MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS I. Industry situation of the company during the reporting period The Company belongs to the steel industry, which is an important basic industry of China's national economy, an important support for building a modern and powerful country, and an important area for achieving green and low-carbon development. The global steel market was gloomy, the operating environment of steel industry was severe and the industry level has been decreasing in 2023. The development trend is largely presented as “huge supply elasticity and slow demand recovery”. The main force that engines steel production increase is that steel export increases and the steel demand of domestic manufacturing industry while the main reason of decreasing consumption is the shrinking steel demand of construction industry. Although prices of imported ore fell year on year, the decreasing extent of steel enterpises’ cost is actually lower than the decreasing amplitude of steel prices. Whole profit of the industry has decreased year on year and performance indicators have been at a low level in recent years. Under the co-effect of “two carbon”target (carbon peaking and carbon neutrality) and economy condition at home and abroad, Steel industry in China has been under an in-depth Adjustment of supply and demand structure. The year of 2024 is the crucial stage of “the 14th Five Year Plan”as well as the key stage when the Long-Range Objectives through the Year 2035 is being shaped and in the making. The expected changes in the supply side of steel industry are not obvious and it is expected that there will be mild recovery on the demand side. “Strong board and long-term weakness (of the stock price)”structure will continue. Meanwhile, under the blueprint of “two carbon”, the domestic steel industry will face a bunch of challenges and opportunities such as “industrial greenization and premiumisation, procedure intelligentization ”. Steel enterprises nationwide will have to face the co-existence of three periods, namely “platform period for supply, adjusting period for demand and differentiation period for profit”. Faced with these challenges, the iron and steel industry will face necessary adjustments and countermeasures. Enterprises need to pay more attention to improving technological innovation, reducing production costs, strengthening the development of domestic and foreign markets, and seeking new growth points. They should focus on strengthening and deepening the basic business disk on the basis of scale, consolidate the core competitiveness of products with technological innovation, and accelerate the transformation to high- end, green, efficient and intelligent.

As a listed company dominated by high-quality plate in Ansteel Group, we shall move towards the goal of “first parade” of domestic automobile steel, 35 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report further optimize and strengthen the brand of automobile steel, and enhance the influence of core products and the profitability of enterprises. (II) Company development strategy General policy of production and management and instructive guiding thought for work in 2024 of the Company: :Take Xi Jinping Thoughts on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era as the guiding principle, study and implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress and The Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee. Uphold the principle of innovation, maintain strategic concentration, take high-quality development as the primary task, and play a good role as the vanguard and main force in building a new development pattern of “Reform + Lean” and “Digital + Technology” . (III) Business plan In 2023, the production and operation target: strive to complete 10.33 million tons of pig iron, 11.15 million tons of crude steel, 10.46 million tons of hot-rolled plate, 6.66 million tons of cold-rolled plate and 458,000 tons of special steel to realize safety production target of “Three Zeroes”(Zero responsible accident, Zero personal injury and Zero damage to the environment). In order to implement the above overall work concept and production and management objectives, we focus our efforts on the following aspects: First, adhere to the bottom line thinking, and strive to prevent and resolve the four risks. Second, adhere to the overall coordination of production and marketing, and focus on optimizing and adjusting the three structures. Third, adhere to cost control, focus on compaction pressure drop process costs. Fourth, adhere to the efficient operation, and strive to continuously improve the eight efficiency. Fifth, adhere to the people 's position, and strive to do a good job in people 's livelihood projects. (IV) Maintain the current business and complete the funding arrangements required for the investment projects under construction The Company will use its own funds and bank loans to meet the funds required for production and operation and technological transformation. (V) Possible risks 1. Risks of macroeconomic policies The Russian-Ukrainian war and the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict are continuing, the century-old changes accelerated, and the world economic recovery was weak. The foundation of China 's economic recovery is not yet solid. Economic development is facing the triple pressure of demand contraction, supply shock and expectation weakening. The external export environment is severe and the downward pressure on the economy is increasing. The downstream demand of the domestic steel industry is generally weak, and the market pattern of supply exceeding demand has not changed fundamentally. The optimization and adjustment of domestic steel layout has accelerated, and the strategic restructuring of iron and steel enterprises has continued to advance. Changes in macro policies such as domestic steady growth finance and finance will bring many uncertainties to the development of the steel industry. Countermeasures : First, strengthen the research on national fiscal, financial and industrial policies, fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, and continuously improve the forward-looking and effectiveness of policy research ; the second is to seize the development opportunities of macro policy adjustment, optimize and adjust strategic 36 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report planning in time, focus on key areas such as safety, green, high efficiency, intelligence and quality, adhere to the ultimate thinking, deepen lean operation, accelerate the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, actively promote green low-carbon transformation and upgrading, create more comparative advantages, continuously improve core competitiveness, and strive to achieve high-quality development of the Company. 2. Raw fuel prices and supply risks The global iron ore supply monopoly situation is difficult to change in the short term, the domestic iron ore demand is highly dependent on foreign countries, the short board of strategic resources such as coal and coke is obvious, the implementation time of the " cornerstone plan " of China 's iron and steel industry is short, and the independent control ability of the supply chain of the iron and steel industry chain is weak. The financial attributes of black resources of ore and coal char are enhanced, and speculation of floating capital at home and abroad is frequent. The energy-saving and emission reduction policies continue to deepen, and the production capacity of upstream coal char enterprises is limited. Various internal and external factors lead to frequent fluctuations in raw fuel prices, and the risk of raw fuel prices and safe supply increases. Countermeasures : First, adhere to the ' predictive ' business procurement concept, strengthen the analysis and judgment of raw fuel supply and market demand, build a raw fuel procurement model, scientifically control the procurement timing, and adjust the procurement strategy in a timely manner ; the second is to strengthen the strategic cooperation of raw fuel supply, consolidate and expand domestic raw fuel procurement channels, deeply aggregate raw fuel resources, accelerate the formation of domestic and foreign dual-cycle supply chain security guarantee pattern, and enhance the price advantage of scale procurement ; the third is to optimize the production burden structure, adjust the raw fuel procurement structure, reasonably control the raw fuel inventory, effectively reduce the adverse effects of raw fuel price fluctuations, and minimize the cost of raw fuel. 3. Environmental protection risks With the continuous strengthening of the state 's environmental protection efforts and the promotion of “carbon peak, carbon neutralization”, the environmental protection department continues to increase the supervision of the pollution control of the iron and steel industry, the environmental protection investment and operation cost of the iron and steel enterprises will increase, and the iron and steel enterprises will face increasing environmental protection pressure. Countermeasures : First, establish and improve the production and operation system of green low-carbon cycle development, that is, through the upgrading of equipment energy conservation and environmental protection, the promotion and application of advanced technology, further improve the efficiency of resource and energy utilization, promote ultra-low emission transformation and comprehensive treatment of pollutants, and continuously reduce carbon emission intensity ; second, actively carry out product ecological design and life cycle assessment to create green and low-carbon products ; the third is to strengthen the operation and maintenance of existing environmental protection equipment and facilities and standardized operation control, focusing on strengthening the monitoring of atmospheric pollution sources ; the fourth is to build a “AAA” level scenic spot garden factory as the starting point, and strive to improve the factory environment.

Other Information The management of Bengang Steel Plates (hereinafter referred to as the Management) is responsible for the other information. Other Auditor’s Report Page 7 information includes the information covered in the 2023 Annual Report of Bengang Steel Plates, but excludes the financial statements and our auditor’s report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 the other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. V. Responsibilities of the Management and those charged with governance for the financial statements The Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises to achieve a fair presentation, and designing, implementing and maintaining the necessary internal controls so that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Management is responsible for assessing the ability of Bengang Steel Plates to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Management either intends to liquidate Bengang Steel Plates or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of Bengang Steel Plates. VI. Auditor’ s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to 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 expresses our opinion. Although reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance Auditor’s Report Page 8 with auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are generally considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions that users of the financial statements make on the basis of the financial statements. During the course of the audit in accordance with auditing standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism. We also carry out the following works: (I) 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 audit. 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. (II) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. (III) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management. (IV) Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 the ability of Bengang Steel Plates 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 in accordance with the auditing standards or, if such disclosures are inadequate, we shall 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 Bengang Steel Plates to cease to continue as a going concern. (V) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content (including disclosures) of the financial statements, and also whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. (VI) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Bengang Auditor’s Report Page 9 Steel Plates to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance audit of the group. 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 significant audit findings etc., 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 those 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 related safeguards, where applicable. 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 prohibited public disclosure about the matter or when, in 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.

FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report amount of equity securities. (VI) Judgement standards for control and compiling method for consolidated financial statements 1. Judgement standards for control The scope of consolidation of consolidated financial statements is determined based on control. All the subsidies (including separable sections of the investees controlled by the Company) have been consolidated into the scope of consolidation for this period ended. 2. Procedure of consolidation The consolidated financial statements shall be presented by the parent based on the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries and using other related information. When preparing consolidated financial statements, the parent shall consider the entire group as an accounting entity, adopt uniform accounting policies and apply the requirements of Accounting Standards 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. The accounting policy and accounting period of the subsidiaries within the consolidation scope shall be in accordance with those of the Company. If not, it is necessary to make the adjustment according to the Company’s accounting policies and accounting period when preparing the consolidated financial statements. For subsidiaries through acquisition that are now under common control, the financial statements are adjusted according to the fair value of identifiable net assets on the acquisition date. For subsidiaries through acquisition that are under common control, the assets, and liabilities (as well as the goodwill arising from purchasing the subsidiary by the ultimate controller) are adjusted according to the book value of net assets in the financial statements of the ultimate controller. The owners’ interests, profit or loss, and comprehensive income of the subsidiary attributable to the non-controlling shareholders shall be presented separately in the shareholders’ equity of the consolidated balance sheet and under the item of net profit of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and under the item Notes of Financial Report Page 5 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report of total comprehensive income. Where losses assumed by the minority exceed the minority’s interests in the beginning equity of a subsidiary, the excess shall be charged against the minority’s interests. (1) Increasing new subsidiaries and businesses If the Company has a new subsidiary due to a business combination under common control during the reporting period, it shall adjust the beginning balance in the consolidated statement of financial position when preparing the consolidated statement of financial position. The revenue, expenses and profits of the subsidiaries from the acquisition date to the end of the reporting period are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The cash flow of the subsidiaries from the acquisition date to the end of the reporting period is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. And meanwhile, the Company shall adjust the relevant items of the comparative financial statements as if the reporting entity for the purpose of consolidation has been in existence since the date the ultimate controlling party first obtained control. When the Company becomes capable of exercising control over an investee under common control due to additional investment or other reasons, adjustment shall be made as if the reporting entity after the combination has been in existence since the date the ultimate controlling party first obtained control. The investment income recognized between the date of previously obtaining equity investment and the date the acquiree and acquirer are under common control, which is later, and the combining date, other comprehensive income and other changes of net assets arising from the equity investment previously held before obtaining the control the acquiree shall be adjusted against the prior retained earnings of the comparative financial statements and the current profit or loss respectively. If it is now under common control, the Company shall not adjust the beginning balance in the consolidated statement of financial position when preparing the consolidated statement of financial position. The revenue, expenses and profits of the subsidiaries from the acquisition date to the end of the reporting period are included in the parent company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The cash flow of the subsidiaries from the acquisition date to the end of the Notes of Financial Report Page 6 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report reporting period is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. When the Company becomes capable of exercising control over an investee now under common control due to additional investment or other reasons, the acquirer shall remeasure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree to its fair value at the acquisition date. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amount shall be recognized as investment income for the period when the acquisition takes place. When the previously-held equity investment is accounted for under the equity method, any other comprehensive income previously recognized in relation to the acquiree’s equity changes shall be transferred to profit or loss for the current period when the acquisition takes place. Other comprehensive income arising from the remeasurement of the defined benefit plan is excluded. (2) Disposing subsidiaries or businesses ① General treatment If the Company disposes of a subsidiary during the reporting period, the revenue, expenses and profits of the subsidiary from the beginning of the reporting period to the disposal date are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The cash flow of the subsidiaries from the beginning of the reporting period to the disposal date is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. When the Company loses control over an investee due to partial disposal or other reasons, the acquirer shall re-measure the remaining equity interests in the acquiree to its fair value at the acquisition date. The difference, between sums of the consideration received for the disposal of equity shares and fair value of the remaining shares, and sums of share of net assets of the subsidiary calculated continuously from the acquisition date or the combination date based on the previous shareholding proportion and goodwill shall be recognized as investment income for the period when the Company loses control over acquiree. When the previously-held equity investment is accounted for under the equity method, any other comprehensive income previously recognized in relation to the acquiree’s equity changes, and other equity changes rather than changes from net profit, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, shall be transferred to investment income for the current period when the Company loses control over Notes of Financial Report Page 7 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report acquiree. Other comprehensive income arising from re-measurement of the defined benefit plan is excluded. When the Company loses control over a subsidiary due to the increase of capital from other investors and thus the shareholding ratio of the Company declines, accounting treatment shall be in accordance with the above-mentioned principles. ②Disposing subsidiaries by multiple transactions Where the Company loses control of a subsidiary in multiple transactions in which it disposes of its subsidiary in stages, in determining whether to account for the multiple transactions as a single transaction, the Company shall consider all of the terms and conditions of the transactions and their economic effects. One or more of the following may indicate that the Company shall account for the multiple arrangements as a single transaction: (1) Arrangements are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of each other; (2) Arrangements work together to achieve an overall commercial effect; (3) The occurrence of one arrangement is dependent on the occurrence of at least one other arrangement; and (4) One arrangement considered on its own is not economically justified, but it is economically justified when considered together with other arrangements. If each of the multiple transactions forms part of a bundled transaction which eventually results in loss of control of the subsidiary, these multiple transactions shall be accounted for as a single transaction. In the consolidated financial statements, the difference between the consideration received and the corresponding proportion of the subsidiary’s net assets in each transaction prior to the loss of control shall be recognized in other comprehensive income and transferred to the profit or loss when the Company eventually loses control of the subsidiary. If each of the multiple transactions which eventually results in loss of control of the subsidiary does not form part of a bundled transaction, apply the treatment of disposing of partial long-term equity investments in a subsidiary without loss of control prior to the loss of control. After the loss of control, apply the treatment of disposing of the subsidiary in common cases. Notes of Financial Report Page 8 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report (3) Acquiring the subsidiaries’ equity interest held by non-controlling shareholders Where the Company has acquired a subsidiary’s equity interest held by non- controlling shareholders, the difference between the increase in the cost of long- term investments as a result of the acquisition of non-controlling interests and the share of net assets of the subsidiary calculated continuously from the acquisition date or the combination date based on the new shareholding proportion shall be adjusted to the capital reserve( capital premium or share premium) in the consolidated financial statements. If the balance of the capital reserve is not sufficient, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings. (4) Disposing portion of equity investments in subsidiaries without losing control When the Company disposes of a portion of the long-term equity investments in a subsidiary without loss of control, the difference between the amount of the consideration received and the corresponding portion of the net assets of the subsidiary calculated continuously from the acquisition date or the combination date related to the disposal of the long-term equity investments shall be adjusted to the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) in the consolidated financial statements. If the balance of the capital reserve is not sufficient, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings. (VII) Classification of joint venture arrangements and accounting treatment Joint venture arrangements are divided into joint operations and joint ventures. When the Company is a joint venture party of a joint venture arrangement and has the assets related to the arrangement and assumes the liabilities related to the arrangement, it is a joint operation. The Company confirms the following items related to the share of interest in the joint operation (1). Confirm the assets held by the Company separately, and confirm the assets held jointly by the Company's share; (2). Recognize the liabilities assumed by the Company separately and the liabilities jointly assumed by the Company's share; (3). Recognize the income generated by the sale of the Company’s share of common operating output; (4). Recognize the revenue generated from the sale of joint operations based on the Company's share; Notes of Financial Report Page 9 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report (5). Confirm the expenses incurred separately and the expenses incurred in the joint operation according to the Company's share. The Company uses equity method to calculate, for details, see Notes “III. (XIII) Long-term equity investment”. (VIII) Criteria for determining cash and cash equivalents The term “cash” refers to the cash on hand and the unrestricted deposit. And the term “cash equivalents” refers to short-term (maturing within three months from acquisition) and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. (IX) Foreign currency transaction and translation of foreign currency financial statements 1. Foreign currency transaction Foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB at the current rate on the day of transactions. The foreign currency monetary items shall be translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The balance of exchange arising from the difference between the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date and the spot exchange rate at the time of initial recognition or prior to the balance sheet date, except those arising from the raising of special foreign debt for the purchase or construction of capitalizable assets thus shall be capitalized according to the borrowing costs capitalization principle, shall be recorded into the profits and losses at the current period. 2. Translation of foreign currency financial statements The asset and liability items in the statement of financial position shall be translated at a spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Among the owner's equity items, except the ones as "undistributed profits", others shall be translated at the spot exchange rate at the time when they are incurred. The income and expense items in the income statement shall be translated using an exchange rate that is determined in a systematic and reasonable manner and approximates the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. When disposing of an overseas business, the Company shall shift the balance, which Notes of Financial Report Page 10 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report is presented under the items of the owner's equities in the statement of financial position and arises from the translation of foreign currency financial statements related to this oversea business, into the disposal profits and losses of the current period. (X) Financial instruments Financial instruments include financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments. 1. Classification of financial instruments A financial asset shall be measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company classifies financial assets that meet the following conditions and are not designated as at fair value through profit or loss as financial assets measured at amortized cost: - The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; - The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company classifies financial assets that meet the following conditions and are not designated as at fair value through profit or loss as financial assets (debt instruments) at fair value through other comprehensive income: - The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; - The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company may make an election at initial recognition for non-trading equity Notes of Financial Report Page 11 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report instrument investments whether it is designated as a financial asset (equity instrument) that is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The designation is made on the basis of a single investment, and the related investment meets the definition of an equity instrument from the issuer's perspective. Other financial assets other than these are classified as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. At the initial recognition, in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatches, financial assets that should be classified as measured at amortized value or financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income can be designated as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Company shall classify financial liabilities as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial measurement. The Company may, at initial recognition, designate a financial liability as measured at fair value through profit or loss because either: 1)it eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch; 2)a group of financial liabilities or financial assets and financial liabilities is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the group is provided internally on that basis to the entity’s key management personnel; 3)the financial liability contains embedded derivatives that need to be separated. 2. Recognition and measurement of financial instruments (1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost Financial assets measured at amortized cost include notes receivables, accounts receivables, other receivables, long-term receivables, debt investments, etc. At initial recognition, the Company shall measure a financial asset at its fair value plus or minus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset. The Company shall measure account receivables at their transaction price if the account receivables do not contain a significant financing Notes of Financial Report Page 12 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report component and account receivables that the Company has decided not to consider for a financing component of no more than one year. Interests calculated by using the effective interest method during the holding period shall be recognized in profit or loss. When recovering or disposing of the receivables, the difference between the price obtained and the carrying value shall be recognized in current profit or loss. (2) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (debt instruments) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (debt instruments) include receivables financing, other debt investments, etc. At initial recognition, the Company shall measure a financial asset at its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset. The financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income except for interest calculated using the effective interest method, impairment losses or gains and exchange gains and losses. When the financial assets are derecognized, the accumulated gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred from other comprehensive income and recognized in profit or loss. (3) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (equity instruments) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (equity instruments). include other equity instrument investments, etc. At initial recognition, the Company shall measure a financial asset at its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset. The financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income. The dividends obtained are recognized in profit and loss. Notes of Financial Report Page 13 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report When the financial assets are derecognized, the accumulated gain or loss previously. recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred from other comprehensive income and recognized in retained earnings. (4) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include transactional financial assets, derivative financial assets, other non-current financial assets, etc. The Company shall measure the financial assets at fair value at initial recognition. Transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss. Changes in fair value are included in profit or loss. (5) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include current financial liabilities, derivative financial liabilities, etc. The Company shall measure the financial assets at fair value at initial recognition. Transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss. Changes in fair value are included in profit or loss. When the financial liabilities are derecognized, the difference between the fair value and the. initially recorded amount is recognized as investment income, and the gains and losses from changes in fair value are adjusted. (6) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include short-term borrowings, notes payables, accounts payables, other payables, long-term borrowings, bonds payables, and long-term payables. At initial recognition, the Company shall measure a financial liability at its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset. Interests calculated by using the effective interest method during the holding period Notes of Financial Report Page 14 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report shall be recognized in profit or loss. When the financial liabilities are derecognized, the difference between the price obtained and the carrying value shall be recognized in profit and loss. 3. Termination of recognition of financial assets and financial assets transfer When one of the following conditions is met, the Company terminates the recognition of financial assets. - Termination of contractual rights to receive cash flows from financial assets; - Termination of contractual rights to receive cash flows from financial assets; - The financial assets have been transferred. Although the Company has neither transferred nor retained almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets, it has not retained control of the financial assets. If the Company modifies or renegotiates the contract with the counterparty and constitutes a substantial modification, the original financial asset shall be terminated and a new financial asset shall be confirmed according to the modified terms. When a financial assets are transferred, if almost all risks and rewards on the ownership of the financial asset are retained, the recognition of the financial asset will not be terminated. To judge whether the transfer of a financial asset can satisfy the conditions as prescribed in these Standards for stopping the recognition of a financial asset, the Company shall follow the principle of substance over form. Transfer of an entire financial asset can be divided into partial financial assets transfer and entire financial asset transfer. If the transfer of an entire financial asset satisfies the conditions for de-recognition, the difference between the amounts of the following 2 items shall be recorded in the profits and losses of the current period: (1) The book value of the transferred financial asset; and (2) The sum of the consideration received from the transfer, and the accumulative Notes of Financial Report Page 15 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report amount of the changes of the fair value originally recorded in the owners' equities (in the event that the financial asset involved in the transfer is a financial asset Available-for-sale). If the transfer of partial financial asset satisfies the conditions to derecognize, the entire book value of the transferred financial asset shall, between the portion whose recognition has been stopped and the portion whose recognition has not been stopped (under such circumstance, the service asset retained shall be deemed as a portion of the financial asset whose recognition has not been stopped), be apportioned according to their respective relative fair value, and the difference between the amounts of the following 2 items shall be included into the profits and losses of the current period: (1) The book value of the portion whose recognition has been stopped; and (2) The sum of consideration of the portion whose recognition has been stopped and the portion of the accumulative amount of the changes in the fair value originally recorded in the owner's equities which is corresponding to the portion whose recognition has been stopped (in the event that the financial asset involved in the transfer is a financial asset Available-for-sale). If the transfer of financial assets does not satisfy the conditions to stop the recognition, it shall continue to be recognized as financial assets and the consideration received shall be recognized as financial liabilities. 4. Termination of recognition of financial liabilities Only when the prevailing obligations of a financial liability are relieved in all or in part may the recognition of the financial liability be terminated in all or partly. Where the Company (the debtor) enters into an agreement with a creditor so as to substitute the existing financial liabilities by way of any new financial liability, and if the contractual stipulations regarding the new financial liability are substantially different from that regarding the existing financial liability, it shall terminate the recognition of the existing financial liability, and shall at the same time recognize the new financial liability. Notes of Financial Report Page 16 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report Where the Company makes substantial revisions to part or all of the contractual stipulations of the existing financial liability, it shall terminate the recognition of the existing financial liability or part of it, and at the same time recognize the financial liability after revising the contractual stipulations as a new financial liability. Where the recognition of a financial liability is totally or partially terminated, the Company shall include in the profits and losses of the current period the difference between the carrying amount which has been terminated from recognition and the considerations it has paid (including the non-cash assets it has transferred out and the new financial liabilities it has assumed). Where the Company buys back part of its financial liabilities, it shall distribute, on the date of repurchase, the carrying amount of the whole financial liabilities in light of the comparatively fair value of the part that continues to be recognized and the part whose recognition has already been terminated. The gap between the carrying amount which is distributed to the part whose recognition has terminated and the considerations it has paid (including the noncash assets it has transferred out and the new financial liabilities it has assumed) shall be recorded into the profits and losses of the current period. 5. Determination of the fair value of the financial assets (liabilities) If active markets for the financial instruments exist, the fair value shall be measured by quoted prices in the active markets. If active markets for the financial instruments do not exist, valuation techniques shall be applied for the measurement. The Company uses valuation techniques appropriate to the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value. The Company chooses relevant observable inputs for identical or similar assets or liabilities. Only when relevant observable inputs are unavailable or should the Company use unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 6. Impairment provision of the financial assets The Company recognized the expected credit loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (debt instruments), financial guarantee contract, and so on, Notes of Financial Report Page 17 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report on an individual or portfolio basis. The Company considers all reasonable and relevant information, including past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions, and uses the risk of default as the weight to calculate the probability-weighted amount of present value of the difference between the cash flow receivable from the contract and the cash flow expected to be received to confirm the expected credit loss. For account receivables and contract assets recognized according to Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 Revenue (2017), whether a significant financing component is contained or not, the Company shall always measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. For lease receivables arising from transactions regulated by Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.21-Leases, the Company chooses to measure its loss provision at all times at an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss during the whole life. For other financial instruments, the Company assesses the changes in the credit risk of the relevant financial instruments since their initial recognition on each balance sheet date. The Company compares the risk of default on the balance sheet date of financial instruments with the risk of default on the date of initial recognition to determine the relative change in the risk of default during the expected life of the financial instrument to assess whether there is a significant increase in the credit risk of financial assets since the initial recognition. Generally, the Company believes that the credit risk of the financial instrument has significantly increased over 30 days after the due date unless there is solid evidence that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk of a financial instrument at the reporting date is relatively low, the Company considers that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since the initial recognition. Notes of Financial Report Page 18 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report If the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since its initial recognition, the Company shall measure its loss reserve according to the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss of the financial instrument during its entire life; If the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, the Company shall measure its loss reserve at an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss of the financial instrument in the next 12 months. The resulting increase or reversal of loss reserves shall be recorded in current profits and losses as impairment losses or gains. For financial assets (debt instruments) measured at fair value and whose changes are included in other comprehensive income, their loss reserves are recognized in other comprehensive income, and impairment losses or gains are included in current profits and losses without reducing the book value of the financial assets listed in the balance sheet. (XI) Inventory 1. Inventory classification Inventories include materials in transit, raw material, turnover materials, finished goods, work in process, issuing commodities, materials for consigned processing, etc. Inventory is initially measured at cost. Inventory cost includes purchase cost, processing cost and other expenditures incurred to bring inventory to its current location and state. 2. Valuation method for inventory dispatched The weighted average method is used to confirm the actual cost of the inventories dispatched. 3. Inventory system Adopt a perpetual inventory system. 4. Amortization method of low-value consumables and packaging materials Notes of Financial Report Page 19 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report (1) Adopt one-time resale method when dealing with low-value consumables (2) Adopt the method of one-time resale when dealing with the packaging 5. Confirmation standards and accrual method of provision for inventory impairment loss On the balance sheet date, inventories shall be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. When the cost of inventories is higher than its net realizable value, provision for inventory impairment loss shall be made. The net realizable value refers to the amount of the estimated selling price of the inventory minus the estimated costs that will occur at the time of completion, estimated selling expenses, and relevant taxes in daily activities. The net realizable value of inventories (finished products, stock commodity, material, etc.) held for direct selling in the daily business activity shall be calculated by deducting the estimated sale expense and relevant taxes from the estimated sale price of inventories; The net realizable value of inventories for further processing in the daily business activity shall be calculated by deducting the estimated cost of completion, estimated sale expense and relevant taxes from the estimated sale price of inventories; The net realizable value of inventories held for the execution of sales contracts or labor contracts shall be calculated on the ground of the contract price. If the Company holds more inventories than the quantities subscribed in the sales contract, the net realizable value of the excessive part of the inventories shall be calculated on the ground of the general sales price. After the inventory impairment is withdrawn, if the factors that previously affected the write-down of the inventory value have disappeared, causing the net realizable value of the inventory to be higher than its book value, it shall be reversed within the amount of the inventory impairment that has been withdrawn, and the reverted amount shall be included in the current profit and loss. (XII) Contract asset 1. Confirmation method and standard for contract asset When either party to a contract has performed, the Company shall present the Notes of Financial Report Page 20 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report contract in the statement of financial position as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the Company’ s performance and the customer’ s payment. If the Company have the right to receive consideration (the right is conditioned on factors other than the passage of time) by transferring goods or services to a customer, the entity shall present the contract as a contract asset. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are disclosed in net amounts. An entity shall present any unconditional rights to consideration (only the passage of time is required) separately as a receivable. 2. Confirmation method and accounting treatment method of expected credit loss of contract assets For the confirmation method and accounting treatment method of expected credit loss of contract assets, please refer to "(X) 6. Test method and accounting treatment method of impairment of financial instruments" in this note. (XIII) Long-term equity investment 1. Criteria of joint control and significant influence Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. If the Company and other joint ventures have joint control of the investee and have rights to the net assets of the investee, the investee is a joint venture of the Company. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but not control or joint control of those policies. If the Company could exert significant influence over the investee, the investee is the associate of the Company. 2. The initial cost of long-term equity investment from business acquisition (1) Long-term equity investment from business acquisition For a business combination under common control, if the consideration of the combination is satisfied by paying cash, transfer of non-cash assets or assumption of liabilities and the issue of equity securities, the initial investment cost of the long- Notes of Financial Report Page 21 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report term equity investment shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owner’s equity of the party being absorbed in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at combination date. When an investor becomes capable of exercising control over an investee under common control due to additional investment or other reasons, the initial investment cost shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of the owner’s equity of the party being absorbed in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at combination date. The difference between the initial investment cost and the carrying amount of the previously held equity investment, together with the additional investment cost for new shares at the combination date, shall be adjusted to the capital reserve. If the balance of capital reserve is not sufficient, any excess shall be adjusted to retained earnings. For a business combination not under common control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be the acquisition cost at the acquisition date. When an investor becomes capable of exercising control over an investee due to additional investment or other reasons, the initial investment cost under the cost method shall be the carrying amount of previously-held equity investment together with the additional investment cost. (2) The initial cost of the long-term equity investment other than from business acquisition The initial cost of a long-term equity investment obtained by making payment in cash shall be the purchase cost which is actually paid. The initial cost of a long-term equity investment obtained by making payment in cash shall be the purchase cost which is actually paid. 3. Subsequent measurement and profit or loss recognition (1) Cost method for the long-term investment The Company adopts the cost method for the long-term investment in a subsidiary company. Under the cost method, an investing enterprise shall, in accordance with Notes of Financial Report Page 22 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report the attributable share of the net profits or losses of the invested entity, recognize the investment profits or losses except the dividend declared but unpaid, which is included in the payment when acquiring the investment. (2) Equity method for the long-term investment A long-term equity investment in an associate or a joint venture shall be accounted for using the equity method. Where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds investor’ s interest in the fair values of an investee’ s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, no adjustment shall be made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial cost is less than the investor’ s interest in the fair values of the investee’ s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the difference shall be credited to profit or loss for the current period, and the cost of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted accordingly. The Company shall recognize its 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, and adjust the carrying amount of the investment accordingly. The carrying amount of the investment shall be reduced by the portion of any profit distributions or cash dividends declared by the investee that is attributable to the investor. 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 (for short, other owners’ equity changes ), and the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted accordingly. The investor shall recognize its share of the investee’s net profits or losses after making appropriate adjustments according to the Company’s accounting principles and operating period based on the fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. During the holding period, if the investee makes consolidated financial statements, the Company shall calculate its share based on the investee’s net profit, other comprehensive income and the amount of other owners’ equity attributed to the investee in the consolidated financial statements. Notes of Financial Report Page 23 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report The unrealized profits or losses resulting from transactions between the investor and its associate or joint venture shall be eliminated in proportion to the investor’s equity interest in the investee, based on which investment income or losses shall be recognized, except the transaction of investment or sale of assets is a business. Any losses resulting from transactions between the investor and investee which are attributable to asset impairment shall be recognized in full. The Company’s net losses incurred by joint ventures or associates, in addition to assuming additional loss obligations, are limited to the book value of long-term equity investments and other long-term equity that essentially constitutes a net investment in joint ventures or associates. If a joint venture or associated enterprise realizes net profits in the future, the Company resumes recognizing its share of profits after the share of profits makes up for the share of unrecognized losses. (3) Disposal of long-term equity investment When disposing of long-term equity investment, the difference between the proceeds actually received and the carrying amount shall be recognized in profit or loss for the current period. Partial disposal of long-term equity investments accounted for by the equity method, and the remaining equity is still accounted for by the equity method, the other comprehensive income recognized by the original equity method shall be carried forward according to the same basis as the direct disposal of related assets or liabilities by the investee. All other changes in the interests of the holders are carried forward to the current profit and loss on a pro-rata basis. When an investor can no longer exercise joint control of or significant influence over an investee due to partial disposal of an equity investment or other reasons, any other comprehensive income previously recognized shall be accounted for on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities for the current period upon discontinuation of the equity method. Other owner's equity change shall be transferred into profit or loss of the current period in full when the Company cease to adopt the equity method. Notes of Financial Report Page 24 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report When an investor can no longer control the investee due to partial disposal, when the individual financial statements are prepared, the remaining equity can exercise joint control or significant influence on the investee, and the equity method shall be used to account for the remaining equity. It is deemed that the equity method is adopted for adjustment since the acquisition, and the other comprehensive income recognized before the control of the investee is obtained is carried forward on the same basis as the direct disposal of related assets or liabilities by the investee, because the equity method is used for accounting. The confirmed changes in other owners’ equity are carried forward to the current profit and loss on a pro-rata basis. If the remaining equity cannot exercise joint control or exert significant influence on the investee, it shall be recognized as a financial asset, and the difference between its fair value and book value on the date when control is lost shall be included in the current profit and loss, and other comprehensive income and other owner’s interests previously recognized shall be transferred to profit or loss in full. If the equity investment of a subsidiary is disposed of through multiple transactions until it loses control, which is a package transaction, each transaction shall be accounted as a transaction that disposes of the equity investment of the subsidiary and loses control. For each transaction before the loss of control, the difference between the disposal price and the book value of the corresponding disposed part of long-term equity investment is first recognized as other comprehensive income in individual financial statements and then transferred to the current profit and loss when the control is lost. If it is not a package transaction, each transaction shall be accounted for separately. (XIV) Fixed assets 1. Recognition and Initial Measurement of Fixed Assets The term "fixed assets" refers to the tangible assets held for the sake of producing commodities, rendering labor service, renting or business management and of which useful life is in excess of one fiscal year. No fixed asset may be recognized unless it simultaneously meets the conditions as follows: (1) The economic benefits pertinent to the fixed asset are likely to flow into the enterprise; and Notes of Financial Report Page 25 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report (2) The cost of the fixed asset can be measured reliably. Fixed assets are initially measured at cost (and considering the impact of expected dismantling cost factors). Subsequent expenditures related to fixed assets are included in the cost of fixed assets when the related economic benefits are likely to flow in and their costs can be reliably measured; the book value of the replaced part is derecognized; all other subsequent expenditures are incurred shall be included in the current profit and loss. 2. Depreciation Method Fixed assets are depreciated under the straight-line method. The depreciation rate is determined according to the category of assets, the useful life and the expected residual rate. If the components of the fixed assets have different useful lives or provide economic benefits in a different way, then different depreciation rate or methods shall be applied and the depreciation of the components shall be calculated separately. Details of classification, residual value rate and annual depreciation rate are as follows: Residual Depreciation Depreciation Residual Category value rate method life (year) value rate (%) (%) Plants and Year average Buildings method 40 5.00 2.38 Year average Machinery 17-24 5.00 3.96-5.59 method Transportation Year average and other 5-12 5.00 7.92-19.00 method equipment 3. Disposal of fixed assets When a fixed asset is disposed of, or it is expected that no economic benefits will Notes of Financial Report Page 26 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report be generated through use or disposal, the recognition of the fixed asset shall be determined. The amount of disposable income of fixed assets raised from sale, transfer, scrapping or damage shall be included in the current profit and loss after deducting its book value and related taxes. (XV) Construction in progress Construction in progress is measured at the actual cost incurred. The actual cost includes construction costs, installation costs, borrowing costs that meet the capitalization conditions, and other necessary expenditures incurred before the construction in progress reaches its intended use status. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed asset when it has reached its working condition for its intended use and depreciation will be accrued from the next month. (XVI) Borrowing costs 1. Principle of the recognition of capitalized borrowing costs Where the borrowing costs incurred by an enterprise can be directly attributable to the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, it shall be capitalized and recorded into the costs of relevant assets. Other borrowing costs shall be recognized as expenses on the basis of the actual amount incurred and shall be recorded into the current profits and losses. Assets eligible for capitalization refer to the fixed assets, investment property, inventories and other assets, of which the acquisition and construction or production may take quite a long time to get ready for their intended use or for sale. 2. The capitalization period of borrowing costs The capitalization period shall refer to the period from the commencement to the cessation of capitalization of the borrowing costs, excluding the period of suspension of capitalization of the borrowing costs. Notes of Financial Report Page 27 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report The borrowing costs shall not be capitalized unless they simultaneously meet the following requirements: (1) The asset disbursements have already been incurred, which shall include cash, transferred noncash assets or interest-bearing debts paid for the acquisition and construction or production activities for preparing assets eligible for capitalization; (2) The borrowing costs have already been incurred; and (3) The acquisition and construction or production activities which are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have already started. When the qualified asset under acquisition and construction or production is ready for the intended use or sale, the capitalization of the borrowing costs shall be ceased. 3. The suspension of capitalization of borrowing costs Where the acquisition and construction or production of a qualified asset are interrupted abnormally and the interruption period lasts for more than 3 months, the capitalization of the borrowing costs shall be suspended. If the interruption is a necessary step for making the qualified asset under acquisition and construction or production ready for the intended use or sale, the capitalization of the borrowing costs shall continue. The borrowing costs incurred during such period shall be recognized as expenses and shall be recorded into the profits and losses of the current period, till the acquisition and construction or production of the asset restarts. 4. Method of calculating the capitalization rate and capitalized amount of borrowing costs For interest expense (minus the income of interests earned on the unused borrowing loans as a deposit in the bank or investment income earned on the loan as a temporary investment) and the ancillary expense incurred to a specifically borrowed loan, those incurred before a qualified asset under acquisition, construction or production is ready for the intended use or sale shall be capitalized Notes of Financial Report Page 28 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report at the incurred amount when they are incurred, and shall be recorded into the costs of the asset eligible for capitalization. The Company shall calculate and determine the to-be-capitalized number of interests on the general borrowing by multiplying the weighted average asset disbursement of the part of the accumulative asset disbursements minus the general borrowing by the capitalization rate of the general borrowing used. The capitalization rate shall be calculated and determined in light of the weighted average interest rate of the general borrowing. (XVII) Intangible assets 1. Measurement of intangible assets (1) Initial measurement is based on cost upon acquisition The cost of an intangible asset on acquisition includes the purchase price, relevant taxes and other necessary disbursements which may be directly attributable to bringing the intangible asset to the conditions for the expected purpose. (2) Subsequent measurement The Company shall analyze and judge the beneficial period of intangible assets upon acquisition. Intangible assets with finite beneficial periods shall be amortized under the straight- line method; during the period when the intangible asset can bring economic benefits to the enterprise. If it is unable to estimate the beneficial period of the intangible asset, it shall be regarded as an intangible asset with uncertain service life and shall not be amortized. 2. Estimated useful lives of intangible assets with limited useful lives: Item Estimated useful life Criteria of estimated useful life Land use right 50 years Land use right certificate 3. Classification criteria for the internal research phase and development phase: Notes of Financial Report Page 29 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report The expenditures for the internal research and development projects of an enterprise shall be classified into research expenditures and development expenditures. Research phase refers to the phase of creative and planned investigation to acquire and study to acquire and understand new scientific or technological knowledge. Development phase refers to the phase during which the result of the research phase or other knowledge is applied to certain projects or designs for the manufacturing of new or substantially improved materials, devices and products before commercial manufacturing and use. 4. Specific conditions for capitalization of development phase expenditures: Research expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Expenditures in the development phase are recognized as intangible assets if the following conditions are met, and expenditures in the development phase that do not meet the following conditions are recognized in profit or loss: (1) It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it can be used or sold; (2) There is an intent to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (3) The manner in which an intangible asset generates economic benefits, including being able to demonstrate that there is a market for the product produced from the intangible asset or that there is a market for the intangible asset itself and that the intangible asset will be used internally, should prove its usefulness; (4) There are sufficient technical, financial and other resources to support the completion of the development of the intangible asset and is capable of using or selling the intangible asset; (5) The expenditure attributable to the development phase of the intangible asset can be measured reliably. If it is not possible to distinguish between research phase expenditures and development phase expenditures, all research and development expenditures incurred are charged to current profit or loss. Notes of Financial Report Page 30 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report (XVIII) Impairment of long-term assets Long-term equity investments, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets, intangible assets with limited useful lives and other long-term assets shall be tested for impairment if there is an indication of impairment at the balance sheet date. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its book value, the difference shall be recognized as a provision for impairment and included in impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of assets, less costs of disposal, and the present value of estimated future cash flows from the assets. The provision for impairment of assets shall be calculated and recognized on an individual basis, and if it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company shall recognize the recoverable amount of asset group to which the asset belongs. The term “assets group” refers to a minimum combination of assets by which the cash flows could be generated independently Goodwill arising from business combinations, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, and intangible assets that have not yet reached their intended useable state shall be tested for impairment at least at the end of each year, regardless of whether there is an indication of impairment. In performing an impairment test on goodwill, the Company shall apportion the book value of goodwill arising from business combinations to the relevant asset group from the date of purchase in accordance with a reasonable method; for those that it is difficult to be apportioned to the relevant asset group, they shall be apportioned to the relevant portfolio of asset group. The relevant asset group or combination of asset groups are those that can benefit from the synergistic effects of the business combination. In performing an impairment test on the relevant asset group or portfolio of asset group that contains goodwill, the Company shall conduct the impairment test first on the asset group or portfolio of asset group that does not contain goodwill if there is an indication of impairment on the asset group or portfolio of asset group relating to goodwill, and calculate its recoverable amount as well as compare it with the relevant book value to recognize the corresponding impairment loss. Then the impairment test shall be performed for the asset group or portfolio of asset group that contains goodwill, Notes of Financial Report Page 31 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report comparing its book value and its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount is less than the book value, the amount of impairment loss shall be offset and apportioned to the book value of goodwill contained in the asset group or portfolio of asset group, and then offset the book value of other assets in proportion to the proportion of book value of assets other than goodwill in the asset group or portfolio of asset group. The impairment losses on assets mentioned above, once recognized, shall not be reversed in subsequent accounting periods. (XIX) Long-term deferred expense The long-term deferred expense refers to the expenses incurred but shall be borne by the current and subsequent accounting period, which is more than one year. The long-term deferred expense shall be amortized over its beneficiary period evenly. (XX) Contract liabilities The Company shall present contract assets or contract liabilities in the statement of financial position in accordance with the relationship between the performance of an obligation and the payment of customers. The obligation of the Company to transfer goods or provide services to customers for consideration received or receivable from customers shall be presented as contract liabilities. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract shall be shown on a net basis. (XXI) Employee benefits 1. Accounting treatment for short-term employee benefits The Company shall recognize the short-term benefits actually incurred as the liabilities, and recognize such liabilities into the current profit and loss or the costs of the related assets in the accounting period to which the employees render the services. Payments made by the Company of social security contributions for employees, payments of housing provident funds, union funds and employee education costs provided in accordance with relevant requirements shall, in the accounting period in which employees provide services, be calculated according to prescribed bases Notes of Financial Report Page 32 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report and percentages in determining the amount of employee benefits. The employee welfare expenses incurred by the Company are included in the current profit and loss or related asset costs based on the actual amount when they actually occur. Among them, non-monetary benefits are measured at fair value. 2. Accounting treatment for post-employment benefits (1) Defined contribution plan The Company shall recognize, in the accounting period in which an employee provides service, pension fund and unemployment fund for employees as liabilities according to the local government regulations. The amount shall be calculated according to local prescribed bases and percentages in determining the amount of employee benefits, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss or cost of an asset for the current period. The Company contributes to the basic pension insurance and unemployment insurance for its employees in accordance with the relevant local government regulations. The amount payable is calculated on the basis of the contribution base and at the rate prescribed by the local regulations and is recognized as a liability and charged to current profit and loss or the cost of related assets in the accounting period in which the employees provide services to the Company. In addition, the Company participates in an enterprise annuity plan/supplemental pension fund approved by the relevant state authorities. The Company contributes a certain percentage of the employees' gross salaries to the annuity plans/local social insurance institutions and the corresponding expenses are charged to current profit and loss or to the cost of related assets. (2) Defined benefit plan None. 3. Accounting treatment for termination benefits The Company shall recognize employee benefits liabilities for termination benefits, with a corresponding charge to the current profit and loss, at the earlier of the following dates: when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal; or when the Company recognizes costs or expenses related to a Notes of Financial Report Page 33 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits. (XXII) Estimated liabilities The obligation pertinent to a contingency shall be recognized as an estimated liability when the following conditions are satisfied simultaneously: (1) That obligation is a current obligation of the Company; (2) It is likely to cause any economic benefit to flow out of the Company as a result of the performance of the obligation; and (3) The amount of the obligation can be measured in a reliable way. The estimated liabilities shall be initially measured in accordance with the best estimate of the necessary expenses for the performance of the current obligation. To determine the best estimate, the Company shall take into full consideration of the risks, uncertainty, time value of money, and other factors pertinent to the contingencies. If the time value of money is of great significance, the best estimate shall be determined after discounting the relevant future outflow of cash. If there is a continuous range of expenses required and the likelihood of various outcomes within that range is equal, the best estimate is determined by the mid-point of the range; in other cases, the best estimate is treated separately as follows: If a contingency relates to a single item, it shall be determined in the light of the most likely outcome. If the contingencies relate to more than one item, the best estimate shall be calculated and determined in accordance with all possible outcomes and the relevant probabilities. When all or some of the expenses necessary for the liquidation of an estimated liabilities of an enterprise is expected to be compensated by a third party, the compensation shall be separately recognized as an asset only when it is virtually certain that the reimbursement will be obtained. The amount recognized for the reimbursement shall not exceed the book value of the estimated liabilities. The Company reviews the book value of the estimated liabilities on the balance sheet date. If there is conclusive evidence that the book value does not reflect the current best Notes of Financial Report Page 34 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report estimate, the book value will be adjusted according to the current best estimate. (XXIII) Revenue 1. Accounting policies used for revenue recognition and measurement The Company shall recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation when (or as) the customer obtains control of a promised good or service. Control of a promised good or service refers to the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from it. If the contract contains two or more performance obligations, the Company shall allocate the transaction price to each individual performance obligation based on the relative proportion of the stand-alone selling price of the goods or services promised by each individual performance obligation on the date of the contract. The Company measures revenue based on the transaction price allocated to each individual 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 customers, excluding amounts collected on behalf of the third parties or amounts expected to be returned to customers. The Company shall consider the terms of the contract and its customary business practices to determine the transaction price. When determining the transaction price, the Company shall consider the effects of all of the following: variable consideration, the existence of a significant financing component in the contract, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to customers. The Company determines the transaction price that includes variable consideration at an amount that does not exceed the amount of accumulated recognized revenue that is unlikely to be materially reversed when the relevant uncertainty is eliminated. If there is a significant financing component in the contract, the Company shall recognize revenue 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, and use the effective interest method to amortize the difference between the transaction price and the contract consideration during the contract period. When one of the following conditions is met, the Company is deemed to have undertaken Notes of Financial Report Page 35 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report the performance obligation within a certain time; otherwise, it will be deemed as undertaking the performance obligation at a certain point in time: The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs; The customer has control over the goods in progress during the Company's performance. The goods produced in the course of the Company's performance are of irreplaceable use and the Company is entitled to receive payment for the portion of the performance that has been completed cumulatively to date during the entire term of the contract. The Company shall recognize revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation, except where the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined. The Company considers the nature of the goods or services and adopts the output method or the input method to determine the progress of performance. Where the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined, but the Company expects to recover the costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligation, the Company shall recognize revenue only to the extent of the costs incurred until such time that it can reasonably measure the outcome of the performance obligation. For performance obligations satisfied at a certain point in time, the Company shall recognize revenue at the point when the customer obtains control of the relevant goods or services. To determine the point in time at which a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, the Company shall consider requirements as follows: The Company has a present right to payment for the promised goods or services and the customer is presently obliged to pay for that; The Company has transferred the legal ownership of the goods to the customer, that is, the customer has the legal ownership to the goods; The Company has transferred physical possession of the goods to the customer, that is, the customer has taken possession of the goods; The Company has transferred the main risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, that is, the customer has the main risks and rewards of Notes of Financial Report Page 36 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report ownership of the goods; The customer has accepted the promised goods or services. The Company determines whether it is the principal responsible person or agent at the time of the transaction according to whether it has control over the goods or services before transferring them to customers. If the Company can control the goods or services before transferring them to customers, the Company is the main responsible person and recognizes the income according to the total consideration received or receivable; Otherwise, the Company, acting as an agent, shall recognize revenue at the amount of commission or handling fee it is expected to be entitled to receive. 2. Disclosure of specific revenue recognition methods and measurement methods according to business types Commodity sales contracts between companies and customers usually only contain performance obligations to transfer goods or services such as steel. Such performance obligations belong to performance obligations performed at a certain point in time, and the Company recognizes revenue at the point when customers obtain control over related goods or services. When judging whether customers have acquired control over goods or services, the company considers the following indications: The Company obtains the right to collect money at present, the legal ownership of the commodity is transferred to the customer, the physical assets of the commodity are transferred to the customer, the Company transfers the main risks and rewards of the ownership of the commodity to the customer, and the customer has accepted the commodity. (XXIV) Contract costs Contract costs include costs to fulfill a contract and incremental costs of obtaining a contract. If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer are not within the scope of another Standard, for example, Inventories, Property, Plant and Equipment or Intangible Assets, the Company shall recognize an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract Notes of Financial Report Page 37 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report only if those costs meet all of the following criteria: the costs relate directly to a contract or to an expected contract; the costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future; and the costs are expected to be recovered. The Company shall recognize as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects to recover those costs. An asset recognized in accordance with contract costs shall be amortized in consistence with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. The Company may recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset is one year or less. The Company shall recognize an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset related to contract assets exceeds: 1. the remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates; less 2. the costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services and that have not been recognized as expenses. The Company shall recognize in profit or loss a reversal of some or all of an impairment loss previously recognized when the impairment conditions no longer exist or have improved. The increased carrying amount of the asset shall not exceed the carrying amount if no impairment loss had been recognized previously. (XXV) Government grants 1. Types Government grants mean the monetary or non-monetary assets obtained free of charge by the Company from the government. Government grants consist of government subsidies pertinent to assets and government subsidies pertinent to income. Government grants related to assets are government grants acquired by the Notes of Financial Report Page 38 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report Company for the acquisition or other formation of long-term assets. Government grants related to income are government grants other than those related to assets. The specific criteria for the Company to classify government grants as asset-related are: government grants acquired by the enterprise and used to acquire or otherwise form long-term assets. The criteria of the Company recognizing the government grants related to income is: In addition to government grants related to assets, government grants that have been clearly targeted for subsidies. For government documents that do not specify the object of the grant, the Company classifies the government grant as asset-related or income-related based on the following judgment: if it can form a long-term asset, the portion of the government grant that corresponds to the value of the asset is treated as an asset- related government grant and the rest as an income-related government grant; if it is difficult to distinguish, the government grant as a whole is treated as an income- related government grant. 2. Time point of recognition Government grants related to assets are recognized when the Company can fulfill the premises attached to it and the grants are actually received. 3. Accounting treatment Government grants related to assets shall be used to offset the book value of the related assets or recognized as deferred income. The government grants recognized as deferred income shall be charged to current profit and loss (if they relate to ordinary activities, to other income; if do not, to non-operating income) in accordance with a reasonable and systematic method over the useful life of the related assets; Government grants related to income that is used to compensate for the related costs and expenses or losses in subsequent periods shall be recognized as deferred income and charged to current profit and loss (if they relate to ordinary activities, to other income; if do not, to non-operating income) in the period in which the Notes of Financial Report Page 39 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report related costs and expense or losses are recognized, or offset the related costs and expenses or losses; for those used to compensate for the related costs and expenses or losses that have been incurred, they shall be directly included in current profit and loss (if they relate to ordinary activities, to other income; if do not, to non- operating income) or offset the related costs and expenses or losses. The policy discount loans obtained by the Company are divided into the following two situations and are separately accounted for: (1) If the government allocates discounted funds to the loan bank and the loan bank provides loans to the Company at a policy preferential interest rate, the Company will take the actual amount of the loan received as the entry value of the loan and calculate the relevant borrowing costs based on the loan principal and the policy preferential interest rate. (2) If the government directly allocates the discounted funds to the Company, the Company will write-down the relevant borrowing costs with the corresponding discounts. (XXVI) Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities Income tax includes current income tax and deferred income tax. Except for income tax arising from business combinations and transactions or events that are directly included in owner's equity (including other comprehensive income), the Company will include current income tax and deferred income tax in current profit and loss. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are calculated and confirmed based on the difference (temporary difference) between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their book values. An enterprise shall recognize the deferred income tax assets arising from a deductible temporary difference to the extent of the amount of the taxable income which it is most likely to be obtained and which can be deducted from the deductible temporary difference. As for any deductible loss or tax deduction that can be carried forward to the next year, the corresponding deferred income tax assets shall be determined to the extent that the Notes of Financial Report Page 40 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report amount of future taxable income to be offset by the deductible loss or tax deduction to be likely obtained. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences, except in exceptional circumstances. Special circumstances in which deferred income tax assets or deferred income tax liabilities are not recognized include: The initial recognition of goodwill. Transactions or events that are neither business combinations nor, when they occur, affect accounting profit and taxable income (or deductible losses). For taxable temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, deferred income tax liabilities are recognized, unless the Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and the temporary differences are likely not to be transferred back into the foreseeable future. For deductible temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, when the temporary differences are likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future and are likely to be used to deduct the taxable income of deductible temporary differences in the future, income tax assets are recognized. On the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the applicable tax rate during the period when the relevant assets are expected to be recovered or the relevant liabilities are expected to be recovered in accordance with the provisions of the tax law. On the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the book value of deferred income tax assets. If it is probable that sufficient taxable income cannot be obtained in the future to offset the benefits of deferred income tax assets, the book value of the deferred income tax assets shall be written down. When it is possible to obtain sufficient taxable income, the reduced amount shall be reversed. When the Company has the statutory right to settle on a net basis and intends to settle on a net basis or to obtain assets and pay off liabilities simultaneously, the current income tax Notes of Financial Report Page 41 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report assets and current income tax liabilities are presented at the net amount after offsetting. On the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are stated at the net of offsetting amounts when the following conditions are also met: The taxable entity has the legal right to settle current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities on a net basis; Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity or on different taxable entities, but in each future period in which it is significant that the deferred income tax assets and liabilities reverse, the taxable entities involved intend to settle the current income tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to acquire the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. (XXVII) Leases A lease is a contract whereby the lessor transfers the right of usage on an asset to the lessee for consideration within a certain period of time. On the contract commencement date, the Company evaluates whether the contract is a lease or includes a lease. If one party in the contract transfers the right to control the use of one or more identified assets within a certain period in exchange for consideration, the contract is a lease or includes a lease. If the contract contains multiple separate leases at the same time, the Company will split the contract and conduct accounting treatment for each separate lease. If the contract includes both lease and non-lease parts, the Company, as the lessor and lessee, will split the lease and non-lease parts for accounting treatment 1. The Company as a lessee (1) Right-of-use assets On the beginning date of the lease term, the Company recognizes the right-of-use assets for leases other than short-term leases and low-value asset leases. The right- of-use assets are initially measured at cost. This cost includes: Initial measurement amount of lease liabilities; For the lease payment paid on or before the beginning of the lease term, if there is lease incentive, the relevant amount of lease incentive enjoyed shall Notes of Financial Report Page 42 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report be deducted; The initial direct costs incurred by the Company; Costs expected to be incurred by the Company to dismantle and remove the leased asset, to restore the site on which the leased asset is located or to restore the leased asset to its agreed condition under the terms of the lease, but do not include costs that are part of the costs incurred to produce the inventory. The Company subsequently depreciates right-of-use assets using the straight-line method. If it is reasonably certain that ownership of the leased asset will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the leased asset over its remaining useful life; otherwise, the leased asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the remaining useful life of the leased asset. For the principles by which the Company determines whether the right-of-use asset has been impaired, please refer to Note “III. (XVIII) Impairment of long-term assets”. (2) Lease liabilities At the beginning of the lease term, the Company recognizes lease liabilities for leases other than short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of outstanding lease payments. Lease payments include: Fixed payments (including actual fixed payments), if there is a lease incentive, deduct the relevant amount of the lease incentive; Variable lease payments that depend on an index or ratio; The expected payment according to the residual value of the guarantee provided by the Company; The exercise price of the purchase option, provided that the Company is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised; Payments for exercising the option to terminate the lease, provided that the lease term reflects that the Company will exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company uses the interest rate implicit in the lease as the discount rate, but if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be reasonably determined, the Notes of Financial Report Page 43 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report Company's incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount rate. The Company calculates the interest expense of the lease liability in each period of the lease term according to the fixed periodic interest rate and includes it in the current profit and loss or the cost of related assets. Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are included in the current profit and loss or the cost of related assets when they are actually incurred. After the commencement date of the lease term, the Company shall re-measure the lease liabilities and adjust the corresponding right-of-use assets under the following circumstances. If the book value of the right-of-use assets has been reduced to zero, but the lease liabilities still need to be further reduced, the difference is included in the current profit and loss: When there is a change in the evaluation results of the purchase option, lease renewal option or termination option, or when the actual exercise of the aforementioned options is inconsistent with the original evaluation result, the Company shall calculate the lease payment amount after the change and the revised discounted value. Remeasure the lease liability at the present value of the rate calculation; When the actual fixed payment changes, the estimated payable amount of the guaranteed residual value changes, or the index or ratio used to determine the lease payment changes, the Company re-measures the lease liability at the present value of the changed lease payments and the original discount rate. However, where changes in lease payments resulting from changes in floating interest rates, a revised discount rate is used to calculate the present value. (3) Short-term leases and low-value asset leases The Company chooses not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and low-value asset leases, and includes the relevant lease payments in the current profit and loss or related asset costs on a straight-line basis over each period of the lease term. Short-term leases refer to leases with a lease term of not more than 12 months and excluding purchase options on the Notes of Financial Report Page 44 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report commencement date of the lease term. A low-value asset lease refers to a lease with a lower value when a single-leased asset is a brand-new asset. If the Company subleases or expects to sublease the leased assets, the original lease is not a low- value asset lease. (4) Lease changes If the lease changes and the following conditions are met at the same time, the Company will account for the lease change as a separate lease: The lease modification expands the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more leased assets; The increased consideration is equivalent to the amount adjusted by the individual price of the expanded part of the lease scope according to the contract. If the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, on the effective date of the lease modification, the Company re-allocates the consideration of the modified contract, re-determines the lease term, and re-calculates the lease liability based on the present value of the modified lease payments and the revised discount rate. If the lease modification leads to the narrowing of the lease scope or the shortening of the lease term, the Company will reduce the book value of the right-of-use assets accordingly, and include the relevant gains or losses on partial or complete termination of the lease into the current profit and loss. If other lease changes result in re-measurement of lease liabilities, the Company adjusts the book value of the right-of-use assets accordingly. 2. The Company as a lessor On the lease commencement date, the Company classifies leases into financial leases and operating leases. A financial lease is a lease that essentially transfers almost all the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the leased asset, regardless of whether ownership is ultimately transferred. Operating leases refer to leases other than financial leases. When the Company acts as a sublease lessor, it classifies the sublease based on the right-of-use asset arising from the original lease. Notes of Financial Report Page 45 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report (1) Accounting treatment of operating leases The Company recognizes lease receipts from operating leases as rental income using the straight-line method for each period of the lease term. Initial direct costs capitalized in connection with operating leases are amortized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income is recognized and are recognized in current profit and loss. Variable lease payments not included in the amount of lease receipts are recognized in current profit and loss when they are actually incurred. When there is a change in operating leases, the Company accounts for it as a new lease from the effective date of the change, and the amount of lease receipts received in advance or receivable in relation to the lease prior to the change is treated as a receipt under the new lease. (2) Accounting treatment of financial lease On the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes the financial lease receivables for the financial lease and derecognizes the financial lease assets. When the Company initially measures the financial lease receivables, the net investment in the lease is regarded as the entry value of the financial lease receivables. The net lease investment is the sum of the unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the lease receipts not yet received at the commencement date of the lease term, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. The Company calculates and recognizes interest income over the lease term at a fixed periodic rate. Derecognition and impairment of finance lease receivables are accounted for in accordance with Note “V. 10. Financial assets and financial liabilities". Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of net investment in leases are charged to current profit and loss when actually incurred. If the financial lease is changed and the following conditions are met at the same time, the Company will account for the change as a separate lease: The change expands the scope of the lease by increasing the right to use one or more of the leased assets; Notes of Financial Report Page 46 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report The increased consideration is equivalent to the amount adjusted by the individual price of the expanded part of the lease scope according to the contract. If the modification of a financial lease is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Company shall deal with the modified lease under the following circumstances: If the change had been effective on the inception date of the lease and the lease would have been classified as an operating lease, the Company shall account for it as a new lease from the effective date of the lease change and use the net investment in the lease prior to the effective date as the book value of the leased asset; If the change had been effective at the inception date of the lease and the lease would have been classified as a finance lease, the Company shall account for it in accordance with the policy on modification or renegotiation of contracts as described in Note “III. (X) Financial tools”. (XXVIII) Debt restructuring 1. The Company as creditor The Company shall terminate the recognition of creditor's rights when the contractual right to receive cash flow from creditor's rights terminates. If debt restructuring is carried out by means of paying off debts with assets or converting debts into equity instruments, the Company shall recognize the relevant assets when they meet their definition and recognition conditions. When debt restructuring is carried out by means of liquidating debts with assets, the Company shall measure the transferred non-financial assets at cost when initially recognizing them. The cost of inventory includes the fair value of the waiver of creditor's rights and other costs directly attributable to the asset, such as taxes, transportation fees, loading and unloading fees, insurance premiums, etc., which are incurred to bring the asset to its current position and state. The cost of investing in an associate or joint venture includes the fair value of the waiver of claims and other costs such as taxes directly attributable to the asset. The cost of investment real estate includes the fair value of abandoned creditor's rights and other costs such as taxes directly attributable to the asset. The cost of fixed assets includes the Notes of Financial Report Page 47 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report fair value of waiving creditor's rights and other costs that can be directly attributed to the assets, such as taxes, transportation fees, loading and unloading fees, installation fees, professional service fees, etc. The cost of biological assets includes the fair value of waived creditor's rights and other costs such as taxes, transportation fees and insurance premiums that can be directly attributed to the assets. The cost of intangible assets includes the fair value of the waiver of claims and other costs that can be directly attributable to taxes and other costs incurred in making the assets achieve their intended purposes. If debt restructuring by converting debt into equity instruments causes creditors to convert their creditor's rights into equity investment in joint ventures or joint ventures, the Company shall measure its initial investment cost according to the fair value of abandoned creditor's rights and other costs such as taxes directly attributable to the assets. The difference between the fair value and the book value of the abandoned creditor's rights is included in the current profits and losses. In case of debt restructuring by modifying other clauses, the Company shall recognize and measure the restructured creditor's rights according to "III, (X) Financial tools" in this note. In case of debt restructuring by means of paying off debts or combining multiple assets, the Company first recognizes and measures the transferred financial assets and restructured creditor's rights according to "III. (X) Financial Instruments" in this note, and then distributes the net amount of the fair value of the abandoned creditor's rights after deducting the confirmed amount of the transferred financial assets and restructured creditor's rights according to the fair value ratio of various assets other than the transferred financial assets, and determines the cost of each asset according to the aforesaid method. The difference between the fair value and the book value of the abandoned creditor's rights shall be included in the profits and losses of the current period. 2. The Company as debtor The Company shall terminate the recognition of the debt when the current obligation of the debt is discharged. If debt restructuring is carried out by means of paying off debts with assets, the Notes of Financial Report Page 48 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report Company shall derecognize the relevant assets and the paid-off debts when they meet the conditions for derecognition, and the difference between the book value of the paid-off debts and the book value of the transferred assets shall be included in the profits and losses of the current period. In case of debt restructuring by converting debts into equity instruments, the Company shall derecognize the debts paid off when they meet the conditions for derecognition. When the Company initially recognizes equity instruments, it shall measure them according to the fair value of equity instruments. If the fair value of equity instruments cannot be reliably measured, it shall be measured according to the fair value of debts paid off. The difference between the book value of the debt paid off and the amount recognized by the equity instrument shall be included in the profits and losses of the current period. In case of debt restructuring by modifying other terms, the Company shall recognize and measure the restructured debt according to "III. (X) Financial Instruments" in this note. If debt restructuring is carried out by means of paying off debts or combining multiple assets, the Company shall recognize and measure equity instruments and restructured debts according to the aforesaid methods, and the difference between the book value of the paid-off debts and the book value of the transferred assets and the sum of the recognized amounts of equity instruments and restructured debts shall be included in the profits and losses of the current period. (XXIX) Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates Major accounting estimates and judgements When preparing financial statements, the Company's Management needs to use estimates and assumptions, which will affect the application of accounting policies and the amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual conditions may differ from these estimates. The Management of the Company continuously evaluates the judgment of key assumptions and uncertainties involved in the estimation, and the impact of changes in accounting estimates will be recognized in the current and future periods. Notes of Financial Report Page 49 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report The main uncertainties in the estimated amount are as follows: 1. Measurement of expected credit losses The Company calculates the expected credit loss through the default risk exposure and the expected credit loss rate, and determines the expected credit loss rate based on the default probability and the default loss rate. When determining the expected credit loss rate, the Company uses internal historical credit loss experience and other data, and adjusts the historical data in combination with current conditions and forward-looking information. When considering forward-looking information, the indicators used by the Company include the risk of economic downturn, the expected increase in unemployment rate, changes in the external market environment, technological environment and customer conditions. The Company regularly monitors and reviews assumptions related to the calculation of expected credit losses. 2. Provision for decline in value of inventories As mentioned in Note “III. (XI) Inventory” , the Company regularly estimates the net realizable value of the inventory, and recognizes the difference in inventory cost higher than the net realizable value. When estimating the net realizable value of inventory, the Company considers the purpose of holding the inventory and uses the available information as the basis for estimation, including the market price of the inventory and the Company's past operating costs. The actual selling price, completion cost, sales expenses and taxes of the inventory may change according to changes in market sales conditions, production technology, or the actual use of the inventory. Therefore, the amount of inventory depreciation reserve may change according to the above reasons. Adjustments to the inventory impairment will affect the current profit and loss. 3. Impairment of other assets except inventory and financial assets As mentioned in Note “III. (XVIII) Long-term Asset Impairment”, the Company performs an impairment assessment on assets other than inventory and financial assets on the balance sheet date to determine whether the recoverable amount of the asset has fallen to a lower level than its book value. If the situation shows that the book value of the long-term assets may not be fully recovered, the relevant assets will be deemed to be impaired and the impairment loss will be recognized accordingly. Notes of Financial Report Page 50 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report The recoverable amount is the higher of the net value of the fair value of the asset (or asset group) minus the disposal expenses and the present value of the asset (or asset group) 's expected future cash flow. Because the Company cannot reliably obtain the public market price of assets (or asset groups), and cannot reliably and accurately estimate the fair value of assets. Therefore, the Company regards the present value of the expected future cash flow as the recoverable amount. When estimating the present value of future cash flows, it is necessary to make a significant judgment on the output, selling price, related operating costs of the products produced by the asset (or asset group), and the discount rate used in calculating the present value. The Company will use all available relevant information when estimating the recoverable amount, including the prediction of output, selling price and related operating costs based on reasonable and supportable assumptions. 4. Depreciation and amortization of assets such as fixed assets and intangible assets As described in Note “III. (XIV) Fixed assets” and Note “III. (XVII) Intangible assets”, the Company shall accrue depreciation for the fixed assets and amortization for intangible assets within the useful life after considering their residual values. The Company regularly reviews the useful life of related assets to determine the amount of depreciation and amortization expenses to be included in each reporting period. The useful life of assets is determined by the Company based on past experience with similar assets and in combination with anticipated technological changes. If the previous estimates change significantly, the depreciation and amortization expenses will be adjusted in the future. 5. Deferred income tax assets When it is estimated that sufficient taxable income will be available in future periods to utilize the unrecovered tax losses and deductible temporary differences, the Company calculates and recognizes the related deferred income tax asset to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which the unrecovered tax losses and deductible temporary differences can be utilized, and on the basis of the income tax rate applicable to the period in which the asset is expected to be recovered. The Company is required to use judgment to estimate the timing and amount of future taxable income and to make reasonable estimates and judgments about the applicable future income tax rates in accordance with current tax policies and other relevant policies to determine the amount of deferred income tax assets to be recognized. If the timing and amount of actual Notes of Financial Report Page 51 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report profits to be generated in future periods or the actual applicable income tax rate differs from the Management's estimates, such differences will have an impact on the amount of deferred income tax assets. (XXX) Changes in significant accounting policies and accounting estimates 1. Changes in significant accounting policies (1) Implementation of the regulation that “Accounting treatment for deferred income tax relating to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction for which no exemption from initial recognition applies” in Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 16. On November 30th , 2022, the Ministry of Finance issued Interpretation of Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 16 (Cai Kuai [2022] No. 31, hereinafter referred to as "Interpretation No. 16"), in which "Accounting treatment for deferred income tax relating to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction for which no exemption from initial recognition applies" is effective from January 1st , 2023; "Accounting treatment for the income tax effect of dividends related to financial instruments classified as equity instruments by the issuer" and "Accounting treatment for an enterprise that modifies a cash-settled share-based payment to an equity-settled share-based payment" is effective from the date of publication. Interpretation No. 16 on single transactions (including lease transactions in which the lessee initially recognizes a lease liability at the inception date of the lease and records it in the right-of-use asset, and transactions in which an estimated liability is recognized and recorded in the cost of the related asset because of the existence of an abandonment obligation, such as a fixed asset, etc., hereinafter referred to as single transactions to which this interpretation applies) that are not business combinations, that affect neither accounting profit nor taxable income(or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction and where the initial recognition of assets and liabilities results in taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences in equal amounts, and the provisions in Articles 11 (2) and 13 of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 18 - Income Tax concerning the exemption of deferred income tax liabilities and deferred income tax assets for Notes of Financial Report Page 52 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd.

The enterprise should recognize the corresponding deferred income tax liabilities and deferred income tax assets for the taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities for the transaction when the transaction occurs, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 18 - Income Tax and other relevant regulations, respectively. In case of taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences arising from individual transactions applicable to the provisions between the beginning of the earliest period reported in the financial statements for the first time and the implementation date, as well as lease liabilities and right-to-use assets recognized due to the individual transactions applicable to the provisions at the beginning of the earliest period reported in the financial statements, and estimated liabilities related to disposal obligations and corresponding related assets recognized, the enterprise shall make adjustments in accordance with the provisions.

Risks associated with financial instruments The Company's principal financial instruments include investments in other equity instruments, borrowings, receivables and payables, and a detailed description of each financial instrument is set out in Note VI. The risks associated with these financial instruments, and the risk management policies adopted by the Company to mitigate these risks, are described below. These risk exposures are managed and monitored by the Company’s management to ensure that the above risks are kept within limits. Notes of Financial Report Page 117 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report The Company's objectives in engaging in risk management are to strike an appropriate balance between risk and return, to minimise the negative impact of risk on the Company's operating performance and to maximise the interests of shareholders and other equity investors. Based on these risk management objectives, the Company's basic strategy for risk management is to identify and analyse the various risks to which the Company is exposed, establish appropriate risk tolerance limits and manage the risks, as well as monitor the various risks in a timely and reliable manner to keep the risks within the limits. 1. Credit risk At December 31st, 2023, the largest exposure to credit risk that could give rise to financial losses for the Company arises primarily from losses incurred on the Company's financial assets as a result of the failure of the other party to the contract to perform its obligations, specifically: The book value of financial assets is recognised in the consolidated balance sheet; for financial instruments measured at fair value, the book value reflects the risk exposure but is not the maximum exposure and its maximum exposure will change with future changes in fair value. In order to mitigate credit risk, the Company has established a dedicated department to determine credit limits, perform credit approvals and implement other monitoring procedures to ensure that the necessary measures are taken to collect overdue claims. In addition, the Company reviews the collection of each individual receivable at each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate provisions for bad debts are made for uncollectible amounts. As a result, the Company's management believes that the Company's exposure to credit risk has been significantly reduced. The Company's working fund is placed with financial institutions with high credit ratings and therefore it is a low-credit risk working fund. 2. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring that it has sufficient financial liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due without incurring unacceptable losses or causing damage to its corporate reputation, and it Notes of Financial Report Page 118 Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd. FY 2023 Notes of Financial Report regularly analyses the structure and maturity of its liabilities to ensure that sufficient funds are available. The Company's management monitors the use of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with borrowing agreements. At the same time, the Company negotiates financing with financial institutions to maintain a certain credit limit and mitigate liquidity risk. 3. Market risk The market risk of financial instruments refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of financial instruments fluctuates due to market price changes, including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks. (1) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations of fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument due to market rate changes. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is cash flow interest risk primarily arising from variable-rate bank balances and variable-rate borrowings. Currently, the Company does not have a specific policy to manage its interest rate risk. The management will carefully choose financing methods, and combine fixed interest rates with variable interest rates, and short-term obligations with long- term obligations. By using effective interest rate risk management methods, the Company closely monitors interest rate risk, controls the size of variable-rate borrowings and will consider interest-rate swaps to acquire an expected structure of interest rates shall the need arise. (2) Exchange rate risk Exchange rate risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value of financial instruments or future cash flows due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to exchange rate risk relates primarily to USD, HKD, JPY and EUR. Except for a small amount of purchases of raw materials and sales of finished goods which are settled in USD, HKD, JPY and EUR, the Company's other major business activities are settled in RMB. As at December 31st, 2023, the assets or liabilities described in the table below are the balances of items expressed in USD, HKD, JPY and EUR.

Disclosure of fair value The values input of fair value measurement are divided into three layers: The first layer input value is the unadjusted quotation of the same assets or liabilities that can be obtained on the measurement day in the active market. The second layer input value is the directly or indirectly observable input value of the related assets or liabilities in addition to the first layer input value. The third layer input value is the unobservable input value of the related assets or liabilities. The layer of fair value measurement results is determined by the lowest level of the input value which is of great significance to the fair value measurement as a whole.
