Section III Management’s Discussion and Analysis I. Industry Situation during the Reporting Period In 2023, the world economy recovered sluggishly and struggled to move forward amid the turmoil as a result of intensified international geopolitical conflicts and complicated global development and security situations. The year of 2023 marks the start of fully implementing the guiding principles of the 20th CPC National Congress. Superpower games a nd capital winter have posed great challenges to the bio-pharmaceutical industry in China. The pharmaceutical industry in China has also entered the stage of accelerated adjustment, and the pharmaceutical R&D, production and management structure in China is undergoing a historic reconstruction. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has always given strategic priority to safeguarding people’s health, included the deepening of medical reform in the all-round deepening of reform, facilitated the transformation from “centering on disease curing” to “centering on people’s health”, and launched a series of important reform measures revolving around two key challenges of “difficulty and high cost of getting medical services”, with remarkable phased results achieved. In 2023, China’s volume- based procurement of medicines was institutionalized and normalized. The optimization of rules for centralized bulk purchase was gradually weakened the impacts on the i ndustry and the mechanism for dynamic adjustment of health insurance directory got increasingly mature. Medical insurance negotiations on innovative medicines were normalized, further accelerating the commercialization of Chinese innovative medicines. The reform of payment method was accelerated and DRG mode further drove the revolution of the industry. Laws, regulations and policy systems that motivate innovation in medicines were optimized at an accelerated pace. The National Medical Products Administration continuously deepened the reform of review and approval systems, accelerated the launching of new medicines in urgent need for clinical purpose, as well as medicines for rare diseases and children, and supported the pharmaceutical innovation to continuously inject vitality into R&D and innovation of medicines in China. Due to increasing influence from clinical values, pharmaceutical enterprises began to pay increasing attention to R&D and innovation of medicines. The development of innovative medicines is becoming a n 19 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. important link that drives the new quality productive forces. Since the 14th Five-year Plan Period, the R&D input throughout the industry in China has witnessed a mean annual growth of over 20%, pushing China to the second place in the world in terms of number of new medicines. China witnessed continuously enhanced strength in R&D of innovative medicines and contributed more to global medicine R&D, receiving international recognition and seeing constantly increased international competitiveness and influence. China continuously made positive progresses in overseas registration and commercialization of its local new medicines, and hit a new high in the number of varieties with externally licensed technologies and transaction amount. The pharmaceutical industry in China has stepped up a new level in international operation and entered the key period for independent innovation-driven transformation and innovation. In July 2023, ten ministries and commissions including the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China printed and issued the Guiding Opinions on Carrying out the Centralized Rectification of Corruption in the Pharmaceutical Industry in China, launching the one-year national centralized rectification of corruption in the p harmaceutical industry. The campaign is aimed at systematically rectify problems in production, supply, sales, use, reimbursement, “critical minorities” and other key links in the pharmaceutical industry, with all chains and fields covered. With unprecedented input, the anti-corruption campaign helps to create a compliant industry environment, regularize enterprises’ operations, facilitate the benign competition among enterprises, and reshape the industrial order. In 2023, major economic indicators in China’s pharmaceutical industry witnessed year-on- year decline caused by such factors as decreased sales of products related to prevention and control of special health events, reduced prices of medicines, and rising prices of raw materials. According to National Bureau of Statistics, in 2023, the added value of the pharmaceutical industry above designated size was about 1.3 trillion yuan, down 5.2% year on year in constant price. Enterprises above designated size achieved 2.95525 trillion yuan of operating revenue and 412.72 billion yuan of profits, down 4% and 16.2% year on year, respectively. The growth rates of the aforesaid three indicators were negative for the first time over the years. The business differentiation of enterprises became more serious under the backdrop of overall decline in the growth rate of the industry. 20 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. II.

Prospect of Future Development (I) Prospect of macro-economy and trend of the pharmaceutical industry From the perspective of macro-economic background, the world is still in a period of turbulence and change in 2023, with intensified international geopolitical conflicts and continued high inflation. The growth of most major economies slowed down, global economic development faced rising complexity, severity and uncertainty, and adverse impacts of external environment on China’s development continued to increase. Nevertheless, China’s economy withstood severe external situation and downward pressure. In 2023, China’s national economy moved forward steadily and the overall economy showed a favorable trend of recovery despite multiple influences of geopolitical conflicts, economic downturn and shrinking demands. According to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023 was 126.0582 trillion yuan, up 5.2% year on year. With regard to the demands of the pharmaceutical industry, people’s health care awareness was enhanced and medical insurance systems of various countries were continuously improved as the world economy develops, the total population grows, population aging keeps accelerating, and the prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases continuously increases. The global pharmaceutical markets showed a trend of continuous growth. IQVIA data shows that the global medicine expenditures were about 1.6 trillion US dollars in 2023, and it is estimated that the figure will reach 2.3 trillion US dollars in 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of 5–8% (including increase of expenditures for COVID-19 vaccines and treatment. Main factors driving the growth include: the contribution of new medicines, the impact of expiration of patents, and the growing impact of biosimilar medicines. The key growth area in the next five years is biomedicine that accounts for 39% of the global expenditures. Although the growth rate slowed down to 9.5–12.5%, the global biomedicine expenditure is expected to exceed 890 billion US dollars by 2028. By 2028, the CAGRs of the world’s top two therapeutic fields — anti-tumor medicines and immune system medicines — will increase by 14–17% and 2–5% respectively. It is expected that about 100 new therapies will 78 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. emerge in the anti-tumor field within five years and the market size of anti-tumor medicines is expected to be 440 billion US dollars by 2028. Affected by the steady increase in the number of patients and launching of new medicines, the market size of autoimmune medicines is expected to reach 192 billion US dollars by 2028 as competitions brought by the launching of biosimilar medicines are continuously offset. GLP-1 agonist has been extensively applied in the fields of diabetes and obesity. By 2028, the expenditure on diabetes will reach about 184 billion US dollars, being expected to be the world’s third largest treatment field. The growth rate in the next five years is expected to reach 3–6%. As estimated by IQVIA, the expenditures of medicines in China will increase from 103 billion US dollars in 2014 to about 163 billion US dollars in 2023. In 2023, RLD accounted for 29% of the total medicine expenditure, the proportion being 20% five years ago. In the next five years, it is expected that the update of China’s medical insurance reimbursement list will promote more newly launched RLDs to be included in the medical insurance, promoting higher expenditure scale. More and more RLDs are developed by local enterprises in China rather than multinational pharmaceutical companies. Such a mode reshapes the Chinese market and has influenced China and other countries. Over the past five years, the CAGR of RLDs in China was up to 8.5%. It is estimated that the CAGR of RLDs will exceed 7.5% in the next five years, while the CAGR of other medicines will be 6% or lower, slowing down the total growth rate to 2–5%. Non-RLD brand medicines are the second largest part of medicine expenditures in China. It is estimated that these medicine expenditures will increase by less than 1% each year due to cost control of hospitals. In the coming five years, China’s medicine expenditure is expected to increase by about 30 billion US dollars, and will exceed 197 billion US dollars by 2028. (II) Industrial development trend 1. Pharmaceutical industry in China The pharmaceutical industry is a strategic industry related to the national policies, people’s livelihood, economic development, and national security, and an important part of China’s national economy. The medical demands keep increasing as Chinese people’s living standards improve, population aging intensifies, urbanization further accelerates, people’s medical care awareness improves, facilitation of medical services increases, and the prevalence of chronic diseases continuously raises. During the new medical system reform, China further increases 79 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. input in medical insurances and the expansion of medical insurances stimulates medical demands, thus driving the continuous development of the pharmaceutical industry in China. Generally speaking, the future development of the pharmaceutical industry shows a favorable trend, and the industry enjoys broad space for development. The pharmaceutical industry in China continuously steps toward the high-quality development as its macroeconomic situation improves, the national medical security system is gradually optimized, residents’ health awareness is further enhanced, medicine supply modes become more diversified, and demands for medicines grow. From the perspective of industrial policies, the pharmaceutical industry in China is highly dependent on policies. Under the backdrop of the continuous deepening of the medical syste m reform in China, the key of current pharmaceutical industry in China still lies in control of medical insurance costs. The scope of volume-based procurement has been continuously expanded and the medicine review system has been further optimized since 2023. Policies are enacted to encourage pharmaceutical enterprises to research and develop new medicines. The national insurance drug list has been adjusted and normalized, with commercialization of new medicines facilitated. All these together advance the innovation-driven transformation and high- quality development of the pharmaceutical industry. In recent years, the medical reform featuring linkage of medical insurance, medicine and medical treatment has been continuously advanced, further driving the constantly standardized development of the industry. Among them, the pharmaceutical policies are enacted to guide and standardize the industrial devel opment in an all- round way from such dimensions as medicine R&D, marketing review, rational administration, and quality supervision and control considering the actual conditions of the supply side. Moreover, medical anti-corruption policies all raise higher requirements on the standardized development of the pharmaceutical industry. The aforesaid policies have advanced the promotion of medicine quality, driven the overall upgrade of the industry, optimized the industrial structure, and provided guidance for the high-quality and high-standard overall development of the pharmaceutical industry in China. The trend of innovative R&D shows that emerging bio-pharmaceutical companies in China have constantly advanced the development of clinical trials and Chinese p harmaceutical companies have witnessed vigorous improvement in the level of innovative R&D. According to the statistics of IQVIA, the participation of China-headquartered pharmaceutical companies in 80 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. clinical trials continues to increase, with their shares increased from 1% in 2008 and 3% in 2013 to 28% in 2023. In recent five years, the total number of global new medicines launched in China has surpassed that in four European countries (Germany, France, Spain and Italy) and U.K., second only to the U.S. The significant increase in the number of new active substances (NAS) launched in China means that China has begun to narrow the gap with other major countries and regions, with more new medicines launched in Chinese market at a faster pace. From the perspective of breakthroughs in the field of diseases and new technology platforms, there are ceaseless breakthroughs in the field of diseases represented by GLP-1 and new technology platforms represented by ADC. Chinese enterprises enjoy comparative advantages in competition. The underlying logic driven by innovation in the field of innovative medicines will not change and breakthroughs in the field of diseases, such as GLP-1, AD and NASH, are expected to be made in terms of indications in markets in addition to tumors. Breakthroughs in innovation of technology platforms are represented by ADC, CAR-T, nuclear medicines, gene editing, etc., with global frontier progresses constantly mapped to China. 2. Aesthetic medicine In 2023, the growth rate of the aesthetic medicine market in China gradually slowed down and the market competition became increasingly fierce as more and more enterprises entered the market. However, the aesthetic medicine market in China enjoys huge potential of growth in the long run. According to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, China’s per capita disposable income was 39,218 yuan in 2023, a nominal increase of 6.3% over the previous year. According to Frost & Sullivan, the size of the aesthetic medicine market in China will reach 638.2 billion yuan in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 14.5% from 2021 to 2030. As education and training on the aesthetic medicine market in China keep deepening, an increasing number of emerging aesthetic medicines enter the market to satisfy patients’ diverse demands. Moreover, consumers raise their demands for anti-wrinkle and anti-aging, and depend more on brand effect, which are expected to steadily expand the size of the aesthetic medicine market in China. The proportion of non-surgical projects continues to increase and its market scale expands gradually. According to the statistics of iResearch, the market share of non-surgical projects is expected to increase to 55.5% by 2025. Non-surgical aesthetic medicine projects are mainly 81 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. comprised of injection-based aesthetic medicine projects and photoelectric aesthetic medicine projects. Among them, hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxins are mainstream materials for injection-based projects, followed by collagen injections and regenerative materials. Hyaluronic acids feature higher product homogeneity and increasingly fierce competitions, while botulinum toxins have lower penetration rate in China and enjoy huge market space restricted by high barriers and strict approval procedures. Therefore botulinum toxins have attracted increasing number of enterprises and there are expected to be more new products launched to fill in the market gap. According to Frost & Sullivan, the scale of admission price of botulinum toxins in Chinese market was 6.5 billion yuan in 2022 and is expected to reach 12.6 billion yuan in 2025, with a CAGR of 25%. The vigorous development of the aesthetic medicine market went with multiple chaos. In recent years, the aesthetic medicine market in China has been under constant, normalized and strong regulation. On May 4, 2023, eleven ministries and commissions including the State Administration for Market Regulation jointly printed and issued the Guiding Opinions on Further Strengthening the Regulation of the Aesthetic Medicine Industry (“the Opinions”). The Opinions highlights and emphasized trans-ministry comprehensive supervision, clearly requires to include aesthetic medicine diagnosis and treatment activities, business activities related to aesthetic medicine, as well as medicines and medical devices for aesthetic medicine into comprehensive matters under regulation, and clears away “institutions without license”, “physicians without license” and “medical devices without license”. In addition, Chinese tax authorities have also placed their focus on tax declaration of aesthetic medicine institutions, severely punished those without non-compliances, and strengthened their efforts in regulation, thus ensuring the healthy development of the aesthetic medicine industry. Such measures are conductive to facilitating the reshuffle of the industry, increasing the market concentration, and promoting the compliant and healthy development of the industry. Leading aesthetic medicine enterprises with strong brand effects will usher in a new growth space in a fairer competition atmosphere.

(V) Possible Risks and Countermeasures 1. Change of industry policy and risk of product price reduction The pharmaceutical industry is a strategic industry supported and developed in China, which is closely related to people’s health and life safety. Being highly competitive and innovative, it needs to constantly adapt to market changes and policy adjustment. In recent years, the pharmaceutical industry has been gradually standardized, normalized and systematized as suc h policies as volume-based procurement and medical insurance negotiation are constantly advanced. In the meantime, such external factors as geopolitics and macroeconomic policies also disturb enterprise management and market conditions, posing new challenges to the production cost and profitability of the pharmaceutical industry. Besides, there is a risk of price reduction of new medicines. Countermeasures: The Company has always paid great attention to national policies and industrial development, with corresponding adjustment made when necessary. In terms of R&D, the Company continues to increase its R&D input and improves its competitiveness and potential for future development by enriching product lines in core therapeutic fields. In the meantime, the Company actively expands the aesthetic medicine and industrial microbiology fields to create new growth points. In addition, the Company also reduces its production and operation risks through cost reduction, efficiency improvement, lean management, or by other means. 2. Risk in new medicine R&D Generally, it takes a long time for a new product to be launched from R&D to pre-clinical research, clinical trials, application for registration, production approval, commercialization and etc. The R&D progress is affected by such factors as national policies, market factors, and regulatory approval. In addition, the R&D of innovative medicines needs excellent R&D personnel with high education level. The investment of manpower and early R&D expenses will put some pressure on the Company to achieve its current business objectives. Meanwhile, new medicines will be tested by the market demands after launching and may face such risks as price reduction, which may result in return on R&D investment that is less than expected. Countermeasures: The Company focuses on its core therapeutic fields, continuously improves its capacity in independent R&D, keeps enriching and optimizing its product lines 89 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. through independent R&D + introduction, and fosters the R&D ecology unique to Huadong Medicine, with featured R&D matrices formed in the fields of oncology, endocrinology and autoimmunity. The Company will continue to optimize its innovation mechanism, constantly improve scientific research, evaluation and decision-making system for new medicines, and strengthen close partnership with well-known R&D institutions in and out of China. In the meantime, the Company inputs more to introduce high-level scientific research talents, enhances training and incentive for internal core technical staff, and endeavors to foster a high-level innovative R&D team that supports the complete cycle of innovative medicine R&D. 3. Risk in investment and merger Foreign investment is one of important ways of enterprise development. In recent years, the Company has continued to invest and do mergers and acquisitions in such fields as innovative medicines, aesthetic medicine and industrial microbiology, so as to form goodwill and realize the innovation and transformation development strategy. If the company acquired in the future faces the risk of performance fluctuation, there may be a risk of goodwill impairment, adversely affecting the Company’s current operation performance. At the same time, the post-investment management and business integration of the target company also put forward higher requirements for the management of the Company. Countermeasures: The Company will strive to comprehensively improve our capabilities in overall planning, management structure, financial management, overall operation and governance, and business integration; strengthen the resource sharing and synergy of acquired subsidiaries; regularly test the impairment of goodwill; and enhance comprehensive, scientific and timely post- investment management. 4. Risk in exchange rate fluctuation The Company has always been devoted to advancing its international development. In recent years, the Company increasingly develops international cooperation and exchanges, expands the sales network of aesthetic medicine in the world, and accelerates the development of its industrial microbiology segment, raising the proportion of foreign currency settlement business. The fluctuation in exchange rate will affect the price of the Company’s export products, cause exchange gains and losses to the Company, and increase the operating costs, thus affecting the 90 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. Company’s assets, liabilities and income, further its operation ability, debt repayment ability and profitability. Countermeasures: the Company will pay close attention to the fluctuation in exchange rate, adjust our business countermeasures in time according to its own situation, and resolve the adverse effects; develop the exchange risk awareness, and improve the foreign exchange risk management system; strengthen the training of financial personnel’s professional skills and risk awareness, enhance the awareness of risk avoidance, and make good use of financial means to avoid exchange rate risks.

S. (2024) No. 2117 Certified Public Accounts Name Hu Yanhua and Chen Xiaodong Text of the Audit Report Audit Report T. J. S. (2024) No. 2117 Shareholders of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd.: I. Audit Opinion We audited the financial statements of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Huadong Medicine”), including the consolidated and the parent company’s balance sheets as at December 31, 2023, the consolidated and the parent company’s income statements for the year 2023, the consolidated and the parent company’s cash flow statements, the consolidated and the parent company’s statements of changes in owners’ equity, and the notes to relevant fi nancial statements. In our opinion, the attached financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting standards for business enterprises in all material aspects and fairly reflect the consolidated and the parent company’s financial condition of Huadong Medicine as at December 31, 2023, as well as the consolidated and the parent company’s operating results and cash flows in 2023. II. Basis for Formation of the Audit Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with the China Registered Accountants Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor ’s 199 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. In accordance with the code of professional ethics for certified public accountants in China, we are independent of Huadong Medicine and have fulfilled other responsibilities in respect of professional ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate, providing a basis for auditor’s opinion. III. Key audit matters The key audit matters are those we consider most important to the audit of the financial statements for the current period in our professional judgment. The response to these items is based on an audit of the financial statements as a whole and the formation of auditor ’s opinion. We do not comment on these items separately. (I) Revenue recognition 1. Description The relevant information disclosure is detailed in Notes III (XXV), V (II) 1 and XV (I) to the financial statements. The operating revenue of Huadong Medicine mainly comes from the production and sales of medicines. The operating revenue of Huadong Medicine in 2023 was 40.624 billion yuan. As the operating revenue is one of the key performance indicators of Huado ng Medicine, there may be inherent risks for the management of Huadong Medicine (hereinafter referred to as the “Management”) to achieve specific goals or expectations through inappropriate revenue recognition. Therefore, we identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter. 2. Audit response For revenue recognition, the audit procedures we implemented mainly include: (1) Understanding the key internal controls related to revenue recognition, evaluating the design of these controls, determining whether they are implemented, and testing the operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls; (2) Reviewing the sales contract, understanding the main contract terms or conditions, and evaluating whether the revenue recognition method is appropriate; 200 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. (3) Analyzing the operating revenue and gross profit rate by month, product, region, etc., identifying whether there are significant or abnormal fluctuations, and ascertaining the reasons for the fluctuations; (4) For domestic sales revenue, choosing supporting documents for checked items, including sales contracts, orders, sales invoices, outbound delivery orders, shipping orders, shipping documents, customers’ signature form, and payment receipts. For overseas revenue, obtaining e- port information and checking with the accounting records, and checking the sales contracts, export declaration forms, bills of lading, sales invoices and other supporting documents by sampling; (5) In combination with accounts receivable confirmation, confirming the current sales of sampled items; (6) Carrying out a cut-off test and evaluating whether the operating revenue is recognized within an appropriate period; (7) Acquiring the sales return records after the balance sheet date and checking the unsatisfactoriness of revenue recognition conditions on balance sheet date; and (8) Checking whether the information relating to operating revenue has been properly presented in the financial statements. (II) Impairment of accounts receivable 1. Description The relevant information disclosure is detailed in Notes III (XI), (XII) and V (I) 4 to the financial statements. As of December 31, 2023, the book balance of accounts receivable of Huadong Medicine was 7.878 billion yuan, the bad debt reserve was 423 million yuan, and the book value was 7.455 billion yuan. Based on the credit risk characteristics of various accounts receivable and the individual account receivable or the combination of accounts receivable, the Management measured its loss reserve according to the expected credit loss equivalent to the entire duration. Due to the significant amount of accounts receivable and significant judgment of the Management involved 201 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. in the impairment of accounts receivable, we determined the impairment of accounts receivable as a key audit matter. 2. Audit response For the impairment of accounts receivable, the audit procedures we implemented mainly include: (1) Understanding the key internal controls related to the impairment of accounts receivable, evaluating the design of these controls, determining whether they are implemented, and testing the operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls; (2) With regard to the Management’s forecast on bad debt reserve in previous years, reviewing the results or follow-up forecasts made by the Management; (3) Reviewing the relevant considerations and objective evidence of the Management’s credit risk assessment of accounts receivable, and evaluating whether the Management has properly identified the credit risk characteristics of various accounts receivable; (4) For the accounts receivable with expected credit loss measured based on an individual item, reviewing the Management’s forecast of the expected cash flow received, evaluating the rationality, relevance and reliability of the key assumptions used in the forecast, and checking with the external evidence obtained; (5) For the accounts receivable with expected credit loss measured based on the combined items, evaluating the rationality of the Management’s division of combinations according to the credit risk characteristics; evaluating the rationality of the expected credit loss rate of accounts receivable determined by the Management, including the rationality of major assumptions used and the rationality, relevance and reliability of data; checking the accuracy of the Management’s calculation of bad debt reserve; (6) Evaluating the rationality of the Management’s bad debt reserve in combination with the confirmation of accounts receivable and repayment after the period; and (7) Checking whether the information relating to the impairment of accounts receivable has been properly presented in the financial statements. (III) Goodwill impairment 1. Description 202 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. The relevant information disclosure is detailed in Notes III (VI), III (XX) and V (I) 18 to the financial statements. As of December 31, 2023, the original book value of goodwill of Huadong Medicine was 2.603 billion yuan, the impairment reserve was 4 million yuan, and the book value was 2.599 billion yuan. The Management conducted the goodwill impairment test in combination with the relevant asset group or asset portfolio, and the recoverable amount of the relevant asset group or asset portfolio was determined by the present value of the expected future cash flow or the net amount of fair value minus the disposal expenses. Due to the significant amount of goodwill and the significant judgment of the Management involved in the goodwill impairment test, we determined the goodwill impairment as a key audit matter. 2. Audit response For the goodwill impairment, the audit procedures we implemented mainly include: (1) Understanding the key internal controls related to goodwill, evaluating the design of these controls, determining whether they are implemented, and testing the operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls; (2) With regard to the Management’s forecast on present value of the expected future cash flow in previous years, reviewing the results or follow-up forecasts made by the Management; (3) Understanding and evaluating the competence, professional quality and objectivity of external valuation experts employed by the Management; (4) Evaluating the rationality and consistency of the Management’s methods in the impairment test; (5) Evaluating the rationality of the key assumptions adopted by the Management in the impairment test, and verifying whether the relevant assumptions are consistent with the overall economic environment, industry conditions, operating conditions, historical experience, operating plans, approved budgets, meeting minutes, and other assumptions used by the Management in relation to the financial statements; (6) Testing the accuracy, completeness and relevance of the data used by the Management in the impairment test, and rechecking the internal consistency of the relevant information in the impairment test; 203 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. (7) Testing whether the Management’s calculation of the present value of expected future cash flows is accurate; (8) Checking whether the information relating to the goodwill impairment has been properly presented in the financial statements. IV. Other information The Management is responsible for other information, including information covered in the annual report, but not the financial statements and the auditor report. The auditor’s opinion on the financial statements does not cover other information, and we do not publish any form of corroborating conclusions on other information. In conjunction with our audit of the financial statements, it is our responsibility to read other information and, in doing so, consider whether other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or what we learned during the audit or appears to be materially misrepresented. Based on the work we have performed, if we determine that other information is materi ally misrepresented, we should report that fact. In this connection, we have nothing to report. V. Responsibility of the Management and governance for the financial statements The Management is responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards for business enterprises to achieve fair presentation and for designing, implementing and maintaining the necessary internal controls so that the financial statements are free from material misstatement due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Management is responsible for assessing Huadong Medicine’s competence for continuing operations, disclosing matters relating to continuing operations (if applicable) and applying the going concern assumption, unless liquidation and termination are planned or there is no other realistic alternative. Those charged with governance of Huadong Medicine is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. 204 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. VI. Responsibility of certified public accountants on the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor ’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of the audit in accordance with the audit sta ndards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the process. We also: (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 opinion. The risk of no t detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. (II) Understand the internal control associated with the audit to design appropriate audit procedures. (III) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the rationality of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management. (IV) Conclude on the appropriateness of using the going concern assumption by the Management, and conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Huadong Medicine’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, the auditing standards require us to draw attention to users of the financial statements in our auditor ’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate , to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause Huadong Medicine to cease to continue as a going concern. 205 The 2023 Annual Report of Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. (V) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. (VI) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of entities or business activities of Huadong Medicine to express auditor’s opinions on the financial statements. We are responsible for the guidance, supervision and implementation of group audits and take full responsibility for the auditor ’s opinions. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any 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 the professional ethical requirements associated with our independence, and communicate to those charged with governance all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be deemed to affect our independence, as well as relevant precautions (if applicable). From the matters communicated to those charged with governance, we determine which matters are most important to the current financial statement audit and thus constitute key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor report, unless laws and regulations prohibit their public disclosure or, in rare cases, if it is reasonably expected that the negative consequences of communicating a matter in the auditor report outweigh the benefits in the public interest, we determine that the matter should not be communicated in the auditor report.
