NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year ended December 31, 2025

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Company was incorporated in Bermuda on August 3, 2000 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda with its registered office at Victoria Place, 5/F, 31 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM10, Bermuda. Its principal place of business is located at 24/F, Wyler Centre, Phase 2, 200 Tai Lin Pai Road, Kwai Chung, New Territories, Hong Kong. The issued ordinary shares of the Company are listed and traded on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the "SGX-ST") and the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "SEHK"). The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in Hong Kong dollars which is also the functional currency of the Company. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand except otherwise indicated.

The immediate holding company of the Company is Texin (HongKong) Electronics Co. Limited, which is in turn wholly owned by Shanghai YCT Electronics Group Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai YCT"), a company incorporated in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") with its shares listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding and the Company's subsidiaries are principally engaged in the trading of electronic components.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain properties and financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as disclosed in the accounting policies in the group annual financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2024.

Other than additional accounting policies resulting from the application of amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS Accounting Standards") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB"), the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 are the same as those presented in the Group's annual financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2024.

During the last period, the Group changed its financial year ended date from March 31 to December 31 to align with the financial year end of its ultimate controlling shareholder, Shanghai YCT, following the close of the voluntary unconditional cash offers made by Texin as announced by the Company on September 27, 2024. The current period of consolidated financial statements covers a twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025 and the comparative financial statements cover a nine-month period ended December 31, 2024. The comparative amounts are therefore not entirely comparable.

{10}------------------------------------------------

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

New and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards that are mandatorily effective for the current year

In the current year, the Group has applied the following amended IFRS Accounting Standards for the first time, which are mandatorily effective for the Group's current period beginning on January 1, 2025 for the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements:

Amendments to IAS 21 Lack of exchangeability

Amendments to IAS 21 specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency and how it shall estimate a spot exchange rate at a measurement date when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments require disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to understand the impact of a currency not being exchangeable. As the currencies that the Group had transacted in and the functional currencies of overseas subsidiaries and associates for translation into the Group's presentation currency were exchangeable, the amendments did not have any impact on the Group's financial statements. The adoption of the standard did not have any material effect on the financial statements of the Group.

New and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective

The Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRS accounting standards, that have been issued but are not yet effective

  • 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027
  • 3 No mandatory effective date yet determined but available for adoption

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW

For the year ended December 31, 2025 ("FY2025"), the Group recorded a profit attributable to owners of the Company of HK\$51.0 million, compared to the net attributable loss of HK\$61.6 million posted in the preceding nine months ended December 31, 2024 (the "Preceding Financial Year").

The significant improvement in the Group's financial performance during the FY2025 was mainly attributable to: (i) general improvement in gross profit margin for the FY2025 as compared with the Preceding Financial Year 2024 primarily due to the introduction and scaling of higher-margin product lines, the development of higher-profit clients through new trade models, and increased supplier incentives from delivering strong performance in the FY2025; (ii) a net reversal of allowance for inventory for the FY2025 as compared to stock provision made for the slow-moving inventories in the Preceding Financial Year 2024; and (iii) net impairment reversals of certain trade receivables of the Group in the FY2025.

To mitigate operational risks associated with obsolete inventory, the Group implemented proactive inventories reduction initiatives. The Group recorded a net reversal of allowance for inventories amounting approximately 46.3 million in the FY2025, compared to the impairment of inventories amounting approximately HK\$26.1 million in the Preceding Financial Year. This strategic destocking effort accelerated cash recovery and enhanced liquidity management, thereby contributing to further improvement in the Group's operating performance.

Revenue

The Group's revenue increased by 28.9% to HK\$2,358.3 million as all the Group's segments reported stronger sales in the year ended December 31, 2025, except the segment of lighting, as compared to revenue of HK\$1,828.9 million in the Preceding Financial Year.

Automotive

The Automotive segment has emerged as the Group's largest revenue generator, contributing sales of HK\$711.7 million in FY2025. This was a 45.0% increase in revenue as compared to the Preceding Financial Year. The Group will deepen our engagement in the automotive segment by closely collaborating with tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers to secure a greater share of business.

Industrial

Revenue from the Industrial segment increased 20.3% to HK\$593.2 million in FY2025 as compared to the Preceding Financial Year. Driven by the expansion into new robotics and new energy clients, the Group is actively developing tailored solutions and strengthening our market position in these high-growth sectors.

Home Appliance

Revenue from the Home Appliance segment increased 12.8% to HK\$358.9 million in FY2025 as compared to the Preceding Financial Year. The growth was significantly supported by government subsidy programs, which effectively stimulated consumer spending and market demand.

{28}------------------------------------------------

EMS

The EMS segment recorded an increase in revenue of 45.5% to HK\$220.7 million in FY2025, as compared to the Preceding Financial Year. The significant growth is primarily attributed to the successful introduction and scaling of new product lines, which have rapidly gained market traction. The expansion into these new offerings has effectively broadened the Group's client base and contributed substantially to the segment's improved performance.

Telecommunications

Revenue from the Telecommunication segment increased by 83.3% to HK\$145.1 million in FY2025, as compared to the Preceding Financial Year. The significant growth was primarily driven by a substantial increase in the Group's market share within the mobile phone sector.

Dealer

The Dealer segment recorded an increase in revenue of 6.2% to HK\$144.6 million in FY2025 as compared to the Preceding Financial Year. The growth was primarily driven by an expansion in trading business activities, which contributed additional sales volume.

Audio and Video

Revenue from the Audio and Video segment increased by 8.3% to HK\$122.1 million in FY2025, as compared to the Preceding Financial Year. The growth was mainly due to an increase in market share for the Group's Audio products.

Others

Revenue from the others segment increased significantly by 93.3% to HK\$32.1 million in FY2025, compared to the Preceding Financial Year. The remarkable growth was primarily driven by the successful introduction and market entry of new product lines.

Lighting

Revenue from the lighting segment declined by 1.1% to HK\$29.8 million in FY2025, as compared to the Preceding Financial Year. The slight decrease was primarily due to intensified competition from domestic brands and the reduction of certain loss-making business lines.

{29}------------------------------------------------

Gross Profit Margin

The Group's gross profit margin increased to 9.3% in FY2025 from 3.7% in the Preceding Financial Year primarily due to a net reversal of allowance for inventories of HK\$46.3 million made in FY2025, compared to a stock provision of HK\$26.1 million in the Preceding Financial Year. The net reversal of allowances for inventories was mainly attributable to (i) the improved pricing due to recovering market demand; and (ii) the successful efforts to clear aged inventories.

Excluding the net reversal of allowances for inventories and net stock provision, the adjusted gross profit margin in FY2025 would have been 7.3%, compared to 5.2% in the Preceding Financial Year.

Other Income

Other income increased by HK\$4.7 million to HK\$7.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 from HK\$3.0 million in the Preceding Financial Year, mainly due to the increase in rental income incurred in FY2025.

Distribution Costs

Distribution costs increased by approximately HK\$4.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 to HK\$18.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 from HK\$14.1 million in the Preceding Financial Year. The increase was mainly due to the increased sales and the increased sales incentive expenses.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses increased by approximately HK\$32.0 million or 30.0% to HK\$138.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 from HK\$106.5 million in the Preceding Financial Year. This increase was primarily attributable to higher staff costs, driven by (i) an increase in performance bonuses and incentives; and (ii) severance payments related to the Group's staff optimization program.

Other Gains and Losses

Other losses of HK\$2.7 million were incurred in the year ended December 31, 2025 (nine months ended December 31, 2024: Other gains HK\$0.1 million). This was primarily due to exchange losses from fluctuations in the Renminbi ("RMB") against the US dollar ("USD") and Hong Kong dollar ("HKD") during FY2025, compared to greater stability in the Preceding Financial Year.

Impairment Losses Reversed (Recognised) Under Expected Credit Loss Model, Net

There was a reversal of net impairment losses of HK\$6.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 (nine months ended December 31, 2024: HK\$7.8 million), which was mainly represented the reversal of impairment losses on trade receivables in the Preceding Financial Year due to collection from credit impaired trade receivables which has been fully provided in the prior period.

{30}------------------------------------------------

Finance Costs

Finance costs, which comprises interest expenses on trust receipt loans and bank borrowings, interest on lease liabilities and interest on loans from the ultimate holding company, slightly increased by HK\$1.0 million or 3.6% to HK\$27.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 from HK\$26.9 million in the Preceding Financial Year.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

Financial Position

Trust receipt loans decreased by HK\$65.0 million to HK\$75.0 million as at December 31, 2025, from HK\$140.0 million as at December 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to the group's strategic refinancing of debt, whereby higher-interest-rate trust receipt facilities were replaced with lower-cost bank loans.

Trade payables decreased to HK\$222.4 million as at December 31, 2025, from HK\$323.0 million as at December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to the higher repayment to suppliers towards the end of the financial period under review as compared to the Preceding Financial Year.

Trade receivables decreased by HK\$16.6 million to HK\$691.8 million as at December 31, 2025, from HK\$708.4 million as at December 31, 2024. The Group generally allows an average credit period of 30 to 120 days to its trade customers. The debtor turnover days remained stable to 3.6 months as at December 31, 2025, reflecting consistent credit management practices and aligned customer payment behaviours under the group's tightened collection policies.

As at December 31, 2025, the Group's current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) was 1.35 (December 31, 2024: 1.20).

Inventories

Inventories decreased to HK\$335.2 million as at December 31, 2025, from HK\$417.9 million as at December 31, 2024. The inventory turnover days decreased to 1.9 months as at December 31, 2025, from 2.2 months as at December 31, 2024. The significant reduction in inventory value was primarily driven by the Group's proactive inventory clearance initiatives, which included targeted promotional campaigns and accelerated liquidation of slow-moving stock.

{31}------------------------------------------------

Cash Flow

As at December 31, 2025 the Group had a working capital of HK\$296.8 million which included a cash balance of HK\$112.0 million, compared to a working capital of HK\$200.6 million which included a cash balance of HK\$41.4 million as at December 31, 2024. The increase in cash by HK\$70.6 million was primarily attributable to the net effect of cash inflow of HK\$239.2 million generated from operating activities and cash outflow of HK\$156.8 million used in financing activities. The Group's cash balance was mainly denominated in USD, RMB and HKD.

Cash inflow generated from operating activities was mainly due to the net effect of the decrease in trade payables, inventories and trade receivables.

Cash outflow used in financing activities was mainly attributable to the net effect of the decrease in loans from ultimate holding company, the decrease in trust receipt loans and the increase in bank borrowings during the period under review.

Borrowings and Banking Facilities

As at December 31, 2025, the Group had bank borrowings of HK\$460.5 million, which were repayable within one year. Among the Group's bank borrowings, 81.0% was denominated in RMB and the remainder was denominated in HKD. As at December 31, 2025, the fixed-rate bank borrowings and the variable-rate bank borrowings accounted for 86.4% and 13.6%, respectively. The fixed-rate bank borrowings bore interest at a weighted average effective rate of 3.14% per annum, while variable-rate bank borrowings bore interest at a weighted average effective rate of 4.18% per annum.

As at December 31, 2025, trust receipt loans of HK\$75.0 million were secured and repayable within one year and bore interest at a weighted average effective rate of 6.39% per annum. 100% of the trust receipt loans was denominated in HKD. As at December 31, 2025, the Group had unutilised banking facilities of HK\$219.7 million (December 31, 2024: HK\$314.6 million).

The aggregate amount of the Group's bank borrowings and debt securities was as follows:

Amount repayable in one year or less, or on demand

As at December 31, 2025 As at December 31, 2024
Secured Unsecured Secured Unsecured
HK\$'000 HK\$'000 HK\$'000 HK\$'000

As at December 31, 2025 As at December 31, 2024
Secured Unsecured Secured Unsecured

As at December 31, 2025, the Group's trade receivables amounting to HK\$149.8 million (December 31, 2024: HK\$21.4 million) were transferred to banks by discounting those trade receivables and bills receivables amounting to HK\$20.3 million (December 31, 2024: HK\$55.5 million) on a full recourse basis. As the Group had not transferred the significant risks and rewards relating to these receivables, it had continued to recognise the full carrying amount of the receivables and had recognised the cash received on the transfer as secured borrowings amounting to HK\$140.1 million (December 31, 2024: HK\$72.6 million).

As at December 31, 2025, the Group's remaining secured bank borrowings amounted to HK\$24.7 million (December 31, 2024: HK\$67.3 million) had been secured by the pledge of office premise and the certain bills receivables held by the Group amounted to nil (December 31, 2024: HK\$10.7 million).

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

The Group operates in Hong Kong, the PRC and Taiwan. It incurred foreign currency risk mainly on sales and purchases that were denominated in currencies other than its functional currencies. Sales are mainly denominated in USD, RMB and HKD whereas purchases are mainly denominated in USD, Japanese yen ("JPY"), RMB and HKD. Therefore, the exposure in foreign exchange rate risks mainly arises from fluctuations in foreign currencies against the functional currencies. Given the pegged foreign exchange rate between HKD and USD, the exposure of entities that use HKD as their respective functional currencies to the fluctuations in USD is minimal. However, foreign exchange rate fluctuations between RMB and USD, RMB and JPY, HKD and JPY, or Taiwan dollars and USD could affect the Group's performance and asset value. The Group has a foreign currency hedging policy to monitor and maintain its foreign exchange exposure at an acceptable level.

Net Gearing Ratio

As at December 31, 2025, the Group's net gearing ratio was 94.0% (December 31, 2024: 139.9%). The net gearing ratio was derived by dividing net debts (representing interest-bearing bank borrowings, trust receipt loans, loans from the ultimate holding company and bills payables minus cash and cash equivalents) by shareholders' equity at the end of a given period and multiplied by 100%. The decrease was mainly due to decrease in loans from the ultimate holding company, increases in cash and cash equivalents and shareholders' equity.

{33}------------------------------------------------

Proceeds from the placing of shares

On July 15, 2025, the Company issued 15,000,000 ordinary shares (the "2025 Placing") at an issue price of HK\$2.66 (equivalent to approximately S\$0.44 based on the exchange rate of S\$ to HK\$ of S\$1 to HK\$6.09 as at the date of the 2025 Placing) per share. As a result, the Company received net proceeds of approximately HK\$39.6 million (equivalent to approximately S\$6.5 million) after deduction of the related expenses. As at 31 December 2025, all net proceeds from the 2025 Placing have been fully utilized as planned. Approximately HK\$23.7 million, representing approximately 60.0% of the net proceeds from the 2025 Placing, was utilized for the repayment of bank borrowings and trust receipt loans; approximately HK\$11.9 million, representing approximately 30.0% of the net proceeds from the 2025 Placing, was utilized for payments to suppliers for inventories and the remaining amount of approximately HK\$4.0 million, representing approximately 10.0% of the net proceeds from the 2025 Placing, was utilized for the Group's general working capital, all of which was for staff costs.

STRATEGY AND PROSPECTS

Moving forward, our core strategy for growth centers on two key initiatives: targeted expansion of our customer base and the enhancement of our product portfolio. We will actively pursue new clients within strategic segments, including Industrial and EMS, to diversify our revenue sources and mitigate market-specific risks. Concurrently, we are committed to introducing a more competitive range of product lines.

Specifically, our business development efforts will focus on penetrating defined high-potential verticals within the industrial automation and EMS manufacturing sectors. This involves tailoring our sales and technical support to meet the specific supply chain and engineering requirements of clients in these fields. On the product front, we will systematically introduce new lines that offer technological advantages or better cost-performance ratios.

This includes sourcing and developing products under both domestic and international brands to create a diversified and compelling portfolio for our customers. By combining this expanded client reach with a stronger product offering, we aim to capture a larger market share. Our outlook is positive, as this dual approach is designed to build a more resilient and profitable business foundation for sustainable growth in the coming years.

{36}------------------------------------------------

COMPLIANCE WITH CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODES

The Board and the Company's management are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance. The Board firmly believes that conducting the Group's business in a transparent and responsible manner and following good corporate governance practices serve its long-term interests and those of the Shareholders. The Board considers that during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had complied with all the code provisions set out in the Corporate Governance Code as contained in Part 2 of Appendix C1 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the SEHK (the "HK Listing Rules" and the "HK CG Code", respectively) and the Code of Corporate Governance 2018 of Singapore (the "Singapore CG Code") except those stated in paragraph 3 of this section.

In the event of any conflict among the HK CG Code, the Singapore CG Code and the bye-laws of the Company, the Company will comply with the most onerous provisions. As such, the Board considers that sufficient measures are in place to ensure the adequateness of the Company's corporate governance practices relating to, amongst others, the appointment, retirement and re-election of Directors (including independent non-executive Directors (the "INEDs")).

Provision C.2.1 of the HK CG Code stipulates that the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Provision 3.1 of the Singapore CG Code stipulates that the chairman and the chief executive officer are separate persons to ensure an appropriate balance of power, increased accountability, and greater capacity of the Board for independent decision making. Mr. Xie Lishu ("Mr. Xie") currently assumes the roles of both the chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company since October 22, 2025. Mr. Xie has extensive experience and in-depth knowledge in distribution of electronic components business. The Board believes that it is in the best interest of the Company to vest both roles in Mr. Xie, which provides the Group with strong and consistent leadership and allows for more effective and efficient business planning and decisions as well as execution of long-term business strategies of the Group. A lead independent director has been appointed to provide leadership in situations where conflict of interest potentially exists when the chairman executes his duties and INEDs have made up a majority of the Board. The Board believes that a balance of power and authority has been and will be maintained.

COMPLIANCE WITH HONG KONG MODEL CODE

The Company has adopted the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers as set out in Appendix C3 to the HK Listing Rules (the "HK Model Code") as its own code of conduct for dealing in the securities of the Company by the Directors. Following a specific enquiry made by the Company with each of the current Directors, all of them confirmed that they had complied with the required standards as set out in the HK Model Code throughout the year ended December 31, 2025.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF WILLAS-ARRAY ELECTRONICS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Willas-Array Electronics (Holdings) Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") set out on pages [•••] to [•••], which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

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

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (the "ISAs") as issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. 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 Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority ("ACRA") Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (the "ACRA Code"), as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest entities, together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to audits of the financial statements of public interest entities in Singapore.

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. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

{44}------------------------------------------------

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Impairment assessment of trade receivables

We identified impairment assessment of trade receivables as a key audit matter due to the significance of trade receivables to the Group's consolidated financial position and the involvement of subjective judgement and management estimates in evaluating the expected credit losses ("ECL") of the Group's trade receivables at the end of the reporting period.

As at December 31,2025, the Group's net t r a d e r e c e i v a b l e s a m o u n t i n g t o HK\$691,791,000, which represented approximately 51% of total assets of the Group and trade receivables amounting to HK\$ 186,025 ,000 were past due as disclosed in Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements.

A s d i s c l o s e d i n N o t e 4 4 t o t h e consolidated financial statements, the management of the Group estimates the a m o u n t o f l i f e t i m e E C L o f t r a d e receivables that are not credit-impaired based on loss rate approach through grouping of various debtors after considering internal credit ratings of trade debtors, aging and/or past due status of respective trade receivables. Estimated loss rates are based on historical observed default rates over the expected life of the d e b t o r s a n d a r e a d j u s t e d f o r forward-looking information. In addition, trade receivables that are credit-impaired are assessed for ECL individually. The l o s s a l l o w a n c e a m o u n t o f t h e credit-impaired trade receivables is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows with the consideration of expected future credit losses as at December 31, 2025.

Our audit procedures in relation to i m p a i r m e n t a s s e s s m e n t o f t r a d e receivables included but not limited to:

  • Understanding processes and key controls in relation to monitoring of trade receivables, including the process in determining whether a debtor is credit-impaired;
  • Reviewing trade receivables aging analysis and past due status to identify potential collectible issues and testing, on a sample basis, the data and inputs used to develop the aging analysis to the underlying supporting documents;
  • Assessing the appropriateness of management's basis and judgement used in identification and grouping of trade receivables into different categories of credit ratings and segregation of trade receivables into those that are credit-impaired and those that are not. This includes testing, on a sample basis, the data used by management to determine the debtor's credit rating to the relevant supporting documents;
  • Testing the reasonableness of the estimated loss rates by evaluating management's assumptions and inputs used in the computation of historical credit loss rates and reviewed data and information that management has used to make forward-looking adjustments such as e c o n o m i c d a t a a n d e x t e r n a l information;

Determination of net realisable value for inventories

We identified the determination of net realisable value for inventories as a key audit matter as the Group operates in a fast evolving industry where inventories comprise of electronic components which are subject to rapid technological changes and price changes. As such, significant management estimates and judgements are involved in determining the net realisable value for inventories.

T h e G r o u p m a k e s a l l o w a n c e f o r inventories based on an assessment of the net realisable value of inventories. Allowances are applied to inventories where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net realisable value is lower than cost.

The management of the Group reviewed the inventory aging report at the end of the reporting period to identify inventories that are slow-moving or obsolete and estimated the net realisable value for those items based on latest selling price.

As disclosed in Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements, as at December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the Group's inventories was HK\$335,204,000, net of a l l o w a n c e f o r i n v e n t o r i e s o f HK\$68,172,000.

Our audit procedures in relation to the determination of net realisable value for inventories included but not limited to:

  • Understanding and evaluating m a n a g e m e n t ' s b a s i s f o r t h e identification of slow-moving or obsolete inventories, and their assessment of net realisable value and allowance for inventories after taking into account latest sales made, including those sales made after the end of the reporting period, if any;
  • Engaging the internal information technology specialists to perform a computer assisted audit techniques exercise to test the accuracy of the inventories aging listed in the system generated report;
  • Testing the net realisable values of inventories, on a sample basis to the latest sales margin report. This includes identification of inventories that are selling at loss and assessing whether the allowance was properly provided for such inventories; and
  • Assessing the appropriateness of d i s c l o s u r e s r e g a r d i n g t h e determination of net realisable value for inventories in Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements.

Other information

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

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company 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 of the Company either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The directors of the Company are assisted by audit committee (the "Audit Committee") in discharging the directors' responsibilities for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

{48}------------------------------------------------

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. Our 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 the ISAs 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 the ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

{49}------------------------------------------------

  • 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 to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with 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 Mr. Low Bek Teng.
