Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report Hangzhou GreatStar Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report 2024-008 [April 2024] Introduction In 2023, GreatStar delivered record-setting results by adhering to the development philosophy of "remaining devoted to perfection while keeping the grand vision in mind" in the face of the most severe challenges in 30 years due to the active destocking and declining demand in the European and American markets that began in H2 2022. In 2023, GreatStar achieved a total operating revenue of RMB 10.929 billion, a net profit attributable to the parent Company of RMB 1.691 billion, and a net cash flow from operating activities exceeding RMB 2.1 billion. Thanks to all GreatStar employees for their hard work that has allowed GreatStar to keep pushing forward. Despite the vicissitudes, GreatStar persisted in enhancing its comprehensive strengths and providing long-term returns to shareholders. Our journey will be as vast and enduring as the starry sky and the boundless sea. Thanks to the shareholders for their Company and perseverance. About 30 years ago, GreatStar started in an office building in downtown Hangzhou with a 20-square-meter office, a desk, and an employee. After over a decade of effort, in 2010, GreatStar successfully went public. In the subsequent decade or so, GreatStar has steadily grown and rewarded shareholders, achieving compound annual growth rates (CAGR) of 14.49%, 15.23% and 14.32% in the operating revenues, net profit attributable to the parent Company, and net assets, respectively. GreatStar has continuously rewarded investors through dividends, share buybacks, and other means. We will persistently adhere to the principle that the cash generated from GreatStar's operating activities will either be used for acquiring renowned international brands to develop our main business segments or for distributing dividends and share buybacks to reward shareholders. GreatStar has achieved a number of notable achievements and milestones in its journey. By reflecting on this journey, it is a valuable exercise to re-examine the ever-changing global industrial landscape. As Wang Yangming said, "Life is like a spiritual practice, just like the lotus that can grow in the mud. All the difficulties and tribulations in the world are opportunities to hone and improve myself." Whatever does not defeat us will ultimately make us stronger. From 2010 to 2016, although China's annual GDP growth rate declined from 10% to 7%, it was still far higher than the average GDP growth rate of 2% in GreatStar's main market, the United States. The substantial cash reserves and excellent business model that GreatStar possessed during this period paradoxically presented a "resource curse," as the Chinese market seemed replete with investment opportunities that promised growth far exceeding the original 10%. GreatStar made numerous equity investments in non-core business segments. However, GreatStar's compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during those six years turned out to be only slightly above 11%. At the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017, under the leadership of the chairman, GreatStar's Board of Directors and Management team profoundly reflected on and summarized the past course of diversification. They ultimately determined to focus on consumer goods in Europe and the United States as the core business for future development and have consistently implemented this strategy. However, the Company and the industry were set to be buffeted by dramatic challenges in 2017. Coinciding with GreatStar's refocusing on its core business in 2017, with a strong emphasis on developing its original brands (OBM business) and acquiring overseas brands for expansion, China introduced a series of important new policies and measures for environmental protection aimed at strengthening environmental protection and ecological civilization development. These policies have objectively led to the elimination of outdated production capacity in the tooling industry, causing a short-term supply-demand imbalance. In 2018, the United States government released a list of goods subject to increased tariffs, imposing an additional 10% to 25% tariff on certain Chinese exports to the United States. This marked the beginning of the ongoing US-China trade dispute that has persisted until today, drastically increasing GreatStar's operating costs. GreatStar was compelled to commence the global expansion and integration of its industrial and supply chains. In May 2019, the United States government raised the tariff rate from 10% to 25% on USD 200 billion worth of Chinese goods exported to the United States, affecting most of GreatStar products exported to the United States. To address this adverse situation, GreatStar accelerated the construction of three major manufacturing bases in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand to mitigate operational risks to the greatest extent possible. In 2020, the sudden global black swan events first led to a sharp 1 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report decrease in orders, necessitating a pivot to the production and sale of personal protective equipment. Later, an abrupt surge in global orders resulted in insufficient production capacity, requiring all employees to work overtime. In 2021, although end-market demand was robust, the simultaneous substantial increases in the RMB exchange rate, China-US shipping costs, and raw material prices resonated together, exceeding the Company's short-term adjustment threshold and causing a significant decline in the overall gross profit margin. In 2022, just as the cost impact had been alleviated, demand in Europe and America declined in the second half of the year due to interest rate hikes by the United States Federal Reserve. Clients with overstocked inventories initiated a wave of destocking, with orders rapidly plummeting to a freezing point. All these events posed tremendous challenges for GreatStar, representing profound changes that disrupted the existing industry landscape. We are like a ship navigating the vast ocean. Every wave could potentially capsize the vessel or provide the impetus for acceleration. These external changes demanded that GreatStar actively optimize its business model, adjust its governance system, and rapidly and appropriately respond to the ever-changing global rules. Over the past 6 years, GreatStar has achieved a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17% in operating revenues and 20% in net profits attributable to the parent Company, marking a notable improvement compared to previous periods. We have also made substantial progress in the product portfolio, original brands, business models, and industrial upgrades. Product profile: At the time of its initial public offering, GreatStar only offered four major categories of hand tools, namely rotary, cutting, measuring, and lighting tools, along with a limited number of handheld power tools in just a few thousand SKUs. As HuaDa KeJie, LISTA Geelong and SHOPVAC joined GreatStar, accompanied by investments in market and R&D resources, GreatStar's non-hand tool categories accounted for nearly 40% of its offerings in 2023. Moreover, GreatStar has become the world's second-largest manufacturer of laser measurement instruments and tool storage cabinets, with over 30,000 SKUs. By steadily expanding its product range and adding new categories, GreatStar has shown a strong ability to consistently grow in the European and American consumer goods tool markets. This is like a long, gradual climb that has laid a solid foundation for GreatStar to keep accelerating its growth in the coming decade. Original brands: GreatStar has successively acquired ARROW, LISTA, BEA and some other leading brands in European niche markets and emerging brands such as WORKPRO, DURATECH and SHEFFIELD. The revenues contributed by original brands have risen from less than 10% in 2016 to nearly 50% in 2023. This transformation has not only further broken GreatStar's gross profit margin ceiling but will also play a role in stabilizing performance during industry fluctuations as severe as those experienced in 2023. Business models: Through three parallel measures – direct cross-border e-commerce operations, acquisition of European and American distribution channels, and establishment of Asia-Pacific distribution channels, GreatStar has effectively increased the proportion of direct-to-customer (DTC) business, prioritizing retail customer needs and directly reaching end retail customers. This has not only effectively enhanced the value proposition of individual products but has also provided firsthand client feedback to feed directly into R&D. Industrial upgrade: As a Company that originated from foreign trade, GreatStar has consistently derived over 90% of its revenues from regions outside of China. Prior to 2017, GreatStar had no overseas manufacturing or large-scale warehousing and logistics bases. Over the past 6 years, GreatStar has acquired or built 10 production bases in China, 3 production bases in Southeast Asia, 5 production bases in Europe, and 3 production bases in the United States through acquisitions of European and American factories as well as establishment of its own manufacturing bases in Southeast Asia. Currently, GreatStar has established multiple large logistics distribution centers and sales and after-sales teams in Europe and the United States, achieving truly localized service in these markets. GreatStar has actively introduced μ-class high-precision measurement instrument and equipment production capacity from the TESA brand to optimize the product range manufactured in China. The future can't be predicted with certainty, but it fills us with both awe and hope. No one can predict GreatStar's future, just as it was impossible to foresee in 2017 that GreatStar would be as it is in 2023. We follow "The Grand Way" or the great trends of the times with patriotic sentiments. We remain devoted to perfection to being meticulously focused and specialized. In 2024, GreatStar will continue to adhere to the development philosophy of "remaining devoted to perfection while keeping the grand vision in mind," striving towards the goal of becoming the world's largest tool Company.

Industry Overview during the Reporting Period The Company has been engaged in the TOOLS & storage industry. Its products mainly include hand tools & storage as well as power tools & laser measurement, which are mainly used in the fields of home maintenance, construction engineering, vehicle maintenance, surveying and mapping, etc. The home building, repair, and maintenance industry is the most important application channel with the highest proportion. By the group of clients, the industry may be divided into consumer tools & storage and industrial tools & equipment. In North America and much of the Europe, due to the extensive use of detached houses and the large square footage per inhabitant, the repairing and maintenance cost of residential houses is high. Given the high cost of labor, residents in the Europe and North America prefer to repair and maintain houses and outbuildings on their own, giving rising to the popular DIY style in western culture. Considering the large number of cars held by European and American families, the routine repair and maintenance tasks, including parts inspection and replacement, also play an important role in the DIY of the families. Various tools, as repair and maintenance necessities, are highly needed by families in North America and Europe for professional and DIY purposes, which makes the Europe and North America the most important market with the highest share of tools in the globe. Tool industry, the oldest industry, has been growing with the human society. For the past century, with the increasing industrialization, tools have been improved and refined steadily as a requisite support to manufacture supplies and commodities. Thanks to the rigid demand and stable replacement cycle, the sector of industrial tools has been growing steadily. Regardless of the financial crisis in 2008, the industry maintained stable upward momentum aligned with GDP growth after short-term fluctuations. In 2023, the high interest rate in Europe and the United States suppressed real estate trading and industrial development, which forced the end consumption of the tool industry to continue the downward trend in the second half of 2022. More fatally, as the global shipping system went normal in 2022, massive commodities stuck on the road finally arrive at the channel retailers, including large superstores, which lifted the inventory-to-sales ratio, hence the commencement of extensive destocking in 2023. The overreaction in consequence resulted in a sharp drop of orders, and thus to the Company suffered from the least year-on-year growth for 18 months, the worst record for the past 30 years. In 2024, considering the uncertainty about the Fed's cutting interest rate, the terminal demand of the industry will continue to fluctuate at a low level. However, as the inventories of channel retailers fall to a historical low, it is expected to see demand recovery and restocking in the second half of 2024 or in early 2025. II. Principal Business of the Company during the Reporting Period During the reporting period, the Company continued the development of its main business in consumer tools & storage in Europe and the United States and also industrial tools & equipment, and vigorously promoted the improvement of product structure and business models. In the face of the sharp decline of ODM business, the Company made every effort to develop its OBM business where we logged an increase in market share against the downward trend (except the storage) and maintained the growth of hand tools and power tools. During the reporting period, the Company registered an operating revenue of RMB10,929,992,802, a year-on-year decrease of 13.32%. In 2023, the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed Company amounted to RMB 1,691,612,756, with a year-on-year increase of 19.14%, and the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed Company after deducing non-recurring gains and losses amounted to RMB 1,697,490,987, with a year-on-year increase of 16.67%. III. Core Competencies 1. Innovation advantage Innovation has always been the core of the Company, while variety enrichment been the key driver for the growth. The Company has an experienced R&D team for professional tools and non-tool consumer goods, which has been committed to developing and innovating new products, upholding the concept that it's the details that make the difference in refining products in terms of functionality and added value, and working to ensure the long-term core competitiveness of the Company. During the reporting period, with an investment of RMB 323 million in R&D, the Company designed 1,828 new products, applied for more than 200 new patents and granted more than 200 new 13 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report patents; its subsidiary, HDKJ, was rated as a "Small Giant" by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China. The Company developed a variety of new products including knives and pliers, cordless lithium battery power tools and related spare parts, laser level rulers, and folding knives, all of which are highly recognized in the market. During the reporting period, the Company continued extensive innovation in power tools, especially lithium battery power tools. Based on scores of cost-effective and innovative products, the Company obtained orders for cordless lithium battery power tools and related spare parts from large retailers in the United States. Thanks to its innovation advantage, the Company has responded to and seized market opportunities in a timely manner, continued to gain market share and maintained long-term and stable development in the changeable global tool industry. 2. Brand advantages The Company specializes in residential durable consumer goods for households and industrial products for professionals. Brand is the most compelling guarantee for the Company to provide consumers with products and services over the long term, so the Company has been committed to acquiring global leading brands and building and developing its original brands. During the reporting period, the Company acquired TESA (Swiss) and SCRUFFS (UK) for the purpose of developing high-precision measuring instruments and personal tooling products. Meanwhile, the Company spared no effort in developing its original brands and enhancing their brand influence and brand advantage. Its original brands have achieved stable growth. The sales revenues of brands such as WORKPRO, DuraTech, Everbrite, and Prexiso have achieved significant YoY growth. In addition, the sales revenue of the Company's original brands accounted for approximately 50% in general. The brand advantage not only further enhances the international competitiveness of the Company's products, but also effectively improves the Company's gross profit margin and business stability, thus ensuring the long-term healthy development of the Company. 3. Channel advantages The sales channels and the trust of clients are the basis for the continuous development of the Company. The Company's diversified product mix and sustained innovation capability can not only satisfy the one-stop shopping demand of channel clients to the greatest extent possible, but also constantly reduce its procurement and Management costs and improve the loyalty of its channel clients. The Company has been one of the largest suppliers of tools and storage to many large supermarket chains such as The Home Depot, Walmart and Lowe's in the United States, Kingfisher in Europe and CTC in Canada. It has also expanded its product categories based on these clients. There are now more than 20,000 large supermarket chains worldwide that sell a wide range of the Company's products, including those for hardware, building materials and automotive parts. These channels effectively contribute to the rapid development of various innovative products of the Company.

Analysis of Principal Business 1. Overview During the reporting period, the high interest rate in Europe and the United States suppressed real estate trading and industrial development, which forced the end consumption of the tool industry to continue the downward trend in the second half of 2022. More fatally, as the global shipping system went normal in 2022, massive commodities stuck on the road finally arrive at the channel retailers, including large superstores, which lifted the inventory-to- sales ratio, hence the commencement of extensive destocking in 2023. The overreaction in consequence resulted in a sharp drop of orders. In active response to such adverse situation, the Company took direct and effective marketing strategies using its original brands, racking up certain results in expanding distribution channels offline and online and attaining increase in sales of original brands. Additionally, the Company clocked up new breakthroughs in some businesses pertinent to cost-effective products. With the RMB exchange rate and costs are getting favorable, the Company's profitability is becoming reasonable. During the reporting period, the Company registered an operating revenue of RMB10,929,992,802, a year-on-year decrease of 13.32%. In 2023, the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed Company amounted to RMB 1,691,612,756, with a year-on-year increase of 19.14%, and the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed Company after deducing non-recurring gains and losses amounted to RMB 1,697,490,987, with a year-on-year increase of 16.67%. The performance of each business segment is as follows: 1. Hand Tools & Storage During the reporting period, the Company extended the coverage of its offline distributors, especially in the countries and regions under the Belt and Road Initiative, constantly perfected its online channels on the globe, which further enhanced the influence of the Company's own brands and greatly rose the market share; optimized innovative R&D strategies and leveraged new varieties and products to provide clients with more competitive products, which further increased its market share; actively applied Artificial Intelligence Generated Content tools for content creation and brand promotion to enhance the image of its original brands. Since clients are actively reducing inventories, ODM sales volume of storage declined sharply year-on-year. Lista continued to stabilize by leveraging its brand premium and actively developing new products and markets. 2. Power Tools & Laser Measurement During the reporting period, the Company acquired again the confirmation of a large retailer to purchase power tools. Thanks to the new cost-effective products and innovation from various aspects, the Company attained great sales of some power tools, with significant increase of overall market share. The Company's original brand of power tools, with substantial year-on-year increase, is becoming one of the brands highly recognized by consumers in Europe and the United States. Despite the annual sales decline due to clients' destocking, the Laser Department strove for new customers and new orders for the sake of market share upon industry recovery by the following means: Improving distribution channels and enhancing brand recognition and influence with the help of online channels and new media; integrating R&D system and adjusting product advantages as needed by the market to enhance product attractiveness; expanding application scenarios of products to seek diversified orders from the market. 2.

In achieve the process of project implementation, the Company was constrained by the insufficient global the shipping capacity in 2021 and H1 2022, so some raw materials and equipment could not be delivered expecte to the project sites in time, thereby affecting the project's progress to a certain extent and delaying the d completion timeline. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the project and the maximum income benefit of the project, the 29th Meeting of the 5th Board of Directors and the 1st Extraordinary General and Meeting of Shareholders in 2023 approved the extension of the project implementation period to 45 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report their December 31, 2023. respecti 2. The implementation subject of the Intelligent Warehousing and Logistics Base Construction Project ve is Haining GreatStar Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., the wholly owned sub-subsidiary of the reasons Company. The implementation location of the project is Lianhang Economic and Technological (includi Development Zone, Haining City, Zhejiang Province. The project is expected to be completed by ng December 31, 2022.

Upon approval by the 4th Meeting of the 6th Board of benefit Directors, due to objective reasons, the Smart Warehousing and Logistics Base Construction Project s have failed to acquire the factory land in Nam Cau Kien industrial park, Thuy Nguyen, Haiphong, Vietnam, been as planned by December 31, 2023, resulting in the inability to complete the payment for the achieve aforementioned land as scheduled. To better facilitate the project implementation and ensure maximum d") project benefits, the Company decided to extend the project implementation period until December 31, 2024. 3. The implementation subject of the R&D Center Construction Project is the Company. The implementation location of the project is the northwest corner of the intersection of Hongpu Road and Jiuheng Road, Jiubao Street, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City. The project is expected to be completed by December 31, 2022. In the process of project implementation, new products were continuously launched, so it was necessary to adjust the R&D focus to products that are more in line with the long-term development strategies of the Company. Meanwhile, following the consolidation of the Company through the consolidation of its original wholly-owned subsidiary, Lista Holding AG, the planned investments in equipment and software had to be re-evaluated, resulting in the failure to complete the relevant work as planned. In order to make efficient use of the Company's R&D capability and ensure the maximum benefit of the project, the 29th Meeting of the 5th Board of Directors and the 1st Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders in 2023 approved the extension of the project implementation period to December 31, 2023.

Structural Subjects under Control of the Company □ Applicable √ Not Applicable XI. Prospects for the Company's Future Development (I) Development Strategy of the Company Overall development strategy: Main business priority, product innovation, brand operation, and global service. Main business priority: The Company continues to leverage the existing large supermarkets in Europe and the United States and self-operated channels to develop the main business of tools and to dispose of non-core businesses for asset recovery and investment in the main business. The Company will also continue M&A to seek further development of non-hand tools including power tools and outdoor supplies. Production innovation: While developing and upgrading existing products to improve convenience for users, the Company will continue to develop new products that are suitable for its own supply chain and distributors. Under the support of supply chain network and Chinese engineers, the Company will dominate the current global division of tools industry, enhance its leading position of the industry for further development, and take over the tasks of industrial transfer centering on client demand creation from the Europe and the United States in the era of innovative economy. Brand operation: The Company will carry on and develop the existing world-renowned tool brands and e-commerce tool brands for the new era, continue to improve the service system for the original brands of the Europe and the United States, and make a long-term plan for the original brands and development path hinged on the stable cash flow of durable consumer goods to improve brand value. Global service: Against the reverse globalization, the Company continues to actively increase the investment in the market of Europe, the United States, and the Southeast Asia, select outstanding foreign companies for M&A to have better access to international resources and markets in the pursuit of a globe-oriented Company. (II) Business Plan The Company proposes the goal of 100% cumulative growth in its main business for the next three years in early 2023. In spite of the first year-on-year decrease for a variety of reasons in 2023, the Company kept growth as 51 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report expected and will continue to uphold its long-term growth prospect and compounded annual growth rate the same as years before. (III) Possible Risks After a comprehensive analysis of the Company's external environment and actual situation, the main operating risks the Company faces include: 1. Exchange rate fluctuation risk At present, the Company's operating income basically comes from the overseas market. For example, the wide fluctuation of Chinese Yuan exchange rate will have a certain impact on the Company's operating income. Most of the Company's principal business orders are denominated in US Dollars, and the fluctuations of the exchange rate between Chinese Yuan and US Dollars directly affect the price competitiveness of products, thus affecting the Company's operating performance. In this regard, the Company will continue to strengthen its development in overseas market and foreign exchange settlement regulation, to hedge and reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the Company's performance. 2. Risk of rising raw material prices Recently, the Company's main raw material prices fluctuated greatly, causing the Company's production costs to fluctuate as well. Although the Company's production capacity is dominated by outsourced production and has a strong ability of bargaining with upstream outsourced manufacturers, the Company's profitability may still be affected to some extent if the price of raw materials continues to rise. In this regard, the Company will continue to strengthen procurement and cost control, establish strategic cooperative relations with suppliers and sign long-term agreements to absorb the risk of raw material price fluctuations. Meanwhile, the Company will continue to optimize the product mix, strengthen the R&D of new products, and rely on innovative products to set reasonable prices and maintain the product gross margin. 3. Risk of trade conflict Currently, the United States is the largest single market of the Company, and a vast majority of the Company's products exported to the United States are still subject to a 25% tariff, which has an adverse impact on the development of the Company. In this regard, the Company will pay close attention to the international situation, continue to implement the internationalization strategy, promote the construction of overseas manufacturing bases, cultivate overseas supply chains, and establish a global production capacity layout and supply chain system to ensure the stable development of the Company's business.

Therefore, we included revenue recognition as a critical audit matter. 2. Audit response In response to this critical audit matter, we performed the following major audit procedures: 122 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report (1) Obtained an understanding of the key internal controls related to revenue recognition, evaluated the design of these controls, identified whether they are implemented, and tested whether the relevant internal controls function effectively; (2) Assessed the sales contract, obtained an understanding of the main terms and conditions of contracts, and evaluated whether the revenue recognition method is appropriate; (3) Analyzed the operating revenues and gross profit margin on a monthly basis, by products and by clients, to identify whether there are major or abnormal fluctuations, and to identify the reasons for the fluctuations; (4) For the domestic sales revenue, assessed the supporting document of selected items, such as sales contracts, orders, sales invoices, stock-out document and clients' receipts; for the export revenue, collected electronic port data and compared it with accounts and assessed the supporting document of selected items, such as sales contracts, export declarations, bills of lading, clients' receipts and sales invoices; (5) Issued letters to solicit proof the sales revenues for selected items with the letter proving of accounts receivable from the major clients; (6) Performed a cut-off test on the operating revenues to check whether the operating revenues have been recognized within the appropriate period; and (7) Assessed whether the information related to the operating revenues has been appropriately presented in the Financial Statements. (II) Impairment of goodwill 1. Description Refer to Note III (XXI) and Note V (I)-19 to these Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2023, the original carrying value of goodwill of GreatStar was RMB 2,750,291,615.37, and the provision for impairment was RMB 150,679,689.23, resulting in a carrying value of RMB 2,599,611,926.14. When conducting the goodwill impairment test, the Management has combined goodwill with its related asset group or combination of asset groups, and the recoverable amount of the related asset group or combination of asset groups is confirmed based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Considering that the goodwill is of significant value and that the goodwill impairment test may impact critical Management judgment, we included impairment of goodwill as a critical audit matter. 2. Audit response In response to impairment of goodwill, we performed the following major audit procedures: (1) Obtained an understanding of the key internal controls related to impairment of goodwill, evaluated the design of these controls, identified whether they are implemented, and tested whether the relevant internal controls function effectively; (2) Reviewed the Management's estimation of the present value of future cash flows in previous years, or required the Management to make re-estimation; (3) Assessed the competence, professionalism and objectivity of external valuation experts engaged by the Management; (4) Evaluated the suitability and consistency of the methods used by the Management in the impairment test; (5) Evaluated the suitability of the key assumptions used by the Management in the impairment test, and reviewed whether the relevant assumptions are consistent with the business situation, historical experience and approved budgets; (6) Assessed the suitability, relevance and reliability of the data used by the Management in the impairment test, and reviewed the consistency of the relevant information in the impairment test; 123 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report (7) Tested whether the Management's calculation of the present value of estimated future cash flows is accurate; and (8) Assessed whether the information related to impairment of goodwill has been appropriately presented in the Financial Statements. IV. Other information The Management of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all the information included in the annual report other than the Financial Statements and our Audit Report thereon. Our audit opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of appraisal conclusion thereon. We are responsible for reading the other information based on our audit of the Financial Statements and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information based on the work we have performed, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. V. Responsibilities of the Management and those charged with governance for the Financial Statements The Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation of the Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and for the design, implementation and maintenance of such internal controls, so as to ensure that the Financial Statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Management is responsible for assessing GreatStar's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using assumption of ongoing concern in preparing the Financial Statements, unless the Management either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance at GreatStar (hereinafter referred to as "those charged with governance") are responsible for overseeing GreatStar's financial reporting process. VI. Responsibilities of the CPAs for the audit of the Financial Statements We aim to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report that includes our audit opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the CSA will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements. As part of an audit in accordance with the CSA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: (I) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit processes responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. As fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control, the risk of failing to detect a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the risk of failing to detect a material misstatement resulting from error. (II) Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design appropriate audit processes. (III) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used by the Management and the rationality of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management. 124 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report (IV) Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management's use of the assumption of ongoing concern, and on whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on GreatStar's ability to continue as a going concern based on the audit evidence obtained. In accordance with the CSA, we are required to draw attention in our audit report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements if we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, or to issue an audit report containing the modified opinion if such disclosures are inadequate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause GreatStar to cease to continue as a going concern. (V) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, and whether the Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the underlying transactions and events. (VI) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within GreatStar to issue an audit opinion on the Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit, and we remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding matters such as the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them on all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be considered to bear on our independence, and relevant preventive measures which are applicable. Based on the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine the matters that are of most significance in the audit of the Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the critical audit matters. We describe such matters in our audit report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure of the matters or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Accounting method for consolidation of enterprises under or not under the joint control 1. Accounting methods for consolidation of enterprises under the joint control Assets and liabilities acquired by the Company in a consolidation are measured at the book value of the party being consolidated in the consolidated financial statements of ultimate controlling party at the date of consolidation. The Company adjusts capital surplus by the difference between the share of the book value of the owners' equity of the party being consolidated in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party and the book value of the consideration paid for the consolidation or the total nominal value of the shares issued. If capital surplus is insufficient for write-down, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. 2. Accounting methods for consolidation of enterprises not under the joint control The Company recognizes the difference of the cost of consolidation minus the share of fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree acquired in the consolidation at the date of purchase as the goodwill. If the cost of consolidation is less than the share of fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree acquired in the consolidation, the Company firstly reviews the fair value of each of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired from the acquiree as well as the measurement of consolidation cost; and if the cost of consolidation remains less than the share of fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree acquired in the consolidation upon review, the difference is recognized in the current profits or losses. 7.

Translation of foreign-currency transactions and foreign-currency financial statements 1. Translation of foreign-currency transactions In the initial recognition of foreign currency transactions, amounts in foreign currency are translated into amounts in RMB at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. Foreign-currency monetary items at the balance sheet date are translated with the spot exchange rate on the same date, and the exchange differences arising from different exchange rates, except for the exchange differences on the principal of and interest on special foreign-currency borrowings relating to the acquisition and setup of assets eligible for capitalization, are recognized in current gains/losses; foreign currency non-monetary items measured with historical cost are still converted based on the spot exchange rate on the transaction date, without changing its RMB amount; and for the foreign currency non- monetary items measured with fair value, conversion is made as per the spot exchange rate on the date when the fair value is defined, with the different stated as the current profits or losses or other comprehensive income. 2. Translation of foreign-currency financial statements The asset items and liability items in the balance sheet adopt the exchange rate of the balance sheet date for translation; the owners' equity items adopt the exchange rate of date when the transactions occurred, except for the items of “undistributed profit”; and the revenues and expenses items in the income statements are translated by the rate similar to the spot rate on the date of transaction. Differences in translation of foreign-currency financial statements arising from the foregoing are stated as other comprehensive income. 11. Financial instruments 1. Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets are classified into the three categories at initial recognition: (1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost; (2) financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; and (3) financial assets measured at fair value through current gains/losses. Financial liabilities are classified into four categories at initial recognition: (1) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through current gains/losses; (2) financial liabilities resulting from unqualified transfer of financial assets on derecognition or from continued involvement in the transferred financial assets; (3) financial guarantee contracts that do not fall under (1) or (2) above and loan commitments that fall out of (1) above and that are loaned out at a lower-than-market interest rate; and (4) financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. 2. Basis of recognition, measurement method and derecognition conditions of financial assets and financial liabilities (1) Basis of recognition and initial measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities 159 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report The Company recognizes an item of financial asset or financial liability at the time when it becomes one party to a contract of the financial instruments. On initial recognition, a financial asset or financial liability is measured at fair value; for financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through current profits or losses, the related transaction costs are recognized directly in the current profits or losses; for other categories of financial assets or financial liabilities, relevant transaction costs are included in the amount of initial recognition. However, if the receivables initially recognized by the Company exclude significant financing components or if the Company does not consider any financing component in a contract of less than a year, the Company initially measures the receivables in accordance with the transaction price as defined in Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 -Revenue. (2) Subsequent measurement of financial assets 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost Such financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortized cost by the actual interest rate method. Profits or losses arising from financial assets measured at amortized cost that are not part of any hedging relationship are recognized in the current profits or losses when they are derecognized, reclassified, amortized by the effective interest rate method or recognized as impairment. 2) Investment in debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income Such financial asset is measured subsequently at fair value. Interest, impairment losses or gains and exchange gains/losses calculated using the method of effective interest rate are recognized in the current profits or losses for the period. Upon derecognition, the cumulative profits or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred out and recognized in current gains/losses. 3) Investment in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income Such financial asset is measured subsequently at fair value. Dividends received (except for those attributable to the investment costs recovered) are recognized in current gains/losses, and other profits or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative profits or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred therefrom to retained earnings. 4) Financial assets measured at fair value through current gains/losses Profits or losses arising from subsequent measurement at fair value, including interest and dividend income, are stated as current gains/losses unless the financial assets are part of a hedging relationship. (3) Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities 1) Financial liabilities at fair value through current gains/losses Such financial liabilities comprise those held for trading (including derivatives that are financial liabilities) and those designated for measurement at fair value through current gains/losses. Such financial liabilities are measured subsequently at fair value. The amount of changes in the fair value of financial liabilities designated for measurement at fair value through current gains/losses arising from changes in the Company's credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income, unless such disposal would create or enlarge the accounting mismatch in gains/losses. Other profits or losses arising from such financial liabilities (including interest cost and changes in fair value other than those arising from changes in the Company's credit risk) are recognized in current gains/losses, unless the financial liabilities are part of a hedging relationship. Upon derecognition, the cumulative profits or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred therefrom to retained earnings. 2) Financial liabilities resulting from unqualified transfer of financial assets on derecognition or from continued involvement in the transferred financial assets Such financial liabilities are measured in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.23 - Transfer of Financial Assets. 3) Financial guarantee contracts that do not fall under (1) or (2) above and loan commitments that fall out of (1) above and that are loaned out at a lower-than-market interest rate Subsequent measurement after initial recognition is based on, whichever is higher: (i) The amount of the provision for losses determined in accordance with the regulations on impairment of financial instruments; or (ii) difference 160 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report between the amount initially recognized minus the amount of cumulative amortization defined in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue. 4) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost Such financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Profits or losses arising from financial liabilities measured at amortized cost and not part of any hedging relationship are recognized in the current gains/losses at the time of derecognition and amortized by effective interest method. (4) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities 1) Financial assets are derecognized if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) The contractual right to receive cash flows from financial assets is terminated; (ii) The financial asset is transferred, and such transfer satisfies the regulations on derecognition of financial assets under Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.23 - Transfer of Financial Assets. 2) Where a financial liability (or a portion thereof) is discharged from a present obligation, such financial liability (or such portion thereof) is derecognized accordingly. 3. Basis of recognition and measurement methods of financial assets If the Company transfers nearly all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset, such financial asset is derecognized, and the right and obligation arising from or retained in the transfer is recognized as an asset or a liability; if nearly all the risks and rewards on the ownership of a financial asset are retained, the transferred financial asset continues to be recognized. If the Company neither transfers nor retains nearly all risks and rewards on the ownership of a financial asset, the Company shall: (1) derecognize the financial asset and recognize the right and obligation arising from or retained in the transfer if it has no control over the asset; and (2) recognize the relevant financial asset and relevant financial liability by the extent of its continued involvement in the transferred financial asset if it has control over the said financial asset. If the overall transfer of a financial asset satisfies the conditions for derecognition, the difference between (1) the book value of the transferred financial asset on the date of derecognition; and (2) the sum of the consideration from the transfer of the financial asset and the amount of derecognized portion in the accumulated changes of fair value originally stated as other comprehensive income (the financial asset involved in transfer is an investment in a debt instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income) is recognized in current gains/losses. Should a portion of a financial asset be transferred and such transferred portion as a whole is qualified for derecognition, the book value of such financial asset as a whole before the transfer is apportioned between the derecognized portion and the portion for continued recognition based on their respective fair value on the date of transfer; and the difference between (1) the book value of the derecognized portion and (2) the sum of the consideration for the derecognized portion and the amount of derecognized portion in the accumulated changes of fair value originally stated as other comprehensive income (the financial asset involved in transfer is an investment in a debt instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income) is recognized in current gains/losses. 4. Methods for determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities The Company employs the appraisal technique that is applicable in current period and is supported by sufficient available data and other information to determine the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities. The Company categorizes the inputs used in the valuation technique in the following levels and applies such inputs in a certain order: (1) Level-1 inputs are unadjusted offers in any active market for identical assets or liabilities that are available on the measurement date; (2) Level-2 inputs are those other than the Level-1 inputs and observable for underlying assets or liabilities, directly or indirectly, including offers for similar assets or liabilities in any active market; offers for identical or similar assets or liabilities in any inactive market; observable inputs other than offers (e.g., interest rates and yield curves observable in normal intervals of offering; and market-validated inputs; 161 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report (3) Level-3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the underlying assets or liabilities, including interest rates that are not directly observable or cannot be verified with observable market data, stock volatility, future cash flows assuming retirement obligations in a business consolidation, and financial projections with self-owned data. 5. Impairment of financial instruments The Company impairs and recognizes provisions for loss based on expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets, receivables from leasing, loan commitments other than those classified as financial liabilities measured at fair value through current gains/losses, and financial guarantee contracts that are not classified as financial liabilities measured at fair value through current gains/losses or financial liabilities resulting from unqualified transfer of financial assets on derecognition or from continued involvement in the transferred financial assets. Expected credit loss refers to the weighted average of credit loss of financial instruments weighted by the risk of default. Credit loss represents the difference between all contractual cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate and receivable under the contract and all cash flows expected to be collected, i.e., the present value of the entire cash shortfall. In particular, for any financial asset purchased or originated by the Company with credit impaired, such asset is discounted at effective interest rate upon credit adjustment. For any financial asset purchased or originated by the Company with credit impaired, the Company recognizes only the cumulative changes in expected credit losses over the entire period of existence from initial recognition as the provision for losses on the balance sheet date. For the receivables and contract assets that result from transactions governed by Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 -Revenue and do not contain any significant financing component or for which the Company does not consider a financing component in any contract of no more than a year, the Company applies a simplified measurement method to measure the provision for losses at an amount equivalent to the expected credit losses over the entire period of existence. For any financial asset other than those measured by the above-mentioned methods, the Company evaluates on each balance sheet date whether the credit risk of such asset sees significant increase after initial recognition. If the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the provision for losses based on the amount of expected credit losses over the entire period of existence; if not, the Company measures the provision for losses based on the amount of expected credit losses of such financial instrument over the next 12 months. The Company uses reasonably available and supportable information, including forward-looking information, to determine whether the credit risk of a financial instrument sees significant increase after initial recognition by comparing the risk of default of the said financial instrument on the balance sheet date with the risk of default on the date of initial recognition. On the balance sheet date, if the Company believes that a financial instrument features a low credit risk, it shall be assumed that its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company evaluates expected credit risks and measures expected credit losses based on a single financial instrument or a portfolio of financial instruments. Where a portfolio of financial instruments is applied, the Company classifies financial instruments into portfolios based on common risk features. The Company remeasures expected credit losses on each balance sheet date, from which the amount increased or reversed from the provision for losses resulted is recognized as impairment profits or losses in current gains/losses. For any financial asset measured at amortized cost, the provision for losses is offset against the book value of such financial asset as stated in the balance sheet; for any debt investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Company recognizes its provision for losses in other comprehensive income, without offsetting the book value of the financial asset. 6. Offset between financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet and are not mutually offset. However, where both of the following conditions are met, the financial assets and financial liabilities will be presented in the balance sheet with the net amount after mutual offset: (1) The Company has the legal right to offset the recognized amount, which is executable for; and (2) the Company plans to make settlement in net amount, or realizes the financial assets and settles the financial liabilities simultaneously. 162 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report When a financial asset is transferred without satisfying the conditions for derecognition, the Company does offset such transferred financial asset and related liabilities. 12. Notes receivable The Company refers to the historical credit loss and combines the current situation and the projections of future economic situation, in a bid to calculate the expected credit loss based on the default risk exposure and the expected credit loss rate of the whole duration. 13.

Identification standards for accounts receivable and contract assets with expected credit losses measured on a single item basis For accounts receivable and contract assets whose credit risk is significantly different from the portfolio credit risk, the Company measures expected credit losses on a single item basis. 14. Contract assets The Company presents contract assets or contract liabilities in the balance sheet based on the relationship between the fulfillment of performance obligations and clients' payment. The contractual assets and liabilities under the same contract are shown on a net basis after mutual offset. The Company presents the right to receive consideration from a client that it owns unconditionally (i.e., depending only on the passage of time) as a receivable and the right to receive consideration for a commodity transferred to a client (depending on any factor other than the passage of time) as a contract asset. 15. Inventory 1. Category of inventories Inventories include finished products or commodities held for sale in daily operations, or work in progress, or materials and supplies to be consumed in production or provision of labor. 2. Method for appraising outgoing inventories The Company appraises outgoing inventories with weighted-average system at the end of the month. 3. Stocktaking system of inventories Stocktaking is based on perpetual inventory system. 4. Amortization of low-value consumables and packages (1) Low-value consumables Low-value consumables are amortized by lump sum. (2) Packages Low-value consumables are amortized by lump sum. 5. Provision for decline in value of inventories Recognition criteria and accrual method for provision for decline in value of inventories Inventories are valued at lower of cost and NRV (net realizable value) at the balance sheet date, and the provision for decline in value of inventories are made based on the difference between cost and NRV. The net realizable value of an inventory directly for sale is determined in the normal production and operation by its estimated selling price minus estimated selling expense(s) and related tax (es); and that of an inventory requiring processing is determined in normal production and operation by the estimated selling price of the finished product minus estimated cost(s) to incur by the time of completion, estimated selling expense (s) and related tax (es). In case the price of part of an inventory is specified in the contract but that of the other parts is not specified in the contract by the balance sheet date, their net realizable values are determined separately and compared with their corresponding costs in order to determine the amount for withdrawal or reversal of provision for inventory depreciation. 164 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report 16. Assets held for sale 1. Classification of non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale The Company classifies non-current assets or disposal groups as held for sale where both of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) The sale is imminent under current conditions based on the common practice of selling such assets or disposal groups in similar transactions; and (2) the sale is highly possible, i.e., the Company has resolved on a plan for the sale and obtained a firm commitment to purchase, and the sale is expected to be completed within one year. Non-current assets or disposal groups acquired by the Company for the sole purpose of resale are classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition if, on the date of acquisition, the condition that "the sale is expected to be completed within one year" is satisfied and other conditions for classification as held for sale are also likely to be satisfied within a short period of time (normally three months). If any transaction between or among unconnected parties fails to be completed within one year for any of the following reasons beyond the control of the Company, and the Company remains committed to selling the non- current assets or disposal groups, such assets or groups will continue to be classified as held for sale: (1) The buyer or any other party unexpectedly sets conditions that result in a delay in the sale, and the Company has acted on those conditions in a timely manner and expects to successfully resolve the delay within one year upon the setting; (2) any rare event occurs that causes the sale of the non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale not to be completed within one year, and the Company has addressed such event within the initial year, for which the conditions for classification of those held for sale have been satisfied. 2. Accounting method for non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale (1) Initial measurement and subsequent measurement At the initial measurement of and remeasurement on balance sheet date of non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale, if the book value is higher than the fair value less costs to sell, the book value is written down to a net amount of fair value less costs to sell, and the amount of write-down is stated as an impairment loss on the assets through current gains/losses and a provision for impairment of the assets held for sale is withdrawn. Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition measured at whichever is lower, amount of initial measurement that would have been determined assuming that they were not classified as held for sale or the net amount of fair value less costs to sell. Except for the non-current assets or disposal groups acquired in a business consolidation, the difference arising from the initial measurement of a non-current asset or disposal group at fair value less costs to sell is recognized in current gains/losses. The amount of asset impairment loss recognized for a disposal group held for sale is offset against the book value of goodwill in the disposal group and then against the book value of each non-current asset on a pro rata basis by its proportion in the disposal group. Non-current assets held for sale or in the disposal groups shall not be depreciated or amortized, and interest and other expenses of liabilities in the disposal groups held for sale shall be recognized. (2) Accounting method for reversal of assets impairment loss If the net amount of the fair value of non-current assets held for sale after subtracting the selling expense increases at subsequent balance sheet dates, the amount previously written down shall be restored. Moreover, the amount of assets impairment loss recognized after non-current assets are classified as held for sale shall be reversed and recorded in profit or loss for the current period. The assets impairment loss recognized before non-current assets are classified as held for sale shall not be reversed. If the net amount of the fair value of disposal groups held for sale after subtracting the selling expense increases at subsequent balance sheet dates, the amount previously written down shall be restored. Moreover, the amount of assets impairment loss recognized after non-current assets are classified as held for sale shall be reversed and recorded in profit or loss for the current period. The book value of goodwill that has been written off and the assets impairment loss recognized before non-current assets are classified as held for sale shall not be reversed. 165 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report For the subsequently reversed amount of the asset impairment loss recognized on disposal groups held for sale, the book value shall be increased based on the proportion of the book value of each non-current asset except goodwill in the disposal group. (3) Discontinued classification as held for sale and derecognition When non-current assets or disposal groups are no longer classified as held for sale because they do not meet the corresponding conditions or non-current assets are removed from disposal groups held for sale, they shall be measured at the lower of the following: 1) the book value before being classified as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation, amortization or impairment that would have been recognized had they not been classified as held for sale; 2) the recoverable amount. At the time of derecognition of non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale, the unrecognized profits or losses shall be recorded in profit or loss for the current period. 3. Recognition criteria for discontinued operations A separately distinguishable component that has been disposed of or is held for sale and meets one of the following conditions is recognized as a discontinued operation: (1) The component represents an independent main business or an independent main business area; (2) The component is part of a plan concerning the proposed disposal of an independent main business or an independent main business area; (3) This component is a subsidiary acquired exclusively for resale. 4. Presentation method for discontinued operations The Company presents the profit or loss from continuing operations and the profit or loss from discontinued operations separately in the income statement. Operating profit or loss and profit or loss from disposal such as the impairment loss and the reversed amount from discontinued operations are reported as profit or loss from discontinued operations. For the discontinued operations reported in the current period, the data originally presented as the profit or loss from continuing operations shall be re-presented as the profit or loss from discontinued operations for the comparable period in the current financial statements. If the discontinued operation no longer meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the data originally presented as the profit or loss from discontinued operations shall be re-presented as the profit or loss from continuing operations for the comparable period in the current financial statements. 17. Long-term equity investments 1. Recognition of joint control and significant influence Joint control refers to the shared control over an arrangement, regarding which activities can be decided on only with the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control, as agreed upon. Significant influence refers to the power to participate in decision-making on the financial and operating policies of the investee, but with no control or joint control over the formulation of these policies. 2. Determination of investment cost (1) For business combination under common control, where long-term equity investments are obtained by cash paid, non-Monetary funds paid, assumed liabilities or equity securities issued as consideration by the combining party, on the combination date, the initial investment cost shall be taken as the share of the owner's equity of the combined party at book value in the final control party's consolidated financial statements. According to the difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments and the book value of the consideration paid or the aggregate nominal value of shares issued, capital reserve shall be written down. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to be written down, then the retained earnings shall be written down. For long-term equity investments resulting from business combinations involving entities under common control, which are achieved step by step in multiple transactions, the Company will assess whether these transactions constitute a "package deal". Each of these transactions shall be accounted for as a transaction for acquisition of control if they constitute a "package deal". Otherwise, the initial investment cost shall be recognized on the combination date according to the share of the combined party's net assets to be acquired after combination at book 166 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report value in the final control party's consolidated financial statements. According to the difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments on the combination date and the sum of the book value of long- term equity investments before combination plus the book value of the consideration paid for further acquisition of shares on the combination date, capital reserve shall be written down. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to be written down, then the retained earnings shall be written down. (2) For business combination not under common control, on the combination date, the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments shall be taken as the fair value of the consideration paid. For long-term equity investments resulting from business combinations involving entities not under common control, which are achieved step by step in multiple transactions, different approaches in accounting method are adopted for individual financial statements and consolidated financial statements as follows: 1) For individual financial statements, the initial investment cost is calculated as the sum of the book value of investments in equity originally held plus the additional investment cost using the cost method. 2) For consolidated financial statements, whether these transactions constitute a "package deal" will be assessed. Each of these transactions shall be accounted for as a transaction for acquisition of control if they constitute a "package deal". For transactions do not constitute a "package deal", the target entity's equity held before the purchase date shall be remeasured at the fair value of the equity on the purchase date, and the difference between the fair value and book value of the equity shall be recorded in investment income for the current period; if the target entity's equity held before the purchase date involves other comprehensive income accounted with the equity method, other comprehensive income associated, except when arising from the changes due to remeasurement of net liabilities or net assets of defined benefit plan by the investor, shall be transferred to income for the current period on the purchase date. (3) Other long-term equity investments not resulting from business combination: For long-term equity investments obtained by cash paid, the initial investment cost shall be the amount actually paid. For those obtained by equity securities issued, the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of equity securities issued. For those obtained by debt restructuring, the initial investment cost shall be recognized according to Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 12 - Debt Restructuring. For those obtained by the exchange of non-Monetary funds, the initial investment cost shall be recognized according to Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 7 Exchange of Non-Monetary funds. 3. Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss Where the Company is able to exercise control over an investee, long-term equity investments are accounted for using the cost method. Long-term equity investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. 4. Accounting method for disposal of investments in subsidiaries step by step in multiple transactions and loss of control (1) Judgment principles of whether the transactions constitute a "package deal" Where the equity investment in a subsidiary is disposed of step by step through multiple transactions until it loses control, the Company shall judge whether the transactions constitute a "package deal" based on information including the terms of the transaction agreement, the consideration of disposal obtained, the object of the sale of the equity, the method of disposal, and the time of disposal for each step of the step-by-step transaction. The multiple transactions constitute a "package deal" when the terms, conditions and economic impacts of the multiple transactions meet the following one or more conditions: 1) These transactions are entered into at the same time or after considering their impacts on each other; 2) These transactions as a whole may reach a complete business result; 3) The occurrence of a transaction depends on at least the occurrence of another transaction; 4) An individual transaction is not deemed as economic, but is deemed as economic when considered with other transactions. (2) Accounting methods do not constitute a "package deal" 167 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report (1) Individual financial statements For the equity to be disposed of, the difference between its book value and the actual acquisition price shall be recorded in profit or loss for the current period. The residual equity which still has a significant influence on the investee or for which joint control is exercised over the investee shall be accounted for using the equity method. If no control or joint control is exercised over the investee or there is no significant influence on the investee, the accounting method shall be subject to Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. (2) Consolidated financial statements Prior to the loss of control, according to the difference between the disposal price and the share of long-term equity investments disposed of in the net assets of subsidiaries to be held and continuously calculated from the combination date, capital reserve (capital premium) shall be written down. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to be written down, then the retained earnings shall be written down. For the loss of control over former subsidiaries, the residual equity shall be remeasured at the fair value on the date of such loss. The difference between the sum of the consideration received from the disposal of the equity plus the fair value of the residual equity and the share of former subsidiaries' net assets to be held and continuously calculated from the combination date based on the shareholding ratio shall be recorded in investment income for the current period in which the loss of control occurs, and goodwill shall be written down. Other comprehensive income related to equity investments in former subsidiaries shall be transferred to investment income for the current period at the time of the loss of control. (3) Accounting methods constitute a "package deal" (1) Individual financial statements Each of these transactions shall be accounted for as a transaction relating to disposal of investments in subsidiaries and loss of control. However, the difference between the disposal price and the book value of the long-term equity investment corresponding to the disposal investment shall be recognized as other comprehensive income in individual financial statements prior to the loss of control and, at the time of the loss of control, transferred to profit or loss for the current period in which the loss of control occurs. (2) Consolidated financial statements Each of these transactions shall be accounted for as a transaction relating to disposal of investments in subsidiaries and loss of control. However, the difference between the disposal price and the share of investments disposed of in the net assets of subsidiaries to be held shall be recognized as other comprehensive income in consolidated financial statements prior to the loss of control and, at the time of the loss of control, transferred to profit or loss for the current period in which the loss of control occurs. 18. Investment properties Measurement model of investment properties Cost model Method of depreciation or amortization 1. Investment properties include land use rights leased out, land use rights held and to be transferred after appreciation and buildings leased out. 2.

The construction in progress shall be transferred to fixed assets at actual cost when it is ready for its intended use. It shall be transferred to fixed assets at estimated value when it is ready for its intended use but the final settlement of account has not been finished. The estimated value shall be adjusted according to the actual cost after the final settlement of account, while the accrued depreciation shall not be adjusted.

(2) If the acquisition, construction or production of assets that meet the conditions for capitalization is suspended abnormally, and the suspension lasts for more than 3 months, the capitalization of borrowing costs will be suspended. The borrowing costs incurred during the suspension period will be recognized as current expenses until the acquisition, construction or production of such assets is resumed. 169 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report (3) When the acquired, constructed or produced asset that meets the conditions for capitalization is ready for its intended use or sale, the capitalization of borrowing costs will be stopped. 3. Capitalization rate and capitalized amount of borrowing costs If a special loan is borrowed for the acquisition, construction or production of assets that meet the capitalization conditions, the amount of interest expenses (including amortization of discounts or premiums determined using the effective interest method) actually incurred in the current period of the special loan shall be recognized as the interest amount to be capitalized after deduction of the interest income obtained by depositing the unused loan funds in the bank or the income from temporary investment. If general borrowings are occupied for the purpose of acquisition, construction or production of assets that meet the capitalization conditions, the Company shall calculate and determine the amount of interest of general borrowings to be capitalized based on the weighted average value of asset expenditures over which the accumulated asset expenditure exceeds the special borrowings multiplied by the capitalization rate of the occupied general borrowings. 22. Intangible assets (1) Useful life and the basis for determination, estimates, amortization method or review process thereof 1. Intangible assets include land ownership, land use rights, patent rights, trademark rights, proprietary technologies, Management software and emission rights and are initially measured at cost. 2. Intangible assets with limited useful lives shall be systematically and reasonably amortized during their useful lives according to the expected realization mode of economic benefits relating to such assets, and where the expected realization mode cannot be reliably determined, the assets shall be amortized using the straight-line method. The details are listed below: Item Useful life and basis for determination Amortization method 50 or 30 years, referring to the years of land available for Land use rights Straight Line Method use 10 years, referring to the years that it can bring economic Patent rights Straight Line Method benefits to the Company 10 years, referring to the years that it can bring economic Trademark rights Straight Line Method benefits to the Company 5 years, referring to the years that it can bring economic Proprietary technologies Straight Line Method benefits to the Company 3-10 years, referring to the years that it can bring economic Management software Straight Line Method benefits to the Company 10 years, referring to the years that it can bring economic Emission rights Straight Line Method benefits to the Company The Company does not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, and the Company reviews the United States lives of these intangible assets in each accounting period.

Contractual liabilities The obligation to transfer goods to a client, for which consideration has been received or is receivable from the client, is shown as a contractual liability. 26. Employee benefits (1) Accounting method of short-term employee benefits In the accounting period in which employees have rendered services, the Company recognizes the short-term employee benefits actually incurred as a liability and charges to profit or loss for the current period or the cost of related assets. (2) Accounting method of post-employment benefits Post-employment benefits are divided into defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. (1) During the accounting period in which employees have rendered services, the Company recognizes the contributions to be paid according to the defined contribution plans as a liability and charges to profit or loss for the current period or the cost of related assets. (2) The accounting method of defined benefit plans generally covers the following steps: 1) It is necessary to use unbiased and mutually compatible actuarial assumptions based on the projected unit credit method to estimate related demographic variables and financial variables, measure the obligations under the defined benefit plans and determine the periods to which the obligations are attributable. Furthermore, the obligations under the defined benefit plans shall be discounted to determine the present value of the defined benefit plan obligations and the current service cost; 172 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report 2) When a defined benefit plan has assets, the deficit or surplus by deducting the present value of the defined benefit plan obligations from the fair value of the defined benefit plan assets shall be recognized as a net liability or net asset of the defined benefit plan. The net asset of the defined benefit plan shall be measured at the lower of the surplus in the defined benefit plan and the asset ceiling. 3) At the end of the period, the employee benefit costs arising from defined benefit plans shall be recognized as the cost of service, the net interest on net liabilities or assets of defined benefit plans and the changes resulting from the remeasurement of net liabilities or assets of defined benefit plans. The cost of service and the net interest on net liabilities or assets of defined benefit plans are recorded in profit or loss for the current period or the cost of related assets, while the changes resulting from the remeasurement of net liabilities or assets of defined benefit plans are included in other comprehensive income and shall not be transferred back to profit or loss in subsequent accounting periods.

(4) Accounting method of other long-term employee benefits Other long-term employee benefits provided to employees are accounted for in accordance with the requirements relating to defined contribution plans if the conditions for classifying as a defined contribution plan are met and otherwise are accounted for in accordance with the requirements relating to defined benefit plans. To simplify the relevant accounting method process, the employee benefit costs incurred are recognized as the cost of service, the net interest on net liabilities or assets of other long-term employee benefits and the changes resulting from the remeasurement of net liabilities or assets of other long-term employee benefits. The total net amount is included in profit or loss for the current period or the cost of related assets. 27. Estimated liabilities 1. The Company recognizes an obligation arising from the provision of external guarantees, litigation matters, product quality assurance, loss contract, and other contingencies as a present obligation of the Company when it is probable that the performance of the obligation will result in an outflow of economic benefits from the Company and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably, as a provision for liabilities. 2. The Company initially measures the provision for liabilities based on the best estimate of the expenditures required to meet the relevant present obligations and reviews the carrying amount of the provision for liabilities at the balance sheet date. 28. Share-based payment 1. Types of share-based payments Include equity-settled share-based payments and cash-settled share-based payments. 2. Accounting for the implementation, modification and termination of share-based payment plans (1) Equity-settled share-based payments Equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for staff services that are immediately available upon grant are included in the related costs or expenses at the fair value of the equity instruments at the date of grant, with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve. Equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for staff services that are contingent upon completion of services in the waiting period or satisfaction of specified performance conditions, the services received in the present period are included in the related costs or expenses at fair value on the date of grant of the equity instruments, based on the best estimate of the number of contingent equity instruments, at each balance sheet date in the waiting period, with a corresponding adjustment to the capital reserve. Equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by other parties, if the fair value of the services rendered by the other parties can be measured reliably, is measured at the fair value of the services rendered 173 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report by the other party at the acquisition date; If the fair value of the services provided by other parties cannot be reliably measured, but the fair value of the equity instrument can be reliably measured, it is measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the date when the services are obtained and included in the related cost or expense, with a corresponding increase in owner's equity. (2) Cash-settled share-based payments Cash-settled share-based payments in exchange for staff services that are immediately available after the grant are included in the related costs or expenses at the date of grant at the fair value of the liability assumed by the Company, with a corresponding increase in the liability. Cash-settled share-based payments in exchange for staff services that are contingent upon the completion of services in the waiting period or satisfaction of specified performance conditions, are included in the related costs or expenses and the corresponding liabilities for services rendered in the present period at the fair value of the liabilities assumed by the Company on the basis of the best estimate of the right to perform at each balance sheet date during the waiting period. (3) Amending or terminating the Share-based Payment Plan If the modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Company recognizes an increase in services received in response to the increase in fair value of the equity instruments; If the modification increases the number of equity instruments granted, the Company recognizes the fair value of the increased equity instruments as an increase in access to services accordingly; If the Company modifies the vesting conditions in a manner beneficial to the employees, the Company considers the modified vesting conditions when dealing with the vesting conditions. If the modification reduces the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Company continues to recognize the amount of services received based on the fair value of the equity instruments at the date of grant, irrespective of the decrease in fair value of the equity instruments; If the modification reduces the number of equity instruments granted, the Company treats the reduction as a cancellation of the equity instruments granted; If the vesting condition is modified in a manner detrimental to the employees, the modified vesting condition is not considered when dealing with the vesting condition. If the Company cancels an equity instrument granted or settles an equity instrument granted within the waiting period (unless canceled because the vesting condition is not met), the cancellation or settlement is treated as an accelerated vesting, immediately recognizing the amount that would have been recognized within the remaining waiting period. 29. Revenue Disclosure of accounting policies used in revenue recognition and measurement by business type 1. Revenue recognition principle At the commencement date of a contract, the Company performs an assessment of the contract, identifies the individual performance obligation contained in the contract, and determines whether the individual performance obligation is performed within a certain period of time or at a certain point in time. A performance obligation is satisfied within a certain period of time when one of the following conditions is met; otherwise, the performance obligation is satisfied at a certain point in time: (1) the client obtains and consumes the economic benefits brought by the performance of the Company while the Company performs; (2) the client is able to control the goods under construction during the performance of the Company; (3) Commodities produced in the course of the Company's performance have an irreplaceable use and the Company is entitled to collect payments for the part of performance that has been completed so far during the entire contract period. For performance obligations performed over a period of time, the Company recognizes revenue based on the progress of the performance over that period of time. When the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined, if the costs incurred are expected to be compensated, revenue is recognized based on the amount of costs incurred until the performance progress can be reasonably determined. For performance obligations performed at a certain point in time, revenue is recognized at the point in time when the client obtains control of the related goods or services. In determining whether the client has obtained control of the commodity, the Company considers the following indicators: (1) the Company has a present collection right in respect of the commodity, i.e. the client has a present payment obligation in respect of the commodity; (2) the Company has transferred the legal ownership of the commodity to the client, i.e. the client has owned the legal ownership of the commodity; (3) The Company 174 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report has physically transferred the commodity to the client, i.e. the client has physically occupied the commodity; (4) the Company has transferred the principal risks and rewards of ownership of the commodity to the client, i.e. the client has obtained the principal risks and rewards of ownership of the commodity; (5) the client has accepted the commodity; (6) Other indicators that the client has obtained control of the commodity. 2. Revenue measurement principles (1) The Company measures revenue at the transaction price allocated to the individual performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled to collect for the transfer of goods or services to the client, excluding amounts received on behalf of third parties and amounts expected to be returned to the client. (2) Where there is a variable consideration in the contract, the Company determines the best estimate of the variable consideration based on the expected value or the amount that is most likely to occur, but the transaction price that contains the variable consideration does not exceed the amount by which it is highly probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the relevant uncertainty is eliminated. (3) Where there is a significant financing component in the contract, the Company determines the transaction price based on the amount payable that is assumed to be paid in cash when the client obtains control of the goods or services. The difference between the transaction price and the contract consideration is amortized using the effective interest method over the contract period. At the commencement date of the contract, if the Company expects the client to obtain control of the goods or services within one year of the customer paying the price, it does not consider the significant financing component in the contract. (4) If the contract contains two or more performance obligations, the Company shall, on the commencement date of the contract, allocate the transaction price to the individual performance obligation based on the relative proportion of the individual selling prices of the commodities promised by the individual performance obligation. 3. Specific methods of revenue recognition Sales of products such as the Company's Hand Tools, Power Tools, Laser Measurement and Storage are performance obligations performed at a certain point in time, and revenue from domestic sales is recognized when the Company delivers the product to the contractually agreed place of delivery and the client confirms acceptance, has received the price or has the right to receive the payment and the related economic benefits are likely to flow in. Export revenue is recognized when the Company has declared the product in accordance with the contract, obtained a bill of lading or arrived at the destination specified by the client and the client confirms the acceptance, has received the payment for goods or has obtained the right to receive payment and the related economic benefits are likely to flow in. Similar businesses adopt different business models and involve different revenue recognition and measurement methods 30. Contract cost Incremental costs of the Company to acquire a contract that are expected to be recovered are recognized as an asset as contract acquisition cost. If contract acquisition cost is amortized over a period not exceeding one year, such costs are recognized directly in current gains/losses when incurred. Costs of the Company for the performance of a contract, which fall out of the scope of regulation on standards about inventories, fixed assets, or intangible assets and fall in the following conditions, are recognized as an asset as contract performance cost: 1. Such cost is directly related to a current contract or a contract expected to be awarded, including the cost on direct labor, direct materials, manufacturing expense (or similar cost), cost explicitly attributable to a client and any other cost incurred solely as a result of contract; 2. Such cost increases the resources available to the Company to fulfil its performance obligations in the future; and 3. Such cost is expected to be recovered. 175 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report The Company amortizes assets related to contract costs on the same basis as income recognition for the commodities or services to which the asset connects through current gains/losses. If the book value of an asset related to contract costs is greater than the remaining consideration expected to be received for the transfer of commodities or services related to the asset, less estimated costs estimated to be incurred, the Company withdraws a provision for impairment and recognizes an asset impairment loss for the excess. If, as a result of subsequent changes to the factors to impair the asset in a previous period, the residual consideration expected to be received for the transfer of the commodities or services on the asset, less estimated costs to be incurred, is greater than the book value of the asset, the original provision for impairment of the asset is reversed and stated as current gains/losses, provided that the book value of the asset after the reversal is no greater than what the asset would have been had no provision for impairment been withdrawn by the date of the reversal. 31. Government grants 1. A government grant is recognized when both of the following conditions are met: (1) the Company is able to meet the conditions attached to the government grant; (2) The Company is able to receive government grants. Where government grants are monetary funds, they are measured at the amount received or receivable. Government grants that are non-Monetary funds are measured at fair value; Where the fair value cannot be reliably obtained, it is measured at the nominal amount. 2. Basis for judging government grants related to assets and accounting methods Government documents provide that government grants used to purchase, build or otherwise forming long-term assets are classified as government grants related to the assets. If the government documents are not clear, the judgment shall be based on the basic conditions necessary to obtain the grant, and the government grant whose basic conditions are to purchase, build or otherwise form long-term assets shall be deemed as the government grant related to the asset. Government grants relating to assets offset against the carrying amount of the related assets or are recognized as deferred income. Where government grants relating to assets are recognized as deferred income, they are credited to profit or loss over the United States life of the relevant assets in a reasonable and systematic manner. Government grants measured at nominal amounts are credited directly to profit or loss for the current period. Where the relevant asset is sold, transferred, scrapped or damaged before the end of its useful life, the undistributed balance of the relevant deferred income is transferred to the profit or loss of the current period in which the asset is disposed of. 3. Basis for judging government grants related to income and accounting method Government grants other than those relating to assets are classified as income-related government grants. For government grants that contain both asset-related and revenue-related components, those that are difficult to distinguish between asset-related and income-related are classified as income-related government grants in their entirety. Government grants relating to income that compensate for related costs, expenses or losses in subsequent periods are recognized as deferred income, and are credited to profit or loss or reduced to related costs in the current period in which the related costs, expenses or losses are recognized; Those used to compensate the related costs or losses incurred are directly included in the current profit or loss or offset against the related costs. 4. Government grants relating to the Company's daily operating activities are included in other revenue or offset against related costs and expenses in accordance with the substance of the economic business. Government grants that are not related to the Company's daily activities are included in the non-operating revenue and expenses. 32. Deferred tax assets/deferred tax liabilities 1. A deferred income tax asset or a deferred income tax liability is recognized based on the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax basis (or the difference between the carrying amount of an item that is not recognized as an asset or liability and the tax basis if its tax basis can be determined in accordance with the provisions of the tax law) at the tax rates applicable in the period in which the asset is expected to be recovered or the liability is settled. 2. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent of the amount of the taxable income that is likely to be obtained and deducted from deductible temporary difference. On the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets that have not been recognized in previous accounting periods shall be recognized if there is conclusive evidence that sufficient taxable income is likely to be obtained in the future period to offset deductible temporary differences. 176 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report 3. On the balance sheet date, the carrying value of deferred income tax assets is reviewed and, if it is probable that sufficient taxable income will not be available in future periods to offset the benefits of the deferred income tax assets, the carrying value of the deferred income tax assets is written down. The amount written down is reversed when it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available. 4. The current corporate income tax and deferred income tax are included in the current profit or loss as income tax expense or earnings, but do not include income tax arising from (1) business combination; (2) Transactions or events recognized directly in owner's equity. 5. The Company will list the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as the net amounts upon offsetting where all the following conditions are met: (1) It has the statutory right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities; (2) The deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are related to the income tax levied by the same tax administration department on the same taxpayer or related to different taxpayers, but during any future period in which important deferred tax assets or liabilities are reversed, the taxpayers involved have the intention to offset the current tax assets against the current tax liabilities, or acquire assets and settle liabilities concurrently. 33. Lease (1) Accounting method for lease as lessee At the commencement date of the lease term, the Company considers a lease that has a lease term of not more than 12 months and does not contain a purchase option as a short-term lease; Leases that have a lower value when the individual leased asset is an entirely new asset are considered to be leases of low-value assets. Where the Company subleases or expects to sublease the leased asset, the original lease is not deemed as a lease of low-value assets. For all short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Company includes the amount of lease payments into the relevant asset cost or current profit and loss according to the straight-line method during each period of the lease term. In addition to the short-term leases and leases of low-value assets with simplified treatment described above, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases at the commencement date of the lease term. (1) Right-of-use assets Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which includes: 1) the amount initially measured for the lease liability; 2) the amount of lease payments paid on or before the commencement date of the lease term, if there is a lease incentive, less the amount of the lease incentive already enjoyed; 3) initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; 4) the costs that the lessee expects to incur to dismantle and remove the leased asset, restore the site on which the leased asset is located, or restore the leased asset to the condition agreed upon in the lease terms. The Company depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis. If it is reasonably certain that the ownership of assets leased will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the Company conducts depreciation during the remaining useful life of the leased assets. Otherwise, depreciation is conducted during the lease term or the remaining useful life of the leased assets, whichever is shorter. (2) Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease term, the Company recognizes the present value of the unpaid lease payments as the lease liabilities. The present value of lease payments is calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease as the discount rate. If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined, the corporate incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount rate. The difference between the lease payments and their present value is treated as an unrecognized finance charge. Interest expense is recognized in profit or loss for each lease term period at the discount rate used to recognize the present value of the lease payments. Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are included in current profit or loss when they actually occur. After the commencement date of the lease term, when there is a change in the amount of substantially fixed payments, a change in the amount expected to be payable for the remaining value of the guarantee, a change in the index or rate used to determine the amount of the lease payments, a change in the outcome of an assessment of a purchase option, a renewal option or a termination option, or a change in the actual exercise, the Company remeasures the lease liability based on the present value of the changed lease payments and adjusts the carrying value of the right-of-use asset accordingly. If the carrying value of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero but the lease liability still needs to be further reduced, the remaining amount is included in the current profit or loss. 177 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report 2. The Company as lessor At the commencement date of a lease, the Company classifies a lease as a finance lease in which substantially all the risks and rewards associated with ownership of the leased asset are transferred, with the exception of an operating lease. (1) Operating leases The Company recognizes lease receipts as rental income on a straight-line basis over each period of the lease term, capitalizes the initial direct costs incurred and allocates them on the same basis as rental income recognition and is credited to profit or loss in installments. Variable lease payments relating to operating leases obtained by the Company that are not included in the lease receipts are included in profit or loss as they actually occur. (2) Finance lease At the commencement date of the lease term, the Company recognizes the finance lease payments receivable based on the net investment in the lease (the sum of the unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the lease receipts outstanding at the commencement date discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease) and derecognizes the finance lease asset. The Company calculates and recognizes interest income at the interest rate implicit in the lease for each period of the lease term. Variable lease payments received by the Company that are not included in the measurement of net lease investment are included in profit or loss as they actually occur. 3. Sale and leaseback (1) The Company operates as a lessee The Company assesses whether the transfer of assets in a sale-and-leaseback transaction is a sale in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenues. If the transfer of an asset in a sale-and-leaseback transaction is a sale, the Company measures the right-of-use asset resulting from the sale-and-leaseback at the portion of the original asset's carrying value that relates to the right-of- use acquired through the leaseback, and recognizes a gain or loss related to the right transferred to the lessor only. If the transfer of an asset in a sale-and-leaseback transaction is not a sale, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset and, at the same time, recognizes a financial liability equal to the transfer proceeds and accounts for the financial liability in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. (2) Accounting method for lease as lessor The Company assesses whether the transfer of assets in a sale-and-leaseback transaction is a sale in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenues. If the transfer of an asset in a sale-and-leaseback transaction is a sale, the Company accounts for the purchase of assets in accordance with other applicable Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and accounts for the lease of assets in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 21 - Leases. If the transfer of an asset in a sale-and-leaseback transaction is not a sale, the Company does not recognize the transferred asset, but recognizes a financial asset equal to the transfer proceeds and accounts for the financial asset in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. 34. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates 1. Segment report The Company determines its operating segment based on its internal organizational structure, Management requirements and internal reporting system. An operating segment is a component of the Company that satisfies all the following conditions: (1) The component is able to generate revenues and incur expenses in daily operations; 178 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report (2) The operating results of the component are able to be regularly reviewed by the Management to determine resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance; and (3) The information on financial position, operating results and cash flows of the segment is available to the Company via analysis. 35. Changes in significant accounting policies and accounting estimates Since January 1, 2023, the Company has implemented the provision of "Accounting Treatment of No Application of Initial Recognition Exemption to Deferred Income Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities from Individual Transactions" in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises Interpretation No. 16 issued by the Ministry of Finance and made adjustments to individual transactions to which the provision applies from the beginning of the earliest reporting period appearing on the financial statements to which the provision applies to the first date on which the provision was applied. For lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized from individual transactions to which the provision applies to at the beginning of the earliest reporting period appearing on the financial statements to which the provision applies, and the estimated liabilities related to asset retirement obligations and corresponding related assets, the Company has made adjustment to the opening retained earnings and other relevant financial statement items of the earliest reporting period appearing on the financial statements to which the provision applies with the cumulative effects in the case of occurrence of taxable and deductible temporary differences in accordance with the provision and the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 18 - Income Taxes. The major changes are as follows: Report items significantly affected Amount affected Remarks Items of the balance sheet for December 31, 2022 Deferred tax assets 16,750,995.34 Deferred tax liabilities 16,329,987.59 Other comprehensive income -1,640.73 Undistributed profit 186,853.02 Non-controlling interest 235,795.46 Items of the 2022 Income Statement Income tax expenses -530,186.38 VI.

Risks Related to Financial Instruments The Company's objective for managing risks associated with financial instruments is to balance risk and return, minimize the negative impact of risks on the Company's operating results, and maximize returns for shareholders and other equity investors. According to the risk Management objective, the Company has developed a basic risk Management strategy to identify and analyze the various risks faced by the Company, establish appropriate risk tolerance thresholds and risk controls, and monitor risks in a timely and reliable manner, keeping them within predefined limits. In its daily activities, the Company faces various risks associated with financial instruments, primarily including credit, liquidity and market risks. The Management has reviewed and approved policies for managing these risks, summarized below. (I) Credit risks Credit risk refers the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. 1. Credit risk Management practices (1) Credit risk evaluation methods The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether the credit risks of relevant financial instruments have increased significantly since their initial recognition. When determining whether credit risks have increased significantly since their initial recognition, the Company considers reasonable and supported information that is available without unnecessary extra cost or effort, including qualitative and quantitative analyses based on historical data, external credit risk ratings and forward-looking information. The Company evaluates financial instruments 245 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report either individually or collectively under similar credit risk characteristics, by comparing the risk of default occurring at the balance sheet date with the risk of default at initial recognition, to determine changes in the risk of default over the expected life of the financial instrument. The Company considers that the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly when one or more of the following quantitative or qualitative criteria are triggered: 1) As the main quantitative criterion, the probability of default in the remaining term on the balance sheet date has increased by over a certain percentage compared to that in the initial recognition; 2) As the main qualitative criteria, significant adverse changes appear in the operational or financial situation of debtors, or existing or anticipated changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment would have a significant adverse effect on debtors' ability to meet their obligations to the Company, etc. (2) Definition of default and credit-impaired assets The Company defines a financial asset as in default when one or more of the following conditions are met, which are consistent with the definition of credit-impaired assets: 1) The debtor faces significant financial difficulty; 2) The debtor breaches contractual covenants binding on the debtor; 3) It is very likely that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; 4) the creditor of the debtor, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the debtor's financial difficulty, having granted to the debtor a concession(s) that the creditor would not otherwise consider. 2. Measurement of expected credit losses The key factors in the measurement of expected credit loss include the probability of default, loss rate of default, and exposure to default risk. The Company develops a model of the probability of default, loss rate of default, and exposure to default risk on the basis of quantitative analysis of historical data (e.g., counterparty rating, guarantee measures and collateral type, payment method, etc.) and forward-looking information. 3. Please refer to section VII (I)- 4, VII (I)-5, VII (I)-6 and VII (I)-7 under VII. "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Items for details on the reconciliation table of opening balance and closing balance of provision for losses of financial instrument. 4. Exposure to credit risk and concentration of credit risk The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to monetary funds and receivables. In order to control such risks, the Company has taken the following measures. (1) Monetary funds The Company deposits its bank balances and other monetary funds in financial institutions with a relatively high credit rating, and therefore its credit risk is relatively low. 2. Receivables The Company performs credit assessment on customers using credit settlement on a continuous basis. The Company selects credible and well-reputed customers based on credit assessment result, and conducts ongoing monitoring on balance of receivables, to avoid significant risks in bad debts. Since the Company's risk points of accounts receivable are distributed among multiple partners and clients, as of December 31, 2023, the Company has certain concentration of credit risk, and 52.69% (versus 37.03% on December 31, 2022:) of the total accounts receivable was due from the five largest clients of the Company. The Company held no collateral or other credit enhancement on balance of receivables. The maximum amount of exposure to credit risk of the Company is the carrying amount of each financial asset at the balance sheet. (II) Liquidity risk 246 Full text of Hangzhou Great Star Industrial Co., Ltd. 2023 Annual Report Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter deficiency of funds in meeting obligations associated with cash or other financial assets settlement. Liquidity risk is possibly attributable to failure in selling financial assets at fair value on a timely basis, or failure in collecting liabilities from counterparties of contracts, or early redemption of debts, or failure in achieving estimated cash flows. In order to control such risk, the Company comprehensively utilized financing tools such as notes settlement, bank borrowings, etc. and adopts long-term and short-term financing methods to optimize financing structures, and finally maintains a balance between financing sustainability and flexibility. The Company has obtained credit limit from several commercial banks to meet working capital requirements and expenditures.

Market risk mainly includes interest risk and foreign currency risk. 1. Interest risk Interest risk is the risk that an enterprise may encounter fluctuation in fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in market interest. The Company's fair value interest risks arise from fixed-rate financial instruments, while the cash flow interest risks arise from floating-rate financial instruments. The Company determines the proportion of fixed-rate financial instruments and floating-rate financial instruments based on the market environment, and maintains a proper financial instruments portfolio through regular review and monitoring. The Company's interest risk in cash flows relates mainly to bank borrowings with floating interest rate. As of December 31, 2023, balance of borrowings with interest accrued at floating interest rate totaled RMB 456,526,439.62 (December 31, 2022: RMB 713,120,304.41). If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company's gross profit and equity will not be significantly affected. 2. Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk arising from changes in fair value or future cash flows of financial instrument resulted from changes in exchange rate. The Company's foreign currency risk relates mainly to foreign currency monetary funds and liabilities. When short-term imbalance occurred to foreign currency assets and liabilities, the Company may trade foreign currency at market exchange rates when necessary to maintain the net risk exposure within an acceptable level.
