short lease term of 12 months or less, and leases of low-value items. When the Group enters into a lease in respect of a low-value item, the Group decides whether to capitalise the lease on a lease-by-lease basis. If not capitalised, the associated lease payments are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the lease term.

Where the lease is capitalised, the lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, using a relevant incremental borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost and interest expense is recognised using the effective interest method. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability, and are charged to profit or loss as incurred.

The right-of-use asset recognised when a lease is capitalised is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Refundable rental deposits are accounted for separately from the right-of-use assets in accordance with the accounting policies applicable to investments in non-equity securities carried at amortised cost. Any excess of the nominal value over the initial fair value of the deposits is accounted for as additional lease payments made and is included in the cost of right-of-use assets.

The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The lease liability is also remeasured when there is a lease modification, which means a change in the scope of a lease or the consideration for a lease that is not originally provided for in the lease contract, if such modification is not accounted for as a separate lease. In this case, the lease liability is remeasured based on the revised lease payments and lease term using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification. The only exceptions are rent concessions that occurred as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and met the conditions set out in paragraph 46B of IFRS 16 Leases. In such cases, the Group has taken advantage of the practical expedient not to assess whether the rent concessions are lease modifications, and recognised the change in consideration as negative variable lease payments in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the rent concessions occurred.

In the consolidated statement of financial position, the current portion of long-term lease liabilities is determined as the present value of contractual payments that are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses:

  • right-of-use assets arising from leases over leasehold properties where the Group is not the registered owner of the property interest; and
  • items of plant and equipment, including right-of-use assets arising from leases of underlying plant and equipment.

The cost of self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing costs.

Items may be produced while bringing an item of property, plant and equipment to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The proceeds from selling any such items and the related costs are recognised in profit or loss.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values, if any, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

  • Properties leased for own use 2 – 5 years
  • Massage equipment 2 – 3 years
  • Office and other equipment 2 – 5 years
  • Motor vehicles 5 years
  • Leasehold improvement. The shorter of the lease terms or the estimated useful life of the assets

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.

Other investments in securities

The Group’s policies for investment in securities, other than investments in subsidiaries, are set out below.

Investments in securities are recognised/derecognised on the date the Group commits to purchase/sell the investment. The investments are initially stated at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs, except for those investments measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVPL”) for which transaction costs are recognised directly in profit or loss. For an explanation of how the Group determines fair value of financial instruments, see note 29(d) to the Accountants’ Report as set out in Appendix I. These investments are subsequently accounted for as follows, depending on their classification.

(i) Non-equity investments

Non-equity investments are classified into one of the following measurement categories:

  • Amortised cost, if the investment is held for the collection of contractual cash flows which represent solely payments of principal and interest. Expected credit losses, interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

  • Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) — recycling, if the contractual cash flows of the investment comprise solely payments of principal and interest and the investment is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collection of contractual cash flows and sale. Expected credit losses, interest income (calculated using the effective interest method) and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss and computed in the same manner as if the financial asset was measured at amortised cost. The difference between the fair value and the amortised cost is recognised in OCI. When the investment is derecognised, the amount accumulated in OCI is recycled from equity to profit or loss.
  • FVPL if the investment does not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or FVOCI (recycling). Changes in the fair value of the investment (including interest) are recognised in profit or loss.

Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

Critical accounting judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following accounting judgements:

(i) Determining the lease term

As explained in note 2(g) to the Accountants’ Report as set out in Appendix I, the lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term. In determining the lease term at the commencement date for leases that include renewal options exercisable by the Group, the Group evaluates the likelihood of exercising the renewal options taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Group to exercise the option, including favourable terms, leasehold improvements undertaken and the importance of that underlying asset to the Group’s operation. The lease term is reassessed when there is a significant event or significant change in circumstance that is within the Group’s control. Any increase or decrease in the lease term would affect the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised in future years.

(ii) Value added tax (the “VAT”) and income tax

The Group generates revenue from the provision of mechanical massage services to customers under the Direct Mode and mechanical massage POS operation support services to Local Partners under the Partner Mode in mainland China during the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025. The Group is subject to VAT and income tax in mainland China. Evaluation of relevant tax positions of the Group involves judgment as to the interpretation and application of the relevant tax laws. The Group has exercised the best judgement of its tax obligations based on current facts and circumstances.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Sources of estimation uncertainty

Notes 26 and 29(d) to the Accountants' Report as set out in Appendix I contain information about the assumptions and their risk factors relating to fair value of share granted and financial instruments. Other significant sources of estimation uncertainty are as follows:

(i) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, after taking into account the estimated residual value. The Group reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation expenses. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Group's historical experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expenses for future periods are adjusted prospectively if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

(ii) Expected credit losses for trade and other receivables

The credit losses for trade and other receivables are based on assumptions about the expected loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, which are based on the Group's past collection history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. For details of the key assumptions and inputs used, see note 29(a) to the Accountants' Report as set out in Appendix I. Changes in these assumptions and estimates could materially affect the result of the assessment and the Group may be necessary to make additional loss allowances in future periods.

(iii) Net realisable value of inventories

Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of businesses, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. These estimates are based on the current market conditions and the historical experience of selling products with similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of changes in customer preferences and competitor actions in response to severe industry cycles. Management reassesses these estimates at the end of each reporting period.

IMPACT OF COVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its resurgence in 2022 affected various regions in the PRC and around the globe. The PRC government had imposed various measures in order to combat the spread of COVID-19, including temporary closure of workplaces and commercial centers and the imposition of travel and mobility restrictions. As a result, our POS operations and financial condition were negatively affected in 2022. According to F&S Report, the market size of mechanical massage services market in term of transaction value dropped from RMB2,076.6 million in 2021 to RMB1,640.4 million in 2022. As a result of temporary closure of our various POS and suspension in our POS expansion efforts due to the travel and mobility restrictions, we recorded significantly lower gross profit, net profit and adjusted net profit (Non-IFRS measure) in 2022, which was in line with the industry trend under the impact of COVID-19. In particular, our gross profit and net profit dropped by over 30% and 70%, respectively, as compared to those in 2021. In view of the revival of consumption activities commencing from 2023 subsequent to the COVID-19 resurgence, we have been continuously expanding our POS network in respect of our mechanical massage services under both Direct Mode and Partner Mode. Due to the revival of market conditions and expansion in business scale, we were able to record increase in the revenue generated from mechanical massage services during the Track Record Period.

Non-IFRS Measures

When evaluating our business, we use non-IFRS measures, namely, adjusted net profit (Non-IFRS measures), as additional financial measures, which are not required by, or presented in accordance with IFRS. We believe that such non-IFRS measures facilitate comparisons of operating performance from period to period and company to company by eliminating potential impacts of certain items. We believe that such measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our consolidated results of operations in the same manner as they help our management. However, our presentation of adjusted net profit (Non-IFRS measures) may not be comparable to similarly titled financial measures presented by other companies. The use of such non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation from, or as substitute for analysis of, our results of operations or financial condition as reported under IFRS.

Revenue from mechanical massage services

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, revenue generated from mechanical massage services amounted to RMB316.13 million, RMB567.71 million, RMB782.93 million, RMB183.59 million and RMB217.77 million, respectively, representing 95.75%, 96.74%, 98.11%, 98.30% and 98.51% of our total revenue in the same periods, respectively.

Revenue growth during the Track Record Period

Provision of mechanical massage services has been the main focus of our business operation. According to F&S Report, the market size of mechanical massage services market in term of transaction value dropped to RMB1,640.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 and rose back by 48.90% to RMB2,442.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2023, following the ease of COVID-19 pandemic. China's mechanical massage service market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.9% from RMB3,101.9 million in 2025 to RMB5,606.3 million in 2029. In line with the aforesaid market trend, the financial performance of our mechanical massage services also improved significantly for the year ended 31 December 2023 as compared to that for the year ended 31 December 2022. In view of the revival of consumption activities commencing from 2023 subsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been continuously expanding our POS network in respect of our mechanical massage services under both Direct Mode and Partner Mode. Due to the revival of market conditions and expansion in business scale, we were able to record increase in the revenue generated from mechanical massage services during the Track Record Period.

We consider our self-developed LMB Links helps build a robust foundation for our growth in the operation of mechanical massage services. By collecting and analyzing comprehensive order information and consumer feedback through the LMB Links system, we can understand user needs and capture emerging market trends, allowing us to optimize the strategic placement of expansion of our POS network. We can also easily enhance our operational efficiency through various functions of LMB Links such as real-time monitoring and automatic notification at the time of abnormality, which in turn improve our service quality and user experience and helps boost our consumer retention. During the Track Record Period, we recorded a steady increase in operating data such as number of POS, number of transactions and average massage fee per consumption order, which was consistent with industry range according to F&S, and indicating improved customer stickiness for our mechanical massage service. The details of such key operating data are set forth below:

(i) growth of our accessible consumer base as a result of additional POS and massage equipment supported by our continuous expansion of POS, demonstrated by the growth in the number of (a) POS from 21,727 as at 31 December 2022, to 32,141 as at 31 December 2023 and further to 45,993 as at 31 December 2024 with a period-to-period growth at 47.93%, and 43.10%, respectively; and (b) massage equipment from 167,066 as at 31 December 2022 to 257,815 as at 31 December 2023, and further to 490,564 as at 31 December 2024 with a period-to-period growth at 54.32% and 90.28%, respectively;

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(ii) growth in the number of transactions from 41.30 million for the year ended 31 December 2022, 61.27 million for the year ended 31 December 2023, and further to 77.61 million for the year ended 31 December 2024, taking into account the steady increase in both number of new consumers and repeat consumers;

(iii) growth in the average massage fee per consumption order as more consumers ordered mechanical massage services of higher caliber and/or longer duration as a result of the increased stickiness of our consumers and their greater habituation to using mechanical massage services, while the pricing of our mechanical massage services remained relatively stable during the Track Record Period; and/or

(iv) recording repurchase rate of approximately 40% during the Track Record Period as a result of established consumer satisfaction and stickiness.

See the paragraph headed "Business — Our Business Segment — Mechanical massage service" for details of our key operating data. Furthermore, our mechanical massage equipment keep upgrading, our management team become more mature and have deep insights into the whole industry with the information that LMB links provided, so that we can optimize the function of our massage equipment to meet more customers' demands.

The continuous iteration of our mechanical massage equipment has also been a key driver in our business's growth, allowing us to stay ahead of industry advancement. Led by our insightful and experienced management team and by actively seeking customer feedback and investing in research and development of massage equipment in terms of design, customization features, massage technologies etc., we have refined our mechanical massage equipment to meet the evolving needs of our clientele. Our latest models of massage equipment incorporate various features such as head cover, aesthetical exterior design and charging facilities, with the goal of offering a superior user experience. See "Business — Our Business Segments — Mechanical Massage Service — Our Mechanical Massage Equipment" for details. We believe our commitment to innovation not only enhances customer satisfaction but also builds brand loyalty, resulting in repeat purchases and positive word-of-mouth referrals that further expand our market reach.

Our dual "Online + Offline" marketing strategy has proven to be an approach in driving our business forward. By leveraging social media platforms to engage with potential consumers through various means including "Local Life" (本地生活) platform and our IP "lele Cat", we aim to effectively reach a wider audience and create awareness around our mechanical massage service. Simultaneously, our offline efforts, such as decorations of our POS combining the characteristics of different consumption scenarios and local cultural customs, may help create more connections with consumers, fostering trust and credibility. This integrated approach not only enhances brand visibility but also maximizes consumer engagement, leading to increased sales and a competitive edge.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The established brand effect and business scale of our Group also enables us to collaborate more effectively with chained commercial complexes and cinemas. These strategic collaborations allow us to expand our POS at more high-traffic locations, further enhancing our visibility and appeal to a broader audience. On the other hand, it was noted that other industry players have focused on single-scenario deployment such as the transportation hubs only, which may hinder their expansion. We believe this has also facilitated an effective growth in the number of our POS during the Track Record Period.

According to F&S, the mechanical massage market is highly concentrated and thus the more sizeable players can better enhance their competitive edge. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated industry consolidation. We have been ranked first among all mechanical massage service providers in the PRC in terms of transaction value for three consecutive years from 2022 to 2024. Therefore, we consider our size advantage not only provide a competitive edge but has also helped facilitate the increase in our market share among mechanical massage providers.

Our Directors consider that based on the aforesaid, we were able to expand and grow more rapidly than most industry peers and thus recorded increase in revenue that outperformed the market growth in the corresponding years.

Operation Mode

We operate our POS under Direct Mode and Partner Mode. Under the Direct Mode, we are responsible for the POS operation which includes POS site selection, occupancy negotiation, POS site decoration and operation and maintenance of the POS. Under the Partner Mode, we will first enter into service agreements with the Local Partners and determine the service fee rate. Local Partners manage the POS operation, while we provide a comprehensive mechanical massage service solution. For details, see "Business — Our Business Segments — Mechanical Massage Service — Direct Mode and Partner Mode".

We would recognize our revenue based on all of the transaction value (after deducting VAT tax) generated from our POS under the Direct Mode. As for the Partner Mode, we would recognize our service fee calculated based on a certain proportion of the transaction value generated from the POS under the Partner Mode as our revenue.

Direct Mode

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, revenue generated from our mechanical massage services under the Direct Mode amounted to RMB245.17 million, RMB472.13 million, RMB668.75 million, RMB155.97 million and RMB187.99 million, respectively, representing 74.26%, 80.45%, 83.80%, 83.51% and 85.04% of our total revenue in the same periods, respectively.

THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The increase in the revenue generated from the Direct Mode was more significant, as we have been expanding the POS network under the Direct Mode more proactively in terms of both POS number and geographical coverage. Under the Direct Mode, our POS grew from 9,786 as at 1 January 2022 by approximately 241.59% to 33,428 as at 31 March 2025.

Partner Mode

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, revenue generated from our mechanical massage services under the Partner Mode amounted to RMB70.96 million, RMB95.58 million, RMB114.18 million, RMB27.62 million and RMB29.78 million, respectively, representing 21.49%, 16.29%, 14.31%, 14.79% and 13.47% of our total revenue in the same periods, respectively.

The growth of the POS network under the Partner Mode remained relatively stable during the Track Record Period given the geographical coverage under the Partner Mode was substantially stable through our stable cooperation relationship with the Local Partners developed after years of operation. Under the Partner Mode, our POS grew from 10,188 as at 1 January 2022 by approximately 37.41% to 13,999 as at 31 March 2025.

Revenue from others

During the Track Record Period, in addition to mechanical massage services, we were also engaged in other business in the health industry, such as online sales of household massage equipment and massage accessories, so as to promote and strengthen our brand image in the health industry and thus bring synergies effect to our mechanical massage services.

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, revenue generated from others amounted to RMB14.03 million, RMB19.13 million, RMB15.07 million, RMB3.17 million and RMB3.30 million, respectively, representing 4.25%, 3.26%, 1.89%, 1.70% and 1.49% of our total revenue in the same periods, respectively. The increase from RMB14.03 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 to RMB19.13 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 was mainly due to improvement in the performance of our other business when the consumption activities substantially recovered subsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease from RMB19.13 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to RMB15.07 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 was mainly because we focused on the development and promotion of our mechanical massage services in 2024, and thus the development of other business was slowed down. The revenue from others remained stable at RMB3.17 million for the three months ended 31 March 2024 and RMB3.30 million for the three months ended 31 March 2025.

Our gross profit was RMB85.34 million, RMB245.25 million, RMB287.80 million, RMB68.52 million and RMB77.06 million during the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023, 2024, and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, respectively.

Our gross profit margin was 25.85%, 41.79%, 36.07%, 36.69% and 34.86% for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, respectively.

Gross profit from mechanical massage services

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, gross profit generated from our mechanical massage services amounted to RMB77.97 million, RMB235.45 million, RMB283.08 million, RMB68.00 million and RMB75.59 million, respectively. The increase in gross profit from RMB77.97 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 to RMB235.45 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 was mainly attributable to the increase in our revenue due to expansion of the POS network, especially under Direct Mode and revival of consumption activities in the PRC in general for the year ended 31 December 2023 subsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in gross profit from RMB235.45 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to RMB283.08 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 was mainly attributable to our POS expansion and the growth in terms of number of consumers and transaction orders for our mechanical massage services. The increase in gross profit from RMB68.00 million for the three months ended 31 March 2024 to RMB75.59 million for the three months ended 31 March 2025 was mainly attributable to the increase in the number of our POS sites and massage equipment.

Our gross profit margin generated from our mechanical massage services was 24.66%, 41.47%, 36.16%, 37.04% and 34.71% for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, respectively. The increase in gross profit margin from 24.66% for the year ended 31 December 2022 to 41.47% for the year ended 31 December 2023 was mainly attributable to the underperformance of consumer activities for the year ended 31 December 2022 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during which we still incurred considerable costs such as POS and related expenses, and the recovery of consumer activities in the market in 2023 when more public venues were reopened, which led to an increase in average transaction value per POS.

The decrease in gross profit margin from 41.47% for the year ended 31 December 2023 to 36.16% for the year ended 31 December 2024 was mainly attributable to increase in expenses due to (i) the increasing POS occupancy fees and the cost of new massage equipments incurred for expansion of our business scale and extension of market penetration; (ii) increased expenditure in respect of operating and maintenance personnel, resulting in a slowdown in gross profit growth; and (iii) given the more proactive POS expansion approach adopted under the Direct Mode, the increased proportion of gross profit generated from the Direct Mode which typically recorded a lower gross margin compared to that of the Partner Mode. See “— Description Of Major Components in Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income — Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin — Gross profit from mechanical massage services — Direct Mode” for details.

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, gross profit generated from our mechanical massage services under the Direct Mode amounted to RMB30.32 million, RMB162.72 million, RMB199.73 million, RMB47.38 million and RMB54.31 million, respectively. For reasons regarding the increase in gross profit from mechanical massage services under the Direct Mode during the Track Record Period, see “— Description of Major Components in Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income — Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin — Gross profit from mechanical massage services”.

We generally recorded gross profit margin of below 40% for our mechanical massage services under the Direct Mode during the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, as, in addition to depreciation and amortization that we bear under Direct Mode and Partner Mode, we are responsible for the POS and related expenses (including site occupancy fee and maintenance cost for our POS) and employee benefits expenses. Given POS and related expenses have been the most substantial component under our cost of sales, accounting for 64.85%, 67.28%, 69.08%, 71.12% and 66.29% of our cost of sales for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, we recorded a relatively lower gross profit margin compared to the Partner Mode, although we would recognize our revenue based on all of the transaction value (after deducting VAT tax) generated from our POS under the Direct Mode.

Our gross profit margin generated from our mechanical massage services under the Direct Mode was 12.37%, 34.46%, 29.87%, 30.38% and 28.89% for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, respectively. For the reasons regarding fluctuation of gross profit margin from mechanical massage services under the Direct Mode during the Track Record Period, see “— Description of Major Components in Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income — Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin — Gross profit from mechanical massage services”.

Partner Mode

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, gross profit generated from our mechanical massage services under the Partner Mode amounted to RMB47.65 million, RMB72.73 million, RMB83.35 million, RMB20.61 million and RMB21.28 million, respectively.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We generally recorded gross profit margin of 67% or above for our mechanical massage services under the Partner Mode during the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023, 2024, and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025. Under the Partner Mode, our revenue is based on a certain proportion of the transaction value generated by each POS in the form of service fee, without having to incur site occupancy fees and operation and maintenance fees, which constitute the most substantial cost component of operating POS. As a result, our gross profit margin under the Partner Mode is more stable and higher compared to that of the Direct Mode.

Our gross profit margin generated from our mechanical massage services under the Partner Mode was 67.15%, 76.10%, 73.00%, 74.62% and 71.46% for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, respectively. For the reasons of fluctuation of our gross profit margin from our mechanical massage services under the Partner Mode during the Track Record Period, see “— Description of Major Components in Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income — Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin — Gross profit from mechanical massage services”. In particular, our gross profit margin generated from mechanical massage services under the Partner Mode decreased from (i) 76.10% for the year ended 31 December 2023 to 73.00% for the year ended 31 December 2024; and (ii) from 74.62% for the three months ended 31 March 2024 to 71.46% for the three months ended 31 March 2025, mainly attributable to the increase in depreciation and amortisation of the massage equipment as a result of our POS expansion under the Partner Mode.

Gross profit from others

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, gross profit generated from others amounted to RMB7.37 million, RMB9.80 million, RMB4.72 million, RMB0.53 million and RMB1.47 million, respectively. The increase in gross profit from RMB7.37 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 to RMB9.80 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 was mainly attributable to the increase in our revenue in other business due to revival of consumption activities in the PRC in general in 2023 subsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in gross profit from RMB9.80 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to RMB4.72 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 was mainly attributable to our focus on development of mechanical massage services in 2024 which led to slow down in our development in other business. The increase in gross profit from RMB0.53 million for the three months ended 31 March 2024 to RMB1.47 million for the three months ended 31 March 2025 was mainly attributable to the cost control measures imposed on our other business in 2025 and increase in revenue recognised from our digital advertising services.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our gross profit margin generated from others was 52.52%, 51.20%, 31.36%, 16.67% and 44.35% for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, respectively. The gross profit margin of other business remained relatively stable from 2022 to 2023 at 52.52% and 51.20%, respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin of other business from 51.20% for the year ended 31 December 2023 to 31.36% for the year ended 31 December 2024 was mainly attributable to the decrease in the scale of our digital advertising services, which can generate higher gross profit margin taking into account of the minimal costs involved, for the year ended 31 December 2024, as we focused on our development in mechanical massage services in the same period. The increase in gross profit margin of other business from 16.67% for the three months ended 31 March 2024 to 44.35% for the three months ended 31 March 2025 was mainly attributable to the cost control measures imposed on our other business in 2025 and the increase in the revenue of our digital advertising services.

Other Net Income/(Loss)

Our other net income/(loss) mainly consists of interest income from various deposits at banks, government grants, net fair value changes on financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, net loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, impairment loss on property, plant and equipment and gains on disposal of investment in a subsidiary. We recorded other net income of RMB0.20 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 while other net loss of RMB14.49 million was recorded in 2023, mainly attributable to increase in impairment loss on equipment due to one-off incident regarding quality upgrade of a new product, which was phased-out for repairment at our processing and repair facility and then re-deployed for use at our POS. We recorded other net loss of RMB14.49 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 while we recorded other net loss of RMB0.52 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 mainly because there was no similar phasing out incident for the year ended 31 December 2024, while other net loss was still incurred due to disposal of old massage equipment for enhancement of the service quality of our mechanical massage services. We recorded other net income of RMB0.30 million for the three months ended 31 March 2024 and RMB0.55 million for the three months ended 31 March 2025 respectively mainly because we received more government grants for the three months ended 31 March 2025 compared to nil for the three months ended 31 March 2024.

The table below sets forth the breakdown of our finance costs during the Track Record Period:

Interest on lease liabilities 507 653 597 180 98
1,329 2,008 3,383 850 605

The increase in finance costs for the three years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 was mainly attributable to the increase in bank loans catered for our business expansion. Our finance costs decreased RMB0.85 million for three months ended 31 March 2024 to RMB0.61 million for three months ended 31 March 2025, mainly attributable to the decrease in our bank loan principals due to repayment schedule as well as the decrease in interest expenses due to the lowered loan prime rate in China.

Changes in the Carrying Amount of the Redemption Liability

Our changes in the carrying amount of the redemption liability mainly consist of the amount of movement in our redemption liability. The redemption liability arose due to certain preferential rights granted to an investor, namely Ma'anshan Cornerstone Yixiang Equity Investment Partnership Enterprise (LLP) ("Cornerstone Yixiang"), who was entitled to require the Company to redeem its equity interest, pursuant to the capital increase agreement entered into between Cornerstone Yixiang and the Company in December 2017. See "—Redemption Liability" and Note 24 to the Accountants' Report in Appendix I to this document for details.

The decrease during the Track Record Period was mainly attributable to settlement of part of the redemption liability in 2023 and the termination of the preferential right by Cornerstone Yixiang in 2024.

Income Tax

Our income tax expenses comprised current tax expense and deferred tax expense. We incurred income tax expenses of RMB3.28 million, RMB15.87 million, RMB16.50 million, RMB4.78 million and RMB4.20 million, for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, respectively.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We had net current liabilities of RMB17.92 million as at 31 December 2022 mainly attributable to the redemption liability incurred from redemption right of an investor, namely Cornerstone Yixiang, who entered into an investment agreement with our Company in December 2017. Pursuant to the aforesaid investment agreement, Cornerstone Yixiang had been entitled to require the Company to fully redeem its shares. See note 24 to the Accountants' Report as set out in the Appendix I to this document for details of redemption liability.

We had net current liabilities of RMB31.84 million as at 31 December 2023 compared to net current liabilities of RMB17.92 million as at 31 December 2022. The increase in net current liabilities position was mainly attributable to the increase in trade and other payables due to declaration of dividends of RMB23.75 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 (see note 28(b) to the Accountants' Report as set out in the Appendix I to this document for details) and increased acquisition of massage equipment and site occupancy fee for our business expansion, increase in bank loans due to increased acquisition of massage equipment and site occupancy fee for our business expansion, while the aforesaid redemption liability was partially settled in 2023.

We recorded net current liabilities of RMB15.61 million as at 31 December 2024, of which RMB10.17 million mainly due to the negotiable certificate of deposits with a term of two years in which we subscribed for better use of idle fund. As compared to the net current liabilities of RMB31.84 million as at 31 December 2023, the decrease in net current liabilities was mainly due to the termination of redemption rights by Cornerstone Yixiang in February 2024, resulting in the derecognition of redemption liability in full.

We recorded net current assets of RMB25.08 million as at 31 March 2025 compared to net current liabilities of RMB15.61 million as at 31 December 2024, mainly attributable to disposal of negotiable certificate of deposit in January 2025.

Our net current assets increased from RMB25.08 million as at 31 March 2025 to RMB35.19 million as at 31 May 2025, mainly attributable to improved cash flow brought by the enhanced business operation in 2025.

To maintain our working capital sufficiency and improve our liquidity position, we will take the following measures: (i) plan and monitor our cash flow situation on a regular basis to ensure the cash flow of our Group remains at a healthy level; (ii) maintain stable relationships with our principal banks so as to timely obtain or renew bank borrowings and negotiate for better terms of loans; (iii) continue our cost control strategy and tighten cost controls over administrative and other expenses aiming at improving working capital and cash flow position of our Group, including closely monitoring the daily operating expenses.

PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Generally, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products are sold, based on historical warranty data and a weighting of possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

Except as disclosed above, we did not have any material mortgages, charges, debentures, loan capital, debt securities, loans, bank overdrafts or other similar indebtedness, finance lease or hire purchase commitments, liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills), acceptance credits, which are either guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured or unsecured, or guarantees or other contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2022, 31 December 2023, 31 December 2024, 31 March 2025 and 31 May 2025.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Net Profit Margin

Our net profit margin significantly increased from 1.96% as at 31 December 2022 to 14.88% as at 31 December 2023 due to the underperformance of consumer activities for the year of 2022 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during which we still incurred considerable costs such as POS and related expenses, and the recovery of consumer activities in the market in 2023 when more public venues were reopened, which led to an increase in average transaction value per POS.

Our net profit margin decreased from 14.88% as at 31 December 2023 to 10.75% as at 31 December 2024 due to the [REDACTED], increasing POS occupancy fees and the cost of new massage equipments incurred for expansion of our business scale and extension of market penetration as well as the increased expenditure in respect of administrative, selling and research personnel, resulting in a slowdown in profit growth.

Our net profit margin decreased from 14.12% as at 31 March 2024 to 10.56% as at 31 March 2025 due to we incurred [REDACTED] of RMB[REDACTED] million for the three months ended 31 March 2025 compared to nil for the three months ended 31 March 2024.

Adjusted Net Profit Margin (Non-IFRS Measures)

Our adjusted net profit margin (non-IFRS measure) increased from 2.58% as at 31 December 2022 to 16.12% as at 31 December 2023, which was in line with that of net profit margin, after elimination of equity-settled share-based payment expenses.

Our adjusted net profit margin (non-IFRS measure) decreased from 16.12% as at 31 December 2023 to 12.79% as at 31 December 2024, which was in line with that of net profit margin, after elimination of equity-settled share-based payment expenses and [REDACTED].

Our adjusted net profit margin (non-IFRS measure) decreased from 14.81% as at 31 March 2024 to 13.49% as at 31 March 2025 which was in line with that of net profit margin, after elimination of equity-settled share-based payment expenses and [REDACTED].

Current Ratio

Our current ratio remained relatively stable at 0.90 as at 31 December 2022 and 0.86 as at 31 December 2023.

Our current ratio increased from 0.86 as at 31 December 2023 to 0.93 as at 31 December 2024 mainly because our redemption liability became nil as Cornerstone Yixiang waived the relevant preferential right in February 2024.

Our current ratio increased from 0.96 as at 31 December 2024 to 1.10 as at 31 March 2025 mainly attributable to the decrease in our bank loan principals and the increase in our prepayments in light of the increase in number of POS.

Quick Ratio

Our quick ratio remained relatively stable at 0.87 as at 31 December 2022 and 0.84 as at 31 December 2023.

Our quick ratio increased from 0.84 as at 31 December 2023 to 0.90 as at 31 December 2024 mainly because our redemption liability became nil as Cornerstone Yixiang waived the relevant preferential right in February 2024.

Our quick ratio increased from 0.92 as at 31 December 2024 and 1.10 as at 31 March 2025 due to the decrease in our bank loan principals and the increase in our prepayments in light of the increase in number of POS sites.

Gearing Ratio

Our gearing ratio decreased from 135.65% as at 31 December 2022 to 58.13% as at 31 December 2023 primarily due to (i) the increase in bank loans; and (ii) decrease in redemption liability.

Our gearing ratio decreased from 58.13% as at 31 December 2023 to 26.61% as at 31 December 2024 primarily due to the (i) decrease in redemption liability; and (ii) decrease in lease liabilities. Our gearing ratio decreased from 26.61% as at 31 December 2024 to 23.19% as at 31 March 2025 primarily due to the decrease in our bank loan principals.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT FINANCIAL RISK

We are exposed to financial risks in the normal course of our business, such as credit risks, liquidity risks and interest rate risks. For more information, see Note 29 to the Accountants' Report set out in Appendix I to this document.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables. The Group's exposure to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks and financial institutions for which the Group considers to represent low credit risk.

The Group does not provide any guarantees which would expose the Group to credit risk.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Trade receivables

The Group has established a credit risk management policy under which individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer's past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. Trade receivables are due within 30 to 90 days from the date of billing. Debtors with balances that are more than 3 months past due are requested to settle all outstanding balances before any further credit is granted. Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from customers.

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk in industries or countries in which the customers operate. Significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Group has significant exposure to individual customers. At 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 March 2025, 4.00%, 4.58%, 4.62% and nil of the total trade receivables was due from the Group's largest customer in each year during the Track Record Period respectively within the segment of mechanical massage POS operation support services under the Partner Mode, and 25.22%, 15.93%, 13.67% and nil of the total trade receivables was due from the Group's five largest customers in each year/period during the Track Record Period respectively.

The Group measures loss allowances for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, which is calculated using a provision matrix. As the Group's historical credit loss experience does not indicate significantly different loss patterns for different type of customer, the loss allowance based on past due status is not distinguished among the Group's different customer types.

The following table provides information about the Group's exposure to credit risk and ECLs for trade receivables:

(b) Liquidity risk

The treasury function of the Group is centrally managed by the Group, which includes the short-term investment of cash surpluses and the raising of funds to cover expected cash demands. The Group's policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

(c) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's interest rate risk arises primarily from cash at banks, negotiable certificate of deposit, bank loans, redemption liability and lease liabilities. Interest-bearing financial instruments at variable rates and at fixed rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk, respectively. The Group's interest rate risk profile as monitored by management is set out in (i) below.

(i) Interest rate risk profile

The following table, as reported to the management of the Group, details the interest rate risk profile of the Group at the end of each reporting period:

34,903 25,194 2,275 (4,232)

(ii) Sensitivity analysis

At 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have increased/decreased the Group's profit after tax and retained profits by approximately RMB302,000, RMB221,000 and RMB20,000 respectively.

At 31 March 2025, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have decreased/increased the Group's profit after tax and retained profits by approximately RMB39,000.

The sensitivity analysis above indicates the instantaneous change in the Group's profit after tax (and retained profits) that would arise assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the end of the reporting period and had been applied to re-measure those financial instruments held by the Group which expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk at the end of the reporting period. In respect of the exposure to cash flow interest rate risk arising from floating rate non-derivative instruments held by the Group at the end of the reporting period, the impact on the Group's profit after tax (and retained profits) is estimated as an annualised impact on interest expense or income of such a change in interest rates. The sensitivity analyses are performed on the same basis during the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025.

DIVIDEND

No dividends have been declared or paid by the Company or the companies comprising the Group to its equity shareholders during the year ended 31 December 2022.

During the year ended 31 December 2023, our Company declared dividends of RMB23,750,000 to its equity shareholders, comprising (i) RMB3.75 million to Zhangchuan Gongying Platform to settle its related party balance with us; and (ii) RMB20.00 million to all shareholders due to the satisfactory financial performance of our Company.

During the year ended 31 December 2024, our Company declared dividends of RMB20,000,000 to its equity shareholders, comprising (i) RMB10.00 million to Mr. Xie for his financial needs; and (ii) RMB10.00 million to all shareholders due to the satisfactory financial performance of our Company.

During the three months ended 31 March 2025, our Company did not declare any dividend.

We do not currently have a fixed dividend policy or fixed dividend pay-out ratio and may declare dividends from time to time as our Board considers appropriate in compliance with our Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations. Distribution of dividends will be formulated by our Board at its discretion and will be subject to shareholders' approval. Under the PRC Company Law and our Articles of Association, all of our Shareholders holding the same class of shares have equal rights to dividends and other distributions proportionate to their shareholding.

A decision to declare or pay any dividends in the future, and the amount of any dividend, will depend on, a number of factors including, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital expenditure requirements, distributable profits as determined under PRC GAAP or IFRS (whichever is lower), our Articles of Association, the PRC Company Law and any other applicable PRC Law and other factors that our Directors may consider relevant.

The minimum allocation to the PRC statutory reserve is 10% of our profit after tax, as determined under PRC GAAP. When the statutory common reserve fund reaches and is maintained at or above 50% of our registered capital, no further allocation to this PRC statutory reserve will be required. Any distributable profits that are not satisfied in any given year will be retained and become available for distribution in subsequent years.

We will, therefore, only be able to declare dividends after we have allocated sufficient net profit to our statutory common reserve fund as described above. Our ability to declare and pay dividends will also depend on the availability of dividends received from group companies in the PRC and other jurisdictions. Distributions from our group companies may be restricted if they incur losses or in accordance with any restrictive covenants in bank borrowing or financing agreements that we or our subsidiaries may enter into in the future.

We estimate that our [REDACTED] will be HK$[REDACTED] million, representing [REDACTED]% of the gross [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] (assuming an [REDACTED] of HK$[REDACTED] per Share (being the mid-point of the indicative [REDACTED] range), which consist of (i) [REDACTED]-related expenses (including but not limited to [REDACTED] and fees) of HK$[REDACTED] million, and (ii) non-[REDACTED]-related expenses of HK$[REDACTED] million, including (a) fees and expenses of legal advisers and accountants of HK$[REDACTED] million, and (b) other fees and expenses of HK$[REDACTED] million. HK$[REDACTED] million of the [REDACTED] is directly attributable to the issue of our H Shares to the [REDACTED] and is expected to be recognized directly as a deduction from equity upon the [REDACTED], HK$[REDACTED] million has been expensed during the Track Record Period and the remaining amount of HK$[REDACTED] million of the [REDACTED] is expected to be expensed prior to the [REDACTED].

FUTURE PLANS AND [REDACTED]

FUTURE PLANS

See “Business — Our Business Strategies” in this document for a detailed description of our future plans.

[REDACTED]

We estimate that we will receive [REDACTED] of approximately HK$[REDACTED] million (equivalent to approximately RMB[REDACTED] million) from the [REDACTED], after deducting the [REDACTED] and other estimated expenses payable by us in connection with the [REDACTED], assuming an [REDACTED] of HK$[REDACTED] per H Share (being the mid-point of the indicative [REDACTED] range) and that the [REDACTED] is not exercised.

Our Directors intend to apply the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] for the following purposes:

  • approximately HK$[REDACTED] million (equivalent to approximately RMB[REDACTED] million), representing approximately [REDACTED]% of the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED], will be allocated to expanding the coverage and penetration of our POS network.

We plan to utilise

(i) approximately HK$[REDACTED] million representing approximately [REDACTED]% of the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] for further increasing our penetration rate in consumption scenarios that we have established a developed presence including the commercial complexes, cinemas and airports;

(ii) approximately HK$[REDACTED] million representing approximately [REDACTED]% of the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] for development of our presence in other consumption scenarios such as transportation service and rest areas, e-sports spaces and office buildings etc. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have established limited number of POSs in such other consumption scenarios for preliminary trial purposes. We will consider the information collected from such pilot POSs, such as business performance and operating data and site occupancy terms, and subsequently commences expansion of our presence in such consumption scenarios based on such information; and

(iii) approximately HK$[REDACTED] million representing approximately [REDACTED]% of the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] for extension of our reach to overseas markets in Asia, especially Thailand and other Southeast Asian cities. According to F&S, the market size of mechanical

FUTURE PLANS AND [REDACTED]

massage service was approximately RMB500 million and the penetration rate in downstream channels was less than 20% in Southeast Asia in 2024. F&S further confirmed that in the future, it is expected that mechanical massage devices will be more widely applied in the Southeast Asian market and the rapid development of infrastructure, such as shopping malls, cinemas, and public transportation, in Southeast Asia will create vast opportunities for the growth of mechanical massage services.

Taking into account that (a) the PRC market is one of the most mature markets for mechanical massage service; and (b) the overseas markets in Asia are still in early stage of development with no sizeable market players at the juncture, we believe we can leverage our previous experience as one of the early market entrants and knowhow for continuous growth in the PRC market under the strong presence of traditional massage services over the years to effectively tackle the competition in the overseas market. We will strive to grasp the market opportunities under the trend of increasing adoption of mechanical massage equipment in Southeast Asia regions and endeavour to capture early market share using first-mover advantage. In particular, the LMB Links developed by us, which can be utilized without geographical boundaries and not be easily replicated due to the substantial research and development effort required, can act as the foundation for management of POS and thus enhance our competitiveness in the overseas market.

In addition to increase in number of mechanical massage equipment, we plan to recruit more employees in different departments to support our corresponding expansion plans. For the details, see "Business — Our Business Strategies — Further Expand Our POS Network".

Set forth below is a breakdown of the expenses and the expected timeframe for expansion of our POS network covered by the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] which are subject to changes based on our actual needs and market conditions at the relevant time:

FUTURE PLANS AND [REDACTED]

We estimate to record an net increase in number of POS at the approximate range of [REDACTED] to [REDACTED] under the Direct Mode in the PRC for the two years ending 31 December 2026, respectively, at a total estimated expenses at the range of RMB[REDACTED] million to RMB[REDACTED] million and an estimated average expenses per additional POS (being initial expenditure for the establishment of POS) of approximately RMB[REDACTED].

Set forth below is a breakdown of the estimated average expenses (being initial expenditure for the establishment of POS) per additional POS:

Estimated expenses RMB
Massage equipment cost [REDACTED]
Staff cost [REDACTED]
Site occupancy cost [REDACTED]
Total [REDACTED]

The above estimates are subject to changes based on our actual needs and market conditions at the relevant time. The expenses for expansion of the POS network are covered partly by utilisation of the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] and partly by internally generated funds and bank borrowings. Although we were able to successfully expand our business organically during the Track Record Period, going forward, we require working capital to maintain our current operation scale, as well as extra funding to finance our business strategies for expansion in view of the increasing market demand for mechanical massage service. As such, our Directors consider that it is in the interest of our Group to expand the POS network partly by utilisation of the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] and partly by internally generated funds and bank borrowings. We believe that it is crucial to maintain a robust liquidity position at all times, to ensure smooth business operations and be able to devote sufficient resources in the implementation of our business plans upon [REDACTED].

  • approximately HK$[REDACTED] million (equivalent to approximately RMB[REDACTED] million), representing approximately [REDACTED]% of the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED], will be allocated for the ongoing enhancement and iteration of our technology.

This includes utilisation of (i) approximately HK$[REDACTED] million representing approximately [REDACTED]% of the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] for advancing research and development of the application of digital mechanical massage technology and systematic solutions by upgrading of our massage equipment and introduction of more customization features; and (ii) approximately HK$[REDACTED] million representing approximately [REDACTED]% of the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] for upgrading the

FUTURE PLANS AND [REDACTED]

software and hardware such as IoT technologies of LMB Links particularly for application in the overseas market. We believe these investments in research and development work will effectively contribute to the growth of our business, and significantly improve service quality and operational efficiency, ultimately fostering greater consumer satisfaction and loyalty. For more details, see “Business — Our Business Strategies — Continue to Iterate and Enhance our Technology, Improve Service Quality and Operational Efficiency”.

  • approximately HK$[REDACTED] million (equivalent to approximately RMB[REDACTED] million), representing approximately [REDACTED]% of the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED], will be allocated to enhancing our brand awareness and exposure.

This includes utilisation of (i) approximately HK$[REDACTED] million representing approximately [REDACTED]% of the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] for strategic placement of targeted marketing on new media platforms to increase brand exposure and recognition; and (ii) approximately HK$[REDACTED] million representing approximately [REDACTED]% of the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED] for upgrade and improvement of the design and image of our POS. Our Directors believe that these targeted marketing efforts will strengthen our presence on new media, enhancing brand visibility and reach. Additionally, the investment in the design and decoration of our POS will elevate our brand image, ensuring a cohesive and appealing presentation to our consumers. For more details, see “Business — Our Business Strategies — Enhance the Awareness and Exposure of our Brand”.

  • approximately HK$[REDACTED] million (equivalent to approximately RMB[REDACTED] million), representing approximately [REDACTED]% of the [REDACTED] from the [REDACTED], will be used as working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The above allocation of the [REDACTED] will be adjusted on a pro rata basis in the event that the [REDACTED] is fixed at a higher or lower level compared to the mid-point of the estimated [REDACTED] range:

If the [REDACTED] is fixed at HK$[REDACTED] per H Share, being the high-end of the [REDACTED] range stated in this document and assuming no exercise of the [REDACTED], the [REDACTED] will be increased by approximately HK$[REDACTED] million. If the [REDACTED] is fixed at HK$[REDACTED] per H Share, being the low-end of the [REDACTED] range stated in this document and assuming no exercise of the [REDACTED], the [REDACTED] will be reduced by approximately HK$[REDACTED] million. If the [REDACTED] is set either above or below the mid-point of the indicative [REDACTED] range, we intend to adjust our allocation of [REDACTED] for the above purposes on a pro rata basis.


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

FUTURE PLANS AND [REDACTED]

The additional [REDACTED] that we would receive if the [REDACTED] is exercised in full would be HK$[REDACTED] million after deducting the [REDACTED] and other estimated expenses payable by us in connection with the [REDACTED] (assuming an [REDACTED] of HK$[REDACTED] per H Share, being the mid-point of the [REDACTED] range stated in this document). Additional [REDACTED] received due to the exercise of any [REDACTED] will be utilised according to the allocation of [REDACTED] for the above purposes on a pro rata basis.

To the extent that the [REDACTED] are not immediately applied to the above purposes and to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, we will only deposit those [REDACTED] into short-term interest-bearing accounts at licensed commercial banks and/or other authorised financial institutions (as defined under the Securities and Futures Ordinance or applicable laws and regulations in other jurisdictions).

We will make an appropriate announcement if there is any change to the above proposed [REDACTED].

LIMITED

Introduction

We report on the historical financial information of 福建樂摩物聯科技股份有限公司 Fujian Lemo IoT Technology Co., Ltd (formerly known as 福建樂摩物聯科技有限公司 Fujian Lemo IoT Technology Co., Ltd*) (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") set out on pages I-4 to I-76, which comprises the consolidated statements of financial position of the Group and the statements of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 March 2025 and the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statements for each of the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 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-4 to I-76 forms an integral part of this report, which has been prepared for inclusion in the document of the Company dated [date] (the "Document") in connection with the initial [REDACTED] of shares of the Company on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

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 and presentation set out in note 1 to the Historical Financial Information, and for such internal control as the directors of the Company determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

Reporting accountants' responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 200 “Accountants’ Reports on Historical Financial Information in Investment Circulars” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). This standard requires that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Financial Information is free from material misstatement.

Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 1 to the Historical Financial Information in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial Information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purpose of the accountants’ report, a true and fair view of the Company’s and the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 March 2025 and of the Group’s financial performance and cash flows for the Track Record Period in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 1 to the Historical Financial Information.

Review of stub period corresponding financial information

We have reviewed the stub period corresponding 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 cash flow statement for the three months ended 31 March 2024 and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Corresponding Financial Information”). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Stub Period Corresponding Financial Information in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 1 to the Historical Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Corresponding Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in


THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED "WARNING" ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

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 enquiries, 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 Corresponding Financial Information, for the purpose of the accountants’ report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 1 to the Historical Financial Information.

Report on matters under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance

Adjustments

In preparing the Historical Financial Information, no adjustments to the Underlying Financial Statements as defined on page I-4 have been made.

Dividends

We refer to note 28(b) to the Historical Financial Information which contains information about the dividends paid by the Company in respect of the Track Record Period.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to 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.

Judgements made by management in the application of IFRS Accounting Standards that have significant effect on the Historical Financial Information and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 3.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

(c) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses (except for foreign currency transaction gains or losses) arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

In the Company's statement of financial position, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 2(h)), unless it is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group classified as held for sale).

(d) Other investments in securities

The Group's policies for investment in securities, other than investments in subsidiaries, are set out below.

Investments in securities are recognised/derecognised on the date the Group commits to purchase/sell the investment. The investments are initially stated at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs, except for those investments measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVPL") for which transaction costs are recognised directly in profit or loss. For an explanation of how the Group determines fair value of financial instruments, see note 29(d). These investments are subsequently accounted for as follows, depending on their classification.

(i) Non-equity investments

Non-equity investments are classified into one of the following measurement categories:

  • amortised cost, if the investment is held for the collection of contractual cash flows which represent solely payments of principal and interest. Expected credit losses, interest income calculated using the effective interest method (see note 2(s)(ii)(a)), foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

  • Fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") — recycling, if the contractual cash flows of the investment comprise solely payments of principal and interest and the investment is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collection of contractual cash flows and sale. Expected credit losses, interest income (calculated using the effective interest method) and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss and computed in the same manner as if the financial asset was measured at amortised cost. The difference between the fair value and the amortised cost is recognised in OCI. When the investment is derecognised, the amount accumulated in OCI is recycled from equity to profit or loss.

  • FVPL if the investment does not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or FVOCI (recycling). Changes in the fair value of the investment (including interest) are recognised in profit or loss.

(e) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses (see note 2(h)(ii)):

  • right-of-use assets arising from leases over leasehold properties where the Group is not the registered owner of the property interest; and
  • items of plant and equipment, including right-of-use assets arising from leases of underlying plant and equipment (see note 2(g)).

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

The cost of self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads and borrowing costs (see note 2(t)).

Items may be produced while bringing an item of property, plant and equipment to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The proceeds from selling any such items and the related costs are recognised in profit or loss.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components).

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values, if any, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

  • Properties leased for own use 2 – 5 years
  • Massage equipment. 2 – 3 years
  • Office and other equipment. 2 – 5 years
  • Motor vehicles. 5 years
  • Leasehold improvement. The shorter of the lease terms or the estimated useful life of the assets

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.

(f) Intangible assets

Research and development costs comprise all costs that are directly attributable to research and development activities or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to such activities. Because of the nature of the Group's research and development activities, the criteria for the recognition of such costs as an asset are generally not met until late in the development stage of the project when the remaining development costs are immaterial. Hence both research costs and development costs are generally recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses (see note 2(h)(ii)).

Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, if any, and is generally recognised in profit or loss.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

  • Software. 2 – 5 years

The useful life of software was assessed based on the expected service life during which relevant software performs its desired functionality.

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

(g) Leased assets

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. This is the case if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the use of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from that use.

(i) As a lessee

Where the contract contains lease component(s) and non-lease component(s), the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and accounts for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases.

At the lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, except for leases that have a short lease term of 12 months or less, and leases of low-value items. When the Group enters into a lease in respect of a low-value item, the Group decides whether to capitalise the lease on a lease-by-lease basis. If not capitalised, the associated lease payments are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the lease term.

Where the lease is capitalised, the lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, using a relevant incremental borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost and interest expense is recognised using the effective interest method. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability, and are charged to profit or loss as incurred.

The right-of-use asset recognised when a lease is capitalised is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see notes 2(e) and 2(h)(ii)).

Refundable rental deposits are accounted for separately from the right-of-use assets in accordance with the accounting policies applicable to investments in non-equity securities carried at amortised cost (see notes 2(d)(i), 2(s)(ii)(a) and 2(h)(i)). Any excess of the nominal value over the initial fair value of the deposits is accounted for as additional lease payments made and is included in the cost of right-of-use assets.

The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The lease liability is also remeasured when there is a lease modification, which means a change in the scope of a lease or the consideration for a lease that is not originally provided for in the lease contract, if such modification is not accounted for as a separate lease. In this case, the lease liability is remeasured based on the revised lease payments and lease term using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification. The only exceptions are rent concessions that occurred as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and met the conditions set out in paragraph 46B of IFRS 16 Leases. In such cases, the Group has taken advantage of the practical expedient not to assess whether the rent concessions are lease modifications, and recognised the change in consideration as negative variable lease payments in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the rent concessions occurred.

In the consolidated statement of financial position, the current portion of long-term lease liabilities is determined as the present value of contractual payments that are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

(h) Credit losses and impairment of assets

(i) Credit losses from financial instruments

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses ("ECL"s) on financial assets measured at amortised cost (including cash and cash equivalents, negotiable certificate of deposit, trade receivables and other receivables).

Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Generally, credit losses are measured as the present value of all expected cash shortfalls between the contractual and expected amounts.

The expected cash shortfalls are discounted using the following rates if the effect is material:

  • fixed-rate financial assets and trade and other receivables: effective interest rate determined at initial recognition or an approximation thereof;
  • variable-rate financial assets: current effective interest rate.

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

ECLs are measured on either of the following bases:

  • 12-month ECLs: these are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months); and
  • lifetime ECLs: these are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected lives of the items to which the ECL model applies.

The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured at 12-month ECLs:

  • financial instruments that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
  • other financial instruments for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

Significant increases in credit risk

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition and when measuring ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group's historical experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward-looking information.

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:

  • the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or
  • the financial asset is 90 days past due.

ECLs are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in the financial instrument's credit risk since initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss. The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

Credit-impaired financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable events:

  • significant financial difficulties of the debtor;
  • a breach of contract, such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;
  • the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise;
  • it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
  • the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties of the issuer.

Write-off policy

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group otherwise determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off.

Subsequent recoveries of an asset that was previously written off are recognised as a reversal of impairment in profit or loss in the period in which the recovery occurs.

(ii) Impairment of other non-current assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash-generating units ("CGU"s).

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the resulting carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(i) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value as follows:

Costs is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

(j) Contract liabilities

A contract liability is recognised when the customer pays non-refundable consideration before the Group recognises the related revenue (see note 2(s)(i)). A contract liability is also recognised if the Group has an unconditional right to receive non-refundable consideration before the Group recognises the related revenue. In such latter cases, a corresponding receivable is also be recognised (see note 2(k)).

(k) Trade and other receivables

A receivable is recognised when the Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration and only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are initially measured at their transaction price. Other receivables are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. All receivables are subsequently stated at amortised cost (see note 2(h)(i)).

(l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are assessed for ECL (see note 2(h)(i)).

(m) Trade and other payables (other than refund liabilities)

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at invoice amounts.

(n) Redemption liability

A contract that contains an obligation for the Company to purchase its own equity instruments for cash or another financial asset gives rise to a financial liability even if the Company's obligation to purchase is conditional on the counterparty exercising its right to redeem. The redemption liability is initially measured at the present value of the redemption amount and subsequently measured at amortised cost with any gains or losses on remeasurement of the redemption liability being recognised in profit or loss as changes in the carrying amount of the redemption liability. As the Company does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period, the amounts are classified as current liability.

The then carrying amount of the redemption liability is reclassified to equity upon a termination of the counterparty's redemption right.

(o) Interest-bearing borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are measured initially at fair value less transaction costs. Subsequently, these borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognised in accordance with note 2(t).

(p) Employee benefits

(i) Short term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are expensed as the related service is provided.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

(ii) Share-based payments

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payments granted to employees and directors is measured using the equity allocation method, of which underlying equity value is measured using the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method, taking into account any transfer restrictions imposed on the vested equity instruments, and based on the most likely outcome of the performance condition where there are mutually exclusive vesting alternatives.

The amount is generally recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related vesting conditions at the vesting date. The equity amounts are recognised in the share-based payment reserve until the awarded shares are vested (when it is transferred to the capital reserve). The subscription price received from the grantees, which is refundable when the awards are forfeited, is recognised as a deposit liability until the share-based payments vests.

(q) Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in OCI.

Current tax comprises the estimated tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustments to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects any uncertainty related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:

  • temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences;
  • temporary differences related to investment in subsidiaries to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future;
  • taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill; and
  • those related to the income taxes arising from tax laws enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two model rules published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

The Group recognised deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities separately in relation to its lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognise a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered, based on the business plans for individual subsidiaries in the Group. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

(r) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Generally provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products are sold, based on historical warranty data and a weighting of possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

(s) Revenue and other income

Income is classified by the Group as revenue when it arises from the sale of goods or the provision of services in the ordinary course of the Group's business.

Further details of the Group's revenue and other income recognition policies are as follows:

(i) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised when control over a product or service is transferred to the customer at the amount of promised consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled, excluding those amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as value added tax or other sales taxes.

(a) Revenue from mechanical massage service

The Group generates revenue from the provision of mechanical massage services to customers under the Direct Mode and mechanical massage POS operation support services to entities who are responsible for sourcing and establishing POS in local regions ("Local Partners") under the Partner Mode.

  • Direct Mode

The Group operates a network of mechanical massage equipment or pads which are located at the Group's points of service (the "POS") for providing mechanical massage services to customers under the Direct Mode. Revenue is recognised when the mechanical massage services are rendered to customers at the POS. The payment for service is usually collected from the customer in advance, either immediately before the customer requests the service or when the customer purchases a prepaid massage service package from the Group.

  • Partner Mode

The Group supports the Local Partners to operate the mechanical massage POS that are managed by the Local Partners under the Partner Mode. The operating support integrates the continuous access to the Group's mechanical massage equipment, IT technology and business management platform as an integral service during the partner contract period, and it is provided in exchange for a share of the gross transaction value (the "GTV") received by the Local Partners from the relevant POS (subject to a contractual minimum and capped amount where applicable). Revenue amounting to the GTV sharing that is entitled to the Group is recognised when the mechanical massage POS operation support services are rendered to the Local Partners.

The Group has set up its own mini-program and the customers can make advance payments to the Group via the mini-program. The Group mainly receives advance payments from customers in the form of deposits paid by customers to their accounts (which are refundable before they are consumed) and prepaid massage service packages sold to customers (which are non-refundable and entitle customers to have specified quantities of access to mechanical massage services within a fixed period of validity). These amounts can be consumed by customers to pay for the mechanical massage services at the POS they choose to visit, which may be operated by the Group under the Direct Mode or the Group's Local Partners under the Partner Mode.

In cases where the advance payments from customers are consumed at the Local Partners' POS, the Group recognises the portion of its GTV sharing relating to the mechanical massage POS operation support service as revenue according to the policy described under the Partner Mode. The remaining amounts are paid to the relevant Local Partners.

For the non-refundable prepaid massage service packages, the Group does not expect to be entitled to a breakage amount of the customers' unexercised rights. The unused balances are recognised as revenue upon expiry of the validity period.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

(b) Revenue from sales of household massage equipment and massage accessories

The Group sells household massage equipment and massage accessories to retail customers through self-operated online stores. Payment is collected by online e-commerce platform when customers place purchase orders and sales revenue is recognised when customers accept the products upon delivery.

The Group typically offers retail customers a right of return for a period of 7 days upon customer acceptance, which gives rise to variable consideration. The Group estimates and updates the variable consideration (subject to a constraint) and the related right to recover returned goods with all reasonably available information at each reporting date.

(c) Revenue from digital advertising service

Revenue from digital advertising service mainly represents revenue generated from advertisement service in the form of pop-up banners in the Group's mini program and Wechat official accounts. The advertisement contracts are signed between the Group and the advertising agencies to establish the service to be provided by the Group and relevant performance measures, mainly including cost per click (based on the number of clicks of the advertisement and a fixed unit price for each web article). Revenue from digital advertising service is recognised when the services are provided.

(d) Other practical expedients applied

In addition, the Group has applied the following practical expedients: For sales contracts that had an original expected duration of one year or less, the Group has not disclosed the information related to the aggregated amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations in accordance with paragraph 121(a) of IFRS 15.

(ii) Revenue from other sources and other income

(a) Interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. The "effective interest rate" is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. In calculating interest income, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired). However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.

(b) Government grants

Government grants are recognised in the statement of financial position initially when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them.

Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as income in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred.

Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and consequently are effectively recognised in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset by way of reduced depreciation expense.

(t) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(v) Segment reporting

Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group's most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Group's various lines of business and geographical locations.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

3 ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

(a) Critical accounting judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following accounting judgements:

(i) Determining the lease term

As explained in note 2(g), the lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term. In determining the lease term at the commencement date for leases that include renewal options exercisable by the Group, the Group evaluates the likelihood of exercising the renewal options taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Group to exercise the option, including favourable terms, leasehold improvements undertaken and the importance of that underlying asset to the Group’s operation. The lease term is reassessed when there is a significant event or significant change in circumstance that is within the Group’s control. Any increase or decrease in the lease term would affect the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised in future years.

(ii) Value added tax (the "VAT") and income tax

The Group generates revenue from the provision of mechanical massage services to customers under the Direct Mode and mechanical massage POS operation support services to Local Partners under the Partner Mode in Chinese Mainland during the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025. The Group is subject to VAT and income tax in Chinese Mainland. Evaluation of relevant tax positions of the Group involves judgment as to the interpretation and application of the relevant tax laws. The Group has exercised the best judgement of its tax obligations based on current facts and circumstances.

(b) Sources of estimation uncertainty

Notes 26 and 29(d) contain information about the assumptions and their risk factors relating to fair value of share granted and financial instruments. Other significant sources of estimation uncertainty are as follows:

(i) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, after taking into account the estimated residual value. The Group reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation expenses. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Group’s historical experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expenses for future periods are adjusted prospectively if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

(ii) Expected credit losses for trade and other receivables

The credit losses for trade and other receivables are based on assumptions about the expected loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, which are based on the Group’s past collection history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. For details of the key assumptions and inputs used, see note 29(a). Changes in these assumptions and estimates could materially affect the result of the assessment and the Group may be necessary to make additional loss allowances in future periods.

(iii) Net realisable value of inventories

Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of businesses, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. These estimates are based on the current market conditions and the historical experience of selling products with similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of changes in customer preferences and competitor actions in response to severe industry cycles. Management reassesses these estimates at the end of each reporting period.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

(i) Segment results

For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Group's most senior executive management monitors the results attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases:

Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to revenue generated by those segments and direct expenses incurred by those segments respectively. The measure used for reporting segment result is gross profit which is calculated based on revenue less cost of sales for the relevant segment. No inter-segment sales have occurred during the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025. Assistance provided by one segment to another, including sharing of assets and technical know-how, is not measured.

The Group's other operating income and expenses, such as other net income/(loss), selling and distribution expenses, administrative expenses, research and development expenses, finance costs, changes in the carrying amount of the redemption liability and assets and liabilities are not measured under individual segments. Accordingly, neither information on segment assets and liabilities nor information concerning capital expenditure, other operating income and expenses is presented.

Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers by the timing of revenue recognition, as well as information regarding the Group's reportable segments as provided to the Group's most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance for the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025 is set out below.

10 EARNINGS PER SHARE

(a) Basic earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share during the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025 is based on the profit attributable to ordinary equity shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue or deemed to be in issue for the respective year/period. The profit attributable to unvested ordinary shares held for employee incentive scheme with employees (see note 26) and the number of such shares have been excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share.

As described in note 28(c), the Company converted from a limited liability company into a joint stock limited liability company on 29 August 2024, with a registered capital of RMB50,000,000 divided into 50,000,000 shares with a nominal value of RMB1.00 each. For the purpose of computing basic and diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares were deemed to be in issue before the Company's conversion into a joint stock limited liability company as if the above conversion had occurred on 1 January 2022 at the exchange ratio established on 29 August 2024.

(b) Diluted earnings per share

For the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2024 and 2025, the unvested ordinary shares held for employee incentive scheme with employees and the shares with redemption rights were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The Company does not have other potential ordinary shares and therefore the amounts of diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings per share.

As at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 March 2025, the Group's massage equipment with carrying amount of nil, RMB41,251,000, RMB41,489,000 and RMB35,853,000 were pledged as collateral for the Group's bank loans (note 22) respectively.

In the second half of 2023, the Group identified some components of certain new models of massage equipment deployed in cinemas had quality problems, and decided to phase-out these massage equipment for repairment. As a result, the expected usage of these message equipment were lower than originally budgeted. The Group assessed the recoverable amounts of these massage equipment comprising the CGU in relation to its mechanical massage service under Direct Mode.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculation. The calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a two-year period. The key assumptions used in estimating the recoverable amount are as follows:

2023

Expected usage during the forecast period 77%-88%

Annual revenue growth rate during the forecast period 2.5%

Gross profit margin 36.5%

Pre-tax discount rate 9.8%

An impairment loss of RMB12,352,000 was recognised in "Other net income/(loss)" during the year ended 31 December 2023. As at 31 December 2023, the carrying amount of the CGU was written down to their recoverable amount of RMB8,103,000, any adverse change in the assumptions used in the calculation of recoverable amount would result in further impairment losses.

During the year ended 31 December 2024, the cost of these massage equipment was written off to the recoverable amount and transferred from "massage equipment" to "construction in progress" when they were sent to the Group's own processing and repair facility for repairment.

(b) Right-of-use assets

The analysis of the net book value of right-of-use assets by class of underlying asset is as follows:

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

The Group has obtained the right to use properties as its POS, manufacturing facilities and administrative offices through tenancy agreements. The leases typically run for an initial period of 1 to 5 years. Lease payments are usually increased every 1 year to reflect market rentals.

The Group leased a number of POS which contain variable lease payment terms that are based on revenue generated from the POS and minimum annual lease payment terms that are fixed. These payment terms are common in POS in Chinese Mainland where the Group operates. The amount of fixed and variable lease payments for the years/periods is summarised below:

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

24 REDEMPTION LIABILITY

In December 2017, Ma'anshan Cornerstone Yixiang Equity Investment Partnership Enterprise (LLP) ("Cornerstone Yixiang") entered into a capital increase agreement ("the Capital Increase Agreement") with the Company to subscribe for approximately RMB1,428,571 paid-in capital in the Company at the consideration of RMB50.0 million, which was fully settled in December 2017. As a result, Cornerstone Yixiang had an equity interest of 12.5% in the Company with preferential rights.

In addition to voting rights and dividend rights which are the same for all shareholders of the Company, certain key preferential rights granted to Cornerstone Yixiang stipulated under the Capital Increase Agreement are summarised as follows:

Cornerstone Yixiang has a right to require the Company and/or its founding shareholders to purchase all of the paid-in capital in the Company held under the Capital Increase Agreement upon the occurrence of certain events including but not limited to (i) its failure to consummate a qualified [REDACTED] within five years from the date of closing, or (ii) the total equity interest of the Company held by its founding shareholders is less than 30%. The redemption price shall be the higher of the following: (i) the consideration paid by Cornerstone Yixiang plus a simple interest of 10% per annum for the period from the payment date of the consideration up to the redemption date; or (ii) a pro-rata share of the Company's latest audited book net assets at that time.

In addition, upon the occurrence of a liquidation of the Company before a qualified [REDACTED], Cornerstone Yixiang is entitled to receive, prior and in preference in any distribution of assets of the Company to other shareholders, an amount equal to the consideration paid plus a simple interest of 10% per annum for the period from the payment date of the consideration up to the liquidation date. Any remaining net assets of the Company are distributed amongst all shareholders rateably.

The redemption liability is classified as a current liability as explained in note 2(n).

In April 2023, Cornerstone Yixiang entered into a repurchase agreement ("the Repurchase Agreement") with the Company to require the Company to repurchase RMB1,142,857 paid-in capital of the Company held by way of capital reduction. The consideration was RMB62,060,000 which was determined pursuant to the redemption price as set out in the Capital Increase Agreement and was fully settled in 2023. According to the Repurchase Agreement, Cornerstone Yixiang and the Company extended the due date of the qualified [REDACTED] for three years.

As at 31 December 2022 and 2023, the carrying amounts of redemption liability of RMB75,062,000 and RMB16,009,000 are calculated based on the higher of the consideration paid plus an interest of 10% per annum or the pro-rata share of the Company's net assets at that date.

On 28 February 2024, Cornerstone Yixiang waived all preferential rights stipulated under the Capital Increase Agreement and the Repurchase Agreement. As a result, the Company derecognised the redemption liability and included its carrying amount in equity.

The movements of the redemption liability of the Company during the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2024 are set out in note 18(c).

25 EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFITS

26 EQUITY-SETTLED SHARE-BASED TRANSACTIONS

The Group has adopted employee incentive schemes on 1 December 2021 (the "Employee Incentive Scheme 2021") and 8 September 2023 (the "Employee Incentive Scheme 2023"), respectively. The purpose of the employee incentive schemes is to provide incentives and rewards to eligible participants for their past and future contributions to the Group. In connection with the Employee Incentive Scheme 2021 and Employee Incentive Scheme 2023, Lemo Gongchuang and Lemo Gongying were established in Chinese Mainland respectively as the employee incentive vehicles to respectively subscribe RMB415,804 and RMB252,741 registered capital of the Company. Eligible participants as approved by the Company were granted the equity interests in the form of registered capital of the Company through holding the limited partnership interests in Lemo Gongchuang or Lemo Gongying (referred to as "Restricted Equity Interests"). The employee incentive vehicles are treated as the subsidiaries of the Company because their relevant activities are directed by the Company so as to suit the Group's obligations in relation to the employee incentive schemes.

On 29 August 2024, the Company was converted into a joint stock limited liability company (note 28(c)(i)), and therefore, the total registered capital of the Company, amounting to RMB668,545, indirectly granted to the eligible participants of the employee incentive schemes were converted into 3,051,530 restricted shares of the Company on the same terms and conditions without a change in the underlying economic interests.

(a) Details of terms and conditions of the respective Restricted Equity Interests granted:

Employee Incentive Scheme 2021

On 1 December 2021, 29 July 2022 and 7 June 2024, certain directors of the Company were granted the Restricted Equity Interests in the form of the Company's registered capital of RMB226,139, RMB7,295 and RMB14,590, respectively, at a subscription price of RMB8.4 per each registered capital. These share awards were vested immediately at the corresponding dates of grant.

On 1 December 2021, 16 employees of the Company were granted the Restricted Equity Interests in the form of the Company's registered capital of RMB189,665 at a subscription price of RMB8.4 per each registered capital, which would be vested on the completion of the required service period of 36 months from the date of grant, subject to the employee's annual performance evaluation each year. On 1 December 2024, 765,821 unvested shares pursuant to the Employee Incentive Scheme 2021 were vested at the date of 36 months from the date of grant. The Company has the right to repurchase the Restricted Equity Interests at the original subscription price if the service requirement is not satisfied. As at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 March 2025, the deposit liabilities recognised under the Employee Incentive Scheme 2021 were RMB1,532,000, RMB1,532,000, nil and nil respectively.

The directors and employees are only allowed to transfer their vested Restricted Equity Interests to the other eligible participants of the Employee Incentive Scheme 2021. If the employees' services are terminated before [REDACTED], the employees are required to surrender the share award at a specified price or transfer it to other eligible participants. This transfer restriction will be released after three years upon completion of the [REDACTED].

Employee Incentive Scheme 2023

On 8 September 2023, one director of the Company was granted the Restricted Equity Interests in the form of the Company's registered capital of RMB76,163 at a subscription price of RMB10.58 per each registered capital. Further, on 31 August 2024, the same director of the Company was granted the Restricted Equity Interests in the form of 29,308 Company's shares at a subscription price of RMB2.32 per share. The share awards granted to the directors were vested immediately at the corresponding dates of grant.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

On 8 September 2023, 12 employees of the Company were granted the Restricted Equity Interests in the form of the Company's registered capital of RMB176,578 at a subscription price of RMB10.58 per each registered capital, which would vest on the completion of the required service period of 36 months from the date of grant or the end of the A-share IPO lock-up period as mandated by stock exchanges in Chinese Mainland, whichever is later, and it is subject to the employee's annual performance evaluation each year. On 14 December 2023, the Group modified the share awards granted to the employees to remove the requirement of the occurrence of A-share IPO during the vesting period. From the date of the modification, the Group would take into account the revised vesting condition and recognises the grant-date fair value during the revised vesting period with adjusting the recognised share-based payment cost in the period of the modification to the amount that would have been recognised if the revised vesting conditions had always existed.

On 26 September 2024, 1 director and 4 employees of the Company were granted the Restricted Equity Interests in the form of the Company's shares at a subscription price of RMB4.09 per share. These share awards would vest on the completion of the required service period of 36 months from the date of grant, subject to the employee's annual performance evaluation each year.

The Company has the right to repurchase the share awards at the original subscription price if the service requirement is not satisfied. As at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 March 2025, the deposit liabilities recognised under Employee Incentive Scheme 2023 were nil, RMB1,868,000, RMB3,334,000 and RMB3,334,000 respectively.

(c) Fair value of the share awards and assumptions

The fair value of services received in return for the Restricted Equity Interests granted is measured by reference to the fair value of Restricted Equity Interests granted at the corresponding dates of grant. No adjustment is required for expected dividends as the directors and employees are entitled to receive dividends paid during the vesting period. Except for those ordinary shares granted on 26 September 2024, whose fair value is measured with reference to the issuance price of a recent transaction of the Company's fundraising activity, discounted cash flow method was used to determine the underlying equity fair value of the Company with following key assumptions at the respective dates of share grant:

The net assets of the Company as of the conversion base date, which is 29 February 2024, including paid-in capital, capital reserve, statutory reserve and retained profits were converted into 50,000,000 ordinary shares at RMB1.00 each. The excess of the net assets converted over the nominal value of the ordinary shares was credited to the Company's share premium. Upon the completion of registration with the Pingtan Administration for Industry and Commerce on 29 August 2024, the Company was converted into a joint stock limited liability company under PRC Company Law.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. All ordinary shares rank equally with regard to the Company's residual assets.

(d) Nature and purpose of reserves

(i) Capital reserve and share premium

The capital reserve of the Group represents contribution from shareholders in excess of the registered paid-in capital of the Company before its conversion into a joint stock limited liability company in August 2024.

The share premium of the Group represents the difference between the nominal value of the ordinary shares of the Company and its net assets value as of the conversion base date upon the conversion into a joint stock limited liability company in August 2024.

(ii) Share-based payment reserve

The share-based payment reserve comprises the portion of difference between the fair value of shares granted and the consideration paid by the directors and employees of the Group that has been recognised in accordance with the accounting policy adopted for equity-settled share-based payments in note 2(p)(ii).

(iii) Statutory reserve

Pursuant to the Articles of Association of the Group's Chinese Mainland companies and relevant statutory regulations, appropriations to the statutory reserve fund were made at 10% of profit after tax determined in accordance with accounting rules and regulations of the Chinese Mainland until the reserve balance reaches 50% of the registered capital. This reserve fund can be utilised in setting off accumulated losses or increasing capital of the Chinese Mainland companies provided that the balance after such conversion is not less than 25% of their registered capital, and is non-distributable other than in liquidation.

(e) Capital management

The Group's primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk and by securing access to finance at a reasonable cost.

The Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to maintain a balance between the higher shareholder returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

29 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Exposure to credit, liquidity and interest rate risks arises in the normal course of the Group's business. The Group's exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Group to manage these risks are described below.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables. The Group's exposure to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks and financial institutions for which the Group considers to represent low credit risk.

The Group does not provide any guarantees which would expose the Group to credit risk.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

Trade receivables

The Group has established a credit risk management policy under which individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer's past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. Trade receivables are due within 30 to 90 days from the date of billing. Debtors with balances that are more than 3 months past due are requested to settle all outstanding balances before any further credit is granted. Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from customers.

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk in industries or countries in which the customers operate. Significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Group has significant exposure to individual customers. At 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 March 2025, 4.00%, 4.58%, 4.62% and nil of the total trade receivables was due from the Group's largest customer in each year/period during the Track Record Period respectively within the segment of mechanical massage POS operation support services under the Partner Mode, and 25.22%, 15.93%, 13.67% and nil of the total trade receivables was due from the Group's five largest customers in each year/period during the Track Record Period respectively.

The Group measures loss allowances for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, which is calculated using a provision matrix. As the Group's historical credit loss experience does not indicate significantly different loss patterns for different type of customer, the loss allowance based on past due status is not distinguished among the Group's different customer types.

The following table provides information about the Group's exposure to credit risk and ECLs for trade receivables:

As at 31 December 2022

1,940 730
  • This amount represents amount less than RMB500.

Expected loss rates are based on actual loss experience over the past 36 months. These rates are adjusted to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historic data has been collected, current conditions and the Group's view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.

Movement in the loss allowance account in respect of trade receivables during the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025 is as follows:

Year ended 31 December Three months ended 31 March

Balance at 31 December/31 March 1,700 1,738 1,072 730

Deposits and other receivables

Deposits and other receivables mainly represent rental deposits. The expected credit losses are estimated by applying a loss rate approach with reference to the historical loss record of the Group. The loss rate is adjusted to reflect the current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions, as appropriate. The following table provides information about the Group's exposure to credit risk and ECLs for deposits and other receivables:

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

(b) Liquidity risk

The treasury function of the Group is centrally managed by the Group, which includes the short-term investment of cash surpluses and the raising of funds to cover expected cash demands. The Group's policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and adequate committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The following tables show the remaining contractual maturities at the end of each reporting period of the Group's financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the end of the reporting period) the date the Group is contractually required to pay, or if the counterparty has the choice of when the amount should be paid (irrespective of the fulfilment of covenants), and the earliest date the Group can be required to pay:

(c) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's interest rate risk arises primarily from cash at banks, negotiable certificate of deposit, bank loans, redemption liability and lease liabilities. Interest-bearing financial instruments at variable rates and at fixed rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk, respectively. The Group's interest rate risk profile as monitored by management is set out in (i) below.

(i) Interest rate risk profile

The following table, as reported to the management of the Group, details the interest rate risk profile of the Group at the end of each reporting period:

(ii) Sensitivity analysis

At 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have increased/decreased the Group's profit after tax and retained profits by approximately RMB302,000, RMB221,000 and RMB20,000 respectively.

At 31 March 2025, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have decreased/increased the Group's profit after tax and retained profits by approximately RMB39,000.

The sensitivity analysis above indicates the instantaneous change in the Group's profit after tax (and retained profits) that would arise assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the end of the reporting period and had been applied to re-measure those financial instruments held by the Group which expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk at the end of the reporting period. In respect of the exposure to cash flow interest rate risk arising from floating rate non-derivative instruments held by the Group at the end of the reporting period, the impact on the Group's profit after tax (and retained profits) is estimated as an annualised impact on interest expense or income of such a change in interest rates. The sensitivity analyses are performed on the same basis during the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025.

(d) Fair value measurement

(i) Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value

Fair value hierarchy

The following table presents the fair value of the Group's financial instruments measured at the end of the reporting period on a recurring basis, categorised into the three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13, Fair value measurement. The level into which a fair value measurement is classified is determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:

  • Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
  • Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available.
  • Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs.

There was no financial instruments measured at fair value as at 31 March 2025.

During the years ended 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended 31 March 2025, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or transfers into or out of Level 3. The Group's policy is to recognise transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting period in which they occur.

Valuation techniques and inputs used in Level 2 fair value measurements

Valuation method used for wealth management products and negotiate certificate of deposit

The fair value of wealth management products and negotiate certificate of deposit in level 2 is determined by using the DCF models. Future cash flows are estimated based on contractual terms of the wealth management products and negotiate certificate of deposit and discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of counterparties.

(ii) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost

The carrying amounts of the Group's financial instruments carried at amortised cost were not materially different from their fair values as at 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 31 March 2025.
