IV. Other Information The Company’s management is responsible for the other information. Other information comprises all of the information included in the Company's 2021 Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover other information and we do not express any form of assurance or conclusions thereon. In connection with our audit on the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement for other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. V. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for Financial Statements The Company's management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that provide a fair view in accordance with Corporate Accounting Standards, and for designing, implementing and maintaining such internal controls as the management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concerns and using the going concerns as a basis of accounting unless the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process. VI. Auditor's Responsibilities for Audit of Financia l Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that states our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the China Page 4 Auditor's Report DHSZ [2022] No.000588 Independent Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with the China Independent Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: 1.Identify and assess the risks of material misstatements in financial statements, and whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the overriding of internal controls. 2.Gain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate to the circumstances. 3.Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and determine how reasonable accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management are. 4.Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's use of the going concern assumption of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, and draw a conclusion on whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required by the China Independent Auditing Standards to draw users' attention in our auditor's report on the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinions. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. 5.Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that maintains fair presentation. 6.Obtain sufficiently appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinions. Page 5 Auditor's Report DHSZ [2022] No.000588 We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any noteworthy deficiencies in internal controls that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them on all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear an impact on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and these therefore constitute the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precluded public disclosure about the matters or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determined that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interests of such communication.

III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates 1 Basis for the preparation of financial statements The preparation of financial statements of the Company is based on the actual transactions and events in accordance with the "Corporate Accounting Standards - Basic Standards" published by the Ministry of Finance and specific corporate accounting standards, application guidelines for corporate accounting standards, corporate accounting standards interpretations and other relevant regulations (hereinafter collectively referred to as "corporate accounting standards") for confirmation and measurement, combining the provisions of “Regulations on Information Disclosure and Compilation of Companies Offering Securities to the Public No. 15 - General Provisions on Financial Reports” (revised in 2014) published by CSRC. 2 Going concern basis The Company has evaluated the ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the end of the Reporting Period and has not identified any issues or circumstances that result in significant doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. 17 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 3 Statement of compliance with corporate accounting standards The financial statements are in compliance with the requirements of the corporate accounting standards, and truly and completely reflect the financial status, operating results, cash flow and other relevant information of the Company during the Reporting Period. 4 Accounting period The Company adopts the calendar year as accounting year, and a fiscal year is from January 1 to December 31 of the Gregorian calendar. 5 Operations cycle The Company does not take the operating cycle as the criteria for liquidity classification of assets and liabilities. 6 Base currency for bookkeeping The base currency for bookkeeping and the preparation of financial statements are all in RMB, and are presented in the unit of RMB’000 in all the tables herein unless otherwise specified. 7 Accounting treatments for business combinations involving enterprises under and not under common control (1) When the terms, conditions and economic influence of transactions in the process of a step-bystep combination conform to one or more of the following, accounting for multiple transactions is treated as a package transaction: (a) These transactions are made simultaneously or with consideration of influence on each other; (b) These transactions can only achieve a complete business outcome when treated as a whole; (c) The occurrence of a transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one of the other transactions; (d) A transaction alone is uneconomical, but is economical when considered together with other transactions. (2) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control (a) Individual financial statement The assets and liabilities acquired by the Company in business combinations are measured in accordance with the book value of assets and liabilities of the combined party on the date of combination (including the goodwill of the ultimate controlling party resulting from the acquisition of the combined party). The difference between the book value of net assets acquired in the combination and the book value of the consideration paid for the combination (or the total par value of shares issued) is used to adjust the capital stock premium in the capital reserve, and when the capital stock premium in the capital reserve is insufficient for offset, it is used to adjust the retained earnings. If there is a contingent consideration and it is necessary to confirm the estimated liabilities or assets, the difference between the estimated amount of liabilities or assets and the settlement amount of subsequent contingent consideration is used to adjust the capital reserve (capital stock premium), and when the capital reserve is insufficient, it is used to adjust the retained earnings. 18 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) Accounting treatments for business combinations involving enterprises under and not under common control 7 (continued) (2) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control (continued) (a) Individual financial statements (continued) For a business combination that is ultimately realized through multiple transactions, if it is a package transaction, each transaction is treated as a transaction that acquires control; if it is not a package transaction, on the date of acquisition of control, the difference between the initial cost of long-term equity investments and the book value of long-term equity investments before the combination plus the book value of the newly paid considerations on the date of combination is used to adjust the capital reserve; and when the capital reserve is insufficient for offset, it is used to adjust the retained earnings. For equity investments held prior to the date of combination, no accounting treatment is carried out for other comprehensive gains recognized by equity accounting or financial instrument confirmation and measurement standards, and up to the disposal of the investment, the accounting treatment shall be based on the same basis as the direct disposal of the assets or liabilities of the invested entity; other changes in the owner’s equity other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income or profit distribution of net assets of the invested company recognized as equity are not subject to accounting, and will be transferred to the current profit and loss until disposal of the investment. The agency fees paid for audits, legal services, assessments and consultations and other direct related expenses incurred in the business combination are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they were incurred. The transaction costs for the issuance of equity securities for the business combination that may be directly attributed to equity transactions can be deducted from equity; transaction costs directly related to the issuance of a debt instrument as a combination consideration are treated as an initial recognized amount included in the debt instrument. If the combined party has a consolidated financial statement, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is determined based on the owner's equity attributable to the Company as the parent in the consolidated financial statements of the combined party. (b) Consolidated financial statements The assets and liabilities acquired by the combining party in the business combination are measured in accordance with the book value of the owner's equity of the combined party in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party. For the case where a business combination is finally realized through multiple transactions, if it is a package transaction, each transaction is treated as a transaction for acquiring control; if it is not a package transaction, the long-term equity investments held by the combined party before the combination, the gains and losses, other comprehensive income and other changes in owners' equity have been recognized between the date of acquisition or the date of the combining party and the combined party under the final control of the same party, whichever is later, and the date of combination. These are used to offset the initial retained earnings or current profit and loss during the comparative reporting periods respectively. If the accounting policies adopted by the combined parties are inconsistent with those adopted by the Company, the Company shall make adjustments in accordance with the accounting policies of the Company on the date of combination, and on this basis, confirm the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. 19 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) Accounting treatments for business combinations involving enterprises under and not under common control 7 (continued) (3) Combination not under common control The assets paid and liabilities incurred or assumed of the Company as a consideration for the business combination are measured at fair value on the date of purchase, and the difference between the fair value and the book value is recognized in profit or loss. Where a future event that may affect the combination costs is agreed in the combination contract, if the estimated future events are likely to occur on the date of purchase and the amount of the impact on combination costs can be reliably measured, it is also included in the combination costs. The agency fees paid for audits, legal services, assessments and consultations and other directly related expenses incurred in the business combination are recognized in profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred. The transaction costs for the issuance of equity securities for the business combination that may be directly attributed to equity transactions can be deducted from equity; The difference between the higher combination cost and lower fair value of identifiable net assets of the acquired party gained in the combination is recognized as goodwill by the Company. In case that the cost of combination is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquired party gained in the combination, and the difference is still less than the fair value of identifiable net assets of the acquired party gain in the combination after review, the difference is included in the current profit and loss by the Company. For the case where a business combination involving enterprises not under common control is finally realized through multiple transactions step by step, if it is a package transaction, each transaction is treated as a transaction for acquiring control; if it is not a package transaction, the individual financial stateme nts and consolidated financial statements are treated separately for accounting purposes. (a) In the individual financial statements, if the equity investment held before the date of combination is accounted for in the equity method, the sum of the book value of equity investments of the acquired party held before the date of acquisition plus the new investment cost on the date of acquisition is recognized as the initial cost of the investment; the remaining comprehensive income confirmed in equity inve stments by the equity method before the date of acquisition is accounted for, when the investment is disposed, on the same basis as those the invested party adopted directly to dispose of the relevant assets or liabilities. If the equity investment held before the date of combination is accounted for by financial instrument recognition and measurement criteria, the sum of the fair value of equity investment on the date of combination plus the new investment cost is taken as the initial investment cost on the date of combination. The difference between the fair value and the book value of the original equity interest, and the accumulated fair value changes originally included in other comprehensive income should be transferred to return on investment in the current period of combination date. (b) In the consolidated financial statements, the equity of the acquired party held before the date of acquisition is re-measured according to the fair value of the equity on the date of acquisition. The difference between the fair value and the book value is included in the current return on investment; if the equity of the acquired party held before the date of acquisition involves other comprehensive income, etc. under the equity method, other comprehensive income, etc. related to it is converted into return on investment in the current period of the acquisition date. 20 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 8 Method for preparing consolidated financial statements The scope of consolidation of the Company's consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control, and all subsidiaries (including separate entities controlled by the parent Company) are included in the consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by all subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements are consistent with the Company. If the accounting policies or accounting periods adopted by the subsidiaries are inconsistent with the Company, necessary adjustments will be made in accordance with the Company's accounting policies and accounting periods when preparing consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements are based on the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as well as other relevant information, and are prepared by the Company after adjusting the long-term equity investments for the subsidiaries in accordance with the equity method. The impact of internal transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, and internal transactions between subsidiaries, on the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated income statement, consolidated cash flow statement and consolidated statement of changes in shareholder equity is offset in the preparation of consolidated financial statements. If the current losses shared by the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceed the share enjoyed by the minority shareholder in the initial owner's equity of the subsidiary, the balance will still reduce the minority interests. During the Reporting Period, if a subsidiary or business is added due to the business combination involving enterprises under common control, the opening balance of the consolidated balance sheet is adjusted; the income, expenses and profits of the subsidiary or business from the beginning of the period of combination to the end of the Reporting Period are included in the consolidated income statement; the cash flows of the subsidiary or business from the beginning of the period of combination to the end of the Reporting Period are included in the consolidated cash flow statement. If a subsidiary or business is added due to a business combination involving enterprises under non-common control, the opening balance of the consolidated balance sheet is not adjusted; the income, expenses and profits of the subsidiary or business from the date of acquisition to the end of the Reporting Period are included in the consolidated income statement; the cash flow of the subs idiary or business from the date of acquisition to the end of the Reporting Period is included in the consolidated cash flow statement. During the Reporting Period, if a subsidiary or business is added due to a business combination involving enterpris es under non-common control, the opening balance of the consolidated balance sheet is not adjusted; the income, expenses and profits of the subsidiary or business from the date of acquisition to the end of the Reporting Period are included in the consolidated income statement; the cash flow of the subsidiary or business from the date of acquisition to the end of the Reporting Period is included in the consolidated cash flow statement. During the Reporting Period, if the Company disposes of a subsidiary or business, the income, expenses and profits of the subsidiary or business from the beginning of the period to the disposal date are included in the consolidated income statement; the cash flow of the subsidiary or business from the beginning of the Reporting Period to the disposal date is included in the consolidated cash flow statement. When the Company loses control over the invested party due to disposal of part of the equity investment or other reasons, the remaining equity investment after disposal will be re-measured according to its fair value by the Company on the date of loss of control. The difference of the sum of the consideration obtained from the disposal of the equity and the fair value of the remaining equity, less the sum of the share of net assets and goodwill of the original subsidiary that should be enjoyed in accordance with the original share-holding ratio since the date of acquisition or combination, is accounted for the return on investment in the current period of loss of control. Other comprehensive income or net profit and loss related to the original subsidiary's equity investment, other comprehensive income and other changes in owner's equity other than profit distribution, will be converted into current return on investment when control is lost, except for other comprehensive gains arising from the re-measurement of net liabilities of the Benefit Plan made by the invested party or changes in net assets. 21 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 9 Classification of joint arrangements and accounting treatment method for joint operations (1) Classification of joint arrangements The Company classifies a joint arrangement as a joint operation or a joint venture according to factors such as the structure and legal form of the joint arrangement, the terms agreed in the joint arrangement, other relevant facts and circumstances. Joint arrangements not reached through independent entities are classified as joint operations; joint arrangements reached through independent entities are usually classified as joint ventures; however, a joint arrangement that is indicated by conclusive evidence of meeting any of the following conditions and meeting the provisions of relevant laws and regulations is classified as a joint operation: ① The legal form of the joint arrangement shows that the parties have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. ② The contractual terms of the joint arrangement stipulates that the parties have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. ③ Other relevant facts and circumstances show that the parties have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. For example, the parties enjoy almost all the output related to the joint arrangement, and the repayment of the liabilities relating to the arrangement continues relying on the support of the parties. (2) Accounting treatment The Company shall recognize the following items in relation to interest in the joint operation, and carry out accounting treatment in accordance with the provisions of relevant accounting standards for business enterprises: ① its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; ② its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; ③ its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operations; ④ its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operations; and ⑤ its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. If investing or selling assets (except those that constitute a business), etc., into or to the joint operation, the Company shall only recognize the part of the profit and loss arising from the transaction attributable to other participants in the joint operation, before the assets, etc., are sold to a third party by the joint operation. The Company will recognize in full the asset impairment loss arising if the assets invested or sold are impaired in compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 - Asset Impairment, etc. If purchasing assets (except those that constitute a business), etc., from the joint operation, the Company shall only recognize the part of the profit and loss arising from the transaction attributable to other participants in the joint operation, before the assets, etc., are sold to a third party by the Company. The Company will recognize its share of the asset impairment loss arising if the assets purchased are impaired in compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 - Asset Impairment, etc. The Company does not enjoy joint control over the joint operations. If the Company has rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the joint operation, it shall still be accounted for by the above principles; otherwise, it shall be accounted for by the relevant accounting standards for business enterprises. 22 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 10 Criteria for determining cash and cash equivalents In the preparation of the cash flow statement, the Company recognizes cash holdings and deposits that can be used for payment at any time as cash. The Company recognizes cash that is easily converted into known amount with short holding period (generally due within three months from the date of purchase) and strong liquidity, and investments with low risk of changes in value (including investments in bonds within three months, while excluding equity investments), as cash equivalents. 11 Foreign currency business and translation of foreign currency statements (1) Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are translated into base currency at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the exchange differences resulted therefrom, except that the exchange differences arising from special foreign currency loans related to the acquisition and construction of assets eligible for capitalization should be treated in accordance with the principle of capitalization of borrowing costs, are all included in the current profit and loss. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are still translated at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date, and the amount of base currency for bookkeeping is not changed. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated at the spot exchange rates on the date when the fair value is determined, and the exchange differences resulted therefrom are included in profit or loss in the current period as a change in fair value. In the case of foreign currency non-monetary items that are at fair value through other comprehensive income, the exchange differences incurred are included in other comprehensive income. (2) Translation of foreign currency financial statement When the Company translates the financial statements of overseas operations, the assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The owner’s equity items, except for the “undistributed profits” item, are translated at the spot exchange rate at the time of occurrence of the items. All the incurred items in the income statement are translated at the current average exchange rate of the period in which transactions occur. The translation differences of foreign currency financial statement arising from the above translation are included in other comprehensive income. When disposing of an overseas operation, the translation differences in the foreign currency financial statements related to the foreign operation listed in other comprehensive income items in the balance sheet are transferred from the other comprehensive income item to the current profit and loss. All the incurred items in the cash flow statement are translated at the current average exchange rate of the period in which transactions occur. All the opening balance and actual amount of the previous year are listed on the basis of the amount translated in the previous year. 23 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 12 Financial instruments When the Company becomes a party to a financial instrument, it recognizes a financial asset or liability. The effective interest method refers to the method of calculating the amortized cost of financial assets or liabilities and allocating interest income or interest expenses into each accounting period. The effective interest rate refers to the interest rate used to discount the estimated future cash flow of a financial asset or financial liability during its expected duration to the book balance of the financial asset or the amortized cost of the financial liability. When determining the effective interest rate, the expected cash flow is estimated on the basis of considering all contract terms of financial assets or liabilities (such as prepayment, extension, call options or other similar options), but the expected credit loss is not considered. The amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the accumulated amortization amount formed by deducting the repaid principal from the initial recognition amount of the financial asset or financial liability, adding or subtracting the difference between the initial recognition amount and the maturity amount by using the effective interest method, and then deducting the accumulated accrued loss reserve (only applicable to financial assets). (1) Classification and measurement of financial assets According to the business model of the financial assets under management and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, the Company divides the financial assets into the following three categories: (a) Financial assets at amortized cost. (b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. (c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are measured at fair value when initially recognized, but if the accounts or notes receivable arising from the sale of goods or the provision of services do not contain significant financing components or do not consider financing components for no more than one year, the initial measurement shall be made at the transaction price. For financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, transaction expenses are directly recognized in the current profit and loss. For other financial assets, transaction expenses are included in the initial recognition amount. Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification. All related financial assets affected will be reclassified when and only when the Company changes its business model of managing financial assets. (a) Financial assets classified as measured at amortized cost The contract terms of a financial asset stipulate that the cash flow generated on a specific date is only the payment of the principal and the interest on the amount of outstanding principal, and the business model for managing the financial asset is to collect the contractual cash flow, then the Company classifies the financial asset as measured at amortized cost. Financial assets of the Company that are classified as measured at amortized cost include monetary assets, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, long-term receivables, debt investments, etc. 24 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 12 Financial instruments (continued) (1) Classification and measurement of financial assets (continued) The Company recognizes interest income from such financial assets with the effective interest method, and carries out subsequent measurement at amortized cost. Gains or losses arising from impairment or derecognition or modification are included in current profit and loss. The Company calculates and determines the interest income based on the book balance of financial assets multiplied by the effective interest rate except for the following circumstances: ① For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Company calculates and determines their interest income at the amortized cost of the financial assets and the credit-adjusted effective interest rate since the initial recognition. ② For financial assets not credit-impaired at the time of being purchased or originated but in the subsequent period, the Company calculates and determines their interest income at the amortized cost and the effective interest rate of the financial assets in the subsequent period. If the financial instrument is no longer credit-impaired due to the improvement of its credit risk in the subsequent period, the Company calculates and determines the interest income by multiplying the effective interest rate by the book balance of the financial asset. (b) Financial assets classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income The contract terms of a financial asset stipulate that the cash flow generated on a specific date is only the payment of the principal and the interest on the amount of outstanding principal, and the business model for managing the financial assets is both to collect contractual cash flow and for its sale, then the Company classifies the financial assets as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company recognizes interest income from such financial assets with the effective interest method. Except that the interest income, impairment loss and exchange difference are recognized as the current profit and loss, other changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognized, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in the current profit and loss. Notes and accounts receivable at fair value through other comprehensive income are reported as receivables financing, and such other financial assets are reported as other debt investments. Among them, other debt investments maturing within one year from the balance sheet date are reported as the current portion of non-current assets, and other debt investments maturing within one year are reported as other current assets. (c) Financial assets designated as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income At the time of initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate non-trading equity instrument investments as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income on the basis of individual financial assets. Changes in the fair value of such financial assets are included in other comprehensive income without allowance for impairment. When the financial asset is derecognized, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in the retained earnings. During the investment period when the Company holds the equity instrument, the dividend income is recognized and included in the current profit and loss when the Company's right to receive dividends has been established, the economic benefits related to dividends are likely to flow into the Company, and the amount of dividends can be measured reliably. The Company reports such financial assets under the item of investments in other equity instruments. 25 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 12 Financial instruments (continued) (1) Classification and measurement of financial assets (continued) An investment in equity instruments is a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss when it is obtained mainly for recent sale, or is part of the identifiable portfolio of financial assets centrally managed when initially recognized and objective evidence exists for a short-term profit model in the near future, or is a derivative (except for derivatives defined as financial guarantee contracts and designated as effective hedging instruments). (d) Financial assets classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss If failing to be classified as measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, or not designated as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets are all classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Company carries out subsequent measurement of such financial assets at fair value, and includes gains or losses arising from changes in fair value as well as dividends and interest income associated with such financial assets into current profits and losses. The Company reports such financial assets as held-for-trading financial assets and other non-current financial assets according to their liquidity. (e) Financial assets designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss At the time of initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate financial assets as measured at fair value through profit or loss on the basis of individual financial assets in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatches. If the mixed contract contains one or more embedded derivative instruments and its main contract is not any financial asset as above, the Company may designate the whole of the mixed contract as a financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss. Except under the following circumstances: ① Embedded derivatives do not significantly change the cash flow of mixed contracts. ② When determining for the first time whether similar mixed contracts need to be split, it is almost clear that embedded derivatives contained in them should not be split without analysis. If the prepayment right embedded in a loan allows the holder to prepay the loan at an amount close to the amortized cost, the prepayment right does not need to be split. The Company carries out subsequent measurement of such financial assets at fair value, and includes gains or losses arising from changes in fair value as well as dividends and interest income associated with such financial assets into current profits and losses. The Company reports such financial assets as held-for-trading financial assets and other non-current financial assets according to their liquidity. 26 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 12 Financial instruments (continued) (2) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities The Company classifies a financial instrument or its components into financial liabilities or equity instruments upon initial recognition according to the contract terms of and the economic essence reflected by the financial instrument issued, rather than only in legal form, in combination with the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments. Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition as measured at fair value through profit or loss, or other financial liabilities, or derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial liabilities are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. For financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, relevant transaction expenses are directly included in current profits and losses; For other categories of financial liabilities, relevant transaction expenses are included in the initial recognition amount. Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification: (a) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Such financial liabilities include held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives falling under financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as measured at fair value upon initial recognition and through profit or loss. A financial liability is a held-for-trading financial liability if it is mainly undertaken for recent sale or repurchase, or is part of the identifiable portfolio of financial instruments centrally managed, and there is objective evidence that the enterprise has recently employed a short-term profit model, or is a derivative instrument, except derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments and derivatives conforming to financial guarantee contracts. Held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives falling under financial liabilities) are subsequently measured at fair value. All changes in fair values except for hedging accounting are included in current profits and losses. The Company irrevocably designates financial liabilities as measured at fair value through profit or loss at the time of initial recognition in order to provide more relevant accounting information if: ① Such financial liabilities can eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatches. ② The financial liability portfolio or the portfolio of financial assets and liabilities is managed and evaluated for performance on the basis of fair value according to the enterprise risk management or investment strategy stated in the official written documents, and is reported to key management personnel within the enterprise on this basis. The Company subsequently measures such financial liabilities at fair value. Apart from changes in fair value that are brought about by changes in the Company’s own credit risk and included in other comprehensive income, other changes in fair value are included in current profits and losses. Unless including such changes in other comprehensive income will cause or expand accounting mismatch in profit or loss, the Company will include all changes in fair value (including the amount affected by changes in its own credit risk) in current profits and losses. 27 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 12 Financial instruments (continued) (2) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities (continued) (b) Other financial liabilities The Company classifies financial liabilities except for the following items as measured at amortized cost. Such financial liabilities are recognized by the effective interest method and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Gains or losses arising from derecognition or amortization are included in the current profits and losses: ① Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. ② Financial liabilities resulting from the transfer of financial assets that do not meet the conditions for derecognition or continue to be involved in the transferred financial assets. ③ Financial guarantee contracts that do not fall under the first two categories of this article, and loan commitments that do not fall under category (1) of this article and lend at a below-market interest rate. Financial guarantee contracts refer to contracts that require the issuer to pay a specific amount to the contr act holder who has suffered losses when a specific debtor fails to pay the debt in accordance with the original or modified terms of the debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts that are not financial liabilities designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured after initial recognition according to the loss reserve amount and of the initial recognition amount, less the accumulated amortization amount during the guarantee period, whichever is higher. (3) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities (a) Financial asset are derecognized, i.e. written off from its account and balance sheet if: ① The contractual right to receive cash flow from the financial asset is terminated; or ② The financial asset has been transferred, which meets the requirements for derecognition of financial assets. (b) Conditions for derecognition of financial liabilities If the current obligation of a financial liability (or part thereof) has been discharged, such financial liability (or part thereof) is derecognized. The existing financial liability is derecognized with a new one recognized, and the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or assumed liabilities) is included in the current profits and losses, if an agreement is signed between the Company and the lender to replace the existing financial liability by assuming a new one, and the contract terms of these two financial liabilities are substantially different, or the contract terms of the existing financial liability (or part thereof) are substantially modified. If the Company repurchases part of a financial liability, the carrying amount of the financial liability shall be distributed according to the proportion of the fair value of the continuing recognition portion and the derecognition portion to the overall fair value on the repurchase date. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the derecognized portion and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or liabilities assumed) shall be included in the current profits and losses. 28 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 12 Financial instruments (continued) (4) Recognition basis and measurement method of financial asset transfer When a financial asset is transferred, the Company evaluates the risks and rewards retained of the financial asset ownership: (a) If almost all the risks and rewards of the financial asset ownership are transferred, such financial asset shall be derecognized, and the rights and obligations generated or retained in the transfer shall be separately recognized as assets or liabilities. If almost all the risks and rewards of the financial asset ownership are retained, such financial asset shall (b) continue to be recognized. (c) In circumstances where the Company neither transfers nor retains almost all the risks and rewards of the financial asset ownership (i.e. circumstances other than ① and ② of this article), according to whether it retains control over such financial asset, ① the financial asset shall be derecognized, and the rights and obligations generated or retained in the transfer shall be separately recognized as assets or liabilities if such control is not retained; or ② the relevant financial asset shall continue to be recognized to the extent that it continues to be involved in the transferred financial asset, and the relevant liabilities shall be recognized accordingly if such control is retained. The extent that it continues to be involved in the transferred financial asset refers to the extent the Company bears the risks or rewards on changes in the value of the transferred financial asset. When judging whether the transfer of financial assets meets the above conditions for derecognition of financial assets, the principle of substance over form shall be adopted. The Company divides the transfer of financial assets into overall transfer and partial transfer. If the overall transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognition, the difference between the (a) following two amounts shall be included in the current profits and losses: ① The carrying amount of the transferred financial asset on the date of derecognition. ② The sum of the consideration received for the transfer of financial assets and the amount of the corresponding derecognized portion of the accumulated changes in fair value originally included in other comprehensive income directly (the financial assets involved in the transfer are financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income). (b) If the financial asset is partially transferred and the transferred part meets the conditions for derecognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset before transfer shall be allocated between the derecognition portion and the continuing recognition portion (in this case, the retained service asset shall be regarded as the continuing recognition part of the financial asset) according to the respective relative fair values on the transfer date, and the difference between the following two amounts shall be included in the current profits and losses: ① The carrying amount of the derecognized portion on the derecognition date. ② The sum of the consideration received for the derecognized portion and the amount of the corresponding derecognized portion of the accumulated changes in fair value originally included in other comprehensive income (the financial assets involved in the transfer are financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income). 29 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 12 Financial instruments (continued) (4) Recognition basis and measurement method of financial asset transfer (continued) If the transfer of a financial asset does not meet the conditions for derecognition, the financial asset shall continue to be recognized and the consideration received shall be recognized as a financial liability. (5) Determination of fair value of financial assets and liabilities The fair value of a financial asset or liability with an active market shall be determined by the quoted price in the active market, unless the financial asset has a sell-off period for the asset itself. For the financial assets restricted for the assets themselves, the compensation amount demanded by market participants due to the risk of not being able to sell the financial assets on the open market within the specified period shall be deducted from the quoted price in the active market. Quoted prices in the active market includes those for related assets or liabilities that can be easily and regularly obtained from exchanges, dealers, brokers, industry groups, pricing or regulatory agencies, and can represent actual and recurring market transactions on the basis of fair trade. Financial assets initially acquired or derived or financial liabilities assumed shall be determined on the basis of market transaction price. The fair value of financial assets or liabilities without an active market shall be determined by valuation techniques. At the time of valuation, the Company adopts valuation techniques that are applicable under the current circumstances and are supported by sufficient available data and other information, selects input values consistent with the characteristics of relevant assets or liabilities considered by market participants in the transactions thereof, and gives priority to the use of relevant observable input values whenever possible. If the relevant observable input value cannot be obtained or be feasibly obtained, the unobservable input value shall be used. 30 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 12 Financial instruments (continued) (6) Impairment of financial instruments Based on the expected credit loss, the Company conducts impairment accounting of financial assets classified as measured at amortized cost, financial assets classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial guarantee contracts and recognizes loss reserves. Expected credit loss refers to the weighted average of the credit losses of financial instruments weighted by the risk of default. Credit loss refers to the difference between all contractual cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate and receivable according to the contract and all cash flows expected to be collected of the Company, i.e. the present value of all cash shortfalls. Among them, credit-impaired purchased or originated financial assets of the Company shall be discounted at the credit-adjusted effective interest rate of such financial assets. For receivables arising from transactions regulated by the income criteria, the Company uses the simplified measurement method to measure the loss reserve according to the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss during the entire duration. For credit-impaired purchased or originated financial assets, only the accumulated changes in the expected credit losses during the entire duration since the initial recognition are recognized as loss reserves on the balance sheet date. On each balance sheet date, the amount of change in the expected credit loss during the entire duration is included in the current gains and losses as impairment losses or gains. Even if the expected credit loss during the entire duration on the balance sheet date is less than that reflected in the estimated cash flow upon initial recognition, the favorable change in the expected credit loss is recognized as impairment gains. In addition to other financial assets adopting the above simplified measurement method and other than the credit-impaired purchased or originated ones, the Company evaluates whether the credit risk of relevant financial instruments has increased significantly since the initial recognition, measures its loss reserves and recognizes the expected credit loss and its changes respectively according to the following circumstances on each balance sheet date: (a) If the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, it is in the first stage, and its loss reserve shall be measured according to an amount equivalent to its expected credit loss over the next 12 months, and the interest income shall be calculated according to the book balance and the effective interest rate. (b) If the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition but no credit impairment has occurred, it is in the second stage, and its loss reserve shall be measured according to an amount equivalent to its expected credit loss throughout its life, and the interest income shall be calculated according to the book balance and the effective interest rate. (c) If the financial instrument is credit-impaired since its initial recognition, it is in the third stage, and the Company shall measure its loss reserve according to an amount equivalent to its expected credit loss throughout its life, and calculate the interest income at the amortized cost and the effective interest rate. The increase or reversed amount of the credit loss reserve for financial instruments shall be included in the current profits and losses as impairment losses or gains. Except for financial assets classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the credit loss reserve will offset the carrying amount of the financial assets. For financial assets classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Company recognizes its credit loss reserve in other comprehensive income without reducing its carrying amount presented in the balance sheet. 31 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 12 Financial instruments (continued) (6) Impairment of financial instruments (continued) In the previous accounting period, the Company has measured the loss reserve, the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss of the financial instruments throughout its life. However, on the balance sheet date of the current period, the financial instrument no longer conforms to the situation of significant increase in credit risk since initial confirmation; on the balance sheet date of the current period, the Company has measured the loss reserve of the financial instruments, the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss in the next 12 months, and the reversed amount of the loss reserve thus formed is included in the current profit and loss as impairment profit. (a) Significant increase in credit risk In order to determine whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since the initial recognition, the Company uses the available reasonable and based forward-looking information and compares the risk of default of financial instruments on the balance sheet date with the risk of default on the initial confirmation date. When the Company applies provisions on depreciation of financial instruments to financial guarantee contracts, the initial recognition date shall be regarded as the date when the Company becomes a party to make irrevocable commitments. For the assessment of whether the credit risk has increased significantly, the Company will consider the following factors ① According to whether the actual or expected debtor's operations results have changed significantly; ② Whether the regulatory, economic or technological environment of the debtor has undergone significant adverse changes; ③ Whether the following items have changed significantly: the value of collateral as debt mortgage, or the guarantee provided by a third party, or the quality of credit enhancement; these changes will reduce the debtor’s economic motivation to repay the loan within the time limit stipulated in the contract and could impact the probability of default; ④ Whether the debtor's expected performance and repayment behavior have changed significantly; ⑤ Whether the Company's credit management methods for financial instruments have changed, etc. If, on the balance sheet date, the credit risk of the financial instrument is judged to be low by the Company, the Company assumes that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since the initial recognition. The financial instrument will be deemed to have lower credit risk under the following circumstances: the default risk of the financial instrument is lower; the borrower has a strong capacity to fulfill its contractual cash flow obligations in a short time; furthermore, even if there are adverse changes in the economic situation and operating environment for a long period of time, it may not necessarily reduce the borrower’s ability to fulfill its contractual cash flow obligations. 32 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 12 Financial instruments (continued) (6) Impairment of financial instruments (continued) (b) Financial assets with depreciation of credit If one or more events have adverse effects on the expected future cash flow of a financial asset, the financial asset will become a financial asset that has suffered credit impairment. The following observable information can be regarded as evidence of credit impairment of financial assets: ① The issuer or debtor is in serious financial difficulty; ② The debtor breaches the contract, such as default or overdue payment of interest or principal, etc.; ③ The creditor gives concessions to the debtor due to economic or contractual considerations related to the debtor's financial difficulties; the concessions will not be made under any other circumstances; ④ There is a great possibility of bankruptcy or other financial restructuring of the debtor; ⑤ The issuer or debtor has financial difficulties, resulting in the disappearance of the active market for the financial assets; ⑥ Purchasing or generation of a financial asset with a large discount, which reflects the fact of credit loss. Credit impairment of financial assets may not be caused by separately identifiable events, but may be caused by the combined effect of multiple events. (c) Determination of expected credit loss The Company’s assessment of expected credit losses of financial instruments is based on single items and combinations. During the assessment of the expected credit losses, the company will take into account reasonable and reliable information about past events, the current situation and future economic situation forecast. The Company divides financial instruments into different combinations on the basis of common credit risk characteristics. Common credit risk characteristics adopted by the Company include: financial instrument type, credit risk rating, aging combination, overdue aging combination, contract settlement cycle, debtor's industry, etc. To understand the individual evaluation criteria and combined credit risk characteristics of relevant financial instruments, please refer to the accounting policies of relevant financial instruments for details. The Company adopts the following methods to determine the expected credit losses of relevant financial instruments: ① In terms of financial assets, credit loss is equivalent to the present value of the difference between the contract cash flow that the Company shall receive and the expected cash flow. ② In terms of the financial guarantee contract, credit loss is equal to the expected amount of payment made by the Company to the holder of the contract for credit loss incurred, less the present value of the difference between the amount expected to be collected from the holder of the contract, the debtor or any other party. ③ If, on the balance sheet date, a financial asset has suffered credit impairment, but one does not purchase or generate a financial asset that has suffered credit impairment, the credit loss is equivalent to the difference between the book balance of the financial asset and the present value of the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original actual interest rate. Factors reflected in the Company's method of predicting credit losses by quantitative finance tools include: unbiased probability weighted average amount determined by evaluating a series of possible results; time value of money; reasonable and reliable information about past events, current situation and future econo mic situation forecast that can be obtained on the balance sheet date without unnecessary extra costs or efforts. 33 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 12 Financial instruments (continued) (6) Impairment of financial instruments (continued) (d) Write-off of financial assets If the Company cannot reasonably expect the contract cash flow of the financial asset to be fully or partially recovered, the book balance of the financial asset will be written off directly. This write-off constitutes the derecognition of relevant financial assets. (7) Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities In the balance sheet, financial assets and financial liabilities are shown separately without offsetting each other. However, if the following conditions are met at the same time, the net amount after offset will be listed in the balance sheet: (a) The Company has the legal right, which is currently enforceable, to offset the confirmed amount; The Company plans to settle on a net basis, or realize the financial assets and settle the financial liabilities at the (b) same time. 13 Notes receivable For the determination method and accounting treatment method of the Company's expected credit loss on notes receivable, please refer to 12(6) of note III Impairment of financial instruments. If sufficient evidence of expected credit loss cannot be evaluated at a reasonable cost at the level of a single instrument, the Company will refer to the experience of historical credit loss, combine the current situation and judgment on future economic situation, divide notes receivable into several combinations according to the characteristics of credit risk, and calculate expected credit loss on the basis of combinations. 34 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 14 Accounts receivable For the determination method and accounting treatment method of the Company's expected credit loss on accounts receivable, please refer to 12(6) of note III Impairment of financial instruments. As for the accounts receivable, if there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover the money according to the original terms of the accounts receivable, the Company will separately determine its credit loss. If sufficient evidence of expected credit loss cannot be assessed at reasonable cost at the level of single instrument, the Company will divide the accounts receivable into several combinations according to the credit risk characteristics, and calculate the expected credit loss on the basis of the combinations (with reference to the experience of historical credit loss, and in combination with the current situation with the judgment of future economic situation) 15 Other receivables For the determination method and accounting treatment method of the Company's expected credit loss of other receivables, please refer to 12(6) of note III Impairment of financial instruments. For other receivables for which there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover the amount according to the original terms of the receivables, the Company will separately determine its credit loss. If sufficient evidence of expected credit loss cannot be evaluated at a reasonable cost at the level of single instrument, the Company will refer to the experience of historical credit loss, combine the current situation and judgment on future economic situation, divide other receivables into several combinations according to the characteristics of credit risk, and calculate expected credit loss on the basis of combinations. 16 Inventories (1) Classification of inventories The Company classifies inventories into raw materials, in-process products, development costs, and finished products, goods shipped in transit, turnover materials and molds with an expected benefit period of less than one year, depending on the purpose of holding the inventories. Turnover materials include low-value consumables and packaging materials. (2) Valuation method for inventories shipped in transit All types of inventories are accounted for at actual cost, and actual costs include purchase costs, processing costs and other costs. Inventories are shipped in transit by weighted average method. 35 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 16 Inventories (continued) Basis for determining the net realizable value of inventories and accrual method for inventory valuation (3) allowance Closing inventories are measured at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. In cases where differences exists due to the net realizable value being less than the cost of inventory, inventory valuation allowance is made based on individual inventory items or the inventory category, and the difference is recognized in the current profit and loss. For inventories of goods directly used for sale, such as finished goods, merchandise inventories and materials for sale, in the normal production and operations process, the net realizable value is determined by the amount of the estimated selling price of the inventory less the estimated sales cost and relevant taxes and fees; for material inventories that need to be processed, in the normal production and operations process, the net realizable value is determined by the amount of the estimated selling price of finished products produced less the estimated cost occurred at the time of completion, the estimated selling expenses and related taxes; for inventories held for the execution of sales contracts or labor contracts, the net realizable value is calculated on the basis of the contract price, and if the quantity of inventories held is more than the quantity specified in sales contracts, the net realizable value of excess inventories is calculated based on the general sales price. At the end of the period, inventory valuation allowance is accrued according to individual inventory items; but for a large number of inventories with lower unit prices, inventory valuation allowance is accrued according to inventory category; for inventories related to the product series produced and sold in the same region with the same or similar end use or purpose, which is difficult to measure separately from other items, thus inventory valuation allowance is accrued and combined with other items. If the influencing factors of the write-down of inventory value have disappeared, the amount written-down is recovered and reversed to the amount of inventory valuation allowance already accrued, and the amount reversed is included in the current profit and loss. (4) Inventory system The Company adopts a perpetual inventory system for inventory management. (5) Amortization method of turnover materials The Company amortizes turnover materials by the one-off amortization method, and the molds with a benefit period of less than one year are amortized within the period of not exceeding one year according to the expected benefit period. 17 Contract assets A contract asset shall be recognized if the Company has transferred the goods to the customer and has the right to receive a consideration depending on other factors than the passage of time. The right of the Company to unconditionally receive the considerations from customers (i.e., only depending on the passage of time) is listed independently as receivables. For the determination method and accounting treatment method of the Company’s expected credit loss on contract assets, please refer to 12(6) of note III Impairment of financial instruments. 36 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 18. Held-for-sale (1) Criteria for classification as being held for sale The Company recognizes non-current assets or disposal groups that meet both of the following conditions as components held for sale: ① they can be sold immediately under the current status according to the practice of selling such assets or disposal groups in similar transactions; ② The sale is likely to occur, that is, the Company has made a resolution on the sale plan, obtained the approval from the regulatory authorities (if applicable), and obtained a confirmed purchase commitment that the sale is expected to be completed in one year. The confirmed purchase commitment refers to a legally binding purchase agreement concluded by and between the Company and another party, which contains important terms such as transaction price, time and sufficiently severe penalty for breach of contract, so that there will be little possibility of major adjustments to or cancellation of the agreement. (2) Accounting for non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale The Company shall not depreciate or amortize non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale. If the book value is higher than the amount of fair value net of selling expenses, the former shall be written down to the latter. The amount written down shall be recognized as asset impairment loss and included in the current profit and loss, and the impairment allowance for assets held for sale shall be accrued at the same time. The non-current asset or disposal group classified as being held for sale on the date of acquisition shall be initially measured at whichever initially measured amount is lower under the assumption that it is not classified as being held for sale and the amount of fair value net of selling expenses. The above principles are applicable to all non-current assets, except investment real estate subsequently measured by the fair value model, biological assets measured by the amount of fair value net of selling expenses, assets formed by employee compensation, deferred tax assets, financial assets regulated by the relevant accounting standards of financial instruments, and rights arising from insurance contracts regulated by the relevant accounting standards of insurance contracts. 19 Other debt investments For the determination method and accounting treatment methods of the Company’s expected credit loss of other debt investments, please refer to 12(6) of note III Impairment of financial instruments. 20 Long-term receivables For the determination method and accounting treatment method of the Company's expected credit loss on Long-term receivables, please refer to 12(6) of note III Impairment of financial instruments. As for the accounts receivable, if there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover the money according to the original terms of the accounts receivable, the Company will separately determine its credit loss. If sufficient evidence of expected credit loss cannot be evaluated at a reasonable cost at the level of single instrument, the Company will refer to the experience of historical credit loss, combine the current situation and judgment on future economic situations, divide long receivables into several combinations according to the characteristics of credit risk, and calculate expected credit loss on the basis of combinations. 37 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 21 Long-term equity investments Long-term equity investments comprise the Company’s long-term equity investments in its subsidiaries, and the Company’s long-term equity investments in its associates and joint ventures. Subsidiaries are the investees over which the Company is able to exercise control. A joint venture is a joint arrangement which is structured through a separate vehicle over which the Company has joint control together with other parties and only has rights to the net assets of the arrangement based on legal forms, contractual terms and other facts and circumstances. Associates are the investees that the Company has significant influence on their financial and operating policies. Investments in subsidiaries are presented in the Company’s financial statements using the cost method, and are adjusted to the equity method when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Investments in a joint venture and associates are accounted for using the equity method. (1) Recognition of initial investment cost (a) Long-term equity investment formed by business combination For long-term equity investment acquired by business combination involving enterprises under common control, the book value of assets and liabilities of the combined party in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party as at the date of combination (including the goodwill formed by the ultimate controlling party's acquisition of the combined party) is recognized as investment cost. For long-term equity investment formed by combination, the share of the book value of shareholder equity of the combined party acquired on the date of combination is recognized as initial investment cost. The difference between the initial investment cost and assets paid as per consideration for combination, the book value of liabilities incurred or assumed and the total par value of shares issued, is used to adjust capital reserve, and when the capital reserve is insufficient, it is used to adjust retained earnings. For long-term equity investment acquired by business combinations involving enterprises not under common control, the combination cost is recognized as investment cost of the long-term equity investment. The combination cost is the fair value of assets paid, the liabilities incurred o r assumed, and the equity securities issued to acquire the control of acquired party on the date of acquisition. The difference between the higher combination cost and lower fair value of identifiable net assets of the acquired party acquired in the combination is recognized as goodwill; the difference between the lower combination cost and higher fair value of identifiable net assets of the acquired party acquired in the combination is included in current profits and losses after review. For business combination involving enterprises not under common control realized step by step through multiple transactions, the sum of the book value of equity investment held by the acquirer before the date of acquisition and the new investment cost on the date of acquisition is recognized as initial investment cost, and the combination cost includes the sum of assets paid, the liabilities incurred or assumed by the acquirer, and the fair value of equity securities issued. (b) Long-term equity investment acquired by other means For long-term equity investment acquired by cash payment, the actual acquisition price is recognized as initial investment cost. The initial investment cost includes expenses, taxes and other necessary expenses directly related to the acquisition of the long-term equity investment; the transaction costs incurred when issuing or acquiring the own equity instruments of acquirer attributed directly to equity transactions which can be deducted from the equity. For long-term equity investment acquired by issuing equity securities, the fair value of equity securities issued is recognized as initial investment cost. 38 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 21 Long-term equity investments (continued) Provided that the non-monetary asset exchange contains commercial substance and the fair value of the assets received or assets surrendered can be reliably measured, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment received with non-monetary assets is determined based on the fair value of the assets surrendered, except that there is conclusive evidence that indicates that the fair value of assets received is more reliable. For non-monetary assets that do not satisfy the above condition, the book value of assets surrendered and related taxes and fees payable are recognized as the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment. The initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment acquired by debt restructuring is determined on the basis of fair value. (2) Subsequent measurement and recognition of related profit and loss (a) Subsequent measurement The Company adopts the cost method to account for the long-term equity investments under the control of investee, and the consolidated financial statements are adjusted in accordance with the equity method in preparation. The Company adopts the equity method to account for the long-term equity investments in associates and joint ventures. The difference between the higher initial investment cost and the fair value share of identifiable net assets of the investee enjoyed in the investment is not used to adjust the initial investment cost of the long-term investment; the difference between the lower initial investment cost and the fair value share of identifiable net assets of the investee enjoyed at the time of conducting the investment is included in the current profits and losses. (b) Recognition of profit and loss Under the cost method, in addition to the actual payment or the cash dividends or profits included in the consideration that have been declared but not yet paid, the Company recognizes the investment income according to the cash dividends or profits that the investee declared to pay. Under the equity method, when the investment enterprise confirms that it should enjoy the net profit or net loss of the investee, it should adjust the net profit of the investee based on the fair value of identifiable assets of the investee at the time of conducting the investment before the confirmation, and the part of profit and loss of internal transaction between the investor and associates and joint venture that should be attributed to the investor according to the shareholding ratio, should be offset, and the investment profits and losses should be confirmed on this basis. When the Company confirms that it should assume the loss occurred by the investee, the process hereunder is followed: first, the book value of the long-term equity investment is offset. Secondly, if the book value of the long-term equity investment is insufficient for the offset, the investment loss is continued to be recognized, and the book value of long-term receivable items is offset, subject to other book value of the longterm equity that substantially constitutes the net investment of the investee. Finally, after the above-mentioned treatment, if the Company still bears additional obligations in accordance with the investment contract or agreement, the estimated liabilities are recognized according to the estimated obligations and included in the current investment losses. If the investee realizes profit in the future period, the Company shall, after deducting the unconfirmed loss share, conduct the process in the reverse order of the above to write down the book balance of the confirmed liabilities and recover other long-term equity that substantially constitutes net investment of the investee and the book value of the long-term equity, and recognize the profit as return on investment. Other changes in the owner's equity other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution of the investee, are used to adjust the book value of the long-term equity investment and included in capital reserve. The unrealized profit and loss from internal transactions between the Company and the investee attributed to the Company according to the shareholding ratio, is offset, and the investment profit and loss is recognized on this basis. In respect of the internal transaction losses incurred by the Company and the investee, for the part recognized asset impairment losses, the corresponding unrealized losses are not offset. 39 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 21 Long-term equity investments (continued) (3) Step-by-step disposal of investment in subsidiaries When the terms, conditions and economic influence of transactions of the equity investment of the subsidiary conform to one or more of the following, accounting for multiple transactions is treated as a package transaction: (a) These transactions are made simultaneously or with consideration of influence on each other; (b) These transactions can only achieve a complete business outcome when treated as a whole; (c) The occurrence of a transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one of the other transactions; (d) A transaction alone is uneconomical, but is economical when considered together with other transactions. When an enterprise loses control over the original subsidiary due to disposal of part of the equity investment or other reasons, if the transactions do not belong to a package transaction, the accounting treatment of individual financial statements and consolidated financial statements should be distinguished as follows: (a) In the individual financial statements, the disposed equity should be accounted for in accordance with the "Corporate Accounting Standards No. 2 - Long-term Equity Investment"; meanwhile, the remaining equity should be recognized as long-term equity or other related financial assets based on its book value. If the remaining equity after disposal can be used to exercise common control or significant influence on the original subsidiary, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the relevant provisions on the conversion of the cost method into the equity method. (b) In the consolidated financial statements, the remaining equity should be re-measured in accordance with its fair value on the date of loss of control. The difference between the sum of the consideration acquired from the disposal of the equity and the fair value of the remaining equity, less the share of net assets of the original subsidiary that should be enjoyed in accordance with the original shareholding ratio from the date of acquisition, is included in the current profit and loss of the period in which loss of control occurred. Other comprehensive income related to the original subsidiary's equity investment should be converted into current investment income when control is lost. The Company shall disclose in the notes the fair value of the remaining equity after disposal on the date of loss of control and the amount of relevant gains or losses arising from the disposal remeasured based on the fair value. If the transactions of disposal of equity investment in a subsidiary until the loss of control is a package transaction, the accounting treatment of individual financial statements and consolidated financial statements should be distinguished as follows: : (a) In the individual financial statements, the difference between each disposal price and the book value of the long-term equity investment corresponding to the disposed equity before the loss of control is recognized as other comprehensive income, and transferred to the current profit and loss of the period in which the loss of control occurred; (b) In the consolidated financial statements, the difference between each disposal price and the disposal of investment corresponding to the share of the net assets of the subsidiary before the loss of control is recognized as other comprehensive income, and transferred to the current profit and loss of the period in which the loss of control occurred. 40 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 21 Long-term equity investments (continued) (4) Basis for determining control, common control and significant influence on the investee Control means having the power of control over the investee, enjoying variable returns by participating in the relevant activities of the investee, and having the ability to use the power over the investee to influence the amount of returns. Common control means the control that is common to an arrangement in accordance with the relevant agreement, and the decisions of relevant activities of the arrangement must be made upon agreement of the Company and other parties sharing the control rights. Significant influence means the power to participate in the decision-making of the financial and operating policies of the investee, but by which cannot control or commonly control together with other parties the formulation of the policies. (5) Impairment test and allowance for impairment On the balance sheet date, if there is any indication that the long-term equity investment is impaired due to continuous decline in the market price or deterioration of operating conditions of the investee, the recoverable amount of long-term equity investment is determined according to the net value of a single long-term equity investment less the disposal expenses or the present value of expected future cash flows of the long-term equity investment, whichever is higher. When the recoverable amount of the long-term equity investment is lower than the book value, the book value of assets is written-off to the recoverable amount, and the amount written-down is recognized as asset impairment losses, which is included in the current profit and loss, and the corresponding allowance for asset impairment is made. For long-term equity investments without significant influence or quotation in an active market and whose fair value cannot be measured in a reliable way, the impairment loss is determined by the difference between the book value and the present value determined by discounting the future cash flows of similar financial assets at the current market rate of return. Other long-term equity investments with signs of impairment other than goodwill arising from business combination, if the measurement of recoverable amount indicates that the recoverable amount of the long-term equity investment is lower than its book value, the difference is recognized as impairment losses. Goodwill arising from a business combination is tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment. Once the impairment loss of long-term equity investment is confirmed, it will not be reversed. 22 Investment property The Company's investment property means the property held for the purpose of earning rent or capital appreciation, or both, including the land use rights that have been leased, the land use rights that are held for transfer upon appreciation, and the leased buildings. In addition, for the vacant buildings held by the Company for the purpose of leases, if the Board of Directors makes a written resolution that expressly indicates that the buildings will be used for leases and the intention of holding will not change in a short-term, the building will also be reported as investment property. The Company adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment property. For the purpose of depreciation or amortization method, the same amortization policy adopted for buildings as fixed assets and land use rights as intangible assets are used. 41 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 23 Fixed assets (1) Recognition criteria for fixed assets Fixed assets mean tangible assets held for the purpose of producing goods, rendering of services, leases or operation management, whose service life is more than one fiscal year. Fixed assets satisfying the following conditions are recognized: (a) The economic benefits associated with the fixed assets are likely to flow into the enterprise; (b) The cost of the fixed asset can be measured in a reliable way. The Company's fixed assets are classified into buildings, machinery and equipment, office and electronic equipment, transportation vehicles and fixed assets renovation in line with capitalization conditions. Where each component of a fixed asset with a different service life provides economic benefits to the Company in different ways and applies different depreciation rates, it is recognized as a single fixed asset. Fixed assets are initially measured at cost. The cost of purchasing fixed assets includes the purchase price, related taxes, and other expenses attributable to the fixed asset before it is ready for the intended use, such as the expenses on transportation, handling, installation and professional services, etc. When determining the cost of fixed assets, discard expenses should be considered. Subsequent expenditures related to fixed assets that satisfy the recognition criteria of fixed assets are included in the cost of fixed assets; otherwise, they are recognized in profit and loss in the period in which they arise. Fixed assets are depreciated by the straight-line method. The depreciation rate of various fixed assets is determined according to the estimated service life and estimated residual value (the estimated residual value is 0-10% of the original value). The depreciation rate of classified fixed assets is as follows: Annual Asset Category Estimated Service Life Depreciation Rate Houses and buildings 20-50 years 2-5% Machinery and equipment (exclude mold) 5-18 years 5-20% Mold (with benefit period more than one year) 1-3 years 33-100% Office and electronic equipment 3-22 years 4-33% Transportation equipment 4-8 years 12-25% Other devices 4-5 years 20-25% Power stations 25 4% Fixed assets renovation is amortized evenly over the benefit period. All fixed assets are subject to depreciation, except for fixed assets that have been fully depreciated and continue to be used, and the land that is priced and recorded separately. Fixed assets are depreciated on a monthly basis. Fixed assets added are not depreciated in the current month when being added but from the following month; fixed assets reduced are still depreciated in the current month when being reduced, and no depreciation is made from the following month. Fixed assets that are not profitable for the Company or no t used temporarily (other than seasonally deactivated) are recognized as idle fixed assets. The estimated life expectancy and depreciation rate of idle fixed assets should be re estimated, and depreciation is directly included in the current profit and loss. 42 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 24 Construction in progress Construction in progress refers to the necessary expenses incurred by the Company for the purchase and construction of fixed assets or investment property before being ready for the expected usable status, including engineering materials costs, labor costs, related taxes and fees, borrowing costs that should be capitalized and indirect costs that should be apportioned. Construction in progress is accounted for separately according to individual projects. After the construction in progress is ready for its intended use, it must be transferred to fixed assets or investment property, whether the final accounting procedures are completed or not. 25 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs refer to interest and other related costs incurred by the Company as a result of borrowings, including interest on borrowings, amortization of discounts or premiums, ancillary expenses, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings. Borrowing costs that can be directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization are capitalized and included in the relevant asset cost. Other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, and are included in the current profit and loss. Assets eligible for capitalization refer to fixed assets, investment property and inventories (only refers to inventories with an acquisition, construction and production process for more than one year) that require a substantial period of acquisition, construction or production activities to get ready for the intended use or sale status. Borrowing costs refer to the interest of borrowings, the amortization of discounts or premiums, auxiliary expenses and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings incurred by the Company. Borrowing costs begin to be capitalized when the following three conditions are all satisfied: (1) Asset expenditure has occurred; (2) Borrowing costs have occurred; The acquisition, construction or production activities necessary to enable the assets to be ready for the (3) intended usable or saleable state have commenced. When an asset satisfied the capitalization conditions is abnormally interrupted during the process of acquisition, construction or production and the interruption period lasts for more than three months, the capitalization of the borrowing costs is suspended and recognized as the current expenses until the acquisition, construction or production of the assets starts again. When an asset satisfied the capitalization conditions is ready for its intended use or sale, the capitalization is stopped and the borrowing costs incurred in the future are included in the current profit and loss. The period of capitalization refers to the period from the time when the borrowing costs start to be capitalized to the point when the capitalization is stopped, and the period in which the borrowing costs are suspended for capitalization is not included. During the period of capitalization, if special borrowings are made for the acquisition, construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, the amount of the interest expenses actually incurred during the current period of the special borrowings, less the amount of interest income earned by depositing unused borrowing funds in a bank or investment income earned by temporary investment, is reco gnized as the amount of capitalization. When a general loan is occupied for the purpose of purchasing, constructing or producing assets satisfied the capitalization conditions, the amount of capitalization is determined according to the weighted average of the accumulated asset expenditure exceeding the special loan portion multiplied by the capitalization rate of the general loan occupied; the capitalization rate is determined based on the weighted average interest rate of general borrowings. 43 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 26 Right-of-use assets The Company initially measures right-of-use assets at cost. Such cost includes: (1) The initial measurement amount of lease liabilities; (2) Lease payments made on or before the commencement date of the lease term (if a lease incentive exists, net of the amount related to the lease incentive already taken); (3) Initial direct costs incurred by the Company; (4) Costs expected to be incurred by the Company to disassemble and remove the leased asset(s), restore the premises where the leased asset(s) is/are located, or restore the leased asset(s) to the condition agreed upon under the terms of the lease (excluding costs incurred to produce inventory). After the commencement date of the lease term, the Company uses the cost model for subsequent measurement of right-of-use assets. If it is reasonably certain that ownership of the leased asset(s) will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the leased asset(s) over its/their remaining service life. If it is not reasonably certain that ownership of the leased asset(s) will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the leased asset(s) over the lease term or the remaining service life of the leased asset(s), whichever is shorter. Right-of-use assets for which depreciation reserves have been accrued are depreciated in future periods at their carrying value net of depreciation reserves, with reference to the above principles. 44 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 27 Intangible assets Intangible assets are recorded at the actual cost at the time of acquisition. The service life of intangible assets is analyzed and judged at the time of acquisition. Intangible assets with a finite service life are amortized on the shortest of the estimated service lives, the beneficial period of the contract and the effective period specified by law from the time when the intangible assets are available for use. The amortization period is as follows: Category Amortization years The shorter of the years of the land use rights and the operating Land use rights years of the Company 10 years or the shorter of service life, beneficiary years and legally Patents and non-patent technologies valid years Other Beneficiary period The Company reviews the service life and amortization method of intangible assets with limited service life at least at the end of each year, and made adjustment if necessary. If an intangible asset is foreseen as unable to bring economic benefits to the Company, it is regarded as an intangible asset with an indefinite service life, which will be reviewed in each accounting period. If evidence indicates that the service life of the intangible asset is limited, then it is converted to an intangible asset with limited service life. Intangible assets with indefinite service lives are not amortized. The expenditures of the Company's internal research and development projects are classified into expenditures in the research phase and expenditures in the development phase. Research means an original, planned survey of acquiring and understanding new scientific or technical knowledge. Development means the application of research results or other knowledge to a plan or design to produce new or substantially improved materials, devices, products, etc. prior to commercial production or use. The expenditures in the research phase of the Company's internal research and development projects are included in the current profit and loss when incurred; expenditures in the development phase are recognized as intangible assets only when the following conditions are all satisfied: (1) It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset to enable it to be used or sold; (2) There is intent to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (3) The intangible assets can bring economic benefits; (4) There are sufficient technical, financial and other resources to support the development of the intangible assets as well as ability to use or sell the intangible assets; (5) Expenditures attributable to the development stage of the intangible asset can be measured in a reliable way. If the above conditions cannot be all satisfied, the expenditures are included in the current profit and loss when incurred. 45 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 28 Long-term prepaid expense Long-term prepaid expenses refer to various expenses that the Company has paid and whose period of amortization is more than one year, such as the improvement expenses incurred in renting fixed assets by operating leases. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortized on a straight-line basis within the beneficial period of the expense items. 29 Impairment of long-lived assets The impairment of assets other than inventories, financial assets and deferred income tax assets is determined by the Company as follows: On the balance sheet date, if there is evidence indicating that the asset is idle, there is a use termination plan or the market price drops sharply, or the external environment changes significantly, impairment tests should be conducted. The difference between the recoverable amount of the asset and its book value is recognized as impairment loss and included in the current profit and loss, and corresponding allowance for asset impairment is made. For the goodwill formed by business combination and the intangible assets with indefinite service life, impairment test is carried out every year regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment. The recoverable amount is determined based on the net amount of fair value of assets less the disposal expenses, or the present value of estimated future cash flows of the assets, whichever is lower. The Company estimates the recoverable amount based on the individual assets. If it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual assets, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined based on the asset group to which the asset belongs. After the asset impairment loss is recognized, the depreciation or amortization expense of the impaired assets will be adjusted accordingly in the future period. Once the asset impairment loss is confirmed, it cannot be reversed in the future accounting period. Treatment of goodwill impairment: in the impairment test of goodwill, the book value of goodwill is apportioned to the asset group or asset group portfolio expected to benefit from the synergy of business combination, and the book value of goodwill is apportioned to the relevant asset group or asset group combination in a reasonable way. In the case of impairment test, the asset group or asset group portfolio that does not contain goodwill is tested for impairment first to confirm the corresponding asset impairment loss, and then the asset group or asset group containing goodwill is tested for impairment to confirm the corresponding goodwill impairment loss. 30 Asset transfer with repurchase conditions When the Company sells products or transfers other assets, it signs a product or a transfer asset repurchase agreement with the purchaser, and determines whether the sales commodity satisfies the revenue recognition conditions according to the terms of the agreement. If the after-sales repurchase is a financing transaction, the Company does not recognize the sales revenue when the product or asset is delivered. If the repurchase price is greater than the difference between the sales prices, interest of the difference is accrued on time during the repurchase period, and included in finance costs. 31 Contract liabilities The Company recognizes as contract liabilities the part of the obligation to transfer the goods to the customer due to received or receivable consideration from the customer. 46 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 32 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. (a) Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits include employee wages or salaries, bonus, allowances and subsidies, staff welfare, premiums or contributions on medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, housing funds, union running costs and employee education costs, and short-term paid absences. The employee benefit liabilities are recognized 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. Non-monetary benefits are measured at their fair value. (b) Post-employment benefits The Company 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 Company 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 Company’s defined contribution plans mainly include basic pensions and unemployment insurance. (c) Termination benefits If the Company terminates the labor relationship with an employee before the labor contract expires, or offers compensation for encouraging the employee to accept the redundancies voluntarily, the liabilities arising from compensation for the termination of labor relations with the employee is determined, and also included in the current profit and loss, at the time when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the termination of the labor relationship plan or redundancies proposal, or the time when the cost associated with reorganization involving payment of termination benefits is confirmed, whichever is earlier. (d) Other long-term employee benefits Other long-term employee benefits refer to all employee benefits except short-term employment benefits, post-employment benefits and termination benefits. 47 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 33 Estimated liabilities When the Company is involved in any litigation, debt guarantee, contract loss or reorganization, which is likely in need of future delivery of assets or rendering of services, and the amount of which can be measured in a reliable way, it is recognized as estimated liabilities. (1) Recognition standards for estimated liabilities When an obligation related to the contingent events satisfies all the following conditions, it is recognized by the Company as estimated liabilities: (a) The obligation is the current obligation of the Company; (b) The fulfillment of the obligation is likely to cause economic benefits to flow out of the Company; (c) The amount of the obligation can be measured in a reliable way. (2) Measurement methods for estimated liabilities The estimated liabilities of the Company are initially measured on the basis of the best estimate of the expenditure required to perform the relevant current obligations. When determining the best estimate, the Company considers factors such as risks, uncertainties and time value of money related to contingent events. Where the time value of money has a significant impact, the best estimate is determined by discounting the relevant future cash outflows. The best estimates are handled as follows: In case there is a continuous range (or interval) of required expenditures, within which the possibility of occurrence of various results is the same, the best estimate is determined by the average of the middle value of the range, that is, the average of the upper and lower limits. In case there is no continuous range (or interval) of required expenditures, or there is a continuous range but the possibility of various results in the range is different, if the contingency involves a single item, the best estimate is determined based on the most probable amount; if a contingency involves multiple items, the best estimate is determined based on various possible outcomes and associated probabilities. If all or part of the expenses required by the Company to settle the estimated liabilities are expected to be compensated by a third party, the compensation amount is separately recognized as an asset when it is basically confirmed to be received, and the recognized compensation amount should not exceed the book value of estimated liabilities. 48 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 34 Lease liabilities The Company initially measures lease liabilities at the present value of the lease payments outstanding on the commencement date of the lease term. When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the interest rate implicit in lease as the rate of discount. If the implicit interest rate of the lease cannot be determined, the incremental loan interest rate of the Company shall be used as the discount rate. Lease payments include: The amount of fixed payments, net of amounts related to lease incentives, and the amount of substantive (a) fixed payments; (b) Variable lease payments that depend on indexation or ratio; The exercise price of the purchase option, when applicable, if the Company is reasonably certain that the (c) option will be exercised; (d) The amount required to be paid to exercise the option to terminate the lease if the lease term reflects that the Company will exercise the option to terminate the lease; (e) The estimated amount payable based on the secured residual value provided by the Company. The Company calculates the interest expenses of lease liabilities for each period within the lease term at a fixed rate of discount and includes them in profit or loss for the current period or cost of the related assets. Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities should be included in profit or loss for the current period or cost of the related assets when they are actually incurred. 35 Share-based payments The share-based payments of the Company are mainly equity-settled share-based payments, and only allow to be exercised by employees after the completion of their services in the waiting period. On each balance sheet date in the waiting period, based on the best estimate of the number of vesting equity instruments, the services obtained in the current period are included in the relevant costs or expenses and capital reserve based on the fair value at the grant date of the equity instruments. The fair value of equity instruments is determined by the external appraiser or management based on the binomial distribution method. The best estimate of the vesting equity instrument is determined by the management based on historical statistics on the vesting weights and turnover rates on the balance sheet date. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments granted to employees. In case that the vesting right is available immediately after the grant, it is included in relevant cost or expense based on the fair value of the equity instrument on the grant date, and the capital reserve is increased accordingly. In case that the vesting right is available after the completion of services in the waiting period or satisfaction of stipulated performance conditions, on each balance sheet day during the waiting period, the services acquired in the current period are included into the relevant costs or expenses and capital reserve on the basis of the best estimate of the number of feasible equity instruments and at the fair value of the date on which the equity instruments are granted. No adjustments are made to the identified related costs or expenses or total owner's equity after the vesting date. 49 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 36 Revenue recognition The Company shall recognize the revenue according to the transaction price assigned to the performance obligation when any due performance obligation is fulfilled (namely when the client obtains the control over relevant commodities or services). (1) General principles applied to revenue recognition The Company shall recognize the revenue according to the transaction price assigned to the performance obligation when any due performance obligation is fulfilled (namely when the client obtains the control over relevant commodities or services). Performance Obligation means that, under the contract, the Company promises to transfer commodities or services that can be clearly distinguished to the client. “Obtain the control over relevant commodities or services” refers to the ability to completely dominate the use of commodities and obtain almost all economic benefits. From the contract’s effectiveness date, the Company shall evaluate the contract, recognize each single performance obligation included and determine whether each performance obligation is fulfilled within a certain period or at a time point. When any of the following conditions is met, for performance obligation to be fulfilled within a certain period, the Company shall recognize corresponding revenue within the period as scheduled: While fulfilling the due obligation in the Company, the client obtains and consumes the resulting economic (a) benefit; (b) The client is able to control the commodities under construction during the Company’s fulfillment; (c) Commodities generated from the Company’s fulfillment possess irreplaceable purpose and the Company has the right to charge all fulfilled performance obligations within the whole contract period; otherwise, the Company shall recognize corresponding revenue when the client obtains the control over relevant commodities or services. For any performance obligation with a certain period, the Company shall apply the output method/input method to determine the appropriate fulfillment schedule based on the specific nature of commodities and services. The output method is to determine the fulfillment schedule according to the value of commodities transferred to the client (while the input method is to determine the fulfillment schedule according to the Company’s input to fulfill the performance obligation). If the fulfillment schedule cannot be reasonably determined and the Company’s costs are predicted to be compensated, corresponding revenue shall be recognized based on the specific cost amount until the fulfillment schedule could be reasonably determined. 50 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 36 Revenue recognition (continued) (2) Principles of handling revenues from specific transactions (a) For the contract containing the sales return article: When the client obtains the control over relevant commodities, corresponding revenue shall be recognized according to the consideration amount (excluding the amount predicted to be returned due to sales return) predicted to be duly charged from transferring commodities to the client, and corresponding liabilities shall be recognized based on the amount predicted to be returned due to sales return. Meanwhile, when commodities are sold, the balance through deducting the predicted cost from taking back commodities from the book value of commodities predicted to be returned (including the impairment of value of returned commodities) shall be checked and calculated under “Returned Commodities Cost Receivable”. (b) For the contract containing the quality assurance article: it’s required to evaluate whether the quality assurance involves any separable service except for the promise (to the client) that commodities conform to established standards. If the Company provides additional service, it shall be deemed as a single performance obligation and subject to the accounting treatment according to relevant revenue criteria provisions; otherwise, the quality assurance liability shall be subject to the accounting treatment according to the accounting criteria provisions on Contingency. (c) For the sales contract containing the client’s additional purchase option: the Company shall evaluate whether the option provides the client with any significant right. If any, it shall be deemed as a single performance obligation and the transaction price shall be apportioned to the performance obligation, and corresponding revenues shall be recognized when the client executes the purchase option right and obtains the control over relevant commodities in the future or when the option becomes invalid. If the separable selling price applied to the client’s additional purchase option right cannot be directly observed, it’s required to comprehensively consider the difference in discounts between the client’s execution of option right and the client’s non-execution of option right and analyze the possibility for the client to execute the option right and other relevant information. Then, corresponding reasonable estimate shall be made. (d) The contract licensing the IP right to the client: It’s required to evaluate whether the IP right license constitutes any single performance obligation; if any, it is necessary to determine whether the performance obligation fulfillment is fulfilled within a certain period or at a time point. If any IP right license is granted to the client and royalties are charged based on the client’s actual sales or usage, corresponding revenues shall be recognized at a later time between the following dates: the day when the client’s subsequent selling or usage occurs; the day when the Company fulfills relevant performance obligations. (3) Specific revenue recognition method (a) Product sales contract According to the contract terms, for the selling of products subject to performance obligation fulfillment conditions at a time point and other products, the Company shall recognize the realization of sales revenues when the client obtains the control over relevant commodities or services according to the delivery condition agreed in the sales contract upon signed by the client after commodities are received. (b) Technical service contract If revenues are recognized within a certain period based on the technical service contract, corresponding revenues shall be recognized according to the performance schedule. (c) Royalties income Accounted for according to the time and method of charging as stipulated in the relevant contract or agreement. 51 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 36 Revenue recognition (continued) (3) Specific revenue recognition method (continued) (d) Revenue from photovoltaic power stations a. Centralized power stations: Power stations are combined to the grid. The income will be confirmed based on the documents on power supply provided by the business departments of the Company, after the duration of continuous and trouble-free operation specified by the electric power company is met. b. Distributed power stations: Power stations are combined to the grid. The income will be confirmed based on the documents on settlement provided by the business departments of the Company. 37 Contract costs (1) Contract performance cost For the cost resulting from performing the contract which is not included in other ASBE except the revenue standards and meets the following conditions, the Company shall recognize it as an asset : (a) The cost is directly related to a current or predicted contract, including the direct labor, direct material and manufacturing expenses (or similar expenses), the cost borne by the client and other costs resulting from the contract; (b) The cost adds various resources that can be applied by the Company to fulfill due performance obligations. (c) The cost is predicted to be recovered. The asset shall be presented and reported in inventory or other non-current assets, which depends on whether the amortization period exceeds a normal operating cycle during the initial recognition. (2) Contract acquisition cost If the increment cost resulting from the Company’s acquisition of contract is predicted to be recovered, it shall be recognized as an asset as the contract acquisition cost. Increment Cost refers to the cost which only results from the contract acquisition, like the sales commission. If the amortization period is less than one year, it shall be included in current profit and loss. (3) Contract cost amortization The asset related to the contract cost shall adopt the same basis for the recognition of commodities or services revenues related to the asset, be amortized during the period of fulfilling the performance obligation or according to the fulfillment schedule and be included into current profit and loss. 52 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 37 Contract costs (continued) (4) Impairment of contract costs For the asset related to the contract cost as mentioned above, if the book value is higher than the difference between the residual consideration predicted to be obtained from the Company’s transfer of commodities related to the asset and the cost to be incurred due to such transfer, depreciation reserves shall be calculated and withdrawn for the surplus which shall also be recognized as the asset impairment loss. After the impairment allowances is established, if changes in depreciation factors during previous periods have made the above difference higher than the asset’s book value, it shall be restituted to previously established asset impairment allowances and included in current profit and loss. However, the book value of restituted assets shall not exceed the book value of the asset on the date of restitution without establishing impairment allowances. 38 Government grants (1) Type of change Government grants are transfers of monetary or non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at nil consideration. According to the grants targets stipulated in the relevant government documents, government grants are classified into government grants related to assets and government grants related to income. (2) Recognition of government grants If a government grant is a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is a non-monetary asset, it is measured at fair value. If the fair value cannot be obtained in a reliable way, it is measured at the nominal amount (RMB1). Government grants measured at nominal amounts are recognized directly in the current profits and losses. (3) Accounting treatment Government grants related to assets offset the book value of the underlying assets. If the government grants related to income are used to compensate related costs or losses in the subsequent period, it is recognized as deferred income and included in the current profit and loss or offset costs in the period in which the related costs or losses are recognized; government grants used to compensate costs or losses incurred by the enterprise are directly included in the current profits or losses or offset related costs. For government grants related to the daily activities of the enterprise, the R&D and VAT-related subsidies are included in other income; other government grants offset related costs according to the nature of economic activities. Government grants not related to daily activities of the Company are included in the non-operating income and expenditure. For preferential loans for policy discount, if the government finance department appropriates the discounted funds to the lending bank, the borrowing cost is accounted for according to the principal of the loan and the policy preferential interest rate, with the amount actually received as the entry value of the loan. If the government finance department directly appropriates the interest grant funds to the Company, the grants offset the related borrowing costs. In case that a confirmed government grant is required to be returned, the book value of the asset is adjusted if the book value of relevant assets is offset at the initial recognition; if there is related deferred income, the book balance of deferred income is offset, and the excess is included in the current profit and loss; in case of other circumstances, it is directly included in the current profit and loss. 53 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 39 Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities The income taxes of the Company include current income tax and deferred income tax. Both current income tax and deferred income tax are recognized in the current profit and loss as income tax expense or gain, except for the following: (1) Adjusting goodwill due to income tax arising from business combination; Income tax related to transactions or events directly included in shareholders' equity is included in (2) shareholders’ equity. On the balance sheet date, the Company recognizes the deferred income tax assets or deferred income tax liabilities in accordance with the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences between the book value of assets or liabilities and their tax base. The Company recognizes all taxable temporary differences as deferred tax liabilities except the taxable temporary differences incurred in the following transactions: (1) Initial recognition of goodwill; or initial recognition of assets or liabilities arising from transactions with the following characteristics: the transaction is not a business combination, and does not affect the accounting profits or the amount of taxable income which occurs; (2) For taxable temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and the temporary differences are unlikely to be reversed in the foreseeable future. The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences, subject to the amount of taxable income likely to be obtained to offset the deductible temporary differences, except the deductible temporary differences incurred in the following transactions: The transaction is not a business combination, and does not affect the accounting profits or the amount of (1) taxable income when occurs; (2) The deductible temporary differences related to investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures cannot satisfy all the following: the temporary differences are likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future and are likely to be used for deduction of deductible taxable income for temporary differences in the future. On the balance sheet date, the Company measures the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities according to the tax law based on the applicable tax rate during the period of expectation of recovering the assets or paying off the liabilities, and reflects the income tax impact of the expected recovery of assets or liquidation of liabilities on the balance sheet date. On the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the book value of deferred income tax assets. If it is probable that no sufficient taxable income will be available in the future to offset the benefits of deferred tax assets, the book value of deferred tax assets is written down. When it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available, the amount written-down will be reversed. 54 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 40 Leases (applicable before December 31 2020) (1) Accounting treatment of operating leases (a) The rental fees paid by the Company for the lease of assets are apportioned on a straight-line basis over the entire lease term without deduction of the rent-free period and included in the current expenses. The initial direct costs associated with the lease transactions paid by the Company are included in the current expenses. When the lessor of an asset bears the expenses related to the lease that should be borne by the Company, the Company deducts the part of the expenses from the total rent. The deducted rental expenses are apportioned during the lease term and included in the current expenses. (b) The rental fees charged by the Company for renting out assets are apportioned on a straight-line basis over the entire lease term without deduction of the rent-free period and is recognized as rental income. The initial direct expenses related to lease transactions paid by the Company are included in the current expenses; if the amount is a significant one, it is capitalized and included in the current income in the same period as the lease income is recognized throughout the lease period. When the Company bears the lease-related expenses that should be borne by the lessee, the Company deducts the part of the expenses from the total rental income, and distributes the deducted rental expenses within the lease term. (2) Financial leased assets On the date when lease starts, the Company recognizes the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payment as the book value of the leased asset, whichever is lower, and recognizes the minimum lease payment amount as the book value of the long-term payable, and the difference between the two is recognized as unconfirmed financing expenses. The Company adopts the effective interest rate method to amortize the unrecognized financing expenses during the asset lease period and includes them in financial expenses. (3) Financial leasing assets On the date when the lease starts, the Company recognizes the receivable of the financial lease, the difference between the sum of unsecured residual value and its present value as unrealized financing income, and recognizes the lease income in the future period of the lease. The initial direct costs incurred by the Company in connection with lease transactions are included in the initial measurement of financial lease receivable, and the amount of income recognized during the lease term is reduced. 41 Leases (applicable from January 1, 2021) (continued) From the effectiveness date of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is a lease or includes any lease. If a party to the contract transfers the right allowing the control over the use of one or more assets that have been identified within a certain period, in exchange for a consideration, such contract is a lease or includes a lease. (1) Lease contract split If a contract contains multiple single leases at the same time, the Company will split the contract, and conduct accounting treatment of each single lease respectively. If a contract contains both lease and non-lease parts at the same time, the Company will split the lease and non-lease parts, conduct accounting treatment of the lease part in accordance with the accounting standards governing leases, and conduct accounting treatment of the non-lease part in accordance with other applicable corporate accounting standards. 55 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 41 Leases (applicable from 1 January 2021) (continued) (2) Lease contract combination With regard to two or multiple contracts containing leases concluded by the Company with the same counterparty or its related parties at the same or a similar time, when any of the following conditions is met, the contracts are combined into one contract for accounting treatment: Two or multiple contracts are concluded based on an overall business purpose and constitute a package deal, (a) and if they are not considered as a whole, the overall business purpose cannot be understood. The consideration amount of one contract among the two or multiple contracts depe nds on the pricing or (b) performance of other contracts. (c) The rights to use assets transferred by the two or multiple contracts constitute one single lease. (3) Accounting treatment with the Company as lessee On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company recognises the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the lease, unless it is a simplified short-term lease or low-value asset lease. (a) Short-term leases and low-value asset leases A short-term lease refers to a lease that does not include a purchase option and whose lease term does not exceed 12 months. A low-value asset lease refers to a lease where the value will be low when a single leased asset is a new asset. The Company does not recognize the right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for the following short-term leases and low-value asset leases. In each period within the lease term, the relevant lease payments are included in cost of the related assets or profit or loss for the current period on a strai ghtline basis or according to other systemic and reasonable methods. Item Simplified leased asset type Short-term lease A lease whose lease term does not exceed 12 months from the commencement date of the lease term Low-value asset lease An asset lease with a value of less than RMB40,000 or its foreign currency equivalents The Company recognises the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and low-value asset leases other than those mentioned above. The accounting policies for right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are detailed in Note III, 26 and Note III, (b) 34. 56 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 41 Leases (applicable from January 1, 2021) (continued) (4) Accounting treatment with the Company as lessor (a) Lease classification: The Company classifies leases into finance leases and operating leases at the inception of leases. A finance lease refers to a lease where almost all the risks and rewards, related to the ownership of the leased asset(s), are substantially transferred, regardless of whether the ownership is transferred eventually. An operating lease refers to all leases other than finance leases. Usually, the Company classifies a lease that meets any one or more of the following conditions as a finance lease: 1) Upon expiry of the lease term, the ownership of the leased asset(s) is transferred to the lessee. 2) The lessee has the option to purchase the leased assets. As the agreed purchase price is low enough compared with the fair value of the leased asset(s) at the time the option is expected to be exercised, it can be reasonably determined at the inception of the lease that the lessee will exercise the option. 3) Although the ownership of the asset(s) is not transferred, the lease term accounts for the majority of the service life of the leased asset(s). 4) At the inception of the lease, the present value of the lease payments receivable is almost equal to the fair value of the leased asset(s). 5) The leased asset(s) is/are special in nature and can be only used by the lessee, unless there is a large alteration. The Company may also classify a lease that falls under any one or more of the following circumstances as a finance lease: 1) If the lessee cancels the lease, losses to the lessor caused by the cancellation will be borne by the lessee. 2) Gains or losses arising from fluctuations in the fair value of the residual value of the leased asset(s) are borne by the lessee. 3) The lessee is able to renew the lease with a rental far lower than the market level to the next term. (b) Accounting treatment of finance leases On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company recognises the finance lease receivables for the finance lease and derecognises the leased asset(s) of the finance lease. In the initial measurement of finance lease receivables, the sum of the unsecured residual value and the present value of the lease payments receivable not yet received on the commencement date of the lease term discounted at the interest rate implicit in lease is the entry value of the finance lease receivables. Lease payments receivable include: 1) The amount of fixed payments, net of amounts related to lease incentives, and the amount of substantive fixed payments; 2) Variable lease payments that depend on indexation or ratios; 3) The exercise price of the purchase option, when applicable, if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the purchase option; 4) The amount required to be paid by the lessee to exercise the option to terminate the lease if the lease term reflects that the lessee will exercise the option to terminate the lease; 5) Secured residual value provided to the lessor by the lessee, a party related to the lessee, or an independent third party that has the financial ability to perform the security provision obligation. The received variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease are included in profit or loss for the current period when they are actually incurred. 57 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 41 Leases (applicable from January 1, 2021) (continued) (4) Accounting treatment with the Company as lessor (continued) (c) Accounting treatment of operating leases For each period of the lease term, the Company adopts the straight-line method or other systematic and reasonable methods to recognize the lease receipts of the operating lease as rental income; the Company capitalizes the initial direct expenses incurred in connection with the operating lease, amortizes them over the lease term on the same basis as that for the recognition of the rental income, and includes them in the current profit and loss by stage; the Company includes the variable lease payments, obtained in connection with the operating lease that are not included in the lease receipts, in the current profit and loss when actually incurred. (5) Sale and leaseback (a) The Company as seller and lessee If the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is a sale, the Company will measure the right -of-use assets formed by the sale and leaseback based on the portion of the original asset’s carrying value that is related to the use right acquired by the leaseback, and recognise related gains or losses only for the right transferred to the lessor. If the fair value of the sales consideration is different from the fair value of the asset, or if the lessor does not charge the rent at the market price, the Company will conduct accounting treatment with the sales consideration amount below the market price as the prepaid rent, or the amount above the market price as the additional financing provided by the lessor to the lessee; at the same time, the relevant sales gains or losses will be adjusted based on the fair value. If the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is not a sale, the Company will continue to recognise the transferred asset and at the same time recognise a financial liability equivalent to the transfer income. (b) The Company as buyer and lessor If the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is a sale, the Company will conduct corresponding accounting treatment for asset purchase and apply the accounting standards governing leases to the accounting treatment of the asset lease. If the fair value of the sales consideration is different from the fair value of the asset, or if the Company does not charge the rent at the market price, the Company will conduct accounting treatment with the sales consideration amount below the market price as the pre-collected rent, or the amount above the market price as the additional financing provided by the Company to the lessee; at the same time, the rental receipt will be adjusted based on the market price. If the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is not a sale, the Company will recognise a financial asset equivalent to the transfer income. 42 Related parties If one party controls, commonly controls or exerts a significant influence on the other party, and two or more parties are under the control, common control or significant influence of the other party, they constitute related parties. 58 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 43 Discontinued operations The Company recognizes a component disposed of or classified as a component that can be separately distinguished from the category held for sale and satisfies any of the following as a component of discontinued operations: (1) The component represents an independent major business or a separate major business area; (2) This component is part of a related plan to dispose of an independent major business or a separate major operating area; (3) This component is a subsidiary that is acquired for resale. Operating profit and loss, such as impairment losses for discontinued operations and the amount reversed, and disposal profit and loss are presented in the income statement as profit and loss of discontinued operations. 44 Changes to major accounting policies and estimates (1) Change of accounting policy (a) Impact of the adoption of the new lease standards on the Company From January 1, 2021, the Company started to adopt the Corporate Accounting Standards No. 21-Leases revised in 2018 by the Ministry of Finance. For details of the changed accounting policies, please refer to Item 41 in Note III to the financial statements in this report. Therefore, the bridging provisions of the Accounting Standards are applicable to only the above -mentioned contracts that are identified as leases under the original accounting standards. Moreover, regarding the above-mentioned lease contracts, the Company chose to adopt a simplified retrospective application method for the bridging accounting treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 28 - Changes in Accounting Policies and Estimates, and Correction of Errors, that is, to adjust the amounts of retained earnings and other relevant items in the financial statements at the beginning of the year when the Accounting Standards were first adopted, without adjusting the information of comparable periods. The Company’s accounting policy for low-value asset leases is not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. According to the bridging provisions of the new accounting standards, the accounting treatment of the Company’s low-value asset leases before the date of first adoption will be conducted in accordance with the new accounting standards from the date of first adoption, and no retrospective adjustment will be made to the low-value asset leases. The impact of the implementation of the new Lease Standards on the beginning balances of the relevant items of the Balance Sheet are shown as follows: Carrying amount as per Effect of remeasurement Carrying amount as per Item the former lease standard Amount of change the revised lease standard Fixed assets 92,829,902 (1,338,471) 91,491,431 Right-of-use assets - 2,105,059 2,105,059 Long-term deferred 2,536,670 (437,301) 2,099,369 expenses Current portion of non-current liabilities 13,429,670 43,844 13,473,514 due within a one-year period Lease liabilities - 1,112,141 1,112,141 Long-term payables 1,280,300 (826,698) 453,602 59 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 44 Changes to major accounting policies and estimates (continued) (1) Changes to accounting policies (continued) Impact of the adoption of Interpretation to Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 on the (b) Company On January 26, 2021, the Ministry of Finance issued the Interpretation to Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 (CK [2021] No. 1, hereinafter referred to as “Interpretation No. 14”), which will come into force from January 26, 2021 (hereinafter referred to as the “adoption date”).

(formerly known as "Samsung Suzhou LCD Co. Ltd." with a cash payment of RMB4,757,727 thousand. At the date of acquisition, the Group actually obtained 70% equity of Samsung Suzhou LCD Co. Ltd., which was included in the consolidated financial statements. In September 2021, the Group purchased 30% equity of Samsung Suzhou LCD Co. Ltd. and completed 100% holdings of the company. This subsidiary is primarily engaged in semiconductor display and materials. Cash consideration 4,757,727 Fair value of previous euity-holdings at acquisition date 792,955 Less: Share of fair value of identifiable net assets acquired 5,064,079 Difference of lower goodwill / merger cost and higher share of fair value of identifiable net assets acquired 486,603 ② The assets and liabilities as at the acquisition date are as follows: Fair value at acquisition date Carrying value at acquisition date Monetary assets 2,152,933 2,152,933 Accounts receivable 1,207,714 1,207,714 3,533,370 4,478,055 Non-current assets Accounts payable 814,870 814,870 Net assets 7,234,398 6,429,154 Less: non-controlling interests 2,170,319 1,928,746 Net assets acquired 5,064,079 4,500,408 Assets evaluated as appreciated assets were mainly buildings and constructions and intangible assets-land use rights. The ③ evaluation methods of the above main assets are as follows: a Buildings are mainly appraised by the replacement method: According to construction project materials and settlement data, the full replacement value of a building (structure) is calculated based on the project volume of the building, taking into account the current quota standard, market price level, stipulated construction fees, and lending rate, and the newness rate is determined comprehensively based on the service life of the building and the on-site survey of the building, before the net appraisal value of the building is calculated; b The methods for land use right appraisal include the market approach and the method of benchmark land price coefficient modification: The market approach is a method used to estimate the price of a piece of land at the time of appraisal by comparing the land being valued with similar instances of land that has been traded recently according to the principle of substitution, and making adjustments for the differences between them, such as transaction situation, time, region and individual factors, based on the known prices of the latter. The idea behind the method of benchmark land price coefficient modification is that the regional and other conditions of the land being valued are compared with the average conditions of the region in which it is located according to the principle of substitution, using appraisal results such as the urban benchmark land price and the benchmark land price modification coefficient table, and then corresponding modification coefficients are selected from the modification coefficient table to modify the benchmark land price, so as to determine the price of the land being valued on the valuation date. 126 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ VI Changes to Consolidation Scope (Continued) 1 Newly consolidated entities for current period (continued) (2) Acquisition of 100% equity interests in Suzhou China Star Optoelectronics Display Co., Ltd. ① The cost of acquisition and goodwill were recognized as follows: The Group acquired on April 1, 2021 (the date of acquisition) 100% equity interest in Suzhou China Star Optoelectronics Display Co., Ltd.

The evaluation methods of the above main assets are as follows: a The primary assessment methods for buildings include the market comparison approach, the income capitalization approach and the replacement cost approach. In terms of the market comparison approach, the subject property is compared with similar real estate transaction cases that have happened recently or will happen soon, transaction conditions, time of price formation, regional factors (external conditions of the real estate), and individual factors (own conditions of the real estate). The reasonable market price most possible for the subject property is calculated after necessary correction of the known prices of similar real estate transaction cases that have happened recently or will happen soon. With respect to the income capitalizat ion approach, first, the future normal net earnings of the subject property are estimated, when the value of the subject property is calculated. Then, a suitable capitalization rate is selected and discounted to the valuation date for summation to estimate the value of the subject property. In regard to the replacement cost approach, the basic formula is: Full replacement value of the building x newness rate = value of the subject property. b Machinery and equipment are valued mainly by the replacement method based on market prices, combined with the characteristics of the machinery and equipment being valued and the information collected; c The full replacement value of electronic equipment is determined based on its tax-exclusive purchase prices according to local market information and recent market price data such as those provided by Zhongguancun Online; d The main assessment methods for the right to use land are the market comparison approach and the integrated evaluation of the housing and land of the main building. For the market comparison approach, the land to be evaluated and similar cases of land transactions that have occurred recently are compared in line with the substitution principle, when the price of the land to be evaluated is calculated. Then, the price of the land to be evaluated on the valuation date is calculated, after the known price of the latter is corrected by reference with the transaction situation, time, region, and individual factors of the land. S. de R.L. de C.V. has been reflected in the valuation of the buildings as the ownership has been valued based on the market value determined by the integrated evaluation of housing and land; e The primary assessment method for technological assets like patents, know-how, and software copyright is the income approach. For this method, the expected future earnings of such technological assets are calculated and discounted to the present value at a suitable discount rate. Then, the value of such technological assets is calculated by summation. 128 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ VI .

Based on such purpose, the Company has established various risk management policies to recognize and analyze possible risks to be encountered by the Company, set an appropriate risk acceptable level and designed corresponding internal control procedures so as to control the Company’s risk level. In addition, the Company will regularly review these risk management policies and relevant internal control system in order to adapt to the market or handle various changes in the Company’s operating activities. Meanwhile, the Company’s internal audit department will also regularly or randomly check whether the implementation of internal control system conforms to relevant risk management policies. In fact, the Company has applied proper diversified investment and business portfolio to disperse various financial instrument risks and worked out corresponding risk management policies to reduce the risk of concentrating on one single industry, specific region or specific counterpart. Main risks caused by the Company’s financial instruments include the credit risk, the liquidity risk and the market risk (including the foreign exchange risk and the interest rate risk). (1) Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss caused by any party of financial instruments to another party due to the failure in fulfilling performance obligations. The Group controls the credit risk based on the specific group classification, and credit risk mainly results from bank deposit, due from central bank, bills receivable, account receivable, issued loan and monies advanced and other receivables. The Group’s bank deposits and due from central bank are mainly deposited in stated-owned banks and other large and medium-sized listed banks. The Group considers no significant credit risk existed and no significant loss will be caused by the counterpart’s breach of contract. For notes receivable, accounts receivable, loans and advances to customers and other receivables, the Group has established relevant policies to control the credit risk exposure, and will evaluate the client’s credit qualification and determine corresponding credit period based on the client’s financial status, the possibility of obtaining guarantees from the third party, relevant credit records and other factors (like the current market situation). In the meantime, the Group will regularly monitor the client's credit records. For any client with unfavorable credit records, the Group will issue written reminders, shorten the credit period or cancel the credit period so as to keep the Group's overall credit risk controllable. As of December 31, 2021, no significant guarantee or other credit enhancements held due to the debtor mortgage was found in the Group. (2) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk refers to the risk of capital shortage the Company encounters when the Company is fulfilling the obligation of settlement in the form of cash or other financial assets. Various subsidiaries under the Group shall be responsible for predicting their own cash flow. The financial department of the headquarters shall firstly summarize predictions on the cash flow of various subsidiaries and then continuously monitor the short-term and long-term fund demand at the Group's level so as to maintain sufficient cash reserves and negotiable securities that can be realized at any time; meanwhile, special efforts shall also be made to continuously monitor whether provisions stated in the loan agreement are observed and to make major financial institutions promise to provide sufficient reserve funds so as to satisfy short-term and long-term capital demand. 137 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ VIII Risks Related to Financial Instruments (Continued) (3) Market risk (a) Foreign exchange risk The Group has carried out various economic activities around the world including manufacturing, selling, investment and financing etc., and corresponding interest rate fluctuation risks exist in the Group’s foreign currency assets and liabilities and future foreign currency transactions. The Group always regards "Locking the Cost and Avoiding Possible Risks" as the foreign currency risk management goal. Through the natural hedging of settlement currency, matching with the foreign currency liabilities, signing simple derivative products closely related to the owner's operation and meeting corresponding hedge accounting treatment requirements and applying other management methods, the foreign currency risk exposure can be controlled within a reasonable scope and the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Group's overall profit and loss will be reduced. On December 31, foreign-currency asset and liability items with significant exposure to exchange risk were mainly denominated in US dollars. After management, the total risk exposure of the US dollar-denominated items had a net asset exposure of USD56,924 thousand, equivalent to RMB362,932 thousand based on the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The differences arising from the translation of foreign currency financial statements were not included. The Group applies the following exchange rate of USD against RMB: Exchange rate at Average exchange rate period-end 2021 December 31, 2021 USD/RMB 6.4474 6.3757 Provided that other risk variables remained unchanged except for the exchange rate, a 5% depreciation/appreciation in RMB as a result of the changes in the exchange rate of RMB against USD would cause an increase/decrease of RMB18,147 thousand in shareholder equity and net profit respectively of the Group on December 31. The above-mentioned sensitivity analysis is made based on the assumption that the exchange rate changes on the balance sheet date, and financial instruments held by the Group on the balance sheet date exposed to the exchange risk are re-calculated based on the changed exchange rate. The above analysis does not include differences arising from the translation of foreign currency financial statements. (b) Interest risk The Group’s interest rate risk mainly results from interest-bearing bank borrowings adopting floating interest rates, and the Group determined the proportion of fixed interest rates and floating interest rates based on the market environment and its risk tolerance. Up until December 31, 2021, the Group’s liabilities with floating interest rates accounted for 75.60% of its total interest-bearing liabilities. And, the Group will continuously monitor the interest rates and make corresponding adjustments according to the specific market changes so as to avoid interest rate risk. 138 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ IX. Classification of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Fair value of financial instruments and levels 1 Fair value is divided into the following levels in measurement and disclosure: Level 1 refers to the (unadjusted) quotation of the same type of assets or liabilities on the active market; and the Company mainly adopts the closing price as the value of a financial asset. Financial instruments of level 1 mainly include exchange listed stocks and bonds. Level 2 refers to the directly or indirectly observable input of a financial asset or liability that does not belong to level 1. Level 3 refers to the input of a financial asset or liability determined based on variables other than the observable market data (non-observable input). 2 Basis for determining the market value of items measured at continuous level 1 fair value The Company adopts the active market quotation as the fair value of a level 1 financial asset. 3 Items measured at continuous level 2 fair value adopt the following valuation techniques and parameters: The Company’s receivables financing was bank acceptance notes and trade acceptance notes, of which the market prices were determined based on the transfer or discounted amounts. Derivative financial assets and liabilities are multiple IRS and CCS signed between the Group and financial institutions. The Company adopts the quotations provided by the financial institution in valuation. Items measured at continuous level 3 fair value adopt the following valuation techniques and parameters 4 (nature and quantity): Other non-current financial assets measured at continuous level 3 fair value are mainly unlisted equity investments held by the Company. In measuring the fair value, the Company mainly adopts the valuation technique of comparison with listed companies, taking into account the price of similar securities and liquidity discount. Held-for-trading financial assets measured at continuous level 3 fair value are mainly wealth management products held by the Company. In valuation of the fair value, the Company adopts the method of discounting future cash flows based on the agreed expected yield rate. 139 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ IX Classification of Financial Instruments and Fair Value (Continued) 5 Financial instruments measured in three levels of fair value Financial assets Item Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Held-for-trading financial assets (see 926,094 6,607,461 67,701 7,601,256 Note V, 2) Derivative financial assets (see Note V, - 70,929 - 70,929 3) Receivables financing (see Note V, 6) - 2,217,639 - 2,217,639 Investments in other equity instruments 109,011 - 818,308 927,319 (see Note V, 18) Other non-current financial assets (see - 924,066 1,779,972 2,704,038 Note V, 19) Total assets continuously measured at 1,035,105 9,820,095 2,665,981 13,521,181 fair value Financial liabilities Item Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Held-for-trading financial liabilities (see Note V, 33) 256,592 493,141 175,302 925,035 Derivative financial liabilities (see Note - 22,205 - 22,205 V, 34) Total liabilities continuously measured at fair value 256,592 515,346 175,302 947,240 140 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 ___________(RMB’000)_____________ X Related Parties and Related-Party Transactions 1 Actual controller and its acting-in-concert parties Explanation of The Company’s Absence of Controlling Shareholders Being acting-in-concert parties upon the signing of the Agreement on Acting in Concert, Mr. Li Dongsheng and Ningbo JiutianLiancheng Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) (hereinafter referred to as “JiutianLiancheng”) are the biggest shareholders of the Company with a total of 1,158.5994 million shares.
