CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,
I am pleased to present the business review and prospect of Powerwin Tech Group Limited and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2025.
RESULTS
In 2025, our Group recorded a gross billing of US$175.2 million in 2025, representing a year-on-year decrease of 79.5% from US$852.9 million in 2024. Our Group recorded revenue of US$4.7 million, representing a decrease of 65.4% from US$13.5 million in 2024. We recorded a loss for the year of US$4.5 million in 2025 as compared with a profit for the year of US$0.5 million in 2024. Basic loss per share for the year was US$0.57 cents as compared to a basic earnings per share of US$0.07 cents in 2024.
Our Group has adopted a prudent financial management approach towards its treasury policies to ensure healthy and safe key financial indicators.
Looking back over the past year, the global macroeconomic environment has been complex and severe with heightened uncertainty, exerting multiple pressures on the world economy and industry development. Affected by a confluence of external factors including profound adjustments in the international political landscape, persistent volatility in international trade policies, and the industry downturn cycle, the Group’s operating performance was under considerable pressure, resulting in a loss for the year. This is an operational reality that we must objectively face and fully recognize, as well as a critical test for all employees to stand together and overcome difficulties.
Amid adversity, resilience and direction become even more pronounced. Faced with a complex and evolving external environment, the Group has stayed true to its original aspirations, resolutely implemented its established core development strategies, continuously focused on its core businesses, and steadily advanced its globalization and localization initiatives. Meanwhile, the Group continuously optimized its operating system, enhanced management efficiency, strengthened risk control, and consolidated its core competitiveness, so as to accumulate momentum for industry recovery and long-term development.

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
We remain convinced that short-term volatilities and phased challenges are indispensable experiences in the course of corporate growth. Only by maintaining strategic focus and pursuing prudent and pragmatic operations can we navigate through industry cycles and seize long-term development opportunities. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to uphold the concept of sustainable development. Other than focus on its primary businesses by optimizing resource allocation, we shall devote extra efforts on technologies and innovation capabilities and advance high-quality development with solid steps, striving to create long-term value for shareholders, customers and employees.
APPRECIATION
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we wish to convey our sincere and profound appreciation to our shareholders, customers, and business partners for their unwavering support and trust in the Group. In addition, we would like to extend our special gratitude to our Board members, management team, and all employees whose dedication, resilience, and expertise underpin the foundation of our continued development and all achievements to date.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW
We are a cross-border digital marketing service provider in China. Over the years, we have been dedicated to empowering China-based marketers in user acquisition to better promote and connect themselves to customers worldwide while collaborating with major and well-known media publishers in helping them explore monetization opportunities. Our cross-border digital marketing services consist of standardized, customized and SaaS-based solutions to address China-based marketers’ needs for cross-border marketing endeavors. We also provide cross-border online-shop SaaS solutions which enable cross-border e-commerce merchants to build, operate, manage and market their own standalone online shops.
BUSINESS REVIEW
Cross-border Digital Marketing Services
Capitalizing on our deep understanding of marketers’ evolving needs and prompted by the cross-border digital marketing spending along with the growing demand of China-based enterprises to expand overseas business, we had served more than 3,000 marketers as of December 31, 2025, covering a variety of industry verticals of e-commerce, online games and apps. We had, as of December 31, 2025, curated and collaborated with 19 major and well-known media publishers globally, including major media publishers such as Google, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube and Snapchat, covering social networking, instant messaging, search engine and short-video media platforms, as well as more than 50 industry-specific media publishers each focusing on a specific niche market.
Depending on marketers’ needs and the depths of our services, our cross-border digital marketing services can be categorized into three service types, namely:
-
standardized digital marketing services , mainly including basic services, such as procurement of media resources (being the ad inventories from the media publishers’ platforms), opening and top-up of media accounts and implementation of marketing campaigns (without customized marketing strategies or optimization) on media publishers’ platforms;
-
customized digital marketing services , mainly including targeted marketing strategies and plans, marketing campaign content design, customized marketing campaign optimization, online shops optimization, campaign monitoring and management and execution of overall user acquisition; and
-

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Cross-border Online-shop SaaS Solutions
We provide cross-border online-shop SaaS solutions to customers through Powershopy, our proprietary SaaS platform launched in November 2021 which serves cross-border e-commerce merchants in China for the setup, operation and digital marketing of their own standalone online shops as opposed to online shops operated on third-party e-commerce platforms. We generate revenue from cross-border online-shop SaaS solutions by charging our customers: (i) a fixed amount of a monthly subscription fee for the use of our platform; and/or (ii) a commission representing a pre-determined percentage of the gross merchandise volume generated by our customers through our Powershopy platform.
EMPLOYEES AND REMUNERATION POLICY
Our Group had 42 full-time employees as of December 31, 2025 (as of December 31, 2024: 69). Our staff cost, which is included in cost of sales, and the expenses of other staff in aggregate amounted to US$3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (for the year ended December 31, 2024: US$3.6 million). Employees’ remuneration package includes salary, performance bonus and other welfare subsidies. The remuneration of employees is determined in accordance with our Group’s remuneration policy, the employees’ position, performance, company profitability, industry level and market environment. The remuneration committee of our Company is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Directors on the structure concerning remuneration of the Directors and senior management, having regard to our Group’s operating results, individual performance of the Directors and senior management and comparable market practices.
OUTLOOK
In the face of complex, dynamic, and continually evolving challenges, resilience has become our solid foundation — enabling us to withstand headwinds, adapt to changing conditions, and navigate through cycles. We will maintain strategic focus, concentrating on our long-term objectives, and remain steadfast even amid short-term pressures. By remaining agile and responsive, we endeavour to transform challenges into opportunities, leveraging our accumulated strengths to drive sustainable growth.
Adhering to our commitment to continuous evolution and innovation, we will continue to enhance our Adorado and Powershopy platforms. With the AI technologies flourishing with tremendous opportunities, we plan to increase our investment in AI technologies that will enable us to extend our expertise and generate new services that assist our customers further. This commitment will firmly guide us forward, ensuring that we remain aligned with the rapidly changing market environment and keep pace with the times.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue
Our revenue decreased by 65.4% to US$4.7 million in 2025 from US$13.5 million in 2024. This significant decline was primarily driven by global economic volatility and geopolitical uncertainties, which not only intensified market competition but also triggered shifts in consumer shopping habits, ultimately leading to a substantial cut in clients’ digital advertising budgets.
Revenue from cross-border digital marketing services
-
Standardized digital marketing. Revenue from standardized digital marketing services decreased by 72.6% to US$1.5 million in 2025 from US$5.6 million in 2024. This is primarily due to the Group’s strategy to gradually lower the revenue contribution of its standardized digital marketing services, as evidenced by the disposal (the “ Disposal ”) of Powerwin Media Group Co., Limited (the “ Disposed Subsidiary ”), a former subsidiary of the Company which was primarily engaged in providing standardized digital marketing service, in July 2025. For further details of the Disposal, please refer to the announcement and circular of the Company dated July 28, 2025 and August 15, 2025, respectively.
-
Customized digital marketing. Revenue from customized digital marketing services decreased by 67.1% to US$1.0 million in 2025 from US$3.1 million in 2024, which was primarily attributable to massive reduction on clients’ digital advertising budgets in response to the global economic volatility and geopolitical uncertainties.
-
SaaS-based digital marketing. Revenue from SaaS-based digital marketing services decreased by 39.8% to US$1.7 million in 2025 from US$2.8 million in 2024, as a result of the Group’s SaaS-based digital marketing customers reacting to the massive correction with the industry that driven a portion of customers out and other customers reducing their advertising budgets significantly to reposition themselves.
Revenue from cross-border online-shop SaaS solutions
Revenue from cross-border online-shop SaaS solutions decreased by 78.8% to US$0.4 million in 2025 from US$1.9 million in 2024, which was primarily due to the change of shopping habits and contraction of the markets, leading to a decrease in commission income received by the Group.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales decreased to US$1.8 million in 2025 from US$2.2 million in 2024, which was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue and the Group’s staff structure optimization on staff cost.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Our gross profit decreased by 74.5% to US$2.9 million in 2025 from US$11.3 million in 2024, as a result of rolling out certain promotional measures in response to the intensified competition within the industry. Our overall gross profit margin decreased to 61.7% in 2025 from 83.7% in 2024, which was mainly due to the roll out of the aforementioned promotional measures. Although the Group has optimized its cost structure that reduced its cost of sales, it did not offset the decrease in gross profit margin.
Marketing Expenses
Our marketing expenses decreased to US$0.4 million in 2025 from US$0.5 million in 2024, due to a decrease in staff cost as a result of the Group’s staff structure optimization.
Administrative Expenses
Our administrative expenses increased to US$4.4 million in 2025 from US$4.1 million in 2024, due to extra cost in executing the staff optimization plan.
Expected Credit Losses on Trade Receivables
Our expected credit losses on trade receivables increased to US$3.0 million in 2025 from US$0.7 million in 2024, as a result of increasing bad debt provisions as the operational adjustments of certain customers have resulted in long collection period. The Group has proactively contacted the customers in writing and conducted regular personal visits in order to collect the outstanding funds.
Finance Costs
Our finance costs decreased to US$2.0 million in 2025 from US$6.0 million in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in Group’s gross billing for the year 2025 hence lessen the Group’s need of bank loans.
Income Tax
We recorded an income tax credit of US$0.7 million in 2025 as compared to income tax expense of US$0.04 million in 2024. This resulted from the increase in deferred tax asset arising from the temporary deductible differences of credit loss allowance of trade receivables.
Our effective income tax rate was 13.3% and 6.4% in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Loss for the Year
As a result of the foregoing, we recorded a loss for the year of US$4.5 million in 2025 as compared to a profit of US$0.5 million in 2024.
Trade Receivables
Our trade receivables decreased to US$1.6 million as of December 31, 2025 from US$228.9 million as of December 31, 2024, which was primarily due to the decrease in the Group’s gross billing for the year ended December 31, 2025 as a result of the Disposal.
Trade and Other Payables
Our trade and other payables decreased to US$3.0 million as of December 31, 2025 from US$129.0 million as of December 31, 2024, as the Group no longer requires to make significant advance payment for certain of its customer in the course of offering standardized cross-border digital marketing services through the Disposed Subsidiary after the Disposal.
Bank Loans
We no longer have any bank loans as of December 31, 2025, as compared to that of US$102.6 million as of December 31, 2024. The bank loans were previously used to maintain the standardized cross-border digital marketing services of the Group, which is predominantly provided through the Disposed Subsidiary, in order to make significant advance payment for certain of its customers. After the Disposal, the Group no longer has to deploy significant financial resources to maintain the standardized cross-border digital marketing service offering and therefore the Group no longer required bank loans in this regard.
Liquidity and Financial Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents were primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of US$34.4 million and US$19.8 million, respectively. Such decrease was primarily attributable to the repayment of bank loans.
Our net current assets decreased to US$20.0 million as of December 31, 2025 from US$23.9 million as of December 31, 2024. While our current liabilities as of December 31, 2025 has decreased, the decrease in cash and cash equivalents has eventually led to a decrease in our net current assets.
In 2025 and particularly before the Disposal, our major financing resources were bank loans. As of December 31, 2025, the Group no longer has any outstanding bank loans. As mentioned in the section headed “Bank Loans” above, after the Disposal, the Group no longer requires significant financial resources supported through bank loans to maintain its standardized cross-border service offerings.

REPORT OF DIRECTORS
REASONS FOR EXTENDING THE EXPECTED TIMELINE FOR USE OF PROCEEDS
Given the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence technologies and their transformative potential across industries, the Group plans to invest and develop services through new innovative solutions and technologies and additional time is required to explore opportunities that would provide a competitive edge to the Group’s cross-border online-shop SaaS solutions business in the market. Furthermore, considering the geopolitical uncertainties and the Group’s SaaS-based digital marketing customers have significantly reduced their advertising budgets, the Board is of the view that it would be prudent not to incur significant marketing expenses in marketing the Group’s cross-border online-shop SaaS solutions under current market environment. As such, the Group has extended the expected timeline for strengthening the research and development capabilities of the Group and marketing the Group’s cross-border online-shop SaaS solutions business to the end of 2028.
In light of prevailing global economic volatility, the Group has reviewed its existing business and internal management systems and the Group considers that the current systems satisfy its current operational requirements. Consequently, the Group has deferred the planned implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, while maintaining ongoing oversight of its research and development activities to ensure alignment with the Group’s evolving business scale and operational requirements. As such, the Group has extended the expected timeline for upgrading the Group’s business and internal management systems to the end of 2028.
The geopolitical uncertainties and varying regulatory environments across overseas jurisdictions impacted the Group’s capabilities in providing overseas localized services. In order to mitigate operational risks, enhance the quality of its localized services and better align its overseas development, the Group has extended the expected timeline to strengthen the Group’s capabilities in providing localized services in overseas countries and regions to meet customers’ growing demand for overseas presence and expansion and deepen the Group’s global footprint to the end of 2028.
The Group has been vigorously evaluating various investment projects as well as strategic partnerships. However, the Group has not yet identified suitable opportunities that align with the Group’s long-term corporate vision and add value to the Group’s product portfolios. As such, the Group has extended the expected timeline for pursuing strategic cooperation or investment opportunities from upstream and downstream industry participants that will complement or enhance the Group’s existing business and product functions and have synergy with the Group to the end of 2028.
The Board considers that the extension of the expected timeline for full utilization of the Unutilized Net Proceeds will not have any material adverse impact on the existing business and operations of the Group and is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
Save as disclosed above, the Company does not currently anticipate any other material changes to the use of the Unutilized Net Proceeds. The Board will continuously assess the plans for the use of the Unutilized Net Proceeds and may further revise or amend such plans where necessary to cope with the changing market environment and conditions, as well as business needs.

Materiality Assessment
To promote its sustainable development, the Group regularly understands stakeholders’ opinions and concerns on ESG matters through materiality assessment. During the Reporting Period, the Group continued to engage an independent sustainability consultant to conduct a materiality assessment. By inviting both internal and external stakeholders to participate in a questionnaire survey, the assessment followed a structured three-step process: identification, prioritisation, and verification.
Based on the survey results, the Group has confirmed the materiality and impact of each sustainability issue on its sustainable development and determined the disclosure focus of the Report. Moreover, the Group will prioritise enhancing ESG management of relevant issues and integrate these considerations into future strategic planning and risk management adjustments.
1 Identification
-
Referring to the “Guidelines”, reporting trends and industry practices, and screening based on the group’s internal situation, 24 ESG issues closely related to the group’s business were identified.
-
2 Prioritisation • Invite internal and external stakeholders to participate in an online survey to rate the importance of ESG issues.
-
Collect scores on two dimensions of each ESG issue, including the impact on the Group’s corporate value (financial importance) and the Group’s impact on the economy, environment, and society (impact importance), to determine the overall importance of each ESG issue.
-
Develop a materiality matrix and priority list of ESG issues.
-
3 Verification • After the assessment results are reviewed and confirmed by the Board of Directors and senior management, the Group will make targeted responses and focused reports.
The stakeholder questionnaire survey of the Reporting Period was conducted online, 42 valid responses were received in total. Combining the impact of the issues on the Group’s corporate value and the Group’s impact on the economy, environment, and society, the following matrix shows the overall importance level of the 24 ESG issues, covering three aspects of “Environment”, “Society”, and “Governance” to compile the questionnaire. We identified five ESG issues after analysing the importance of the issues to the Group’s operations and stakeholders, considering the industry background, development status, and strategic planning. The five ESG issues, including “Innovation and Technology”, “Risk Management”, “Data Security and Customer Privacy Management”, “Intellectual Property Protection”, “Business Ethics and Integrity”, located on the upper right side of the materiality matrix curve are regarded as “important issues “, and the Group will make targeted responses on relevant issues. At the same time, we will prioritise strengthening ESG management work on these issues and incorporate them into the Group’s future strategic planning and risk management considerations.

We firmly believe that the opinions of stakeholders have an important impact on the Group’s achievement of sustainable development goals. Further understanding and respecting the views and needs of stakeholders will enable the Group to make better decisions and plans. In the future, the Group will continue to strive to establish and maintain positive interactions with stakeholders through diversified, transparent, and effective communication channels, optimise sustainable development strategies, and make us more successful in the pursuit of sustainable development.
A. COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENT
In its daily operations, the Group strictly abides by environmental laws and regulations of the place where we have operations and strives to minimise the negative impact on the environment and climate. The Group primarily conducts its operations through offices and training centers. We believe that the Group’s business operations have little direct impact on emissions, use of resources, environment and natural resources, and climate change. Nevertheless, the Group recognises environmental protection as a critical component of its corporate responsibility. We are firmly committed to advancing corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development, ensuring that these principles are seamlessly integrated into all key facets of our business operations. We attach great importance to environmental protection and strictly abide by the Environmental Protection Law of the PRC, the Law of the PRC on Conserving Energy, and other laws and regulations.
During our business development, the Group actively embraces the principles of energy conservation and environmental protection by implementing a range of targeted measures. We are committed to advancing clean, efficient, and sustainable practices across our operations. To this end, we have established internal policies focused on conserving energy, water, paper, and other vital resources, while also reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollutants from vehicles. Additionally, we actively promote and support environmental initiatives, including climate change mitigation, and strive to enhance employee awareness and engagement in environmental protection efforts.
We will systematically evaluate and monitor the progress of our environmental protection initiatives, closely tracking emission sources and identifying further opportunities for energy conservation and emission reduction. By establishing and refining relevant policies, we aim to ensure the efficient and responsible use of resources, thereby minimising our environmental footprint. Below are some of the key initiatives we have undertaken in support of environmental protection.

A1. Emissions
The Group is principally engaged in digital marketing and online shop SaaS solutions which does not directly generate a large amount of waste gas and greenhouse gas emissions nor discharge into water or land, such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and respiratory suspended particles.
The Group discloses greenhouse gas emission data for our primary operations in China. Generally, the Group adopts the operational control approach to define the organizational boundary for reporting unless otherwise specified.
The Group calculates its greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (2004). The Group also refers to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard (2011) to identify Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions among the fifteen Scope 3 categories. The Group has identified and disclosed three Scope 3 categories relevant to our business. Other categories are excluded as they are either not relevant to our business or the data is not material for quantification.
Our carbon footprints mainly come from the use of electricity and water in offices, the use of office materials, the waste generated from operations, and business trips. We have implemented environmental protection measures with energy management, water resource management, and waste reduction, to minimise the impact on the environment and natural resources. The Group has established internal guidelines to enhance employees’ awareness to reduce emissions in our daily operational processes, consistently improve production methods and efficiency, and ensure that waste is properly handled and treated. We evaluate our electricity consumption in accordance with relevant regulations and policies and endeavour to proactively conserve energy in response to the government’s initiatives.
During the Reporting Period, the Group did not note any cases of material non-compliance relating to air and greenhouse gas emissions, discharge into water and land, and the generation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste as required by the applicable laws and regulations that had a significant impact on the Group.
The Group has not yet incorporated internal carbon pricing into our decision-making processes. Considering that the introduction of internal carbon pricing is a long-term undertaking, The Group will conduct an assessment and study of its feasibility when the timing is appropriate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
==> picture [78 x 32] intentionally omitted <==
To the shareholders of Powerwin Tech Group Limited
(Incorporated in Cayman Islands with limited liability)
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Powerwin Tech Group Limited (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries (the “ Group ”) set out on pages 112 to 176, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended and notes, comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2025 and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with HKFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“ HKICPA ”) 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 ”) as issued by 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.
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.

Revenue recognition
The Key Audit Matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
The principal activities of the Group are rendering cross-border digital marketing services and crossborder online-shop SaaS solutions.
Our audit procedures to assess the recognition of revenue included the following:
- understanding and assessing the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of key internal controls over recognition of revenue;
Revenue from different types of contracts have different contract terms and revenue recognition criteria. In addition, as the Group handles individual transactions manually, there is an increased risk of that error may be made in the timing of recognition of revenue. Therefore, we identified recognition of revenue as a key audit matter.
-
inspecting the Group’s contracts with marketers, media publishers and customers on a sample basis and discussing with the management on the nature of each major type of services to evaluate the Group’s revenue recognition policies with reference to the requirements of the prevailing accounting standards;
-
confirming with the marketers and customers directly on balances of trade receivables as at the year end on a sample basis and performing alternative procedures on unreturned confirmations;
-
on a sample basis, reconciling transaction records to the monthly statements and rebates earned from the media publishers or agents of media publishers to the relevant underlying documents, including service contracts, quarterly statements and bank-in slips;
-
performing re-calculation of revenue on selected marketers and customers based on annual transaction volume data and the service fee rate stipulated in the contracts, and comparing it with the revenue recorded by the Group; and
-
comparing, on a sample basis, specific revenue transactions recorded before and after the financial year end date with the relevant underlying documents including service contracts and monthly statements, to assess if revenue had been recognised in the appropriate financial period.

Information other than the consolidated financial statements and auditor’s report thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all the information included in the annual report, other than 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.
Responsibilities of the directors for the consolidated financial statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the HKICPA 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.
The directors are assisted by the Audit Committee in discharging their responsibilities for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
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, 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.
Powerwin Tech Group Limited

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
-
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 the Audit Committee 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.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, 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 partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Kong Wing Hung (practising certificate number: P07075).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (EXPRESSED IN USD UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
1 Material accounting policies
(a) Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRS Accounting Standards, which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”), Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“ HKASs ”) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“ HKICPA ”) and the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. Material accounting policies adopted by the Group are disclosed below.
The HKICPA has issued certain new or amended HKFRS Accounting Standards that are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Group. Note 1(c) provides information on any changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current accounting period reflected in these financial statements.
(b) Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “ Group ”).
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to the entity (the “ functional currency ”). The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries outside Chinese Mainland is US dollars (“ USD ”) and the functional currency of the subsidiaries in Chinese Mainland is Renminbi.
As the major operations of the Group were denominated in USD, the consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise indicated.
The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is the historical cost basis except that the financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (“ FVPL ”) is stated at their fair value as explained in note 15.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(EXPRESSED IN USD UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
1 Material accounting policies (Continued)
(b) Basis of preparation of the financial statements (Continued)
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRS Accounting Standards that have significant effect on the financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 2.
(c) Changes in accounting policies
The Group has applied amendments to HKAS 21, The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates – Lack of exchangeability issued by the HKICPA to these financial statements for the current accounting period. The amendments do not have a material impact on these financial statements as the Group has not entered into any foreign currency transactions in which the foreign currency is not exchangeable into another currency.
The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.

(d) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealised income and expenses (except for foreign currency transaction gains or losses) arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.
In the Company’s statement of financial position, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 1(h)(ii)).
(e) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses (see note 1(h)(ii)).
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual values, if any, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
– Office equipment and vehicles 3 – 5 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.

(f) Intangible assets
Expenditure on research activities is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the resulting asset. Otherwise, it is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Capitalised development expenditure is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses (see note 1(h)(ii)).
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, if any, and is generally recognised in profit or loss.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
– Software 3 -10 years
The useful life of software was assessed based on the expected period of technological or commercial usability of the software.
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.
(g) Leased assets
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. This is the case if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the use of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from that use.
As a lessee
Where the contract contains lease component(s) and non-lease component(s), the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and accounts for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases.

(g) Leased assets (Continued)
As a lessee (Continued)
At the lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, except for leases that have a short lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value items. When the Group enters into a lease in respect of a low-value item, the Group decides whether to capitalise the lease on a lease-by-lease basis. If not capitalised, the associated lease payments are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the lease term.
Where the lease is capitalised, the lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, using a relevant incremental borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost and interest expense is recognised using the effective interest method. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability, and are charged to profit or loss as incurred.
The right-of-use asset recognised when a lease is capitalised is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 1(h)(ii)).
Refundable rental deposits are accounted for separately from the right-of-use assets and measured at amortised cost. Expected credit losses (see note 1(h)(i)), interest income calculated using the effective interest method (see note 1(q)(ii)(a)), foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss. Any excess of the nominal value over the initial fair value of the deposits is accounted for as additional lease payments made and is included in the cost of right-of-use assets.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of right-of-use assets, using the straight-line method over the unexpired term of leases as follows:

As a lessee (Continued)
The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
The lease liability is also remeasured when there is a lease modification, which means a change in the scope of a lease or the consideration for a lease that is not originally provided for in the lease contract, if such modification is not accounted for as a separate lease. In this case the lease liability is remeasured based on the revised lease payments and lease term using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
The Group presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities separately in the statement of financial position. The current portion of long-term lease liabilities is determined as the present value of contractual payments that are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period.
(h) Credit losses and impairment of assets
- (i) Credit losses from financial assets
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses (“ ECL ”s) on the financial assets measured at amortised cost (including cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables).

Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Generally, credit losses are measured as the present value of all expected cash shortfalls between the contractual and expected amounts.
The expected cash shortfalls are discounted using the following rates if the effect is material:
-
fixed-rate financial assets, trade and other receivables: effective interest rate determined at initial recognition or an approximation thereof;
-
variable-rate financial assets: current effective interest rate.
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
ECLs are measured on either of the following bases:
-
12-month ECLs: these are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months); and
-
lifetime ECLs: these are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected lives of the items to which the ECL model applies.
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured at 12-months ECLs:
-
financial instruments that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
-
other financial instruments for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

Significant increases in credit risk
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when measuring ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward-looking information.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:
-
the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or
-
the financial asset is 90 days past due.
ECLs are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in the financial asset’s credit risk since initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss. The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss for all financial assets with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
Credit-impaired financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Credit-impaired financial assets (Continued)
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable events:
-
significant financial difficulties of the debtor;
-
a breach of contract, such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;
-
the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise;
-
it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
-
the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties of the issuer.
Write-off policy
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off.
Subsequent recoveries of an asset that was previously written off are recognised as a reversal of impairment in profit or loss in the period in which the recovery occurs.

(h) Credit losses and impairment of assets (Continued)
- (ii) Impairment of other non-current assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash-generating units (“ CGU ”s).
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. They are allocated to reduce the carrying amounts of the assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the resulting carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
- (iii) Interim financial reporting and impairment
Under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, the Group is required to prepare an interim financial report in compliance with HKAS 34, Interim financial reporting, in respect of the first six months of the financial year. At the end of the interim period, the Group applies the same impairment testing, recognition, and reversal criteria as it would at the end of the financial year (see notes 1(h)(i) and 1(h)(ii)).

(i) Contract liabilities
A contract liability is recognised when the customer pays non-refundable consideration before the Group recognises the related revenue (see note 1(q)(i)). A contract liability is also recognised if the Group has an unconditional right to receive non-refundable consideration before the Group recognises the related revenue. In such latter cases, a corresponding receivable is also recognised (see note 1(j)).
- (j) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised when the Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration and only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.
Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are initially measured at their transaction price. All receivables are subsequently stated at amortised cost (see note 1(h)(i)).
Insurance reimbursement is recognised and measured in accordance with note 1(p).
(k) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are assessed for ECL (see note 1(h)(i)).
(l) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at invoice amounts.

(m) Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are measured initially at fair value less transaction costs. Subsequently, these borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognised in accordance with note 1(s).
(n) Employee benefits
- (i) Short-term employee benefits and contributions to defined contribution retirement plans
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are expensed as the related service is provided.
- (ii) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognises costs for a restructuring.
(o) Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax comprises the estimated tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustments to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects any uncertainty related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends.

(o) Income tax (Continued)
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
-
temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences;
-
temporary differences related to investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future;
-
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill; and
-
those related to the income taxes arising from tax laws enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two model rules published by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The Group recognised deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities separately in relation to its lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognise a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered, based on the business plans for individual subsidiaries in the Group. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

(p) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Generally provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
Where some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed by another party, a separate asset is recognised for any expected reimbursement that would be virtually certain. The amount recognised for the reimbursement is limited to the carrying amount of the provision.
(q) Revenue and other income
Income is classified by the Group as revenue when it arises from the sale of goods, the provision of services or the use by others of the Group’s assets under leases in the ordinary course of the Group’s business.

-
(i) Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group principally derives revenue from the provision of cross-border digital marketing services and cross-border online-shop software as a service (“ SaaS ”) solutions.
- (a) Cross-border digital marketing services
The Group use CPM, or cost per mille (based on per one thousand impressions of the advertisement) and CPC, or cost per click (based on the number of clicks of the advertisement), as pricing models. The Group recognises revenue on the CPM or CPC basis, when the related services are delivered. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the expected amounts receivable for services performed, net of discounts, returns and value-added taxes (“ VAT ”).
- (i) Standardized digital marketing services
The Group acts as an intermediary by connecting marketers with media publishers and facilitating their transactions. The Group recognises revenue mainly based on the agreed amounts of rebates earned from the media publishers, net of the incentives granted to the marketers.
- (ii) Customized and SaaS-based digital marketing services
On top of standardized digital marketing services, the Group also generates revenue from providing customized and SaaS-based services to marketers. Revenue from such services is recognised at the agreed amount charged to the marketers, which is generally based on a certain percentage of the billing to the marketers on the specific media platform.
In both standardized digital marketing services and customized and SaaS-based digital marketing services, the Group neither makes promises to marketers about the effectiveness of marketing campaigns nor control the underlying advertising space before it is transferred to marketers. Therefore, the Group determines that it acts as an agent in both arrangements and does not include in revenue any payments from the marketers that are collected on behalf of the media publishers.

(b) Cross-border online-shop SaaS solutions
Revenue deriving from cross-border online-shop SaaS solutions consists of subscription fees and commission. During the subscription period, customers can access the SaaS platform but cannot take possession of the SaaS platform or transfer the proprietary rights pertaining to such a platform.
Subscription fees are charged monthly for customers to sell their products and process transactions on the standalone online-shops established through the SaaS platform. Subscription fees are generally charged per online store and are based on the store’s subscription plan. The subscription fees are amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the subscription.
Commission consists of sharing of gross merchandise volume (“ GMV ”) earned by the customers from selling their products via the SaaS platform and is recognised when the transaction is completed.
-
(ii) Revenue from other sources and other income
-
(a) Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. The “effective interest rate” is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. In calculating interest income, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired). However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.

(b) Government grants
Government grants are recognised in the statement of financial position initially when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them.
Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as income in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred.
Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and consequently are effectively recognised in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset by way of reduced depreciation expense.
(r) Translation of foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. The transaction date is the date on which the Group or the Company initially recognises such nonmonetary assets or liabilities. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was measured.
The results of entities not using USD as functional currency are translated into USD at the exchange rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Statement of financial position items, are translated into USD at the closing foreign exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the exchange reserve.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.
2 Accounting judgements and estimates
The methods, estimates and judgements the management used in applying the Group’s accounting policies have a significant impact on the Group’s financial position and operating results.

2 Accounting judgements and estimates (Continued)
(a) Revenue recognition – Principal versus agent considerations
The Group provides cross-border digital marketing services to its customers using different business models, which involves the assessment of revenue recognition on a gross or net basis, i.e. principal vs. agent assessment in different business models. The Group follows the accounting guidance for principal-agent considerations to assess whether the Group controls the specified service before it is transferred to the customer, the indicators of which include but not limited to (a) whether the entity is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified service; (b) whether the entity has inventory risk before the specified service has been transferred to a customer; and (c) whether the entity has discretion in establishing the prices from the specified goods or service. The management considers the above factors in totality, as none of the factors individually are considered presumptive or determinative, and applies judgment when assessing the indicators depending on each different circumstances.
(b) Loss allowance for trade receivables
The Group estimates the loss allowances for trade receivables by assessing the ECLs. This requires the use of estimates and judgements. ECLs are based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors and an assessment of both the current and forecast general economic conditions at the end of reporting period. Where the estimation is different from the original estimate, such difference will affect the carrying amounts of trade receivables and thus the impairment loss in the period in which such estimate is changed. The Group keeps assessing the expected credit loss of trade receivables during their expected lives.
(c) Income tax and deferred tax assets
The Group is subject to income taxes in different jurisdictions. During the year, certain subsidiaries in Chinese Mainland provide intragroup research and development service and commercial support service to subsidiaries in Hong Kong. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions associated with such type of transactions involves significant judgment as to the ultimate outcome, the interpretation and application of the relevant tax laws, and the determination of the appropriate transfer pricing that reflects the location of value creation. Although the Group believes that it has made its best estimate of the tax position in accordance with the relevant tax laws in respect of the intra-group transactions, the final tax outcome of these matters may be different from that which is reflected in the Group’s financial statements. Changes in facts and circumstances or new information becoming available may cause the Group to reassess its judgement or estimate in determining the transfer pricing policy and terms applied in the intra-group transactions, the adequacy of existing tax liabilities and eligible application for refund of the overpaid Hong Kong Profit Tax, if any. Such reassessment may result in changes to tax liabilities or tax refund which will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.

The Group, as the policyholder and beneficiary owner, held some life insurance contracts, which contained not only an insurance component, but also a deposit component. The Group develops an accounting policy to unbundle the insurance component and the deposit component upon initial recognition. The one-off initial charges paid upfront for the insurance coverage were booked as prepaid expenses and would be amortised to expenses, during the period in which the Group expected to hold the insurance contracts. The remaining upfront policy fee paid after deducting the upfront charges was regarded as the deposit component and was accounted for under HKFRS 9, Financial Instruments. As the Group was entitled to a guaranteed minimum return as well as an unguaranteed investment return, the deposit component did not give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. In accordance with HKFRS 9.4.1.4, the deposit component was measured at fair value through profit or loss. Please see note 25(e) for the measurement of the fair value of the deposit component.

Consequently, the Group recorded the payable to the Disposed subsidiary and derecognised bank loans of USD1,857,000 on the date of disposal. As of 31 December 2025, payable to the Disposed subsidiary amounted to USD1,902,000.
At 31 December 2025, the bank loans of USD1,809,000 held by the Disposed subsidiary were guaranteed by the Company and secured by a portion of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (see note 15), which amounted to USD2,926,000.
The analysis of the repayment schedule of payable to the Disposed subsidiary is as follows:

Exchange reserve
The exchange reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from translation of financial information of entities not using USD as functional currency. The reserve is dealt with in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1(r).
(f) 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 an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital, by pricing services commensurately with the level of risk and by securing access to finance at a reasonable cost.
The Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to maintain a balance between the higher shareholder returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions.
The Group monitors its capital structure with reference to its debt position. The Group’s strategy was to maintain the equity and debt in a balanced position and ensure there are adequate working capital to service its debt obligations. In order to maintain or adjust the ratio, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, return capital to shareholders, raise new debt financing or sell assets to reduce debt.
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

25 Financial risk management and fair values
Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks arises in the normal course of the Group’s business.
The Group’s exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Group to manage these risks are described below.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents and financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, is limited because the counterparties are highly reputable and sizeable banks and financial institutions for which the Group considers to have low credit risk. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis.
Trade receivables
The Group has established a credit risk management policy under which individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. Trade receivables are due within 30 – 60 days (2024: 30 – 300 days) from the date of billing. Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from customers.
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk in industries or countries in which the customers operate. Significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Group has significant exposure to individual customers. At the end of the reporting period, 62% (2024: 30%) and 82% (2024: 83%) of the total trade receivables was due from the Group’s largest customer and the five largest customers respectively.
The Group measures loss allowances for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, which is calculated using a provision matrix. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not indicate significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on ageing status is not further distinguished between the Group’s different customer bases.

Other receivables
In determining the ECL for other receivables, the management of the Group has taken into account the historical default experience and forward-looking information, as appropriate. The management of the Group has assessed that other receivables have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and risk of default is insignificant, and therefore, no provision for impairment of other receivables is considered necessary by management for the year ended 31 December 2025 and 2024.

Individual operating entities within the Group are responsible for their own cash management, including the short-term investment of cash surpluses and the raising of loans to cover expected cash demands.

(c) Interest rate risk
- (i) Interest rate risk profile
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from bank loans issued at fixed rates and variable rates, and lease liabilities that expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk.
The following table details the interest rate profile of the Group’s bank loans at the end of the reporting period:
| Fixed rate liabilities: Lease liabilities Bank loans Variable rate liabilities: Bank loans Other payable to the Disposed subsidiary Net exposure |
Notional 2025 USD’000 839 – 839 – 1,804 1,804 |

|---|---|---|
| 42,869 | ||
| 59,992 – |
||
| 59,992 | ||
- (ii) Sensitivity analysis
At 31 December 2025, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have increased/decreased the Group’s loss after tax and decreased/increased the Group’s retained profits by approximately USD15,000 (2024: USD501,000).
The sensitivity analysis above indicates the instantaneous change in the Group’s profit/loss after tax and retained profits that would arise assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the end of each reporting period and had been applied to re-measure those financial instruments held by the Group which expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk at the end of the reporting period. In respect of the exposure to cash flow interest rate risk arising from floating rate non-derivative instruments held by the Group at the end of each reporting period, the impact on the Group’s profit/loss after tax and retained profits is estimated as an annualised impact on interest expense or income of such a change in interest rates. The analysis is performed on the same basis as 2024.

Fair value hierarchy
The following table presents the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments measured at the end of each reporting period on a recurring basis, categorised into the three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in HKFRS 13, Fair value measurement .
The level into which a fair value measurement is classified is determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:
-
Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
-
Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available.
-
Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs.

HKFRS 18 will replace HKAS 1, Presentation of financial statements and aims to improve the transparency and comparability of information about an entity’s financial statements. HKFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and is to be applied retrospectively.
Among other changes, under HKFRS 18, entities are required to classify all income and expenses into five categories in the statement of profit or loss, namely the operating, investing, financing, discontinued operations and income tax categories. Entities are also required to provide specific disclosures about management-defined performance measures in a single note in the financial statements.
The Group does not plan to early adopt HKFRS 18 and is still in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption.
