Chairman’s Statement

On behalf of the board of directors (the “ Board ”) of Linekong Interactive Group Co., Ltd., I am pleased to present to our valued shareholders and investors the business review and development prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “ Group ”) for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 (the “ Reporting Period ”).

In 2025, the global macroeconomic environment and the technology industry landscape continued to evolve, leading to the coexistence of market volatility alongside structural opportunities. The Group upheld its strategic approach through focusing on the Web3 business as its core of development, while developing its two traditionally strong segments of game and film businesses at a steady pace. The Group has also proactively explored and allocated resources to the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics applications, with all segments maintaining steady progress, thereby laying a solid foundation for sustainable growth of the Group.

2025 Business Review

(I) Traditional business operations remain robust, strengthening the foundations of our business

As the Group’s core pan-entertainment businesses, the game and film businesses both maintained stable operations during the Reporting Period, providing the Group with a steady source of cash flow.

With regard to game business, the Group operated a total of 14 game products. Through refined operations, iterative updates and maintaining user stickiness, impressive results of localized operations in key overseas markets, such as Korea, could be seen. The Group deeply integrated AI technology into the entire research and development and operation process, achieving efficiency gains and cost reductions in sections, such as character modeling, scene generation and personalized recommendations, thereby driving the digital and intelligent upgrades of its business.

With regard to film business, Linekong Pictures adopted a core strategy of “balancing quality and growth” in producing the standout drama “陷入我們的熱戀”, which has become a benchmark project for returns on investment within the industry and has enabled us to accumulate whole-process operational experience. During the Reporting Period, our key pipeline projects, such as “燃燒的四季”, “殺妻疑 雲” and “破春光”, progressed in an orderly manner, whilst the joint production project, namely “Ancient Music Records (古樂風華錄)”, advanced smoothly. Meanwhile, the Group also initiated exploratory applications of AIGC technology within the film sector and completed upgrading the team’s whole-process operational capabilities.

(II) Implementation of Web3 business strategy of dual breakthroughs in crypto assets and ecosystem development

Since establishing Web3 as our strategic priority in 2024, the Group has continued to leverage Hong Kong’s favorable policies to advance its compliance framework. In July 2025, the Group established the LK Crypto division to oversee all Web3 and crypto asset related businesses, whilst actively exploring innovative areas, such as Real-world Asset on-chain (RWA) and stablecoins.

With regard to investments in crypto assets, the Group adopts a flexible and prudent strategy to manage market volatility. As of the end of the Reporting Period, the Group (excluding any non-controlling company) held a total of 118.5716 units of Bitcoin, 570.6322 units of Ethereum and 7,691.705 units of Solana. In 2025, realized gains amounted to US$3.7 million, contributing significantly to the growth of the Group’s assets and the improvement in its profitability.

With regard to its ecosystem strategy, the Group’s Element platform has undergone a strategic upgrade, transforming from a singlepurpose NFT trading platform into a diversified digital asset trading platform, with GMV, user base and profitability continuing to grow.

(III) Taking a forward-looking approach to new emerging sectors, while paying attention to AI and robotics applications

The Group has been closely monitoring the opportunities for industrial upgrading associated with the sectors of AI and robotics applications, and has actively explored and strategically positioned itself in these areas to capitalize on the benefits of the global technological revolution.

Chairman’s Statement

2026 Business Prospects

2026 will mark the first year of large-scale global AI applications, and robotics applications will also advance to a new stage, the Group will therefore continue to attach full attention to opportunities of development in such areas and focus on its strategic objectives to steadily promote the development of all business segments.

In terms of game business, we will deepen the refined operation of our existing product portfolio, amplify efforts in new product development and overseas market expansion, and continue to deepen the application of AI technology to strengthen our core competitiveness.

In terms of film business, we will facilitate the filming of our key projects, such as “燃燒的四季”, “殺妻疑雲”, “破春光”, to commence on schedule. We will also advance the official launch of “Ancient Music Records (古樂風華錄)” to accelerate the application of AIGC technology in content development, thereby creating a premium benchmark for the industry.

The Web3 business will continue to optimize the allocation of crypto assets, driving upgrades of Element platform ecosystem and allowing exploration of innovative business models within the regulatory framework.

In the future, the Group will strengthen synergies across its various business segments, continue to increase investment in technological research and development, content creation and market expansion, as well as constantly enhancing its core competitiveness, to create greater value for shareholders and achieve the Group’s long-term sustainable development.

Management Discussion and Analysis

BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

In 2025, the global macroeconomic environment and the technology industry landscape continued to evolve, leading to the coexistence of market volatility alongside structural opportunities. In this complex and changing environment, the Group continued to deepen its business transformation and innovation, maintaining a strong strategic focus on the Web3 business, while developing its two traditionally strong segments of game and film businesses at a steady pace. With its forward-looking strategic layout, efficient execution capabilities, and accurate grasp of market trends, the Group’s various business segments have achieved remarkable results, laying a solid foundation for steady growth throughout the year.

Web3 Business: a strategic focus of our development, striving for breakthroughs in investment, application and computing services

Since the Group established the Web3 business as its strategic focus in 2024, it has continued to invest in Web3 business. As policies become more favorable, such as the Hong Kong government’s efforts to build a foundation for Web3, cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, such policy developments have far-reaching implications for the Group. In terms of stablecoin regulations, Hong Kong’s Stablecoins Ordinance became effective in August 2025, which established the licensing system for issuers. As of March 2026, although the countdown to the first batch of licences has begun, the regulatory institutions uphold the principle of “quality over quantity” in promoting the standardization of stablecoin market. The U.S. government’s approval of the GENIUS Act and its approval of allowing 401(k) retirement accounts to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies and stablecoins highlight its support for the development of digital assets and will boost market confidence and help the Group in optimizing its investment portfolio while complying with those applicable regulations. This will facilitate the Group’s relevant investment, trading and financial innovative businesses while safeguarding asset security. The Group will continue to monitor policy developments closely and make timely adjustment to its strategies, in order to promote the steady growth of its crypto assets investment business while in compliance with regulations.

In 2025, with regard to crypto assets investments, the Group continued to monitor the market. Despite significant market volatility, we responded to market fluctuations with flexible and prudent strategies. As of the end of the Reporting Period, the Group (excluding any non-controlling company) held a total of 118.5716 units of Bitcoin, 570.6322 units of Ethereum and 7,691.705 units of Solana. In 2025, realized gains amounted to US$3.7 million. Crypto assets held by the Group have made significant contributions to the growth of the Group’s assets and the improvement of its profit and loss position. With an aim to achieve the goal of asset preservation and value appreciation amidst the fluctuating market, we will continue to review our cryptocurrency position from time to time having regard to market conditions, our liquidity needs, risk management, internal investment limits, applicable regulatory requirements and subject to the approval of the Board. This initiative is not just a short-term move, but also aims to lay the foundation for the Group to expand into the Web3 business and facilitate the Group to seize the initiative in the emerging technological fields, constructing a more competitive business layout.

In July 2025, the Group announced the establishment of the LK Crypto division. This is a significant strategic decision of the Group to capitalize on the historic opportunities presented by Hong Kong’s Web3 policy. As the core platform for executing the Group’s Web3 strategy, the LK Crypto division oversees all of its Web3 and crypto assets related businesses, including the management of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and other mainstream crypto assets held by the Group and the crypto assets held by the non-controlling companies of the Group (including LK Venture, Marsbit, Element, etc.). Through the integration of resources, the Group aims to establish a more comprehensive and efficient Web3 business system, focusing on the new emerging investment sectors, such as real-world asset on-chain (RWA), stablecoins and others, and carrying out preliminary research and exploratory work with caution. At the same time, by leveraging Hong Kong’s policy advantages, we aim to participate in the investment and cooperation of more innovative projects while complying with regulations, thereby proactively promoting the implementation of these projects. However, with the implementation of policies, more stringent regulations have also brought challenges. For example, the Stablecoins Ordinance imposes strict requirements on anti-money laundering, investor protection and other aspects. While engaging in crypto assets investment and relevant businesses, the Group shall allocate more resources in compliance, so as to ensure that its operation complies with regulatory standards and avoids potential legal risks.

In 2025, the Element platform of the Group maintained steady growth in the Web3 trading market and continued to expand its presence in the sectors of NFT trading and multi-chain infrastructure, thereby successfully completing a strategic transition from a single-purpose NFT platform to a diversified digital asset trading platform. The GMV of the platform achieved a significant breakthrough for the year, whilst total revenue maintained a steady growth momentum. Benefiting from the optimizations to the underlying computing architecture, annual node operation and maintenance costs were substantially reduced, while the platform’s net profit margin, number of new unique addresses and DAU all attained steady increases. Core system evolution: we officially launched our indexer 2.0 in the first quarter and maintained stable operation throughout the year. Based on distributed computing and highly efficient indexing algorithms, it not only significantly reduced resource consumption, but also achieved a significant leap in data throughput. Multi-chain ecosystem positioning: we accelerated the expansion of our presence in the cutting-

Management Discussion and Analysis

edge public blockchains throughout the year. We completed the integration with high-performance public blockchains, such as Abstract and BeraChain, and in the second half of the year became the first platform to connect with Monad, the popular new public blockchain. Furthermore, we established in-depth collaborations with Bitlayer, Mantra, Nibiru and ZetaChain to comprehensively consolidate our advantages in core infrastructure and traffic inflow during the starting stage of new blockchains. Asset types expansion and frontier exploration: we have successfully expanded our business lines from traditional NFT to Fungible Token. Meanwhile, by keeping abreast of industry trends and exploring ways to integrate the x402 protocol with NFT interaction mechanisms, we continued to provide matching engines and operational support for projects. Comprehensive upgrade to the distribution system (Drops): In the second half of the year, we carried out in-depth optimizations to the Drops system, to deliver a “Simple & Fast” launch experience and a “One-stop Launch Flow” integrated process, whilst ensuring full H5 compatibility across all platforms, thereby significantly lowering the barrier to entry. The launch of ERC-20-based Drops functionality at the same time will further expand the range of distribution scenarios. Launchpad and risk control: the introduction of a multi-dimensional due diligence and risk quantification system has significantly increased the success rate of project launches and synergized various public blockchain incentive programs to effectively boost the overall GMV of the platform and user activity. In 2025, through continuous product iteration and ecosystem expansion, Element laid a solid ecosystem foundation for the next-generation trading ecosystem featuring multiple assets, cross-chain capabilities and high liquidity, resulting in a significant enhancement of the overall product competitiveness of the platform.

In January 2024, we invested in EcoPowX, a company engaged in the provision of computing solutions for AI computing and Bitcoin network through establishing more environmentally-friendly flare gas power generation facilities and premises. EcoPowX intends to cooperate with large oilfields and natural gas processing equipment suppliers in West Africa, in order to promote the eco-friendly processing of flare gas in oilfields. As part of its cryptocurrency mining and graphics processing units computing provision business, the overall operation of EcoPowX centers on power sources for AI computing and cryptocurrencies mining, which provide sustainable green solutions and technical support. Currently, the equipment of the project has been installed and is pending final trial operation and acceptance before it could be put into operation.

Game Business: leveraging AI innovation as a core driver to empower the highquality development of our game business

In 2025, supported by the Group’s extensive product portfolio, refined operation system and continued investment in innovation, our business demonstrated strong operating resilience and development momentum, providing solid support for the healthy and steady growth of the Group’s overall results. Through deepened and refined operations, as well as continuous iterations and updates, the Group’s existing classic game products were able to maintain stable operations, thereby effectively maintaining user stickiness and core market competitiveness to ensure the sustained unlock of value from our existing product portfolio.

With regard to the overseas market, the Group’s existing game products maintained stable operations in Korea and other core overseas regions. With our in-depth knowledge on local culture ecosystem and refined localized operation strategies, our game contents could maintain their core gameplay and brand personality entirely, while catering to regional user preferences and consumption patterns accurately. Not only has this further solidified our overseas market foundation, but it has also demonstrated long-term operation viability to consistently contribute stable overseas turnover and thus, serving as a solid support for the business growth of the Group.

The Group mainly leverages innovative AI technology and thoroughly integrates it into the full process of game development and operation to keep facilitating digital and intelligent upgrades of its business. During development, AI technology is broadly used in core development sections, such as character modeling, scene generation, code programming and other areas, to soundly improve our development efficiency, optimize quality of our products and significantly shorten the development cycle at the same time, thereby reducing the costs of research and development. During operation, AI technology facilitates personalized content recommendations, quick response of intelligent customer service and dynamic adjustments to game balance, thereby enhancing user engagement and service experience and maintaining a fair and orderly competitive environment for our games to further enhance user retention.

Looking forward to 2026, the game business of the Group will center on the three core directions of product innovation, market expansion and technology upgrades, comprehensively promoting effective business growth with high quality, sustainably enhancing core competitiveness and assisting the Group to achieve high quality development. In respect of existing operations, the Group will further deepen its refined operation strategies and continue to improve product quality and user experience through game engine upgrades, visual quality improvement, storyline extensions and social gameplay optimizations, thereby extending the lifecycle of existing products effectively and fully exploring the growth potential of our existing products. The Group will retain focus on development of new mobile games, application of cutting-edge technologies and expansion of value of its game IPs, increase its investment in research and development, and encourage its R&D team to explore new gameplay, new themes and new technological applications. The Group will also deepen industry-academia-research cooperation, enhance research and development capabilities constantly and foster a strong innovative culture to create a new product portfolio with core competitiveness. In terms of

technology upgrades, the Group will further expand its integrated applications of AI technology, proactively explore intelligent script generation and other new application scenarios, and at the same time, strengthen the establishment of cybersecurity system and server performance optimization to ensure the stable operation of its business. The Group will pay close attention to the development of blockchain, cloud gaming and other emerging technologies, and remain positive to explore the new business model of “technology+content”, in order to maintain our lead in technology and lay a solid foundation for the Group’s long-term sustainable development.

As of December 31, 2025, the Group operated 14 online games. Each game product maintained its stable operation, providing the Group with consistent and stable cash flow and ensuring the stability and sustainability of the Group’s operation. In 2026, the Group will continue to maintain stable operation of its existing products, and ensure further extension of its existing products’ lifecycle and a gradual rise in user activity by constantly expanding its refined operation and user maintenance. Meanwhile, the Group will conduct in-depth research and analysis of market development trends, precisely estimate the core demands of players and experiment with new gameplay and operation mechanisms in a proactive manner. Based on market trends and user preferences, we will introduce innovative content such as strategy game mechanics, MOBA elements and random generation, and refine these through multiple rounds of testing and optimizations to ensure the playability and replayability of our games, thereby driving the Group’s game business growth and promoting a sustained and healthy development of the Group’s business.

Film Business: sustaining long dramas, breaking into mid-length drama market and incubating AIGC

Linekong’s film business has been steadily building our product portfolio, enriching our potential IP reserve and promoting the production of its high-quality premium IP dramas.

In 2025, in response to the industry restructuring, Linekong Pictures adopted a core strategy of “balancing quality and growth”, achieving significant milestones in areas such as the operation of long dramas and the exploration of AIGC technology, whilst upgrading the whole-process operational capabilities of the team. In 2026, the Group will focus on three key pillars, namely “content quality, resource integration and project risk management”, to drive the implementation of key long drama projects and the application of AIGC technology, so as to further strengthen its core competitiveness and continue to contribute values to the Group’s overall development.

Being one of the core broadcasted series in 2025, “陷入我們的熱戀” became one of the year’s standout modern idol dramas of the year after its release on Tencent Video on May 28, 2025. The drama ranked top 2 among modern idol dramas on Tencent Video in 2025 with an outstanding performance of key data represented by a peak popularity score of 25,087.

The drama has received widespread acclaim from authoritative media outlets like People’s Daily Online and CCTV News and has fully recovered all outstanding payments, establishing itself as a benchmark project for return on investment for the year. It has also constructed a comprehensive system covering post-production risk control under compressed schedules, multi-round review coordination, and promotional media management, accumulating valuable experience for the operation of future reserve and joint production projects. In 2026, the Company will systematically summarize the successful experience gained from this project and thoroughly apply its end-to-end operational methodology to subsequent key long drama projects, thereby helping to enhance the quality and operational efficiency of all types of projects.

Among our pipeline of long drama projects, the female-led mystery series “燃燒的四季” completed the first draft of its 12-episode script in 2025. It has successfully passed the initial review by the Sichuan Provincial Bureau of Radio, Film and Television (四川省廣播電視局) and the joint review by the Public Security Bureau. We have signed Han Sanping (韓三平) to serve as our executive producer and Zhang Yong (張勇) to act as our chief script supervisor. Having passed the first-round assessment of Tencent Video, the script of the project is currently being refined in accordance with the feedback on such platform to ensure thorough preparation for the subsequent filming. In 2026, the project is scheduled to commence filming in the second and third quarters of the year. The Company will facilitate its cooperation with Tencent Video on its production at its best endeavours, continue to refine the script content, strictly control project quality and ensure smooth progress of the project.

“殺妻疑雲”, which is also in the female-led suspense genre, finished the signing of Luo Hong (羅虹) to be the scriptwriter in 2025. The story outline and episode synopses were completed simultaneously and the scripts for episodes 1 to 5 were successfully finalized, defining the filing procedure with the Guangdong Provincial Bureau and laying the groundwork for the subsequent progress of the project. In 2026, the Company will further clarify the production timeline of the project, with filming scheduled to commence in the third and fourth quarters of the year. The focus will be on refining the final script and assembling the core creative team to ensure the project could be delivered as planned.

Management Discussion and Analysis

The regional and humanistics featured drama “破春光”, as the Group’s flagship S class project focusing on “realism+intangible cultural heritage”, completed the contracting of copyright and scriptwriting in 2025, and commenced the scriptwriting for episodes 1 to 4. The drama successfully completed the filing and public notice process with the National Radio and Television Administration (國家廣播電視總局), and concluded onsite research in the Chaoshan region (潮汕地區). Concurrently, plans for cultural and tourism spin-off development were also formulated, which established a diversified a development model characterized by “content + cultural tourism”. In 2026, the project will complete the full script and commence filming in the third quarter, further deepening the integration of Chaozhou-Shantou regional culture and implementing the cultural tourism spin-off development plan, with an aim of creating an influential and popular “cultural export” for 2027. Currently, the project has been progressing at full speed and has achieved significant milestones in the first quarter of 2026: in January, the scriptwriting team was organized to conduct in-depth field research in Puning, Guangdong, to explore the essence of Yingge Dance (英歌舞) culture; in March, a strategic partnership was established with the Puning Municipal Government, designating Nanxi Water Village (南溪水鄉) as the core principal filming location and planning a “film-scenery integrated promotion” model; and also in March, a global casting call was kicked off to accumulate market popularity in advance. The project was scripted by Zhang Wei (張巍), the renowned scriptwriter, and featured with natural scarcity and topic dominance, aligning with the global trends in cultural exchange and development in 2026. The project is estimated to become a benchmark among the Company’s pipeline of cultural projects.

With regard to our joint production projects, “Ancient Music Records (古樂風華錄)” completed its filming in 2024, and continued its postproduction throughout 2025. With the overall progress being smooth, and the project is expected to be officially released in 2026. In 2026, the Company’s focus will be on finalizing the post-production of the project and strictly controlling production quality to ensure its release as scheduled successfully. The Company will also prepare for the project’s pre-launch promotion and distribution to fully guarantee broadcast impact of the project and enhance its influence.

“唸唸人間玉”, another of our joint productions, was released on iQIYI (愛奇藝) on July 31, 2024. As of August 5, 2025, such drama had been played 72.7427 million times by paid members. The drama’s performance met the Company’s expectations, which demonstrated the success of the collaboration. In 2026, the Company will continue to monitor the long-tail effects of such project and systematically summarize its broadcasting experience and cooperation model to provide practical and useful reference for the operation of future joint productions, thereby helping to improve the overall quality of the joint production business.

In the fields of AIGC and IP incubation, Linekong Pictures duly initiated its exploration of AIGC technology application within the film business sector in 2025, and at the same time, underwent the selection and incubation of high quality IPs and successfully completed the preliminary groundwork for the implementation of AIGC technology, securing ample resources for future film-comics collaboration and content development, whilst generating new momentum for the sustainable growth of the business. In 2026, the Company will continue to deepen the application of AIGC technology in film content development. By using key pipeline projects as pilot schemes, the Company will validate the film-comics collaboration model of “low-cost AIGC testing — data feedback — film development”, and we, concurrently, will continue to identify high-quality content to secure three premium IPs for 24-episode A+ class long dramas, and drive the practical implementation of AIGC technology in core processes, such as script evaluation and concept design, thereby facilitating cost reduction and efficiency enhancement in content development.

In terms of team capacity building and organizational structure optimization, in 2025, leveraging the end-to-end operation of various long drama projects throughout the year, the team of Linekong Pictures achieved a comprehensive upgrade in capabilities. Moving beyond its original focus on content planning alone, the team gradually built an end-to-end project management capability covering script development, project risk control, regulatory coordination, marketing and distribution management and channel collaboration, thereby laying a solid foundation for the subsequent expansion of business scale for the team. In 2026, the Company will further optimize its existing flat, efficient and multi-disciplinary elite team structure (the current project-based matrix management system), through designating the management responsibilities of “Track Leaders”, complementing support from the research and development platform, systematically consolidating project operation methodologies, to continuously enhance the team’s efficiency and capabilities across the end-to-end operation of projects. Meanwhile, based on business practices in 2025 and development objectives for 2026, the Company will implement four core operational strategies to provide robust safeguards for the orderly advancement of various business operations: 1) end-to-end IP operation, by planning a collaboration pathway for “comic dramas + short dramas + long dramas” from the project initiation stage to maximize IP value; 2) technology-driven cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, by introducing digital production systems, such as Virtual Production and Cloud Production, whilst deepening the application of AIGC technology; 3) a premium-content-focused strategy, by concentrating core resources to create the cultural hit, namely “破春光”, and achieving a major breakthrough in the mystery genre; and 4) the retention of key creative talents, by establishing deep and long-term partnerships with one or two S class directors/scriptwriters to ensure the content quality of our projects remains controllable.

Management Discussion and Analysis

Based on the above, 2025 marked a critical year for Linekong Pictures in terms of “breaking boundaries and laying foundations (破界築基)”. Through the operations throughout the year, the Company achieved fruitful results in establishing benchmark long drama, strategically positioning AIGC technology and upgrading team capabilities, thereby laying a solid foundation of projects and talent for future development. 2026 will be the pivotal year for Linekong Pictures to “break through and deliver (攻堅落地)”, with the core mission being to drive decisive progress in leading projects within the long drama sector and to practically apply AIGC technology to our film business. In the future, Linekong Pictures will continue to focus on its two core directions of “end-to-end IP operation (IP全鏈路運營)” and “technology-driven efficiency (科技提效)”, establishing itself as an industry benchmark in long drama sector. Through continuously enhancing its core competitiveness and sustainable development capabilities, Linekong Pictures will, as one of the Group’s traditional strengths, continue to contribute value to the Group’s overall development.

In 2025, Linekong Interactive Group made significant progress in its Web3 business, game business and film business. By actively embracing industry transformation and increasing investment in technology research and development, content creation and market expansion, the Group has maintained steady progress amid a complex market environment. Looking ahead to 2026, we believe that it will mark the first year of largescale global AI applications, and that robotics applications will also advance to a new stage, the Group is therefore paying full attention to such development. Meanwhile, the Group will continue to focus on its strategic objectives, steadily promote the development of all business segments, give full play to the synergies between business segments and continuously enhance its core competitiveness, in order to create greater value for shareholders and achieve sustainable development for the Group.

Non-IFRS Accounting Standards measure — adjusted net loss

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards, we also adopted adjusted net loss as an additional financial measure to evaluate our financial performance by eliminating the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of the performance of our business. Our adjusted net loss was derived from our net loss for the respective year deducted those charged to sharebased compensation expenses, one-off compensation for loss of office paid, and fair value losses from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The adjusted net loss is an unaudited figure.

The following table reconciles our adjusted net loss for the years presented to the audited loss measured under IFRS Accounting Standards for the years presented:

The Group’s adjusted net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was approximately RMB2.0 million, representing a decrease of approximately 85.1% as compared to the adjusted net loss of approximately RMB13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was attributable to further reduction in expenses.

We have presented adjusted net loss in this report as we believe that the adjusted net loss is a meaningful supplement to the income statement data because it enables us to measure our profitability without taking into consideration charged to share-based compensation expenses, oneoff compensation for loss of office paid, fair value losses from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. However, adjusted net loss for the year should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net loss or operating loss, or as an alternative to cash flow as a measurement of liquidity. Potential investors should be aware that the adjusted net loss presented in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

Management Discussion and Analysis

As at December 31, 2025, the Group’s principal fund investment was Jikebang Fund. The underlying assets of Jikebang Fund principally comprised equity interests in unlisted companies, which can be broadly disaggregated into pan-entertainment, cloud-based technology and enterprise services, intelligent software and cutting-edge technology. Jikebang Fund primarily focuses on technology-driven preliminary projects, mainly include angel investments, Pre-A series investments and A series investments often by means of holding minority equity interests in its investees. During FY2025, the performance of Jikebang Fund is discussed under “Significant Investments Held at the End of the Reporting Period” below. Jikebang Fund is managed by an independent third-party private equity fund manager. Save as disclosed above, there was no other fund investment in the Group’s portfolio which was material and required separate disclosure.

Investment Policy and Objectives

The Company adopted Investment Management Measures in August 2015 to govern its investment activities (the “ Policy ”). The objectives of the Policy are to support the Group’s strategic development, strengthen investment management, reduce risk and safeguard shareholders’ interests in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and the GEM Listing Rules.

The Policy applies to direct investments (e.g., joint ventures, acquisitions) and indirect investments (e.g., securities, stocks, funds). As the Policy predates cryptocurrencies, the Board has adopted additional policies and safeguards in respect of cryptocurrency investments. In this regard, the Group may invest in cryptocurrencies with leading market capitalisation, sufficient liquidity and a clear long-term value proposition, including but not limited to Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana, as well as Web3 infrastructure projects and other high-quality global equity assets aligned with the Group’s strategic direction. The Group will not invest in projects which, in the Board’s view, involve anonymous teams, elevated compliance and/ or regulatory risks, extremely low liquidity or insufficient transparency and disclosures.

Risk Management and Control Measures

The Company has set an overall cap such that the aggregate size of the Group’s financial investments (including securities, funds and cryptocurrencies) shall not exceed 50% of the Group’s consolidated total assets (the “ Overall Investment Cap ”). For the purpose of the Overall Investment Cap, the Group will measure (i) listed securities and cryptocurrencies by reference to their prevailing market value and (ii) other investments (including unlisted securities and funds) by reference to their fair value as determined in accordance with applicable accounting standards, and will measure total assets by reference to the Group’s consolidated total assets based on the latest available financial information.

Within the Overall Investment Cap, the Group has set a separate cap such that the Group’s cryptocurrency investments shall not exceed 30% of the total assets of the Group (the “ Cryptocurrency Cap ”). For the purpose of the Cryptocurrency Cap, the Group will measure its cryptocurrency holdings by reference to their prevailing market value and total assets by reference to the Group’s consolidated total assets based on the latest available financial information.

These caps are assessed immediately before and after any proposed investment and are subject to ongoing monitoring and periodic reporting to the Board. If either cap is temporarily exceeded solely due to market price fluctuations, the Group will refrain from further investments/ acquisitions unless and until the relevant ratio falls back below the applicable cap, and the Board will consider whether to take appropriate steps (including orderly rebalancing) having regard to market conditions and the Group’s liquidity and risk management considerations. Subject always to compliance with the Overall Investment Cap, to the extent the Cryptocurrency Cap is not fully utilised, the corresponding headroom under the Overall Investment Cap may be deployed into other permitted securities and/or fund investments, subject to the Group’s investment policy, risk management and control measures framework, the multi-level review and approval process (including review by the Group’s risk management function, assessment by the investment and risk management committee and approval by the Board) and ongoing monitoring and reporting arrangements.

Risk is controlled on a case-by-case basis through (i) feasibility studies that include risk identification, sensitivity analysis, and proposed countermeasures for policy, market, operational, liquidity and counterparty risks; and (ii) approval thresholds (investments exceeding US$2,000,000 per transaction or US$10 million cumulatively per project per year require full Board approval). There is also ongoing post-investment monitoring, regular reporting to the Board, annual or biennial project evaluations, and Audit Committee oversight. The Board continually monitors the size and risk profile of the portfolio and will consider formalising quantitative risk limits if financial investments grow materially beyond current levels.

Management Discussion and Analysis

As the Policy predates cryptocurrencies, the Board has adopted additional policies and safeguards in respect of cryptocurrency investments. In respect of counterparty risk, the Group will only transact with reputable trading platforms and custodians which have completed relevant KYB/ KYC procedures and which, in the Group’s assessment, maintain an appropriate standard of operational capability and credibility. In respect of liquidity management, the Group will, where appropriate, prioritise allocations to highly liquid assets and/or cash-like assets so as to maintain prudent liquidity and flexibility. In addition, the Group adopts risk control tools and safeguards, including multi-signature custody arrangements, real-time on-chain monitoring, and a drawdown alert/early-warning mechanism, with a view to strengthening asset protection and enhancing ongoing risk monitoring.

In managing market and downside risks, in addition to the drawdown alert/early-warning mechanism, the Board may also consider taking measures to control the risk of investment in cryptocurrencies, including (where appropriate) setting a maximum drawdown rate of cryptocurrency investment, generating periodic reports on cryptocurrency investment risk for the Board’s review, and updating cryptocurrency investment targets periodically.

Approval, Oversight Mechanisms and Expertise

The Board has established an investment and risk management committee to enhance governance and oversight over the Group’s investment activities, comprising executive directors, independent non-executive directors, and external advisors. Investment proposals are generally first reviewed by the Group’s risk management function, followed by assessment by the investment and risk management committee, and are implemented only upon approval by the Board. Investments exceeding US$2,000,000 per transaction or US$10 million cumulatively per project per year require full Board approval. Quarterly reports on investment performance, risk exposure, and compliance status will be submitted to the Board of Directors, with material changes disclosed to shareholders and potential investors.

The Group has established a dedicated team to support the above investment activities. The core team members have, on average, more than eight years of experience in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. The team adopts a matrix structure and covers key capabilities including investment management, technology R&D, on-chain data analysis, legal and compliance, and financial auditing, thereby supporting the Group’s ongoing monitoring, execution, control and governance requirements.

Therefore, foreign exchange risk primarily arose from recognised assets and liabilities in the Group’s PRC subsidiaries when receiving or to receive foreign currencies from overseas cooperated counterparties. The Group does not hedge against any fluctuation in foreign currency. The Group will closely monitor exchange rate movement and will take appropriate measures to reduce the exchange risk.

DIVIDEND

The Board did not recommend the payment of a final dividend for the year ended December 31, 2025 (for the year ended December 31, 2024: nil).

Corporate Governance Report

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Since February 26, 2023, Mr. Wang Feng has been appointed as the chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company. Pursuant to code provision C.2.1 of the Code, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Despite deviating from code provision C.2.1 of the Code, the Board believes that Mr. Wang, being the chairman of the Board, is familiar with the Company’s business operation and has superior knowledge and experience of the Company’s business, and vesting the roles of both the chairman and the chief executive officer in the same person has the benefit of ensuring consistent leadership with the Company and improving the efficiency of overall strategic planning for the Company. Although the responsibilities of the chairman and the chief executive officer are vested in one person, all major decisions are made in consultation with the Board members and the senior management of the Company. In addition, the Board meets regularly to consider major matters affecting the operations of the Group and all Directors are properly and promptly briefed on such matters with adequate, complete and reliable information. Under the current relatively independent board structure (independent non-executive Directors accounting for 60%), the Board is appropriately structured with balance of power to provide sufficient checks to protect the interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Board will periodically review the effectiveness of this arrangement and consider separating the roles of chairman of the Board and chief executive officer of the Company when it thinks appropriate, for the purpose of complying with the Code and maintaining a high standard of corporate governance practices of the Company.

Corporate Governance Report

BOARD COMMITTEES (continued)

Board Diversity Policy

The Board Diversity Policy was adopted by the Board, took effect on December 29, 2014, and was revised on December 27, 2018. In designing the Board’s composition, Board diversity has been considered from a number of perspectives, including but not limited to gender, race, age, language, cultural and educational background, industry experience, technical and professional skills and/or qualifications, knowledge, length of services and time to be devoted as a director. The Company will also take into account factors relating to its own business model and specific needs from time to time. The ultimate decision will be based on merit and contribution that the selected candidates will bring to the Board.

The Nomination Committee selects Board candidates based on a range of diversity perspectives with reference to the Company’s business model and specific needs, including but not limited to gender, race, age, language, cultural background, educational background, industry experience, technical and professional experience. Due to the update of the Board Diversity Policy and that the Company has met the gender diversity requirements under the Code, the Nomination Committee is considering and discussing the quantitative targets necessary for further optimizing our board diversity, but no quantitative targets or timelines have been formulated as of the date of this report.

As of the date of this report, the Board consisted of five Directors with a male-to-female ratio of 4:1, three of whom are independent nonexecutive Directors, who assist in critical review and monitoring of the management processes. The Board is considered to be rather diverse in terms of the professional background and skills of the Directors, where, one of them has professional financial knowledge; one of them have years of experiences in the gaming industry; one of them have years of experiences in the film and television industry; one of them has professional knowledge in the technology industry; and one of them has professional knowledge in the internet industry. The Company also reviews the Board Diversity Policy on an annual basis. Considering the actual diversity of the members of the Board, the Board considers that the Board Diversity Policy is implemented and effective.

Furthermore, the overall male-to-female ratio of the Group’s employees is 48:30. The Company values diversity among employees, treats employees of different gender, party, religion, nationality and race equally, and fully ensures that employees enjoy equal rights in recruitment, post adjustment, training and promotion. We appreciate and encourage diversity in the workplace and create a professional, inclusive and diversified working environment. The Company has a balanced structure of male and female employees. The Company will continue to maintain gender balance to achieve gender diversity among employees. The Nomination Committee will discuss periodically and when necessary, agree on the measurable objectives for achieving diversity, including gender diversity, on the Board and recommend them to the Board for adoption. In particular, the Nomination Committee will identify and make recommendations to the Board to implement programs that will assist in the development of a broader and more diverse pool of skilled and experienced employees that, in time, will prepare them for Board positions.

Assessment of Directors’ Independence

The Board has arrangements in place for assessing the independence of the Board to ensure that independent views and opinions are available to the Board. Through the independent assessment of the Board, the processes and procedures of the Board and its committees are continuously improved and developed, providing a strong and useful feedback method for improving the effectiveness of the Board, maximizing its strengths and identifying areas for improvement or further development. The purpose of these arrangements is to ensure that the Board has a strong independence to enable the Board to exercise its judgement effectively in order to better protect the interests of shareholders.

The Board and the Nomination Committee have reviewed the composition of the Board, under which shall have no less than three independent non-executive Directors who have all confirmed that they meet the independence requirements of Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules. In addition, the number of independent non-executive Directors as at the date of this report represents more than half of the Board members, and they are able to provide diverse and independent advice to the Board.

Mr. Zhang Xiangdong has served as an independent non-executive Director for more than nine years and the Nomination Committee and the Board have reviewed and assessed their independence pursuant to code provision B.2.3 of the Code. Given that (a) Mr. Zhang Xiangdong does not have any management role in the Company and its subsidiaries; (b) he has clearly demonstrated diligence, willingness to exercise independent judgment and have been giving objective views to the Company; and (c) there is no evidence that length of tenure is having an adverse impact on his independence, the Board is of the opinion that, as well proven by the valuable independent judgement and advice given by Mr. Zhang Xiangdong over the years, he has the required character, integrity, independence and experience to fulfill the role of an independent non-executive Director. The Board is not aware of any circumstances that might influence Mr. Zhang Xiangdong in exercising his independent judgement.

Given the above, the Company considers that all independent non-executive Directors are independent.

Corporate Governance Report

INTERNAL CONTROL

The Board has the overall responsibility for the Group’s internal control system, risks assessment and risks management. To fulfil its responsibility, the Board has set up policies and procedures which provide a framework for the identification and management of risks. The risk management and internal control system are designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The Group’s internal control system includes a well-established organizational structure with clearly defined lines of responsibility and authority. The Board is aware that consolidating risks management into the Company’s annual strategic plan and implementing it at all levels is not a single stand-alone procedure. Each department shall examine and review various risks and report to the senior management on a regular basis. The risk management team will review those risks and formulate effective systems and mechanisms to lower the risks.

Based on the framework of the COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission), the Group has preliminarily established and improved the internal control system. It also clarified that the management is mainly responsible for the design, implementation and supervision of the internal control system, while the Board and the Audit Committee are responsible for supervising the measures adopted by the management and the effectiveness of the implementation of monitoring measures on an on-going basis. The principles for effective internal control of the system are as follows:

  1. Clear definition of The Board is independent of the management and continuously supervises the development and effectiveness of responsibilities: the internal control system. Under the supervision of the Board, the management is responsible for establishing the organizational structure, reporting relationships, designing, implementing and monitoring the risk management and the internal control system.

  2. Risk management: Identify clear objectives, identify and analyse the risks that may arise in meeting the objectives, assess the affordability of the enterprise, consider potential fraudulent practices, and establish and maintain an effective risk management system.

  3. Control measures: Select and formulate effective control measures to reduce the risks that may arise in meeting the objectives to an acceptable level.

  4. Internal audit: Analyse and assess the effectiveness of risk management and internal control system to guarantee the achievement of the Group’s objectives.

  5. Communication: The internal control department promotes the purpose and responsibility of risk management and internal control among the management and employees of the Group.

The Group fully implemented and improved the above principles in 2025. From the perspective of risk management, our internal control department consistently formulated and optimised internal control measures and procedures for the Company, supervised the implementation of such internal control procedures, tested and evaluated such internal control measures on one hand. On the other hand, through performing internal audit which forms a major part of the supervision function, our internal control department could identify and resolve problems proactively and effectively. It was able to oversee the implementation of improved plans continuously, so as to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of internal control.

The Company will perform annual inspection and review on the internal control and risk management system. During the Reporting Period, the internal control department continued to rationalise the key processes of the Group, and supervised the implementation of such system at the same time. During the Reporting Period, the internal control department performed internal audit according to the scope of risk warning, supervision and evaluation, and value-added management, and was able to identify the source and trend of risks timely. It worked with related departments for internal audit of releasing game token, management of vehicles and the related fees, which enhanced the coverage of our audit. The internal control department also proposed to implement enhanced plans to keep raising the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of our auditing work.

INTERNAL CONTROL (continued)

Administrative measures on inside information are also in place to provide guidelines on reporting and disseminating inside information, maintaining confidentiality and complying with dealing restrictions.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, on behalf of the Board, the Audit Committee reviewed the risk management and internal control systems of the Group on an annual basis, and assessed on the resources for accounting, financial reporting and internal audit of the Group to ensure that a sound system is maintained and operated by the management in compliance with the agreed procedures and standards. The review covered all material controls, including financial, operational and compliance controls and risk management functions. The review was made by discussions with the management of the Company, its external and internal auditors and the assessment conducted by the Audit Committee. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Audit Committee reviewed the risk management and internal control systems of the Group and believed that such systems are adequate and effective, especially in the areas of financial reporting and GEM Listing Rules compliance. Save as the incident disclosed in the section headed ”Connected and Continuing Connected Transactions” of the Directors’ Report, during the Reporting Period, no significant events that might have an impact on the shareholders were identified, and resources for accounts, financial reports and internal audit of the Group, as well as qualifications, experience and training programs of our employees and the adequacy of relevant budgets were also evaluated. The Audit Committee has reported their findings to the Board. The Audit Committee will continue to identify, evaluate and manage the significant risks faced by the Group, and to enhance the internal control system of the Group with the assistance of the internal control department on an ongoing basis.

MAJOR RISKS

The Group is exposed to various risks and uncertainties in the course of its operation. The Group may be affected if those risks and uncertainties are not being managed properly. According to the evaluation of the Group, the major risks currently faced by the Group and their mitigating measures are as follows:

  • In 2025, industry competition was still intense. The Group continues to deepen the strategy deployment in the game, film and Web3 business. The game business mainly leverages innovative AI technology and thoroughly integrates it into the full process of game development and operation to keep facilitating digital and intelligent upgrades of its business. We introduced innovative content to ensure the playability and durability of our games, thereby driving the Group’s game business growth. The filming business duly initiated its exploration of AIGC technology application within the film business sector, and at the same time, underwent the selection and incubation of high quality IPs and successfully completed the preliminary groundwork for the implementation of AIGC technology, securing ample resources for future film-comics collaboration and content development, whilst generating new momentum for the sustainable growth of the business. Since the Group established the Web3 business as its strategic focus in 2024, it has continued to invest in Web3 business.

  • Our technology infrastructure may experience unexpected system failures, disruptions, deficiencies, and have security breaches. The Group will examine the stability of the system regularly to mitigate the occurrence of the aforesaid incidents.

  • Game players may sell or purchase in-game virtual credits or virtual items in a manner that violates game policies. We have formulated a game policy against unauthorised and inappropriate behaviour of players. According to our game policy, players are not allowed to sell or transfer virtual credits or virtual items in exchange for real money or other physical property.

  • Both gaming and filming businesses of the Group are affected by domestic policies. Any unfavourable domestic policy on gaming and filming businesses would have an adverse impact on the Group’s operations. The Group will keep abreast of domestic policies from time to time and adjust its development strategy according to such policies in a timely manner. Web3 business requires close attention to international policies to minimize market risks.

2. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

2.1 Statement from the Board

We have established the ESG governance structure to enhance the management on sustainable development. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Group’s materiality issues, performance and regularly evaluating ESG-related risks and opportunities, and assumes full responsibility for the ESG governance and sustainable development of the Group. In order to determine the Group’s ESG management approach, strategies, priorities and targets, the Board authorised the ESG task force (“ ESG Task Force ”) to review the results of previous materiality assessments and evaluate the concerns of various stakeholders to determine whether the material ESG issues identified and assessed in the past are still applicable to the Year.

The operations of the Group are mainly carried out in offices and mainly with rented cloud servers, which do not involve any production process, so the impact on the environment and natural resources is not significant. In order to comply with the carbon neutrality goal of the Hong Kong Government and fulfil its corporate social responsibility commitment, the Group has established ESG-related goals. We have also reviewed the progress of these goals during the Year to improve our efforts on sustainable development.

2.2 ESG Governance Structure

The Group understands the importance of incorporating ESG into its management, strategies, as well as business plans and policies for the sustainable operation of the Group. Therefore, the Group has established the ESG governance structure. The structure consists of three levels, including decision-making, organisational and execution levels, which implements ESG governance from top to bottom and stipulates the roles and responsibilities of each level within the ESG governance structure. The Board represents our decision-making level; the ESG Task Force represents the organisational level; and department representatives represent the executive level. Through close cooperation at all levels, the Group is confident that we can integrate the concept of sustainable development with the overall strategy, policies, daily operations and business of the Group. Below sets forth the Group’s ESG governance structure and the roles and responsibilities at each level within the governance structure:

3. GREEN PRACTICE

The Group strictly complies with relevant laws and regulations, including the “Environmental Protection Law of the PRC” and “Energy Conservation Law of the PRC”. Based on the identification results of the materiality matrix and due to the nature of the Group’s business, environment-related aspects are relatively insignificant. In daily operations, as the Group mainly uses rented cloud servers in offices, the impacts on the environment and natural resources are relatively minimal. Nevertheless, we have actively implemented various environmental protection measures, formulated and required our employees to comply with the Employee Handbook and the Rules for Energy Management in Offices, so as to enhance the awareness of green office among our employees. During the Year, the Group did not have any violations of local environmental laws and regulations regarding exhaust gas and greenhouse gas, discharge of pollutants to water and land, and discharge of hazardous and non-hazardous waste.

During the Year, the Board and the management of the Group have reviewed the targets set last year in relation to environmental aspect and their progress.

3.1 Reduction in Emission

3.1.1 Exhaust gas emissions

The Group’s business is mainly office operation-based, and therefore, we do not have any exhaust emissions related to gaseous fuel consumption. Our exhaust gas emissions mainly come from the gasoline consumed by a vehicle wholly owned by Linekong Interactive. To control the exhaust gas emissions generated from operating activities, we have developed the following emission reduction measures to reduce the impact on the environment, including but not limited to:

  • Encourage our employees to prioritise public transportation and give preference to electric vehicles or low-emission models to phase out high-pollution emission vehicles; and

  • Establish a rigorous system for regular vehicle inspections and maintenance to ensure that all operational vehicles remain in optimal condition, thereby complying with statutory emission standards and effectively avoiding inefficient energy consumption caused by mechanical aging.

During the Year, the Group actively promoted green transportation and adopted online meetings, which effectively reduced the use of vehicles and facilitated the Group in practicing its green development philosophy. A summary of performance is set out in “Appendix I: Summary of Sustainability”.

3.2 Reduction in Waste

The Group continues to improve our solid waste management and encourage the integrated use of waste materials to highlight the emphasis we place on the environmental impact of our operation. As the Group’s business mainly operates in offices, the nonhazardous waste generated by our operations mainly originates from office paper and office garbage.

3.2.1 Hazardous waste

The Group does not generate any direct hazardous waste in the course of its operations. Therefore, the Group has not set any hazardous waste-related targets. The Group has engaged qualified recycler to dispose of obsolete electronic products such as old office computers in a compliant manner to extend the lifespan of the materials. In addition, as the Group uses rental printers, the waste toner cartridges are collected and disposed of by the printer suppliers. If any hazardous waste is generated, the Group will adopt waste disposal measures that comply with government environmental regulations and regulations.

Environmental, Social and Governance Report

3.2.2 Non-hazardous waste

The non-hazardous waste generated by the Group mainly originates from office paper and office garbage. Of this, office garbage is centrally collected and disposed of by the property management company and is therefore excluded from the statistical data. In order to effectively reduce the production of non-hazardous waste, we promote paperless operation, encourage our employees to use papers on both side, and prioritise the use of environmentally friendly and recyclable materials in the procurement of office supplies. Benefited from the aforementioned management measures and the expansion of office space, the Group’s non-hazardous waste generation for the Year decreased compared to 2024, and the density of non-hazardous waste declined significantly, successfully achieved the waste reduction targets set for 2024. The volume of office paper used is set out in “Appendix I: Summary of Sustainability”. Looking forward, the Group will continue to reduce the generation of non-hazardous waste and strive to achieve the goal of reducing non-hazardous waste density by 5% by 2030, using 2025 as the base year.

3.3 Energy Saving

The Group’s energy consumption mainly generates from the direct energy consumption of gasoline used by vehicles and the indirect energy consumption of purchased electricity. The Group is committed to integrating concept of sustainability into its daily operations and actively adopts energy management to improve energy efficiency. The key energy-saving and emissions-reduction measures we have implemented are as follows:

  • Adopting high-efficiency appliances and LED lighting systems in full;

  • Implementing office energy consumption regulations to ensure consumption is based on needs, and assigning dedicated personnel to conduct regular inspections of energy consumption in office areas;

  • Encouraging employees to prioritise public transportation to reduce their carbon footprint; and

  • Optimising the server room by gradually adopting virtual servers and highly efficient servers through the introduction of new model servers with high configuration capability, thereby reducing energy consumption and ensuring stable server operation and information security.

The Group will review the effectiveness of these measures from time to time and make adjustments according to different conditions to achieve the best use of resources. During the Year, as the Group continues to implement low-carbon operational strategies, optimise the frequency of vehicle usage to reduce fuel consumption, and further advance various energy-saving measures, the Group’s energy consumption for the Year decreased, thereby successfully achieved the targets set for 2024. A summary of performance is set out in “Appendix I: Summary of Sustainability”. Looking forward, the Group will continue to reduce energy consumption and strive to achieve the goal of reducing energy consumption intensity by 5% by 2030, using 2025 as the base year.

3.4 Water Conservation

During the Year, the Group has not encountered any issue regarding water supply. Fresh water used in our offices is supplied by local municipal governments, and fresh water is supplied to our offices through public means. As a result, we have difficulties in recording and monitoring water consumption information. We are unable to disclose the relevant information and established our environment targets. Nonetheless, we have adopted water conservation measures, including but not limited to:

  • Placing water conservation slogans in prominent locations of the office area to enhance water conservation awareness among our employees;

  • Adjusting water pressure appropriately to reduce unnecessary wastage while maintaining normal water supply;

  • Establishing a regular inspection mechanism to identify potential leakage by monitoring abnormal water meter readings; and

3.5 Climate Change

3.5.1 Responses to Climate Change

With the adoption of the Paris Agreement by the United Nations, climate change has become an important issue for governments and businesses across the globe. The PRC government is also striving to achieve the targets of “carbon emission peak” by 2030 and “carbon neutrality” by 2060. As such, although the Group’s businesses do not involve production and are not affected by the climate directly, the Group continues to closely monitor the impact of climate change on our business and operation. With reference to the framework of International Financial Reporting Standards S2 Climate-related Disclosure, the Group has assessed and identified climate-related risks and corresponding opportunities that have an impact on the Group’s business, and has incorporated climate risks into the enterprise risk management process based on the assessment results to manage and review climate-related risks and seize related opportunities. The climate-related risks identified by the Group and the corresponding response measures are as follows:

Risk Level Description of Risks Corresponding Measures
Physical Risks
Low Acute risks • Formulate disaster measures
(flooding, super typhoon, storm • Provide disaster response training to employees
surge and extreme rainfall) • Provide escape drill to employees
Chronic risks • Explore the possibility of using renewable energy
(heat wave and sea level rise) • Apply highly efficient equipment
Transition Risks
Medium Policy and regulation risks • Monitor updates on environmental policies regarding climate
change, avoid unnecessary increment in cost and expense
due to violation of environmental policies in relation to
climate change
• Include climate change-related content, such as carbon
emission peak and carbon neutrality in employee training
schemes
Low Reputation risk • Communicate with stakeholders to explain the sustainability
initiatives that the Group has implemented
Market risks • Ongoing focus on sustainable products in the marketplace
and will consider climate-related risks and opportunities
• Review sustainable development initiatives on a regular basis

Although the climate change risks identified by the Group do not have a significant impact on its business, the Group will also review the potential impact of climate change on its business annually and adopt corresponding measures to reduce any potential risks. Regarding the newly introduced requirements in Part D: Climate-related Disclosures of the Stock Exchange’s ESG Reporting Code, the Group has reviewed its existing disclosure capabilities, internal resources, and data maturity. We have determined that, at this stage, we will continue to use our existing climate disclosure framework and have not yet fully integrated the new requirements. Looking forward, the Group will continue to refine its methods for collecting climate-related data, as well as its risk management and scenario analysis capabilities. In accordance with the Stock Exchange’s implementation guidelines and timeline, we aim to progressively enhance the transparency and completeness of relevant information to more fully comply with the Stock Exchange’s climate-related disclosure requirements.

In previous operations, the Company regularly holds a series of internal activities, such as employee birthday parties and festival celebrations, with an aim of strengthening team cohesion and enrich the spare time of employees. However, given the changes in market environment and adjustments of the Company’s strategy, certain activities were not updated as planned due to budget constraints and the lack of professional training staff.

  • (ii) pay, or direct and procure the RSU Trustee to, within a reasonable time, pay, to the 2014 RSU Participant in cash an amount which represents the value of the shares underlying the RSUs exercised on or about the date of exercise (and, if applicable, the cash or non-cash income, dividends or distributions and/or the sale proceeds of non-cash and non-scrip distributions in respect of those shares) less any exercise price (where applicable) and after deduction or withholding of any tax, levies, stamp duty and other charges applicable to the entitlement of the 2014 RSU Participant and the sale of any shares to fund such payment and in relation thereto.

(c) Term and Remaining Life of the 2024 RSU Scheme

The 2024 RSU Scheme will be valid and effective for a period of ten (10) years, commencing from the date of the first grant of the RSUs, being July 12, 2024 until July 11, 2034 (unless it is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms).

(d) Maximum number of Shares pursuant to RSUs

The maximum number of RSUs that may be granted under the 2024 RSU Scheme in aggregate (excluding RSUs that have lapsed or been cancelled in accordance with the rules of the 2024 RSU Scheme) shall be such number of shares held by the Trustee for the purpose of the 2024 RSU Scheme from time to time (excluding treasury shares). As of the date of the Annual Report, the trustee under the 2024 RSU Scheme held a total of 0 Share. The maximum number of RSUs that each participant may be granted under the 2024 RSU Scheme shall not exceed the limits as required under the GEM Listing Rules.

(e) Appointment of the Trustee

The Company may appoint a trustee to assist with the administration and vesting of RSUs granted pursuant to the 2024 RSU Scheme. The Company may (i) direct the trustee to use shares he/she hold that were received or purchased (either on-market or off-market) under the 2024 RSU Scheme to satisfy the RSUs upon exercise, and/or (ii) direct and procure the trustee to receive existing shares from any of the shareholder of the Company or purchase existing shares (either on-market or off-market) to satisfy the RSUs upon exercise. The Company shall procure that sufficient funds are provided to the trustee by whatever means as the Board may in its absolute discretion determine to enable the trustee to satisfy its obligations in connection with the administration of the 2024 RSU Scheme. The trustee holding unvested shares, directly or indirectly, shall abstain from voting on matters that require shareholders’ approval under the GEM Listing Rules, unless otherwise required by law to vote in accordance with the beneficial owner’s direction and such a direction is given. For the avoidance of doubt, the trustee may not use treasury shares of the Company to satisfy the RSUs granted under the 2024 RSU Scheme upon exercise. The Company has appointed Premier Selection Limited as the trustee.

(f) Vesting of RSUs

The Board can determine the vesting criteria, conditions and the time schedule when the RSUs will vest and such criteria, conditions and time schedule shall be stated in the RSU Grant Letter. Within a reasonable period of time after the vesting criteria, conditions and time schedule have been reached, fulfilled, satisfied or waived, the Board will send a vesting notice to each of the relevant eligible participants. The vesting notice will confirm the extent to which the vesting criteria, conditions and time schedule have been reached, fulfilled, satisfied or waived, and the number of Shares (and, if applicable, the cash or non-cash income, dividends or distributions and/or the sale proceeds of non-cash and non-scrip distributions in respect of those Shares) involved.

  • (ii) pay, or direct and arrange the trustee to, within a reasonable time, pay, to the participant in cash an amount which represents the value of the shares underlying the RSUs exercised on or about the date of exercise (and, if applicable, the cash or non-cash income, dividends or distributions and/or the sale proceeds of non-cash and non-scrip distributions in respect of those shares) less any exercise price (where applicable) and after deduction of any tax, levies, stamp duty and other charges applicable to the sale of any shares to fund such payment.

The participant may exercise the vested portion of their RSUs during the 2024 RSU Scheme period and during the validity period of the RSUs after the termination of the 2024 RSU Scheme.

Share Option Scheme

The Company conditionally approved the Share Option Scheme on November 20, 2014 which became effective on December 30, 2014, being the date of Listing. On August 12, 2015, October 9, 2015, June 15, 2016, January 18, 2017, April 1, 2019, August 16, 2019, September 12, 2019, May 17, 2021 and July 12, 2024, 1,849,192, 6,010,000, 1,750,000, 9,225,000, 1,300,000, 860,000, 6,900,000, 3,645,000 and 11,039,249 share options were granted with exercise price of HKD8.10, HKD7.18, HKD4.366, HKD3.10, HKD0.88, HKD0.65, HKD0.72, HKD0.784 and HKD0.335, respectively.

The Share Option Scheme has been expired on December 29, 2024.

The key terms and details of the Share Option Scheme are as follow:

(a) Purpose

The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to incentivise and reward the Eligible Persons (as defined below) for their contribution to the Group and to align their interests with that of the Company so as to encourage them to work towards enhancing the value of the Company.

(b) Who may participate

The Board (including any committee or delegate of the Board appointed by the Board to perform any of its functions pursuant to the rules of the Share Option Scheme) may, at its absolute discretion, offer to grant an option to subscribe for such number of shares as the Board may determine to an employee (whether full-time or part-time) or a Director or a member of the Group or associated companies of the Company or any person who provides or has provided consultancy or other advisory services to the Group (the “ Eligible Persons ”).

Directors’ Report

SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEME, SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND 2025 SHARE SCHEME (continued)

Share Option Scheme (continued)

(c) Maximum number of shares in respect of which options may be granted

The maximum number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes (the “ Other Schemes ”) of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total number of shares in issue as at the date of Listing, which is 36,983,846 shares (the “ Scheme Mandate Limit ”). Options lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme and any Other Schemes of the Company will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit.

As at the date of this report, the number of shares available for issue under the Share Option Scheme (excluding those under share options granted but not yet exercised) amounted to 0 share, representing approximately 0% of the issued Shares.

(d) Maximum entitlement of each individual

No options shall be granted to any Eligible Person under the Share Option Scheme and any Other Schemes of the Company which, if exercised, would result in such Eligible Person becoming entitled to subscribe for such number of shares as, when aggregated with the total number of shares already issued or to be issued to him under all options granted to him (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding options) in the 12-month period up to and including the date of offer of such options, exceeds 1% of the shares in issue at such date.

(e) Acceptance of an offer of options

An offer of options shall be open for acceptance for such period (not exceeding 30 days inclusive of, and from, the date of offer) as the Board may determine and notify the Eligible Person concerned provided that no such offer shall be open for acceptance after the expiry of the duration of the Share Option Scheme. An offer of options not accepted within this period shall lapse. An amount of HKD1.00 is payable upon acceptance of the grant of an option and such payment shall not be refundable and shall not be deemed to be a part payment of the exercise price.

(f) Exercise price

Subject to any adjustment pursuant to the Share Option Scheme, the exercise price shall be such price as determined by the Board and notified to an option-holder and which shall not be less than the higher of:

  • (i) the closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotation sheets on the date of offer of the option;

  • (ii) the average of the closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotation sheets for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of offer of the option; and

  • (iii) the nominal value of the Shares.

Share Option Scheme (continued)

(g) Duration and remaining life of the Share Option Scheme

The Share Option Scheme shall be valid and effective for a period of ten years commencing on the date of Listing (i.e. from December 30, 2014 to December 29, 2024), after which period no further options will be granted but the provisions of the Share Option Scheme shall remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of any options granted prior thereto which are at that time or become thereafter capable of exercise under the Share Option Scheme, or otherwise to the extent as may be required in accordance with the provisions of the Share Option Scheme. The Share Option Scheme has been expired on December 29, 2024.

(h) Time of vesting and exercise of option

Any option shall be vested on an option-holder immediately upon his acceptance of the offer of options provided that if any vesting schedule and/or conditions are specified in the offer of the option, such option shall only be vested on an option-holder according to such vesting schedule and/or upon the fulfillment of the vesting conditions (as the case may be). Any vested option which has not lapsed and which conditions have been satisfied or waived by the Board in its sole discretion may, unless the Board determines otherwise in its absolute discretion, be exercised at any time from the next business day after the offer of options has been accepted. Any option which remain unexercised shall lapse upon the expiry of the option period, which period shall be determined by the Board and shall not exceed ten years from the offer date of the option.

An option shall be subject to such terms and conditions (if any) as may be determined by the Board and specified in the offer of the option, including any vesting schedule and/or conditions, any minimum period for which any option must be held before it can be exercised and/ or any performance target which need to be achieved by an option-holder before the option can be exercised. Such terms and conditions determined by the Board must not be contrary to the purpose of the Share Option Scheme and must be consistent with such guidelines (if any) as may be approved from time to time by the Shareholders. If an option-holder is transferred to work in the PRC or another country and still continues to hold a salaried office or employment under a contract with a member of our Group or associated companies of our Company, and as a result of that transfer, he either (i) suffers a tax disadvantage in relation to his options (this being shown to the satisfaction of the Board); or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on his ability to exercise his Options or to hold or deal in the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of the Shares acquired on exercise because of the security laws or exchange control laws of the PRC or the country to which he is transferred, then the Board may allow him to exercise his options, vested or unvested, during the period starting three months before and ending three months after the transfer takes place.

No option may be exercised in circumstances where such exercise would, in the opinion of the Board, be in breach of a statutory or regulatory requirement.

Independent auditor’s report to the shareholders of Linekong Interactive Group Co., Ltd.

(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Linekong Interactive Group Co., Ltd. (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “ Group ”) set out on pages 107 to 179, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“ IASB ”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“ HKSAs ”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “ Code ”) as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest entities. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independent Auditor’s Report (Continued)

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters identified in our audit are summarised as follows:

  • Accounting estimation involved in revenue recognition for sales of in-game virtual items

  • Valuation of level 3 financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Accounting estimation involved in revenue recognition for sales of in-game virtual items

Refer to Note 2.20(i), Note 4.1(a) and Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group has generated revenue from sales of in-game virtual items of RMB30.9 million. The recognition of the revenue generated from sales of in-game virtual items involved the estimation of the lives of in-game permanent ownership items (“ Player Relationship Period ”).

Our procedures in relation to the estimation of the Player Relationship Period used when recognising revenue from the sales of in-game virtual items included:

  • We obtained an understanding of and assessed the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of management's key internal controls in relation to revenue recognition for sales of ingame virtual items.

Management has estimated the Player Relationship Period on a gameby-game basis for the purpose of revenue recognition.

We focused on this area because of the inherent uncertainties and subjectivities involved in the estimation of the Player Relationship Period, which could impact the amount of the revenue recognised in the current period in relation to the sales of in-game virtual items.

  • We assessed the appropriateness of the methodologies and assumptions used in the estimation of the Player Relationship Period by checking the mathematical formula as well as comparing them with historical data.

  • We tested with the involvement of our information technology risk management specialist to assess the completeness and accuracy of key inputs such as log-in records for the calculation of Player Relationship Period.

  • On a sample basis, we compared the key inputs used in the estimation, including the quantity of paying players of games and their log-in records, with the original data directly extracted from the game servers.

  • On a sample basis, we recalculated the related Player Relationship Periods, and compared the results with the Player Relationship Periods of these games estimated by management.

We therefore focused on this area.

  • We evaluated management’s future cash flow forecasts by comparing the input data used in the cash flow forecasts against the historical figures, the approved budgets and the business plans.

  • We assessed the reasonableness of the key assumptions including revenue growth rates, discount for lack of marketability and volatility in the cash flow forecasts by comparing them to historical results and industry performances.

  • We assessed the reasonableness of the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements in respect of level 3 financial assets at fair value through profit or loss with reference to the requirements of the prevailing accounting standards.

Other information

The directors are responsible for other information. The other information comprises all the information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

2025 Annual Report | Linekong Interactive Group Co., Ltd.

Independent Auditor’s Report (Continued)

Responsibilities of directors and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

The directors are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. This report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Independent Auditor’s Report (Continued)

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements (Continued)

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement director on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Chan Sai Ho.

The conversion of RMB into foreign currencies is subject to the rules and regulations of foreign exchange control promulgated by the PRC government. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, other than the restrictions from exchange control regulations, there is no significant restriction on the Group’s ability to access or use the assets and settle the liabilities of the Group.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in RMB, unless otherwise stated, and have been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 27, 2026.

All companies comprising the Group have adopted December 31 as their financial year-end date.

2 Material accounting policy information

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“ IASB ”) and the disclosure requirements of Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and an associate measured at fair value through profit or loss which are carried at fair value.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4 below.

IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” (“ IFRS 18 ”)

IFRS 18 sets out requirements on presentation and disclosures in financial statements and will replace IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” (“ IAS 1 ”) and this new IFRS Accounting Standard, while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1, introduces new requirements to present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss; provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures in the notes to the financial statements and improve aggregation and disaggregation of information to be disclosed in the financial statements. In addition, some IAS 1 paragraphs have been moved to IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” and IFRS 7. Minor amendments to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows” and IAS 33 “Earnings per Share” are also made.

IFRS 18, and amendments to other standards, will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early application permitted. The application of the new standard is expected to affect the presentation of the statement of profit or loss and disclosures in the future financial statements. The Group is in the process of assessing the detailed impact of IFRS 18 on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

2.2 Consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group 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.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains/losses on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein, which represent present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate share of net assets of the relevant subsidiaries upon liquidation.

(i) Subsidiaries arising from Reorganisation

On March 30, 2007, Linekong Online (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. (“ Linekong Online ”) was established to carry out the Group’s Game Business in the PRC. Several domestic operating companies have been established by Linekong Online as its subsidiaries since 2007 and these operating companies together with Linekong Online are collectively defined as the “PRC Operational Entities”. The Group’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Linekong Online (Beijing) Internet Technology Co., Ltd. (“ Beijing Linekong Online ”), has entered into a series of contractual agreements (the “ Contractual Agreements ”) with Linekong Online and its equity holders on April 22, 2008, which enable Beijing Linekong Online and the Group to:

  • exercise effective financial and operational control over Linekong Online;

  • exercise equity holders’ voting rights of Linekong Online;

  • receive substantially all of the economic interest returns generated by Linekong Online in consideration for the business support, technical and consulting services provided by Beijing Linekong Online;

  • obtain an irrevocable and exclusive right to purchase all or part of the equity interests in Linekong Online from the respective equity holders at a minimum purchase price permitted under PRC laws and regulations, and all or part of the assets of Linekong Online at the net book value of such assets or such minimum purchase price permitted under PRC laws and regulations. Beijing Linekong Online may exercise such options at any time until it has acquired all equity interests and/or all assets of Linekong Online;

  • obtain a pledge over the entire equity interest of Linekong Online from its respective equity holders as collateral security for all of Linekong Online’s payments due to Beijing Linekong Online and to secure performance of Linekong Online’s obligation under the Contractual Arrangements.

2.2 Consolidation (Continued)

(a) Subsidiaries (Continued)

  • (i) Subsidiaries arising from Reorganisation (Continued)

The Group does not have any equity interest in Linekong Online. However, as a result of the Contractual Arrangements, the Group has rights to receive variable returns from its involvement with Linekong Online and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over Linekong Online and is considered to control Linekong Online. Consequently, the Company regards Linekong Online as an indirect subsidiary under IFRS Accounting Standards. The Group has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Linekong Online in the consolidated financial statements of the Group during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Nevertheless, the Contractual Arrangements may not be as effective as direct legal ownership in providing the Group with direct control over Linekong Online and uncertainties presented by the PRC legal system could impede the Group’s beneficiary rights of the results, assets and liabilities of Linekong Online. The directors of the Company, based on the advice of its legal counsel, consider that the Contractual Arrangements among Beijing Linekong Online, Linekong Online and its equity holders are in compliance with the relevant PRC laws and regulations and are legally binding and enforceable.

(ii) Business combinations

The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business, and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill (Note 2.8(c)). If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financer under comparable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or as a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.

2.2 Consolidation (Continued)

(b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions — that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received in recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of the Company.

2.3 Separate financial statements

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable.

Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.

2.4 Associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. This is generally the case where the Group holds 20% and 50% of the voting rights.

(a) Equity method of accounting

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividend received or receivable from associate is recognised as a reduction in carrying amount of the investment.

Where the Group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Account policies of equity-accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to “share of profit of investment accounted using equity method” in profit or loss.

(b) Fair value through profit or loss

The Group has invested as a limited partner in a private equity fund and exerted significant influence. The Group has applied the measurement exemption within IAS 28 “Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures” for mutual funds, unit trusts and similar entities and such an investment is measured at fair value through profit or loss and presented as “an associate measured at fair value through profit or loss” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

2 Material accounting policy information (Continued)

2.5 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “ CODM ”). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive directors that make strategic decisions.

2.6 Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “ functional currency ”). The functional currency of the Company is United States dollars (“ USD ”). The Company’s primary subsidiaries were incorporated in the PRC and these subsidiaries consider RMB as their functional currency. The consolidated financial statements are presented in RMB (unless otherwise stated), which is the Group’s presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to cash and cash equivalents are presented in profit or loss within “finance income — net”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within “other operating income — net”.

Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss.

(c) Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that consolidated statement of financial position;

  • income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

  • all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income as currency translation differences.

2.7 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other costs, such as repairs and maintenance, are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 2.10).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognised within “Other operating income — net” in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

2.8 Intangible assets

(a) Computer software

Computer software is initially recognised and measured at cost less amortisation. Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software and are amortised over their estimated useful lives of five years.

(b) Trademarks and licences

Separately acquired trademarks and licences are shown at historical cost. Trademarks and licences have a finite useful life and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademarks and licences over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 7 years, respectively.

Licences subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For the licenses related to game in operation, the impairment losses are recognised as cost of revenue. For the licenses related to game in development, the impairment losses are recognised as administrative expenses.

(c) Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of businesses and represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the Group’s interest in net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree and the non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in investments in associates.

Goodwill is not amortised, but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (“ CGUs ”) for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which goodwill arose. The units or groups of units are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

2 Material accounting policy information (Continued)

2.8 Intangible assets (Continued)

(d) Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrencies, that are purchased and held by the Group through third-party custodian service provider, are accounted for as intangible assets under the cost model. The Group has ownership of and control over the cryptocurrencies held and employs third-party custodian service provider to securely store them. The cryptocurrencies held by the Group are considered to have an indefinite life. Accordingly, they are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

2.9 Film rights and films in progress

(a) Film rights

Film rights represent films (including online dramas) produced by the Group. Film rights are stated at cost less any provision for impairment losses. Costs of film rights are expensed in profit or loss over their respective useful economic life, or upon the delivery of related master tapes.

(b) Films in progress

Films in progress developed for self-developed film rights (including online dramas) are stated at cost less any provision for impairment losses. Costs include all direct costs associated with the production of films. Costs of films are transferred to film rights upon completion.

(c) Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, both internal and external market information are considered in order to assess whether there is any indication that film rights and films in progress are impaired. If any such indication exists, the carrying amount of such assets is assessed and, where relevant, an impairment loss is recognised to reduce the asset to its recoverable amount. Such impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

2.10 Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (CGUs). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

2.11 Investment and financial assets

(i) Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

  • those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income (“ OCI ”), or through profit or loss), and

  • those to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will be recorded either in profit or loss or in OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to subsequent changes in fair value in OCI.

The Group reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

(ii) Recognition and derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

(iii) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (“ FVPL ”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.

(a) Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Group classifies its debt instruments at amortised cost.

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income — net using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other losses — net, together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

(b) Equity instruments

The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other losses — net in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as applicable.

2.11 Investment and financial assets (Continued)

(iv) Impairments

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses (“ ECL ”) associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

2.12 Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components, in which case they are recognised at fair value. The Group holds the trade and other receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. See Notes 2.11(i) and 2.11(iii) for further information about the Group’s accounting for trade and other receivables and Note 2.11 (iv) for a description of the Group’s impairment policies.

2.13 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents.

2.14 Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Where any group company purchases the Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs, is deducted from equity attributable to the owners of the Company until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received (net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs) is included in equity attributable to the owners of the Company.

2.15 Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities, unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period.

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

123

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

2 Material accounting policy information (Continued)

2.16 Provisions

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle that obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the entity. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

2.17 Current and deferred income tax

The income tax expense for the period is the changes in deferred tax assets attributable to temporary differences. Income tax expenses are recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that the expenses relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the income tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(a) Current income tax

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the jurisdictions where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation, and it considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Group measures its tax balance based on the most likely amount of the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.

(b) Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised, or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred income tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

(c) Offsetting

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and where the deferred income tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to relies the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2.18 Employee benefits

The Group contributes based on certain percentage of the salaries of the employees to a defined contribution retirement benefit plan organised by relevant government authorities. The government authorities undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations payable to all existing and future retired employees under such plan and the Group has no further obligation for post-retirement benefits beyond the contributions made. Contributions to the plans are expensed as incurred and not reduced by contributions forfeited by those employees who leave the plans prior to vesting fully in the contributions. Assets of the plans are held and managed by government authorities and are separate from those of the Group.

2.19 Share-based payments

(a) Equity-settled share-based payment transactions

The Group receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries. The fair value of the services received in exchange for the grant of the shares, restricted share units (“ RSUs ”) and options is recognised as expenses.

In respect of shares, RSUs and options awarded to employees, the total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares, RSUs and options granted:

  • including the impact of any market performance vesting conditions;

  • excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions; and

  • including the impact of any non-vesting conditions.

Non-market performance and service vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of shares, RSUs and options that are expected to vest. The total expenses are recognised over the vesting period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of shares, RSUs and options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing performance and service conditions. The Group recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

In addition, in some circumstances employees may provide services in advance of the grant date and therefore the grant date fair value is estimated for the purposes of recognising the expenses during the period between service commencement period and grant date.

When the options are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (and share premium).

(b) Share-based payment transactions among group entities

The grant by the Company of its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiaries in the Group is treated as a capital contribution. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investments in subsidiaries, with a corresponding credit to equity in the separate financial statements of the Company.

2.20 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the transaction price which is the amount of consideration to which the Group is entitled in exchange for transferring promised services or goods to the customer. The Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling prices. Revenue for each performance obligation is then recognised when the Group satisfies the performance obligation by transferring the promised goods or services to the customer.

(i) Revenue generated from sales of in-game virtual items

The Group engages in the development and operation of online games and receives proceeds from sales of in-game virtual credits (“ Game Credits ”) to the game players. The Group publishes its self-developed games as well as games licensed from third-party developers through game distribution channels.

The Group’s games are free to play. Players can purchase Game Credits and then convert such Game Credits into various in-game virtual items for a better in-game experience. The Group’s paying players (“ Paying Players ”) purchase the Game Credits either directly through the game distribution channels’ own charging systems or third-party payment collection channels, or through purchasing prepaid game cards from third-party pre-paid game card distributors. Pursuant to agreements with the Group, game distribution channels, third party payment collection channels and third-party pre-paid game card distributors collect the payments from the Paying Players and remit the cash to the Group, net of channel service charges or distribution discounts.

Principal agent consideration

The Group operates both its self-developed games and licensed games and takes primary responsibility for the delivery of game experiences to the Paying Players, including marketing and promotion, determining distribution and payment channels, hosting game servers and providing customer services. In addition, the Group also controls game and service specifications and pricing of the in-game virtual items. Therefore, the Group considers itself the principal in the delivery of the game experience to the Paying Players as the Group has the primary responsibility in the arrangement and latitude in establishing the selling prices and thus records revenue on a gross basis. Payments to third-party game developers and channel service charges by game distribution channels and third-party payment collection channels are recorded as cost of revenue. The discounts given to the Paying Players by the third-party game distribution channels and third-party prepaid game card distributors are estimated by the Group based on available information and recorded as a deduction of revenue.

Recognition of revenue generated from sales of in game virtual items

Upon the sales of Game Credits, the Group typically has an implied performance obligation to provide services which enable the in-game virtual items exchanged from the Game Credits to be displayed or used in the games. Game Credits are consumed by Paying Players to exchange for in-game virtual items, i.e. consumable items or permanent ownership items. Revenue is immediately recognised when the consumable items are consumed or expired, or ratably recognised during their life periods for the permanent ownership items. The Group considers player behaviour patterns in estimating the lives of permanent ownership items (“ Player Relationship Period ”), which is the average period between the first date the Paying Players charge their accounts and the last date these Paying Payers would play the game, and it represents the Group’s best estimate for the lives of the in-game permanent ownership items purchased by the Paying Players.

The Group estimates the Player Relationship Period on a game-by-game basis and re-assesses such periods quarterly or semi-annually. If there is insufficient data to determine the Player Relationship Period, such as in the case of a newly launched game, it estimates the Player Relationship Period based on other games with similar characteristics developed by the Group or by third-party developers until the new game establishes its own patterns and history. The Group considers the games profile and target audience when estimating the Player Relationship Period.

If the Group does not have the ability to differentiate between revenue attributable to permanent ownership virtual items and consumable virtual items for a specific game, the Group recognises revenue from both permanent ownership and consumable virtual items for that game ratably over the game’s Player Relationship Period.

2.20 Revenue recognition (Continued)

(ii) Revenue generated from licensing and technical support fees

The Group derives revenue from licensing of games to third-party publishers. Depending on the nature of the license, the revenue is recognised over the licensing period or at a point of time. The Group also provides continuing technical support to the third-party publishers for the games licensed. Revenue is recognised when service is transferred to customers and such performance obligation is satisfied.

(iii) Revenue generated from the licensing of film rights

The Group licenses self-developed film rights (including online dramas) to third-party publishers. Since the licensee can direct the use of and get substantially all of the remaining benefits from the licence granted, revenue from the licensing of film rights is recognised upon the delivery of the master tapes to the licensee.

(iv) Revenue generated from the production of films

The Group is also engaged to produce film rights (including online dramas) for specific customers and retains no right to the film rights during the production process and after completion. The Group concludes that it does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and it has a right to payment for performance completed to date that includes compensation for a reasonable profit margin. Therefore, revenue is recognised over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.

(v) Revenue generated from provision of promotion services

The Group provides digital content promotion services to online drama platform. The revenue is recognised over time in which the services are rendered to or consumed by the customer simultaneously.

Contract assets and contract liabilities

If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to customer before being unconditionally entitled to the consideration under the contract terms, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional. On the contrary, the excess of any cumulative consideration received from the contracted customer over the cumulative revenue recognised is recognised as a contract liability recorded in deferred revenue. The contract asset and the contract liability are classified as current and non-current portions based on their respective recovery or settlement periods.

2.21 Interest income

Interest income mainly represents interest income from bank deposits and loans and is recognised using the effective interest method.

2.22 Government grants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.

2.23 Leases

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group.

2.23 Leases (Continued)

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable,

  • variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date,

  • amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees,

  • the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and

  • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. Lease payments on short-term leases are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis or another systematic basis over the lease term.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;

  • any initial direct costs; and

  • restoration costs.

The right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

3 Financial risk management

3.1 Financial risk factors

The Group is subject to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, concentration risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management strategy seeks to minimise the potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. Risk management is carried out by the senior management of the Group and approved by the Board of Directors.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group mainly operates in the PRC and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to USD. Therefore, foreign exchange risk primarily arose from recognised assets in the Group’s PRC subsidiaries when receiving or to receive foreign currencies from overseas cooperated counterparties. For the Group’s PRC subsidiaries whose functional currency is RMB, if USD had strengthened/weakened by 5% against RMB with all other variables held constant, the post-tax loss would have been approximately RMB137,000 lower/higher for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024: RMB53,000), as a result of net foreign exchange gains/ losses on translation of net monetary assets denominated in USD. The Group does not hedge against any fluctuation in foreign currency.

Most of the transactions of the Company are denominated and settled in its functional currency, USD. The Company’s foreign exchange risk primarily arose from the cash and cash equivalents and other receivables denominated in RMB. If RMB had strengthened/weakened by 5% against USD with all other variables held constant, the post-tax loss would have been approximately RMB783,000 lower/higher for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024: RMB879,000), as a result of net foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of cash and cash equivalents denominated in RMB.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Other than interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents and lease liabilities, the Group has no other significant interest-bearing assets or liabilities. The directors of the Company do not anticipate there is any significant impact to interest-bearing assets and liabilities resulted from the changes in interest rates, because the interest rates of balances is not expected to change significantly.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

3.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)

(a) Market risk (Continued)

(iii) Price risk

The Group is exposed to price risk arising from investments held by the Group that are classified on the consolidated statement of financial position as at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk.

To manage its price risk arising from the investments, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Each investment is managed by senior management on a case-by-case basis.

The Group’s financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and an associate measured at fair value through profit or loss are not held for trading and had not been elected to present fair value gains and losses in OCI. The sensitivity analysis is determined based on the exposure to price risk of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and an associate measured at fair value through profit or loss at the end of the reporting period. If the fair values of the respective instruments held by the Group had been 5% higher/lower, the post-tax loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 would have been approximately RMB1,963,000 (2024: RMB2,822,000) lower/higher.

(b) Credit risk

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash placed with banks and financial institutions, trade receivables, contract assets and other receivables (including loans) included in the consolidated financial statements represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. The objective of the Group’s measures to manage credit risk is to control potential exposure to recoverability problem.

(i) Risk management

To manage risk of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, these assets are mainly placed with reputable financial institutions. There has been no recent history of default in relation to these financial institutions.

For trade receivables, a significant portion of trade receivables at the end of each reporting period was due from those game distribution channels and film publishers in cooperation with the Group. If the strategic relationship with game distribution channels and film publishers is terminated or scaled-back; or if the co-operative arrangements with the game distribution channels and film publishers are altered; or if they experience financial difficulties in paying the Group, the Group’s trade receivables might be adversely affected in terms of recoverability. To manage this risk, the Group maintains frequent communications with the game distribution channels and film publishers to ensure the effective credit control.

For other receivables, the Group makes periodic collective assessments as well as individual assessment on the recoverability of other receivables based on historical settlement records, past experience and forward-looking information.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group purchased and held cryptocurrencies through a licensed custodian agent (the “ Custodian Agent ”). Any regularly way purchase or sale of cryptocurrencies would be done through the Custodian Agent and the Group would be exposed to credit risk for deposits made for purchase or receivables from sale of cryptocurrencies. The Group has regularly reviewed and monitored the credit risk of the Custodian Agent. In this regard, the management considered that the Group’s credit risk on the Custodian Agent is significantly reduced.

3.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)

(b) Credit risk (Continued)

(ii) Impairment of financial assets

The Group has following major types of financial assets, which are subject to IFRS 9’s expected credit loss model:

  • trade receivables;

  • contract assets; and

  • other receivables.

While cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.

Trade receivables and contract assets

The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring ECL which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.

To measure the ECL, trade receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same types of contracts. The Group has therefore concluded that the expected loss rate for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rate for the contract assets.

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 months before the reporting date and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Group has identified the GDP of the countries in which it sells its goods and services to be the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors.

On that basis, the loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was determined as follows:

Other receivables

Impairment on other receivables is measured as either 12-month ECL or lifetime ECL, depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Group compares the risk of default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition by considering available, reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information.

Other receivables (Continued)

The Group uses three categories for other receivables which reflect their credit risk and how the loss allowance is determined for each of those categories. A summary of the assumptions underpinning the Group’s ECL model is as follows:

Basis for recognition of
Category Group definition of category ECL allowance
Stage 1 Credit risk is in line with original expectations. 12 month expected losses
Stage 2 A significant increase in credit risk has occurred Lifetime expected losses
compared to original expectations. A
significant increase in credit risk is presumed if
contractual repayments are 30 days past due.
Stage 3 (Credit-impaired) Contractual repayments are 60 days past due or Lifetime expected losses

Trade receivables, contract assets and other receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group.

Increase in loss allowance of receivables is presented as “net impairment losses on trade and other receivables and contract assets”. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.

(c) Concentration risk

For the Group’s Game Business, there was no customer contributing over 10% of the total revenues of the Group from license fee and technical support fee for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Group has a large number of game players, no revenue from any individual game player exceeded 10% or more of the Group’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. For the Group’s Film Business, there was a customer whose revenues individually represent greater than 10% of the total revenues of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

3.2 Capital management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain optimal capital structure to enhance shareholders’ value in the long term.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or repurchase the Company’s shares.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the net cash/debt to equity ratio. This ratio is calculated as cash and liquid investments less gross debt, divided by total equity. The Group aims to maintain its net debt to equity ratio. The net cash/debt to equity ratios for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

3.3 Fair value estimation

(i) Fair value hierarchy

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

  • quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).

  • inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).

  • inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The Group did not have any financial liabilities that were measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

(ii) Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is determined based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required for evaluating the fair value of a financial instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

The Group has a team that manages the valuation of level 3 instruments for financial reporting purposes. The team manages the valuation of the investments on a case by case basis. At least once a year, the team would use valuation techniques to determine the fair value of the Group’s level 3 instruments. External valuation experts will be involved when necessary.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

  • quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments;

  • discounted cash flow model and unobservable inputs mainly including assumptions of expected future cash flows and discount rate; and

  • a combination of observable inputs and unobservable inputs, including discount rate, risk-free interest rate and expected volatility.

The fair value of the investment in associate is primarily based on the Group’s attributable portion of the reported net asset value (“ NAV ”) of the associate. The NAV was derived from the fair value of the underlying investments (most of total assets of the associate represented financial assets measured at fair value) at the same measurement date as that used by the Group. The Group understands and assesses the valuations provided by the general partner of the associate and made necessary adjustments as a result of the assessment. The associate measured at FVPL is included in level 3.

If the adjusted NAV increased/decreased by 5% as of December 31, 2025, the fair value as of December 31, 2025 would increase/decrease by RMB1,017,000 (2024: RMB1,082,000).

4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that might have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group makes judgements, estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

(a) Estimates of the Player Relationship Period

As described in Note 2.20(i), the Group recognises revenue from permanent ownership virtual items ratably over the Player Relationship Period. The determination of the Player Relationship Period in each game is based on the Group’s best estimate that takes into account all known and relevant information at the time of assessment. Such estimates are subject to re-evaluation on a semi-annual or quarterly basis. Any adjustments arising from changes in the Player Relationship Period as a result of updated information will be accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.

4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (Continued)

(b) Fair value of Level 3 financial assets

As mentioned in Note 3.3, the fair value of Level 3 financial assets that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. The Group has used discounted cash flow and NAV approach for various financial assets measured at FVPL that are not traded in active markets.

(c) Recoverable amount of film rights and films in progress

The Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets at the end of each reporting period in accordance with the accounting policies stated in Note 2.9. In determining whether impairment indicator exists and the recoverable amount of film rights and films in progress, the Group makes assessment on a film-by-film basis and takes into consideration both internal and external market information, for example, the production schedule of the online drama, the sales forecasts, the production budget and the general economic condition of the relevant markets.

Based on management’s assessments on the recoverability of film rights and films in progress (Note 19), no impairment (2024: impairment of RMB1,810,000) on film rights and films in progress was recognised for the year ended December 31, 2025.

4.2 Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

(a) Revenue recognition of certain games

As mentioned in Note 2.20(i), revenue is immediately recognised when the consumable items are consumed or expired, or ratably recognised during their life periods for the permanent ownership items. In the case that the Group does not possess relevant data and information to differentiate between revenues attributable to permanent ownership and consumable virtual items of a specific game, revenues from both the permanent ownership and consumable virtual items are deferred and recognised ratably over the expected Player Relationship Period of the specific game.

(b) Accounting for cryptocurrencies

IFRS Accounting Standards do not specifically address accounting for cryptocurrencies. Accordingly, for the financial reporting purposes, management needs to apply judgement in determining appropriate accounting policies based on the facts and circumstances of the Group’s acquisition and holding of cryptocurrencies.

Given the Group’s purpose for holding cryptocurrencies, management considered that cryptocurrencies purchased and held by the Group should be accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets under the cost model.

As disclosed in Note 18, in determining fair values used for impairment tests, management needs to apply judgement to identify the relevant available markets for trading of cryptocurrencies, and to consider accessibility to and activity within those markets in order to identify the principal cryptocurrency markets to ascertain the respective fair market values.

5 Revenue and segment information

The CODM of the Group, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive directors that make strategic decisions.

The Group separately manages the production and operation of each segment and evaluates their operating results respectively, in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to these segments and to assess their performance.

The Group identifies two operations segments as follows:

  • Game Business, which is primarily engaged in developing and publishing online games in the PRC and other countries and regions;

  • Film Business, which is primarily engaged in licensing self-developed online dramas rights to third-party publishers and producing online drama rights for specific customers in the PRC.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies described in Note 2. Segment loss represents the loss from each segment without allocation of unallocated corporate expenses, gains on disposal of intangible assets, other losses-net, finance income-net and share of profit of investment accounted for using equity method. The CODM assesses the performance of the operating segments based on the operating loss of each reporting segments.

(c) PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”)

Based on the existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof, the income tax provision of the Group in respect of operations in the PRC has been calculated at the tax rate of 25% on the estimated assessable profits for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, except for certain subsidiaries which are subject to preferential income tax rates set out as follows:

  • Horgos Linekong Pictures Corporation (“ Horgos Pictures ”) was entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 12.5% in 2025 and 2024 under the relevant PRC tax rules and regulations.

  • Linekong Online was qualified as “High and New Technology Enterprises” and entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 15% in 2025 and 2024.

  • Horgos Chenxi Entertainment and Media Co., Ltd. (“ Horgos Chenxi ”), Horgos Linekong Pictures Culture Co., Ltd (“ Horgos Pictures Culture ”) and Horgos Juying Shiguang Pictures Culture Co. (“ Horgos Juying Shiguang ”) were exempted from income taxes for entities established in the Horgos special economic areas under the relevant PRC tax rules and regulations in 2024.

  • Horgos Chenxi, Horgos Pictures Culture, Horgos Juying Shiguang and Linekong Interactive Entertainment Film (Beijing) Co., Limited were qualified as a "Small Low-profit Enterprise" and were subject to EIT on 25% of its taxable income at a tax rate of 20% in 2025.

According to a policy promulgated by the State Tax Bureau of the PRC, enterprises engaged in research and development activities are entitled to claim 200% (2024: 200%) of the research and development expenses incurred as tax deductible expenses in determining tax assessable profits (“ Super Deduction ”) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Several PRC subsidiaries of the Group have claimed such Super Deductions in ascertaining their tax assessable profits/(losses) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

(d) PRC withholding Tax (“WHT”)

According to the applicable PRC tax regulations, dividends distributed by a company established in the PRC to a foreign investor with respect to profits derived after January 1, 2008 are generally subject to 10% WHT. If a foreign investor incorporated in Hong Kong meets the conditions and requirements under the double taxation treaty arrangement entered into between the PRC and Hong Kong, the relevant WHT rate is reduced from 10% to 5%.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the PRC Operational Entities did not have available undistributed profits to be remitted to the Company.

  • (i) the loss of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company of the year;

  • (ii) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for excluding shares held for the RSU scheme.

(b) Diluted

Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had two categories of potential ordinary shares, i.e. RSUs and share options granted to eligible persons. As the Group incurred a loss for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the potential ordinary shares were not included in the calculation of dilutive loss per share where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are the same as basic loss per share of the years.

Impairment

Trademarks and licenses

Trademarks and licenses subjected to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

In 2025 and 2024, no further impairment charge was considered necessary for trademarks and licenses.

Computer software

Computer software subjected to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

In 2025 and 2024, no further impairment charge was considered necessary for computer software.

Cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies purchased and held by the Group have been assessed based on each type of cryptocurrencies for impairment testing. The Group carries out impairment testing by comparing the recoverable amounts of cryptocurrencies to their carrying amounts. An impairment loss will be recognised when the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, while a gain will not be recognised even when the recoverable amount is higher than the carrying amount. A gain will only be recognised if the cryptocurrency is disposed of, assuming the proceeds from disposal at that time is higher than its carrying amount.

The recoverable amount of each type of cryptocurrencies are determined based on fair value less costs of disposal. In determining the fair values, the relevant available markets are identified by the Group, and the Group consider accessibility to, and activity within those markets in order to identify the principal cryptocurrency markets for the Group. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group purchased approximately USD12,975,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB92,627,000) of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. The fair value of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana traded in active markets (such as trading and exchange platforms) is determined based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. Therefore, the fair value used for assessment of recoverable amount in impairment test is determined as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for Bitcoin (level 1), Ethereum (level 1) and Solana (level 1).

As of December 31, 2025, the Group carried out impairment tests for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. Based on the results of the impairment tests, the recoverable amount of Bitcoin was approximately RMB73,761,000 (2024: RMB67,980,000), which exceeded its carrying amount. The recoverable amounts of Ethereum and Solana were approximately RMB11,920,000 (2024: RMB19,686,000) and RMB6,800,000 (2024: Nil), respectively, which were lower than their carrying amounts. Accordingly, impairment loss on Ethereum and Solana totalling RMB1,685,000 (2024: RMB1,167,000) was recognised in profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In 2025 and 2024, production plans of certain online dramas were rescheduled or cancelled. For online dramas whose production plans were rescheduled, the expected income generated from certain film rights is not expected to cover the future marketing expense and production costs. For those online dramas whose production plans were cancelled, the film rights were fully impaired. No impairment loss (2024: impairment loss of RMB1,810,000) was recognised based on the results of the impairment test during the year.

The key assumptions used in the valuation of the share options as of the grant dates are set out in the table below:

January 18, 2017 April 1, 2019 August 16, 2019 April 1, 2019 August 16, 2019 May 17, 2021 July 12, 2024

The Group estimates the expected yearly percentage of RSU and option grantees that will stay within the Group at the end of the vesting periods (the “ Expected Retention Rate ”) in order to determine the amount of share-based compensation expenses to be recorded in profit or loss. As of December 31, 2025, the Expected Retention Rate of employees was assessed to be 62% (2024: 62%) and the Expected Retention Rate of existing directors and senior management was assessed to be 100% (2024: 100%).

(a) Contract assets

Contract assets
As of December 31,

RMB’000 RMB’000
Current
— Production of films 5,063

The contract assets have the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables, which are subject to the same ECL assessment as trade receivables.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the reversal of loss allowance for contract assets of approximately RMB6,000 (2024: RMB1,000) was recognised in profit or loss. As of December 31, 2025, no accumulated allowance for loss allowance for contract assets (2024: RMB6,000).

Typical payment terms which impact on the amount of contract assets recognised are as follows:

The Group’s film production contracts include payment schedules which require stage payments over the project period once milestone are reached. These payment schedules prevent the build-up significant contract assets. This amount is included in contract assets until the end of the retention period as the Group’s entitlement to this final payment is conditional on the Group’s work satisfactorily passing inspection.

As of December 31, 2025, the non-current portion is expected to be recognised to revenue in 2027 (2024: 2026).

As of December 31, 2025, the Group has unused tax losses of approximately RMB331,832,000 (2024: RMB333,328,000) available for offset against future profits for the consecutive years and will expire between 2026 and 2030 (2024: 2025 and 2029). No deferred tax asset has been recognised in relation to such deductible temporary differences as it is not probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

33 Contingent liabilities

During the year, Linekong Online received civil claim filed by a third party in respect of alleged copyright infringement relating to the Group’s online game, where the claimant requested the court to order Linekong Online to pay a compensation of RMB5,000,000 for economic losses.

Taking into account the legal advice obtained, management has assessed that the probable exposure to the Group would be RMB1,200,000. Accordingly, a provision of RMB1,200,000 for compensation has been recognised and included in “trade and other payables” as of December 31, 2025.

As at the date of the approval for issuance of the consolidated financial statements, the above proceeding is still ongoing.
