OVERVIEW
We are a fruit snack company focusing on the plum-based products. We also aspire to promote
plum culture and to introduce snacking options with natural ingredients. Guided by our
plum-centric product development strategy, we ha ve built a diverse plum-based products portfolio
ranging from classic products crafted with traditi onal techniques to products fused with complex
flavors, catering to a wide range of taste profiles. Since the launch of our iconic brand Liuliumei (‘‘ 溜
溜梅’’) in 2001, we have been dedicated to deepening our expertise in the plum-based products
industry and unlocking the culinary potential of sour flavors within plums.
In 2024, we ranked first in China’s fruit snacks industry in terms of the retail sales value, with a
market share of 4.9%, according t o Frost & Sullivan. Since its launch in 2019, our plum jelly rapidly
captured consumer bases, leveraging its natural an d refreshing tastes. As a result, according to Frost
& Sullivan, in 2024, we ranked sixth in China’s j elly industry in terms of retail sales value,
representing a market share of 2.9%.
During the Track Record Period, we achieved strong growth. In 2023, 2024 and 2025, our total
revenue amounted to RMB1, 322.0 million, RMB1,616.0 million and RMB1,710.7 million,
respectively. We also effectively managed our co sts and enjoyed benefit from economies of scale,
recording net profit of RMB99.2 million, RMB 147.7 million and RMB182.1 m illion in 2023, 2024
and 2025, respectively.
OUR STRENGTHS
We believe the following competitive advant ages have contributed to our success: (i) robust
product development strategy and continuous R&D efforts; (ii) comprehensive sales network and
diversified marketing campaigns; (iii) integrated supply chain; and (iv) e xperienced management
team with entrepreneurship and market insights.
OUR GROWTH STRATEGIES
We will continue to pursue the following strate gies: (i) Enrich our product offerings; (ii)
Enhance our brand recognition; (iii) expanding our sales network, increasing consumer bases and
exploring international markets; and (iv) optimizing our production capacity and supply chain.
OUR BRAND AND PRODUCTS
We offer three major product categories, namel y, our dried plum snacks, prune-based products
and plum jelly. For each category, we have launche d different series encompassing both products
crafted with traditional methods and products of complex flavors.
SUMMARY

The following table sets forth the breakdown of the sales volume and average selling price per
kg of our major product categories for the years indicated:
Year ended December 31,

RMB/kg 25.7 18.8 18.8
Note: the average selling price per kg is estimated through div iding the revenue of each product category by the sales

OUR SALES CHANNELS
Our management and development of sales channels are vital to our business operation and
future growth. The table below sets forth a breakd own of our revenue by sales channel for the years
indicated:
Year ended December 31,
2023 2024 2025
Amount % Amount % Amount %
(RMB in thousands, except for percentages)
Online self-operated stores 135,582 10.3 139,226 8.6 128,945 7.5
Supermarkets and membership stores (1) 170,919 12.9 266,914 16.5 402,554 23.5

Total 1,322,042 100.0 1,616,018 100.0 1,710,731 100.0
Note:
(1) Supermarkets and membership stores primarily incl ude national and regional supermarkets operating both
online and offline, as well as membership stores with whom we began cooperation in late 2024. Our revenue
attributable to membership stores accounted for 0.7% and 8.6% of our total revenue in 2024 and 2025,
respectively.
During the Track Record Period, we strategically focus on developing membership stores and
chain snack stores. Membership stores operate on a premium market positioning where customers
pay a membership subscription fee for access. This model is characterized by value-per-unit pricing
on larger packing sizes, which is underpinned by s trict SKU management, private-label merchandise
development, and robust supply-chain capabilitie s. In contrast, specialized snack stores focus on
convenience and impromptu purchases. Their success relies on (i) a different operational strategy
emphasizing wide choice of SKUs and diverse product s pecifications, competitive pricing, frequent
product refreshes to capture evolving tastes and (ii) a network of compact, conveniently located
stores that prioritize efficient merchandising an d rapid replenishment. Revenue from supermarkets
and membership stores increased by 56.2% fr om RMB170.9 million in 2023 to RMB266.9 million in
2024, and further increased by 50.8% to RMB402.6 million in 2025. This was primarily driven by (i)
our introduction of premium products, such as Chile an pitted prunes, which were positioned to cater
to mid-to-high-income customers; (ii) our rollout of differentiated packaging and tailored product
offerings developed sp ecifically for membership store c onsumers; and (iii) our commencement of
business with certain prominent and fas t-growing membership stores in late 2024.
SUMMARY
–2–


--- page 12 ---
Revenue from snack stores increased by 311 .7% from RMB133.8 million in 2023 to RMB550.8
million in 2024, and further increased by 17.7% to RMB648.5 million in 2025. This was primarily
driven by (i) the continued expansion of large-scale snack store groups, which led to increased
procurement volumes; (ii) our expanded presence and increased cooperation with leading nationwide
snack store chains with leading nat ionwide snack store chains; (iii) our launch of customized product
formats, such as family-sized packages and vari ety packs; and (iv) our implementation of
co-branding initiatives and targeted marketing campaigns, as well as our enhanced use of digital
marketing and live commerce platforms.
Revenue from distributorship decrease d by 25.2% from RMB881.7 million in 2023 to
RMB659.1 million in 2024, and further decrea sed by 19.5% to RMB530.8 million in 2025, primarily
due to our strategic shift to focus on the sales to sup ermarkets, membership stores and snack stores.
The following table sets forth a breakdown of our gross profit and gross profit margin by sales

Total 529,711 40.1 582,465 36.0 608,700 35.6
Note:
(1) Supermarkets and membership stores primarily incl ude national and regional supermarkets operating both
online and offline, as well as membership stor es with whom we began coope ration in late 2024.
Our gross profit margin from supermarkets an d membership stores declined from 45.1% in
2023 to 39.4% in 2024. Similarly, our gross profit ma rgin from sales to snack stores decreased from
40.5% in 2023 to 34.8% in 2024, and our gross profit m argins from sales to distributorship decreased
from 37.5% to 33.4% during the same period. This decline is primarily due to our adoption of a
pricing strategy that offers lower prices to t hese customers. Our gross profit margin from
supermarkets and membership stores decreased from 39.4% in 2024 to 32.8% in 2025, mainly
because we increased the sales of customized prune-based products for a membership store, which
had lower profit margins. Our gross profit margin from sales to snack stores remained relatively
stable at 34.8% in 2024 and 35.2% in 2025. Our gross profit margin from sales to online
self-operated stores decreased from 47.0% in 2024 to 41.5% in 2025, primarily due to competitive
pricing strategies to amplify our online platfo rm presence and enhanced promotion for newly
launched products, which lowered the prices of such products. Our gross profit margin from
distributorship increased from 33.4% in 2024 to 36.7% in 2025, as we reduc ed the discounts for
distributors when we enhanced collaborations with other channels.
OUR PRODUCTION
During the Track Record Period, our production plants mainly produced dried plum snacks,
plum jelly and prune-based products. We also engage some third-party contractors, from time to
time, to facilitate only certain preliminary processi ng phases of the production, such as the pickling
phase for our dried plum snacks, thereby easing sh ort-term pressure on produc tion facilities during
peak seasons.

Total 42.2 33.4 79.1 65.3 54.3 83.2 75.5 56.7 75.1
Notes:
(1) The designed production capacity of the year is calcu lated based on the following assumptions: (i) All product
lines are functioning in its full capacity; (ii) our pr oduction facilities operate 16 hours per day for most of our
products; and (iii) we operate at every working day per year.
(2) The utilization rate of our production plant during the year equals the actual produ ction volume divided by the
designed production capacity during the same year.
(3) During the Track Record Period, Anhui Plant primarily produced dried plum products and prune-based
products. The utilization rate of Anhui Plant decreased from 93.9% in 2024 to 77.7% in 2025, mainly because we
increased our sales focus on plum jelly and prune-base d products in response to market demand and consumer
preferences, and adjusted our production schedule accordingly to prioritize these two product categories. As our
Anhui Plant is principally configured for the production of dried plum snacks, this adjustment correspondingly
resulted in a decrease in its production utilization rate.
(4) During the Track Record Period, our Plum Je lly Plant mainly produced plum jelly products.
(5) During the Track Record Period, our Wuhu Plant primarily produced dried plum products and other products.
(6) During the Track Record Period, our ‘‘Fiber Life’’ Na tural Food Production Plant p rimarily produced pitted
prune-based products.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Our integrated supply chain spanning across raw material procurement, processing and
production is key to our success. Our procurement team coordinates with our production team,
preparing a procurement list based on the production team’s plans, annual budgets and market price
for raw materials. Meanwhile, the procurement t eam is also responsible for purchasing bulk raw
materials and strategic stockpile that are necessary to our production, planning and purchasing
fundamental raw materials based on its analysis of the market.
OUR CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
Our major customers primarily comprise superm arkets, membership stores, snack stores and
distributors. During the Track R ecord Period, revenue from our five largest customers in each year
accounted for 14.2%, 33.1% and 45.8% of our total revenue for the respective year. The increase in
revenue generated from our five largest customers in each year during the Track Record Period was
primarily attributable to our strengthened coopera tion with fast-expanding national snack stores.
During the Track Record Period, revenue from our largest customer in each year accounted for
3.4%, 14.1% and 16.4% of our total revenue for the respective year. Our largest customer in 2023 is
a leading nationwide chain supermarket, which offers comprehensive range of groceries, food and
household items. Our largest customers in 2024 and 2025, Customer B and Customer C, were
nationwide chain snack stores. Customer B operat es over 14,000 snack stores covering 28 provinces
and all city tiers in China, and Customer C operate s about 18,300 snack stores in all major provinces
and cities in China.

Our major suppliers primarily comprise raw material suppliers, production equipment
suppliers, and packaging materi al suppliers. During the Track R ecord Period, purchase amount
from our five largest suppliers in each year acco unted for 16.9%, 14.5% and 14.7% of our total
purchase amount for the respective year. During the Track Record Period, purchase amount from
our largest supplier in each year accounted for 5.0%, 5.1% and 3.9% of our total purchase amount
for the respective year. Our largest supplier in 2023 and 2024 sold sugar to us.
FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY CONTROL
Food safety and product quality is our top pri ority. We have implemented a comprehensive
quality management system that encompasses our en tire supply chain, from raw material sourcing to
product sales. Building on the requirements of ISO 22000 and HACCP, we identify and evaluate
food safety risks in each stage of production. We have achieved the globally recognized FSSC 22000
certification in October 2024 to standardize foo d safety management across our supply chain. We
have established a dedicated quality assurance cente r for quality planning, quality engineering and
supplier management. The testing center has received CMA and CNAS certifications and produces
authoritative testing reports that facilitate con tinuous improvement in our quality management
practices.
MARKETING AND PROMOTION
Our marketing strategy is key to our brand development, combining innovative marketing
vehicles and advertising campaigns that capture consumer attention to establish brand identity.
Central to our strategy is to cultivate consumer mindshare, advocating for various consumption
scenarios of plum-based food and encouraging consumers to incorporate our products into their
daily diets. We also offer customized products and co-branding products to enhance our brand
awareness. Committed to promoting plum culture, we also adopt the culture-driven marketing
strategy that educates consumers about the rich history of plum-based food. Our multi-faceted
marketing style provides an immersive experience to consumers, creating emot ional connections with
them, while enriching the cultural narratives of our brand. To retain our energetic and youthful
brand image, we also collaborate with celebr ities and KOLs who are popular among younger
generations.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
According to Frost & Sullivan, the snack foo d industry in China is highly competitive.
According to Frost & Sullivan, China’s market si ze of fruit snack in terms of retail sales value
amounted to RMB52.0 billion in 2024, accounting for 5.6% of China’s snack food industry. The
market size of the fruit snack industry in China by retail sales value increased from RMB37.8 billion
in 2020 to RMB52.0 billion in 2024 at a CAGR of 8.3% , and is expected to further reach RMB78.0
billion in 2029, with a CAGR of 8.6%. On the other ha nd, sour-flavored products, particularly
plum-based products, have been growing rapidly, primarily due to the evolving market demand for
products made with natural ingredients. We believe our brand recognition, product development
ability, sales channel management ability and prod uction and quality control ability enable us to
compete effectively against our competitors. A ccording to Frost & Sulli van, in 2024 we ranked first
in China’s fruit snacks industry, with a mark et share of 4.9%. See ‘‘Industry Overview.’’
RISK FACTORS
Some of the major risks we face include: (i) changes in consumer tastes, preferences and
spending habits or any unforeseen circumstances with a negative impact on consumer demand; (ii)
any negative publicity related to our brand, our products or our shareholders, directors, officers,
employees and business partners; (iii) price volatilit y, seasonality and other risks in relation to our
supply chain; (iv) our failure to upgrade existin g products, develop new products and promote new
brands; (v) our failure to compete; (vi) any negativ e publicity related to the snack food industry; and
(vii) any failure to maintain food safety and quality.

THE IMPACT OF COVID-19
In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak affected the global economy and briefly disrupted our
business operations. Approximately 30% of our pr oduction lines were suspended for approximately
30 days, while the remaining lines continued operating under closed-loop management within the
industrial park. Logistics and transportation were not interrupted, as we complied with government
disinfection requirements for food products. All of our offline marketing activities were affected due
to the pandemic, resulting in the cancellation of approximately 600 planned marketing events. In
addition, the installation of certain ancillary production facilities was delayed because the
technicians responsible for installing the production line were subject to a 28-day quarantine
before commencing work. However, these disruptions were temporary, and we soon resumed normal
operations. During the pandemic, we worked clo sely with logistics suppliers to guarantee timely
deliveries and carefully managed our production plan to fulfill customer orders. We also
implemented control measures to safeguard em ployees’ health while maintaining smooth
production and logistics processes. These measures enabled us to effectively respond to the
challenges posed by COVID-19 and maintain stable growth without any material adverse effects on
our business operations or financial performance during the pandemic.

Note:
(1) Others mainly represent plum gummy, plum-based seasoning products, plum tea and other dried-fruit products.
During the Track Record Period, changes in th e gross profit margin of our products were
primarily due to (i) the fluctuations in key raw mater ial prices, and (ii) our strategic pricing decisions
to enhance market penetration in the broader snack industry. We adjust product prices in response
to the shifting competitive landscape, raw material cost fluctuations and ongoing promotional
activities. For example, we may temporarily reduce prices for new products during launch
promotions to attract consumers’ attention, an d further calibrate pricing amid intensified
competition to reinforce our market presence. Our market-driven pricing strategies enable our
products to effectively penetrate target ma rkets while sustaining sufficient margins.
Profit for the Year
We recorded net losses in 2020 due to the implement ation of a range of restructuring initiatives,
including the adoption of our plum-centric str ategy and the optimization of our distribution
network, which adversely affected our net margins in the short term. Despite our previous
exploration of businesses in non-core dried fruit products, we steered our product development
initiatives to focus on plum-based products and o ther similar offerings, a strategic transformation
that we effected through a series of deliberat e measures commencing in 2019, including the
engagement of a branding consultancy with experience advising leading domestic consumer product
brands to support a comprehensive brand repositioning, the strengthening of messaging around the
health value of green plums, the launch of extensive nationwide marketing campaigns across major
SUMMARY

cities including Hefei, Chengdu, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Xi’an and Hangzhou, the discontinuation of
non-core dried fruit products, the streamlin ing of our distributor network to focus on key
distributors aligned with our new strategic direction, and the reallocation of significant marketing
and promotional expenditures in support of the foregoing initiatives; while these measures
collectively enhanced our brand focus and operational efficiency, they also resulted in a
short-term decline in revenue during the trans ition period. See ‘‘History, Development and
Corporate Structure — Previous Application for Listing on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.’’.
However, such initiatives helped us to establish a m ore focused product mix and distribution model.
As a result, in 2021, we had an increase in the revenue primarily driven by an increase in the sales
volume of plum-based products. Such increase in revenue and our efforts in tightening cost controls
in selling expenses, resulted in a net profit posi tion since 2021. Our profit for the year further
increased by 48.9% from RMB99.2 million in 202 3 to RMB147.7 million in 2024, primarily driven
by the continuously increasing demand of our products. Our profit for the year also increased by
23.3% from RMB147.7 million in 2 024 to RMB182.1 million in 2025.

Our net current liabilities of RMB113.2 million as o f December 31, 2024 subsequently turned to
net current assets of RMB29.1 million as of Decemb er 31, 2025, primarily due to (i) an increase in
inventories, (ii) an increase in pledged bank depos its, and (iii) a decrease in financial liabilities at
FVTPL due to our settlement of certain financial lia bilities, partially offset by (i) a decrease in cash
and cash equivalents, (ii) an increase in trade and bills payables, and (iii) an increase in
interest-bearing bank borrowings, which we re mainly attributable to the purchase of raw
materials and production equipment.
Our net current liabilities decreased from RMB239.0 million as of December 31, 2023 to
RMB113.2 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to (i) an increase in inventories, (ii) a
decrease in financial liabilities at FVTPL and (iii) an increase in trade and bills receivables, partially
offset by (i) an increase in trade and bills payabl es and (ii) an increase in interest-bearing bank

relation to our substantial procurement of raw materials and ancillary materials ahead of peak sales
season during the Chinese New Year, and an inc rease in trade and bills receivables of RMB60.0
million due to the increased sales to retail custome rs, such as supermarkets, membership stores and
snack stores, partially offset by an increase in trade and bills payables of RMB53.7 million.
Our net cash flows used in investing activiti es expanded from RMB110.1 million in 2024 to
RMB166.0 million in 2025, primarily due to our purcha se of items of property, plant and equipment
of RMB125.3 million and prepayment of leaseh old land of RMB43.2 million. During the same
period, our net cash flows from financing activ ities increased from RMB36.4 million to RMB47.3
million, primarily due to an increase in new bank loans of RMB570.8 million, partially offset by
repayment of bank loans of RMB416.8 million.

details of the identities and background of the Pre-IPO Investors and the principal terms of the
Pre-IPO Investment, see ‘‘History, Development an d Corporate Structure — Pre-IPO Investments.’’
PREVIOUS APPLICATION FOR LISTING ON THE SHENZHEN STOCK EXCHANGE
Our Company submitted an application for listing of our Shares on the ChiNext Board of the
Shenzhen Stock Exchange on June 17, 2019 (the ‘‘ A-Share Listing Application ’’). At that time, in
response to the slowing pace of sales growth, we la unched a strategic brand upgrade to differentiate
green plum products from general snacks by posi tioning them as a mainstream food category with
natural health benefits, aiming to open up broader market opportunities by appealing to everyday
consumption scenarios, thereby strengthening consumer purchase motivation. We engaged a
branding consultancy to support a comprehensive repositioning, conducted market research, and
rolled out nationwide marketing campaigns in key c ities. The strategic upgrade led to a temporary
decline in revenue and a significant increase in mar keting and promotional expenditure, therefore
our net profit was expected to decrease substantially and fail to meet the substantive financial
requirements for an A-share listing application. Accordingly, following discussions with the then
sponsor, we withdrew the A-Share Listing Application on Decembe r 8, 2019. The A-Share Listing

above, we did not encounter any material difficulties or legal impediments which led us to withdraw
the A-Share Listing Application. For further de tails, see ‘‘History, Development and Corporate

Shareholders’ interests and any other conditions that our Board may deem relevant. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to distribute dividends of the above amount or any amount, or at all,
in any year. The declaration and payment of divid ends may also be limited by legal restrictions and
by loan or other agreements that our Company and our subsidiaries have entered into or may enter
into in the future.
LISTING EXPENSES
Listing expenses consist of professional fees, u nderwriting commissions and other fees incurred
in connection with the Global Offering. We expec t to incur listing expenses of approximately
HK$59.5 million (based on the Offer Price of HK$43.58 per Offer Share and assuming the
Over-allotment Option is not exercised), which accounts for approximately 11.9% of the gross
proceeds from the Global Offering. We estimate th e listing expenses to consist of approximately
HK$20.0 million in underwriting f ees and HK$39.5 million in non-und erwriting fees. Among of the
total listing expenses, approximately HK$26.3 millio n will be directly attributable to the issue of our
Shares, which will be deducted from equity upon the completion of the Global Offering, and the
remaining HK$33.2 million will be expensed in our c onsolidated statements of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income. Our Directors do no t expect such expenses to materially impact our
results of operations in 2025. We did not recognize any listing expenses in 2023. We recognized
listing expenses of RMB5.8 million and RMB18.5 million in 2024 and 2025, respectively, in our
consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
RECENT DEVELOPMENT AND NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE
Recent Development
After the Track Record Period, we have experienced a steady business growth. The growth was
primarily driven by our continuous product development efforts and multi-channel sales network.
We launched new dried plum products and products in packages for Chinese New Year. In addition,
the sales volume continued increasing in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the same period in
2025.
SUMMARY
–1 1–


--- page 21 ---
During the course of February and April 2025, U.S. President Trump implemented tariffs on
several major trading partners, includin g China, with a baseline of 10% tariffs (‘‘ U.S. Reciprocal
Tariffs ’’). In response to the U.S. Reciprocal Tariffs , China adopted a series of trade measures
including raising its tariffs on certain U.S. goods. As of May 12, 2025, the United States and the
PRC entered into a bilateral tariff reduction arrangement under which the PRC reduced tariffs on
certain U.S. goods from 125% to 10%, while the United States lowered tariffs on Chinese goods
from 145% to 30%. This temporary reduction was su bsequently extended, and as of February 23,
2026, the 10% tariff rate imposed by the PRC on good s imported from the United States remains in
effect. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Co urt struck down tariffs imposed by President
Trump pursuant to executive orders issued unde r a national emergency statute. On the same day,
President Trump announced a 10% across-the-boar d tariff, which he increased to 15% the following
day. During the Track Record Period, our procur ement from U.S. supplie rs mainly comprised
prunes, which amounted to nil, RMB3.3 millio n and RMB16.2 million in 2023, 2024 and 2025,
respectively, representing nil, 0.3% and 1.1% of our total purchase amount during the same years.
Our procurement from U.S. suppliers increased in 2025, mainly because we procured a large amount
of prunes from the U.S. in early 2025, prior to China’ s implementation of additional tariffs on U.S.
goods or after China lowered its tariffs on U.S. goods, mainly due to customer demand for our
prune-based products. We have found alternative suppliers for comparable prunes at competitive
price. In particular, we procured prunes from Chile at comparable cost and quality subsequent to
China’s implementation of additional tariffs.
Chile is one of the world’s largest prune exporters and is renowned for producing high-quality
prunes that meet international standards in terms o f size and taste. Chile’s favorable agricultural
conditions and efficient production processes allo w it to produce prunes at a competitive cost. In
addition, the China-Chile Free Trade Agreement , originally signed in 2005 and expanded in 2019,
significantly reduces tariffs on imports from Chile , ensuring that the procurement cost of Chilean
prunes remains highly competitive. As such, we do not expect that the tariff policy changes may
directly have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Dividends Post-Track Record Period
On May 10, 2026, we declared dividends of R MB67.3 million to our shareholders based on
their equity interests in our Company as of March 31, 2026, which was fully paid on May 12, 2026.
No Material Adverse Change
Our Directors have confirmed that, up to the dat e of this prospectus, there has been no material
adverse change in our financial or trading position or prospects since December 31, 2025, being the
date of our latest audited financial statements, and there has been no event since December 31, 2025
that would materially affect the information as set out in the Accountants’ Report in Appendix I to
this prospectus.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
Any changes in consumer tastes or any unforeseen circumstances with a negative impact on consumer
demand may materially and adversely affect our business and financial performance.
Consumer demand for fruit snacks and plum-ba sed products is unpredictable and evolves
constantly. Demand is influenced by various factors such as spending power, consumption patterns,
social media trends, as well as public perception of plum-based products or the snack food in
general. Our business development depends parti ally on our ability to proactively anticipate and
identify market trends, continuously upgrade our existing products and launch new offerings in a
timely and cost-effective manner to meet evolving consumer preferences. Our products may fail to
capture shifting market trends. Any changes in consumer preferences and tastes, or our failure to
anticipate, identify or adapt to market trends, may impose pressure on our sales and the pricing of
our product, and may lead to incre ases in selling and distribution expenses. Moreover, the rapid
changes in consumer preferences require us to invest resources in product development and market
research. Notwithstanding our investment, we cannot assure you that our upgraded products or
newly launched offerings will align with market tre nds or meet consumer expectations. Any failure to
do so may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any negative publicity related to our brand, our products or our shareholders, directors, officers,
employees and business partners will materially and adversely affect our reputation and results of
operations.
Any complaints, claims or negative media coverage relating to our brand, our products or our
shareholders, directors, officers, employees and business partners may impair the goodwill of our
brand, even if such claims are meritless. Moreover , any negative publicity relating to our brand may
not only affect the market acceptance of our existing products but could also disrupt our product
development plans, causing material and adverse e ffects to our reputation and results of operations.
In addition, our marketing campaigns featuring c elebrities and KOLs are inherently risky and may
fail to deliver satisfactory outcomes. We may not a lways select a spokesperson who suits our brand
values or effectively appeals to our target consu mers, which could limit the impact of our campaigns.
Any negative publicity involving our selected celebrities and KOLs, such as scandals or
inappropriate behavior, could tarnish our brand image due to our brand’s associations with them.
There is no assurance that they will generate the exp ected market responses or lead to satisfactory
sales performance. If these campaigns fail to re sonate with our target audience, we may incur
substantial financial losses. We are also susceptib le to the risk of industry-wide restrictions on the
use of celebrities and KOLs in marketing campai gns. Such regulations c ould limit our ability to
effectively leverage endorsements, further impac ting our marketing efforts and sales outcomes. If
any of these situations occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be
materially and adversely affected.
RISK FACTORS
–2 5–


--- page 35 ---
We face various supply chain risks.
Our raw materials primarily include plums, p runes, fresh fruits and konjac, among others.
Seasoning and other auxiliary materials such as s alt and sugar are also used in our production. In
2023, 2024 and 2025, our raw ma terial costs amounted to RMB575.5 million, RMB771.4 million and
RMB807.4 million, respectively, accounting for 43.5%, 47.7% and 47.2% of total revenue for the
same years. As a result, if we are unable to procu re the necessary raw materials in sufficient
quantities at competitive prices, our production e fficiency and profit margins may be materially and
adversely affected. The costs of the raw materials are subject to price volatility caused by a variety of
factors, including shifts in supply and demand, fluctuations in commodity prices, rising logistics and
warehousing costs, our bargaining position with suppliers, as well as macroeconomic condition and
catastrophic events. There is no assurance that our raw material costs will not increase significantly
in the future, and we cannot assure you that all or part of any such increased costs can be passed to
our customers in a timely manner or at all.
Our efforts to upgrade existing products, develop new products and promote new brands may not
generate the results we expect to achieve.
In 2023, 2024 and 2025, we incurred research and development expenses of RMB33.6 million,
RMB18.9 million and RMB27.9 million, respectively. However, the process of upgrading existing
products or innovating new ones is inherently risky, and there is no guarantee that our R&D efforts
will always deliver satisfactory outcomes. Fur thermore, the commercialization of new products
depends on multiple factors which may be beyond our control, including industry trends, market
demand, production efficiency, competition and consumer acceptance. Additionally, we may
attempt to launch new sub-brands under ‘‘Liuliumei ’’, and such attempt is subject to risks relating to
incorrect judgments regarding consumer preferences, market demand and brand image and pricing.
Any delays in launching new products or sub-brands can lead to missed market opportunities or
diminish the appeal of our innovations, which, in turn, could adversely affect our brand reputation
and results of operations.
Failure to stay competitive may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and business
growth.
The snack food industry is highly competitive. We face competition from national and local
snack food companies that are seeking to expand into this market. Many of these competitors,
particularly those established snack food manufact urers, have already built strong brand recognition
and a robust consumer base across other snack cate gories. With their R&D capabilities and financial
resources, they are able to capture market trends and develop comparable or even superior products.
If they successfully enter the segments in which w e operate with products that meet consumers’
preferences, they may divert a significant portion of our existing consumers, which could negatively
affect our market shares and sales. In addition, our competitors may be able to source high-quality
plums and other raw materials at competitive prices. Specifically, they could establish strong
connections with local suppliers or leverage their economies of scale to negotiate more favorable
terms, thereby intensifying price competition withi n the industry. This heightened price competition
may pressure us to lower our retail prices to retain our consumers and attract new ones, which could
affect our profit margins and financial performance. These competitors with localized supply chains
may also minimize logistics costs, enabling the m to further lower the prices. Moreover, our
competitors may heavily invest in advertising and promotional activities to enhance their brand
visibility. This aggressive marketing approach cou ld challenge our brand recognition and force us to
increase our own advertising spending to defend our market position. As a result, we may need to
devote significant resources to sa les and marketing efforts, which ma y increase our operational costs
and place additional strain on our business growth.
RISK FACTORS
–2 6–


--- page 36 ---
Any negative publicity related to the snack food industry, including the use of food additives,
preservatives, flavor enhancers and food colorant in production, may materially and adversely affect our
reputation and results of operations.
Any negative publicity surrounding the entire snack food industry, even if it is not directly
related to our brand or products, may adversely affect the market acceptance of our products and
business operation. Media coverage or the pub lic perception regarding the use of additives,
preservatives flavor enhancers and food coloran t in snack foods may reinforce the stereotype that
snack foods are unhealthy, diverting consumers who are pivoting to healthier lifestyles.
Additionally, social media and e-commerce pla tforms play a pivotal role in shaping consumer
perceptions, which may result in the stereotypical views that portray any snacks, including the ones
that we produce, as unhealthy. Such negative perceptions could further divert potential buyers and
restrict our market reach. There is no guarantee t hat our efforts will succeed in reshaping consumers’
perception. If we are unable to effectively differentiate our products from other snack foods and
align with changing consumer trends, we may exp erience a decline in sales volume and a loss in
business opportunities.
Any failure to maintain food safety and quality could materially and adversely affect our reputation and
subject us to regulatory scrutiny.
Maintaining consistent product quality and food safety relies on the effectiveness of our quality
control systems, which may be influenced by a num ber of factors, such as the design of our quality
control systems and our ability to ensure that our employees and third parties comply with those
quality control policies and guidelines. We canno t assure you that our quality control systems would
be effective at all times, or that we can identify a ny defects in our systems in a timely manner. Issues
such as improper production, processing, delivery a nd warehousing, neglect in implementing proper
product validation, substandard raw materials, or other unforeseen events can compromise product
quality and raise food safety concerns. These issu es can lead to legal proceedings and regulatory
scrutiny, which are often costly and time-con suming. Other than these immediate effects, such
incidents can cause long-lasting damage to our brand reputation, eroding consumer trust and
affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations in the long term. In cases where
quality issues arise from suppliers, we may need to ne gotiate or initiate litigation against them to
recover losses from substandard raw materials. T hese disputes can be expen sive and divert resources
from our core operations, negatively affecting our profitability. Moreover, compensation clauses in
supplier contracts may not fully cover our financia l losses, and even if litigation is resolved in our
favor, enforcing judgments may not adequate ly compensate us for the damages incurred.
Any failure to maintain our relationships with food processing equipment suppliers may materially and
adversely affect our business operations.
We cannot assure you that our investments and upgrades in production equipment and
facilities can be carried out successfully, or generat e positive cash flows or profitable returns within a
short period of time, or at all. For example, our plum je lly factory collaborates strategically with our
Japanese equipment supplier, Orihiro, whose pro prietary aseptic filling technology significantly
extends the shelf life of plum jelly. However, we m ay not be able to maintain our relationship with
Orihiro or other overseas food processing equipment suppliers due to various reasons, such as
disputes over contractual terms, our failure to m aintain the purchase volumes stipulated in the
agreements, or general geopolitical and economic circumstances. If these partnerships were to
terminate, our production capabilities could be ne gatively impacted, as our R&D efforts may not be
able to fully replicate or replace the advanced tech nologies provided by these partners. On the other
hand, our competitors may establish similar colla borations or develop comparable production
techniques, further eroding our competitive adv antage in production. As a result, any failure to
maintain these key partnerships or find alterna tive solutions could cause material and adverse
impact on our production efficiency, product development and market position, which may in turn
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
RISK FACTORS
–2 7–


--- page 37 ---
Any inability to maintain, expand or optimize our sale s network may cause material and adverse effects
to our business operation.
Our multi-faceted sales network integrates o nline self-operated stores, supermarkets,
membership stores, snack stores and a distributorship network, encompassing both online and
offline scenarios. Revenue from our online sel f-operated stores, supermarkets and membership
stores, snack stores accounted for 33.3%, 59.2% and 69.0% of our total revenue in 2023, 2024 and
2025, respectively. However, if we are unable to con sistently maintain our relationships with these
customers or fail to attract their consumer bases, or if there are changes in the industries where our
customers, particularly snack stores, operate, or if the operational conditions of our major
customers deteriorate, we may incur significant co sts while failing to enhance our sales performance.
Moreover, as part of our omni-channel sales strategy, we have integrated e-commerce and live
commerce platforms to expand our sales, launchin g self-operated channels and flagship stores.
However, we have limited control over the operatio ns of these platforms, which could be vulnerable
to various risks, including outages, data breaches , power failures, computer viruses, cyberattacks,
vandalism and other disruptive events, which could also disrupt our operations and negatively
impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, there is no
guarantee that our online sales strategy will be implemented as planned, or at all.
Failure to manage and develop our distribution network may cause material and adverse impact on our
business operations.
Our comprehensive distribution network is key to our sales strategy in penetrating local
markets. In 2023, 2024 and 2025, our sales to distributors accounted for 66.7%, 40.8% and 31.0% of
our revenue, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, we had 1,398, 1,396 and 1,439
distributors, respectively. Any disruptions or inefficiencies in developing and managing our
distribution network may result in high operational costs, reduced sales and a weakened market
presence. However, we may not be able to maintain ou r relationships with existing distributors or
engage new ones in a timely manner and at acceptable cost. In addition, some of our distributors
may promote competitors’ product s, which can divert their efforts in selling our offerings. They may
also encounter challenges in effectively penetrati ng new markets, disrupting our market expansion
and limiting our growth potential. Managing an extensive distribution network also incurs
significant costs, including expenses related to m onitoring distributor performance, providing
training and support and maintaining incentives to ensure alignment with our sales goals. However,
there is no guarantee that we will always be successful in detecting noncompliance by our
distributors with their contractual obligations, which may harm our brand reputation and strain our
relationships with other distributors. Furthermore, if consumer demand for our products declines or
if distributor orders fail to align with actual market demand, our distributors may reduce their usual
orders or refrain from ordering new products, leading to a significant decline in sales volume. In
addition, we cannot assure you that our measures to mitigate cannibalization risks among the
distributors and other sales channels would be e ffective at all times. See ‘‘Business — Our Sales
Channels — Coordination between Sales Channel s.’’ Any disruption or failure in our ability to
optimize these channels may lea d to a material and adverse impact on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
We consider the formulas and production methods of our products as critical trade secrets, and our
failure to safeguard such secrets will harm our business operation.
Our success and continued growth greatly depend on a range of proprietary knowledge and
trade secrets, including the formulas for our products and food processing equipment and
technologies used in production. Our employees, OEM manufacturers or other business partners
may inadvertently or intentionally disclose our tra de secrets to others, including our competitors.
Any leakage of our trade secrets may cause a loss of our competitive advantage, further affecting our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
RISK FACTORS
–2 8–


--- page 38 ---
If we fail to maintain or upgrade our production eq uipment and facilities, or if we fail to successfully
implement production expansion plans, our production efficiency and business growth may be negatively
impacted.
We may encounter capacity shortages if consumer demand for our products surges. Our
production expansion plan may not be successful due to various reasons, including (i) the
availability of suitable locations for new p roduction premises, (ii) proximity to logistics
infrastructure, (iii) the sufficiency of manageme nt and financial resources, and (iv) our ability to
hire, train and retain skilled personnel. Any fa ilure to execute the plan may lead to production
capacity shortage and incur substantial investment losses, causing material and adverse effects to our
business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that investments in
expanding or upgrading our production facilities will succeed or generate profits in the short term.
These investments may rather become wasteful or obsolete due to the rapid technological
advancements or shifts in industry standards. Failure to effectively expand our production
capacity or adapt to technological changes could hinder our future growth.
Any disruption to our production process or incidents related to our production may materially and
adversely affect our business operations.
Our production process is subject to potential disruptions arise from a variety of causes,
including equipment malfunctions or personnel misconduct, which may be beyond our control. We
may also face the risk that repairs may be delayed. Any such delay in repairing critical production
equipment could result in extended periods of downt ime, leading to significant interruptions in our
production processes, which would undermin e our ability to meet market demand and impact our
inventory levels. In addition to disruption risks caused by human error or equipment malfunctions,
our production may be severely disrupted by natu ral disasters and other force majeure events,
including fires, earthquakes, pandemics, or extreme weather conditions such as droughts, floods,
severe heat or cold, typhoons or storms. Such events may cause extensive damage to our production
facilities, rendering our machinery and infrast ructure inoperable for extended periods of time.
Furthermore, these events may also disrupt essent ial services such as power, water or gas supplies,
which are critical to our production processes. In addition, transportation channels could be
affected, limiting our ability to source raw mater ials or distribute finished goods to customers,
further compounding adverse effects to our business, financial condition and results of operations. If
we are unable to resume production in a timely manner following production disruption, or if we
cannot find alternative production facilities t o continue operations, we may face significant
challenges in meeting consumer demand, resulting i n delays in product delivery, inventory shortages
and loss of customer trust. Additionally, prolonged or repeated production disruptions would result
in increased operational costs, redu ced sales and diminis hed profitability.
Our engagement with third-party contractors and OEM suppliers may reduce our control over food
safety, product quality, manufacturing yields, development and product delivery schedules.
We typically engage contractors to facilitate onl y certain phases of the production, such as the
pickling for our dried plum snacks. We also engage OEM suppliers for the production of plum jelly
and other plum-based products, due to the ever- increasing demand for our products. In these
collaborations, we provide raw materials directly to the third-party contra ctors and OEM suppliers
and require them to adhere to our strict quality standards and operational guidelines. However, we
may lack sufficient control over the preliminary processing and production of our contractors and
OEM suppliers, facing the risk that they may not fully comply with our production guidelines or fail
to meet our quality requirements. In particular, the y may experience operational issues that result in
delays or inadequate production volumes, which could leave us unable to meet consumer demand.
Additionally, these contractors’ and OEM supp liers’ failure to comply with our quality control
standards may cause food safety concerns and quality issues. If the products do not meet the
required quality standards, we may face product r ecalls, customer complaints, legal claims, or
regulatory penalties, all of which could lead to sig nificant financial liabilities and harm our brand
image.
RISK FACTORS
–2 9–


--- page 39 ---
We face the risk of inventory obsolescence.
As of December 31, 2023, 2024 a nd 2025, we had inventories of RMB425.9 million, RMB523.7
million and RMB673.4 million, respectively. Our in ventory turnover days in 2023, 2024 and 2025
were 181.7 days, 167.7 days and 198.2 days, respect ively. Our ability to accura tely forecast consumer
demand is essential for maintaining an optimal inv entory level, given the short shelf life of both our
raw materials and finished products. However, unanticipated events may significantly affect
consumer demand, leading to excess inventory, which could further result in inventory obsolescence,
a decline in inventory value, or the need for inven tory write-downs. We cannot assure that our
inventory management system will always function effectively. Any inefficiencies or failures in the
system may further exacerbate inventory-related i ssues and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Disruptions in our own or third-party warehouses could damage raw materials, work-in-progress and
finished products, while delays or mishandling by third-party logistics providers may affect timely
product delivery.
During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we primarily operated
our own warehouses. During peak sales seasons o r raw material procurement periods, we rent
third-party warehouses on a small scale to store raw materials, work-in-prog ress and finished goods.
Some unforeseeable events that are beyond our c ontrol, such as climate disasters, may lead to
inventory loss, delays in delivery and disruptions in our supply chain which could disrupt our
operations, strain customer relationships and cau se financial losses. During the Track Record Period
and as of the Latest Practicable Date, the majority of our product transportation was provided by
independent third-party logistics service provide rs. Our logistics providers may delay their delivery
due to unforeseeable events beyond our control, such as natural disasters, tra ffic accidents or labor
strikes, disrupting our business operations. Furth ermore, if any of our logistics providers were to
suspend their services, we may not be able to promp tly secure a suitable alternative provider, which
could lead to delivery delays, hindering our ability to timely meet customer demand. We also face the
risk that our logistics providers may mishandle our products during delivery, resulting in damaged
goods. Such incidents can lead to customer dissatisfaction and harm our brand reputation. If
customers consistently receive products in poor condition, we may suffer from loss of customers, an
increase in product returns or complaints, further exacerbating the adverse effects on our
competitiveness and market position. Moreover, we may encounter increases in the cost of
logistics services, which could place additional financial pressure on our operational expenses. If we
are unable to either absorb these increased costs or pass them on to our customers through price
adjustments, our profit margins will be reduced, wh ich may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Our measures may not completely avoid the occurrence of channel stuffing among different distribution
channels.
We operate a comprehensive and diversified sale s network that includes self-operated online
stores, supermarkets, membership stores, snack sh ops and an extensive network of distributors and
sub-distributors. We depend on distributors to pr ovide self-reported inventory data and primarily
conduct sample-based inventory reviews rather than comprehensive evaluations. Since we do not
have direct contractual relatio nships with sub-distributors, our visibility and control over their
inventory and sales practices remain limited. The rela tively short shelf life of our products increases
the risk of overstocking and potential product wastage if demand is overestimated. If distributors or
sub-distributors purchase more products than they can sell to end customers — whether to meet
minimum purchase requirements, take advantage of sales incentives, or for other reasons — it may
result in channel stuffing. Channe l stuffing can lead to excessive inventory build-up at the distributor
or sub-distributor level, heighten risks of product expiry or write-offs, and distort our sales figures
for the relevant year. If significant channel stuffi ng occurs, it could negatively impact our business,
financial condition, operational results, and brand reputation.

Changes in international trade policies, geopolitics and trade tariffs, export controls, economic or trade
sanctions and foreign currency movements may materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Our overseas business expansion is exposed to inte rnational trade policies, geopolitical tensions
and the imposition of tariffs, e xport controls or economic sanctions, which are inherently
unpredictable and beyond our control. In particular, geopolitical tensions and economic sanctions
may lead to restrictions on our product sales and r aw material procurement in certain countries,
limiting our access to key markets. Changes in trad e or investment agreements could result in bans
or limitations on our goods, thereby curbing our expansion efforts. In addition, sanctions could
strain our relationships with foreign partners and suppliers, adversely aff ecting our international
business.
Additionally, heightened tensions may shift con sumer preferences in overseas markets toward
domestically produced products, reducing demand for imported goods, including ours. In some
regions, we may face increased tariffs on our product s, driving up our products’ prices, undermining
our competitiveness and impacting our profit margins.
During the course of February and April 2025, U.S. President Trump implemented tariffs on
several major trading partners, including Canada, China, the European Union and Mexico, with a
baseline of 10% tariffs on all countries and an additional individualized reciprocal higher tariff on
the countries with which the U.S. has the largest trade deficits (‘‘ U.S. Reciprocal Tariffs ’’). In
response to the U.S. Reciprocal Tariffs, China adop ted a series of trade measures including raising
its tariffs on U.S. goods to 125%, which was subsequently suspended on May 12, 2025 for 90 days,
but will retain a 10% tariff during the period of the pause. This temporary reduction was
subsequently extended, and as of February 23, 2026, the 10% tariff rate imposed by the PRC on
goods imported from the United States remains in effect. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme
Court struck down tariffs imposed by President Trump pursuant to executive orders issued under a
national emergency statute. On the same day, Pr esident Trump announced a 10% across-the-board
tariff, which he increased to 15% the following d ay. During the Track Record Period, we sourced
certain prunes from the U.S. Our procurement f rom U.S. suppliers mainly comprised prunes,
representing nil, 0.3% and 1.1% of the total purch ase amount in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
We continued to procure prunes from the U.S., prio r to China’s implementation of additional tariffs
on U.S. goods or after China’s lower tariffs on U.S. goods, mainly due to customer demand for our
prune-based products. Under the new tariff regime , we may incur additional costs in these purchases
going forward. We may not be able to absorb the increased procurement costs or pass the costs to
consumers, thereby facing the decline in p rofitability of our prune-based products.
Moreover, these tariffs as well as their scope of application remain subject to further
negotiations and adjustments. There is also substant ial uncertainty in relation to the interpretation,
implementation and administration of the tariffs. Exi sting bilateral or multila teral trade agreements
between the U.S. and other countries may also affect the scope of application of the U.S. Reciprocal
tariffs. It is therefore uncertain how China may adjust its trade measures on U.S. goods. If China’s
tariffs on the U.S. goods continue to rise, and we ar e unable to find the alternative prune suppliers in
a timely and cost-effective manner, we may bear substantial cost surges that may adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, we are exposed to foreign currency ris k, as exchange rates fluctuate, related to our
procurement of raw materials and equipment, as well as our product exports. During the Track
Record Period, our procurement settled in foreign currency accounted for 15.3%, 13.3% and 22.6%
of the cost of sales in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The translational and transactional impacts
caused by fluctuation in exchange rates vary over time and may be more material in the future. There
can be no assurance that we can implement effecti ve measures to reduce or eliminate our exposure to
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
RISK FACTORS

Counterfeit products that misappropriate our bran d may significantly harm our reputation and brand
image, and divert potential customers.
Our well-established brand has drawn the attention of imitators who produce and sell
unauthorized replicas of our products, misapp ropriating our brand without permission. These
counterfeit goods can potentially mislead our curre nt and prospective customers, resulting in the loss
of sales. In addition, low-quality counterfeit products could tarnish our brand reputation, leading to
a decline in financial performance, a reduction in market share and the need to allocate additional
resources towards identifying and pursuing legal action against these infringements. We cannot
assure you that our measures to curb the productio n and distribution of counterfeit products will
fully prevent unauthorized use of our trademarks or the imitation of our products. Ongoing
challenges with counterfeit goods could erode consumer trust and undermine our brand recognition,
ultimately affecting our bu siness, financial conditio n and results of operations.
If we fail to maintain our relationships with our cu stomers or meet their changing preferences, our
results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Our major customers primarily comprise major r etailers and distributors. During the Track
Record Period, revenue from our five largest customers in each year accounted for 14.2%, 33.1%
and 45.8% of our total revenue for the respective year. During the Track Record Period, revenue
from our largest customer in each year accounted for 3.4%, 14.1% and 16.4% of our total revenue
for the respective year. Any factors that cause these major customers to reduce their purchases,
including economic downturns, shifts in industry trends, or changes in their preferences, could
significantly affect the results of our operations. If some of our major customers encounter
operational issues, or if we fail to maintain or grow our revenue from existing customers or to
establish relationships with new customers, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our business is subject to seasonality, which may cause fluctuations in consumer demand for our
products.
Consumer demand for our products is subject to seasonality. We experience pronounced sales
peaks during major holiday seasons and shopping events, such as Chinese New Year, the 618
Shopping Festival and Double Eleven. Meanwhile ,w ea l s oh a v el o ws e a s o n sw h e r ew ee x p e r i e n c e
lower profitability and reduced utilization of our production facilities. Our sales fluctuate due to
various factors, including, amo ng others, the timing of new product launches and the scheduling of
marketing and promotional activities. As a resul t, comparing sales and operating results across
different periods may not provide an accurate repres entation of our overall performance. Our results
in any given quarter or half-year period may not necessarily reflect the outcomes we may achieve for
the entire fiscal year. Therefore, you should be cauti ous when interpreting interim financial results,
as they may not be an accurate predic tor of our full-year performance.
We may not be able to sustain our historical growth rate, and our historical results of operations and
financial performance may not be indicative of our future growth or future performance.
Our revenue growth during the Track Record Peri od was primarily driven by the success of our
newly launched products, such as plum jelly and Chilean pitted prunes. However, we cannot
guarantee that future product launches will achi eve similar outcomes, as consumer preferences are
inherently unpredictable, and our innovations may not always resonate with customers to the same
extent as past offerings. Similarly, while our mar keting and promotional campaigns have been
effective during the Track Record Period, we c annot assure you that these strategies can be
replicated with the same level of success in the fu ture. Additionally, consumer demand can shift
quickly due to changing market tr ends and tastes, or external fact ors. We may not always be able to
anticipate or capture these changes in a timely ma nner, which could affect our ability to sustain
business growth.
RISK FACTORS
–3 2–


--- page 42 ---
We may not be able to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property or may be involved in legal
disputes of infringement of third parties’ intellectual property, which may harm our reputation and
brand value, and adversely affect our business operations.
As of the Latest Practicable Date, we registe red 42 invention and utility model patents, 40
trademarks and 77 copyrights that are material to our business operations in China. However, we
face the risk of unauthorized use or infringement by third parties, particularly in cases where
counterfeit products misappropriate our intellectual property. Such infringement can be difficult to
detect and may harm our brand reputation and div ert our market share. We cannot assure you that
our measures to protect our intellectual property may always be effective. We may need to engage in
costly and time-consuming litigation to enforce ou r rights, with no guarantee of success. Failure to
protect our intellectual property could have a material adverse impact on our business operations
and product development. Monitoring and enforcing our rights can be challenging and
resource-intensive, and any failu re to safeguard our intellectual property could negatively affect
our business and market position. We also face the risk of being accused of infringing third parties’
intellectual property. Defend ing against these claims can be expensive and could damage our
reputation, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to retain, attract, recruit and train management and other key personnel.
The composition and ongoing commitment of ou r management team have been critical to our
success and operational efficiency. If there are significant changes in the composition of our
management team or if key employees depart, we may not be able to find suitable replacements with
comparable industry expertise. Additionally, new recruits might not seamlessly adapt to our business
operation, leading to potential disruptions. Recruiting and training new personnel may also incur
additional costs and delay our growth, weakening our competitiveness and disrupting our
operations. The loss of such experienced leade rship could also affect our brand reputation and
our ability to maintain customer relationships.
Any failure to offer high-quality after-sales services or promptly address consumer complaints may
harm our relationships with them and, consequently, our business.
To maintain and enhance customer relationship s, providing high-quality after-sales services
and addressing consumers’ complaints are essential. We cannot assure you that we can always
provide satisfactory services to e very customer. There is a possib ility that our after-sales team may,
at times, unintentionally overlook certain compla ints, leading to customer dissatisfaction and
straining our relationships wit h customers. In the long term, such issues may harm our business
reputation and weaken customer trust, which wo uld adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Our failure to timely collect our trade and bills rece ivables, other receivabl es and prepayments may
adversely affect our financial performance.
We generally grant a credit period of one month to our retailer customers, and may extend up
to 30 to 60 days for major retailer customers. As of December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, our trade and
bills receivables were RMB80.5 million, RMB162 .9 million and RMB221.0 million, respectively. We
cannot guarantee that our customers or other parties could make payments to us in a timely manner,
and delays in their payments may cause an adverse effect on our liquidity position and working
capital efficiency, which may in turn increase our finance costs and adversely affect our financial
performance. Our trade and bills receivables tu rnover days were 23.4 days, 28.9 days and 42.7 days
in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively . With the expansion of our business, there is a possibility that
these turnover days will increase in the future, which will make it more challenging for us to manage
our working capital effectively, and our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may
be materially and adversely affected. In addit ion, our prepayments may involve significant
uncertainties. As of December 31, 2023, 2024 an d 2025, the balance of our prepayments, other
receivables and other assets was RMB81.6 millio n, RMB147.4 million and RMB182.5 million,
respectively. However, we cannot assure you that s uppliers and third-party service providers will
RISK FACTORS

--- page 43 ---
perform their obligations in a timely manner, whi ch may cause prepayment default and impairment
loss risk in relation to the prepayments, causing material and adverse effect to our business and
financial position. We cannot assure you that we will not incur material impairment losses in the
future.
We are subject to the risk of exposure to fair value change for our financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss (‘‘FVTPL’’) and valuation uncertainty due to the use of unobservable inputs.
Our financial assets at FVTPL primarily arose f rom our repurchase righ ts and other embedded
derivatives associated with specia l rights granted to shareholders, which are measured at fair value
with fair value, determined using significant unob servable inputs and valuation techniques. As of
December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, our financial assets at FVTPL amounted to RMB262.5 million,
RMB171.1 million and nil, respectively. The value of these equity instrument can fluctuate due to
various factors, such as market volatility, changes i n interest rates, shifts in our creditworthiness,
and other market-driven variables. The valuation o f these financial assets and equity instrument can
be highly uncertain, especially when unobservable inputs are used in valuation models. These inputs
might not accurately reflect actual market condit ions or could be based on assumptions that may not
materialize, leading to potential discrepancies b etween the recorded fair value and the price we might
obtain in an actual transaction. Any changes in th e fair value change of financial assets at FVTPL
may adversely affect our profit and loss statemen ts, potentially impacting our overall financial
condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will recognize fair value gains
from financial assets in the future.
If we are unable to perform our contracts, our results of operations and financial condition may be
adversely affected.
Contract liabilities mainly arise from the advan ce payments received from distributors while
the underlying goods are yet to be provided. As of December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, we had
contract liabilities of RMB122.3 million, RMB73. 2 million and RMB83.8 million, respectively. If we
fail to honor our obligations under our contracts with customers, we may not be able to convert such
contract liabilities into revenue, and our custome rs may also require us to refund the prepayments
they have made, which may in turn adversely affect our financial performance. In addition, any
failure to honor our contractual obligations to customers may result in our relationship with such
customers to deteriorate, which may further affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations in the future.
We had net current liabilities during the Track R ecord Period. We cannot a ssure you that we will not
experience net current liabilities or net liabilities in the future, which could expose us to liquidity risks.
We had net current liabilities and assets duri ng the Track Record Period. As of December 31,
2023, 2024 and 2025, we recorded net current lia bilities of RMB239.0 million, RMB113.2 million and
net current assets of RMB29.1 million, respectively , mainly arising from our inventories, financial
liabilities at FVTPL, trade and bills receivables a nd interest-bearing bank borrowings. We cannot
assure you that we will not experience liquidity problems in the future. If we fail to maintain
sufficient cash and financing, we may not have suffi cient cash flows to fund our business operations
and capital expenditure and our business and financial position will be adversely affected.
We may experience discontinuation, reduction or delay of any preferential tax treatments or
government grants.
During the Track Record Period, we benefited from preferential tax treatment under relevant
tax policies. For example, certain o f our subsidiaries were qualifie d as small and micro enterprises
and were entitled to preferential corporate income tax rates of 5% in 2023, 2024 and 2025,
respectively. One of our subsidiaries in China wa s approved as High and Ne w Technology Enterprise
in 2022 and was entitled to a preferential corporate income tax rate of 15% in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
This qualification is subject to review by the rel evant tax authority in the PRC every three years. If
we lose eligibility for these tax incentives, ou r income tax expenses may increase, potentially

affecting our financial results and profitability. We also receive government grants and subsidies,
primarily in the form of non-recurring financial assistance from local governments. These grants
amounted to RMB19.5 million, RMB33.8 millio n and RMB23.7 million in 2023, 2024 and 2025,
respectively. See Note 6 to the Accountants’ Repo rt in Appendix I to this prospectus. However, we
cannot assure you that we will continue to receive or benefit from such government support in the
future, and any reduction or cessation of these grants could adversely impact our financial
performance.
We may be subject to additional contributions of social insurance and housing provident funds and late
payments and fines imposed by relevant governmental authorities.
Pursuant to relevant PRC laws and regulations, e mployers are obligated to directly and duly
contribute to social insurance and housing provident funds for their employees. During the Track
Record Period, we failed to make and had not made social insurance and ho using provident funds
for some of our employees in full in accordance with the relevant PRC laws and regulations.
According to the applicable laws and regulations, the relevant co mpetent authorities may demand
that we take rectification measures. If we fail to take the measures as demanded, we may be subject
to fines. In addition, we engaged a third-party human resource agency to pay social insurance and
housing provident funds for a small number of our employees during the Track Record Period.
During the Track Record Period, the shortfall of our social insurance and housing provident
fund contributions amounted to approx imately RMB5.0 million, RMB5.2 million and RMB4.9
million in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Accord ing to the Social Insurance Law of the PRC ( 《中
華人民共和國社會保險法》), for the shortfall of social insura nce, we may be subject to the following
legal consequences: (i) to compensate for the shor tfall within a prescribed period and to pay a daily
overdue charge of 0.05% of the delayed payment amount, and (ii) to pay a fine of one to three times
the overdue amount if such payment is not made with in the stipulated period. Under the Regulations
on the Administration of Housing Provident Fund ( 《住房公積金管理條例》), for the shortfall of
housing provident funds, we may be subject to the f ollowing legal consequences: (i) to compensate
for the shortfall within a prescribed period, and (ii) an application may be made to the courts for
compulsory enforcement if the payment is not ma de within such time limit. In light of Article 19(1)
of the Supreme People’s Court’s Interpretation II on Several Issues Concerning the Application of
Law in Labor Dispute Cases ( 《最高人民法院關於審理勞動爭議案件適用法律問題的解釋（二）》)( t h e
‘‘New Judicial Interpretation ’’), any agreement or undertaking that exempts an employer from paying
social insurance contributions shall be deemed invalid. See ‘‘Re gulatory Overview — Regulations
Relating to Labor and Social Security.’’ As a resu lt, we may be required by competent authorities to
pay the outstanding amount, and could be subject to late payment penalties or enforcement
application made to the court.
The social insurance and housing provident contributions made by the third-party human
resource agency amounted to RMB1.4 million, RM B1.5 million and RMB1.2 million, respectively,
with the shortfall of such contributions amounting to RMB83.6 thousand, RMB81.8 thousand and
RMB127 thousand in 2023, 2024 and 2025, res pectively. We might be subject to additional
contribution, late payment fee and/or penalties imposed by the relevant authorities if the third-party
human resource agency failed to pay the social insurance or housing provident funds for the relevant
employees in full and/or in a timely manner, or if the validity of such arrangements are challenged by
relevant authorities. We might also be subject to potential labor disputes arising from such
arrangements with the relevant employees.
We cannot assure you that the relevant governme ntal authorities will not require us to pay the
outstanding amount and impose late fees or fines, pecuniary penalties or other administrative
actions on us. If we are otherwise subject to investig ations of such incidents related to labor laws and
are imposed severe penalties or incur significant l egal fees in connection with labor law disputes or
investigations, our results of operations, fina ncial performance and business prospects may be
materially and adversely affected.
RISK FACTORS

We are subject to various risks relating to third-party payments.
During the Track Record Period, certain of our c ustomers (individually or collectively, the
‘‘Relevant Customer(s) ’’) settled payments with us throug h accounts that do not belong to the
contractual parties, except for those settled thro ugh the accounts of the operators in the case of sole
proprietorships, under the corresponding sales and purchase agreements (the ‘‘ Third Party Payment
Arrangements ’’). In 2023, 2024 and 2025, the aggregate amount settled with the Relevant Customers
under the Third-Party Payment Arrangem ents was RMB299.8 million, RMB193.7 million and
RMB73.1 million, respectively, representing 22. 7%, 12.0% and 4.3% of the total revenue for the
same years. See ‘‘Business — Our Customers — T hird-Party Payment Arrangements.’’ We are
subject to various risks relating to such Third-p arty Payment Arrangements, including possible
claims from third-party payers for the return of funds, and possible claims from liquidators of
third-party payers. In the event of any claims from third-party payers or their liquidators, or legal
proceedings (whether civil or criminal) institute d or brought against us in respect of third-party
payments, we may have to expend financial and managerial resources to defend against such claims
and legal proceedings, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may as a result
be adversely affected.
Any defect of our IT systems can subject us to regulatory scrutiny and legal proceedings, damaging our
reputation and negatively affecting our operation.
Our IT systems are susceptible to interruptions and data breaches due to a variety of factors
beyond our control. These could include natural disasters, telecommunications failures, system
flaws, cyberattacks, computer viruses, hacking a ttempts and other security vulnerabilities. Any
significant disruption to our IT systems could lead to operational delays, potentially interrupting our
production or delivery processes, which in tur n may result in lost sales and damage to our
reputation. To support our growth and adapt to the evolving digital landscape, we periodically
implement, modify and upgrade our IT systems, pa rticularly as we expand our online presence and
digitalize our production process. These upgrades often require significant investment, but there is
no guarantee that these modifications or upgrade s will deliver the expected benefits or lead to
increased profitability. In fact, such changes coul d introduce new technical issues, disrupt ongoing
operations or fail to generate returns that justi fy the incurred costs, potentially impacting our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
We face ESG-related risks.
We are subject to an increasingly complex frame work of ESG-related laws and regulations. We
are committed to improve our ESG performance across our business operations. However, we may
fail to uphold ourselves to the ESG standards. As consumers, investors and other stakeholders
increasingly prioritize ESG-rela ted issues, any perceived lapse in ou r commitment to these principles
could damage our brand and public image, makin g it harder to maintain customer loyalty and
attract investment. In turn, this noncomplianc e could cause a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be involved in legal proceedings and disputes, which could materially and adversely affect our
reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to the risks of litigation or legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business,
including matters related to product liability, labo rd i s p u t e so rc o n t r a c t u a ldisagreements. Whether
or not we can successfully defend against such cla ims, they could generate negative publicity,
damage our brand reputation and reduce consumer demand for our products. Becoming involved in
litigation could cause significant legal expens es, with uncertain outcomes that could lead to
unfavorable settlements or rulings adversely affecting our financial condition. In addition, managing
these legal matters would require substantial time and resources from our management, diverting
their attention from core business operations and potentially impacting ou r overall performance.
RISK FACTORS
–3 6–


--- page 46 ---
We may encounter challenges in expanding our business overseas.
We have expanded our presence beyond China and are committed to continuing our global
expansion efforts, but our efforts may fail due t o our limited overseas operating experience. In
particular, our overseas operations are subject to complex and diverse regulatory environments. The
costs associated with complying with local laws and regulations may be substantial and could impose
significant operational burdens. We also face challenges in anticipating foreign consumers’
preferences due to different cultural contexts, taste profiles and consumption patterns. Our
inability to adapt our products to suit local tast es could limit demand and slow the growth of our
overseas business. Likewise, our branding and marketing strategies developed for the Chinese
market may not resonate with consumers in other countries, making it difficult to establish our
brand recognition. Moreover, we may fail to establish strong, cost-effective relationships with local
suppliers in overseas markets, which could drive up our procurement costs and further reduce our
profit margins. Without the ability to secure relia ble and efficient suppliers, our ability to operate
sustainably and profitably in these new markets m ay be compromised. Altogether, these challenges
could hinder our ability to successfully expand ove rseas, leading to increase d costs, delayed growth
and negative impact on our overall profitability.
We may not have sufficient insurance coverage to cover our business risks, including all losses or
potential claims by our customers, which would affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
We carry limited statutory insurance, which we b elieve aligns with industry standards for
businesses of our size and type. See ‘‘Business — Insurance.’’ However, if we incur substantial
uninsured losses, our financial results and operatio nal performance could be significantly impacted.
Additionally, we do not have insurance coverage for product liability or business interruptions
caused by natural disasters such as droughts, f loods, earthquakes or severe weather, nor for
disruptions in utility supply or o ther unforeseen events. Any cla ims related to product liability,
operational interruptions or the resulting losses c ould materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
We may face risks relating to labor relations, labor disputes, labor shortages and increases in labor
costs.
The production and sale of our products are labo r-intensive processes, and our success relies on
our ability to hire, train, retain and motivate a skilled workforce. Any deterioration in our
relationships with employees may lead to labor disp utes, potentially resulting in disruption to our
production and operations, which would adversely affect our business operations. As China’s
economy continues to grow, labor costs are expected to continue to increase. Additionally, labor
shortages and an aging population may exacerbate the labor cost issue. To remain competitive, we
may need to offer higher compensation packages, wh ich could materially increase our labor costs
and negatively impact our profitability, financial condition and results of operations. Prolonged
labor shortages or further inflation in labor costs could intensify these challenges and restrict our
ability to expand or maintain operations efficiently.
Our employees are subject to risks of injury caused by the use of production equipment and machinery.
Our production involves the use of production machinery and equipment, all of which carry
inherent safety risks. The use of such production machinery and equipment may cause industrial
accidents and personal i njury to our employees, exposing us t o legal liabilities and regulatory
penalties. Our insurance coverage may be insufficient to completely offset the losses or claims that
arise from such incidents. We cannot guarantee that accidents will not occur in the future and, in the
event of a major accident, we may face substantia l claims for property damage and personal injury.
These incidents could result in costly medical ex penses, compensation payments to employees and
their families and potential fines or penalties imposed by regulatory authorities. In addition to the
financial costs, such accidents could significant ly damage our reputation and brand image, affecting

trust in our ability to maintain safe operations. Furthermore, ongoing challenges related to
workplace safety may also affect our ability to attr act and retain talent, further compounding the
negative effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to risks in relation to our owned and leased properties.
A so ft h eL a t e s tP r a c t i c a b l eD a t e ,w ew e r en o ta ble to obtain the relevant title certificates for
certain owned properties situated on two parcels of land for which we had land use right Among
these properties, no. 17 plant building at the Gu angxi facility was primarily used for pickling and
drying, with a gross floor area accounting for approximately 4% of the total gross floor area of our
self-owned properties. The property without titl e certificate at Fujian Liuliu was mainly used as
sun-drying facilities for the drying process of our raw materials, with a gross floor area of these
properties accounting for approximately 3% of our total owned properties as of the Latest
Practicable Date. We acquired the land with such bu ildings that lacked the title certificates at the
time, due to incomplete regulato ry procedures, as a result of which these properties do not have the
necessary construction approval procedures to obta in title certificates. As advised by the PRC Legal
Advisor, the relevant competent authorities may order the construction entity to demolish the
buildings or structures, and confiscate the build ings or structures or any income illegally earned
from such buildings or structures; and/or impose a fine of not more than 10% of the construction
cost. See ‘‘Business — Properties — Owned Propert ies.’’ In addition, we commenced the production
at our plum processing facilities for sun-drying and pickling in Guangxi without completing the
filing of the inspection and acceptance check ( 竣工驗收備案) with relevant authorities. In Fujian, we
began utilizing a building for employee dormitory a nd cafeteria purposes prior to completing the
filing of final inspection and acceptance check with re levant authorities. As of the Latest Practicable
Date, we had obtained the ownership certificat e for employee dormitory A of Fujian Green Plum.
See ‘‘— Licenses, Approvals an d Permits — Non-compliance — Inco mplete Acceptance Check for
the Plum Processing Facility in Daxin, Guangxi ’’ and ‘‘— Licenses, Approvals and Permits —
Non-compliance — Incomplete Acce ptance Check for Employee Dormitory in Fujian,’’ respectively.
Pursuant to the applicable laws and regulations in China, property lease agreements for leased
buildings must be registered with the relevant real e state administration bureaus in China. As of the
Latest Practicable Date, we had not registered the l ease agreements for nine of our leased properties
with the relevant competent authorities in accordan ce with applicable laws and regulations in China.
Our PRC Legal Advisor advised us that the lack of registration does not affect the validity and
enforceability of the lease agreements, but we may be subject to fines from RMB1,000 to RMB10,000
for each such lease agreement for failure to register .A so ft h eL a t e s tP r a c t i c able Date, lessors of five
out of our 20 leased properties with an aggregate gross floor area of 1,296.45 sq.m. failed to provide
us their property ownership certificates or proof of authorizations from the property owners.
Additionally, as of the same date, the actual use of two out of our 20 leased properties with an
aggregate gross floor area of 140.76 sq.m. did not fit into the prescribed scope of usage shown on the
relevant certificates. As advised by our PRC Leg al Advisor, for the leas ed properties that were
subject to title defects or with inconsistent usage , the property owners and the relevant lessors shall
take the responsibility to obtain valid title certifi cates and ensure the actual usage complies with the
prescribed usage of the properties. As the tenants, we would not be subject to any administrative
penalties pursuant to the relevant laws and regulati ons. However, if any of these leases is terminated
as a result of challenges by third parties, we may not be able to continue to use the properties. See
‘‘Business — Properties — Leased Properties .’’ Furthermore, we may be exposed to risks of
unexpected early lease termination at the request of the lessors or other reasons beyond our control,
and the relevant facilities need to be temporarily closed if we are unable to identify suitable premises
on acceptable terms to relocate in a timely manner. There is no assurance that we will not be subject
to any administrative penalties for these defectiv e titles in the future, and if this were to happen, our
business, results of operation and financi al position may be adversely affected.

Our business growth, financial condition and prospects may be affected by any future occurrence of
force majeure events, changes in global and regional macroeconomic conditions, natural disasters,
health epidemics and pandemics, and social disruption and other outbreaks.
Uncertainties about global economic conditions and regulatory changes and other factors
including fluctuation of interest rates, inflatio n level, unemployment, labor and healthcare costs,
access to credit, consumer confidence and oth er macroeconomic factors may pose risks and
materially and adversely affect demand for our solutions. In addition, force majeure events or
natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, sandstorms, snowstorms, fire or drought, the outbreak
of a widespread health epidemic or any severe e pidemic disease such as SARS, Ebola, Zika or the
COVID-19, acts of war, terrorism or other force majeure events beyond our control may disrupt our
R&D, commercialization activities and business op erations, all of which could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and prospects.
RISKS RELATING TO DOING BUSINESS IN THE JURISDICTION WHERE WE OPERATE
Changes in the economic policies of the geographic markets in which we operate may pose challenges to
our ability to maintain our current expansion plans and overall business performance and affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
A significant portion of our business assets are conducted in China, and nearly all of our sales
are currently derived from the Chinese market. As a result, our financial performance, growth
prospects and overall business operations are heavily influenced by economic and legal developments
in China. In recent years, the Chinese government has introduced a series of laws, regulations and
policies that impose stricter standards on the snack food industry in which we operate our business,
particularly regarding food safety and the production process. If the government continues to
implement stricter regulations, we may face rising compliance costs, w hich could adversely affect our
profitability. Additionally, our business is subject to the broad er macroeconomic conditions in
China, which affect consumer behavior, spending power and consumption patterns. Any downturn
in the Chinese economy, shifts in disposable in come, or changes in consumer preferences could
negatively impact demand for our products, further affecting our financial results.
We may be subject to the approval or other requirements of the CSRC or other PRC governmental
authorities in connection with future capital raising activities.
On February 17, 2023, the China Securities Re gulatory Commission (CSRC) issued the Trial
Administrative Measures for Overseas Securiti es Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies ( 《境
內企業境外發行證券和上市管理試行辦法》) (the ‘‘Overseas Listing Trial Measures ’’) and five related
guidelines, which became effective on March 31, 2023. These measures require PRC domestic
companies conducting overseas offerings or listing s to complete filing procedures and report relevant
information to the CSRC for any future securities offerings in the same or other overseas markets
(the ‘‘Future Offerings ’’). As a result, we will be required to comply with the CSRC’s filing
requirements for any Future Offerings. Howe ver, we cannot assure you that we will be able to
complete these filing procedures in a timely mann er, or at all, which could adversely affect our
ability to carry out Future Offerings. Moreover, we c annot guarantee that future laws or regulations
will not impose additional requirements or restricti ons on our financing activities. If it is determined
in the future that approval from, or filing with, the CSRC or other regulatory authorities is required
for this Global Offering or our future financing ac tivities, we may fail to obtain such approval,
perform the necessary filing procedures, or meet oth er regulatory requirements, either in a timely
manner or at all. In such a case, we could face potential sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC
regulatory authorities, which could include fines, p enalties, restrictions on our operating activities
within China, or limitations on our ability to pay di vidends outside of China. Any of these outcomes
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

It may be difficult to effect service of process upon us or our management that reside in China or to
enforce against them or us in China any judgments obtained from foreign courts.
We are a company incorporated under the laws of the PRC, with all of our business operations
and assets located in China. Additionally, the majo rity of our Directors, Supervisors and executive
officers reside in China, and their assets are lar gely based in China as well. Consequently, it may be
difficult for investors to initiate legal proceedings or serve process on us or our key personnel outside
of China, including in the United States or other jur isdictions, particularly for matters related to
U.S. federal or state securities laws. China a nd Hong Kong entered into the Arrangement on
Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement of Jud gments in Civil and Commercial Matters by the
Courts of the Mainland and of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Pursuant to Choice of
Court Agreements between Parties Concerned which came into effect on August 1, 2008. This was
abolished on January 29, 2024, pursuant to which a party with an enforceable final court judgment
rendered by any designated people’s court of Chi na or any designated Hong Kong court requiring
payment of money in a civil and commercial case a ccording to a written choice of court agreement,
may apply for recognition and enforcement of the judgment in the relevant people’s court of China
or Hong Kong court. China and Hong Kong have concluded the Arrangement on Mutual
Recognition and Enforcement of Civil and Comme rcial Judgments between the Mainland and the
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, which t ook effect on January 29, 2024. Accordingly, the
scope of applicable cases for judicial assistance can be expanded. In principle, judgments made after
January 29, 2024 are subject to the provisions of t he new ‘‘Arrangement’’. However, for cases where
the ‘‘written jurisdiction agreement’’ referred to in the old ‘‘Arrangement’’ was signed before January
29, 2024, the old ‘‘Arrangement’’ still applies regardless of when the judgment is made. Moreover,
China has not entered into similar reciprocal treati es for the enforcement of court judgments with
countries such as the United States, the Un ited Kingdom, Japan and many other nations.
Furthermore, Hong Kong lacks an arrangemen t with the United States for the reciprocal
enforcement of court judgments. According t o PRC Civil Procedure Law and other relevant
regulations, a court judgment from the United Sta tes or other jurisdictions may only be recognized
and enforced in China or Hong Kong if there is a relevant treaty or agreement between China and
the country where the judgment was issued, whi ch is currently not the case with many major
jurisdictions.
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our operational and financial
results.
The exchange rate of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies is
subject to fluctuations, which are influenced by various factors includ ing Chinese government
policies, political and economic c onditions in both China and globally, as well as supply and demand
in the local currency market. We cannot assure yo u that we will have sufficient foreign exchange to
meet our needs at a given exchange rate. In addition, we are unable to predict how market forces or
government interventions mig ht impact the exchange rate between the Renminbi and other
currencies, such as the Hong Kong dollar or U.S. do llar, in the future. The proceeds from the Global
Offering will be received in Hong Kong dollars, an d any appreciation of the Renminbi against the
U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar or other currencie s could reduce the value of these proceeds.
Conversely, any depreciation of the Renminbi could negatively affect the value of our Shares and the
dividends payable in foreign currencies. Furtherm ore, there are only limited hedging instruments
available to us at reasonable costs to mitigate our exposure to foreign currency risks. These factors
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in currency conversion policies may adversely affect the value of your investment.
We may need to convert a portion of our revenue into foreign currencies to meet obligations
such as operating costs, expenses and any dividends declared on our H Shares. However, if there are
shortages in the availability of foreign currency, ou r ability to remit sufficient funds to cover these
obligations could be restricted, including ou r ability to pay dividends or meet other foreign
currency-denominated commitments. Under current PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments
for current account items like profi t distributions, interest payments and trade-related transactions
can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign
Exchange (SAFE), provided that certain procedural requirements are met. However, when
converting Renminbi into foreign currency to pay for capital expenses, such as the repayment of
foreign currency-denominated loans, the approva l of or registration with relevant government
authorities is required. Additionally, if a signific ant imbalance in international payments arises, the
PRC government may impose safeguards or other co ntrol measures. There is no guarantee that the
regulations governing the remittance of Renmin bi in and out of China will remain unchanged in the
future, and any modifications could impact our ability to meet foreign currency obligations.
Holders of our H Shares may be subject to PRC income tax obligations.
Under applicable PRC tax laws, regulations an d statutory documents, non-PRC resident
individuals and enterprises are subject to different tax obligations with respect to dividends received
from us or gains realized upon the sale or other di sposition of our H Shares. Non-PRC individuals
are generally subject to PRC individual income tax under the Individual Income Tax Law of the
PRC (《中華人民共和國個人所得稅法》) with respect to PRC source income or gains at a rate of 20%.
We are required to withhold related tax from dividend payments paid to non-PRC resident
individuals, unless specifically exempted by th e tax authority of the State Council or reduced or
eliminated by an applicable tax treaty. Pursuan t to the Circular on Questions Concerning the
Collection of Individual Income Tax Followi ng the Repeal of Guo Shui Fa [1993] No. 045 ( 《關於國
稅發[1993]045 號文件廢止後有關個人所得稅徵管問題的通知》) (Guo Shui Han [2011] No. 348) ( 國稅
函[2011]348 號) dated June 28, 2011, issued by the SAT , dividends paid to non-PRC resident
individual holders of H Shares are generally subject to individual income tax of the PRC at the
withholding tax rate of 10%, depending on whethe r there is any applicable tax treaty between the
PRC and the jurisdiction in which the non-PRC resident individual holder of H Shares resides, as
well as the tax arrangement between the PRC and Hong Kong. Non-PRC resident individual holders
who reside in jurisdictions that have not entered into tax treaties with the PRC are subject to a 20%
withholding tax on dividends received from us. However, pursuant to the Circular Declaring that
Individual Income Tax Continues to be Exempted over Income of Individuals from Transfer of
Shares (《關於個
人轉讓股票所得繼續暫免徵收個人所得稅的通知》) issued by the MOF of the PRC
and the SAT on March 30, 1998, gains of individuals derived from the transfer of listed shares of
enterprises may be exempt from individual inco me tax. In addition, on December 31, 2009, the
MOF, the SAT and the CSRC jointly issued the C ircular on Relevant Issues Concerning the
Collection of Individual Income Tax over the Income Received by Individuals from Transfer of
Listed Shares Subject to Sales Limitation ( 《關於個人轉讓上市公司限售股所得徵收個人所得稅有關問

enterprises on overseas stock exc hanges. However, there is no assurance as to whether further
implemented laws, regulations or practices in t he future would result in levying income tax on
non-PRC resident individuals on gains from the sale of H shares.
Pursuant to the EIT Law and its implementing rules and Notice on the Issues concerning
Withholding the Enterprise Income Tax on the Div idends Paid by Chinese R esident Enterprises to
H-share Holders Which Are Overse as Non-resident Enterprises ( 《關於中國居民企業向境外H股非居
民企業股東派發股息代扣代繳企業所得稅有關問題的通知》) (Guo Shui Han [2008] No. 897) ( 國稅
函[2008]897 號), dated June 28, 2011, issued by the SAT, non -PRC resident enterprises that do not
have establishments or premises in the PRC, or tha t have establishments or premises in the PRC but
their income is not related to such establishments or premises, are subject to PRC EIT at the rate of
10% on dividends received from PRC companies an d gains realized upon disposition of equity
interests in such PRC companies, which may be re duced or eliminated under special arrangements or
applicable treaties between the PR C and the jurisdiction where the non -resident enterprise resides.
Pursuant to applicable regulations, we intend to withhold tax at a rate of 10% from dividends paid
to non-PRC resident enterprise holders of our H Shares (including HKSCC Nominees and payments
through CCASS). Non-PRC resident enterprises that are entitled to be taxed at a reduced rate under
an applicable income tax treaty will be required t o apply to the PRC tax authorities for a refund of
any amount withheld in excess of the applicable treaty rate, and payment of any such refund will be
subject to the PRC tax authorities’ verification . As of the Latest Practicable Date, there were no
specific rules on how to levy tax on gains realized by non-resident enterprise holders of H Shares
through the sale or transfer by other means of H Shares. If any PRC income tax is collected from the
transfer of our H Shares or on dividends paid to our non-PRC resident investors, the value of your
investment in our H Shares may be affected.
RISKS RELATING TO THE GLOBAL OFFERING
There has been no prior public market for our H Shares and the price and trading volume of our H
Shares may be volatile, which could cause substantial losses to investors in the Global Offering.
The Offer Price of our H Shares was determined through negotiations between us and the
Overall Coordinator and Global Coordinator. As a result, the Offer Price may differ substantially
from the market price of the H Shares once trading begins following the Global Offering. While we
have applied to list our H Shares on the Stock E xchange, we cannot guarantee that the Global
Offering will lead to the development of an act ive or liquid trading market for the H Shares.
Furthermore, the price and trading volumes of the H Shares may be volatile. Several factors could
influence the market price and trading volume of our H Shares, including: (i) actual or anticipated
fluctuations in our financial performance, such as revenue, earnings and cash flow; (ii) changes in
analyst recommendations or earnings estimates, as well as general market conditions or
developments affecting us or our industry; (iii) pote ntial litigation or regulatory investigations;
(iv) the performance of other companies in our sector or other industries, as well as events beyond
our control; and (v) the release of lock-up restrictions or sales (or perceived sales) of additional H
Shares by us or other shareholders. Moreover, the securities market has historically experienced
periods of significant price and volume fluctuations that are not necessarily tied to the operational
performance of specific companies. Such fluctuations — whether driven by market conditions,
industry trends or political factors — could adve rsely impact the market price and trading volume of
our H Shares. In particular, the market price and trading volume of our H Shares could experience
substantial volatility due to factors beyond our control, such as: (i) variations in our revenue,
earnings and cash flow; (ii) announcements of new investments, strategic partnerships, or
acquisitions; (iii) unexpected busi ness interruptions due to natural disasters or power outages; (iv)
significant changes in our key personnel or senior management; (v) difficulties in obtaining or
maintaining necessary regulatory approvals; (vi) challenges in competing effectively with our
competitors; (vii) broader political, economic, finan cial or social developments; (viii) fluctuations in
market prices for our products or raw materials; or (ix) the lifting of restrictions on H share
transactions. Additionally, the Stock Exchange and other securities markets have, at times,
RISK FACTORS
–4 2–


--- page 52 ---
experienced significant volatility in both pri ce and trading volume that may not be linked to the
performance of any particular company. This broa der market volatility could also have a material
adverse effect on the market price of our H Shares.
Future sales or perceived sales of substantial amounts of our H Shares in the public market could have a
material and adverse effect on the price of our H S hares and our ability to raise additional capital in the
future.
The future sale of a significant number of our H Shares in the public market after the Global
Offering, or the possibility of such sales, by our Controlling Shareholders or Investors could
materially and adversely affect the market pri ce of our H Shares and could materially impair our
future ability to raise capital t hrough offerings of our H Share s. Although such Controlling
Shareholders and investors have agreed to a lock-up on their H Shares, any major disposal of our H
Shares by any of such Controlling Shareholders and Investors upon expiry of the relevant lock-up
periods (or the perception that these disposals m ay occur) may cause the pre vailing market price of
our H Shares to fall which could ne gatively impact our ability to raise equity capital in the future.
You will incur immediate and substantial dilution and may experience further dilution if we issue
additional Shares in the future.
The initial Offer Price of our H Shares is higher than the net tangible asset value per Share of
the outstanding H Shares issued to our existing S hareholders immediately prior to the Global
Offering. Therefore, purchasers of our H Shares i n the Global Offering will experience an immediate
dilution in terms of the pro forma net tangible asset value. In addition, we may consider offering and
issuing additional H Shares or equity-related secu rities in the future to raise additional funds,
finance acquisitions or for other purposes. Purchasers of our H Shares may experience further
dilution in terms of the net tangible asset value per Share if we issue additional H Shares in the future
at a price that is lower than the net tangible asset value per Share.
There can be no assurance whether and when we will pay dividends in the future.
No dividend was paid or declared by our Company or other entities comprising our Group
during the Track Record Period. On May 10, 2026, we declared dividends of RMB67.3 million to our
shareholders based on their equity interests in our Company as of March 31, 2026, which was fully
paid on May 12, 2026. There is no guarantee as to wh ether we will pay dividends in the future. The
declaration and distribution of dividends shall be proposed and formulated by our Board of
Directors at their discretion and will be subject to s hareholder approval. A decision to declare or to
pay any dividends and the amount of any dividends will depend on various factors including,
without limitation, our results of operations, finan cial condition, operating and capital expenditure
requirements, distributable profits, future prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors
may determine are important. Accordingly, our histori cal dividend distributions are not indicative of
our future dividend distribution policy and potential investors should be aware that the amount of
dividends paid previously should not be used as a reference or basis upon which future dividends are
determined. See ‘‘Financial Informati on — Dividends and Dividend Policy.’’
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research on, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable
research about our business, the market price for our H Shares and trading volume could decline.
The market price and trading volume of our H Shares are likely to be influenced by the
opinions and research published by securities or indu stry analysts. If these analysts fail to regularly
cover our business, or if they issue inaccurate, misleading or unfavorable reports, it could
significantly reduce investor interest in our H Sha res. A lack of consistent analyst coverage may lead
to decreased visibility within the financial markets, m aking it more difficult for potential investors to
obtain independent evaluations of our business and growth prospects which could, in turn, lower the
demand for our H Shares. Additionally, if one or mo re analysts downgrade their recommendations,
lower their price targets, or publish negative assessments of our business, it could result in a sharp
decline in the market price of our H Shares. Even if our operating results and financial performance
RISK FACTORS
–4 3–


--- page 53 ---
meet or exceed expectations, negative media or analyst reports could still damage the market
perception of our company. Moreover, unfavorabl e comparisons with our competitors or pessimistic
forecasts about our industry as a whole could also drive down the value of our H Shares. The impact
of such reports could be amplified by high trading volumes, resulting in more pronounced price
movements. In some cases, inaccurate or overly crit ical reports may arise from misinterpretations of
our business model or financials, which could c ause unnecessary volatility in the market. In the
absence of adequate or favorable coverage, investors may be less inclined to purchase or hold our H
Shares, leading to reduced liquidity, increased pric e volatility and, ultimately, a potential decline in
the value of your investment. This could also affe ct our ability to raise capital or pursue strategic
opportunities in the future, as a lower market valuation may limit our access to financing and other
growth-related initiatives.

In preparation for the Global Offering, our Company has applied for the following waivers
from strict compliance with the relevant provisions of the Listing Rules.
MANAGEMENT PRESENCE IN HONG KONG
Pursuant to Rule 8.12 of the Listing Rules, we must have sufficient management presence in
Hong Kong, which normally means that at least tw o of our executive Directors must be ordinarily
resident in Hong Kong. Rule 19A.15 of the Listing Rules further provides that the requirement in
Rule 8.12 may be waived by having regard to, among other considerations, our arrangements for
maintaining regular communica tion with the Stock Exchange.
Since our principal business and operations are in the PRC, all of our executive Directors are
based in China as the Board believes it would be more effective and efficient for its executive
Directors to be based in a location where our operations are conducted. It would be practically
difficult and commercially unnecessary for us to r elocate two of our executive Directors to Hong
Kong. Therefore, we do not and, for the foreseeable future, will not have executive Directors who
are ordinarily resident in Hong Kong for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of Rules 8.12
and 19A.15 of the Listing Rules.
Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 19A.15 of the Listing Rules, we have applied for, and the Stock
Exchange has granted, a waiver from strict complia nce with the requirements under Rules 8.12 and
19A.15 of the Listing Rules, subj ect to the following conditions:
(i) we have appointed Mr. Ning Pengfei ( 寧鵬飛), being the executive Director and the joint
company secretary, and Ms. Au Wai Ching ( 區慧晶)( ‘ ‘Ms. Au ’’), being the joint company
secretary, as the authorized representatives (the ‘‘ Authorized Representatives ’’) for the
purpose of Rule 3.05 of the Listing Rules. Our Authorized Representatives will act as our
principal channel of communication with the Stock Exchange and would be readily
contactable by phone and email to deal promptly with enquiries from the Stock Exchange.
Accordingly, our Authorized Representati ves will be able to meet with the relevant
members of the Stock Exchange to discuss an y matters in relation to our Company within
a reasonable period of time;
(ii) our Authorized Representatives have means contacting all Directors promptly at all times
as and when the Stock Exchange proposes to contact a Director with respect to any
matter;
(iii) each Director has provided our Authorized Representatives and the Stock Exchange with
the contact details (such as mobile phone number, office phone number and e-mail
addresses, if any). In the event that any Direc tor expects to travel or otherwise be out of
office, he/she will provide the phone number of the place of his/her accommodation to our
Authorized Representatives;
(iv) each Director who does not ordinarily reside in Hong Kong possesses or can apply for
valid travel documents to visit Hong Kong an d can meet with the Stock Exchange within a
reasonable period; and
(v) we have appointed Guoyuan Capital (Hon g Kong) Limited as our compliance advisor (the
‘‘Compliance Advisor ’’) upon Listing pursuant to Rule 3A.19 of the Listing Rules for a
period commencing on the Listing Date and ending on the date on which we comply with
Rule 13.46 of the Listing Rules in respect of our f inancial results for the first full financial
year commencing after the Listing Date. The Compliance Advisor will have access at all
times to our Authorized Representatives, our Directors, our Supervisors and the other
senior management and act as the additional channel of communication with the Stock
Exchange and answer enquiries from the Stock Exchange.

APPOINTMENT OF JOINT COMPANY SECRETARIES
Pursuant to Rules 3.28 and 8.17 of the Listing Rules, we must appoint a company secretary
who, by virtue of his or her academic or professional qualifications or relevant experience, is, in the
opinion of the Stock Exchange, capable of discharging the functions of company secretary.
Note 1 to Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules provides that, the Stock Exchange considers the
following academic or professional qualifications to be acceptable:
(i) a member of The Hong Kong Cha rtered Governance Institute;
(ii) a solicitor or barrister as defined in the Leg al Practitioners Ordinance (Chapter 159 of the
Laws of Hong Kong); and
(iii) a certified public accountant as define d in the Professional Accountants Ordinance
(Chapter 50 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
Note 2 to Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules furt her provides that, in assessing ‘‘relevant
experience’’, the Stock Exchang e will consider the individual’s:
(i) length of employment with the issuer and o ther issuers and the roles he/she played;
(ii) familiarity with the Listing Rules and other r elevant laws and regulations including the
SFO, the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance and the
Takeovers Code;
(iii) relevant training taken and/or to be taken in addition to the minimum requirement under
Rule 3.29 of the Listing Rules; and
(iv) professional qualifications in other jurisdictions.
We have appointed Mr. Ning Pengfei ( 寧鵬飛)( ‘ ‘Mr. Ning ’’) as one of our joint company
secretaries. He has a thorough understanding of the operations of the Board and our Company and
has gained experience in handling corporate govern ance and general administrative matters relating
to our Company. Although he presently does not possess the qualifications required under Rules
3.28 and 8.17 of the Listing Rules, we would like to appoint him as our joint company secretary due
to his past experience within our Group and hi s thorough understanding of the internal
administration and business operations of our Group. In addition, we have appointed Ms. Au as
the other joint company secretary to assist Mr . Ning in discharging the duties of a company
secretary. Ms. Au is a Chartered Secretary, a Ch artered Governance Professional and a fellow of
both The Hong Kong Chartered Governance Instit ute and The Chartered Governance Institute in
the United Kingdom. Ms. Au therefore meets the q ualification requirements under Rules 3.28 and
8.17 of the Listing Rules. See ‘‘Directors, Supe rvisors and Senior Management’’ for further
information regarding the biographies of Mr. Ning and Ms. Au.
We have applied to the Stock Exchange for, and the Stock Exchange has granted to our
Company, a waiver from strict compliance with t he requirements of Rules 3.28 and 8.17 of the
Listing Rules for an initial period of three years from the Listing Date on the basis of the following
proposed arrangements:
(i) Mr. Ning will endeavour to attend relevant tra ining courses, including briefings on the
latest changes to the relevant applicable Ho ng Kong laws and regulations and the Listing
Rules, and seminars organized by the Stock Ex change for listed issuers from time to time;
(ii) both Mr. Ning and Ms. Au have confirmed tha t each of them will be attending a total of
no less than 15 hours of training courses on t he Listing Rules, corporate governance,
information disclosure, investor relation s, as well as the functions and duties of the
company secretary of a Hong Kong listed issu er during each financial year as required
under Rule 3.29 of the Listing Rules;

(iii) Ms. Au will assist Mr. Ning to enable him to acquire the relevant experience (as required
under Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules) to disc harge the duties and responsibilities as our
company secretary;
(iv) Ms. Au will communicate regularly with Mr. Ning on matters relating to corporate
governance, the Listing Rules, and any other laws and regulations which are relevant to us
and our affairs. Ms. Au will work closely with, and provide assistance to, Mr. Ning in the
discharge of his duties as a company secretary, including organizing our Board meetings
and Shareholders’ general meetings;
(v) prior to the expiry of Mr. Ning’s initial te rm of appointment as the company secretary of
our Company, our Company will evaluate his experience in order to determine if he has
acquired the qualifications required under R ule 3.28 of the Listing Rules, and whether
ongoing assistance should be arranged so that Mr. Ning’s appointment as the company
secretary of the Company continues to satisfy the requirements under Rules 3.28 and 8.17
of the Listing Rules;
(vi) our Company has appointed Guoyuan Capi tal (Hong Kong) Limited as its Compliance
Advisor pursuant to Rule 3A.19 of the Listing Rules, which will act as the additional
communication channel with the Stock Exchan ge and provide professional guidance and
advice to our Company and Mr. Ning as to compliance with the Listing Rules and all
other applicable laws and regulations; and
(vii) the waiver may be revoked with immediate effect if our Company commits material
breaches of Rules 3.28 and 8.17 of the Listing Rules.
Before the end of the three-year period, we shal l liaise with the Stock Exchange to revisit the
situation in the expectation that we should then be able to demonstrate to the Stock Exchange’s
satisfaction that Mr. Ning, having had the benefit of Ms. Au’s assistance for three years, would then
have acquired the relevant experience within the meaning of Note 2 to Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules
so that a further waiver would not be necessary.
CONSENT UNDER PARAGRAPH 1C(2) OF APPENDIX F1 TO THE LISTING RULES IN
RESPECT OF SUBSCRIPTION OF OFFER S HARES BY A CLOSE ASSOCIATE OF AN
EXISTING SHAREHOLDER AS A CORNERSTONE INVESTOR
Rule 10.04 of the Listing Rules provides that a person who is an existing shareholder of the
issuer may only subscribe for or purchase any securities for which listing is sought which are being

applicant’s existing shareholders or their close associates, whether in their own names or through
nominees unless the conditions set out in Rules 10 .03 and 10.04 are fulfilled, without the prior
written consent of the Hong Kong Stock Exchang e. Chapter 4.15 of the Guide provides that the
Stock Exchange will consider giving consent and granting waiver from Rule 10.04 of the Listing
Rules to an applicant’s existing sha reholders or their close associates to participate in an initial
public offering if any actual or perceived preferenti al treatment arising from their ability to influence
the applicant during the allocation process can be addressed.

OVERVIEW OF CHINA’S SNACK FOOD INDUSTRY
Overview of Snack Food Industry
Snack food refers to snacks and desserts typically enjoyed during leisure time or between meals
as a quick, convenient option. To accommodate various consumption scenarios, snack foods are
generally packaged in small, portable portion. Based on the ingredients used, snack food can be
categorized into fruit snacks, jelly, confectionery, chocolate, roasted seeds and nuts, crispy snack
foods, bread, cakes and pastries, biscuits, meat and aquatic animal snacks, seasoned flour products,
vegetable snacks and dried tofu snacks.
The market size of China’s snack food industr y increased from RMB774.9 billion in 2020 to
RMB933.0 billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 4.8%. Driven by the rising consumer health awareness and
ongoing product innovation toward health-conscious snack foods, the snack food industry is
expected to reach RMB1,141.0 billion in 2029, at a CAGR of 4.1%.
In 2024, the annual global per capita consumpt ion on snack food amounted to RMB1,188.9,
significantly higher than China’s annual per cap ita consumption on snack food of RMB662.5, and
the gap is particularly notable when compared with developed countries. For instance, the annual
per capita consumption on snack food in the U.S., the U.K., Japan and South Korea reached
RMB7,578.7, RMB6,543.9, RMB3,524.6 and RMB1,809.6, respectively. This disparity reveals the
substantial growth potential for snack food indu stry and extensive future demand for snack food in
China, illustrating ample opportunities for sna ck food providers to expand and meet growing
demands of Chinese consumers.

Market Drivers and Trends Analysis of China’s Snack Food Industry
Emergence of Fruit-based Snack Food
With rising per capita spending on snack foods and evolving dietary habits, Chinese consumers
are increasingly seeking variety and novelty in fr uit-based snack products. Manufacturers have
responded by developing a wide range of fruit ingredients and formats, including dried fruits,
freeze-dried fruits, and fruit jellies. Innovatio ns in sourcing, processing, and natural flavor
combinations allow these products to stand out in terms of taste, texture and convenience, appealing
to consumers looking for porta ble, easy-to-consume options.
Diversification of Consumption Scenarios
The ever-faster pace of life has led to a sharp increase in the demand for convenient,
ready-to-eat snacks suitable for various consumption scenarios. As consumption scenarios diversify,
such as in between meals, in offices, during travel a nd at family gatherings, the frequency and variety
of snack consumption are gradually expandin g. In offices, busy professionals often need
reinvigorating snacks that can quickly replenis h energy, alleviating hunger and enhancing work
efficiency during hectic intervals. During travel, people are in different environments and states,
l e a d i n gt om o r ed i v e r s es n a c kn e e d s .T h e s es n a c k sa r er e q u i r e dt ob ec o n v e n i e n tt oc a r r ya n da b l et o
satisfy the spontaneous needs that may arise throughout the journey.
Expansion of Sales Channels
The recent rise of e-commerce, live commerce and new retail models has opened up new growth
opportunities for the sales of snack food. Majo r online platforms enable convenient shopping
methods, extensive user reach and efficient logis tics and delivery systems to enable snack foods to
overcome geographical barriers and quickly reach consumers nationwide and even globally. In
addition, snack specialty stores have become in creasingly popular as they cater to snack food
consumers’ demand for health-consciousness, sust ainability and cultural exploration while offering
personalized shopping experiences and innovative f lavors. Thus, the market size of China’s snack
food industry by sales through snack specialty st ores reached 7.8% in 2024, and is expected to grow
to 10.3% in 2029, maintaining the highest g rowth rate among offline sales channels.
Overview of Fruit Snacks Industry
Fruit snacks, which include dried fruits, freez e-dried fruits, proce ssed fruit snacks, and
fruit-based bars or bites, have become increasingl y popular in recent years. They are often positioned
as convenient, portable snack options that fit into busy, on-the-go lifestyles. Compared to
traditional snacks, fruit snacks a re generally made from natural fruit ingredients and are available in
a variety of formats, catering to a wide range of co nsumer preferences. The market size of China’s
fruit snacks industry by retail sales value in creased from RMB37.8 b illion in 2020 to RMB52.0

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Value Chain Analysis of Fruit Snacks Industry
The upstream of the China’s fruit snacks indust ry mainly includes raw material suppliers who
are responsible for fruit breeding and cultivation and raw material supply. To ensure the quality of
raw material, leading manufacturers often build pr oduction bases near major raw material sourcing
regions and establish long-term relationships wit h local farmers. Modern farming techniques, such
as precision agriculture and pest management, not only improve the production efficiency of raw
materials but also enhance their nutritional cont ent and taste, thereby meeting the growing market
demand.
The midstream of the industry primarily in cludes snack food manufacturers who are
responsible for snack food processing and pro duction. Technological advancements in food
processing, such as automation and aseptic fresh -lock technology, have optimized the processing of
fruit snacks by preventing microbial contaminatio n and extending shelf life without preservatives.
Leading manufacturers are also developing innovative packaging technologies to enhance
convenience, preserve freshness and cater to the fast-paced lifestyles of modern consumers.
The downstream of the industry includes both end consumers and various sales channels, such
as traditional retail, supermarkets, snack spec ialty stores, convenienc e stores and e-commerce
platforms. With the rapid development of e-commerc e ,s a l e sc h a n n e l sh a v eb e c o m em o r ed i v e r s i f i e d ,
offering consumers easy access to various fruit s nacks. Companies enhance market visibility and
share through brand building and marketing activ ities, collaborating wi th well-known brands for
cross-promotions or providing customized products for key downstream retailers.
Among the fruit ingredients, green plum is reco gnized for its efficacy in treating cholera,
vomiting, diarrhea, dysentery, thirst and typhoid fever, according to the ‘‘Compendium of Materia
Medica’’ (《本草綱目》). A processed form of green plum, smoked plum, has further been included in
the National Health Commission’s ‘‘food and medicine homologous’’ ( 《藥食同源》) directory.
Accordingly, green-plum-based fruit snacks offer va rious function benefits, including (i) promoting
digestive health by stimulating gastric juice secret ion and balancing intestinal pH through various
kinds of naturally occurring organic acids, (ii) delivering antioxidant support via vitamins C,
polyphenols and organic acids, (iii) contributing to blood sugar regulation, and (iv) aiding weight
control due to their low calorie and high fiber content.
The globalization of green-plum-based fruit snacks underscores the international appeal of
traditional Chinese cuisine. Cherished for their med icinal properties, flavor and nutritional value,
green plums have also gained widespread acceptance as an oriental fruit in Japan, South Korea and
other East Asian countries. In Japan, where their cu isine culture emphasizes low-fat and low-calorie
diets, green plums are highly valued and often processed into dried plums. Enhanced through
Japanese craftsmanship and technology, esp ecially in preservative-free applications,
green-plum-based snacks enjoy widespread popul arity in Japan. As a result, Japan’s per capita
annual consumption of green-plum-based snacks exceeds China’s by more than 70 times. The
disparity demonstrates the substa ntial, unfilled market potential fo r green-plum-based fruit snacks
in China. Driven by the increasing consumer spe nding and market promotion, Chinese consumers’
awareness and acceptance of green-plum-based fr uit snacks continue to rise, leading to the market
growth.

Brand Recognition Barrier
The fruit snacks market is dominated by well-esta blished brands with strong retail presence and
loyal customer bases. Securing shelf space in s upermarkets or e-commerce platforms requires
significant investment in marketing, trade promotions, and retailer relationships, posing a steep
hurdle for newcomers wi thout brand equity.
Product Innovation Barrier
Consumer preferences in this area are rapidly evolving toward functional and low-calorie
snacks. New entrants often lack the research an d development infrastructure to formulate
competitive products with appealing taste, textu re, and health benefits, especially when using
natural or clean-label ingredients, which lim its differentiation and slows scaling efforts.

Scale Barrier
Jelly is often positioned as an affordable mass-ma rket snack, especially in developing regions.
New players entering this low-margin environm ent must achieve high production efficiency to
remain price-competitive. Without economies of s cale or automation, it’s difficult to maintain
profitability.
Market Challenges and Threats for Jelly Industry
Ingredient and Cost Pressures
Fluctuations in the prices of key ingredients may impact production costs and pressure to use
more natural or healthier alternatives adds complexity and expense.
Shifting Consumer Preferences
Consumers are shifting away from artificial pr oducts toward healthier and more nature jellies.
Traditional jelly products face d eclining appeal, requiring investm ent in innovation and potential
trade-offs in texture or shelf life.
Regulatory Standards
Food regulations are tightening especially fo r additives and preservations. Meeting diverse
compliance requirements increases operational c omplexity and may raise the risk of reputational
harm.

RAW MATERIAL PRICE ANALYSIS
The major raw materials for plum-based product s primarily consist of green plums, prunes and
auxiliary raw materials, such as sugar and salt. The price of green plum is primarily influenced by
weather and market conditions. Green plums can be significantly affected by weather, which causes
price fluctuations. Additionally, the plum-based product manufacturers’ inventory level can also
impact the price of green plums, resulting in fluct uations in procurement costs. From 2020 to 2024,
the price of green plum in China increased from RMB2,400 per ton to RMB2,600 per ton, at a
CAGR of 2.0%.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
–6 8–


--- page 78 ---
Prune-based products mainly use the prunes imported from Chile, France and the United
States. The price of prune increased in recent yea rs due to the adverse weather conditions, reduced
yields and increased global demand. Additionally, higher transportation costs, logistics disruptions
and increased level of inflation also contributed to the price surge of imported prunes. From 2020 to
2024, the price of imported prune increased from RMB16,200 per ton RMB20,700 per ton, at a
CAGR of 6.3%.
The price of auxiliary raw materials, such as sugar , is primarily influenced by the global supply
and weather conditions. As one of the world’s majo r sugar-sourcing countries, the price of white
sugar in China was greatly affected by that in the int ernational market. Therefore, due to the rising
price of white sugar globally, from 2020 to 2024, the price of white sugar in China increased from
RMB5,500 per ton to RMB6,500 per ton, at a CAGR of 4.4%.

PREVIOUS APPLICATION FOR LISTING ON THE SHENZHEN STOCK EXCHANGE
Our Company submitted an application for listing of our Shares on the ChiNext Board of the
Shenzhen Stock Exchange on June 17, 2019 (the ‘‘ A-Share Listing Application ’’). At that time, in
response to the slowing pace of sales growth, we initiated a strategic upgrade of our brand, shifting
from general snack consumption to positioning green plum products as a mainstream food category.
The strategy aimed to differentiate green plums by highlighting their natural health benefits and to
open up broader market opportunities by appealing to everyday consumption scenarios, thereby
strengthening consume r purchase motivation.
Since 2013, we had promoted our products through celebrity endorsements, which initially
enhanced brand awareness. However, by 2017, sales growth began to slow. In 2019, we engaged a
branding consultancy with experience advising leading domestic consumer product brands, to
support a comprehensive brand repositioning. Ba sed on market research, we strengthened messaging
around the health value of green plums and launche d extensive nationwide marketing campaigns in
major cities, including Hefei, Chengdu, Zhengzh ou, Wuhan, Xi’an, Hangzhou and other cities. This
repositioning involved significant marketing a nd promotional expenditures. Moreover, we also
discontinued non-core dried fruit products, streamlined our distrib utor network, and focused on key
distributors aligned with our new strategic direction of green plum products. While these measures
enhanced brand focus and operational efficiency , they also led to a short-term decline in revenue
during the transition period.

The strategic upgrade led to a temporary dec line in revenue and a significant increase in
marketing and promotional expenditure, therefore our net profit was expected to decrease
substantially and fail to meet the substantive financial requirements for an A-share listing
application. Accordingl y, following discussions with the then sponsor, we voluntarily withdrew the
A-Share Listing Application on December 8, 2019. As confirmed by the Directors, no response had
been prepared or submitted in respect of the comments raised by the CSRC regarding the A-Share
Listing Application. The application remained v alid and had not been returned or rejected by the
CSRC prior to our withdrawal. During the process of the A-Share Listing Application, save for the
reason as disclosed above, we did not encounter an y material difficulties or legal impediments which
led us to withdraw the A-Share Listing Application.
To the best of our Directors’ knowledge, our Dir ectors are not aware of any matters relating to
the A-Share Listing Application, including enquiries from the CSRC, that may pose a material
adverse implication on the Listing or would affect our Company’s suitability for listing on the Stock
Exchange, which should be brought to the attention of the Stock Exchange. As confirmed by our
Directors, there were no key outstanding comment s from the CSRC remained unresolved, and all
information that is relevant to the Listing and reas onably necessary for potential investors to form
an informed assessment of our Co mpany has been disclosed in this prospectus. There were no
disagreements between our Company and any of the professional parties involved in the A-Share
Listing Application. Based on the due diligence work conducted by the Joint Sponsors, the Joint
Sponsors did not identify any material facts that would reasonably cause them to cast doubt on the
view of the Directors mentioned above.

(4) Based on an Offer Price of H K $ 4 3 . 5 8p e rO f f e rS h a r e .
Basis of consideration
The consideration of each round of Pre-IPO Investments were determined based on arm’s
length negotiation with our respective Pre-IPO Investors and our Group and/or the then
Shareholders. Key factors considered included t he timing of the investments, our valuation at the
time the investment agreement was entered into, th e status of our business operations, financial
performance of our Group, and the prospect of our business.
In general, the valuations were assessed w ith reference to a price-to-earnings (‘‘ P/E’’) multiple
based on our Group’s net profits for the most recent financial year prior to each investment and
taking into account the Pre-IPO Investors’ then assessment of the Group’ s historical financial
performance and expectation on the Group’s future business prospects. The P/E multiples adopted
in these investments were broadly in line with P /E multiples of various snack or food companies
listed in Hong Kong or the PRC at the relevant time. The final consideration was negotiated either
between our Company and the Pre-IPO investors (in the case of equity subscriptions) or among the
relevant Shareholders (in the case of share transfers).
Use of Proceeds from the Pre-IPO Investments
As of the Latest Practicable Date, the net proc eeds from the Pre-IPO Investments (other than
the transfers of Shares between our Shareholders where our Group did not receive any proceed) has

knowledge and experience of the Pre-IPO Investors and the additional funds provided by them. We
obtained capital for development and expansion of our business. Moreover, their investments
showed their confidence in our Group’s operati ons and served as an endorsement of our Group’s
performance and prospects.

existing Shareholders (including our Pre-IPO Investors) shall not dispose of any of the Shares held

WHO WE ARE
We are a fruit snack company focusing on the plum-based products. We also aspire to promote
plum culture and to introduce snacking options with natural ingredients. Guided by our
plum-centric product development strategy, we ha ve built a diverse plum-based products portfolio
ranging from classic products crafted with traditi onal techniques to products fused with complex
flavors. Since the launch of our iconic brand Liuliumei (‘‘ 溜溜梅’’) in 2001, we have been dedicated to
developing high-quality plum-based products and unlocking the culinary potential of sour flavors
within plums.
In 2024, we ranked first in China’s fruit snacks industry in terms of the retail sales value, with a
market share of 4.9%, according t o Frost & Sullivan. Since its launch in 2019, our plum jelly rapidly
captured consumer bases, leveraging its natural and refreshing taste. As a result, according to Frost
& Sullivan, in 2024, we ranked sixth in China’s j elly industry in terms of retail sales value,
representing a market share of 2.9%.
Our brand is synonymous with plum-based products, owing to our decades-long foothold in the
industry. Plum-based products, due to their di gestion-aiding components, organic acids and
antioxidant substances, align with the modern consumers’ pursuit of functional snack options.
Chinese consumers are increasingly prioritiz ing food safety and natural ingredients, while
demonstrating a stronger willingness to pay a premiu m for snacks made with natural ingredients,
generating market opportunities for plum-based products that are rich in vitamins, organic acids and
polyphenols.
Drawing on the Chinese phrase, ‘‘suan liu liu’’ (‘‘ 酸溜溜’’), which stands for mouthwatering
sourness, our Liuliumei brand can be instantly associated with the sour flavor sensation. We have
leveraged our decades-long industry expertise and deep market insights to establish the plum-centric
product development strategy, which explores diverse plum-based products and different
combinations of plum’s sour flavor and other ta ste profiles. Pursuing this strategy, we have
presented three major product categories: dried pl um snacks, prune-based products and plum jelly,
as well as other plum-based products, su ch as plum gummy and plum tea concentrate.
To ensure raw material quality control and strengthen our bargaining power with upstream
suppliers, we procure plums from all major sourci ng regions in China and provide technical guidance
to farmers on seedling and orchard management, while sourcing prunes directly from premium farms
in Chile and France for high-quality supplies at com petitive prices. We have established production
bases in Anhui, Fujian and Guangxi to maintain food safety and finished product quality by
minimising the time between harves t and preliminary processing.
Our multi-faceted sales network integrates o nline self-operated stores, supermarkets,
membership stores, snack stores and a distributorship network, encompassing both online and
offline scenarios. We have effectively capitalized on the growth opportunities brought by emerging
retail channels, such as snack stores and membership stores. By offering products in differentiated
packaging tailored to each channel’s target cust omer base, we effectively promote our product
portfolio. Leveraging our compre hensive distribution network, w e have successfully amplified our
shelf presence across cities of different tiers. We also operate online flagship stores and engage with
other online platforms, such as e-commerce and live commerce, to expand our market reach.
Drawing on our products and marketing campaigns, we have established our brand has enjoyed
nationwide popularity across consumers of different demographics. Committed to promoting the
plum culture, we have implemented culture-driv en marketing campaigns that highlight the rich
cultural and historical roots of plum-based produc ts. We also carefully select celebrities and KOLs
who seamlessly align with our brand image to appeal t oy o u n g e rc o n s u m e r sa n dt oe x t e n do u rb r a n d
influences. Our brand was honored as one of the Top Ten Innovative Brands in China’s Food
Industry in 2016. Meanwhile, our products have received multiple awards, with our plum jelly
products winning the Gold Award at the National Competition for Special Tourism Products in
2021 and the Superior Taste Award 1-Star Medal b y the International Taste Institute in 2023.

During the Track Record Period, we achieved strong growth. In 2023, 2024 and 2025, our total
revenue amounted to RMB1, 322.0 million, RMB1,616.0 million and RMB1,710.7 million,
respectively. We also effectively managed our co sts and enjoyed benefit from economies of scale,

and 2025, respectively.
OUR STRENGTHS
Market leadership in fruit snacks industry.
We lead in China’s fruit snacks industry. Acco rding to Frost & Sullivan, in 2024, we ranked
first in China’s fruit snacks industry in terms of ret ail sales, with a market share of 4.9%. Meanwhile,
our plum jelly had rapidly gained widespread mark et acceptance. According to Frost & Sullivan, the
market size of fruit snacks industry by retai l sales value was RMB52.0 billion in 2024, and is
expected to reach RMB78.0 billion in 2029, at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2025. Through our market
leadership and diversified product offerings, we are well-positioned to seize emerging market
opportunities, extend our reach to new segments of snack industry.
Since the launch in 2001, our brand has become synonymous with plum-based products. Our
signature dried plum snacks that are crafted wit h traditional techniques, such as Snow Plum and
Refreshing Plum, enjoy enduring popularity and w idespread acceptance across various consumer
demographics. Dedicated to the spirit of innovation, we have also blended the taste of plums with
other distinct flavors, introducing dried plum snacks with complex flavors, such as our
pineapple-flavored plum and sour-spicy plum.
We are also actively exploring new raw material s to expand our fruit snacks portfolio. Finding
that prunes have distinctive ingredients such as anti-oxidants, improving metabolism besides their
well-balanced sweet and sour taste, we have focu sed on developing prune-based snacks in recent
years. We introduced our first prune-based produ ct in 2016, and established ‘‘Prune Knight’’ pitted
prune-based product in response to the rising demand for healthy and natural fruit snacks.
According to Frost & Sullivan, we ranked first in China’s prune-based fruit snacks industry for four
consecutive years from 2021 to 2024.
Our plum jelly represents a milestone in our product innovation s trategy, marking the
successful expansion into snacking option with natural ingredients for consumers pursuing
preservative-free, low-fat snacking options. Our pl um jelly effectively addresses longstanding pain
points of jelly industry regarding the use of artificial additives, redefining the consumer perception
of the jelly products. The popularity of our plum jelly products has been unequivocally validated by
the success of our marketing campaigns. According to Frost & Sullivan, in 2024, we were a major
player in China’s jelly industry in terms of retail s ales value, representing a market share of 2.9%.
Moreover, we led the formation of various indus try alliances such as National Plum Innovation
Alliance, integrating the industry resources wit hin the snack food industry to fully unlock the
culinary potential of plums. Additionally, we helped to formulate industry standards, such as
‘‘Provincial Standard for Plum Seedlings’’ and t he ‘‘Provincial Standard for Plum Cultivation,’’
further solidifying our leading position in the industry.
Robust product development strategy and continuous R&D efforts.
We actively promote the development of plum-based products through various fundamental
R&D initiatives. In particular, we led the estab lishment of Liuliumei Research Institute and the
formation of the National Plum Innovation Allian ce, which facilitate the fundamental research on
the plum’s culinary and medicinal value and plum p lanting techniques. As of December 31, 2025, we
had obtained 42 invention and utility model patents that are material to our business.
We actively pursue the plum-centric product development strategy, a plum-centric product
development philosophy that blends the natural sour taste of plums with other flavors and versatile
product types. Our succes s in launching plum jelly illustrated our robust product R&D capabilities
BUSINESS

of developing commercially successful plum-based products. Additionally, to expand into the
confectionery sector, we had also launched the plum gummy in 2025, which integrated natural plum
extracts to deliver refreshing tastes and reinvigor ating effects. Looking forward, in the condiment
sector, we plan to launch plum-based seasoning pr oducts, aiming to bring plum elements to Chinese
consumers’ daily lifestyles.
Comprehensive sales network and diversified marketing campaigns.
Our comprehensive and diversified channel net works that span from offline to online channels
are crucial to our extensive market expansion. We promptly seize the growth opportunities brought
by emerging retail channels, such as snack stores and membership stores, in recent years. For
instance, we offer customized products of differentia ted packaging to snack sto res, catering to their
target consumers’ consumption behaviors. By leve raging this sales expertise and their extensive
consumer bases, we have enhanced our products’ shelf presence, thereb y increasing brand and
product recognition among customers and gaining more direct access to target consumer bases with
ah i g hd e m a n df o rs n a c k s .W i t ht h er i s i n gp e rc apita income, membership stores have also
experienced rapid growth in Chin a, gathering loyal consumers who are willing to pay premium prices
for high-quality products. Through providing cust omized products for these membership stores, we
have fostered a close connection with them. Recog nizing the potential of e-commerce channels and
growing popularity of live comme rce among young consumers, we have built an online sales network
on major e-commerce and live co mmerce platforms, operating our flagship stores and hosting
large-scale live commerce events.
In addition to our online self-operated stores and sales to supermarkets, membership stores and
snack stores, our comprehensive distributi on network ensures our reach to a wide range of
customers. As of December 31, 2025, we had engaged 1,439 distributors, covering 34 provinces and
municipalities.
Our culture-driven marketing campaigns also drive our sales performance, promoting
plum-based products and appealing to customers of different demographics. Multimedia
marketing campaigns, coupled with various forms o f offline promotional activities, continuously
amplify our brand recognition. We also pay particular attention to interactive communication,
livestreaming the daily operations of the plum industry covering the seedling and processing, as well
as the value proposition and culture of our brand. Additionally, we strategically establish
partnerships with celebrities who may convey our energetic and youthful brand image to young
consumer. Through live events or product campaign s featuring our celebrity brand ambassadors, we
can quickly amplify our presence on mainstre am platforms and effectively promote our new
products to a broad consumer group. The events als o triggered a buzz on internet, generating over
one billion views and over one million discussion posts on social media platforms.
We actively promote the rich heritage of plum-based products. For example, we host annual
events like the ‘‘66 Plum Festival,’’ passing on the t raditional Chinese plum culture while appealing
to the cultural sensibilities of younger generation s. Coupled with our extensive marketing campaigns
on social media platforms, we have reached widespread popularity.
Integrated supply chain covering procurement to production management.
We have strategically established our production bases near key plum-growing regions across
Southwest, South and East China, significantly r educing the time from raw material procurement to
production. Additionally, we maintain robust, long-term partnerships with local plum farmers by
offering them advanced plan ting techniques, proprietary plum varieties and price stabilization
support by entering into cooperation arrangem ent contracts with them. We collaborated with
research centers, agricultural and farming organiz ations and local government authorities to publish
technical protocols for plum cultivation, which established best practices in the site selection,
orchard management, variety selection, plant ing, soil management, trimming, pest control and
harvesting. Additionally, beyond procurement ma nagement, we offered agronomic support for plum
farmers on cultivation techniques and orchard ma nagement to foster a long-term cooperative
BUSINESS
–9 5–


--- page 105 ---
relationships with plum farmers and farmers’ sp ecialized cooperatives. Specifically, we supply
proprietary plum varieties or high-quality plum var ieties procured from third parties to farmers at
favorable prices, encouraging plum farmers t o plant such varieties on required land and in
accordance with our technical protocols and requirements. We provide planting guidance, soil
improvement, and pest and disease control services free of charge. Furthermore, we collaborated
with academic and research institutions to develop proprietary plum varieties featuring enhanced
pest resistance and high yield. W e cultivated the seedlings in small batches on the land located in
Fanchang District of Wuhu City, and then sold these seedlings at favorable prices to local farmers or
farmers’ specialized cooperatives. We generally held no contractual or harvest rights over the
grown-up plum trees. Following our integrated supply chain strategy, we implement guaranteed
pricing mechanisms in certain regions by combining minimum purchase price with collaborative
price stabilization initiatives, providing local f armers with predictable returns for growing plums,
further promoting the plum farming and empoweri ng the broader plum growing ecosystem. Under
our collaborative price stabilization initiati ves, we agree to purchase all qualified plums at the
prevailing market price, protect ing collaborative plum farmers’ economic interests. Under the
guaranteed pricing mechanism, we agree, during ma rket downturns, to purchase all qualifying plums
that partner farmers are unable to sell, at a pre-agreed minimum price set out in the cooperation
agreements. The minimum price is set based on factors such as planting and harvesting costs, aiming
to cover plum farmers’ expenses and incentivizin g them to cultivate plums. These arrangements are
intended to provide downside support to partner farmers while empowering the entire industry
chain. We procure plums from all major plum-sourcing regions in China, securing a reliable supply
of high-grade plums at competitive prices while be ing resilient against price volatility and supply
disruptions from certain production areas. Simila rly, for our prune-based products, we directly
source prunes from various reputable farms to u phold quality while effectively controlling
procurement costs. Our close relationships with upstream suppliers, coupled with reliable
high-quality raw material sources, enable us to exercise end-to-end quality control, thereby
e n s u r i n gas t r o n gb a r g a i n i n gp o w e ra g a i n s tupstream suppliers while maintaining our cost
advantage.
Other than our control over raw materials, we have implemented a modern production system
incorporating advanced food processing equipment and production automation technologies,
enhancing production efficiency while guaranteeing product quality. In 2022, we launched our Plum
Jelly Plant to specialize in producing high-qualit y plum jelly products. We are Orihiro’s exclusive
strategic partner in China. As a part of our ten-year strategic partnership with Orihiro, we
introduced the advanced jelly produ ction line to preserve the freshn ess of our plum jelly products for
up to nine months without any preservatives or additives. We also adopted various advanced
technologies for other key production steps , such as preliminary proces sing and packaging.
Experienced management team with entrepreneurship and market insights.
Our founder, Mr. Yang, maintains entrepreneur ial passion, having dedicated himself to the
fruit snacks industry for more than two decades. Our management team shares unified values and
collaborates seamlessly, possessing an average o f 20 years of industry experience. In addition,
supported by a comprehensive talent manageme nt system, we have built a well-structured and
talented team capable of executing our s trategic objectives with precision.
As a flagship enterprise of the industry, we a lso actively assume social responsibilities to
expand our influences. In Southern Anhui, we encourage the plum cultivation, securing long-term
cooperation agreements with local farmers to facilit ate their farming practice while mitigate market
risks. We have also spearheaded the national ‘‘85 1 Project’’ for the industry, which encouraged
farmers to grow plums in major plum sourcing r egions in China by providing farmers with
comprehensive guidance on planting techniques and our proprietary high-quality plum varieties.

Dried Plum Snacks
The decades-long journey of our brand started with dried plum snacks that are primarily
crafted with green plums. We offer a range of dried plum snacks, featuring three series: classic
products, special-flavored products and customized products.
Classic Products
Our classic products are flagship dried plum s nacks that are most familiar and widely accepted
by customers, enjoying widespread and enduring popularity. We craft our classic products by using
the superior plums, while preserving the authentic taste and texture of dried plum snacks made with
traditional methods. We procure plums from all major plum sourcing regions in China, following a
same-day processing workflow to preserve the plums’ original flavor and nutrition.
We combine traditional craftsmanship with m odern fine-tuning to create unique flavor
experiences fitting for diversified consumption scenarios. Our product portfolio comprises four
flagship plum-based snacks that blend tradition al craftsmanship with modern innovations to meet
diverse consumer preferences. Our popular Snow Plum is continuously upgraded with natural herbal
extracts such as mint, monk fruit and honeysuckle , delivering a cooling and refreshing taste that
effectively relieves throat discomfort; complement ing this profile, our Refreshing Plum sources fully
ripened plums from the mountainous regions of Fujian and Guangdong, combined with natural
honey and traditional Taiwanese manufacturing techniques, to provide a succulent texture rich in
dietary fiber and a refreshing taste. Building on tim e-honored recipes, our Preserved Plum is crafted
from thick, succulent high-quality green plums through established techniques to achieve a deep,
layered sweet-and-sour flavor t hat stimulates appetite as an ideal daily appetizer, with ongoing
innovations including herbal-flavored and zero-sucrose variants; furthermore, our distinctive
Smoked Plum, produced from selected green plums ripened in May, features a soft and smooth
texture enhanced by traditional methods and natural ingredients such as aged citrus peel, licorice
and hibiscus flowers, creating a revitalizing smo ky flavor that pairs perfectly with beverages and
appeals to contemporary palates.

Special-flavored Products
We have cultivated a diversified dried plum s nacks portfolio tailored to customers’ evolving
texture preferences. For inst ance, our Crispy Green Plum ( 脆青梅) was developed in response to
consumer demand for dried plum snacks with crispy texture and refreshing taste, delivering a vibrant
tasting experience marked by freshness, crunch an d juiciness. We drew inspiration for our Crispy
Green Plum from the plum varieties sourced from Southern Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions,
which naturally contain lower tannin levels, o ffering a uniquely crispy texture with minimal
astringency. Meanwhile, our Plum Cakes ( 梅餅) cater to consumers seeking delicate and soft plum
products by faithfully blending time-honored preservation methods with modern manufacturing
techniques to achieve a balanced aromatic pr ofile that has garnered significant consumer
appreciation. Additionally, we h ave introduced our Plum Slice (‘‘ 梅片’’), a functional snack
crafted for consumers seeking invigorating fl avors. By incorporating menthol complex or perilla
essence into plum slices, this product delivers a stimulating taste and energizing experience. We have
further broadened our dried plum snacks portfolio with the recent launch of our Plum Strips (‘‘ 梅
條’’), a novel strip-format plum product crafted to cater to consumers who seek a more substantial
and texturally satisfying snacking experience. Our Plum Strips achieve a first-of-its-kind integration
of premium highland green plums with dried tang erine peel. By drawing upon our traditional
plum-making process — encompassing sea-salt acti vation, double-selection for fruit integrity,
natural drying and honey-curing — the product strikes a refined balance between the plum’s natural
organic acids and the aromatic depth of the aged tange rine peel, yielding a layered tasting experience
that transitions from an initial sweet-s our note to a lingering mellow sweetness.
In addition, we creatively blend the plum’s inh erent flavor with other flavors to form complex
flavors, which has become increa singly popular among customers. For example, our Green Tea Plum
(綠茶青梅) perfectly combines the fresh aroma of green tea with plum flavors for a refreshing taste.
Additionally, inspired by the unique taste profile s in certain regions, we introduce dried plum snacks
featuring regional-specific flavors, such as pineap ple-flavored and sour-spicy plums, creatively
combining regional-exclusive flavors like pin eapple from Taiwan, yellow peach from Shanghai,
Mango from Hainan and sour-spicy elements from Guizhou with the original plum flavor. We have
further given expression to this multi-flavor philosophy through the launch of our Mei He Guozi ( 梅
和菓子) series, a creative filled dried plum product line that positions our natural premium green
plum as the foundation for innovative fruit-flavor ed combinations. Each product in the series pairs
our thick, plump and seedless plum flesh with a di stinct fruit infusion, spanning guava, lemon,
mango, grape and pineapple, among others, to deliv er a vibrant sweet-sour flavor profile that is at
once appetite-stimulating and refreshing. The seedless, thick-flesh format of the Mei He Guozi range
is specifically designed to provid e a more substantial and satisfying bite, while enabling the layered
fruit flavors to be fully expressed.
Customized Products
We offer customized dried plum snacks tailored t o chain snack stores and membership stores.
These customized products allow us to access each KA customers’ target consumer base, providing
unique offerings to a broader range of consumers. In addition, given that KA customers are critical
in our sales network, establishing these partnersh ips positions us for conti nued success as we expand
our reach and introduce our brand to new customers. In particular, since its launch, our high-end
product ‘‘Premium Plum’’ (皇梅) quickly captured the attention of consumers with its unparalleled
quality and craftsmanship. Exclusively availabl e at a high-end membership store, it ranked first on
this membership store’s New Product Hot List wi thin eight days after its launch, showcasing its
immense popularity and market appeal. In add ition, we launched Chilean pitted prune in
membership stores, which is a premium prune-ba sed products catering to mid- to high-income
consumers demanding high-quality products with high nutritional value.

Prune-based Products
We introduced prunes to our portfolio in 2016, enabling us to explore new market
opportunities. Prunes are rich in dietary fiber, na tural antioxidants, as well as essential vitamins
and minerals, including high levels of anthocyanin s. Additionally, prunes have been scientifically
proven to support digestive health and enhance metabolic functions, thereby enjoying widespread
popularity among urban middle-class, white-colla r professionals and the discerning Generation Z
consumers who appreciate the health benefits of snacks and have growing demand for natural food
alternatives.
We have developed three core series of prune-ba sed products tailored t o different consumer
preferences. For consumers seeking diversified snack options, we introduce classic dried prune
product that uses premium prunes with rich flavor and fine-textured flesh. On the other hand, we
launch the ‘‘Fiber Life’’ pitted prune product to cat er to consumers calling for convenient, natural
snacking options. Crafted by precision de-pitti ng techniques and constant-temperature drying
technology, our ‘‘Fiber Life’’ pitted prune produc t offers a convenient, ready-to-eat alternative to
our classic dried prune product, while preserving the natural content of high-quality, large-sized
prunes. We have further elevated our prune-based product portfolio through the launch of our Prune
Knight ( 西梅騎士) series, a premium prune product line t hat embodies our commitment to global
sourcing and clean-label formulation. The Prune Knight series sources its prunes exclusively from
premier growing regions across the globe. The produ ct is also rich in dietary fiber, iron, potassium
and vitamin B6, and is classified as a low-GI food, making it well-suited for consumers who seek
both nutritional value and digestive wellness.
Our prune-based products have rapidly capture d market share. According to Frost & Sullivan,
we ranked first in prune-based fruit snacks indus try for four consecutive years in terms of retails
sales value from 2021 to 2024.
Plum Jelly ( 梅凍)
According to Frost & Sullivan, the China’s je lly market is evolving toward innovations of
functional products made with natural ingredi ents and free of preservatives. Following our
plum-centric product development strategy, we launched the plum jelly products in 2019. Unlike
traditional jelly products frequently perceived a s additive-heavy snacks, our plum jelly, made with
locust bean gum, natural green plum nectar and o ther natural fruit nectars, is positioned as a
low-calorie, convenient jelly opti on made with natural ingredients. A dditionally, deploying Orihiro’s
advanced food processing equipment and technologi es, we extend our plum jelly’s shelf life to nine
months without adding preservatives. During t he Track Record Period, we generated revenue of
RMB311.1 million, RMB410.4 million and RMB465.9 million from the sales of plum jelly products
in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, demonstrating the growing market acceptance of our plum jelly
products. According to Frost & Sullivan, in 2024, we were one of the leading player in China’s jelly
market in terms of retail sales value, capturing a market share of 2.9%.
Classic Products
Our portfolio also extends to nat ural fruit-flavored plum jelly and lactic acid bacteria (LAB)
plum jelly products that further harness the natural tartness of green plums through advanced flavor
innovations to meet evolving consumer preferences . Our natural fruit-flavored plum jelly achieves
harmonious and authentic fruit flavors by blending natural fruit nectars with the delicate tartness of
green plums, creating a balanced and invigorating taste profile. For instance, our white peach plum
jelly contains more than 40% white peach necta r carefully extracted from two premium peach
varieties, delivering a refined aroma reminiscen t of freshly picked peaches. Building upon this
fruit-forward foundation, our LAB plum jelly incorporates a concentrate of six distinct bacterial
strains through a specialized fermentation proc ess that preserves distinctive cheesy and buttery
flavor notes, while infusing natura l fruit nectars to develop popular f ruit-flavored variants that have
gained strong market acceptance.

Seasonal-themed Products
Inspired by market trends and seasonal element s, we periodically intr oduce seasonal-themed
plum jelly products integrating seasonal ingredients that reflect distinctive characteristics of certain
seasons.
To capture seasonal and festive consumption trends, we launched a range of new plum jelly
products in 2024. In spring, we introduced snow pear loquat plum jelly, blending the sweet crisp
texture of snow pears with the moisturizing and throat-soothing properties of loquat for a refreshing
taste ideally suited for springtime consumptio n, alongside orange grapefruit plum jelly that
harmonizes the natural sweetness of oranges with the mild invigorating acidity of grapefruit; in
summer, we launched lychee sea salt lime plum je lly and pineapple wampee lemon plum jelly,
delivering cooling and refreshing flavors perfect ly suited for summertime, with these summer-themed
products featuring our brand ambassador Teens in T imes rapidly attracting over 100 million online
views and effectively conveying our core brand va lues. Furthermore, we introduced festival-themed
plum jelly products aligned with our marketing cam paigns, including vibrant red and gold packaging
for the 2025 Chinese New Year symbolizing prosper ity, good fortune and wealth, featuring red plum,
red grape and red cherry variants as well as golden osmanthus, golden pomelo and kumquat plum
jelly to resonate with consumers’ aspirations for an auspicious year.
Electrolyte-infused Slushy Jelly
In 2025, we introduced our electrolyte-infused slushy jelly, yet another testament to our
market-driven product development strategy. Th e electrolyte-infused sl ushy jelly incorporates
carefully selected fruit nectar to provide the authe ntic, rich fruit flavor. Unlike traditional frozen
products, our electrolyte-infused slushy jelly can be easily stored at room temperature. After being
placed into the freezer, it can soon transform into a smooth, slushy texture, offering a refreshing new
taste and an innovative frozen-snack experience. Added with electrolytes, this product serves not
only as an ideal option for a quick energy boost after workout, but also as a convenient way to
replenish energy during everyday leisure moments.
Other Products
We plan to expand into various plum-based product categories, including confectionery, tea
concentrate, ready-to-drink beverages and condiments, integrating plum-based products into
consumers’ everyday lives.
We launched our plum gummy ‘‘Dameida’’ ( 打梅打) in 2025 and our plum tea concentrate
products in 2024. Made with plum extract and Madeira tea extract that provides invigorating effects,
‘‘Dameida’’ plum gummy provides refreshing and har monious sweet-sour tastes, targeting consumers
who need fruit-based and functional snack options. In addition, we offer two tea concentrate
options, namely the smoked plu m ginger tea concentrate made f rom Yunnan small yellow ginger,
donkey-hide gelatin, brown sugar and smoked plum extract, and the green plum snow pear tea
concentrate made from pear syrup, green plum juice, loquat juice and smoked plum extract,
providing a warming, soothing drink in just 30 seconds.

OUR SALES CHANNELS
Overview
Our sales strategy integrates distributorship, o nline self-operated and sales to supermarkets,
membership stores and snack stores.
The table below sets forth a breakdown of our revenue by sales channel for the years indicated:
Year ended December 31,
2023 2024 2025
Amount % Amount % Amount %
(RMB in thousands, except for percentages)
Online self-operated stores 135,582 10.3 139,226 8.6 128,945 7.5
Supermarkets and
membership stores (1) 170,919 12.9 266,914 16.5 402,554 23.5

Total 1,322,042 100.0 1,616,018 100.0 1,710,731 100.0
Note:
(1) Supermarkets and membership stores primarily incl ude national and regional supermarkets operating both
online and offline, as well as membership stores with wh om we began cooperation in late 2024. Our revenue from
membership stores accounted for 0.7% and 8.6% of ou r total revenue in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Self-Operated Stores and Retail Channels
We adeptly capitalize on the expansive rea ch of online platforms by selling our products
directly to consumers through our self-operated s tores on leading e-commerce platforms and live
commerce platforms. In the meantime, we directly s ell our products to various retail channels,
including national and regional supermarkets with both online and offline operations, as well as
emerging retail channels such as membership stores and snack stores.
Our revenue growth during the Track Record Period was primarily driven by sales to
supermarkets and membership stores, as well as s nack stores. Revenue from supermarkets and
membership stores increased by 56.2% from RMB170.9 million in 2023 to RMB266.9 million in
2024, and further increased by 50.8% to RMB4 02.6 million in 2025. Revenue from snack stores
increased from RMB133.8 million in 2023 to RMB550. 8 million in 2024, and further increased to
RMB648.5 million in 2025. During the Track Record P eriod, our revenue attributable to snack
stores increased significantly, primarily becaus e we expanded our presence in this channel only after
2022 following our assessment of ch annel dynamics that consumers w ill increasingly prefer snack
stores that specialize in offering a wide range of snacking options and packaging sizes. Such
cooperation has enabled us to capture (i) the continued expansion of the store networks of national
snack chains and (ii) the sustained growth of the snack and beverage retail industry, thereby driving
a rapid increase in sales through this channel. In ad dition, our revenue per snack store customer was
significantly higher than that of our supermarke t and membership store customers during the Track
Record Period primarily because the snack store channel has become increasingly concentrated
among a limited number of major national snack chai ns, each of which typically operates a large and
expanding store network w ith higher order volumes.
BUSINESS

--- page 113 ---
These customers possess extensive consumer bases and robust purchasing power, enabling us to
strengthen our presence across multiple channel s while ensuring our products are prominently
displayed in their well-establishe d retail networks. For select retail ers, we provide tailored products
that closely align with their brand positioning and consumers expectations. For instance, we
developed a customized Premium Plum and Chile an pitted prunes exclusively for a membership
store, which resonated strongly with this membe rship store’s mid- to high-income consumer bases.
Additionally, we offer variety package, family-siz ed package and small package for snack stores,
targeting their consumers who prefer to purchase various flavors and products at once. We rely on
our retailer customers’ report on their inventory. However, we are unable to ascertain the precise
volume of unsold inventory held by retailers, sin ce we do not have complete, up-to-date inventory
data from most retailer customers.
Correspondingly, revenue from our self-opera ted online stores and online distributors
decreased during the Track Record Period. In part icular, we strategically adjusted our channel
strategies, as we believe the sales to emerging reta il channels, such as membe rship stores and national
snack chains are in line with the prevailing industr y development toward these channels and offer
consistent growth momentum and better sales efficiency through, among others, improved shelf
visibility and more targeted consumer reach.
Arrangements with Retailer Customers
We had similar framework agreements with most ret ailer customers including supermarkets,
membership stores and snack stores. Our arrang ements with retailer customers differ from those
with distributors in that we typically supply custo mized products exclusive to retailers, whereas we
primarily supply standardized products to distributors. For example, the products we offer to
retailers may differ from those sold to distributo rs in terms package, siz e and sometimes product
types. In addition, we generally a fford retailer customers greater flexibility with respect to marketing
promotions, sales strategies and favorable credi t terms compared to distributors. During the Track
Record Period, the salient terms of our agreemen ts with supermarkets and snack stores typically
include:
. Terms . We typically enter into one-year agree ment with retailer customers, subject to
renewal upon mutual consent by the parties.
. Payment and Credit Terms . We issue invoices to our reta iler customers following the
shipment of relevant products, and our customers are required to pay within the specified
time upon receipt of invoices.
. Delivery . Generally, we are responsible for delivering the products to the location
designated by our retailer customers at the specified time.
. Pricing. We sell our products to retailer custome rs at mutually agreed price levels and
provide them with recommended retail prices.
. Minimum Purchase Requirements . We may set minimum purchase requirements for our
retailer customers. For retailer customers wh o fail to meet the required purchase amount,
we do not impose penalties on them but may offer support, such as facilitating their
marketing efforts.
. Product Promotions. For certain retailer customers, such as national supermarkets, we are
permitted to conduct marketing activities on their sites.
BUSINESS

. Product Returns. We may accept return of defective products or products that are not
delivered under the agreed conditions. We do not accept expired products from retailer
customers. During the Track Record Period, we did not have any product returns from
retailer customers in respect of expired products.
. Anti-Bribery and Corruption. We agree to comply with any laws, regulations or internal
policies relating to anti-bribery and anti-k ickbacks in selling our products to retailer
customers.
While contractual agreements with these membe rship stores are generally similar to those with
retailer customers, we customized or co-devel oped products in accordance with the agreed
specifications that catered to their target consu mer groups. During the Track Record Period, the
salient terms of our agreements with member ship store customers typically include:
. Terms. We typically enter into one-year agr eement with membership stores.
. Payment Term. We typically require membership store customers to pay upon receiving
the products, and we may offer credit terms.
. Product Specifications. We ensure our products comply with product specifications
mutually agreed upon with the membership st ore, which may also stipulate specific
requirements for the raw materials used in production.
. Delivery. We are obligated to deliver products to the location designated by the
membership stores.
. Product Return. We generally do not accept any product return, except in cases of product
defect or quality issues.
. Anti-Bribery and Corruption. We agree to comply with any laws, regulations or internal
policies relating to anti-bribery, anti-kickb acks and anti-corruption in our collaboration
with membership stores.
Movements of Retailer Customers
We experienced rapid growth in the number of retailer customers we cooperated with, including
supermarket customers and snack store customers from 2023 to 2025. In addition, we started to
engage membership store customers in late 2024 an d cooperated with two membership stores as of
December 31, 2025.

Note:

Distributorship
We have cultivated a highly adaptive distributio n network. Wholesale distributors, with their
deeply entrenched networks in high-demand mar kets, enable us to seamlessly connect with core
consumer bases and swiftly addre ss concentrated demand. Additio nally, we primarily sell products
to convenience stores through our distributors. Onlin e distributors, leveraging their advanced digital
infrastructure and robust logistical capabilities, facilitate streamlined bulk transactions and foster
efficient engagement with business customers. Our o nline distributors typically sell our products on
reputable e-commerce platforms, such as Taobao, JD.com, as well as live commerce platforms, such
as Douyin.
As of December 31, 2025, we engaged a total of 1,4 39 distributors. During the Track Record
Period, our revenue from distributorship amounted to RMB881.7 million, RMB659.1 million and
RMB530.8 million in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectivel y. We offer customized products that feature
affordability and price-to-value to certain distri butors, targeting lower-ti ered cities through our
market campaign to make our high-qualit y plum products accessible to everyone.
We determine the number and allocation of distri butors by considering the income level of the
target consumer bases, market potential and dist ribution coverage, establishing an efficient and
reasonable distribution network.
Management of Distributors
We implement a strict screening and evaluat ion mechanism to assess our distributors’
performance, emphasizing on both their sales capab ilities and marketing efforts. We conduct on-site
visits to gather feedback from local points of sale re garding the distributors’ distribution capacity,
service quality and reputation in their respectiv e regions, while also reviewing the quality of
distributors’ product display through documenting the photographs of display condition in our
internal system. This assessment process allows us to further gauge distributors’ reputation and
network reach within their geographic regions . Our local business supervisors, who have close
connections with local points of sales, also assess t he distributors’ capacity by reviewing the coverage
of products they currently distribute at these points of sales. These local business supervisors are
members of our in-house sales and marketing teams and are responsible for overseeing our sales
network within designated geographic markets. They monitor channel performance, coordinate local
execution of sales initiatives, and liaise between our sales and marketing team and local market
participants. Additionally, we evaluate distributo rs’ key operational capab ilities, including their
warehousing facilities, logistical vehicles, personnel management and financial stability, thereby
ensuring that they meet our high standards. We mai ntain a distributor selection and management
policy, which sets out obligations for distribut ors serving different channels. In general, a
BUSINESS
–1 0 6–


--- page 116 ---
prospective distributor must possess (i) valid operat ing credentials, adequate capital resources and a
solid business reputation, (ii) well-established co mmercial relationships with local points of sales,
robust display resources, and the ability to provi de high quality retail services, (iii) extensive
experience and strategic approaches in operating snack food brands, (iv) a professional sales team
with strong capabilities in channel servicing and exp ansion, (v) sound interna l management, and (vi)
qualified warehouse for inventory storage, along wi th appropriate logistics vehicles that can fulfill
timely delivery to customers. We also impose mark et coverage requiremen ts on distributors for
different sales channels. Distributors place orders based on their demand, and we ship products to
them within a week of receiving the payment, en suring the efficiency of our distribution.
We evaluate our distributors’ performance by regularly monitoring their inventory level to
measure their sales performance and assess if th ey may achieve the minimum purchase amount.
However, we cannot ascertain the p recise volume of unsold inventory held by our distributors, since
our on-site inventory reviews of distributors are conducted on a sample basis and are not
comprehensive to cover all inventory held by distri butors. Besides their sales performance, we also
evaluate their involvement in advancing and execut ing our marketing goals, ensuring alignment with
our broader brand objectives. To incentivize our distributors, we offer sales discounts for our
distributors with outstanding annual sales performance and set different tiers for distributors based
on their sales performance. Specifically, we set quarterly sales targets for our distributors, who are
evaluated at the end of each quarter. Sales discounts are granted exclusively to those distributors
who are able to meet their designated quarterly ta rgets. During the Track Record Period, the sales
discounts we offered to distributors amo unted to RMB117.1 million, RMB88.3 million and
RMB44.9 million in 2023, 2024 and 2 025, respectively, accountin g for 13.3%, 13.4% and 8.5% of the
revenue from sales to distributors during the resp ective years. The decrease in such sales discounts
during the Track Record Period was primarily a ttributable to our strategic refinement of our
distributorship arrangement to enhance distribu tion efficiency. In particular, we granted sales
discounts only to those who both achieve sales targets and demonstrate effective product promotion.
In parallel, we are strategically shifting focus from d istributorships to other sales channels, including
membership stores and snack stores. For those distributors who are unable to achieve our minimum
purchase amount targets, we may decide to terminate their distributorship.
Our distributors may engage sub-distributo rs, and we did not enter into any agreements or
otherwise directly establish relationships with any sub-distributor during the Track Record Period.
As a result, we do not have control over sub-distributors. This arrangement enhances operational
efficiency by delegating key localized responsi bilities such as inventory management, last-mile
delivery and order fulfillment, allowing distributors to prioritize overarching operational goals and
strategic management. Under our distributorship agreements, distributors are expected to monitor
the operations of their sub-distributors, includi ng their inventory levels, sales performance and
market activities, to ensure alignment with our ov erall sales and distribution strategy. We impose
penalties on distributors for any violations and misconduct by their sub-distributors, encouraging
them to actively oversee their sub-distributors. During the Track Record Period, our distributors
appointed 578, 782 and 1,365 sub-di stributors in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The number of
sub-distributors increased throughout Track Reco rd Period mainly because our distributors further
penetrated lower-tier cities, where they relied on the sub-distributors’ local operation and sales
expertise. According to Frost & Sullivan, it is a common industry practice for companies in the
industry in which we operate to rely on third- party distributors to sell their products to
sub-distributors and retailers without enter ing into contractual relationships with such
sub-distributors and retailers.
BUSINESS
–1 0 7–


--- page 117 ---
Offering sales discounts and the engagement of sub- distributors could potentially increase the
risk of channel stuffing, as distributors or their sub-distributors might be incentivized to purchase
more products than they can sell in order to bene fit from discounts or ma intain relationships.
However, we believe that we have taken comprehensive measures to mitigate such risks and that our
sales correspond to actual consumer demand and therefore our products are at low risk of channel
stuffing in our distribution network, because (i ) we generally do not accept product returns from
distributors except for returns caused by product quality issues, ensuring that distributors place
orders based on realistic sales forecasts rather tha n speculative or inflated volumes; (ii) we carefully
determine the types of products sold to distrib utors by evaluating market demand forecasts and
adjust the minimum purchase requirements according t o distributors’ sales capabilities. Specifically,
our approach combines consumer surveys and analysis of sales data from key retail outlets to
capture purchasing preferences and price sensitiv ity. We also review third-party industry reports to
monitor competitive dynamics and incorporate historical sales trends to project market capacity and
upcoming sales targets. These assessments are con ducted on a regular basis and minimum purchase
requirements are adjusted periodically to reflect c hanges in market demand and distributors’ actual
sales performance; (iii) we offer sales discounts mai nly to incentivize distributors with outstanding
sales performance; (iv) the relatively short sh elf life of our products further discourages
overstocking, as distributors bear full responsib ility for the costs of disposing of expired products,
incentivizing them to maintain prudent invent ory levels that align with market demand; (v) we
deliver products to distributors only after they make full payments for their orders, which promotes
their disciplined inventory manag ement aligned with actual sales projections; (vi) we closely monitor
distributors’ demand, and if an order exceeds the demand forecast, our sales team may conduct an
on-site assessment to verify whether the distribut or can sell the requested quantity; and (vii) our
dedicated market research team conducts consumer and market studies three to four times per
month. To stay closely connected to market dynamic s, our local business supervisors conduct weekly
assessments to evaluate channel demand, identify emerging trends, and address distributor concerns.
Our sales personnel from our headquarters also c arry out one to two on-site visits each month,
engaging directly with both points of sales and distr ibutors to ensure the effective implementation of
our sales strategy.
Arrangements with Distributors
We typically enter into standard distributio n agreements, which are sales and purchase
agreements in nature, with our distributors. U nder these agreements, we deliver our products to
distributors after they place orders and recognize revenue when they accept our products upon
delivery. According to Frost & Sullivan, our distribu tion arrangement, in particular the goods return
policy, is in line with industry norm.
During the Track Record Period, the salient te rms of our standard distribution agreements
include:
. Terms . We typically enter into one-year agreements with distributors, subject to renewal
upon mutual consent of the parties.
. Minimum Purchase Amount. To incentivize our distributors, we typically set overall
minimum purchase amount for distributors d uring the terms of distributorships,
considering their designated regions and sa les capabilities. We further specify their
monthly targets for different product categories to align with our overall sales and
marketing strategies.
. Pricing. O u rd i s t r i b u t o r sm u s ts e tt h e i rr e t a i lp r i c e si na c c o r d a n c ew i t ho u rs u g g e s t e d
prices.
. Payment and Delivery. We require our distributors to make payment before the delivery of
products, and we will deliver to the location designated by distributors.
BUSINESS
–1 0 8–


--- page 118 ---
. Inventory. Our distributors are required to keep our products in suitable warehousing
conditions.
. Product Return. We generally do not allow product returns. We reserve the rights to reject
any product returns except those caused by the defective products upon inspection.
. Marketing and Promotions . Our distributors should assist our marketing plans and
promptly report market information to u s. They are also obligated to protect our
intellectual properties, reputation and brand images.
. Termination. We have the right to terminate the distribution contracts if our distributors
breach specified contractual terms. In particular, we are typically allowed to terminate
contracts with distributors who fail to purc hase products for several consecutive months
or violate their sales obligations under contracts.
. Penalties for Cannibalization. We expressly prohibit distributors from selling products
outside of their designated channels and geographical regions. In addition, we send sales
teams to regularly monitor any cannibalization. We impose fines or terminate
distributorships for distributors who sell products outside of their designated channels
and regions.
. Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption. Our distributors are committed to the transparent and
fair business practices, agreeing to comply with any anti-bribery, anti-corruption and
anti-kickbacks laws and regulations.
We formulate and implement policies to prevent existing employees from working for or
owning equity in any of our distributors. In addition, our internal control policy ensures equal
treatment of our distributors, providing consisten t pricing and incentive mechanisms to distributors
across regions. To the best of our knowledge, during the Track Record Period, all of our distributors
were Independent Third Parties. During the T rack Record Period, there was no employment,
financing or family relationship between our distributors and us or o ur subsidiaries, our
shareholders, directors or senior management, or any of their respective associates.
Movements of Distributors
The table below sets forth the total number of ou r distributors during and their movements for
the years indicated:
Year ended December 31,

distributors 198 (2) 43
Number at the end of the year 1,398 1,396 1,439
During Track Record Period, we terminated 641 distributors. We terminated distributors
mainly because we changed our sales strategy to in crease sales through our retailer customers, while
replacing underperforming distributors with new di stributors to further penetrate into new markets.
During the Track Record Period and up to the La test Practicable Date, we had no material
unresolved disputes or lawsuits with terminated distributors.

Coordination between Sales Channels
To balance different sales channels and ensu re our distribution efficiency, we adopt the
following measures to mitigate cannibalization r isks among the distributors and other sales
channels:
. Differentiated Products. We strategically sell products with different packaging across
various sales channels. For example, products sold through our self-operated online stores
differ from those sold in other channels in several aspects, including packaging design,
product weight, flavor selection and pricin g. We may customize products with different
packaging specifications for our membership store or snack store customers.
Additionally, to mitigate channel cannibaliz ation, we differentiate our product portfolio
for different channels based on the consumption behaviors of their target consumer bases.
Meanwhile, for distributors, we adjust product types and packaging sizes according to
local consumption patterns. We strictly prohibit distributors from selling any other
similar products without our authorization. I n addition, we designate product categories
and specify sales targets by ea ch category for distributors.
. Pricing. We also employ channel-specific pricin g strategies to ensure that retailer
customers and distributors all maintain sufficient profit margins. Each channel’s
customized offerings are pric ed to align with its target consumer base while preserving
adequate profitability, thereby discouragin g channel cannibalization. We implement a
pricing policy setting the minimum retail price for our products and require both our
distributors and their sub-distributors to st rictly adhere to this policy by not setting their
prices below the established minimum. If any dis tributors or their sub-distributors violate
our pricing strategy, we may temporarily su spend product deliveries to non-compliant
distributors, impose penalties, or even ter minate their distribu torships, until they
complete necessary rectifying measures and ensure future compliance with our pricing
policies.
. Monitoring. Our sales team monitors the pricing of our products across various sales
channels. This team conducts regular reviews, at least once a month, of price levels at both
distributor and retail endpoints, identifying any deviations from our suggested retail
price. In cases where pricing violations or c ross-regional sales are detected, the team
promptly reports such incidents.
. Geographical and Channel Restrictions. We specifically require our distributors to restrict
their sales to the designated regions and channels authorized by us. We have established
comprehensive written policies that requires sub -distributors to operate strictly within the
authorized channels and regions specified in the distribution agreement. In addition to
contractual controls, we have implemented a p roduct tracing system, which enables full
traceability of each product thro ughout the distribution chain.
. Penalties for Violations. We have implemented a three- strikes penalty system to
discourage distributors from selling product s outside their designated channels. For the
first two violations, we will either impose fin es or increase the sales price, and upon the
third violation, we will terminate the distributorship.
. Product Tracing System. We have employed a comprehensive product tracing system in
which every product is assigned a unique label, enabling us to trace the product back to
the distributor who places it in the market. Additionally, for products sold through our
online self-operated stores and retail channe ls, we can track their origin to ensure full
oversight.
During the Track Record Period, our revenu e was mainly attributable to standardized
products, which accounted for 99.6%, 98.6% and 8 6.3% of our total revenue in 2023, 2024 and 2025,
respectively. We introduced certain customized products and co-branding products in 2022 and 2023
on a trial basis to explore market opportunities. Be ginning in 2024, we strategically offered certain
customized products tailored for emerging retail channels.

Pricing
Our retail sales prices are set according to various factors, such as brand positioning, marketing
strategy, market condition and production cost s. In managing our distribution network, we
implement stringent pricing policies to prevent ch annel cannibalization and maintain market order.
Our pricing typically leaves sufficient profit margins for our distributors. We enforce compliance
with these policies by requiring adherence to minimum pricing standards, supported by robust
monitoring mechanisms and clear consequences for violations.
MARKETING AND PROMOTION
During the Track Record Period , our selling and distribution expenses amounted to RMB309.4
million, RMB310.2 million and RMB271.7 million in 2023, 2 024 and 2025, respectively, representing
23.4%, 19.2% and 15.9% of our total revenue in each respective year.
Committed to promoting the plum culture, we adopt the culture-driven marketing strategy that
educates consumers about the rich history of plum -based food. Our multi-faceted marketing style
provides an immersive experience to consumers, crea ting emotional connections with our customers,
while enriching the cultural narratives of our brand.
Product Marketing
Our product marketing strategy is tailored to the distinct features of our products. For our
classic products, we emphasize on assigning uniqu e identities of each product by highlighting its
distinctive features and functionalities, while advocating diversified consumption scenarios and
driving consumption. For instance, Snow Plum i s marketed for its soothing effects on throat
discomfort and Smoked Plum is marketed for its appetite-stimulating properties, and prune-based
product for its digestive benefits. Meanwhile, packaging is meticulously designed to reinforce each
product’s core and strengthen consumer recognition. For special-flavor products, we launch targeted
campaigns centered on unique ingredients and origins, supported by distinctive slogans and visual
elements, to create compelling consumption scen arios and broaden appeal, particularly among
younger consumers. For example, our market campaign for our pineapple-flavored plum highlights
the origin of the pineapple used for the product while adopting the invigorating packaging and
regional-special slogan, seamlessly integrating this narrative into the product’s promotional
materials. We position plum jelly as a versatile product that transcends the seasonal limitations
often associated with traditional jelly products . In particular, through packaging and slogans
resonating with the holiday spirit, our Chines e New Year campaign for plum jelly makes it a New
Year treat. By associating different flavors of plu m jelly with diversified specific lifestyles or
occasions, we redefine plum jelly as a year-round s taple that addresses the s easonality limitations of
traditional jelly products.
Product Customization
Through providing customized products to KA customers and targeted marketing of these
products, we reach to diversified consumer bases. For our customized products to membership
stores, we strategically position them as premium offerings tailored to meet the preferences of
high-end consumer segments.
Understanding that different channels cater to unique consumer bases with distinct purchasing
habits, we tailor our product offerings accordingly to capture these varying consumption patterns. In
particular, to expand our reach in lower-tier ci ties, we provide customized products to certain
distributors, advocating in our campaign to make our high-quality plum-based products accessible
to everyone.
Moreover, we collaborate with major food and beverage brands by developing co-branded
plum-flavored products. This collaboration enables us to fully explore the potential of plum flavor.
BUSINESS

--- page 121 ---
The salient terms of our co-branding colla boration agreements typically include:
. Terms. We generally enter into agreements with our co-branding corporate partner for a
term not exceeding one year.
. Branding. Both parties determine the design of co -branding products for sale and permit
the use of each other’s brands and logos on these products and related marketing
materials.
. Approval. All materials featuring our brands and logos must be submitted to us for
evaluation and approval prior to their release for marketing purposes.
. Intellectual Property. We own all intellectual property rights related to our branding,
marketing materials and logos, and we share i ntellectual property rights with the other
party for materials incorporating both our brands and logos.
. Termination. We are allowed to terminate the agreement if the other party breaches the
agreed terms in the contract or causes damages to our brand.
In 2023 and 2024, we partnered with cross-indust ry brands, including a well-known chain milk
tea brand and a chain bakery sto re, to co-develop plum-flavore d milk tea and plum-flavored cake,
which gained significant popularity upon launch. The se co-branding collaboration initiatives caught
attention on social media platforms, further str engthening our brand’s association with sour and
plum flavors while effectively expanding our reach to a younger consumers.
Culture-driven Marketing
Our marketing campaign reinforces our c ommitment to promoting the plum culture.
Recognizing the growing interest among younger generations in the ‘‘new Chinese style,’’ which
combines traditional Chinese aesthetics with mo dern fashion, we have seamlessly integrated these
elements into our product packaging and marketing materials that feature motifs and patterns that
reflect the elegance and heritage of Chinese plum culture while adding a contemporary, youthful
twist.
Festival Marketing
In addition to our culture-driven marketing , we implement festival-focused marketing
strategies tailored to summer and Chinese New Year. Summer campaigns position our products
as refreshing and energizing options for active lifestyles, emphasizing cooling attributes and
introducing limited-edition flavors aligned with sea sonal demand. These initiatives are amplified
through digital platforms and lifestyle-oriente d content, complemented by summer-themed pop-up
events. Chinese New Year represents the peak of our annual marketing activities, with campaigns
centered on themes of reunion, celebration and pr osperity. During the holiday season, our brand
presence is reinforced through initiatives such as festive packaging, gifti ng-oriented product lines
(e.g. the ‘‘Family Bucket’’ and ‘‘Eye -Catching Pack’’ series), and in-s tore activities including gift
wrapping and themed tastings. The following pi ctures illustrate some of our festival marketing
initiatives:
KOL and Celebrity Marketing
We frequently collaborate with celebritie s and KOLs to facilitate the launch of new
products. Recognizing the rising popularity o f live-commerce, we intr oduce engaging topics
that associate our new products with our celeb rity ambassadors or organize live-commerce
sales featuring our ambassadors. The costs a ssociated with the use of KOLs are recognized as
marketing expenses during the Track Record Per iod. Our total GMV attributable to the top ten
KOLs was RMB12.8 million, RMB13.9 million and RMB16.2 million in 2023, 2024 and 2025,
respectively. As the sales by KOLs in all platform sd u r i n gt h eT r a c kR e c o r dP e r i o dr e p r e s e n t e d
a relatively insignificant amount of the total sales amount, we believe that there is no
concentration risk relating to one or more KOLs.
BUSINESS
–1 1 2–


--- page 122 ---
We carefully select our brand ambassadors who align with our youthful, vibrant and
elegant brand image that resonates strongly with younger generations. We have implemented
the following internal co ntrol measures for engaging celebri ties and KOLs: (i) we require in the
contracts that celebrities and KOLs comply with all PRC laws and regulations during our
collaborations; (ii) we regularly coordinate with our legal department, which periodically
updates us on relevant laws and regulations to ens ure continued compliance; (iii) for livestream
events with KOLs, we provide them with product briefs and pre-approved copywriting to
minimize the risk of livestream content violatin g applicable laws and regulations; (iv) our
collaboration agreements with KOLs expressly r equire KOLs to adhere to applicable laws and
regulations during the livestream events or other marketing activities featuring our products;
and (v) our public relations department promptly responds to any adverse publicity affecting
our engaged celebrities and KOLs. During th e Track Record Period and up to the Latest
Practicable Date, we did not receive any penalti es or notices from government authorities or
from e-commerce and live commerce platforms t hat would materially effect our business,
operations or financial condition. Our Directors believe that (i) our use of KOLs during the
Track Record Period complied with all applicable laws and regulations, taking into account our
strict adherence to relevant laws and regulations when selecting KOLs, and our robust internal
control measures; and (ii) no misleading adverti sing was used during the Track Record Period.
In view of our compliance record and internal controls, our Directo rs believe that we can
continue adhering to relevant laws and regulati ons. Accordingly, our Directors believe that the
risk of our brand image being harmed by negativ e publicity or inappropriate behavior of our
engaged celebrities and KOLs, as well as the risk of incurring regulatory penalties for such
engagements, is low. Based on the due diligence wo rk conducted by the Joint Sponsors, nothing
material has come to the Joint Sponsors’ attention that would reasonably cause them to cast
doubt on the views of the Directors set out above.
During the Track Record Period, the salient te rms of our agreements with celebrities and
KOLs typically include:
. Terms. We typically enter into an agreement wi th a term of three months to one year,
subject to the renewal upon mutual agreement.
. Fees. In addition to the basic service fees at a fixed rate, we will pay incentive fees
based on the sales targets and commission fees calculated as a proportion of an
agreed sales indicator, such as Gross Sale s Value, through the livestream platform.
. Negative Publicity. In the event that, during the promotion period, we, our senior
executives, or our designate d brand ambassadors are involved in adverse publicity or
negative news coverage, the other party shall have the right to terminate this
agreement.
. Anti-corruption and Anti-bribery. Both parties are required to comply with all
anti-bribery, anti-corruption and anti-kickbacks laws and regulations in China.
OUR CUSTOMERS
Our major customers primarily comprise both retailers and distributors. During the Track
Record Period, revenue from our five largest customers in each year accounted for 14.2%, 33.1%
and 45.8% of our total revenue for the respective year. The increase in revenue generated from our
five largest customers in each year during the Track Record Period was primar ily attributable to our
strengthened cooperation with fast-expanding nati onal snack stores, which t ypically purchase large
volumes of our products due to their centralized procurement systems and extensive store networks.
During the Track Record Period, revenue from our largest customer in each year accounted for
3.4%, 14.1% and 16.4% of our total revenue for the respective year. Our largest customer in 2022
and 2023 was a leading nationwide chain superm arket, which offered comprehensive range of
groceries, food and household items. Our largest customers in 2024 and 2025, Customer B and
Customer C, were nationwide chain snack stores.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, none of o ur Directors, their associates or any of our
shareholders (who owned or to the knowledge of Directors had owned more than 5% of our issued
share capital) had any interest in any of our five largest customers.
In 2024, our sales to Customer B and Customer C increased significantly, primarily due to our
strategy to strengthen collaboration with national snack c hains. Snack chains emerged as they
o f f e r e ds n a c k si np a c k a g e st a i l o r e dt op u r c h a s eb e haviors of frequent snack buyers. Leveraging their
specialty in selling snacks and close relationships with our target snack consumer bases, we
strategically increased our sales to national s nack chains, enhancing our market reach and
amplifying our shelf visibility. Our revenue attributable to Customer B and Customer C continued to
increase in 2025, primarily due to our continuously e xpanding sales to snack stores. In particular,
Customer C experienced rapid growth in its snac k retail business, leading to an increase in the
procurement volume of our products during this year.
Third-Party Payment Arrangements
Background and Implications Relating to Third-Party Payment Arrangements
During the Track Record Period, certain of our c ustomers (individually or collectively, the
‘‘Relevant Customer(s) ’’) settled payments with us throug h accounts that do not belong to the
contractual parties (the ‘‘ Third Party Payment Arrangements ’’). We generally required the Relevant
Customers and their designated third-party payors to undertake our review procedures, such as
providing us with written confirmation of delega tion before entering into Third-Party Payment
Arrangements. In 2023, 2024 and 2025, the aggre gate amount settled with the Relevant Customers
under the Third-Party Payment Arrangem ents was RMB299.8 million, RMB193.7 million and
RMB73.1 million, respectively, representing 22. 7%, 12.0% and 4.3% of the total revenue for the
same years. No single Relevant Customer made ma terial contribution to our revenue in any year
during the Track Record Period. As of October 1, 2024, we had ceased all Third-Party Payment
Arrangements except for circumstances where p ayments were settled thr ough the accounts of the
operators in the case of sole proprietorships.
BUSINESS
–1 1 5–


--- page 125 ---
The Relevant Customers during the Track Reco rd Period were distributors primarily in the
form of sole proprietorships, limited liability co mpanies (owned by either individuals or legal
entities) and, in limited cases, partnerships. Based o n the representations of the Relevant Customers
and to the best knowledge of our Directors, the Rel evant Customers mainly utilized Third-Party
Payment Arrangements either because they preferr ed using their affiliated persons’ accounts for
convenience, or because they would like to avoid the cumbersomeness of corporate accounts and
maintain operational flexibility. To the best of o ur knowledge, the designa ted third-party payors
primarily consisted of persons affiliated wit h the Relevant Customers, such as controlling
shareholders, operators’ family members or emplo yees of the Relevant Customers. According to
the Frost & Sullivan, it is a common commercial pract ice for businesses in the snack food industry in
China to settle payments through third-party payors with their suppliers or customers for
convenience and flexibility.
During the Track Record Period, we did not initi ate any Third-Party Payment Arrangements,
and the Third-Party Payment Arrangements were arranged based on the Relevant Customers’
requests. We did not provide any discount, co mmission, rebate or other benefits to any of the
Relevant Customers or the designated third-party pa yors to facilitate or incentivize the Third-Party
Payment Arrangements. During the Track Record Period, the relevant payments were based on bona
fide underlying transactions and va lid contractual relationships. The pricing and payment terms we
provided to the Relevant Customers were in line w ith those provided to customers not involved in
the Third-Party Payment Arrangements. During th e Track Record Period, to the best knowledge of
our Directors, all Relevant Customers and the designated third-party payors who settled payments
under the Third-Party Payment Arrangem ents were Independent Third Parties.
We were not the subject of any investigations, enq uiries, penalties or surcharges as a result of
our involvement in the Third-Party Payment Arrangements during the Track Record Period and up
to the Latest Practicable Date. In addition, we ha d not encountered any refund requests, actual or
pending disputes or disagreements due to Third-P arty Payment Arrangements or any material claims
against us in relation to the Third-Party Payment A rrangements during the Track Record Period and
up to the Latest Practicable Date.
As advised by our PRC Legal Advisor, (i) the risk s of financial losses caused by the Third-Party
Payment Arrangements were low for our Group; (ii) the Third-Party Payment Arrangements during
the Track Record Period do not contravene the mandatory provisions of the Civil Code of the PRC
or other relevant applicable PRC laws and regulation s currently in effect; (iii) the likelihood that we
would be imposed any administrative penalties fo r being deemed as violating relevant PRC laws and
regulations related to tax eva sion in connection with aforementioned Third-Party Payment
Arrangements is remote; and (iv) the risk of t he Third-Party Payment Arrangements being
deemed as constituting the crime of money laund ering under Article 191 of the Criminal Law of the
PRC (《中華人民共和國刑法》) for the purpose of disguising or concealing the source and nature of
proceeds or gains is low.
Enhanced Internal Control Measures and Cessa tion of Third-party Payment Arrangements
We required the Relevant Customers to commu nicate with us the relevant information,
including, among others, the reasons for the Thir d-Party Payment Arrangements and the identity of
the involved third-party payors. We generally requ ired the Relevant Customers to undertake review
procedures, such as providing us with the written d elegation, which specifies that the designated
third-party payors are authorized by the Relevant Customers to settle payments with us and that the
Relevant Customers shall bear the liabilities of a ny economic dispute caused by the Third Party
Payment Arrangements.
BUSINESS
–1 1 6–


--- page 126 ---
We have implemented enhanced internal control measures, including, among others: (i) we
started to implement Third-Party Payment Arrang ements rectification measures and informed our
employees of the enhanced internal control measures; and (ii) we issued a notice on September 24,
2024, pursuant to which we only allow payments either (a) directly from the accounts of the
customers; or (b) through the accounts of the o perators in the case of sole proprietorships.
Our Directors consider that the rectification of the Third-Party Payment Arrangements did not
have, nor will have, any material adverse effect on the Group, as (i) all of the Relevant Customers
who continue to conduct transactions with us sinc e the implementation of enhanced internal control
measures cooperated with the rectification proces s to cease all Third-Party Payment Arrangements;
(ii) the rectification of Third-Party Payment Arra ngements did not affect the payment settlement
arrangement from our Relevant Customers to us; an d (iii) the cessation of the Third-Party Payment
Arrangements has not resulted in any loss of our customers.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
As of December 31, 2025, we had 29 R&D professionals, and many of whom have postgraduate
degrees. We attend campus recruiting events to hire graduating college students majoring in food
engineering, food safety and nutrition, polymer ch emistry and other fields, further expanding our
R&D team. We also actively collaborate with resear chers to explore the potential of plums in other
untapped fields by contributing our industry k nowhows to facilitate aca demic research of plum
varieties and planting techniques.
Product R&D
Our product R&D involves four key steps: (i) prod uct design, (ii) product validation, (iii) raw
material procurement, and (iv) product launch. At the product design stage, our branding and
marketing team conducts market analysis to assess tr ends, consumer preferences and the competitive
landscape, and evaluates the technical and financ ial feasibility of product concepts. Upgrades to
existing products usually take two to three months, while new product development may take a year
or more, with seasonal products planned as part of our annual strategy. At the product validation
stage, product prototypes are te sted through internal assessments and independent third-party
consumer blind testing, and only qualified products proceed to trial production. At the raw material
procurement stage, our R&D team sets quality s tandards for raw materi als, manufacturing,
packaging and finished products, and coordinates with relevant teams to source key materials and
ensure consistent product quality and brand-aligned packaging. At the product launch stage,
products undergo internal flavor testing and market trials on a small to medium scale, and mass
production begins only after positive market feedback is confirmed.
Fundamental R&D
We collaborated with academic and research insti tutions to conduct fundamental research of
plums.
The salient terms of our collaborations with r esearch institutions are set forth as below:
. Term. We typically enter into an agreement with a term up to three years.
. Obligations. We shall formulate an annual research plan with the research institution,
specifying the R&D objectives and timelines. T he research institution shall form a team of
experts to support the development of new plum varieties. The research institution shall
also promote plum planting technologies.
. Intellectual Property. Both parties share the intellectua l property rights of any research
results.
BUSINESS
–1 1 7–


--- page 127 ---
. Confidentiality. Both parties shall be obligated to ma intain the confidentiality of each
other’s trade secrets, product formulas, intellectual property, product information and
other key commercial information.
We established the Liuliumei Research Institu te, which has united a team of top-tier experts
and formed strategic partnerships with renowned aca demic institutions. Additionally, the Institute
was recognized as a Provincial High Technology Ente rprise, underscoring our dedication to driving
innovation within the plum industry. Committed t o improving plum varieties, enhancing plum
planting techniques and exploring the medicinal value of plums, the Institute has spearheaded in
drafting various industry standards, such as the ‘‘Provincial Standard for Plum Seedlings’’ and the
‘‘Provincial Standard for Plum Cultivation.’’
Moreover, we led in establishing the National P lum Innovation Alliance, in collaboration with
academic institutions and leadi ng enterprises within the snack food industry. The Alliance has
integrated industry resources to meet broader industry needs.
Leveraging advanced food processing technologi es, we have developed a precision extraction
and concentration technique to preserve key natural constituents of plums, including organic acids,
phenolic compounds and volatile aromatic, while amplifying plums’ inherent flavor profiles. Our
proprietary formula replaces artificial additives with natural alternatives, such as natural
fermentation derivatives, plant-based po lyphenol antioxidants, as well as fruit or
vegetable-sourced pigments. Third-party GC-MS analysis verifies that our manufacturing process
has enhanced natural flavor compound concentration, creating a complex while authentic taste
profile.
OUR PRODUCTION
Our Production Facilities
During the Track Record Period, our production plants mainly produced dried plum snacks,
plum jelly and prune-based products. We strat egically build our produ ction bases in major
plum-sourcing regions in China, timely processi ng our raw materials to preserve their quality. We
also engage some third-party c ontractors, from time to time, primarily to ease the short-term
pressure on our production facilities caused b y the short shelf life of our raw materials and
temporary production shortage during peak seasons. See ‘‘— Seasonality.’’ We typically engage
contractors to facilitate only certain phases of th e production, such as the pickling phase for our
dried plum snacks. To the best of our knowledge, during the Track Record Period, all of our
third-party contractors were Independent Third Pa rties. During the Track Record Period, there was
no employment, financing or family relationship between our third-party contractors and us or our
subsidiaries, our shareholders, directors or senior management, or any of their respective associates.

growth opportunities in these categories. The ut ilization rate for prune-based products decreased
from 86.0% as of December 31, 2024 to 68.6% as of December 31, 2025, mainly because of the
ramp-up of our designed production capacity for prune-based products in 2025, in response to the
growing market demand for prune-based pro ducts and the accelerated sales growth.
The following table sets forth the production cap acity, production volume and utilization rate
of our four production plants for finished products during the Track Record Period:

Notes:
(1) The designed production capacity of the year is calcu lated based on the following assumptions: (i) All product
lines are functioning in its full capacity; (ii) our pr oduction facilities operate 16 hours per day for most of our
products; and (iii) we operate at every working day per year.
(2) The utilization rate of our production plant during the year equals the actual produ ction volume divided by the
designed production capacity during the same year.
(3) During the Track Record Period, Anhui Plant primarily produced dried plum products and prune-based
products. The utilization rate of Anhui Plant decreased from 93.9% in 2024 to 77.7% in 2025, mainly because we
increased our sales focus on plum jelly and prune-base d products in response to market demand and consumer
preferences, and adjusted our production schedule accordingly to prioritize these two product categories. As our
Anhui Plant is principally configured for the production of dried plum snacks, this adjustment correspondingly
resulted in a decrease in its produc tion utilization rate. Looking ahead, we expect to launch new dried plum
products to attract consumers, which is expected to increase the utilization rate at the Anhui Plant over time.
(4) During the Track Record Period, our Plum Je lly Plant mainly produced plum jelly products.
(5) During the Track Record Period, our Wuhu Plant primarily produced dried plum products and other products.
(6) During the Track Record Period, our ‘‘Fiber Life’’ Na tural Food Production Plant p rimarily produced pitted
prune-based products.
Our Production Process
We conduct different production steps at specia lized production facilities located near the
major plum-sourcing regions, thereby facilitating o perational efficiency and reducing the time from
harvest to final production. Upon harvesting, plums are promptly shipped to the plum sorting
facilities, where plums undergo quality inspectio ns and grading. The sorted plums are then delivered
to preliminary processing facilitie s, where they are salted and sugared in vats in preparation for the
subsequent drying proce ss. These pickled plums are then transferred to the sun-drying facilities,
allowing them to naturally dry in sunlight and compl ete this critical phase. After sun-drying, the
plums either at our production plant or facilities spe cializing in these proced ures undergo washing,
flavoring and further drying. The resulting semi-finished products are sent for final product
inspection and packaging. Upon meeting our quality standards, the finished products are distributed
to the market.

The production of plum jelly begins with ri gorous inspection of raw plums sourced from
selected suppliers, during which unqualified mater ials are sorted out before processing. The raw
materials then undergo standardized seasoning a nd flavoring, where ingredients are precisely
measured and blended using digital systems to e nsure formulation consistency and minimize human
error. The blended jelly mixture is pr ocessed under controlled pressure and strict hygiene conditions
to achieve the desired texture, followed by high -temperature steam pasteurization to eliminate
potential contaminants and coolin g through low-temperature spray and hot-air drying to extend
shelf life without preservatives. Finished produc ts undergo visual imaging and manual inspections to
detect metal or other foreign contaminants bef ore being packaged using automated machinery,
assigned unique barcodes, and verified for weigh t accuracy. Finally, qualified and sealed products
are transferred to warehouses and stored under appropriate conditions prior to distribution. Our
advanced processing technologies in plum jelly prod uction, such as low-temperature processing and
high-pressure filtering, retain the nutrients in fr uits while preserving their natural flavors. The
following chart illustrates the production process of our plum jelly:

Our Production Expansion Plan
We plan to expand the production capacity for prune-based products as our newly launched
prune-based products have received widespread market acceptance, resulting in an increased
demand. Meanwhile, the utilization rate of our Plum Jelly Plant reached 80.0% as of December 31,
2025, as we promoted and sold more plum jelly products in response to rising market demand.
Looking forward, the market demand for our dried plum snacks, plum jelly and prune-based
products is expected to grow further due to incr easing market acceptance and popularity of our
brands. We therefore plan to expand the productio n capacity of our plum jelly line plant to meet this
persistently strong demand. In addition, we plan to increase the production capacity of our dried
plum snacks and prune-based products to accommo date diverse consumer preferences. As we expand
our product offerings into new categories lik e plum gummy and plum based condiments, we
anticipate that our current capacity will not be sufficient to keep up with the growing market
demand. This production expansion plan is therefore crucial to support our continued business
growth.
Our OEM Suppliers
We collaborate with reliable OEM suppliers for t he production of some of our plum jelly and
other plum-based products to relieve the production capacity shortage caused by overwhelming
market demand. In our collaborati ons, we provide raw materials directly to our OEM suppliers and
require them to comply with our quality standards and operational guidelines. These suppliers must
meet our specified requirements for production facilities and orga nize production based on agreed
conditions, equipment, process, st andards, quantities and timelines.
We have established and implemented internal control measures over our OEM suppliers to
ensure that products manufactured under our OEM arrangements are produced in accordance with
our quality standards and applicable regulatory requirements. In particular, such measures cover (i)
OEM supplier selection and approval, where we conduct qualification procedures prior to
engagement, including reviews of the OEM supplier ’s legal and regulatory compliance status; (ii)
contractual and specification controls, wher e we typically enter into OEM agreements and/or
quality-related arrangements that set out our pro duct specifications and acceptance criteria; (iii)
pre-production and in-process supervision, where we provide technical guidance and production
instructions as necessary and assi gn personnel to conduct periodic and/or on-site monitoring of the
OEM supplier’s production process; (iv) inspection , testing and release controls, where we conduct,
and/or require the OEM supplier to conduct under our supervision, appropriate quality inspections
at different stages; (v) traceability and docume ntation, where we requi re the OEM supplier to
maintain proper batch/lot identif ication and production records to facilitate traceability and, where
appropriate, we retain samples and maintain reco rds to support post-sale review and handling of
customer feedback; and (vi) ongoing evaluation and non-conformance management, and, in the
event of any failure to meet our internal guideline s and policies, we require t imely investigation and
rectification and may suspend further orders, reje ct the relevant products, require remedial actions
and enhanced supervision, and, where the circumst ances warrant, cease to work with the relevant
OEM supplier. We maintain long-term relation ships with our OEM suppliers. During the Track
Record Period, we did not experience any failure by our OEM supplier to meet our internal
guidelines and policies that might caus e to cease our business relationship.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Our procurement team is mainly responsible for purchasing raw materials, seasoning and other
auxiliary materials, packaging materials, equipmen t and accessories, office supplies, labor protection
products and other supplies that are necessary for our production. The procurement team
coordinates with our production team, preparing a procurement list based on the production team’s
plans, annual budgets and market price for raw materials.
Raw Materials
Our raw materials primarily include plums, p runes, fresh fruits and konjac, among others.
Seasoning and other auxiliary materials such as s alt and sugar are also used in our production. We
set stringent standards to selec t suppliers and effective mechani sms to monitor their performance,
enabling us to reduce production costs and ensure production quality. In addition, to effectively
manage the procurement costs, we maintain stro ng connections with our upstream plum suppliers.
During the Track Record Period, our gross profit m argins were adversely affected by increases in the
prices of certain key raw materials, including plums, prunes and sugar. However, we procure plums
in eight major plum sourcing regions — Fujian, Gu angdong, Guangxi, Yunn an, Sichuan, Zhejiang,
Anhui and Jiangsu — in China, and thus remain res ilient against price volatility or disruption in
supply. According to Frost & Sullivan, Fujian, has an annual plum output of approximately 200 kt,
benefited from a warm, humid climate and fertile soil conducive to premium-quality plums, and
supported by a mature industrial foundation for large-scale processing. There are about 43,000
specialized farmers’ cooperatives in Fujian. Guangdong has annual plum output at around 200 kt,
BUSINESS

--- page 132 ---
benefited from abundant rainfall and a robust industrial chain to cultivate large-sized, high-quality
plums with strong geographic branding. There are ab out 60,000 specialized farmers’ cooperatives in
Guangdong. Guangxi and Yunnan each produce around 100 kt of plums annually, receiving
government policies fostering specialty industr ies and benefited from high-altitude ecological
advantages that enhance plum qua lity. There are about 60,000 specialized farmers’ cooperatives in
Guangxi and about 70,000 cooperatives in Yunnan. Sichuan and Zhejiang, each with an annual
output of approximately 50 kt, capitalize on tradi tional fruit-growing expertise and integrated
planting-processing systems, resulting in consi stently shaped, aromatic plums. There are about
110,000 specialized farmers’ cooperatives in Sich uan and about 42,000 cooperatives in Zhejiang.
Anhui and Jiangsu, with annual plum output of around 30 kt and 20 kt, place emphasis on regional
brand development, advanced processing technologies and higher-value-added products, thus
fueling the plum cultivation in eastern China. There are about 115,000 specialized farmers’
cooperatives in Anhui and about 53,000 cooperati ves in Jiangsu. Furthermore, according to Frost &
Sullivan, all these major plum-sourcing provinces have implemented policies facilitating the plum
cultivation by local farmers and sp ecialized farmers’ cooperatives.
During the Track Record Period, the total procurement from our top five plum suppliers
amounted to RMB26.0 million, RMB30.8 millio n and RMB43.6 million in 2023, 2024 and 2025,
respectively. We had a total of 260, 328 and 361 specialized farmers’ cooperatives and plum farmers
during the same years. Our plum suppliers mainly comprised individual farmers and specialized
farmers’ cooperatives in major plum sourcing regio ns, which represented the collective interests of
groups of farmers.
The salient terms of our procurement agreement with upstream plum suppliers are set forth as
below:
. Term. We typically enter into a procurement agreement with plum suppliers with a term of
about one year.
. Product Quality. Under our procurement agreement, plum suppliers are required to
deliver plums that meet the specified size and quality requirements on the same day they
are harvested.
. Delivery. Plum suppliers are responsible for the logistics and shall deliver plums to the
place designated by us.
. Payment. We make the payment after accepting the delivery.
. Exclusivity. During our contractual term, plum su ppliers are prohibited from providing
plums to other purchasers.
. Anti-corruption and Anti-bribery . We attach the Fair Trade Commitment Letter to every
procurement contract, requiring our suppliers to refrain from any forms of bribery or
corrupt conduct that may be deemed unfair business practices.
We also maintain strong control over the prune supply chain, by sourcing premium-quality
prunes at competitive prices directly from the wor ld’s leading prune farms in regions such as Chile
and France. This direct procurement model enables us to maintain consistent supply for our
production needs cost-efficiently. When selectin g prune suppliers, we deploy specialized personnel to
these farms to conduct on-site inspections and select only the highest-quality prunes that meet our
stringent standards for production. Additionally, our large and stable procurement volume,
combined with our strong brand recognition in the industry, positions us as a preferred partner for
prune suppliers. These suppliers are thus willin g to offer us superior quality prunes at more
competitive prices due to the reliability of our purc hasing agreements and the prestige associated
with our brand.

We procure sugar and salt from major domestic suppliers based on the market price, effectively
mitigating supply shortage risks. Our procureme nt team adopts a dynamic approach, formulating
and adjusting annual procurement plans based on thorough assessments of our production schedules
and supply lists. This allows us to align our ra w material needs with production demands.
Additionally, our strong partnerships with reputab le suppliers enable us to secure favorable terms,
including pre-negotiated price ranges, which shie ld us from short-term price fluctuations in the raw
materials market. We typically enter into a shor t-term purchase agreements with our auxiliary
material suppliers, which generally have a term of two or three months. Under our procurement
agreements, our suppliers are typically responsi ble for delivering the materials to the location
designated by us, using the delivery methods meeting the specified requirements in the agreement.
We also specify the product quality for any auxilia ry materials and hold suppliers liable for any
product liability claims attributable to auxiliary materials’ quality issues.
To uphold the quality of these auxiliary inputs , we implement rigorous supplier selection and
evaluation protocols, ensuring that only those meeting our stringent standards for quality and
reliability are approved. Comprehensive and regular quality inspections are conducted to verify that
the sugar and salt sourced meet our precise producti on requirements, safeguarding the integrity of
our finished products. We establish long-term agreements with key suppliers, further enhancing our
ability to maintain stable procurement costs and high-quality standards.
Packaging Materials
Our packaging materials primarily include p ackaging bags and thin packaging films. We
procure these materials primarily from reliable third-party suppliers in China. We enter into the
procurement agreements with them, typically for a term of one year, and our packaging material
suppliers provide packaging materials based on our specified packaging designs. These agreements
outline price terms and purchase volumes, and we p lace orders based on our production needs. Our
procurement team has implemented a stringent sel ection mechanism sorting out qualified suppliers,
ensuring that our packaging materials comply with relevant laws and regulations relating to the food
safety and product quality, as well as our own standards set by our production team. In the event of
significant price fluctuations in these packaging materials, we would promptly look for alternative
suppliers, ensuring a stable supply of qualified r aw materials. Our rigorous selection approach and
adaptive supply chain underpin our commitment to delivering safe, high-quality products to
consumers. During the Track Record Period, we did not experience any significant shortage of raw
materials and packaging materials supplies, and the raw materials and packaging materials provided
by our suppliers did not have any significant quality issues.
Our Major Suppliers
Our major suppliers primarily comprise raw material suppliers, production equipment
suppliers, packaging material s uppliers and manufacturing serv ice providers. During the Track
Record Period, purchase amount from our five la rgest suppliers in each year accounted for 16.9%,
14.5% and 14.7% of our total purchase amount for the respective year. During the Track Record
Period, purchase amount from our largest supplie r in each year accounted for 5.0%, 5.1% and 3.9%

shareholders (who owned or to the knowledge of Directors had owned more than 5% of our issued
share capital) had any interest in any of our five largest suppliers.
Warehousing and Logistics
During the Track Record Period and as of the Latest Practicable Date, we operated our own
warehouse to store raw materials, work-in-progress and finished products. In addition, we also
leased a third-party warehouse to store finished products in preparation for peak seasons. During
the same period, the majority of our product transportation was provided by independent
third-party logistics service providers. We typi cally enter into service agreements with logistics
service providers with competent qualification, service ability and competitive price. Under our
standard agreements with our log istics service providers, we require them to promptly deliver our
products to designated customers. The risks relating to the transportation and delivery of our
products are transferred to the logistics service providers once they confirm receipt of the products
to be delivered.
Inventory Management
Our inventory turnover days were 181.7 days , 167.7 days and 198.2 days in 2023, 2024 and
2025, respectively. We regularly conduct on-site inspection distributors’ inventory level, enabling us
to monitor real-time inventory levels, facilitating o ur production planning and effectively mitigating
risks of overstocking or shortages. In addition, we dispatch designated personnel to conduct random
on-site inventory audits at distributor locations . These in-person inspections serve to verify the
authenticity of reported inventory levels while providing valuable insights into market sales trends
and inventory turnover efficiency.
FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY CONTROL
Food safety and product qualit y is our top priority. Building on the requirements of ISO 22000
and HACCP, we identify and evaluate food safety risks in each stage of production. We establish
critical control points, develop corresponding control measures and monitoring procedures, and
have achieved the globally recognized FSSC 22000 certification in October 2024 to standardize food
safety management across our supply chain. We h ave established a dedicated quality assurance
center with specialized teams for quality plannin g, quality engineering and supplier management.
The testing center has received CMA and CNAS certi fications and produces authoritative testing
reports that facilitate continuou s improvement in our quality management practices. During the
T r a c kR e c o r dP e r i o d ,w ed i dn o te x p e r i e n c ea n ymaterial incidents of food safety and product

Production Process Quality Control
We strictly adhere to GMP and SSOP standard s in our production facilities, following
standardized production processes and operating procedures. To prevent cross-contamination, we
closely regulate temperature, humidity and cl eanliness in our worksh ops. Guided by the HACCP
system, we identify critical control points such as sterilization temperature and metal detection,
record real-time data, and use automated alarms as necessary. We also employ intelligent production
equipment, including intelligent vision sorting machines, combination dynamic scales and fully
automated filling lines, to enhance product quality. To ensure compliance wit h relevant regulations
and our internal standards, we establish multipl e checkpoints throughout the production process
and conduct both regular and random hygiene inspections focused on critical factors such as
temperature, pressure and timing. Any non-confo rming products are immediately discarded, and
each incident is recorded for root-cause analysis and ongoing improvements to our quality control.
In addition to these technical procedures, we emphasize the importance of our employees in
maintaining a safe and consisten t production process. Employees a re required to maintain proper
personal hygiene, pass health examinations befo re employment, and follow strict sanitation and
dress code protocols. We also provide regular train ing on topics including quality control and food
safety to reinforce professional knowl edge and foster increased awareness.
Product Returns and Product Recalls
In accordance with our non-conforming product control procedure and product recall control
procedure, we regularly inspect products and manage any non-conforming items through testing and
disposal. If unsafe or potentially unsafe products are found to have been delivered to customers, the
relevant department will formulate a product recall plan promptly to recall the products and
categorize them based on the level of hazard. For emergency incidents, we have established reporting
and handling procedures, and we provide at leas t one food safety-related training annually to
relevant employees. During the Tr ack Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we did
not have any product recalls.
COMPETITION
According to Frost & Sullivan, the snack food industry in China is highly competitive. Several
segments within the snack food industry present g reat market opportunitie s. According to Frost &
Sullivan, the market size of the fruit snack indust ry in China by retail sales value increased from
RMB37.8 billion in 2020 to RMB52.0 billion in 2024 a t a CAGR of 8.3%, and is expected to further
reach RMB78.0 billion in 2029, with a CAGR of 8.6%. On the other hand, sour-flavored products,
particularly plum-based products, have been grow ing rapidly, primarily due to the evolving market
demand for products made with natural ingredie nts. We believe our brand recognition, product
development ability, sales chann el management ability and product ion and quality control ability
enable us to compete effectively against our comp etitors. According to Frost & Sullivan, in 2024 we
ranked first in China’s fruit snacks industry, with a market share of 4.9%. See ‘‘Industry Overview.’’
SEASONALITY
The supply and demand for our products is subject to seasonal variations during harvest
periods of key raw materials, holidays and majo r shopping events. Our primary raw materials,
including plums, prunes and other fruits, are highl y seasonal in nature. During the harvest season for
plums, typically from late spring to early summer, we procure a substantial quantity of plums
sufficient for our annual production. In addition to the seasonal procurement, we experience
pronounced sales peaks during major holiday seasons and shopping events, such as Chinese New
Year, the 618 Shopping Festival and Double Eleven. These events lead to a surge in consumer
demand for our products, necessitating increased p roduction and the stockpiling of work-in-progress

make adequate contributions and failed to make contributions to the social insurance and housing
provident funds with respect to certain of our employees as required by the relevant PRC laws and
regulations, see ‘‘— Licenses, Approvals and Permits — Non-compliance — Inadequate and
Third-Party Payment for Social Insurance and Housing Provident Funds.’’
INSURANCE
Our primary insurance policies i nclude property insurances covering accidental loss for some of
our fixed assets and employer liability insurance . Our Directors believe that our insurance coverage
is in line with industry practice and standar d business practices of relevant countries.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE
ESG Governance
We have established a three-tier environmen tal, social and governance (ESG) governance
structure, comprising of the Board, an ESG workin g group and an implementation level. The Board
holds ultimate responsibility for the ESG strategy and reporting. It monitors and approves our ESG
and climate-related management polic ies, strategies, targets and annual work, and regularly reviews
and monitors performance and p rogress towards our ESG targets. The Board also conducts an
annual review of our ESG policies to ensure their effectiveness and to foster a culture aligned with
our core ESG values. The Directors regularly attend ESG training to enhance their knowledge of
ESG governance. Our ESG working group, consisting of the chairman of the Board and senior
management and with a solid understanding of current ESG issues and our business, will report
directly to the Board on ESG matters. Key respo nsibilities of our ESG working group primarily
include: (i) regularly assess ESG risks in accordan ce with applicable laws, regulations and policies,
and implement mitigating measures t o ensure our ESG responsibilities a re fulfilled; (ii) monitor local
environmental, social and climate changes in the re gions where we operate and take timely measures
to mitigate risks during our daily business oper ations; (iii) collect, understand and respond to
stakeholders’ opinions on significant ESG matters th rough appropriate channels; and (iv) routinely
prepare ESG reports, report to th e Board on our ESG performance and the effectiveness of our ESG
policies, and provide recommendat ions to the Board on ESG matters.
Materiality Assessment
A materiality assessment has been conducted to gain a deeper understanding of our
stakeholders’ needs and expectations. We have engaged an independent ESG consultant to assist
in conducting a materiality assessment in accord ance with Appendix C2 of the Main Board Listing
BUSINESS
–1 2 9–


--- page 139 ---
Rules of the Stock Exchange. This involves a questionnaire to gather stakeholders’ concerns and
expectations, which helped us determine mater ial issues. The materiality assessment process
primarily include: (i) identify potential material ESG issues that may impact o ur business or related
parties based on our development; (ii) invite st akeholders (Directors, senior management,
employees, suppliers and partners) to participate in the questionnaire to express their concerns on
each potential material issue; (iii) analyze the results from the questi onnaire and prioritize potential
material issues; and (iv) review and confirm the material issues by the management for further
actions and disclosures.
Based on the results of our materiality assessme nt, the following topics have been identified as
highly material: product quality and safety, product health and nutrition, anti-corruption, business
ethics, waste management, compliance operations, occupational health and safety, employee rights,
and intellectual property protection. We remain committed to upholding the highest standards in
these areas by strictly complying with all applicable laws and regulations, maintaining robust quality
and food safety management systems to deliver safe, reliable and high-quality products, using
natural ingredients to offer healt hier and functional options, imple menting effective anti-corruption
and business ethics framework s, responsibly managing waste to minimize environmental impact,
ensuring occupational health and safety, providing competitive remuneration, benefits and training
to support talent retention and development, and pr oactively safeguarding our intellectual property
rights.
Environmental and Social Issues
Energy and Emission Management
We formulated the energy conservation and re sources management guidelines. The energy
sources consumed by us primarily include electricity, light diesel and natural gas. We have
implemented measures to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,
including: (i) set and manage the temperature and operating time of air conditioners, and control
and maintain their operational status; (ii) manage the lighting schedules in each department to avoid
unnecessary long-term lighting; (iii) record and co llect data on the consumption of electricity, fuel
and gas; (iv) ensure that all energy and resources suppliers have appropriate qualifications in line
with our related-party environmental aspects ma nagement procedure; and (v) evaluate the energy
consumption performance and environmental requirements of new equipment during the
procurement process.
Water Management
We implement measures to conserve water, enha nce water efficiency and manage the treatment
and discharge of sewage, including: (i) regularly c heck the operating status of the water pipelines and
promptly repair any leaks; (ii) regularly insp ect water supply systems and equipment such as
submersible pumps and fans at sewage treatment s tations to ensure their normal operation; (iii)
reasonably limit the discharge volume of circulating w ater to control water consumption; (iv) strictly
prohibit the disposal of oil products, chemical waste liquids, residua l oil, leftover food and
phosphorus-containing detergents into the pipe network; and (v) conduct external monitoring of
wastewater discharge and implement corrective and preventive measures in the event of any
abnormalities.
Waste Management
We are committed to minimizing waste generati on and enhancing disposal and recycling
practices across our offices and factories in accordance with our solid and hazardous waste
management guidelines. We strive to reduce pollu tion and promote responsible and sustainable
consumption by strictly complying with applicable laws and regulations, adopting the principles of
reduce, detoxify and utilize for solid waste, correct ly classifying and storing all waste types in line
with the National Hazardous Waste List and our int ernal classification ta ble, maintaining clear

signage and secure leak-proof containers with prompt spill response, conducting regular cleaning
and scheduled collections, and engaging qualified p rofessional units for the safe transshipment and
recycling of hazardous waste.
Use of Sustainable Packaging Materials
We attach great importance to packaging development and management and are committed to
promoting sustainable packaging through lightwe ighting and enhanced recyclability. We optimize
packaging structures from the design stage by adopting advanced materials, such as high-stiffness PE
to reduce thickness and VMCPP to decrease film laye rs, thereby lowering pla stic consumption, while
strengthening the compressive resistance of pape r barrels to reduce paper and carton usage. Over
80% of our inner soft packaging (by SKU) and all hard plastic packaging and shipping cartons
utilize recyclable materials, primarily PP and PE pla stics. We have established a target to reduce the
intensity of non-recyclable materials by 5% within ten years, with 2024 as the base year.

Wuhu City and were in the progress of obta ining relevant title certificates.
We did not obtain the relevant title certificate s for certain of our owned properties in Fujian. In
addition, we commenced the production at our plum processing facility for sun-drying and pickling
in Guangxi without completing the filing o f the inspection and acceptance check ( 竣工驗收備案)w i t h
relevant authorities. In Fujian, we began utilizing a b uilding for employee dormitory and cafeteria
purposes prior to completing the filing of final inspection and acceptance check with relevant
authorities. As of the Latest Practicable Date , we had completed the acceptance check and had

Non-compliance
Incomplete Acceptance Check for the Plu m Processing Facility in Daxin, Guangxi
We commenced the production at our plum proces sing facility in Guangxi without completing
the filing of the inspection and acceptance check ( 竣工驗收備案) and other required procedures with
relevant authorities because we are still in the proc ess of constructing other ancillary facilities on the
same site. The plum processing facility in Guan gxi is involved in the construction of multiple
facilities in different phases, and our original plan w as to construct ancillary facilities for fire safety
and complete the acceptance check once all facilitie s were constructed. After constructing certain
production facilities, we commenced production in response to the rising consumer demand. This
production arrangement addressed the immediate mar ket needs and alleviated production shortages.
The remaining ancillary facilities were scheduled to be constructed in accordance with our overall
construction plan. During the COVID-19 pandemic , recurring outbreaks and heightened investment
risks prompted us to revisit our remaining ancillary facilities’ construction plans. As a result, the
construction of several ancillary facilities in Guangxi , including the planned fi re safety infrastructure
at our plum processing facility, was deferred. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had completed
the construction of the fire safety infrastructu re and we were in acceptance check process. We have
completed the construction of ancillary facilit ies. This facility was estimated to account for
approximately 4% of our total owned properties as of the Latest Practicable Date. According to
Regulations on the Administration o f Quality of Construction Works ( 《建設工程質量管理條例》),
for construction projects that have not completed a cceptance check and are delivered for use without
authorization, the relevant competent authorities shall order rectification and impose a fine of not
less than 2% and not more than 4% of the contract p rice of the project. The maximum fine that can
be imposed upon us due to our operations without the acceptance check is RMB651,100. We put this
facility into operation, which is mainly used for th e certain steps of the preliminary processing of our
dried plum snacks, including pickling and sun-dr ying. We then transfer these work-in-progress to
our production plants for producing the finished goods. We have conducted interviews with relevant
competent authorities, which confirmed that they will not order us to suspend our current operations
and production on the facility, and will not impos e administrative penalties on us for the failure to
complete the acceptance check and other required procedures. The relevant competent authorities
further confirmed in the interview that there i s no material impediment for us to complete the
acceptance check and other required procedures to obtain the title certificate once we finish the
construction of the ancillary facilities on the sa me site, as we had obtained all the other required
approvals.
According to the Certificate issued by the relevant competent authority, this plum processing
facility is a project formally accepted by our Bureau for filing and supervision. Since the
commencement of its construction, there has b een no administrative penalty imposed for any
violation of housing construction or building e ngineering management laws, regulations, or
normative documents, and no quality or safety accidents have occurred. Furthermore, the Certificate
confirms that we do not have any potential or ongoing disputes, controversies, or lawsuits with
Bureau concerning ho using construction or building enginee ring of this facility, nor are there any
records of complaints or any other forms of claims regarding this facility.
In addition, in October 2025, we engaged Guangxi Jingtai Engineering Co. Ltd., a professional
firm specializing in fire safety system design, in stallation, consulting and the maintenance and
inspection of fire safety equipment, to conduct an i ndependent review of our plum processing facility
in Guangxi (the ‘‘ Fire Safety Consultant ’’). This review included comprehensive on-site inspections,
testing and evaluation of key fire safety aspects. The Fire Safety Consultant is of the view that (i) all
major fire protection systems were fully compliant wi th all relevant national and local standards and
regulations; (ii) no non-conformities were identif ied in any of the systems inspected; (iii) all tested
equipment and installations met the required techni cal and operational standards; (iv) the facility’s
fire safety provisions are appropriate for its intended use and occupancy; and (v) the fire safety
systems are properly installed, cl early marked and well maintained.

Based on the foregoing, our PRC Legal Advisor believes that the risk of us being ordered to
cease the operations and production at the proce ssing facility or being imposed of administrative
penalties is low. In addition, du e to the abundance of similar facilities in our operating region, we
can readily identify and relocate to alternative preliminary processing facilities. As a result, we do
not expect that our business, financial position or results of operations will be subject to material
adverse impact due to the relocation.
Moreover, according to our PRC Legal Adviso r, our plum processing facility in Guangxi is
categorized as a general fire safety grade building that only needs to meet basic fire safety
requirements. Additionally, since this facility primarily engages in water-based processing and
contains no flammable or combustible materials, th e risk of fire hazards is significantly minimized.
As a result, the overall fire safety risk of the f acility remains low and satisfies the applicable
regulatory requirements.
Incomplete Acceptance Check for Environmental Pr otection Facilities for the Plum Processing Facility
in Guangxi
As of the Latest Practicable Date, we are prepar ing the application for the acceptance check of
the Completed Environmental Protection Facilitie s for the same plum processi ng facility in Guangxi.
Prior to passing the environmental protection acceptance, we ensure that production emissions
comply with all applicable laws and regulations. According to Article 23 of the Regulations on
Environmental Protection of Construction Projects (‘‘ 建設項目環境保護管理條例’’), where a
construction project is put into production or use without constructing required environmental
protection facilities, co mpleting the environmental protect ion acceptance check, or failing the
acceptance check, the environmental protection administrative department at the county level or
above shall order the entity who owns the project t o rectify within a specified time period and impose
fines ranging from RMB200,000 to RMB1,000,000. If the entity fails to rectify within the given time
frame, fines ranging from RMB1,000,000 to RMB2,000,000 shall be imposed, and fines ranging
RMB50,000 to RMB200,000 shall be levied on the person in charge and other responsible
individuals. The maximum fine that can be impos ed on us is RMB1,000,000. In cases of severe
environmental pollution, the entity may be order ed to cease production or use of the project, or,
upon approval from the relevant government aut hority, be ordered to shut down the project.
Based on the Environmental Impact Assessment (‘‘ EIA’’) approval issued by the Daxin County
Ecology and Environmental Bureau, our Guangxi production facility must process wastewater at
our on-site facility before discharging it to the Taocheng Town Industrial Park’s (‘‘ Industrial Park ’’)
sewer network and wastewater processing plant. Si nce the Industrial Park’s wastewater processing
facilities are not yet operational, and our current production processes do not involve massive
wastewater discharge, the Bureau approved our phased environmental protection measures in
December 2024. Under our phased environmental p rotection measures, ou r facility is allowed to
temporarily store wastewater on-site, and we imp lemented certain environmental protection
measures such as optimizing production methods and reducing wastewater generation until the
Industrial Park’s plant becomes o perational, thereby ensuring our compliance with the relevant
requirements by the governmental authority. Once t he Industrial Park’s plant begins operations, we
will complete our wastewater processing facilit ies and obtain the environmental protection
acceptance check. Additionally, we agree to upgr ade our wastewater processing facilities to meet
the heightened wastewater discharge requir ements if we expand the production at our plum
processing facility in Guangxi.
BUSINESS

--- page 146 ---
According to our PRC Legal Advisor, since we implemented the agreed phased environmental
protection measures and complied with the wastewater disposal requirements by the governmental
authority, we are allowed to continue our operat ional activities at the production facility in
Guangxi, and the risk of us being subject to any m aterial administrative penalties by relevant
governmental authorities before completing the acceptance check is low. In addition, we are in the
process of constructing the required wastewater processing facilities. We ensure that our current
production processes and wastewater discharge fully comply with all environmental protection
requirements of the relevant governmental authorities. As our production expands, we plan to
promptly construct any necessary environmenta l protection facilities, obtain the required
environmental approvals and comply with the regu latory requirements in all respects. According
to our PRC Legal Advisor, upon the construction completion of our required environmental
protection facilities and the construction comple tion of the Industrial Park’s wastewater processing
plant, there is no material legal impediment for us to complete the required acceptance check, as we
had obtained all the other required approvals. Addi tionally, we may readily find alternative sites for
the preliminary processing, we do n ot expect that our business, fi nancial position or results of
operations will be subject to material adverse impact due to the relocation.
Incomplete Acceptance Check for Employee Dormitory in Fujian
In Fujian, we began utilizing a building for employ ee dormitory and cafeteria purposes prior to
completing the filing of the inspect ion and acceptance check with rele vant authorities. This building
is being used in a limited capacity before we complete construction of other ancillary facilities for
fire safety on the same site. According to the Re gulations on the Administration of Quality of
Construction Work, the relevant competent authorities may order us to rectify and impose fines on
us. The maximum fine that can be imposed on us is RMB204,000. According to our PRC Legal
Advisor, we were not imposed any penalties by the authorities.
The building has undergone routine fire safety inspections and shows no hidden fire safety
hazards. According to our fire safe ty consultant, it meets the relevant fire safety standards, and its
ancillary fire safety facility serves merely as a co ntingency measure in case of disruptions to the
municipal water supply that feeds the on-site fire h ydrants. Consequently, t he building’s overall fire
safety risk is low, and its existing infrastructu re is deemed sufficient to ensure firefighting
capabilities in the event of an emergency. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we had completed the
construction of these ancillary facilities on the s ame site and had received the acceptance check for
these facilities. As of the same date, we had obtained the title certificate of the said facilities. As
advised by our PRC Legal Advisor, the said facilit ies are in compliance with the relevant laws and
regulations.

was on the urban-rural transition zone. We acquir ed the land use rights for these two parcels of land
in 2009 and 2017, and the properties on them were co nstructed prior to our acquisition of the land
use rights. These properties were primarily used as a sun-drying facility. The floor area of these
properties accounted for approximately 3% of our total owned properties as of the Latest
Practicable Date. The sun-drying facility account s for 6.9% of our total sun-drying space as of the
Latest Practicable Date. We acquired the land with s uch buildings that lacked the title certificates at
the time, and these properties constructed prior t o the enactment of the Urban and Rural Planning
Law ( 城鄉規劃法), when the regulatory procedures for self-build properties were not yet fully
established. As such, these properties were built without proper planning approval documents, and
we inherited these title defects in our capacity a s a subsequent purchaser. We are unable to obtain
the relevant title certificates for these properti es as the regulatory environment had substantially
changed, and we are unable to retrospectively compl ete the required procedures and secure valid title
certificates. As advised by the PRC Legal Advisor, the relevant competent authorities may order the
construction entity to demolish the buildings or stru ctures, and confiscate the buildings or structures
BUSINESS
–1 3 7–


--- page 147 ---
or any income illegally earned from such buildings or structures; and/or impose a fine of not more
than 10% of the construction cost. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable
Date, the relevant competent authorities neither required us to demolish our properties, nor ordered
us to suspend our operations, nor imposed any fines on us. According to our PRC Legal Advisor,
government authorities inspected our daily opera tions from time to time, including fire safety and
environmental protection measu res, and, based on the Certificat e for No Illegal and Irregular
Conduct ( 無違法違規證明) issued by the relevant competent authority, we did not receive any
penalties and meet the relevant fire safety standards during the Track Record Period. Considering
that (i) the area of these propert ies represented an insignifican t portion of the total area of our
properties as of the Latest Practicable Date; and ( ii) we may readily find alternative properties for
sun-drying if necessary, and we estimate that fully outsourcing the sun-drying process would cost
approximately RMB350,000 annually, based on our c urrent lease with a third-party sun-drying
facility, the Directors are of the view that even if demolition were ordered, it would not have a
material adverse impact on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
Title Defects and Inconsistent Usage of Leased Properties
Pursuant to the applicable laws and regulations in China, property lease agreements for leased
buildings must be registered with the relevant real e state administration bureaus in China. As of the
Latest Practicable Date, we had not registered the l ease agreements for nine of our leased properties
with the relevant competent authorities in accordan ce with applicable laws and regulations in China.
Our PRC Legal Advisor advised us that the lack of registration does not affect the validity and
enforceability of the lease agreements, but we may be subject to fines from RMB1,000 to RMB10,000
for each such lease agreement for failure to register.
As of the Latest Practicable Date, lessors of five out of our 20 leased properties with an
aggregate gross floor area of 1,296.45 sq.m. failed to provide us their property ownership certificates
or proof of authorizations from the property owners. Additionally, as of the same date, the actual
use of two out of our 20 leased properties with an aggregate gross floor area of 140.76 sq.m. did not
fit into the prescribed scope of usage shown on the rel evant certificates. We currently use these leased
properties as the office premises while their permi tted usage under the relevant title certificates is
residential purposes. As advised by our PRC Le gal Advisor, for the leased properties that were
subject to title defects or with inconsistent usage , the property owners and the relevant lessors shall
take the responsibility to obtain valid title certifi cates and ensure the actual usage complies with the
prescribed usage of the properties. As the tenants, we would not be subject to any administrative
penalties pursuant to the relevant laws and regulati ons. However, if any of these leases is terminated
as a result of challenges by third parties, we may not be able to continue to use the properties.
Nevertheless, considering these properties’ use s, we believe there is a sufficient supply of similar
properties and do not expect any material adve rse effect on our business due to these potential
terminations and the potential costs of relocati on would not have a material adverse effect on our
daily operation.
Inadequate and Third-party Payment for Social Insurance and Housing Provident Funds
During the Track Record Period, we did not make adequate contributions and failed to make
any contributions to the social insurance and housing provident funds with respect to certain of our
employees as required by the relevant PRC laws and regulations, primarily because (i) certain
employees whose social security accounts had not been suspended or closed by their previous
employer; (ii) certain employees prefer to participa te in the rural social security contribution plans in
their resident places or their ho metowns; (iii) certain employees have already participated in the
social security programs in other cities and (iv) certain employees were unwilling to pay the social
insurance and housing provident funds in full as it requires additional contributions from our
employees. The shortfall of social insurance and housing provident fund contributions amounted to
approximately RMB5.0 million, RMB5.2 million and RMB4.9 millio n in 2023, 2024 and 2025,
respectively. In addition, during the Track Reco rd Period, we engaged third-party agencies to pay
social insurance and housing provident funds for certain employees because (i) these employees
BUSINESS
–1 3 8–


--- page 148 ---
voluntarily requested us to pay their social insurance and housing provident funds at different
locations and (ii) we have not established subsidi aries or branches at certain cities where we have
employees. The social insurance and housing provident contributions made by the third-party
human resource agency amounted to RMB1.4 m illion, RMB1.5 million and RMB1.2 million in 2023,
2024 and 2025, respectively, and the shortfall of such contributions in the respective year amounting
to RMB83.6 thousand, RMB81.8 thousand and RMB127 thousand.
As advised by our PRC Legal Advisor, pursuant t o applicable PRC laws and regulations, if an
employer fails to make social insurance contribution s in full, the relevant authorities could order the
employer to pay, within a prescribed time limit, t he outstanding amount with an additional late
payment penalty at the daily rate of 0.05%, a nd if the employer fails to make the overdue
contributions within such time limit, a fine equal t o one to three times the outstanding amount may
be imposed. Additionally, pursuant to applicable PR C laws and regulations, if the employer fails to
register and establish an account for housing provident fund contributions, the authority could order
the employer to correct it within a prescribed t ime limit, where failure to do so at the expiration of
the time limit shall result in a fine of not less than RMB10,000 nor more than RMB50,000 being
imposed. Where an employer is overdue in the payment and deposit of, or underpays, the housing
provident fund, the authority could order it to make the payment and deposit within a prescribed
time limit, and where the payment and deposit has not been made after the expiration of the time
limit, an application may be made to a court in Chin a for compulsory enforcement. In addition,
pursuant to the Supreme People’s Court’s Interpre tation (II) on Issues Concerning the Application
of Law in the Trial of Labor Dispute Cases ( 最高人民法院關於審理勞動爭議案件適用法律問題的解
釋（二)), we may face the risk of employees seeking ter mination of the labor contract and claiming
economic compensation. See ‘‘Regulatory Over view — Regulation Relating to Labor and Social
Security.’’
Our Directors believe that the incident descr ibed above would not have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, considering that during the
Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicab le Date, (i) based on the interview with relevant
government authorities, in practice they typica lly do not proactively pursue the collection from or
impose administrative penalties on companies, and they generally will initiate investigations if they
receive complaints from employees; (ii) based on the Certificate for No Illegal and Irregular Conduct
(無違法違規證明) and the confirmation issued by the relevan t competent authorities, and as advised
by our PRC Legal Advisor, we did not receive any notification from the r elevant authorities
requiring us to pay for the shortfalls with respect to social insurance and housing provident funds,
nor did we receive any administrative penalties fr om relevant competent authorities; (iii) we have
confirmed that no material administrative penal ty was imposed on us with respect to the payment of
social insurance and housing provident funds as of t he Latest Practicable Date. We undertake that if
we receive a notice from relevant authorities requiring us to rectify, pay or make up social insurance
and housing provident funds within a specified period, we will promptly comply with the
requirements of such notice.
In addition, our Directors are of the view, and our PRC Legal Advisor concurs, that the New
Judicial Interpretation will not have a material ad verse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations, taking into account that : (i) the implementation of the New Judicial
Interpretation will not affect our c ompliance status; (ii) the New Ju dicial Interpretation does not
create any new basis for reassessing contribution sh ortfalls or exposing us to increased penalties; (iii)
no employee has brought a lawsuit or arbitration in respect of payment of social insurance; and (iv)
any shortfall in social insurance or housing provident fund contributions has been accounted for in
our shortfall calculations.
Furthermore, those employees, for whom we engaged third-party agencies to pay social
insurance and housing provident fund contributio ns, have provided written confirmations stating
that they had authorized us to engage a third-party agency to pay their salaries and individual
income tax, and that we had fulfilled the obligation t o make social insurance and housing provident
fund contributions on their behalf.
BUSINESS
–1 3 9–


--- page 149 ---
Based on the foregoing, our PRC Legal Advisor is of the view that the likelihood that we would
be required by relevant authorities to pay the shortfall for social insurance and housing provident
fund contributions or being subject to administr ative penalties due to our failure to make any
payment, make full payment or engage a third-party agency to pay social insurance and housing
provident fund contributions within the stipulate d period for our employees is relatively remote. As
a result, we had not made any provision for the shortfall in our social insurance and housing
provident fund contributions during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date.
During the Track Record Period and up to the Late st Practicable Date, save as disclosed in this
prospectus, we had not been and were not involved in any material non-compliance incident in
relation to social insurance and housing provident funds that have led to fines, enforcement actions
or other penalties that could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Rectification and Internal Co ntrol Measure Enhancements
We intend to make social insurance and housing provident fund contributions in accordance
with the applicable laws and regulations progress ively going forward. Further, we expect to fully
rectify and make full payment of any outstanding a mount within five years after the Listing, or if
requested by the relevant authorities. To further ensure compliance of our social insurance and
housing provident contributions, we have impleme nted robust internal control measures, which
primarily include: (i) maintaining open commu nication with employees to ensure that social
insurance and housing provident fund contributions are made in accordance with the legal
requirements; (ii) establishing a dedicated inte rnal control team responsible for continuously
monitoring compliance with social insurance and housing provident fund requirements and for
implementing any necessary corrective or improveme nt measures; (iii) regularly monitoring updates
to PRC laws and regulations relating to social insurance and housing provident funds and promptly
adjusting our policies to ensure ongoing complianc e; and (iv) establishing online and offline systems
to allow employees to review their individual con tribution records and an offline channel to report
any discrepancies. All inquiries are reviewed, ver ified, and addressed within three business days.
In addition, we have engaged an independent internal control consultant (the ‘‘ IC Consultant ’’)
to review the overall adequacy of our risk management and internal control systems across major
business operations of our Group and the other relevant procedures, systems and controls, including
accounting and management systems, that we have established. Based on (i) the agreed review scope
and work procedures, (ii) rectification of all iden tified deficiencies, and (iii) the IC Consultant’s
follow-up review of our enhanced risk management and internal control systems, no material
deficiencies were identified in the follow-up review.
Our Directors are of the view that our internal controls are adequate to ensure that all future
owned properties will secure the requisite acceptance checks and complete the construction of
necessary fire safety and environmental protection facilities. In particular, we have completed the
construction of ancillary facilities for fire safe ty required for acceptance checks of No. 17 plant
building at Guangxi Liuliu and such acceptance ch ecks were in process. We had not received any
administrative penalties for failing to complete s uch processes during the Track Record Period and
up to the Latest Practicable Date. Additionally, w e actively monitors regulatory requirements for
existing properties and any properties that it plans to construct in the future, ensuring that all
necessary approvals and acceptance checks are obtained before such properties are put into use. On
the basis that (i) we had established a well-define ds y s t e mt ot r a c ka n du p d a t er e l e v a n tr e g u l a t i o n s
on a continuous basis; (ii) we promptly rectifie d any issues identified in the acceptance check
process; and (iii) we maintain an in ternal approval procedure under which construction plans are
reviewed by relevant departments to ensure ful l compliance, our Directors believe that these
measures are sufficient to prevent similar non-com pliances in the future. Th e Joint Sponsors concur
the Directors’ view that such internal controls are adequate to ensure the our future compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.
BUSINESS
–1 4 0–


--- page 150 ---
Furthermore, our Directors consider that the Company’s internal controls are adequate to
address any potential shortfall in social insurance and housing provident fund contributions.
According to our PRC Legal Advisor, as confirme d by the relevant authorities, it is unlikely
that we would be required to make a collective payment for any historical shortfall, and we have not
received any notice or demand to do so. On the bas is that (i) we closely review applicable PRC
regulations on a regular basis; and (ii) we communi cate with our employees to ensure their awareness
of relevant laws and regulations, our Directors be lieve that the Company adheres to all relevant laws
and regulations in a material respect. The Joint S ponsors concur with our Directors’ view that the
measures currently in place are adequate in this regard.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND COMPLIANCE
Our Directors, as advised by our PRC Legal Ad visor, confirm that during the Track Record
Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had not been and were not a party to any material
legal, arbitral, administrative proceedings or nonc ompliance incidents that led to fines, enforcement
actions or other penalties, which could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our Directors are of the view
that, we had complied, in all material respects, wi th all relevant laws and regulations in the PRC
during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date.
RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL

of our business operations and financial reporting. Our Board of Directors is responsible for the

subsidiary and functional department.
Legal and Compliance Risk Management
We provide anti-corruption and anti-bribery compliance training periodically to our senior
management and employees to enhance their know ledge and compliance wit h applicable laws and
regulations and include relevant policies against noncompliance in employee handbooks. We require
our suppliers and distributors to commit in wri tten agreement to abstain from noncompliance,
suspicious transactions, fraud , corruption, or bribery, which e xpressly forbids our suppliers,
distributors, and employees from making unauthorized payments, including bribes, kickbacks, or
any other illicit benefits, to one anot her. In addition, we adopt various policies to ensure compliance
with the Listing Rules, including but not limited to aspects related to risk management, connected
transactions and information disclosure.
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption
We strictly adhere to relevant anti-bribery an d anti-corruption laws and regulations and have
established the Anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and economic sanctions regime ( 反腐敗、反
洗錢及經濟制裁制度). It outlines measures for identifying and reporting suspicious activities,
managing customer risks, and maintaining a trans parent and compliant business environment. We
have established a comprehensive framework that encompasses several key areas. Annual training
programs are designed to enhance awareness and oper ational skills, ensuring that all employees are
well-informed and capable of identify ing and preventing illicit activities.

approach to achieve and maintain diversity on th e Board in compliance with the Listing Rules,

independent non-executive Directors from differe nt industry backgrounds, including accounting,
computer science and engineering and fermentation engineering. With regards to gender diversity on

salaries paid by comparable companies, time commit ment, level of responsibilities and desirability of
performance-based remuneration. As required by PRC laws and regulations, we also make
contributions for social insurance for our employee s, including medical insu rance, injury insurance,
unemployment insurance, pension insurance, ma ternity insurance, and housing provident fund.

OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS
Immediately following the completion of the Global Offering (assuming the Over-allotment
Option is not exercised), Mr. Yang, Ms. Li (who is M r. Yang’s spouse), Juru n Investment, Kaixuan
Star and Kailai Star will directly own approximately 32.44%, 3.73%, 31.21%, 4.57% and 3.05% of
the total issued share capital of our Company. As of the Latest Practicable Date, (i) Jurun
Investment was owned as to 90% by Mr. Yang and 10% by Ms. Li; (ii) Kaixuan Star was owned as
to approximately 1.39% by Mr. Yang and approximately 5.56% by Ms. Li, and Mr. Yang was the
general partner of Kaixuan Star; and (iii) Kaila i Star was held as to approximately 1.00% by Mr.
Yang as general partner, approximately 41.67% by Liuliu Star and approximately 12.50% by Liuliu
LIUM. Liuliu Star was held as to approximately 14.90% by Mr. Yang as general partner,
approximately 36.00% by Liuliu Orchard and appr oximately 15.00% by Liuliu Ren. Mr. Yang, as
general partner, held approximately 24.67% o f Liuliu LIUM, 23.33% of Liuliu Orchard, and
12.67% of Liuliu Ren. Accordingly, Mr. Yang, Ms. L i, Jurun Investment, Ka ixuan Star, Kailai Star
and Liuliu Star are a group of Controlling Sha reholders upon the Listing. See ‘‘History,
Development and Corporate Structure’’ and ‘‘Substantial Shareholders’’.
BIOGRAPHIES OF MR. YANG AND MS. LI
For biography of Mr. Yang, see ‘‘Directors, Su pervisors and Senior Management — Board of
Directors — Executive Directors’’.
Ms. Li, the spouse of Mr. Yang, has been active ly involved in the gen eral management and
financial affairs of the Company since its estab lishment in 2009. She previously served as the
manager of Anhui Liuliumei. In July 2014, she obtained a diploma in accounting from Anhui
Normal University* ( 安徽師範大學), and in May 2017, she was awarded a Board Secretary
Qualification Certificate by the Shanghai Stock Ex change. In preparation for the Listing, the Board
resolved to reconstitute its composition wi th a view to enhancing corporate governance,
strengthening the Board’s collective skill set a nd diversity of backgrounds and experience, and
supporting the Company’s strategic development in its next phase of growth. Accordingly, as agreed
among the Shareholders, Ms. Li resigned from her position as a director of the Company on January
15, 2025.
INDEPENDENCE FROM OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS
Having considered the following factors, our Directors are satisfied that we are capable of
carrying out our business indepen dently of our Controlling Shareho lders and their respective close
associates after Listing.
Management independence
Our daily operational and management decisions are made by our Board and our senior
management. Our Board consist s of nine Directors, namely five executive Directors, one
non-executive Director and three independent non-executive Directors. Mr. Yang is an executive
Director and the chairman of the Board.
Our Directors consider that we are capable of ma intaining management i ndependence for the
following reasons:
(a) each Director is aware of his/her fiduciary duties as a director which require, among other
things, that he/she acts for the benefit and in the interest of our Company and does not
allow any conflict between his/her duties as a Director and his/her personal interests;
(b) our daily management and operations are carried out independently by our executive
Directors and senior management team, all of whom have substantial experience in the
industry in which our Company is engaged, a nd will therefore be able to make business
decisions that are in the best interests of ou r Company. See ‘‘Directors, Supervisors and
Senior Management’’;
RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS
–1 5 6–


--- page 166 ---
(c) we have three independent non-executive Directors, who are not associated with our
Controlling Shareholders or any of their asso ciates and, individually or collectively,
possess the requisite knowledge and experience as independent directors of listed
companies and will be able to provide pro fessional and experienced advice to our
Company and protect the interests of our Company and our Shareholders as a whole;
(d) in the event that there is a potential conflict of interest arising out of any transaction to be
entered into between our Company and a Director and/or his/her associate, he/she shall
abstain from voting and shall not be counted towards the quorum for the voting. Hence,
no Director will be able to influence our Boar di nm a k i n gd e c i s i o n so nm a t t e r si nw h i c hh e
or she is, or may be interested; and
(e) we will establish corporate go vernance measures to manage potential conflicts of interest,
if any, between our Group and our Controllin g Shareholders, which would support our
independent management. See ‘‘— Cor porate Governance Measures’’.
Operational independence
We do not rely on our Controlling Shareholders a nd their close associates for our business
development, staffing, logistics, administration, finance, internal audit, information technology,
sales and marketing, or company secretarial funct ions. We have our own departments specializing in
these respective areas which have been in operation and are expected to continue to operate
separately and independently from our Controlling Shareholders and their close associates. We have
independent access to suppliers and customers, and we also possess all r elevant licenses, certificates,
facilities and intellectual property rights n ecessary to carry on and operate our business.
Based on the above, our Directors believe that we are able to operate independently of our
Controlling Shareholders and their close associates.
Financial independence
We have an independent financial system an d make financial decisions according to our
Group’s own business needs. We have independent internal control and accounting systems and an
independent finance department in charge of our treasury function. As of the Latest Practicable
Date, there were no outstanding loans, or advan ces and balances of a non-trade nature due to or
from our Controlling Shareholders.
Mr. Yang and his spouse, Ms. Li, being our Co ntrolling Shareholders, had been providing
guarantees (the ‘‘ CS Guarantees ’’) as security for certain of our Group’s banks loans (collectively,
the ‘‘Guaranteed Loans ’’). To the best knowledge of our Directors, it is a common market practice in
the PRC for banks to require personal guarantees from the de facto controllers of private enterprises
before extending loans or facilities. As of Apri l 30, 2026, we had a total outstanding Guaranteed
Loans with principal amount of approximate ly RMB224.0 million, which we had obtained bank
consents (‘‘Release Consents ’’) to release all the CS Guarantees and replace them with other security
or guarantee to be provided by the Group upon Listing.
We are capable of obtaining financing from Independent Third Parties without relying on any
guarantee or security provided by our Controlling S hareholders or their respective associates. From
January 1, 2026, to April 30, 2026, we secured lo ans without any guarantees from Controlling
Shareholders or their respective associates or obtained consents for release of such guarantees from
Controlling Shareholders, on compar able terms, including interest and repayment schedules, with an
aggregate outstanding principal amount of R MB61.0 million. Moreover, we have consistently
pursued alternative fundraising and received a seri es of Pre-IPO Investments, including our Series D
Pre-IPO Investments of RMB75 million.
RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS
–1 5 7–


--- page 167 ---
Following the Listing, we expect to pursue further fundraising activities in both onshore and
offshore markets to the extent as our Directors consider necessary and, depending on factors such as
market conditions, business needs, and financial position, while en suring compliance with applicable
regulatory requirements. Given our proven ab ility to secure independent financing and our
established relationships with financial insti tutions, we believe that after the Listing, we will
continue obtaining financing on terms compara ble to our existing loans without requiring
guarantees from our Controlling Share holders or their close associates.
Taking into consideration (i) the expected rele ase of all CS Guarantees upon Listing; (ii) our
Group’s demonstrated ability to obtain independe nt financing on comparable commercial terms;
and (iii) we have sufficient cash or cash equivalents as buffer relative to the unreleased portion of the
CS Guarantees (if any), our Directors are of the vi ew that we are financially independent from our
Controlling Shareholders or their close associate s. We will not rely on our Controlling Shareholders
or their close associates for financing upon Li sting and have sufficient access to independent
financing to meet our financial needs.
INTERESTS OF OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS IN OTHER BUSINESSES
Each of our Controlling Shareholders confirmed that as of the Latest Practicable Date, apart
from the business of our Company, it/he/she did not have any interest in other business, which
competes or is likely to compete, directly or indirectly, with our business, which would require
disclosure under Rule 8.10 of the Listing Rules.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MEASURES
Our Company will comply with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code in Appendix
C1 to the Listing Rules, which sets out principles of good corporate governance. Our Directors
recognize the importance of good corporate governance in protection of our Shareholders’ interests.
We would adopt the following measures to safeguard good corporate governance standards and to
avoid potential conflict of interests:
(a) where a Shareholders’ meeting is held for considering proposed transactions in which our
Controlling Shareholders have a material int erest, our Controlling Shareholders shall
abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions and shall not be counted in the quorum for
the voting;
(b) where a Board meeting is held for the matters in which a Director has a material interest,
such Director shall abstain from voting on t he relevant resolutions and shall not be
counted in the quorum for the voting;
(c) in the event that our independent non-exe cutive Directors are requested to review any
conflict of interest between our Group and our Controlling Shareholders, our Controlling
Shareholders shall provide the independent non-executive Directors with all necessary
information and our Company shall disclose the decisions of the independent
non-executive Directors either in the annual reports or by way of announcements;
(d) our Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) will seek independent
and professional opinions from external ad visors at our Company’s cost as and when
appropriate in accordance with the Corporate Governance Code and Corporate
Governance Report as set out in Appendix C1 to the Listing Rules;
(e) any transactions between our Company and its connected persons shall be in compliance
with the relevant requirements of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, including the
announcement, annual reporting and independent shareholders’ approval requirements (if
applicable) under the Listing Rules; and

(f) we have appointed Guoyuan Capital (Hong Kong) Limited as our compliance advisor,
which will provide advice and guidance to us in respect of compliance with the applicable
laws and the Listing Rules, including various requirements relating to directors’ duties
and corporate governance.
Based on the above, our Directors are satisfied t hat the above corporate governance measures
are sufficient to manage the potential conflicts of interest between our Group and our Controlling
Shareholders and/or other Directors to protect minority Shareholders’ rights after Listing.

The above tables assume the Global Offering becomes unconditional and is completed.
SHARE CLASSES AND RANKING
Upon completion of the Global Offering, the Sha res will consist of Domestic Unlisted Shares
and H Shares. The H Shares in issue following the completion of the Global Offering and the
Domestic Unlisted Shares are ordinary Shares in t he share capital of our Company. However, apart
from certain qualified domestic institutional inv estors in the PRC, qualified PRC investors under the
Shanghai-Hong Kong stock exchanges connectivity mechanism (Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock
Connect) and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong stock exchanges connectivity mechanism (Shenzhen-Hong
Kong Stock Connect) and other persons entitled to hold our Company’s H Shares pursuant to the
relevant PRC laws and regulations or upon approval by any competent authorities, H Shares
generally may not be subscribed for by, or traded between, legal or natural persons of the PRC.
Domestic Unlisted Shares may only be subscribed for by, and traded between, legal persons of the
PRC, certain qualified foreign institution inves tors and qualified foreign strategic investors. H
Shares may only be subscribed for and traded in Hong Kong dollars.
SHARE CAPITAL
–1 6 0–


--- page 170 ---
Domestic Unlisted Shares and H Shares are rega rded as one class of Shares under our Articles
of Association and will rank pari passu with each other in all other respects and, in particular, will
rank equally for all dividends or distributio ns declared, paid or made after the date of this
prospectus. Dividends in respect of our Shares may be paid by us in Hong Kong dollars or
Renminbi, as the case may be. In addition to cash , dividends may be distributed in the form of
Shares.
CONVERSION OF DOMESTIC UNLISTED SHARES INTO H SHARES
According to the regulations by t he securities regulatory authorities of the State Council and
our Articles of Association, the Domestic Unliste d Shares may be converted into overseas listed
foreign shares (H Shares), and such converted Shares may be listed and traded on an overseas stock
exchange provided that the conversion, listing and trading of such converted Shares have been
approved by the securities regulatory authorities of the State Council. In addition, such conversion,
trading and listing shall complete any requisite internal approval process and comply with the
regulations prescribed by the securities regu latory authorities of the State Council and the
regulations, requirements and procedures presc ribed by the relevant overseas stock exchange.
If any of the Domestic Unlisted Shares are to be converted, listed and traded as H Shares on the
Stock Exchange, such conversion, listing and trading will need the approval of the relevant PRC
regulatory authorities, including the CSRC, and the approval of the Stock Exchange. We may apply
for the listing of all or any portion of the Domest ic Shares on the Stock Exchange as H Shares to
ensure that the conversion process can be comple ted promptly upon notice to the Stock Exchange
and delivery of Shares for entry on the H Share regi ster. As any listing of additional Shares after our
Listing on the Stock Exchange is ordinarily considered by the Stock Exchange to be a purely
administrative matter, it does not require such pr ior application for listing at the time of our Listing
in Hong Kong. No Shareholder voting is required for the conversion of such Shares or the Listing
and trading of such converted Shares on an overseas stock exchange. Any application for listing of
the converted shares on the Stock Exchange after t he Listing is subject to prior notification by way
of announcement to inform our Shareholders and the public of any proposed conversion.
Our Company has applied for H-share full circulation to convert 67,347,108 Domestic Unlisted
Shares on a one-for-one basis into H Shares as per the instructions of the relevant Shareholders.
TRANSFER OF SHARES PRIOR TO THE GLOBAL OFFERING
Pursuant to the PRC Company Law, the Shares issued prior to the Global Offering shall not be
transferred within 12 months from the Listing Date.
For details of the lock-up undertaking given by the Controlling Sharehold ers pursuant to Rule
10.07 of the Listing Rules, see ‘‘Underwriting — Lock Up Arrangement — Undertakings to the
Stock Exchange pursuant to the Listing Rules — (B) Undertakings by Each of Our Controlling
Shareholders’’.
REGISTRATION OF SHARES NOT LISTED ON THE OVERSEAS STOCK EXCHANGE
According to the Notice of Centralised Regist ration and Deposit of Non-overseas Listed
Shares of Companies Listed on an Overseas Stock Exchange ( 《關於境外上市公司非境外上市股份集
中登記存管有關事宜的通知》) issued by the CSRC, our Company is required to register the Domestic

THE CORNERSTONE INVESTMENTS
We have entered into cornerstone investment agreements (each, a ‘‘ Cornerstone Investment
Agreement ,’’ and together, the ‘‘Cornerstone Investment Agreements ’’) with the cornerstone investors
set out below (each, a ‘‘ Cornerstone Investor ,’’ and together, the ‘‘Cornerstone Investors ’’), pursuant
to which the Cornerstone Investors have agreed, subject to certain c onditions, to subscribe for such
number of Offer Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole board lot of 100 H Shares) as may be
purchased at the Offer Price with an aggre gate amount of approximately HK$147.6 million
(calculated based on the exchange rate prescribed in the Cornerstone Investment Agreement and an
Offer Price of HK$43.58 per Offer Share, and excl usive of brokerage, SFC transaction levy, AFRC
transaction levy, and Stock Exchange trading fee) (the ‘‘ Cornerstone Investment ’’).
Based on the Offer Price of HK$43.58 per Offer S hare, the total number of Offer Shares to be
subscribed for by the Cornerstone Investors would be 3,387,100 H Shares, representing
approximately (i) 29.55% of the H Shares offered p ursuant to the Global Offering (assuming the
Over-allotment Option is not exercised), (ii) 4.30% of our total issued share capital immediately
upon completion of the Global Offering (assuming t he Over-allotment Option is not exercised), and
(iii) 4.21% of our total issued share capital immed iately upon completion of the Global Offering and
the full exercise of the Over-allotment Option.
The Company is of the view that the Cornerstone Investment signifies our Cornerstone
Investors’ confidence in the Company and its busine ss prospects, while also contributing to raising
the Company’s public profile. The Company became acquainted with each of the Cornerstone
Investors through the business network of the Group.
Among the Cornerstone Investors, Fanchang Revitalization (as defined below) is a close
associate of the existing Shareholders, As at the Latest Practicable Date, Huaan Fund and Xingnong

is owned as to 25% by Fanchang Chungu (as defin ed below) as a limited partner, and Fanchang
Chungu is ultimately wholly owned by the Fancha ng District Finance Bureau (as defined below).
Xingnong Fund is wholly owned by Fanchang Chungu. We have applied to, and the Stock Exchange
has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with t he Listing Rules in respect of the cornerstone
investment made by Fanchang Revitalization. For d etails, please refer to ‘‘Waivers from Strict
Compliance with the Listing Rules’’ in this prospectus.
The Cornerstone Investment will form part of the International Offering, and, unless otherwise
approved by the Stock Exchange, the Cornerstone Inv estors and their respective close associates will
not subscribe for any Offer Shares under the Global Offering other than pursuant to the Cornerstone
Investment Agreements. The Offer Shares to be s ubscribed for by the Cornerstone Investors will

Immediately following the completion of the Global Offering, (i) none of the Cornerstone
Investors will become a substantial shareholder of the Company; (ii) none of the Cornerstone
Investors will have any Board representation in the Company solely by virtue of their cornerstone
investment; and (iii) the equity interests in the C ompany beneficially ow ned by the three largest

of Offer Shares to be acquired by each Cornerston e Investor may be reduced on a pro rata basis in
accordance with the terms of the Cornerstone Inv estment Agreements to satisfy the public demands
under the Hong Kong Public Offering, after taking into account the requirements under Appendix

Cornerstone Investors have agre ed that in the event (1) that the requirements under Rule 8.08(3) of

OVERVIEW
We are a fruit snack company with a particular focus on the plum-based products. We have
built a diverse plum-based products portfolio rang ing from classic products crafted with traditional
techniques to products fused with complex flav ors, catering to a wide range of taste profiles.
During the Track Record Period, we achieved strong growth. Our revenue increased by 22.2%
from RMB1,322.0 million in 2023 to RMB1,616.0 millio n in 2024, and further increased by 5.9% to
RMB1,710.7 million in 2025. Our gross profit incr eased by 10.0% from RMB529.7 million in 2023 to
RMB582.5 million in 2024, and further increa sed by 4.5% to RMB608.7 million in 2025. We
recorded a net profit of RMB99.2 million, RMB1 47.7 million and RMB182.1 million in 2023, 2024
and 2025, respectively.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
Our historical financial information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting
Standards, which comprise all standards and in terpretations approved by the International
Accounting Standards Board. The historical fi nancial information has been prepared under the
historical cost convention except for financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive
income and financial liabilities at fair value thro ugh profit or loss which have been measured at fair
value.
The preparation of the historical financial in formation in conformity with IFRS Accounting
Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to
exercise its judgment in the process of applying our accounting policies. The areas involving a higher
degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where a ssumptions and estimates are significant to the
historical financial information, are disclosed in Note 3 to the Accountants’ Report included in
Appendix I to this prospectus.
MAJOR FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Consumer Demand for Plum-Based Products
Our results of operations are significantly influenced by evolving consumer preferences and
tastes. Driven by increasing consumption level Chin ese consumers are increasingly prioritizing food
safety and natural ingredients, while demons trating a stronger willingness to pay a premium for
high-quality plum-based products made with natur al ingredients. Consumer preferences may shift
due to a variety of factors, including emerging health trend, shift in consumption concepts and
diversification of consumption scenarios. Our product innovation capabilities and deep market
insights have enabled us to deliver various fruit snack s with natural ingredients, garnering popularity
since their market introduction.

Product Offering Expansion Driven by Continued R&D Efforts
Our revenue growth depends on our ability to d evelop and expand product offerings that
accommodate shifting consumer tastes and different consumption scenarios. Our product innovation
capabilities in developing commercially successful plum-based products are demonstrated by our
plum jelly launch. Positioned as a functional and prese rvative-free snacking alternative to traditional
options, the plum jelly’s revenue contribut ion grew rapidly from RMB311.1 million in 2023 to
RMB410.4 million in 2024, and further increased to RMB465.9 million in 2025. We aim to further
diversify our portfolio by fully exploring the va lue of plums in other product categories and
identifying new consumption scenarios for plum-based foods.
Expansion and Maintenance of Sales and Distribution Networks
Our multi-faceted sales network integrates o nline self-operated stores, supermarkets,
membership stores, snack stores and a distributorship network, encompassing both online and
offline scenarios. We plan to expand our presenc e in emerging direct sales channels, including
membership stores and national snack chains. We reach end consumers directly through our
self-operated online stores and sales to retailers. We established our self-operated stores on leading
e-commerce platforms and social media platforms. T hese customers possess extensive end consumer
bases and robust purchasing power, and we strateg ically sell products to them to further amplify our
market presence. Revenue from supermarkets and membership stores increased by 56.2% from
RMB170.9 million in 2023 to RMB266.9 million in 2 024, and further increased by 50.8% to
RMB402.6 million in 2025. Our revenue from snack s tores increased by 311.6% from RMB133.8
million in 2023 to RMB550.8 million in 2024 and furt her increased by 17.7% to RMB648.5 million in
2025.
We also collaborate with a wide array of distri butors, including wholesale distributors,
distributors with visit sales capabilities and county-level distributors. By harnessing the
complementary strengths of these distributor types, we have cultivated a highly adaptive
distribution network, which not only amplifies our market reach but also enhances operational
efficiency by aligning our resources with the unique demands of different segments. As of December
31, 2025, we engaged a total of 1,439 distributors.
Production Expansion and Supply Chain Management
We have established production bases next to ma jor plum sourcing regions including Anhui,
Fujian and Guangxi. The overall utilization rate o f our production plants was 79.1%, 83.2% and
75.1% in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. We engage OEM suppliers to produce plum jelly as a
supplement to our own capacity. Our ability to further increase our production c apacity is critical to
supporting our stable and continuous business growth. In addition to refine and optimize our
production process, we plan to establish specialized production plants and expand our production
lines to increase our production capacity. See ‘‘Future Plans and Use of Proceeds.’’ In addition, we
are exposed to fluctuations in the prices of key raw materials, including green plums, imported
prunes and sugar, which may have impact on our cost of sales. We closely monitor the supply and
cost trends of the raw materials and maintain strong connections with our upstream plum suppliers
and overseas prune suppliers, fos tering long-term and stable partn erships. We strive to enhance our
supply chain management capabilit ies to boost operational and managerial efficiencies, ultimately
leading to improved fin ancial performance.

Effectiveness of Branding and Marketing Activities
Our comprehensive, multi-dimensional appro ach includes leveraging products, cultural
initiatives, festivals, KOLs and celebrities. I n 2023, 2024 and 2025, our selling and distribution
expenses were RMB309.4 millio n, RMB310.2 million and RMB271.7 million, respectively. We
believe that effective marketing and branding a ctivities can increase consumer demand for our
products, thereby boosting our s hort-term revenue. In addition, these efforts will help transform
consumers into loyal supporters of our brands, ensuring sustainable profitability in the long term.
Seasonality
Our business operations exhibit seasonal pattern s in both procurement and sales activities. We
conduct significant procurement of plums during the spring harvest season to support our
production and sales requirements for the subsequent year. On the other hand, our business and
results of operation are subject to seasonal fluct uations primarily due to impact of public holidays
such as the Chinese New Year and the stocking a nd sales cycles of customers before or around
holidays. We launch product bundles for certain festivals and holidays to boost sales and typically
experience sales peaks before Chinese New Year. The se seasonal fluctuations may render our results
of operations in certain given periods not indicative of our results of operations for the full year.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
For our material accounting policies, estima tes, assumptions and judgments, that are
important to understanding our financial condit ion and results of operations, see Note 2.3 and

During the Track Record Period, the sales vol ume of plum jelly and prune-based products
increased steadily due to our expanding promotion efforts and new product launches. We introduced
various packaging sizes and combinations tailored to the targeted consumers’ preferences. Our target
consumers for membership stores and chain snac k stores differ from those of supermarkets.
Membership stores primarily serve premium co nsumers who seek higher-quality, curated and
customized product offerings. By contrast, chain snack stores attract consumers who prioritize
variety and novelty, with a focus on diversified snack options across flavors and package sizes.
Supermarkets, in comparison, generally cater to mass-market consumers seeking standardized,
broad-based assortments for routine purchases. A dditionally, in 2024, we offer customized products
with lower per-unit prices for distributors targe ting the lower-tier cities, expanding our market
presence. We expanded our produ ction capacity for plum jelly in 2024, allowing us to implement
more competitive pricing strategies to appeal to a broader range of consume rs. The average selling
price of our prune-based products increased grad ually during the Track Record Period, primarily
due to the launch of prune-based products tailo red for certain membership stores, reflecting
premium positioning.

A significant portion of government grants we received during the Track Record Period were
from the local governments of Jinghu District and Fanchang District in Wuhu City in recognition of
our contribution to the local economy, as well as our investment in production capacity expansion.
In particular, we had an increase in the government grants and subsidies related to income in 2024,
primarily in relation to certain subsidies for our bu siness operations that we re timely fulfilled and
disbursed, and such government grants and subsidies decreased in 2025 due to a reduction in
income-related government grants and subsidies. We have obtained approval documents issued by
competent authorities or signed relevant agr eements with competent authorities for these
government grants.

revenue decreased from 23.4% in 2023 to 19.2% in 2024 and further decreased to 15.9% in 2025.
Such trend throughout the Track Record Period was primarily because (i) we optimized our sales
and marketing efficiency, resulting in the decr eased employee compensation expenses; (ii) we
deployed more effective advertising approaches targeting certain channels and customer bases,
leading to the decreases in advertising expenses; a nd (iii) we expanded our sales to retail channels,
and some of which, such as most snack stores, g enerally required less marketing effort.

YEAR-ON-YEAR COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations in 2025 compared with 2024
The following discussion compares our conso lidated results of operations in 2025 with 2024.
Revenue
Our revenue increased by 5.9% from RMB1, 616.0 million in 2024 to RMB1,710.7 million in
2025. This increase was primarily due to the increased sales of our prune-based products and plum
jelly.
In particular:
. Revenue from dried plum snacks decr eased by 14.8% from RMB973.5 million to
RMB829.9 million in 2025, respect ively. The decrease was caused by our strategic shift to
developing and promoting our other product categories.
. Revenue from prune-based products incr eased by 70.0% from RMB223.6 million in 2024
to RMB380.2 million in 2025. The increase was primarily due to a surging market demand
for our newly launched pitted prune-based products and our customized prune-based
products for certain membership stores.
. Revenue from plum jelly increased b y 13.5% from RMB410.4 million in 2024 to
RMB465.9 million in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the growing market
demand for fruit-based jelly and newly la unched seasonal-themed products and
electrolyte-infused slushy jelly.
. Revenue from other products surged by 305.5% from RMB8.6 million in 2024 to
RMB34.7 million in 2025, primarily in rela tion to the increased sales of our newly
launched product categories, such as plum gummy.
In terms of sales channels, revenue from snack stores increased by 17.7% from RMB550.8
million in 2024 to RMB648.5 million in 2025, while re venue from supermarkets and membership
stores increased by 50.8% from RMB266.9 million in 2024 to RMB402.6 million in 2025. Such
increases were primarily due to our strategic shift in sales focus from distributorship to more direct
cooperation with supermarkets, membership stores and snack stores, resulting in increased sales of
products tailored for these channels.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales increased by 6.6% from R MB1,033.6 million in 2024 to RMB1,102.0 million
in 2025, in line with our revenue growth during the same period.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by 4.5% from RMB582.5 million in 2024
to RMB608.7 million in 2025. Our gross profit margin remained relatively stable at 36.0% in 2024
and 35.6% in 2025. The gross profit margin for dried plum snacks remained relatively stable at
32.1% in 2024 and 33.4% in 2025. The gross profit ma rgin for prune-based products decreased from
32.4% in 2024 to 29.7% in 2025, primarily due to increased raw material costs and the ramp-up of
the production line for our prune-based produc ts in 2025. The gross profit margin for plum jelly
decreased from 47.8% in 2024 to 45.4% in 2025, primarily attributable to (i) the increased raw
material costs, such as konjac, and (ii) higher unit production costs during the ramp-up phase of the
new production line. Gross profit margin for other products increased from 16.2% in 2024 to 21.0%
in 2025.

In addition, there were movements in gross profit margins across sales channels. In particular,
our gross profit margin from sales to supermarke ts and membership stores decreased from 39.4% in
2024 to 32.8% in 2025, mainly because we increased the sales of customized prune-based products
for a membership store, which had lower profit mar gins. Our gross profit margin from sales to snack
stores increased from 34.8% in 2024 to 35.2% in 2025, as we introduced certain customized dried
plum snacks with higher margins for national snack chains. Our gross profit margin from sales to
online self-operated stores decreased from 47.0% in the 2024 to 41.5% in 2025, primarily because the
increased promotion expenditure on e-commerce p latforms to enhance the market exposure of our
new products. Our gross profit margin from distri butorship increased from 33.4% in 2024 to 36.7%
in 2025, as we reduced the discounts for distrib utors who failed to meet the sales targets while
shifting to retail channels.
Other Income and Gains
Our other income and gains decreased by 11.6% from RMB39.6 million in 2024 to RMB35.0
million in 2025 primarily due to a reduction in incom e-related government grants and subsidies.
Selling and Distribution Expenses
Our selling and distribution expenses dec reased by 12.4% from RMB310.2 million in 2024 to
RMB271.7 million in 2025. This decrease was pr imarily due to (i) a decrease in employee
compensation and travel expenses, mainly driven by our strategic shift in sales channels, as the direct
sales to snack stores, supermarkets and membersh ip stores typically rely on their in-house sales
expertise and require fewer sales personnel; and (ii) a decrease in advertising expense, as we deployed
more efficient advertising strategy tailored to s pecific products and specific consumer groups.
Administrative Expenses
Our administrative expenses increased by 11 .9% from RMB100.2 million in 2024 to RMB112.1
million in 2025, primarily due to the an increase in listing expenses and increase in employee
compensation expenses for talent recruitment.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses inc reased by 47.6% from R MB18.9 million in 2024 to
RMB27.9 million in 2025, primarily due to the increa sed direct costs for new product development
projects, including new dried plum products and prune-based products.
Finance Costs
Our finance costs increased by 69.2% fro m RMB7.8 million in 2024 to RMB13.2 million in
2025, primarily due to an increase in interest on bank loans caused by our increased bank loans for
raw material and equipment purchases.
Fair Value (Loss)/Gain on Financial Liabilit ies at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
Our fair value loss on financial liabilities at f air value through profit or loss increased from
RMB1.6 million in 2024 to fair value gain on financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
of RMB5.3 million in 2025. This change from loss to p rofit was primarily due to the fully settled
redemption of liabilities of Ser ies A Shares in January 2025.
Income Tax Expense
Our income tax expense increased from RMB3 2.7 million in 2024 to RMB37.1 million in 2025,
primarily due to the increase of our profit before tax during this period.

Profit for the Year
As a result, our profit for the year incre ased by 23.3% from RMB147.7 million in 2024 to
RMB182.1 million in 2025.
Results of Operations in 2024 compared with 2023
The following discussion compares our conso lidated results of operations in 2024 with 2023.
Revenue
Our revenue increased by 22.2% from RMB1 ,322.0 million in 2023 to RMB1,616.0 million in
2024. The increase was primarily due to (i) increa sed consumer demand for our dried plum snacks,
prune-based products and plum jelly, and (ii) the s uccessful expansion of our retail channels as we
expanded sales with snack stores, national and regional supermarkets and renowned membership
stores which possess extensive consume r bases and robust purchasing power.
In particular:
. Revenue from dried plum snacks increased by 16.2% from RMB838.1 million in 2023 to
RMB973.5 million in 2024. The increase was pr imarily driven by an increase in sales
volume, which grew from 23,168 tons in 2023 to 29,894 tons in 2024. Such growth reflects
the rising popularity of our dried plum snacks and enhanced brand recognition among
consumers, driven by our continuous efforts to launch new products and upgrade existing
ones as well as successful marketing activities.
. Revenue from prune-based products incr eased by 43.3% from RMB156.0 million in 2023
to RMB223.6 million in 2024. The increase was primarily due to the growth of sales
volume from 4,028 tons in 2023 to 5,634 tons in 2024, influenced by consumer preferences
for snacks with natural ingredients.
. Revenue from plum jelly increased b y 31.9% from RMB311.1 million in 2023 to
RMB410.4 million in 2024. The increase was pr imarily driven by robust consumer demand
for our new products, with the sales volume of ou r plum jelly increasing significantly from
12,104 tons in 2023 to 21,784 tons in 2024, ref lecting the successful outcomes of our
product development efforts in introducing new flavors.
. Revenue from other products amounted to RMB16.9 million in 2023 and RMB8.6 million
in 2024, primarily in relation to ou rt r i a ls a l e so fc e r t a i np r o d u c t s .
We had continuously achieved substantial reve nue growth from retailer customers, including
national snack chains, as well as membership stores which we started to cooperate with in the late
2024. Revenue from snack stores increased by 311.6% from RMB133.8 million in 2023 to RMB550.8
million in 2024, while revenue from supermarkets a nd membership stores increased by 56.2% from
RMB170.9 million in 2023 to RMB266.9 million in 20 24. Such increases were primarily due to (i) the
increase in number of supermarkets that we cooperated with from 41 as of December 31, 2023 to 113
as of December 31, 2024 and the increase in number o f snack stores that we cooperated with from 48
as of December 31, 2023 to 94 as of December 31, 2024; and (ii) the improving sales performance
with our existing retailer customers, as we capitali zed on their extensive networks to establish direct
consumer connections and achieve nationwide sales growth.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales increased by 30.5% from RMB792.3 million in 2023 to RMB1,033.6 million in
2024, primarily due to the increase in raw material c osts and labor costs, as a result of the growing
total production volume in line with our business expansion.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
As a result of the foregoing, our gross prof it increased by 10.0% from RMB529.7 million in
2023 to RMB582.5 million in 2024. Our gross profit margin decreased from 40.1% in 2023 to 36.0%
in 2024. We had a general decrease in the gross profit margin of our major product categories
including dried plum snacks, prune-based products and plum jelly, primarily due to (i) an increase in
the raw material costs affected by the fluctuation s in market prices of key raw materials, and (ii) that
we proactively offered more favorable prices to increase our market penetration in the broad snack
industry, appealing to a broader range of consumers.
In terms of sales channel, our gross profit ma rgins change across different channels.
Specifically, our gross profit margin from sales to supermarkets and membership stores declined
from 45.1% in 2023 to 39.4% in 2024. Similarly, our gross profit margin from sales to snack stores
decreased from 40.5% in 2023 to 34.8% in 2024. This reduction is primarily due to our adoption of a
pricing strategy that offers lower prices to these c ustomers, coupled with a reduction in expenditures
in relation to marketing activities in cooperati on with these customers. With enhanced pricing
transparency, our customers have been able to leverage their geographic coverage and direct
consumer reach, while enabling us to a chieve improved sales efficiency.
Other Income and Gains
Our other income and gains increased fro m RMB28.0 million in 2023 to RMB39.6 million in
2024. The increase was primarily due to the increase in government grants and subsidies related to
income in relation to our local operations.
Selling and Distribution Expenses
Our selling and distribution expenses amou nted to RMB309.4 million in 2023 and RM310.2
million in 2024. The slight increase was primarily attr ibutable to (i) an increase in transportation
expenses, in line with our sales growth, (ii) an increase in the advertising expenses for celebrity
endorsements to expand our consumer base, and (iii) an increase in employee compensation expenses
as we expanded our sales team to support our business expansion. This was partially offset by a
decrease in the marketing expenses as we expanded our sales with retailer customers who required
fewer marketing activities.
Administrative Expenses
Our administrative expenses increased by 13 .0% from RMB88.7 million in 2023 to RMB100.2
million in 2024. The increase was primarily due to (i) the expansion of our administrative team as our
business scaled up, and (ii) the listing expenses incurred in 2024.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses decr eased by 43.8% from RMB33.6 million in 2023 to
RMB18.9 million in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the conclusion of certain R&D projects
initiated in previous periods, which resulted in the launch of new products such as Premium Plums
and plum jelly products featuring new flavors.
Finance Costs
Our finance costs decreased from RMB8.0 million in 2023 to RMB7.8 million in 2024. The
decrease was primarily due to the decrease in in terest on bank loans, attributable to (i) our
repayment of existing loans and securing new lo ans at lower interest rates, and (ii) our reduced
financing needs resulting from increased cash flow generated by our expanded sales.

Fair Value (Loss)/Gain on Financial Liabilit ies at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
Our fair value loss on financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss decreased from
RMB6.0 million in 2023 to RMB1.6 million in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to (i) the
changes in the fair value of equity interests with p referential rights held by our investors, (ii)
payment for repurchase of shares issued to an inve stor, (iii) termination of preferential rights
granted to certain investors, and (iv ) issuance of shares to a new investor.
Income Tax Expense
Our income tax expense increased from RMB1 1.4 million in 2023 to RMB32.7 million in 2024,
primarily due to the increase of our profit before tax in 2024.
Profit for the Year
As a result, our profit for the year incre ased by 48.9% from RMB99.2 million in 2023 to
RMB147.7 million in 2024.

Our property, plant and equi pment increased from RMB563 .5 million as of December 31, 2023
to RMB592.2 million as of December 31, 2024, prima rily due to an increase in construction in
progress in relation to Liuliu Orch ard exhibition hall, the product ion lines of dried plum snacks and
the equipment for the plum jelly production facilit ies. Our property, plant and equipment further
increased from RMB592.2 million as of Decembe r 31, 2024 to RMB688.5 million as of December 31,
2025, primarily due to (i) an increase in plant and machinery and (ii) construction in progress in
relation to certain production facilities for prun e-based products and plum jelly in response to the
surging market demand.
Right-of-use Assets
Our right-of-use assets primarily consist of (i) le asehold land and (ii) offices. Our right-of-use
assets decreased from RMB90.9 million as o f December 31, 2023 to RMB86.5 million as of
December 31, 2024, primarily due to amortization t o the leasehold land and office premises. Our
right-of-use assets remained relatively stab le at RMB86.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and
RMB85.7 million as of December 31, 2025.
Other Intangible Assets
Our other intangible assets primarily consis t of (i) software for daily operations, and (ii)
licenses, including the emission permit. Our othe r intangible assets decreased from RMB2.9 million
as of December 31, 2023 to RMB2.4 million as of D ecember 31, 2024, and further decreased to
RMB1.8 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily du e to amortization of the software and licenses.

Our current portion of our prepayments, other receivables and other assets increased from
RMB69.3 million as of December 31, 2023 to RMB11 5.2 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily
due to (i) an increase in prepayment to suppliers fo r raw materials, (ii) an increase in deposits for
participation in land auctions and (iii) an increa se in other receivables in relation to government
grants and subsidies. The current portion of our prepayments, other receivables and other assets
remained relatively stable at RMB115.2 millio n as of December 31, 2024 and RMB115.6 million as
of December 31, 2025. This stability was primarily attributable to an increase in value-added tax
recoverable, resulting from a higher balance o f input VAT that had not yet been offset against
output VAT as at the period end. Such increase wa s partially offset by a decrease in advertising
endorsement fees due to the amortization of such fees over the term of our endorsement
arrangement, which expired at the end of 2025, a nd a decrease in deposits primarily due to the
offset of a land deposit against the land premium.
The non-current portion of our prepayments, o ther receivables and other assets decreased,
representing the prepayment for land in relation to the expansion and upgrading of our production
facilities, as well as the construction of our R&D and sales and marketing centers, amounted to
RMB12.3 million, RMB32.1 million and RMB66.9 million in 2023, 2024 and 202 5, respectively.

The fluctuation in our receivab les from e-commerce platforms during the Track Record Period

Our inventories increased f rom RMB425.9 million as of Dec ember 31, 2023 to RMB523.7
million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to (i) our proactive increase in inventory reserves
based on overall market demand forecasts, and (ii) an increase in goods in transit as our customers
stocked up in anticipation of surging sales befor e the Chinese New Year, which occurred earlier in
2025 compared to the previous year. Our inv entories increased from RMB523.7 million as of
December 31, 2024 to RMB673.4 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in
work-in-progress, as we conducte d preliminary processing for raw materials in preparation for
further processing, thereby meeting the expanding production needs in anticipation of the growing
market demand in Chinese New Ye ar promotion in February 2026.

During the Track Record Period, our inventory aged one to two years were primarily plums in
favoring process. We believe there is no impairm ent issue for our inventories as of December 31,
2025. Our provision policy for inventories is based on estimates of the realizable value with reference
to the ageing and condition of the inventories, together with the econo mic circumstances on the
marketability of such inventories . Under our internal policies, we shall make full provision for
expired finished goods and raw materials or work-in-progress that are no longer expected to be used.
During the Track Record Period, a significant portion of our inventories comprises our
work-in-progress mainly including plums in fl avoring process. We have implemented management
protocols for raw materials and work-in-progress at different production stages, covering plum
specifications, sugaring and salting processes and storage durations. For the production of dried
plum snacks, we place plums into salting and sugaring vats for a period of no shorter than 90 days,
creating an environment that inhibits microbial growth and preserves the plums’ quality. We
conduct daily inspections with full coverage of all vats during the sugaring and salting processes.
Plums are naturally sun-dried in enclosed s unrooms to minimize contamination and ensure
consistent sensory quality and color. Prior to each subsequent production stage, we conduct sample
quality inspections on every batch of work-in-progress. We package and store our work-in-progress
in temperature- and humidity-controlled clean areas. Storage periods are defined by product
category, with strict usage deadlines to maintain qu ality. We also periodica lly review our inventories
aging list, which involves comparison of the carryin g amount of our inventories with their respective
net realizable value.

Our inventory turnover days were 186.5 days, 181.7 days, 167.7 days and 198.2 days for the
years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. We have relatively long inventory turnover days,
primarily because we maintain a sufficient volume o f work-in-progress, which consists mainly of
plums in flavoring process with an extended storage period. The increase in the inventory turnover
days from 2024 to 2025 aligned with our production schedule in preparation for promotional events
during the Chinese New Year, which occurred in Feb ruary 2026, a month later than the Chinese New
Year in the previous year. Our Directors are of the view that there is no material impairment issue
for our inventories, considering that (i) most of ou r inventories consist of work-in-progress held as
part of our normal production process, and that (ii) we have established robust policies to manage
such inventories.
As of April 30, 2026, RMB455.2 million, or 66.8% o f our inventories as of December 31, 2025,

Our trade and bills receivables increased from RMB80.5 million as of December 31, 2023 to
RMB162.9 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily because our customers normally stock up in
anticipation of surging sales before the Chinese New Year, which occurred earlier in 2025 compared
to the previous year. Our trade and bills recei vables increased from RMB162.9 million as of
December 31, 2024 to RMB221.0 million as of Decem ber 31, 2025, primarily due to the increased
sales to membership stores and snack stores to whom we provide credit terms.
We generally grant a credit period of one month to our retailer customers, and may extend up
to 30 to 60 days for major retailer customers. The increase in trade receivables aged between three to
six months from 2024 to 2025 was primarily attributable to the conversion of certain key account
customers from distributor-mediated arrangemen ts to direct sales channels, which resulted in the
extended payment terms customarily imposed by su ch institutional retail counterparties being
reflected directly on the our own receivables aging schedule. The following table sets forth an aging

Our trade receivables aged within three months increased from RMB44.5 million as of
December 31, 2023 to RMB128.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The fluctuations were primarily
influenced by our customers’ mass procurement in preparation of the Chinese New Year, which
varies in timing each year. Our trade receivables aged within three months further increased from
RMB128.0 million as of December 31, 2024 to RMB172.6 million as of December 31, 2025, which
was in line with our growing sales to direct sales customers.
Our trade receivables aged over one year rema ined relatively stable at RMB20.3 million as of
December 31, 2023 and RMB20.8 million as of Decem ber 31, 2024. The relatively high amount of
our trade receivables aged over one year as of Decemb er 31, 2024 is primarily attributable to certain
historical payments that remain unsettled with two renowned retail groups. Our trade receivables
aged over one year decreased from RMB20.8 mi llion as of December 31, 2024 to RMB4.8 million as
of December 31, 2025, primarily du e to our optimized management an d increased settlement of trade
receivables from certain customers. We belie ve there is no recoverability issue for our trade
receivables, and we have sufficient provisions, taking into account (i) our robust credit risk
management system, which includes credit evalua tions and tailored credit policies, under which
credit terms are only granted to direct sales custome rs with exceptionally strong credit profiles (e.g.
large-scale supermarket groups) while no credit sa les are offered to distributors; and (ii) stringent
internal measures such as monthly reconciliation of trade receivables, issuance of invoices based on
settlement confirmations, and ongoing monitoring and management by the financial department
that enhance the collection and ma nagement of trade receivables.

Our trade and bills receivables turnover days increased from 28.9 days in 2024 to 42.7 days in

trade and bills payables increased from RMB 290.9 million as of December 31, 2024 to RMB346.1

The increase in our trade and bills payables tu rnover days from 84.0 days as of December 31,
2024 to 105.5 days as of December 31, 2025 was primarily due to our increased procurement of raw

Financial Liabilities at FVTPL
Our fair value losses of financial liabilities at fai r value through profit or loss primarily arose

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities
In 2025, we had net cash flows generated from operating activities of RMB74.5 million,
primarily reflecting profit before tax of RMB2 19.2 million, by non-cash and other items to arrive at
an operating profit before changes in workin g capital of RMB306.3 million. Our movements in
working capital primarily reflect (i) an increa se in inventories of RMB151.0 million as a result of
upfront procurement of raw materials, such as p lums and prunes, during the harvest season and
related preliminary processing in anticipation of in creased sales and to ensure production efficiency
ahead of our peak sales season, and (ii) an incr ease in trade and bills receivables of RMB60.0
million, primarily due to a decrease in contract liab ilities driven by our shifting sales strategy to
focus on sales to emerging retail channels and a decrease in payroll payables driven by changes to
our salary structure, partially offset by an incr ease in trade and bills payables of RMB53.7 million,
which resulted from an increase in purchase of aux iliary materials to meet e xpanded production. We
have implemented measures to improve our operati ng cash flow, including enhancing inventory
turnover through improved sales forecasting and optimized production and procurement planning
and negotiating more flexible procurement and pa yment arrangements with suppliers to better align
cash outflows with sales collections.

WORKING CAPITAL CONFIRMATION
Taking into account the financial resources available to us including our cash and cash
equivalents on hand, unutilized banking facilitie s and the estimated net proceeds from the Global
Offering, our Directors are of the view that we have sufficient working capital to meet our present
requirements and for the next 12 months from the date of this prospectus.
DISTRIBUTABLE RESERVES
As of December 31, 2025, we had distributa ble reserves of RMB485.8 million available for
distribution to our shareholders.
LISTING EXPENSES
Listing expenses consist of professional fees, u nderwriting commissions and other fees incurred
in connection with the Global Offering. We expec t to incur listing expenses of approximately
HK$59.5 million (based on the Offer Price of HK$43.58 per Offer Share and assuming the
Over-allotment Option is not exercised), which accounts for approximately 11.9% of the gross
proceeds from the Global Offering. We estimate th e listing expenses to consist of approximately
HK$20.0 million in underwriting f ees and HK$39.5 million in non-und erwriting fees. Among of the
total listing expenses, approximately HK$26.3 millio n will be directly attributable to the issue of our
Shares, which will be deducted from equity upon the completion of the Global Offering, and the
remaining HK$33.2 million will be expensed in our c onsolidated statements of comprehensive
income. Our Directors do not expect such expenses t o materially impact our results of operations in

FUTURE PLANS
See ‘‘Business — Our Growth Str ategies’’ for a detailed discussion of our future plans.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Assuming an Offer Price of HK$43.58 per Offer Share, we estimate that we will receive net
proceeds of approximately HK$ 440.1 million from the Global Offering after deducting the
underwriting commissions and other estimated expenses paid and payable by us in connection with
the Global Offering and assuming that the Over-a llotment Option is not exercised. In line with our
strategies, we intend to use our proceeds from the Global Offering for the purposes and in the
amounts set forth below:
. Approximately 61.0% of the net proceeds, or approxima tely HK$268.5 million, will be
used to expand our production capacity over t he next three years. The overall size of the
fruit snack market by retail sales value in China has been rapidly expanding, increasing
from RMB37.8 billion in 2020 to RMB52.0 b illion in 2024, at a CAGR of 8.3%. The
market size is expected to further reach RMB78.0 billion in 2029, growing at a CAGR of
8.6% from 2025 to 2029, according to Frost & Sullivan. In particular, according to the
same source, the market size of China’s green -plum-based fruit snacks industry by retail
sales value is projected to reach RMB17.0 b illion in 2029, growing from RMB10.4 billion
in 2025 with a CAGR of 13.0%. We intend to capitalize on market opportunities by
expanding our production capacity and establishing new production plants, scheduled for
completion by 2027. The production volum e at our Anhui Plant decreased during the
Track Record Period, mainly because we in creased our sales focus on plum jelly and
prune-based products in response to market demand and consumer preferences, and
adjusted our production schedule accordingly t o prioritize these two product categories.
As our Anhui Plant is principally configured for the production of dried plum snacks, this
adjustment correspondingly resulted in a decrease in its production utilization rate. We
believe production expansion for dried plum snacks over the next three years is justified
and consistent with our growth strategy. T he production utilization rate of our Wuhu
Plant was relatively low during the Track Rec ord Period, as it serves as the production
capacity reserve for newly launched product s. Nevertheless, the overall production
utilization rate of our dried plum snacks rem ained relatively high at 80.6%, 85.2% and
74.2% in each of the years during the Track Reco rd Period, which demonstrates sustained
demand for our core dried plum snack offerings. Looking forward, we expect dried plum
products to remain the cornerstone of our portfolio and the primary anchor of our
revenue and brand identity. We view the recent moderation in sales and production
volumes as a transitional effect of our strat egic repositioning rather than a structural
decline in underlying demand. As the market pioneer in the plum-based snacks, we have
played a crucial role in shaping consumer awa reness and preference for dried plum snacks.
We believe our sustained investment in market ing and our ongoing efforts to promote the
value of green plums position us not only to capture existing demand but also to cultivate
and broaden the overall consumer base for the category. In addition, we plan to launch
new dried plum snack products, which show gro wth potential within China’s broader fruit
snack market. It is therefore prudent to expand capacity in advance to secure sufficient
supply, enhance production flexibility acros s product categories and support our planned
scale-up to better support stable and efficient production as our product portfolio and
sales channels continue to grow. In particular:
(i) Approximately 25.0% of the net proceed s, or approximately HK$110.0 million, will
be used to establish a production facilit y for our plum products in Fujian Province,
dedicated to the production of dried plum snacks on our currently owned land. We
plan to construct the factory buildings, purchase production line machinery and
equipment, and procure necessary manufact uring systems tailored to each facility’s
specific requirements.

–1 9 9–


--- page 209 ---
(ii) Approximately 18.0% of the net procee ds, or approximately HK$79.3 million, will
be used to expand our production capacity. We plan to expand our facilities in the
existing production base — Plum Jelly Plant — in Wuhu, Anhui Province to meet the
increasing consumer demand for plum jelly products. We plan to purchase
production line machinery and equipment, and procure necessary manufacturing
systems.
(iii) Approximately 10.0% of the net procee ds, or approximately HK$44.0 million, will
be used to establish a new warehouse and logistic facility for which we have
identified a suitable site. To support our store expansion and ensure that we provide
fresh and high-quality green-plum nectar, we plan to purchase warehouse racking
system and cold storage facilities. We also intend to invest in automated and
intelligent warehousing equipment and sy stems to manage product receiving and
dispatching, inventory management, produ ct information tracking, and delivery
routes, enhancing our warehouse operating efficiency.
(iv) Approximately 8.0% of the net proceed s, or approximately HK$35.2 million, will be
used to establish a new production plant in Fanchang District, Wuhu City, Anhui
Province for product ingredients such as f ruit nectar. We have identified a suitable
site in our currently owned land. This plant addresses our need for increased
ingredient production capacity as our produ ct categories grow, ensuring continuous
and efficient manufacturing processes.
The following table set forth the anticipa ted timeline for establishing facilities and
expanding our production capacities by 2029, and the total expected expenditure for
each project. We plan to fund these projects by the net proceeds from the Global
Offering and cash generated from our operations. These projections are indicative
and may be adjusted in light of actual business needs and prevailing market
conditions:
Year ending December 31,
Planned Facilities 2026 2027 2028 Total
(RMB in thousands, except for percentages)
Processing facility for plum pr oducts 9,000.0 95, 280.0 – 104,280

Warehouse and logistic facility 46,000 23,100 – 69,100.0
Production plant for product ingredients 20,000.0 35,000 – 35,000
. Approximately 21.0% of the net proceeds , or approximately HK$92.4 million, will be
used to enhance our brand recognition, expand our sales network and explore
international markets over the next year. In particular:
(i) Approximately 15.0% of the net procee ds, or approximately HK$66.0 million, will
be used for brand marketing and promot ion. To cultivate our brand image that
appeals to various consumer demographics, we plan to deepen our engagement with
customers through a variety of online and offline marketing activities, including
festival campaigns, and endorsements by KOLs and celebrities. We also plan to
continue our strategic collaborations with popular brands among young consumers
to launch co-branded products.

(ii) Approximately 6.0% of the net proceed s, or approximately HK$26.4 million, will be
used to expand our sales network and explo re international markets. We plan to
reinforce our partnerships with KA custom ers, launching customized products and
co-branded products that meet evolvi ng consumer preferences and amplify our
brand exposure.
Beyond the domestic market, we aspire to ex tend our reach in international markets.
Leveraging our overseas business department established in 2024, we will target
markets with significant Asian communities or consumers with dietary preferences
for plum-based products. We will concentrate our expansion on the Southeast Asian
market, with a particular focus on Thaila nd, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and
Indonesia, leveraging established mainstream retail channels. With a dedicated
regional team already in place, we plan to s ecure distribution partners in Singapore,
Malaysia and Indonesia. We plan to cooper ate with a leading local commercial and
retail group in Thailand, leveraging its e xtensive store network. To build brand
awareness and drive trial, we will phase in t argeted offline marketing initiatives,
including consumer promoti ons, point-of-sale activatio ns and outdoor advertising
that are designed to introduce and cel ebrate China’s green-plum heritage.
. Approximately 8.0% of the net proceeds, or approximately HK$35.2 million, will be used
to recruit R&D personnel and advance our R&D initiatives. We plan to recruit R&D
personnel over the next three years to facilitat e our strategy to enrich product offerings.
Specifically, we plan to hire experts in areas such as food flavor development, green plum
beverages, functional foods, organic products, nutrition and zero-additive preservation
technologies. This includes an estimated annual addition of 20 R&D professionals focused
on plum-based food and beverage innovation.
Additionally, we intend to establish a research institute in Shanghai and invest in
advanced R&D equipment and testing instruments. These efforts aim to enhance our
capabilities in health-focused food proce ssing, meet the growing demand for green and
organic products, and strengthen our core competitiveness. We also aim to further
diversify our portfolio by fully exploring the value of plums in other product categories
such as confectioneries, beverages, condiments and other product offerings, and
identifying new consumption scenarios for plum-based products.
. Approximately 10.0% of the net proceeds , or approximately HK$44.0 million, will be
used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The additional net proceeds that we would recei ve if the Over-allotment Option is exercised in
full would be HK$74.9 million (assuming an O ffer Price of HK$43.58 per Offer Share).
To the extent that the net proceeds from the Global Offering (including the net proceeds from
the exercise of the Over-allotment Option) are either more or less than expected, we may adjust our
allocation of the net proceeds for the above purposes on a pro rata basis.
If any part of our development plan does not proceed as planned for reasons such as changes in
government policies that would render the development of any of our projects not viable, or the
occurrence of force majeure events, we will carefu lly evaluate the situation and may reallocate the
net proceeds from the Global Offering.
To the extent that the net proceeds of the Glo bal Offering are not immediately used for the
above purposes, we will only deposit those net proc eeds into short-term intere st-bearing accounts at
licensed commercial banks and/or other authorized financial institutions (as defined under the SFO
or applicable laws and regulations in other juris dictions). In such event, we will comply with the
appropriate disclosure requirements under the Listing Rules.

International Offering
International Underwriting Agreement
In connection with the International Offeri ng, we expect to enter into the International
Underwriting Agreement with, among others, the Overall Coordinators and the International
Underwriters. Under the International Underwriting Agreement, the International Underwriters
would, subject to certain conditions, severally (but not jointly) agree to purchase or procure
purchasers for the International O ffer Shares initially offered pursu ant to the International Offering.
It is expected that the International Underwriti ng Agreement may be terminated on grounds similar
to those contained in the Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement. Please see the section headed
‘‘Structure of the Global Offering — The International Offering’’ for further details.
Over-allotment Option
Our Company intends to grant to the Internation al Underwriters the Over-allotment Option,
exercisable in whole or in part, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Overall Coordinators on
behalf of the International Underwriters from the Listing Date until 30 days from the last day
permitted for the making of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering, pursuant to which
our Company may be required to allot and issue u p to an aggregate of 1,719,600 additional H
Shares, representing approxima tely 15.0% of the number of Offer Shares initially available under the
Global Offering at the Offer Price to cover over-allo cations in the International Offering, if any.
Please see the section headed ‘‘Structure of the Global Offering — Over-allotment Option’’ for
further details.
It is expected that the International Underw riting Agreement may be terminated on similar
grounds as the Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement. Potential investors shall be reminded that in
the event that the International Un derwriting Agreement is not ente red into, the Global Offering will
not proceed.
Commission and Expenses
The Underwriters and the Capital Market Inte rmediaries will receive an underwriting
commission of 2.5% of the aggregate Offer Price of all the Offer Shares (including any Offer
Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Over-allotment Option) (the ‘‘ Fixed Fees ’’), out of
which they will pay any sub-underwriting commissions and other fees.
UNDERWRITING
–2 1 0–


--- page 220 ---
The Underwriters and the Capital Market Interm ediaries may receive a discretionary incentive
fee of up to 1.5% of the aggregate Offer Price of all the Offer Shares (including any Offer Shares to
be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Over-allotment Option) (the ‘‘ Discretionary Fees ’’). As of the
date of this Prospectus, the allocation of a por tion of the Fixed Fees remains subject to the
Company’s discretion. Accordin gly, the unallocated portion of th e Fixed Fees will be regarded as
discretionary fees for the purpose of the Listing Ru les. The ratio of the fixed fee and discretionary
fee (as classified under and for the purpose of Rule 3A.34 of the Listing Rules) payable by the
Company to all syndicate members is expected to be approximately 37.5 : 62.5 (assuming the
Discretionary Fees will be paid in full).
For any unsubscribed Hong Kong Offer Shares reallocated to the International Offering, the
underwriting commission will not be paid to the Hong Kong Underwriters but will instead be paid to
the International Underwriters.
The sponsor’s fees payable to the Sp onsor are HK$6.3 million in aggregate.
The aggregate commissions and fees (exclusive of any Discretionary Fees), together with the
Stock Exchange listing fee, the SFC transaction levy, the AFRC transaction levy, the Stock
Exchange trading fee, the brokerage fee, the legal an d other professional fees, printing and other fees
and expenses relating to the Global Offering , are estimated to be about HK$59.2 million (on the
assumption that the Over-allotment Option will be exercised in full and based on an Offer Price of
HK$43.58) and will be paid by our Company.
Indemnity
Our Company has agreed to indemnify the Hong Kong Underwriters for certain losses which
they may suffer, including losses incurred arising from their performance of their obligations under
t h eH o n gK o n gU n d e r w r i t i n gA g r e e m e n ta n dany breach by our Company of the Hong Kong
Underwriting Agreement.
Hong Kong Underwriters’ Interests in our Company
Save for their respective obligations under the Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement, as of the
Latest Practicable Date, none of the Hong Kong Underwriters was interested, directly or indirectly,
in any H Shares or any securities of any member of our Group or had any right or option (whether
legally enforceable or not) to subscribe for or purchase, or to nominate persons to subscribe for or
purchase, any H Shares or any securities of any member of our Group.
ACTIVITIES BY SYNDICATE MEMBERS
The underwriters of the Hong Kong Public Offeri ng and the International Offering (together,
the ‘‘Syndicate Members ’’) and their affiliates may each individu ally undertake a variety of activities
(as further described below) which do not form p art of the underwriting or stabilizing process.
The Syndicate Members and their affiliates are diversified financial institutions with
relationships in countries around the world. T hese entities engage in a wide range of commercial
and investment banking, brokerage, funds mana gement, trading, hedging, investing and other
activities for their own account and for the acco unt of others. In the ordinary course of their
business activities, the Syndicate Members and t heir affiliates may purchase, sell or hold a broad
array of investments and actively trade securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit
default swaps and other financial instruments fo r their own account and for the accounts of their
customers. These investment and trading activitie s may involve or relate to assets, securities and/or
instruments of our Company, and/or persons and entities with relationships with our Company and
may also include swaps and other financial inst ruments entered into for hedging purposes in
connection with our loans and other debt.
UNDERWRITING
–2 1 1–


--- page 221 ---
In relation to our H Shares, the activities of the Syndicate Members and their affiliates may
include acting as agent for buyers and sellers of ou r H Shares, entering into transactions with those
buyers and sellers in a principal capacity, including as a lender to initial purchasers of our H Shares
(whose financing may be secured by our H Shares) in the Global Offering, proprietary trading in our
H Shares, and entering into over-the-counter or lis ted derivative transactions or listed or unlisted
securities transactions (including issuing securi ties such as derivative warrants listed on a stock
exchange) which have as their underlying assets, a ssets including our H Shares. Such transactions
may be carried out as bilateral agreements or trades with selected counterparties. Those activities
may require hedging activity by tho se entities involving, directly or indirectly, the buying and selling
of our H Shares, which may have a negative impact on the trading price of our H Shares. All such
activities may take place in Hong Kong and elsew here in the world and may result in the Syndicate
Members and their affiliates holding long and/or short positions in our H Shares, in baskets of
securities or indices including our H Shares, in u nits of funds that may purchase our H Shares, or in
derivatives related to any of the foregoing.
In relation to issues by the Syndicate Members or t heir affiliates of any listed securities having
our H Shares as their underlying securities, whe ther on the Stock Exchange or on any other stock
exchange, the rules of the stock exchange may require the issuer of those securities (or one of its
affiliates or agents) to act as a market maker or liq uidity provider in the security, and this will also
result in hedging activity i n our H Shares in most cases.
All these activities may occur both during and a fter the end of the stabilizing period described
in the section headed ‘‘Structure of the Global Offeri ng’’. Such activities may affect the market price
or value of our H Shares, the liquidity or tradin g volume in our H Shares and the volatility of the
price of our H Shares, and the extent to which this occurs from day to day cannot be estimated.
It should be noted that when engaging in any of these activities, the Syndicate Members and
their affiliates will be subject to certain restrictions, including the following:
(a) the Syndicate Members and their affiliate s (other than the Stabilizing Manager or any
person acting for it) must not, in connectio n with the distribution of the Offer Shares,
effect any transactions (including issuing or entering into any option or other derivative
transactions relating to the Offer Shares), w hether in the open market or otherwise, with a
view to stabilizing or maintaining the market price of any of the Offer Shares at levels
other than those which might otherwise prevail in the open market; and
(b) the Syndicate Members and their affiliate s must comply with all applicable laws and
regulations, including the market miscond uct provisions of the SFO, including the
provisions prohibiting insider dealing, fa lse trading, price rigging and stock market
manipulation.
Some of the Syndicate Members or their affilia tes have provided from time to time, and are
expected to provide to our Group investment banking and other services in the future for which the
Syndicate Members or their affiliates have receive d or will receive customary fees and commissions.
In addition, the Syndicate Members or their aff iliates may provide financing to investors to
finance their subscriptions of Offer Shares in the Global Offering.

allocation may vary, depending on the number of Hong Kong Offer Shares validly applied for by
applicants. The allocation of Hong Kong Offer Shares could, where appropriate, consist of
balloting, which would mean that some applicants may receive a higher allocation than others who
have applied for the same number of Hong Kong Offer Shares, and those applicants who are not
successful in the ballot may not receive any Hong Kong Offer Shares.
For allocation purposes only, the total number of Hong Kong Offer Shares available under the
Hong Kong Public Offering (after taking into acc ount any reallocation referred to below) will be
divided equally (to the nearest board lot) into two pools: Pool A and Pool B (with any odd lots being
a l l o c a t e dt op o o lA ) .
. Pool A : The Hong Kong Offer Shares in Pool A will be allocated on an equitable basis to
applicants who have applied for Hong Kong Offer Shares with a total price of HK$5
million or less (excluding the brokerage fe e, the SFC transaction levy, the AFRC
transaction levy and the Stock Exchange trading fee).
. Pool B : The Hong Kong Offer Shares in Pool B will be allocated on an equitable basis to
applicants who have applied for Hong Kong O ffer Shares with a total price of more than
HK$5 million and up to the total value of Pool B (excluding the brokerage fee, the SFC
transaction levy, the AFRC transaction levy and the Stock Exchange trading fee).
For the purpose of the immediately preceding pa ragraph only, the ‘‘price’’ for the Hong Kong
Offer Shares means the price payable on application. See the subsection headed’’ — Pricing — Price
Payable on Application’’ below.
Applicants should be aware that applicatio ns in Pool A and Pool B are likely to receive
different allocation ratios. If Hong Kong Offer Shares in one pool (but not both pools) are
undersubscribed, the unsubscribed Hong Kong Offer Shares will be transferred to the other pool to
satisfy demand in that other po ol and be allocated accordingly.
Applicants can only receive an allocation of Hong Kong Offer Shares from either Pool A or
Pool B but not from both pools. Multiple or suspect ed multiple applications and any application for
m o r et h a n5 7 3 , 2 0 0H o n gK o n gO f f e rS h a r e s( b e i n gapproximately 50% of the Offer Shares initially
made available under the Hong Kong P ublic Offer) will be rejected.
Reallocation
The Offer Shares to be offered in the Hong Kong Public Offering and the International
Offering may, in certain circumstances, be reallocated as between these offerings at the discretion of
the Overall Coordinators. Subject to the allocation cap described in the subsequent paragraph, the
Overall Coordinators may in their discretion reallo cate Offer Shares from the International Offering
to the Hong Kong Public Offering to satisfy valid applications under the Hong Kong Public
Offering. In addition, if the Hong Kong Public Offering is not fully subscribed, the Overall
Coordinators will have the discretion (but shall not be under any obligation) to reallocate to the
International Offering all or any unsubscribed Hong Kong Offer Shares in such amounts as they
deem appropriate. In each case, the additional Offer Shares reallocated to the Hong Kong Public
Offering will be allocated between Pool A and Po ol B and the number of Offer Shares allocated to
the International Offering will be correspondingly reduced in such manner as the Overall
Coordinators deem appropriate.

In the event of reallocation of Offer Shares bet ween the International Offering and the Hong
Kong Public Offering in the circumstances wher e (a) the International Offer Shares are fully
subscribed or oversubscribed and the Hong Kong Offer Shares are fully subscribed or
oversubscribed irrespective of the number of t imes; or (b) the International Offer Shares are
undersubscribed and the Hong Kong Offer Shares are fully subscribed or oversubscribed irrespective
of the number of times, then up to 573,100 Offer Sha res may be reallocated from the International
Offering to the Hong Kong Public Offering, so tha t the total number of Offer Shares available for
subscription under the Hong Kong Public Offeri ng will increase up to 1,719,600 Offer Shares,
representing approximately 15% of the number of Offe r Shares initially available under the Global
Offering (before exercise of the Over-allotmen t Option) in accordance with Chapter 4.14 of the
Guide for New Listing Applicants. In the circumst ance where the International Offer Shares are fully
subscribed or oversubscribed and the Hong Kong Offer Shares are undersubscribed, there will be no
reallocation from the International Offering to the Hong Kong Public Offering, and no
over-allocation of H Shares to the Hong Kong Public Offering.
Given the initial allocation of the Offer Sha res to the Hong Kong Public Offering and the
International Offering follows M echanism B set out under paragraph 2 of Chapter 4.14 of the Guide
and the provision of Paragraph 4.2(b) of Practice Note 18 of the Listing Rules, no mandatory
clawback or reallocation mechanism is required t o increase the number of Offer Shares under the
Hong Kong Public Offering to a cer tain percentage of the total numb er of Offer Shares offered under
the Global Offering. Details of any reallocation of Offer Shares between the Hong Kong Public
Offering and the International Offering will be di sclosed in the results announcement of the Global
Offering, which is expected to be published on Fri day, June 12, 2026. Where the International Offer
Shares are undersubscribed, if the Hong Kong Offer Shares are also undersubscribed, the Global
Offering will not proceed unless th e Underwriters would subscribe or procure subscribers for their
respective applicable proportions of the Offer Sha res being offered which are not taken up under the
Global Offering on the terms and conditions of this Prospectus and the Underwriting Agreements.
Applications
Each applicant under the Hong Kong Public Offering will be required to give an undertaking
a n dc o n f i r m a t i o ni nt h ea p p l i c a t i o ns u b m i t t e db ythat applicant that it/he/she and any person(s) for
whose benefit the applicant is mak ing the application have not applied for or taken up, or indicated
an interest for, and will not apply for or take up, or in dicate an interest for, any International Offer
Shares under the International Offering, and that applicant’s application under the International
Offering is liable to be rejected if either or both of the undertaking and confirmation are breached or
untrue (as the case may be).
THE INTERNATIONAL OFFERING
Number of H Shares Initially Offered
The International Offering will consist of an o ffering of initially 10,317,600 H Shares at the
Offer Price for subscription or sale under the International Offering, representing approximately
90.0% of the total number of Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering. Subject to
the reallocation of the Offer Shares between the I nternational Offering and the Hong Kong Public
Offering, the number of H Shares initially offered u nder the International Offering will represent
13.09% of the total H Shares in issue immediately following the completion of the Global Offering
(assuming the Over-allotmen t Option is not exercised).
STRUCTURE OF THE GLOBAL OFFERING

Allocation
The International Offering will include selecti ve marketing of Offer Shares to institutional and
professional investors and other investors anticipated to have a sizeable demand for the Offer Shares
in Hong Kong and other jurisdictions outside th e United States in reliance on Regulation S.
Professional investors generally include broke rs, dealers, companies (in cluding fund managers)
whose ordinary business involves dealing in shares a nd other securities and corporate entities that
regularly invest in shares and other securities.
Allocation of Offer Shares under the Internation al Offering will be effected in accordance with
the ‘‘book-building’’ process described in the se ction headed ‘‘— Pricing — Determining the Offer
Price’’ and based on a number of factors, includin g the level and timing of demand, total size of the
relevant investor’s invested assets or equity assets in the relevant sector and whether or not it is
expected that the relevant investor is likely to buy further H Shares, and/or hold or sell its H Shares,
after the Listing. This basis of allocation is intend ed to result in a distribution of the Offer Shares
w h i c hi sl i k e l yt ol e a dt ot h ee s t a b l i s h m e n to fas olid and stable professional and institutional
shareholder base to the benefit of our Group and our Shareholders as a whole.
The Overall Coordinators (on behalf of the Underwriters) may require any investor who has
been offered (or has indicated an interest for) Offe r Shares under the International Offering and who
has made an application under the Hong Kong Public Offering to provide sufficient information to
the Overall Coordinators so as to allow them to ide ntify the relevant applications under the Hong
Kong Public Offering and to ensure that they are excluded from any allocation of Offer Shares under
the International Offering.
Reallocation
The total number of Offer Shares to be issued or sold pursuant to the International Offering
may change as a result of any reallocation of Offer Shares between the Hong Kong Public Offering
and the International Offering as described i n the subsection headed ‘‘— The Hong Kong Public
Offering — Reallocation’’, and the exercise of the Over-allotment Option in whole or in part as
described in the subsection headed ‘‘— Over-allotment Option’’ below.
PRICING OF THE GLOBAL OFFERING
The International Underwriters will be solicit ing from prospective investors indications of
interest in acquiring Offer Share s in the International Offering. Prospective professional and
institutional investors will be required to specify the number of H Shares under the International
Offering they would be prepared to acquire either at different prices or at a particular price. This
process, known as ‘‘book-building’’, is expected to continue up to, and to cease on or about, the last
day for lodging applications unde r the Hong Kong Public Offering.
The Offer Price will be HK$43.58 per Offer Share unless otherwise announced.
The Overall Coordinators (for themselves and on behalf of the Underwriters) may, where they
deem appropriate, based on the level of interes t expressed by prospective investors during the
book-building process in resp ect of the International Offering, and with the consent of the
Company, reduce the number of Offer Shares offe red under the Global Offering and/or the Offer
Price as stated in this prospectus at any time on or prior to the morning of the last day for lodging
applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. In such a case, we will, as soon as practicable
following the decision to make such reduction, an d in any event not later than the morning of the
last day for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering, cause to be published on the
websites of the Company and the Stock Exchange at
www.liuliumei.com and www.hkexnews.hk ,
respectively, an announcement t o cancel and relaunch the Global Offering at the revised number of
Offer Shares and/or the revised Offer Price and the requirements under Rule 11.13 of the Listing
Rules (which include the issue of a supplemental prospectus or a new prospectus (as appropriate)).
Upon issue of such announcement or supplemental prospectus (as appropriate), the number of Offer

Shares offered in the Global Offering and/or the rev ised Offer Price will be final and conclusive, and
the Offer Price, if agreed upon by the Overall Coordinators (for themselves and on behalf of the
Underwriters) and the Company, will be fixed. Th e Global Offering must first be canceled and
subsequently relaunched on FINI pursuant to the supplemental prospectus.
Before submitting applications for the Hong Ko ng Offer Shares, applic ants should have regard
to the possibility that any announcement or su pplemental prospectus or new prospectus (as
appropriate) of a reduction in the number of Offer Shares and/or the Offer Price may not be made
until the day which is the last day for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. In
the absence of any such announcement or cancelation and relaunch of offer, the number of Offer
Shares and/or the Offer Price will not be reduced.
The Hong Kong Offer Shares and the International Offer Shares may, in certain circumstances,
be reallocated as between the Hong Kong Public Offering and International Offering at the
discretion of the Overall Coordinators. The level of applications in the Hong Kong Public Offering,
the level of indications of interest in the International Offering, the basis of allocations of the Hong
Kong Offer Shares and the results of applications in the Hong Kong Public Offering are expected to
be announced on Friday, June 12, 2026 through a variety of channels described in the paragraph
headed ‘‘How to Apply for the Hong Kong Offe r Shares — Publication of Results’’ in this
prospectus.
OVER-ALLOCATION
Following any over-allocation of H Shares i n connection with the Global Offering, the
Stabilizing Manager (or any person acting for it) m ay cover the over-alloca tion through delayed
delivery arrangements with investors who have been allocated Offer Shares in the International
Offering. The delayed delivery arrangements (if s pecifically agreed to by an investor) relate only to
the delay in the delivery of the Offer Shares to suc h investor and the Offer Price for the Offer Shares
allocated to such investor will be fully paid prior t o Listing, accordingly there will be no delayed
settlement of payment of the Offer Shares. Addition al Offer Shares may be issued by the exercise of
the Over-allotment Option in full or in part, or th e Stabilizing Manager (or any person acting for it)
may purchase H Shares in the secondary market at prices that do not exceed the Offer Price, or a
combination of these means may be used, to return to such investor the Offer Shares subject to
delayed delivery arrangements.
OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION
In connection with the Global Offering, we m ay grant the Over-allotment Option to the
International Underwriters, exercisable by the Overall Coordinators in their sole and absolute
discretion on behalf of the International Underwriters.
Pursuant to the Over-allotment Option (if grante d), the International Underwriters have the
right, exercisable by the Overall Coordinators (in their sole and absolute discretion on behalf of the
International Underwriters) at any time from the Listing Date until 30 days from the last day for the
making of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering (being the last day for the exercise of
the Over-allotment Option, which is Friday, Ju ly 10, 2026), to require us to allot and issue up to
1,719,600 additional Offer Shares representin g not more than 15% of the total number of Offer
Shares initially available under the Global Offering , at the Offer Price, to cover over-allocations in
the International Offering.
If the Over-allotment Option is exercised in fu ll, the additional Offer Shares will represent
approximately 2.14% of the enlarged total number of H Shares in issue immediately following
completion of the Global Offering and the exerci se of the Over-allotment Option. We will make an
announcement if the Over-allotment Option is exercised.

STABILIZATION
Stabilization is a practice used by underwriters in some markets to facilitate the distribution of
securities. To stabilize, the underwriters may bid for, or purchase, the securities in the secondary
market, during a specified period of time, to retard, and if possible, prevent a decline in the market
price of the securities below the offer price. Such transactions may be effected in all jurisdictions
w h e r ei ti sp e r m i t t e dt od os o ,i ne a c hc a s ei nc o m pliance with all applicable laws and regulatory
requirements, including those of Hong Kong. In H ong Kong, the price at which stabilization is
effected cannot exceed the offer price of shares.
In connection with the Global Offering, the Stab ilizing Manager (or any person acting for it),
on behalf of the Underwriters, may over-alloca te or effect short sales or any other stabilizing
transactions with a view to stabilizing or maint aining the market price of our H Shares at a level
higher than that which might othe rwise prevail for a limited period a fter the Listing Date. However,
there is no obligation on the Stabilizing Manager ( or its affiliates or any person acting for it) to
conduct any stabilizing action. Such stabilizing a ctions, if taken, (a) will be conducted at the
absolute discretion of the Stabilizing Manager (o r its affiliates or any person acting for it) and in
what the Stabilizing Manager reas onably regards as being in the best interest of our Company, (b)
may be discontinued at any time and (c) is requir ed to end within 30 days of the last day for making
applications under the Ho ng Kong Public Offering.
Stabilizing actions permitted in Hong Kong pu rsuant to the Securiti es and Futures (Price
Stabilizing) Rules (Chapter 571W of the Laws of H ong Kong) include (a) over-allocating for the
purpose of preventing or minimiz ing any reduction in the market price of our H Shares, (b) selling or
agreeing to sell our H Shares so as to establish a short position in them for the purpose of preventing
or minimizing any reduction in the market price o f our H Shares, (c) subscribing, or agreeing to
subscribe, for our H Shares pursuant to the Over-a llotment Option in order to close out any position
established under (a) or (b), (d) purchasing, o r agreeing to purchase, our H Shares for the sole
purpose of preventing or minimizin g any reduction in the market pric e of our H Shares, (e) selling or
agreeing to sell our H Shares to liquidate a long position held as a result of those purchases and (f)
offering or attempting to do anything described in (b), (c), (d) or (e).
Specifically, prospective app licants for and investors in the Offer Shares should note that:
(a) the Stabilizing Manager (or its affiliates or a ny person acting for i t) may, in connection
with the stabilizing action, maintain a long position in our H Shares;
(b) there is no certainty as to the extent to which and the time or period for which the
Stabilizing Manager (or its affiliates or any pe rson acting for it) will maintain such a long
position;
(c) liquidation of any long position by the Stab ilizing Manager (or its affiliates or any person
acting for it) and selling in the open mark et may have an adverse impact on the market
price of our H Shares;
(d) no stabilizing action can be taken to suppo rt the price of our H Shares for longer than the
stabilizing period, which will begin on the Listing Date and is expected to expire on
Friday, July 10, 2026 (being the 30th day after the last day for making applications under
the Hong Kong Public Offering). After this d ate, when no further stabilizing action may
be taken, demand for our H Shares, and therefore the price of our H Shares, could fall;
(e) stabilizing activities by the Stabilizing Man ager (or any person acting for it) may stabilize,
maintain or otherwise affect the market pric e of our Shares. This means the price of our
Shares may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market;
(f) the price of our H Shares cannot be assured to stay at or above the Offer Price by the
taking of any stabilizing action; and
STRUCTURE OF THE GLOBAL OFFERING
–2 1 8–


--- page 228 ---
(g) stabilizing bids may be made or transactions effected in the course of the stabilizing action
at any price at or below the Offer Price, whi ch means that stabilizing bids may be made or
transactions effected at a price below the pr ice paid by applicants for, or investors in,
acquiring the Offer Shares.
We will make an announcement in compliance with the Securities and Futures (Price
Stabilizing) Rules (Chapter 571W of the Laws of Ho ng Kong) within seven days of the expiration of
the stabilizing period.

shares of the Company on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited

Directors’ responsibility for the H istorical Financial Information
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Historical

internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the

to report our opinion to you. We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong

Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the
reporting accountants’ judgement, including the assessment of risks of material
misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In
making those risk assessments, the reporting ac countants consider internal control relevant
to the entity’s preparation of the Historical F inancial Information that gives a true and fair
view in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2.1 to the Historical
Financial Information, in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the entity’s internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the
directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial
Information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion.
Opinion

December 2025.
2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Historical Financial Information has been prep ared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards,
which comprise all standards and interpretations appr oved by the International Accounting Standards Board
(the ‘‘IASB ’’). All IFRS Accounting Standards effective for the accounting period commencing from 1 January
2025, together with the relevant transitional pro visions, have been early adopted by the Group in the
preparation of the Historical Financial Inf ormation throughout the Relevant Periods.
The Historical Financial Information has been prep ared under the historical cost convention, except for
financial assets at FVOCI and financial liabilit ies at FVTPL which have been measured at fair value.
Basis of consolidation
The Historical Financial Information include the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries for the Relevant Periods. A subsidiary is an entity (including a struc tured entity), directly or
indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is ach ieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to
variable returns from its involvement with the invest ee and has the ability to affect those returns through
its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that gi ve the Group the current ability to direct the relevant
activities of the investee).
Generally, there is a presumption that a majori ty of voting rights results in control. When the
Company has less than a majority of the voting or simi lar rights of an investee, the Group considers all
relevant facts and circumstances in assessing w hether it has power over an investee, including:
(a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
(b) rights arising from other c ontractual arrangements; and
(c) the Group’s voting rights a nd potential voting rights.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries ar e prepared for the same reporting period as the
Company, using consistent accounting policies. The res ults of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date
on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control
ceases.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
–I - 1 6–


--- page 259 ---
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of
the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling inter ests, even if this results in the non-controlling
interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group asse ts and liabilities, equity, i ncome, expenses and cash
flows relating to transactions be tween members of the Group are elim inated in full on consolidation.
The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an in vestee if facts and circumstances indicate that
there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control described above. A change in the
ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of c ontrol, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it dereco gnises the related assets (including goodwill),
liabilities, any non-controlling interest and the excha nge fluctuation reserve; and recognises the fair value
of any investment retained and any resulting surp lus or deficit in profit or loss. The Group’s share of
components previously recognised in other compreh ensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or
retained profits, as appropriate, on the same basis a s would be required if the Group had directly disposed
of the related assets or liabilities.
2.2 ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE IFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Group has not applied the following new and rev ised IFRS Accounting Standards, that have been
issued but are not yet effective, in the Historical Fina ncial Information. The Group intends to apply these new
and revised IFRS Accounting Standards, if applicable, when they become effective.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

IFRS 19 and its amendments Subsidiaries without Public A ccountability: Disclosures 2
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of
Financial Instruments 1
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity 1
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its

Amendments to IFRS 21 Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency 2
Annual Improvements to IFRS
Accounting Standards — Volume 11
Amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and
IAS 7 1
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026
2 Effective for annual/reporting peri ods beginning on or after 1 January 2027
3 No mandatory effective date yet determined but available for adoption
The Group is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of these new and revised IFRS
Accounting Standards upon initial application. IFRS 18 introduces new requirement s for presentation within
the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive i ncome, including specified totals and subtotals. It also
requires disclosure of management- defined performance measures in a note and includes new requirements for
aggregation and disaggregation of financial informat ion. Narrow scope amendments have been made to IAS 7
Statement of Cash Flows , and some requirements previously included within IAS 1 have been moved to IAS 8,
which has been renamed IAS 8 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements . The new requirements are expected
to impact the Group’s presentation in the statement o f profit or loss and other comprehensive income and
disclosures of the Group’s financial performance. Curre ntly, the Group considers that these new and revised
IFRS Accounting Standards would not have a significa nt impact on the Group’s financial performance and
financial position.

2.3 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fair value measurement
The Group measures its financial assets at FVOCI a nd financial liabilities at FVTPL at fair value at
the end of each of the reporting periods. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value measurement is based on the presumpti on that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer
the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a
principal market, in the most advantageous market fo r the asset or liability. The principal or the most
advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. Th e fair value of an asset or a liability is measured
using the assumptions that market participants woul d use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming
that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset ta kes into account a market participant’s ability
to generate economic benefits by using the asset in i ts highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are a ppropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, m aximising the use of relevant observable inputs and
minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is me asured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorised within the fair value hierarchy, descr ibed as follows, based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 – based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in acti ve markets for identica l assets or liabilities
Level 2 – based on valuation techniques for whic h the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement is observa ble, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 – based on valuation techniques for whic h the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in th e financial statements on a recurring basis, the
Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing
categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole)
at the end of each of the reporting periods.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Where an indication of impairment exists, or w hen annual impairment testing for an asset is
required (other than inventories, deferred tax assets and financial assets), the asset’s recoverable amount is
estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the highe r of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use
and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determ ined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not
generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which
case the recoverable amount is determined for the ca sh-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised only if the carry ing amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable
amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated futu re cash flows are discounted to their present value
using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current ma rket assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is char ged to profit or loss in the period in which it arises in
those expense categories consistent wi th the function of the impaired asset.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
–I - 1 8–


--- page 261 ---
An assessment is made at the end of each of th e reporting periods as to whether there is an
indication that previously recogn ised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If
such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is es timated. A previously recognised impairment loss of
an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine
the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would
have been determined (net of any depreciation/amor tisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for
the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairme nt loss is credited to profit or loss in the period in
which it arises.
Related parties
A party is considered to be related to the Group if:
(a) the party is a person or a close member of that person’s family and that person:
(i) has control or joint control over the Group;
(ii) has significant influence over the Group; or
(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or of a parent of the Group;
or
(b) the party is an entity where any of the following conditions applies:
(i) the entity and the Group are members of the same group;
(ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture o f the other entity (or of a parent, subsidiary
or fellow subsidiary of the other entity);
(iii) the entity and the Group are joint ventures of the same third party;
(iv) one entity is a joint venture of a third ent ity and the other entity is an associate of the
third entity;
(v) the entity is a post-employment benefit p lan for the benefit of employees of either the
Group or an entity related to the Group;
(vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a);
(vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significa nt influence over the entity or is a member of the
key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity); and
(viii) the entity, or any member of a group of whic h it is a part, provides key management
personnel services to the Group or to the parent of the Group.
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment, other than cons truction in progress, are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and any impairment l osses. The cost of an item of property, plant and
equipment comprises its purchase price and any dir ectly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its
working condition and location for its intended use.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
–I - 1 9–


--- page 262 ---
Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation,
such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.
In situations where the recognition criteria are sa tisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is
capitalised in the carrying amount of the asset as a repla cement. Where significant parts of property, plant
and equipment are required to be replaced at interval s, the Group recognises such parts as individual
assets with specific useful lives an d depreciates them accordingly.
D e p r e c i a t i o ni sc a l c u l a t e do nt h es t r a i g h t - l i n ebasis to write off the cost of each item of property,
plant and equipment to its residual value over its estim ated useful life. The principal annual rates used for
this purpose are as follows:
Category Principal annual rate
Estimated residual
value rate
Buildings 4.75% 5.00%
Plant and machinery 9.50% to 31.67% 5.00%
Furniture and fixtures 19.00% to 47.50% 5.00%
Motor vehicles 19.00% to 47.50% 5.00%
Electronic equipment 19.00% to 31.67% 5.00%
Building improvement 20.00% to 50.00% –
Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipm ent have different useful lives, the cost of that
item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Residual
values, useful lives and the depreciation method are r eviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each
financial year end.
An item of property, plant and equipment includi ng any significant part initially recognised is
derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised
is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset.
Construction in progress is stated at cost less an y impairment losses, and is not depreciated. It is
reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for
use.
Intangible assets (other than goodwill)
Intangible assets acquired separately are meas ured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of
intangible assets acquired in a business combination is the fair value at the date of acquisition. The useful
lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finit e or indefinite. Intangible a ssets with finite lives are
subsequently amortised over the useful economic li fe and assessed for impairment whenever there is an
indication that the intangible asset may be impaire d. The amortisation period and the amortisation
method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year end.
Software
Software is stated at cost less any impairment losses and is amortised on the straight-line basis over
its estimated useful life of 5 years. The software’s u seful life is based on the period over which future
economic benefits will be obtained by the Group. The t echnological lifespan of the software which can
produce economic benefits is 5 years.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
–I - 2 0–


--- page 263 ---
Licences
Purchased licences are stated at cost less any impairment losses and are amortised on the
straight-line basis over their estimated usef ul lives of 5 years, which is the licence period.
Research and development costs
All research costs are charged to profit or loss as incurred.
Expenditure incurred on projects to develop new p roducts is capitalised and deferred only when the
Group can demonstrate the technica l feasibility of completing the i ntangible asset so that it will be
available for use or sale, its inten tion to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will
generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the project and the ability to
measure reliably the expenditure du ring the development. Product development expenditure which does
not meet these criteria is expensed when incurred.
Leases
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or
contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right t o control the use of an identified asset for a period of
time in exchange for consideration.
Group as a lessee
The Group applies a single recognition and me asurement approach for all leases, except for
short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. T he Group recognises lease l iabilities to make lease
payments and right-of-use assets represent ing the right to use the underlying assets.
(a) Right-of-use assets
Right-of-use assets are recognised at the commencement date of the lease (that is the date the
underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less accumulated
depreciation and any impairment losses, and adjusted f or any remeasurement of le ase liabilities. The cost
of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabili ties recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and
lease payments made at or before the commencement dat e less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use
assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over th e shorter of the lease terms and the estimated useful
lives of the assets as follows:
Leasehold land 5t o5 0y e a r s
Office premises 2t o5y e a r s
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to th e Group by the end of the lease term or the cost
reflects the exercise of a purchase opt ion, depreciation is calculated usi ng the estimated useful life of the
asset.
(b) Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are recognised at the commencem ent date of the lease at the present value of lease
payments to be made over the lease term. The leas e payments include fixed payments (including
in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incenti ves receivable, variable lease payments that depend on
an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid unde r residual value guarantees. The lease payments
also include the exercise price of a purchase option r easonably certain to be exercised by the Group and
payments of penalties for termination of a lease, if th e lease term reflects the Group exercising the option
to terminate the lease. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised
as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
–I - 2 1–


--- page 264 ---
In calculating the present value of lease payments , the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at
the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabili ties is increased to reflect the accretion of interest
and reduced for the lease payments made. In additi on, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is
remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the le ase term, a change in lease payments (e.g., a change
to future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate) or a change in assessment of an
option to purchase the underlying asset.
(c) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognit ion exemption to its short-term leases of office
premises, pickling pools and warehouses (that is t hose leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less
from the commencement date and do not contain a pur chase option). It also applies the recognition
exemption for leases of low-value assets to leases to o ffice equipment that is considered to be of low value.
Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
Investments and other financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognit ion, as subsequently meas ured at amortised cost,
FVOCI, and FVTPL.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s
contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the
exception of trade receivables that do not contain a si gnificant financing component or for which the
Group has applied the practical expedient of not adjust ing the effect of a significant financing component,
the Group initially measures a financial asset at it s fair value plus in the case of a financial asset not at
FVTPL, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for
which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined
under IFRS 15 in accordance with the policies s et out for ‘‘Revenue recognition’’ below.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or FVOCI, it needs to
give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (‘‘ SPPI ’’) on the principal amount
outstanding. Financial assets with cash flows tha t are not SPPI are classified and measured at FVTPL,
irrespective of the business model.
The Group’s business model for managing financia l assets refers to how it manages its financial
assets in order to generate cash flows. The business m odel determines whether cash flows will result from
collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financi al assets, or both. Financial assets classified and
measured at amortised cost are held within a busines s model with the objective to hold financial assets in
order to collect contractual cash flows, while financ ial assets classified and measured at FVOCI are held
within a business model with the objective of both holdi ng to collect contractual cash flows and selling.
Financial assets which are not held within the aforeme ntioned business models are classified and measured
at FVTPL.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that requi re delivery of assets within the period generally
established by regulation or convention in the marke tplace are recognised on the trade date, that is, the
date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
–I - 2 2–


--- page 265 ---
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
Financial assets at amortised cost are subseque ntly measured using the effective interest
method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the
asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
Financial assets at FVOCI (debt instruments)
For debt investments at FVOCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and
impairment losses or reversals are recognised in profit or loss and computed in the same manner
as for financial assets measured at amortised cos t. The remaining fair value changes are recognised
in other comprehensive income. Upon derecogniti on, the cumulative fair value change recognised in
other comprehensive income is recycled to profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar
financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statements of
financial position) when:
. the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
. the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a
‘‘pass-through’’ arrangement; and either (a) t he Group has transferred substantially all the
risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all the risks and rewards of the a sset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a
pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to w hat extent, it has retained the risk and rewards of
ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards
of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the G roup continues to recognise the transferred asset to
the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also r ecognises an associated
liability. The transferred asset and the associated lia bility are measured on a basis that reflects the rights
and obligations that the Group has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a gu arantee over the transferred asset is measured at
the lower of the original carrying amount of the ass et and the maximum amount of consideration that the
Group could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (‘‘ ECLs ’’) for all debt instruments not
held at FVTPL. ECLs are based on the difference bet ween the contractual cash flows due in accordance
with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation
of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of
collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
–I - 2 3–


--- page 266 ---
General approach
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit ex posures for which there has not been a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default
events that are possible within the next 12 months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which
there has been a significant increase in credit risk sinc e initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for
credit losses expected over the rem aining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a
lifetime ECL).
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whethe r the credit risk on a financial instrument has
increased significantly since initial recognition. When making the assessment, the Group compares the
risk of a default occurring on the financial instrume nt as at the reporting date with the risk of a default
occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and
supportable information that is available wit hout undue cost or effort, including historical and
forward-looking information. The Group considers t hat there has been a significant increase in credit
risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.
The Group considers a financial asset in defaul t when contractual payments are 90 days past due.
However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or
external information indicates that the Group is unli kely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts
in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group.
A financial asset is written off when there is no rea sonable expectation of recovering the contractual
cash flows.
Debt investments at FVOCI and financial assets at amortised cost are subject to impairment under
the general approach and they are classified within the following stages for measurement of ECLs except
for trade receivables, which apply the si mplified approach as detailed below.
Stage 1 – Financial instruments for which credit ris k has not increased significantly since initial
recognition and for which the loss all owance is measured at an amount equal to
12-month ECLs
Stage 2 – Financial instruments for which credit r isk has increased significantly since initial
recognition but that are not credit-impai red financial assets and for which the loss
allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs
Stage 3 – Financial assets that are credit-impa ired at the reporting date (but that are not
purchased or originated credit-impaired) an d for which the loss allowance is measured
at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs
Write-off
The Group writes off a financial asset when there i s information indicating that the counterparty is
in severe financial difficulty and there is no rea listic prospect of recovery, for example, when the
counterparty has been placed under liquidation or ha s entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial
assets written off may still be subject to enforcemen t 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.

Simplified approach
For trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or when the Group
applies the practical expedient of not adjusting the effect of a significant fi nancing component, the Group
applies the simplified approach in calculating ECL s. Under the simplified approach, the Group does not
track changes in credit risk, but instead recogni ses a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each
reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss
experience, adjusted for forward- looking factors specific to the debt ors and the economic environment.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial reco gnition, as financial liabi lities at FVTPL, loans and
borrowings, or payables, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings
and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group’s financial liabilities i nclude financial liabilities at FV TPL, lease liabilities, trade and
bills payables, financial liabiliti es included in other payables and accruals, and interest-bearing bank
borrowings.
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial liabilit ies depends on their classification as follows:
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financia l liabilities designated upon initial recognition
as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL are designated at the
initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in IFRS 9 are satisfied. Gains or losses on
liabilities designated at FVTPL are recognised in profit or loss, except for the gains or losses arising
from the Group’s own credit risk which are pres ented in other comprehensive income with no
subsequent reclassifica tion to profit or loss. The net fair value gain or loss recognised in profit or
loss does not include any interest charged on these financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost ( trade and other payables, and borrowings)
After initial recognition, trade and other p ayables, and interest-bearing borrowings are
subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of
discounting would be immaterial, in which case t hey are stated at cost. Gains and losses are
recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective
interest rate amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into a ccount any discount or premium on acquisition
and fees or costs that are an integral part of the eff ective interest rate. The effective interest rate
amortisation is included in finance costs in profit or loss.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
–I - 2 5–


--- page 268 ---
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liab ility is discharged or
cancelled, or expires.
When an existing financial liabi lity is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially
different terms, or the terms of an existing liabili ty are substantially modified, such an exchange or
modification is treated as a derecognition of the orig inal liability and a recognition of a new liability, and
the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offs et and the net amount is reported in the consolidated
statements of financial position if there is a current ly enforceable legal right to offset the recognised
amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basi s, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the
weighted average cost basis and, in the case of wor k in progress and finished goods, comprises direct
materials, direct labour and an appr opriate proportion of overheads. Ne t realisable value is based on
estimated selling prices less any estimated co sts to be incurred to completion and disposal.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statements of fi nancial position comprise cash on hand and at
banks, and short-term highly liquid deposits with a ma turity of generally withi n three months that are
readily convertible into known amount s of cash, subject to an insignifi cant risk of changes in value and
held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise
cash on hand and at banks, and short-term deposits a s defined above, less bank overdrafts which are
repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.
Provisions
A provision is recognised when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a
past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation,
provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the effect of discounting is material, the am ount recognised for a provision is the present
value at the end of each of the reporting periods of th e future expenditures expected to be required to
settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time
is included in finance costs in profit or loss.
Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside
profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, ei ther in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured a t the amount expected to be recovered from or paid
to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of each of the reporting periods, taki ng into consideration interpretations and practices
prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates.
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability met hod, on all temporary differences at the end of each
of the reporting periods between the tax bases of ass ets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for
financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for a ll taxable temporary differences, except:
. when the deferred tax liabilit y arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or
liability in a transaction that is not a business c ombination and, at the time of the transaction,
affects neither the accounting p rofit nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal
taxable and deductible temporary differences; and
. in respect of taxable temporary differences asso ciated with investments in subsidiaries, when
the timing of the reversal of the temporary diffe rences can be controlled and it is probable that
the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductibl e temporary differences, and the carryforward of
unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profit will be available agains t which the deductible temporary differences, the
carryforward of unused tax credits and unus ed tax losses can be utilised, except:
. when the deferred tax asset relating to the deduc tible temporary differences arises from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a t ransaction that is not a business combination
and, at the time of the transaction, affects nei ther the accounting profit nor taxable profit or
loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences; and
. in respect of deductible temporary differences a ssociated with investments in subsidiaries,
deferred tax assets are only recognised to the e xtent that it is probable that the temporary
differences will reverse in the foreseeable fut ure and taxable profit will be available against
which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is revi ewed at the end of each of the reporting periods
and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to
allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at
the end of each of the reporting periods and are recogn ised to the extent that it has become probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be avai lable to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the
period when the asset is realised or the liability is set tled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each of the reporting periods.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabiliti es are offset if and only if the Group has a legally
enforceable right to set off current tax assets and cu rrent tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and
deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes le vied by the same taxation authority on either the same
taxable entity or different taxable ent ities which intend either to settle cu rrent tax liabilities and assets on
a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liab ilities simultaneously, in each future period in which
significant amounts of deferred t ax liabilities or ass ets are expected to be settled or recovered.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair val ue where there is reasonable assurance that the
grant will be received and all attaching conditions wi ll be complied with. When the grant relates to an
expense item, it is recognised as income on a systemati c basis over the periods that the costs, for which it is
intended to compensate, are expensed.
Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair val ue is credited to a deferred income account and is
released to profit or loss over the expected useful li fe of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments or
deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and released to profit or loss by way of a reduced
depreciation charge.
Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue from contracts with customers is recogn ised when control of goods is transferred to the
customers at an amount that reflects the considerat ion to which the Group expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods.
When the contract contains a financing component which provides the cust omer with a significant
benefit of financing the transfer of goods or services to the customer for more than one year, revenue is
measured at the present value of the amount receivable, discounted using the discount rate that would be
reflected in a separate financing transaction betwe en the Group and the customer at contract inception.
When the contract contains a financing component whic h provides the Group with a significant financial
benefit for more than one year, revenue recognised under the contract includes the interest expense
accreted on the contract liability under the effect ive interest method. For a contract where the period
between the payment by the customer and the tran sfer of the promised goods or services is one year or
less, the transaction price is not adjusted for the eff ects of a significant financing component, using the
practical expedient in IFRS 15.
When the consideration in a contract includes a var iable amount, the amount of consideration is
estimated to which the Group will be entitled in exchange for transferr ing the goods to the customer. The
variable consideration is estimated at contract incep tion and constrained until it is highly probable that a
significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the
associated uncertainty with the variable c onsideration is subsequently resolved.
Revenue from sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is
transferred to the customer, gener ally on delivery of the goods. The cost s of transporting finished goods to
customers are recognised in selling and distribution expenses when incurred.
Some contracts for the sale of goods provide custome rs with rights of return and volume rebates.
The rights of return and volume rebates give rise to variable consideration.
(a) Rights of return
For contracts which provide a customer with a rig ht to return the goods within a specified period,
the expected value method is used to estimate the goods that will not be returned because this method best
predicts the amount of variable consideration to whi ch the Group will be entitled. The requirements in
IFRS 15 on constraining estimates of variable consid eration are applied in order to determine the amount
of variable consideration that can be included in t he transaction price. For goods that are expected to be
returned, instead of revenue, a liability is recogn ised. A right-of-return asset (and the corresponding
adjustment to cost of sales) is also recognised for the right to recover products from a customer.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
–I - 2 8–


--- page 271 ---
(b) Volume rebates
Retrospective volume rebates may be provided t o certain customers once the quantity of products
purchased during the period exceeds a threshold sp ecified in the contract. Rebates are offset against
amounts payable by the customer. To estimate the var iable consideration for the expected future rebates,
the most likely amount method is used for contracts wit h a single-volume threshold and the expected value
method for contracts with more than one volume thre shold. The selected method that best predicts the
amount of variable consideration is primarily driv en by the number of volume thresholds contained in the
contract. The requirements on constraining estima tes of variable consideration are applied and a refund
liability for the expected future rebates is recognised.
Other income
Sale of scraps and raw materials is recognised a t the point in time when control of the asset is
transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the scraps and raw materials. Interest income is
recognised on an accrual basis using the effectiv e interest method by applying the rate that exactly
discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the ex pected life of the financial instrument or a shorter
period, when appropriate, to the net car rying amount of the financial asset.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is recognised when a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is
earlier) from a customer before the Group transfers th e related goods or services. Contract liabilities are
recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related
goods or services to the customer).
Share-based payments
The Company operates share incentive plans. Employees (including directors) of the Group receive
remuneration in the form of share-based payments, w hereby employees render services in exchange for
equity instruments (‘‘ equity-settled transactions ’’). The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees
is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is estimated
using different methods for each of the incentive plan s, further details of which are given in note 28 to the
Historical Financial Information.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recogn ised in employee benefit expense, together with a
corresponding increase in equity, over the period in wh ich the performance and/or service conditions are
fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognised for e quity-settled transacti ons at the end of each of the
Relevant Periods until the vesting date reflects the ex tent to which the vesting period has expired and the
Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instrument s that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit
to profit or loss for a period represents the movement in the cumulative expense recognised as at the
beginning and end of that period.
Service and non-market performance conditions ar e not taken into account when determining the
grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the
Group’s best estimate of the number of e quity instruments that will ultim ately vest. Market performance
conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but
without an associated service re quirement, are considered to be non- vesting conditions. Non-vesting
conditions are reflected in the fai r value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award
unless there are also service a nd/or performance conditions.
For awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance a nd/or service conditions
have not been met, no expense is recognised. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the
transactions are treated as vesting i rrespective of whether the market o r non-vesting conditi on is satisfied,
provided that all other performance a nd/or service conditions are satisfied.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
–I - 2 9–


--- page 272 ---
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are m odified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as
if the terms had not been modified, if the original te rms of the award are met. In addition, an expense is
recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payments, or is
otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an equity-settled
award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet
recognised for the award i s recognised immediately.
Other employee benefits
Pension scheme
The employees of the Group’s subsidiaries whic h operate in Chinese mai nland are required to
participate in a central pension scheme operate d by the local municipal government. The Group is
required to contribute a certain percentage of their p ayroll costs to the central pension scheme. The
contributions are charged to profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the
central pension scheme.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the ac quisition, construction or production of qualifying
assets, i.e., assets that necessarily take a substantia l period of time to get ready for their intended use or
sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those asset s. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases
when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are
expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borr owing costs consist of interest and other costs that
an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Events after the reporting period
If the Group receives information after the repor ting period, but prior to the date of authorisation
for issue, about conditions that existed at the end o f the reporting period, it will assess whether the
information affects the amounts that it recognises in it s financial statements. The Group will adjust the
amounts recognised in its financia l statements to reflect any adjusti ng events after the reporting period
and update the disclosures that relate to thos e conditions in light of the new information. For
non-adjusting events after the reporting period, the Group will not change the amounts recognised in its
financial statements, but will dis close the nature of the non-adjusting events and an estimate of their
financial effects, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made, if applicable.
Dividends
Final dividends are recognised as a liability when they are approved by the shareholders in a general
meeting. Interim dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared, because the Company’s
memorandum and articles of association grant the dir ectors the authority to decl are interim dividends.
Consequently, interim dividends are recognised i mmediately as a liability when they are proposed and
declared.
Foreign currencies
The Historical Financial Information is present ed in RMB, which is also the Company’s functional
currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the
financial statements of each ent ity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency
transactions recorded by the entities in the Group are i nitially recorded using their respective functional
currency rates prevailing at the dates of the transac tions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated at the functional c urrency rates of exchange ruling at the end of each of
the Relevant Periods. Differences arising on settlem ent or translation of monetary items are recognised in
profit or loss.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
–I - 3 0–


--- page 273 ---
Non-monetary items that are measured in term s of historical cost in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non- monetary items measured
at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value
was measured. The gain or loss arising on translat ion of a non-monetary item measured at fair value is
treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation
difference on the item whose fair value gain or loss is r ecognised in other comprehensive income or profit
or loss is also recognised in other comprehen sive income or profit or loss, respectively).
In determining the exchange rate on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income on the
derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to an adv ance consideration, the
date of initial transaction is the date on which the G roup initially recognises the non-monetary asset or
non-monetary liability arisi ng from the advance consideration. If th ere are multiple payments or receipts
in advance, the Group determines the transaction date for each payment or receipt of the advance
consideration.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Group’s Historical Finan cial Information requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect th e reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about
these assumptions and estimates c ould result in outcomes that could re quire a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following
judgements, apart from those invol ving estimations, which have the mos t significant effect on the amounts
recognised in the Historical Financial Information:
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair val ue where there is reasonable assurance that the
grant will be received and all attaching conditions wi ll be complied with. The Group applies judgement in
evaluating whether or not all attaching conditions will be complied with, taking into account of all
relevant factors, and the information available.
Estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and ot her key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
end of each of the Relevant Periods, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.
Variable consideration for volume rebates
The Group estimates variable consideration to be i ncluded in the transaction price for the sale of
goods with volume rebates.
The Group’s expected volume rebates are analysed on a per customer basis for contracts that are
subject to the volume threshold. Determining wheth e rac u s t o m e ri sl i k e l yt ob ee n t i t l e dt oar e b a t e
depends on the customer’s historical rebate ent itlement and accumulated purchases to date.
The Group updates its assessment of expected volu me rebates accordingly. Estimates of expected
volume rebates are sensitive to changes in circumst ances and the Group’s past experience regarding rebate
entitlements may not be representative of actual rebate entitlements in the future.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
–I - 3 1–

Provision for expected credit losses on trade receivabl es and financial assets included in prepayments, other
receivables and other assets
The Group uses external credit ratings and histor ical credit loss experience of the industry to
calculate ECLs for trade receivables under simplif ied approach and for financial assets included in
prepayments, other receivables and ot her assets under general approach.
The observed default rates of the industry are ad justed with forward-looking information. For
instance, if forecast economic conditi ons (i.e., total retail sales of social consumer goods) are expected to
deteriorate over the next year which can lead to an increased number of defaults in the industry, the
historical default rates are adjusted. At the end of ea ch of the reporting periods, the historical observed
default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking esti mates are analysed.
The assessment of the correlation among histor ical observed default rates, forecast economic
conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in
circumstances and forecast economic conditions. T he Group’s historical credit loss experience and
forecast of economic conditions may also not be repres entative of a customer’s actual default in the
future. The information about the ECLs on the Group’s trade receivables and financial assets included in
prepayments, other receivables and other assets is dis closed in notes 18 and 19 to the Historical Financial
Information, respectively.
Impairment of non-financial assets (other than goodwill)
The Group assesses whether there are any indica tors of impairment for all non-financial assets
(including the right-of-use assets) at the end of ea ch of the Relevant Periods. Non-financial assets are
tested for impairment when there are indicators th at the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An
impairment exists when the carrying value of an asse t or a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable
amount, which is the higher of its fair value less cos ts of disposal and its value in use. The calculation of
the fair value less costs of disposal is based on availa ble data from binding sale s transactions in an arm’s
length transaction of similar asse ts or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the
asset. When value in use calculations are undertake n, management must estimate the expected future cash
flows from the asset or cash-genera ting unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the
present value of those cash flows. Further detail s are set forth in note 14, note 15, note 16 and note 19 to
the Historical Financial Information.
Provision for inventories
The Group’s inventories are stated at the lowe r of cost and net realisable value. The Group’s
provision for its inventories is based on estimates of the realisable value with reference to the ageing and
condition of the inventories, together with the ec onomic circumstances on the marketability of such
inventories. Inventories are reviewed on regular bas is for provision, if appropriate. Further details of the
inventories are set out in note 17 to the Historical Financial Information.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax l osses to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the losses can b e utilised. Significant management judgement is
required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely
timing and level of future taxable profits together wit h future tax planning strategies. Further details are
contained in note 25 to the Historical Financial Information.

The Group’s trading terms with some customers are on credit. The credit term is generally one month,
extending up to 30 to 60 days for major customers. Each customer has a maximum credit limit. The Group seeks
to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivab les. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior
management. In view of the aforementioned and the fac t that the Group’s trade receivables relate to a large
number of diversified customers, there is no significa nt concentration of credit risk. The Group does not hold
any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade receivable balances. Trade receivables are
non-interest-bearing.
All bills receivable of the Group are bank acceptance b ills aged within 6 months. The Group considers
that there is no material credit risk in the bank acceptance bills held by the Group.
An ageing analysis of the trade receivables of the G roup as at the end of each of the Relevant Periods,

An impairment test is performed at the end of each of t he reporting periods by referencing to an external
credit rating from Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s or assigning an internal credit rating with reference to the
historical record of the Group and comparing it with companies with published ratings to determine the
probability of default. Loss given default is estimated b ased on market information and is adjusted to reflect the
effect of credit enhancement and other information of the specific debtors. The loss rate is then adjusted to
reflect the current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions, as appropriate. Generally, trade
receivables are written off when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial
difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery.

Transfers of financial assets
Transferred financial assets that are not derecognised in their entirety
At 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025, the Group endorsed certain bills receivable accepted by banks
in Chinese mainland (the ‘‘ Endorsed Bills ’’) with carrying amounts of RMB2,012,000, RMB1,967,000 and
RMB1,806,000, respectively, to certa in of its suppliers in order to settle the trade payables due to such
suppliers (the ‘‘ Endorsement ’’). In the opinion of the Company’s directors, the Group has retained the
substantial risks and rewards, which include default risks relating to su ch Endorsed Bills, and accordingly,
it continued to recognise the full carrying amounts of t he Endorsed Bills and the associated trade payables
settled. Subsequent to the Endorsement, the Group did not retain any rights on the use of the Endorsed
Bills, including the sale, transfer or pledge of the Endorsed Bills to any other third parties.
Transferred financial assets that are derecognised in their entirety
At 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025, the Group endorsed certain bills receivable accepted by banks
in Chinese mainland (the ‘‘ Derecognised Bills ’’) to certain of its suppliers in order to settle the trade
payables due to such suppliers with carrying am ounts in aggregate of RMB29,977,000, RMB28,628,000
and RMB49,078,000, respectively. The Derecognised Bills had a maturity of one to nine months at the end
of each of the Relevant Periods. In accordance with the Law of Negotiable Instruments in the PRC, the
holders of the Derecognised Bills may exercise the right of recourse against any, several or all of the
persons liable for the Derecognised Bills, including th e Group, in disregard of the order of precedence (the
‘‘Continuing Involvement ’’). In the opinion of the directors, the risk of the Group being claimed by the
holders of the Derecognised Bills is remote in the absence of a default of the accepted banks. The Group
has transferred substantia lly all risks and rewards relating to the De recognised Bills. Accordingly, it has
derecognised the full carrying amounts of the Dereco gnised Bills and the associated trade payables. The
maximum exposure to loss from the Group’s Continuing Involvement in the Derecognised Bills and the
undiscounted cash flows to repurchase these Derecogn ised Bills is equal to their carrying amounts. In the
opinion of the directors, the fair values of the Group’s C ontinuing Involvement in the Derecognised Bills
are not significant.
During the years ended 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025, the Group has not recognised any gain or
loss on the date of transfer of the Derecognised B ills. No gains or losses were recognised from the
Continuing Involvement, both during the years or c umulatively. The endorse ment has been made evenly
throughout the years.
The aggregate amounts of the trade payables settl ed by the bills receivable to which the suppliers
have recourse and were matured were RMB25, 655,000, RMB39,455,000, and RMB35,473,000 during the
years ended 31 December 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

Presentation and classification
The Company recognised the Series A Shares, Seri es D1 Shares, Series D2 Shares, and for Series B
Shares, Series C1 Shares and Series C2 Shares, prio r to the execution of the Termination Agreement,
issued to the investors as financial liabilities at FVTP L and classified them as liabilities, because not all
triggering payment events mentioned in the key te rms above were within the control of the Company and
these financial instruments did not meet the definitio n of equity for the Company. Financial liabilities are
measured at fair value and any changes in the fair value of the financial liabilities were recorded in ‘‘Fair
value loss on financial liabilities at FVTPL’’ in the c onsolidated statements of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income. The directors of the Company c onsidered that the changes in the fair value of the
Series A Shares, Series B Shares, Series C1 Share s, Series C2 Shares, Series D1 Shares and Series D2
Shares attributable to the changes in credit risk of the Group were minimal.
Upon the execution of the Termina tion Agreement, the redemption rights and other preferential
rights granted by the Company to Series B Shares, Series C1 Shares and Series C2 Shares investors were
terminated. The financial liabiliti es at FVTPL were then derecognised an d reclassified to capital reserve as
the substance of the transaction is a shareholder’s transaction.

2025, respectively. The Company held a shareholders’ meeting and approved the resolution to
increase the registered capital and completed ac cordingly the business registration in January
2025 and February 2025, respectively.
For Series A Shares, Series B Shares, Series C1 an d C2 Shares, the Company applied the discounted
cash flow method (‘‘ DCF’’) to determine the underlying share value of the Company and performed an
equity allocation based on the hybrid method to arri ve at the fair value of the investors’ shares at the end
of each of the Relevant Periods with reference to valuation reports carried out by PG Advisory (‘‘ PGA’’),
an independent qualified valuer. The hybrid method is a hybrid between the probability-weighted
expected return method (‘‘ PWERM ’’) and the option pricing method (‘‘ OPM’’), estimating the
probability-weighted value across multiple scenar ios while using the OPM to estimate the allocation of
value within one or more of those scenarios.

f o rS e r i e sD 1S h a r e s .
The investment consideration of Series D2 Shares was received by the Company on 3 January 2025.

and shall not make any agreement with any third party on the disposal of the restricted shares (including but not
l i m i t e dt ot h et r a n s f e ro fs h a r e s ,p l edge or transfer of income rights).
For the restricted shares granted in 2025, the lock- up period for the Company’s restricted shares shall

finance department analyses the movements in the valu es of financial instruments and determines the major
inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation is revi ewed and approved by the chief financial officer.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilit ies are included at the amount at which the instrument
could be exchanged in a current transa ction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The fair values of the financial assets at FVOCI have been calculated by discounting the expected future
cash flows. The financial assets at FVOCI which are bil ls receivable from certain prestigious banks, are held by
the Group with a dual focus: collecting the expected cash flows and exploring opportunities for sale. The
changes in fair value as at 31 December 2023 and 2024 were assessed to be insignificant.
The fair values of the redemption lia bilities on equity shares measured at FVTPL are determined using the
discounted cash flow model or recent transaction price valuation method. Further details are set out in note 24
to the Historical Financial Information.

II. PRC JUDICIAL SYSTEM
Under the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China and the Organic Law of the
People’s Court of the People’s Republic of China ( 《中華人民共和國人民法院組織法》)w h i c h
was promulgated on July 5, 1979, implemented on January 1, 1980 and last amended on
October 26, 2018 and took effect on January 1, 2019, the judicial system in PRC is made up
of the Supreme People’s Court, the local peopl e’s courts, military courts and other special
people’s courts.
The local people’s courts are comprised of the basic people’s courts, the intermediate
people’s courts and the higher people’s courts. The basic people’s courts may be organized
into civil, criminal, and economic tribunals. The intermediate people’s courts may be
organized into divisions similar to those of the basic people’s courts, and may be further
organized into other special divisions. The peo ple’s courts at lower levels are subject to the
supervision of the people’s courts at higher levels. The Supreme People’s Court is the
highest judicial organ of the PRC and it has the power to supervise the administration of
justice by the local people’s courts at all levels and all special people’s courts. The people’s
procuratorates also have the right to exercise legal supervision over the trial activities of
people’s courts at same or lower levels.
The people’s courts adopt a ‘‘second instance as final’’ appellate system in the trail of
the cases. A party to the case concerned may appeal against the judgement and ruling of the
first instance by the local people’s courts to the people’s courts at the next higher level in
accordance with the legal procedures. The people’s procuratorates may appeal to the
people’s court at the next higher level in accordance with the legal procedures. In the
absence of any appeal by any parties to the case concerned or any appeal by the people’s
procuratorates within the stipulated period, the judgement and ruling of the first instance
by the local people’s courts shall be final and legally binding. Judgements and rulings of the
second instance of the intermediate people’s courts, the higher people’s courts and Supreme
APPENDIX IV SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY PROVISIONS
–I V - 3–


--- page 341 ---
People’s Court and the judgements and rulings of the first instance of the Supreme People’s
Court shall be the final judgements and rulings. If, however, the Supreme People’s Court
finds some definite errors in a legally effectiv e judgement, ruling or conciliation statement
of the people’s court at any level, or if the peop le’s court at a higher level finds such errors
in a legally effective judgement, ruling or con ciliation statement of the people’s court at a
lower level, it has the authority to review the case itself or to direct the lower-level people’s
court to conduct a retrial. If the chief judge of all levels of people’s courts finds some
definite errors in a legally effective judge ment, ruling or conciliation statement, and
considers that a retrial is preferred, such case shall be submitted to the judicial committee of
the people’s court at the same level for discuss ion and decision. For death penalties, except
those judged by the Supreme People’s Court, requests shall be submitted to the Supreme
People’s Court for approval.
T h eC i v i lP r o c e d u r eL a wo ft h eP R C( 《中華人民共和國民事訴訟法》) (hereinafter
referred to as the ‘‘ Civil Procedure Law ’’), which was promulgated on April 9, 1991 and last
amended on September 1, 2023 and took effect on January 1, 2024, sets forth the criteria for
instituting a civil case, the jurisdiction of the people’s courts, the procedures to be followed
for conducting a civil action and the procedures for enforcement of a civil judgement or
order. All parties to a civil action conducted within the PRC must comply with the Civil
Procedure Law. Generally, a civil case is initially heard by the people’s court located in the
defendant’s place of domicile. The parties to a contract may, by an express agreement, select
a competent court where civil actions may be brought, provided that the competent court
has jurisdiction over the plaintiff’s or the defendant’s place of residence, the place of
execution of the contract or the place of performance of the contract, or the object of the
action or locations which have substantial connections with the dispute. However, such
selection cannot violate the stipulations of hierarchical jurisdiction and exclusive
jurisdiction in any case.
A foreign individual, a stateless person, a foreign enterprise or a foreign organization
is given the equal litigation rights and oblig ations as a citizen, a legal person or other
organizations in the PRC when initiating acti ons or defending against litigations at a PRC
court. Should foreign courts impose restrictions on the litigation rights of the citizens, legal
persons or other organizations in the PRC, the PRC courts shall impose reciprocal
restrictions on the litigation rights of citizens, enterprises and organizations in that country.
A foreign individual, a stateless person, a for eign enterprise or a foreign organization must
engage a PRC lawyer in case he or it needs to engage a lawyer for the purpose of initiating
actions or defending against litigations at a PRC court. In accordance with the
international treaties to which the PRC is a s ignatory or participant or according to the
principle of reciprocity, a people’s court and a foreign court may request each other to serve
documents, conduct investigation and collect evidence or conduct other actions on its
behalf. All parties to a civil action shall pe rform the legally effective judgements and
r u l i n g s .I fa n yp a r t yt oac i v i la c t i o nr e f u s e st oa b i d eb yaj u d g e m e n to rr u l i n gm a d eb ya
people’s court or an award made by an arbitration tribunal in the PRC, the other party may
apply to the people’s court for the enforcement of the same within two years subject to
application for postponed enforcement or revocation. If a party fails to satisfy within the

–I V - 4–


--- page 342 ---
stipulated period a judgement which the court has granted an enforcement approval, the
court may, upon the application of the other party, mandatorily enforce the judgement on
the party.
A party seeking to enforce a judgement or order of a people’s court against a party who
is not located within the PRC and does not own any property in the PRC, may apply to a
foreign court with proper jurisdiction for reco gnition and enforcement of the judgement or
order. In the case of an application or request for recognition and enforcement of a legally
effective judgement or order of a foreign co urt, the people’s court shall, after having
examined it in accordance with the internation al treaties entered into or acceded to by the
PRC or with the principle of reciprocity and having arrived at the conclusion that it does
not contravene the primary principles of the laws of the PRC nor violates its sovereignty,
security or social and public interests, recogn ize the validity of the judgement or order, and,
if required, issue a writ of enforcement and enforce it in accordance with the relevant
regulations. If the application or request cont ravenes the primary principles of the laws of
the PRC or violates its sovereignty, security or social and public interests, the people’s court
shall not recognize and enforce it.

Incorporation
A company may be incorporated by promotion or subscription. A company may
be incorporated by a minimum of one but no more than 200 promoters, and at least
half of the promoters must have domicile in the PRC. Companies incorporated by
promotion are companies with the registered capital entirely subscribed for by the
promoters. Where companies are incorporated by subscription, the promoters are
required to subscribe for not less than 35% of the total number of shares of a company
unless otherwise stipulated by laws and re gulations, and the remaining shares can be
offered to the public or specific persons, unless otherwise required by law.
For a company incorporated by promotion, the registered capital shall be the
total capital subscribed for by all promoters as registered with the company
registration authority. The promoters shall subscribe in writing for the shares
required to be subscribed for by them and pay up their capital contributions under
the company’s articles of association. Proc edures relating to the transfer of title to
non-monetary property shall be duly completed if such assets are to be contributed as

and a Supervisory Committee shall be elected and the board of directors shall apply for

company registration authority, and other documents as required by the law or

After the subscription monies for the issued shares have been paid in full, a capital
verification institution established under PRC law must be engaged to conduct a
capital verification and furnish a certific ate thereof. The promoters shall convene an

a company, a promoter fails to pay in full the subscription monies in accordance with
the provisions of the company’s articles o f association, he/she shall pay them in full

on the bank interest rate for the corresponding period.
In cases where the company is not established, the legal consequences shall be
borne by the shareholders at the time of e stablishment; if there are two or more
shareholders at the time of establishment, th ey shall have joint and several claims and
bear joint and several liabilities.

--- page 362 ---
On April 22, 1993, the Provisional Regulations Concerning the Issuance and Trading
of Shares ( 《股票發行與交易管理暫行條例》) were promulgated by the State Council to
govern the application and approval procedures for public offerings of equity securities,
trading in equity securities, the acquisitio n of listed companies, deposit, settling and
transfer of listed equity securities, as well as t he disclosure of inform ation, investigation,
penalties and dispute resolutions with respect to a listed company.
On December 25, 1995, the State Council promulgated the Regulations of the State
Council Concerning Domestic Listed Foreign Shares of Joint Stock Limited Companies
(《國務院關於股份有限公司境內上市外資股的規定》). These regulations principally govern
the issuance, subscription, trading and declar ation of dividends of domestic listed foreign

foreign shares.
T h eS e c u r i t i e sL a wo ft h eP R C(《中華人民共和國證券法》) took effect on July 1, 1999
and was revised as at August 28, 2004, October 27, 2005, June 29, 2013, August 31, 2014
and December 28, 2019, respectively. It was the first national securities law in the PRC, and
is divided into 14 chapters and 226 articles regulating, among other matters, the issuance
and trading of securities, takeovers of listed companies, securities exchanges, securities
companies and the duties and responsibilitie s of the State Council’s securities regulatory
authorities. The PRC Securities Law compreh ensively regulates activities in the PRC

must comply with the relevant regulations of the State Council to, directly or indirectly,
issue securities or list their securities to be tr aded outside the PRC. Currently, the issuance

V. ARBITRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ARBITRAL AWARDS
The Arbitration Law of the PRC ( 《中華人民共和國仲裁法》) (the ‘‘Arbitration Law ’’)
was passed on August 31, 1994, became effective on September 1, 1995 and was amended on
August 27, 2009 and September 1, 2017. It is applicable to contract disputes and other
property disputes between natural persons, legal persons and other organisations where the
parties have entered into a written agreement t o refer the matter to arbitration before an
arbitration committee constituted in acco rdance with the Arbitration Law. Under the
Arbitration Law, an arbitration committee may, before the promulgation by the PRC
Arbitration Association ( 中國仲裁協會) of arbitration regulations, formulate interim
arbitration rules in accordance with the Arb itration Law and the Civil Procedure Law.
Where the parties have by agreement provided arbitration as the method for dispute
resolution, the people’s court will refuse to handle the case, unless the arbitration agreement
is null and void.
Under the Arbitration Law and the Civil Procedure Law, an arbitral award made by
the arbitration body shall be final and conclusive and binding on the parties. If a party fails
to comply with an award, the other party to t he award may apply to the people’s court for
enforcement. The people’s court shall enforce the arbitral award upon receipt of the
application. A people’s court may refuse to enforce an arbitral award made by an
arbitration tribunal after verification by collegial bench formed by the people’s court if
there is any procedural irregularity (including but not limited to irregularity in the
composition of the arbitration tribunal or arb itration proceedings, the jurisdiction of the
arbitration commission, or the making of an award on matters beyond the scope of the
arbitration agreement).
A party seeking to enforce an arbitral award of PRC Arbitration Tribunal against a
party who, or whose property, is not within the PRC, may apply to a foreign court with
jurisdiction over the case for enforcement. Similarly, an arbitral award made by a foreign
arbitration body may be recognised and enforced by the PRC courts in accordance with the
principles of reciprocity or any international treaty concluded or participated in by the
PRC. The PRC acceded to the Convention on th e Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign
Arbitral Awards ( 《承認及執行外國仲裁裁決公約》,t h e‘ ‘New York Convention ’’) adopted on
June 10, 1958 pursuant to a resolution pa ssed by the SCNPC on December 2, 1986. The
New York Convention provides that all arbitral awards made in a state which is a party to
the New York Convention shall be recognised and enforced by other parties to the New
York Convention, subject to their right to refu se enforcement under certain circumstances,
including where the enforcement of the arbitral award is against the public policy of the
State to which the arbitration for enforcement is made. At the time of the PRC’s accession
to the New York Convention, the SCNPC declared that (i) the New York Convention will
only be applied to the recognition and en forcement of arbitral awards made in the
territories of other parties based on the principle of reciprocity; and (ii) the New York
Convention will only be applied to disputes deemed under PRC laws to be arising from
contractual or non-contractual mercantile legal relations.

Region (《最高人民法院關於內地與香港特別行政區相互執行仲裁裁決的安排》)p r o m u l g a t e d
by the Supreme People’s Court on January 24, 2000 and became effective on February 1,
2000, and the Supplementary Arrangement of the Supreme People’s Court on Mutual
Enforcement of Arbitral Awards between the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region ( 《最高人民法院關於內地與香港特別行政區相互執行仲裁裁決的補充
安排》) (Articles 1 and 4 became effective on November 27, 2020, and Articles 2 and 3
became effective on May 19, 2021) promulgated on November 26, 2020, the courts of Hong
Kong agree to enforce the awards made pursuant to the Arbitration Law by the arbitral
authorities in the Mainland (the list to be sup plied by the Legislative Affairs Office of the
State Council ( 國務院法制辦公室) through the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the
State Council ( 國務院港澳事務辦公室)) and the people’s courts of the Mainland agree to
enforce the awards made in the Hong Kong pursuant to the Arbitration Ordinance of the
Hong Kong. If the people’s courts of the Mainland find that the enforcement of awards
made by the Hong Kong arbitral bodies in the Mainland will be against public interests of
the Mainland, or the courts of Hong Kong decide that the enforcement of the arbitral
awards in Hong Kong will be against public policies of Hong Kong, the awards may not be
enforced.
VI. JUDICIAL JUDGEMENT AND ENFORCEMENT
According to the Arrangement on Mutual Recognition and Enforcement of
Judgements in Civil and Commercial Matter s by the Courts of the Chinese Mainland and
of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Pursuant to Agreed Jurisdiction by
Parties Concerned ( 《關於
內地與香港特別行政區法院相互認可和執行當事人協議管轄的民商
事案件判決的安排》)p r o m u l g a t e db yt h eS u p r e m eP eople’s Court on July 3, 2008 and
implemented on August 1, 2008, in the case of final and enforceable judgement with
payment requirement, made by the court of China and the court of Hong Kong in a civil
and commercial case with written jurisdiction agreement, any party concerned may apply to
the people’s court of China or the court of Hong Kong for recognition and enforcement of
such judgement based on this arrangement. ‘‘Written jurisdiction agreement’’ refers to a
written agreement between the parties concerned giving the exclusive jurisdiction of either
the people’s court of China or the court of Hong Kong in order to resolve dispute relating
to particular legal relation oc curred or likely to occur. Therefore, the party concerned may
apply to the court of China or the court of Hong Kong to recognise and enforce the final
judgement made in China or Hong Kong that meet certain conditions of the
aforementioned regulations.
On January 18, 2019, the Supreme People’s Court and the Hong Kong government
signed the Arrangement on Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement of Judgements in
Civil and Commercial Matters by the Courts of the Mainland and of the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region ( 《關於內地與香港特別行政區法院相互認可和執行民商事案
件判決的安排》) (the ‘‘ New Arrangement ’’), which seeks to establish a mechanism with
greater clarity and certainty for recognition and enforcement of judgements in wider range
