SET requests to clarify news or information Subject : Clarification of news or information requested by SET Description : As the Stock Exchange of Thailand ("SET") has issued a letter to X Bioscience Public Company Limited ("the Company") concerning the auditor's observations on the financial statements for the first quarter of 2026, SET has requested the Company to provide additional clarification and disclose the information through the SET system by June 16, 2026, as follows: 1. Material Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern The Company wishes to clarify that the auditor raised concerns about material uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. This stems from the overall business situation, including the reduction of operating branches without opening new ones to replace them, resulting in accumulated losses and liquidity issues. In response, the Company has implemented measures to strengthen the performance of its core branches and prepared a financial rehabilitation plan, which includes: - Capital increase to enhance liquidity - Debt restructuring with external creditors - Development of new projects expected to generate revenue, such as the acquisition of a Japanese omakase restaurant business 2. Advance Payment for Land and Buildings in Nonthaburi Province The Company wishes to clarify that the advance payment of THB 10 million was made under preliminary conditions to assess the feasibility of acquiring land and buildings in Nonthaburi Province. The purpose was to establish a central facility for raw material management, warehousing, and distribution systems for the Company's restaurant group, as part of its supply chain management strategy to improve efficiency and reduce long-term operating costs. However, the Company has reconsidered the project, taking into account economic conditions, financial liquidity, investment suitability, and the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. At present, the Company is proceeding in accordance with the rights and conditions stipulated in the relevant contract concerning the THB 10 million advance payment, and will act prudently to safeguard the Company's interests, while providing updates to shareholders and investors as appropriate. 3. Significant Increase in Net Loss The Company wishes to clarify that in Q1/2026, it recorded a net loss of THB 336 million, representing an increase of 437% compared to the same period of the previous year. The primary reason was a rise in administrative expenses of THB 316 million, or 774%, resulting from business restructuring and branch reduction from 14 branches to only 4 core branches at the end of the quarter. The higher losses and administrative expenses were mainly due to impairment recognition of assets related to past investments, which were assessed to have declined in value in line with market conditions and changes in operating performance. Despite the reduction in branches, the Company remains committed to maintaining its customer base and brand presence in the food business sector. The remaining branches continue to operate to build customer confidence and preserve the Company's market image. The Company believes that business restructuring and strict cost management will mitigate the impact of expenses and support the long-term stability of its operations.
