As at June 2023, the Company has seven photovoltaic rolled glass kilns and complementary photovoltaic glass deep processing production lines in Dongguan, Wujiang, Fengyang and Xianning, with an annual output of about 2.72 million tons of photovoltaic rolled glass original sheets, and its products cover deep- processing products with a variety of thicknesses of 1.6-4 mm. The accumulation of more than ten years of photovoltaic glass production experience has enabled CSG to accumulate a solid foundation in key equipment and technologies such as kilns, calendering, and deep processing. These accumulated technologies and experience have been released in this round of the Company’s photovoltaic glass production capacity enhancement. The Company is firmly optimistic about the long-term development of the photovoltaic new energy industry, seizes the golden opportunity of industrial development, aims at the first echelon of the industry, and makes up for the shortcomings of the Group’s photovoltaic glass business production capacity and large-scale layout. Its Fengyang No. 4 kiln has been successfully ignited in May 2023; and it is building, in an orderly manner as planned, two photovoltaic glass production kilns and complementary processing lines in Beihai, each with a daily melting capacity of 1,200 tons. As at June 2023, the production capacity scale of the Company had successfully ranked among the top in the industry. Under the background of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the photovoltaic glass business will become the new champion business of CSG. Driven by the decreasing cost of photovoltaic power generation and the recovery of green economy across the world, among others, the global new installed photovoltaic capacity will continue to grow rapidly. However, the fast ramp-up of photovoltaic glass production is putting suppliers under great pressure, with strong demand, increased production, high production costs and low selling prices in the near term. With the rapid development of the global market and the optimization and adjustment of the domestic industrial structure, the industry will return to the track of healthy development. Architectural glass business As one of the largest high-end building energy-saving glass suppliers in China, CSG integrates R&D and design, technical consulting, production and manufacturing, and marketing and service in the architectural glass business. It always aims to “build 8 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 green energy-saving products and create quality life” and forms a CSG brand image with quality, service and continuous R&D as its core competitiveness, which is strongly competitive in foreign markets as well. Currently, the Company has six deep processing bases of energy-saving glass in Tianjin, Dongguan, Xianning, Wujiang, Chengdu and Zhaoqing. Up to now, the Company has formed an annual production capacity of over 20 million square meters for coated insulating glass and over 60 million square meters for coated glass. Additionally, a new energy-saving glass production base is being built in Xi’an. As the new bases are completed and put into production step by step and the expansion capacity of existing bases is gradually released in the future, the product diversification and capacity scale of coated insulating glass and coated glass will see continuous and steady growth, which will serve as an adequate guarantee for the comprehensive and steady improvement of product competitiveness, market share and service. CSG’s architectural glass business adheres to the customized business strategy of trinity of technical service, marketing, R&D and manufacturing, relying on its own manufacturing and R&D strength, as well as the marketing and service network formed by domestic and overseas offices, to meet the personalized needs of domestic and foreign customers and construction projects. In 2017, CSG’s low-E coated glass was awarded the title of Single Champion Product by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and it passed the review again in 2020, which fully proves the leading position of CSG’s architectural glass in the industry. The Company has the world’s leading glass deep processing equipment and testing equipment, and its products cover all kinds of architectural and construction glass. The R&D and application level of the Company’s coating technology keeps pace with the world, and its high-end product technology is internationally leading. Following the double silver coated glass products, the Company has successively developed “Ice Kirin” high-performance energy-saving glass and multi-function energy-saving glass products featuring further improved sunshade and heat insulation performance and energy-saving contribution. All deep processing bases of the Company are able to produce and process “Ice Kirin” high-performance energy-saving glass. Under the background of the “dual carbon” goals and the national green and energy-saving building requirements, the market demand for “Ice Kirin” glass has further expanded. After years of market testing and relying on the Company’s advanced coating technology, its high performance and stability have been well received by the market, CSG’s “Ice Kirin” products have become a benchmark in the domestic market, and high-quality, energy-saving, environmentally friendly LOW-E insulating glass continues to lead the domestic high-end market share. The Company has always adhered to the intelligent transformation and digital transformation as the key increment of the development of architectural glass business. It has continuously invested and accumulated rich experience in the research of production automation, intellectualization, information technology and equipment, and the efficiency improvement of intelligent upgrading and transformation of traditional equipment.

The Company’s quality management system for engineering and architectural glass has been respectively approved by organizations of UK AOQC and Australia QAS. The product quality which meets the national standards of the US, the UK and Australia enables CSG has an advantage in the international tendering and bidding. Since 1988, CSG’s engineers and technicians have been continuously participating in the formulation and compilation of various national standards and industry standards. All kinds of high-quality engineering architectural glass provided by the Company are widely used in landmark buildings such as major city CBDs and transportation hubs at home and abroad, which are too numerous to mention. With safe, energy-saving and high-end quality, CSG glass is shortlisted for several landmark projects, including some representative projects such as the National Information and Finance Building, CZBank Head Office Building, Zhangjiang Gate Of Science, JD.COM Headquarters 9 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 Phase III, Diangu Finance Centre, ShenzhenChina Merchants Bank Headquarters Plaza (North Tower), and Guangzhou Knowledge Town Industrial Aggregation Centre, as well as some early projects using CSG products (Beijing Capital International Airport, Beijing Daxing International Airport, China National Convention Centre and the capital CBD area). As the “14th Five-Year Plan” has proposed higher requirements for building energy conservation, CSG actively responded to the requirements of the policy on building energy conservation and building emission reduction by taking the lead in the R&D of energy-saving products. A series of energy-saving products that could meet higher standards for energy conservation were developed, such as the “Ice Kirin” glass series and the thermal insulation products. The Company also actively participated in the formulation and revision of a series of industry or group standards to promote the advancement of the construction industry toward the “dual carbon” goals. The development and production of the Company’s “Ice Kirin” glass series is an innovative and world- leading undertaking, which is of great significance to the facilitation of building energy conservation and the achievement of the “dual carbon” goals. As the national standard General Code for Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy Application in Buildings (GB55015-2021) released by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development stipulates that the average design level of energy consumption in newly constructed residential buildings and public buildings shall be further reduced by 30% and 20% respectively, and the requirements for the heat transfer coefficient of energy-saving glass shall be further enhanced, the applications of low-E coated glass are expected to draw more attention and broader market demand for CSG’s “Ice Kirin” glass is expected to be seen. In order to reduce carbon emissions of buildings, CSG has developed a series of energy-saving products, building heat insulation products and BIPV products with higher energy efficiency. More than 20% of the architectural glass business comes from its new products per year. In order to meet the market demand for product innovation, CSG will continue to conduct innovation, so as to provide products with higher energy efficiency for the market. Float glass business In the field of float glass, CSG has 10 advanced float glass production lines in Dongguan, Chengdu, Langfang, Wujiang and Xianning. As one float glass production line in Xianning was halted for upgrading and transformation in the first half of 2023, there are nine production lines in operation as at June 2023. Its products that cover high-quality float glass and ultra-white float glass with various thicknesses and specifications of 1.6-25 mm are trusted by customers because of their quality. CSG float glass products are all high-end products that can be directly used for downstream deep processing, and the proportion of differentiated glass products with special specifications and special application scenarios such as ultra-white, ultra-thin, and ultra-thick is large, which are widely used in high-end building curtain walls, decoration and furniture, mirrors, car windshields, scanners and copiers, home appliance panels, display protection and other application fields with high requirements on glass quality. CSG has established long-term and stable business cooperation with many well-known processing enterprises. The profit level of the float glass business is generally positively correlated with the level of real estate new construction and completion data, and is also affected by multiple factors such as current energy and raw material prices, product structure, and enterprise management level. Differentiated glass products have higher added value due to specific application scenarios, higher production process difficulties, stable demand, and relatively proactive pricing by manufacturers. To cope with the downward pressure of the market, the Company focuses on improving management efficiency, improving the level of lean production of conventional products, firmly implementing the differentiated competition strategy, carefully cultivating and developing differentiated product markets, and continuously increasing the proportion of high-value-added product sales, such as ultra-white products, so as to continuously consolidate and enhance the industry competitiveness of the Company’s float glass business. 10 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 In the first half of 2023, property construction starts dropped significantly compared with the same period in last year, the domestic architectural glass market demand continued to slow down, original sheet producers saw a declining current period inventory ratio, and the prices of float glass remained at low levels. Meanwhile, affected by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, inflation and other factors, the prices of raw materials and fuels were at high levels, and the profit level of float glass registered a drop compared with the same period in the previous year. However, under the macro background of “Steady Growth” of the national economy and the realization of “dual carbon” goals, customers in the downstream market are pursuing higher-quality products, and the demand for differentiated products and energy-saving products remains stable. Electronic glass and display business After more than a decade of hard work, CSG’s electronic glass business has always focused on increasing investment in R&D, breaking through high-end market barriers with independent intellectual property rights and independent innovation, and firmly following the development route of product upgrades and iterations to accelerate import substitution. In 2023, the Company’s electronic glass business continued to develop in a steady manner. Its four subsidiaries, Hebei Panel, Yichang Photoelectric, Qingyuan New Energy-Saving Materials and Xianning Photoelectric, continued to actively implement further market expansion and product upgrading in the application fields of intelligent electronic terminals, touch components, vehicle window glass, vehicle-mounted display, industrial control and commercial display, and smart home. Therefore, the market share and brand influence of the Company’s medium-alumina and high-alumina electronic glass products were improved steadily. Rich product structure, reliable delivery guarantee and strong technical innovation help the Company’s electronic glass business maintain its dominant position in the fierce market competition. In the first half of 2023, the Company’s high aluminium second generation (KK6-P) lithium aluminosilicate electronic glass products were put in mass production and delivered to new customers, marking that CSG’s electronic glass business has firmly established the supply chain system of domestic high-end customers. At the same time, the Company continued to promote product technology upgrading. Continual efforts were made to strengthen the development of new technologies and products, such as new high-aluminium glass products, so as to enhance customers’ recognition of the CSG brand. In addition, the Qingyuan CSG Phase II “One Kiln and Two Lines” project is operating well with more and more new application markets, which has enhanced the overall profitability of electronic glass and further consolidated and strengthened CSG’s competitive strength in the domestic electronic glass field. The ultra-thin electronic glass production line with a daily melting capacity of 110 tons invested by Hebei Panel Glass has entered the pre-commercialisation stage, and the complementary R&D centre has been put into use. At present, CSG electronic glass has fully covered electronic glass products in high, medium and low-end application scenarios and formed a more solid market competition foundation. CSG has long been committed to becoming the industry’s leading electronic glass material solution provider, and it will continue to develop glass- based protective materials with higher strength and competitiveness in the field of touch display, develop human-computer interaction interface materials meeting the requirements of material interconnection in the fields of smart home, vehicle display and advanced medical, and develop revolutionary alternative materials in the fields of new-energy vehicles and security. In the touch display field, CSG has formed a complete touch industry chain from vacuum magnetron sputtering coating, 3A (AG, AR, and AF) cover plate processing and fine pattern lithography processing, to touch display modules. The main business includes optical coating materials, vehicle-mounted 3A cover plates and vehicle-mounted touch panels. Among them, the optical coating material segment includes the two business types of ITO conductive glass and ITO conductive film, and the products are positioned at middle and high-end customers at home and abroad and are concentrated in differentiated high-value-added ones. 11 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 The Company continued with the development of new products in new application fields in the first half of 2023. Currently, several products are in the stage of small-batch production. Solar energy and other businesses CSG is one of the enterprises that firstly enter the field of photovoltaic product manufacturing in China. After more than ten years of construction, operation, technological transformation and upgrading, CSG has created a complete industrial chain covering the investment and operation of high-purity crystalline silicon materials, silicon wafers, cells, modules and photovoltaic power stations. The business structure of the entire industry chain enables the Company to have a certain ability to resist risks, be sensitive to the industry, and be able to respond quickly to market changes in the industry. After years of technological accumulation in the photovoltaic sector, CSG has built three national-level scientific research and technology platforms (the “National and Local Joint Engineering Laboratory for Semiconductor Silicon Material Preparation Technology” recognized by the National Development and Reform Commission, “National Enterprise Technology Centre” and “CNAS Accredited Laboratory”, seven provincial-level scientific research and technology platforms (“Hubei Semiconductor Silicon Preparation Technology Project Laboratory” and “Hubei Enterprise Technology Centre” recognized by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission; “Hubei Silicon Material Engineering Technology Research Centre” recognized by the Provincial Department of Science and Technology, “Hubei Semiconductor Silicon Material Technology International Cooperation Base”, “Hubei Silicon Material Enterprise-School Joint Innovation Centre”, “Guangdong Solar Photovoltaic Cell and Component Engineering Technology Research Centre” and “Guangdong Enterprise Technology Centre”). In the first half of 2023, the rapid release of the production capacity of the upstream high-purity crystalline silicon led to a decline in prices. Yichang CSG Polysilicon Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Solar Energy Business Department of CSG, fully implemented the strategic decisions and arrangements of the Group’s management, unswervingly carried out “technical transformation, quality improvement, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement for high-purity crystalline silicon production lines; and the silicon wafer business was swiftly upgraded to 182 mono-crystalline wafers to cater to the mainstream markets, which has resulted in good economic benefits. As a public listed company with extensive social influence and sense of social responsibility, CSG has always adhered to the concepts of energy conservation, environmental protection and people-oriented, and contributed to the construction of an environment-friendly, resource-saving and sustainable human future. (II) Overview of operation during the report period In recent years, CSG has made a forward-looking layout, firmly promoted the adjustment of its business structure during development, strengthened its competitive advantage in traditional energy-saving construction materials, further adjusted its product structure, increased the percentage of differentiated products, and accelerated the development of its new energy and new material industrial sectors. In the first half of 2023, the Company’s operating revenue totalled RMB 8.389 billion, increasing by 29% year-on-year; its net profit reached RMB 0.882 billion, decreasing by 13% year-on-year; and the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was RMB 0.889 billion, decreasing by 11% year-on-year. To be specific, in the first half of 2023, the Company’s operating revenue and net profit in the glass business (photovoltaic glass, architectural glass and float glass) totalled RMB 6.335 billion and RMB 0.48 billion, respectively; its operating revenue and net profit in the electronic glass and display business stood at RMB 0.72 billion and RMB 15 million, respectively; and its solar energy and other businesses recorded operating revenue and a net profit of RMB 1.585 billion and RMB 0.356 billion, respectively. 12 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 Glass business segment Photovoltaic glass: Given the rapidly increasing photovoltaic demand, the Company makes plans for photovoltaic glass production lines based on local needs to provide high-quality, high-performance photovoltaic glass products. For instance, the Company remains an industry leader in terms of production capacity, quality and comprehensive manufacturing yield of ultra-thin photovoltaic glass products below 2mm; and providing high-quality encapsulation materials for the promotion of lightweight double-glass photovoltaic modules, it has become an important and even strategic supplier to leading global module companies. In the face of the industry’s rapid technological upgrading, the Company quickly adapts to market needs and strengthens technological innovation. And its efforts in the development of differentiated products and marketing have been fruitful. For example, the Company has independently developed high-transmittance double-coated photovoltaic glass, colourless double- coated photovoltaic glass, anti-glare photovoltaic glass, dust-proof photovoltaic glass and so on. These products meet the customers’ regular performance requirements while greatly satisfying their specific needs in terms of high transmittance, aesthetics, anti-glare, cleaning, etc., representing a perfect combination of industrialisation and humanisation. Currently, these products are well received by major module manufacturers. Moving forward, the Company will continue to explore the photovoltaic glass industry, keep abreast of cutting-edge trends, increase investment in innovation, and contribute to the realisation of high-quality development of the industry. With the new production lines in Anhui and Xianning successively put into production, the Company’s photovoltaic glass production capacity has been significantly increased, resulting in a considerable growth in the photovoltaic glass business. Architectural glass: As the golden brand of CSG, the Company’s architectural glass business has been equipped with quality, service and continuous R&D capabilities that match the brand. Focusing on the continuous improvement of the building energy- saving standards and high-rise building safety standards, the Company strengthens brand building and adheres to the customized business strategy integrating technical service, marketing, and R&D and manufacturing, to meet the personalized needs of domestic and foreign customers and construction projects. As the Company’s share in the domestic high-end construction market continues to rise, it also maintains a leading position in market scale and profitability in the field of deep processing within the same industry. The Company faced greater pressure in marketing in the first half of 2023 compared with the same period in last year due to the weak market recovery and the continued decline in the growth rate of property development investment. This, together with the continual risks of domestic real estate companies, the Company’s liquidity pressure remained high. Moreover, as the Company strengthened risk control, operating revenue of the architectural glass business was affected to some degree, with a slight year-on- year increase. However, by refining the market layout, the Company continued to increase the signing of high-quality projects, which resulted in the drastic year-on-year increase of the order compounding degree. Meanwhile, it launched the band of “Ice Kirin” and gradually increased the proportion of “Ice Kirin” and other high-end products. It also enhanced cooperation in support projects for people’s livelihood, continued to “Reduce Costs and Increase Efficiency”, adopted lean operation, and leveraged the Group’s industrial chain advantage. These efforts effectively offset the impacts of shrinking market demand and lower product prices. Meanwhile, focusing on the future, the Company seizes the historic opportunity of the acceleration of green building construction, accelerates the completion of the layout of production capacity optimization and production expansion for all bases of architectural glass, as well as the construction of new bases, and improves the automation and informatization level of its production lines, continuously improving the efficiency of equipment production. As the Dongguan Base has completed the optimization and restructuring of its production lines, the Company now has a more diverse product portfolio. Meanwhile, relying on the 13 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 geographical advantage of the Greater Bay Area and the repositioned market goal of high-quality energy-saving glass products, it focused its business on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao region and overseas markets. As CSG’s first factory of intelligent production of architectural glass, Zhaoqing Base has achieved a steady growth in production capacity after two years of infrastructure construction and human-machine running-in. After the synergistic effect between the base and the Dongguan Base was formed, the goal of production capacity expansion and product complementation was achieved. Taking the advantage of the market demand in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and Northeast China, the Company’s Tianjin Base has successfully released the production capacity of its production expansion projects, so as to make up for its insufficient production capacity. Relying on China’s “Belt and Road” strategy, especially the New Asia-Europe Continental Bridge, the China-Kazakhstan Railway and other critical projects that pass through Northwest China, CSG takes this opportunity to accelerate the construction of its Xi’an Energy- saving Glass Base. As the new production line projects are gradually completed and put into operation, CSG’s production capacity for architectural glass will be further released. This, in combination with the Company’s product diversification to conform with the market demand, can lead to the continuous improvement of the market competitiveness and service capability of CSG regarding architectural glass, so as to increase the market share of its architectural glass business. Float glass: In the first half of 2023, the domestic downstream demand for architectural glass continued to slow down, and float glass prices were at low levels. Meanwhile, profitability of float glass declined as a result of higher production costs caused by the rising prices of raw materials and fuels and other factors. In the face of the severe business environment, the Company firmly implemented the differentiated product strategy. Firstly, it produced and marketed more high value-added products, such as ultra- thick and large-size ones. Additionally, it continued to ramp up the production of ultra-white float glass with stronger sales as well. Also, by creating “Blue Diamond”, a high-end brand of ultra-white glass series, the Company has become a leader in this market segment. The proportion of the Company’s high-value-added differentiated products continues to increase, and the Company stays among the top in the segment of high-grade float glass. Through organizing centralised procurement of bulk raw materials and strategic reserve procurement during periods of low prices, pressure of rising procurement costs has been effectively offset. Besides, the Company strengthens the lean control of the whole production process to improve production efficiency and continues to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Electronic glass and display business segment CSG always recognizes R&D as the core of its electronic glass business and unremittingly adopts the development route of product upgrading with the aim of replacing imported products with homemade products. Four subsidiaries of the Company, namely, Hebei Panel, Yichang Photoelectric, Qingyuan New Energy-Saving Materials and Xianning Photoelectric, continued to actively implement product and market upgrading in various application fields, such as intelligent electronic terminals, touch control modules, vehicle window glass, vehicle-mounted displays, industrial automatic control displays & commercial displays, and smart home. In the first half of 2023, product competition in the electronic glass industry became more and more intense, domestic fellow manufacturers expanded their production capacity significantly, resulting in an oversupply, and the operating results of the Company’s electronic glass business declined compared with the same period last year. In terms of display, the Company’s production and sales volumes declined in the first half of 2023 compared with the same period last year due to the shrinking global demand for consumer electronics and the popularity of in-cell touch technology.

The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) are mainly engaged in the manufacture and sales of flat glass, specialised glass, engineering glass, energy saving glass, silicon related materials, polycrystalline silicon and solar components and electronic-grade display device glass and the construction and operation of photovoltaic plant etc. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 25 August 2023. Details on the majors subsidiaries included in the consolidated scope in current year were stated in Note. IV、BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1、Basis of preparation of financial statements The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises - Basic Standard, and the specific accounting standards and other relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance on 15 February 2006 and in subsequent periods (hereafter collectively referred to as “the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises” or “CAS”), and Information Disclosure Rule No. 15 for Companies with Public Traded Securities - Financial Reporting General Provision issued by China Security Regulatory Commission. 2、Going concern The present financial report has been prepared on the basis of going concern assumptions. V、SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The Group determines its specific accounting policies and accounting estimates to manufacturing and operation feature. It mainly reflected in expected credit impairment losses of receivables was measured, inventory costing method, Depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets, criteria for determining capitalised development expenditure, and timing for revenue recognition. Please see the key judgements adopted by the Group in applying important accounting policies. 72 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 1、Statement of compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises The financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2023 are in compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and truly and completely present the financial position of the consolidated and the Company as at 30 June 2023 and their financial performance, cash flows for the six months then ended. 2、Accounting year The Company’s accounting year starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December. 3、Operating cycle The Company’s operating cycle starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December. 4、Recording currency The recording currency is Renminbi (RMB). 5、Accounting treatment of business combinations under the common control and under non- common control (a) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control The consideration paid and net assets obtained by the absorbing party in a business combination are measured at book value. If the merged party was acquired by the ultimate controlling party from a third party in the previous year, the assets and liabilities of the merged party (including the goodwill formed by the ultimate controlling party’s acquisition of the merged party). The difference between book value of the net assets obtained from the combination and book value of the consideration paid for the combination is treated as an adjustment to capital surplus (share premium). If the capital surplus (share premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remaining balance is adjusted against retained earnings. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities. (b) Business combinations involving enterprises under non-common control The cost of combination and identifiable net assets obtained by the acquirer in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Where the cost of the combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised as goodwill; where the cost of combination is lower than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities. 6、Methodology for the preparation of consolidated financial statement The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. 73 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control and are de-consolidated from the date that such control ceases. For a subsidiary that is acquired in a business combination involving enterprises under common control, it is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when it, together with the Company, comes under common control of the ultimate controlling party. The portion of the net profits realised before the combination date is presented separately in the consolidated income statement. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting periods of the Company and subsidiaries are inconsistent, the financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and the accounting period of the Company. For subsidiaries acquired from business combinations involving enterprises not under common control, the individual financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. All significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealised profits are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The portion of subsidiaries’ equity and the portion of a subsidiaries’ net profits and losses and comprehensive incomes for the period not attributable to Company are recognised as minority interests and presented separately in the consolidated financial statements under equity, net profits and total comprehensive income respectively. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sales of assets by the Company to its subsidiaries are fully eliminated against net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sales of assets by a subsidiary to the Company are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company and non-controlling interests in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent company in the subsidiary. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sales of assets by one subsidiary to another are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company and non-controlling interests in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent in the subsidiary. After the control over the subsidiary has been gained, whole or partial minority equities of the subsidiary owned by minority shareholders are acquired from the subsidiary’s minority shareholders. In the consolidated financial statements, the subsidiary's assets and liabilities are reflected with amount based on continuous calculation starting from the acquisition date or consolidation date. Capital surplus is adjusted according to the difference between newly increased long-term equity investment arising from acquisition of minority equity and the share of net assets calculated based on current shareholding ratio that the parent company is entitled to. The share is subject to continuous calculation starting from the acquisition date or consolidation date. If the capital surplus (capital premium or share capital premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remaining balance is adjusted against retained earnings. If the accounting treatment of a transaction which considers the Group as an accounting entity is different from that considers the Company or its subsidiaries as an accounting entity, it is adjusted from the perspective of the Group. 7、Standards for determining cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents refer to cash in hand, deposits that can be used for payment at any time, and investments with short holding periods, strong liquidity, easy conversion into known amounts of cash, and low risk of value changes. 8、Foreign currency transactions and translation of foreign currency statement (a) Foreign currency transaction Foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. 74 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 On the balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from these translations are recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the current period, except for those attributable to foreign currency borrowings that have been taken out specifically for the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, which are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Non- monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical costs are translated at the balance sheet date using the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement. (b) Translation of foreign currency financial statements The asset and liability items in the balance sheets for overseas operations are translated at the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Among the shareholders’ equity items, the items other than “undistributed profits” are translated at the spot exchange rates of the transaction dates. The income and expense items in the income statements of overseas operations are translated at the spot exchange rates of the transaction dates. The differences arising from the above translation are presented separately in other comprehensive income items in the shareholders’ equity. The cash flows of overseas operations are translated at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the cash flows. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement. 9、Financial instrument A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. (a) Financial assets (i) Classification and measurement Based on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, financial assets are classified as: (1) financial assets at amortised cost; (2) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; (3) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The financial assets are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Related transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets are included in the initially recognised amounts, except for the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the related transaction costs of which are recognised directly in profit or loss for the current period. Accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from sales of products or rendering of services (excluding or without regard to significant financing components) are initially recognised at the consideration that is entitled to be charged by the Group as expected. Debt instruments The debt instruments held by the Group refer to the instruments that meet the definition of financial liabilities from the perspective of the issuer, and are measured in the following ways. Measured at amortised cost 75 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 The objective of the Group's business model is to hold the financial assets to collect the contractual cash flows, and the contractual cash flow characteristics are consistent with a basic lending arrangement, which gives rise on specified dates to the contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The interest income of such financial assets is recognised using the effective interest method. Such financial assets mainly include cash at bank and on hand, accounts receivable, other receivables, debt investments and long-term receivables. The Group presents debt investments and long-term receivables maturing within one year (inclusive) from the balance sheet date as non-current assets maturing within one year; Debt investments with a maturity of one year (inclusive) at the time of acquisition are listed as other current assets. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: The objective of the Group's business model is to hold the financial assets to collect the contractual cash flows and selling as target, and the contractual cash flow characteristics are consistent with a basic lending arrangement. Such financial assets are measured at fair value and their changes are included in other comprehensive income, but impairment losses or gains, exchange gains and losses, and interest income calculated by the effective interest rate method are all included in the current profit and loss. Such financial assets mainly comprise receivable financing and other financial debt investment. Other financial debt investment that are due within one year (inclusive) as from the balance sheet date are included in the current portion as other current assets. Measured at fair value through profit or loss: Debt instruments held by the Group that are not divided into those at amortised cost, or those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, are measured at fair value through profit or loss and included in financial assets held for trading. At initial recognition, the Group designates a portion of financial assets as at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch. Financial assets that are due within one year (inclusive) as from the balance sheet date and are expected to be held over one year are included in other non-current financial assets. Equity instruments Investments in equity instruments, over which the Group has no control, joint control or significant influence, are measured at fair value through profit or loss under financial assets held for trading; investments in equity instruments expected to be held over one year as from the balance sheet date are included in other non-current financial assets. In addition, a portion of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading are designated as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income under other investments in equity instruments. The relevant dividend income of such financial assets is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (ii) Impairment The Group confirms the loss provision based on expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, and financial guarantee contracts, based on expected credit losses (ECL) and recognizes allowances for losses. Giving consideration to reasonable and supportable information on past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions, as well as the default risk weight , the expected credit loss was confirmed. 76 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 On each balance sheet date, the expected credit losses of financial instruments at different stages are measured respectively. 12-month ECL provision is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 1 that have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition; lifetime ECL provision is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 2 that have had a significant increase in credit risk yet without credit impairment since initial recognition; and lifetime ECL provision is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 3 that have had credit impairment since initial recognition. For the financial instruments with lower credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Group assumes there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and recognises the 12-month ECL provision. For the financial instruments in Stage 1, Stage 2 and with lower credit risk, the Group calculates the interest income by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount (before deduction of the impairment provision). For the financial instrument in Stage 3, the interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost (after deduction of the impairment provision from the gross carrying amount). For notes and accounts receivables and factoring receivables arising from daily business activities such as selling commodities and providing labor services, the Group recognises the lifetime expected credit loss provision regardless of whether there exists a significant financing component. In case the expected credit losses of an individually assessed financial asset cannot be evaluated with reasonable cost, the Group divides the receivables into certain groupings based on credit risk characteristics, and calculates the expected credit losses for the groupings. Basis for determined groupings and method for provision are as follows: Class Item Method Notes receivables Portfolio 1 Bank acceptance Notes Expected credit loss method Notes receivables Portfolio 2 Trade acceptance Notes Expected credit loss method Accounts receivables Portfolio 1 Receivables non-related third party Expected credit loss method Accounts receivables Portfolio 2 Receivables related party Expected credit loss method Receivables Financing Portfolio 1 Bank acceptance Notes Expected credit loss method Other receivables Portfolio 1 Receivables non-related third party Expected credit loss method Other receivables Portfolio 2 Receivables related party Expected credit loss method For notes and accounts receivables and receivable financing arising from daily business activities such as selling commodities and providing labor services, the Group refers to historical credit loss experience, combined with current conditions and predictions of future economic conditions. In addition to notes receivable, factoring receivables and other receivables classified as a combination, the Group refers to historical credit loss experience, combines current conditions and predictions of future economic conditions, and passes default risk exposure and future 12 The expected credit loss rate within a month or the entire duration is calculated as the expected credit loss. The Group recognises the loss provision made or reversed into profit or loss for the current period. For debt instruments that are held at fair value and whose changes are included in other comprehensive income, the Group adjusts other comprehensive income while accounting for impairment losses or gains in the current profit or loss. (iii) Derecognition 77 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 A financial asset is derecognised when any of the below criteria is met: (1) the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire; (2) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the transferee; or (3) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group has not retained control of the financial asset, although the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. (b) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition. The Group's financial liabilities are mainly comprise financial liabilities at amortised cost, including bills payable, accounts payable, and other payables. This type of financial liability is initially measured at its fair value after deducting transaction costs, and is subsequently measured using the actual interest rate method. If the maturity is less than one year (including one year), it is listed as current liabilities; Those with a maturity of less than one year (including one year) are listed as current liabilities; those with a maturity of more than one year but due within one year (including one year) from the balance sheet date are listed as non- current liabilities due within one year. The rest are listed as non-current liabilities. A financial liability is derecognised or partly derecognised when the underlying present obligation is discharged or partly discharged. The difference between the carrying amount of the derecognised part of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (c) Determination of fair value of financial instruments The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted price in the active market. The fair value of a financial instrument that is not traded in an active market is determined by using a valuation technique. In valuation, the Group adopts valuation techniques applicable in the current situation and supported by adequate available data and other information, selects inputs with the same characteristics as those of assets or liabilities considered in relevant transactions of assets or liabilities by market participants, and gives priority to the use of relevant observable inputs. When relevant observable inputs are not available or feasible, unobservable inputs are adopted. 10、Inventories (a) Classification Inventories refer to manufacturing sector, including raw materials, work in progress, finished goods and turnover materials, and are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. (b) Issued Inventory costing method Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprise raw materials, direct labour and systematically allocated production overhead based on the normal production capacity. (c) Amortisation methods of low value consumables and packaging materials Turnover materials include low value consumables and packaging materials, which are expensed when issued. (d)The determination of net realisable value and the method of provision for decline in the value of inventories 78 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 Provision for decline in the value of inventories is determined at the excess amount of book values of the inventories over their net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale and related taxes. (e) The Group adopts the perpetual inventory system. 11、Assets classified as held for sale A non-current asset or a disposal group is classified as held for sale when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the non- current asset or the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject to terms that are traditionally and customary for sales; (2) the Group has made a resolution and obtained appropriate approval for disposal of the non-current asset or the disposal group, and the transfer is to be completed within one year. Non-current assets (except for financial assets, investment properties at fair value and deferred tax assets) that meet the recognition criteria for held for sale are recognised at the amount equal to the lower of the fair value less costs to sell and book value. The difference between fair value less costs to sell and carrying amount, should be presented as impairment loss. Such non-current assets and assets included in disposal groups as classified as held for sale are accounted for as current assets; while liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale are accounted for as current liabilities, and are presented separately in the balance sheet. A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, and is separately identifiable operationally and for financial reporting purposes, and satisfies one of the following conditions: (1) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; (2) is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; and (3) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The discontinued operation profits on income statement presentation have included the profits and loss of operation and disposal. 12、Long-term equity investments Long-term equity investments comprise the Company’s long-term equity investments in its subsidiaries, and the Group’s long- term equity investments in its associates. Subsidiaries are the investees over which the Company is able to exercise control. Associates are the investees that the Group has significant influence on their financial and operating policies. Investments in subsidiaries are measured using the cost method in the Company’s financial statements, and adjusted by using the equity method when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. (a) Initial recognition of investment cost For long-term equity investments formed in business combination: when obtained from business combinations involving entities under common control, the long-term equity investment is stated at carrying amount of equity for the combined parties at the time 79 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 of merger; when the long-term equity investment obtained from business combinations involving entities not under common control, the investment is measured at combination cost. For long-term equity investments not formed in business combination: the one paid by cash is initially measured at actual purchase price; the long-term investment obtained by issuing equity securities is stated at fair value of equity securities as initial investment cost. (b)Subsequent measurement and recognition of related profit or loss For long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method, they are measured at the initial investment costs, and cash dividends or profit distribution declared by the investees are recognised as investment income in profit or loss. For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the long-term equity investment is measured at the initial investment cost; where the initial investment cost is less than the Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the difference is included in profit or loss and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted upwards accordingly. Under the equity method, the Group recognises the investment income according to its share of net profit or loss of the investee. The Group discontinues recognising its share of the net losses of an investee after book values of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of the investor’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero. However, if the Group has obligations for additional losses and the criteria with respect to recognition of provisions under the accounting standards on contingencies are satisfied, the Group continues recognising the investment losses and the provisions. For changes in owners’ equity of the investee other than those arising from its net profit or loss, its proportionate share is directly recorded into capital surplus, provided that the proportion of the shareholding of the Group in the investee remains unchanged. Book value of the investment is reduced by the Group’s share of the profit distribution or cash dividends declared by an investee. The unrealised profits or losses arising from the intra-group transactions amongst the Group and its investees are eliminated in proportion to the Group’s equity interest in the investees, and then based on which the investment gains or losses are recognised. Any losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its investees attributable to asset impairment losses are not eliminated. (c) Basis for determining existence of control, jointly control or significant influence over investees The term "control" refers to the power in the investees, to obtain variable returns by participating in the related business activities of the investees, and the ability to affect the returns by exercising its power over the investees. The term "significant influence" refers to the power to participate in the formulation of financial and operating policies of an enterprise, but not the power to control, or jointly control, the formulation of such policies with other parties. (d) Impairment of long-term equity investments Book value of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries and associates is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is less than book value. 13、Investment property Investment property includes leased land use rights, land use rights held and provided for to transfer after appreciation and leased building and construction. 80 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 Investment properties are initially measured at acquisition cost. The cost of outsourcing Investment property includes the purchase price, relevant taxes and other expenditures that can be directly attributable to the asset; the cost of self-built Investment property is determined by the construction of the asset. The composition of the necessary expenditures incurred before the usable state. Investment property adopts the fair value model for subsequent measurement without depreciation or amortization. On the balance sheet date, the book value of the investment properties are initially measured at acquisition cost is adjusted based on the fair value of the investment properties are initially measured at acquisition cost. The difference between the fair value and the original book value will be calculated into the current profit and loss. When the use of an Investment property is changed to self-use, the investment property is converted into fixed assets or intangible assets from the date of change, and the book value and fair value of the fixed assets and intangible assets are determined based on the fair value of the investment property on the conversion date. The difference with the original book value of the investment property is included in the current profit and loss. When the purpose of self-use real estate is changed to earning rent or capital appreciation, from the date of change, the fixed assets or intangible assets are converted into investment properties are initially measured at acquisition cost, and the fair value on the day of conversion is used as the book value of the investment properties are initially measured at acquisition cost, and the fair value on the day of conversion If the value is less than the original book value of fixed assets and intangible assets, the difference is included in the current profit and loss. If the fair value on the day of conversion is greater than the original book value of fixed assets and intangible assets, the difference is included in other comprehensive income. When an investment property is disposed of or permanently withdrawn from use and it is expected that no economic benefits can be obtained from its disposal, the confirmation of the investment real estate shall be terminated. The disposal income from the sale, transfer, scrapping or destruction of investment real estate shall deduct its book value and relevant taxes and shall be included in the current profits and losses. If there is an amount included in other comprehensive income on the original conversion date, it will also be carried forward and included in the current profit and loss. 14、Fixed assets (1)Recognition and initial measurement Fixed assets comprise buildings, machinery and equipment, motor vehicles and others. Fixed assets are recognised when it is probable that the related economic benefits will probably flow to the Group and the costs can be reliably measured. Fixed assets purchased or constructed by the Group are initially measured at cost at the acquisition date. Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and the related cost can be reliably measured. Book value of the replaced part is derecognised. All the other subsequent expenditures are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. (2)Depreciation methods Fixed assets are depreciated using the life average method to allocate the cost of the assets to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives. For the fixed assets that have been provided for impairment loss, the related depreciation charge is prospectively determined based upon the adjusted carrying amounts over their remaining useful lives. 81 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 The estimated useful lives, the estimated net residual values expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation rates of fixed assets are as follows: Estimated net residual Annual depreciation Type Depreciation methods Estimated useful lives value rate The life average Buildings 20 to 35 years 5% 2.71% to 4.75% method Machinery and The life average 8 to 20 years 5% 4.75% to 11.88% equipment method Transportation and The life average 5 to 8 years 0% 12.50% to 20% others method The estimated useful life, the estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied to the asset are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end. (3)Book value of a fixed asset is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below book value. (4)Disposal A fixed asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The amount of proceeds from disposals on sale, transfer, retirement or damage of a fixed asset net of its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. 15、Construction in progress Construction in progress is recorded at actual cost. Actual cost comprises construction cost, installation cost, borrowing costs eligible for capitalised condition and necessary expenditures incurred for its intended use. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use, and depreciation begins from the following month. Book value of construction in progress is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below book value. 16、Borrowing costs The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of an asset that needs a substantially long period of time for its intended use commence to be capitalised and recorded as part of the cost of the asset when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs have been incurred, and the activities relating to the acquisition and construction that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use have commenced. The capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when the asset under acquisition or construction becomes ready for its intended use and the borrowing costs incurred thereafter are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months, until the acquisition or construction is resumed. For the specific borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of an asset qualifying for capitalisation, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by deducting any interest income earned from depositing the unused 82 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 specific borrowings in the banks or any investment income arising on the temporary investment of those borrowings during the capitalisation period. For the general borrowings obtained for the acquisition or construction of an asset qualifying for capitalisation, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying the weighted average effective interest rate of general borrowings, to the weighted average of the excess amount of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amount of specific borrowings. The effective interest rate is the rate at which the estimated future cash flows during the period of expected duration of the borrowings or applicable shorter period are discounted to the initial amount of the borrowings. 17、Intangible assets (1)Valuation method, service life, impairment test Intangible assets, mainly including land use rights, patents and proprietary technologies, exploitation rights and others, are measured at cost. (a) Land use rights Land use rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over their approved use period of 30 to 70 years. If the acquisition costs of the land use rights and the buildings located thereon cannot be reasonably allocated between the land use rights and the buildings, all of the acquisition costs are recognised as fixed assets. (b) Patents and proprietary technologies Patents are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated use life. (c) Exploitation rights Exploitation rights are amortised on a straight-line basis over permitted exploitation periods or the beneficial life on the exploitation certificate. (d) Periodical review of useful life and amortisation method For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, review of its useful life and amortisation method is performed at each year-end, with adjustment made as appropriate. (e) Impairment of intangible assets Book value of intangible assets is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below book value. (2)Internal Research and development expenditure accounting policy The expenditure on an internal research and development project is classified into expenditure on the research phase and expenditure on the development phase based on its nature and whether there is material uncertainty that the research and development activities can form an intangible asset at end of the project. Expenditure on the research phase related to planned survey, evaluation and selection for research on manufacturing technique is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. Prior to mass production, expenditure on the development phase related to the design and testing phase in regards to the final application of manufacturing technique is capitalised only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: 83 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 the development of manufacturing technique has been fully demonstrated by technical team; management has approved the budget for the development of manufacturing technique; there are research and analysis of pre-market research explaining that products manufactured with such technique are capable of marketing; There is sufficient technique and capital to support the development of manufacturing technology and subsequent mass production; and the expenditure on manufacturing technology development can be reliably gathered. Other development expenditures that do not meet the conditions above are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expenses are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised expenditure on the development phase is presented as development costs in the balance sheet and transferred to intangible assets at the date that the asset is ready for its intended use. 18、Impairment of long-term assets Fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful lives and long-term equity investments in joint ventures and associates are tested for impairment if there is any indication that the assets may be impaired on the balance sheet date; intangible assets not ready for their intended use are tested at least annually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that they may be impaired. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Provision for asset impairment is determined and recognised on the individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of a group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A group of assets is the smallest group of assets that is able to generate independent cash inflows. Goodwill that is separately presented in the financial statements is tested at least annually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. In conducting the test, book value of goodwill is allocated to the related asset groups or groups of asset groups which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. If the result of the test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset group or group of asset groups, including the allocated goodwill, is lower than its book value, the corresponding impairment loss is recognised. The impairment loss is first deducted from book value of goodwill that is allocated to the asset group or group of asset groups, and then deducted from book values of other assets within the asset groups or groups of asset groups in proportion to book values of assets other than goodwill. Once the above asset impairment loss is recognised, it will not be reversed for the value recovered in the subsequent periods. 19、Long-term prepaid expenses Long-term prepaid expenses include the expenditures that have been incurred but should be recognised as expenses over more than one year in the current and subsequent periods. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised on the straight-line basis over the expected beneficial period and are presented at actual expenditure net of accumulated amortisation. 84 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 20、Employee benefits Employee benefits include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits provided in various forms of consideration in exchange for service rendered by employees or compensations for the termination of employment relationship. (1)Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits include wages or salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, staff welfare, medical care, work injury insurance, maternity insurance, housing funds, labour union funds, employee education funds and paid short-term leave, etc. The employee benefit liabilities are recognised in the accounting period in which the service is rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets. Employee benefits which are non- monetary benefits shall be measured at fair value. (2)Post-employment benefits The Group classifies post-employment benefit plans as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate fund and will have no obligation to pay further contributions; and defined benefit plans are post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans. During the reporting period, the Group's post-employment benefits mainly include basic pensions and unemployment insurance, both of which belong to the defined contribution plans. (3)Basic pensions The Group’s employees participate in the basic pension plan set up and administered by local authorities of Ministry of Human Resource and Social Security. Monthly payments of premiums on the basic pensions are calculated according to prescribed bases and percentage by the relevant local authorities. When employees retire, local labour and social security institutions have a duty to pay the basic pension insurance to them. The amounts based on the above calculations are recognised as liabilities in the accounting period in which the service has been rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets. (4)Termination benefits The Group provides compensation for terminating the employment relationship with employees before the end of the employment contracts or as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy before the end of the employment contracts. The Group recognises a liability arising from compensation for termination of the employment relationship with employees, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss at the earlier of the following dates: 1) when the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal; 2) when the Group recognises costs or expenses related to the restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits. The termination benefits expected to be paid within one year since the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities. 85 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 21、Provisions Business restructuring, provisions for product warranties, loss contracts etc. are recognised when the Group has a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation. Factors surrounding a contingency, such as the risks, uncertainties and the time value of money, are taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the best estimate is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. The increase in the discounted amount of the provision arising from passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Book value of provision is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. The provisions expected to be paid within one year since the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities. 22、Share-based payments Share-based payments are divided into equity-settled and cash-settled payments. The term "equity-settled share-based payment" refers to a transaction in which an enterprise grants shares or other equity instruments as a consideration in return for services. Equity-settled share-based payment The Group‘s stock option plan is the equity-settled share-based payment in exchange of employees' services and is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at grant date. The equity instruments are exercisable after services in vesting period are completed or specified performance conditions are met. In the vesting period, the services obtained in current period are included in relevant cost and expenses at the fair value of the equity instruments at grant date based on the best estimate of the number of exercisable equity instruments, and capital surplus is increased accordingly. The Group makes the best estimate of the number of vesting equity instruments based on the latest obtained changes in the number of vested employees, whether the required performance conditions are met, and other follow-up information. If the subsequent information indicates the number of exercisable equity instruments differs from the previous estimate, an adjustment is made and, on the exercise date, the estimate is revised to equal the number of actual vested equity instruments. In the period at which performance conditions and term of service are met, the relevant cost and expenses of equity-settled payment should be recognized, and capital surplus is increased accordingly. Before the exercise date, the accruing amounts of equity-settled payments on balance sheet date reflect the part of expired waiting period and optimal estimation for the number of the Company final vested equity instruments. If the non-market conditions and term of service are not met so that share-based payment fail to exercise, the costs and expenses on this portion should not be recognized. If the share-based payment agreement sets out the market conditions and term of non- vesting, as long as performance conditions and term of service are met, it is should be regard as exercisable right, no matter the market conditions and non-vesting conditions are meet or not. If the terms of equity-settled payment are modified, at least the service is confirmed in accordance with the unmodified terms. In addition, the increase of the fair value of the authorized equity instruments, or the beneficial changes to the employees on the modification date, the increase of service are confirmed. If the equity-settled payment is cancelled, the cancellation date shall be deemed as an expedited exercise, and the unconfirmed amount shall be confirmed immediately. If the employee or other party is 86 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 able to choose to meet the non-vesting conditions but not satisfied in the waiting period, equity-settled payment should be cancelled. But if a new equity instrument is granted, and the new equity instrument is confirm to replace the old equity instrument which is canceled in the authorization date of the new equity instrument, the new equity instrument should be disposed by using the same conditions and terms of the old equity instrument for modifications. 23、Revenue The Group recognises revenue at the consideration that the Group is entitled to charge as expected when the Group has fulfilled the performance obligations in the contract, that is, the customer obtains control over relevant goods or services. a. Sales of goods The Group mainly sells flat and engineering glass, products related to solar energy, and electronic glass and displays. For domestic sales, the Group delivers the products to a certain place specified in the contract. When the buyer takes over the goods, the Group recognises revenue. For export sales, the Group recognises the revenue when it finished clearing goods for export and deliver the goods on board the vessel, or when the goods are delivered to a certain place specified in the contract. The credit period granted by the Group to customers is determined based on the customer's credit risk characteristics, consistent with industry practices, and there is no major financing component. The Group’s obligation to transfer goods to customers for consideration received or receivable from customers is listed as contract liabilities. Revenue is presented as the net amount after deducting sales discounts and sales returns. b. Rendering of services The Group provides external consulting, loading, unloading, transportation and processing labor services, and recognizes revenue within a period of time based on the progress of the completed labor. The progress of the completed labor is determined according to the proportion of the cost incurred to the estimated total cost. On the balance sheet date, the Group re-estimates the progress of completed labor services so that it can reflect changes in contract performance. When the Group recognizes revenue based on the performance progress of the completed labor services, the portion for which the Group has obtained the unconditional right to receive payments is recognized as accounts receivable, and the remaining portion is recognized as contract assets, and the Company measures the loss reserve of accounts receivable and contract assets. according to the expected credit loss; If the contract price received or receivable by the Group exceeds the completed progress, the excess is recognized as contract liabilities. The Group presents the contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract as a net amount. 24、Government grants Government grants are transfers of monetary or non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at nil consideration, including tax refund and financial subsidies, etc. A government grant is recognised when there is a reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Monetary government grants are measured at the amounts received or receivable. Non-monetary government grant are measured at fair value, if the fair value cannot be reliably obtained, it is measured at nominal amount. 87 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 The government grants related to assets refer to government grant obtained by enterprises and used for purchase and construction of long-term assets or formation of long-term asset in other ways. The government grants related to income refer to grants other than those related to assets. For government grants related to income, where the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred by the Group in the subsequent periods, the grant is recognised as deferred income, and included in profit or loss over the periods in which the related costs are recognised; where the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred by the Group, the grant is recognised immediately in profit or loss for the current period. The company use the same method of presentation for similar government grants. The ordinary activity government grants should be counted into operating profits; the government grants which not belong ordinary activities should be counted into non-operating income. 25、Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognised based on the differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts (temporary differences). Deferred tax asset is recognised for the deductible losses that can be carried forward to subsequent years for deduction of the taxable profit in accordance with the tax laws. No deferred tax liability is recognised for a temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. No deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability is recognised for the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities due to a transaction other than a business combination, which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss). At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future against which the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporary difference, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. When it is probable that the temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates will be reversed in the foreseeable future and that the taxable profit will be available in the future against which the temporary differences can be utilised, the corresponding deferred tax assets are recognised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities that meet the following conditions at the same time are listed as the net amount after offset: Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to the same tax payer within the Group and the same taxation authority; and That tax entity within the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities. 26、Leases A leasing is a contract in which the lessor cedes the right to use an asset to the lessee for a certain period of time in return for consideration. 88 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 (a) The Group acts as the lessee The Company recognizes the right-of-use assets on the commencement date of the lease term and recognizes the lease liabilities at the present value of the outstanding lease payments. The lease payments include fixed payments, as well as payments where there is reasonable certainty that a purchase option will be exercised or a lease option will be terminated. The variable rent determined based on a certain percentage of sales is not included in the lease payment, and is included in the current profit and loss when it actually occurs. The Group will list the lease liabilities paid within one year (inclusive) from the balance sheet date as non-current liabilities due within one year On the commencement date, the Company shall initially measure the right-of-use asset at cost. The cost of the right-of-use asset shall comprise the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability and any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, and any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee etc, less any lease incentives received, If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. Otherwise, the right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. A short-term lease is a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less, and has a low-value asset leases. The Group does not recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Group recognizes lease payments on short- term leases and leases of low-value assets in the related asset costs or profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Group accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if both:(1) the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; (2) the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract. For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, at the effective date of the lease modification the Group remeasures the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. Decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease. The Group recognizes in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease. Other lease modifications will remeasure lease liabilities, and the group will make a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset book value. (b) The Group acts as the lessor A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the leased asset is a finance lease. Other leases are operating leases. (i) Operating lease When the Company operates leased buildings, machinery and equipment, and means of transport, the rental income from operating leases shall be recognized in accordance with the straight-line method during the lease term. The Company will include variable 89 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 rent determined based on a percentage of sales in rental income when it actually incurs. For any modification to an operating lease, the Group treats it as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, and the received or receivable lease payments related to the lease prior to the modification are treated as lease payments of the new lease. (ii) Finance lease On the beginning date of the lease term, the Company recognizes the finance lease receivables for finance leases and derecognizes related assets. The Company presents the finance lease receivables as long-term receivables, and the finance lease receivables received within one year (including one year) from the balance sheet date are presented as non-current assets due within one year. 27、Critical accounting policies and accounting estimates The Group continually Estimates the critical accounting estimates and key assumptions applied based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable. The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that have a significant risk of possibly causing a material adjustment to book values of assets and liabilities within the next accounting year are outlined below: (a) Income tax The Group is subject to Income tax in numerous jurisdictions. There are some transactions and events for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgement is required from the Group in determining the provision for Income tax in each of these jurisdictions. Where the final identified outcome of these tax matters is different from the initially-recorded amount, such difference will impact the income tax expenses and deferred income tax in the period in which such determination is finally made. (b) Deferred income tax Estimates on deferred tax assets are based on estimates on amount of taxable income and applicable tax rate for every year. Realisation of deferred income tax are subject to sufficient taxable income that are possible to be obtained by the Group in the future. Change of the future tax rate as well as the reversed time of temporary difference might have effects on tax expense (income) and the balance of deferred tax assets or liabilities. Those estimates may also cause significant adjustment on deferred tax. (c)Impairment of long-term assets (excluding goodwill) Long-term assets on the balance sheet date should be subject to impairment testing if there are any indications of impairment. Management determines whether the long-term assets impaired or not by evaluating and analysing following aspects: (1) whether the event affecting assets impairment occurs; (2) whether the expected obtainable present value of future cash flows is lower than the asset’s carrying amount by continually using the assets or disposal; and (3) whether the assumptions used in expected obtainable present value of future cash flows are appropriate. Various assumptions, including the discount rate and growth rate applied in the method of present value of future cash flow, are required in evaluating the recoverable amount of assets. If these assumptions cannot be conformed, the recoverable amount should be modified, and the long-term assets may be impaired accordingly. (d) The useful life of fixed assets 90 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 Management estimates the useful life of fixed assets, based on historical experiences on using fixed assets that have similar properties and functions. When there are differences between actually useful life and previously estimation, management will adjust estimation to useful life of fixed assets. The fixed assets would be written off or written down when fixed assets been disposed or became redundant. Thus, the estimated result based on existing experience may be different from the actual result of the next accounting period, which may cause major adjustment to book value of fixed assets on balance sheet. (e) Goodwill impairment Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units (“CGUs”), or groups of CGUs, and future cash flow from each CGU or CGUs is forcasted and discounted with appropriate discount rate. 28、Significant changes in accounting policies and accounting estimates (1)Significant changes in accounting policies √ Applicable □ Not applicable Contents and reasons of changes in Approval procedure Remark accounting estimates On 30 November 2022, the Ministry of Finance issued "Interpretation No. 16 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises" (Finance and Accounting [2021] No. 31) (hereinafter referred to as "Interpretation No. 16"), which regulates the It was reviewed and The adoption of Interpretation accounting treatment for the income tax impact of dividends related approved the "Proposal No. 16 did not have a to financial instruments classified as equity instruments by the on Changes in Accounting significant impact on the issuer and the accounting treatment for the modification of cash Policies" by the board of financial condition and settled share-based payments to equity settled share-based directors on 24 April operating results of the payments by enterprises shall be implemented from the date of 2023. Company. promulgation; The accounting treatment for deferred income tax related to assets and liabilities arising from individual transactions that are not exempt from initial recognition will be implemented from 1 January 2023. (2)Significant changes in accounting estimates □ Applicable √ Not applicable (3)Adjustments to the opening financial statement items in 2023 when a new accounting standard is first adopted □ Applicable √ Not applicable 29、Others (1)Safety production costs According to relevant regulations of the Ministry of Finance and National Administration of Work Safety, a subsidiary of the Group which is engaged in producing and selling polysilicon appropriates safety production costs on following basis: (a) 4.5% for revenue below RMB10 million (inclusive) of the year; 91 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 (b) 2.25% for the revenue between RMB10 million to RMB100 million (inclusive) of the year; (c) 0.55% for the revenue between RMB100 million to RMB1 billion (inclusive) of the year; (d) 0.2% for the revenue above RMB1 billion of the year. The safety production costs are mainly used for the overhaul, renewal and maintenance of safety facilities. The safety production costs are charged to costs of related products or profit or loss when appropriated, and safety production costs in equity account are credited correspondingly. When using the special reserve, if the expenditures are expenses in nature, the expenses incurred are offset against the special reserve directly when incurred. If the expenditures are capital expenditures, when projects are completed and transferred to fixed assets, the special reserve should be offset against the cost of fixed assets, and a corresponding accumulated depreciation are recognised. The fixed assets are no longer be depreciated in future. (2)Segment information The Group identifies operating segments based on the internal organisation structure, management requirements and internal reporting system, and discloses segment information of reportable segments which is determined on the basis of operating segments. An operating segment is a component of the Group that satisfies all of the following conditions: (1) the component is able to earn revenue and incur expenses from its ordinary activities; (2) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and (3) for which the information on financial position, operating results and cash flows is available to the Group. If two or more operating segments have similar economic characteristics and satisfy certain conditions, they are aggregated into one single operating segment. VI、TAXATION 1、The main categories and rates of taxes applicable to the Group are set out below: Category Taxable basis Tax rate Enterprise income tax Taxable income 0%-25% Taxable value-added amount (Tax payable is calculated using the taxable Value-added tax (“VAT”) sales amount multiplied by the applicable 3%-13% tax rate less deductible VAT input of the current period) City maintenance and construction tax VAT paid 1%-7% Educational surcharge VAT paid 5% 2、Tax incentives The main tax incentives the Group is entitled to are as follows: Tianjin CSG Energy-Saving Glass Co., Ltd.

The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial market and seeks to reduce potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. 129 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 1、Market risk (1)Foreign exchange risk The Group’s major operational activities are carried out in Mainland China and a majority of the transactions are denominated in RMB. Some export business, however, is denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, the Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the recognized assets and liabilities, and future transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily with respect to US dollars and Hong Kong dollar. The Group monitors the scale of foreign currency transactions, foreign currency assets and liabilities, and adjusts settlement currency of export business, to furthest reduce the currency risk. On 30 June 2023, book values in RMB equivalent of the Group’s assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are summarized below: Unit: RMB 30 June 2023 USD HKD Others Total Financial assets denominated in foreign currency Cash at bank and on hand 92,085,669 10,994,887 411,610 103,492,166 Receivables 137,617,694 1,663,061 6,575,688 145,856,443 Total 229,703,363 12,657,948 6,987,298 249,348,609 Financial liabilities denominated in foreign currency Payables 29,129,682 55,836 1,643,119 30,828,637 Total 29,129,682 55,836 1,643,119 30,828,637 Unit: RMB 1 January 2023 USD HKD Others Total Financial assets denominated in foreign currency Cash at bank and on hand 31,173,757 6,942,974 213,024 38,329,755 Receivables 128,863,157 1,305,159 6,196,529 136,364,845 Total 160,036,914 8,248,133 6,409,553 174,694,600 Financial liabilities denominated in foreign currency Payables 28,189,789 234,966 4,483,784 32,908,539 Total 28,189,789 234,966 4,483,784 32,908,539 On 30 June 2023, if the currency had strengthened/weakened by 10% against the USD while all other variables had been held constant, the Group’s net profit for the year would have been approximately RMB 17,048,763 lower/higher (31 December 2022: approximately RMB 11,207,006 lower/higher) for various financial assets and liabilities denominated in USD. Other changes in exchange rate had no significant impact on the Group's operating activities except USD dollar. 130 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 (2)Interest rate risk The Group's interest rate risk arises from long-term interest bearing debts including long-term borrowings and bonds payable. Financial liabilities issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Financial liabilities issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group determines the relative proportions of its fixed rate and floating rate contracts depending on the prevailing market conditions. As at 30 June 2023, the Group’s long-term interest-bearing debts at and fixed rates and floating rates are illustrated below: Unit: RMB Type 30 June 2023 1 January 2023 Contracts at fixed rates 763,027,404 487,260,925 Contracts at floating rates 4,465,873,177 3,866,329,055 Total 5,228,900,581 4,353,589,980 The Group continuously monitors the interest rate position of the Group. Increases in interest rates will increase the cost of new borrowing and the interest expenses with respect to the Group’s outstanding floating rate borrowings, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial position. The Group makes adjustments timely with reference to the latest market conditions, which includes increasing/decreasing long-term fixed rate debts at the anticipation of increasing/decreasing interest rate. 2、Credit risk Credit risk is managed on the grouping basis. Credit risk mainly arises from cash at bank, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables. The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with cash at bank since they are mainly deposited at state- owned banks and other medium or large size listed banks. Management does not expect that there will be any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties. Furthermore, as the Group’s bank acceptance notes receivable are generally accepted by the state-owned banks and other large and medium listed banks, management believes the credit risk should be limited. In addition, the Group has policies to limit the credit exposure on accounts receivable, other receivables and trade acceptance notes receivable. The Group assesses the credit quality of and sets credit limits on its customers by taking into account their financial position, the availability of guarantee from third parties, their credit history and other factors such as current market conditions. The credit history of the customers is regularly monitored by the Group. In respect of customers with a poor credit history, the Group will use written payment reminders, or shorten or cancel credit periods, to ensure the overall credit risk of the Group is limited to a controllable extent. 3、Liquidity risk Cash flow forecasting is performed by each subsidiary of the Group and aggregated by the Group’s finance department in its headquarters. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's short-term and long- term liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash reserve, while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities from major financial institutions so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities to meet the short-term and long-term liquidity requirements. Management will implement the following measures to ensure the liquidation risk limited to a controllable extent: 131 CSG Semi-annual Report 2023 (a) The Group will have steady cash inflows from operating activities; (b) The Group will pay the debts that mature and finance the construction projects through the existing bank facilities; (c) The Group will closely monitor the payment of construction expenditure in terms of payment time and amount.
