Notes:
(a) Under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda ("Companies Act"), share premium is distributable to shareholders, subject to the condition that the Company cannot declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out of share premium and other reserves if (i) it is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or (ii) the realisable value of its assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital account.
(b) As stipulated by the relevant laws and regulations for foreign investment enterprises in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), the Company's PRC subsidiaries are required to maintain statutory reserves which are non-distributable. Appropriations to statutory surplus reserve are made out of net profit after taxation reported in the statutory financial statements of the PRC subsidiaries while the amounts and allocation basis are required to be 10% of the annual profit after tax. The statutory reserve fund can be used to make up their prior year losses, if any, and can be applied in conversion into capital by means of capitalisation issue and for expanding the capital base of the PRC subsidiaries by means of capitalisation issue.
(c) On 30 September 2017, Mr. Hung Yung Lai, being the chairman, executive director and controlling shareholder of the Company at that time, waived the balance due to him of approximately RMB786,000. The amount has been capitalised as shareholder's contribution. On 6 July 2022, Goldcorp Industrial Limited, an immediate holding company, transferred certain Company's shares to employees of the Group and such transfer was accounted for as a share-based payment transaction under IFRS 2 Share-based Payment and included in shareholder's contribution.

| Amendments to IFRS 21 | Lack of Exchangeability |
|---|---|

New and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective
The Group has not early applied the following new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective:
| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 | Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments² |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 | Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity² |
| Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 | Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture¹ |
| Amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards IFRS 18 | Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11² |
| Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements³ |

Except for the new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards mentioned below, the directors of the Company anticipate that the application of all other new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the foreseeable future.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which sets out requirements on presentation and disclosures in financial statements, will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This new IFRS Accounting Standard, while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1, introduces new requirements to present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss; provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures in the notes to the financial statements and improve aggregation and disaggregation of information to be disclosed in the financial statements. In addition, some IAS 1 paragraphs have been moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7. Minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share are also made.
IFRS 18, and amendments to other standards, will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with early application permitted. IFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions. The application of the new standard is not expected to have significant impact on the financial performance and positions of the Group in terms of recognition and measurement. However, it is expected to affect the structure and presentation of the consolidated statement of profit or loss and disclosures in the future financial statements. The Group is in the process of assessing the detailed impact of IFRS 18 on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

(ii) Performance obligations for contracts with customers
Provision of technical and other support services (revenue recognised at one point in time)
The Group provides technical and other support service, e.g. financial outsourcing services, software system upgrades and interface development services mainly to banks. Such services are recognised as a performance obligation satisfied at one point in time because the contract specifies the unit price and quantitative unit of each type of performance obligation, and the consideration is based on the number of units completed when the Group completes for each performance obligation, i.e., the point at which the customer obtains control of a quantitative unit of service and has a present obligation to pay. Revenue is recognised for these technical and other support services based on the point at which the service is confirmed.
Sales of hardware products (revenue recognised at one point in time)
The Group sells hardware products, e.g. POS machines mainly to banks and high-tech companies directly.
For sales of hardware products, revenue is recognised when control of the goods has transferred, being when the goods have been delivered to customers' specific location. The normal credit term is 90 to 180 days upon delivery.
Sales of software products with maintenance services (multiple performance obligations)
The Group sells software products, e.g. POS-MIS mainly to banks and high-tech companies directly, and revenue is recognised at a point in time when control of software products has transferred, being when the software products have been delivered to customers' specific location and installed for use. In addition, the Group provided subsequent maintenance service after the installation, which is considered to be a distinct service as it is both regularly supplied by the Group to other customers on a stand-alone basis and is available for customers from other providers in the market. Transaction price is allocated between sales of software products and the maintenance services on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Revenue relating to the maintenance services is recognised over time and would be recognised as a separate performance obligation for provision of services and included as development, installation and maintenance of payment software system. The transaction price allocated to these services is recognised on a straight line basis over the period of service.
(iii) Transaction price for sales of software products with maintenance services allocated to the remaining performance obligations for contracts with customers
The transaction price for sales of software products with maintenance services allocated to the remaining performance obligations (unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied) as at 31 December 2025 and 2024 and the expected timing of recognising revenue are as follows:
| | 2025
RMB'000 | 2024
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Within one year | 163 | 242 |
| More than one year but not more than two years | 115 | 148 |
| More than two years | 66 | 159 |
| | 344 | 549 |
All the other revenue are for periods of one year or less. As permitted under IFRS 15, the transaction price allocated to these unsatisfied contracts is not disclosed.

4. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Information reported to the Company’s executive directors, being the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on types of goods or services delivered or provided.
Specifically, the Group’s reportable and operating segments under IFRS 8 Operating Segments are as follows:
- Sales of software products
- Sales of hardware products
- Provision of technical and other support services

|---|---|---|---|---|
| For the year ended 31 December 2025 | ||||
| External sales and total revenue | ||||
| – segment revenue | 2,529 | 3,370 | 36,032 | 41,931 |
| SEGMENT RESULTS | (971) | (2,124) | (6,480) | (9,575) |
| Other income | 358 | |||
| Other gains and losses | 1,128 | |||
| Unallocated corporate expenses | (2,909) | |||
| Finance costs | (1,053) | |||
| Group’s loss before tax | (12,051) | |||
| For the year ended 31 December 2024 | ||||

| Unallocated corporate expenses | (2,973) | |||
| Finance costs | (1,048) | |||
| Group’s loss before tax | (11,617) |
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the Group's accounting policies. Segment results represents the loss incurred by each segment without allocation of finance costs, unallocated corporate expenses, other income and other gains and losses. This is the measure reported to the CODM for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment.
The CODM makes decisions according to operating results of each segment. No analysis of segment asset and segment liability is presented as the CODM does not regularly review such information for the purposes of resources allocation and performance assessment. Therefore, only segment revenue and segment results are presented.

| | 2025
RMB'000 | 2024
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Loss for the year attributable to owners of the Company

BUSINESS REVIEW
Overall Business of the Group in 2025
In 2025, the fintech and services industry operated against a backdrop of macroeconomic pressures and continued regulatory tightening. Financial institutions adopted a more prudent risk appetite, leading to tightened capital expenditures and a slowdown in project implementation, which caused moderate demand pressures within the industry. Meanwhile, increasingly stringent requirements regarding data security and independent controllability, combined with the deeper application of technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, are accelerating the industry's evolution towards intelligence. In terms of industry competition, market concentration further intensified, with leading players consolidating their positions through technological and scale advantages. Meanwhile homogenized competition increased, bringing significant operational pressures on small and medium-sized enterprises. Overall, despite short-term pressures, the industry's medium- to long-term prospects remain promising, as the application of AI technologies and the digital transformation of the financial sector will continue to bring development opportunities for the Group.
Against the above operating environment, the Group's performance also faced challenges. During the year, revenue growth from traditional businesses encountered challenges, while delays in the delivery of certain projects and extended collection cycles exerted pressure on the Group's profitability. For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group recorded a loss of approximately RMB12,051,000 (2024: approximately RMB11,617,000), representing a year-on-year 3.7% change compared to the previous year.
In response to external uncertainties, the Group adhered to an operating strategy focused on "stabilizing foundations, adjusting structures, and pursuing incremental growth", by continuing to advance business transformation and capability building. In terms of products, the Group consistently increased research and development investments in our core payment and fintech products, promoting product standardization and scalable replication, while also strengthening the integration of products with more application scenarios. Additionally, the Group introduced artificial intelligence technologies to enhance internal operational efficiency and product capabilities, gradually building a new product system driven by AI, founded on payment technologies, and oriented around application scenarios. Regarding the market, the Group continued to optimize our client structure, actively expanding our base of financial institution clients and high-value application scenarios, thereby improving project quality and client stickiness. In terms of business model, the Group persistently explored more sustainable revenue models, driving the transition of our revenue structure from a project-based approach towards product-based and platform-based models.
Overall, 2025 was a pivotal year for the Group in proactively making adjustments and deepening our transformation under challenging conditions. Although operating data experienced short-term pressures during the year, the Group has laid a solid foundation for future business recovery and the pursuit of high-quality development through continuous optimization of the business structure and enhancement of core capabilities.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Looking ahead, with the normalization of regulations and ongoing technological advancements, the fintech and services industry is expected to gradually improve from short-term pressures towards structural recovery. At the same time, it is anticipated that financial institutions will progressively resume their investments in information technology when the risks are controlled. Furthermore, the deeper application of artificial intelligence technologies and the digital transformation of the financial sector will continue to provide sustained momentum for the industry.
The Group will continue to adhere to the development strategy driven by technological innovation, centered on product capabilities, and oriented around customer value. We will persistently advance the development of our core product system and the expansion of application scenarios, facilitating the gradual recovery and structural optimization of our business. Moreover, the Group will accelerate the enhancement of our productization and platform-based capabilities, optimize our revenue structure and profitability model, and strengthen refined management and cost control to improve overall operational efficiency and risk resilience.
The Group will actively seize industry development opportunities, pursuing definitive growth amidst an uncertain external environment. We are committed to transitioning from a "scale-oriented" approach to one focused on "quality and efficiency", guiding the Group towards a more robust and sustainable phase of development.
