                        Part III Management Discussion and Analysis

I Industry Overview for the Reporting Period

1. Status of the Baijiu Industry
Since the beginning of the 21st century, China's baijiu industry has experienced three development stages. Before 2012, with rapid
economic growth, the income of urban and rural residents rose fast, and the demand for baijiu continued to increase, while
production and sales of baijiu continuously expanded at a fast pace. As a result, the baijiu industry witnessed booming supply and
demand. During that period, national baijiu brands and local regional renowned baijiu enterprises achieved rapid development. In the
context of the rise in both the demand and price of baijiu, the sales income and total profits of baijiu enterprises increased quickly.
From the second half of 2012 to 2016, China's economy once again entered a period of adjustment, as the Chinese government
introduced a string of policies to restrict the spending on official overseas visits, official vehicles and official hospitality, such as the
"Eight-point Decision" and "Six Prohibitions", which include restrictions on the consumption of high-end alcohol with public funds.
Consumption scenarios such as commercial consumption and government consumption were limited, leading to a drop in consumer
demand in a short time. Moreover, baijiu prices were under huge pressure. China's baijiu industry entered a period of profound
adjustment. After 2012, both the output growth and income growth of China's baijiu industry slowed down.
The baijiu industry began to recover in the second half of 2016, with a rise in consumption demand by end-users, propelling the
growth of the overall income and profits of the industry. Since 2017, the overall demand and price of baijiu have increased, and the
recovery of mid- and high-end baijiu has picked up. In the future, benefiting from the consumption upgrade and the change of
consumption concept, the growth of sub-high-end baijiu will be the key driver for the development of the baijiu industry.Baijiu
enterprises need to fully grasp the great opportunities from the extensive consumption upgrade and strive to better meet the
consumption needs of the market through quality improvement, market segmentation and product innovation and other means, so as
to advance the transformation and upgrade of the product structure.
According to data released by the China Alcoholic Drinks Association, in 2023, the national alcoholic beverage industry achieved a
total production output of 61.31 million kilolitres, marking a year-on-year increase of 1.1%. Within this, the baijiu sector produced
6.29 million kilolitres, experiencing a decline of 5.1% compared to the previous year; however, it generated sales revenue of
RMB756.3 billion, an increase of 9.7%, and realised a total profit of RMB232.8 billion, an increase of 7.5%. Despite a reduction in
production, the baijiu industry in China continued to see growth in revenue and profits, with competition in the high-end market
expected to intensify further.
2. Position of the Company in the Industry
China has a long history of baijiu. There are a large number of baijiu production enterprises in the country, but the regional
distribution of baijiu consumers is particularly evident. The baijiu industry is characterized by full competition, with a high degree of
marketization. The market competition is fierce, and the industry adjustments are constantly deepening. In the national market, the
competitive edges of the enterprises come from their brand influence, product style and marketing & operation models. In a single
regional market, the competitive strengths of the enterprises depend on their brand influence in the region, the recognition of the
companies by regional consumers and comprehensive marketing capacity.
As one of China’s traditional top eight liquor brands, the Company is the first listed baijiu company with both A and B stocks. It is
located in Bozhou City, Anhui Province in China, the hometown of historic figures Cao Cao and Hua Tuo, as well as one of the
world’s top 10 liquor-producing areas. No changes have occurred to the main business of the Company in the Reporting Period. As
the main product of the Company, the Gujing spirit originated as a “JiuYunChun Spirit”, together with its making secrets, being
presented as a hometown specialty by Cao Cao, a famous warlord in China’s history, to Emperor Han Xiandi (name: Liu Xie) in A.D.

                                                               ~ 11 ~
                                                                                                                        Annual Report 2023


196, and was continually presented to the royal house since then. With crystalline liquid, rich aroma, a fine flavor and a lingering
aftertaste, the Gujing spirit has helped the Company win four national baijiu golden awards, a golden award at the 13th SIAL Paris,
the title of China’s “Geographical Indication Product”, the recognition as a “Key Cultural Relics Site under the State Protection”, the
recognition with a “National Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Project”, a Quality Award from the Anhui provincial
government, a title of “National Quality Benchmark”, among other honors.
In April 2016, Gujing Distillery signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Huanghelou Liquor Co., Ltd., opening a new era of
cooperation in China's famous liquor industry. Yellow Crane Tower Baijiu is the only famous Chinese liquor in Hubei. Its unique
style is "soft, mellow, elegant and cool, and has a long lingering fragrance". It won the two China gold medal in baijiu appreciation in
1984 and 1989. At present, Huanghelou liquor industry has three bases: Wuhan, Xianning and Suizhou. Among them, Huanghelou
Liquor Culture Expo Park in Wuhan base has been approved as national AAA scenic spot, and Huanghelou forest wine town in
Xianning base has been approved as national AAAA scenic spot.
In January 2021, Gujing Distillery and Mingguang signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The unique mung bean flavor adds to
the famous liquor family of Gu Jing. The primary products of Mingguang Distillery include Mingguang Jianiang, Mingguang Daqu,
Mingguang Youye, Mingguang Tequ, and 53% vol Mingluye. In December 2021, the Old Mingguang Brewing Technique was
selected for the sixth batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage list.

IV Analysis of Core Businesses

1. Overview

2023 marked the inaugural year of implementing the guiding principles of the 20th CPC National Congress on all fronts, a truly
extraordinary year and a pivotal one for the Company as it crossed the RMB20 billion revenue threshold. Guided by Xi Jinping
Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the Company diligently implemented the guiding principles of the
20th CPC National Congress and the party congresses at provincial and municipal levels. We fully embraced the new development
philosophy, focused on the annual targets, adhered to long-termism, pursuit of excellence, and commitment to quality, firmly grasped
the primary task of high-quality development, and promoted steady progress, quality enhancement, and efficiency in all areas of
operation, successfully achieving the goals set for 2023 and smoothly surpassing the RMB20 billion revenue mark.
For 2023, the Company recorded operating revenue of RMB20.254 billion, up 21.18% compared to the prior year; a net profit
attributable to the Company as the parent of RMB4.589 billion, increasing 46.01% from the year earlier; and earnings per share of
RMB8.68, 45.88% higher than last year.
The overall operating performance of the Company in the Reporting Period:
(I) The Company strove for more influential "brands" year-on-year
The Company guided by the "Brand Revival Project", strengthened digital marketing, consumer cultivation, and resource integration,
and deepened the integrated marketing system construction involving Gujing, Mingguang, and Yellow Crane Tower. Moreover, with
adherence to the communication strategy of "striving for influential brands, spiking hard from a high position and concentrating
resources", the Company innovated in communication methods, and continually built up high-speed rail and Spring Festival Gala IP.
The baijiu culture embarked on a global tour, and at the 15th "Hua Zun Cup" China liquor brand value contest, the brand value of
"Gujinggong" reached a new high of RMB293.102 billion.
(II) The Company strengthened quality management and steadily improved in product quality
The Company strictly implemented production processes and continuously optimised brewing techniques. Lean production was
further advanced, and supply chain efficiency was enhanced. Scientific scheduling and efficient collaboration continued to optimise
key efficiency indicators.
(III) The Company focused on scientific research and advanced the deep operation of research platforms
The Company deepened cooperation and exchanges, and reaped significant achievements in the construction of scientific research
platforms. It coordinated the advancement of the China Baijiu Health Research Institute, the Gujing Distillery Original Vintage Grain
Research Institute, and the Gujing Distillery Original Vintage Quality Research Institute, focusing on projects related to baijiu health,
brewing grains, and quality, thus enhancing the application of research and development outcomes. The Company was awarded the
"The First Prize of the 2020 Science and Technology Award by the China National Food Industry Association", received one Second
Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress from Anhui Province and was granted 38 patents.
(IV) The Company advanced innovative models and deepened digital construction of Gujing
The Company has established a new digital model for Gujing, achieving significant results in digital infrastructure, data resource
systems, platform capabilities, contextual applications, and security measures, thereby enhancing the vigour of intelligent digital
operations. The development of the Gujing data middleware has successfully broken data silos, activated data value, and supported

                                                             ~ 15 ~
                                                                                                                    Annual Report 2023


scientific decision-making. The construction of an industrial Internet of Things platform has placed smart factories and digital
workshops on the fast track. Guided by the lighthouse factory model, the MES system has been developed to promote the integration
of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT), accelerating the transformation towards intelligent manufacturing.
(V) The Company focused on building a premier enterprise, and unleashed new management dynamics
The Company has deepened the three-year action of the reform of state-owned enterprises, ensuring the implementation of reform
measures for mechanisms and systems. It has intensified the competition for management positions, the elimination of the least
competent personnel, and continuously improved the rotation and secondment of management staff, further activating the potential of
Gujing talent. The internal control system has been further refined, firmly establishing safety responsibilities, and achieving the "four
zeros" target in safe production.
(VI) The Company focused on enhancing the guidance of Party building, demonstrating a new look for the Company
The Company has intensively studied, propagated, and implemented the guiding principles of the 20th CPC National Congress on all
fronts, fully embracing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and deepened themed
education. We have continued to emphasise the leading role of Party building, persistently improved our style of work, and tightened
up on ideological work.
(VII) In the Reporting Period, the Company was still under pressure and had deficiencies as follows.
(1) The industry is experiencing accelerated differentiation and transformation, requiring further enhancement in product capabilities,
brand strength, and channel influence.
(2) The internal management system of the enterprise is not sufficiently efficient for its scale of development, necessitating further
activation of internal dynamics.

XI Prospects

(I) Development Prospect of the Industry the Company is in
1.The baijiu growth logic has been adjusted with slowing consumption upgrades
From the perspective of consumption scenarios, the most distinct trend in 2023 was the booming banquet sector contrasted with
weaker business-related consumption, which led to a temporary shift in the structure of baijiu consumption. The year 2024 is set to
be a pivotal starting year for the gradual recovery of the baijiu industry. The growth logic of the past decade has been driven by
consumption upgrades, resulting in price increases and a shift towards higher-end products, a phenomenon that saw many companies
experiencing a "volume decrease, price increase, continuous ascent". However, with increasing economic uncertainty, more rational
consumption, reduced government and business spending, demographic aging, and declining birth rates, the Chinese liquor industry
is transitioning from a "price increase logic" to a "comprehensive competition logic".
2. The industry concentration continues to increase while the market segmentation intensifies
Looking at the competitive landscape of the industry, concentration is continuously increasing, showing a "dual concentration trend"
towards leading baijiu brands and strong regional brands. In 2024, the baijiu industry is expected to continue the trend of "the strong
get stronger, the weak decline". Key production areas, leading companies, and renowned brands will further consolidate their market
positions. Additionally, the differentiation among companies will persist, with baijiu enterprises that possess competitive advantages
and innovation capabilities encountering more development opportunities. Under the dual concentration trend, it is crucial for brands
to elevate their profile while also grounding their marketing efforts. Deep market penetration to achieve compressive and substitutive
growth will become a core strategy.
3. Brand enhancement has accelerated the quality expression
The trend towards brand-oriented development in the baijiu industry has resulted in an increasing concentration within the sector, a
testament to the growing influence and enhancement of leading brands. Shifting from purchasing "products" to "values", baijiu
companies must attract consumers by enhancing brand added value. The significance of brand factors in market competition is
growing, with high-potential brand development expected to accelerate. Quality is the foundation of a brand, yet historically, baijiu
branding has largely been shaped by history, culture, and accolades. In today's competitive environment, consumers place greater
emphasis on product quality, thus enhancing the importance of quality expression in market competitiveness.
4. Digitisation drives marketing innovations
The introduction of digital tools has made liquor marketing more dynamic, with digital channel marketing increasingly becoming a
means for liquor companies to reinforce their strengths. Companies are diversifying their marketing strategies, developing digital
systems, and introducing mechanisms like QR code red packets to boost sales and bottle opening rates, thereby enhancing cost
efficiency. Utilizing digital platforms allows for precise targeting of desired audiences, boosting promotional impacts. Strengthening
market monitoring and implementing "multi-code integration", digital platforms can track product distribution, mitigate the risks of
product diversion, and monitor stock changes, leading to more precise and market-oriented marketing rhythms.
(II) Development Strategy of the Company
1. Firmly boost "Strategy 5.0, Five-Star Operation” Strategy
Comprehensively fulfill Strategy 5.0 and have the "User-Centered" thought fully and deeply implemented in the Company. Solidly
create the "Five-Star Operation", enhance competitive force, improve quality and efficiency, optimize services and promote healthy
and efficient operation of the enterprise.
2. Firmly boost reform and innovation strategy
Deeply boost marketing innovation, technological innovation and mechanism innovation and generate endogenous power of the
enterprise.
3. Firmly create “Talent Highland” strategy

                                                            ~ 37 ~

Intensify talent recruitment and attraction and establish flexible talent attraction and wisdom experience borrowing mechanism.
Innovate talent training mode and promote independent cultivation & development and absorption & attraction simultaneously.
(III) Operating Revenue Plan of the Company in 2024
In 2024, the Company plans to achieve the operating revenue of RMB24.45 billion, rising 20.72% compared with that of last year;
and achieve a total profit of RMB7.95 billion, rising 25.55% compared with that of last year.
(IV) Operating Risk of the Company
1. The strengthened concentration and intensified polarisation in the baijiu industry, leading to highly competitive conditions;
2. The more complex, severe and uncertain external environment.
(V) Operating Measures
1. Brand Development
We will continue to focus on mainstream media while strengthening new media platforms to enhance synergistic effects in our
promotions. Efforts will be made to enhance our CCTV and satellite TV Spring Festival IP, as well as high-speed rail IP, include
deepening the quality expression and cultural content of strong flavour baijiu. Leveraging live streaming and short video platforms,
the Company aims to continually invigorate our brand, increasing our presence in e-commerce, factory tours, and experience stores
through multi-channel traffic driving, creating synergy between online and offline efforts to expand both the reach and effectiveness
of our initiatives.
2. Marketing
The Company will maintain the strategy of aiming high, anchoring on a "nationwide and sub-high-end" approach, and continue to
deepen the "Three Ones Project", optimizing our product and customer structures. We will coordinate the advancement of both
domestic and international markets. Domestically, we will accelerate our national expansion, strengthen provincial markets, speed up
inter-provincial reach, and refine key markets. Internationally, we will capitalise on the "Belt and Road" initiative to fully launch
global partnerships and identify optimal agents, continuing to target the sub-high-end consumer segment with our strategic focus on
"Gu 20".
3. Production Management
We will progress our wine storage projects and expedite key initiatives, enhancing our capabilities for automated baijiu production
and improving our capacity for production reserves, bottling operations, and related infrastructure. We will bolster our quality
initiatives and establish a distinctive "Grand Quality Control" system specific to Gujing Distillery. Horizontal management will be
strengthened to oversee the entire production process from grain to fragrance, while vertical management will be reinforced from the
ground up to solidify the responsibility of quality management staff at all levels, ensuring comprehensive, gap-free quality control.
Centring on "three products", "transparent factory", and "four research institutes", we will continue to refine our quality expression,
converting technical terminology into more accessible language, and advancing the health, flavour, quality, and cultural aspects of
Gujing Distillery.
4. Engineering Construction
We will accelerate the progression of the Intelligent Park project, ensuring the completion of new workshops that are both intelligent
and automated. This initiative will significantly enhance our production capacity, quality, and efficiency.
5. Informatisation Construction
We will hasten our efforts in advancing the "Digital Engineering" initiative to bolster our capabilities in digital management. This
will include deepening the integration of digital technologies with production and manufacturing processes. We will also intensify
our digital marketing efforts to enrich user experiences and optimise our digital production models. The deployment of the
Manufacturing Execution System (MES) will further facilitate the integration of IT and Operational Technology (OT), merging data
resources and automation benefits to refine production processes, boost efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure that digital advances
significantly enhance the quality of our products.
6. Safety and Environmental Protection
We will comprehensively enforce a strict safety responsibility system and enhance fire management to fortify our safety defences.
We will intensify source control and process management of pollutants, aiming to further reduce emissions and promote the recycling
of waste. We will continue to advance our energy-saving and environmental protection projects, including the implementation of

photovoltaic projects, research into energy storage applications, bilateral green energy trading, and balanced energy and water usage.
We will also meticulously coordinate and enhance our top-level energy-saving management planning and dual-carbon
implementation strategies.
7. Internal Management
We will strengthen our innovative talent incentive mechanisms and consolidate the outcomes of the three-year action plan for
state-owned enterprise reform. We will advance reforms in "tenure systems", "performance wagering", "internal marketisation", and
"independent legal entity" frameworks. By employing more flexible staffing and incentive mechanisms, we aim to further unleash
potential, revitalise our workforce, and significantly boost our core competitiveness.
8. Corporate Culture Construction
We will enhance our political framework by deeply studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese
Characteristics for a New Era, and comprehensively embracing the guiding principles of the 20th CPC National Congress. Supported
by the Gujing Distillery Original Vintage Cultural Research Institute, we will actively explore and disseminate China's excellent
traditional culture, continuously implementing the cultural contributions of Gujing Distillery and Zhengzi culture. At the same time,
leveraging our steps towards internationalisation with the new Ancient Well approach, we will innovate ways and means of cultural
communication, aiming to "make Chinese baijiu a global language".
In 2024, the Company will continue to be guided by Xi Jinping's Thoughts on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,
and deeply implement the guiding principles of the 20th CPC National Congress along with the strategic decisions of the provincial
and municipal governments. With the "Three Products Project" as our blueprint, we will work tirelessly, hand in hand, and focus our
efforts to deeply implement a new round of state-owned enterprise reform and enhancement actions. We will raise the bar, strive to be
pioneers, and aim to reach RMB30 billion, as we set forth on this new journey to compose new chapters and achieve new glories.

Baijiu revenue is one of the key performance indicators of the Company, there may be the risk of material misstatement in whether
the revenue is recognized in an appropriate accounting period. Therefore, we regard baijiu sales revenue recognition as a key audit

matter.
2. Audit response
Our procedures for revenue recognition include:
(1) Understand the internal control process design related to the sales business, and execute the walk-through test, perform the
control test on the identified key control points;
(2) Additionally, discussions were held with the management and samples of sales contracts were reviewed to identify clauses and
conditions related to the transfer of control over goods. This process is essential for evaluating whether the timing of revenue
recognition complies with corporate accounting standards;
(3) Sampling inspection of supporting documents related to baijiu sales revenue recognition, including sales orders, sales invoices,
outbound orders, sales outstanding, etc.;
(4) Compared with the baijiu sales data of other enterprises in the same industry, compared the liquor sales data of the last period
with the current period, analyzed the overall rationality of revenue and gross margin;
(5) For the baijiu sales revenue recognized before and after the balance sheet date, select samples to check the sales orders, sales
invoices, outbound orders, sales outstanding, etc., in order to evaluate whether the sales revenue is recorded in an appropriate
accounting period;
(6) Confirm the amount of baijiu sold and the closing balance of the advance payment to the main distributor by sending
confirmation letter.
(II) Accuracy of inventory balances
1. Description
Refer to notes to the consolidated financial statements "3 12. Inventory" and "5. 7. Inventory".
Anhui Gujing has a large inventory balance and needs to maintain an appropriate level of inventory to meet future market. The
inventory balance accounts for 21.23% of the Company's total assets, and most of the inventory is semi-finished products and work
in progress products. Inventory has a high balance at the end of the year and a large proportion of the total assets. Therefore, we
regard the accuracy of the Company's inventory balance as a key audit matter.
2. Audit response
Our procedures for the accuracy of inventory balances include:
(1) Understand the internal control process design related to inventory business, and carry out walk-through test, carry out control
tests for identified key control points;
(2) Obtain the stocktaking plan and stocktaking results of the company, understand the stocktaking methods and review procedures of
the company, and supervise the stocktaking;
(3) Understand the company's inventory cost accounting method, select several months of cost calculation sheet to review, and select
the main categories of inventory to carry out valuation test;
(4) To understand the provision method of the company's inventory impairment, evaluate the appropriateness of the provision method,
and review whether the provision amount is correct;
(5) Perform analytical procedures and compare with companies in the same industry.
IV. Other information
Management of Anhui Gujing is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
the Annual Report of Anhui Gujing for the year of 2023, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report
thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion
thereon.


                                                                ~ 88 ~
                                                                                                                     Annual Report 2023


In connection with our audit of 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 audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 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 the Financial Statements
Management of Anhui Gujing is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with
Accounting Standards of Business Enterprises, and for the design, implementation and maintenance of such internal control as
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, management is responsible for assessing Anhui Gujing’s ability to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either
intends to liquidate Anhui Gujing or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing Anhui Gujing’s financial reporting process.
VI. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial 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 includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high
level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with CSAs will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the 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 CSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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
opinion. 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 override of internal control.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Anhui Gujing’s
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. 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 Anhui Gujing 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 achieves fair presentation.
6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Anhui
Gujing to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the
group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and

                                                                 ~ 89 ~

significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control 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 to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in
the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our
auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine 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 interest benefits of such communication.

3.6 Accounting Treatment of Business Combinations under and not under Common Control

(a) Business combinations under common control

The assets and liabilities that the Company obtains in a business combination under common
control shall be measured at their carrying amount of the acquired entity at the combination date. If
the accounting policy adopted by the acquired entity is different from that adopted by the acquiring
entity, the acquiring entity shall, according to accounting policy it adopts, adjust the relevant items
in the financial statements of the acquired party based on the principal of materiality. As for the
difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained by the acquiring entity and the
                                                         ~ 123 ~
                                                                                          Annual Report 2023


carrying amount of the consideration paid by it, the capital reserve (capital premium or share
premium) shall be adjusted. If the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) is not
sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings.

For the accounting treatment of business combination under common control by step acquisitions,
please refer to Note 3.7 (6).

(b) Business combinations not under common control

The assets and liabilities that the Company obtains in a business combination not under common
control shall be measured at their fair value at the acquisition date. If the accounting policy adopted
by the acquired entity is different from that adopted by the acquiring entity, the acquiring entity
shall, according to accounting policy it adopts, adjust the relevant items in the financial statements
of the acquired entity based on the principal of materiality. The acquiring entity shall recognise the
positive balance between the combination costs and the fair value of the identifiable net assets it
obtains from the acquired entity as goodwill. The acquiring entity shall, pursuant to the following
provisions, treat the negative balance between the combination costs and the fair value of the
identifiable net assets it obtains from the acquired entity:

(i) It shall review the measurement of the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities it obtains from the acquired entity as well as the combination costs;

(ii) If, after the review, the combination costs are still less than the fair value of the identifiable net
assets it obtains from the acquired entity, the balance shall be recognised in profit or loss of the
reporting period.

For the accounting treatment of business combination under the same control by step acquisitions,
please refer to Note 3.7 (6).

(c) Treatment of business combination related costs

The intermediary costs such as audit, legal services and valuation consulting and other related
management costs that are directly attributable to the business combination shall be charged in
profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. The costs to issue equity or debt securities for

equity or debt securities upon initial recognition.

3.7 Judgment of Control and Method of Preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements

(a) Judgment of control and consolidation decision

Control exists when the Company has power over the investee, exposure, or rights, to variable
returns from its involvement with the investee and the ability to use its power over the investee to
affect the amount of the returns. The definition of control contains there elements: - power over the

                                               ~ 124 ~
                                                                                        Annual Report 2023


investee; exposure, or rights to variable returns from the Company’s involvement with the investee;
and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. The
Company controls an investee if and only if the Company has all the above three elements.

The scope of consolidated financial statements shall be determined on the basis of control. It not
only includes subsidiaries determined based on voting rights (or similar) or together with other
arrangement, but also structured entities under one or more contractual arrangements.

Subsidiaries are the entities that controlled by the Company (including enterprise, a divisible part of
the investee, and structured entity controlled by the enterprise). A structured entity (sometimes
called a Special Purpose Entity) is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights
are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity.

(b) Special requirement as the parent company is an investment entity

If the parent company is an investment entity, it should measure its investments in particular
subsidiaries as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss instead of consolidating those
subsidiaries in its consolidated and separate financial statements. However, as an exception to this
requirement, if a subsidiary provides investment-related services or activities to the investment
entity, it should be consolidated.

The parent company is defined as investment entity when meets following conditions:

(i) Obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing those investors with
investment management services;

(ii) Commits to its investors that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from
capital appreciation, investment income or both; and

(iii) Measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value
basis.

If the parent company becomes an investment entity, it shall cease to consolidate its subsidiaries at
the date of the change in status, except for any subsidiary which provides investment-related
services or activities to the investment entity shall be continued to be consolidated. The
deconsolidation of subsidiaries is accounted for as though the investment entity partially disposed
subsidiaries without loss of control.

When the parent company previously classified as an investment entity ceases to be an investment
entity, subsidiary that was previously measured at fair value through profit or loss shall be included
in the scope of consolidated financial statements at the date of the change in status. The fair value of
the subsidiary at the date of change represents the transferred deemed consideration in accordance
with the accounting for business combination not under common control.
(c) Method of preparing the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements shall be prepared by the Company based on the financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, and using other related information.

When preparing consolidated financial statements, the Company shall consider the entire group as
an accounting entity, adopt uniform accounting policies and apply the requirements of Accounting
Standard for Business Enterprises related to recognition, measurement and presentation. The
consolidated financial statements shall reflect the overall financial position, operating results and
cash flows of the group.

(i) Like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent are
combined with those of the subsidiaries.

(ii) The carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary is eliminated (off-set) against
the parent’s portion of equity of each subsidiary.

losses shall be recognised in full.

(iv) Make adjustments to special transactions from the perspective of the group.

(d) Method of preparation of the consolidated financial statements when subsidiaries are
acquired or disposed in the reporting period
(i) Acquisition of subsidiaries or business

Subsidiaries or business acquired through business combination under common control

When preparing consolidated statements of financial position, the opening balance of the
consolidated balance sheet shall be adjusted. Related items of comparative financial statements
shall be adjusted as well, deeming that the combined entity has always existed ever since the
ultimate controlling party began to control.

Incomes, expenses and profits of the subsidiary incurred from the beginning of the reporting period
to the end of the reporting period shall be included into the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
Related items of comparative financial statements shall be adjusted as well, deeming that the
combined entity has always existed ever since the ultimate controlling party began to control.

Cash flows from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period shall be
included into the consolidated statement of cash flows. Related items of comparative financial
statements shall be adjusted as well, deeming that the combined entity has always existed ever since
the ultimate controlling party began to control.
Subsidiaries or business acquired through business combination not under common control

When preparing the consolidated statements of financial position, the opening balance of the
consolidated statements of financial position shall not be adjusted.
                                              ~ 126 ~
                                                                                        Annual Report 2023

reporting period shall be included into the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Cash flows from the acquisition date to the end of the reporting period shall be included into the
consolidated statement of cash flows.

(ii) Disposal of subsidiaries or business

When preparing the consolidated statements of financial position, the opening balance of the
consolidated statements of financial position shall not be adjusted.

Incomes, expenses and profits incurred from the beginning of the subsidiary to the disposal date
shall be included into the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Cash flows from the beginning of the subsidiary to the disposal date shall be included into the
consolidated statement of cash flows.

(e) Special consideration in consolidation elimination

(i) Long-term equity investment held by the subsidiaries to the Company shall be recognised as
treasury stock of the Company, which is offset with the owner’s equity, represented as “treasury
stock” under “owner’s equity” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Long-term equity investment held by subsidiaries between each other is accounted for taking
long-term equity investment held by the Company to its subsidiaries as reference. That is, the
long-term equity investment is eliminated (off-set) against the portion of the corresponding
subsidiary’s equity.

(ii) Due to not belonging to paid-in capital (or share capital) and capital reserve, and being different
from retained earnings and undistributed profit, “Specific reserves” and “General risk provision”
shall be recovered based on the proportion attributable to owners of the parent company after
long-term equity investment to the subsidiaries is eliminated with the subsidiaries’ equity.

(iii) If temporary timing difference between the book value of the assets and liabilities in the
consolidated statement of financial position and their tax basis is generated as a result of elimination
of unrealized inter-company transaction profit or loss, deferred tax assets of deferred tax liabilities
shall be recognised, and income tax expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss shall be
adjusted simultaneously, excluding deferred taxes related to transactions or events directly
recognised in owner’s equity or business combination.

(iv) Unrealised inter-company transactions profit or loss generated from the Company selling assets
to its subsidiaries shall be eliminated against “net profit attributed to the owners of the parent
company” in full. Unrealized inter-company transactions profit or loss generated from the
subsidiaries selling assets to the Company shall be eliminated between “net profit attributed to the
owners of the parent company” and “non-controlling interests” pursuant to the proportion of the

                                                                                      Annual Report 2023


Company in the related subsidiaries. Unrealized inter-company transactions profit or loss generated
from the assets sales between the subsidiaries shall be eliminated between “net profit attributed to
the owners of the parent company” and “non-controlling interests” pursuant to the proportion of the
Company in the selling subsidiaries.

(v) If loss attributed to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary in current period is more than the
proportion of non-controlling interest in this subsidiary at the beginning of the period,
non-controlling interest is still to be written down.

(f) Accounting for Special Transactions

(i) Purchasing of non-controlling interests

Where, the Company purchases non-controlling interests of its subsidiary, in the separate financial
statements of the Company, the cost of the long-term equity investment obtained in purchasing
non-controlling interests is measured at the fair value of the consideration paid. In the consolidated
financial statements, difference between the cost of the long-term equity investment newly obtained
in purchasing non-controlling interests and share of the subsidiary’s net assets from the acquisition
date or combination date continuingly calculated pursuant to the newly acquired shareholding
proportion shall be adjusted into capital reserve (capital premium or share premium). If capital
reserve is not enough to be offset, surplus reserve and undistributed profit shall be offset in turn.

(ii) Gaining control over the subsidiary in stages through multiple transactions

Business combination under common control in stages through multiple transactions

On the combination date, in the separate financial statement, initial cost of the long-term equity
investment is determined according to the share of carrying amount of the acquiree’s net assets in
the ultimate controlling entity’s consolidated financial statements after combination. The difference
between the initial cost of the long-term equity investment and the carrying amount of the long
-term investment held prior of control plus book value of additional consideration paid at
acquisition date is adjusted into capital reserve (capital premium or share premium). If the capital
reserve is not enough to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against surplus reserve
and undistributed profit in turn.

In the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities acquired during the combination
should be recognized at their carrying amount in the ultimate controlling entity’s consolidated
financial statements on the combination date unless any adjustment is resulted from the difference
in accounting policies. The difference between the carrying amount of the investment held prior of
control plus book value of additional consideration paid on the acquisition date and the net assets
acquired through the combination is adjusted into capital reserve (capital premium or share
premium). If the capital reserve is not enough to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted
against retained earnings.

                                              ~ 128 ~
                                                                                       Annual Report 2023


If the acquiring entity holds equity investment in the acquired entity prior to the combination date
and the equity investment is accounted for under the equity method, related profit or loss, other
comprehensive income and other changes in equity which have been recognised during the period
from the later of the date of the Company obtaining original equity interest and the date of both the
acquirer and the acquiree under common control of the same ultimate controlling party to the
combination date should be offset against the opening balance of retained earnings at the
comparative financial statements period respectively.

Business combination not under common control in stages through multiple transactions

On the consolidation date, in the separate financial statements, the initial cost of long-term equity
investment is determined according to the carrying amount of the original long-term investment
plus the cost of new investment.

In the consolidated financial statements, the equity interest of the acquired entity held prior to the
acquisition date shall be re-measured at its fair value on the acquisition date. Difference between the
fair value of the equity interest and its book value is recognised as investment income. The other
comprehensive income related to the equity interest held prior to the acquisition date calculated
through equity method, should be transferred to current investment income of the acquisition
period, excluding other comprehensive income resulted from the remeasurement of the net assets or
net liabilities under defined benefit plan. The Company shall disclose acquisition-date fair value of
the equity interest held prior to the acquisition date, and the related gains or losses due to the
remeasurement based on fair value.

(iii) Disposal of investment in subsidiaries without a loss of control

For partial disposal of the long-term equity investment in the subsidiaries without a loss of control,
when the Company prepares consolidated financial statements, difference between consideration
received from the disposal and the corresponding share of subsidiary’s net assets cumulatively
calculated from the acquisition date or combination date shall be adjusted into capital reserve
(capital premium or share premium). If the capital reserve is not enough to absorb the difference,
any excess shall be offset against retained earnings.

(iv) Disposal of investment in subsidiaries with a loss of control

Disposal through one transaction

If the Company loses control in an investee through partial disposal of the equity investment, when
the consolidated financial statements are prepared, the retained equity interest should be
re-measured at fair value at the date of loss of control. The difference between i) the fair value of
consideration received from the disposal plus non-controlling interest retained; ii) share of the
former subsidiary’s net assets cumulatively calculated from the acquisition date or combination date
according to the original proportion of equity interest, shall be recognised in current investment
                                              ~ 129 ~
                                                                                                   Annual Report 2023


income when control is lost.

Moreover, other comprehensive income and other changes in equity related to the equity investment
in the former subsidiary shall be transferred into current investment income when control is lost,
excluding other comprehensive income resulted from the remeasurement of the movement of net
assets or net liabilities under defined benefit plan.

Disposal in stages

In the consolidated financial statements, whether the transactions should be accounted for as “a
single transaction” needs to be decided firstly.

If the disposal in stages should not be classified as “a single transaction”, in the separate financial
statements, for transactions prior of the date of loss of control, carrying amount of each disposal of
long-term equity investment need to be recognized, and the difference between consideration
received and the carrying amount of long-term equity investment corresponding to the equity
interest disposed should be recognized in current investment income; in the consolidated financial
statements, the disposal transaction should be accounted for according to related policy in “Disposal
of long-term equity investment in subsidiaries without a loss of control”.

If the disposal in stages should be classified as “a single transaction”, these transactions should be
accounted for as a single transaction of disposal of subsidiary resulting in loss of control. In the
separate financial statements, for each transaction prior of the date of loss of control, difference
between consideration received and the carrying amount of long-term equity investment
corresponding to the equity interest disposed should be recognised as other comprehensive income
firstly, and transferred to profit or loss as a whole when control is lost; in the consolidated financial
statements, for each transaction prior of the date of loss of control, difference between consideration
received and proportion of the subsidiary’s net assets corresponding to the equity interest disposed
should be recognised in profit or loss as a whole when control is lost.

In considering of the terms and conditions of the transactions as well as their economic impact, the
presence of one or more of the following indicators may lead to account for multiple transactions as
a single transaction:

    The transactions are entered into simultaneously or in contemplation of one another.

    The transactions form a single transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect.

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

    One transaction, when considered on its own merits, does not make economic sense, but when considered
    together with the other transaction or transactions would be considered economically justifiable.

   (v) Diluting equity share of parent company in its subsidiaries due to additional capital

                                                 ~ 130 ~

         injection by the subsidiaries’ minority shareholders.

Other shareholders (minority shareholders) of the subsidiaries inject additional capital in the
subsidiaries, which resulted in the dilution of equity interest of parent company in these subsidiaries.
In the consolidated financial statements, difference between share of the corresponding subsidiaries’
net assets calculated based on the parent’s equity interest before and after the capital injection shall
be adjusted into capital reserve (capital premium or share premium). If the capital reserve is not
enough to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings.

3.8 Classification of Joint Arrangements and Accounting for Joint Operation

A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. Joint
arrangement of the Company is classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture.

(a) Joint operation

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the
arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.

and account for them in accordance with relevant accounting standards of the Accounting Standards
for Business Enterprises:

equivalents include short-term (generally within three months of maturity at acquisition), highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to
an insignificant risk of changes in value.

3.10 Financial Instruments

Financial instrument is any contract which gives rise to both a financial asset of one entity and a
financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

(a) Recognition and derecognition of financial instrument

A financial asset or a financial liability should be recognised in the statement of financial position
when, and only when, an entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial asset can only be derecognised when meets one of the following conditions:

(i) The rights to the contractual cash flows from a financial asset expire

(ii) The financial asset has been transferred and meets one of the following derecognition
conditions:

Financial liabilities (or part thereof) are derecognised only when the liability is extinguished—i.e.,
when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. An exchange of
the Company (borrower) and lender of debt instruments that carry significantly different terms or a
substantial modification of the terms of an existing liability are both accounted for as an
extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.

Purchase or sale of financial assets in a regular-way shall be recognised and derecognised using
trade date accounting. A regular-way purchase or sale of financial assets is a transaction under a
contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by
regulations or convention in the market place concerned. Trade date is the date at which the entity
commits itself to purchase or sell an asset.

(b) Classification and measurement of financial assets

At initial recognition, the Company classified its financial asset based on both the business model
for managing the financial asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset:
financial asset at amortised cost, financial asset at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) and
financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI). Reclassification of
financial assets is permitted if, and only if, the objective of the entity’s business model for
managing those financial assets changes. In this circumstance, all affected financial assets shall be
reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period after the changes in business model;
otherwise the financial assets cannot be reclassified after initial recognition.

Financial assets shall be measured at initial recognition at fair value. For financial assets measured
at FVTPL, transaction costs are recognised in current profit or loss. For financial assets not
measured at FVTPL, transaction costs should be included in the initial measurement. Notes
receivable or accounts receivable that arise from sales of goods or rendering of services are initially
measured at the transaction price defined in the accounting standard of revenue where the
                                             ~ 132 ~
                                                                                         Annual Report 2023


transaction does not include a significant financing component.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets will be based on their categories:

(i)Financial asset at amortised cost
The financial asset at amortised cost category of classification applies when both the following
conditions are met: the financial asset is held within the business model whose objective is to hold
financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual term of the financial
asset gives rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on
the principal amount outstanding. These financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised
cost by adopting the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition
according to the amortisation under effective interest rate method or impairment are recognised in
current profit or loss.

(ii)Financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

The financial asset at FVTOCI category of classification applies when both the following
conditions are met: the financial asset is held within the business model whose objective is achieved
by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual term of the
financial asset gives rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principle and
interest on the principal amount outstanding. All changes in fair value are recognised in other
comprehensive income except for gain or loss arising from impairment or exchange differences,
which should be recognised in current profit or loss. At derecognition, cumulative gain or loss
previously recognised under OCI is reclassified to current profit or loss. However, interest income
calculated based on the effective interest rate is included in current profit or loss.

The Company make an irrevocable decision to designate part of non-trading equity instrument
investments as measured through FVTOCI. All changes in fair value are recognised in other
comprehensive income except for dividend income recognised in current profit or loss. At
derecognition, cumulative gain or loss are reclassified to retained earnings.

(iii)Financial asset at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Financial asset except for above mentioned financial asset at amortised cost or financial asset at fair
value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI), should be classified as financial asset at fair
value through profit or loss (FVTPL). These financial assets should be subsequently measured at
fair value. All the changes in fair value are included in current profit or loss.

(c) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

The Company classified the financial liabilities as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss (FVTPL), loan commitments at a below-market interest rate and financial guarantee contracts
and financial asset at amortised cost.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets will be based on the classification:
                                              ~ 133 ~
                                                                                          Annual Report 2023


      (i)Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives that are financial liabilities) and financial
liabilities designated at FVTPL are classified as financial liabilities at FVTP. After initial
recognition, any gain or loss (including interest expense) are recognised in current profit or loss
except for those hedge accounting is applied. For financial liability that is designated as at FVTPL,
changes in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the own credit risk
of the issuer shall be presented in other comprehensive income. At derecognition, cumulative gain
or loss previously recognised under OCI is reclassified to retained earnings.

(ii)Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts

Loan commitment is a commitment by the Company to provide a loan to customer under specified
contract terms. The provision of impairment losses of loan commitments shall be recognised based
on expected credit losses model.

Financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the Company to make specified payments to
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due
in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee
contracts liability shall be subsequently measured at the higher of: The amount of the loss
allowance recognised according to the impairment principles of financial instruments; and the
amount initially recognised less the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with
the revenue principles.

(iii)Financial liabilities at amortised cost

After initial recognition, the Company measured other financial liabilities at amortised cost using
the effective interest method.

Except for special situation, financial liabilities and equity instrument should be classified in
accordance with the following principles:

(i)   If the Company has no unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial
      instrument to fulfill a contractual obligation, this contractual obligation meet the definition of
      financial liabilities. Some financial instruments do not comprise terms and conditions related
      to obligations of delivering cash or another financial instrument explicitly, they may include
      contractual obligation indirectly through other terms and conditions.

(ii) If a financial instrument must or may be settled in the Company's own equity instruments, it
should be considered that the Company’s own equity instruments are alternatives of cash or another
financial instrument, or to entitle the holder of the equity instruments to sharing the remaining rights
over the net assets of the issuer. If the former is the case, the instrument is a liability of the issuer;
otherwise, it is an equity instrument of the issuer. Under some circumstances, it is regulated in the
contract that the financial instrument must or may be settled in the Company's own equity

                                                     ~ 134 ~
                                                                                          Annual Report 2023


instruments, where, amount of contractual rights and obligations are calculated by multiplying the
number of the equity instruments to be available or delivered by its fair value upon settlement. Such
contracts shall be classified as financial liabilities, regardless that the amount of contractual rights
and liabilities is fixed, or fluctuate totally or partially with variables other than market price of the
entity’s own equity instruments (such as interest rate, price of some kind of goods or some kind of
financial instrument).

(d) Derivatives and embedded derivatives

At initial recognition, derivatives shall be measured at fair value at the date of derivative contracts
are signed and subsequently measured at fair value. The derivative with a positive fair value shall be
recognized as an asset, and with a negative fair value shall be recognised as a liability.

Gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value of derivatives shall be recognised directly into
current profit or loss except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges which shall be recognised
in other comprehensive income and reclassified into current profit or loss when the hedged items
affect profit or loss.

An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid contract with a financial asset as a host, the
Company shall apply the requirements of financial asset classification to the entire hybrid contract.
If a host that is not a financial asset and the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value with
changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss, and the economic characteristics and risks of the
embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host,
and a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the
definition of a derivative, the embedded derivative shall be separated from the hybrid instrument
and accounted for as a separate derivative instrument. If the Company is unable to measure the fair
value of the embedded derivative at the acquisition date or subsequently at the balance sheet date,
the entire hybrid contract is designated as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss.
(e) Impairment of financial instrument

The Company shall recognise a loss allowance based on expected credit losses on a financial asset
that is measured at amortised cost, a debt investment at fair value through other comprehensive
income, a contract asset, a lease receivable, a loan commitment and a financial guarantee contract.
(i) Measurement of expected credit losses

Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses of the financial instruments with the
respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the difference between all
contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash
flows that the Company expects to receive (ie all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original
effective interest rate or credit- adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated
credit-impaired financial assets.
                                               ~ 135 ~
                                                                                         Annual Report 2023


Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default
events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month expected credit losses are the portion of lifetime expected credit losses that represent the
expected credit losses that result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible
within the 12 months after the reporting date (or the expected lifetime, if the expected life of a
financial instrument is less than 12 months).

At each reporting date, the Company classifies financial instruments into three stages and makes
provisions for expected credit losses accordingly. A financial instrument of which the credit risk has
not significantly increased since initial recognition is at stage 1. The Company shall measure the
loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.
A financial instrument with a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but is not
considered to be credit-impaired is at stage 2. The Company shall measure the loss allowance for
that financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. A financial
instrument is considered to be credit-impaired as at the end of the reporting period is at stage 3. The
Company shall measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to the
lifetime expected credit losses.

The Company may assume that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased
significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk
at the reporting date and measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal
to 12-month expected credit losses.

For financial instrument at stage 1, stage 2 and those have low credit risk, the interest revenue shall
be calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset
(ie, impairment loss not been deducted). For financial instrument at stage 3, interest revenue shall
be calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost after deducting of
impairment loss.

For notes receivable, accounts receivable and accounts receivable financing, no matter it contains a
significant financing component or not, the Company shall measure the loss allowance at an amount
equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.

Receivables/Contract assets

For the notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts receivable financing and
long-term receivables which are demonstrated to be impaired by any objective evidence, or
applicable for individual assessment, the Company shall individually assess for impairment and
recognise the loss allowance for expected credit losses. If the Company determines that no objective
evidence of impairment exists for notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts
receivable financing and long-term receivables, or the expected credit loss of a single financial asset
cannot be assessed at reasonable cost, such notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables,

accounts receivable financing and long-term receivables shall be divided into several groups with
similar credit risk characteristics and collectively calculated the expected credit loss. The
determination basis of groups is as following:
Determination basis of notes receivable is as following:

Group 1: Commercial acceptance bills
Group 2: Bank acceptance bills

For each group, the Company calculates expected credit losses through default exposure and the
lifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for credit losses and
considering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.
Determination basis of accounts receivable is as following:

Group 1: Related parties within the scope of consolidation
Group 2: Receivables due from third parties

For each group, the Company calculates expected credit losses through preparing an aging analysis
schedule with the lifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for
credit losses and considering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.
Determination basis of other receivables is as following:

Group 1: Related parties within the scope of consolidation
Group 2: Receivables due from third parties

For each group, the Company calculates expected credit losses through default exposure and the
12-months or lifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for credit
losses and considering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.
Determination basis of accounts receivable financing is as following:

Group 1: Commercial acceptance bills
Group 2: Bank acceptance bills

For each group, the Company calculates expected credit losses through default exposure and the
lifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for credit losses and
considering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.
Determination basis of contract assets is as following:

Group 1: Project construction
Group 2: Undue warranty

For each group, the Company calculates expected credit losses through default exposure and the
lifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for credit losses and
                                              ~ 137 ~
                                                                                                   Annual Report 2023


considering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.
Determination basis of long-term receivables financing is as following:

Group 1: Project receivables, Lease receivables
Group 2: Others

For group 1, the Company calculates expected credit losses through default exposure and the
lifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for credit losses and
considering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.

For group 2, the Company calculates expected credit losses through default exposure and the
12-months or lifetime expected credit losses rate, taking reference to historical experience for credit
losses and considering current condition and expectation for the future economic situation.

The Company's aging calculation method of credit risk characteristic combination based on aging is
as follows:
               Aging               Accounts receivable Provision ratio   Other receivables provision ratio

Within 6 months                                                     1%                                   1%

7 months to 1 years                                                 5%                                   5%

1-2 years                                                          10%                                  10%

2-3 years                                                          50%                                  50%

Over 3 years                                                     100%                                  100%


Debt investment and other debt investment

For debt investment and other debt investment, the Company shall calculate the expected credit loss
through the default exposure and the 12-month or lifetime expected credit loss rate based on the
nature of the investment, counterparty and the type of risk exposure.
(ii) Low credit risk

If the financial instrument has a low risk of default, the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its
contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and adverse changes in economic and business
conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to
fulfill its contractual cash flow obligations.
(iii) Significant increase in credit risk

The Company shall assess whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased
significantly since initial recognition, using the change in the risk of a default occurring over the
expected life of the financial instrument, through the comparison of the risk of a default occurring
on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the
financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition.

                                                  ~ 138 ~
                                                                                                  Annual Report 2023


To make that assessment, the Company shall consider reasonable and supportable information, that
is available without undue cost or effort, and that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk
since initial recognition, including forward-looking information. The information considered by the
Company are as following:

    Significant changes in internal price indicators of credit risk as a result of a change in credit risk since
    inception

    Existing or forecast adverse change in the business, financial or economic conditions of the borrower that
    results in a significant change in the borrower’s ability to meet its debt obligations;

    An actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the borrower; An actual or expected
    significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the borrower;

    Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party
    guarantees or credit enhancements, which are expected to reduce the borrower’s economic incentive to make
    scheduled contractual payments or to otherwise influence the probability of a default occurring;

    Significant change that are expected to reduce the borrower’s economic incentive to make scheduled
    contractual payments;

    Expected changes in the loan documentation including an expected breach of contract that may lead to
    covenant waivers or amendments, interest payment holidays, interest rate step-ups, requiring additional
    collateral or guarantees, or other changes to the contractual framework of the instrument;

    Significant changes in the expected performance and behavior of the borrower;

    Contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.

Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the Company shall assess whether the credit
risk has increased significantly since initial recognition on an individual financial instrument or a
group of financial instruments. When assessed based on a group of financial instruments, the
Company can group financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics, for
example, past due information and credit risk rating.

Generally, the Company shall determine the credit risk on a financial asset has increased
significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.
The Company can only rebut this presumption if the Company has reasonable and supportable
information that is available without undue cost or effort, that demonstrates that the credit risk has
not increased significantly since initial recognition even though the contractual payments are more
than 30 days past due.
(iv) Credit-impaired financial asset

The Company shall assess at each reporting date whether the credit impairment has occurred for

                                                   ~ 139 ~
                                                                                                    Annual Report 2023


financial asset at amortised cost and debt investment at fair value through other comprehensive
income. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact
on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidences that a financial
asset is credit-impaired include observable data about the following events:

Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;a breach of contract, such as a default
or past due event; the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the
borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s)
would not otherwise consider;it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or
other financial reorganisation;the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because
of financial difficulties;the purchase or origination of a financial asset at a deep discount that
reflects the incurred credit losses.
(v) Presentation of impairment of expected credit loss

In order to reflect the changes of credit risk of financial instrument since initial recognition, the
Company shall at each reporting date remeasure the expected credit loss and recognise in profit or
loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses addition (or reversal). For
financial asset at amortised cost, the loss allowance shall reduce the carrying amount of the financial
asset in the statement of financial position; for debt investment at fair value through other
comprehensive income, the loss allowance shall be recognised in other comprehensive income and
shall not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position.
(vi) Write-off

The Company shall directly reduce the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the
Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flow of a financial asset
in its entirety or a portion thereof. Such write-off constitutes a derecognition of the financial asset.
This circumstance usually occurs when the Company determines that the debtor has no assets or
sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flow to repay the write-off amount.

Recovery of financial asset written off shall be recognised in profit or loss as reversal of impairment
loss.
(f) Transfer of financial assets

Transfer of financial assets refers to following two situations:

    Transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset;

    Transfers the entire or a part of a financial asset and retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of
    the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

(i) Derecognition of transferred assets
If the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset,

                                                   ~ 140 ~
                                                                                                Annual Report 2023


or neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial
asset but has not retained control of the financial asset, the financial asset shall be derecognised.

Whether the Company has retained control of the transferred asset depends on the transferee’s
ability to sell the asset. If the transferee has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an
unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without needing to impose
additional restrictions on the transfer, the Company has not retained control.

The Company judges whether the transfer of financial asset qualifies for derecognition based on the
substance of the transfer.

If the transfer of financial asset qualifies for derecognition in its entirety, the difference between the
following shall be recognised in profit or loss:

    The carrying amount of transferred financial asset;

    The sum of consideration received and the part derecognised of the cumulative changes in fair value
    previously recognised in other comprehensive income (The financial assets involved in the transfer are
    classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with Article 18
    of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises - Recognition and Measurement of Financial
    Instruments).

If the transferred asset is a part of a larger financial asset and the part transferred qualifies for
derecognition, the previous carrying amount of the larger financial asset shall be allocated between
the part that continues to be recognised (For this purpose, a retained servicing asset shall be treated
as a part that continues to be recognised) and the part that is derecognised, based on the relative fair
values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between following two amounts shall
be recognised in profit or loss:

    The carrying amount (measured at the date of derecognition) allocated to the part derecognised;

    The sum of the consideration received for the part derecognised and part derecognised of the cumulative
    changes in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income (The financial assets involved in
    the transfer are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance
    with Article 18 of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises - Recognition and Measurement of
    Financial Instruments).

(ii) Continuing involvement in transferred assets

If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a
transferred asset, and retains control of the transferred asset, the Company shall continue to
recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement and also recognise an
associated liability.
The extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the transferred asset is the extent to which

                                                 ~ 141 ~
                                                                                         Annual Report 2023


it is exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset
(iii) Continue to recognise the transferred assets

If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred
financial asset, the Company shall continue to recognise the transferred asset in its entirety and the
consideration received shall be recognised as a financial liability.

The financial asset and the associated financial liability shall not be offset. In subsequent
accounting period, the Company shall continuously recognise any income (gain) arising from the
transferred asset and any expense (loss) incurred on the associated liability.

(g) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be presented separately in the statement of financial
position and shall not be offset. When meets the following conditions, financial assets and financial
liabilities shall be offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position:

The Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; The
Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.

In accounting for a transfer of a financial asset that does not qualify for derecognition, the Company
shall not offset the transferred asset and the associated liability.
(h) Determination of fair value of financial instruments

Determination of fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities please refer to Note 3.11.

3.11 Fair Value Measurement

Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company determines fair value of the related assets and liabilities based on market value in the
principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market price for
the related asset or liability. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the
assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that
market participants act in their economic best interest.

The principal market is the market in which transactions for an asset or liability take place with the
greatest volume and frequency. The most advantageous market is the market which maximizes the
value that could be received from selling the asset and minimizes the value which is needed to be
paid in order to transfer a liability, considering the effect of transport costs and transaction costs
both.

If the active market of the financial asset or financial liability exists, the Company shall measure the
                                              ~ 142 ~
                                                                                        Annual Report 2023


fair value using the quoted price in the active market. If the active market of the financial
instrument is not available, the Company shall measure the fair value using valuation techniques.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability
to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

(i) Valuation techniques

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, including the market approach, the income
approach and the cost approach. The Company shall use valuation techniques consistent with one or
more of those approaches to measure fair value. If multiple valuation techniques are used to
measure fair value, the results shall be evaluated considering the reasonableness of the range of
values indicated by those results. A fair value measurement is the point within that range that is
most representative of fair value in the circumstances.

When using the valuation technique, the Company shall give the priority to relevant observable
inputs. The unobservable inputs can only be used when relevant observable inputs is not available
or practically would not be obtained. Observable inputs refer to the information which is available
from market and reflects the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset
or liability. Unobservable Inputs refer to the information which is not available from market and it
has to be developed using the best information available in the circumstances from the assumptions
that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

(ii) Fair value hierarchy

To Company establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorises into three levels the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority
to Level 1 inputs and second to the Level 2 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. Level 1
inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices
included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

3.12 Inventories

(a) Classification of inventories

Inventories are finished goods or products held for sale in the ordinary course of business, in the
process of production for such sale, or in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the
production process or in the rendering of services, including raw materials, work in progress,
semi-finished goods, finished goods, goods in stock, turnover material, etc.
                                             ~ 143 ~
                                                                                         Annual Report 2023


(b) Measurement method of cost of inventories sold or used
Inventories are measured at actual cost at recognition. The actual cost of an item of inventories
comprises the purchase cost, cost of processing and other costs. The cost of inventories used or sold
is determined on the weighted average basis.

(c) Inventory system
The perpetual inventory system is adopted. The inventories should be counted at least once a year,
and surplus or losses of inventory stocktaking shall be included in current profit and loss.

(d) Recognition Criteria and Provision for impairment of inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The excess of cost over net
realizable value of the inventories is recognised as provision for impairment of inventory, and
recognised in current profit or loss.

Net realizable value of the inventory should be determined on the basis of reliable evidence
obtained, and factors such as purpose of holding the inventory and impact of post balance sheet
event shall be considered.

(i) In normal operation process, finished goods, products and materials for direct sale, their net
realizable values are determined at estimated selling prices less estimated selling expenses and
relevant taxes and surcharges; for inventories held to execute sales contract or service contract, their
net realizable values are calculated on the basis of contract price. If the quantities of inventories
specified in sales contracts are less than the quantities held by the Company, the net realizable value
of the excess portion of inventories shall be based on general selling prices. Net realizable value of
materials held for sale shall be measured based on market price.

(ii) For materials in stock need to be processed, in the ordinary course of production and business,
net realisable value is determined at the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of
completion, the estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes. If the net realisable value of the
finished products produced by such materials is higher than the cost, the materials shall be
measured at cost; if a decline in the price of materials indicates that the cost of the finished products
exceeds its net realisable value, the materials are measured at net realisable value and differences
shall be recognised at the provision for impairment.

(iii) Provisions for inventory impairment are generally determined on an individual basis. For
inventories with large quantity and low unit price, the provisions for inventory impairment are
determined on group basis.

 (iv) If any factor rendering write-downs of the inventories has been eliminated at the reporting
date, the amounts written down are recovered and reversed to the extent of the inventory
impairment, which has been provided for. The reversal shall be included in profit or loss.

                                              ~ 144 ~

(e) Amortisation method of low-value consumables

Low-value consumables: One-off writing off method is adopted.

Package material: One-off writing off method is adopted.

3.13 Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

The Company shall present contract assets or contract liabilities in the statement of financial
position, depending on the relationship between the Company’s satisfying a performance obligation
and the customer’s payment. A contract asset shall be presented if the Company has the right to
consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer
when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. A contract liability shall
be presented if the Company has the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which
the Company has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer.

Method of determination and accounting for expected credit loss for contract assets please refer to
Note 3.10.

Contract assets and contract liabilities shall be presented separately in the statement of financial
position. The contract asset and contract liability for the same contract shall be presented on a net
basis. A net balance shall be listed in the item of "Contract assets" or "Other non-current assets"
according to its liquidity; a credit balance shall be listed in the item of "Contract liabilities" or
"Other non-current liabilities" according to its liquidity. Contract assets and contract liabilities for
different contracts cannot be offset.

3.14 Contract costs

Contract costs include costs to fulfill a contract and the costs to obtain a contract.

The Company shall recognise an asset from the costs incurred to fulfill a contract only if those costs
meet all of the following criteria:

(i) The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract, including: direct labour,
direct materials, manufacturing costs (or similar costs), costs that are explicitly chargeable to the
customer under the contract and other costs that are incurred only because an entity entered into the
contract;

(ii) The costs enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying performance
obligations in the future; and

(iii) The costs are expected to be recovered.

The incremental costs of obtaining a contract shall be recognised as an asset if the Company expects
to recover them.
                                                ~ 145 ~
                                                                                       Annual Report 2023


An asset related to contract costs shall be amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the
revenue recognition of the goods or services to which the asset relates. The Company recognises the
contract acquisition costs as an expense when incurred if the amortisation period of the asset that
the Company otherwise would have recognised is one year or less.

The Company shall accrue the provision for impairment, recognise an impairment loss in profit or
loss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset related to the contract cost exceeds the
difference of below two items, and further consider whether the estimated liability related to the
onerous contract needs to be accrued:

(i) The remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the
goods or services to which the asset relates; less

(ii) The costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services and that have not been
recognised as expenses.

The Company shall recognise in profit or loss a reversal of some or all of an impairment loss
previously recognised when the impairment conditions no longer exist or have improved. The
increased carrying amount of the asset shall not exceed the amount that would have been
determined (net of amortisation) if no impairment loss had been recognised previously.

Providing that the costs to fulfil a contract satisfy the requirement to be recognised as an asset, the
Company shall present them in the account “Inventory” if the contract has an original expected
duration of one year (or a normal operating cycle) or less, or in the account “Other non-current
assets” if the contract has an original expected duration of more than one year (or a normal
operating cycle).

Providing that the costs to obtain a contract satisfy the requirement to be recgonised as an asset, the
Company shall present them in the account “Other current asset” if the contract has an original
expected duration of one year (or a normal operating cycle) or less, or in the account “Other
non-current assets” if the contract has an original expected duration of more than one year (or a
normal operating cycle).

3.15 Long-term Equity Investments

Long-term equity investments refer to equity investments where an investor has control of, or
significant influence over, an investee, as well as equity investments in joint ventures. Associates of
the Company are those entities over which the Company has significant influence.

(a) Determination basis of joint control or significant influence over the investee

Joint control is the relevant agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, and the arranged
relevant activity must be decided under unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. In

                                             ~ 146 ~
                                                                                        Annual Report 2023


assessing whether the Company has joint control of an arrangement, the Company shall assess first
whether all the parties, or a group of the parties, control the arrangement. When all the parties, or a
group of the parties, considered collectively, are able to direct the activities of the arrangement, the
parties control the arrangement collectively. Then the Company shall assess whether decisions
about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties that collectively control
the arrangement. If two or more groups of the parties could control the arrangement collectively, it
shall not be assessed as have joint control of the arrangement. When assessing the joint control, the
protective rights are not considered.

Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of
the investee but is not control or joint control of those policies. In determination of significant
influence over an investee, the Company should consider not only the existing voting rights directly
or indirectly held but also the effect of potential voting rights held by the Company and other
entities that could be currently exercised or converted, including the effect of share warrants, share
options and convertible corporate bonds that issued by the investee and could be converted in
current period.

If the Company holds, directly or indirectly 20% or more but less than 50% of the voting power of
the investee, it is presumed that the Company has significant influence of the investee, unless it can
be clearly demonstrated that in such circumstance, the Company cannot participate in the
decision-making in the production and operating of the investee.

(b) Determination of initial investment cost

(i) Long-term equity investments generated in business combinations

For a business combination involving enterprises under common control, if the Company makes
payment in cash, transfers non-cash assets or bears liabilities as the consideration for the business
combination, the share of carrying amount of the owners’ equity of the acquiree in the consolidated
financial statements of the ultimate controlling party is recognised as the initial cost of the
long-term equity investment on the combination date. The difference between the initial investment
cost and the carrying amount of cash paid, non-cash assets transferred and liabilities assumed shall
be adjusted against the capital reserve; if capital reserve is not enough to be offset, undistributed
profit shall be offset in turn.

For a business combination involving enterprises under common control, if the Company issues
equity securities as the consideration for the business combination, the share of carrying amount of
the owners’ equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate
controlling party is recognised as the initial cost of the long-term equity investment on the
combination date. The total par value of the shares issued is recognised as the share capital. The
difference between the initial investment cost and the carrying amount of the total par value of the
shares issued shall be adjusted against the capital reserve; if capital reserve is not enough to be

                                             ~ 147 ~

offset, undistributed profit shall be offset in turn.

For business combination not under common control, the assets paid, liabilities incurred or assumed
and the fair value of equity securities issued to obtain the control of the acquiree at the acquisition
date shall be determined as the cost of the business combination and recognised as the initial cost of
the long-term equity investment. The audit, legal, valuation and advisory fees, other intermediary
fees, and other relevant general administrative costs incurred for the business combination, shall be
recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(ii) Long-term equity investments acquired not through the business combination, the investment
cost shall be determined based on the following requirements:

For long-term equity investments acquired by payments in cash, the initial cost is the actually paid
purchase cost, including the expenses, taxes and other necessary expenditures directly related to the
acquisition of long-term equity investments.

For long-term equity investments acquired through issuance of equity securities, the initial cost is
the fair value of the issued equity securities.

For the long-term equity investments obtained through exchange of non-monetary assets, if the
exchange has commercial substance, and the fair values of assets traded out and traded in can be
measured reliably, the initial cost of long-term equity investment traded in with non-monetary
assets are determined based on the fair values of the assets traded out together with relevant taxes.
Difference between fair value and book value of the assets traded out is recorded in current profit or
loss. If the exchange of non-monetary assets does not meet the above criterion, the book value of
the assets traded out and relevant taxes are recognised as the initial investment cost.

For long-term equity investment acquired through debt restructuring, the initial cost is determined
based on the fair value of the equity obtained and the difference between initial investment cost and
carrying amount of debts shall be recorded in current profit or loss.

(c) Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss

Long-term equity investment to an entity over which the Company has ability of control shall be
accounted for at cost method. Long-term equity investment to a joint venture or an associate shall
be accounted for at equity method.

(i) Cost method

For Long-term equity investment at cost method, cost of the long-term equity investment shall be
adjusted when additional amount is invested or a part of it is withdrawn. The Company recognises
its share of cash dividends or profits which have been declared to distribute by the investee as
current investment income.

If the initial cost of the investment is in excess of the share of the fair value of the net identifiable
assets in the investee at the date of investment, the difference shall not be adjusted to the initial cost
of long-term equity investment; if the initial cost of the investment is in short of the share of the fair
value of the net identifiable assets in the investee at the date investment, the difference shall be
included in the current profit or loss and the initial cost of the long-term equity investment shall be
adjusted accordingly.

The Company recognises the share of the investee’s net profits or losses, as well as its share of the
investee’s other comprehensive income, as investment income or losses and other comprehensive
income respectively, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment accordingly. The carrying
amount of the investment shall be reduced by the share of any profit or cash dividends declared to
distribute by the investee. The investor’s share of the investee’s owners’ equity changes, other than
those arising from the investee’s net profit or loss, other comprehensive income or profit
distribution, shall be recognised in the investor’s equity, and the carrying amount of the long-term
equity investment shall be adjusted accordingly. The Company recognises its share of the investee’s
net profits or losses after making appropriate adjustments of investee’s net profit based on the fair
values of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the investment date. If the accounting policy and
accounting period adopted by the investee is not in consistency with the Company, the financial
statements of the investee shall be adjusted according to the Company’s accounting policies and
accounting period, based on which, investment income or loss and other comprehensive income,
etc., shall be adjusted. The unrealized profits or losses resulting from inter-company transactions
between the company and its associate or joint venture are eliminated in proportion to the
company’s equity interest in the investee, based on which investment income or losses shall be
recognised. Any losses resulting from inter-company transactions between the investor and the
investee, which belong to asset impairment, shall be recognised in full.

Where the Company obtains the power of joint control or significant influence, but not control, over
the investee, due to additional investment or other reason, the relevant long-term equity investment
shall be accounted for by using the equity method, initial cost of which shall be the fair value of the
original investment plus the additional investment. Where the original investment is classified as
other equity investment, difference between its fair value and the carrying value, in addition to the
cumulative changes in fair value previously recorded in other comprehensive income, shall be
recogised into retained earnings of the period of using equity method.

If the Company loses the joint control or significant influence of the investee for some reasons such
as disposal of equity investment, the retained interest shall be measured at fair value and the
difference between the carrying amount and the fair value at the date of loss the joint control or
significant influence shall be recognised in profit or loss. When the Company discontinues the use
of the equity method, the Company shall account for all amounts previously recognised in other
comprehensive income under equity method in relation to that investment on the same basis as

                                              ~ 149 ~

would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
(d) Equity investment classified as held for sale

Any retained interest in the equity investment not classified as held for sale, shall be accounted for
using equity method.

When an equity investment in an associate or a joint venture previously classified as held for sale
no longer meets the criteria to be so classified, it shall be accounted for using the equity method
retrospectively as from the date of its classification as held for sale. Financial statements for the
periods since classification as held for sale shall be amended accordingly.

(f) Impairment testing and provision for impairment loss

For investment in subsidiaries, associates or a joint ventures, provision for impairment loss please
refer to Note 3.22.

3.16 Investment Properties

(a) Classification of investment properties
Investment properties are properties to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, including:
(i) Land use right leased out
(ii) Land held for transfer upon appreciation
(iii) Buildings leased out

(b) The measurement model of investment property
The Company adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment properties. For
provision for impairment please refer to Note 3.22.
The Company calculates the depreciation or amortisation based on the net amount of investment
property cost less the accumulated impairment and the net residual value using straight-line method.

Fixed assets will only be recognised at the actual cost paid when obtaining as all the following
criteria are satisfied:

(i) It is probable that the economic benefits relating to the fixed assets will flow into the Company;

(ii) The costs of the fixed assets can be measured reliably.
Subsequent expenditure for fixed assets shall be recorded in cost of fixed assets, if recognition
criteria of fixed assets are satisfied, otherwise the expenditure shall be recorded in current profit or
loss when incurred.

(b) Depreciation methods of fixed assets

The Company begins to depreciate the fixed asset from the next month after it is available for
intended use using the straight-line-method. The estimated useful life and annual depreciation rates
which are determined according to the categories, estimated economic useful lives and estimated
net residual rates of fixed assets are listed as followings:

For the fixed assets with impairment provided, the impairment provision should be excluded from
the cost when calculating depreciation.

At the end of reporting period, the Company shall review the useful life, estimated net residual
value and depreciation method of the fixed assets. Estimated useful life of the fixed assets shall be
adjusted if it is changed compared to the original estimation.

3.18 Construction in Progress

(a) Classification of construction in progress

Construction in progress is measured on an individual project basis.

(b) Recognition criteria and timing of transfer from construction in progress to fixed assets

The initial book values of the fixed assets are stated at total expenditures incurred before they are
ready for their intended use, including construction costs, original price of machinery equipment,
other necessary expenses incurred to bring the construction in progress to get ready for its intended
use and borrowing costs of the specific loan for the construction or the proportion of the general
loan used for the constructions incurred before they are ready for their intended use. The

construction in progress shall be transferred to fixed asset when the installation or construction is
ready for the intended use. For construction in progress that has been ready for their intended use
but relevant budgets for the completion of projects have not been completed, the estimated values of
project budgets, prices, or actual costs should be included in the costs of relevant fixed assets, and
depreciation should be provided according to relevant policies of the Company when the fixed
assets are ready for intended use. After the completion of budgets needed for the completion of
projects, the estimated values should be substituted by actual costs, but depreciation already
provided is not adjusted.

 Houses and buildings
                                 inspected and accepted by the local construction authorities and other relevant units;

                                 (iii) If the construction project has reached the predetermined serviceability state but has not

                                 yet completed the final accounts, it shall be transferred to the fixed assets at the estimated

                                 value according to the actual cost of the project from the date of reaching the predetermined

                                 serviceability state.

                                 (i) Relevant equipment and other supporting facilities have been installed;

                                 (ii) After debugging, the equipment can maintain normal and stable operation for a period of

 Equipment to be installed and   time, and the production equipment can produce qualified products stably in a period of time;

 debugged                        (iii) The equipment management department shall conduct joint inspection with the asset use

                                 department, safety management Department, emergency Department, environmental

                                 Protection Department and other departments.

3.19 Right-of-use assets

At the lease commencement date, a right-of-use asset is measured at cost. The cost of a right-of-use
asset comprise:
(i) The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
(ii) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives
received;
(iii) Any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; and

                                                         ~ 152 ~
                                                                                       Annual Report 2023


(iv) An estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying
asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition
required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce
inventories.
A right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost. If it is reasonably certain that ownership of
the lease item will transfer to the Group upon expiry of the lease, the leased item is depreciated over
its useful life; if, however, transfer of ownership of the leased item upon expiry of the lease to the
Group cannot be reasonably expected, the leased item is depreciated over the shorter of its useful
life and the lease term. Where a leased item has recorded impairment, its residual value after
deducting the impairment allowance is depreciated in accordance the principle described in this
paragraph.

3.20 Borrowing costs

(a) Recognition criteria and period for capitalization of borrowing costs

The Company shall capitalize the borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of qualifying assets when meet the following conditions:

(i) Expenditures for the asset are being incurred;

(ii) Borrowing costs are being incurred, and;

(iii) Acquisition, construction or production activities that are necessary to prepare the assets for
their intended use or sale are in progress.

Other borrowing cost, discounts or premiums on borrowings and exchange differences on foreign
currency borrowings shall be recognized into current profit or loss when incurred.

Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition, construction
or production of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption is for a continuous
period of more than 3 months.
Capitalization of such borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying assets being acquired,
constructed or produced become ready for their intended use or sale. The expenditure incurred
subsequently shall be recognised as expenses when incurred.

(b) Capitalization rate and measurement of capitalized amounts of borrowing costs

When funds are borrowed specifically for purchase, construction or manufacturing of assets eligible
for capitalization, the Company shall determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for
capitalisation as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the period less any
interest income on bank deposit or investment income on the temporary investment of those
borrowings.
Where funds allocated for purchase, construction or manufacturing of assets eligible for

capitalization are part of a general borrowing, the eligible amounts are determined by the
weighted-average of the cumulative capital expenditures in excess of the specific borrowing
multiplied by the general borrowing capitalization rate. The capitalisation rate will be the weighted
average of the borrowing costs applicable to the general borrowing.

3.21 Intangible Assets

(a) Measurement method of intangible assets
Intangible assets are recognised at actual cost at acquisition.

(b) The useful life and amortisation of intangible assets

(i) The estimated useful lives of the intangible assets with finite useful lives are as follows:
              Category        Estimated useful life                                  Basis

   Land use right                 40-50 years           Legal life

                                                        The service life is determined by reference to the period that
   Patents                          10 years
                                                        can bring economic benefits to the Company
                                                        The service life is determined by reference to the period that
   Software                        3-5 years
                                                        can bring economic benefits to the Company
                                                        The service life is determined by reference to the period that
   Trademarks                       10 years
                                                        can bring economic benefits to the Company

For intangible assets with finite useful life, the estimated useful life and amortisation method are
reviewed annually at the end of each reporting period and adjusted when necessary. No change has
incurred in current year in the estimated useful life and amortisation method upon review.

(ii) Assets of which the period to bring economic benefits to the Company are unforeseeable are
regarded as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. The Company reassesses the useful
lives of those assets at every year end. If the useful lives of those assets are still indefinite,
impairment test should be performed on those assets at the balance sheet date.
(iii) Amortisation of the intangible assets
For intangible assets with finite useful lives, their useful lives should be determined upon
their acquisition and systematically amortised on a straight-line basis [units of production
method] over the useful life. The amortisation amount shall be recognised into current profit
or loss according to the beneficial items. The amount to be amortised is cost deducting residual
value. For intangible assets which has impaired, the cumulative impairment provision shall be
deducted as well. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be
assumed to be zero unless: there is a commitment by a third party to purchase the asset at the
end of its useful life; or there is an active market for the asset and residual value can be
determined by reference to that market; and it is probable that such a market will exist at the
end of the asset’s useful life.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives shall not be amortised. The Company reassesses
the useful lives of those assets at every year end. If there is evidence to indicate that the
useful lives of those assets become finite, the useful lives shall be estimated and the intangible


                                                      ~ 154 ~
                                                                                   Annual Report 2023


assets shall be amortised systematically and reasonably within the estimated useful lives.

(c) Scope of Research and Development Expenditures

The Company classifies the expenses directly related to research and development activities as
research and development expenditures, including remuneration of research and development staff,
direct material, depreciation cost and long-term amortised expense, design fee, equipment
commissioning fee, intangible assets amortisation cost, outsourcing research and development
cost, and other expenses, etc.

(d) Criteria of classifying expenditures on internal research and development projects into
research phase and development phase

Preparation activities related to materials and other relevant aspects undertaken by the Company
for the purpose of further development shall be treated as research phase. Expenditures incurred
during the research phase of internal research and development projects shall be recognised in
profit or loss when incurred.
Development activities after the research phase of the Company shall be treated as development
phase.

(e) Criteria for capitalization of qualifying expenditures during the development phase

Expenditures arising from development phase on internal research and development projects shall
be recognised as intangible assets only if all of the following conditions have been met:
(i) Technical feasibility of completing the intangible assets so that they will be available
for use or sale;
(ii) Its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
(iii) The method that the intangible assets generate economic benefits, including the Company
can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible assets or the intangible
assets themselves or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible assets;
(iv) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the
development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
(v) Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset.


3.22 Impairment of Long-Term Assets

Impairment loss of long-term equity investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures,
investment properties, fixed assets, constructions in progress, and intangible assets
subsequently measured at cost shall be determined according to following method:
The Company shall assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication
that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company shall estimate the
recoverable amount of the asset and test for impairment. Irrespective of whether there is any
indication of impairment, the Company shall test for impairment of goodwill acquired in a business
combination, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life or intangible assets not yet
available for use annually.
The recoverable amounts of the long-term assets are the higher of their fair values less costs
to dispose and the present values of the estimated future cash flows of the long-term assets.
                                           ~ 155 ~
                                                                                   Annual Report 2023


The Company estimate the recoverable amounts on an individual basis. If it is difficult to estimate
the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount
of the groups of assets that the individual asset belongs to. Identification of a group of asset
is based on whether the cash inflows from it are largely independent of the cash inflows from
other assets or groups of assets.
If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset or a group of assets is less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount and the
provision for impairment loss shall be recognised accordingly.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination shall, from
the acquisition date, be allocated to relevant group of assets based on reasonable method; if
it is difficult to allocate to relevant group of assets, good will shall be allocated to relevant
combination of asset groups. The relevant group of assets or combination of asset groups is a
group of assets or combination of asset groups that is benefit from the synergies of the business
combination and is not larger than the reporting segment determined by the Company.
When test for impairment, if there is an indication that relevant group of assets or combination
of asset groups may be impaired, impairment testing for group of assets or combination of asset
groups excluding goodwill shall be conducted first, and the recoverable amount shall be then
calculated and the impairment loss shall be recognised accordingly. Then the group of assets
or combination of asset groups including goodwill shall be tested for impairment, by comparing
the carrying amount with its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount is less than the
carrying amount, the Company shall recognise the impairment loss.
The mentioned impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent accounting period once it had
been recognised.


3.23 Long-term Deferred Expenses

Long-term deferred expenses are various expenses already incurred, which shall be amortised over
current and subsequent periods with the amortisation period exceeding one year.

3.24 Employee Benefits
Employee benefits refer to all forms of consideration or compensation given by the Company in
exchange for service rendered by employees or for the termination of employment relationship.
Employee benefits include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, termination
benefits and other long-term employee benefits. Benefits provided to an employee's spouse,
children, dependents, family members of decreased employees, or other beneficiaries are also
employee benefits.
According to liquidity, employee benefits are presented in the statement of financial position as
“Employee benefits payable” and “Long-term employee benefits payable”.

(a) Short-term employee benefits

(i) Employee basic salary (salary, bonus, allowance, subsidy)

The Company recognises, in the accounting period in which an employee provides service, actually
                                            ~ 156 ~
                                                                                             Annual Report 2023


occurred short-term employee benefits as a liability, with a corresponding charge to current profit
except for those recognised as capital expenditure based on the requirement of accounting
standards.
(ii) Employee welfare

The Company shall recognise the employee welfare based on actual amount when incurred into
current profit or loss or related capital expenditure. Employee welfare shall be measured at fair
value as it is a non-monetary benefits.

(iii) Social insurance such as medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance,
housing funds, labor union fund and employee education fund
Payments made by the Company of social insurance for employees, such as medical insurance,
work injury insurance and maternity insurance, payments of housing funds, and labor union fund
and employee education fund accrued in accordance with relevant requirements, in the accounting
period in which employees provide services, is calculated according to required accrual bases and
accrual ratio in determining the amount of employee benefits and the related liabilities, which shall
be recognised in current profit or loss or the cost of relevant asset.
(iv) Short-term paid absences
The company shall recognise the related employee benefits arising from accumulating paid
absences when the employees render service that increases their entitlement to future paid absences.
The additional payable amounts shall be measured at the expected additional payments as a result of
the unused entitlement that has accumulated. The Company shall recognise relevant employee
benefit of non-accumulating paid absences when the absences actually occurred.
(v)Short-term profit-sharing plan
The Company shall recognise the related employee benefits payable under a profit-sharing plan
when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

       The Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past
       events; and

       A reliable estimate of the amounts of employee benefits obligation arising from the profit- sharing plan
       can be made.

(b) Post-employment benefits

(i) Defined contribution plans

The Company shall recognise, in the accounting period in which an employee provides service, the
contribution payable to a defined contribution plan as a liability, with a corresponding charge to the
current profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset.

When contributions to a defined contribution plan are not expected to be settled wholly before

                                                ~ 157 ~
                                                                                              Annual Report 2023


twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the
related service, they shall be discounted using relevant discount rate (market yields at the end of the
reporting period on high quality corporate bonds in active market or government bonds with the
currency and term which shall be consistent with the currency and estimated term of the defined
contribution obligations) to measure employee benefits payable.

(ii) Defined benefit plan

The present value of defined benefit obligation and current service costs

Based on the expected accumulative welfare unit method, the Company shall make estimates about
demographic variables and financial variables in adopting the unbiased and consistent actuarial
assumptions and measure defined benefit obligation, and determine the obligation period. The
Company shall discount the obligation arising from defined benefit plan using relevant discount rate
(market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds in active market or
government bonds with the currency and term which shall be consistent with the currency and
estimated term of the defined benefit obligations) in order to determine the present value of the
defined benefit obligation and the current service cost.
The net defined benefit liability or asset

The net defined benefit liability (asset) is the deficit or surplus recognised as the present value of
the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets (if any).

When the Company has a surplus in a defined benefit plan, it shall measure the net defined benefit
asset at the lower of the surplus in the defined benefit plan and the asset ceiling.

The amount recognised in the cost of asset or current profit or loss

Service cost comprises current service cost, past service cost and any gain or loss on settlement.
Other service cost shall be recognised in profit or loss unless accounting standards require or allow
the inclusion of current service cost within the cost of assets.

Net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) comprising interest income on plan assets,
interest cost on the defined benefit obligation and interest on the effect of the asset ceiling, shall be
included in profit or loss.
The amount recognised in other comprehensive income

Changes in the net liability or asset of the defined benefit plan resulting from the remeasurements
including:

       Actuarial gains and losses, the changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting
       from experience adjustments or the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions;

       Return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability or
       asset;
                                                ~ 158 ~
                                                                                                 Annual Report 2023


       Any change in the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined
       benefit liability (asset).

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset) recognised in other comprehensive
income shall not be reclassified to profit or loss in a subsequent period. However, the Company
may transfer those amounts recognised in other comprehensive income within equity.

(c) Termination benefits

The Company providing termination benefits to employees shall recognise an employee benefits
liability for termination benefits, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss of the reporting
period, at the earlier of the following dates:

(i) When the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of
an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal.

(ii) When the Company recognises costs or expenses related to a restructuring that involves the
payment of termination benefits.

If the termination benefits are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end
of the annual reporting period, the Company shall discount the termination benefits using relevant
discount rate (market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds in
active market or government bonds with the currency and term which shall be consistent with the
currency and estimated term of the defined benefit obligations) to measure the employee benefits.

(d) Other long-term employee benefits

(i) Meet the conditions of the defined contribution plan

When other long-term employee benefits provided by the Company to the employees satisfies the
conditions for classifying as a defined contribution plan, all those benefits payable shall be
accounted for as employee benefits payable at their discounted value.
(ii) Meet the conditions of the defined benefit plan

At the end of the reporting period, the Company recognised the cost of employee benefit from other
long-term employee benefits as the following components:

    Service costs;

    Net interest cost for net liability or asset of other long-term employee benefits

    Changes resulting from the remeasurements of the net liability or asset of other long-term employee benefits

In order to simplify the accounting treatment, the net amount of above items shall be recognised in
profit or loss or relevant cost of assets.

3.25 Lease liabilities
                                                   ~ 159 ~
                                                                                        Annual Report 2023


At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease
payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments comprise:

(i) Fixed payments, or in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
(ii) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;

(iii) The exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that
option;

(iv) Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising
an option to terminate the lease; and

(v) Amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees.

The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can
be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use the lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate. The excess of the lease payments over its present value is amortised
over the lease term as interest expenses using the discount rate. A variable lease payment which is
not included in the initial measurement of the lease liability is recognised in profit or loss when
incurred.

3.26 Provisions
(a) Recognition

A provision is recognised for an obligation associated with a contingent event when the following
conditions are satisfied:
(i) The obligation is a present obligation assumed by the entity;

(ii) It is probable that fulfillment of the obligation will result in outflows of economic benefits from
the entity;
(iii) The amount of the obligation can be reliably measured.

(b) Measurement

A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of expenses required for the performance of
relevant present obligations. The Company, when determining the best estimate, has had a
comprehensive consideration of risks with respect to contingencies, uncertainties and the time value
of money. The carrying amount of the provision shall be reviewed at the end of every reporting
period. If conclusive evidences indicate that the carrying amount fails to be the best estimate of the
provision, the carrying amount shall be adjusted based on the updated best estimate.

3.27 Revenue

(a) General Principle

                                             ~ 160 ~
                                                                                        Annual Report 2023


Revenue is defined as the gross inflow of economic benefits arising in the course of the ordinary
activities of the Company when those inflows result in the increases in shareholders’ equity, other
than increases relating to contributions from shareholders.

The Company shall recognise revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in the contract as
the customer obtains control of a good or service. Control of a good or service refers to the ability to
direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining economic benefits from, the good or
service.

When the contract has two or more obligation performances, the Company shall allocate the
transaction price to each performance obligation in proportion to a relative stand-alone selling price
at contract inception of the promised good or service underlying each performance obligation in the
contract and recognize revenue based on the transaction price allocated to each performance
obligation.

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in
exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on
behalf of third parties. When determining the transaction price of the contract, if the contract
includes a variable consideration, the Company shall determine the best estimate of the variable
consideration based on the expected value or the most likely amount and include in the transaction
price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable
consideration is subsequently resolved. If the contract contains a significant financing component,
the Company shall determine the transaction price at an amount that reflects the price that a
customer would have paid for the promised goods or services if the customer had paid cash for
those goods or services when (or as) they transfer to the customer. The difference between the
transaction price and the promised consideration shall be amortised using the effective interest
method within the contract period. The Company need not consider the effects of a significant
financing component if the period between when the Company transfers control of a good or
service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

The Company satisfies a performance obligation over time, if one of the following criteria is met;
otherwise a performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time:

(i) The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s
performance as the Company performs;

(ii) The Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in progress) that
the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced;

(iii) The Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company
and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

                                             ~ 161 ~
                                                                                        Annual Report 2023


For each performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company shall recognise revenue over
time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation, unless
those progress cannot be reasonably measured. The Company measures the progress of a
performance obligation for the service rendered using input methods (or output methods). In some
circumstances, the Company cannot be able to reasonably measure the progress of a performance
obligation, but the Company expects to recover the costs incurred in satisfying the performance
obligation. In those circumstances, the Company shall recognise revenue only to the extent of the
costs incurred until such time that it can reasonably measure the progress of the performance
obligation.

The Company shall recognise revenue at the point in which a customer obtains control of a
promised good or service if a performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. To determine the
point in time at which a customer obtains control of a promised good or service, the Company shall
consider indicators of the transfer of control, which include, but are not limited to, the followings:

(i) The Company has a present right to payment for the good or service – a customer is presently
obliged to pay for the good or service;

(ii) The Company has transferred legal title of an asset to a customer - the customer has legal title to
the asset;

(iii) The Company has transferred physical possession of an asset to a customer - the customer has
physical possession of the asset;

(iv) The Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to a
customer - the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset;

(v) The customer has accepted the asset.

(VI) Other indication that the customer has obtained control over the asset.

(b) Specific Method

Revenue recognition methods of the Company are as follows:

(i) Contract of sales of goods

According to the contract of sales of goods between the Company and the customer, the Company
satisfies a performance obligation by transferring goods to the customer, which is a performance
obligation satisfied at a point in time.

Revenue from domestic sales of goods can only be recognised when the following conditions are
satisfied: the Company has transferred the promised goods to the customer according to the contract
and the customer has accepted the goods; the payment has been received or the receipt voucher has
been obtained and it is highly probable that the consideration will be received; the significant risks

                                             ~ 162 ~
                                                                                       Annual Report 2023


and rewards of ownership of the asset has been transferred; legal title of the asset has been
transferred.

(ii) Contract of rendering services

The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s

performance as the Company performs,Company satisfies a performance obligation by rendering

of services to the customer, which is a performance obligation satisfied over time. For each
performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company shall recognise revenue over time by
measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation.

The customer can’t simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s
performance as the Company performs, the Company’s performance does not create an asset with
an alternative use and the Company has no enforceable right to payment for performance completed
to date at all times throughout the duration of the contract, Revenue from rendering of services is a
performance obligation satisfied at a point in time.The company recognizes revenue when the
company completes technical services in accordance with the contractual agreement

(iii) Revenue from usage of assets

Revenue from usage of the Group’s assets is recognised if the revenue can be reliably measured and
it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group.

Revenue from usage of assets mainly includes the income from the leasing of premises and
houses.Revenue measured in accordance with the method determined by the respective contracts.

3.28 Government Grants

(a) Recognition of government grants

A government grant shall not be recgonised until there is reasonable assurance that:

(i) The Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them; and

(ii) The grants will be received.

(b) Measurement of government grants

Monetary grants from the government shall be measured at amount received or receivable, and
non-monetary grants from the government shall be measured at their fair value or at a nominal
value of RMB 1.00 when reliable fair value is not available.

                                            ~ 163 ~
                                                                                         Annual Report 2023


(c) Accounting for government grants

(i) Government grants related to assets

Government grants pertinent to assets mean the government grants that are obtained by the
Company used for purchase or construction, or forming the long-term assets by other ways.
Government grants pertinent to assets shall be recognised as deferred income, and should be
recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful lives of the relevant assets. Grants
measured at their nominal value shall be directly recognised in profit or loss of the period when the
grants are received. When the relevant assets are sold, transferred, written off or damaged before the
assets are terminated, the remaining deferred income shall be transferred into profit or loss of the
period of disposing relevant assets.

(ii) Government grants related to income

Government grants other than related to assets are classified as government grants related to income.
Government grants related to income are accounted for in accordance with the following principles:

If the government grants related to income are used to compensate the enterprise’s relevant
expenses or losses in future periods, such government grants shall be recognised as deferred income
and included into profit or loss (or write down related expenses) in the same period as the relevant
expenses or losses are recognised;

If the government grants related to income are used to compensate the enterprise’s relevant
expenses or losses incurred, such government grants are directly recognised into current profit or
loss (or write down related expenses).

For government grants comprised of part related to assets as well as part related to income, each
part is accounted for separately; if it is difficult to identify different part, the government grants are
accounted for as government grants related to income as a whole.

Government grants related to daily operation activities are recognised in other income (or write
down related expenses) in accordance with the nature of the activities, and government grants
irrelevant to daily operation activities are recognised in non-operating income.

(iii) Loan interest subsidy

When loan interest subsidy is allocated to the bank, and the bank provides a loan at lower-market
rate of interest to the Company, the loan is recognised at the actual received amount, and the interest
expense is calculated based on the principal of the loan and the lower-market rate of interest.

When loan interest subsidy is directly allocated to the Company, the subsidy shall be recognised as
offsetting the relevant borrowing cost.

(iv) Repayment of the government grants

                                              ~ 164 ~
                                                                                          Annual Report 2023


Repayment of the government grants shall be recorded by increasing the carrying amount of the
asset if the book value of the asset has been written down, or reducing the balance of relevant
deferred income if deferred income balance exists, any excess will be recognised into current profit
or loss; or directly recognised into current profit or loss for other circumstances.

3.29 Deferred Tax Assets and Deferred Tax Liabilities

Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in
the statement of financial position and its tax base at the balance sheet date. The Company
recognise and measure the effect of taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary
differences on income tax as deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets using liability
method. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities shall not be discounted.

(a) Recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets should be recognised for deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of
unused tax losses and the carryforward of unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the carryforward
of unused tax losses and the carryforward of unused tax credits can be utilised at the tax rates that
are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised, unless the deferred tax asset arises
from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that:

(i) Is not a business combination; and

(ii) At the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss)

The Company shall recognise a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences arising
from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, only to the extent that, it is probable
that:

(i) The temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and

(ii) Taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be
utilised.

At the end of each reporting period, if there is sufficient evidence that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized, the
Company recognises a previously unrecognised deferred tax asset.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset shall be reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
The Company shall reduce the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no
longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of
that deferred tax asset to be utilised. Any such reduction shall be reversed to the extent that it
becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available.


                                               ~ 165 ~
                                                                                                 Annual Report 2023


(b) Recognition of deferred tax liabilities

A deferred tax liability shall be recognised for all taxable temporary differences at the tax rate that
are expected to apply to the period when the liability is settled.

(i) No deferred tax liability shall be recognised for taxable temporary differences arising from:

         The initial recognition of goodwill; or

 The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which: is not a business
combination; and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit
(tax loss)

(ii) An entity shall recognise a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated
with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures, except to the extent that both of the
following conditions are satisfied:

    The Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and

    It is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

(c) Recognition of deferred tax liabilities or assets involved in special transactions or events

(i) Deferred tax liabilities or assets related to business combination

For the taxable temporary difference or deductible temporary difference arising from a business
combination not under common control, a deferred tax liability or a deferred tax asset shall be
recognised, and simultaneously, goodwill recognised in the business combination shall be adjusted
based on relevant deferred tax expense (income).

(ii) Items directly recognised in equity

Current tax and deferred tax related to items that are recognised directly in equity shall be
recognised in equity. Such items include: other comprehensive income generated from fair value
fluctuation of other debt investments; an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings
resulting from either a change in accounting policy that is applied retrospectively or the correction
of a prior period (significant) error; amounts arising on initial recognition of the equity component
of a compound financial instrument that contains both liability and equity component.

(iii) Unused tax losses and unused tax credits

Unused tax losses and unused tax credits generated from daily operation of the Company itself

Deductible loss refers to the loss calculated and permitted according to the requirement of tax law
that can be offset against taxable income in future periods. The criteria for recognising deferred tax
assets arising from the carryforward of unused tax losses and tax credits are the same as the criteria
for recognising deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences. The Company
                                                   ~ 166 ~
                                                                                        Annual Report 2023


recognises a deferred tax asset arising from unused tax losses or tax credits only to the extent that
there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which the
unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised by the Company. Income taxes in current
profit or loss shall be deducted as well.

Unused tax losses and unused tax credits arising from a business combination

Under a business combination, the acquiree’s deductible temporary differences which do not satisfy
the criteria at the acquisition date for recognition of deferred tax asset shall not be recognised.
Within 12 months after the acquisition date, if new information regarding the facts and
circumstances exists at the acquisition date and the economic benefit of the acquiree’s deductible
temporary differences at the acquisition is expected to be realised, the Company shall recognise
acquired deferred tax benefits and reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill related to this
acquisition. If goodwill is reduced to zero, any remaining deferred tax benefits shall be recognised
in profit or loss. All other acquired deferred tax benefits realised shall be recognised in profit or
loss.

(iv) Temporary difference generated in consolidation elimination

When preparing consolidated financial statements, if temporary difference between carrying value
of the assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their taxable bases is
generated from elimination of inter-company unrealized profit or loss, deferred tax assets or
deferred tax liabilities shall be recognised in the consolidated financial statements, and income taxes
expense in current profit or loss shall be adjusted as well except for deferred tax related to
transactions or events recognised directly in equity and business combination.

(v) Share-based payment settled by equity

If tax authority permits tax deduction that relates to share-based payment, during the period in
which the expenses are recognised according to the accounting standards, the Company estimates
the tax base in accordance with available information at the end of the accounting period and the
temporary difference arising from it. Deferred tax shall be recognised when criteria of recognition
are satisfied. If the amount of estimated future tax deduction exceeds the amount of the cumulative
expenses related to share-based payment recognised according to the accounting standards, the tax
effect of the excess amount shall be recognised directly in equity.

(d) Basis for deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities presented on a net
basis

The Company shall offset deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if, and only if:

(i) the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax
liabilities; and

                                             ~ 167 ~
                                                                                                       Annual Report 2023


(ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same
taxation authority on either:

         the same taxable entity; or

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


3.30 Leases

(a) Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Company shall assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A
contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of one or more
identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, the Company shall
assess whether, throughout the period of use, the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of
the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and to direct the use of the identified asset.

(b) Identifying a separate lease component

When a contract includes more than one separate lease components, the Company shall separate
components of the contract and account for each lease component separately. The right to use an
underlying asset is a separate lease component if both conditions have been satisfied: (i) the lessee
can benefit from use of the underlying asset either on its own or together with other resources that
are readily available to the lessee; (ii) the underlying asset is neither highly dependent on, nor
highly interrelated with, the other underlying assets in the contract.

(c) The Company as a lessee

At the commencement date, the Company identifies the lease that has a lease term of 12 months or
less and does not contain a purchase option as a short-term lease. A lease qualifies as a lease of a
low-value asset if the nature of the asset is such that, when new, the asset is typically of low value.
If the Company subleases an asset, or expects to sublease an asset, the head lease does not qualify
as a lease of a low-value asset.

For all the short-term leases or leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, the Company
shall recognise the lease payments associated with those leases as cost of relevant asset or expenses
in current profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Except for the election of simple treatment as short-term lease or lease of a low-value asset as
mentioned above, at the commencement date, the Company shall recognise a right-of-use asset and
a lease liability.

                                                    ~ 168 ~
                                                                                                     Annual Report 2023


(i) Right-of-use asset

A right-of-use asset is an asset that represents a lessee’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease
term.

At the commencement date, the Company shall initially measure the right-of-use asset at cost. The
cost of the right-of-use asset shall comprise:

    the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

    any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

    any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and

    an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring
    the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and
    conditions of the lease. The Company recognises and measures the cost in accordance with the recognition
    criteria and measurement method for estimated liabilities, details please refer to Notes 3.26. Those costs
    incurred to produce inventories shall be included in the cost of inventories.

The right-of-use asset shall be depreciated according to the categories using straight‐line method.
If it is reasonably certain that the ownership of the underlying asset shall be transferred to the lessee
by the end of the lease term, the depreciation rate shall be determined based on the classification of
the right-of- use asset and estimated residual value rate from the commencement date to the end of
the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the depreciation rate shall be determined based on
the classification of the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of
the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

The depreciation method, estimated useful life, residual rates and annual depreciation rates which
are determined according to the categories of right-of-use asset are listed as followings:

                                Depreciation     Estimated useful                        Annual depreciation rates

                                   method

(ii) Lease liability

At the commencement date, the lease liability shall be measured at the present value of the lease
payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments included in the measurement of the lease
liability comprise the following 5 items:

    fixed payments and in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;


                                                    ~ 169 ~
                                                                                                   Annual Report 2023


    variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;

    the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option;

    payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to
    terminate the lease;

    amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees.

In order to calculate the present value of the lease payments, interest rate implicit in the lease shall
be used as the discount rate. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company shall use the
incremental borrowing rate. The difference between the lease payments and its present value shall
be recognised as unrecognised financing charges, calculated bases on the discount rate of the
present value of the lease payments in each period within the lease term and recorded as interest
expense in current profit or loss. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease
liabilities shall be recognised in current profit or loss when incurred.

After the commencement date, the Company shall remeasure the lease liability based on the revised
present value of the lease payments and adjust the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset if there
is a change in the in-substance fixed payments, or change in the amounts expected to be payable
under a residual value guarantee, or change in an index or a rate used to determine lease payments,
or change in the assessment or exercising of an option to purchase the underlying asset, or an option
to extend or terminate the lease.

(d) The Company as a lessor

At the commencement date, the Company shall classify a lease as a finance lease if it transfers
substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset, otherwise it
shall be classified as an operating lease.

(i) Operating leases

The Company shall recognise lease payments from operating leases as income on a straight-line
basis over the term of the relevant lease and the initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an
operating lease shall be capitalised and recognised as an expense over the lease term on the same
basis as the lease income. The Company shall recognise the variable lease payments relating to the
operating lease but not included in the measurement of the lease receivables into current profit or
loss when incurred.

(ii) Finance leases

At the commencement date, the Company shall recognise the lease receivables at an account equal
to the net investment in the lease (the sum of the present value of the unguaranteed residual values
and the lease payment that are not received at the commencement date discounted at the interest rate

                                                   ~ 170 ~
                                                                                                      Annual Report 2023


implicit in the lease) and derecognise the asset relating to the finance lease. The Company shall
recognise interest income using the interest rate implicit in the lease over the lease term.

The Company shall recognise the variable lease payments relating to the finance lease but not
included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease into current profit or loss when
incurred.

(e) Lease modifications

(i) A lease modification accounted for as a separate lease

The Company shall account for a modification to a lease as a separate lease, if both:

    the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets;
    and

    the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the
    increase in scope.

(ii) A lease modification not accounted for as a separate lease

The Company as a lessee

At the effective date of the lease modification, the Company shall redetermine the lease term of the
modified lease and remeasure the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using a
revised discount rate. The revised discount rate is determined as the interest rate implicit in the lease
for the remainder of the lease term, if that rate can be readily determined, or the incremental
borrowing rate at the effective date of the modification, if the interest rate implicit in the lease
cannot be readily determined.

The Company shall account for the remeasurement of the lease liability by:

    decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease
    for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease or shorten the lease term. The Company shall
    recognise in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

    Making a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset for all other lease
    modifications.

The Company as a lessor

The Company shall account for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from the
effective date of the modification, considering any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the
original lease as part of the lease payments for the new lease.

For a modification to a finance lease that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Company shall
account for the modification as follows:
                                                    ~ 171 ~
                                                                                                 Annual Report 2023


    if the lease would have been classified as an operating lease had the modification been in effect at the
    inception date, the Company shall account for the lease modification as a new lease from the effective date of
    the modification and measure the carrying amount of the underlying asset as the net investment in the lease
    immediately before the effective date of the lease modification;

    if the lease would have been classified as a finance lease had the modification been in effect at the inception
    date, the Company shall account for the lease modification according to the requirements in the modification
    or renegotiation of the contract.

(f) Sale and leaseback

The Company shall determine whether the transfer of an asset under the sale and leaseback
transaction is a sale of that asset according to the policies in Note 3.27.

(i) The Company as a seller (lessee)

If the transfer of the asset is not a sale, the Company shall continue to recognise the transferred
asset and shall recognise a financial liability equal to the transfer proceeds. It shall account for the
financial liability according to Note 3.10. If the transfer of the asset is a sale, the Company shall
measure the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying
amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the Company. Accordingly, the
Company shall recognise only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to
the buyer-lessor.

(ii) The Company as a buyer (lessor)

If the transfer of the asset is not a sale, the Company shall not recognise the transferred asset and
shall recognise a financial asset equal to the transfer proceeds. It shall account for the financial asset
according to Note 3.10. If the transfer of the asset is a sale, the Company shall account for the
purchase of the asset applying applicable Accounting Standards of Business Enterprises, and for the
lease applying the lessor accounting requirements.

3.31 Changes in Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

(a) Changes in accounting polices

On 30 November 2022, the Ministry of Finance issued Interpretation of Accounting Standards for
Business Enterprises No.16 (Caikuai[2022] No.31) (hereinafter referred to as "Interpretation
No.16"), in which the provision of "Accounting treatment of deferred tax related to assets and
liabilities arising from a single transaction that does not apply the initial recognition
exemption" shall be implemented as of 1 January 2023. There are not any significant impacts on
the Company’s financial statements during the reporting period for the implementation of
Interpretation No.16.

 (b) Significant changes in accounting estimates

                                                  ~ 172 ~

(d) Specific determination method of recoverable amount

Recoverable amount of an asset group: determined at the present value of the asset group's
projected future cash flows. Future cash flows are projected on the basis of the financial budget
approved by management for the above asset group for a five-year period, with sustainable cash
flows beyond five years determined at the level of the last year of the detailed forecast period. The
present value is calculated at a discount rate that appropriately reflects the current time value of
money in the market and the specific risks of the asset group. Other key assumptions used in cash
flow forecasting for asset groups include projected operating income, operating costs, growth rates,
and related expenses, which are based on the company's operating results from prior years, growth
rates, industry levels, and management's expectations for market developments. The discount rate
adopted by the Company for 2023 ranges from 16.07% to 17.89%, and the growth rate ranges from
1.81% to 15.68%

(e) Completion of performance commitments and corresponding goodwill impairment

The company's goodwill asset group has no performance commitment this year, which has no
impact on the goodwill impairment test.

10. RISKS RELATED TO FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Risks related to the financial instruments of the Company arise from the recognition of various
financial assets and financial liabilities during its operation, including credit risk, liquidity risk and
market risk.

Management of the Company is responsible for determining risk management objectives and
policies related to financial instruments. Operational management is responsible for the daily risk
management through functional departments (e.g. credit management department of the Company
reviews each credit sale). Internal audit department is responsible for the daily supervision of
implementation of the risk management policies and procedures, and report their findings to the
audit committee in a timely manner.

Overall risk management objective of the Company is to establish risk management policies to
minimize the risks without unduly affecting the competitiveness and resilience of the Company.

10.1 Credit Risk

                                                           ~ 219 ~
                                                                                         Annual Report 2023


Credit risk is the risk of one party of the financial instrument face to a financial loss because the
other party of the financial instrument fails to fulfill its obligation. The credit risk of the Company is
related to cash and equivalent, notes receivable, accounts receivables, other receivables and
long-term receivables. Credit risk of these financial assets is derived from the counterparty’s breach
of contract. The maximum risk exposure is equal to the carrying amount of these financial
instruments.

Cash and cash equivalent of the Company has lower credit risk, as they are mainly deposited in
such financial institutions as commercial bank, of which the Company thinks with higher reputation
and financial position. For notes receivable, other receivables and long-term receivables, the
Company establishes related policies to control their credit risk exposure. The Company assesses
credit capability of its customers and determines their credit terms based on their financial position,
possibility of the guarantee from third party, credit record and other factors (such as current market
status, etc.). The Company monitors its customers’ credit record periodically, and for those
customers with poor credit record, the Company will take measures such as written call, shortening
or cancelling their credit terms so as to ensure the overall credit risk of the Company is controllable.

(i) Determination of significant increases in credit risk

The Company assesses at each reporting date as to whether the credit risk on financial instruments
has increased significantly since initial recognition. When the Company determines whether the
credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, it considers based on reasonable and
supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort, including quantitative and
qualitative analysis of historical information, external credit ratings and forward-looking
information. The Company determines the changes in the risk of a default occurring over the
expected life of the financial instrument through comparing the risk of a default occurring on the
financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial
instrument as at the date of initial recognition based on individual financial instrument or a group of
financial instruments with the similar credit risk characteristics.

When met one or more of the following quantitative or qualitative criteria, the Company determines
that the credit risk on financial instruments has increased significantly: the quantitative criteria
applied mainly because as at the reporting date, the increase in the probability of default occurring
over the lifetime is more than a certain percentage since the initial recognition; the qualitative
criteria applied if the debtor has adverse changes in business and economic conditions, early
warning list of customer, and etc.

(ii) Definition of credit-impaired financial assets

The criteria adopted by the Company for determination of credit impairment are consistent with
internal credit risk management objectives of relevant financial instruments in considering both
quantitative and qualitative indicators.
                                              ~ 220 ~
                                                                                         Annual Report 2023


When the Company assesses whether the debtor has incurred the credit impairment, the main
factors considered are as following: Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower; a
breach of contract, e.g., default or past-due event; a lender having granted a concession to the
borrower for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty that the
lender would not otherwise consider; the probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or
other financial re-organisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset because
of financial difficulties of the issuer or the borrower; the purchase or origination of a financial asset
at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses.

(iii) The parameter of expected credit loss measurement

The company measures impairment provision for different assets with the expected credit loss of
12-month or the lifetime based on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk or
credit impairment has occurred. The key parameters for expected credit loss measurement include
default probability, default loss rate and default risk exposure. The Company sets up the model of
default probability, default loss rate and default risk exposure in considering the quantitative
analysis of historical statistics (such as counterparties’ ratings, guarantee method and collateral type,
repayment method, etc.) and forward-looking information.

Relevant definitions are as following:

Default probability refers to the probability of the debtor will fail to discharge the repayment
obligation over the next 12 months or the entire remaining lifetime;

Default loss rate refers to the Company's expectation of the loss degree of default risk exposure.
The default loss rate varies depending on the type of counterparty, recourse method and priority,
and the collateral. The default loss rate is the percentage of the risk exposure loss when default has
occurred and it is calculated over the next 12 months or the entire lifetime;

The default risk exposure refers to the amount that the company should be repaid when default has
occurred in the next 12 months or the entire lifetime. Both the assessment of significant increase in
credit risk of forward-looking information and the calculation of expected credit losses involve
forward-looking information. Through historical data analysis, the Company identifies key
economic indicators that have impact on the credit risk and expected credit losses for each business.

The maximum exposure to credit risk of the Company is the carrying amount of each financial asset
in the statement of financial position. The Company does not provide any other guarantees that may
expose the Company to credit risk.

For the accounts receivable of the Company, the amount of top 5 clients represents 62.30% of the
total; for the other receivables, the amount of the top five entities represents 59.11% of the total.

10.2 Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of shortage of funds when fulfilling the obligation of settlement by
delivering cash or other financial assets. The Company is responsible for the capital management of
all of its subsidiaries, including short-term investment of cash surplus and dealing with forecasted
cash demand by raising loans. The Company’s policy is to monitor the demand for short-term and
long-term floating capital and whether the requirement of loan contracts is satisfied so as to ensure
to maintain adequate cash and cash equivalents.

10.3 Market Risk

Market risk of financial instruments refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of
financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk mainly includes
foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

(a) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk of the Company mainly arise from foreign currency assets and liabilities
denominated in currency other than the Company’s functional currency. The main business of the
Company is located in Chinese Mainland, and the main business is settled in RMB. There is only a
small amount of export business, which has a small proportion of income scale and impact, and has
little exchange rate risk.

(b) Interest rate risk

Interest risk refers to the risk on the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument brought
by the change of market interest rate. Interest risk mainly arises from bank loans. As of the
statement date, the Company had no bank loan with a floating interest rate.

(c) Other price risk

Investments held for trading were measured at fair value. As such, these investments are subject to
the risk brought by the change of security prices. The Company controls this risk to the acceptable
level by utilising multiple investment mix.


11. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The inputs used in the fair value measurement in its entirety are to be classified in the level of the
hierarchy in which the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement is classified.

Level 1: Inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs for the assets or liabilities (other than those included in Level 1) that are either
directly or indirectly observable.
