For the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, information is considered material if such information is reasonably expected to influence decisions made by primary users. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The directors of the Company have, at the time of approving the consolidated financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

De-SPAC Transaction

A business combination agreement (“Business Combination Agreement”) was entered into on December 20, 2024 and amended on September 25, 2025 and November 6, 2025 among the Company, beyond Merger Sub Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”) and TechStar Acquisition Corporation (the “TechStar”) as part of the De-SPAC Transaction (as defined below). TechStar was a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) incorporated on April 11, 2022 in Cayman Islands with limited liability company formed for the purpose of acquiring a suitable target that results in the listing of a successor company (referred to as a “De-SPAC Transaction”) within the time limits required by the Listing Rules on the Stock Exchange. TechStar completed its public offering on December 23, 2022.

Upon completion of the De-SPAC Transaction on December 10, 2025 (the “Closing Date”):

a) the Merger Sub and TechStar amalgamated and continue as one company, following which the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and TechStar will continue as the surviving entity and become a directly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company;

b) each preferred share of the Company (other than the preferred shares of the Company designated as Series A preferred shares) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date was converted into ordinary shares of the Company on a 1:1 basis in accordance with the Company’s Articles; and each preferred share of the Company designated as a Series A preferred share that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date was converted into ordinary shares of the Company on a 1:3.57929 basis in accordance with the Company’s Articles (the “Company Shares Conversion”);


c) the Company allotted and issued such number of fully paid shares of the Company at par value by way of capitalizing all or any part of any amount for the time being standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company, on a pro rata basis to all shareholders of the Company that appear on the register of members of the Company immediately prior to the Closing Date and after having completing the Company Shares Conversion (the "Capitalization Issue"), such that immediately after the Capitalization Issue, the share capital of the Company (on an outstanding share basis) will consist of 1,170,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company;

d) each option and restricted share units ("RSUs") outstanding of the Company as of the effective time of the Capitalization Issue was, automatically and without any action on the part of any holder of such option or RSU of the Company or beneficiary thereof, continued to be an option to purchase ordinary shares of the Company and a restricted share unit covering ordinary shares of the Company respectively, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately before the effective time of the Capitalization Issue, except with proportionate adjustments as required as a result of the Capitalization Issue;

e) 11,605,000 shares of the Company were issued to the non-redeeming TechStar shareholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, NIO confirmed the acceptance of side LiDAR therefore the Group recognised the compensation of US$867,000 considering the increased probability of collectability of other receivables (2024: US$7,727,000). The compensation is accounted for as a reduction of research and development expenses upon NIO’s acceptance of the deliverables.

8. CAPITAL REORGANISATION

Capital reorganisation as part of the De-SPAC Transaction ("Capital Reorganisation") is accounted for as share-based payment transaction under IFRS 2 and the shares allotted and issued to effect the Capital Reorganisation are measured at fair value of the equity consideration issued to the former owners of Techstar.

Since the Company has issued shares with a fair value in excess of the net assets of Techstar acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss as De-SPAC Transaction expenses arising from capital reorganisation.

The fair value of the consideration was determined as follows:

(i) Based on the number of non-redeeming shares of Techstar outstanding immediately prior to the Capital Reorganisation, plus the bonus share issued immediately prior to the Capital Reorganisation, totalling 11,605,000 shares after considering capitalisation, with a share price of HK$10 per share; and

(ii) Based on the number of Techstar’s promoter shares outstanding immediately prior to the Capital Reorganisation, totalling 25,000,000 shares after considering capitalisation, also at a share price of HK$10 per share.

Accordingly, the deemed consideration amounts to approximately US$47,043,000.

The fair value hierarchy of the input (i.e. share price of Techstar) to determine De-SPAC Transaction expense is categorised under Level 1 by reference to the quoted bid prices in an active market.

The carrying amount of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Techstar acquired or assumed upon the Capital Reorganisation in exchange for the issued share capital of the Company and the De-SPAC Transaction expense arising from the capital reorganisation are set out as follows:

US$’000
Ordinary shares of the Company issued:
– In exchange of non-redeeming Techstar’s Class A shareholders 13,558
– As bonus shares issue to non-redeeming Techstar’s Class A shareholders 1,356
– As promoter shares 32,129
47,043
Less:
Fair value of Techstar’s identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed
Cash and cash equivalents 15,241
Accrued payable (61)
15,180
Excess of net assets 31,863
Other liabilities arising from the Capital Reorganisation:
Listed Warrants Liabilities 682
Promoter Warrants Liabilities 24,540
De-SPAC Transaction expense arising from capital reorganisation 57,085
US$’000
Net cash inflow from Capital Reorganisation:

No provision of Hong Kong Profits Tax was made in the consolidated financial statements as the Group had no assessable profit subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax for both years.

The subsidiaries in China are companies incorporated under PRC law and, as such, are subjected to PRC enterprise income tax on their taxable income in accordance with the relevant PRC income tax laws. Pursuant to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or PRC EIT Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008, a uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate is generally applicable to both foreign-invested enterprises and domestic enterprises, except where a special preferential rate applies.

Tudatong (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. ("Tudatong Suzhou") has been accredited as a "High and New Technology Enterprise" by the Science and Technology Bureau of Suzhou City and relevant authorities on November 6, 2023 and has been registered with the local tax authorities for enjoying the reduced 15% Enterprise Income Tax ("EIT") rate from 2023 to 2025.

According to a policy promulgated by the State Tax Bureau of the PRC and effective from 2023 onwards, enterprises engaged in R&D activities are entitled to claim an additional tax deduction amounting to 100% of the qualified R&D expenses incurred in determining its tax assessable profits for that year ("Super Deduction").

Certain subsidiaries of the Company in the PRC are qualified as "Small Low-Profit Enterprise". The entitled subsidiaries are subjected to a preferential income tax rate as 20% for both years.

The Company's subsidiary in the United States is subjected to 21% federal tax rate. The operations in the United States could be also subject to state and local taxes.

The Company's subsidiaries in United States that sell goods and/or provide certain services to the Company's subsidiaries in the PRC would be subject to a withholding tax of 10%.

The Group is operating in certain jurisdictions where the Pillar Two Rules are effective. However, as the Group's consolidated annual revenue is expected to be less than Euro 750 million in at least two of the four fiscal years preceding the tested year, the management of the Group considered the Group is not liable to top-up tax under the Pillar Two Rules.

10. LOSS PER SHARE

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share attributable to owners of the Company is based on the following data:

Year ended 12/31/2025 Year ended 12/31/2024
Loss (US$’000):
Loss for the year attributable to owners of the Company 328,050 398,195
Number of shares (’000):
Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of basic and diluted loss per share 299,411 238,620

The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 has been adjusted retrospectively after taking into impact of capitalisation issue to the existing shareholders of 227,004,069 units of ordinary shares. The early exercise of share options has potential shares of 26,527 and 1,348 as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the computation of diluted loss per share does not assume the conversion of the Company's redeemable convertible preferred shares and the effect of share options granted under the 2016 Share Incentive Plan as these would be anti-dilutive.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the computation of diluted loss per share does not assume the effect of share options granted under the 2016 Share Incentive Plan, and the Company's Listed Warrants and Promoter Warrants as these would be anti-dilutive.

11. DIVIDENDS

No dividend was paid or declared by the Company during the current year.

According to CIC, the global non-automotive LiDAR market is expected to grow from US$1.3 billion in 2025 to US$9.2 billion by 2030.

The convergence of increasing automotive adoption and the expansion of non-automotive applications is expected to broaden the addressable market and support the long-term growth of the LiDAR industry.


  1. Overall Business Performance

In 2025, we continued to focus on the commercialization and large-scale deployment of our image-grade LiDAR products and solutions across multiple application scenarios. Our business performance was driven by the deliveries for automotive OEMs and continued scaling of mass production, and the strategic diversification of our customer base. Beyond the automotive sector, we have achieved market penetration into high-growth verticals such as robotics and smart infrastructure. This broadening of our application scenarios not only enhances our revenue resilience but also positions us to capture emerging opportunities.

Commercialization and Product Portfolio

During the Reporting Period, we have established a comprehensive product portfolio encompassing LiDAR sensor hardware and proprietary software solutions. Our hardware offerings include the Falcon, Robin and Hummingbird series, designed to address a broad range of ADAS/ADS, robotics and other intelligent system applications. In parallel, we have developed our proprietary OmniVidi software platform, which cooperates with our LiDAR hardware and enables customers to process raw information detected and informs machineries of the detected objects.

Through modular product architecture and versatile system-level integration capabilities, we can provide high-performance solutions to customers across automotive, robotics and intelligent infrastructure sectors.

Customer Diversification and Commercial Progress

During the Reporting Period, we continued to strengthen our customer diversification strategy to mitigate customer concentration risk and enhance revenue resilience. Leveraging our capabilities in product development, marketing, production and commercialization, we achieved meaningful progress in expanding our customer base beyond our core strategic customer, NIO.

In the ADAS sector, as of December 31, 2025, we have established strategic collaborations with additional 17 OEMs and ADAS/ADS companies, focusing on L2+/L3 intelligent driving programs across both passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle segments, covering more than 50 vehicle models in aggregate. These customers selected our LiDAR solutions for integration into their ADAS platforms.

Beyond ADAS, we further expanded into robotics and other non-automotive sectors. We secured collaboration with mobility service providers and robotics companies for applications including robotaxi, robovan, and other autonomous robotics applications such as autonomous lawn mowers. Our products were also deployed in smart infrastructure and mining scenarios, including highways, metro and railway systems. This strategic diversification broadens our total addressable market and reinforces the resilience of our long-term growth profile.

During the Reporting Period, we achieved substantial commercial milestones, with several new key customers such as a leading NEV company, Zelostech and Pony AI, formally commencing mass production and delivery. The steady ramp-up of these customer programs is expected to drive sustained shipment growth, revenue expansion, and progressive margin appreciation.

During the Reporting Period, we delivered approximately 332,500 LiDAR units, representing a year-on-year increase of 44.6% from approximately 230,000 units in 2024. The growth was primarily attributable to the first large-scale mass production of the Robin series, with deliveries increasing from 11,589 units in 2024 to 137,822 units in 2025. As the Group's core strategic customer, NIO's procurement volume increased from 223,737 units in 2024 to 286,482 units in 2025. Meanwhile, as diversification efforts progressed, several non-NIO customers commenced mass production and delivery. As a result, NIO's contribution to total deliveries decreased from 97.3% in 2024 to 86.2% in 2025, reflecting a further improvement in our customer mix.

Operations and R&D

In terms of operations, we have continuously strengthened our manufacturing capabilities and supply chain management to support stable and scaled product delivery. During the Reporting Period, we focused on improving production efficiency, yield rates and quality control processes, while strictly adhering to automotive-grade standards and certification requirements. These efforts supported the smooth progress of existing customer projects and established a solid foundation for future mass production demand.

In R&D, we maintained a high level of investment, focusing on product performance enhancement, reliability optimization and cost reduction initiatives. Our R&D roadmap is closely aligned with market demand and next-generation product planning. Management believes that sustained R&D investment is critical to strengthening our competitive advantage in the LiDAR market.

Overall, during the Reporting Period, we achieved significant progress in business expansion and operational capability enhancement. We diversified our product portfolio and customer base, substantially increased delivery volume and achieved a positive annual gross profit margin for the first time, with gross margin improving from negative 8.7% in 2024 to positive 7.9% in 2025.

  1. Prospects and Outlook

Looking ahead, management believes that artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies are increasingly extending into real-world physical environments. As intelligent systems continue to advance in environmental perception, spatial modeling and autonomous decision-making, demand for high-precision, real-time and reliable 3D sensing capabilities is expected to grow. LiDAR, as a core sensor capable of generating high-resolution spatial depth data and structural environmental information, is well positioned to serve as a critical infrastructure layer connecting AI systems with the physical world.

From an application perspective, in addition to the ongoing mass production in automotive intelligent driving programs, robotics, intelligent equipment, industrial automation and smart infrastructure are expected to create broader application opportunities for LiDAR deployment. We will continue to iterate on our core optical architecture, signal processing algorithms, system integration capabilities and advanced SPAD technology application, while maintaining strategic focus and actively exploring emerging application scenarios. As these sectors mature, management believes that non-automotive businesses may become an increasingly meaningful contributor to our revenue base and facilitate optimization of our revenue structure.

With respect to international expansion, we have established operations in multiple countries and regions and will continue to evaluate global market opportunities. As demand for intelligent sensing solutions increases across different geographies, we intend to deepen global customer engagement and business development initiatives. We believe that global expansion may provide additional growth drivers and enhance our long-term profitability profile.

Operationally, we remain committed to R&D excellence and scalable delivery. We expect that design optimization, increased vertical integration, and economies of scale will drive continuous cost structure improvements. Furthermore, the diversification of our application scenarios is expected to favourably impact our overall margin profile. While we recorded a net loss during the Reporting Period, management anticipates a progressive path to profitability driven by increasing shipment volumes, an optimized product-customer mix, and the successful commercialization of R&D innovations.

Against this backdrop, we have continued to see strong execution in the near term.

20


In the first quarter of 2026, we maintained strong shipment momentum and delivered approximately 170,000 units, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 310%. The Falcon series contributed over 60,000 units, while the Robin series contributed approximately 110,000 units, reflecting continued adoption across our product portfolio. Based on our preliminary and unaudited financial information, we expect total revenues for the first quarter of 2026 to be approximately US$55 million, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 117%, further demonstrating the strong conversion of shipment growth into revenue expansion.

For the full year of 2026, based on current customer programs, order visibility and delivery schedules, we currently believe the total LiDAR shipments to increase approximately 200% compared to 2025. This outlook is subject to customer production plans, program execution and broader market conditions. We also expect our high-resolution SPAD-based and fully solid-state LiDAR solutions to progressively enter mass production during the year, which may support future growth.

As of March 31, 2026, our designed annual production capacity was approximately 1.2 million units. To support anticipated demand, we plan to expand capacity by an additional 1 million units during 2026, subject to implementation progress and market conditions. This expansion is expected to include a dedicated production line for the Hummingbird series, which we believe will enhance our ability to address emerging opportunities in robotics applications.

The above targets are based on the Company's current expectations, assumptions and business outlook, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially.

We remain mindful of technological shifts, fluctuating customer schedules, and macroeconomic variables. Consequently, we will continue to strengthen risk management and enhance operational efficiency through disciplined expansion.

Given the long-term convergence of AI and physical systems, coupled with our scalable delivery foundation, management remains confident in our long-term prospects. We stay focused on advancing global commercialization and achieving sustainable profitability.

  1. Fair value changes of financial liabilities at FVTPL

Our fair value changes of financial liabilities at FVTPL include (i) fair value changes of redeemable convertible preferred shares; (ii) fair value changes of listed warrants liabilities; (iii) fair value changes of promoter warrant liabilities; and (iv) fair value changes of redeemable preferred equity. Our fair value changes of financial liabilities at FVTPL decreased by 39.5% from US$312.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$188.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to the decrease in fair value changes of redeemable convertible preferred shares amounting to US$117.2 million, which were driven by a smaller change in fair value of redeemable convertible preferred shares. As our redeemable convertible preferred shares were converted into ordinary shares upon the completion of the De-SPAC Transaction, and no further loss or gain related was recognised afterwards.

  1. Professional fees and expenses related to De-SPAC Transaction

We had professional fees and expenses of US$7.1 million in 2025 in connection with our De-SPAC transaction, as compared to US$2.5 million in 2024.

  1. De-SPAC Transaction expenses arising from capital reorganisation

De-SPAC Transaction expenses arising from capital reorganisation mainly due to the completion of the De-SPAC transaction, TechStar’s promoters and certain shareholders were deemed to have been issued shares and warrants at a fair value exceeding the net asset value acquired by the Company. This difference of US$57.1 million was recognised as De-SPAC transaction expenses arising from capital reorganisation at the time of listing on December 10, 2025.

  1. Finance costs

Finance costs increased significantly by 221.8% from US$2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, this increase was primarily due to the interest expenses incurred from borrowings and long-term payables.

  1. Loss for the year

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss decreased by 17.6% from US$398.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$328.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.


28

15. Non-IFRS measure

Our consolidated financial information was prepared in accordance with IFRS. To supplement our consolidated results which were prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, we use adjusted net loss (Non-IFRS measure) as an additional financial measure, which is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS. We believe that the measure facilitates comparisons of operating performance from period to period and company to company by eliminating the potential impact of items, such as certain non-cash items. The use of the Non-IFRS measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation from, as a substitute for, analysis of, or superior to, our results of operations or financial condition as reported under IFRS. In addition, the Non-IFRS measure may be defined differently from similar terms used by other companies, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. We define adjusted net loss (Non-IFRS measure) as loss for the year adjusted by adding back fair value changes of financial instruments at FVTPL, share-based compensation, professional fees and expenses related to De-SPAC Transaction, De-SPAC Transaction expenses arising from capital reorganisation and impairment losses recognised on property and equipment. Our fair value changes of financial instruments at FVTPL primarily relates to fair value changes of our redeemable convertible preferred shares. As our redeemable convertible preferred shares shall be converted into ordinary shares upon the completion of the De-SPAC Transaction, and no further loss or gain related is expected to be recognised afterwards. In addition, share-based payment expenses are non-cash in nature and do not result in cash outflow, and the adjustments have been consistently made during the Reporting Period. Impairment losses recognised on property and equipment is mainly due to one-off impairment of specific production line, which is non-cash in nature and do not result in cash outflow. We also exclude professional fees and expenses related to De-SPAC Transaction and De-SPAC Transaction expenses arising from capital reorganisation.

The following table reconciles our adjusted net loss (Non-IFRS measure) for the periods presented with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, which is net loss for the years:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We monitor and maintain a level of liquidity deemed adequate to finance our operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. As of December 31, 2025, we had US$119.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted bank balances, as compared to US$51.5 million as of December 31, 2024. The Group continued to adopt a prudent funding and treasury policy to manage its liquidity needs. The objective is to maintain adequate funds for financing working capital and capture investment opportunities as and when they become available.

  1. Net cash used in operating activities

During the Reporting Period, our net cash used in operating activities was US$70.1 million, representing an increase from US$46.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our net cash used in operating activities in 2025 is calculated by adjusting our loss for the year of US$328.1 million by non-cash and other items to arrive at an operating loss before changes in working capital of US$45.6 million.

  1. Net cash used in investing activities

During the Reporting Period, our net cash used in investing activities was US$21.9 million, representing an increase from US$7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to purchase of property and equipment, purchase of intangible assets, purchase of financial assets at FVTPL and placement of restricted bank deposits for bank acceptance bills and borrowings of total US$24.6 million, partially offset by withdrawal of financial assets at FVTPL of US$2.4 million.

  1. Net cash from (used in) financing activities

During the Reporting Period, our net cash from financing activities was US$154.5 million, primarily due to proceeds from PIPE and PEF investors, net of transaction costs directly attributable to issue of new shares of US$112.4 million, new borrowings raised of US$54.8 million, proceeds from issuance of redeemable preferred equity financing of US$11.3 million and net cashflow from Capital Reorganisation of US$15.2 million, partially offset by repayment of borrowings and interest of total US$36.6 million, and payment of accrued issue costs of US$6.5 million.

  1. Borrowings

The amount of our borrowings is adjusted based on our operation and capital expenditure need. Our balance for borrowing was US$65.4 million as of December 31, 2025, of which US$22.6 million were secured and guaranteed and the remaining US$42.8 million were unsecured and unguaranteed. Our bank borrowings were primarily used to fund our working capital requirements.

As of December 31, 2025, we had utilized facilities in the amount of US$65.4 million, and committed unutilized banking facilities of US$64.7 million, which can be drawn down without being restricted by any loan covenants.


  1. Lease liabilities

Our lease liabilities are in relation to properties that we lease primarily for our office premises and production facilities. As of December 31, 2025, we recognised total lease liabilities, including current and non-current lease liabilities of US$5.6 million, as compared to that of US$7.4 million as of December 31, 2024, due to the fact that the remaining lease terms shortened and we terminated a portion of our leases as well.

  1. Trade and other payables

Our trade and bill payables arise from payment obligations during our regular course of business. Our trade and bill payables further increased from US$62.7 million as of December 31, 2024 to US$86.9 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily due to an extension of the payment period and the growth in business volume.

Other payables primarily include salary and bonus payables, accrued legal and professional expenses, accrued listing expense and payables for acquisition of property and equipment. Our other payables further increased from US$14.4 million as of December 31, 2024 to US$20.3 million as of December 31, 2025, which resulted in an increase of US$4.4 million in salary and bonus payables. Meanwhile, our payables for acquisition of property and equipment also increased by US$1.3 million compared with year 2024. All of the above increases are consistent with our business growth.

  1. Treasury Policy

The Group adheres to a prudent treasury policy, with core objectives of maintaining a strong balance sheet, ensuring sufficient liquidity, and optimizing funding costs. If our cash requirements exceed the liquidity we hold at the time, our Company may seek credit facilities and external borrowings or issue securities as it considers necessary and appropriate.

  1. Gearing ratio

As of December 31, 2025, the Group’s gearing ratio (equals total liabilities divided by total assets, in percentage) was 82.9% (As of December 31, 2024: 650.2%).

As of December 31, 2025, we had pledged a wholly-owned subsidiary, Tudatong (Chongqing) Co., Ltd.’s shares and certain of bank deposits as security for the Group’s borrowings and bank acceptance bills.

  1. Contingent liabilities

On October 29, 2025 and December 17, 2025, the Group is involved in several patent infringement lawsuits. As the likelihood of an outflow of economic benefits is considered low, no contingent liability was recognised as at December 31, 2025. The Group does not believe the plaintiff has a merit, and will closely monitor the progress of the case and record a liability when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

  1. Capital commitments

We have no capital commitment as of December 31, 2025.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

The Board is committed to maintaining high corporate governance standards. The Board believes that high corporate governance standards are essential in providing a framework for the Company to safeguard the interests of shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders"), enhance corporate value, formulate its business strategies and policies, and enhance its transparency and accountability.

The Company has adopted the principles and code provisions of the Corporate Governance Code (the "CG Code") contained in Appendix C1 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the "Listing Rules") on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") as its own code of corporate governance.

Since the shares of the Company (the "Shares") were listed on the Stock Exchange on December 10, 2025 (the "Listing Date"), the CG Code was not applicable to the Company prior to the Listing Date. During the period from the Listing Date to December 31, 2025 (the "Relevant Period"), the Company has complied with all the applicable code provisions of the CG Code, save as disclosed below.


Pursuant to code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code, companies listed on the Stock Exchange are expected to comply with, but may choose to deviate from the requirement that the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. The Company does not have separate Chairman of the Board and chief executive officer and Dr. Bao Junwei (“Dr. Bao”), the Chairman of the Board and chief executive officer of the Company, currently performs these two roles.

The Board believes that, in view of Dr. Bao’s experience, personal profile and roles in the Company as mentioned above, Dr. Bao is the Director best suited to identify strategic opportunities and focus of the Board due to his extensive understanding of the business as the chief executive officer of the Company. The Board also believes that the combined role of Chairman of the Board and chief executive officer can promote the effective execution of strategic initiatives and facilitate the flow of information between management and the Board. The Board will continue to review and consider splitting the roles of Chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer at a time when it is appropriate by taking into account the circumstances of the Group as a whole. The Group aims to implement a high standard of corporate governance, which is crucial to safeguard the interests of the Shareholders.

Since the Shares of the Company were listed on the Stock Exchange on the Listing Date, the Code of Conduct was not applicable to the Directors prior to the Listing Date. Specific enquiries have been made of all the Directors and all the Directors have confirmed that they have complied with the Code of Conduct during the Relevant Period.
