1.    Industry Development Situation

In the first half of 2023, the iron and steel industry showed a situation of rebounding production and weak consumption internally
and externally strong, which fell short of expectations as a whole. Especially in the second quarter, the demand of the downstream

weak. In the first half of the year, the steel market was still in a state of "high cost" and "low profit".

During the reporting period, the main businesses engaged in by the company include iron and steel smelting, rolling processing,
power generation, coal chemical industry, special steel profiles, railways, import and export trade, scientific research, product sales,
etc., and basically established a high-quality steel base mainly for automobile steel. More than 60 varieties and more than 7,500
specifications of product series have been formed, and the proportion of high value-added and high-tech products has reached
more than 80%. Leading products such as automotive surface panels, home appliance panels, oil pipeline steel, container panels,
and ship panels are widely used in the fields of automobiles, home appliances, petrochemicals, aerospace, machinery
manufacturing, energy transportation, architectural decoration, and metal products, and exported to more than 60 countries and
regions. During the reporting period, there was no major change in the company's main business.

X. Risks Faced by the Company and Countermeasures

1. Macroeconomic policy risks


In 2023, the Russia-Uzbekistan war and geopolitical conflicts will continue, the century-old changes will accelerate, the Federal
Reserve will continue to raise interest rates, and the recovery of the world economy will be weak. The foundation for my country's
economic recovery is not yet solid. Economic development is facing triple pressures of demand contraction, supply shocks, and
weakening expectations. The external export environment is severe and the downward pressure on the economy is increasing. The
downstream demand of the domestic iron and steel industry is generally weak, and the market pattern of supply exceeding demand
has not changed fundamentally. The optimization and adjustment of domestic iron and steel layout is accelerating, the strategic
restructuring of iron and steel enterprises continues to advance, and changes in domestic fiscal and financial policies to stabilize
growth will bring many uncertain factors to the development of the iron and steel industry.


Countermeasures: First, strengthen research on national fiscal, financial and industrial policies, fully, accurately and
comprehensively implement new development concepts, and continuously improve the forward-looking and effectiveness of
policy research. The second is to seize the opportunities for macro policy adjustment and development, optimize and adjust
strategic planning in a timely manner, focus on key areas such as safety, greenness, efficiency, intelligence, and high-quality
products, adhere to extreme thinking, deepen lean operations, accelerate the conversion of old and new growth drivers, and
actively promote green and low-carbon transformation and upgrading , create more comparative advantages, continuously improve
core competitiveness, and strive to achieve high-quality development of the enterprise.


2. Raw material and fuel prices and supply risks


The monopoly situation of global iron ore supply is difficult to change in the short term, domestic iron ore demand is highly
dependent on foreign countries, and strategic resources such as coal and coke have obvious shortcomings. The implementation
time of the "Cornerstone Plan" of my country's steel industry is short, and the independent controllability of the supply chain of the
steel industry chain is relatively weak. The financial attributes of black ore and coal coke resources have been enhanced, and
domestic and foreign hot money speculation is frequent. Energy conservation and emission reduction policies continue to deepen,
the production capacity of upstream coal coke enterprises is limited, various internal and external factors lead to frequent
fluctuations in the price of raw materials and fuels, and the risk of raw materials and fuel prices and security supply increases.


Countermeasures: First, adhere to the "predictive" business procurement concept, strengthen the analysis and judgment of raw
material supply and market demand, build a raw material procurement model, scientifically control the procurement timing, and
adjust the procurement strategy in a timely manner. The second is to strengthen strategic cooperation in the supply of raw
materials and fuels, consolidate and expand domestic raw and fuel procurement channels, deeply aggregate raw and fuel resources,
accelerate the formation of a domestic and foreign dual-cycle supply chain security guarantee pattern, and enhance the price
advantage of large-scale procurement. The third is to optimize the structure of production furnace materials, adjust the
procurement structure of raw materials and fuels, reasonably control the inventory of raw materials and fuels, effectively reduce
the adverse effects caused by fluctuations in the prices of raw materials and fuels, and minimize the cost of raw materials and fuels.


3. Environmental protection risks


With the continuous strengthening of the country's environmental protection and the promotion of "carbon peaking and carbon
neutrality", the environmental protection department continues to increase the supervision of pollution control in the iron and steel




                                                                                                                                         26

industry, and the investment in environmental protection and operating costs of iron and steel enterprises have increased, and iron
and steel enterprises will face increasing pressure on environmental protection and governance.


Countermeasures: The first is to establish a sound production and operation system for green and low-carbon circular development,
that is, to further improve resource and energy utilization efficiency, promote ultra-low emission transformation and
comprehensive pollutant management, and continue to reduce carbon emission intensity through equipment energy-saving and
environmental protection upgrades and advanced technology promotion and application. The second is to actively carry out
product ecological design and life cycle assessment to create green and low-carbon products. The third is to strengthen the
operation and maintenance and standardized operation control of existing environmental protection equipment and facilities,
focusing on strengthening the monitoring of air pollution sources. The fourth is to build a "AAA" scenic garden-style factory as a
starting point, and strive to improve the environment of the factory area.

Applicable □Not applicable


1. From January to June, the comprehensive energy consumption per ton of steel was 546kgce, which was 19.5kgce lower than the
plan and 41.6kgce lower than the same period last year. The main work is that the iron-to-steel ratio is 0.887, which is 0.03 lower
than the plan, and the comprehensive energy consumption is reduced by 11kgce; the second is to strengthen the economic
operation of each main production process, improve the recovery of residual energy, and the energy consumption of sintering,
coking, blast furnace, steelmaking and other processes have all completed the plan, and the year-on-year reductions have been
different.


2. According to the maintenance situation of each production line and the gas balance plan, adjust the gas consumption of users

5.   Accounting Treatment of Business Combinations under Common Control and not under Common
     Control

Business combination under common control: The assets and liabilities acquired by the merging party in the
business combination (including the goodwill formed by the acquisition of the merged party by the ultimate
controlling party) shall be measured on the basis of the book value of the assets and liabilities of the merged
party on the merger date in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party. The
difference between the book value of the net assets obtained in the merger and the book value of the merger
consideration paid (or the total par value of the issued shares) is adjusted to the share premium in the capital
reserve, and if the share premium in the capital reserve is not enough to offset, the retained earnings are
adjusted.

Business combination not under common control: The combination cost is the fair value of the assets paid,
liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the purchaser in order to obtain the control of the
purchased party on the date of purchase. The Company shall recognize the positive balance between the
combination costs and the fair value of the identifiable net assets it obtains from the acquiree as goodwill. The
Company shall treat the negative balance between the combination costs and the fair value of the identifiable
net assets it obtains from the acquiree into the profits and losses of the current period. The identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree acquired in the merger that meet the recognition conditions
are measured at fair value on the date of purchase.



                                                                                                                       86
                                                                    Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


The direct related expenses incurred for the business combination shall be included in the current profit and loss
when incurred. The transaction costs of issuing equity securities or debt securities for business combination
shall be included in the initial recognition amount of equity securities or debt securities.


6.   Preparation Method of Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Scope of consolidation

The scope of consolidation of consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control, and the
scope of consolidation includes the Company and all subsidiaries. Control means that the company has power
over the investee, enjoys variable returns by participating in the relevant activities of the investee, and has the
ability to use its power over the investee to affect its return.

(2) Consolidation procedure

The Company regards the entire enterprise group as an accounting entity, and prepares consolidated financial
statements in accordance with unified accounting policies to reflect the overall financial status, operating results
and cash flow of the enterprise group. The impact of internal transactions between the Company and its
subsidiaries and between subsidiaries shall be offset. If the internal transaction shows that the relevant asset has
an impairment loss, the full amount of the loss shall be recognized.

If the accounting policy and accounting period adopted by the subsidiary are inconsistent with the Company,
necessary adjustments shall be made in accordance with the Company's accounting policy and accounting
period when preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Subsidiary owners' equity, net profit and loss for the current period and the share of minority shareholders in the
current comprehensive income are listed separately under the owner's equity item in the consolidated balance
sheet, the net profit item in the consolidated income statement, and the total comprehensive income item. The
current loss shared by the minority shareholders of the subsidiary exceeds the balance formed by the minority
shareholders in the initial owner's equity of the subsidiary, offsetting the minority shareholders' equity.

1) Add a subsidiary or business

During the reporting period, if a subsidiary or business is added due to a business combination under the same
control, the operating results and cash flows of the subsidiary or business combination from the beginning of the
current period to the end of the reporting period shall be included in the consolidated financial statements. At
the same time, the opening balance of the consolidated financial statements and the relevant items in the
comparative statements shall be adjusted, as if the consolidated reporting entity has always existed since the
time when the ultimate controlling party began to control it.

During the reporting period, if a subsidiary or business is added due to a business combination not under the
same control, it shall be included in the consolidated financial statements from the purchase date on the basis of
the fair value of each identifiable asset, liability and contingent liability determined on the purchase date.

2) Disposal of subsidiaries


                                                                                                                       87
                                                                   Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


①General treatment

When the control of the investee is lost due to the disposal of part of the equity investment or other reasons, the
remaining equity investment after disposal shall be remeasured according to its fair value on the date of loss of
control.

The difference between the sum of the consideration obtained from the disposal of equity and the fair value of
the remaining equity, minus the share of the original subsidiary’s net assets calculated continuously from the
purchase date or the merger date and the sum of goodwill calculated according to the original shareholding ratio,
the difference will be included in the investment income of the period when the control right is lost. Other
comprehensive income related to the equity investment of the original subsidiary that can be reclassified into
profit or loss, and other changes in owner's equity accounted for under the equity method are converted into
current investment income when control is lost.

②Step-by-step disposal of subsidiaries

Where the equity investment in a subsidiary is disposed of step by step through multiple transactions until it
loses control, the terms, conditions and economic impact of each transaction for disposing of the equity
investment in a subsidiary meet one or more of the following conditions, it usually indicates that the multiple
transactions are a package deal:

ⅰ.These transactions were entered into simultaneously or taking into account the mutual influence;

ⅱ.These transactions were entered into simultaneously or taking into account the mutual influence;

ⅲ.The occurrence of one transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one other transaction;

ⅳ.A transaction is not economical alone, but it is economical when considered together with other
transactions.

If each transaction belongs to a package deal, each transaction shall be accounted for as a transaction for
disposing of a subsidiary and losing control; The difference between each disposal price before the loss of
control and the share of the subsidiary's net assets corresponding to the disposal investment is recognized as
other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements, and is transferred to the current profit and
loss of the loss of control when the control is lost.

If each transaction does not belong to a package deal, before the loss of control, the equity investment of the
subsidiary is partially disposed without losing control; when the control is lost, the accounting treatment is
carried out according to the general treatment method for disposing of subsidiaries.

3) Purchase a minority stake in a subsidiary

The difference between the newly acquired long-term equity investment due to the purchase of minority shares
and the share of net assets that should be enjoyed by the subsidiary continuously calculated from the purchase
date or the merger date based on the newly increased shareholding ratio will adjust the share premium in the


                                                                                                                      88
                                                                   Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


capital reserve in the consolidated balance sheet, and if the share premium in the capital reserve is insufficient
to offset, the retained earnings will be adjusted.

4) Partial disposal of an equity investment in a subsidiary without loss of control

The difference between the disposal price and the share of the subsidiary’s net assets that has been continuously
calculated since the purchase date or the merger date corresponding to the disposal of the long-term equity
investment will adjust the share premium in the capital reserve in the consolidated balance sheet, and if the
share premium in the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings will be adjusted.


7.   Classification of Joint Arrangements and Accounting Treatment of Joint Operations

Joint arrangements are divided into joint operations and joint ventures.

Joint operation refers to a joint venture arrangement in which the joint venture party enjoys the assets related to
the arrangement and assumes the liabilities related to the arrangement.

The Company confirms the following items related to the interest share in the joint operation:

(1) Confirm the assets held individually by the Company and the assets jointly held by the Company;

(2) Confirm the liabilities borne by the Company alone and the liabilities jointly borne by the Company;

(3) Recognition of income from the sale of the Company's share of the output of joint operations;

(4) Recognize the income generated by the joint operation from the sale of output according to the share of the
Company;

(5) Confirm the expenses incurred independently, and confirm the expenses incurred in joint operation
according to the share of the Company.

The Company's investment in joint ventures is accounted for using the equity method. For details, please refer
to “V.13 Long-term equity investments” in this note.


8.   Determination Criteria for Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash refers to the Company's cash on hand and deposits that can be used for payment at any time. Cash
equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments held by the Company that are easily convertible into
known amounts of cash and have little risk of value change.




                                                                                                                      89
                                                                    Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


9.   Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements

(1) Foreign currency business

For foreign currency business, the spot exchange rate on the transaction date is used as the conversion rate to
convert the foreign currency amount into RMB for bookkeeping.

The balance of foreign currency monetary items on the balance sheet date is translated at the spot exchange rate
on the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences, except for the exchange differences arising from
foreign currency special loans related to the acquisition and construction of assets eligible for capitalization are
treated in accordance with the principle of capitalization of borrowing costs, are included in the current profit
and loss.

(2) Translation of foreign currency financial statements

The asset and liability items in the statement of financial position are converted at the spot exchange rate on the
balance sheet date; the owner's equity items are converted at the spot exchange rate at the time of occurrence
except for “Undistributed profit”. The income and expense items in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income shall be converted at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date.

When disposing of an overseas operation, the translation difference of the foreign currency financial statements
related to the overseas operation shall be transferred from the owner's equity item to the current profit and loss
of the disposal.


10. Financial Instruments

When the Company becomes a party to a financial instrument contract, it recognizes a financial asset, financial
liability or equity instrument.

(1) Classification of financial instruments

According to the Company's business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow
characteristics of financial assets, financial assets are classified into: financial assets measured at amortized cost,
financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss.

The Company classifies financial assets that meet the following conditions and are not designated as financial
assets at fair value through profit or loss as financial assets at amortized cost:

- The business model is to collect contractual cash flows;

- Contractual cash flows are only payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.




                                                                                                                       90
                                                                       Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


The Company classifies financial assets that meet the following conditions and are not designated as financial
assets at fair value through profit or loss as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
(debt instruments):

- The business model aims at both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset;

- Contractual cash flows are only payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

For non-trading equity instrument investments, the Company can irrevocably designate them as financial assets
(equity instruments) measured at fair value and whose changes are included in other comprehensive income at
the time of initial recognition. The designation is made on an individual investment basis, and the underlying
investment meets the definition of an equity instrument from the perspective of the issuer.

Except for the above financial assets measured at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive
income, the Company classifies all other financial assets as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition into: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss and financial liabilities at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities that meet one of the following conditions can be designated as financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss at the time of initial measurement:

1) Financial liabilities that meet one of the following conditions can be designated as financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss at the time of initial measurement:

2) According to the corporate risk management or investment strategy stated in formal written documents,
manage and evaluate the performance of financial liability portfolios or financial assets and financial liability
portfolios based on fair value, and report to key management personal within the Company on this basis.

3) This financial liability contains embedded derivatives that need to be separated separately.

(2) Recognition basis and measurement method of financial instruments

1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables,
long-term receivables, debt investments, etc., and are initially measured at fair value, and relevant transaction
costs are included in the initially recognized amount; excluding that the accounts receivable of the major
financing component and the accounts receivable of the financing component that the Company decides not to
consider for no more than one year shall be initially measured at the contract transaction price.

The interest calculated using the effective interest rate method during the holding period is included in the
current profit and loss.

When recovering or disposing, the difference between the price obtained and the book value of the financial
asset is included in the current profit and loss.

                                                                                                                          91
                                                                      Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (debt instruments)

Financial assets (debt instruments) measured at fair value and whose changes are included in other
comprehensive income include receivables financing, other debt investments, etc., and are initially measured at
fair value, and relevant transaction costs are included in the initial recognition amount. The financial assets are
subsequently measured at fair value, and changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income,
except for interest calculated using the effective interest rate method, impairment losses or gains, and exchange
gains and losses.

When derecognition is terminated, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive
income are transferred out of other comprehensive income and included in current profit and loss.

3) Financial assets (equity instruments) measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets (equity instruments) measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, including
other equity instrument investments, are initially measured at fair value, and relevant transaction costs are
included in the initially recognized amount. The financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value, and
changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income. Dividends obtained are included in current
profit and loss.

When derecognition is terminated, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive
income are transferred out of other comprehensive income and included in retained earnings.

4) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include transactional financial assets, derivative
financial assets, and other non-current financial assets, etc., and are initially measured at fair value, and relevant
transaction costs are included in current profit or loss. The financial assets are subsequently measured at fair
value, and changes in fair value are included in current profit and loss.

5) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities measured at fair value and whose changes are included in current profit and loss include
trading financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities, etc., and are initially measured at fair value, and
relevant transaction costs are included in current profit and loss. The financial liabilities are subsequently
measured at fair value, and changes in fair value are included in current profit and loss.

When derecognition is terminated, the difference between its book value and the consideration paid is included
in the current profit and loss.

6) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include short-term loans, notes payable, accounts payable, other
payables, long-term loans, bonds payable, and long-term payables, and are initially measured at fair value, and
relevant transaction costs are included in the initial recognition amount.


                                                                                                                          92
                                                                     Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


The interest calculated using the effective interest rate method during the holding period is included in the
current profit and loss.

When derecognition is terminated, the difference between the consideration paid and the book value of the
financial liability is included in the current profit and loss.

(3) Derecognition of financial assets and transfer of financial assets

When one of the following conditions is met, the Company derecognizes financial assets:

- Termination of contractual rights to receive cash flows from financial assets;

- The financial asset has been transferred, and almost all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial
asset have been transferred to the transferee;

- The financial assets have been transferred. Although the Company neither transfers nor retains almost all the
risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets, it does not retain control over the financial assets.

When a financial asset is transferred, if almost all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are
retained, the financial asset will not be derecognized.

When judging whether the transfer of financial assets meets the above conditions for derecognition of financial
assets, the principle of substance over form is adopted. The Company distinguishes the transfer of financial
assets into the transfer of financial assets as a whole and the transfer of parts. If the overall transfer of financial
assets meets the conditions for derecognition, the difference between the following two amounts shall be
included in the current profit and loss:

1) The book value of the financial asset transferred;

2) The consideration received due to the transfer, and the cumulative amount of changes in fair value that were
originally included in the owner’s equity (if the financial asset involved in the transfer is a financial asset (debt
instrument) that is measured at fair value and whose changes are included in other comprehensive income).

If the partial transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognition, the overall book value of the
transferred financial assets shall be apportioned between the derecognized part and the unterminated part
according to their respective relative fair values, and the difference between the following two amounts shall be
included in current profit and loss:

1) The book value of the derecognized portion;

2) The consideration for the derecognition part, and the amount corresponding to the derecognition part of the
accumulative amount of fair value changes that were originally included in the owner’s equity (the financial
assets involved in the transfer are financial assets that are measured at fair value and whose changes are
included in other comprehensive income ( in the case of debt instruments)).




                                                                                                                          93
                                                                      Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


If the transfer of financial assets does not meet the conditions for derecognition, the financial assets shall
continue to be recognized, and the consideration received shall be recognized as a financial liability.

(4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

If all or part of the current obligation of a financial liability has been discharged, the financial liability or a part
thereof shall be derecognized; if the Company signs an agreement with the creditor to replace the existing
financial liability by assuming a new financial liability, and if the contract terms of the new financial liability
and the existing financial liability are substantially different, the existing financial liability shall be
derecognized and the new financial liability shall be recognized at the same time.

If a substantive modification is made to all or part of the contract terms of an existing financial liability, the
existing financial liability or a part thereof shall be derecognized, and the financial liability after the modified
terms shall be recognized as a new financial liability.

When all or part of a financial liability is derecognized, the difference between the book value of the
derecognized financial liability and the consideration paid (including non-cash assets transferred out or new
financial liabilities assumed) is included in the current profit and loss.

If the Company repurchases part of the financial liabilities, the book value of the financial liabilities as a whole
shall be allocated on the date of repurchase according to the relative fair value of the part that continues to be
recognized and the part that is derecognized. The difference between the book value allocated to the
derecognized part and the consideration paid (including non-cash assets transferred out or new financial
liabilities assumed) is included in the current profit and loss.

(5) Determination of fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

For financial instruments with an active market, their fair value is determined by the quoted price in the active
market. For financial instruments that do not have an active market, valuation techniques are used to determine
their fair value. When valuing, the Company adopts valuation techniques that are applicable in the current
situation and supported by sufficient available data and other information, and select inputs consistent with the
characteristics of assets or liabilities considered by market participants in transactions of related assets or
liabilities, and give preference to relevant observable inputs. Use unobservable input values only when the
relevant observable input values are not available or practicable to obtain.

(6)   Test method and accounting treatment method for impairment of financial assets

The Company estimates the expected credit losses of financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial
assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (debt instruments) and financial guarantee contracts,
either individually or in combination.

The Company considers reasonable and well-founded information about past events, current conditions, and
forecasts of future economic conditions, and uses the risk of default as the weight to calculate the difference
between the cash flow receivable by the contract and the cash flow expected to be received. The probability-
weighted amount of the present value of the recognized expected credit loss. If the credit risk of the financial


                                                                                                                           94
                                                                    Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


instrument has increased significantly since the initial recognition, the Company shall measure its loss provision
at an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss of the financial instrument throughout its duration. If the
credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since the initial recognition, the Company
shall measure its loss provision at an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss of the financial instrument
within the next 12 months. The resulting increase or reversal of the loss provision is included in the current
profit and loss as an impairment loss or gain.

The Company compares the default risk of financial instruments on the balance sheet date with the risk of
default on the initial recognition date to determine the relative change in the default risk of financial instruments
during the expected duration, and to assess the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly
since initial recognition. Usually overdue for more than 30 days, the Company considers that the credit risk of
the financial instrument has increased significantly, unless there is conclusive evidence to prove that the credit
risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since the initial recognition.

If the credit risk of a financial instrument is relatively low on the balance sheet date, the Company considers
that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

If there is objective evidence that a certain financial asset has been credit-impaired, the Company shall make
provision for impairment of the financial asset on an individual basis. For the accounts receivables and contract
assets formed by the transactions regulated by “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 –
Revenue” (2017), regardless of whether they contain significant financing components, the Company calculates
them according to the expected credit loss equivalent to the entire duration to measure its loss allowance.

For lease receivables, the Company chooses to measure its loss provision at an amount equivalent to the
expected credit loss during its full lifetime.

If the Company no longer reasonably expects that the cash flow of the financial asset contract can be recovered
in whole or in part, it will directly write down the book balance of the financial assets.


11. Inventories

(1)   Classification and costs of inventories

Inventory is classified into: materials in transit, raw materials, turnover materials, stock goods, work in progress,
goods delivered, and materials for commissioned processing, etc.

Inventories are initially measured at cost, and inventory costs include purchase costs, processing costs and other
expenses incurred to bring the inventories to their current location and state.

(2)   Valuation method for dispatched inventory

Inventories are priced using the weighted average method when they are dispatched.




                                                                                                                        95
                                                                      Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


(3)   Basis for determining the net realizable value of different categories of inventories

On the balance sheet date, inventories shall be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. When the
cost of inventory is higher than its net realizable value, a provision for price of inventory decline shall be made.
The net realizable value of inventories refers to the estimated selling price of inventories in ordinary activities
minus the estimated costs to be incurred until completion, estimated sales expenses and related taxes.

Inventories of finished goods, goods in stock and materials for sale, etc., which are directly used for sale, are
determined by the estimated selling price of the inventory minus the estimated sales expenses and relevant taxes
and fees during the normal production and operation process to determine the net realizable value. Inventory of
materials that need to be processed, in the normal production and operation process, is determined by the
estimated selling price of the finished product minus the estimated cost to be incurred until completion,
estimated sales expenses and related taxes and fees to determine the net realizable value. For inventories held
for the execution of sales contracts or service contracts, the net realizable value is calculated based on the
contract price. If the quantity of inventories held exceeds the quantity ordered in the sales contract, the net
realizable value of the excess inventory is calculated based on the general sales price.

After provision for inventory decline, if the factors affecting the reduction of inventory value before have
disappeared, resulting in the net realizable value of the inventory being higher than its book value, it shall be
reversed within the amount of the original provision for inventory decline and the reversed amount is included
in the current profit and loss.

(4)   Inventory system


The Company adopts the perpetual inventory system.

(5)   Amortization of low-valued consumables and packing materials


1) Low-valued consumables shall be amortized in full amount on issuance.
2) Packing materials shall be amortized in full amount on issuance.

12. Contract Costs

Contract costs are divided into contract fulfillment costs and contract obtaining costs.

If the cost incurred by the Company for the contract fulfillment costs does not fall within the scope of relevant
standards such as inventory, fixed assets or intangible assets, it shall be recognized as an asset as a contract
fulfillment costs when the following conditions are met:

 The cost is directly related to a current or anticipated contract;

 The cost increases the company's future resources to meet performance obligations;

 The cost is expected to be recoverable.


                                                                                                                         96
                                                                    Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


If the incremental cost incurred by the Company to acquire the contract is expected to be recoverable, it is
recognized as an asset as the cost of obtaining the contract.

Assets related to contract costs are amortized on the same basis as the recognition of goods or service revenue
related to the assets; however, if the amortization period of contract acquisition costs does not exceed one year,
the Company will include them in the current profit and loss when incurred.

For assets related to contract costs, if the book value is higher than the difference between the following two
items, the Company will make provision for impairment for the excess part and recognize it as asset impairment
loss:

1. The remaining consideration expected to be obtained from the transfer of goods or services related to the
asset;

2. The estimated costs to be incurred for the transfer of the related good or service.

If the depreciation factor in the previous period changes later, so that the aforementioned difference is higher
than the book value of the asset, the Company will reverse the original depreciation provision and include it in
the current profit and loss, but the book value of the asset after the reversal shall not exceed the book value of
the asset on the transfer-back date assuming no provision for impairment is made.


13. Long-term Equity Investments

(1)   Judgment criteria for joint control and significant influence

Joint control refers to the shared control of an arrangement in accordance with the relevant agreement, and the
relevant activities of the arrangement must be unanimously agreed by the parties sharing the control right before
decisions can be made. If the Company and other joint venture parties exercise joint control over the invested
unit and have rights to the net assets of the invested unit, the invested unit is a joint venture of the Company.

Significant influence refers to the right to participate in the decision-making of the investee's financial and
operating decisions, but cannot control or jointly control the formulation of these policies with other parties. If
the Company is able to exert significant influence on the invested unit, the invested unit is an associate of the
Company.

(2)   Determination of initial investment cost

1) Long-term equity investment formed by business combination

For a long-term equity investment in a subsidiary formed by a business combination under the same control, the
initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the share of the book value of the owner's
equity of the merged party in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date
of combination. For the difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment and the
book value of the consideration paid, the equity premium in the capital reserve shall be adjusted; if the equity
premium in the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be adjusted.


                                                                                                                       97
                                                                    Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


For a long-term equity investment in a subsidiary formed by a business combination not under the same control,
the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the combination cost determined on the
purchase date.

2) Long-term equity investment obtained through other means than business combination

For long-term equity investment acquired by cash payment, the actual purchase price paid shall be regarded as
the initial investment cost.

For long-term equity investment obtained by issuing equity securities, the initial investment cost shall be the
fair value of the issued equity securities.

(3)   Subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition method

1) Long-term equity investment accounted for by cost method

The Company's long-term equity investment in subsidiaries is accounted for using the cost method, unless the
investment meets the conditions of being held for sale. Except for the price actually paid when acquiring the
investment or the cash dividends or profits that have been declared but not yet distributed included in the
consideration, the Company recognizes the current investment income according to the cash dividends or profits
declared by the invested unit.

2) Long-term equity investment accounted for by equity method

Long-term equity investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. If the
initial investment cost is greater than the difference between the share of the fair value of the identifiable net
assets of the investee that should be enjoyed at the time of investment, the initial investment cost of the long-
term equity investment will not be adjusted; The difference between the initial investment cost and the share of
the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee that should be enjoyed at the time of investment shall
be included in the current profit and loss, and the cost of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted at the
same time.

The Company recognizes the investment income and other comprehensive income respectively according to the
share of the net profit or loss and other comprehensive income realized by the invested unit that it should enjoy
or share, and adjust the book value of the long-term equity investment at the same time; The book value of the
long-term equity investment shall be correspondingly reduced according to the portion of the profits or cash
dividends declared by the investee to be distributed; For other changes in the owner's equity of the investee
other than net profit and loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution (referred to as “other changes
in owner’s equity”), the book value of the long-term equity investment is adjusted and included in the owner's
equity.

When confirming the share of the investee's net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and other changes in
owner's equity, it is based on the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets when the investment is
obtained, and in accordance with the Company's accounting policies and accounting periods. It is confirmed
after adjusting the net profit and other comprehensive income of the invested unit.


                                                                                                                       98

The unrealized profit and loss of internal transactions between the Company and its associates and joint
ventures shall be calculated according to the share attributable to the Company and offset, investment income is
recognized on this basis, except that the assets invested or sold constitute a business. If the unrealized internal
transaction loss with the invested unit is an asset impairment loss, it shall be recognized in full.

The Company’s net losses to joint ventures or joint ventures, in addition to the obligation to bear additional
losses, are limited to zero when the book value of long-term equity investments and other long-term interests
that substantially constitute net investments in joint ventures or joint ventures are reduced to zero. If the joint
venture or associated enterprise realizes net profit in the future, the Company shall restore the recognition of the
profit share after the share of the profit makes up for the share of the unrecognized loss.

3) Disposal of long-term equity investment

For the disposal of long-term equity investment, the difference between its book value and the actual acquisition
price shall be included in the current profit and loss.

If part of the long-term equity investment accounted for by the equity method is disposed of, and the remaining
equity is still accounted for by the equity method, the other comprehensive income recognized by the original
equity method shall be carried forward on the same basis as the invested entity’s direct disposal of related assets
or liabilities and shall be carried forward in corresponding proportions, changes in other owners' equity are
transferred to the current profit and loss in proportion.

If the joint control or significant influence on the invested unit is lost due to the disposal of equity investment
and other reasons, other comprehensive income recognized by the original equity investment due to the
adoption of equity method accounting, when the equity method of accounting is terminated, the accounting
treatment is carried out on the same basis as the investee directly disposing of related assets or liabilities, and
other changes in owner's equity are all transferred to the current profit and loss when the equity method of
accounting is terminated.

If the control over the invested unit is lost due to the disposal of part of the equity investment, etc., when
preparing individual financial statements, if the remaining equity can exercise joint control or significant
influence on the invested unit, it shall be accounted for using the equity method. And the remaining equity is
deemed to be adjusted using the equity method since it is acquired, and other comprehensive income recognized
before obtaining the control of the invested company is carried forward on the same basis as the invested
company's direct disposal of related assets or liabilities. Changes in other owners' equity due to the adoption of
equity method accounting and confirmation are carried forward to the current profit and loss in proportion; If
the remaining equity cannot exercise joint control or exert significant influence on the invested unit, it is
recognized as a financial asset. The difference between the fair value and the book value on the date when the
control is lost is included in the current profit and loss, and all other comprehensive income and other changes
in owner's equity recognized before obtaining the control of the invested entity are all carried forward.

If the equity investment in a subsidiary is disposed of step by step through multiple transactions until the control
is lost, if it belongs to a package deal, each transaction shall be accounted for as a transaction for disposing of
the equity investment in the subsidiary and losing control; The difference between each disposal price before
the loss of control and the book value of the long-term equity investment corresponding to the disposed equity

                                                                                                                       99
                                                                     Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


is first recognized as other comprehensive income in the individual financial statements. When the control right
is lost, it will be transferred to the current profit and loss of the loss of control right. If it does not belong to a
package deal, each transaction shall be accounted for separately.


14. Investment properties

Investment properties refers to properties held for the purpose of earning rent or capital appreciation, or both,
including leased land use rights, land use rights held and prepared to be transferred after appreciation, leased
buildings (Including buildings that are built for rent after self-construction or development activities are
completed, and buildings that are in the process of being built or developed for future rent).

Subsequent expenditures related to investment properties are included in the cost of investment properties when
the relevant economic benefits are likely to flow in and the cost can be measured reliably; otherwise, they are
included in the current profit and loss when incurred.

The Company adopts the cost model to measure the existing investment properties. The same depreciation
policy as the Company's fixed assets is adopted for the investment properties measured according to the cost
model - buildings for lease, and the same amortization policy as for intangible assets is adopted for the land use
right for lease.


15. Fixed Assets

(1) Recognition criteria

Fixed assets refer to tangible assets that are held for the production of goods, provision of labor services, lease
or operation and management, and have a useful life of more than one accounting year.

Fixed assets are recognized when the following conditions are met at the same time: 1) The economic benefits
related to the fixed assets are probable to flow into the Company;

2) The cost of the fixed asset can be measured reliably.

Fixed assets are initially measured at cost (and taking into account the impact of estimated disposal costs).

Subsequent expenditures related to fixed assets are included in the cost of fixed assets when the related
economic benefits are likely to flow in and the cost can be reliably measured; for the replaced part, its book
value is derecognized;

All other subsequent expenses are included in the current profit and loss when incurred.




                                                                                                                       100

 equipment


The depreciation of fixed assets is classified and accrued using the average-year method, and the depreciation
rate is determined according to the category of fixed assets, estimated service life and estimated net residual
value rate. For fixed assets with provision for depreciation, the depreciation amount will be determined
according to the book value after deduction of provision for depreciation and the remaining useful life in the
future period. If the service life of each component of the fixed asset is different or it provides economic
benefits to the Company in different ways, different depreciation rates or depreciation methods should be
selected to accrue depreciation separately.

(3) Disposal of fixed assets

When a fixed asset is disposed of, or it is not expected to generate economic benefits through use or disposal,
the fixed asset is derecognized. The income from the sale, transfer, retirement or damage of fixed assets after
deducting their book value and related taxes and fees is included in the current profit and loss.


16. Construction in Progress


The cost of construction in progress is measured by the actual cost incurred. Actual costs include construction
costs, installation costs, borrowing costs eligible for capitalization and other necessary expenditures incurred
before the construction in progress reaches the intended usable state. When the construction in progress reaches
the intended usable state, it will be transferred to fixed assets and depreciation will be accrued from the next
month.


17. Borrowing Costs

(1) Recognition principles for capitalization of borrowing costs

The borrowing expenses incurred by the Company, which can be directly attributable to the purchase,
construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, shall be capitalized and included in the cost of
relevant assets; other borrowing expenses shall be recognized as expenses based on the amount incurred when
they occur, and shall be calculated and included in current profit and loss.




                                                                                                                         101
                                                                     Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


Assets eligible for capitalization refer to assets such as fixed assets, investment real estate, and inventories that
require a long period of purchase, construction or production activities to reach the intended usable or salable
state.

(2) Period of capitalization of borrowing costs

The capitalization period refers to the period from the start of capitalization of borrowing costs to the cessation
of capitalization, excluding the period of suspension of capitalization of borrowing costs.

Borrowing costs start to be capitalized when the following conditions are met at the same time:

1) Asset expenditures have occurred, and asset expenditures include expenditures incurred in the form of cash
payments, transfer of non-cash assets, or assumption of interest-bearing debts for the purchase, construction or
production of assets eligible for capitalization;

2) Borrowing costs have been incurred;

3) The acquisition, construction or production activities necessary to make the asset ready for use or sale have
started.

Capitalization of borrowing costs stops when the purchased, constructed or produced assets eligible for
capitalization have reached the intended usable or salable state.

(3) Suspension of capitalization period

Capitalization of borrowing costs shall be suspended if the acquisition, construction or production process of an
asset eligible for capitalization is interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months; If
the interruption is a necessary procedure for the purchased, constructed or produced assets eligible for
capitalization to reach the intended usable state or salable state, the borrowing costs will continue to be
capitalized. Borrowing costs incurred during the interruption period are recognized as current profit and loss,
and the borrowing costs continue to be capitalized after the acquisition and construction of assets or production
activities resume.

(4) Calculation method of borrowing cost capitalization rate and capitalized amount

For special loans borrowed for the purchase, construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, the
capitalized amount of borrowing costs is determined by the amount of the borrowing costs actually incurred in
the current period of the special borrowing minus the interest income obtained by depositing the unused
borrowing funds in the bank or the investment income obtained from the temporary investment.

For general borrowings used for the acquisition, construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization,
calculate and determine the amount of borrowing costs that should be capitalized for general borrowings by
multiplying the weighted average of asset expenditures that exceed the portion of special borrowings multiplied
by the capitalization rate of general borrowings. The capitalization rate is determined based on the weighted
average actual interest rate of general borrowings.


                                                                                                                        102
                                                                      Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


During the capitalization period, the exchange difference between the principal and interest of foreign currency
special loans shall be capitalized and included in the cost of assets eligible for capitalization. The exchange
difference arising from the principal and interest of other foreign currency loans other than foreign currency
special loans is included in the current profit and loss.


18. Intangible Assets

(1) Measurement method, useful life, impairment test

A. Valuation method of intangible assets

1) Initially measured at cost when the Company acquires intangible assets

The cost of purchased intangible assets includes the purchase price, relevant taxes and other expenditures that
are directly attributable to making the asset reach its intended use.

2) Subsequent measurement

When acquiring intangible assets, analyze and judge their service life.

For intangible assets with limited service life, they are amortized within the period of bringing economic
benefits to the enterprise; if the period of intangible assets bringing economic benefits to the enterprise cannot
be foreseen, they are regarded as intangible assets with indefinite service life and shall not be amortized.

B. Estimated useful life of intangible assets with limited useful life

                            Expected useful                                                            Basis for expected

C. Judgment basis for intangible assets with indefinite useful life and procedures for reviewing their
useful life


As of the end of the reporting period, the Company had no intangible assets with indefinite useful life.

(2) Accounting policy for internal research and development expenditures

A. Specific criteria for dividing the research phase and development phase

The Company's internal research and development project expenditures are divided into research phase
expenditures and development phase expenditures.

Research phase: The phase of original planned investigation and research activities to acquire and understand
new scientific or technical knowledge, etc.




                                                                                                                        103
                                                                      Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


Development stage: Before commercial production or use, research results or other knowledge are applied to a
certain plan or design to produce new or substantially improved materials, devices, products, etc.

B. Development phase expenditures qualify for capitalization specific conditions

Expenditures in the research stage are included in the current profit and loss when incurred. Expenditures in the
development stage that meet the following conditions at the same time are recognized as intangible assets, and
expenditures in the development stage that cannot meet the following conditions are included in the current
profit and loss:

1) It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it can be used or sold;

2) It has the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

3) The way intangible assets generate economic benefits, including the ability to prove that there is a market for
the products produced by using the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself has a market, and if the
intangible asset will be used internally, it can prove its usefulness;

4) Have sufficient technical, financial and other resource support to complete the development of the intangible
asset and have the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

5) The expenditure attributable to the development stage of the intangible asset can be reliably measured.


19. Impairment of Long-term Assets

For long-term equity investment, investment real estate measured by the cost model, fixed assets, construction
in progress, right-of-use assets, intangible assets with limited service life, oil and gas assets and other long-term
assets, if there is any sign of impairment on the balance sheet date, an impairment test is required. If the results
of the impairment test show that the recoverable amount of the asset is lower than its book value, the difference
shall be recognized as an impairment provision and included in the impairment loss. The recoverable amount is
the higher of the net amount of the asset's fair value minus disposal costs and the present value of the estimated
future cash flow of the asset. Asset impairment provision is calculated and confirmed on the basis of individual
assets. If it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of a single asset, the recoverable amount of the asset
group is determined based on the asset group to which the asset belongs. An asset group is the smallest
combination of assets that can independently generate cash inflows.

For goodwill formed by business combination, intangible assets with indefinite useful life, and intangible assets
that have not yet reached the usable state, regardless of whether there is any sign of impairment, an impairment
test shall be conducted at least at the end of each year.

The Company carries out the goodwill impairment test, and the book value of the goodwill formed by the
business combination shall be apportioned to the relevant asset groups according to a reasonable method from
the date of purchase. If it is difficult to allocate to the relevant asset group, it shall be allocated to the relevant
asset group combination. The related asset group or asset group combination is the asset group or asset group
combination that can benefit from the synergistic effect of the business combination.


                                                                                                                          104
                                                                     Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


When performing an impairment test on the relevant asset group or combination of asset groups containing
goodwill, if there is any sign of impairment in the asset group or combination of asset groups related to
goodwill, first perform an impairment test on the asset group or combination of asset groups that does not
contain goodwill, calculate the recoverable amount and compare it with the relevant book value to confirm the
corresponding impairment loss. Then conduct an impairment test on the asset group or asset group combination
containing goodwill, compare its book value with the recoverable amount, if the recoverable amount is lower
than the book value, the amount of the impairment loss shall first be deducted from the book value of the
goodwill apportioned to the asset group or asset group combination, then according to the proportion of the
book value of other assets except goodwill in the asset group or asset group combination, the book value of
other assets shall be offset in proportion. Once the above asset impairment loss is confirmed, it will not be
reversed in the subsequent accounting period.


20. Long-term Deferred Expenses


Long-term deferred expenses refer to various expenses that have occurred but should be borne by the current
and subsequent periods with an amortization period of more than one year.


Long-term deferred expenses are amortized evenly during the beneficiary period.


21. Contract Liabilities


The Company presents contract assets or contract liabilities in the balance sheet according to the relationship
between performance obligations and customer payments. The Company has received or receivable the
customer's consideration and the obligation to transfer goods or provide services to the customer is listed as
contract liabilities. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis.


22. Employee Benefits

(1) Accounting treatment of short-term employee benefits

During the accounting period when employees provide services to the Company, the Company recognizes the
actual short-term remuneration as a liability, and includes it in the current profit and loss or related asset costs.

The social insurance premiums and housing provident funds paid by the Company for employees, as well as
labor union funds and employee education funds drawn according to regulations, are paid according to
regulations during the accounting period when employees provide services to the Company. The accrual basis
and accrual ratio are calculated to determine the corresponding amount of employee remuneration.

The employee welfare expenses incurred by the Company are included in the current profit and loss or the cost
of related assets according to the actual amount when they actually occur. Among them, non-monetary benefits
are measured at fair value.




                                                                                                                        105
                                                                    Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


(2) Accounting treatment of post-employment benefits


1) Defined contribution plans


The Company pays the basic endowment insurance and unemployment insurance for employees according to
the relevant regulations of the local government. During the accounting period when the employees provide
services to the Company, the amount payable is calculated according to the payment base and proportion
stipulated by the local government, recognized as liabilities, and included in current profit or loss or related
asset cost. In addition, the Company also participates in the enterprise annuity plan/supplementary pension
insurance fund approved by the relevant state departments. The Company pays premiums to the annuity
plan/local social insurance agency according to a certain percentage of the total salary of employees, and the
corresponding expenditure is included in the current profit and loss or the cost of related assets.


2) Defined benefit plans


The Company has no defined benefit plan.

(3) Accounting treatment of termination benefits

If the Company provides termination benefits to employees, the employee salary liabilities arising from the
termination benefits shall be recognized on the earlier of the following two dates and included in the current
profit and loss: when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the termination benefits provided due to the
termination of labor relationship plans or layoff proposals; when the Company recognizes costs or expenses
associated with a restructuring involving the payment of termination benefits.


23. Provisions

When the obligations related to contingencies meet the following conditions at the same time, the Company will
recognize them as provision:

1) The obligation is a present obligation of the Company;

2) It is probable that the performance of the obligation will result in an outflow of economic benefits from the
Company;

3) The amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Estimated liabilities are initially measured based on the best estimate of the expenditure required to fulfill the
relevant current obligations.




                                                                                                                      106
                                                                  Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


When determining the best estimate, factors such as risks, uncertainties and time value of money related to
contingencies shall be considered comprehensively. If the time value of money has a significant impact, the best
estimate is determined after discounting the relevant future cash outflows.

If there is a continuous range of required expenditures, and the possibility of occurrence of various outcomes
within this range is the same, the best estimate shall be determined according to the median value within the
range; in other cases, the best estimate shall be dealt with in the following situations:

     If a contingency involves a single item, it shall be determined according to the most likely amount;

     If a contingency involves multiple projects, it shall be calculated and determined according to various
possible results and related probabilities.

If all or part of the expenditure required to pay off the estimated liability is expected to be compensated by a
third party, the compensation amount shall be recognized as an asset separately when it is basically confirmed
that it can be received, and the confirmed compensation amount shall not exceed the book value of the
estimated liability.

The Company shall review the book value of estimated liabilities on the balance sheet date. If there is
conclusive evidence that the book value cannot reflect the current best estimate, the book value shall be adjusted
according to the current best estimate.


24. Revenue

(1) Accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition and measurement

The Company recognizes revenue when the Company fulfills the performance obligations in the contract, that is,
when the customer obtains control over the relevant goods or services. Obtaining the right to control the
relevant goods or services refers to being able to dominate the use of the goods or services and obtain almost all
economic benefits from them.

If the contract contains two or more performance obligations, the Company will allocate the transaction price to
each individual performance obligation in accordance with the relative proportion of the stand-alone selling
price of the goods or services promised by each individual performance obligation on the inception date of the
contract. The Company measures revenue based on the transaction price allocated to each individual
performance obligation.

The transaction price refers to the amount of consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled for
the transfer of goods or services to the customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties and
amounts expected to be refunded to the customer. The Company determines the transaction price in accordance
with the terms of the contract and in combination with its previous practices, and when determining the
transaction price, it takes into account the influence of factors such as variable consideration, significant
financing components in the contract, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to customers. The
Company determines the transaction price including the variable consideration at an amount that does not
exceed the amount that the accumulated recognized revenue is unlikely to be significantly reversed when the


                                                                                                                    107
                                                                   Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


relevant uncertainties are eliminated. If there is a significant financing component in the contract, the Company
determines the transaction price based on the amount payable in cash when the customer obtains the control of
the goods or services, and uses the actual interest rate method to amortize the difference between the transaction
price and the contract consideration during the contract period.

If one of the following conditions is met, the performance obligation shall be fulfilled within a certain period of
time; otherwise, the performance obligation shall be fulfilled at a certain point in time:

The customer obtains and consumes the economic benefits brought by the Company's performance at the same
time as the Company's performance of the contract.

The customer is able to control the goods under construction during the Company's performance.

The goods produced by the Company during the performance of the contract have irreplaceable uses, and the
Company has the right to collect payment for the performance part that has been completed so far during the
entire contract period.

For performance obligations fulfilled within a certain period of time, the Company recognizes revenue
according to the progress of the performance within that period of time, except that the progress of the
performance of the contract cannot be reasonably determined. The Company considers the nature of the goods
or services and adopts the output method or input method to determine the performance progress. When the
performance progress cannot be reasonably determined, and the incurred costs are expected to be compensated,
the Company shall recognize the revenue according to the incurred cost amount until the performance progress
can be reasonably determined.

For performance obligations fulfilled at a certain point in time, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in
time when the customer obtains control over the relevant goods or services. When judging whether the
customer has obtained control of the goods or services, the Company considers the following signs:

     The Company has the current right to receive payment for the goods or services, that is, the customer has a
current payment obligation for the goods or services.

      The Company has transferred the legal title to the product to the customer, that is, the customer already has
the legal title to the product.

    The Company has transferred the product to the customer in kind, that is, the customer has taken
possession of the product in kind.

     The Company has transferred the main risks and rewards of the ownership of the commodity to the
customer, that is, the customer has obtained the main risks and rewards of the ownership of the commodity.

     The customer has accepted the good or service, etc.

Contracts for the sale of goods between companies and customers often contain only performance obligations
for the transfer of goods or services such as steel. Such performance obligations are performance obligations
performed at a certain point in time, and the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when the

                                                                                                                     108

customer obtains control over the relevant goods or services. When judging whether the customer has obtained
control of the goods or services, the Company considers the following signs: the Company obtains the current
right to collect the goods, the legal ownership of the goods is transferred to the customer, the physical assets of
the goods are transferred to the customer, the Company transfers the main risks and rewards of the ownership of
the goods to the customer, and the customer has accepted the goods.


25. Government Grants

(1) Categories

Government grants are monetary assets or non-monetary assets obtained by the Company from the government
for free. It is divided into government grants related to assets and government grants related to income.

Asset-related government grants refer to government grants obtained by the Company for purchase and
construction or to form long-term assets in other ways. Government grants related to income refer to
government grants other than government grants related to assets.

The Company classifies government grants as assets-related specific criteria: government grants obtained by the
enterprise and used to purchase and construct or form long-term assets in other ways.

The specific criteria for the Company to classify government grants as income-related are: government grants
with specified grant targets other than asset-related government grants.

For government documents that do not clearly specify the grants object, the Company's judgment basis for
classifying the government grants as asset-related or income-related is as follows: for those that can form long-
term assets, the part of the government grants corresponding to the asset value shall be regarded as the
government grants related to assets, and the rest shall be regarded as the government grants related to income; if
it is difficult to distinguish, the government grants as a whole shall be regarded as the government grants related
to income.

(2) Timing of recognition

The Company's asset-related government grants are recognized when the government grants are actually
received, and the deferred income is evenly amortized and transferred to the current profit and loss according to
the expected service life of the long-term assets from the time the long-term assets are available for use.

The Company’s government grants related to income are recognized at the following points: if the government
grants are actually received and used to compensate the Company’s related expenses or losses in the future, it
will be included in the current non-operating income during the period when the relevant expenses are
confirmed; if it is used to compensate the relevant expenses or losses incurred by the Company, it shall be
directly included in the non-operating income of the current period when it is obtained.




                                                                                                                    109
                                                                     Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


(3) Accounting treatment

Government grants related to assets are offset against the book value of related assets or recognized as deferred
income. If it is recognized as deferred income, it shall be included in the current profit and loss in stages in a
reasonable and systematic manner within the useful life of the relevant assets (if it is related to the Company's
ordinary activities, it will be included in other income; if it is not related to the Company's ordinary activities, it
will be included in non-operating income).

Government grants related to income, which are used to compensate the relevant costs or losses of the
enterprise in the future period, shall be recognized as deferred income, and shall be included in the current profit
and loss during the period when the relevant costs or losses are recognized (if it is related to the Company's
ordinary activities, it will be included in other income; if it is not related to the Company's ordinary activities, it
will be included in non-operating income) or offset related costs or losses; If it is used to compensate the
relevant costs or losses incurred by the Company, it shall be directly included in the current profit and loss (if it
is related to the Company's ordinary activities, it will be included in other income; if it is not related to the
Company's ordinary activities, it will be included in non-operating income) or offset related costs or losses.

The policy-based preferential loan interest discount obtained by the Company is divided into the following two
situations, and the accounting treatment is carried out separately:

1) If the finance department allocates interest discount funds to the lending bank, and the lending bank provides
loans to the Company at a preferential policy rate, the Company takes the actual amount of the loan received as
the entry value of the loan, and calculates it based on the principal of the loan and the policy preferential rate
related borrowing costs.

2) If the finance department directly allocates the interest discount funds to the Company, the Company will
offset the corresponding borrowing costs with the corresponding discount interest.


26. Deferred Tax Assets / Deferred Tax Liabilities

Income tax includes current income tax and deferred tax. Except for the income tax arising from business
mergers and transactions or events that are directly included in owner's equity (including other comprehensive
income), the Company includes current income tax and deferred tax in current profit and loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognized based on the difference (temporary
difference) between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their book value.

Deferred tax assets recognized for deductible temporary differences shall be limited to the amount of taxable
income that is likely to be obtained in the future to offset the deductible temporary differences. For the
deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward to the following years, the corresponding deferred
tax assets are recognized within the limit of the future taxable income that is likely to be used to offset the
deductible losses and tax credits .

For taxable temporary differences, except for special circumstances, deferred income tax liabilities are
recognized.


                                                                                                                       110
                                                                    Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


The special circumstances that do not recognize deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities include:

     Initial recognition of goodwill;

    Transactions or events that are neither business combinations nor affect accounting profits and taxable
income (or deductible losses) when they occur.

For taxable temporary differences related to investments in associates and joint ventures, deferred tax liabilities
are recognized, unless the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and
the temporary difference is likely not to be transferred back in the foreseeable future. For the deductible
temporary difference related to the investment in associates and joint ventures, when the temporary difference is
likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future and the taxable income used to offset the deductible temporary
difference is likely to be obtained in the future, the deferred tax assets are recognized.

On the balance sheet date, the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities shall be measured at the applicable
tax rate during the period when the relevant assets are expected to be recovered or the relevant liabilities are
expected to be paid off in accordance with the provisions of the tax law.

On the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the book value of the deferred tax assets. If it is likely that
sufficient taxable income will not be obtained in the future to offset the benefits of the deferred tax asset, the
book value of the deferred tax asset shall be written down. When it is probable that sufficient taxable income
will be obtained, the reduced amount shall be reversed.

When there is a legal right to settle on a net basis and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to obtain
assets and pay off liabilities simultaneously, the current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities are
presented as the net amount after offsetting.

On the balance sheet date, the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are presented as the
net amount after offsetting when the following conditions are met at the same time:

     The taxpayer has the legal right to settle the current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities on
a net basis;

     Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are related to the income tax levied on the same taxpayer by
the same tax collection authority or to different taxpayers, but each important deferred tax asset and liability
will be reversed in the future, the taxpayers involved intend to settle the current income tax assets and liabilities
on a net basis or acquire assets and pay off liabilities at the same time.




                                                                                                                       111
                                                                    Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report




27. Leases

(1) Accounting Treatment for Operating Leases

Accounting Policy from 1 January 2021

        Lease refers to a contract in which the lessor transfers the right to use an asset to the lessee for
        consideration within a certain period of time. On the inception date of the contract, the Company
        assesses whether the contract is or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if one party to the
        contract transfers the right to control the use of one or more identified assets for a period of time in
        exchange for consideration.
        If the contract contains multiple separate leases at the same time, the Company will split the contract
        and conduct accounting treatment for each separate lease separately. If the contract contains both lease
        and non-lease parts, the lessee and lessor will separate the lease and non-lease parts.
        For rental concessions, such as rent reductions, deferred payments, etc., directly caused by the COVID-
        19 Epidemic, the Company adopts a simplified method for all lease options, and does not evaluate
        whether there is a lease change and lease classification will not be reassessed if the following
        conditions are met at the same time:
        The lease consideration after the concession is reduced or basically unchanged from that before the
        concession, and the lease consideration can be undiscounted or discounted at the discount rate before
        the concession;
        The concession is only for the lease payments payable before 30 June 30 2022. An increase in the lease
        payments payable after 30 June 2022 does not affect the fulfillment of this condition, and a decrease in
        the lease payments payable after 30 June 30 2022 does not meet this condition;
        After comprehensive consideration of qualitative and quantitative factors, it is determined that there is
        no significant change in other terms and conditions of the lease.

1) The Company acts as the lessee

① Right-of-use assets

On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets for leases other than
short-term leases and low-value asset leases. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. This cost
includes:

        The initial measurement amount of the lease liability;
        For the lease payment paid on or before the start date of the lease term, if there is a lease incentive, the
        relevant amount of the lease incentive already enjoyed shall be deducted;
        Initial direct costs incurred by the Company;
        The cost expected to be incurred by the Company for dismantling and removing the leased asset,
        restoring the site where the leased asset is located, or restoring the leased asset to the state stipulated in
        the lease terms. However, costs incurred for the production of inventories are not included.



                                                                                                                         112
                                                                     Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


The Company subsequently adopts the straight-line method to depreciate the right-of-use assets. If it can be
reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset will be obtained when the lease term expires, the
Company shall accrue depreciation within the remaining useful life of the leased asset. Otherwise, the leased
asset is depreciated over the shorter period of the lease term or the remaining useful life of the leased asset

The company determines whether the right-of-use asset has been impaired in accordance with the principles
stated in “V. (19) Impairment of Long-term Assets” in this note, and conducts accounting treatment for the
identified impairment loss.

② Lease liability

On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company recognizes lease liabilities for leases other than
short-term leases and low-value asset leases. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the
unpaid lease payments. Lease payments include:

         Fixed payments (including substantive fixed payments), if there is a lease incentive, deduct the relevant
         amount of the lease incentive;
         Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate;
         The amount expected to be paid according to the residual value of the guarantee provided by the
         Company;
         The exercise price of the option to purchase, if the Company is reasonably certain that the option will
         be exercised;
         Amounts payable for exercising the option to terminate the lease, provided the term of the lease reflects
         the exercise of the option to terminate the lease.

The Company uses the lease implicit interest rate as the discount rate, but if the lease implicit interest rate
cannot be reasonably determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount rate.

The Company calculates the interest expense of the lease liability in each period of the lease period according to
the fixed periodic interest rate, and includes it in the current profit and loss or the cost of related assets.

Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are included in current
profit or loss or related asset costs when they actually occur. After the start date of the lease term, if the
following circumstances occur, the Company will remeasure the lease liability and adjust the corresponding
right-of-use asset. If the book value of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero, but the lease liability still
needs to be further reduced, the difference is included in the current profit and loss:

         When the evaluation results of the purchase option, lease renewal option or termination option change,
         or the actual exercise of the aforementioned options is inconsistent with the original evaluation results,
         the Company will use the lease payment amount after the change and the revised discount rate to
         calculate the present value and remeasure the lease liability;
         When the actual fixed payment amount changes, the estimated payable amount of the residual value of
         the guarantee changes, or the index or ratio used to determine the lease payment changes, the Company
         recalculates the present value based on the changed lease payment amount and the original discount



                                                                                                                       113
                                                                    Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


        rate and measure the lease liability. However, where changes in lease payments arise from changes in
        floating interest rates, a revised discount rate is used to calculate the present value.

③ Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company chooses not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and low-
value asset leases, and includes the relevant lease payments in the current profit and loss or related asset costs
on a straight-line basis during each period of the lease term. Short-term lease refers to a lease with a lease term
of no more than 12 months on the commencement date of the lease term and does not include the option to
purchase. Lease of low-value assets refers to a lease with a relatively low value when the single leased asset is a
brand new asset. Where a company subleases or expects to sublease leased assets, the original lease does not
belong to low-value asset leases.

④ Lease change

If the lease is changed and the following conditions are met at the same time, the Company will account for the
lease change as a separate lease:

        The lease modification expands the scope of the lease by increasing the use rights of one or more
        leased assets;
        The increased consideration is equal to the individual price of the extended part of the leased scope
        after adjustment according to the conditions of the contract.

If the lease change is not accounted for as a separate lease, on the effective date of the lease change, the
Company re-allocates the consideration of the changed contract, re-determines the lease term, and calculates the
cash value based on the changed lease payment and the revised discount rate to remeasure the lease liability.

If the change of the lease results in a reduction in the scope of the lease or a shortening of the lease term, the
Company shall reduce the book value of the right-of-use asset accordingly, and include the relevant gains or
losses related to the partial or complete termination of the lease in the current profit and loss. If other lease
changes lead to the remeasurement of lease liabilities, the Company shall adjust the book value of the right-of-
use asset accordingly.

⑤ Rent concessions related to COVID-19 epidemic

For those who adopt the simplified method of rent reduction related to the COVID-19 epidemic, the Company
will not evaluate whether there is a lease change, and continue to calculate the interest expense of the lease
liability at the same discount rate as before the reduction and include it in the current profit and loss. The right-
of-use asset is depreciated in the same way as before. In the event of rent reduction or exemption, the Company
will use the reduced or exempt rent as the variable lease payment, and when the original rent payment
obligation is terminated by reaching a reduction agreement, the discounted amount at the undiscounted or pre-
reduction discount rate will be used to offset the cost of the relevant assets or expenses, and adjust the lease
liabilities accordingly; if the rent payment is deferred, the Company will offset the lease liabilities recognized in
the previous period when the actual payment is made.



                                                                                                                      114
                                                                  Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


For short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Company will continue to include the original contract
rent in the cost or expense of the relevant assets in the same way as before the reduction. In case of rent
reduction or exemption, the Company will use the reduced rent as the variable lease payment, and offset the
cost or expenses of related assets during the reduction or exemption period. The payables confirmed in the
previous period are deducted when the actual payment is made.

2) The Company acts as the lessor

On the commencement date of the lease, the Company classifies leases into finance leases and operating leases.
Finance lease refers to a lease that substantially transfers almost all the risks and rewards related to the
ownership of the leased asset, regardless of whether the ownership is ultimately transferred. Operating leases
refer to leases other than finance leases. When the Company acts as the lessor of the sublease, it classifies the
sublease based on the right-of-use assets arising from the original lease.

Accounting for operating lease

The lease receipts from operating leases are recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis during each
period of the lease term. The Company capitalizes the initial direct expenses related to operating leases, and
amortizes them in the current profit and loss on the same basis as the recognition of rental income during the
lease period. Variable lease payments not included in lease receipts are included in current profit or loss when
actually incurred. If the operating lease is changed, the Company will take it as a new lease for accounting
treatment from the effective date of the change, and the pre-receipt or receivable lease receipts related to the
lease before the change will be regarded as the receipts of the new lease.

(2) Accounting Treatment of Finance Lease

1) Accounting treatment of finance lease

On the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes the finance lease receivable for the finance
lease and derecognizes the finance lease assets. When the Company initially measures the receivable finance
lease, it takes the net lease investment as the entry value of the finance lease receivable. The net lease
investment is the sum of the unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the unreceived lease receipts
at the commencement date of the lease period discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease.

The Company calculates and recognizes the interest income in each period of the lease term according to the
fixed periodic interest rate. The derecognition and impairment of finance lease receivables shall be accounted
for in accordance with “V.10 Financial Instruments” in this note.

Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of net lease investment are included in
current profit or loss when they actually occur.

If the financial lease is changed and meets the following conditions at the same time, the Company shall treat
the change as a separate lease for accounting treatment:

     The change expands the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more of the leased assets;


                                                                                                                    115
                                                                    Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


     The increased consideration is equal to the individual price of the expanded part of the leased scope after
     adjustment according to the conditions of the contract.

If the modification of the financial lease is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Company handles the
modified lease according to the following circumstances:

     If the change takes effect on the lease commencement date, the lease will be classified as an operating
     lease, and the Company will account for it as a new lease from the lease change effective date, and the
     lease investment net amount before the lease change becomes effective as the lease the book value of the
     asset;

     If the change takes effect on the lease commencement date, the lease will be classified as a finance lease,
     and the Company will conduct accounting treatment in accordance with the policy on modifying or
     renegotiating the contract in “V.10 Financial Instruments” in this note.

2) Rent concessions related to COVID-19 Epidemic

     For operating leases that adopt the simplified method of rent reduction related to the COVID-19 Epidemic,
     the Company will continue to recognize the original contract rent as lease income in accordance with the
     method before the reduction. The amount of payment shall be offset against the rental income during the
     reduction or exemption period; if the rent is deferred, the Company shall recognize the rent payable as an
     account receivable during the original collection period, and offset the previously confirmed account
     receivable when it is actually received.

     For financial leases that adopt the simplified method of rental concessions related to the COVID-19
     epidemic, the Company continues to calculate interest at the same discount rate as before the concession
     and recognize it as lease income. In the event of rent reduction or exemption, the Company will use the
     reduced or exempt rent as the variable lease payment, and when the right to collect the original rent is
     waived after reaching a concession agreement, the discounted amount at the undiscounted or pre-reduction
     discount rate will offset the originally recognized lease income, the part that is not enough to be offset is
     included in investment income, and the financial lease receivables are adjusted accordingly; if the rent is
     deferred, the Company will offset the financial lease receivables confirmed in the previous period when it
     is actually received.

(3) Sale and leaseback transactions

The Company evaluates and determines whether the asset transfer in the sale and leaseback transaction is a sale
in accordance with the principles stated in “V.24 Revenue” in this note.

1) As lessee

If the asset transfer in the sale-and-leaseback transaction is a sale, the Company, as the lessee, measures the
right-of-use asset formed by the sale-and-leaseback based on the part of the book value of the original asset
related to the right to use acquired by the leaseback and recognize the relevant gain or loss only for the rights
assigned to the lessor; If the asset transfer in the sale-and-leaseback transaction is not a sale, the Company, as


                                                                                                                      116
                                                                    Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


the lessee, shall continue to recognize the transferred asset and at the same time recognize a financial liability
equal to the transfer income. For the accounting treatment of financial liabilities, please refer to “V.10 Financial
Instruments" in this note.

2) As lessor

If the asset transfer in the sale-and-leaseback transaction is a sale, the Company, as the lessor, conducts
accounting treatment for the asset purchase, and conducts accounting treatment for the asset lease in accordance
with the policy of "2. The Company as the lessor; If the transfer of assets in a sale-and-leaseback transaction is
not a sale, the Company, as the lessor, does not recognize the transferred asset, but recognizes a financial asset
equal to the transfer income. For the accounting treatment of financial assets, please refer to “V.10 Financial
Instruments” in this note.

Accounting Policies Before January 1, 2021

Leases are divided into finance leases and operating leases. A financial lease is a lease that substantially
transfers all the risks and rewards associated with ownership of an asset. Operating leases are leases other than
finance leases.

For rental concessions such as rent reductions and deferred payments that are directly triggered by the new
crown pneumonia epidemic and reached on existing lease contracts, if the following conditions are met at the
same time, the Company applies the simplified approach to all lease options and does not assess whether a lease
modification has occurred or reassess lease classification:

        The lease consideration after the concession is reduced or basically unchanged from that before the
        concession, and the lease consideration can be undiscounted or discounted at the discount rate before
        the concession;
        The concession is only for the lease payments payable before June 30, 2021. An increase in the lease
        payments payable after June 30, 2021 does not affect the fulfillment of this condition, and a decrease in
        the lease payments payable after June 30, 2021 does not meet the condition; and
        After comprehensive consideration of qualitative and quantitative factors, it is determined that there is
        no significant change in other terms and conditions of the lease.

1) Accounting for operating leases

① The lease fee paid by the Company for leased assets shall be amortized on a straight-line basis during the
entire lease period without deducting the rent-free period, and included in current expenses. The initial direct
expenses paid by the Company related to the leasing transaction shall be included in the current expenses.

When the asset lessor bears the lease-related expenses that should be borne by the Company, the Company
deducts this part of the expenses from the total rent, and the deducted rent expenses are apportioned during the
lease period and included in the current expenses.

For operating leases that adopt the simplified method of rental concessions related to the COVID-19 epidemic,
the Company will continue to include the original contract rents in the relevant asset costs or expenses in


                                                                                                                      117
                                                                  Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


accordance with the same method as before the concessions. In the event of rent reduction or exemption, the
Company will take the reduced rent as contingent rent and include it in profit or loss during the reduction or
exemption period. If the payment of rent is postponed, the Company will recognize the payable rent as an
account payable during the original payment period, and offset the payable account recognized in the previous
period when the actual payment is made.

② The lease fees collected by the Company for leasing assets shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over
the entire lease period without deducting the rent-free period, and shall be recognized as lease-related income.
The initial direct expenses paid by the Company related to leasing transactions are included in the current
expenses; if the amount is relatively large, they are capitalized and included in the current income in stages on
the same basis as the recognition of lease-related income throughout the lease period.

When the Company bears the lease-related expenses that should be borne by the lessee, the Company deducts
this part of the expenses from the total rental income, and distributes the deducted rental expenses during the
lease period. For operating leases that adopt the simplified method of rent reduction related to the new crown
pneumonia epidemic, the Company will continue to recognize the original contract rent as lease income in
accordance with the same method as before the reduction; In the event of rent reduction or exemption, the
Company will use the reduced or reduced rent as contingent rent, and offset the rental income during the
reduction or exemption period;

If the collection of rent is postponed, the Company will recognize the rent payable as an account receivable
during the original collection period, and offset the account receivable confirmed in the previous period when it
is actually received.

2) Accounting for finance leases

① Finance leased assets: On the date of commencement of the lease, the Company takes the lower of the fair
value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payment as the entry value of the leased
asset, and takes the minimum lease payment as the entry value of the long-term payables, the difference is
regarded as unrecognized financing expenses. The Company uses the actual interest rate method to amortize
unrecognized financing expenses during the asset lease period and include them in financial expenses. The
initial direct expenses incurred by the Company shall be included in the value of leased assets.

For financial leases that adopt the simplified method of rental concessions related to the new crown pneumonia
epidemic, the Company will continue to recognize unrecognized financing expenses as current financing
expenses at the same discount rate as before the reduction, continue to depreciate the financial leased assets in
accordance with the same method as before the concession. For the rent reduction or exemption, the Company
regards the rent reduction or exemption as the contingent rent, when the original rent payment obligation is
terminated by reaching a concession agreement, it will be included in the current profit and loss, and the long-
term payables will be adjusted accordingly, or it will be discounted according to the pre-reduction discount rate
and included in the current profit and loss, and the unrecognized financing expenses will be adjusted; if the rent
payment is deferred, the Company will offset the long-term payables confirmed in the previous period when the
actual payment is made.




                                                                                                                    118
                                                                  Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


② Assets leased out by finance: On the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes the difference
between the sum of the receivable finance lease, the unguaranteed residual value and its present value as
unrealized financing income, and recognizes it as lease income in each period when rent is received in the
future. The initial direct expenses incurred by the Company related to the leasing transaction shall be included
in the initial measurement of finance lease receivables, and the amount of income recognized during the lease
period shall be reduced. For financial leases that adopt the simplified method of rental concessions related to the
COVID-19 epidemic, the Company will continue to recognize unrealized financing income as lease income at
the same lease implicit interest rate as before the concessions. In the event of rent reduction or exemption, the
Company will use the reduced rent as contingent rent, when reaching a concession agreement or giving up the
right to collect the original rent, the originally recognized rental income will be offset, and the part not offset
will be included in investment income, and the long-term receivables will be adjusted accordingly, or it will be
discounted according to the pre-reduction discount rate and included in the current profit and loss and adjust the
unrealized financing income; if the rent is deferred, the Company will offset the long-term receivables
confirmed in the previous period when the actual receipt is actually received.


28. Other Important Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

When preparing financial statements, the Company's management needs to use estimates and assumptions,
which will affect the application of accounting policies and the amount of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The management of the Company conducts
continuous evaluation on the key assumptions and uncertain factors involved in the estimation, and the impact
of changes in accounting estimates is confirmed in the current and future periods of the changes.

The main uncertain factors of the estimated amount are as follows:

(1) Measurement of expected credit losses

The Company calculates expected credit losses through default risk exposure and expected credit loss rate, and
determines expected credit loss rate based on default probability and default loss rate. When determining the
expected credit loss rate, the Company uses data such as internal historical credit loss experience, and adjusts
historical data in combination with current conditions and forward-looking information. In considering forward-
looking information, the Company uses indicators including the risk of economic downturn, the expected
increase in the unemployment rate, changes in the external market environment, technological environment and
customer conditions, etc. The Company regularly monitors and reviews assumptions related to the calculation
of expected credit losses.

(2) Provision for price of inventory decline

As mentioned in “V. (11) Inventories” in this note, the Company regularly estimates the net realizable value of
the inventory, and recognizes the loss for price of inventory decline for the difference between the inventory
cost and the net realizable value. When estimating the net realizable value of inventories, the Company
considers the purpose of holding the inventories and uses the available information as the basis for the
estimation, including the market price of the inventories and the Company's past operating costs. The actual
selling price, cost of completion, sales expenses and taxes of inventories may change with changes in market
sales conditions, production technology or actual use of inventories, so the amount of provision for price of

                                                                                                                    119
                                                                  Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


inventory decline may change due to the above reasons. The adjustment to the provision for price of inventory
decline will affect the profit and loss of the period when the estimate is changed.

(3) Impairment of assets other than inventories and financial assets

As described in “V. (19) Impairment of Long-term Assets" in this note, the Company conducts impairment
assessment on assets other than inventories and financial assets on the balance sheet date to determine whether
the recoverable amount of the asset has fallen below its book value. Where circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of a long-term asset may not be recoverable in full, the asset is considered to be impaired and
an impairment loss is recognized accordingly.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the net amount of the fair value of the asset (or asset group) minus the
disposal costs and the present value of the expected future cash flow of the asset (or asset group). Because the
Company cannot reliably obtain the public market price of the asset (or asset group), and cannot reliably and
accurately estimate the fair value of the asset. Therefore, the Company regards the present value of estimated
future cash flow as the recoverable amount. When estimating the present value of future cash flows, it is
necessary to make major judgments on the output, selling price, related operating costs, and discount rate used
in calculating the present value of the asset (or asset group). When estimating the recoverable amount, the
Company will use all available relevant information, including the prediction of production, selling price and
related operating costs based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.

(4) Depreciation and amortization of assets such as fixed assets and intangible assets

As described in “V. (15) Fixed Assets” and “V. (18) Intangible Assets” in this note, the Company accrues
depreciation and amortization within the useful life of assets such as fixed assets and intangible assets after
considering their scrap value. The Company regularly reviews the useful life of the relevant assets to determine
the amount of depreciation and amortization expense to be included in each reporting period. The service life of
assets is determined by the Company based on past experience of similar assets and in combination with
expected technological changes. The depreciation and amortization expense is adjusted in future periods if there
are material changes from previous estimates.

(5) Deferred tax assets

When it is estimated that sufficient taxable income can be obtained in the future period to utilize unrecovered
tax losses and deductible temporary differences, the Company is limited to the amount of taxable income that is
likely to be obtained to offset unrecovered tax losses and deductible temporary differences, and calculates and
recognizes the relevant deferred income tax assets on the basis of the applicable income tax rate during the
period in which the assets are expected to be recovered .

The Company needs to use judgment to estimate the time and amount of taxable income to be obtained in the
future, and make reasonable estimates and judgments on the future applicable income tax rate according to the
current tax policy and other relevant policies.




                                                                                                                    120
                                                                       Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Semi-Annual Report


To determine the amount of deferred income tax assets that should be recognized. If there is a difference
between the time and amount of profit actually generated in the future or the actual applicable income tax rate
and the management's estimate, the difference will have an impact on the amount of deferred tax assets.

individual transactions to which this Interpretation applies), Interpretation No. 16 does not apply the provisions
of Article 11 (2) and Article 13 of “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 18 - Income Taxes” on
the exemption from the initial recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and deferred income tax assets. For
the taxable temporary difference and deductible temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of
assets and liabilities for the transaction, the enterprise shall recognize the corresponding deferred tax liabilities
and deferred tax assets when the transaction occurs in accordance with relevant regulations such as “Accounting
Standards for Business Enterprises No. 18 - Income Taxes” and other relevant provisions.

(1) Important joint ventures or associates

Explanation for the shareholding ratio in joint ventures or associates that is different from the voting rights ratio:
The Company has no significant joint ventures or associates.


X. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments

The Company faces various financial risks in the course of operation: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk
(including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks). The above financial risks and the risk
management policies adopted by the Company to reduce these risks are as follows:

The Board of Directors is responsible for planning and establishing the Company's risk management structure,
formulating the Company's risk management policies and relevant guidelines, and supervising the
implementation of risk management measures. The Company has formulated risk management policies to
identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company. These risk management policies clearly stipulate specific
risks, covering many aspects such as market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk management. The Company
regularly evaluates changes in the market environment and the Company’s business activities to determine
whether to update risk management policies and systems. The Company’s risk management is carried out by the
Risk Management Committee in accordance with the policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Risk
Management Committee identifies, evaluates and avoids relevant risks through close cooperation with other
business departments of the company. The company’s internal audit department conducts regular audits on risk
management controls and procedures, and reports the audit results to the company's audit committee.

The overall goal of the Company’s risk management is to formulate risk management policies that reduce risks
as much as possible without excessively affecting the Company’s competitiveness and resilience.


1.   Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty fails to perform its contractual obligations and cause financial
losses to the Company.

The Company mainly faces customer credit risk caused by credit sales. Before entering into a new contract, the
Company conducts an assessment of the credit risk of the new client, including an external credit rating and, in
some cases, bank references (when this information is available). The Company sets a credit sales limit for each
customer, which is the maximum amount that does not require additional approval.

The Company ensures that the company's overall credit risk is within a controllable range through regular
monitoring of existing customer credit ratings and regular review of accounts receivable aging analysis. When
monitoring the credit risk of customers, group them according to their credit characteristics. Customers rated as
“high risk” will be placed on a restricted customer list, and only with additional approval, the Company can sell
to them on credit in the future, otherwise they must be required to pay the corresponding amount in advance.

                                                                                                                        176

2.    Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk of a shortage of funds when an enterprise fulfills its obligations for settlement by
delivery of cash or other financial assets.

It is the Company's policy to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet debt obligations as they fall due. Liquidity
risk is centrally controlled by the Company's financial department. The financial department ensures that the
company has sufficient funds to repay debts under all reasonable forecasts by monitoring cash balances,
marketable securities that can be realized at any time, and rolling forecasts of cash flows for the next 12 months.
At the same time, continue to monitor whether the company complies with the provisions of the loan agreement,
and obtain commitments from major financial institutions to provide sufficient backup funds to meet short-term
and long-term funding needs.

The Company's various financial liabilities are listed as follows in terms of undiscounted contractual cash flow
by maturity date:

                                                                                        Amount unit: RMB ten thousand

3.    Market risk

The market risk of financial instruments refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flow of
financial instruments due to changes in market prices, including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and other
price risks.




                                                                                                                          177

(1) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value of financial instruments or future cash flows
due to changes in market interest rates.

The interest rate risk faced by the Company mainly comes from floating-rate bank deposits and floating-rate
loans to bear the cash flow interest rate risk. The Company has not formulated a policy to manage its interest
rate risk, but the management will carefully choose financing methods, combining fixed and floating interest
rates, short-term debt and long-term debt. Utilize effective interest rate risk management methods, closely
monitor interest rate risk, and use interest rate swaps when necessary to achieve the expected interest rate
structure.

(2) Exchange rate risk

Exchange rate risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value of financial instruments or future cash flows
due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company continuously monitors the scale of foreign currency transactions and foreign currency assets and
liabilities to minimize the foreign exchange risk it faces. In addition, the Company may also sign forward
foreign exchange contracts or currency swap contracts to achieve the purpose of avoiding exchange rate risks.
During the reporting period, the Company did not sign any forward foreign exchange contracts or currency
swap contracts.

The exchange rate risk faced by the Company mainly comes from the financial assets and financial liabilities
denominated in US dollars. The amount of foreign currency financial assets and foreign currency financial
liabilities converted into RMB is listed as follows:

                                                                                        Amount unit: RMB ten thousand

On June 30, 2023, with all other variables held constant, if the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar, the euro, and
the Japanese yen against the renminbi appreciate or depreciate by 5%, then the Company will increase or
decrease the net profit by RMB 27.865 million (31 December 2022: RMB 10.7886 million). The management
believes that 5% reasonably reflects the reasonable range of possible changes of the US dollar, Euro and
Japanese yen against RMB in the next year.

2.   The basis for determining the market value of the continuous and non-continuous first-level fair
     value measurement projects

The Company has no first level fair value measurement project.


3.   Continuous and non-continuous second-level fair value measurement items, using valuation
     techniques and qualitative and quantitative information on important parameters

The Company has no second level fair value measurement items.


4.   Continuous and non-continuous third-level fair value measurement items, using valuation
     techniques and qualitative and quantitative information on important parameters

Other equity instrument investments that continue to be measured at the third level of fair value are unlisted
equity investments held by the Company.

The receivable financing of continuous third-level fair value measurement is the banker’s acceptance bill held
by the Company, and its fair value is confirmed with reference to the face value.

The Company uses valuation techniques for fair value measurement, mainly using the valuation techniques of
the non-listed company comparison method.

5.     Others

The input values used in fair value measurement are divided into three levels:

The first-level input value is the unadjusted quoted price in an active market for the same asset or liability that
can be obtained on the measurement date.

The second-level input value is the directly or indirectly observable input value of the relevant asset or liability
other than the first-level input value.

The third-level input value is the unobservable input value of related assets or liabilities.

The level to which the fair value measurement results belong is determined by the lowest level to which the
input values that are important to the fair value measurement as a whole belong.
