The complete published Chinese 2023 Half Year Report may be obtained at www.cninfo.com.cn. 1 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Please read the full half year report and pay particular attention to the following risk factors: (1) Geopolitical environment risk: The current global geopolitical uncertainty has greatly increased, and the operating environment in certain regions has deteriorated. The Company will adjust its marketing resources based on business opportunities, but if the geopolitical environment get worse, the Company's operations in certain countries and regions may be adversely affected. (2) Global economic downside risk: The economic growth of some overseas countries slows down, the potential risks such as economic fluctuation and debt default in various regions are difficult to eliminate. At the same time, the domestic economy is switching to a new development mode and its pace of recovery needs to be further observed. The Company disperses the operation risk of a single region with a wide business layout. But the Company's business will also be impacted if there is a global economic recession. (3) Supply chain risk: The global supply system is being undermined by politics. The Company has been making efforts to build a diversified supply chain and optimize inventory adjustment and control. However, if systemic risks arise in the global supply chain, the Company's operating capabilities may be affected (4) Technology upgrading risk: AI, big data, cloud computing, edge computing and other technologies develop rapidly, and the iteration speed of science and technology application is fast. If the update and change of cutting-edge technology cannot be closely tracked and the innovative development of business cannot be realized quickly, the uncertainty of the Company's future development will increase. (5) Legal and compliance risk: The world's multilateral trading system is facing adverse impacts. The laws and regulations of various regions that need to be complied with for business activities are very complicated. The Company constantly strengthens the construction of legal compliance system since China and overseas countries have stricter data supervision and business compliance requirements. If the Company's legal compliance capabilities cannot keep up with the situation, it will bring adverse impacts on the Company's operations. (6) Risk of exchange rate fluctuation: The Company carries out operations in various countries and regions, mainly settled in non-RMB currency. Exchange rate fluctuations could have impact on foreign exchange exposures arising out of sales, procurement and financing, which could likely affect the profitability level of the Company. 2 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report (7) Financial risk caused by the decline of customers' ability to pay: The enterprises' financial liquidity is negatively impacted by the macroeconomic downturn. The Company has accumulated a certain amount of cash reserves due to its stable business operation, and the financing cost is low. If the overall liquidity risk of the market increases, it will adversely affect the Company's account receivables due to the payment collection speed of the Company may slow down. (8) Risk of internal management: The continual expansion of business scale, the continuous increase of new products and new businesses, and the continuous growth in total number of employees lead to a significant rise of internal management complexity, which brings challenges to the Company's management. The Company's sustainable development will face certain risks if the management level fails to proportionally address the Company's business expansion. (9) Risk of cybersecurity: The Company has always attached great importance and taken active measures to enhance cybersecurity performance of our products and systems. But there is still a possibility of deliberate attempts, including computer viruses, malicious software, hacker and others to intentionally attack our systems or products, causing cybersecurity issues. (10) Risk of intellectual property (IP) rights: The Company continues to maintain a relatively large scale of R&D investment, and produces considerable technical milestones. At the same time, the Company implements well-organized intellectual property right (IPR) protection measures. However, the risk of intellectual property disputes and the risk of intellectual property rights violations still exist. The above notices might not be all-inclusive of all other potential risks. Please pay attention to potential investment risks. 3 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report CONTENTS Section I Important Notes, Contents and Definitions ...................................................................................... 1 Section II Corporate Profile & Key Financial Data ......................................................................................... 7 Section III Management Discussion and Analysis ......................................................................................... 11 Section IV Corporate Governance .................................................................................................................. 29 Section V Environmental and Social Responsibility ...................................................................................... 31 Section VI Significant Events ........................................................................................................................... 32 Section VII Changes in Shares and Information about Shareholders ......................................................... 48 Section VIII Information of Preferred Shares ............................................................................................... 61 Section IX Bonds ............................................................................................................................................... 62 Section X Financial Report .............................................................................................................................. 63 Section XI Documents Available for Reference ........................................................................................... 199 4 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Definitions Term Definition Reporting Period From January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 Articles of Association Articles of Associations for Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co., Ltd Hikvision, our Company, the Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co., Ltd Company CETC China Electronics Technology Group Ltd., the actual controller of the Company CETHIK CETHIK Group Co., Ltd., the controlling shareholder of the Company EZVIZ, EZVIZ Network, Smart Hangzhou EZVIZ Network Co., Ltd.(According to the context, also refers to the corresponding Home business) HikRobot, Robotic business Hangzhou Hikrobot Technology Co., Ltd.

Risks of the Company and risk response solutions During the reporting period, there was no material change in the risk exposure of the Company. For details, please refer to Section I - Important Notes. The Company has been striving to identify various risk exposures, and actively adopting countermeasures to avoid and reduce risks: (1) Geopolitical environment risk: The current global geopolitical uncertainty has greatly increased, and the operating environment in certain regions has deteriorated. The Company will adjust its marketing resources based on business opportunities, but if the geopolitical environment get worse, the Company's operations in certain countries and regions may be adversely affected. (2) Global economic downside risk: The economic growth of some overseas countries slows down, the potential risks such as economic fluctuation and debt default in various regions are difficult to eliminate. At the same time, the domestic economy is switching to a new development mode and its pace of recovery needs to be further observed. The Company disperses the operation risk of a single region with a wide business layout. But the Company's business will also be impacted if there is a global economic recession. (3) Supply chain risk: The global supply system is being undermined by politics. The Company has been making efforts to build a diversified supply chain and optimize inventory adjustment and control. However, if systemic 26 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report risks arise in the global supply chain, the Company's operating capabilities may be affected (4) Technology upgrading risk: AI, big data, cloud computing, edge computing and other technologies develop rapidly, and the iteration speed of science and technology application is fast. If the update and change of cutting-edge technology cannot be closely tracked and the innovative development of business cannot be realized quickly, the uncertainty of the Company's future development will increase. (5) Legal and compliance risk: The world's multilateral trading system is facing adverse impacts. The laws and regulations of various regions that need to be complied with for business activities are very complicated. The Company constantly strengthens the construction of legal compliance system since China and overseas countries have stricter data supervision and business compliance requirements. If the Company's legal compliance capabilities cannot keep up with the situation, it will bring adverse impacts on the Company's operations. (6) Risk of exchange rate fluctuation: The Company carries out operations in various countries and regions, mainly settled in non-RMB currency. Exchange rate fluctuations could have impact on foreign exchange exposures arising out of sales, procurement and financing, which could likely affect the profitability level of the Company. (7) Financial risk caused by the decline of customers' ability to pay: The enterprises' financial liquidity is negatively impacted by the macroeconomic downturn. The Company has accumulated a certain amount of cash reserves due to its stable business operation, and the financing cost is low. If the overall liquidity risk of the market increases, it will adversely affect the Company's account receivables due to the payment collection speed of the Company may slow down. (8) Risk of internal management: The continual expansion of business scale, the continuous increase of new products and new businesses, and the continuous growth in total number of employees lead to a significant rise of internal management complexity, which brings challenges to the Company's management. The Company's sustainable development will face certain risks if the management level fails to proportionally address the Company's business expansion. (9) Risk of cybersecurity: The Company has always attached great importance and taken active measures to enhance cybersecurity performance of our products and systems. But there is still a possibility of deliberate attempts, including computer viruses, malicious software, hacker and others to intentionally attack our systems 27 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report or products, causing cybersecurity issues. (10) Risk of intellectual property (IP) rights: The Company continues to maintain a relatively large scale of R&D investment, and produces considerable technical milestones. At the same time, the Company implements well- organized intellectual property right (IPR) protection measures. However, the risk of intellectual property disputes and the risk of intellectual property rights violations still exist. 28 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Section IV Corporate Governance I.

If the asset decreases in value, the provision for impairment of assets should be made according to relevant regulations. According to the historical cost measurement, the assets shall be measured as per the amount of cash or cash equivalent paid at the time of purchase, or the fair value of consideration paid for the purchase of such assets. The liabilities shall be measured in accordance with the amount of funds or assets actually received when undertaking current obligations, or the contract amount when undertaking the current obligations, or the amount of cash or cash equivalents required for paying back the debts in daily activities. The fair value is a price received by the market participants from selling asset or transferring liability during orderly transaction at the measurement date.

Accounting period The Group has adopted the calendar year as its accounting year from January 1 to December 31 each year. 3. Business cycle The business cycle refers to the period from purchase of assets used for processing to realization of cash or cash equivalents. The Group's business cycle is usually 12 months. 4. Functional currency Renminbi ("RMB") is the currency in the primary economic environments in which the Company and its domestic subsidiaries are operated. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries take RMB as their functional currency. Overseas 78 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 subsidiaries of the Company determine their functional currency on the basis of the primary economic environment in which it operates. The Group adopts RMB to prepare its financial statements. 5. The accounting treatment of business combinations involving enterprises under common control and business combinations not involving enterprises under common control Business combinations are classified into business combinations involving enterprises under common control and business combinations not involving enterprises under common control. 5.1 Business combinations involving enterprises under common control A business combination involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory. Assets and liabilities obtained shall be measured at their respective carrying amounts as recorded by the combining entities at the date of the combination. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination is adjusted to the share premium in capital reserve. If the share premium is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings. Costs that are directly attributable to the combination are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 5.2 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination. The cost of combination is the aggregate of the fair values, at the acquisition date, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquiree. If a business combination not under the common control is realized in stages through multiple transactions, the cost of the combination is the sum of the consideration paid on the purchase date and the fair value of the equity of the purchase already held before the purchase date on the purchase date. The intermediary expenses incurred by the acquirer in respect of auditing, legal services, valuation and consultancy services, etc. and other associated administrative expenses attributable to the business combination are recognized in profit or loss when they are incurred. 79 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, acquired by the acquirer in a business combination, that meet the recognition criteria shall be measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the difference is treated as an asset and recognized as goodwill, which is measured at cost on initial recognition. Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the acquirer firstly reassesses the measurement of the fair values of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and measurement of the cost of combination. If after that reassessment, the cost of combination is still less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the acquirer recognizes the remaining difference immediately into profit or loss for the current period. Goodwill arising on a business combination is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, and is presented separately in the consolidated financial statements. 6. Preparation method of consolidated financial statements 6.1 Preparation method of consolidated financial statements The scope of consolidated financial statements shall be confirmed based on the control. Control right means that an investor may control an investee; the investor may participate in relevant activities of the investee to obtain variable rewards and also be able to use the control rights for the investee to influence its amount of returns. The Group will re- evaluate, if the change of the relevant facts and circumstances leading to the change of the relevant elements involved in the above definition of control. The merger of subsidiary starts from the Group obtaining the control power of the subsidiary, and terminates when the Group loses the control power of the subsidiary. As for subsidiaries disposed by the Group, operating results and cash flows prior to the disposal date (the date of losing control right) have been properly included in the consolidated profit statement and consolidated cash flow statement. For a subsidiary acquired through a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the operating results and cash flows from the acquisition date (the date when control is obtained) are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows. No matter when the business combination occurs in the reporting period, subsidiaries acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control are included in the Group's scope of consolidation as if they had 80 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 been included in the scope of consolidation from the date when they first came under the common control of the ultimate controlling party. Their operating results and cash flows from the beginning of the earliest reporting period are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows, as appropriate. The significant accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the subsidiaries are determined based on the uniform accounting policies and accounting periods set out by the Company. All significant intra-group balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. The portion of subsidiaries' equity that is not attributable to the Company is treated as minority interests and presented as "minority equity" in the consolidated balance sheet. The portion of net profits or losses of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interests is presented as "minority interests" in the consolidated income statement below the "net profit" line item. When the amount of loss for the period attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders' portion of the opening balance of owners' equity of the subsidiary, the excess amount is still allocated against minority interests. Acquisition of minority interests or disposal of interest in a subsidiary that does not result in the loss of control over the subsidiary is accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the total owners' equity attributable to owner of the Company and minority equity are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. The difference between the amount by which the minority interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is adjusted to capital reserve under owners' equity. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the excess is adjusted against retained earnings. In the case that the equity of the acquiree is obtained through multiple deals in stages to finally form the business combination not under the common control, the business combination shall be handled differently based on whether it is "package deal": where it is package deal, the Company accounts each deal as a deal to obtain the control. If the deal is not a "package deal", a deal where the control is obtained on the acquisition date will be subject to accounting. The acquiree's equity held before the acquisition date will be re-measured based on the fair value of the equity on the acquisition date and the difference between the fair value and book value will be included in the profit or loss in the current period. If the acquiree's equity held before the acquisition date involves any changes in the other comprehensive income or in any other owner's equity accounted by the equity method, such equity changes shall be accounted for on the same basis as the direct disposal of the relevant assets or liabilities by the acquiree. 81 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 7. Joint arrangement classification and joint operation accounting Joint arrangements include joint operations and joint ventures. Such classification is defined based on the rights and obligations of the joint parties in the joint arrangement, taking into account the structure and legal form of such arrangement and also the contractual provisions. Joint operation refers to a joint arrangement where the joint venture is entitled to assets related to this arrangement and bear liabilities related to this arrangement. Joint ventures mean that joint venture parties are merely entitled to joint venture arrangements of net assets of such arrangements. The Group's investment in any joint venture is accounted by the equity method. See the details in Note (III) "15.3.2 Long- term equity investment accounted under the equity method". The Group confirms its assets held separately according to the arrangement of joint operation and those held jointly in proportion to the Group's share; confirms its liabilities held separately and those held jointly in proportion to the Group's share; confirms its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; confirms its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; confirms the expenses incurred by the Group alone and the expenses incurred by the joint operation corresponding to the share of the Group therein. The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to the joint operation are accounted and confirmed by the Group in accordance with the regulations applicable to specific assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. 8. Recognition criteria of cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalents are the Group's short-term (Generally refers to due within three months from the purchase date), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 9. Conversion of transactions and financial statements denominated in foreign currencies. 9.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies A foreign currency transaction is recorded, on initial recognition, by applying an exchange rate that approximates the actual spot exchange rate on the date of transaction; The exchange rate that approximates the actual spot exchange rate on the date of transaction is calculated according to the middle price of market exchange rate at the beginning of the month in which the transaction happened. At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into RMB using the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the differences between the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and those on initial recognition or at the previous balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss for 82 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 the period, except for exchange differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency that qualifies for capitalization are capitalized as part of the cost of the qualifying asset during the capitalization period. When the consolidated financial statements include foreign operation(s), if there is foreign currency monetary item constituting a net investment in a foreign operation, exchange difference arising from changes in exchange rates are recognized as "exchange differences arising on conversion of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies" in other comprehensive income, and in profit and loss for the period upon disposal of the foreign operation. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are converted to the amounts in functional currency at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are re-converted at the spot exchange rate on the date the fair value is determined. Difference between the re-converted functional currency amount and the original functional currency amount is treated as changes in fair value (including changes of exchange rate) and is recognized in profit and loss or as other comprehensive income. 9.2 Conversion of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, financial statements of a foreign operation are converted from the foreign currency into RMB using the following method: assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; shareholders' equity items are converted at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such items arose; all items in the income statement as well as items reflecting the distribution of profits are translated at exchange rates that approximate the actual spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions; The difference between the converted assets and the aggregate of liabilities and shareholders' equity items is recognized into other comprehensive income and shareholders' equity. The foreign currency cash flows and cash flows of overseas subsidiaries adopt the exchange rate similar to the spot rate at the date of cash flows for conversion. The affected amount of cash and cash equivalents due to the change of exchange rate, as an adjustment item, shall be separately listed as "the impact of cash and cash equivalents due to the change of exchange rate" in the cash flow statement. The closing balances of the prior year and the actual amount of the prior year are presented at the converted amounts of the prior year's financial statements. On disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation, or upon a loss of control over a foreign operation due to disposal of certain interest in it or other reasons, the Group transfers the accumulated exchange differences arising on 83 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 conversion of financial statements of this foreign operation attributable to the owners' equity of the Company and presented under shareholders' equity, to profit or loss in the period in which the disposal occurs. In case of a disposal or other reason that does not result in the Group losing control over a foreign operation, but only a decrease in proportion of overseas business interests, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences arising on conversion of financial statements are re-attributed to minority interests and are not recognized in profit and loss under current period. For partial disposals of equity interests in foreign operations, which are associates or joint ventures, the proportionate shares of the accumulated exchange differences arising on conversion of financial statements of foreign operations are reclassified to profit or loss under current period. 10. Financial instruments The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to a contract of financial instrument. For the purchase or sale of a financial asset in conventional manner, the asset to be received and the liability to be assumed will be recognized on the trading day, or the asset sold will be derecognized on the trading day. Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured by fair value upon initial recognition. For financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, the relevant trading costs will be directly charged to profit and loss of the current period. For other types of financial assets and financial liabilities, the relevant trading costs will be booked into the initial recognition amount. Upon initial recognition of accounts receivable which have no material financing components or have not taken into consideration the financing components in contracts with a term not exceeding one year according to Accounting Standards for Business Enterprise No. 14 – Revenue ("Revenue Standard"), such initial amount is measured by the transaction price as defined under the Revenue Standard. Effective interest rate method refers to the method of calculating the amortized cost of financial asset or financial liability and apportioning interest income or interest expenses to each accounting period. Effective interest rate refers to the interest rate used for discounting the estimated future cash flows of a financial asset or a financial liability for an expected subsisting period into the balance of book value of the financial asset or the amortized cost of the financial liability. When determining the effective interest rate, the expected cash flows are estimated on the basis of considering all contractual terms of the financial asset or financial liability (such as early repayment, extended term, call option or other similar option) but without considering the expected credit loss. 84 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 The amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability refers to the initial recognition amount of such financial asset or financial liability, less the repaid amount of principal, plus or minus the accrued amortized amount calculated by amortization of the difference between the initial recognition amount and the amount on maturity by using the effective interest rate method, and then deducts the accrued provision for losses (only applicable to financial assets). 10.1 Classification, confirmation and measurement of financial assets After initial recognition, the Group will adopt amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, or fair value through profit and loss for subsequent measurement depending on different categories of financial assets. The Group will classify a financial asset into a financial asset measured at amortized cost if the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding and the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows. Financial assets classified by the Group as financial asset measured by amortized cost include cash and cash equivalents, notes receivables and accounts receivable, other receivables and long-term receivables. The Group will classify a financial asset into a financial asset measured by fair value through other comprehensive income if the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets. This category of financial assets mainly includes financial assets with a maturity of more than one year from the date of acquisition and which are presented under other debt investments, financial assets maturing within one year (inclusive) from the balance sheet date and which are presented under non-current assets maturing within one year, as well as the accounts receivable and notes receivable classified as fair value at the time of acquisition and their changes are included in other comprehensive income are listed in the receivables for financing, and for those have acquisition period within one year (including one year) are listed in other current assets. At the time of initial recognition, the Group may, on the basis of a single financial asset, irrevocably designate an investment in an equity instrument held for non-trading purpose recognized or without consideration in a business merger not under common control as a financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income. This type of financial assets is presented as investment in other equity instruments. Financial assets which have satisfied one of the following conditions indicate that such financial assets are held for trading purpose by the Group: The purpose of acquiring the relevant financial asset is mainly for sale in recent period. 85 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 At the time of initial recognition, the relevant financial asset is a part of an identifiable portfolio of financial instruments under collective management, and there is objective evidence showing a recent and actual existence of short-term profitable mode. The relevant financial assets are derivatives, excluding derivatives which satisfy the definition under financial guarantee contracts and derivatives which are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss include financial assets which are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and financial assets designated at fair value through profit and loss: Financial assets which do not satisfy the conditions of being classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost or as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, they will be classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss. At the time of initial recognition, in order to eliminate or substantially reduce mismatch in accounting, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset as a financial asset measured at fair value with changes through profit and loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss will be presented as held-for-trading financial assets. If such financial assets have a maturity of more than one year from the balance sheet date (or without a fixed maturity) and which are expected to be held for more than one year, they will be presented under other non-current financial assets. 10.1.1 Financial assets measured at amortized cost Financial assets measured at amortized cost adopt the effective interest rate method for subsequent measurement according to amortized cost, the profit or loss when impairment occurs or upon derecognition will be accounted in profit and loss of the current period. The Group recognizes interest income by using effective interest rate method for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Group determines interest income by multiplying the balance of book value of financial assets with the effective interest rate except under the following circumstances: For acquired or generated financial assets which incurred credit impairment already, their interest income will be determined by using the amortized cost of such financial asset calculated with the credit adjusted effective interest rate. For acquired or generated financial assets which have not incurred credit impairment but incur credit impairment in the subsequent period, the Group will determine their interest income by using the amortized cost of such financial assets multiplied with the effective interest rate in the subsequent period. If such financial asset ceases to have credit impairment due to improvement in credit risk in the subsequent period, then the Group should change to multiply the effective interest rate with the balance of book value of such financial asset instead to determine the interest income. 86 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 10.1.2 Financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income The impairment loss or profit, or interest income calculated by using the effective interest rate method, relating to financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income should be accounted in the profit and loss of the current period, and other changes in fair value of such financial assets will be accounted in other comprehensive income. The amount charged by such financial asset to the profit and loss of each period is deemed to be equal to the amount which has been measured by amortized cost and charged to the profit and loss of each period. Upon derecognition of such financial asset, the accumulated profit or loss previously charged to other comprehensive income will be reversed from other comprehensive income and charged to profit and loss of the current period. For non-trading equity instrument investment designated at fair value through other comprehensive income, its changes in fair value will be recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition of such financial asset, the accumulated profit or loss charged to other comprehensive income will be reversed from other comprehensive income and charged to retained earnings. During the period when such investment in equity instruments for non-trading purpose are held by the Group, the right to receive dividends by the Group has been established, and economic benefits related to dividends are likely to flow into the Group, and if the amount of dividends may be measured reliably, the dividend income is recognized and accounted in the profit and loss of the current period. 10.1.3 Financial asset at fair value through profit and loss For financial asset at fair value through profit and loss, subsequent measurement will be calculated at fair value, the profit or loss arising from changes in fair value and the dividend and interest income relating to such financial asset will be accounted in the profit and loss of the current period. 10.2 Impairment of financial assets For financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets that are classified as financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets, lease receivables, and financial guarantee contracts that do not meet the conditions for termination of recognition due to the transfer of financial assets or continue to be involved in financial liabilities formed by the transferred financial assets, the Group will handle impairment on the basis of expected credit loss and recognize loss provision. The Group's consideration of contract assets, notes receivable and accounts receivable that are generated by transactions regulated by revenue standards and do not contain significant financing components or that do not consider financing components in contracts that are not more than one year old, as well as those operating lease receivables formed from transactions that are defined by the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 21-Leasing, the loss reserve shall be measured based on the amount of the expected credit loss during the entire duration. For other financial instruments, other than acquired or generated financial assets which have incurred credit impairment already, the Group will assess on each balance sheet date the changes in credit risk of the relevant financial instruments 87 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 since initial recognition. If the credit risk of such financial asset has significantly increased after initial recognition, the Group will calculate its loss provision based on the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss for the entire subsisting period. If the credit risk of such financial asset since initial recognition has not increased significantly, the Group will calculate its loss provision according to the expected credit loss amount of such financial asset for the next 12 months. The amount of increase or reversal in the provision for credit loss, apart from financial assets classified as financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income, is accounted in the profit and loss of the current period. For financial asset classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Group will recognize its credit loss provision in other comprehensive income and charged the impairment loss or gain to the profit and loss of the current period, and will not decrease the book value of such financial asset presented in the balance sheet. The Group has calculated the loss provision equivalent to the expected credit loss amount for the entire subsisting period of the financial instrument in the preceding accounting period, but at the balance sheet date of the current period, such financial instrument is no longer under the condition of significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group calculates the loss provision for such financial instrument on the balance sheet date of the current period according to an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss for the next 12 months, and the resulting loss provision reversal amount will be counted as impairment gain and booked into the profit and loss of the current period. 10.2.1 Significant increase in credit risk The Group uses available and reasonable forward-looking information with justification, by comparing the default risk of the financial instrument at the balance sheet date with the default risk on the initial recognition date, to confirm whether the credit risk of the financial instrument has significantly increased after initial recognition. When using the financial instrument impairment rules for loan commitment and financial guarantee contracts, the date when the Group becomes a party of an irrevocable commitment is deemed as the initial recognition date. The Group considers the following factors when assessing whether the credit risk has significantly increased: (1) Whether a significant change has been caused to the internal price indicator due to changes in credit risk. (2) Whether the external credit rating of financial instrument has actual or expected significant changes. (3) Whether the actual or expected internal credit rating of the debtor has been downgraded. (4) Whether adverse changes have occurred in the business, finance or economic conditions which are expected to cause significant changes in the capability of the debtor to perform debt repayment obligations. (5) Whether actual or expected significant changes have occurred in the operating results of the debtor. (6) Whether significant adverse changes have occurred in the supervision, economic or technical environment in which the debtor operates. (7) Whether significant changes have occurred in the value of security pledged for the debt or the quality of guarantee or credit enhancement provided by third parties. Such changes are expected to reduce the debtor's economic motivation of repayment according to contractual term or influence the probability of default. (8) Whether significant changes have occurred in the economic motivation which will lower the expectation of 88 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 repayment by the borrower according to the contractual term. (9) Whether significant changes have occurred in the expected performance and repayment behavior of the debtor. Whether or not the credit risks increase significantly after the foregoing assessments, if any contractual payment for any financial instrument that overdue for over (including) 30 days, it indicates the credit risks of that financial instrument have increased significantly. On the balance sheet date, if the Group determines that the financial instrument only carries low credit risks, then it assumes that the credit risks of the financial instrument have not increased significantly since the initial recognition. If the risk of default on financial instruments is low, the borrower is highly able to perform its contractual cash flow obligations in the short term, and even if the economic situation and operating environment are adversely changed over a long period of time but not necessarily reducing the borrower's performance of its contractual cash obligations, the financial instrument is considered as having a lower credit risk. 10.2.2 Financial assets which have incurred credit impairment already When one or more events which will have adverse effect on the expected future cash flows from the financial asset of the Group have occurred, such financial asset will become a financial asset which have incurred credit impairment already. The evidence of credit impairment occurred in a financial asset includes the following observable information: (1) Material financial difficulties have occurred in the issuer or debtor; (2) Breach of contract by the debtor, such as default or overdue for the payment of interest or repayment of principal; (3) Due to economic or contractual considerations relating to financial difficulties of the debtor, the creditor has granted concession to the debtor under no other circumstances; (4) The debtor is likely to go bankrupt or carry out other financial restructuring; (5) The financial difficulties of the issuer or debtor have caused the disappearance of the active market for the financial asset; (6) The purchase or generation of a financial asset at a large discount, such discount reflects the fact of occurrence of credit loss. 10.2.3 Confirmation of expected credit loss The Group's accounts receivable and other receivables, that are individually significant and the debtor has serious financial difficulties, are determined on the basis of individual for its credit loss. The remaining accounts receivable and contract assets are divided into different portfolios according to the area and target of the business as a common risk characteristic and an impairment matrix is used to determine the credit losses of relevant financial instruments on a portfolio basis. For the remaining other receivables and long-term receivables, the credit loss of the relevant financial instrument is determined on a portfolio basis. Notes receivable and receivables are evaluated on a portfolio basis to determine credit losses by assessing the probability of breach and loss given default based on the credit rating of the acceptor as a common risk characteristic. 89 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 The Group confirms the expected credit loss of the relevant financial instrument according to the following method: In respect of financial assets and lease receivables, the credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flow that the group should receive and the cash flow that it expects to receive. In respect of a financial guarantee contract (for specific accounting policies, please refer to Note (III), 10.4.1.2.1), the credit loss is the present value of the difference between Group's expected payment amount for the compensation made to the contract holder due to the occurrence of credit loss and the amount expected to be received by the Group from such contract holder, debtor or any other parties. In respect of financial assets with credit impairment on the balance sheet date but they are not acquired or generated financial assets with credit impairment, the credit loss represents the difference between the balance of the book value of such financial asset and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted by the original effective interest rate. The factors reflected by the method used for calculating expected credit loss of financial instruments by the Group include: an unbiased weighted average amount determined by assessing a series of probable outcomes; time value of currency; reasonable and justifiable information relating to past events, prevailing conditions and forecast of future economic conditions obtained on the balance sheet date without incurring unnecessary additional cost or effort. 10.2.4 Write-off on financial asset When the Group ceases to have reasonable expectation on the possible collection of all or part of the contractual cash flows from the financial asset, the balance of book value of such financial asset will be written off directly. Such a write- off constitutes a derecognition of the relevant financial asset. 10.3 Transfer of financial asset A financial asset that fulfills one of the following conditions will be de-recognized: (1) termination of contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; (2) upon transfer of such financial asset and transfer of substantially all the risks and rewards in respect of the ownership of such financial asset to the transferee; (3) upon transfer of such financial asset, though the Group has not transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards in respect of the ownership of such financial asset, yet it has not retained the control over such financial asset. If the Group has not transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards in respect of the ownership of such financial asset, and has retained the control over such financial asset, then such transferred financial asset will continue to be recognized, and the relevant liabilities will continue to be recognized, according to the level of the Group's continuous involvement in such transferred financial asset. The relevant liabilities will be measured by the Group according to the following method: 90 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 If the transferred financial asset is measured by amortized cost, the book value of the relevant liabilities is equivalent to the book value of the transferred asset of continuous involvement less the amortized cost of the rights retained by the Group (if the Group has retained the relevant rights due to transfer of the financial asset) and plus the amortized cost of the obligations undertaken by the Group (if the Group has undertaken the relevant obligations due to transfer of the financial asset), and the relevant liabilities are not designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period. If the transferred financial asset is measured by fair value, the book value of the relevant liabilities is equivalent to the book value of the transferred asset of continuous involvement less the fair value of the rights retained by the Group (if the Group has retained the relevant rights due to transfer of the financial asset) and plus the fair value of the obligations undertaken by the Group (if the Group has undertaken the relevant obligations due to transfer of the financial asset), and the fair value of the rights and obligations shall be measured at the fair value on a separate basis. For full transfer, which satisfies the conditions of derecognition, of the financial assets, the difference between the sum of the book value of the transferred financial assets as at the date of derecognition and the consideration received from such transfer and the accumulated amount of change in fair value originally included in other comprehensive income, which corresponds to the amount in respect of derecognition, shall be recognized in the profit and loss for the current period. If the transfer of the financial assets by the Group is designated as investment in equity instrument held for non-trading purpose measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income shall be transferred out from other comprehensive income and be included in retained earnings. For transfer in part, which satisfies the conditions of derecognition, of the financial assets, the book value of the entire financial assets before the transfer shall be shared between the derecognized portion and the continuous recognition portion at their respective relative fair value on the date of transfer, and the difference between the sum of the consideration received from derecognition and the accumulated amount of change in fair value originally included in other comprehensive income, which corresponds to the amount in respect of derecognition, and the book value of the derecognized portion as at the date of derecognition shall be included in the profit and loss of the current period. If the transfer of the financial assets by the Group is designated as investment in equity instrument for non-trading purpose measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income shall be transferred out from other comprehensive income and be included in retained earnings. For full transfer, which does not satisfy the conditions of derecognition, of the financial assets, the Group will continue to recognize the entire financial assets transferred and the consideration received as a result of the asset transfer is recognized as a liability when received. 91 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 10.4 Classification, confirmation and measurement of financial liabilities and equity instruments Pursuant to the contractual terms of the issued financial instruments and the substantive economic condition as reflected, but not in legal terms only, combined with the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments, the Group has classified such financial instruments or the components thereof as financial liabilities or equity instruments upon initial recognition. 10.4.1 Classification, confirmation and measurement of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period and other financial liabilities upon initial recognition. 10.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period comprise of financial liabilities held for trading purpose (including derivatives of financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period. Except for derivatives of financial liabilities, which are presented separately, financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period are presented as financial liabilities held for trading. Financial liabilities that fulfill one of the following conditions suggest that the Group assumes such financial liabilities for trading purpose: Assumption of the relevant financial liabilities is mainly for the purpose of the recent repurchases. The relevant financial liabilities, upon initial recognition, are part of a portfolio of identifiable financial instruments under centralized management, and available objective evidence shows the recent and actual existence of a short- term profit-making model. The relevant financial liabilities are derivatives, except derivatives which satisfy the definition of financial guarantee contract and derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial liabilities can be designated, upon initial recognition, by the Group as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period, provided that they have satisfied one of the following conditions: (1) such designation can eliminate or substantially reduce accounting mismatches; (2) managing and evaluating the performance of portfolios of financial liabilities, or portfolios of financial assets and financial liabilities, on fair value basis and reporting internally to key personnel of the Group on this basis in accordance with the risk management or investment strategies specified in formal written documents of the Group; (3) hybrid contracts, with embedded derivatives, have satisfied the conditions. Financial liabilities held for trading purpose use fair value for subsequent measurement, gains or losses arise from changes in fair value and the dividends or interest expenses relating to such financial liabilities are accounted in the profit and loss of the current period. 92 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 For financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss of the current period, changes in fair value of such financial liabilities caused by changes in the Group's own credit risks shall be included in other comprehensive income, and other changes in fair value shall be included in the profit and loss of the current period. On derecognition of such financial liabilities, the accumulated amount of changes in fair value as a result of changes in our own credit risk included previously in other comprehensive income shall be transferred to retained earnings. Dividends or interest expenses relating to such financial liabilities shall be included in the profit and loss of the current period. If handling the effect of changes in credit risk of such financial liabilities according to the aforesaid method would cause or magnify the accounting mismatches in profit and loss, the Group will include all gains or losses of those financial liabilities (including the amount affected by changes in their own credit risk) in the profit and losses of the current period. 10.4.1.2 Other financial liabilities Excluding transfer of financial assets not complying with derecognition conditions, or financial liabilities as a result of continuous involvement in transferred financial assets, as well as the financial guarantee contracts, the other financial liabilities will be classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, subsequent measurement will be based on amortized cost, gains or losses on derecognition or amortization will be accounted in the profit and loss of the current period. If the Group and the counterparty have revised or renegotiated the contract, this has not resulted in the derecognition of financial liabilities measured at amortized cost for subsequent measurement, but has caused changes in the contractual cash flows, then the Group should recalculate the book value of such financial liabilities, and the relevant gains or losses shall be accounted in the profit and loss of the current period. The recalculated book value of such financial liabilities will be determined by the Group by discounting the cash flows from the renegotiated or revised contract with the original effect interest rate of the financial liabilities. All costs or expenses incurred in the revision or renegotiation of the contract will be reflected in the adjusted book value of financial liabilities after such revision, and will be amortized during the remaining period of the revised financial liabilities. 10.4.1.2.1 Financial guarantee contract Financial guarantee contract refers to a contract that requests the issuer to provide a specific amount of compensation to the contract holder who suffers losses when a specific debtor fails to repay the debt on due date according to the initial or revised terms of the debt instrument. In respect of financial liabilities which are not designated at fair value through profit and loss of the current period, or in respect of financial guarantee contract for financial liabilities arising from transfer of financial assets not complying with derecognition conditions or continuous involvement in the transferred financial assets, the measurement after initial recognition will be based on the amount of provision for losses, or the balance of initial recognized amount after deducting the accumulated amortized amount confirmed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Revenue Standard, whichever the higher. 10.4.2 Derecognition of financial liabilities When the existing obligations of a financial liability have been wholly or partially discharged, such financial liability or 93 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 such part of it will be derecognized. When the Group (as borrower) and the lender enter into an agreement to undertake new financial liabilities for replacing the original financial liabilities, if substantive difference exists in the contractual terms between the new financial liabilities and the original financial liabilities, the Group should derecognize the original financial liabilities while at the same time recognizes the new financial liabilities. When a financial liability is wholly or partially derecognized, the difference between the book value of the derecognized portion and the consideration paid (including non-cash asset transferred out or new financial liabilities undertaken) will be accounted in the profit and loss of the current period. 10.4.3 Equity instrument Equity instrument refers to a contract which can prove the ownership of remainder interest in assets after deducting all liabilities of the Group. The Group issues (including refinances), repurchases, sells or cancels equity instruments for treatment of changes in equity. The Group will not recognize changes in the fair value of equity instruments. Trading expenses relating to equity transactions will be deducted from equity. The Group's distribution to holder of equity instrument is treated as profit distribution, the share dividends paid out will not affect the total equity of shareholders. 10.5 Derivatives and embedded derivatives Derivatives include foreign exchange forward contract, foreign exchange option contract and interest rate swap contract, etc. Derivatives are measured at fair value initially on the date of signing the relevant contract and will be measured at fair value for subsequent measurement. For a hybrid contract constituted by an embedded derivative and a master contract, if the master contract is in respect of a financial asset, the Group will not split the embedded derivative from the hybrid contract, but will consider such hybrid contract as a whole unit to which the accounting standards and rules for classification of financial assets are applicable. If the master contract included in the hybrid contract is not in respect of a financial asset, and fulfills the following conditions at the same time, the Group will split the embedded derivative from the hybrid contract to be treated as a separate subsisting derivative: (1) The economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely connected to the economic characteristics and risks of the master contract. (2) A separate instrument containing the same terms as the embedded derivative fits the definition of a derivative. (3) The hybrid contract is not measured at fair value and changes in fair value are accounted through profit and loss of the current period. 94 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 If an embedded derivative is split from the hybrid contract, the accounting treatment adopted by the Group for the master contract within the hybrid contract will be in accordance with the applicable accounting standards and rules. If the Group is unable to measure the fair value of the embedded derivative reliably according to the terms and conditions of the embedded derivative, the fair value of such embedded derivative will be determined by the difference between the fair value of the hybrid contract and the fair value of the master contract. After adoption of the above method, if the fair value of such embedded derivative is still unable to be measured separately on the acquisition date or subsequent balance sheet date, the Group will designate the entire hybrid contract as a financial instrument measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period. 10.6 Offsetting between financial assets and financial liabilities When the Group has legal right to offset the recognized financial assets and financial liabilities, and such legal right is enforceable currently, while at the same time the Group plans to perform netting settlement, or to liquidate the financial asset and repay the financial liability at the same time, the amount after offsetting between the financial asset and financial liability will be presented in the balance sheet. Save as said above, the financial asset and financial liability are presented separately in the balance sheet without offsetting each other. 11. Receivables for financing Among the notes receivable measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the ones with a term of less than (including) one year since they are acquired will be listed as receivables for financing; the ones with a term of more than (including) one year since they are acquired will be listed as other debt investment. The relevant accounting policy is explained in Note (III), 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3. 12. Inventories 12.1 Categories of inventories The Group's inventory mainly includes finished products, products in process, raw materials, and contract performance costs held in daily activities. Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other expenditures incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. 12.2 Valuation method of inventories upon delivery The actual cost of inventories upon delivery is calculated using the moving weighted average method. 95 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 12.3 Basis for determining net realizable value of inventories The inventory is measured according to cost and net realizable value, whichever is lower, on the date of balance sheet. When the net realizable value is lower than cost, withdraw inventory impairment reserves. The net realizable value refers to the amount derived by deducting the potential cost, estimated selling expense and relative taxes to the completion date from the estimated sales price of inventory in daily activities. When determining net realizable value of inventories, take the obtained conclusive evidence as basis and consider the purposes of holding inventories and influence of events after the balance sheet date. For the low-price stocks in large quantity, provision for the inventory price drops will be made based on the categories of stocks; for the stocks that are related to the products manufactured and sold in the same region, that have identical or similar ultimate use or purpose and that are hard to separate from other items when being measured, they are consolidated for provision for the inventory price drops; for other stocks, the provision for the inventory price drops will be made based on the cost of a single stock item in excess of the net realizable value. After provision for inventory depreciation reserves is made, if the factors resulting in the write-down of inventory impairment have disappeared and causing the net realizable value higher than its book value, such inventory impairment provision are recovered and reversed, and the reversed amount recorded in profits and losses of the current period. 12.4 Inventory count system The perpetual inventory system is maintained for stock system. 12.5 Amortization method for low cost and short-lived consumable items and packaging materials Packaging materials and low cost and short-lived consumable items are amortized using the immediate write-off method. 13. Contract assets 13.1 Method and standard for determination of contract assets Contract assets refer to the Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. The Group's unconditional (i.e., depending on the passage of time only) right to receive consideration from the customer is separately presented as receivables. 96 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 13.2 Methods for determining and accounting of expected credit loss of contract assets For details of methods for determining and accounting of expected credit loss of contract assets, please refer to Note (III)- 10.2 Impairment of financial instruments. 14. Assets held for sale Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale category when the Group recovers the book value through a sale (including an exchange of non-monetary assets that has commercial substance) rather than continuing use. Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are required to satisfy the following conditions at the same time: (1) the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset or disposal group; (2) the sale is highly probable, i.e. the Group has made a resolution about a selling plan and obtained a confirmed purchase commitment and the sale is expected to be completed within one year. Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the book value and the net amount of the fair value less the cost of disposal. Where the carrying amount is higher than the net amount of fair value less the cost of disposal, the carrying amount should be reduced to the net amount of fair value less the cost of disposal, and such reduction is recognized as impairment loss of assets and included in profit or loss for the period. In the meantime, provision for impairment of held-for-sale assets is made. When there is an increase in the net amount of fair value of non- current assets held for sale less the cost of disposal at the subsequent balance sheet date, the original deduction should be reversed from impairment loss of assets recognized after the classification as held for sale, and the reversed amount is included in profit or loss for the period. The impairment loss of assets recognized before the classification as held for sale is not reversed. Non-current assets or non-current assets within disposal groups classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortized, and the interests and other costs of liabilities of disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognized. All or part of equity investments in an associate or joint venture are classified as held-for-sale assets. For the part that is classified as held for sale, it is no longer accounted through equity method since the date of the classification. 15. Long-term equity investment 15.1 Basis for determining joint control and significant influence over investee Control is the power to govern an entity through participating in relevant activities of the investee; the investor is able to obtain variable benefits from its activities, and at same time, to use the control rights on the investee to influence the amount of returns. Joint control means that joint control for certain arrangement in accordance with relevant agreements; 97 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 activities relevant to the arrangement cannot be decided until obtaining the unanimous consent of parties sharing control right. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. When determining whether an investing enterprise is able to exercise control or significant influence over an investee, the effect of potential voting rights of the investee, such as current convertible debts, current executable warrants, etc., held by the investing enterprises or other parties shall be considered. 15.2 Determination of initial investment cost For a long-term equity, investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the shares of merged party's book value of owners' equity in the final controlling party consolidated financial statements obtained on the merger date shall be considered as the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment. The differences between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment and the paid cash, the transferred non-cash assets and the book value of the assumed debts are adjusted against the capital surplus; if the capital surplus is not sufficient to be offset, the remaining balance is adjusted against retained earnings. In the case of issued equity securities treated as consolidation consideration, share of book value of owner's equity of merged party in the final controlling party consolidated financial statements is regarded as initial investment cost of long-term equity investments on the date of consolidation; capital reserve shall be adjusted in accordance with taking total nominal value of issued share as capital share, the difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments and total book value of issued shares; In case the capital reserve is not enough for writing down, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving enterprises under common control, and the merging cost confirmed on the purchased date are regarded as the initial investment cost. In the case that the equity of the acquiree is obtained through multiple deals in stages to finally form the business combination not under the common control, the business combination shall be handled differently based on whether it is "package deal": where it is package deal, the Company accounts each deal as a deal to obtain the control. If the deal is not a "package deal", the sum of the carrying amount of the equity investment of the acquiree plus the cost of the new investment shall be used as the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment calculated according to the cost method. The equity originally held is accounted for by the equity method, and the relevant other comprehensive income will not be accounted for the time being. Where the original equity investment is an investment in a non-traded equity instrument designated to be measured at fair value and the change in which is included in other comprehensive income, the difference between its fair value and carrying value, and the cumulative change in fair value originally recognized in other comprehensive income, are transferred to retained earnings. The intermediate expenses made by the combining party or purchaser for audit, legal service, assessment and other management related expenses during the business merger should be included into the current profit and loss as it happens. Long-term equity investment obtained by other means other than long-term equity investment formed by business 98 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 combination shall be initially measured at cost. 15.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss 15.3.1 Long-term equity investment accounted for using the cost method Long-term equity investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method in the Company's financial statements. A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by the Group. The long-term equity investment accounted by the cost method shall be measured at its initial investment cost. If there are additional investments or disinvestments, the long-term equity investment cost shall be adjusted. Income from the investment in the current period shall be recognized in accordance with the cash dividends or profits declared and issued by the investee. 15.3.2 Long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity method Except for investments in associates and joint ventures that are wholly or partly classified as holding assets for sale, the Group accounts for investment in associates and joint ventures using the equity method. An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and a joint venture is an entity over which the Group can only exercise joint control along with other investors on the investee's net assets. Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, no adjustment is made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the difference is recognized in profit or loss for the period, and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. Under the equity method, the Group recognizes its share of the net profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the investee for the period as investment income or loss and comprehensive income for the period, meanwhile, the book value of the long-term equity investment shall be adjusted; The Group shall accordingly reduce the book value of the long-term equity investment in terms of the part that shall be enjoyed according to the profit or cash dividends declared by the invested unit to be distributed; For other changes in the owners' equity of the invested unit other than net profits and losses, other comprehensive incomes and the profit distribution, the book value of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted and be included into the capital reserves. The Group shall, on the ground of the fair value of all identifiable assets of the invested entity when it obtains the investment, recognize the attributable share of the net profits and losses of the invested entity after it adjusts the net profits of the invested entity. If the accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the invested unit are different from those adopted by the Group, the adjustment shall be made for the financial statements of 99 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 the invested unit in accordance with the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Group to recognize the investment income and other comprehensive incomes. For the transaction incurred between the group and associated enterprises and joint ventures, invested or sold assets don't constitute a business, the part that doesn't achieve internal transaction profit or loss or belongs to the Group calculated according to the enjoyed ratio will be offset, and the profit or loss on investment will be confirmed on this basis. But for the unrealized loss arising from the internal transaction between the Group and the invested unit, if such transaction loss is defined as the impairment loss of the transferred asset, they cannot be offset. When the Group determines the net loss of the invested unit that shall be shared, it is necessary to write-down the book value of the long-term equity investment and other long-term equities substantially constituting the net investment of the invested unit to zero as a limit. Besides, if the Group is obliged to bear extra loss for the invested unit, it shall be necessary to determine provisions and record them to current investment loss in compliance with obligations expected to be assumed. If the invested unit realizes any net profits later, the Group shall, after the amount of its attributable share of profits offsets its attributable share of the un-confirmed losses, resume recognizing its attributable share of profits. 15.4 Disposal of long-term equity investments On disposal of a long-term equity investment, the difference between the proceeds actually received and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period. 16. Fixed assets 16.1 Recognition criteria for fixed assets Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and have useful lives of more than one accounting year. A fixed asset is recognized only when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Fixed assets are initially measured at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred for the fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset and if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the subsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Meanwhile the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 16.2 Depreciation of each category of fixed assets A fixed asset is depreciated over its useful life using the straight-line method since the month subsequent to the one in which it is ready for intended use. The useful life, estimated net residual value rate and annual depreciation rate of each 100 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 category of fixed assets are as follows: Class Depreciation period Residual value rate (%) Annual depreciation rate (%) Buildings and constructions 20 years 10 4.5 General-purpose equipment 3-5 years 10 18.0-30.0 Special-purpose equipment 3-5 years 10 18.0-30.0 Means of transportation 5 years 10 18.0 Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. 16.3 Other explanations If a fixed asset is upon disposal or no future economic benefits are expected to be generated from its use or disposal, the fixed asset is derecognized. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes is recognized in profit or loss for the period. The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied at least once at each financial year-end, and account for any change as a change in an accounting estimate. 17. Construction in process Construction in progress is measured at its actual costs. The actual costs include various construction expenditures during the construction period, borrowing costs capitalized before it is ready for intended use and other relevant costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated. Construction in progress is transferred to a fixed asset when it is ready for intended use. 18. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition & construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization shall be capitalized when assets expenditure, borrowing costs and necessary construction or production for bringing assets to expected conditions for use or marketing have taken place; when construction or production of assets ready for capitalization reach to expected conditions for use or marketing, capitalization shall be ceased. Other borrowing expenses are recognized as expenses in the current period. Where funds are borrowed under a specific-purpose borrowing, the amount of interest to be capitalized is the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before 101 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 being used on the asset or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds. Where funds are borrowed under general-purpose borrowings, the Group determines the amount of interest to be capitalized on such borrowings by applying a capitalization rate to the weighted average of the excess of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings. The capitalization rate is the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings. During the capitalization period, exchange differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency are all capitalized. Exchange differences in connection with general-purpose borrowings are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 19. Intangible assets 19.1 Intangible assets valuation method, service life and impairment test Intangible assets include land use right, intellectual property (IP), application software, and franchise, etc. An intangible asset is measured initially at cost. When an intangible asset with a finite useful life is available for use, its original cost is amortized over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The useful life and predicted net residual value of various intangible assets are shown as follows: Class Service life Salvage value rate (%) Land use right 40 or 50 years - IP Right 10 Years - Application Software 5-10 years - Franchise Franchised operating period - The fees charged by the Group to those who acquire public products and services during the project operation period do not constitute an unconditional right to receive cash. When the PPP project assets are ready for their intended use, the difference between the consideration amount of the relevant PPP project assets or the amount of confirmed construction income and the amount of cash (or other financial assets) that is entitled to receive a determinable amount will be recognized as intangible assets. For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, the Group reviews the useful life and amortization method at the end of the period, and makes adjustments when necessary. For the impairment test of intangible assets, please refer to Note (III), 20. Long-term asset impairment. 102 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 19.2 Accounting policy for internal research and development expenditure Expenditure during the research phase is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure during the development phase that meets all of the following conditions at the same time is recognized as intangible asset. Expenditure during development phase that does not meet the following conditions is recognized in profit or loss for the period. (1) It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; (2) The Group has the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (3) The Group can demonstrate the ways in which the intangible asset will generate economic benefits, including the evidence of 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 the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; and (5) The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliably measured. If the expenditures cannot be distinguished between the research phase and development phase, the Group recognizes all of them in profit or loss for the period. The costs of the intangible assets generated by internal development activities only include the total expenditure incurred from the time point when the capitalization conditions are available to the point when the intangible assets are used for their intended purposes; for the expenditure that already becomes an expenditure in the profit and loss statement before the capitalization conditions are available during development of the same intangible asset, no adjustment will be made. 20. Long-term assets impairment The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that the long-term equity investment, fixed assets, construction in process, and intangible assets with a finite useful life may be impaired. If there is any indication that such assets may be impaired, recoverable amounts are estimated for such assets. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the assets may be impaired. Recoverable amount is estimated on individual basis. If it is not practical to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs will be estimated. The recoverable amount is determined by the higher of 1) net amount of fair value of the asset or asset group deducted by the disposal expenses; or 2) the present value of the expected future cash flows of the asset or asset group. 103 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 If the recoverable amount of an asset or an asset group is less than its carrying amount, the deficit is accounted as an impairment provision and is recognized in profit or loss for the period. Goodwill impairment test shall be conducted at the end of each year at least. Goodwill impairment test shall be conducted in accordance with the concerned asset group or asset portfolio. That is to allocate the book value of goodwill to the asset group or asset portfolio that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination in a reasonable way from the date of purchasing. When recoverable amount of apportion-included asset group or asset portfolio of goodwill is less than book value of goodwill, impairment loss shall be recognized. Firstly, amount of impairment loss shall be apportioned to the book value of goodwill of the said asset group or asset portfolio, and then book value of other assets, except for goodwill, in asset group or asset portfolio shall be abated in proportion. Once the impairment loss of such assets is recognized, it cannot be reversed in any subsequent period. 21. Long-term deferred expenses Long-term deferred expenses are the expenses that are already incurred but will be shared in the current reporting period and later periods with amortization term of more than one year, mainly for the expenses on betterment of leased fixed assets and employee housing loan deferred interest. Long-term deferred expenses are evenly amortized in installments in three to five years during the expected benefit period. 22. Contract liabilities Contract liabilities refer to the obligation of the Group to transfer goods or services to customers for consideration received or receivable from customers. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented in net terms. 23. Employee compensation 23.1 Accountant arrangement method of short-term remuneration During accounting period when the Group's employees provide services, actual short-term remuneration shall be recognized as the liabilities and current profit and loss or relevant asset cost. The Group's employee benefits and welfare are included into current profit and loss or relevant asset cost according to actual amount occurred during the period. If the employee benefits and welfare is non-monetary, it shall be measured according to its fair value. During the accounting period that the employees service the Group, the Group pays social insurance premiums such as medical insurance premium, industrial injury insurance premium, maternity insurance premium and housing accumulation fund for its employees, as well as labor union expenditure and employee education expenses calculated and withdrawn according to the regulations, corresponding employee remuneration amount shall be calculated and determined in 104 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 accordance with specified calculation and withdrawal basis and proportion to recognize corresponding liabilities and included into the current profit and loss or relevant asset cost. 23.2 Accountant arrangement method of post-employment benefits All post-employment benefits shall be considered as the defined contribution plan. In the accounting period when the employee serves for the Group, the deposited amount calculated based on defined contribution plan shall be recognized as liabilities and included in the current profit and loss or relevant asset cost. 23.3 Accountant arrangement method of the termination benefits Where the Group provides termination benefits, the employee remuneration liabilities caused by such termination benefits will be determined as the following date, whichever is earlier, and will be included in the current profit and loss: 1) When the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the termination benefits provided due to labor relation cancellation plan or employee lay-off suggestion; or 2)when the Group determines costs or expenses in relation with the restructuring of the paid termination benefits. 24. Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation related to a contingency such as products quality assurance, etc. And it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account factors pertaining to a contingency such as the risks, uncertainties and time value of money. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. 25. Share-based payment Share-based payment refers to a transaction in which the Group grants the equity instruments or undertakes the equity- instrument-based liabilities in return for services from employees. The Group's share-based payment is an equity-settled share-based payment. 105 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 25.1 Equity-settled share-based payments Equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted to employees at the grant date. Such amount is recognized as related costs or expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in capital reserve. At each balance sheet date during the vesting period, the Group makes the best estimate according to the subsequent latest information of change in the number of employees who are granted with options that may vest, etc. and revises the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The effect of the above estimate is recognized as related costs or expenses, with a corresponding adjustment to capital reserve. 25.2 Accounting treatment related to implementation, modification and termination of share-based payment arrangement In case the Group modifies a share-based payment arrangement, if the modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Group will include the incremental fair value of the equity instruments granted in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received. If the modification increases the number of the equity instruments granted, the Group will include the fair value of additional equity instruments granted in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received. The increase in the fair value of the equity instruments granted is the difference between fair value of the equity instruments before and after the modification on the date of the modification. If the Group modifies the terms or conditions of the share-based payment arrangement in a manner that reduces the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is not otherwise beneficial to the employee, the Group will continue to account for the services received as if that modification had not occurred, other than a cancellation of some or all the equity instruments granted. If cancellation of the equity instruments granted occurs during the vesting period, the Group will account for the cancellation of the equity instruments granted as an acceleration of vesting, and recognize immediately the amount that otherwise would have been recognized over the remainder of the vesting period in profit or loss for the period, with a corresponding recognition in capital reserve. When the employee or counterparty can choose whether to meet the non- vesting condition but the condition is not met during the vesting period, the Group treats it as a cancellation of the equity instruments granted. 26. Revenue 26.1 Accounting policies applied in revenue recognition and measurement The revenue of the Group is mainly generated from business types as follows: (1) Revenue from sale of products Product sales revenue is the revenue from sales of video surveillance products, smart home products, robotics products and other products of the Group. 106 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 (2) Project construction revenue Project construction revenue is the revenue from constructions related to intelligent security solution projects and PPP projects provided by the Group. (3) Cloud service and other service revenue Revenue from cloud services and other services refers to cloud services such as storage services, video services, and telephone services provided by the Group, maintenance services related to security projects, and other services, etc. When (or as) a performance obligation in a contract was satisfied, i.e., when (or as) the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services, the Group recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to that performance obligation. A performance obligation is the Group's commitment to transfer to a customer a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct, in a contract with the customer. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties and amounts that the Group expects to refund to the customer. The Group evaluates the contract on the commencement date of the contract, identifies the individual performance obligations contained in the contract and determines whether each individual performance obligation is to be performed over a certain period of time or at a certain point in time. Revenue is recognized over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met: (1) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's performance as the Group performs; (2) the Group's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or (3) the Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct good or service. The Group adopts the output method to determine the progress of performance, that is, the progress of contract performance is determined according to the value of the goods or services that have been transferred to the customer in the view of the customer. When the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined, and the costs incurred can be expected to be compensated, the Group recognizes revenue based on the amount of costs incurred until the performance progress can be reasonably determined. If the contract contains two or more performance obligations, the Group allocates the transaction price to each single performance obligation on the contract start date in accordance with the relative proportion of the individual selling price of the goods or services promised by each single performance obligation. However, if there is strong evidence that the contract discount or variable consideration is only related to one or more (but not all) performance obligations in the contract, the Group allocates the contract discount or variable consideration to the relevant one or more performances obligation. Individual selling price refers to the price at which the Group sells goods or services to customers separately. Where the individual selling price cannot be directly observed, the Group comprehensively considers all relevant information that can be reasonably obtained, and uses the observable input value to the maximum to estimate the individual selling price. 107 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 If there is variable consideration in the contract, the Group determines the best estimate of variable consideration based on the expected value or the most likely amount. The transaction price including variable consideration shall not exceed the amount that is likely to cause no significant reversal of accumulated recognized revenue when the relevant uncertainty is eliminated. At each balance sheet date, the Group re-estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price. For sales with sales return terms attached, as the customer obtains ownership of related goods, the Group recognizes revenue in accordance with the consideration (excluding expected refund amounts due to sales returns) that the Group is expected to receive due to the transfer of goods or services to the customer, and recognizes expected liabilities in accordance with expected refund amounts due to sales returns. The remaining amount, subsequent to deduction of expected costs from collecting the goods (including the decrease in value of the returned goods), is recognized as an asset in accordance with the carrying amount during the expected transfer of returned goods after deducting the costs of the above net assets carried forward. For sales with quality assurance clauses, if the quality assurance provides a separate service beyond the assurance to the customer that the goods or services sold meet established standards, the quality assurance constitutes a single performance obligation. Otherwise, the Group conducts accounting for quality assurance responsibilities in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 13-Contingencies. The additional purchase option of customers includes customer reward incentives. With respect to the additional purchase option with material rights provided to customers, the Group regards it as a single performance obligation, and recognizes relevant revenue upon obtaining the control over relevant goods or services by the customers who exercise the purchase option in future or upon lapse of such option. If a stand-alone selling price of the additional purchase option of customers is not directly observable, the Group shall consider all relevant information including the difference in discount obtained with and without the exercise of such option by customers and the possibility of exercising such option by customers during estimation. If there is a significant financing component in the contract, the Group determines the transaction price based on the amount payable in cash when the customer assumes control of the goods or services. The difference between the transaction price and the contract consideration is amortized using the effective interest rate method during the contract period. On the contract commencement date, the Group does not consider the significant financing components in the contract if the interval between the customer obtaining control of the goods or services and the price being paid by the customer is not more than one year. The Group judges whether the Group's identity is the principal or agent when engaging in transactions based on whether it has control over the goods or services before transferring the goods or services to customers. If the Group is able to control the goods or services before transferring them to customers, the Group is the principal responsible person, and revenue is recognized based on the total amount of consideration received or receivable; otherwise, the Group is an agent 108 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 and recognizes revenue based on the amount of commissions or fees which the Group is expected to be entitled to charge. The amount of commissions or fees is determined based on the total amount of consideration received or receivable net of the amount payable to other parties. When the Group collects amounts of sold goods or services in advance from the customer, the Group will firstly recognize the amounts as a liability and then transfer to revenue until satisfying relevant performance obligations. When the advances from customers is non-refundable and the customer may give up all or part of contract right, and the Group is expected to be entitled to obtain amounts associated with contract rights given up by the customer, the above amounts shall be proportionally recognized as revenue in accordance with the model of exercising contract rights by the customer; otherwise, the Group will transfer the relevant balance of the above liability to revenue only when the probability is extremely low for the customer to satisfy remaining performance obligations. The Group, as a private capital, entered into a PPP project contract with the government and provided construction, operation, maintenance and other services. The Group identifies each individual performance obligation in the contract, and allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative proportion of the stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation. When providing construction services or outsourcing projects to other parties, whether the identity of the Group is the principle or agent is determined, and then accounting for construction revenue to confirm the contract assets is made. After the PPP project is ready for use, the Group recognizes revenue related to operation and maintenance services. 27. Cost of contract 27.1 Cost of obtaining a contract Incremental costs incurred by the Group to obtain a contract (that is, costs that would not have occurred without a contract) and expected to be recovered are recognized as an asset, and amortized using the same basis as revenue recognition for the goods or services to which the asset relates, and included in current profit or loss. If the amortization period of the asset does not exceed one year, it is included in current profit or loss when it occurs. Other expenses incurred by the Group in order to obtain the contract shall be included in current profit or loss when incurred, unless it is clearly borne by the customer. 27.2 Cost of contract fulfillment The cost of the Group's performance of a contract that does not fall within the scope of accounting standards other than the revenue standard and meets the following conditions is recognized as an asset: (1) The cost is directly related to a current or anticipated contract; (2) The cost increases the Group's resources for fulfilling performance obligations in the future; (3) The cost is expected to be recovered. The aforesaid assets are amortized on the same basis as the recognition of income from goods or services related to the assets, and are included in the current profit or loss. The Group's asset in 109 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 relation to contract costs are mainly contract performance costs, and they are included in inventories based on their current nature. 27.3 Impairment losses on assets related to contract costs In determining impairment losses on assets related to contract costs, impairment losses are first determined for other assets recognized in accordance with other relevant ASBEs and related to the contract. Then, for assets related to contract costs whose carrying value is higher than the difference between the following two items, the Group makes provision for impairment for the excess to be recognized as asset impairment losses: (1) the remaining amount of consideration expected to be obtained by the Group for the transfer of goods or services related to the asset; (2) the estimated costs to be incurred in connection with the transfer of such relevant goods or services. After provision for impairment is made for the asset related to contract costs, if the difference between the above two items is higher than the carrying value of the asset due to changes in the factors of impairment in previous periods, the original provision for impairment of the asset is reversed and included in the current profit or loss, but the carrying value of the asset after the reversal shall not exceed the carrying value of the asset on the reversal date assuming no provision for impairment is made. 28. Types of governmental subsidies and accounting treatment methods Government subsidies refer to the monetary and non-monetary assets obtained by the Group from the government for free. Government subsidies are recognized when they can meet the conditions attached to the government subsidies and can be received. If a government subsidy is a monetary asset, it shall be measured at the amount received or receivable. 28.1 Judgment basis and Accountant treatment of government subsidy related to assets The government subsidies for Chongqing Manufacture Base construction and etc. are used for constructions and forms long-term assets, and therefore are categorized as government subsidy related to assets. A government grant related to an asset is recognized as deferred income, and it should be evenly amortized to profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset. 110 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 28.2 Judgment basis and accountant treatment of government subsidy related to income The Group receives government subsidies including subsidies for special projects and Value-Added-Tax refund, etc., which are used to compensate the group-related costs or losses, and therefore are categorized as government subsidy related to income. For a government grant related to income, if the subsidy is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred in subsequent periods, it is recognized as deferred income, and recognized in profit or loss over the periods in which the related costs or losses are recognized; If the subsidy, such as VAT refund, is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred, it is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period. For government subsidies related to the Group's daily operations shall be booked into other income; for those not related to the Group's daily operations, shall be booked into non-operating income/expense. 29. Deferred tax assets / deferred tax liabilities The income tax expenses include current income tax and deferred income tax. 29.1 Current income tax At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax laws. 29.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities For temporary differences between the carrying amounts of certain assets or liabilities and their tax base, or between the nil carrying amount of those items that are not recognized as assets or liabilities and their tax base that can be determined according to tax laws, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized through the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax is generally recognized for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. However, for temporary differences associated with the initial recognition of goodwill and the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from a transaction (not a business combination) that affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profits (or deductible losses) at the time of transaction, no deferred tax asset or liability is recognized. For deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilized. 111 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. On the balance sheet date, the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the applicable tax rates in the period in which the related assets are recovered or the related liabilities are recovered in accordance with the tax laws. Current and deferred tax expenses or income are recognized in profit or loss for the period, except when they arise from transactions or events that are directly recognized in other comprehensive income or in shareholders' equity, in which case they are recognized in other comprehensive income or in shareholders' equity; and when they arise from business combinations, in which case they adjust the carrying amount of goodwill. At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed and reduced if it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to allow the benefit of deferred tax assets to be utilized. Such reduction in amount is reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. 29.3 Offset of income tax When the Group has a legal right to settle on a net basis and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis. When the Group has a legal right to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, and deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be reversed, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis. 30. Lease Lease refers to a contract that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the inception date. The Group does not re-assess whether 112 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 a contract contains a lease unless the terms and conditions of the contract are changed. 30.1 The Group as the lessee 30.1.1 Separating components of lease In case the contract contains one or more lease and non-lease components, the Group separates each lease component and non-lease component, and allocates the consideration to the lease and non-lease components based on the proportion of relative stand-alone prices of the components. 30.1.2 Right-of-use assets The Group recognizes the right-of-use assets for leases on the commencement date of the lease term, except for short-term lease and lease of low-value assets. The commencement date of the lease term refers to the date from which the lessor makes the leased assets available for use by the Group. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. The cost includes: Initial measurement amount of lease liabilities; Amount of lease payment made at or before the commencement date of the lease, less any lease incentives received; Initial direct costs incurred by the Group; An estimate of any costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, or restoring the site on which it is located, or restoring the leased assets to the conditions as agreed under the terms of the lease, excluding costs incurred to produce inventories. The Group calculates depreciation of the right-of-use assets in accordance with the relevant depreciation provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 4 - Fixed Assets. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the right-of-use asset, unless there is a transfer of ownership or purchase option which is reasonably certain to be exercised at the end of the lease term. The Group determines whether the right-of-use assets are impaired and accounts for the identified impairment loss in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 - Impairment of Assets. 30.1.3 Lease liabilities The Group initially measures the lease liability on the commencement date at an amount equal to the present value of the lease payments during the lease term that are not paid at that date, except short-term lease and lease of low-value assets. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Group adopts the interest rate implicit in the lease as the discount rate. The Group uses its incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. Lease payments refer to the payments made by the Group to the lessor in connection with the right to use the leased asset during the lease term, including: Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable; 113 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 The exercise price of a purchase option, if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; Payments for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising the option to terminate the lease; Amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees. After the commencement date of the lease term, the Group calculates interest expense of lease liabilities in each period of lease term at fixed periodic rate and recognizes in the current loss and profit or relevant asset costs. After the commencement date of the lease term, the Group re-measures the lease liability and adjusts the corresponding right-of-use assets under the following circumstances. If the carrying value of the right-of-use assets has been reduced to zero while the lease liability needs to be further reduced, the Group will recognize the difference into the current loss and profit: In case of any change of the lease term or any change in the valuation of the purchase option, the Group re-measures the lease liability at the present value calculated based on the modified lease payments and the revised discount rate; In the event of any change in the amount expected to be payable based on the residual value guarantees, the Group re-measures the lease liability at the present value calculated based on the changed lease payments and the original discount rate. 30.1.4 Short-term lease and lease of low-value assets The Group has elected not to recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and leases of low- value assets. Short-term lease refers to lease with a term no more than 12 months from the commencement date of lease term and without purchase option. Lease of low-value assets refers to lease for single lease asset with low value when it is new. The Group recognizes lease payments under short-term leases and leases of low-value assets as the current loss and profit or the relevant asset costs on a straight-line basis over each period during the lease term. 30.1.5 Lease modification In case of lease modification, the Group makes accounting treatment of such lease change as a separate lease if all of the following conditions are met: Such lease modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more lease assets; The increased consideration is commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract. Where accounting treatment is not made for lease modification as a separate lease, at the effective date of lease modification, the Group reallocates the contract consideration after the modification, redetermines the lease term, and re- measures the lease liability based on the present value calculated according to the modified lease payments and the revised discount rate. In the event that the lease scope is decreased or the lease term is shortened as a result of the lease modification, the Group 114 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 reduces the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets, and recognizes the relevant gains or losses relating to the partial or full termination of the lease in the income statement; for the lease liabilities re-measured due to other lease modifications, the Group adjusts the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets accordingly. 30.1.6 Sale-leaseback transactions The Group as the seller-lessee The Group assesses and determines whether the transfer of the asset in sale and leaseback transaction qualifies as a sale in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue. If the transfer does not qualify as a sale, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset and at the same time recognize a financial liability equal to the transfer proceeds and account for the financial liability in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. If the transfer of the asset qualifies as a sale, the Group measures the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback as the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained. The gain or loss recognized is limited to the proportion of the total gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the lessor. 30.2 The Group as the lessor 30.2.1 Separating components of lease In case the contract contains both lease and non-lease components, the Group allocates the contract consideration in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue on portion of transaction prices, based on the respective stand-alone prices of the lease component and the non-lease component. 30.2.2 Classification of lease Finance lease is a lease that substantially transfers all the risks and rewards of incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Operating lease refers to the leases other than finance lease. 30.2.2.1 The Group records the operating lease business as the lessor The Group recognizes the lease payments from operating leases as rental income on a straight-line basis for all periods over the lease term. The Group's initial direct costs incurred in connection with operating leases is capitalized as incurred, recognized in the income statement over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. 30.2.2.2 The Group records the finance lease business as the lessor On the commencement date of the lease term, the Group uses the net lease investment as the carrying value of the finance lease receivables and derecognizes the finance lease assets. Net lease investment is the sum of present value of unguaranteed residual value and lease payments receivable discounted at the interest rate implicit in lease on the 115 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 commencement date of the lease term. Lease payments receivable, which refer to amounts receivable by the Group from the lessee for conveying the right to use the leased assets during the lease term, include: Fixed payment including in-substance fixed payments by the lessee, less any lease incentives payable; The exercise price of a purchase option, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; Payments for terminating the lease (if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising the option to terminate the lease; Residual value guarantees provided to the Group by the lessee, a party related to the lessee, or a third party unrelated to the lessor that is capable of discharging the obligations under the guarantee. The Group calculates and recognizes the interest income in each period of the lease term according to the fixed periodic interest rate. 30.2.3 Lease modification In case of a medication of the operating lease, the Group accounts for it as a new lease as of the effective date of the modification, any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the original lease are considered as payments for the new lease . In case of modification of finance lease, the Group accounts for the modification of a finance lease as a separate lease if all of the following conditions are met: The modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more lease assets; The consideration for the lease increases by an amount that is commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope, and any appropriate adjustments to that price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract. If a modification of finance lease is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group accounts for the changed lease under the following circumstances: If the modification becomes effective on the commencement date of the lease and the lease is classified as an operating lease, the Group accounts for it as a new lease from the effective date of the lease modification and measures as the net lease investment prior to the effective date of the lease modification as the carrying value of the leased asset. If the modification becomes effective on the commencement date of the lease and the lease is classified as a finance lease, the Group accounts for it in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments regarding the modification or renegotiation of contracts. 30.2.4 Sale and leaseback transaction The Group as the buyer-lessor 116 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 If the transfer of the asset in a sale and leaseback transaction does not qualify as a sale, the Group does not recognize the transferred asset, but recognizes a financial asset equal to the transfer proceeds and account for the financial asset in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. If the transfer of the asset qualifies as a sale, the Group accounts for the purchase of the asset in accordance with other applicable Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and account for the lease of the asset. 31. Important judgments while applying accounting policy, and key assumptions and uncertainty factors applied for accounting estimate During the process of using accounting policy described in note (III), due to the uncertainty in operation activities, the group should judge, estimate and assume the book value of the report items which may not be metered reliably. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on the historical experience of the Group's management and other related factors. Differences may exist between the actual results and the Group's estimate. The Group regularly reviews the above judgments, assumptions and estimations on the basis of continuous operation. If the changes of accounting estimate only influence current period, the influence amount will be affirmed during the changing period; if it influences the current period and subsequent periods, the influence amount will be recognized in the current period and future period. - Key assumptions and uncertainties used in accounting estimate On balance sheet date, key assumptions and uncertainties for performing accounting estimates on book value of assets and liabilities in subsequent future periods are: Impairment provision for inventories Except for contract performance costs, inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. For raw materials, the latest or future actual purchase price is used as the basis for determining the net realizable value; For products in progress, the actual selling price of the latest or future finished product minus the estimated costs and costs that will be incurred when similar products are completed in the current period, the estimated selling expenses and related taxes to be incurred, is used as the basis for determining the net realizable value; For finished products, the actual selling price of the latest or future finished product minus the estimated selling expenses and related taxes will be incurred, is used as the basis for determining the net realizable value. The Group will regularly conduct a comprehensive stocktaking to review the impairment circumstances on defective, obsoleted or slow-moving inventory if any; in addition, the Group's management will regularly review the impairment circumstance of inventory with long storage time according to the inventory aging list. The review procedure includes the comparison between book value of defective, obsoleted or slow-moving inventories and inventory with long storage time and its corresponding net realizable value in order to determine whether to withdraw 117 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 provisions on the defective, obsoleted or slow-moving inventory and inventory with long storage time. Based on the above procedure, the Group's management deems that the full provision amounts have been withdrawn for inventory. For details, please refer to Note (V) 8. Impairment of accounts receivable Except for accounts receivable whose credit losses are determined on the basis of individual basis, the Group adopts an impairment matrix on a portfolio basis to determine its expected credit loss of the relevant accounts receivable. The Group divides the risk characteristics according to the region and object of its business, and divides the relevant accounts receivable into different portfolios. Based on the historical loss rate and consider reasonable and well-founded forward- looking information in the industry, the Group determines the proportion of corresponding loss reserves for different portfolios of various types of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2022, based on the historically loss rate and consider reasonable and well-founded forward-looking information in the industry, the Group determines the corresponding proportion of loss provision for accounts receivable. The amount of the provision for expected credit losses will change as the estimation of the Group. The details on the provision for expected credit losses of the accounts receivable of the Group are given in Note (V) 4. Useful life and predicted net residual value of fixed asset The Group's estimation of fixed assets useful life is based on the historical experience of actual usable term of fixed assets with similar properties and functions, the estimation of predicted net residual value is the amount obtained currently by the Group from the assets after deducting the anticipated disposal expense based on the anticipated status assuming the conditions that fixed assets' predicted useful life expires and fixed assets are at the end of useful life. The Group shall conduct the review on the predicted service life and predicted net residual value of fixed assets at least annually. For the current reporting period, the Group's management did not see signs either indicating a shortened or extended useful life of the Group's fixed asset or indicating a change in predicted net residual value. Accrued liabilities of product quality warranty Accrued liabilities of product quality assurance are costs and expenses incurred to meet the established standards of product quality assurance obligations to customers in accordance with the product contract; the Group made such an estimation according to the predicted repair and replacement cost of relevant products. The estimation considers the product claim rate trend, historic defect rate, industry practice and other major estimations. The management deems that the current estimation on accrued liabilities of product quality warranty is reasonable, however, the Group will continue to review the conditions of product repairs, and will conduct adjustment if any sign indicating the need to make adjustments on accounting estimates. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities 118 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the applicable income tax rate during the period when the relevant asset is expected to be recovered or the relevant debt is expected to be paid off. The expected applicable income tax rate is determined according to the relevant current tax regulations and the actual situation of the Group. If the estimated income tax rate is different from the original estimate, the management of the Group will adjust it. The realization of deferred income tax assets mainly depends on the actual future taxable income, taxable temporary differences, and the effective tax rate of temporary difference in the future applicable years. If the actual taxable income and taxable temporary differences in the future is less than the estimation, or actual tax rate is lower than the estimation, then the confirmed deferred income tax assets will be reversed and confirmed in the income statement during the corresponding period. If the actual taxable income and taxable temporary differences in the future is more than the estimation, or actual tax rate is higher than the estimation, then the deferred tax assets that are partially unrecognized deductible losses and deductible temporary differences will be recognized and confirmed in the income statement during the corresponding period.

Product sales revenue of the Group is recognized when the control of such product is transferred to the customers. During the transaction, prepayments for goods by customers are recognized as a contract liability till the goods are shipped or delivered to the customers. Sales rebates to distributors of the Group may be accumulated when they purchase products from the Group, and are deductible for payments for goods to be purchased in the future. Such sales rebates enable distributors to enjoy discounts in their future purchase of goods, which are not available to the same type of customers. Therefore, the commitment to offer such discounts to distributors on their future purchase prices is a separate performance obligation. Such commitment is recognized as a contract liability based on the transaction price allocated on the basis of the fair value of rebates when the sales transaction takes place, and is recognized as revenue when distributors use the sales rebates for deduction of purchase prices. The Group provides construction works and maintenance services based on the construction works and maintenance service contracts with customers, and recognizes revenue based on the performance progress during the term of the contracts. The Group's customers make milestone payments for the construction works and maintenance services of the Group as provided in the contracts. For the portion where the Group has obtained an unconditional right to the payment, it will be recognized as accounts receivable, while the remaining portion will be recognized as contract assets; where the contract price received or receivable by the Group exceeds the performance obligation completed to date, the excess portion will be recognized as contract liabilities. The Group presents contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract on a net basis. The Group provides cloud services including storage service, video service, and telephone service to its customers. Such services are performance obligations to be satisfied during a period of time, and revenue is recognized based on the performance progress over the period in which such services are rendered.

For sales of goods to customers, the Group recognizes revenue when the control of the goods is transferred, i.e. when the goods are delivered to the location designated by other party, or delivered to the carrier designated by other party, or delivered to the other party for acceptance. Since the delivery of the goods to the customer represents the right to unconditionally receive the contract consideration, and the maturity of the payment only depends on the passage of time, the Group recognizes a receivable when the goods are delivered to the customer. When the customer prepays for the goods, the Group recognizes the transaction amount received as a contract liability, and recognizes revenue until the goods are delivered to the customer. For projects constructed for customers, since the customers could control the assets under construction during the performance of the Group, the Group recognizes revenue according to the performance progress by treating them as the obligations within certain period, except that the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined. The Group applies the output method to determine the performance progress, which is based on the value to the customers of the goods or services that have been transferred to them. Where the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined, and the costs incurred by the Group are expected to be compensated, the revenue shall be recognized according to the amount of the costs already incurred until the performance progress can be reasonably determined. The customers of the Group pay the Group for the construction works by milestone payments in accordance with the contract. For the portion where the Group has obtained an unconditional right to the payment, it will be recognized as accounts receivable, while the remaining portion will be recognized as contract assets; where the contract price received or receivable by the Group exceeds the performance obligation completed to date, the excess portion will be recognized as contract liabilities. The Group presents contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract on a net basis. The Group provides customers with operation and maintenance services. Since customers obtain and consume the economic benefits generated by the performance of the Group at the same time when the Group performs its obligations, the Group recognizes revenue according to the performance progress by treating them as the obligations within certain period. The customers of the Group pay the Group for the maintenance services by milestone payments in accordance with the contract. For the portion where the Group has obtained an unconditional right to the payment, it will be recognized as accounts receivable, while the remaining portion will be recognized as contract assets; where the contract price received or receivable by the Group exceeds the performance obligation completed to date, the excess portion will be recognized as contract liabilities. The Group presents contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract on a net basis. 162 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 According to the project contract, the Group provides both project asset construction services and post-construction operation services and maintenance services. The Group identifies construction services, operation services and maintenance services as individual performance obligations, and allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative proportion of the stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation. The Group provides cloud services including storage service, video service, and telephone service to its customers. Such services are performance obligations to be satisfied during a period of time, and revenue is recognized based on the performance progress over the period in which such services are rendered. As customers have prepaid for cloud services at the time of purchase, the Group recognizes the payments for cloud services received at the time of transaction as a contract liability, and recognizes revenue based on the performance progress over the period in which such services are rendered. Sales rebates to distributors of the Group may be accumulated when they purchase products from the Group, and are deductible for payments for goods to be purchased in the future. Such sales rebates enable distributors to enjoy discounts in their future purchase of goods, which are not available to the same type of customers. Therefore, the commitment to offer such discounts to distributors on their future purchase prices is a separate performance obligation. Such commitment is recognized as a contract liability based on the transaction price allocated on the basis of the fair value of rebates when the sales transaction takes place, and is recognized as revenue when distributors use the sales rebates for deduction of purchase prices. The Group provides quality assurance for the sold video surveillance products, smart home products, robotic products and other products and related accessories, as well as the assets constructed. The quality assurance related to the products sold by the Group cannot be purchased separately, and is a guarantee to customers that the products sold meet the established standards, therefore, the Group conducts accounting treatment in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 13 - Contingencies, please refer to Note (III), 24 and Note (V), 36 for details. 46.

Since risk variables seldom change on a stand- alone basis, while the correlation between variables may have significant influence to the ultimate amount of change effected by the change in a single risk variable, the analysis below is based on the assumption that the changes in each variable occurred separately. 2. Objectives and policies of risk management The Group engages in risk management with the aim of achieving an appropriate balance between risk and return, where the negative effects of risks against the Group's operating results are minimized, in order to maximize the benefits of shareholders and other stakeholders. Based on such objective in risk management, the underlying strategy of the Group's risk management is to ascertain and analyze all types of risks exposures of the Group, establish appropriate risk tolerance thresholds, carry out risk management procedures and perform risk monitoring on all kinds of risks in a timely and reliable manner, thus containing risk exposures within a prescribed scope. 2.1 Market risks 2.1.1 Foreign exchange risks Foreign exchange risks refer to the risk that losses will occur because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is primarily exposed to risks relating to the currencies such as USD, EUR and etc. The Group's subsidiaries in the mainland of China whose procurement, sales and financing are denominated in RMB, USD and EUR, other principal activities are settled in RMB. The Group's subsidiaries in China Hong Kong and outside China are principally engaged in procurement, sales, financing and other major business activities in local currencies such as USD, EUR and etc. As of June 30th 2023, except for monetary items of foreign currencies set out in Note (V) 59, the Group mainly adopted the functional currency of each of its subsidiary to present the balance of its assets and liabilities. The foreign exchange risks arising from assets and liabilities denominated in EUR and USD (which has been converted into RMB) as follows may generate significant impact on the operating results of the Group. Unit: RMB Assets Liabilities Currencies Closing balance Opening balance Closing balance Opening balance EUR 2,982,617,046.65 2,951,284,991.71 2,319,106,093.53 2,200,890,176.03 USD 2,875,804,267.20 3,241,969,531.76 449,086,308.36 655,023,052.11 The Group has been paying close attention to the effect of fluctuation in exchange rate on the foreign exchange risks of the Group, and has purchased various financial derivative instruments, such as forward foreign exchange contracts and etc., to mitigate the foreign exchange risk exposure. Sensitivity analysis on exchange rate risk The sensitivity analysis of the Group's foreign exchange risk includes only monetary items denominated in foreign currencies and does not consider the impact of the purchased derivative financial instruments. With other variables unchanged, the exchange rate might float within a reasonable range, and has the following before- tax effect on profit or loss and shareholders' equity for the current period: Unit: RMB First half year of 2023 First half year of 2022 Change in foreign exchange rates Effect on shareholders' Effect on shareholders' Effect on profit Effect on profit equity equity 5% appreciation of EUR against RMB 33,175,547.66 33,175,547.66 20,053,966.09 20,053,966.09 5% depreciation of EUR against RMB (33,175,547.66) (33,175,547.66) (20,053,966.09) (20,053,966.09) 5% appreciation of USD against RMB 121,335,897.94 121,335,897.94 48,151,444.79 48,151,444.79 5% depreciation of USD against RMB (121,335,897.94) (121,335,897.94) (48,151,444.79) (48,151,444.79) 175 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 2.1.2. Interest rate risk The risk of changes in cash flow of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates exposed to the Group are primarily related to bank borrowings bearing floating interest rate (please refer to Note (V) 33) and bank deposits bearing floating interest rate. The Group's risks of changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates are related to fixed-rate bank borrowings (please refer to Note (V) 23 and Note (V) 33) and fixed-rate bank deposits. The Group determines the relative proportion of fixed interest rate contracts and floating interest rate contracts based on the prevailing market environment. On June 30, 2023, the Group's total long-term and short-term interest-bearing debts bearing fixed interest rates amounted to RMB12,861,421,548.20 (December 31, 2022: RMB9,106,539,532.31) (Note (V) 23 and Note (V) 33). The total amount of long-term and short-term interest-bearing debts bearing floating interest rates is RMB1,850,988,342.30 (December 31, 2022: RMB2,262,287,174.62) (Note (V) 33). The Group expects that the exposure to cash flow risk arising from floating-rate bank deposits and the exposure to changes in fair value arising from fixed-rate bank deposits are not significant. 2.1.3. Other price risks The Group's price risk mainly arises from investments in held-for-trading equity instruments and derivative financial instruments. Held-for-trading equity instrument investments are all investments in unlisted held-for-trading equity instruments. The Group is exposed to price risk due to the holding of financial assets measured at fair value. The fair value of certain financial instruments is determined by the general pricing model based on discounted future cash flow method or other valuation techniques, while the valuation techniques are based on certain valuation assumptions. Therefore, the valuation results are highly sensitive to valuation assumptions. However, at the end of the current reporting period, the amount of investment in held-for-trading equity instruments and derivative financial instruments is not significant, and the risk exposure due to changes in price of financial instruments as a result of change in valuation assumptions is low, accordingly, no sensitivity analysis is conducted. 2.2 Credit Risk As of June 30, 2023, the largest credit risk exposure that may result in financial losses of the Group is mainly due to the loss of the Group's financial assets arising from the failure of the counterparty to perform its obligations, including: cash and bank balance (Note (V). 1), notes receivable (Note (V). 3), accounts receivable (Note (V). 4), receivables for financing (Note (V). 5), other receivables (Note (V). 7), contract assets (Note (V). 9), other non-current assets (Note (V). 22), non- current assets due within one year (Note (V). 10), long-term receivables (Note (V). 12), etc., and derivative financial assets that are not included in the scope of impairment assessment and are measured at fair value through current profit or loss (Note (V). 2). As of the balance sheet date, the book value of the Group's financial assets represents its maximum credit risk exposure. In order to reduce credit risk, the Group has formed a team to determine the credit limit, conduct credit approval, and implement other monitoring procedures to ensure that necessary measures are taken to recover over-due debt. In addition, the Group reviews the recovery of financial assets on each balance sheet date to ensure that sufficient credit loss provisions are made for relevant financial assets. Therefore, the management of the Group believes that the credit risk exposure of the Group has been reduced significantly. The credit risk on cash and bank balances of the Group is low as they are deposited with banks with high credit ratings. For notes receivable – commercial acceptance notes, accounts receivable, contract assets and long-term receivables, the Group has put in place relevant policies to control credit risk exposure. The Group assesses credit quality of customers and sets corresponding credit period based on the customer's financial status, the possibility of obtaining guarantees from third parties, credit history and other factors such as current market conditions. The Group will regularly monitor the credit history of its customers. For customers with poor credit history, the Group takes various measures, such as written payment reminders, shorten or cancel the credit period, to ensure that the overall credit risk of the Group is maintained in a controllable range. For notes receivable - commercial acceptance notes, accounts receivable and contract assets, the Group 176 Hikvision 2023 Half Year Report Notes to Financial Statements For the reporting period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 uses a simplified method, that is, to measure the loss provision based on the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss for the entire duration. For details of the relevant expected credit loss measurement, see (Note (V). 3, (Note (V). 4 & Note (V)-9. For long-term receivables, the Group calculates the expected credit losses based on the expected credit loss rate in the next 12 months or the entire duration based on the default risk exposure. For details of the related expected credit loss measurement, see Note (V). 12. The Group's notes receivable - bank acceptance notes and receivables for financing are mainly bank acceptance notes with high credit ratings of the counterparties, which the Group does not consider to be subject to significant credit risk and will not incur any material loss due to default by the counterparties. For other receivables, the Group regularly monitors the debtor's credit history. For debtors with poor credit history, the Group takes various measures such as written payment reminders to ensure that the Group's overall credit risk is maintained in a controllable range. For other receivables, the Group calculates the expected credit loss based on the expected credit loss ratio in the next 12 months or the entire duration based on the default risk exposure. For details of the relevant expected credit loss measurement, see Note (V). 7. The Group's risk exposure is distributed among multiple contractors and multiple customers, so the Group has no significant credit concentration risk. 2.3. Liquidity risk The Group maintains and monitors a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to meet the operation needs of the Group and to reduce the effect of cash flow movements when managing liquidity risk. The management of the Group monitors the usage of bank borrowings, and ensures compliance with borrowing agreements. According to the term to maturity of non-discounted and remaining contract obligations, the financial liabilities held by the Group are analyzed as below: Unit:RMB June 30, 2023 Within one year 1-5 years More than five years Total Non-derivative financial liabilities Short-term borrowings 3,191,804,403.01 - - 3,191,804,403.01 Notes payable 905,757,774.63 - - 905,757,774.63 Accounts payable 13,969,435,831.18 - - 13,969,435,831.18 Other payables 3,148,507,577.98 - - 3,148,507,577.98 Other current liabilities 1,537,841,964.86 - - 1,537,841,964.86 Other non-current liabilities - 1,642,792,335.93 1,642,792,335.93 Long-term borrowings (including those due 2,169,190,668.43 9,247,241,382.74 842,000,134.23 12,258,432,185.40 within one year) Long-term payables (including those due 2,415,726.42 6,200,000.00 - 8,615,726.42 within one year) Derivative financial instruments Forward foreign exchange contracts - settled in the gross amount - Cash inflow 2,162,257,215.54 - - 2,162,257,215.54 - Cash outflow 2,201,257,467.49 - - 2,201,257,467.49 - Net cash outflow 39,000,251.96 - - 39,000,251.96 IX.
