958 INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

First of all, on behalf of YSB Inc. and the Board, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our shareholders, partners and all sectors of the community for their kind attention and tremendous support over the years.

There were both opportunities and challenges in China's pharmaceutical and healthcare industry in 2024. On one hand, the Government accelerated the advancement of the “Healthy China” initiative, promoting the accessibility of medical and healthcare services to all, and driving the industry toward innovative and quality development. The increasingly prominent trend of aging population, evolving health consumption concepts of residents, and the broadening application of technologies, including AI and big data, facilitated participants in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry to innovate their service models in order to offer diverse and differentiated health products and services, which has further expanded the boundaries of the pharmaceutical and healthcare market. On the other hand, the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry experienced a slow growth stage as a result of the impact of cyclical economic downturns, adjustments in medical insurance policies and other factors. For all participants in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry, the importance of enhancing quality and efficiency has become increasingly significant, undoubtedly imposing stricter requirements on us.

During the year, YSB Inc. forged ahead in a challenging market environment and firmly seized market opportunities. Leveraging its industry-leading omni-channel layout strategy, the Company carried out business innovation and service upgrades along the upstream and downstream of the pharmaceutical industry chain. By deepening collaborative partnerships with upstream and downstream partners, we reached a broader and more diverse user base, providing more convenient, efficient, professional and comprehensive digital solutions to over 820,000 downstream users. Through advancing user experience upgrades and promoting cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the industry, we continuously stimulated and released the potential of the industry chain with value co-creation and win-win collaboration, which injected new momentum into the growth of the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical and healthcare industry and further solidified the Company's leading position in the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical and healthcare industry.

Consolidating the Leading Position in Online Marketplace and Self-Operation Businesses, Continuously Exploring Business Growth Points

In 2024, leveraging user-oriented digital operational capabilities, we continued to gain insights into the demands of downstream users on our platform. By collaborating with merchants on the platform to enhance the diversity of products from suppliers, we have become the most preferred platform for third-party merchant partnership and downstream user procurement. Through continuous upgrades of our refined operational management system, we assisted merchants in refining their operational strategies, achieving win-win growth. During the Reporting Period, our “Supporting Programme for Helping A Thousand of Third-Party Merchants to Realise Monthly Sales More than One Million” has supported hundreds of small and medium-sized merchants. Meanwhile, suppliers on the platform have achieved product matrix diversity and quality improvement, precisely meeting the diverse demands of downstream users and driving continuous value enhancement of the platform. During the Reporting Period, the number of SKUs for non-pharmaceutical products on the platform increased by approximately 50%, and the procurement user base continued to expand. Significant achievements were also realised in category development, quality standardisation management, and market expansion of traditional Chinese medicine (“TCM”) decoction pieces on the platform. As of 31 December 2024, we have successfully introduced approximately 600 TCM decoction piece manufacturers, committing to strict quality control at the supply chain source. Moreover, we have established a new benchmark for TCM decoction piece delivery in the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical market (i.e. the “Jinfang standards”), driving continuous record-breaking growth in the number of procurement users for TCM decoction pieces, a sufficient proof of the market's high recognition and trust in our platform's TCM decoction piece products.

Chairman's Statement

During the Reporting Period, stronger supply chain management capabilities, a more efficient warehouse and logistics system as well as smarter digitalised operational models collectively formed a solid foundation for the development of our Self-operation Business. We have established close cooperation relationships with numerous renowned pharmaceutical brands and manufacturers, such as CR Sanjiu (華潤三九), Kenvue (China) (科赴中國) and Hengrui Pharmaceuticals (恒瑞醫藥), which not only guarantees the stable and quality supply of pharmaceutical and healthcare products, but also allows all parties to share growth in performance, achieving multi-win situation. In terms of warehousing and logistics, we continuously optimised our fulfillment service capabilities. During the Reporting Period, the proportion of half-day delivery orders increased to 68.9% from 58.6% for the same period of last year. While ensuring continuous improvement in delivery efficiency, we further optimised logistics fulfillment costs. Through ongoing iteration of our intelligent operational system, we are able to perform real-time monitoring more accurately on inventory data, sales data and market dynamics, enabling more refined management and optimisation of each section, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and reducing operating costs.

The Targeted Product Launch Business has propelled our Self-operation Business to a new level of high-quality development. Our exclusive strategic partnership brands together with our own brands (including "Leyaoshi (樂藥師)" and the own brands of Yikuai Pharmaceutical) have formed a key driving force for our Targeted Product Launch Business. During the Reporting Period, the number of SKUs for the products under our exclusive strategic partnership brands and own brands increased by approximately 700 from last year, with the corresponding transaction amounts increased by approximately 220% from last year, both achieving explosive growth. The breakthrough growth of this business has effectively enhanced the differentiated competitiveness and sustained profitability of YSB.

In addition, to accelerate the advancement of our own brand business, we successfully completed the main settlement for the 100% equity acquisition of "Yikuai Pharmaceutical" during the Reporting Period, with a total consideration of approximately RMB1.035 billion, of which the cash consideration was RMB420 million and share consideration was RMB615 million (valued at HK$12 per share). We believe that through this acquisition, YSB will further strengthen its own brand channels, deeply explore the establishment and expansion of its own brands and enrich its product and service offerings. This will provide downstream users with products that have differentiated competitive advantages to meet their diverse and personalised needs, thereby improving downstream users' operational efficiency and profitability, and securing a leading position in the intensively competitive and ever-changing market. Furthermore, the complementary downstream user bases of both parties, once being deeply integrated and shared, will accelerate the coverage and penetration of YSB in the small and medium-sized pharmacy chain market, injecting a strong catalyst into the expansion of our market share.

Chairman's Statement

BUILDING A NEW ECOSYSTEM OF CO-PROSPERITY BETWEEN COMMERCIAL AND SOCIAL VALUE WITH DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AS THE ENGINE

In 2024, we achieved deeper progress in our strategic layout for digital transformation and comprehensive empowerment of the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical services sector. We continuously refined and upgraded our SaaS solutions tailored for pharmaceutical companies, merchants, pharmacies and primary healthcare institutions. By integrating artificial intelligence, big data analytics and other technologies, we significantly enhanced the intelligent performance of our systems and user satisfaction. We continued to focus on the needs of primary healthcare and made a strong debut in the POCT auxiliary diagnosis market. We launched several point-of-care testing equipments suitable for the usage scenarios of primary healthcare institutions and continued to create overall solutions for "ClouMinihouse (光譜小屋)" primary smart healthcare system. The overall solutions for "ClouMinihouse (光譜小屋)" primary smart healthcare system integrate "FutureClou (未來光譜)", the point-of-care testing and monitoring devices, "Cloud Consultation (光譜雲診)", a SaaS digital clinic management system, and "ClouWiseDoctor (光譜智醫)", an AI doctors-aid system, fully empowering primary healthcare institutions and their doctors from hardware, software and intelligent assistance perspectives, enabling rapid screening and diagnosis of common and chronic diseases, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of primary healthcare services, facilitating the downward allocation of high-quality medical resources, and contributing to a more balanced and efficient distribution of medical resources.

We continued to deepen our efforts in public welfare and social responsibilities, actively exploring ESG practices to promote the high-quality development of the industry. Externally, we collaborated with industry partners to jointly develop the "First-tier Electronic Data Exchange Standard (首營電子資料交換數據標準)", contributing wisdom and effort to advancing industry standardisation and digitisation. We made sustained investments in improving primary healthcare levels, educating primary pharmaceutical workers and supporting public welfare education, working hand-in-hand with various parties to fulfill social responsibilities with solid actions. Internally, we significantly reduced carbon emissions and resource consumption in our operations by optimising the pharmaceutical supply chain, promoting green packaging and adopting energy-saving technologies. At the same time, we further enhanced our employee care programmes and implemented diversity and inclusion policies, providing employees with more career development opportunities and training resources, ensuring their ample room for growth within the Company. Based on these outstanding practices, we received various honors and awards during the Reporting Period, including "2024 Annual Capital Power Awards – Industry Influence Award (2024資本力量年度評選一行業影響力獎)", "2024 Most Socially Responsible Listed Company (2024最具社會責任上市公司)" and "2024 ESG Best Practice Enterprise in Social Responsibility (2024年度ESG最佳社會責任實踐企業)".

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Chairman's Statement

Looking ahead to 2025, in the context of China's accelerated efforts to build "Healthy China" and promote accessible healthcare, YSB will continue to strengthen and solidify the foundation of our existing Online Marketplace and Self-operation Business in the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical industry. Meanwhile, we will persistently advance the widespread adoption and deep application of AI technology along the upstream and downstream of the pharmaceutical industry chain, striving to achieve a leap in service quality and fully empower our users, further unlocking potential growth drivers and expanding our development horizons. Leveraging our outstanding digital technologies and operational power, we will remain committed to delivering accessible, convenient and efficient healthcare service experiences to millions of merchants, pharmacies and primary healthcare institutions.

While the dream may appear to be far beyond reach, it is still attainable with ceaseless endeavours. We would like to express our gratitude to our shareholders, partners, users, and various sectors of the community who have been accompanying the Company all the way with their long-term trust and support to YSB. It is your steadfast companionship and valuable suggestions that have enabled us to move forward in a challenging market environment. Going forward, we will continue to uphold the mission of "To make quality medical care and good medicine accessible to all (讓好醫好藥普惠可及)", leveraging innovative technology to build new momentum for the high-quality development of the Company, creating greater value for shareholders and contributing more to society.

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Business Outlook and Review

In 2024, Chinese government continued to promote the "Healthy China 2030 (健康中國2030)" strategy and the 14th Five-Year Plan, introducing a number of supporting policies to encourage the digital and intelligent transformation of the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. The promulgation of policies such as the "Guideline to Advance High-quality Development of Service Consumption (《關於促進服務消費高質量發展的意見》)" has clarified the functional positioning of retail pharmacies in health promotion, nutrition and health care. Consumers' demand for high-quality, personalised pharmaceutical products and services in chronic disease management, health and beauty management continued to increase, creating new growth opportunities for the industry. In addition, policies are driving the allocation of high-quality medical resources to grassroots levels, making the primary healthcare market a new growth area for the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. Meanwhile, the strengthening of the overall medical insurance policy and the enhanced supervision of the retail market are accelerating the industry reform. Against this backdrop, the Company has closely followed the policy guidance, increased investment in technological innovation, and deepened digital transformation. By continuously leveraging digital and intelligent procurement to reduce costs and increase efficiency, accelerating digital and intelligent logistics, and iteratively optimising digital and intelligent marketing, the Company has driven comprehensive business upgrades and built a more complete service ecosystem for outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical and healthcare.

During the Reporting Period, although we were challenged by the slowdown in the overall growth of the pharmaceutical retail market, our business achieved steady growth. We have consistently enhanced user experience, strengthened user loyalty and driven business growth by accurately understanding user needs, building a comprehensive service ecosystem and continuously optimising through digital empowerment. As of 31 December 2024, our cumulative number of registered buyers was over 827,000, including 491,000 pharmacies and 330,000 primary healthcare institutions. During the Reporting Period, we had an average number of monthly active buyers ("MAB") of 433,000, representing a year-on-year increase of 18.0%. The average number of monthly paying buyers ("MPB") reached 401,000, representing a year-on-year increase of 17.2%. Our paying ratio, i.e. the proportion of average number of MPB to average number of MAB, reached 92.7%, and the average number of orders per paying buyer per month was around 28.5.

ONLINE MARKETPLACE

As a leading digital service platform for the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical industry in China, we continued to strengthen the construction of our digital capabilities, optimise user experience, and solidify the platform's service offerings, further improving user satisfaction and market competitiveness.

During the Reporting Period, we comprehensively improved the diversity of products on our platform to cover a wider range of customer needs and scenarios. Through big data analysis and user needs insight, our platform meticulously curated product selections, optimised and expanded categories to ensure that listed products are aligned with market demands. During the Reporting Period, the average monthly SKUs on the platform continued to grow by approximately 400,000 to more than 3,900,000, greatly meeting the diverse needs of users. In response to the consumption upgrading trend of traditional Chinese medicine ("TCM") decoction pieces, our platform has comprehensively improved the scale and quality of the TCM decoction pieces business by optimising suppliers, promoting Jinfang standards, and strengthening user education and coverage. During the Reporting Period, we provided over 130,000 SKUs of TCM decoction pieces to our downstream customers with sales amounting to approximately RMB2,073 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 62.8%. During the Reporting Period, our platform established profound cooperative relationships with a number of well-known TCM decoction pieces manufacturers to ensure stable product quality and supply continuity. By directly connecting with TCM decoction pieces manufacturers, our platform reduced intermediate links, lowered costs, and simultaneously guaranteed the high quality of products. The platform rigorously adheres to stringent quality control standards for TCM decoction pieces, and has completed the formulation of a total of 271 Jinfang standards as of 31 December 2024.

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Business Outlook and Review

At the same time, we are always committed to building a more prosperous and diverse user ecosystem. On one hand, we have successfully attracted a large number of high-quality third-party sellers to join the platform through operational strategy support, technical empowerment and ecological co-construction, and helped them achieve business growth through a complete service system. On the other hand, we have enhanced user experience across all dimensions by optimising platform functions and conducting diverse marketing activities. The influence of the platform among downstream user groups continues to rise, and user activity and loyalty have increased significantly. As of the end of 2024, we attracted 15,000 upstream sellers and over 820,000 downstream buyers to transact on our platform.

We charge upstream sellers a commission based on a certain percentage of their sales on our Online Marketplace. The average Online Marketplace commission rate we charged was 3.2% and 3.3% for 2023 and 2024, respectively. Accordingly, our Online Marketplace provides subsidies in the form of coupon to our downstream buyers. Our Online Marketplace subsidy ratio was 0.6% for 2024, which was on a par with 2023, without compromising platform retention rate and transaction level.

GENERAL SELF-OPERATION BUSINESS

During the Reporting Period, we focused on comprehensive advancement in the four core dimensions of "more, quicker, better, and economical", continuously enhancing the operating capabilities of our Self-operation Business and achieving steady development in this segment. The business is conducted through our self-operated online digital stores, which is committed to providing convenient, efficient and high-quality medical and health services to downstream users.

In the dimension of "more", we further refined the overall category layout of our Self-operation Business during the Reporting Period. Based on the transaction history on our Online Marketplace and underpinned by our big data analysis of buyers' demand and transaction preference, we are able to make procurement decisions based on downstream demand, select SKUs with higher frequencies of purchase and better quality, and exercise a higher level of quality control over products on our own. We not only further introduced treatment drugs for various common diseases, but also enriched related categories such as medical devices and tonics to meet the diversified health procurement needs of downstream users. By establishing partnerships with more high-quality suppliers, we have continuously expanded our product categories, offering users a broader selection. As of 31 December 2024, the number of suppliers of our Self-operation Business amounted to 11,600, representing an increase of over 1,100 suppliers as compared to the same period of last year. During the Reporting Period, our Self-operation Business provided an average monthly SKUs of 350,000 to downstream buyers, representing an increase of 9,000 as compared to the same period of last year.

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Business Outlook and Review

"Quicker" is reflected in the continuous optimisation of our smart supply chain system during the Reporting Period. We have established efficient procurement, warehousing and logistics and distribution systems to achieve rapid performance in relation to medical and health products. We have further improved logistics efficiency and achieved faster order processing and distribution, especially in remote areas and grassroots markets, which has significantly improved distribution efficiency and met the immediate needs of end users. During the Reporting Period, we achieved an average warehouse dispatch time of around 3 hours, with inter-provincial delivery of around 38 hours for cities and around 49 hours for towns. As the intra-city delivery business became increasingly mature, we have launched intra-city delivery services in certain cities where our main warehouses are located and in surrounding cities. We established a logistics platform to organise vehicles and monitor the services and efficiency of the entire process covering loading, transportation and delivery. As of 31 December 2024, we had opened a total of over 146 logistics routes across 15 cities nationwide, and achieved half-day delivery and same-day delivery for intra-city orders. Thanks to the optimised route planning and improved delivery efficiency, the per-unit fulfilment costs of our self-operation warehouses for intra-city (equal to the sum of the total delivery charges per delivery shift/the number of users in a single delivery shift) has dropped by 12.87%. In terms of delivery efficiency, the proportion of orders were delivered within only half a day from placement of orders to delivery has increased from 58.6% for 2023 to 68.9% for 2024. Such fast and fabulous procurement experience significantly increased the variety and frequency of purchases from our downstream customers. Moreover, we have also piloted the delivery services via medical cold chains in Guangzhou and Foshan, where 93.5% of orders were delivered within only half a day from placement of orders to delivery, further increasing the coverage and speed of our supply to downstream users.

"Better" is the bottom line of quality that we always adhere to. Starting from the source of pharmaceutical and health product procurement, we rigorously control quality by partnering with suppliers that have comprehensive qualifications and good reputation. During the Reporting Period, we further upgraded our supplier service platform and successfully achieved data interaction with the internal systems of the Company, ensuring real-time updates and sharing of key data such as supplier information, order information, and order status. The platform promoted the flow and sharing of information among various nodes in the supply chain, and improved the response speed and flexibility of the overall supply chain. Meanwhile, we have optimised the service efficiency of the flow management system and achieved full traceability of pharmaceutical and healthcare product sales channels to ensure their safety and compliance. Thanks to this stringent control of quality, our product return rate continued to decline during the Reporting Period, representing a decrease from 0.5% for the same period of last year to 0.4%.

"Economical" is an important manifestation of the value we create for users. During the Reporting Period, we further strengthened the direct supply model from manufacturers. By purchasing directly with manufacturers, we continued to optimise procurement channels and reduce operating costs, enabling us to provide pharmaceutical and healthcare products to downstream users at more competitive prices. During the Reporting Period, we carried out official group cooperation with leading pharmaceutical manufacturers such as CR Sanjiu (華潤三九), Huahai Pharmaceutical (華海藥業), and Hengrui Pharmaceuticals to shorten the supply chain from pharmaceutical manufacturers directly to the extensive outside-of-hospital market. Through cooperation with CR Sanjiu (華潤三九), we provided users with more cost-effective and channel-focused exclusive products. By deepening our partnership with Qilu Pharmaceutical (齊魯製藥), we have introduced more high-quality medications from Qilu Pharmaceutical, opening up a high-efficiency and cost-effective channel from pharmaceutical companies to end users. In addition, we have also launched a series of promotional activities such as free shipping for single items and subsidies from pharmaceutical companies, and a membership system, allowing downstream users to enjoy premium services at a more affordable price.

Business Outlook and Review

TARGETED PRODUCT LAUNCH BUSINESS

Leveraging years of deep experience and keen insight in both Online Marketplace and General Self-operation Business, we are able to accurately identify products with broad market demand prospects. Based on such insight, on one hand, we actively sought to establish in-depth cooperation with pharmaceutical companies, aiming to promote their products customised for downstream needs to a broader market, thereby turning potential market opportunities into sales performance. On the other hand, leveraging the brand influence and channel advantages we have built, we strategically promoted the expansion of our own brand "Leyaoshi" products, and committed to launching our own brand products with high-quality and diverse categories that closely meet the market demand in order to meet the diversified needs of a wider range of downstream users. Through this dual-drive approach, we not only created value for our partners, but also provided downstream users with higher quality and more diverse pharmaceutical and health product options, continuously driving the Company's business growth. With the accelerated coverage of the products of our exclusive strategic partnership brands and our own brand "Leyaoshi" in the outside-of-hospital pharmaceutical market, we significantly enhanced our brand influence, strengthened our market competitiveness and further expanded our market share. During the Reporting Period, the financial results of Yikuai Pharmaceutical in December 2024 had been consolidated, and its core business had been included in the Targeted Product Launch Business. The transaction amounts of our Targeted Product Launch Business totaled to RMB1,157 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.8%.

In the process of synergistic development with the partner pharmaceutical companies which carried out our Targeted Product Launch Business, we developed a comprehensive, refined and professional service system with our profound industry insight and professional ability. We integrated online and offline resources and planned comprehensive promotional activities to rapidly increase product awareness and market popularity. Meanwhile, we have set up an efficient market feedback mechanism to continuously track product performance and gather feedback from end users. Based on the market dynamics and competitive situation, we promptly adjusted our marketing strategies, providing comprehensive strategic support to our partner pharmaceutical companies from brand communication and channel expansion to promotion planning. During the Reporting Period, we collaborated with approximately 500 pharmaceutical companies to launch promotion campaigns, covering 11 products each with sales exceeding RMB10 million.

During the Reporting Period, we focused the strategic layout of our Targeted Product Launch Business on expanding the coverage of our exclusive strategic partnership brands and our own brands (including "Leyaoshi" and the own brands of Yikuai Pharmaceutical) in downstream pharmacies and primary healthcare institutions, driving deep penetration of our brand influence. As of 31 December 2024, the number of SKUs for the products under our exclusive strategic partnership brands and own brands was more than 830, with a growth of over 720 in 2024. In 2024, the transaction amounts of our exclusive strategic partnership brands and own brands amounted to RMB651 million, representing a year-on-year growth of approximately 152% and an increase from approximately 24% for 2023 to approximately 56% of the transaction amounts of our Targeted Product Launch Business.

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Business Outlook and Review

In terms of the expansion of our own brands, by upholding quality and safety and based on the actual needs of downstream pharmacies and primary healthcare institutions, we are committed to continuously identifying products with the potential to become channel bestsellers and comprehensively enhancing the product coverage of our own brands and use these measures as the key to differentiating ourselves from competition and enhancing profitability. Meanwhile, we utilise digital marketing to promote the brand concept and product advantages of our own brands through channels such as targeted advertising, social media platforms, and collaboration with benchmark offline image stores. As of 31 December 2024, the number of products under our own brands exceeded 760, which signifies a better product ecosystem with our efforts. We has successfully become a new force in terminal pharmaceutical sales with an accumulated number of over 370,000 purchasing customers. During the Reporting Period, the transaction amounts of our brand products soared by approximately 220% year-on-year, and accounted for approximately 44% of the transaction amounts of our Targeted Product Launch Business. Among which, the key single product "Leyaoshi Huoxiang Zhengqi Kou Fu Ye (樂藥師藿香正氣口服液)" launched in 2024 had covered 115,000 end users and achieved annual sales of more than RMB38 million.

In order to accelerate the business development of our own brands, we entered into a transaction agreement for the acquisition of 100% equity interest in "Yikuai Pharmaceutical" at a total consideration of RMB1,035 million by way of shares issuance and partial cash payment and completed the main settlement for the acquisition during the Reporting Period. For details, please refer to the announcements of the Company dated 15 October 2024, 28 October 2024 and 26 November 2024 (collectively the "2024 Announcements"). This acquisition marked a key step towards the Company's "Go Upstream (向上走)" strategy aiming at the efficient resource integration and strength complementarity of both parties, which further enriched the Company's product and service portfolio, particularly the significant improvement in the synergies in drug categories, supply chain capabilities, and market coverage. As of 31 December 2024, "Yikuai Pharmaceutical" had a total of 8 sub-brands, comprising Yuandian (元典), Antaibang (安泰邦), Futai (輔太), Peitong (培彤), Duoweijia (多維佳), Shizhenling (時珍令), BoWei (博為), XinglinTai (杏林泰) and its major purchasers are chain pharmacies, which has effectively injected new vitality into the development of our Targeted Product Launch Business and accelerated the breakthrough of our Targeted Product Launch Business in terms of product development, marketing and channel penetration. This not only deepened the layout of our pharmaceutical industry chain, but also significantly enhanced our core competitiveness in the industry, facilitating the Company's moves in tapping into higher value-added sectors and driving its high-quality growth and construction of a closed-loop industry ecosystem.

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Business Outlook and Review

Leveraging our platform's vast user base and extensive market data, we have accurately identified potential demands within common and critical application scenarios in primary healthcare, such as disease prevention, acute disease treatment, chronic disease rehabilitation, severe disease screening, as well as epidemic monitoring and treatment. Based on these precise insights, we launched three "FutureClou (未來光譜)" series point-of-care testing devices in August 2024, namely Clou Immuno Cube (光譜免疫小方盒), Clou Chronic Disease Analyzer (光譜慢病檢測儀), and Clou Micro Hematology Analyzer (光譜微型血球儀). These devices feature immediate testing, multi-parameter analysis, compact size, and ease of operation, significantly enhancing the efficiency of primary healthcare testing and quickly gaining market recognition. Within just about four months from their launches to 31 December 2024, these three devices covered more than 11,000 end users and have more than 14,000 units being put into use with their powerful functions and excellent performance. They played a crucial role in various diagnostic and treatment scenarios, such as chronic disease monitoring, acute infection diagnosis, and respiratory pathogen diagnosis, effectively empowering primary healthcare services. By providing more comprehensive and accurate diagnostic information, these devices facilitated precise medication use by primary care doctors, thereby improving the quality and effectiveness of primary healthcare services and safeguarding the health of general grass-roots patients.

We continued to optimise and upgrade the "Cloud Consultation (光譜雲診)" SaaS service for primary healthcare institutions. Focusing on intelligence and convenience, the service integrated features such as quick clinical reception, consultation and prescription, patient management, and pharmaceuticals management, and connected to the local medical insurance system, providing a comprehensive digital solution for primary healthcare institutions and enhancing the operational and management efficiency of primary healthcare institutions. Such services have been well received by many clients including Western medical clinics, Chinese medical clinics and combined medical clinics. As of 31 December 2024, there were more than 660 paying users of "Cloud Consultation". During the Reporting Period, we accelerated the integration and development of the medical insurance and healthcare inspection system in our pilot cities, and completed the integration with the medical insurance system in Guangdong, Shandong and Jilin provinces, and the integration with the healthcare inspection system in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan.

YSB eLEARN

During the Reporting Period, we continued to make efforts in improving the service capability of pharmacists to better meet the needs of end customers. Since 2015, we had innovatively introduced mobile pharmaceutical training classrooms, aiming to strengthen the professional knowledge and practical skills of pharmacists through systematic training. We offer comprehensive online training sessions covering pharmaceutical theory, clinical practice and regulatory knowledge to help prospective pharmacists prepare for the Pharmacist Licensure Examination efficiently. Meanwhile, we actively facilitated the communication among pharmaceutical companies and pharmacists, and regularly invited well-known pharmaceutical companies to hold online introductory sessions to help pharmacists gain an in-depth understanding of the latest pharmaceuticals information, clinical application and market dynamics, which in turn enhances their professional judgment and services in practice. As of 31 December 2024, we provided online training to approximately 299,000 pharmacists and prospective pharmacists.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Our self-developed smart supply chain management system is an integral key player in the continuous expansion of business scale. Relying on advanced algorithm technology and the profound insights accumulated from extensive transacting on our Self-operation Business and Online Marketplace, we have successfully realised the in-depth integration and comprehensive consolidation of the front and back ends of the supply chain, which covers the whole process of procurement, warehousing and delivery, driving the intelligent upgrading and substantial enhancement of the efficiency throughout the supply chain system. During the Reporting Period, we were able to guarantee an order can be processed and completed for delivery with approximately 3 hours on average, much faster than the industry level. During the Reporting Period, by leveraging on smart supply chain management, we maintained payable turnover days at around 66.1 days, inventory turnover days at around 33.4 days and receivable turnover days at around 1.3 days. Accordingly, our cash conversion cycle was around -31.5 days, and the operating cash flow remained net inflow in the long run. The quick turnover business model not only significantly improves our cash management efficiency, but also brings considerable idle cash to the platform, which greatly improves our liquidity and provides a solid guarantee for us to safely and quickly scale up our business. Meanwhile, the availability of idle cash also brings us extra revenue streams in addition to higher gross profit, further improving the overall profitability and driving the sustainable development of our business.

In terms of payment, our platform offers innovative supply chain financial services to downstream buyers. We use advanced digital technology to efficiently integrate business, logistics, information flow and capital, through which we have built a full-chain financial service ecosystem linking up upstream and downstream enterprises. With the support of our platform, third-party financial institutions offer tailor-made order financing products to downstream users, which ensures that loan funds are utilised according to their specific purposes and used only for the procurement on our platform, thereby enhancing the funds utilisation of downstream users and further promoting the value co-creation in the supply chain.

The Group's administrative expenses increased by 6.4% from RMB332.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to RMB354.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2024, mainly due to the increase in general corporate expenses, which includes professional services fees incurred in connection with our compliance with the Listing Rules, and acquisition-related expenses incurred in relation to our acquisition of Yikuai Pharmaceutical.

The Group recorded net other gains of RMB30.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 as compared to net other gains of RMB0.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2023.

In evaluating our business, we consider and use (i) Adjusted Net Profit; and (ii) Adjusted Net Profit margin as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. We define Adjusted Net Profit as profit/loss for the year adding back (i) changes in fair value of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; (ii) equity-settled share-based payment expenses; (iii) listing expenses; and (iv) acquisition-related expenses. We define Adjusted Net Profit margin as adjusted net profit divided by revenue. We present these non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Accordingly, we believe that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board. These non-IFRS financial measures are not defined under IFRS and are not presented in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. Further, these non-IFRS measures may differ from the non-IFRS information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to profit/loss or any other measure of performance. Investors are encouraged to review our historical non-IFRS financial measures in light of the most directly comparable IFRS measures, as shown below. The non-IFRS financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measure presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measures when analysing our data comparatively. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

The Adjusted Net Profit, which is unaudited, represents profit/loss for the year adding back (i) changes in fair value of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; (ii) equity-settled share-based payment expenses; (iii) listing expenses; and (iv) acquisition-related expenses. The Adjusted Net Profit of the Group increased from RMB130.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to RMB156.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2024, representing a year-on-year growth of 20.1%.

NET CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES

For the year ended 31 December 2024, net cash used in investing activities was RMB253.6 million. It was mainly due to proceeds from disposal of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of RMB12,269.6 million and the withdrawal of time deposits of RMB1,020.8 million during the Reporting Period.

Management Discussion and Analysis

FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE

For the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group mainly operated in China and the majority of the transactions were settled in Renminbi ("RMB"), the Company's primary Consolidated Affiliated Entities' functional currency. We are exposed to foreign exchange risk arising mainly from bank balances and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss denominated in foreign currency of certain entities of the Group. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities. The Group will monitor its foreign currency exposure and foreign exchange risk management strategies closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arises to minimise its foreign exchange risk.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Group had no material contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2024.

Additionally, as part of our ecosystem, we operate add-on services and ancillary businesses, including ClouDiagnos, SaaS Solutions, and YSB eLearn to improve the operating efficiency of our upstream and the downstream customers and partners, and to empower pharmacies and primary healthcare with market insights and professional knowledge to enhance their service capability and quality.

Contractual Arrangements

We engage in certain activities that are subject to foreign investment restrictions under PRC laws and regulations. These activities are namely: (a) development and application of gene diagnosis and treatment technologies, which is prohibited from any foreign investment; and (b) value-added telecommunications, which requires EDI (electronic data interchange and transaction processing) and ICP (internet content provider) licences that are subject to foreign investment restrictions; entities holding these licences must be approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC (中華人民共和國工業和信息化部).

As a result of these foreign investment restrictions under PRC laws and regulations, these businesses are operated by the Consolidated Affiliated Entities, which are in turn, controlled by us and from which we derive the economic benefits through a series of contractual arrangements. These contractual arrangements are narrowly tailored to achieve our business purpose and minimise the potential for conflict with relevant PRC laws and regulations.

Risks relating to the Contractual Arrangements and actions taken to mitigate the risks

We believe the following risks are associated with our contractual arrangements. Further details of these risks are set out in the "Risk Factors" section of the Prospectus.

(a) If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating our businesses in China do not comply with PRC regulations on foreign investment in internet and other related businesses, or if these regulations or their interpretation change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Report of Directors

(b) We rely on contractual arrangements with our consolidated affiliated entities and their shareholders for our operations in China, which may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct ownership.

(c) We may lose the ability to use and enjoy assets held by our consolidated affiliated entities that are important to our business if our consolidated affiliated entities declare bankruptcy or become subject to a dissolution or liquidation proceeding.

(d) Contractual arrangements we have entered into with our consolidated affiliated entities may be subject to scrutiny by the PRC tax authorities. A finding that we owe additional taxes could negatively affect our financial condition and the value of your investment.

(e) If the chops of our PRC subsidiaries, including our consolidated affiliated entities, are not kept safely, are stolen or are used by unauthorised persons or for unauthorised purposes, the corporate governance of these entities could be severely and adversely compromised.

(f) Substantial uncertainties exist with respect to how the Foreign Investment Law may impact the viability of our current corporate structure and operations.

SHARE INCENTIVE PLANS

Overview

Adoption

The Company had two share incentive plans in effect during the Reporting Period: (a) the 2019 Share Incentive Plan, which was adopted before our Listing and does not constitute a share scheme governed by Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules and under which we may not grant any new incentive units (or awards) after Listing; and (b) and the 2023 Share Incentive Plan (collectively, the "Plans"), which was adopted immediately prior to our Listing and constitutes a share scheme governed by Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

Purpose of the Plans

The purpose of both Plans is to, among others, attract and retain talent, provide incentives to participants under the Plans and to promote the success of our business by aligning the personal interests of participants with those of shareholders of our Company.

Awards

Under the 2019 Share Incentive Plan, we were able to grant options, unit purchase rights, or unit awards, with each option/unit entitling the holder to receive two Shares. Following our Listing, we have ceased granting any new incentive units (or awards) under the 2019 Share Incentive Plan. Under the 2023 Share Incentive Plan, we are able to grant options or restrictive share units (each being an award), with each entitling the holder to receive one newly issued or existing Share.

Notes:

(1) With respect to each award granted, upon each vesting date, the portion of the award that vests shall depend on the grantee meeting the vesting requirements, which are typically performance targets for a specified threshold in their performance evaluations during the one-year period prior to the vesting date, or upon successful completion of specified projects.

(2) The exercise period of these options commences from the vesting date of the relevant options and end on the tenth anniversary of the grant date thereof, subject to the terms of the 2019 Share Incentive Plan and the share option agreement signed by the grantee.

(3) No consideration was payable by grantees for these share options.

(4) The fair value of share options were calculated according to the binomial option pricing model.

Corporate Governance Report

The Board is pleased to present the corporate governance report for the Company for FY 2024.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

The Board is committed to achieving high corporate governance standards. The Board believes that high corporate governance standards are essential in providing a framework for the Group to safeguard the interests of shareholders and to enhance corporate value and accountability.

During FY 2024, the Company has adopted and complied with all applicable code provisions of the CG Code contained in Appendix C1 to the Listing Rules except for the deviation as set out below.

Code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code recommends, but does not require, that the roles of chairperson and chief executive to be separate and not to be performed by the same person. Our Company deviates from this provision as Mr. Buzhen Zhang performs both the roles of chairman of our Board and the chief executive officer of our Company. Mr. Zhang is the founder of the Company and a substantial shareholder, and has extensive experience in the business operations and management of our Group. Our Board believes that vesting the roles of both chairman and chief executive officer to Mr. Zhang has the benefit of ensuring consistent leadership within our Group and enables more effective and efficient overall strategic planning. This structure will enable our Company to make and implement decisions promptly and effectively. Our Board considers that the balance of power and authority will not be impaired due to this arrangement. In addition, all major decisions are made in consultation with members of our Board, including the relevant board committees, and our three independent non-executive Directors. Our Board will reassess the division of the roles of chairman and the chief executive officer from time-to-time, and may recommend dividing the two roles between different people in the future, taking into account the circumstances of our Group as a whole.

Code provision C.3.2 of the CG Code recommends, but does not require, that the functions reserved to the board and those delegated to management should be formalised. These arrangements should also be reviewed periodically to ensure that they remain appropriate to the issuer's needs. The Company did not review periodically the arrangement regarding the functions reserved to the board and those delegated to management. However, when a matter arises that requires decision, the Board will determine whether it should be reserved for the Board or delegate to the management to deal with.

The Company will continue to regularly review and monitor its corporate governance practices to ensure compliance with the CG Code, and maintain a high standard of corporate governance practices of the Company.

BOARD POLICIES AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FUNCTIONS

Board Diversity Policy

Our Company has adopted a board diversity policy ("Board Diversity Policy") which sets out the approach to achieve diversity of the Board. Our Company recognises and embraces the benefits of having a diverse Board and sees increasing diversity at the Board level, including gender diversity, as an essential element in maintaining the Company's competitive advantage and enhancing its ability to attract, retain and motivate employees from the widest possible pool of available talent. Pursuant to the Board Diversity Policy, in reviewing and assessing suitable candidates to serve as a Director of the Company, the Nomination Committee will consider a number of aspects, including, but not limited to, gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional qualifications, skills, knowledge, and industry and regional experience. Pursuant to the Board Diversity Policy, the Nomination Committee will discuss periodically and when necessary, agree on the measurable objectives for achieving diversity, including gender diversity, on the Board and recommend them to the Board for adoption.

The Nomination Committee has conducted an annual review of the Board Diversity Policy to ensure its effectiveness. The review results are satisfactory. The Nomination Committee and the Board consider that the current composition of the Board is sufficiently diverse and provided the Company with a good balance of skills, experience and diversity of perspectives appropriate to the requirements of its business, and accordingly have not set other measurable objectives.

Gender Diversity

The Company values gender diversity across all levels of the Group. Currently, the Board has one female Director and five male Directors, and the Group's Chief Executive Officer, representing its senior management, is male. The Board targeted to achieve and has achieved to have at least one female Director, and considers that the above current gender diversity in the Board is satisfactory. The Board will continue to embrace gender diversity when making future board appointments but no specific targets or timelines to further enhance gender diversity have been set as the Board is of the view that all aspects of diversity should be considered as a whole in the selection of candidates for directorship. The same approach to gender diversity at the Board level also applies to the Group's workforce, including its senior management. The following table sets out the gender ratio in the workforce of the Group, including the Board and senior management as at the date of this annual report:

	Female Percentage (number)	Male Percentage (number)
Board	16.7%
(1)	83.3%
(5)
Senior management	0.0%
(0)	100.0%
(2)
Other employees	42.2%
(2,851)	57.8%
(3,908)
Overall (Members of the Board and senior management included)	42.1%
(2,852)	57.9%
(3,915)

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Corporate Governance Report

We will implement policy to ensure gender diversity when recruiting staff to develop a pipeline of female senior management and potential successors to the Board. We will strive to enhance our female representation and achieve appropriate balance of gender diversity with reference to the stakeholders' expectation and international and local recommended best practices. Furthermore, we continue to embrace gender diversity aimed at identifying and training our female staff who display leadership and potential, with the goal of promoting them to the senior management or the Board. However, our Company currently does not consider it appropriate to set any specific gender target for its workforce. As an equal opportunity employer, our Company also takes into account other relevant factors in its hiring decisions, and we believe the gender ratio of our current workforce is appropriate for our current business model and operational needs.

Details on the gender ratio of the Group together with relevant data can be found in the Environmental, Social and Governance Report, which will be published at the same time as the publication of this annual report.

Director Nomination Policy

The Company has adopted a director nomination policy in accordance with the CG Code. The director nomination policy sets out the selection criteria and process and the Board's succession planning considerations in relation to nomination and appointment of Directors of the Company and aims to ensure that the Board has a balance of skills, experience, and diversity of perspectives appropriate to the requirements of the Company's business.

The Nomination Committee shall identify, consider, and recommend to the Board appropriate candidates to serve as Directors and to make recommendations to our Shareholders. The ultimate responsibility for selection and appointment of Directors rests with our entire Board.

The director nomination policy sets out the non-exhaustive factors for assessing the suitability and the potential contribution to the Board of a proposed candidate, including but not limited to the following:

reputation for integrity;
professional qualifications and skills;
accomplishment and experience in the industry of the Company;
commitment in respect of available time and relevant interest;
independence of proposed independent non-executive Directors; and
diversity of the Board in all aspects, including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, ethnicity, professional experience, skills, knowledge, and length of service.

The director nomination policy also sets out the procedures for the selection and appointment of new Directors and re-election of Directors at general meetings.

The Nomination Committee will review the director nomination policy, from time to time and as appropriate, to ensure its effectiveness.

958 INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Corporate Governance Report

Corporate Governance Function

The Board is responsible for performing the functions set out in code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code.

The Board would review the Company's corporate governance policies and practices, training and continuous professional development of the Directors and senior management, the Company's policies, and practices on compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and the Company's compliance with the CG Code and disclosure in its Corporate Governance Report.

The Directors are encouraged to participate in continuous professional development to develop and refresh their knowledge and skills. The company secretary of the Company may from time to time and as the circumstances require provide updated written training materials relating to the roles, functions, and duties of a director of a company listed on the Stock Exchange.

BOARD INDEPENDENCE EVALUATION MECHANISM

The Board has established mechanisms in accordance with the code provision B.1.4 of CG Code to ensure independent views and input from any Directors are conveyed to the Board. The Board includes a balanced composition of executive Directors and non-executive Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) so that there is a strong independent element on the Board, which enables it effectively exercise independent judgement. External independent professional advice is available as and when required by individual Directors. The Board reviews annually the implementation and effectiveness of the board independence mechanisms, including but not limited to assessing the independence of non-executive directors pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Board also evaluates the board composition and its independence with reference to the requirements under Listing Rules.

During FY 2024, the Board has completed the review for the implementation and effectiveness of the Board independence evaluation mechanism and concluded that the results were satisfactory.

Dividend Policy

The Company has adopted a dividend policy on payment of dividends in accordance with code provision F.1.1 of the CG Code.

The Company does not have any pre-determined dividend payout ratio. According to the dividend policy, payment of dividends depends on a number of factors, including our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Directors may deem relevant. Dividends may be proposed and/or declared by the Board during a financial year and any final dividend for a financial year will be subject to our Shareholders' approval.

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Corporate Governance Report

Additionally, we are a holding company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, the payment and amount of any future dividends will also depend on the availability of dividends received from our subsidiaries. PRC Laws require that dividends be paid only out of the profit for the year determined according to PRC accounting principles. When distributing the company's after-tax profits for the current year, after offsetting losses from previous fiscal years, PRC Laws also require companies to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits, if any, to fund its statutory reserves, which are not available for distribution as cash dividends, until such statutory reserves reaches 50% or more of the company's registered capital. Dividend distribution to our Shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period in which the dividends are approved by our Shareholders or Directors, where appropriate. As advised by our Cayman Islands counsel, under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either profits or share premium account. Even if there are accumulated losses, a dividend may be paid out of the share premium account, provided that the memorandum and articles of association do not prohibit such payment. In no circumstances may a dividend be declared or paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Risk Management and Internal Control

The Board acknowledges its responsibility for the Company's risk management and internal control systems and reviewing their effectiveness. The risk management and internal control measures are designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The Company recognises that risk management is critical to the success of the business operation. Accordingly, we have devoted ourselves to establishing and maintaining risk management and internal control systems consisting of policies and procedures that we consider to be appropriate for our business operations, and we are dedicated to continuously improving these systems. We have adopted and implemented comprehensive risk management policies in various aspects of our business operations, such as financial reporting, information system, internal control, and human resources, and have conducted regular (at least once a year) risk assessments to ensure the effective operation of our risk assessment management and internal control systems. During the Reporting Period, the Board conducted an annual review on the effectiveness on the risk management and internal control system of the Company and considered the system effective and adequate. The annual review also covered the financial reporting and internal audit function and staff qualifications, experiences and relevant resources.

The Audit Committee, and ultimately the Board, supervise the implementation of risk management policies. Risks identified by management will be analysed on the basis of likelihood and impact, and will be properly followed up and mitigated by the Group and the Board.

Some notable areas of risk management focus include:

Financial Risk Management

We have in place a set of accounting policies in connection with our financial reporting risk management, such as financial management policies, budget management policies, treasury management policies, tax management policies and accounting manual. We have various procedures and IT systems in place to implement our accounting policies, and our finance department reviews our management accounts based on such procedures. We also provide diverse training programs tailored for our finance department employees to ensure that they understand our financial management and accounting policies and implement them in our daily operations.

We have adopted and implemented various cybersecurity and data protection policies which set out technical and organisation measures to protect users' data privacy and security, including: Guidelines for Personal Information Protection Impact Assessment (《個人信息保護影響評估指引》), Guidelines for Vendor Data Protection Management (《供應商數據保護管理指引》), Network and Data Security Management Policy (《網絡及數據安全管理制度》), Emergency Response Plan for Network and Personal Data Security Incidents (《網絡與個人信息安全事件應急預案》), Network Failure Operation Manual (《網絡故障操作手冊》), Information Security Operation Protocol (《信息安全操作規範》), Account Password Management Policy (《賬號口令管理制度》), Response Plan for Business System Disaster (《業務系統整體災難應急預案》), Confidentiality Provisions (《保密條款》), Confidentiality Grading Management Protocol (《保密分級管理規範》) and the requirements on data breach and destruction of important files and data in our YSB Employee Handbook (《藥師幫員工手冊》). We have also promulgated and issued the Confidentiality and File Management System for Overseas Securities Offerings and Listings (《境外發行證券和上市相關保密和檔案管理工作制度》) and the Guidelines for the Provision of Due Diligence Data for Overseas Listings Projects (《境外上市項目盡調數據提供指引》) to meet the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, including the Regulations on Strengthening Confidentiality and File Management for Overseas Securities Offerings and Listings of Domestic Enterprises (《關於加強境內企業境外發行證券和上市相關保密和檔案管理工作的規定》). We have an internal team dedicated to formulating data protection policy and monitoring data security practices, and we hold relevant personnel accountable for unauthorised access and data breaches. We strictly comply with laws and regulations and do not distribute or sell personal data for any illegal or unauthorised purpose.

Information Security Measures. At the enterprise level, we established a systematic and universal account authorisation and management mechanism based on which we periodically review the status of accounts and the related authorisation information. We regularly perform security configuration assessment on our databases and servers and implement procedures for system log management. We have put in place a series of back-up management procedures. We set the frequency and time interval of back-up plans. We require that at least one of our back-up plans, such as local server back-up and offsite back-up, must be followed. We perform data recovery tests on a regular basis, and we retain relevant records. We provide information security training to our employees and conduct ongoing trainings, and we discuss any issues or necessary updates from time to time. We also have an emergency response mechanism to evaluate critical risks, formulate disaster response plans and perform emergency drills on a regular basis. Our information security department is responsible for ensuring that the usage, maintenance, and protection of data are in compliance with our internal rules and the applicable laws and regulations.

Internal Control Risk Management

We have designed and adopted strict internal procedures to ensure the compliance of our business operations with the relevant rules and regulations. Our internal control team works closely with our business units to (i) perform risk assessments and give advice on risk management strategies, (ii) improve business process efficiency and monitor internal control effectiveness, and (iii) promote risk awareness throughout our Company.

With regards to the management of legal and compliance risks, our in-house legal department performs the basic function of reviewing and updating the form of contracts we enter into with our consumers, merchants and relevant third parties. Our legal department examines the contract terms and reviews relevant documents for our business operations, and the necessary underlying due diligence materials, before we enter into any contract or business arrangements. In addition, our quality control teams under each business group are also responsible for reviewing the licences and permits of the relevant counterparties and proposed commercial terms before we enter into any contract or business arrangements. Our in-house legal department reviews our services for regulatory compliance before they are made available to the general public. Our in-house legal department and administrative department are responsible for obtaining any requisite governmental pre-approvals or consents, including preparing and submitting all necessary documents for filing with relevant government authorities within the prescribed regulatory timelines.

We have also developed disclosure procedures which provide general guidance for the Company's Directors, senior management and relevant employees on handling confidential information, monitoring information disclosure and responding to enquiries. The Company has implemented internal procedures to prevent any unauthorized access and use of inside information.

We review the implementation of our risk management policies and measures annually to ensure our policies and implementation are effective and sufficient.

Human Resources Risk Management

We provide regular and specialised training tailored to the needs of our employees in different departments. We have a training centre which regularly organises internal training sessions conducted by senior employees or outside consultants on topics of interest that employees can vote on. The training centre schedules regular online and classroom trainings, reviews the content of the trainings, follows up with employees to evaluate the impact of such training and rewards lecturers for positive feedback.

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Corporate Governance Report

We have in place an employee handbook and a code of conduct approved by our management and have distributed them to all our employees. The handbook contains internal rules and guidelines regarding work ethics, fraud prevention mechanisms, negligence and corruption. We provide employees with regular training, as well as resources to explain the guidelines contained in the employee handbook. We have in place an anti-bribery and corruption policy to safeguard against any corruption within our Company. The policy explains potential bribery and corruption conduct and our anti-bribery and corruption measures. We make our internal reporting channel open and available for our staff to report any bribery and corruption acts, and our staff can also make anonymous reports to our anti-fraud department. Our anti-fraud department is responsible for investigating the reported incidents and taking appropriate measures.

Anti-corruption and Bribery Risk Management

As we and our employees deal with a variety of third parties in our operations, we have implemented internal procedures with respect to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and conflict of interest matters. First, we have adopted a series of internal regulations against corruption, bribery, and fraudulent activities, which include measures against receiving bribes and kickbacks, and misappropriation of company assets. Second, our internal audit department carefully evaluates risk events of potential corruption and bribery and conducts investigations when necessary. Third, we have implemented clear and strict policies and guidelines that prohibit the acceptance of gifts, hospitality, and other offers by interested third parties. Employees are required to acknowledge and accept our internal code of business conduct and ethics that lists in detail relevant policies and regulations, including, but not limited to, clear definitions of bribery, corruption, and interested parties. Our internal audit department conducts internal audits regularly (at least once a year).

Audit Committee Experience and Qualification and Board Oversight

We have established the Audit Committee to monitor the implementation of our risk management policies across the Company on an ongoing basis to ensure that our internal control system is effective in identifying, managing and mitigating risks involved in our business operations. The Audit Committee consists of three members, being our independent non-executive Directors. For the professional qualifications and experiences of the members of our Audit Committee, see the section headed "Directors and Senior Management" in this annual report. We also maintain an internal audit department which is responsible for reviewing the effectiveness of internal controls and reporting to the Audit Committee and senior management on any issues identified. Our internal audit department members hold regular meetings (at least once a year) with management to discuss any internal control issues we face and the corresponding measures to implement toward resolving such issues. The internal audit department also reports regularly (at least about once in a half year) to the Audit Committee to ensure that any major issues identified are channelled to the committee on a timely basis. The Audit Committee then discusses the issues and reports to the Board, if necessary.

JOINT COMPANY SECRETARIES

Mr. Fei Chen and Ms. Emily Fung are the joint company secretaries of the Company. See "Directors and Senior Management" of this annual report for their biographies. Mr. Chen (executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of the Company) has been designated as the primary corporate contact person at the Company who would work and communicate with Ms. Fung on the Company's corporate governance and secretarial and administrative matters.

During the Reporting Year, Mr. Chen and Ms. Fung have each undertaken not less than 15 hours of relevant professional training respectively in compliance with Rule 3.29 of the Listing Rules.

Distribution of Corporate Communications to Shareholders

As part of the Company's initiatives to be more environmentally conscious, the Company has adopted new arrangements on dissemination of corporate communications on 23 February 2024 which allow the Company's transition to electronic communications. Under this new arrangement, we had not distribute printed copies of corporate communications to Shareholders by default.

Under this updated electronic communications method, the Company has sent an initial notification letter to the registered address of each Shareholder kept with the Hong Kong Branch Share Registrar. This letter detailed the updated electronic communications method and include a method by which Shareholders can notify/update the Company with its nominated functional email address and/or make a specific request for certain corporate communications to be delivered to them in printed form for a limited of time.

Corporate communications to Shareholders (including circulars and a copy of this report) and other information published by the Company (including financial results and announcements) can be viewed and downloaded at the below websites:

Putting Forward Enquiries to the Board and Contact Details

For putting forward any enquiries to the Board, Shareholders may send written enquiries to the Company in the following manner:

Attention: Joint Company Secretary of YSB Inc.

Post: Room 1910, 19/F, Lee Garden One, 33 Hysan Avenue, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

Subject: Enquiry from Shareholder of YSB Inc.

For the avoidance of doubt, Shareholders must deposit and send the original duly signed written requisition, notice or statement, or enquiry (as the case may be) to the above address and provide their full name, contact details and identification in order to give effect thereto. Shareholders’ information may be disclosed as required by law. The Company will not normally deal with verbal or anonymous enquiries.

Communication with Shareholders and Investors Relations

The Company considers that effective communication with Shareholders is essential for enhancing investor relations and investor understanding of the Group’s business performance and strategies. The Company has adopted a shareholders’ communication policy (the “Shareholders’ Communication Policy”), which aims to set out the approach of the Board to provide Shareholders of the Company and other stakeholders (including potential investors) information about the Company, in a fair and equal manner. In accordance with the Shareholders’ Communication Policy, the Company endeavours to maintain an ongoing dialogue with Shareholders and in particular, through annual general meetings and other general meetings, at which the Shareholders are able to communicate and share opinions with the Board, and exercise their voting rights. At the forthcoming annual general meeting, our Directors (or their delegates as appropriate) will be available to meet Shareholders and answer their enquiries.

As set out above in the section headed “Distribution of Corporate Communications to Shareholders”, the Company discloses information and publishes corporate communication to the public on the Stock Exchange’s website in a timely manner in accordance with the Listing Rules, the relevant laws and regulations. The primary focus of the Company is to ensure information disclosure is timely, fair, accurate, truthful and does not contain any material omission, thereby enabling Shareholders, investors as well as the public to make rational and informed decisions. To promote effective communication, the Company maintains a website at www.ysbang.cn, where information and updates on the Company’s business developments and operations, financial information, corporate governance practices and other information are available for public access.

We annually review the implementation and effectiveness of the Shareholders’ Communication Policy (with communication channels). Following our review during the Reporting Period, we have concluded that the above policy provides sufficient opportunity and avenues for ongoing communication between the Company (including the Board and management) and our Shareholders and the results were satisfactory.

Changes in Constitutional Documents

During the Reporting Period, the Company did not make any significant changes to its constitutional documents.

The latest version of our memorandum and articles of association are available on the websites of the Company and the Stock Exchange.

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Independent Auditor's Report

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF YSB INC.

(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

OPINION

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of YSB Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") set out on pages 77 to 165, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2024, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") 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 Hong Kong Standards on Auditing ("HKSAs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA"). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA's Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the "Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. The 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.

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Independent Auditor's Report

KEY AUDIT MATTERS (CONTINUED)

Key audit matter	How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Allowance for inventories

We identified the allowance for inventories as a key audit matter due to the significance of the balance to the consolidated financial statements and the management judgments and estimations involved in the identification of obsolete or damaged inventories and the determination of the net realisable value of the inventories.

As disclosed in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, as at 31 December 2024, the carrying amount of inventories was approximately RMB1,464,548,000, net of allowance of approximately RMB16,427,000. | Our procedures in relation to allowance for inventories included:

Obtaining an understanding of the Group’s allowance policy on inventories and the management’s process over the identification of obsolete or damaged inventories and the determination of the net realisable value of inventories; and
Evaluating the reasonableness of the Group’s allowance for inventories by:
Observing the Group’s physical inventory counts to ascertain whether obsolete or damaged inventories were identified;
Testing the expiry date of inventories, on a sample basis, to the product labels;
Tracing the latest selling prices for inventories sold subsequent to the reporting period, on a sample basis, to the relevant sales invoices; and
Performing retrospective review on the accuracy of management’s assessment relating to the allowance for inventories. |

KEY AUDIT MATTERS (CONTINUED)

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Purchase price allocation ("PPA") for business combinations

We identified the acquisition of Folding Space (Cayman) Ltd and its subsidiaries ("Yikuai Pharmaceutical") during the year ended 31 December 2024 as a key audit matter given the magnitude of the identified intangible assets and goodwill recognised arising from the business combinations, and the significant judgments and estimates involved in the fair value assessment of the identified intangible assets and the recognition of goodwill arising from the business combinations.

As disclosed in Note 30 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill arising from this acquisition was approximately RMB264,038,000, which represented the excess of the consideration paid over the Group's share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Yikuai Pharmaceutical, including intangible assets approximately RMB454,233,000 of the acquired subsidiaries.

With reference to the valuation performed by independent valuation firm, the valuation of intangible assets on the acquisition date, was performed based on key assumptions and estimation used by the management of the Group including discount rates, revenue growth rate and forecast gross profit margin.

Our procedures in relation to acquisition of Yikuai Pharmaceutical:

Obtaining an understanding of management's assessment process of the PPA for business combinations;
Evaluating the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the independent valuation firm;
Checking the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations underlying the PPA with the assistance of our valuation specialists;
Assessing the appropriateness of the valuation model and methodology adopted by the management and the reasonableness of discount rates used by management with the involvement of our valuation specialists;
Challenging the reasonableness of the revenue growth rate and gross profit margin adopted in the discounted cash flows for the PPA, by checking historical budgets against historical results and management's expectations for the future growth of the business acquired and other sources of external information;
Assessing the reasonableness of the disclosures in relation to the business combination with reference to the requirements of the prevailing accounting standards.

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Independent Auditor's Report

OTHER INFORMATION

The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include 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 DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE 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 as 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 are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

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 solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Independent Auditor's Report

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism 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.
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.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

YSB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Independent Auditor's Report

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

We communicate with those charged with governance 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 those charged with governance 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 those charged with governance, 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 the independent auditor's report is Chan Men.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

3.1 Basis of preparation of consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs Accounting Standards issued by the IASB. 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.

3.2 Material accounting policy information

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporates the financial statements of the Company and entities (including the consolidated affiliated entities) controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

has power over the investee;
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein, which represent present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate share of net assets of the relevant subsidiaries upon liquidation.

3.2 Material accounting policy information (Continued)

Business combinations

A business is an integrated set of activities and assets which includes an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The acquired processes are considered substantive if they are critical to the ability to continue producing outputs, including an organised workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge, or experience to perform the related processes or they significantly contribute to the ability to continue producing outputs and are considered unique or scarce or cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay in the ability to continue producing outputs.

Acquisitions of businesses, other than business combination under common control are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of an asset and a liability in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (the "Conceptual Framework") except for transactions and events within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets or IFRIC-Int 21 Levies, in which the Group applies IAS 37 or IFRIC-Int 21 instead of the Conceptual Framework to identify the liabilities it has assumed in a business combination. Contingent assets are not recognised.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that:

lease liabilities are recognised and measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments (as defined in IFRS 16 Leases) as if the acquired leases were new leases at the acquisition date, except for leases for which (a) the lease term ends within 12 months of the acquisition date; or (b) the underlying asset is of low value. Right-of-use assets are recognised and measured at the same amount as the relevant lease liabilities, adjusted to reflect favourable or unfavourable terms of the lease when compared with market terms.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as at acquisition date. If, after re-assessment, the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

3.2 Material accounting policy information (Continued)

Business combinations (Continued)

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the relevant subsidiary’s net assets in the event of liquidation are initially measured at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets or at fair value. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at their fair value.

When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the “measurement period” (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

The subsequent accounting for the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured to fair value at subsequent reporting dates, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, which represent the lowest level at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and not larger than an operating segment.

A cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired.

Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when control of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customers.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

3.2 Material accounting policy information (Continued)

Revenue from contracts with customers (Continued)

A performance obligation represents a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same.

Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:

the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs;
the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or
the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct good or service.

The Group mainly engaged in wholesales of pharmaceutical and healthcare products offline or online through its online platform. The Group also engaged in retail of pharmaceutical and healthcare products through its retail shops. In addition, the Group operates online platform that enable the pharmaceutical distributors and vendors to sell their own pharmaceutical and healthcare products using the Group’s online platform.

The Group evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the gross amounts of product sales or services provided and related costs, or the net amount earned as commissions. When the Group is a principal, that the Group obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customers, the revenue should be recognised in the gross amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the specified goods or services transferred. When the Group is an agent and its obligation is to facilitate third parties in fulfilling their performance obligation for specified goods or services, in which case the Group does not control the specified goods or services provided by third parties before those goods or services are transferred to the customer, the revenue should be recognised in the net amount for the amount of commission which the Group earns in exchange for arranging for the specified goods or services to be provided by other parties.

A contract liability represents the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration from the customer.

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Trade receivables represent amounts invoiced and revenue recognised prior to invoicing when the Group has satisfied the Group’s performance obligation and has the unconditional right to payment.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

3.2 Material accounting policy information (Continued)

Revenue from contracts with customers (Continued)

Contracts with multiple performance obligations (including allocation of transaction price)

For contracts that contain more than one performance obligations (i.e. contracts related to the software and service), the Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis.

The stand-alone selling price of the distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation is determined at contract inception. It represents the price at which the Group would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. If a stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, the Group estimates it using appropriate techniques such that the transaction price ultimately allocated to any performance obligation reflects the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer.

Specifically, revenue is recognised as follows:

Product Revenue

The Group mainly engaged in wholesales of pharmaceutical and healthcare products offline or online through its online platform. The Group also engaged in retail of pharmaceutical and healthcare products through its retail shops. The Group recognises product revenue on a gross basis as the Group is acting as a principal in these transactions and is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods. Product revenue is recognised upon customers’ acceptance of product delivery, net of discounts and return allowances. Transportation and handling activities that occur before customers obtain control are considered as fulfilment activities.

Service Revenue

The service revenue primarily consists of i) commission fees charged to pharmaceutical distributors and vendors participating on the online marketplace through the Group’s online platform; ii) service revenue received from third-party pharmacies for the access right granted to them for use of the Group’s software; and iii) service revenue received from provision of medical testing services to primary healthcare institutions.

As for the commission charged related to the online platform, the Group generally is acting as an agent and its performance obligation is to arrange for the provision of the specified goods or services by those pharmaceutical distributors and vendors. Upon successful sales, the Group charges the pharmaceutical distributors and vendors commission fee revenue based on a certain percentage of sales, net of discounts and return allowances. Commission fee revenue is recognised upon end customers’ acceptance of product delivery on a net basis.

Revenue from contracts with customers (Continued)

Contracts with multiple performance obligations (including allocation of transaction price) (Continued)

Service Revenue (Continued)

As for the service revenue charged related to the one-time usage fee and service fee for the inventory management related SaaS solution provided to the downstream pharmacies, the Group is acting as a principal and its performance obligation is to provide the access right to pharmacies to use the Group’s software. Since the pharmacies simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs, revenue from the software services therefore are recognised over time on the straight-line base during the service period which less than one year.

As for the service revenue charged related to the medical testing services, the Group is acting as a principal and its performance obligation is to perform the testing and generate testing results to the primary healthcare institutions. The Group recognises revenue at a point in time when the Group delivers the testing results to the primary healthcare institutions.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of purchase price of products, transaction processing fees and write-downs of inventories.

The Group periodically receives considerations from certain vendors, representing rebates for products purchased. The rebates are not sufficiently separable from the Group’s purchase of the vendors’ products and they do not represent a reimbursement of costs incurred by the Group to sell vendors’ products. The Group accounts for the rebates received from its vendors as a reduction to the prices it pays for the products purchased and therefore the Group records such amounts as a reduction of carrying value of the inventories for inventories still held by the Group at the end of the reporting period or as a reduction of cost of sales for inventories sold before the end of each reporting period.

Leases

Definition of a lease

The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition under IFRS 16 at inception of the contract. Such contract will not be reassessed unless the terms and conditions of the contract are subsequently changed.

Leases (Continued)

The Group as a lessee

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. It also applies the recognition exemption for lease of low-value assets. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis or another systematic basis over the lease term. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Right-of-use assets

The cost of right-of-use assets includes:

the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term.

The Group presents right-of-use assets as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognises and measures the lease liability at the present value of lease payments that are unpaid at that date. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable.

After the commencement date, lease liabilities are adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments.

Leases (Continued)

Lease liabilities (Continued)

The Group remeasures lease liabilities (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets) when a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease (see below for the accounting policy for “lease modifications”).

The Group presents lease liabilities as a separate line item on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Lease modifications

The Group accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if:

the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and
the consideration for the leases increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract.

For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group remeasures the lease liability, less any lease incentives receivable, based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.

The Group accounts for the remeasurement of lease liabilities by making corresponding adjustments to the relevant right-of-use assets.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Government grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants related to income that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. Such grants are presented under “other income”.

Retirement benefits costs

Payments to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are recognised at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid as and when employees rendered the services. All short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense unless another IFRS requires or permits the inclusion of the benefit in the cost of an asset.

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees (such as wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave) after deducting any amount already paid.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments transactions

Restricted share units (“RSU”s)/share options granted to employees

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.

The fair value of the equity-settled share-based payments determined at the grant date without taking into consideration all non-market vesting conditions is expensed using straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payments reserve). At the end of the reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest based on assessment of all relevant non-market vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to share-based payments reserve. For RSUs/share options that vest immediately at the date of grant, the fair value of the share options granted is expensed immediately to profit or loss.

Reserve will be transferred to share premium. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in share-based payments reserve will be transferred to accumulated losses.

When RSUs granted are vested, the amount previously recognized in share-based payments reserve will be transferred to share premium.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the current and deferred income tax expense.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit/loss before tax because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of each reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit and at the time of the transaction does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Taxation (Continued)

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of each reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

For the purposes of measuring deferred tax for leasing transactions in which the Group recognises the right-of-use assets and the related lease liabilities, the Group first determines whether the tax deductions are attributable to the right-of-use assets or the lease liabilities.

For leasing transactions in which the tax deductions are attributable to the lease liabilities, the Group applies IAS 12 Income Taxes requirements to the lease liabilities, and the related assets separately. The Group recognises a deferred tax asset related to lease liabilities to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised and a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied to the same taxable entity by the same taxation authority.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes (other than construction in progress). Property, plant and equipment are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than construction in progress) less their residual values over their estimated useful lives (as below), using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of the reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Useful lives

Leasehold improvement	Over the term of the lease
Plant and machinery	5 to 10 years

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful lives is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (as below).

The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of the reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Internally-generated intangible assets – research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill and are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination with finite useful lives are reported at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Impairment on property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets are estimated individually. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In testing a cash-generating unit for impairment, corporate assets are allocated to the relevant cash-generating unit when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be established, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be established. The recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units to which the corporate asset belongs, and is compared with the carrying amount of the relevant cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units.

Impairment on property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets other than goodwill (Continued)

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit or the group of cash-generating units. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use (if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit or the group of cash-generating units. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on specific identification method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less costs necessary to make the sales. Costs necessary to make the sale include incremental costs directly attributable to the sale and non-incremental costs which the Group must incur to make the sale.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place.

Financial instruments (Continued)

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value except for trade and note receivables arising from contracts with customers which are initially measured in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial assets

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:

the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at FVTPL.

(i) Amortised cost and interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for financial assets measured subsequently at amortised cost. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset from the next reporting period. If the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset from the beginning of each reporting period following the determination that the asset is no longer credit-impaired.

(ii) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI") or designated as FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss and is included in "other gains and losses" line item.

The dividend or interest earned on the financial assets at FVTPL and is included in "other income" line item.

Impairment of financial assets subject to impairment assessment under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

The Group performs impairment assessment under expected credit loss ("ECL") model on financial assets (including trade and other receivables, time deposits, restricted bank deposits and bank balances), which are subject to impairment under IFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.

Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL ("12m ECL") represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Assessment is done based on the Group's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.

The Group always recognises lifetime ECL for trade and note receivables.

For all other instruments, the Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12m ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, in which case the Group recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.

(i) Significant increase in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as of the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as of the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.

Impairment of financial assets subject to impairment assessment under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Continued)

(i) Significant increase in credit risk (Continued)

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly:

an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument’s external (if available) or internal credit rating;
significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor;
existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;
an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;
an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations.

Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.

The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.

(ii) Definition of default

For internal credit risk management, the Group considers an event of default occurs when information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group, in full (without taking into account any collaterals held by the Group).

Irrespective of the above, the Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

(iii) Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:

(a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
(b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
(c) the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider; or
(d) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.

(iv) Write-off policy

The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, for example, when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or in the case of trade and note receivables, when the amounts are over two years past due, whichever occurs sooner. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. Any subsequent recoveries are recognised in profit or loss.

(v) Measurement and recognition of ECL

The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information. Estimation of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights.

Generally, the ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition.

Lifetime ECL for trade and note receivables are considered on a collective basis taking into consideration past due information and relevant credit information such as forward looking macroeconomic information.

For collective assessment, the Group takes into consideration the following characteristics when formulating the grouping:

Past-due status;
Nature, size and industry of debtors; and
External credit ratings where available.

The grouping is regularly reviewed by the directors of the Company to ensure the constituents of each group continue to share similar credit risk characteristics.

Interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit-impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on amortised cost of the financial asset.

The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments by adjusting their carrying amount, with the exception of trade and note receivables where the corresponding adjustment is recognised through a loss allowance account.

Foreign exchange gains and losses

The carrying amount of financial assets that are denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period. For financial assets measured at FVTPL that are not part of a designated hedging relationship, exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the ‘Other gains and losses’ line item as part of the gains/(losses) from changes in fair value of financial assets (Note 7).

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities and equity

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies.

These foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in the ‘Other gains and losses’ line item in profit or loss (Note 7) as part of net foreign exchange gains/(losses) for financial liabilities that are not part of a designated hedging relationship.
The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognised in profit or loss for financial liabilities that are not part of a designated hedging relationship.

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the management of the Group are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going 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.

Critical judgement in applying accounting policies

The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the directors of the Company have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation of affiliated entities

The Group obtained control over PRC domestic companies, Guangzhou Sudao Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Guangzhou Sudao”) and Guangzhou Yaobang Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Guangzhou Yaobang”), by entering into a series of the contractual arrangements with the PRC domestic companies and their respective nominee shareholders (collectively, the “Contractual Arrangements”). Nevertheless, the Contractual Arrangements and other measures may not be as effective as direct legal ownership in providing the Group with direct control over the PRC domestic companies and uncertainties presented by the PRC legal system could impede the Group’s beneficiary rights of the results, assets and liabilities of the PRC domestic companies. The directors of the Company, based on the advice of its legal counsel, consider that the Contractual Arrangements among PRC domestic companies and their respective Nominee Shareholders are in compliance with the relevant PRC Laws and are legally enforceable.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Allowance for inventories

The Group records inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Allowance for inventories is provided for those identified obsolete or damaged inventories; and inventories with a carrying amount higher than net realisable value. Regular operational procedures have been in place to monitor the allowance for inventories due to the significant balance involved and nature of the inventories is subject to expiry date.

The management identified the obsolete or damaged inventories based on expiry date or physical condition of the inventories. The specific factors considered by management in the estimation of the allowance for obsolete or damaged inventories include the latest sales information, expected market demand and saleability of inventories. Although the Group carries out regular reviews on the net realisable value of inventories, the actual realisable value of inventories is not known until the sales are concluded.

As at 31 December 2024, the carrying amounts of inventories of the Group were approximately RMB1,464,548,000 (2023: RMB1,470,293,000), net of allowance for inventories of approximately RMB16,427,000 (2023: RMB14,184,000).

Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Continued)

Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets

Property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. In determining whether an asset is impaired or the event previously causing the impairment no longer exists, the management of the Group has to exercise judgement and make assumptions, particularly when assessing: (1) whether an event has occurred or any indicators that may affect the asset value; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the recoverable amount, in the case of value in use, the net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset; and (3) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in estimating the value in use included in the cash flow projections and an appropriate discount rate. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset (including right-of-use assets), the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the assets belong, including allocation of corporate assets when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be established, otherwise recoverable amount is determined at the smallest group of cash generating units, for which the relevant corporate assets have been allocated. Changing the underlying assumptions and key inputs, including but not limited to the forecasted revenue, gross profit margins and discount rates, in the cash flow projections, could materially affect the estimated recoverable amounts.

Determining whether property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets are impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets have been allocated, which is the higher of the value in use or fair value less costs of disposal. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit (or a group of cash-generating units) and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, or change in facts and circumstances which results in downward revision of future cash flows or upward revision of discount rate, a material impairment loss or further impairment loss may arise. Furthermore, the cash flows projections and discount rate are subject to greater uncertainties due to uncertainty on how the volatility or disruptions in energy, financial, foreign currency or commodity markets may progress and evolve.

For the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, no impairment loss was recognised for property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets. As at 31 December 2024, the aggregate carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets are approximately RMB795,320,000 (2023: RMB295,027,000). Details of the recoverable amount calculation are disclosed in Note 14.

Fair value assessment of the identifiable assets and liabilities and the recognition of goodwill arising from business acquisition

The Group measures the identifiable assets and liabilities at fair value and recognizes goodwill as the difference between the acquisition consideration and the share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets as at the acquisition date.

The assessment of fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities involves significant estimate and judgment of the management, especially the identification of intangible assets and the assessment of fair value of such assets, which affects the recognition of goodwill accordingly. The assessment of the fair value of identifiable net assets as at the acquisition date covers identification of intangible assets, selection of valuation approaches and forecast of future cash flows, involving significant estimates and judgments of key assumptions such as revenue growth rate, gross profit margin and discount rate. Different inputs used for the key assumptions may result in significant difference in fair value assessment.

As disclosed in Note 30, goodwill arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries during the year ended 31 December 2024 amounted RMB264,038,000, which represented the excess of the consideration paid over the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets, including intangible assets amounting to RMB454,233,000 of the acquired subsidiaries.

Impairment assessment

Giving the continuous losses incurred by certain PRC subsidiaries of the Group during the year, the management concluded there was indication for impairment and conducted impairment assessment on its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangibles assets. As at 31 December 2024, management identified property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangibles assets of certain subsidiaries with impairment indicators at net book value amounted to approximately RMB13,830,000 (2023: RMB80,898,000).

During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group acquired and obtained control over Folding Space (Cayman) Ltd ("Folding Space") and its subsidiaries ("Yikuai Pharmaceutical") as detailed in Note 30. For the purpose of impairment testing, management determined each subsidiary as a cash-generating unit, except for Yikuai Pharmaceutical. As Yikuai Pharmaceutical generates largely independent cash inflows, Yikuai Pharmaceutical is determined as a cash-generating unit. The Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the assets belong to when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually.

In addition to property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets, goodwill as set out in Note 17 have been allocated to three (2023: two) cash-generating units, comprising Guangdong Dihao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Guangdong Dihao"), Guangdong Dongjian Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Guangdong Dongjian") and Yikuai Pharmaceutical.

The recoverable amount of cash-generating unit has been determined based on a value in use calculation. That calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the management of the Group covering the following 5 years with pre-tax discount rates of 18% as at 31 December 2024 (2023: 17%). The pre-tax discount rate was derived from capital asset pricing model by considering different market data and company specific risk. The cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using 2% growth rate (2023: 2%). Management believes that the growth rate does not exceed the average long-term growth rate for the relevant industry. Another key assumption for the value in use calculated is the budgeted gross margin, which is determined based on the cash-generating units' past performance and management expectations for the market development. The growth rates and discount rate as at 31 December 2024 and 2023 have been reassessed taking into consideration a higher degree of estimation uncertainties in due to uncertainty on how the volatility or disruptions in energy, financial, foreign currency or commodity markets may progress and evolve.

Based on the result of the assessment, management of the Group determined that the recoverable amounts of all cash-generating units are higher than the corresponding carrying amounts as at 31 December 2024 and 2023. Therefore, no impairment loss was recognised for both years.

The Group performed sensitivity test by increasing 1% of pre-tax discount rate or decreasing 1% of long-term growth rate, which are the key assumptions determine the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, with all other variables held constant. Based on the sensitivity test performed, no material impairment issue was noted for both years. The headroom of each cash-generating unit that was subject to impairment assessment at the end of the reporting period is not less than 31% (2023: 13%).

Management believes that any reasonably possible change in any of these assumptions would not cause the carrying amount of a cash-generating unit to exceed the recoverable amount of that cash-generating unit as at 31 December 2024 and 2023.

19. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (CONTINUED)

Trade receivables

As at 1 January 2023, trade and note receivables from contracts with customers amounted to approximately RMB163,721,000.

The Group requires full payment in advance for its online product sales, certain offline product sales and retail sales. For other customers, the Group primarily allows a credit period from 15 to 30 days. Trade receivables are settled in accordance with the terms of the respective contracts. Aging analysis of trade receivables, net of allowance for credit losses, based on invoice date is as follows:

	As at 31 December
	2024 RMB'000	2023 RMB'000
Within 3 months	26,856	28,005

	34,952	32,821
Less: allowance for credit losses	(794)	(1,059)
	34,158	31,762

Note receivables are trade receivables supported by bank acceptance notes and the average ageing is within 2 to 6 months based on the received date and have a maturity period of less than one year, which management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary as there is no significant change in credit quality and the balances are considered fully recoverable. As at 31 December 2024, the amounts of RMB48,046,000 (2023: RMB5,993,000) note receivables were endorsed to settle trade payables, which were not derecognised until the maturity date of the endorsed notes.

As at 31 December 2024, included in the Group's trade receivables balance are debtors with an aggregate carrying amount of RMB10,372,000 (2023: RMB5,930,000) which are past due as at the reporting date. Out of the past due balances approximately RMB8,025,000 (2023: RMB4,340,000) have been past due over 90 days or more and are not considered as in default as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and amounts are still considered as recoverable based on historical experience. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

Details of impairment assessment are set out in Note 32.

Equity-settled share option scheme of the Group (Continued)

Substitution of ordinary shares of Guangzhou Sudao to the Company's ordinary shares under 2017 Share incentive Plan (Continued)

Notes:

(i) For the options with vesting period of 4 years, one quarter of options become vested at the end of each year during the vesting period.

(ii) In May 2022, the Company granted 1,330,000 share options to Mr. Fei Chen, an executive director of the Company. These options are vested on the date when the Company's shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange.

These fair values were calculated using the binomial method. The variables and assumptions used in computing the fair value of the share options are based on the directors' best estimate with reference to valuation reports carried out by an independent qualified professional valuer. The value of an option varies with different variables of certain subjective assumptions. The inputs into the model were as follows:

	2023
Weighted average share price	US$2.90 – US$4.33
Exercise price	US$0.00 – US$2.00
Expected volatility	60.60% – 61.60%
Expected life (years)	10
Risk-free rate	3.03% – 4.10%
Expected dividend yield	0%

Expected volatility was determined by using the historical volatility of the share prices of comparable companies over the previous 10 years. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on the directors' best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.

During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group recognised the total expense of approximately RMB27,673,000 (2023: RMB83,657,000) in relation to share options granted by the Group.

(iii) (Continued)

As part of the equity transfer agreement, contingent consideration is payable, which is dependent on the core business operating revenue ("CBOR") growth rate and the amount of net profit for each of the two years 2025, 2026 and the first quarter of year 2027 of Yikuai Pharmaceutical. Details of the Consideration Shares were set out in the announcement of the Company dated 15 October 2024.

Based on the directors' best estimate with reference to the historical performance of Yikuai Pharmaceutical, the directors of the Company considered Yikuai Pharmaceutical are highly probable to meet the performance target in relation to part 1 Contingent Consideration. The fair value of the Contingent Consideration at the date of acquisition was determined by i) the present value of the cash consideration payable of RMB60 million in Part 1; and ii) the fair value of 10,546,428 consideration shares in Part 1 which was determined by reference to the quoted market price of HK$6.29 (equivalent to RMB5.81) per each ordinary share of the Company at the date of obtaining the control of the Yikuai Pharmaceutical.

The Contingent Consideration is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. The fair value of such contingent arrangement amounted to RMB108,691,000 as at the end of the reporting period and has been presented separately as "Contingent consideration payables" on the consolidated statement of financial position.

(iv) Acquisition-related expenses amounting to RMB3,961,000 have been excluded from the consideration transferred and have been recognised as an expense in the current year, within the "General and administrative expenses" line item in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

For the purpose of the acquisitions, the Group engaged an external independent valuer to perform the valuation with the identification and determination of fair values to be assigned to the acquiree's assets and liabilities as at the acquisition date.

Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group

Included in the profit for the year is RMB10,000 attributable to the additional business generated by Yikuai Pharmaceutical. Revenue for the year includes RMB102,079,000 generated from Yikuai Pharmaceutical.

Had the acquisition of Yikuai Pharmaceutical been completed on 1 January 2024, revenue for the year of the Group would have been RMB926,298,000, and loss for the year would have been RMB79,663,000. The pro forma information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily an indication of revenue and results of operations of the Group that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been completed on 1 January 2024, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.

In determining the 'pro-forma' revenue and profit (loss) of the Group had Yikuai Pharmaceutical been acquired at the beginning of the current year, the directors of the Company calculated amortization of the intangible assets and the reversal of the relevant deferred tax liabilities based on the recognised amounts of intangible assets and deferred tax liabilities at the date of the acquisition.

31. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group's overall strategy remains unchanged from prior year.

The capital structure of the Group consists of net debts, which include lease liabilities as disclosed in Note 25 and bank borrowings as disclosed in Note 26, net of bank balances and cash, and time deposits with original maturity of three months or less and equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The management of the Group reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As a part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of items in the context of capital structure, and takes appropriate actions to adjust the Group's capital structure. Based on recommendations of the management, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the repayment of existing debts and continuity of funding of cash flows from operating activities and new shares issue.

32. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s financial instruments include time deposits, restricted bank deposits, bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, financial assets at FVTPL, trade and other payables, bank borrowings and contingent consideration payables. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments mainly include market risk (currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management of the Group manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk

Currency risk

Certain bank balances, time deposits and financial assets at FVTPL denominated in foreign currency of respective group entities expose the Group to foreign currency risk. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise. The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities at the end of both years are mainly as follows:

| | Assets
As at 31 December | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| | 2024
RMB'000 | 2023
RMB'000 |
| US$ | 197,284 | 520,093 |
| HK$ | 125,447 | - |

Sensitivity analysis

The following details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% (2023: 5%) increase and decrease in RMB against US$ and HK$. 5% (2023: 5%) is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 5% (2023: 5%) change in foreign currency rates. For a 5% (2023: 5%) weakening/strengthening of RMB against US$, the Group’s post-tax profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 would increase/decrease by approximately RMB7,398,000 (2023: post-tax loss would decrease/increase by approximately RMB19,503,000). For a 5% (2023: 5%) weakening/strengthening of RMB against HK$, the Group’s post-tax profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 would increase/decrease by approximately RMB4,704,000 (2023: nil).

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued)

Market risk (Continued)

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to lease liabilities as disclosed in Note 25 and bank borrowings as disclosed in Note 26.

The Group is also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate restricted bank deposits and bank balances as disclosed in Notes 21 and 22 respectively. The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of interest rates on restricted bank deposits, and bank balances.

The Group currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. The management of the Group consider the Group’s exposure of the restricted bank deposits and bank balances to interest rate risk is insignificant as the fluctuation of market interest rate and PRC prime rate is not expected to be significant, no sensitivity analysis is presented accordingly.

Credit risk and impairment assessment

Credit risk refers to the risk that the Group’s counterparties default on their contractual obligations resulting in financial losses to the Group. The Group’s credit risk exposures are primarily attributable to trade and note receivables, other receivable, time deposits, restricted bank deposits, bank balances and amount due from a shareholder. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements to cover its credit risks associated with its financial assets.

The Group performed impairment assessment for financial assets under ECL model. Information about the Group’s credit risk management, maximum credit risk exposures and the related impairment assessment, if applicable, are summarised as below:

Trade and note receivables arising from contracts with customers

In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual significant trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment loss is recognised for irrecoverable amount. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued)

Credit risk and impairment assessment (Continued)

Trade and note receivables arising from contracts with customers (Continued)

In addition, the Group performs impairment assessment under ECL model on a collective basis. Trade and note receivables are grouped by internal credit rating based on shared credit risk characteristics by reference to past due exposure for the customers. During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group reversed credit loss allowance of approximately RMB265,000 (2023: RMB2,540,000) for trade receivables based on collective assessment. Impairment allowance for note receivables as at 31 December 2024 and 2023 was not material.

The Group’s concentration of credit risk by geographical locations is mainly in the PRC, which accounted for 100% of the total trade receivables as at 31 December 2024 and 2023.

Other receivables

The Group assessed the loss allowance for other receivables on 12m ECL basis as the Group has considered that credit risks on these financial assets have not increased significantly since initial recognition. In determining the ECL, the Group has taken into account the historical default experience and forward looking information as appropriate. The Group has considered the consistently low historical default rate in connection with payments and the Group also actively monitors the outstanding amounts owed by each debtor and identifies any credit risks in a timely manner in order to reduce the risk of a credit related loss. For the year ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, management of the Group assessed the ECL for other receivables was insignificant and thus no loss allowance was recognised.

Time deposits, restricted bank deposits and bank balances

The credit risks on time deposits, restricted bank deposits and bank balances are limited because the counterparties are authorised banks in the PRC with high credit ratings assigned by external credit-rating agencies.

Other than the concentration of credit risk on liquid funds which are placed with several banks, the Group does not have any other significant concentration of credit risk.

The Group assessed 12m ECL for time deposits, restricted bank deposits and bank balances by reference to information relating to probability of default and loss given default of the respective credit rating grades published by external credit rating agencies. Based on the average loss rates, the 12m ECL on time deposits, restricted bank deposits and bank balances is considered to be insignificant and therefore no loss allowance was recognised.

Notes:

(1) For not credit-impaired trade and note receivables, the Group has applied the simplified approach in IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL. The Group determines the ECL on a collective basis, grouped by internal credit rating and past due status of respective receivable.

Internal credit rating

As part of the Group’s credit risk management, the Group applies internal credit rating for its customers. The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk for trade receivables which are assessed collectively as at 31 December 2024 and 2023 within lifetime ECL (not credit-impaired). Impairment allowance for note receivables as at 31 December 2024 and 2023 was not material as the notes receivables are issued by authorised banks in the PRC with high credit ratings assigned by external credit-rating agencies.

Gross carrying amount

	As at 31 December
	2024
Average loss rate %	Trade receivables RMB'000	2023
Average loss rate %	Trade receivables RMB'000
Low risk	2.3	34,952	3.2	32,821

The estimated loss rates are estimated based on historical observed default rates over the expected life of the debtors and are adjusted for forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. The grouping is regularly reviewed by management to ensure relevant information about specific debtors is updated.

During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group reversed credit losses allowance of approximately RMB265,000 (2023: RMB2,540,000) for trade receivables.

Gross carrying amount (Continued)

The following tables show the movement in lifetime ECL that has been recognised for trade receivables under the simplified approach:

| Trade receivables | Lifetime ECL – collective assessment (not credit-impaired)
RMB'000 |
| --- | --- |
| As at 1 January 2023 | 4,657 |
| – impairment losses reversed | (2,540) |
| – Write-offs | (1,058) |
| As at 31 December 2023 | 1,059 |
| – impairment losses reversed | (265) |
| As at 31 December 2024 | 794 |

The Group writes off trade and note receivables when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or when the trade and note receivables are over two years past due, whichever occurs earlier. None of the trade and note receivables that have been written off and is subject to enforcement activities.

(2) For the purposes of internal credit risk management, the Group has applied the general approach in IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at 12m ECL as there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. The Group determines the expected credit losses for other receivables, amount due from a shareholder, time deposits, restricted bank deposits and bank balances by assessment of probability of default. During the year ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, in view of the nature of the balance and historical default rate and forward looking information, the Group considers the provision of impairment allowance for these balances are insignificant.

Liquidity risk

In the management of liquidity risk, the Group’s management monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities based on the agreed repayment terms. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are at variable rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate at the end of the reporting period.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

Fair values of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Certain of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used), as well as the level of the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorised (levels 1 to 3) based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements is observable.

Notes:

(i) Key inputs included possibilities under different scenarios, such as qualified IPO, redemption, liquidation and other inputs, such as time to liquidation or redemption, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility value and dividend yield.

(ii) Key unobservable inputs included discount rate and probability-adjusted revenue and profits of Yikuai Pharmaceutical. No sensitivity analysis in relation to the discount rate has been presented as changes in fair values due to changes the discount rate are insignificant.

(iii) Key inputs included quoted market price of the share of the Company and probability-adjusted revenue and profits of Yikuai Pharmaceutical. As at 31 December 2024, it is estimated that with all other variables held constant, a decrease in the expected probability-adjusted revenue and gross profits for year 2025, 2026 and 2027 by 5% would decrease the carrying amount of the contingent consideration payables, including cash and shares consideration, by RMB91,870,000.
