Page 8 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. Section III Management Discussion and Analysis I. The industry in which the Company operates during the reporting period The Company mainly operates in the fine chemical industry. Relying on the two core platforms of chemical and biology, it produces various functional chemicals, including nutrition, flavor and fragrance, new materials, and APIs. It has broad prospects in the future. Nutrition: With the growth and aging of the global population, the improvement of people’s living standards and their increased awareness of health, the demand for nutrition and health services and products keeps growing. The global nutrition market represented by vitamins and methionine maintains steady growth. Vitamins are trace organic substances essential to humans and animals. The market demand mainly comes from the downstream feed, food, medicine and other fields. The overall demand is growing steadily at a low speed. The supply concentration is high, and the market price has long-term cyclical fluctuations. As the largest producer of vitamins, China produced about 0.40 million tons of vitamins in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 3.70%, accounting for 81.80%1 of global production. In 2021, the domestic downstream market demand grew steadily, and the vitamin market was relatively prosperous. As the first-limiting amino acid of non-grain protein, methionine has great economical effects on poultry, dairy cows, pigs and aquaculture. In 2021, the global production of feed amino acids (lysine, methionine, threonine and tryptophan) totaled around 5.62 million tons, with a slight increase from the same period last year. The total output of feed methionine in China was around 3.44 million tons, at a year-on-year increase of 9.90%. In 2021, the global DL-methionine 99% production capacity was around 2.03 million tons, with a slight increase over the same period of last year, while the domestic methionine production capacity was around 0.48 million tons, at a year-on-year increase of 13.10%. The global increase in methionine mainly came from China. The global output was around 1.60 million tons, at a year-on-year increase of 3.00%, and the domestic output was around 0.37 million tons, at a year-on-year increase of 22.90%, accounting for 23% of the global output, with an increase of 5 percentage points from last year. The global demand was around 1.50 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 3.40%, and the domestic demand was around 0.39 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 11.40%. In the recent five years, the development of China’s methionine industry has accelerated, as a result, the production capacity and supply have tilted to the domestic market2. With the continuous recovery of the global economy and the rapid economic development of emerging countries, the demand for meat has grown steadily, which leads to the steady growth of the global feed production. As a result, the demand for methionine is significantly increased. Flavor and fragrance: After centuries of development, the global flavor and fragrance industry has gone through the era of the origin of fragrance, the era of bulk fragrance, the era of high-end fragrance, and the era of oligopoly3. The global market size has exceeded USD 30.00 billion and has been growing at a compound growth rate of 4%4 in recent years. In 2021, the market size of flavor and fragrance was estimated to be around USD 29.00 billion, and is expected to reach USD 37.30 billion in 2026, with a compound growth rate of 5.10%5. The growth of the flavor and fragrance market is mainly supported by the growing populations of emerging economies, such as China, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Brazil and South Africa. The industry is expected to continue to grow steadily in the future, and its future development prospects are promising. 1 The “2021 Vitamin Market Annual Analysis Report” by BOYAR 2 The “2021 Amino Acid Market Annual Analysis Report” by BOYAR 3 The “Analysis Report on China's Flavor and Fragrance Industry in 2021 - Industry Status Quo and Future Planning Analysis” by Insight and Info 4 Data from IAL Consulting Agency 5 MARKET and MARKET https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/flavors-fragrance-market-175163912.html#utm_source=Email&utm_medium= Mailgun-CH Page 9 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. New polymer materials: The “Guidelines under 14th Five-Year Plan and Vision for 2035” issued by the central government in 2020 pointed out that it is necessary to vigorously develop strategic emerging industries, accelerate the growth of a new generation of information technology, biotechnology, new energy, new materials, high-end equipment, new energy vehicles, green environmental protection, aerospace, marine equipment etc. According to the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, the value of global output of new chemical materials in 2019 reached USD 370.00 billion, and is expected to reach USD 480.00 billion by 2025, with a compound growth rate of 4.40% from 2019 to 2025. From an international perspective, as a strategic and fundamental industry, the development of the new material industry has become an important symbol for measuring the economic and technological strength of a country or region. Under the background of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial revolution, new technologies and new industries continue to generate huge demand for new materials. Breakthroughs in new material technologies and emergence of new materials and new substance structures continually increasing the supplies. The global new material industry is on the track of rapid growth. From a domestic perspective, China is experiencing a period of strategic transformation, and the strategic demand for new materials is more prominent, providing a rare historical opportunity for the development of the new material industry. However, in the R&D and production of advanced and high-end materials, there are still problems such as lack of innovation lack of coordination between innovation chain and industrial chain, lack of a risk-proof system covering the innovation chain, industrial chain and supply chain, etc., which fails to fully satisfy the needs of China’s economy and social development. China still has a long way to go in the road of new materials6. Benefiting from the huge domestic demand, the rapid development of new technologies and the support of national policies, some products broke through the key technology barriers, which provides us with a broad space for growth. APIs: API is the pillar industry of the domestic pharmaceutical industry and one of the key industries supported by government. At present, China is the world’s largest producer and exporter of APIs. Due to the supply imbalance caused by the pandemic and other factors, some European and American countries are also advocating to engaging in the API manufacturing, but it is foreseeable that in the wave of market globalization, the production advantages of APIs will still be concentrated in emerging countries such as China. China is a major producer and exporter of bulk APIs, and its production technology has reached the international advanced level. Most of the APIs are exported to foreign countries for processing into characteristic APIs and preparations. Due to the uncertainty caused by the global Covid-19 pandemic, the export of major API producing countries such as India and Italy is under pressure. As APIs are rigid demand, Chinese API companies have certain advantages in the global competition. Challenges always come with opportunities. We all know that China announced that it would reach carbon peak by 2030 and be carbon neutral by 2060 (known as double carbon target 3060). To reach the target, China is making solid progress to control the total volume and intensity of carbon emissions. The National Development and Reform Commission issued the Plan for Improving the Dual Control System of Energy Consumption Intensity and Total Volume, proposing to improve the dual control system, with a focus on the control of fossil energy consumption. The Comprehensive Work Plan on Energy Saving and Emission Reduction under the 14th Five-Year Plan proposes that by 2025, the national energy consumption per unit of GDP shall be reduced by 13.50% compared with 2020. Affected by the “double carbon target and dual control system”, the procurement of basic chemical raw materials faces challenges of rising cost, limited procurement channels, etc. The Company also faces challenges in project approval and power supply. In the future, the Company will ensure the supply of raw materials and inventory reserves by developing more qualified suppliers and choosing more green and sustainable products as raw materials. Besides, the Company insists on technological transformation and equipment innovation, strengthens end-of-line management, to achieve energy conservation and emission reductions. 6 “The 14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of New Materials Industry in Zhejiang Province” Page 10 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd.

Wastewater treatment: The Company has a complete sewage treatment system, with a wastewater collection system for production sewage, domestic sewage, initial rainwater and accident water to separate the clean water and rainwater from the sewage. The waste pool is sealed with a cover, and all the waste gases are effectively collected and eventually incinerated, which effectively reduces the emission of waste gas. Waste gas treatment: The Company adopts the self-developed nitrogen sealing system to effectively reduce the waste gas emission; it uses different pretreatment technologies according to the composition and nature of different waste gases, and introduces advanced foreign waste gas treatment devices to strengthen its waste gas treatment capacity. The Company carries out regular waste gas leak detection and repair (LDAR) every year to effectively supervise and reduce unorganized waste gases. The Company actively upgrades coal-fired thermal oil furnaces via the “coal to gas” conversion, introduces natural gas boilers, carries out low-NOx transformation, and adds SNCR denitrification facilities to the terminal to actively carry out NOx treatment. The Company operates and maintains the facilities of odor evaluation system, focuses all monitoring points and monitoring data on a daily basis, conducts trend analysis, tracking feedback on the reasons for data exceeding the standard in a timely manner, so as to basically realize that the odor can be warned, traced and evaluated. Solid waste disposal: The Company has a standardized temporary storage warehouse for hazardous wastes and hazardous waste incineration devices. The solid wastes entrusted for external treatment are transferred in strict accordance with the “Management Measures for the Transfer of Hazardous Wastes Using Quintuplicate Vouchers” and entrusted to qualified units for treatment. Noise prevention and control: The Company chooses low-noise equipment, and adopts the noise reduction measures of foundation damping for the equipment that does not need to be fixed. In addition to taking foundation damping for air compressors, blowers and various pumps, the Company also installs additional soundproof covers around the noise sources for sound insulation. Emergency management: The Company installs online waste gas monitors around the plant boundary to monitor the environment of the plant boundary in real time. It introduces VOC online monitors to monitor the gas emission data in real time and uploads the detection data to the monitoring platform. It monitors the waste water emission index in real time by waste water online monitoring system of “one enterprise one pipe” and upload it to the Bureau of Ecology and Environment. It introduces domestic first-class elevated flare technology to specifically deal with abnormal waste gas in the production process. It also introduces domestic first-class leak stoppage technology under pressure to reduce the abnormal leakage of pipelines, valves, flanges and tanks to the minimum, thus reducing the environmental impact caused by a large number of leaks.

Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not express a separate opinion on these matters. (I) Revenue recognition 1. Key audit matters Please refer to item V 20, VII 39 and XV 1 of this section for details. The Company is mainly engaged in manufacturing and sales of nutrition, flavor and fragrance, new polymer materials, etc. In 2021, the operating revenue amounted to 14,797.99 million yuan. Pursuant to sales contracts between the Company and its customers, sales of products are performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from domestic sales is recognized when the Company has delivered goods to the customer as agreed by contract and has obtained delivery note signed by the customer, and the Company has collected the payments or has obtained the right to the payments, and related economic benefits are highly probable to flow to the Company. Revenue from overseas sales is recognized Page 76 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. when the Company has declared goods to the customs based on contractual agreements and has obtained a bill of lading, and the Company has collected the payments or has obtained the right to the payments, and related economic benefits are highly probable to flow to the Company. Real estate sales are performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from real estate sales is recognized when the Company has delivered house property to the customer as agreed by contract and has obtained the acceptance receipts signed by the customer, and the Company has collected the payments or has obtained the right to the payments, and related economic benefits are highly probable to flow to the Company. As operating revenue is one of the key performance indicators of the Company, there might be inherent risks that the Company’s management (the “Management”) adopts inappropriate revenue recognition to achieve specific goals or expectations, we have identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter. 2. Responsive audit procedures Our main audit procedures for revenue recognition are as follows: (1) We obtained understandings of key internal controls related to revenue recognition, assessed the design of these controls, determined whether they had been executed, and tested the effectiveness of the operation; (2) We checked sale contracts, obtained understandings of main contractual terms or conditions, and assessed whether the revenue recognition method was appropriate; (3) We performed analysis procedure on operating revenue and gross margin by month, product, client, etc., so as to identify whether there are significant or abnormal fluctuations and find out the reason of fluctuations; (4) For revenue from domestic sales, we checked supporting documents related to revenue recognition by sampling method, including sales contracts, sales invoices, delivery lists, shipping documents, client acceptance receipts, etc.; for revenue from overseas sales, we obtained information from Electron Port and checked it with accounting records, and checked supporting documents including sales contracts, bills of clearance, waybills, sales invoices, etc. by sampling method; (5) We performed confirmation procedures on current sales amount by sampling method in combination with confirmation procedure of accounts receivable; (6) We performed cut-off tests on the operating revenue recognized around the balance sheet date, and assessed whether the operating revenue was recognized in the appropriate period; and (7) We checked whether information related to operating revenue had been presented appropriately in the financial statements. (II) Existence and integrity of cash and bank balances 1. Key audit matters Please refer to item VII 1 of this section for details. At the balance sheet date, the Company’s cash and bank balances amounted to 5,952.91 million yuan, which is one of the main assets of the Company. As the amount of cash and bank balances is significant, the existence and integrity of cash and bank balances have significant influence on financial statements, we have identified existence and integrity of cash and bank balances as a key audit matter. 2. Responsive audit procedures Our main audit procedures for existence and integrity of cash and bank balances are as follows: (1) We obtained understandings of key internal controls related to management of cash and bank balances, assessed the design of these controls, determined whether they had been executed, and tested the effectiveness of the operation; (2) We checked integrity of bank accounts in combination with detail tests based on “List of Opened Bank Settlement Accounts” obtained; Page 77 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. (3) We obtained and checked bank statements and bank reconciliation statements, and performed confirmation procedures on balance of bank accounts; (4) We checked bank statements and bank journals, performed bidirectional tests on bank statements of significant accounts, and checked the transactions with large amounts; (5) We checked the original documents of time deposit, and checked whether cash and bank balances have been pledged in combination with enterprise credit reports; (6) We reviewed interest income, and checked whether interest income was consistent with the amount of cash and bank balances; and (7) We checked whether information related to cash and bank balances had been presented appropriately in the financial statements. (III) Recognition and measurement of fixed assets and construction in progress 1. Key audit matters Please refer to item V 13, 14, VII 12 and 13 of this section for details. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s carrying amount of fixed assets and construction in progress totals 17,303.75 million yuan, which is one of the major assets of the Company. Recognition and measurement of fixed assets and construction in progress involves significant judgement of the Management including the determination of capitalization criteria for expenditures, time point of construction in progress transferred to fixed assets and the beginning of depreciation, estimation on economic useful lives and residual value of fixed assets, etc. As the amount of carrying amount of fixed assets and construction in progress is significant, and reasonableness of judgement mentioned above has significant influence on financial statements, we have identified recognition and measurement of fixed assets and construction in progress as a key audit matter. 2. Responsive audit procedures Our main audit procedures for recognition and measurement of fixed assets and construction in progress are as follows: (1) We obtained understandings of key internal controls related to fixed assets and construction in progress, assessed the design of these controls, determined whether they had been executed, and tested the effectiveness of the operation; (2) We checked the accuracy of capitalization amount in combination with the audit of bank borrowings; (3) We checked acceptance reports related to construction projects or project progress reports, payment documents of construction schedule payments, etc. by sampling method, and decided whether the time point of construction in progress transferred to fixed assets was reasonable; (4) We checked purchase invoices, insurance policy of sales contracts, delivery lists etc. of fixed assets such as outsourcing machinery, and reviewed the accuracy of their costs; (5) We obtained supporting documents related to construction in progress increased in the current period, including project application, construction loan contracts, construction contracts, invoices, purchase application for construction materials, payment bills, manufacturing agreements etc., and checked whether their costs and accounting treatment were correct; (6) We assessed the reasonableness of economic useful lives and residual value of fixed assets estimated by the Management in combination with conditions of the industry; and (7) We checked whether information related to fixed assets and construction in progress had been presented appropriately in the financial statements. Page 78 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. IV. Other Information The Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 preparing and presenting fairly the financial statements in accordance with China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, as well as designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. VI. Certified Public Accountant’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with China Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatement 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. We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit performed in accordance with China Standards on Auditing. 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 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. (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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our Page 79 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. 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 the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. (V) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. (VI) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain sole responsibility for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding the planned audit scope, time schedule and significant audit findings, including any deficiencies in internal control of concern that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

LTD. is the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate. 5. Accounting treatments of business combination under and not under common control 1. Accounting treatment of business combination under common control Assets and liabilities arising from business combination are measured at carrying amount of the combined party included in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the combination date. Difference between carrying amount of the equity of the combined party included in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party and that of the combination consideration or total par value of shares issued is adjusted to capital reserve, if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. 2. Accounting treatment of business combination not under common control When combination cost is in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets obtained from the acquiree at the acquisition date, the excess is recognized as goodwill; otherwise, the fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, and the measurement of the combination cost are reviewed, then the difference is recognized in profit or loss. 6. Compilation method of consolidated financial statements The parent company brings all its controlled subsidiaries into the consolidation scope. The consolidated financial statements are compiled by the parent company according to “CASBE 33 – Consolidated Financial Statements”, based on relevant information and the financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries. 7. Recognition criteria of cash and cash equivalents Cash as presented in cash flow statement refers to cash on hand and deposit on demand for payment. Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that can be readily converted to cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 8. Foreign currency translation 1. Translation of transactions denominated in foreign currency Transactions denominated in foreign currency are translated into RMB yuan at the approximate exchange rate similar to the spot exchange rate at the transaction date at initial recognition. At the balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currency are translated at the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date with difference, except for those arising from the principal and interest of exclusive borrowings eligible for capitalization, included in profit or loss; non-cash items carried at historical costs are translated at the approximate exchange rate similar to the spot exchange rate at the transaction date, with the RMB amounts unchanged; non-cash items carried at fair value in foreign currency are translated at the spot exchange rate at the date when the fair value was determined, with difference included in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. 2. Translation of financial statements measured in foreign currency The assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are translated into RMB at the spot rate at the balance sheet date; the equity items, other than undistributed profit, are translated at the spot rate at the transaction date; the revenues and expenses in the income statement are Page 96 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. translated into RMB at the approximate exchange rate similar to the spot exchange rate at the transaction date. The difference arising from the aforementioned foreign currency translation is included in other comprehensive income. 9. Financial instruments 1. Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets are classified into the following three categories when initially recognized: (1) financial assets at amortized cost; (2) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; (3) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified into the following four categories when initially recognized: (1) financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; (2) financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies; (3) financial guarantee contracts not fall within the above categories (1) and (2), and commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, which do not fall within the above category (1); (4) financial liabilities at amortized cost. 2. Recognition criteria, measurement method and derecognition condition of financial assets and financial liabilities (1) Recognition criteria and measurement method of financial assets and financial liabilities When the Company becomes a party to a financial instrument, it is recognized as a financial asset or financial liability. The financial assets and financial liabilities initially recognized by the Company are measured at fair value; for the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction expenses thereof are directly included in profit or loss; for other categories of financial assets and financial liabilities, the transaction expenses thereof are included into the initially recognized amount. However, at initial recognition, for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component or in circumstances where the Company does not consider the financing components in contracts within one year, the Company measures the transaction price in accordance with “CASBE 14 – Revenues”. (2) Subsequent measurement of financial assets 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost The Company measures its financial assets at the amortized costs using effective interest method. Gains or losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and are not part of hedging relationships shall be included into profit or loss when the financial assets are derecognized, reclassified, amortized using effective interest method or recognized with impairment loss. 2) Debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income The Company measures its debt instrument investments at fair value. Interests, impairment gains or losses, and gains and losses on foreign exchange that calculated using effective interest method shall be included into profit or loss, while other gains or losses are included into other comprehensive income. Accumulated gains or losses that initially recognized as other comprehensive income should be transferred out into profit or loss when the financial assets are derecognized. 3) Equity instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income The Company measures its equity instrument investments at fair value. Dividends obtained (other than those as part of investment cost recovery) shall be included into profit or loss, while other gains or losses are included into other comprehensive income. Accumulated gains or losses that initially recognized as other comprehensive income should be transferred out into retained earnings when the financial assets are derecognized. 4) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss The Company measures its financial assets at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value (including interests and dividends) shall be included into profit or loss, except for financial assets that are part of hedging relationships. (3) Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities 1) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives that are Page 97 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss. The Company measures such kind of liabilities at fair value. The amount of changes in the fair value of the financial liabilities that are attributable to changes in the Company’s own credit risk shall be included into other comprehensive income, unless such treatment would create or enlarge accounting mismatches in profit or loss. Other gains or losses on those financial liabilities (including interests, changes in fair value that are attributable to reasons other than changes in the Company’s own credit risk) shall be included into profit or loss, except for financial liabilities that are part of hedging relationships. Accumulated gains or losses that originally recognized as other comprehensive income should be transferred out into retained earnings when the financial liabilities are derecognized. 2) Financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies The Company measures its financial liabilities in accordance with “CASBE 23 – Transfer of Financial Assets”. 3) Financial guarantee contracts not fall within the above categories 1) and 2), and commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, which do not fall within the above category 1) The Company measures its financial liabilities at the higher of: a. the amount of loss allowances in accordance with impairment requirements of financial instruments; b. the amount initially recognized less the amount of accumulated amortization recognized in accordance with “CASBE 14 – Revenues”. 4) Financial liabilities at amortized cost The Company measures its financial liabilities at amortized cost using effective interest method. Gains or losses on financial liabilities that are measured at amortized cost and are not part of hedging relationships shall be included into profit or loss when the financial liabilities are derecognized and amortized using effective interest method. (4) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities 1) Financial assets are derecognized when: a. the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire; or b. the financial assets have been transferred and the transfer qualifies for derecognition in accordance with “CASBE 23 – Transfer of Financial Assets”. 2) Only when the underlying present obligations of a financial liability are relieved totally or partly may the financial liability be derecognized accordingly. 3. Recognition criteria and measurement method of financial assets transfer Where the Company has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset, it derecognizes the financial asset, and any right or liability arising from such transfer is recognized independently as an asset or a liability. If it retained substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset, it continues recognizing the financial asset. Where the Company does not transfer or retain substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of a financial asset, it is dealt with according to the circumstances as follows respectively: (1) if the Company does not retain its control over the financial asset, it derecognizes the financial asset, and any right or liability arising from such transfer is recognized independently as an asset or a liability; (2) if the Company retains its control over the financial asset, according to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset, it recognizes the related financial asset and recognizes the relevant liability accordingly. If the transfer of an entire financial asset satisfies the conditions for derecognition, the difference between the amounts of the following two items is included in profit or loss: (1) the carrying amount of the transferred financial asset as of the date of derecognition; (2) the sum of consideration received from the transfer of the financial asset, and the accumulative amount of the changes of the fair value originally included in other comprehensive income proportionate to the transferred financial asset (financial assets transferred refer to debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income). If the transfer of financial Page 98 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. asset partially satisfies the conditions to derecognition, the entire carrying amount of the transferred financial asset is, between the portion which is derecognized and the portion which is not, apportioned according to their respective relative fair value, and the difference between the amounts of the following two items is included into profit or loss: (1) the carrying amount of the portion which is derecognized; (2) the sum of consideration of the portion which is derecognized, and the portion of the accumulative amount of the changes in the fair value originally included in other comprehensive income which is corresponding to the portion which is derecognized (financial assets transferred refer to debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income). 4. Fair value determination method of financial assets and liabilities The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data and information are available to measure fair value. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are arranged in the following hierarchy and used accordingly: (1) Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date. (2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals; market-corroborated inputs; (3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs include interest rate that is not observable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data at commonly quoted intervals, historical volatility, future cash flows to be paid to fulfill the disposal obligation assumed in business combination, financial forecast developed using the Company’s own data, etc. 5. Impairment of financial instruments (1) Measurement and accounting treatment The Company, on the basis of expected credit loss, recognizes loss allowances of financial assets at amortized cost, debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets, leases receivable, loan commitments other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial guarantee contracts not belong to financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies. Expected credit losses refer to the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Credit loss refers to the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate. Among which, purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets are discounted at the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. At the balance sheet date, the Company shall only recognize the cumulative changes in the lifetime expected credit losses since initial recognition as a loss allowance for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets. For leases receivable, and accounts receivable and contract assets resulting from transactions regulated in “CASBE 14 – Revenues”, the Company chooses simplified approach to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. For financial assets other than the above, on each balance sheet date, the Company shall assess whether the credit risk on the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company shall measure the loss allowance for the financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition; otherwise, the Company shall measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit loss. Page 99 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. Considering reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition, so as to assess whether the credit risk on the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company may assume that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have relatively low credit risk at the balance sheet date. The Company shall estimate expected credit risk and measure expected credit losses on an individual or a collective basis. When the Company adopts the collective basis, financial instruments are grouped with similar credit risk features. The Company shall remeasure expected credit loss on each balance sheet date, and increased or reversed amounts of loss allowance arising therefrom shall be included into profit or loss as impairment losses or gains. For a financial asset measured at amortized cost, the loss allowance reduces the carrying amount of such financial asset presented in the balance sheet; for a debt investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance shall be recognized in other comprehensive income and shall not reduce the carrying amount of such financial asset. (2) Financial instruments with expected credit risk assessed and expected credit losses measured on a collective basis Items Basis for determination of portfolio Method for measuring expected credit loss Other receivables – Portfolio grouped with export tax refund receivable Other receivables – Portfolio grouped Based on historical credit loss experience, the with VAT refund receivable Nature of receivables current situation and the forecast of future Other receivables – Portfolio grouped economic conditions, the Company calculates with land bond receivable expected credit loss through exposure at Other receivables – Portfolio grouped default and 12-month or lifetime expected with deposits receivable from customs credit loss rate. and tax authorities Other receivables – Portfolio grouped Ages with ages (3) Accounts receivable and contract assets with expected credit losses measured on a collective basis 1) Specific portfolios and method for measuring expected credit loss Items Basis for determination of portfolio Method for measuring expected credit loss Based on historical credit loss experience, the Bank acceptance receivable current situation and the forecast of future Type of notes economic conditions, the Company calculates Trade acceptance receivable expected credit loss through exposure at default and lifetime expected credit loss rate. Based on historical credit loss experience, the current situation and the forecast of future economic conditions, the Company prepares Accounts receivable – Portfolio grouped Ages the comparison table of ages and lifetime with ages expected credit loss rate of accounts receivable, so as to calculate expected credit loss. 2) Accounts receivable – comparison table of ages and lifetime expected credit loss rate of portfolio grouped with ages Ages Expected credit loss rate (%) Within 1 year (inclusive, the same hereinafter) 5 1-2 years 20 2-3 years 80 Over 3 years 100 6. Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet and are not offset. However, the Company Page 100 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. offsets a financial asset and a financial liability and presents the net amount in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company: (1) currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and (2) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. For a transfer of a financial asset that does not qualify for derecognition, the Company does not offset the transferred asset and the associated liability. 10. Inventories 1. Classification of inventories Inventories include finished goods or goods held for sale in the ordinary course of business, work in process in the process of production, materials or supplies, etc. to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services. 2. Accounting method for dispatching inventories: Inventories dispatched from storage are accounted for with weighted average method at the end of each month. 3. Basis for determining net realizable value At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value; provisions for inventory write-down are made on the excess of its cost over the net realizable value. The net realizable value of inventories held for sale is determined based on the amount of the estimated selling price less the estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes and surcharges in the ordinary course of business; the net realizable value of materials to be processed is determined based on the amount of the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion, selling expenses and relevant taxes and surcharges in the ordinary course of business; at the balance sheet date, when only part of the same item of inventories have agreed price, their net realizable value are determined separately and are compared with their costs to set the provision for inventory write-down to be made or reversed. 4. Inventory system Perpetual inventory method is adopted. 5. Amortization method of low-value consumables and packages (1) Low-value consumables Low-value consumables are amortized with one-off method. (2) Packages Packages are amortized with one-off method. 11. Contract assets, contract liabilities The Company presents contract assets or contract liabilities in the balance sheet based on the relationship between its performance obligations and customers’ payments. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract shall offset each other and be presented on a net basis. The Company presents an unconditional right to consideration (i.e., only the passage of time is required before the consideration is due) as a receivable, and presents a right to consideration in exchange for goods that it has transferred to a customer (which is conditional on something other than the passage of time) as a contract asset. The Company presents an obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer as a contract liability. 12. Long-term equity investments 1. Judgment 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. Significant influence is the power to participate in the Page 101 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control of these policies. 2. Determination of investment cost (1) For business combination under common control, if the consideration of the combining party is that it makes payment in cash, transfers non-cash assets, assumes its liabilities or issues equity securities, on the date of combination, it regards the share of the carrying amount of the equity of the combined party included in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party as the initial cost of the investment. The difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investments and the carrying amount of the combination consideration paid or the par value of shares issued offsets capital reserve; if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. When long-term equity investments are obtained through business combination under common control achieved in stages, the Company determines whether it is a “bundled transaction”. If it is a “bundled transaction”, stages as a whole are considered as one transaction in accounting treatment. If it is not a “bundled transaction”, on the date of combination, investment cost is initially recognized at the share of the carrying amount of net assets of the combined party included the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party. The difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments at the acquisition date and the carrying amount of the previously held long-term equity investments plus the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the newly acquired equity is adjusted to capital reserve; if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. (2) For business combination not under common control, investment cost is initially recognized at the acquisition-date fair value of considerations paid. When long-term equity investments are obtained through business combination not under common control achieved in stages, the Company determined whether they are stand-alone financial statements or consolidated financial statements in accounting treatment: 1) In the case of stand-alone financial statements, investment cost is initially recognized at the carrying amount of the previously held long-term equity investments plus the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the newly acquired equity. 2) In the case of consolidated financial statements, the Company determines whether it is a “bundled transaction”. If it is a “bundled transaction”, stages as a whole are considered as one transaction in accounting treatment. If it is not a “bundled transaction”, the carrying amount of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at the acquisition-date fair value, and the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognized in investment income; when the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree involves other comprehensive income under equity method, the related other comprehensive income is reclassified as income for the acquisition period, excluding other comprehensive income arising from changes in net liabilities or assets from remeasurement of defined benefit plan of the acquiree. (3) Long-term equity investments obtained through ways other than business combination: the initial cost of a long-term equity investment obtained by making payment in cash is the purchase cost which is actually paid; that obtained on the basis of issuing equity securities is the fair value of the equity securities issued; that obtained through debt restructuring is determined according to “CASBE 12 – Debt Restructuring”; and that obtained through non-cash assets exchange is determined according to “CASBE 7 – Non-cash Assets Exchange”. 3. Subsequent measurement and recognition method of profit or loss For long-term equity investments with control relationship, it is accounted for with cost method; for long-term equity investments with joint control or significant influence relationship, it is accounted for with equity method. 4. Disposal of a subsidiary in stages resulting in the Company’s loss of control (1) Stand-alone financial statements The difference between the carrying amount of the disposed equity and the consideration obtained thereof is recognized in profit or loss. If the disposal does not result in the Company’s loss of significant influence or joint control, the remained equity is accounted Page 102 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. for with equity method; however, if the disposal results in the Company’s loss of control, joint control, or significant influence, the remained equity is accounted for according to “CASBE 22 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. (2) Consolidated financial statements 1) Disposal of a subsidiary in stages not qualified as “bundled transaction” resulting in the Company’s loss of control Before the Company’s loss of control, the difference between the disposal consideration and the proportionate share of net assets in the disposed subsidiary from acquisition date or combination date to the disposal date is adjusted to capital reserve (capital premium), if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. When the Company loses control, the remained equity is remeasured at the loss-of-control-date fair value. The aggregated value of disposal consideration and the fair value of the remained equity, less the share of net assets in the disposed subsidiary held before the disposal from the acquisition date or combination date to the disposal date is recognized in investment income in the period when the Company loses control over such subsidiary, and meanwhile goodwill is offset correspondingly. Other comprehensive income related to equity investments in former subsidiary is reclassified as investment income upon the Company’s loss of control. 2) Disposal of a subsidiary in stages qualified as “bundled transaction” resulting in the Company’s loss of control In case of “bundled transaction”, stages as a whole are considered as one transaction resulting in loss of control in accounting treatment. However, before the Company loses control, the difference between the disposal consideration at each stage and the proportionate share of net assets in the disposed subsidiary is recognized as other comprehensive income at the consolidated financial statements and reclassified as profit or loss in the period when the Company loses control over such subsidiary. 13. Fixed assets (1) Recognition principles Fixed assets are tangible assets held for use in the production of goods or rendering of services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and expected to be used during more than one accounting year. Fixed assets are recognized if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the assets will flow to the Company and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably. (2) Depreciation method Categories Depreciation method Useful life Residual value Annual depreciation rate (years) proportion (%) (%) Buildings and structures Straight-line method 7-35 5 13.57-2.71 General equipment Straight-line method 5-10 5 19.00-9.50 Special equipment Straight-line method 5-15 5 19.00-6.33 Transport facilities Straight-line method 5-7 5 19.00-13.57 (3) Recognition basis, measurement and depreciation method of fixed assets leased in finance leases None. 14. Construction in progress 1. Construction in progress is recognized if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company, and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Construction in progress is measured at the actual cost incurred to reach its designed usable conditions. 2. Construction in progress is transferred into fixed assets at its actual cost when it reaches the designed usable conditions. When the auditing of the construction in progress was not finished while reaching the designed usable conditions, it is transferred to fixed assets using estimated value first, and then adjusted accordingly when the actual cost is settled, but the accumulated depreciation is not to be adjusted retrospectively. Page 103 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. 15. Borrowing costs 1. Recognition principle of borrowing costs capitalization Where the borrowing costs incurred to the Company can be directly attributable to the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, it is capitalized and included in the costs of relevant assets; other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses on the basis of the actual amount incurred, and are included in profit or loss. 2. Borrowing costs capitalization period (1) The borrowing costs are not capitalized unless the following requirements are all met: 1) the asset disbursements have already incurred; 2) the borrowing costs have already 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. (2) Suspension of capitalization: where the acquisition and construction or production of a qualified asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption period lasts for more than 3 months, the capitalization of the borrowing costs is suspended; the borrowing costs incurred during such period are recognized as expenses, and are included in profit or loss, till the acquisition and construction or production of the asset restarts. (3) Ceasing of capitalization: when the qualified asset under acquisition and construction or production is ready for the intended use or sale, the capitalization of the borrowing costs is ceased. 3. Capitalization rate and capitalized amount of borrowing costs For borrowings exclusively for the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, the to-be-capitalized amount of interests is determined in light of the actual interest expenses incurred (including amortization of premium or discount based on effective interest method) of the special borrowings in the current period less the interest income on the unused borrowings as a deposit in the bank or as a temporary investment; where a general borrowing is used for the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, the Company calculates and determines the to-be-capitalized amount of interests on the general borrowing by multiplying the weighted average asset disbursement of the part of the accumulative asset disbursements less the general borrowing by the capitalization rate of the general borrowing used. 16. Intangible assets (1) Measurement method, useful lives and impairment test 1. Intangible assets include land use right, patent right, non-patented technology, etc. The initial measurement of intangible assets is based on its cost. 2. For intangible assets with finite useful lives, their amortization amounts are amortized within their useful lives systematically and reasonably, if it is unable to determine the expected realization pattern reliably, intangible assets are amortized by the straight-line method with details as follows: Items Amortization period (years) Land use right 50, 70 Software 10 Patent right 10 Non-patented technology 15 (2) Accounting policies on internal R&D expenditures Expenditures on the research phase of an internal project are recognized as profit or loss when they are incurred. An intangible asset arising from the development phase of an internal project is recognized if the Company can demonstrate all of the followings: (1) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; (2) its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (3) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, among other things, Page 104 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. the Company can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset; (4) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and (5) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. 17. Impairment of part of long-term assets For long-term assets such as long-term equity investments, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets, intangible assets with finite useful lives, etc., if at the balance sheet date there is indication of impairment, the recoverable amount is to be estimated. For goodwill recognized in business combination and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, no matter whether there is indication of impairment, impairment test is performed annually. Impairment test on goodwill is performed on related asset group or asset group portfolio. When the recoverable amount of such long-term assets is lower than their carrying amount, the difference is recognized as provision for assets impairment through profit or loss. 18. Long-term prepayments Long-term prepayments are expenses that have been recognized but with amortization period over one year (excluding one year). They are recorded with actual cost, and evenly amortized within the beneficiary period or stipulated period. If items of long-term prepayments fail to be beneficial to the following accounting periods, residual values of such items are included in profit or loss. 19. Employee benefits (1) Employee benefits include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits. (2) Short-term employee benefits The Company recognizes, in the accounting period in which an employee provides service, short-term employee benefits actually incurred as liabilities, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset. (3) Post-employment benefits The Company classifies post-employment benefit plans as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. (1) The Company recognizes in the accounting period in which an employee provides service the contribution payable to a defined contribution plan as a liability, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset. (2) Accounting treatment by the Company for defined benefit plan usually involves the following steps: 1) In accordance with the projected unit credit method, using unbiased and mutually compatible actuarial assumptions to estimate related demographic variables and financial variables, measure the obligations under the defined benefit plan, and determine the periods to which the obligations are attributed. Meanwhile, the Company discounts obligations under the defined benefit plan to determine the present value of the defined benefit plan obligations and the current service cost; 2) When a defined benefit plan has assets, the Company recognizes the deficit or surplus by deducting the fair value of defined benefit plan assets from the present value of the defined benefit plan obligation as a net defined benefit plan liability or net defined benefit plan asset. When a defined benefit plan has a surplus, the Company measures the net defined benefit plan asset at the lower of the surplus in the defined benefit plan and the asset ceiling; 3) At the end of the period, the Company recognizes the following components of employee benefits cost arising from defined benefit plan: a. service cost; b. net interest on the net defined benefit plan liability (asset); and c. changes as a result of remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability (asset). Item a and item b are recognized in profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset. Item c is recognized in other comprehensive income and is not to be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. However, the Page 105 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. Company may transfer those amounts recognized in other comprehensive income within equity. (4) Termination benefits Termination benefits provided to employees are recognized as an employee benefit liability for termination benefits, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss at the earlier of the following dates: a. when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal; or b. when the Company recognizes cost or expenses related to a restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits. (5) Other long-term employee benefits When other long-term employee benefits provided to the employees satisfied the conditions for classifying as a defined contribution plan, those benefits are accounted for in accordance with the requirements relating to defined contribution plan, while other benefits are accounted for in accordance with the requirements relating to defined benefit plan. The Company recognizes the cost of employee benefits arising from other long-term employee benefits as the followings: a. service cost; b. net interest on the net liability or net assets of other long-term employee benefits; and c. changes as a result of remeasurement of the net liability or net assets of other long-term employee benefits. As a practical expedient, the net total of the aforesaid amounts is recognized in profit or loss or included in the cost of a relevant asset. 20. Revenue Accounting policies on revenue recognition and measurement 1. Revenue recognition principles At contract inception, the Company shall assess the contracts and shall identify each performance obligation in the contracts, and determine whether the performance obligation should be satisfied over time or at a point in time. The Company satisfies a performance obligation over time if one of the following criteria is met, otherwise, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time: (1) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the economic benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs; (2) the customer can control goods as they are created by the Company’s performance; (3) goods created during the Company’s performance have irreplaceable uses and the Company has an enforceable right to the payments for performance completed to date during the whole contract period. For each performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company shall recognize revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. In the circumstance that the progress cannot be measured reasonably, but the costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligation are expected to be recovered, the Company shall recognize revenue only to the extent of the costs incurred until it can reasonably measure the progress. For each performance obligation satisfied at a point in time, the Company shall recognize revenue at the time point that the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services. To determine whether the customer has obtained control of goods, the Company shall consider the following indications: (1) the Company has a present right to payment for the goods, i.e., the customer is presently obliged to pay for the goods; (2) the Company has transferred the legal title of the goods to the customer, i.e., the customer has legal title to the goods; (3) the Company has transferred physical possession of the goods to the customer, i.e., the customer has physically possessed the goods; (4) the Company has transferred significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, i.e., the customer has obtained significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; (5) the customer has accepted the goods; (6) other evidence indicating the customer has obtained control over the goods. 2. Revenue measurement principle (1) Revenue is measured at the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties and those expected to be refunded to the customer. (2) If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company shall confirm the best estimate of variable Page 106 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. consideration at expected value or the most likely amount. However, the transaction price that includes the amount of variable consideration only to the extent that it is high probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. (3) In the circumstance that the contract contains a significant financing component, the Company shall determine the transaction price based on the price that a customer would have paid for if the customer had paid cash for obtaining control over those goods or services. The difference between the transaction price and the amount of promised consideration is amortized under effective interest method over contractual period. The effects of a significant financing component shall not be considered if the Company expects, at the contract inception, that the period between when the customer obtains control over goods or services and when the customer pays consideration will be one year or less. (4) For contracts containing two or more performance obligations, the Company shall determine the stand-alone selling price at contract inception of the distinct good underlying each performance obligation and allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. 3. Revenue recognition method (1) Revenue from sales of products The Company’s main products are nutrition, flavor and fragrance, new polymer materials, etc. Sales of products are performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from domestic sales is recognized when the Company has delivered goods to the customer as agreed by contract and has obtained delivery note signed by the customer, and the Company has collected the payments or has obtained the right to the payments, and related economic benefits are highly probable to flow to the Company. Revenue from overseas sales is recognized when the Company has declared goods to the customs based on contractual agreements and has obtained a bill of lading, and the Company has collected the payments or has obtained the right to the payments, and related economic benefits are highly probable to flow to the Company. (2) Revenue from real estate sales Real estate sales are performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from real estate sales is recognized when the Company has delivered properties to the customer as agreed by contract and has obtained the client acceptance receipts signed by the customer, and the Company has collected the payments or has obtained the right to the payments, and related economic benefits are highly probable to flow to the Company. Differences in accounting policies on revenue recognition due to the adoption of different business models for similar businesses None. 21. Government grants 1. Government grants shall be recognized if, and only if, the following conditions are all met: (1) the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to the grants; (2) the grants will be received. Monetary government grants are measured at the amount received or receivable. Non-monetary government grants are measured at fair value, and can be measured at nominal amount in the circumstance that fair value cannot be assessed. 2. Government grants related to assets Government grants related to assets are government grants with which the Company constructs or otherwise acquires long-term assets under requirements of government. In the circumstances that there is no specific government requirement, the Company shall determine based on the primary condition to acquire the grants, and government grants related to assets are government grants whose primary condition is to construct or otherwise acquire long-term assets. They offset carrying amount of relevant assets, or they are recognized as deferred income. If recognized as deferred income, they are included in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful lives of the relevant assets. Those measured at notional amount are directly included into profit or loss. For assets sold, transferred, disposed or damaged within the useful lives, balance of unamortized deferred income is transferred into profit or loss of Page 107 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. the period in which the disposal occurred. 3. Government grants related to income Government grants related to income are government grants other than those related to assets. For government grants that contain both parts related to assets and parts related to income, in which those two parts are blurred, they are thus collectively classified as government grants related to income. For government grants related to income used for compensating the related future cost, expenses or losses, they are recognized as deferred income and included in profit or loss or used to offset relevant cost during the period in which the relevant cost, expenses or losses are recognized; for government grants related to income used for compensating the related cost, expenses or losses incurred to the Company, they are directly included in profit or loss or used to offset relevant cost. 4. Government grants related to the ordinary course of business shall be included into other income or used to offset relevant cost based on business nature, while those not related to the ordinary course of business shall be included into non-operating revenue or expenditures. 5. Policy interest subvention (1) In the circumstance that government appropriates interest subvention to lending bank, who provides loans for the Company with a policy subsidised interest rate, borrowings are carried at the amount received, with relevant borrowings cost computed based on the principal and the policy subsidised interest rate. (2) In the circumstance that government directly appropriates interest subvention to the Company, the subsidised interest shall offset relevant borrowing cost. 22. Deferred tax assets/Deferred tax liabilities 1. Deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognized based on the difference between the carrying amount and tax base of assets and liabilities (and the difference of the carrying amount and tax base of items not recognized as assets and liabilities but with their tax base being able to be determined according to tax laws) and in accordance with the tax rate applicable to the period during which the assets are expected to be recovered or the liabilities are expected to be settled. 2. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent of the amount of the taxable income, which is most likely to obtain and which can be deducted from the deductible temporary difference. At the balance sheet date, if there is any exact evidence that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized, the deferred tax assets unrecognized in prior periods are recognized. 3. At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow the benefit of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Such reduction is subsequently reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be available. 4. The income tax and deferred tax for the period are treated as income tax expenses or income through profit or loss, excluding those arising from the following circumstances: (1) business combination; and (2) the transactions or items directly recognized in equity. 23. Leases (1) Operating lease 1. The Company as lessee At the commencement date, the Company recognizes a lease that has a lease term of 12 months or less as a short-term lease, which shall not contain a purchase option; the Company recognizes a lease as a lease of a low-value asset if the underlying asset is of low value when it is new. If the Company subleases an asset, or expects to sublease an asset, the head lease does not qualify as a lease of a low-value asset. Page 108 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. For all short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognized as cost or profit or loss with straight-line method/unit-of-production method over the lease term. Apart from the above-mentioned short-term leases and leases of low-value assets with simplified approach, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the commencement date. (1) Right-of-use assets The right-of-use asset is measured at cost and the cost shall comprise: 1) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; 2) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; 3) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and 4) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company depreciates the right-of-use asset using the straight-line method/unit-of-production method. If it is reasonable to be certain that the ownership of the underlying asset can be acquired by the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Company depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. (2) Lease liability At the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate shall be used. Unrecognized financing expenses, calculated at the difference between the lease payment and its present value, are recognized as interest expenses over the lease term using the discount rate which has been used to determine the present value of lease payment and included in profit or loss. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are included in profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred. After the commencement date, if there is a change in the following items: a. actual fixed payments; b. amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees; c. an index or a rate used to determine lease payments; d. assessment result or exercise of purchase option, extension option or termination option., the Company remeasures the lease liability based on the present value of lease payments after changes, and adjusts the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset accordingly. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero but there shall be a further reduction in the lease liability, the remaining amount shall be recognized into profit or loss. 2. The Company as lessor At the commencement date, the Company classifies a lease as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Otherwise, it is classified as an operating lease. Operating lease Lease receipts are recognized as lease income with straight-line method/unit-of-production method over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred shall be capitalized, amortized on the same basis as the recognition of lease income, and included into profit or loss by installments. Variable lease payments related to operating lease which are not included in the lease payment are charged as profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred. 24. Work safety fund The Company accrues work safety fund in accordance with the “Circular on Management Measures on the Accrual and Use of Work Safety Fund” numbered Cai Qi [2012] 16 by Ministry of Finance and State Administration of Work Safety. Standard work safety fund is included in the cost or current profit or loss, meanwhile accounted for under “special reserve”. When work safety fund is used as an expense, it is to offset special reserve directly. When work safety fund is qualified to be included in the cost of fixed assets, it is Page 109 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. accounted for under “construction in progress” and transferred to fixed assets when related safety projects reach the designed useful conditions; meanwhile, the cost included in fixed assets is to offset “special reserve”, and accumulated depreciation shall be recognized at the same amount. Such fixed assets shall not be depreciated in future periods. 25. Segment reporting Operating segments are determined based on the structure of the Company’s internal organization, management requirements and internal reporting system. An operating segment is a component of the Company: 1. that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; 2. whose financial performance is regularly reviewed by the Management to make decisions about resource to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance; and 3. for which accounting information regarding financial position, financial performance and cash flows is available through analysis. 26.Accounting treatment related to share repurchase When the Company repurchases its shares for the purpose of reducing its registered capital or rewarding its employees, if the purchased shares are to be kept as treasury shares, the treasury shares are recorded at the cash distributed to existing shareholders for repurchase; if the purchased shares are to be retired, the difference between the total par value of shares retired and the cash distributed to existing shareholders for repurchase is to reduce capital reserve, or retained earnings when the capital reserve is not enough to reduce. If the Company repurchases vested equity instruments in equity-settled share-based payment transactions with employees, cost of treasury shares granted to employees and capital reserve (other capital reserve) accumulated within the vesting period are to be written off on the payment made to employees, with a corresponding adjustment in capital reserve (share premium). 27. Significant changes in accounting policies and estimates (1) Significant changes in accounting policies √ Applicable □ Not Applicable Contents and reasons Approval process Remarks The Company has adopted the “CASBE 21 – Leases” revised by the Ministry of Finance (the “revised lease standard”) since January 1, 2021. Pursuant to regulations on Please refer to Announcement No. convergence between original and revised standards, no N/A 2021-027 disclosed on adjustment shall be made on comparable information, and www.cninfo.com.cn on August 20, the difference arising from adoption on the first adoption 2021 for details. date shall be retrospectively adjusted into retained earnings and other comprehensive income at the beginning of the reporting period. Changes in accounting policies arising from changes in CASBEs 1. The Company has adopted revised lease standard since January 1, 2021 (the “first adoption date”). 1) For the contract existed prior to the first adoption date, the Company does not reassess whether it is, or contains, a lease. 2) For lease contracts with the Company as lessee, the cumulative effect arising from adoption of the revised lease standard at the first adoption date shall be retrospectively adjusted into retained earnings and other related financial statement items at the beginning of the reporting period, and no adjustment shall be made on comparable information. The specific treatments are as follows: For operating leases prior to the first adoption date, the Company measures lease liabilities at the present value of remaining lease payments, which are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the first adoption date, and measures right-of-use assets at the amount equivalent to lease liabilities through necessary adjustments based on prepaid leasing fees at the first adoption date. At the first adoption date, pursuant to section V (17) of this section, the Company performs impairment test on right-of-use assets and conducts corresponding accounting treatments.

Risks related to financial instruments In risk management, the Company aims to seek the appropriate balance between the risks and benefits from its use of financial instruments and to mitigate the adverse effects that the risks of financial instruments have on the Company’s financial performance, so as to maximize the profits of shareholders and other equity investors. Based on such risk management objectives, the Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits on a timely and reliable basis. The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments, which mainly include: credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk. The Management has deliberated and approved policies concerning such risks, and details are: (I) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. 1. Credit risk management practice (1) Evaluation method of credit risk At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company takes into account reasonable and supportable information, which is available without undue cost or effort, including qualitative and quantitative analysis based on historical data, external credit risk rating, and forward-looking information. The Company determines the changes in default risk of financial instruments during the estimated lifetime through comparison of the default risk at the balance sheet date and the initial recognition date, on an individual basis or a collective basis. The Company considers the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly when one or more of the following qualitative and quantitative standards are met: 1) Quantitative standard mainly relates to the scenario in which, at the balance sheet date, the probability of default in the remaining lifetime has risen by more than a certain percentage compared with the initial recognition; 2) Qualitative standard mainly relates to significant adverse changes in the debtor’s operation or financial position, present or expected changes in technology, market, economy or legal environment that will have significant adverse impact on the debtor’s repayment ability. (2) Definition of default and credit-impaired assets A financial instrument is defined as defaulted when one or more following events have occurred, of which the standard is consistent with that for credit-impairment: 1) significant financial difficulty of the debtor; 2) a breach of binding clause of contract; 3) it is very likely that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; 4) the creditor of the debtor, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the debtor’s financial difficulty, having granted to the debtor a concession(s) that the creditor would not otherwise consider. 2. Measurement of expected credit losses The key factors in the measurement of expected credit loss include the probability of default, loss rate of default, and exposure to Page 157 of 175 2021 Annual Report of Zhejiang NHU Co., Ltd. default risk. The Company develops a model of the probability of default, loss rate of default, and exposure to default risk on the basis of quantitative analysis of historical data (e.g. counterparty rating, guarantee measures and collateral type, payment method, etc.) and forward-looking information. 3. Please refer to item VII 4 and 7 of this section for details on the reconciliation table of opening balance and closing balance of provision for losses of financial instrument. 4. Exposure to credit risk and concentration of credit risk The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and bank balances and receivables. In order to control such risks, the Company has taken the following measures: (1) Cash and bank balances The Company deposits its bank balances and other cash and bank balances in financial institutions with relatively high credit levels, hence, its credit risk is relatively low. (2) Receivables The Company performs credit assessment on customers using credit settlement on a continuous basis. The Company selects credible and well-reputed customers based on credit assessment result, and conducts ongoing monitoring on balance of receivables, to avoid significant risks in bad debts. As the Company only conducts business with credible and well-reputed third parties, collateral is not required from customers. The Company manages credit risk aggregated by customers. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has certain concentration of credit risk, and 39.06 % (December 31, 2020: 35.19%) of the total accounts receivable was due from the five largest customers of the Company. The Company held no collateral or other credit enhancement on balance of receivables. The maximum amount of exposure to credit risk of the Company is the carrying amount of each financial asset at the balance sheet. (II) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter deficiency of funds in meeting obligations associated with cash or other financial assets settlement, which is possibly attributable to failure in selling financial assets at fair value on a timely basis, or failure in collecting liabilities from counterparties of contracts, or early redemption of debts, or failure in achieving estimated cash flows. In order to control such risk, the Company comprehensively utilized financing tools such as notes settlement, bank borrowings, etc. and adopts long-term and short-term financing methods to optimize financing structures, and finally maintains a balance between financing sustainability and flexibility. The Company has obtained credit limit from several commercial banks to meet working capital requirements and expenditures.

Market risk mainly includes interest risk and foreign currency risk. 1. Interest risk Interest risk is the risk that an enterprise may encounter fluctuation in fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in market interest. The Company’s fair value interest risks arise from fixed-rate financial instruments, while the cash flow interest risks arise from floating-rate financial instruments. The Company determines the proportion of fixed-rate financial instruments and floating-rate financial instruments based on the market environment, and maintains a proper financial instruments portfolio through regular review and monitoring. The Company’s interest risk in cash flows relates mainly to bank borrowings with floating interest rate. As of December 31, 2021, balance of borrowings with interest accrued at floating interest rate totaled 8,581,398,746.38 yuan (December 31, 2020: 7,776,288,840.18 yuan). If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s profit before tax and equity will not be significantly affected. 2. Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk arising from changes in fair value or future cash flows of financial instrument resulted from changes in exchange rate. The Company’s foreign currency risk relates mainly to foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities. When short-term imbalance occurred to foreign currency assets and liabilities, the Company may trade foreign currency at market exchange rate when necessary, in order to maintain the net risk exposure within an acceptable level. Please refer to item VII 58 of the notes to the financial statements for details on foreign currency financial assets and liabilities at the end of the period. XI. Fair value disclosure 1.
