1 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preliminary financial information does not constitute the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") for the year ended 31 December 2025 but is extracted from those financial statements.

(a) Statement of compliance

The Group’s 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.

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 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.

  • 5 -

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

  • 22 -

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.

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.


Final Dividend

The Board did not recommend any final dividend for year ended December 31, 2025 (for the year ended December 31, 2024: Nil).

Gearing Ratio

Our gearing ratio, being calculated by dividing total borrowings (including other payables to the Disposed Subsidiary as described in “Pledge of Assets” below) by total equity as of the date indicated and multiplied by 100%, decreased to 7.4% as of December 31, 2025 from 340.8% as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to the decrease in the Group’s borrowings.

Debt to Equity Ratio

Our debt to equity ratio was calculated by dividing total borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents by total equity as of the date indicated and multiplied by 100%, and the Group was in a net cash position as of December 31, 2025 (as of December 31, 2024: 226.5%) primarily due to the decrease in the Group’s borrowings.

Contingent Liabilities

As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, we did not have any material contingent liabilities.

Pledge of Assets

Save as disclosed below, none of our Group’s assets were pledged as of December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, a bank loan of US$1,809,000 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. As of December 31, 2024, US$2,212,000 were guaranteed by the Company and secured by financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Group and the Disposed Subsidiary entered into an agreement that the Disposed Subsidiary would assume responsibility for repaying the bank loans, and the Group would subsequently reimburse the Disposed Subsidiary.

Update on Expected Timeline for Use of Proceeds

As of December 31, 2025, the total unutilized Net Proceeds amounted to approximately HK$54.5 million (the "Unutilized Net Proceeds"). Having considered the reasons set out in "Reasons for Change in Use of Proceeds" below, the Board has resolved to extend the expected timeline for full utilization of the Unutilized Net Proceeds to the end of 2028, in order to cater for the business needs of the Group and current market conditions. The actual utilization of Net Proceeds up to December 31, 2025 and the updated expected timeline for full utilization of the Unutilized Net Proceeds are stated below.

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.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

There were no other material subsequent events relating to the Group after December 31, 2025 and up to the date of this announcement.

PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF THE COMPANY'S LISTED SECURITIES

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company's listed securities (including sale of treasury shares) during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Group did not hold any treasury shares.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company recognizes the importance of incorporating elements of good corporate governance in the management structures and internal control procedures of the Group so as to achieve effective accountability. The Company has adopted and, save as disclosed below, complied with the code provisions stated in the Corporate Governance Code contained in Part 2 of Appendix C1 (the "CG Code") to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Rules") during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Pursuant to provision C.2.1 of Part 2 of the CG Code, the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Mr. Li Xiang is the chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company. With extensive experience in business management, Mr. Li is responsible for the overall strategic and direction planning, business development and management of the Group and is instrumental to the growth and business expansion since the Group's establishment. The Board considers that vesting the roles of chairman and chief executive officer in the same person is beneficial to the management of the Group. The balance of power and authority is ensured by the operation of the senior management and the Board, especially the independent non-executive Directors, which comprises experienced and high-caliber individuals. The Board will continue to review

and consider splitting the roles of chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company at an appropriate time if necessary, taking into account the circumstances of the Group as a whole.
