PART I

Item 5.Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this transition report on Form 20-F. This report contains forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Information.” In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the information provided under the caption “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on October 19, 2023, or our 2023 Annual Report. We caution you that our businesses and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.

A.	Operating Results

We are a global value retailer offering a variety of trendy lifestyle products featuring IP design. We have built our flagship brand “MINISO” as a globally recognized retail brand and established a store network worldwide. Observing an emerging pop toy culture, we introduced the “TOP TOY” brand with the goal of entering into the pop toy market and eventually building our platform of pop toys. In the six months ended December 31, 2023, we launched an average of approximately 930 SKUs under the “MINISO” brand per month, and offered consumers a wide selection of approximately 9,500 core SKUs, the vast majority of which are under the “MINISO” brand. Our MINISO product offerings span 11 major categories, including home decor, small electronics, textile, accessories, beauty tools, toys, cosmetics, personal care, snacks, fragrance and perfumes, and stationery and gifts. Under the TOP TOY brand, we offered around 8,400 SKUs as of December 31, 2023 across major categories that include blind boxes, toy bricks, model figures, model kits, collectible dolls, Ichiban Kuji and other popular toys. Our highly effective approach to retail, which mainly encompasses dynamic product development, an efficient supply chain and deep operational know-how backed by digitalization, is critical to the success and forms the backbone of our business.

Our revenue was RMB9,071.7 million, RMB10,085.6 million and RMB11,473.2 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023, and RMB5,266.9 million and RMB7,632.5 million (US$1,075.0 million) in the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. Our gross profit was RMB2,430.7 million, RMB3,069.8 million and RMB4,443.1 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023, and RMB1,985.7 million and RMB3,241.0 million (US$456.5 million) in the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. We recorded a loss of RMB1.429.4 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, and recorded a profit of RMB639.7 million and RMB1,781.8 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, and RMB763.9 million and RMB1,256.1 million (US$176.9 million) in the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Major Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Our business and results of operations are affected by a number of general factors that impact the overall consumption and market for lifestyle and pop toy products, including overall economic trends and their impact on consumer behavior, production and procurement costs and the competitive environment. Unfavorable changes in any of these general conditions could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

While our business is influenced by these general factors, our results of operations are more directly affected by the following company-specific factors.

Table of Contents

Store network expansion in China

Our ability to expand our store network in China is a key driver of our revenue growth. Our revenue generated from China was RMB7,291.2 million, RMB7,442.2 million and RMB7,650.8 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023, and RMB3,360.2 million and RMB4,843.1 million (US$682.1 million) in the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, apart from 26 directly operated MINISO stores and 14 directly operated TOP TOY stores, substantially all of our MINISO and TOP TOY stores in China were operated under our MINISO Retail Partner model. Our store network expansion in China is primarily sustained by our continued success in encouraging our retail partners to open more MINISO stores at optimal locations. As a result, the number of MINISO stores in China increased from 2,939 as of June 30, 2021 to 3,226 as of June 30, 2022, to over 3,600 as of June 30, 2023 and further to over 3,900 as of December 31, 2023. Additionally, the fast growth of our new brand TOP TOY since December 2020 has also contributed to the expansion of our store network in China. As of December 31, 2023, we had opened 148 TOP TOY stores in China.

Globalization strategy

Our results of operations are affected by our ability to execute our globalization strategy, which primarily involves expanding into new international markets and growing our store network overseas. Our revenue from markets outside of China was RMB1,780.4 million, RMB2,643.5 million and RMB3,822.4 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023, and RMB1,906.7 million and RMB2,789.3 million (US$392.9 million) in the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, accounting for 19.6%, 26.2%, 33.3%, 36.2% and 36.5%, of our total revenue for the same periods, respectively. In the majority of the international markets, we expand our store network by using the distributor model. Depending on factors such as market environment and local regulations, we also utilize the MINISO Retail Partner model for international store network expansion in an asset-light manner and the direct operation model. The significant revenue contribution from international markets demonstrates the appeal of our “MINISO” brand across geographical and cultural boundaries. The number of MINISO stores outside of China increased from 1,810 as of June 30, 2021 to 1,973 as of June 30, 2022, to approximately 2,200 as of June 30, 2023 and further to approximately 2,500 as of December 31, 2023.

Revenue per MINISO store

While we continue to expand our store network, our results of operations are also affected by revenue per MINISO store. Our revenue per MINISO store, which is calculated by dividing (a) revenue of MINISO brand by (b) the average number of stores at the beginning and the end of the relevant period, has fluctuated significantly historically, and may continue to fluctuate in future periods. As a global value retailer offering a variety of trendy lifestyle products featuring IP design, we expect to continue to face intense competition in a variety of the markets we operate. Our ability to take a disciplined approach in store network expansion while we increase penetration into more lower-tier cities in China and expand internationally using a distributor, self-operating or retail partner model, and to develop efficient supply chains and deepen customer engagement in these new regions, will affect our revenue per MINISO store and our results of operations. Our revenue per MINISO store was RMB1.9 million, RMB1.9 million and RMB2.0 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023, and RMB0.9 million and RMB1.2 million (US$0.2 million) in the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Product value propositions

We primarily generate revenues from sales of high-quality and affordable lifestyle and pop toy products that are responsive to the evolving tastes and needs of consumers. Our product managers identify market trends and collaborate closely with our designers and suppliers to develop and roll out products that balance appeal, quality and price. Furthermore, our co-branding collaborations with IP licensors owning popular brands unlock new product design possibilities and elevate our brand awareness. Further, we identify and cultivate new IPs and co-develop them with independent design artists into popular IP products, mostly under our TOP TOY brand. As a result of our distinctive approach to product design and development, our flagship brand “MINISO” maintained a portfolio of approximately 9,500 core SKUs spanning 11 major categories, with an average of around 930 SKUs launched per month in the six months ended December 31, 2023. Under the fast-growing TOP TOY brand, we offered around 8,400 SKUs as of December 31, 2023 across major categories, including blind boxes, toy bricks, model figures, model kits, collectible dolls, Ichiban Kuji and other popular toys.

Efficient supply chain

Our ability to manage an integrated and seamless supply chain significantly impacts the results of our operations, as cost-effective procurement sets the foundation for our competitive product pricing, and efficient planning affects our speed to market. Leveraging China’s large supply chain in the lifestyle product sector, we source from qualified suppliers who are able to meet our demands. As part of our efforts to optimize supply chain, we build mutually beneficial relationships with our suppliers by procuring products in large volumes, being punctual with our payments to them in the ordinary course of business and guiding them towards better production efficiency and enhanced cost control. In addition, we digitally integrate suppliers through our supply chain management system to better coordinate with them and streamline the supply chain process for enhanced productivity. These strengths of our supply chain have led to sustained advantages in both procurement cost and efficiency, which allows us to price competitively.

Other income

Our other income decreased by 30.8% from RMB25.9 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 to RMB17.9 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in government grant.

Our other net income was RMB114.1 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, compared to other net income was RMB87.3 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The increase was mainly attributable to a net foreign exchange gain of RMB109.1 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, compared to RMB14.0 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, partially offset by a decrease in investment income from wealth management products as a result of reduced principal of such products.

Our other income decreased by 50.3% from RMB52.1 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 to RMB25.9 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in government grants. There are different types of government grants and the amount of which generally fluctuates from period to period.

Selling and distribution expenses

Our selling and distribution expenses increased by 19.5% from RMB1,206.8 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 to RMB1,442.3 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Excluding equity-settled share-based payment expenses, our selling and distribution expenses increased from RMB1,075.6 million to RMB1,390.3 million during the same period, primarily attributable to (i) increased personnel-related expenses, (ii) increased licensing expenses in relation to our enlarging IP library and enriching offerings of IP products, and (iii) increased promotion and advertising expenses, mainly in connection with our strategic brand upgrade of MINISO in China.

General and administrative expenses

Our general and administrative expenses increased by 0.7% from RMB810.8 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 to RMB816.2 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Excluding equity-settled share-based payment expenses, our general and administrative expenses increased by 18.9% from RMB660.7 million to RMB785.4 million during the same period, which was primarily due to (i) increased depreciation and amortization expenses, mainly related to the land use right of the headquarters building project, and (ii) increased personnel-related expenses, which were partially offset by decreased office operating expenses as a result of expense control measures in response to the resurgence of COVID-19 in China.

Other net (loss)/income

Our other net income was RMB87.3 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, compared to other net loss of RMB40.4 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. This change was mainly attributable to a net foreign exchange gain of RMB14.0 million in fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net foreign exchange loss of RMB114.2 million in fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

Credit loss on trade and other receivables

Our credit loss on trade and other receivables was RMB20.8 million and RMB28.9 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Impairment loss on non-current assets

Our impairment loss on non-current assets was RMB2.9 million and RMB13.5 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. We record impairment loss on non-current assets of directly operated stores.

Operating profit

As a result of the foregoing, we recorded operating profit of RMB882.0 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, representing an increase of 119.9% from RMB401.0 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

Net finance income

Our net finance income increased by 172.0% from RMB12.1 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 to RMB32.9 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, mainly due to an increase in interest income from bank deposits.

Fair value changes of redeemable shares with other preferential rights

Our fair value changes of redeemable shares with other preferential rights were a loss of RMB1,625.3 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and nil in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The change was primarily due to the conversion of preferred shares into Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of our initial public offering in the Unites States and termination of preferential rights attached to those preferred shares.

Share of loss of equity-accounted investee, net of tax

Our share of loss of equity-accounted investee, net of tax was RMB8.2 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, compared to RMB4.0 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. We had share of loss of equity-accounted investee, net of tax for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 due to our investment into and share of 20% of loss of a company then controlled by our controlling shareholders. This company was established to acquire the land use right of a parcel of land in Guangzhou for the purpose of establishing a new headquarters building for our company in August 2020. In October 2021, we acquired the remaining 80% equity interest in this company and consolidated the financial results of this company into our financial statements since the completion of the acquisition.

Income tax expense

We recorded income tax expense of RMB267.1 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, compared to RMB213.3 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

(Loss)/profit for the year

As a result of the foregoing, we recorded a profit for the year of RMB639.7 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, compared to a loss of RMB1,429.4 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

Segments

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023 and the six months ended December 31, 2023, we had two reportable segments: (i) MINISO brand, including mainly the design, purchasing and sale of lifestyle products; and (ii) TOP TOY brand, including mainly the design, purchasing and sale of pop toys. Other operating segments have been aggregated and presented as “other segment.” Business included as other segment did not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments for the same periods.

Non-IFRS Financial Measure

In evaluating the business, we consider and use adjusted net profit as a supplemental measure to review and assess our operating performance. We define adjusted net profit as profit/(loss) from continuing operations excluding (i) fair value changes of redeemable shares with other preferential rights, and (ii) equity-settled share-based payment expenses.

We present the non-IFRS financial measure because it is used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. The non-IFRS financial measure enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impacts of the aforementioned non-cash items that we do not consider to be indicative of our operating performance in the future. Accordingly, we believe that the use of the non-IFRS financial measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

The non-IFRS financial measure is not defined under IFRS nor presented in accordance with IFRS. The non-IFRS financial measure has limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using the non-IFRS financial measure is that it does not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Further, the non-IFRS financial measure may differ from non-IFRS information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

The non-IFRS financial measure should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to profit/(loss) or any other measure of performance prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review our historical non-IFRS financial measure in light of the most directly comparable IFRS measure, as shown below. The non-IFRS financial measure presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting the usefulness of such measure when analyzing our data comparatively. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

We recorded adjusted net profit of RMB477.2 million, RMB722.6 million and RMB1,844.7 million in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023, and RMB790.5 million and RMB1,302.5 million (US$183.5 million) in the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The following table reconciles our adjusted net profit for these periods to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, which is (loss)/profit for the period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with IFRS issued by the IASB, which requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes in our estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates. The following descriptions of significant accounting policies, judgments, and estimates should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included in this transition report. When reviewing our financial statements, you should consider (i) our selection of material accounting policies, (ii) the judgments and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies, and (iii) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions.

Revenue recognition

Product sales to retail partners. We have entered into a series of agreements with certain retail partners, primarily in China, Indonesia and Vietnam, which mainly include a license agreement and a sales agreement, or collectively, the Franchise Agreements, whereby the retail partners are licensed to operate the retail partner stores and are authorized to sell, in their own retail stores, the products that they have purchased from us. Revenue from sales to these retail partners is recognized at the point when they obtain the legal title of the products and become obliged to pay for the products, which is when the retail partners sell the products to their customers in their own retail stores.

For product sales to retail partners, we have determined that the retail partners are the customers of us. The retail partners operate retail stores at their own chosen locations under the framework set out under the Franchise Agreements. At inception of the franchise arrangement, retail partners are required to place a deposit with us which covers the estimated maximum value of merchandise that their stores may hold throughout the franchise period, and this amount is reviewed upon renewal of the franchisee arrangement. The deposit is refundable at the expiry of the Franchise Agreements, provided that the retail partners have no remaining merchandise unsold and have settled other balances with us.

The retail partners employ and manage their own staff to operate the stores and serve their customers (i.e. end consumers who visit the stores), and bear the costs associated with the operation. The retail partners’ retail stores generally carry a wide range of merchandise that they exercise discretion to select from our array of product categories.

The retail partners are responsible for the placement, physical custody and condition of the merchandise that they have selected after the deliveries are accepted in stores. They also control the physical access to merchandise in possession through their operation of the retail stores. In general, we do not have any obligation or practice to accept any return of unsold products, except in rare cases such as a latent defect subject to a product recall or certain limited seasonal items that have passed their sales season.

Table of Contents

The retail partners have the right to price their merchandise within a specified range of the recommended retail price we set. They also have the ability to carry out discretionary promotional campaigns for their stores or decide whether to participate in promotional campaigns we launch. The retail partners can offer more discounts on selected items beyond the range specified in discretionary promotional campaigns, and will have to bear a substantial portion of reduced margin from lowering the sales price for such campaigns.

Write-down of inventories

We determine the write-down for obsolescence, anticipated markdown and low demand of inventories. Write-down of inventories is recorded when estimated net realizable value is less than cost. In determining write-down of inventories, we consider factors such as inventory aging, forecast product demands, historical pricing trends and anticipated future pricing strategies. It could change significantly as a result of change in the product demands and pricing strategies due to change in market condition.

Impairments of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets related to self - operated stores

In considering the impairment losses that may be required for certain property, plant and equipment, and right-of-use assets related to self-operated stores, recoverable amount of these assets needs to be determined, being the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgment relating to items such as forecasted sales. We use all readily available information in determining an amount that is reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of items such as forecasted sales. It is difficult to precisely estimate fair value less costs of disposal because market rentals used to estimate the self-operated stores’ fair value less costs of disposal may not be readily available. We evaluate market rentals with the assistance of valuation professionals.

Recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses and other deductible temporary differences carried forward are recognized and measured based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. In determining the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets, expected taxable profits are estimated which involves a number of assumptions relating to the operating environment of us and requires significant level of judgement exercised by the directors. Any change in such assumptions and judgement would affect the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets to be recognized and hence the net profit in future years.

Share-based compensation

We measure the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is estimated using a model which requires the determination of the appropriate inputs. We have to estimate the forfeiture rate in order to determine the amount of share-based compensation expenses charged to the statement of profit or loss. We also have to estimate the actual vesting period of the share awards which is variable and subject to an estimate of when a qualified initial public offering of us will incur.

Table of Contents

Fair value measurement of redeemable shares with other preferential rights

The redeemable shares with other preferential rights are not traded in an active market and the respective fair value is determined by using valuation techniques. We have used the discounted cash flow method to determine the underlying equity value and adopted equity allocation model to determine the fair value of the redeemable shares with other preferential rights. Considerable judgement is required to interpret market data used in the valuation techniques. The use of different market assumptions and / or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Depreciation and amortization

Property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets, are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We review the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded during any reporting periods. The useful lives are based on our historical experience with similar assets. The depreciation and amortization expenses for future periods are adjusted if there are material changes from previous estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A list of recent accounting pronouncements that are relevant to us is included in note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, which are included in this transition report.

B.	Liquidity and Capital Resources

Source of Liquidity and Working Capital Sufficiency

Cash flows from operating activities and financing activities have been our primary sources of liquidity. Our cash and cash equivalents were RMB6,771.7 million, RMB5,348,5 million and RMB6,489.2 million as of June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023, and RMB5,186.6 million and RMB6,415.4 million (US$903.6 million) December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, 77.5% of our cash and cash equivalents were denominated in Renminbi, 17.3% were in U.S. dollars, 0.4% were in Hong Kong dollars and 4.8% were in other currencies. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash. As of December 31, 2023, we did not have any unused banking facilities.

As of December 31, 2023, we had an outstanding borrowing of RMB7.3 million (US$1.0 million), which represented a loan obtained from a minority shareholder of a subsidiary in Singapore with principal amount of SGD1,350,000 (equivalent to RMB7,259,000 on December 31, 2023), an interest rate of 3% per annum and a maturity date of July 31, 2027.

Based on our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operations, we believe that we will have sufficient funds to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from December 31, 2023.

In utilizing the proceeds from public offerings, we may make additional capital contributions to our mainland China subsidiaries, establish new subsidiaries in mainland China and make capital contributions to these new subsidiaries, make loans to our mainland China subsidiaries, or acquire offshore entities with operations in mainland China in offshore transactions. However, most of these uses are subject to mainland China regulations. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental administration of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offshore offerings to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business” in our 2023 Annual Report.

Table of Contents

We may decide to enhance our liquidity position or increase our cash reserve for future investments through additional capital and finance funding. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Cash Flows

Operating activities

Net cash generated from operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2023 was RMB1,097.5 million (US$154.6 million), as compared to a profit for the period of RMB1,256.1 million (US$176.9 million). The difference was due to the adjustment of certain non-cash items, primarily consisting of (i) depreciation and amortization of RMB285.2 million (US$40.2 million), and (ii) income tax of RMB396.7 million (US$55.9 million), which were partially offset by an interest income of RMB124.0 million (US$17.5 million), and changes in certain working capital accounts that affected operating cash flows, primarily consisting of (i) an increase in inventory of RMB471.7 million (US$66.4 million), and (ii) an increase in trade and other receivables of RMB316.5 million (US$44.6 million). The increase in inventory was mainly due to an increase in the number of stores. The increase in trade and other receivables was mainly due to an increase in trade receivable.

Net cash generated from operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 was RMB1,666.0 million. This amount was primarily attributable to a profit of RMB1,781,8 million for the year, as adjusted by certain non-cash items, primarily consisting of (i) depreciation and amortization of RMB391.2 million, and (ii) income tax of RMB551.8 million, which were partially offset by an interest income of RMB145.2 million, and changes in certain working capital accounts that affected operating cash flows, primarily consisting of (i) an increase in inventory of RMB250.9 million, and (ii) an increase in trade and other receivables of RMB185.8 million. The increase in inventory was mainly due to an increase in the number of stores. The increase in trade and other receivables was mainly due to an increase in VAT recoverable.

Net cash generated from operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 was RMB1,406.3 million. This amount was primarily attributable to a profit of RMB639.7 million for the year adjusted for certain non-cash items, primarily consisting of (i) depreciation and amortization of RMB389.9 million, and (ii) income tax of RMB267.1 million, and changes in certain working capital accounts that affected operating cash flows, primarily consisting of (i) a decrease in inventories of RMB308.0 million and (ii) an increase in trade and other payables of RMB180.1 million, partially offset by an increase in trade and other receivables of RMB190.1 million. The decrease in inventories was mainly due to enhanced inventory management so as to reduce inventory level of offline stores. The increase in trade and other payables was mainly due to increases in accrued expenses on licensing expenses and listing expenses in relation to the public offering and listing of our ordinary shares for trading on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The increase in trade and other receivables was mainly due to increases in prepayments for listing expenses in relation to the public offering and listing of our ordinary shares for trading on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and VAT recoverable.

Table of Contents

Net cash generated from operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 was RMB916.3 million. This amount was primarily attributable to loss of RMB1,429.4 million for the year, as adjusted by certain non-cash items, primarily consisting of (i) fair value changes of redeemable shares with other preferential rights of RMB1,625.3 million, (ii) equity-settled share-based payment expenses of RMB281.3 million, (iii) depreciation and amortization of RMB265.0 million, and (iv) interest on lease liabilities of RMB26.8 million, and changes in certain working capital accounts that affected operating cash flows, primarily consisting of (i) a RMB386.7 million increase in trade and other payables, (ii) a RMB93.2 million increase in inventories, (iii) a RMB80.1 million increase in trade and other receivables, and (iv) a RMB34.4 million increase in contract liabilities. The increase in trade and other payables was mainly due to the increase in deposits as a result of an increased number of stores. The increase in trade and other receivables was primarily due to increases in trade receivables, value-added tax recoverable and rental deposits. The increase in inventories was primarily caused by the rapid development of our new initiatives such as the TOP TOY brand and e-commerce.

Holding company structure

MINISO Group Holding Limited is a holding company with no material operations of its own. We conduct our operations through our subsidiaries. As a result, MINISO Group Holding Limited’s ability to pay dividends, to some extent, depends upon dividends paid by our subsidiaries. If our existing subsidiaries or any newly formed ones incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. In addition, our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in mainland China are permitted to pay dividends only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with mainland China accounting standards and regulations. Under mainland China law, each of our subsidiaries in mainland China may pay dividend from the after-tax profit after (i) it sets aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital, and (ii) any losses of such mainland China subsidiary from prior fiscal years have been offset. The statutory reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of mainland China is subject to examination by the banks designated by SAFE. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Regulations—China—Regulation related to dividend distribution” in our 2023 Annual Report.

Contingent Liabilities and Treasury Policy

Contingent liabilities

Commitment of tax payments

In connection with the acquisition of the land use right for the construction of our new headquarters building, MINISO (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., or MINISO Guangzhou, entered into a letter of intent on November 26, 2020 with the local government of the district where our new headquarters building is located and committed to pay an aggregate amount of tax levies of no less than RMB965.0 million to a local government in Guangzhou for a five-year period starting from January 1, 2021, with RMB160.0 million in 2021, RMB175.0 million in 2022, RMB190.0 million in 2023, RMB210.0 million in 2024 and RMB230.0 million in 2025. If we fail to meet the committed amount for any of the five calendar years, MINISO Guangzhou will be liable to compensate for the shortfall.

We had met the commitments for the calendar years of 2021 and 2022 and therefore MINISO Guangzhou was not required to make any compensation to the local government. In March 2023, MINISO Guangzhou provided a performance guarantee of RMB190.0 million issued by a commercial bank to the local government in respect of the commitment of tax payments for the calendar year of 2023, which was valid from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024. Based on the projection of and actual relevant taxes and surcharges paid and payable during the calendar year of 2023, we have met the commitment for the calendar year of 2023 and thus it is not probable that MINISO Guangzhou needs to make any compensation to the local government under the above performance guarantee. As such, no provision has been made in respect of this matter as of December 31, 2023.

Lawsuit relating to illicit competition

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, Shenzhen Purcotton Technology Co., Ltd. initiated a legal proceeding against certain of our mainland China subsidiaries, one of our suppliers and a store operated by one of our franchisees relating to an illicit competition dispute. The total amount claimed against our mainland China subsidiaries was approximately RMB30 million. As of December 31, 2023, the final judgment has been made by the court that the first instance judgment should be upheld, and the application of appeal we filed has been dismissed. We paid RMB30.0 million to the plaintiff during the six months ended December 31, 2023.

Securities class action

In August 2022, a putative federal securities class action was filed against the Company and certain of its officers and Directors, alleging that the Company made misleading misstatements or omissions regarding its business operations and financials in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The action is captioned In re MINISO Group Holding Limited Securities Litigation, 1:22-cv-09864 (S.D.N.Y.). Lead plaintiff was appointed in November 2022 and filed the operative complaint to the court. We and other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, and the motion was granted by the court in February 2024, with leave to amend. Plaintiffs have filed a motion for reconsideration of the court’s decision and intended to file a further amended complaint. As of December 31, 2023, the Directors were unable to assess the outcome of the action or reliably estimate the potential losses, if any.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or product development services with us.

Treasury policy

We believe we can make better use of our cash by making appropriate investments in short-term investment products, which generate income without interfering with our business operation or capital expenditures. Our investment decisions with respect to financial products are made on a case-by-case basis and after due and careful consideration of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market conditions, the economic developments, the anticipated investment conditions, the investment cost, the duration of the investment and the expected benefit and potential loss of the investment. We have established a set of internal control measures which allow us to achieve reasonable returns on our investment while mitigating our exposure to high investment risks. These policies and measures were formulated by our senior management.

In order to make full use of idle funds, improve the utilization rate of surplus funds, and increase our income, under the premise of not affecting our normal business activities, subject to approval from our chief financial officer, we may purchase a certain amount of wealth management products from financial institutions. According to our internal policies, the manager of our treasury department should make proposals to invest in wealth management products to our chief financial officer and such proposals must be reviewed and approved by our chief financial officer. In assessing a proposal to invest in wealth management products, a number of criteria must be met, including but not limited to the following:

●

The purchase of wealth management products is limited to low-risk products such as term deposits, principal-guaranteed and interest-paying products, treasury notes issued by banks, and wealth management products with risk level below R2. The purchase of high-risk financial instruments such as securities and futures is strictly prohibited.

●

The expected return of the purchased wealth management products should be not lower than bank’s deposit interest rate for term deposits of the same period, the product structure should be relatively simple, and the purchases should be made from financial institutions with large operation scale, overall strength and good credit standing.

●

The treasury department is responsible for setting up a detailed ledger for wealth management products, the manager of the treasury department manages the financial products, and tracks the progress and safety of wealth management products. In the event of an abnormal situation, the manager of the treasury department should report the situation to the chief financial officer in a timely manner so that we can take effective measures immediately to reduce potential losses.

Capital expenditures

Our capital expenditures are primarily incurred for the purposes of building our new headquarters project, purchasing IT systems and renovating MINISO stores that we directly operated.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. For example, we and certain of our current officers and directors have been named as defendants in a putative securities class action captioned Adeel Ashraf v. MINISO Group Holding Limited et al. (Case No. 2:22-cv-05815) filed on August 17, 2022 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. After the lead plaintiff was appointed in November 2022, the parties agreed by stipulation to transfer the action to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the case was transferred under the new caption In re MINISO Group Holding Limited Securities Litigation (1:22-cv-09864). Plaintiffs filed the operative complaint in April 2023, alleging that our company made misleading misstatements or omissions regarding its business operations and financials in violation of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Plaintiffs purport to bring this class action on behalf of: (i) all persons and entities that purchased or acquired our ADSs pursuant or traceable to the Registration Statement issued in connection with our initial public offering in October 2020 and (ii) all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired our ADSs between October 15, 2020 and July 26, 2022, both dates inclusive. On June 23, 2023, we and other defendants filed our motion to dismiss the operative complaint. On February 23, 2024, the court granted our motion to dismiss, with leave to amend. Plaintiffs have filed a motion for reconsideration of the court’s decision and intended to file a further amended complaint.

In addition, we are currently involved in four labor disputes in California, all of which are wage and hour actions. In two of the four cases, two employees of our subsidiary in the United States alleged that, among others, we failed to pay minimum wage and overtime wages, authorize or permit meal periods and rest periods, and provide complete and accurate wage statements. The plaintiffs in these two cases have reached a settlement agreement with us for US$1,250,000, which was granted final approval by the court in February 2024. According to the settlement agreement, we are required to fund the settlement amount in April 2024. We will comply with the obligations as required by the settlement agreement and the court. The court will hold a final report hearing in December 2024 to review if the allocations of the settlement amount are in order and may close this case after the hearing. The remaining wage and hour actions are currently still ongoing and the plaintiffs’ claims represent an immaterial amount to our company.

Besides, we are also involved in lawsuits in relation to illicit competition. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources Contingent Liabilities and Treasury Policy—Contingent liabilities” for further details.

Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial cost and diversion of our resources, including our management’s time and attention. See “Item 3. Key Information on the Company—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings during the course of our business operations. Our directors, management, shareholders and employees may also from time to time be subject to legal proceedings, which could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations” and “Item 3. Key Information on the Company—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—Our company and certain of our officers and directors have been named as defendants in a shareholder class action lawsuit” in our 2023 Annual Report.

Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders

See “Item 10. Additional Information” in our 2023 Annual Report for a description of the rights of securities holders, which remain unchanged.

Use of Proceeds from Our Initial Public Offering in the United States

The following “Use of Proceeds” information relates to the registration statement on Form F-1 (File Number: 333-248991) relating to our initial public offering of 30,400,000 ADSs representing 121,600,000 then Class A ordinary shares, without taking into account over-allotment, at an initial offering price of US$20.00 per ADS. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on October 14, 2020. Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C. and BofA Securities, Inc. were the representatives of the underwriters.

We raised approximately US$625.3 million in net proceeds from our initial public offering, after deducting underwriting commissions and the offering expenses payable by us. None of the transaction expenses included payments to directors or officers of our company or their associates, persons owning more than 10% or more of our equity securities or our affiliates. None of the net proceeds we received from the initial public offering were paid, directly or indirectly, to any of our directors or officers or their associates, persons owning 10% or more of our equity securities or our affiliates.

For the period from October 14, 2020 to December 31, 2023, we used approximately US$148.3 million of the net proceeds from our initial public offering, including approximately US$24.3 million in purchasing IT systems and renovating MINISO stores that we directly operated, approximately US$121.9 million in our new headquarters building project, and US$2.1 million in the lease of a warehouse. We still intend to use the proceeds from our initial public offering, as disclosed in our registration statements on Form F-1 for the initial public offering, to expand our store network, invest in our warehouse and logistics network, invest in our business and infrastructure expansion, technologies and information systems, and use the remainder for general corporate purposes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

MINISO Group Holding Limited

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of MINISO Group Holding Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2022 and 2023 and December 31, 2023, the related consolidated statements of profit or loss, profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2023 and the six months ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and 2023 and December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2023 and the six months ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Assessment of write-down of inventories

As discussed in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had inventories of RMB1,922,241 thousand as of December 31, 2023. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, as described in Note 2(i). Write-down of inventories is recorded when estimated net realizable value is less than cost. In determining write-down of inventories, the Company considers factors such as inventory aging, forecasted product demands, historical pricing trends and anticipated future pricing strategies.

We identified the assessment of write-down of inventories as a critical audit matter. A high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required in evaluating the assumptions used to estimate the write-down of inventories. These assumptions include forecasting future product demand and estimating selling prices for future promotional events.

F-2

Table of Contents

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter.

We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s process in assessing the write-down of inventories. These included controls related to the Company’s estimation of forecasted future product demand and the estimated selling prices in future promotional events. We compared the prior period forecasted future product demand to actual results to assess the Company’s ability to accurately forecast. We evaluated the Company’s forecasted future product demand for a selection of inventory items by considering historical sales trends and any known changes that would impact future product demand. We evaluated the Company’s assessment of the estimated selling prices in future promotional events for a selection of inventory items based on historical pricing trends and the anticipated markdowns in planned promotional events.

Assessment of impairment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets related to certain self-operated stores

As discussed in Notes 13 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets related to self-operated stores of RMB128,879 thousand and RMB998,032 thousand respectively, as of December 31, 2023. As discussed in Note 2(h)(ii), each individual self-operated store is a separate cash-generating unit (“CGU”). For self-operated stores where an indication of impairment is identified, an impairment assessment will be performed by comparing the carrying value of the self-operated stores with their recoverable amounts, being the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. If the carrying value of the self-operated stores exceeds their recoverable amounts, the Company writes down the property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets which belong to the self-operated stores to the estimated recoverable amounts.

We identified the assessment of impairment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets related to certain self-operated stores as a critical audit matter. A high degree of auditor judgment was required in evaluating the significant assumptions used by the Company in estimating the recoverable amount. Specifically, the forecasted sales used to estimate the self-operated stores’ value in use were challenging to test as they represented subjective determinations of future sales trends that were also sensitive to variation. Minor changes to those assumptions could have had a significant effect on the Company’s assessment of the forecasted sales. Furthermore, specialized skills and knowledge were needed to assess the market rentals used to estimate the self-operated stores’ fair value less costs of disposal.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter.

We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s impairment assessment process for property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets related to the self-operated stores. This included controls related to the determination of the forecasted sales and the market rentals. For those self-operated stores with an indication of impairment, we evaluated the Company’s forecasted sales for a selection of those self-operated stores by considering historical sales and future operation plans. We also performed sensitivity analyses over the forecasted sales for the selection of those self-operated stores to assess their impact on the value in use of the self-operated stores. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the market rentals used by the Company to estimate fair values less costs of disposal for a selection of self-operated stores by comparing the respective market rental ranges that we independently developed using external data to the Company’s estimates.

2 Material accounting policies

(a) Statement of compliance

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and were authorized for issue by the Company’s board of directors on April 16, 2024.

Material accounting policies adopted by the Group are disclosed below. The Group has consistently applied these accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated .

The IASB has issued certain amendments to IFRSs that are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Group. Note 2(c) provides information on any changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current accounting period reflected in these financial statements.

(b) Basis of preparation

The Company has changed its financial year end date from June 30 to December 31. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group are for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The comparable amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023 are therefore not comparable .

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is the historical cost basis except that other investments and redeemable shares with other preferential rights are stated at their fair value as explained in Note 2(m) and Note 2(p).

The Group has applied the following new and amended IFRSs issued by the IASB to the financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2023 :

●

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2, Disclosure of Accounting Policies

●

Amendments to IAS 12, Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

●

IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts and Amendment to IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts

●

Amendments to IAS 8, Definition of Accounting Estimates

The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the six months ended December 31, 2023 as set out in Note 34. Impacts of the adoption of the new and amended IFRSs are discussed below:

F-14

Table of Contents

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2, Disclosure of Accounting Policies

The amendments require entities to disclose material accounting policy information and provide guidance on applying the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosure. The Group has considered the accounting policy information it has been disclosing and determined that it is consistent with the requirements of the amendments.

Amendments to IAS 12, Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption such that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences on initial recognition such as leases and decommissioning liabilities. For leases and decommissioning liabilities, the associated deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be recognized from the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, with any cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity at that date. For all other transactions, the amendments are applied to those transactions that occur after the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Prior to the amendments, the Group did not apply the initial recognition exemption to lease transactions and had recognized the related deferred tax, except that the Group previously determined the temporary difference arising from a right-of-use asset and the related lease liability on a net basis on the basis they arise from a single transaction. Following the amendments, the Group has determined the temporary differences in relation to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities separately. The change primarily impacts disclosures of components of deferred tax assets and liabilities in Note 10(c), but does not impact the overall deferred tax balances presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as the related deferred tax balances qualify for offsetting under IAS 12.

Other than the Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2, Disclosure of Accounting Policies and the Amendments to IAS 12, Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction, the other two developments do not have a material effect on how the Group’s results and financial position for the current or prior periods have been prepared or presented.

(d) Basis of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interests

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. When assessing whether the Group has power, only substantive rights (held by the Group and other parties) are considered.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Intra-group balances, transactions and cash flows and any unrealized profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the Company, and in respect of which the Group has not agreed any additional terms with the holders of those interests which would result in the Group as a whole having a contractual obligation in respect of those interests that meets the definition of a financial liability. Non-controlling interests are measured initially at their proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition.

Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from equity attributable to equity shareholders of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group are presented on the face of the consolidated statement of profit or loss and consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of the total profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the period between non-controlling interests and the equity shareholders of the Company.

F-15

Table of Contents

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related non-controlling interests and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

In the Company’s statement of financial position, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses (see Note 2(h)(ii)).

(ii) Interests in equity-accounted investees

The Group’s interests in equity-accounted investees comprises interests in associates.

An associate is an entity in which the Group or Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over its management, including participation in the financial and operating policy decisions.

An interest in an associate is accounted for using the equity method.Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost, adjusted for any excess of the Group’s share of the acquisition-date fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets over the cost of the investment (if any). The cost of the investment includes purchase price, other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment, and any direct investment into the associate or joint venture that forms part of the Group’s equity investment. Thereafter, the investment is adjusted for the post acquisition change in the Group’s share of the investee’s net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment (see Note 2(h)(ii)). At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any objective evidence that the investment is impaired. Any acquisition-date excess over cost, the Group’s share of the post- acquisition, post-tax results of the investees and any impairment losses for the reporting period are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, whereas the Group’s share of the post-acquisition post-tax items of the investees’ other comprehensive income is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group’s interest is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the investee. For this purpose, the Group’s interest is the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method, together with any other long-term interests that in substance form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate, after applying the ECL model to such other long-term interests where applicable (see Note 2(h)(i)).

Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity - accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent there is no evidence of impairment.

(iii) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of

(i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree; over

(ii) the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities measured as at the acquisition date.

When (ii) is greater than (i), then this excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a gain on a bargain purchase.

Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit, or groups of cash generating units, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination and is tested annually for impairment (see Note 2(h)(ii)).

On disposal of a cash generating unit during the reporting period, any attributable amount of purchased goodwill is included in the calculation of the profit or loss on disposal.

F-16

Table of Contents

(iv) Business combinations

Except for business combinations under common control , the Group accounts of business combinations using the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Group (see Note 2(d)(i)). In determining whether a particular set of activities and assets is a business, the Group assess whether the set of assets and activities acquired includes, at a minimum, an input and substantive process and whether the acquired set has the ability to produce outputs.

The Group has an option to apply a ‘concentration test’ that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The optional concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset of group of similar identifiable assets.

(v) Asset acquisition

Groups of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assessed to determine if they are business or asset acquisitions. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group chooses to apply a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is an asset rather than business acquisition, when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.

When a group of assets acquired and liabilities assumed do not constitute a business, the overall acquisition cost is allocated to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. An exception is when the sum of the individual fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities differs from the overall acquisition cost. In such case, any identifiable assets and liabilities that are initially measured at an amount other than cost in accordance with the Group’s policies are measured accordingly, and the residual acquisition cost is allocated to the remaining identifiable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition.

When acquiring assets by obtaining a controlling interest in a legal entity that does not constitute a business as a step acquisition, the previously held equity interest is included as part of the cost of the acquisition and is not remeasured.

(e) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses (see Note 2(h)(ii)).

The cost of self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment includes the cost of materials, direct labor, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognized in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and is generally recognized in profit or loss.

No depreciation is provided in respect of the construction in progress.

F-17

Table of Contents

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:


Apartments		30 years
Leasehold improvements		Over the shorter of lease term
		or the estimated useful lives
		of the assets
Office equipment		2 – 5 years
Store operating equipment		2 – 5 years
Motor vehicles		3 - 5 years
Moulds		1 - 2 years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values, if any, are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(f) Intangible assets

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortization (where the estimated useful life is finite) and accumulated impairment losses (see Note 2(h)(ii)).

Amortization is calculated write off the cost of intangible assets with finite useful lives using straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and is generally recognized in profit or loss. Their estimated useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:


Software		5 years

Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(g) Leased assets

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the use of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from that use.

As a lessee

Where the contract contains lease component(s) and non-lease component(s), the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and accounts for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases.

At the lease commencement date, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, except for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets which, for the Group are primarily staff apartments with lease term of less than 12 months. When the Group enters into a lease in respect of a low-value asset, the Group decides whether to capitalize the lease on a lease-by-lease basis. The lease payments associated with those leases which are not capitalized are recognized as an expense on a systematic basis over the lease term.

Where the lease is capitalized, the lease liability is initially recognized at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, using a relevant incremental borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortized cost and interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and hence are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

F-18

Table of Contents

The right-of-use asset recognized when a lease is capitalized is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, and any initial direct costs incurred. Where applicable, the cost of the right-of-use assets also includes an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, discounted to their present value, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Note 2(h)(ii)). Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of right-of-use assets, using the straight-line method over the unexpired lease term.

The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or there is a change arising from the reassessment of whether the Group will be reasonably certain to exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The lease liability is also remeasured when there is a change in the scope of a lease or the consideration for a lease that is not originally provided for in the lease contract (“lease modification”) that is not accounted for as a separate lease. In this case the lease liability is remeasured based on the revised lease payments and lease term using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification. The only exceptions are rent concessions that occurred as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and met the conditions set out in paragraph 46B of IFRS 16 Leases. In such cases, the Group has taken advantage of the practical expedient not to assess whether the rent concessions are lease modifications, and recognized the change in consideration as negative variable lease payments in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the rent concessions occurred.

The Group presents right-of-use assets and presents lease liabilities separately in the consolidated statements of financial position.

(h) Credit losses and impairment of assets

(i) Credit losses from financial instruments

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, term deposits, trade and other receivables).

Other financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, including other investments, are not subject to the ECL assessment.

Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all expected cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).

The expected cash shortfalls are discounted using the following discount rates where the effect of discounting is material:

●

fixed-rate financial assets and trade and other receivables: effective interest rate determined at initial recognition or an approximation thereof.

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

In measuring ECLs, the Group takes into account reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. This includes information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

F-19

Table of Contents

ECLs are measured on either of the following bases:

●

12-month ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and

●

lifetime ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from all possible default events over the expected lives of the items to which the ECL model applies.

Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. ECLs on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors and an assessment of both the current and forecast general economic conditions at the reporting date.

For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes a loss allowance equal to 12-month ECLs unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the financial instrument since initial recognition, in which case the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

Significant increases in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of default occurring on the financial instrument assessed at the reporting date with that assessed at the date of initial recognition. In making this reassessment, the Group considers that a default event occurs when (i) the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realizing security (if any is held); or (ii) the financial asset is 30 days past due. The Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.

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

●

failure to make payments of principal or interest on their contractually due dates;

●

an actual or expected significant deterioration in a financial instrument’s external or internal credit rating (if available);

●

an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; and

●

existing or forecast changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have a significant adverse effect on the debtor’s ability to meet its obligation to the Group.

Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk is performed on either an individual basis or a collective basis. When the assessment is performed on a collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics, such as past due status and credit risk ratings.

ECLs are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in the financial instrument’s credit risk since initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss. The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

Basis of calculation of interest income

Interest income recognized in accordance with Note 2(u)(iv) is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit-impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on the amortized cost (i.e. the gross carrying amount less loss allowance) of the financial asset.

F-20

Table of Contents

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable events:

●

significant financial difficulties of the debtor;

●

a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;

●

it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;

●

significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor; or

●

the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties of the issuer.

Write-off policy

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off.

Subsequent recoveries of an asset that was previously written off are recognized as a reversal of impairment in profit or loss in the period in which the recovery occurs.

(ii) Impairment of other non-current assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, an impairment loss previously recognized no longer exists or may have decreased:

●

property, plant and equipment;

●

right-of-use assets;

●

intangible assets;

●

goodwill;

●

interests in equity-accounted investees; and

●

investments in subsidiaries in the Company’s statement of financial position.

F-21

Table of Contents

If any such indication exists, an impairment assessment is performed, where the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash - generating units (“CGU”s) (e.g. the Group’s individual self - operated stores).

●

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU.

●

Recognition of impairment losses

An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated to reduce the carrying amount of assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable) or value in use (if determinable).

●

Reversals of impairment losses

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favorable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of an asset.

A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in prior periods. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the periods in which the reversals are recognized.

(i) Inventories

Inventories are finished goods which are held for sale, including the products placed at franchisees’ stores, and low value consumables to be consumed in the ordinary course of business.

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognized as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognized.

The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realizable value is recognized as an expense in the period the write-down occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories is recognized as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognized as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

Loss of inventories is recognized as an expense in the period the loss occurs. For the products placed at franchisees’ stores, the Group bears inventory loss up to a pre-determined loss rate as agreed with franchisees. The Group requires compensations from franchisees for the inventory losses in excess of the pre-determined loss rate.

F-22

Table of Contents

(j) Contract liabilities

A contract liability is recognized when the customer pays non-refundable consideration before the Group recognizes the related revenue (see Note 2(u)). A contract liability would also be recognized if the Group has an unconditional right to receive non-refundable consideration before the Group recognizes the related revenue. In such cases, a corresponding receivable would also be recognized (see Note 2(k)).

For a single contract with the customer, either a net contract asset or a net contract liability is presented. For multiple contracts, contract assets and contract liabilities of unrelated contracts are not presented on a net basis.

When the contract includes a significant financing component, the contract balance includes interest accrued under the effective interest method (see Note 2(u)).

(k) Trade and other receivables

A receivable is recognized when the Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration. A right to receive consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. If revenue has been recognized before the Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration, the amount is presented as a contract asset.

Receivables are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method less allowance for credit losses (see Note 2(h)(i)).

(l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are assessed for ECL in accordance with the policy set out in Note 2(h)(i).

(m) Other investments

Other investments are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Changes in the fair value of the investments are recognized in profit or loss.

(n) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently stated at amortized cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(o) Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are recognized in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(p) Redeemable shares with other preferential rights

Redeemable shares with other preferential rights are redeemable at the request of the holders upon the occurrence of certain redemption events as agreed in the corresponding shareholders’ agreement.

Redeemable shares with other preferential rights are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Any transaction costs are recognized as finance costs in the consolidated statements of profit or loss.

F-23

Table of Contents

Subsequent to initial recognition, the redeemable shares with other preferential rights are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss.

(q) Interest-bearing borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are measured initially at fair value less transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognized in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy for borrowing costs (see Note 2(w)).

(r) Employee benefits

(i) Short term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(ii) Contributions to defined contribution plans

Pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC, the Group’s subsidiaries in mainland China participate in a defined contribution of basic pension insurance in the social insurance system established and managed by government organizations. The Group makes contributions to basic pension insurance plans based on the applicable benchmarks and rates stipulated by the government. Basic pension insurance contributions are recognized as part of the cost of assets or charged to profit or loss as the related services are rendered by the employees.

The Group also participates in a pension scheme under the rules and regulations of the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme Ordinance (the “MPF Scheme”) for all employees in Hong Kong, which is a defined contribution retirement scheme. The contributions to the MPF Scheme are based on minimum statutory contribution requirement of 5% of eligible employees’ relevant aggregate income. Contributions to the plan vest immediately. There are no forfeited contributions for the MPF Scheme as the contributions are fully vested to the employees upon payment to the scheme. The assets of this pension scheme are held separately from those of the Group in independently administered funds.

The Group participates in various defined contribution retirement benefit plans which are available to all other overseas subsidiaries. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a fund and the Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee services in the current and prior periods. The Group’s contributions to the defined contribution plans are expensed as incurred.

(iii) Share-based payments

The Group operates certain equity-settled share-based compensation plans, under which the Group receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments of the Group.

The fair value of share awards granted to employees is recognized as an employee cost with a corresponding increase in the share-based payment reserve. The fair value is measured at grant date, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the shares or share options were granted. Where the employees have to meet vesting conditions before becoming unconditionally entitled to the shares or share options, the total estimated fair value of the shares or share options is spread over the vesting period, taking into account the probability that the shares or share options will vest.

F-24

Table of Contents

During the vesting period, the number of shares that is expected to vest is reviewed. Any resulting adjustment to the cumulative fair value recognized in prior years is charged/credited to the profit or loss for the period of the review, unless the original employee expenses qualify for recognition as an asset, with a corresponding adjustment to the share-based payment reserve. On vesting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of shares that vest (with a corresponding adjustment to equity). For shares granted, the equity amount is transferred from share-based payment reserve to share premium.

If new equity instruments are granted to the employee and, on the date when those new equity instruments are granted, the entity identifies the new equity instruments granted as replacement equity instruments for the cancelled equity instruments, the entity shall account for the granting of replacement equity instruments in the same way as a modification of the original grant of equity instruments.

At the date the replacement awards are granted, the entity accounts for any incremental fair value in addition to the grant-date fair value of the original award. The incremental fair value is the difference between the fair value of the replacement award and the net fair value of the cancelled award, both measured at the date on which the replacement award is issued. The net fair value is the fair value of the cancelled award measured immediately before the cancellation, less any payment made to the employees on cancellation.

The Group recognizes the effects of modifications that increase the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or are otherwise beneficial to the employee. If the Group modifies the terms or conditions of the share awards granted without reducing the number of equity instruments granted in a manner that reduces the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is not otherwise beneficial to the employee, the Group nevertheless continues to recognize as a minimum the original grant date fair value of the equity instruments granted (unless those equity instruments are forfeited) as if that modification had not occurred.

(iv) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognized at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when it recognizes restructuring costs involving the payment of termination benefits.

(s) Income tax

Income tax for the period comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous periods. The amount of current tax payable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits. Deferred tax is not recognized for:

●

temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss) and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences;

●

temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future ; and

●

those related to the income taxes arising from tax laws enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two model rules published by the Organization for Economic Co – operation and Development.

F-25

Table of Contents

The Group recognized deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities separately in relation to its lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognize a deferred tax asset in full, the future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered, based on the business plans for individual subsidiaries in the Group. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilized. Such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if all of the following conditions are met:

●

the taxable entity has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities;

●

they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

●

the same taxable entity; or

●

different taxable entities, which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

(t) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

(u) Revenue and other income

Income is classified by the Group as revenue when it arises from the sale of products and the provision of services.

F-26

Table of Contents

Revenue is recognized when control over the product or service is transferred to the customer, at the amount of promised consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for the satisfaction of a specific performance obligation, excluding those amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue excludes value added tax or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any sales rebates and sales return.

The Group allocates the transaction price expected to be received from franchisees or distributors to different performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices. In particular, the consideration in arrangements with franchisees and distributors includes sales-based amounts. Such sales-based amounts are excluded from the transaction price until the sales by franchisees have occurred and would be allocated entirely to the franchise/distributor license fees as they relate entirely to the Group’s promise to provide franchisees/distributors access to the Group’s brand name and trademarks.

The Group takes advantage of the practical expedient in paragraph 63 of IFRS 15 and does not adjust the consideration for the effects of any significant financing component if the expected period of financing is 12 months or less.

Further details of the Group’s revenue and other income recognition policies are as follows:

(i) Sales of products

Retail sales in self-operated stores

Revenue from retail sales to customers in self-operated stores is recognized at the point when the end customer takes possession of and pays for the products.

Product sales to franchisees

The Group has entered into a series of agreements with certain franchisees, primarily in the PRC, Indonesia and Vietnam, which mainly include a license agreement and a sales agreement (collectively “Franchise Agreements”), whereby the franchisees are licensed to operate the franchised stores and are authorized to sell, in their own retail stores, the products that they have purchased from the Group. Revenue from sales to these franchisees is recognized at the point when they obtain the legal title of the product and become obliged to pay for the products, which is when the franchisees sell the product to their customers in the franchisees’ stores.

For product sales to franchisees, the Group has determined that the franchisees are the customers of the Group. The franchisees operate retail stores at their own chosen locations under the framework set out under the Franchise Agreements. At inception of the franchise arrangement, franchisees are required to place a deposit with the Group which covers the estimated maximum value of merchandise that their stores may hold throughout the franchise period, and this amount is reviewed upon renewal of the franchisee arrangement. The deposit is refundable at the expiry of the Franchise Agreement, provided that the franchisees have no remaining merchandise unsold and have settled other balances with the Group.

The franchisees employ and manage their own staff to operate the stores and serve their customers (i.e. end consumers who visit the stores), and bear the costs associated with the operation. The franchisees’ retail stores generally carry a wide range of merchandise that they exercise discretion to select from the Group’s array of product categories.

The franchisees are responsible for the placement, physical custody and condition of the merchandise that they have selected after the deliveries are accepted in stores. They also control the physical access to merchandise in possession through their operation of the retail stores. In general, the Group does not have any obligation or practice to accept any return of unsold products, except for rare cases such as a latent defect subject to a product recall or certain limited seasonal items that have passed their sales season.

F-27

Table of Contents

The franchisees have the right to price their merchandise within a specified range of the recommended retail price set by the Group. They also have the ability to carry out discretionary promotional campaigns for their stores or decide whether to participate in a promotional campaign launched by the Group. The franchisees can offer more discounts on selected items beyond the range specified in discretionary promotional campaigns, and will have to bear a substantial portion of reduced margin from lowering the sales price for such campaigns.

Sales to offline distributors

The Group has entered into a series of agreements with certain offline distributors, primarily overseas, which mainly include a master license agreement and a sales agreement, whereby the distributors are authorized to sub-license the operation of franchised stores in its authorized territory and sell the products that they have purchased from the Group to the franchised stores in its authorized territory. Revenue from sales of products to these distributors is recognized at the point when the products have been shipped from or delivered to the specific locations according to the detailed agreement between the Group and distributors. Revenue is recognized based on the contract price, net of sales rebates.

Online sales

Revenue from online sales to customers, which are conducted through the Group’s self-operated online stores on WeChat Mini Program and third-party e-commerce platforms, is recognized at the point when the products are delivered to customers. The Group has also entered into agreements with certain online distributors, who are authorized to sell products to customers through their online stores on various major e-commerce platforms. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods has transferred according to respective agreed terms of delivery, which is at the point in time when the distributor obtains control of the distinct good.

(ii) License fees, sales-based royalties and sales-based management and consultation service fees

Franchisees and distributors are required to provide non-refundable upfront payments in exchange for the franchise right or sub-license right, which represent primarily their right to access the Group’s brand name and trademarks. In addition, franchisees are also required to pay sales-based royalties and sales-based management and consultation services fees for such access. The fixed component of such royalties is recognized as revenue over the estimated license period, while the sales-based component is recognized as revenue when the related sales occur.

(iii) Customer loyalty program

The Group maintains spend-based customer loyalty programs for MINISO and TOP TOY brands, under which loyalty points are rewarded to end customers based on the spend level and are redeemable in future purchases when certain criteria is met. Transaction price is allocated to the product(s) and the loyalty points are rewarded on a relative standalone selling price basis. Revenue associated with the price allocation of loyalty points rewarded is deferred and a corresponding liability is established in contract liabilities.

The Group has established a premium paid membership program to cultivate customer loyalty and encourage repeat purchases. Under such membership program, customers pay membership fee in advance for subscriptions of premium members in a specific membership period, which ranges from 1 month to 1 year. Premium members are entitled to special prices for select products and additional discounts throughout membership period. The membership fee is recognized as revenue over the specific membership period. Unamortized portion of upfront membership fees received were recognized as contract liabilities.

(iv) Interest income

Interest income is recognized as it accrues using the effective interest method.

F-28

Table of Contents

(v) Government grants

Governmccsition initially when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognized as other income in profit or loss based on the timing of when the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate are incurred. Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and consequently are effectively recognized in profit or loss over the useful life of the asset by way of reduced depreciation expense.

(v) Translation of foreign currencies

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Item included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to the entity (the “functional currency”). The functional currency of the Company is United States Dollars (“USD”). As the major operations of the Group are within the PRC, the Group presents its consolidated financial statements in Renminbi (“RMB”), unless otherwise stated. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions during the reporting period are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group companies at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the end of each reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss and presented within other net income.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date when the fair value was determined.

(iii) Foreign operations

The results of foreign operations are translated into RMB at the exchange rates approximating the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Statement of financial position items are translated into RMB at the exchange rates at the end of each reporting period. The resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the translation reserve.

On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences in the translation reserve relating to that foreign operation is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the profit or loss on disposal is recognized.

(w) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(x) Related parties

(a)	A person, or a close member of that person’s family, is related to the Group if that person:

(i)

has control or joint control over the Group;

(ii)

has significant influence over the Group; or

F-29

Table of Contents

(iii)

is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or the Group’s parent.

(b)	An entity is related to the Group if any of the following conditions applies:

●

The entity and the Group are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).

●

One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).

●

Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.

●

One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.

●

The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group.

●

The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a).

●

A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

●

The entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the Group or to the Group’s parent.

Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity.

(y) Segment reporting

Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Group’s various lines of business and geographical locations.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

3 Accounting judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.

F-30

Table of Contents

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the financial statements is included in the following notes:

●

Note 2(u)(i)—product sales to franchisees: whether revenue from product sales to franchisees is recognized at the point when the franchisees sell the product to their customers in the franchisees’ stores

●

Note 2(u)(ii)—license fees, sales-based royalties and sales-based management and consultation services fees: whether revenue is recognized over time

Note 29 contains information about the assumptions and their risk factors relating to measurement of ECL allowance for trade receivables and fair value of financial instruments. Other significant sources of estimation uncertainty are as follows:

(a) Write down of inventories

The Group determines the write-down for obsolescence , anticipated markdown and low demand of inventories. Write-down of inventories is recorded when estimated net realizable value is less than cost. In determining write-down of inventories, the Group considers factors such as inventory aging, forecasted product demands, historical pricing trends and anticipated future pricing strategies. It could change significantly as a result of change in the product demands and pricing strategies due to change in market condition.

(b) Impairments of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets related to self-operated stores

In considering the impairment losses that may be required for certain property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets related to self-operated stores, recoverable amount of these assets needs to be determined, being the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgment relating to items such as forecasted sales. The Group uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of items such as forecasted sales. It is difficult to precisely estimate fair value less costs of disposal because market rentals used to estimate the self-operated stores’ fair value less costs of disposal may not be readily available. The Group evaluates market rentals with the assistance of valuation professionals.

Deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses and other deductible temporary differences carried forward are recognized and measured based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting periods. In determining the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets, expected taxable profits are estimated which involves a number of assumptions relating to the operating environment of the Group and requires significant level of judgement exercised by the directors. Any change in such assumptions and judgement would affect the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets to be recognized and hence the net profit in future years.

(d) Share-based compensation

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is estimated using a model which requires the determination of the appropriate inputs. The Group has to estimate the forfeiture rate in order to determine the amount of share-based compensation expenses charged to the statement of profit or loss. The assumptions and models used for estimating the fair value of share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 27.

F-31

Table of Contents

(e) Fair value measurement of redeemable shares with other preferential rights

The redeemable shares with other preferential rights are not traded in an active market and the respective fair value is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group has used the discounted cash flow method to determine the underlying equity value and adopted equity allocation model to determine the fair value of the redeemable shares with other preferential rights. Key assumptions, such as weighted average cost of capital, risk-free interest rate, lack of marketability discount and volatility are disclosed in Note 25. Considerable judgement is required to interpret market data used in the valuation techniques. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

(f) Depreciation and amortization

Property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets, are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded during any reporting periods. The useful lives are based on the Group’s historical experience with similar assets. The depreciation and amortization expenses for future periods are adjusted if there are material changes from previous estimates.

4 Segment reporting

The Group manages its businesses by divisions, which are organized by a mixture of both brands and geography. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has presented two reportable segments of MINISO brand and TOP TOY brand during the years ended June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023 and the six months ended December 31, 2023.

Other operating segments have been aggregated and presented as “other segment”. Business included as other segment did not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023 and the six months ended December 31, 2023. The segment information is as follows:


Reportable segments		Operations
MINISO brand		Design, buying and sale of lifestyle products
TOP TOY brand		Design, buying and sale of pop toys

(i)	Segment results, assets and liabilities

F-32

Table of Contents

Information related to each reportable segment is set out below. Segment profit/(loss) before taxation is used to measure performance because management believes that this information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments.

The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted the Group’s revenue and operations during the years ended June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023.

F-40

Table of Contents

During the year ended June 30, 2021, the emergence of new variants has adversely impacted the Group’s retail sales and product sales to franchisees in the PRC due to governmental restrictions in public places to reduce the spread of virus. The sales of stores owned by overseas distributors have also been adversely affected due to the temporary closure and reduction of operating hours on occasion, which resulted in a reduction in revenue from sales to overseas distributors during the year ended June 30, 2021.

During the year ended June 30, 2022, the outbreak of the Delta and Omicron variants of COVID-19 in several provinces in the PRC caused temporary store closures and suspension of online sales in these areas, as a result of governmental restriction measures. Accordingly, the Group recorded lower revenues in these impacted provinces during the year ended June 30, 2022. The sales of stores owned by overseas distributors gradually recovered although some of those stores that resumed operations also had reduced operating hours due to regional resurgences of COVID-19 during the year ended June 30, 2022.

During the first half of the year ended June 30, 2023, the Group’s retail sales and product sales to franchisees in the PRC were negatively affected by outbreaks of the Omicron variants of COVID-19. This was due to governmental control measures and an increased number of COVID-19 cases. After control measures were eased in December 2022 and daily life returned to normal for consumers, the sales of most of the Group’s self-operated stores and stores owned by franchisees in the PRC gradually recovered in the second half of the year ended June 30, 2023. During the year ended June 30, 2023, the sales of most of the Group’s overseas self-operated stores and distributor-owned stores have returned to pre-pandemic levels, as more and more jurisdictions lifted their pandemic control measures.

During the six months ended December 31, 2023, the Group’s retail sales and product sales to franchisees and distributors in both the PRC and overseas have recovered from the impact of COVID-19 pandemic with a more normalized travel over the world.

(Loss)/profit used to determine basic earnings per share	(1,298,081)	636,594	1,768,502	1,248,405

The unvested restricted shares granted to employees under the 2020 Share Incentive Plan (see Note 27) are entitled to non-forfeitable dividends during the vesting period.

(b) Diluted (loss)/earnings per share

Diluted (loss)/earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary shares.

There was no difference between basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended June 30, 2021 as the effect of the restricted shares granted to employees (see Note 27(a)) and share options granted to employees (see Note 27(b)) would be anti-dilutive.

For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 and the six months ended December 31, 2023, the calculation of diluted earnings per share were based on the profit attributable to ordinary equity shareholders of the Company of RMB638,170,000, RMB1,768,926,000 and RMB1,248,405,000 and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 1,216,637,439, 1,250,545,116 and 1,251,635,862 shares, respectively, after adjusting by the dilutive effect of share incentive plan, calculated as follows:

Notes:

(i)	Property – right-of-use assets

The Group leases properties for its self-operated stores, warehouse storage and office space. The leases of self-operated stores and warehouse storage typically run for two to ten years. Leases of offices space typically run for a period of two to five years.

As at June 30, 2022, 2023 and December 31, 2023, right-of-use assets related to leased properties for self-operated stores amounted to RMB333,649,000, RMB585,231,000 and RMB998,032,000, respectively.

Variable lease payments based on sales

Some leases of self-operated stores contain variable lease payments, which typically range from 1% to 18% of the annual or monthly sales that each store makes in excess of a certain breakpoint predetermined with landlord. These terms are common in retail stores in countries such as United states, Canada and Singapore where the Group operates.

(ii)	Warehouse equipment – right-of-use assets

The Group leases warehouse equipment, with lease terms of two to three years.

(iii)

Land use right

The Group acquired the land use right of a parcel of land located in the PRC during the year ended June 30, 2022 through the acquisition of a subsidiary as disclosed in Note 28(b), with an original lease term of 40 years.

Table of Contents

(iv)	Rental deposits

The refundable rental deposit itself is not part of the lease payments and is in the scope of IFRS 9. Therefore, the rental deposit should be measured at fair value on initial recognition. The difference between the initial fair value and the nominal value of the deposit is an additional lease payment made by the Group and it is included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets.

(v)	COVID-19-Related Concessions

The Group has early adopted the 2020 Amendment to IFRS 16, Leases, COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions and the 2021 Amendment to IFRS16, Leases, COVID-19-Related Concessions beyond 30 June 2021, and has applied the practical expedient introduced by the Amendment to all eligible rent concessions received by the Group during the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2022.

In June 2023, the Group invested in an unlisted limited partnership enterprise (the “Partnership Enterprise”) with consideration of USD10,409,000 (equivalent to RMB73,870,000). The Partnership Enterprise is specialized in equity investment. According to the partnership agreement, the Partnership Enterprise is managed by its general partner. The Group participates in the Partnership Enterprise as one of the limited partners who does not have power on selection nor removal of assets manager or general partner of the Partnership Enterprise. In addition, the Group does not have any right on making operating, investing and financing decision of the Partnership Enterprise. The director is of the opinion that the Group does not have any control nor significant influence to affect the variable returns through its investment in the Partnership Enterprise, and the investment’s contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, therefore, this investment is accounted for as a financial asset measured at FVTPL. The Group has an intention of holding such investment as a long-term investment.

Information about the Group’s fair value measurement is included in Note 29(e).

(a) Share awards

On August 27, 2018, the board of directors approved the grant of restricted shares of the Company to certain employees of the Group. Some of the restricted shares granted were immediately vested upon grant, while the remaining shares will vest according to individual vesting schedules ranging from two to four years from the grant date. The vesting is conditional upon employees remaining in service throughout a specified period (“Specified Service Period”) without any performance requirements.

If employees leave the Group before a qualified IPO takes place, the awarded shares will be forfeited. The forfeited shares will be repurchased by a shareholder designated by the Group at the original exercise price, and with an additional 10% per annum interest, where applicable. As such, the actual vesting period of the restricted shares is dependent on the occurrence of an IPO. The Group considered that an IPO was probable to occur and has recognized the share-based compensation expenses over the estimated actual vesting period, which is based on the estimate of when an IPO will occur or the Specified Service Period, whichever is longer.

The major assets of YGF Investment comprised the land use right and prepayments for the construction project of a new headquarters building, for which no substantive progress was made as at the date of acquisition. The directors of the Company determined that the acquisition of assets and liabilities through acquisition of a subsidiary does not constitute a business combination. As such transaction is a step acquisition, the carrying amount of the previously owned 20% equity interest was included as part of the cost of the acquisition and was not remeasured at the date of acquisition.

The following summarizes the amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in Group’s consolidated financial statements at the date of acquisition:


		RMB’000
Property, plant and equipment		10,290
Right-of-use assets		1,781,595

29 Financial risk management and fair values

Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks arises in the normal course of the Group’s business. The Group’s exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Group to manage these risks are described below.

(a)	Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and term deposits is limited because the counterparties are banks and financial institutions with high-credit-quality, for which the Group considers having low credit risk.

F-73

Table of Contents

Trade receivables

The Group’s trade receivables mainly derive from sales of goods to distributors and franchisees.The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer rather than the industry or country in which the customers operate and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Group has significant exposure to individual customers. At June 30, 2022 and 2023 and December 31, 2023, 53%, 40% and 40% of the total trade receivables were due from the Group’s five largest debtors, respectively.

Individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer’s history of making payments when due and current ability to pay and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates.

Trade receivables relating to certain sales of fixtures to franchisees are collected by instalments within the periods ranging from 32 to 36 months. All other trade receivables are due within 20 to 180 days from the date of billing. Debtors with balances that are more than 6 months past due are requested to settle all outstanding balances before any further credit is granted. Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from customers.

The Group measures loss allowances for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, which is calculated using a provision matrix. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not indicate significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Group’s different customer bases.

Loss allowances of RMB53,752,000,RMB75,119,000 and RMB57,537,000 for trade receivables mainly from certain overseas distributors were made during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 and the six months ended December 31,2023 due to deterioration of financial status of these distributors.

Expected loss rates are based on actual loss experience over the past 2 to 3 years. These rates are adjusted to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historic data has been collected, current conditions and the Group’s view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.

Movement in the loss allowance account in respect of trade receivables during the reporting periods presented is as follows:


		RMB’000
Balance at July 1, 2021		(59,827)

●

Write-off of RMB10,476,000 of trade receivables due from certain distributors with loss allowance fully provided.

The Group does not provide any guarantees which would expose the Group to credit risk.

Other receivables

In determining the ECL for remaining other receivables, the management of the Group has taken into account the historical default experience and forward-looking information, as appropriate. The management of the Group has assessed that other receivables have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and risk of default is insignificant, and therefore, no credit loss allowance of other receivables is considered necessary by management for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 and the six months ended December 31, 2023.

(b) Liquidity risk

As at June 30, 2022 and 2023 and December 31, 2023, the Group’s net current assets amounted to RMB4,283,891,000,RMB6,018,410,000 and RMB5,920,655,000, respectively. Individual operating entities within the Group are responsible for their own cash management, including the short-term investment of cash surpluses and the raising of loans to cover expected cash demands, subject to approval by the board when the borrowings exceed certain predetermined levels of authority. The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash, readily realizable marketable securities and adequate committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.

The Group relies on the cash generated from operating activities as the main source of liquidity. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 and the six months ended December 31, 2023, the Group had net cash generated from operating activities of approximately RMB1,406,262,000,RMB1,666,030,000 and RMB1,097,541,000 respectively. In addition, the management of the Group monitors the utilization of borrowings and ensures compliance with borrowing covenants, if any. The Directors believe that the Group and the Company will have sufficient funds available from the operating activities to meet their financial obligations in the foreseeable future.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group does not account for any fixed-rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss at the end of each reporting periods. Therefore, interest-bearing financial instruments at fixed rates do not expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from restricted cash and cash at bank at variable rates, which exposes the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group determines the appropriate weightings of the fixed and floating rate interest-bearing instruments based on the current market conditions and performs regular reviews and monitoring to achieve an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate exposure. The Group does not enter into financial derivatives to hedge interest rate risk.

(ii) Sensitivity analysis

At June 30, 2022, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates, with all other variable held constant, would have increased/decreased the Group’s profit for the year and decreased/increased accumulated losses by approximately RMB37,397,000.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023, it is estimated that a general increase/decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates, with all other variable held constant, would have increased/decreased the Group’s profit for the reporting periods and retained earnings by approximately RMB42,401,000 and RMB24,363,000, respectively.

(d) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk primarily through sales and purchases which give rise to receivables, payables and cash balances that are denominated in a foreign currency, i.e. a currency other than the functional currency of the operations to which the transactions relate. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily United States dollars, Euros and Hong Kong Dollars. The Group manages this risk as follows:

(ii) Sensitivity analysis

The following table indicates the instantaneous change in the Group’s profit after tax (and accumulated loss/retained earnings) that would arise if foreign exchange rates to which the Group has significant exposure at the end of each reporting period had changed at that date, assuming all other risk variables remained constant.

Results of the analysis as presented in the above table represent an aggregation of the instantaneous effects on each of the Group entities’ profit after tax and equity measured in the respective functional currencies, and then translated into Renminbi at the exchange rate ruling at the end of the reporting periods for presentation purposes.

The sensitivity analysis assumes that the change in foreign exchange rates had been applied to re-measure those financial instruments held by the Group which expose the Group to foreign currency risk at the end of each reporting period, including inter-company payables and receivables within the Group which are denominated in a currency other than the functional currencies of the lender or the borrower. The analysis excludes differences that would result from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations into the Group’s presentation currency.

(e) Fair value measurement

(i) Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value

Fair value hierarchy

The following table presents the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments measured at the end of each reporting period presented on a recurring basis, categorized into the three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13, Fair value measurement.

The level into which a fair value measurement is classified is determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:

●

Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

●

Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available.

F-81

●

Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs.

The following table presents the Group’s financial assets that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting date:


	Fair value at	Fair value measurements as at

During the years ended June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or transfer into or out of Level 3. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, the investment in an unlisted Partnership Enterprise was transferred from Level 2 to Level 3. The Group’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy as at the end of each reporting period in which they occur.

Other investments in Level 1 as at June 30, 2022 represented an investment in monetary fund. The fair value of this investment was determined based on the market price at the balance sheet date.

Other investments in Level 2 as at June 30, 2022 and 2023 and December 31, 2023 mainly represented investments in trust investment schemes and a wealth management product.The fair value of these investments was determined by the Group with reference to the fair value quoted by the trust companies or bank, that established and managed the investments (see Note 17), using expected return rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk, remaining terms and other market data.

The Group invested in an unlisted Partnership Enterprise in late June 2023 with a consideration of USD10,409,000 (equivalent to RMB73,870,000). As at June 30, 2023, the fair value of this investment was measured at the investment consideration, which represented the recent transaction price, and was classified as Level 2.

F-82

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2023, the fair value of the investment in unlisted Partnership Enterprise was determined using summation method of cost approach with the assistance of an independent valuer, based on recent transaction price of the underlying enterprise invested by this Partnership Enterprise and the predetermined distribution mechanism of returns set out in the agreement of the Partnership Enterprise. This investment was classified as Level 3 as no observable inputs for which market data could be used to measure the fair value.

The gains arising from the remeasurement of fair value of other investments are included in other net income in the consolidated statements of profit or loss.

(ii)

Fair values of financial assets and liabilities carried at other than fair value

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments carried at amortized cost are not materially different from their fair values as at June 30, 2022 and 2023 and December 31, 2023 because of the short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

31 Contingencies

(a)	The commitment of tax payments

On October 13, 2020, Mingyou Industrial Investment (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (“Mingyou”), being a subsidiary of the Group’s equity-accounted investee prior to October 27, 2021 and a subsidiary of the Group since October 27, 2021, was set up to acquire the land use right of a parcel of land and to establish a new headquarters building for the Group in a district in Guangzhou, the PRC. In connection with the acquisition of the land use right and the construction of new headquarter building by Mingyou, on November 26, 2020, MINISO (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (“MINISO Guangzhou”) entered into a letter of intent (“the Letter”) with the local government of that district, whereby MINISO Guangzhou committed to the local government that the aggregate amount of tax levies paid by the subsidiaries of MINISO Guangzhou in that district and Mingyou would be no less than RMB965,000,000 for a five-year period starting from January 1, 2021, with RMB160,000,000 in 2021, RMB175,000,000 in 2022, RMB190,000,000 in 2023, RMB210,000,000 in 2024 and RMB230,000,000 in 2025. If the above entities fail to meet such commitment, MINISO Guangzhou will be liable to compensate for the shortfall.

F-83

Table of Contents

In January 2021 and April 2022, MINISO Guangzhou had provided performance guarantees of RMB160,000,000 and RMB175,000,000 respectively issued by a commercial bank to this local government in respect of the commitments of tax payments for the calendar years of 2021 and 2022. The above entities had met the commitments for the calendar years of 2021 and 2022 and therefore MINISO Guangzhou was not required to make any compensation to the local government under the above performance guarantees. The above performance guarantees have expired on March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

In March 2023, MINISO Guangzhou provided a performance guarantee of RMB190,000,000 issued by a commercial bank to this local government in respect of the commitment of tax payments for the calendar year of 2023, which is valid from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024. The directors have assessed that, based on the projection of and actual relevant taxes and surcharges paid and payable during the calendar year of 2023, the above entities are expected to meet and have met the commitment for the calendar year of 2023 and it thus is not probable that MINISO Guangzhou needs to make such compensation to the local government under the above performance guarantee. No provision has therefore been made in respect of this matter as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2023.

(b)	Lawsuit relating to illicit competition

During the year ended June 30, 2022, Shenzhen Purcotton Technology Co., Ltd. initiated a legal proceeding against certain PRC subsidiaries of the Group, one of the Group’s suppliers and a store operated by one of the Group’s franchisees relating to an illicit competition dispute. The total amount claimed against the PRC subsidiaries was approximately RMB30 million. No provision was made in respect of this claim as of June 30, 2022 as the directors believed the probability of losing the case was low based on the assessment of the Group’s litigation counsel at that time.

During the year ended June 30, 2023, a provision amounting to RMB30,000,000 was made based on the first instance judgment made by the court despite that the Group had filed an application of appeal to the court.

As of December 31, 2023, the final judgment has been made by the court that the first instance judgment should be upheld, and the application of appeal filed by the Group has been dismissed. RMB30,000,000 has been paid to the plaintiff during the six months ended December 31, 2023.

(c)	Securities class action

A putative securities class action lawsuit relating to the disclosures in the Company’s IPO registration and prospectus was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s officers and directors on August 17, 2022 in the United States. Plaintiffs purport to bring this action on behalf of a class of similarly situated investors and seek monetary damages on behalf of the class. The lead plaintiff was appointed in November 2022 and has filed the complaint to the court. As of June 30, 2023, the Company and other defendants has filed the motion to dismiss the complaint and a decision was pending. This action remained at its preliminary stage and the directors are unable to assess the outcome of the action or reliably estimate the potential losses, if any.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company and other defendants has completed briefing on the motion to dismiss and a decision was still pending.The directors and the Group’s litigation counsel were still unable to assess the outcome of the action or reliably estimate the potential losses, if any.

Subsequently on February 23, 2024, the motion to dismiss the complaint was granted by the court with leave to amend. Plaintiffs have filed a motion for reconsideration of the court’s decision and intended to file a further amended complaint.
