Status of the Industry in Which the Company Is Located during the Reporting Period (I) Analysis of industry status quo Under the influence of the pandemic, the economy at large encountered great downward pressure in 2021. Meanwhile, the household paper industry faced a certain degree of operating pressure due to multiple factors such as rising raw material prices, fierce market competition, and unsmooth global supply chain and power cuts/production restrictions in some regions. The excess capacity formed by the rapid growth in recent years and the large production capacity base of the entire industry have slowed down its pace of growth. Despite so, the growth rate in China will still surpass the global average. (II) Development trends of the industry 1. Elimination of outdated production capacity will give more market opportunities to first-tier enterprises. Competent government departments at all levels have strengthened supervision, administration and enforcement of the household paper industry and promulgated a series of regulations and policies, including the Development Policy of the Paper Industry, the Notice of the State Council on Printing and Distributing the Comprehensive Work Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction, the Discharge Standard of Water Pollutants for the Pulp and Water Industry, the Norm of Water Intake for Paper Products, The Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Paper Industry Development, and the Catalogs for the Management of Imported Wastes. Companies with unreasonable economic scale, high energy and water consumption or not up to discharge standards were shut down or ordered for rectification within a time frame. Thus, a large number of backward production capacities have been eliminated. With increasingly stringent environmental protection polices, backward capacities and SMEs with poor anti-risk capabilities will be phased out at an accelerated speed, and the industry concentration level is expected to further increase. 2. Operating models are continually innovated and product structures are constantly optimized. With regard to the marketing of the household paper industry, except for traditional distributors and modern supermarkets, e-commerce channels are continuously expanded while their shares are rapidly growing. Some leading companies have been promoting social media marketing such as WeChat public accounts, Weibo, and live webcasting, and have increased inputs in the development of e-commerce channels. At the same time, in order to cater to the rapidly growing demands of consumers, companies continue to carry out product innovations, upgrade product specifications and packaging designs, optimize product structures, and develop new products by capturing in time changes in the consumption concepts of consumers. Diversified operating models emerge in the industry and 11 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report product structures are further optimized. 3. Efforts are stepped up for equipment upgrading and product R&D. People’s demand for household paper is bound to rise along with the improvement of living standards, requiring constant product capacity expansion in the household paper industry. As such, it is inevitable for production companies of the industry to choose large-scale and automated production equipment, which can also meet the demands for low energy consumption, low water consumption, and low pulp consumption as specified in the overall requirements of the State’s industrial policies for energy conservation, consumption reduction and pollution reduction. In recent years, imports of household paper equipment have been trending up in China, with a focus on the imports of body paper machines. Meanwhile, some large-scale domestic equipment is also constantly optimized and improved. It is foreseeable that large scale and automation of production equipment will be the development direction of the household paper industry in the future. 4. Competitiveness of China’s household paper production companies in the international market will be further intensified. With the rapid development of the household paper industry in China, local enterprises occupy most of the domestic market shares. On the basis of meeting domestic demands, household paper produced in China has been exported to a range of countries and regions around the world with certain competitive advantages. In the future, the competitiveness of Chinese household paper production enterprises in the international market will be steadily enhanced. II. Principal Businesses of the Company during the Reporting Period Mr. Deng Yingzhong, founder of the Company, initiated his entrepreneurial process in 1979. Starting from intensive paper processing, the Company has developed into a diversified group company integrating R&D, production and sales after forty plus years of striving. It is among the first batch of household paper companies listed on China A-shares. The Company, with an adherence to the business philosophy of “building product, enterprise and professional brands”, practices the “All We Care Is You” value proposition and continues to provide consumers with healthy, safe, environmental-friendly, comfortable and convenient products and services. Currently the Company features three major brands, namely C&S, Sun and Dolemi. Main products include toilet paper, facial tissues, paper handkerchiefs, napkins, wet wipes, kitchen tissues, personal care products (sanitary pads), baby diapers, facial towels, etc. Specifics are given in the following: (I) Household paper Face series: Face series are soft, delicate and pliable. Being wettable, the products can be used as face towels. Among them, the oil painting series combine quality and artistry and are therefore praised as “artwork of paper tissues”. Lotion series: Specially developed for female and infant consumers, the products contain moisturizing cream. With selected high-quality 100% virgin wood pulp and quality moisturizing cream, the paper is soft, delicate and 12 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report smooth. It is the professional moisturizing facial tissue brand trusted by consumers. Natural Wood series: Made of 100% imported virgin wood pulp, the products are soft and pliable and meet the EU and U.S. requirements for food contact material testing. Consumers can feel rest assured for its high quality. C&S Jin Zun series: The products are made from 100% imported raw wood pulp and the paper is thick, pliable, and reliable. Sun series: The products use 100% virgin wood pulp. Targeting at the youth market, the brand serves as a powerful supplement to the Company’s primary brand “C&S”. Wipe series: The Company offers a variety of wet wipe products catering to different user groups (including but not limited to adults, children and infants) and different purposes (including but not limited to c leasing wipes, wet toilet paper and wet wipes for equipment use). From basic skin cleansing to advanced care, the series can meet increasingly segmented demands and provide a better experience to consumers. Kitchen towel series: Using 100% virgin wood pulp, the kitchen paper towels boast stronger oil-absorption and water-absorption power and are up to the EU and U.S. Requirements for food contact material testing, thereby better satisfying the multi-functional wiping needs of households. Meanwhile, the kitchen wet wipes boast expedite decontamination power without hurting hands. (II) Personal care products The Company streamlined the personal care product business and anchored a new track for business development. It is committed to offering healthy life solutions with products + services for the whole family and all life scenarios. Revolving around the “Healthy Life” brand matrix, the Company hopes to re-create brand values. In addition, the Company has built self-operated online sales channels for care products based on e-commerce platforms to achieve omni retail. (III) Quality health products Cleansing towel series: To address user pain points, the products make constant innovations in technology, materials and craftsmanship and select 100% plant cellulose fibers. The thicker 100g Cleaning Towel series have been introduced, which are committed to offering the optimal experience to consumers. Business travel series: With the change of lifestyle, the Company understands that people are increasingly concerned about the hygiene problem during business travels. In view of this, it has developed the business travel series such as disposable compressed towels, rinse-free antibacterial hand sanitizers, alcohol sanitary pads, etc. These products are easy to carry, clean and hygienic and can guard the health of consumers anytime, anywhere. Among them, disposable compressed towels, disposable bath towels, etc. are made of plant fibers that are natural, environmental friendly and degradable. They really make travel easy. Household series: The kitchen towels adopt advanced ultrasonic non-adhesive composite technology and double-sided texture design, with stronger water and oil absorption. With an ultra-high volume of 140 g/m2, the products are strong, tough, scrub-resistant, and not easy to flocculate and deform. In addition, the products are up 13 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report to EU and U.S. requirements for food contact material testing. Mask series: Since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, in response to the call of the government, the Company started to produce masks to meet the demands for anti-pandemic materials. Its medical surgical masks feature “efficient filtration, low breathing resistance and comfortable wearing”. In the future, C&S will continue to escort the breathing health of consumers. (IV) Commercial channel products In addition to home use, the commercial channel products target at wider use scenarios such as office buildings, government departments, enterprises and institutions, factories, airports, hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, department stores, etc. We offer a full range of cleansing and sanitation solutions and may customize products and services according to customer needs. The competition in China’s household paper industry is still fierce and industry concentration will be further strengthened. With enhanced awareness on the concept of healthy living, consumers pay increasing attention to brands. Product quality is still a prominent concern in the industry. Amid all these, the Company has become one of the representative brands of high-end household paper in the market through continuous brand building and quality assurance as well as robust production capacity layout and channel expansion. It is ranked among the first echelon in the household paper industry and is well recognized by consumers and the market. In addition, with an adherence to the value concept of “All We Care Is You”, the Company continues to tap consumer needs and constantly upgrades and optimizes products with leverage on its strong R&D and innovation capabilities. The Company is committed to providing consumers with products of better quality, more comfort, and more tailored to their individual needs. The Company aims to achieve national product coverage which is underpinned by continuously improving product reputation among consumes and consolidating brand awareness. III. Analysis of Core Competitiveness 1. Belonging to the first echelon of the domestic household paper industry The Company is a top-performing enterprise in the first echelon of the domestic household paper industry with products available at all channels and both at home and abroad. In addition, it actively taps overseas markets including Southeast Asia, North Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and North America. 2. Constantly optimized product structure and continuously improved product competitiveness The Company boasts three major brands, namely C&S, Sun and Dolemi. Main products include paper rolls, coreless rolls, facial tissues, tissue handkerchiefs, wipes (including wet toilet paper), personal care products, baby diapers, face towels, kitchen towels, etc. The Company continues to optimize product structure and increase the sales proportion of high-end, high-margin products and non-roll categories. Efforts have been stepped up for the terminal sales of the Oil Painting, Face, 14 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report Lotion and other high-end, high-margin series. Precise brand marketing strategy combined with multi-channel sales layout will help improve the distribution and penetration of high-end, high-margin products, drive the growth of their shares, and hence steadily improve the profit margin and profitability of products. In the context of COVID-19, consumers become increasingly concerned of health protection, which has driven their differentiated demands for high-end tissue paper. In view of this, C&S has grasped the changing trend of the market and precisely developed alcohol wet wipes, sanitary wipes, facial cleansing towel, compressed towel, disposable bath towel, mouthwash, mask and other non-traditional dry wipe products. In addition, high-end, high-margin non-traditional dry wipes have been positioned as a strategic category that will be prioritized in the future. 3. Professional and effective management team The R&D, production, procurement, quality control, marketing and sales teams have successively introduced excellent professionals since 2014. At present, the Company boasts the most outstanding R&D, production, branding and marketing teams in the industry. As such, its new product R&D, product quality, branding, sales and marketing have been effectively solidified. Most of the mid-level managers of the marketing team are core, backbone employees who have served in the Company for more than five years, with high sense of loyalty and strong professional competence. They can lead sales teams to work hard according to the strategic goals of the Company and promote the healthy and stable development of various business indicators. The management team of the Company has formulated long-term and strategic plans in line with actual situation of the Company, industry development level, and market demands. Moreover, the management team is capable of making reasonable decisions on operation management issues with relation to R&D, production, marketing, investment and financing, and effectively implementing such decisions. The excellent management team fundamentally guarantees the Company’s competitiveness and sustainable development in the future. 4. Nationwide marketing network The Company has been building and improving its marketing networks with reasonable layout based on its keen and strategic insights. It has guaranteed its profitability by expanding its channels from a single dealer channel in 2015 to five channels at present, i.e. GT (General Trade), KA (Key Account), AFH (Away From Home), EC (E-Commerce), and RC (Retail Consumer). Its current marketing network covers most of the prefecture-level (and county-level) cities. Products are directly sold to counties and then distributed to towns. This helps achieve segmented and flat market operation and expand the dealer network. Additionally, while ensuring the smooth operation of other channels, the Company has established a professional e-commerce operation team, devoted more resources to e-commerce platforms, built and strengthened the corresponding supply chain system, and intensified its routine operation management. At present, it has cemented long-term strategic cooperation with mainstream well-known platforms. The Company has strengthened the layout of emerging business models such as new retail, O2O and content marketing, while efforts have been 15 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report stepped up for livestream shopping and community group buying. In addition, it has developed an AFH service team for AFH channels and customer bases to match the growing AFH market. In response to the market changes of modern KA channels, the Company actively adjusts strategies and strives to improve efficiency and effectiveness of resource inputs. Attributable to a robust sales network plus quality and diversified products, the Company is able to constantly consolidate its market basis, improve consumer experience, and enhance brand reputation, which can help achieve sustainable and stable growth in the future. 5. Nationwide layout of production bases The Company has developed a production layout covering East China, South China, West China, North China, and Central China, through its subsidiaries including Jiangmen C&S, Yunfu C&S, Sichuan C&S, Zhejiang C&S, Hubei C&S, and Tangshan Subsidiary. Thanks to the nationwide layout of production bases, the Company has narrowed the distance to customers, reduced transportation costs, and enhanced transportation efficiency. 6. Product quality at an international level The Company has always regarded product quality as its lifeline of survival and development ever since its incorporation. First-class quality derives from first-class raw materials. Raw materials of the Company have passed the ISO quality management system certification. Besides strict feed inspection procedures, it has introduced HACCP food hygiene and safety management system to control the hygiene and quality of products from the source. Moreover, its products have passed ISO9001 quality management system certification which is the strictest detecting system for product quality. The Company has observed internationally-advanced quality management system standards and utilized advanced processes, formulas, and control procedures in production to ensure each technical performance indicator. 7. Good R&D capabilities The Company is equipped with a complete product development system and the R&D department boasts strong independent R&D capabilities and excellent product formula technologies. In recent years, the Company has continuously upgraded and optimized its products, in a bid to provide consumers with products that are of better quality, more comfortable and more aligned with their individual needs. Products of the Company have extended from household paper to cross-category household daily necessities including cleansing towel series, sanitary wipes, baby diapers, etc. The Company’s speed of bringing forth new products is at the forefront of the industry. 8. Advanced production equipment The Company drives development with technological progress and has introduced advanced papermaking equipment and processing equipment from Austria, Germany, Italy, Japan and other countries. The diversified equipment can produce a variety of products that can meet the differentiated needs of consumers. As a first-tier enterprise, the Company occupies a leading position in the industry when it comes to the scale and automation of production equipment. Advanced technology and highly automated equipment have strengthened the Company’s 16 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report efficiency, further satisfied ever-growing market demands, and served as an unstoppable driving force to development. 9. Outstanding environmental protection awareness and technology Along with the deepening of industrialization, the concept of environmental protection has been deeply rooted among the people. The Company has adhered to the concept of "seeking green benefits and fulfilling corporate social responsibilities", and utilized advanced environmental protection technologies to pursue its objective of environmental protection. Its waste water and gas emissions are superior to the national standards. The Company actively fulfills its corporate social responsibilities and actively responds to China’s strategic goals of “carbon peaking” in 2030 and “carbon neutrality” in 2060 by fully supporting and enforcing various environmental protection requirements of the government. In the future, the advantages and anti-risk capabilities of C&S in energy conservation and emission reduction will be further highlighted. IV. Analysis of Principal Businesses 1. Overview The situation of pandemic prevention and control was still challenging while international politics and economy remained complex during 2021. Under the influence of factors such as continual rise in material and energy prices, increasingly intensified market competition, consumers’ more sensitivity to prices and more cautious consumption attitude, the household paper industry faces certain pressure and challenges in the short run. The management of the Company actively responds to such a severe situation through a series of effective actions like continued optimization of category structure, product innovation and upgrading, brand building and intensive channel cultivation, to promote the stable growth of sales. In 2021, the Company registered an operating income of RMB9.150 billion, up by 16.95% over the previous year. Lower-than-expected sales prices of major products and rising material and energy prices led to the increase of production costs. Meanwhile, the Company actively expanded and developed channels and increased strategic investment in brand promotion. As a result, the profitability has declined. The net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company was RMB581 million in 2021, a year-on-year decrease of 35.85%. (1) Continuously optimizing category structure and building channels in a deep and meticulous manner to promote steady sales growth During the reporting period, the Company continued to develop new products through innovations while adjusting the structure of existing categories. With a focus on brand building, C&S has accelerated the introduction and improved coverage of high-margin products, which has increased the sales shares of high-end, high-margin products and non-roll paper categories. Moreover, in order to adapt to changes in the consumption patterns of consumers, while ensuring the smooth operation of other channels, C&S has strengthened the layout and 17 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report development of new retail channels such as e-commerce and community group buying. Efforts have been stepped up in the construction of online distribution network and the upgrading of online operation and management system. The Company actively embraces livestream shopping and community group buying and explores more effective ways of traffic attraction. All these have enabled better market performances of high-margin and innovative products. (2) Keeping up with new trends of consumption and establishing a standardized brand matrix through brand upgrading In 2021, the Company optimized its three business segments of household paper, personal care products and quality health products around the three scenarios of household care, personal care and travel care. In the household paper sector, driven by the dual brands of C&S and Sun, the Company continues to strengthen its high-end and young-oriented features and consolidate the influence of the parent brand on the sub-brand. Diversified professionals with rich experience in paper products and in beauty and skin care categories have been introduced, while the operation team for the Sun brand was re-organized with independent accounting, flat operation and flexible innovation. A clearer product positioning and hierarchical sequence have been defined after sorting out existing products, to create a more competitive product matrix. In addition, the Company also improved the high-end product line, launched a new brand strategy and effectively integrated resources. All these efforts have facilitated the quality development of the Company and its brands. (3) Enhance product competitiveness with innovation and upgrading Product quality is always put at the forefront of development. The Company boasts a complete product development system as well as strong independent R&D capabilities and excellent product formula technologies. In 2021, in line with market developments and consumers’ increasingly diversified product needs, the Company initiated innovative product development in household paper, quality health products and other business sectors for different usage scenarios and user groups. Efforts have been stepped up in the construction of internal R&D teams and cooperation with external scientific research institutions. Product matrix and sequence in various sectors were upgraded and optimized, with a focus on improving product quality and user experience. Design and innovation iterations have better satisfied consumer needs which are well received by consumers. This further increases user stickiness and consolidates product competitiveness. (4) Improving organizational structure and building a talent development system to stimulate the vitality of corporate development 2021 is an important year for the Company’s reform and strategic development. Talent team building is of crucial importance to corporate development. Valuing and respecting employees and giving full play to their talents have been an eternal theme of the Company in the course of development. As such, C&S further improved its organizational structure, rank system and remuneration system and put in place diversified incentive mechanisms, to ensure the sound and standardized operation and management of the Company on one hand and fully stimulate 18 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report the vitality of employees and teams on the other. The Company attaches great importance to the cultivation of employees and always puts talent at the focal point of corporate development. Therefore, it constantly improves the talent management and development system and offers fair development channels and diverse education and training opportunities for employees. For this purpose, the Learning and Talent Development Center was officially established. The Company will establish a comprehensive internal talent pool for all levels, formulate an efficient talent echelon training mechanism and actively transform learning outcomes. All these will help build a future- and learning-oriented team and activate the new engine of corporate development. A priority of the Company is team cohesion and humanized care and management of employees. In order to enhance employees’ sense of belonging and happiness, C&S has built simple and efficient communication channels and adopted a series of measures. (5) Successfully completing second phase unlocking/exercise of the stock incentive plan, thereby stimulating employees’ enthusiasm for work During the reporting period, the Company successfully completed the unlocking of first-grant and reserved restricted shares in the second unlock period as well as the exercise of stock options in the second exercise period under the 2018 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Incentive Plan. In this way employees could share the fruits of corporate development, which is conducive to stimulating their continual enthusiasm for work, tapping the value of all employees and laying a solid foundation for the long-term stable development of the Company. (6) Fulfilling corporate social responsibilities by supporting each other and passing on love As a national enterprise, C&S has never forgotten its original intention while forging ahead. The Company is enthusiastic about charity and actively fulfills corporate social responsibilities. In 2021, C&S was actively involved in pandemic prevention and control, flood relief, poverty alleviation, and other causes of promoting social, economic and cultural development. In joint efforts with the China Charity Federation, Guangzhou Charity Association, Zhongshan Charity Association and other charity organizations of various regions, the Company donated cash and materials with a cumulative worth over RMB14 million. Wherein, facing the severe flood in Zhengzhou and other regions in July 2021, the Company, in cooperation with several charity organizations including the Red Cross Society of China Zhengzhou Branch, quickly donated disaster relief materials with a total value of more than RMB2.5 million to disaster-stricken areas. As such, it has been awarded titles of “2021 Top 500 Chinese Corporate Philanthropists” and “2021 Top 500 Chinese Companies of Flood Relief Donations”. In addition, the Company teamed up with the Chinese Dance Sport Federation and the China Ballroom Dance Federation and organized the “C&S Cup” dance competition. Meanwhile, C&S and Shenzhen Media Foundation jointly established the “Learning Fund” to actively promote the educational public welfare undertaking. Moreover, the Company carried out in-depth cooperation with Zhongshan Women and Children’s Federation and jointly established the “Women’s Home”, with a purpose of promoting the entrepreneurship of moms, conducting welfare activities for children, caring for the health of women, and protecting the rights and interests of women and children.

Outlook of the Company’s Future Development (I) Development strategy and planning of the Company Adhering to the goal of “building a century-old enterprise and creating a market value of hundred billion”, the Company practices the “targeted, people-oriented” action principle by bearing consumers, partners and employees in mind. It will continue to improve shareholder returns, optimize the experience of and reputation among consumers, and elevate the sense of belonging and happiness of employees. The Company has defined the goal of strengthening basic management from 2022 to 2024. Specifically, it will comprehensively streamline and optimize the business processes, management system and structure of each operation and management sector including sales, marketing, finance, production, procurement and supply chain, gradually improve IT and data construction, and gradually enhance HR management and talent training and cultivation mechanism. In addition, it will gradually establish driven financial management and supply chain management systems, gradually set up an open, fair, efficient and professional procurement system, and comprehensively strengthen product quality and safe production management. Moreover, the Company will step up efforts for audit supervision, comprehensively enhance basic management capabilities and improve the refined management level, while reducing costs and increasing efficiency. All these will help consolidate the foundation for its long-term, healthy development. The Company will always adhere to the core business of household paper and continuously solidify product layout and market competitiveness in the industry. Meanwhile, related diversified categories will be tried out as supplements. As a member of the first echelon in China’s household paper industry, the Company always puts product quality in the first place as it firmly believes that product is the lifeline of an enterprise. That is why it has been insisting on using advanced equipment and first-class raw materials to produce high-quality products. The Company will continue to improve its independent research and development capabilities and strengthen cooperation with external research and development institutions to enrich product formulas, optimize production processes and meet multi-level and differentiated market demands. The Company will continue to optimize product structure and consolidate the coordinated management of traditional paper tissue, personal health care and quality health products. Moreover, high-end, high-margin non-traditional dry wipes have been positioned as a strategic category that will be prioritized in the future. Resources have been integrated to promote high-end, high-margin products such as the Oil Painting series, Lotion series, kitchen towels, wet toilet paper, facial tissues, Dolemi sanitary pads, and disposal products, which intends to drive the continual growth of their shares and steadily improve the Company’s gross profit margin and 37 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report profitability. The Company will continue to enforce the management requirements of building first-class brands, systems and staff team. Under the guiding marketing idea of “progressing through multiple channels, improving both volume and profit, transforming way of thinking while maintaining the correct and evolving the new”, the Company strives to a build a marketing team and marketing concept featuring co-existence, co-prosperity, co-construction and co-development. By comprehensively optimizing product power, channel power and organizational power and consolidating basic business functions and marketing standardization, it has improved the execution and organizational strengthen of the marketing team in an all-round manner. Moreover, the Company constantly enhances its data-driven management ability and continuously improves and enriches incentive mechanisms for sales teams to seize channel network and terminal resources. In line with market environment and sales progress, the Company will deploy production capacity in an orderly manner to achieve a dynamic balance between production and sales. Horizontal integration and strategic alliance with key customers and leading enterprises will be continued by the Company. (II) Major risks faced by the Company 1. Risk of great fluctuations in pulp prices Pulp is an international bulk raw material and its price is obviously affected by the world economic cycle. With the repeated outbreak of the pandemic in early 2021, pulp imports encountered unstable shipping schedules and blocked transportation. Coupled with factors such as RMB appreciation, buying inflation and mismatch between supply and demand, pulp prices first surged and then eased back. Pulp is the primary raw material of the Company’s production, accounting for 40%-60% of the total production costs. Therefore, substantial fluctuations in pulp prices pose a risk to the Company. 2. Risk of exchange rate fluctuation The import of machinery equipment and pulp and the export of products to overseas market of the Company are mainly settled in USD, HKD, and EUR. Since exchange rates fluctuate under the impact of the international economic situation, the Company faces exchange rate risks. 3. Risk of regional market competition Household paper is a vast market in China in terms of both geography and market space. Given the low unit value, transportation expenses taking up a large part of the sales price, and limitations of the transportation radius, the main competition in the household paper industry lies in regional markets. High-end, mid-end, and low-end products compete in regional markets, with the influence of spending power and consumption habit. Judging from 38 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report the development trend of the industry, mid- and high-end household paper of national brands has more competitive edge. However, at present, some regional brands have an advantage in some regional markets. Compared with overseas counterparts, China’s household paper industry requires continued integration. The Company embraces production bases and a sales network across the country and offers mid- and high-end products under national brands. Nevertheless, it is inescapable from the risk of regional market competition. 4. Risk of industrial policies Stricter requirements have been raised for the papermaking industry in the aspects of scale, technology, equipment, and environmental protection, as multiple industry plans and supporting policies have been successively issued by relevant departments, including the Papermaking Industry Development Policy, the Notice on the Management of Elevated Source Pollution Discharge Permits in Thermal Power and Papermaking Industries and Pilot Cities of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region, and the Opinions of China Paper Association on Fourteenth Five-year Plan for the Papermaking Industry. Particularly, a number of measures have been introduced through environmental protection policies to drive the all-round, coordinated, and sustainable development of the household paper industry, including 1) optimizing the industrial distribution to reasonably allocate resources and promoting clean production to preserve the ecological environment; 2) pushing energy conservation and emission reduction to shut down outdated production facilities, and adjusting product structure and improving product quality; 3) developing resource-saving models to advocate green consumption; and 4) optimizing enterprise structure and driving M&A and restructuring. These policies are designated to strengthen household paper industry concentration, close backward production facilities, and optimize resource allocation. The Company, as an enterprise in the first echelon of the domestic household paper industry, is underpinned by national policies related to the sustainable development of the household paper industry. Precisely because of this, industrial policy adjustment, if any, will impact the production and operations of the Company to some extent. 5. Risk of safe production Most of the materials involved in the household paper industry are flammable, including the main raw material of pulp, the main packing materials of plastic-film packing bags and cartons, the semi-finished product of body paper, and finished products. Due to the characteristics of low unit value and large market consumption, household paper manufacturers have to keep a mass of pulp, packing materials, and semi-finished and finished products from the entry of raw materials into the plant to the delivery of products to the market. Thus, fire can cause enormous losses to such manufacturers. In view of this, the Company has formulated strict fire management regulations for raw materials and semi-finished and finished products, established a full-time safety management department, equipped adequate fire protection equipment in production areas, and bought full insurance for risky properties. As such, the Company’s fire safety risk is low. In addition, a large number of production lines have been put into use, which may pose certain occupational health hazard and cause harm to the occupational health of employees. 39 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report In response to possible occupational health hazards, the Company, at the equipment design and procurement stages, requires suppliers to carry out intrinsic safety design and fulfill the protection measures during the installation process. At the same time, the Company has passed the ISO45001 occupational health and safety (OHS) management system and continues to maintain its effective operations to reduce the occupational health and safety risks of employees. Even though the execution of all these measures has enabled the overall safe production risk to be controllable, the Company still faces certain safe production risks. 6. Risk of logistics transportation In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic has hindered domestic and foreign logistics transportation by sea and land to varying degrees, affecting both the Company’s procurement and sales and upstream suppliers and downstream dealers. In other words, the Company has suffered from multiple dimensions. Though impacts of the pandemic are phased and temporary, risks are unavoidable for the Company as being at the mid- and downstream of the household paper industry chain. 40 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report XII.

Explanation of Changes in Accounting Policies and Estimates or Correction of Significant Accounting Errors Compared with the Financial Report of Last Fiscal Year √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Accounting policy changes 1) Accounting policy changes resulted from the execution of the New Revenue Standards On December 7, 2018, the Ministry of Finance issued the revised Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 21 -- Leases (C.K. [2018] No. 35) (hereinafter referred to as the “New Lease Standards”). As passed under a resolution at the 5th meeting of the fifth session of the Board of Directors on May 21, 2021, the Company started to enforce the aforesaid New Lease Standards from January 1, 2021 and adjusted related accounting policies accordingly. Pursuant to the New Lease Standards, for contracts that already exist prior to the enforcement of the new standards, the Company chooses not to re-evaluate whether they are a lease or contain a lease. The Company only adjusts the cumulative impact number for lease contracts that have been yet been completed as of January 1, 2021. The amounts of retained earnings and other relevant items in the financial statements at the 102 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report beginning of the period for the first time adoption of the new standards (i.e. January 1, 2021) are adjusted based on the accumulative impact amount at the first time adoption, while comparative financial information for the previous accounting periods is not adjusted. The Company’s specific processing and its impact on the date of fist-time adoption of the new standards (i.e. January 1, 2021) are as follows: A The Company as the lessee: For finance leases on the adoption date of the new standards, if the Company is the lessee, it measures the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities according to the original book value of the financial leased assets and the financial lease payables. For operating leases on the adoption date of the new standards, the Company, as the lessee, measures lease liabilities according to the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate on the adoption date of the new standards; the unpaid rent accrued on an accrual basis under the original lease standards is included in the remaining lease payments. For operating leases prior to the adoption date of the new standards, the Company measures the right-of-use asset based on the amount equal to the lease liability and makes necessary adjustments based on prepaid rents. The Company conducts an impairment test on the right-of-use assets on the adoption date and adjusts the book value of the right-of-use assets. For operating leases where the leased assets belong to low-value assets prior to the adoption date, the Company does not recognize as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities For operating leases other than low-value asset leases at the adoption date, the Company applies one or more of the following simplified treatments for each lease: Leases to be completed within 12 months of the adoption date are treated as short-term leases; When measuring lease liabilities, the same discount rate is used for leases with similar characteristics; The measurement of the right-of-use assets excludes initial direct costs; If there is an option to renew or terminate the lease, the Company determines the lease term based on the actual exercise of the option before the adoption date and other latest conditions; If there is a lease change before the adoption date, the company will carry out accounting treatment according to the final arrangement of the lease change. B. Main changes and impacts of the implementation of the New Lease Standards The houses and buildings leased by the company were originally treated as operating leases. According to the new standards, on January 1, 2021, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of RMB 12,852,715.53, lease liabilities of RMB 8,089,819.67, and non-current liabilities due within one year of RMB 4,762,895.86. Impacts on the financial statements dated January 1, 2021 are listed in the following: Statement item Amount on December 31, 2020 (prior to Amount on January 1, 2021 (after change) change) Consolidated Parent Company’s Consolidated Parent Company’s statement statement statement statement Right-of-use assets 12,852,715.53 3,161,008.25 Lease liabilities 8,089,819.67 1,858,811.04 Non-current liabilities due 4,762,895.86 1,302,197.21 within one year The weighted average of the incremental borrowing rate used by the Company on its lease liabilities in its balance sheet dated January 1, 2021 is 4.75%. The adjustment process for the difference between the unpaid minimum lease payments for major operating leases at the end of 2020 as disclosed in its 2020 annual financial statements and those included in lease liabilities on January 1, 2021 is as follows: 103 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report Item Consolidated statement Parent Company’s statement Minimum lease payments of major operating leases at December 14,874,019.59 3,189,784.64 31, 2020 Less: Lease payments with simplified treatment 1,295,863.18 Including: Short-term lease 1,295,863.18 Low-value asset lease Adjusted minimum lease payments of major operating leases at 13,578,156.41 3,189,784.64 January 1, 2021 Weighted average of incremental borrowing rates 4.75% 4.75% Balance of lease liabilities on January 1, 2021 12,852,715.53 3,161,008.25 Including: Lease liabilities due within one year 4,762,895.86 1,302,197.21 2.

II. Basis of Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with the Auditing Standards for PRC Certified Public Accountants. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Certified Public Accountants’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Chinese Certified Public Accountants (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. III. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We determine the followings are key audit matters in need of communication in our report. 137 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (I) Recognition of operating income Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Our audit procedures included: (1) We obtained an understanding of and evaluated the internal control design over the recognition of operating income and its operating effectiveness; (2) We obtained an understanding and evaluated whether policies for recognizing operating income were in compliance with requirements of accounting standards for business enterprises via interviewing the management, consulting the Company’s accounting policies, etc.; As stated in Note VI (34) in the Company’s (3) We checked whether there were any abnormalities in the operations of the financial statements, the Company recorded an Company’s major customers and whether there was related relationship between such operating income of RMB9,149,870,464.80 in customers and the Company or its related parties by checking the business registration 2021. Since the amount of operating income is information of the customers and contracts with them; significant and a key performance indicator, (4) We adopted the sampling method to select some customers and send them the there is a relatively high inherent risk, so we confirmation letter to verify the balance of accounts receivable, the balance of identify the recognition of operating income as prepayment, and the amount of sales income; a key audit matter. (5) In respect of domestic sales, we adopted the sampling method to check the large-value contracts and sales orders as well as their corresponding invoices, outbound orders, delivery orders, customer receipts, etc.; for export sales, we used the sampling method to check large-value contracts and sales orders as well as their corresponding invoices, customs declarations, freight bills of lading, customer receipts, etc.; (6) We conducted cutoff test for operating income to assess whether operating income was recognized in an appropriate period. (II) Recognition of selling expenses Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit As stated in Note VI(36) in the Company’s Our audit procedures included: financial statements, the Company recorded a (1) We obtained an understanding of and evaluated the internal control design over the selling expense of RMB1,986,544,514.02 in recognition of selling expense and its operating effectiveness; 2021, accounting for 21.71% of operating (2) We obtained the detailed list of selling expenses, and analyzed the reasonableness income. Since selling expense has a great of each expense item based on features of the Company’s businesses; we also analyzed impact on the Company’s financial results, the proportion of main expense items in the main business income and whether the which may cause a major misstatement risk, we change trend of selling expense consistent with that of income; identify the recognition of selling expense as a (3) We conducted a spot check of main items under selling expense and selected and 138 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report key audit matter. checked some selling expense vouchers against corresponding contracts, invoices, bank receipts and other original documents, as well as the Company’s sales promotion policies, remuneration policies, etc.; (4) We conducted cutoff test for selling expense to assess whether selling expense was recognized across periods. IV. Other information The Company’s management is responsible for other information. Other information includes the information included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report, but excludes the financial statements and our audit report. Our audit opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit process or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that if there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. V. Responsibilities of Management and Governance Layer for Financial Statements The management of C&S Paper Co., Ltd. (hereinafter the “Management”) is responsible for preparing financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and fairly presenting them; the Management also needs to design, implement and maintain necessary internal control to enable that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing matters in relation to going concern (if applicable) and applying the going-concern assumption unless the Management intends to liquidate the Company, cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. The governance layer is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company. VI. Certified Public Accountants’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether these financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with CSAs 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 work in accordance with CSAs, 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, 139 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. (II) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. (III) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. (IV) Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to drawing attention in our audit report to the related disclosures in these financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. (V) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. (VI) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit, and remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, 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 comply with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and related safeguards (if applicable). From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our audit report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in tiny minority 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 treatment measures of business combinations involving enterprises under common control and business combinations involving enterprises not under common control Business combinations refer to the combination of two or more independent enterprises to form a reporting entity of transactions or events. Business combination can be classified as business combinations involving enterprises under common control and business combinations involving enterprises not under common control. (1) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control Business combinations under common control means enterprises involved in the business combination are under ultimate control by one party or the same multi-parties before and after combination, and such control is not temporary. For business combinations under common control, those who obtain control of enterprises involved in the business combination on the combination date are the acquirer while other enterprises involved in the business combination are the acquiree. Combination date is the date that the combining party actually obtains control of the combined party. Assets and liabilities that the acquirer gets from the acquiree are calculated and measured at the book values on the combination date. If there are differences between the book values of the net assets the acquirer receives and the book values of the combination consideration it pays (or the face values of the issued shares), the differences will be used to adjust capital reserves (share premium). Where capital reserves (share premium) are insufficient to offset, retained earnings shall be adjusted. All direct expenses related to the business combinations paid by the acquirer shall be included in current profits and losses upon occurrence. (2) Business combinations involving enterprises not under common control Business combinations not under common control means enterprises involved in the business combination are not under ultimate control by one party or the same multi-parties before and after combination. For business combinations not under common control, those who obtain control of enterprises involved in the business combination on the acquisition date are the acquirer, while other enterprises involved in the business combination are the acquiree. Acquisition date is the date that the acquirer actually obtains control of the acquiree. For business combinations not under common control, the costs of combination include the assets the acquirer pays, liabilities the acquirer bears, and the fair value of the equity securities issued on the date of combination for the acquisition of control over the acquiree. The costs of auditing, legal services, evaluation consulting, other intermediary expenses and other management fees incurred for business combination shall be included in current profits and losses. The transaction costs of the equity securities and debt securities issued by the acquirer shall be included in the initially confirmed amounts of equity securities and debt securities. The contingent consideration involved shall be included in the costs of business combination based on its fair value at the acquisition date. If, within 12 months after the acquisition, there is new or further evidence for conditions that have already existed on the acquisition date and the contingent consideration shall be re-adjusted, the combination goodwill shall be adjusted accordingly. The acquirer’s costs of business combinations and its identifiable net assets obtained from business combinations shall be assessed at the fair values on the acquisition date. If the costs of business combinations are higher than the identifiable net assets of the acquiree on the acquisition date, the gap between 170 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report them shall be confirmed as goodwill. If the costs of business combinations are lower than the fair values of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree on the acquisition date, the fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and continent liabilities as well as the measurement of combination costs shall be reassessed; if, upon reassessment, the business combination costs are still lower than the fair values of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, the difference shall be included in profits and losses of the current period. If the deductible temporary differences the acquirer gets from the acquiree are not eligible to be confirmed as deferred tax asset on the acquisition date, and within 12 months of the acquisition, there are new or further evidence for the conditions that have already existed on the acquisition date that the economic profits brought by the deductible temporary differences of the acquiree could be achieved, such differences shall be confirmed as deferred tax asset. At the same time, the goodwill shall be reduced. Where the goodwill is insufficient to be deducted, the gap between them shall be included in current profits and losses. Apart from the aforementioned situations, all deductible temporary differences confirmed to be relevant to the business combination shall be recorded in current profits and losses. For business combinations not under common control that are achieved through multiple steps, whether they can be regarded as package deals shall be judged in accordance with Notice No.5 of the Interpretation of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises of the Ministry of Finance (C.K. [2012] No.19), and the standards of “package deals” set out in Article 51 of the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 33 – Consolidated Financial Statements (please refer to Note V (6) "methods for preparation of consolidated financial statements" (2)). In the event that the combination is regarded as "package deals", accounting treatment shall be done by referring to the descriptions in previous paragraphs of this section and “Note V (22) Long-term equity investments” herein; if not, accounting treatment shall be done by distinguishing individual financial statements from consolidated financial statements: In individual financial statements, the initial investment costs shall be the sum of the book value of the equity investment of the acquiree held before the acquisition date and the new investment costs on the acquisition date; if other comprehensive income is involved in the equities of the acquiree before the acquisition date, accounting processing shall be done for the comprehensive income related to this investment by adopting the same basis for directly disposing of relevant assets or liabilities of the acquiree during the disposal of this investment. In consolidated financial statements, the equities of the acquiree held before the acquisition date shall be re-measured at the fair value of the equities on the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value and the book value shall be recognized as the return on investment of the current period; if other comprehensive income is involved in the equities of the acquiree before the acquisition date, accounting processing shall be done for the comprehensive income related to this investment by adopting the same basis for directly disposing of relevant assets or liabilities of the acquiree. 6. Methods for preparation of consolidated financial statements (1) Principles of determining the scope of consolidated financial statements The scope of consolidation of consolidated financial statements shall be subject to the basis of control. Control refers to the power the investor owns against the investee, which allows the investor to enjoy the variable return by attending relevant activities held by the investee, and to be capable of using such power to affect the amount of return. The scope of consolidation is the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries refer to entities controlled by the Company. The Company shall reassess whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to the relevant elements of control as defined above. 171 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (2) Methods for preparation of consolidated financial statements The Company shall include the subsidiaries in the scope of consolidation from the date it acquires the actual control over the net assets and the decision-making of production and operations of such subsidiaries; accordingly, the Company shall terminate including them in the scope of consolidation from the date it loses the actual control. In terms of subsidiaries already disposed of, the operating results and cash flows before the disposal date have been included in the consolidated income statements and the consolidated cash flow statements appropriately; as for subsidiaries disposed in the current period, the opening balance in the consolidated balance sheet shall not be adjusted. In case of subsidiaries added through business combinations not under the same control, the operating results and cash flows after the acquisition date have been included in the consolidated income statements and the consolidated cash flow statements appropriately, and the opening and comparative balance in the consolidated balance sheet shall not be adjusted. In case of subsidiaries added through business combinations under the same control, the operating results and cash flows of the combined party from the beginning of the period in which the combination happens to the combination date have been included in the consolidated income statements and the consolidated cash flow statements appropriately, and the comparative balance in the consolidated balance sheet shall be adjusted simultaneously. In case of inconsistencies in the accounting policies or periods between subsidiaries and the Company during preparation of consolidated financial statements, financial statements of subsidiaries shall be adjusted according to the accounting policies and periods adopted by the Company. For subsidiaries acquired by business combinations not under the same control, their financial statements shall be adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets on the acquisition date. All major business transaction balance, transactions, and unrealized profit of the Company shall be offset during preparation of consolidated financial statements. Shareholders’ equities of subsidiaries and the part of the net profit and loss of the current period not attributable to the Company shall be presented separately under the shareholders’ equities and the net profit in the consolidated financial statements as equities of minority shareholders and minority shareholders’ profits and losses. Shares of equities of minority shareholders in the net profit and loss of the current period of subsidiaries shall be presented under the "minority shareholders’ profits and losses" in the consolidated income statement. If the loss of a subsidiary which is shared by its minority shareholders exceeds the minority shareholders’ share in the opening balance of the subsidiary, the minority interest shall be reduced. If the Parent Company loses control of a subsidiary due to partial disposal of equity investment or other reasons, it shall re-measure the remaining equity at fair value on the date of loss of control. The sum of consideration obtained from equity disposal and fair value of the remaining equity, minus the difference between the Parent Company’s share of the subsidiary’s net assets that is continuously calculated from the acquisition date, shall be recognized as investment income for the reporting period when the loss of control takes place. Accounting processing shall be done for the other comprehensive income related to this investment in the subsidiary’s equities by adopting the same basis for directly disposing of relevant assets or liabilities of the acquiree during the loss of control (that is, except for the changes caused by re-measurement of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan by the previous subsidiary, others shall be transferred to the return on investment of the current period). After that, subsequent measurement shall be done for the remaining equity of this part as per relevant provisions in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 2 - Long-term Equity Investment or the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. See "Note V (22) Long-term equity investments" or "Note V (10) Financial instruments" for details. If the Company disposes of investments in a subsidiary’s equities by steps via transactions until it loses control, it shall check whether these transactions from disposal of the investments in the subsidiary’s equities to the loss of 172 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report control are package deals. If the terms, conditions, and economic effects of transactions on disposing of equity investment in the subsidiary conform to one or more of the following circumstances, that means these multiple transactions should be treated as package deals in accounting processing: 1) Those transactions are reached at the same time or after taking into consideration the influence of each other; 2) those transactions together produce a complete commercial outcome; 3) the occurrence of one transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one other transaction; 4) one transaction alone does not seem to be economical, but all those transactions are economical when are considered as a whole. If those transactions are package deals, each transaction shall be treated as a transaction that results in loss of control of the subsidiary in accounting processing. However, the difference between each disposal price before loss of control and the Parent Company’s share of the subsidiary’s net assets corresponding to the disposal investment shall be recognized as other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements and, upon loss of control, transferred to the profit and loss of the current reporting period. 7. Classification of joint operation arrangements and accounting treatment methods for joint operations None 8. Criteria for recognition of cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits that can be used for payment at any time, and short-term (due within three months from the acquisition date) investment held by the Company with high liquidity, easy to convert to cash in a known amount, and small risk of value changes. 9. Translation of transactions and financial statements denominated in foreign currencies (1) Methods for translation of transactions denominated in foreign currencies At the initial recognition of foreign currency transactions of the Company, foreign currency will be translated into the amount of standard currency for accounting at the spot exchange rate or its approximate exchange rate on the transaction date. However, the business of exchange of foreign currencies or transactions related to the exchange of foreign currencies, foreign currency will be translated into the amount of standard currency for accounting at the exchange rate actually adopted. (2) Methods for translation of monetary and non-monetary items in foreign currencies On the balance sheet date, the foreign currency monetary items are translated at the spot exchange rate on that date. Exchange difference resulting from the difference between the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date and that at the initial recognition or on the previous balance sheet date shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in foreign currencies shall still be converted at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date with the amount of standard currency for accounting unchanged. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in foreign currencies are translated using the foreign exchange rate at the date the fair value is recognized. The difference between the amount of standard currency for accounting after translation and the original amount of the standard currency for accounting shall be treated as a change in fair value (including the change in the exchange rate) and recognized as the profit and loss of the current period or other comprehensive income. (3) Methods for translation of foreign-currency financial statements Foreign-currency financial statements of overseas operations shall be translated into RMB financial statements by 173 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report the following methods: The assets and liabilities in the balance sheet shall be converted at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date; except "undistributed profits", all the other owner’s equity items are converted at the spot exchange rate at the time of occurrence. Income and expense items in the income statement shall be translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. The undistributed profit at the beginning of the year is the previous year’s undistributed profit at the end of the year after conversion; the undistributed profit at the end of the period is allocated and recognized to each item according to the converted profits; the difference between the total of asset and liability items and shareholders’ equity items after conversion is considered as foreign currency translation difference and recognized as other comprehensive income. Translation of comparative financial statements shall be subject to the above provisions. 10. Financial instruments When the Company becomes a party to a financial instrument contract, the financial instrument is confirmed to be either financial assets or financial liabilities. (1) Classification, recognition, and measurement of financial assets According to the business model of managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets, the Company classified financial assets into the following categories: financial assets measured at the amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period. Financial assets are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. For financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period, transaction costs are directly included in profit and loss of the current period. For other types of financial assets, related transaction costs are included in their initial recognized amounts. In terms of the accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from selling products or providing labor service without or not considering major financing component, the Company shall regard the expected consideration amount that it has rights to charge as the initial recognition amount. 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost For the business model where the Company manages the financial assets carried at amortized cost, the Company aims to charge the contract cash flows, and the characteristics of the contract cash flows of this kind of financial assets are consistent with the basic lending arrangements. That is, cash flows generated on specified dates are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. This kind of financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss arising from amortization or impairment is recognized in profit and loss of the current period. 2) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income The business model for the Company to manage this type of financial assets aims at both obtaining the contract cash flows and selling the financial assets, and the characteristics of the contract cash flows of this kind of financial assets are consistent with the basic lending arrangements. The Company measures this kind of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, but recognizes the impairment losses or gains, exchange profit and loss, and interest income calculated by the effective interest method as the profit and loss of the current period. Additionally, the Company designates some non-tradable equity instruments as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company recognizes relevant dividend income from such financial assets as the profit and loss of the current period, and changes in fair value as other comprehensive income. When such financial assets are derecognized, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized as other comprehensive income shall be transferred from other comprehensive income to retained earnings and not 174 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. 3) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period All financial assets other than the other two preceding types are classified as financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period. Moreover, at initial recognition, to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatches, the Company may designate some financial assets as financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period. Such financial assets shall be measured at fair value, and changes in fair value are recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. (2) Classification, recognition, and measurement of financial liabilities At initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. For financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period, transaction costs are directly included in profit and loss of the current period. For other types of financial liabilities, related transaction costs are included in their initial recognized amounts. 1) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period include tradable financial liabilities (including derivatives belonging to financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated to be measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period at initial recognition. Tradable financial liabilities (including derivatives that are financial liabilities) are subsequently measured at fair value, and changes in fair value -- except for those related to hedging accounting -- are recognized as profit and loss of the current period. For those that are designated as financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, the changes in fair value resulting from changes in the credit risk of the Company shall be recognized as other comprehensive income; besides, when such liabilities are derecognized, the amount of accumulative changes in fair value resulting from credit risk changes that are recognized as other comprehensive income shall be transferred to retained earnings. Other changes in fair value shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. If the treatment of the credit risk changes in such financial liabilities by the above methods will result in expansion of the accounting mismatch in the profit and loss, the Company shall recognize all gains or losses in such financial liabilities (including the amount subject to the credit risk changes of the Company) as the profit and loss of the current period. 2) Other financial liabilities Except for financial liabilities resulting from financial asset transfers not meeting the conditions for derecognition or the continuous involvement in the transferred financial asset, or financial guarantee contracts, other financial liabilities shall be classified into the financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, which shall be subsequently measured at amortized cost, and the gains or losses resulting from derecognition or amortization shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. (3) Recognition basis and measurement method of financial asset transfer Once one of the following conditions is met, the financial assets shall be derecognized: 1) The contract right to charge the cash flows of the financial assets is terminated; 2) the financial assets have been transferred, and almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets are transferred to the transferee; 3) the financial assets have been transferred, and the Company has given up the control over the financial assets although it does not transfer or retain almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets. If the Company has neither transferred nor retained almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets, and the Company does not waive its control of the financial assets, it shall recognize the relevant financial assets within the extent of its continuous involvement in the transferred financial assets and recognize the relevant liabilities. The continuous involvement in the transferred financial assets refers to the level of risk 175 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report with which the Company is faced due to changes in the financial asset values. When overall transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognization, the book value of the transferred financial assets and the difference between the consideration received due to transfer and the accumulative changes in fair value that is originally recognized as other comprehensive income shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. When partial transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognization, the book value of the transferred financial assets shall be apportioned to the fair value between the derecognized part and the recognized part, and the consideration received due to transfer and the difference between the accumulative changes in fair value that is originally recognized as other comprehensive income, which shall be apportioned to the derecognized part, and the apportioned book value as mentioned above shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. When the Company sells financial assets with additional recourse or transfers the endorsed financial assets held, it shall check whether almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets are transferred. If the Company has transferred almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets to the transferee, it shall derecognize the financial assets; if the Company retains almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets, it shall not derecognize the financial assets; if the Company neither transfers nor retains almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets, it shall judge whether it has retained control over the assets and conduct accounting processing following the principles described in previous paragraphs. (4) Derecognition of financial liabilities If current obligations of the financial liabilities (or some of the liabilities) have been released, the Company shall derecognize the financial liabilities (or some of the liabilities). Where the Company (borrower) and a lender sign an agreement to replace the existing financial liability by way of assumption of new financial liability with the terms of the new financial liability substantially different from those of the existing financial liability, it derecognizes the existing financial liability while recognizing the new financial liability. If the contract terms of the existing financial liability are materially changed in whole (or in part), the existing financial liability will be derecognized, and the financial liability after changes of terms will be recognized as a new financial liability. If a financial liability is derecognized in whole (or in part), the difference between the book value of the derecognized portion and the consideration paid (including the non-cash assets transferred out or the new financial liability assumed) is recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. (5) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities When the Company has the statutory right to offset the recognized amount of financial assets and financial liabilities, and this statutory right is currently enforceable, and the Company plans to net the financial assets or simultaneously realize the financial assets and pay off the financial liabilities, the financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the balance sheet at the net amount after offsetting each other. Otherwise, financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet and are not offset against each other. (6) Methods for determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. If there are active markets for a financial instrument, the Company establishes its fair value by using quotes in the active markets. Quotes in active markets refer to prices that are readily available on a regular basis from exchanges, brokers, trade associations, pricing service institutions, etc., and represent the prices of market transactions that actually occur in a fair trade. If there is no active market, the Company establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include reference to price used in recent market transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties, reference to 176 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report the current fair value of other financial instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, etc. During valuation, the Company adopts the valuation techniques that are applicable under current circumstances and supported by sufficient available data and other information, selects the input values that are consistent with the characteristics of the assets or liabilities considered by the market participants in the transaction of the relevant assets or liabilities, and preferentially uses the relevant observable inputs. Unobservable input values are used where the relevant observable input values are not available or are not practicable. (7) Equity instruments An equity instrument refers to a contract that can prove the Company owns the remaining equity in the assets after deducting all liabilities. The Company’s issuance (including refinancing), repurchase, sales or cancellation of equity instruments are treated as changes in equities, and transaction costs related to equity transactions are deducted from equities. The Company does not recognize changes in the fair value of equity instruments. The distribution of dividends by equity instruments (including “interests” generated by instruments that are classified as equity instruments) during their period existence shall be treated as profit distribution. (8) Impairment of financial assets The financial assets for which the Company needs to recognize impairment losses are financial assets measured at amortized cost, debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and lease receivables, mainly including notes receivable, accounts receivable, and other receivables. In addition, for some financial guarantee contracts, impairment reserves are set aside and credit impairment losses are recognized as per the accounting policies described in this section. 1) Methods for recognizing impairment reserves Based on the expected credit loss, the Company sets aside provisions for impairment of the above items by methods (general method or simplified method) for measuring expected credit loss applicable to them and recognizes credit impairment loss. Credit loss refers to the difference between all contract cash flow receivables discounted at the original effective interest rate under the contract and all expected cash flow receivables, i.e., the present value of all cash shortages. Specifically, for financial assets that have been credit-impaired at the time of purchase or origin, the Company discounts the financial assets at the credit-adjusted actual interest rate. The general method for measuring expected credit loss means that the Company assesses on each balance sheet date whether the credit risk of financial assets has increased significantly since the initial recognition. If yes, the Company measures loss reserves at an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss in the entire duration; if not, the Company measures loss reserves at an amount equivalent to the expected credit loss in the next 12 months. The Company considers all reasonable and evidence-based information, including forward-looking information, when assessing expected credit loss; As for financial instruments with low credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Company measures the loss reserves according to the expected credit loss in the future 12 months, assuming that its credit risk has had no significant increase since its initial recognition. The Company chooses to measure loss reserves according to the expected credit loss in the next 12 months or in the entire duration based on whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. 2) Standards for judging whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition If the probability of default (PD) of a financial asset in the expected duration recognized on the balance sheet date is significantly higher than that in the expected duration recognized at the time of initial recognition, the credit risk of the financial asset has increased significantly. Except for special circumstances, the Company determines whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition by reasonably assessing the changes in the 177 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report PD in the entire duration with the changes in the coming 12 months. 3) Portfolio method for assessing expected credit risk based on portfolios The Company assesses individual credit risk of financial assets with significantly different credit risks. Examples include the following: receivables from related parties; receivables that have disputes with counterparties or those involved in litigation or arbitration; there are obvious signs that the debtor is very unlikely to fulfill the repayment obligation. In addition to financial assets whose individual credit risk is assessed, the Company divides financial assets into different groups based on common risk characteristics, and assesses credit risk on a portfolio basis. 4) Accounting treatment methods for impairment of financial assets At the end of the reporting period, the Company calculates the expected credit loss of financial assets. If the expected credit loss is greater than the book value of its current impairment provisions, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss; if it is less than the current book value of the impairment provisions, the difference is recognized as impairment gains. 5) Methods for recognizing credit losses of financial assets a. Notes receivable The Company measures loss reserves for notes receivable at an amount equivalent to expected credit loss in the entire duration. The Company divides notes receivable into different portfolios based on their credit risk characteristics: Item Basis for determining the portfolio Banker’s Acceptors are banks with low credit risks. acceptance Trade acceptance The aging of trade acceptance is used as credit risk characteristics. b. Accounts receivable The Company measures loss reserves for accounts receivable without major financing component at an amount equivalent to expected credit loss in the entire duration. The Company measures loss reserves for accounts receivable and lease receivables with major financing component at an amount equivalent to expected credit loss in the duration. Except for accounts receivable whose individual credit risk is assessed, the Company divides accounts receivable into different portfolios based on their credit risk characteristics: Item Basis for determining the portfolio Aging portfolio This portfolio uses aging of accounts receivable as credit risk characteristics. Related party This portfolio comprises amounts of related parties within the consolidated portfolio scope. c. Other receivables The Company adopts the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss in the coming 12 months or in the entire duration to measure impairment losses based on whether the credit risk of other receivables has increased significantly since initial recognition. Except for other receivables whose individual credit risk is assessed, the Company divides other receivables into different portfolios based on their credit risk characteristics: Item Basis for determining the portfolio Aging portfolio This portfolio uses aging of other receivables as credit risk characteristics. Portfolio based on This portfolio comprises amounts of related parties within the consolidated related parties scope. 178 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report 11.

Inventories (1) Classification of inventories Inventories mainly include raw materials, goods in process, materials for consigned processing, commodity stocks, packages, and low-value consumables. (2) Pricing methods for inventory acquisition and delivery Inventories are priced at actual cost when they are acquired. Inventory costs include procurement costs, processing cost, and other costs. Inventories are priced by the weighted average method during receipt and delivery. (3) Methods for recognition of the net realizable value of inventories and the provisions for impairment of inventories The net realizable value refers to the amount of the estimated selling price of the inventory minus the estimated cost, estimated selling expenses, and related taxes and fees at the time of completion in daily activities. When recognizing the net realizable value of inventories based on the substantial evidence obtained, the Company also considers the purpose of holding the inventories and the impact on matters after the balance sheet date. On the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of costs and the net realizable value. When the net realizable value is lower than costs, the Company sets aside provisions for inventory impairment. Provisions for inventory impairment are set aside based on the difference between the cost of individual inventory item and its net realizable value. For inventories with a large quantity but a low unit value, provisions for inventory impairment are set aside according to inventory category. After provisions for the inventory impairment are set aside, if the influencing factors in previous write-down of the inventory value disappear, causing the net realizable value of the inventory to be higher than its book value, it shall be reversed within the amount of the provisions for inventory impairment that have been set aside and recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. (4) The perpetual inventory system is adopted for the inventories. (5) Amortization method for low-value consumables and packages The one-time amortization method is adopted for low-value consumables and packages upon receipt. 179 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report 16. Contract assets The Company recognizes the contract amounts where the customer has not paid the consideration but the Company has fulfilled its contractual obligation while the claim to the amount from the customer is not unconditional (i.e. Only dependent on the passage of time) as contract assets in the balance sheet. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis; contract assets and contract liabilities under different contracts are not offset. 17. Contract costs If the incremental cost incurred by the Company for obtaining a contract is expected to be recovered, the cost of obtaining the contract is recognized as an asset. However, if the amortization period of the asset does not exceed one year, it is included into the profit and loss of the period as it occurs. If the contract cost does not fall within other enterprise accounting standards than the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 -- Revenue and meet the following conditions at the same time, it is considered as contract performance cost and recognized as asset: 1) the cost is directly related to an existing or expected contract including direct labor, direct material or manufacturing overhead (or similar expenses), or the cost has been expressly defined as borne by the customer, or the cost is incurred solely as a result of the contract; 2) the cost increases the Company’s future resources to perform contractual obligations; and 3) the cost is expected to be recovered. Contract cost-related assets are amortized on the same basis of goods revenue recognition relating to the asset and included in the profit and loss of the current period. 18. Assets held for sale The Company classifies non-current assets or a disposal group as held for sale (including exchange of non-monetary assets with commercial substance, the same below) if their book values are recovered principally through disposal rather than through continuing use. Specifically, the following conditions shall be met simultaneously: A certain non-current asset or disposal group can be sold immediately under the current conditions according to the practice of selling such assets or disposal groups in similar transactions; the Company has made a resolution of an offer and obtained the purchase commitment; the sale is expected to be completed within one year. Among them, the disposal group refers to a group of assets that are disposed of as a whole through sale or other means in a transaction, and the liabilities directly related to these assets that are transferred in the transaction. If the asset group or the combination of asset groups to which the goodwill (obtained from business combination) has been allocated in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 -- Impairment of Assets, the disposal group shall include the goodwill allocated to it. During initial measurement or re-measurement of the non-current assets and disposal groups classified into held-for-sale assets on the balance sheet date, if the book value of such assets is higher than the net value deducting the cost of offer, the book value is written down to the recoverable amount by the Company, the written-down amount is recognized as profit and loss of the current period and impairment provisions are set aside at the same time. For the disposal group, the recognized asset impairment loss is first deducted from the book value of the goodwill in the disposal group, and then deducted in proportion from the book value of non-current assets specified in the applicable Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 42 - Non-Current Assets and Disposal Groups Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (hereinafter referred to as the "Standards for Assets Held for Sale"). If the fair value of the disposal group held for sale on the subsequent balance sheet date increases 180 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report after deducting the selling expenses, the previously written down amount shall be restored, and reversed within the amount of the asset impairment losses recognized for non-current assets as per the Standards for Assets Held for Sale applicable after the assets are classified into those held for sale, and the reversed amount shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. Besides, the book value of the reversed amount shall be increased in proportion according to the proportion of the book value of the non-current assets specified in the Standards for Assets Held for Sale applicable to those except for the goodwill in the disposal group. The book value of the goodwill that has been deducted, and the asset impairment losses recognized before the non-current assets are classified into assets held for sale as per the Standards for Assets Held for Sale shall not be reversed. Non-current assets held for sale and non-current assets in the disposal group are not subject to depreciation or amortization. Interest and other expenses on liabilities in the disposal group held for sale continue to be recognized. When the non-current assets or disposal group no longer meets the conditions for classification into the assets held for sale, the Company no longer classifies them into the category or removes the non-current assets from the disposal group held for sale, and measures them at the lower of the following two: (1) in terms of the book value before classification into assets held for sale, for which the measurement standard is the amount after adjustment according to the depreciation, amortization, or impairment that should have been recognized under the assumption that they are not classified into assets held for sale; and (2) the recoverable amount. 19. Investments in creditor’s rights None 20. Other investments in creditor’s rights None 21. Long-term receivables None 22. Long-term equity investments The long-term equity investments herein refer to the long-term equity investments in which the Company has control, joint control, or significant influence on the investee. Long-term equity investments where the Company has no control, joint control, or significant influence on the investee are accounted as financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period. Among them, for those that are non-tradable, the Company may choose to designate them as the financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for accounting during initial recognition. See "Note V (10)" for their detailed accounting policies. Joint control refers to the common control over a particular arrangement according to relevant agreement, and that the decisions on relevant activities under such arrangement are subject to the unanimous consent from the parties sharing the joint control. Significant influence means having the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decision-making of the investee, but cannot control or, together with other parties, jointly control the formulation of these policies. (1) Determination of investment cost For long-term equity investments obtained from combination of enterprises under common control, the share of 181 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report the combined party’s owner’s equity in the book value of the consolidated financial statements of the final controlling party which is acquired on the combination date shall be regarded as the initial investment cost for long-term equity investments. The capital reserves shall be adjusted if there is difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment and the cash paid, the transferred non-cash assets, and the book value of the debts assumed; if the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. If the equity securities issued are used as the combination consideration, the share of the combined party’s owner’s equity in the book value of the consolidated financial statements of the final controlling party which is acquired on the combination date shall be regarded as the initial investment cost for long-term equity investments; the total book value of the shares issued shall be the share capital; the capital reserves shall be adjusted if there is difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments and the total book value of the shares issued; if the capital reserves are insufficient to balance the difference, retained earnings shall be adjusted. For long-term equity investments obtained from combination of enterprises under different control, the combination costs on the acquisition date shall be used as the initial investment costs of the long-term equity investment; the combination costs include the sum of the assets paid by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred or assumed, and the fair value of the equity securities issued. Intermediary expenses such as auditing, legal services, assessment and consulting and other related management expenses incurred by the combining party or acquirer for the business combination shall be recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. Other equity investments except for long-term equity investments formed via business combination are initially measured at cost. Subject to the way the long-term equity investments are obtained, the costs shall be recognized based on the cash actually paid by the Company for acquisition, the fair value of the equity securities issued by the Company, the value agreed in the investment contract or agreement, the fair value or original book value of the assets swapped out in a non-monetary asset exchange transaction, and the fair value of the long-term equity investment itself. Expenses, taxes, and other necessary expenditures directly related to acquisition of long-term equity investments are also recognized as investment costs. (2) Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit and loss If the Company has common control or significant influence over the investee (except for constituting co-proprietors), the long-term equity investment shall be accounted for by using the equity method. Additionally, the Company’s financial statements apply the cost method for long-term equity investments that can make control in the investee 1) Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method When the cost method is used, the long-term equity investments are calculated according to the initial investment cost. In the event that the investment is added or recovered, the cost of the long-term equity investments shall be adjusted. With the exception of the price actually paid at the acquisition of investment or cash dividends or profits included in consideration, declared but not issued yet, the return on investment of the current period shall be recognized according to the cash dividends or profits declared to be issued by the investee. 2) Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method When using equity method, if the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments is greater than the fair value share of the identifiable net assets entitled of the investee at the time of investment, the initial investment of the long-term equity investments shall not be adjusted. If the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments is lower than the fair value share of the identifiable net assets entitled of the investee at the time of investment, the difference shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period and the cost of the long-term equity investments shall be adjusted at the same time. When the equity method is used, return on investment and other comprehensive income shall be respectively 182 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report determined based on the share of net profit or loss and other comprehensive income realized by the investee that shall be attributable or assumed, and the book value of long-term equity investments shall be adjusted at the same time. Attributable share shall be calculated based on the profit or cash dividends declared by the investee and the book value of long-term equity investments shall be accordingly decreased. In respect to other changes of owner’s equity of the investee in addition to net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, the book value of long-term equity investments shall be adjusted and recognized as capital surplus. When confirming the share of the investee’s net profit and loss, the Company shall confirm the investee’s net profit after adjustment based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee at the acquisition of the investment. Where the accounting policy and accounting period adopted by the investee differs from those of the Company, the investee’s financial statements shall be adjusted according to the Company’s accounting policy and accounting period, and the return on investment and other comprehensive income shall be recognized accordingly. Where the transactions are between the Company and the associates and joint ventures, and the assets that are invested or sold do not constitute business, unrealized internal transaction profits and losses incurred between the Company and the associates and joint ventures shall be offset with the part attributable to the Company which is calculated on a due pro-rata basis, and the return on investment shall be recognized on this basis. However, unrealized internal transaction losses incurred between the Company and the investees shall not be offset if they fall under the impairment losses on assets transferred. When confirming the limit of net loss incurred by the investee, the limit is the extent that the book value of the long-term equity investments and other long-term equity that substantially constitutes a net investment in the investment target is written down to zero. Additionally, if the Company has obligations to assume additional losses of the investee, provisions are recognized according to the expected obligation, and recognized as investment losses for the period. Where the investee records net profit in the future, the Company resumes and recognizes the profit-sharing amount after such amount makes up the unrecognized loss-sharing amount. 23. Investment property Measurement model for investment property Measurement by the cost method Depreciation or amortization method Investment properties are real estate held to generate rental income or earn capital gains or both. Investment properties include land use rights leased out, land use rights held for transfer after appreciation, buildings leased out, etc. Investment property is initially measured at cost. Subsequent costs are included in the investment property’s cost only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Other subsequent costs are recognized as profit and loss of the current period when incurred. The Company adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment property, and depreciates or amortizes it according to policies consistent with those for buildings or land use rights. Impairment test method and impairment provision method for investment property are detailed in "Note V (31) Long-term asset impairment". Investment properties are derecognized when they are disposed of or permanently withdrawn from use and it is expected that no economic benefit can be generated from its disposal. The income from selling, transferring, writing off or destroying investment property, less its book value and relevant taxes and fees, is recognized as profit and loss of the current period. 183 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report 24. Fixed assets (1) Recognition conditions Fixed assets are tangible assets with a useful life of more than one accounting year that are held for production or supply of goods or labor services, for rental to third parties, or for use in the organizations. Fixed assets shall only be recognized when relevant economic interest may flow into the Company and costs thereof can be reliably measured. Fixed assets shall be initially measured at cost and by taking into account the impact of estimated disposal expense. (2) Depreciation method Category Depreciation method Depreciation life Residual value rate Annual depreciation rate 3.00%, 3.17% to 9.00%, Properties and buildings Straight-line depreciation 10 to 30 years 5%. 10% 9.50% 4.50%, 4.75% to 45.00%, Equipment Straight-line depreciation 2 to 20 years 5%. 10% 47.50% 6.43%, 6.79% to 18.00%, Motor vehicles Straight-line depreciation 5 to 14 years 5%. 10% 19.00% 11.25%, 11.88% to Office equipment Straight-line depreciation 3 to 8 years 5%. 10% 30.00%, 31.67% 18.00%, 19.00% to Production equipment Straight-line depreciation 2 to 5 years 5%. 10% 45.00%, 47.50% Estimated residual value refers to the current amount where, supposed the service life of a fixed asset has expired and it is in the expected status of such expiration, the Company obtains from the disposal of such asset after the estimated disposal expense is deducted. (3) Determination basis, pricing method and depreciation method of fixed assets acquired under finance leases: Not applicable 25. Construction work in process Construction work in progress is measured at actual project expenditure, comprising project expenditure incurred during construction and other necessary cost incurred. The Company’s Construction work in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use. If the fixed assets under construction have reached the expected usable status but have not yet completed the final account for completed project, they shall be recognized as fixed assets according to the estimated value, and accrue depreciation. After the completion of the final account for completed project, the original estimated value is adjusted according to the actual cost, but the original accrued depreciation amount is not adjusted. Impairment test method and impairment provision method for Construction work in progress are detailed in "Note V (31) Long-term asset impairment". 184 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report 26. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs include interest on borrowings, amortizations of discounts or premiums, incidental expenses, exchange difference resulting from foreign-currency borrowings, etc. The borrowing costs that can be directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset eligible for capitalization shall be capitalized if the capital expenditures have been incurred, the borrowing costs have been incurred, or the necessary purchase, construction or production activities to make the asset reach the expected available or marketable state have begun. When the assets with the purchase, construction or production meeting the capitalization conditions reach the expected available or marketable state, they cease to be capitalized. Any other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period when they are incurred. The amount of interest that shall be capitalized is determined based on the interest expenses incurred in the period when a specifically borrowed fund is obtained less any income earned on the unused borrowing fund as a deposit in a bank or as a temporary investment. Where funds are borrowed for a general purpose, the amount of interest that shall be capitalized is determined by multiplying the part of the accumulative asset disbursements in excess of the weighted average asset disbursement for the specifically borrowed fund by the capitalization rate of the general borrowing used. The capitalization rate is the weighted average interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings. During the capitalization, all exchange differences arising from earmarked foreign-currency borrowings shall be capitalized; exchange differences arising from general-purpose foreign-currency borrowings shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period. Assets eligible for capitalization refer to assets such as fixed assets, investment real estates and inventories that can reach the expected available or marketable status after a long period of purchase, construction or production activities. If the acquisition, construction or production of an asset eligible for capitalization is continuously suspended for over three months for abnormal reasons, capitalization of the borrowing costs shall be suspended, until the acquisition, construction or production of the asset is resumed. 27. Biological assets None 28. Oil & gas assets None 29. Right-of-use assets Impairment test method and impairment provision method for right-of-use assets are detailed in "Note V (42) Leases". 30. Intangible assets (1) Pricing method, service life, and impairment test Intangible assets refer to identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance owned or controlled by the 185 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report Company. Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Costs of intangible assets are included in intangible assets’ book value, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Other costs of intangible assets are recognized as profit and loss of the current period when incurred. Land use rights acquired are generally accounted for as intangible assets. With respect to self-built buildings including plants, the relevant land use right expenses and buildings’ construction costs are accounted for as intangible assets and fixed assets, respectively. For purchased houses and buildings, the price paid is distributed between the land use right and the building. If it is difficult to distribute, it shall all be included in fixed assets. From the beginning of use of intangible assets with finite service life, the accumulated amount of the original value less estimated net residual value and the provisions for asset impairment set aside shall be amortized evenly in stages by straight-line method over their service life. Intangible assets with uncertain service lives are not amortized. The Company reviews the service life and amortization method of intangible asset with finite service life at the end of the reporting period, and a change therein (if any) shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimates. Additionally, the Company reviews the service life and amortization method of intangible asset with uncertain service life. If there is evidence that the period when it brings economic benefits to the enterprise is foreseeable, its service life shall be estimated and it is amortized according to the amortization policy for intangible assets with finite service life. (2) Accounting policy for expenditure on internal research and development The Company classifies the expenditure on an internal research and development project into expenditure on the research phase and expenditure on the development phase. Expenditure on the research phase is recognized as profit and loss of the current period when incurred. Expenditure on the development phase is recognized as intangible asset when all the following criteria are met, while expenditure in the development phase that does not meet the following criteria is recognized as profit and loss of the current period when incurred: 1) technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; 2) the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; 3) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things, the Company can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset; 4) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; 5) the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development. Where the expenditure on research and development incurred cannot be classified into the expenditure on research phase or the expenditure on development phase, it shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period when incurred. 31. Long-term asset impairment The Company determines on the balance sheet date whether there is any indication that the non-current and non-financial assets may have been impaired, including fixed assets, construction work in progress, intangible 186 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report assets with limited service life, and investment properties measured using the cost model, and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. If there is any indication that the asset is likely to be impaired, the Company will estimate the recoverable amount and carry out the impairment test. Impairment tests shall be conducted each year for goodwill and intangible assets with uncertain service life and not yet in use, whether or not there is any indication of impairment. If an impairment test shows that the recoverable amount of an asset is lower than its book value, the difference is recognized as a provision for impairment and recognized as the impairment loss. The recoverable amount is determined based on the higher of the net amount of the fair value of the asset minus the disposal expenses and the present value of the expected future cash flow of the asset. The fair value of asset is determined according to the price of the sales agreement in fair trade. If there is no sales agreement but an active market for the asset, the fair value is determined according to the price offered by the buyer for the asset. If there is neither sales agreement nor active market for the asset, the fair value of the asset shall be estimated based on the best information available. The disposal costs include legal fees, relevant taxes and fees, as well as handling fees related to the disposal of asset, and the direct costs incurred to ensure the asset reaches the marketable state. The present value of the expected future cash flow of an asset shall be determined by the discounted cash at an appropriate discount rate, on the basis of the expected future cash flow generated during the continuous use or final disposal of an asset. Provisions for asset impairment are calculated and recognized on an individual basis. If it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of individual assets, the Company will determine the recoverable amount of the asset group on the basis of the asset group to which the asset belongs. Asset group refers to the smallest asset portfolio which can independently generate cash inflows. When an impairment test is performed on the goodwill separately listed in the financial statement, book value of such goodwill is apportioned to the asset group or combination of asset groups that can benefit from the synergy effect of business combination. If the test result shows that the recoverable amount of the asset group or combination of asset groups is lower than their book value, corresponding impairment losses on goodwill will be recognized. The impairment loss shall first offset against the book value of goodwill that is apportioned to asset group or a combination of asset groups, and then offset against the book value of assets excluding goodwill in the asset group or the combination of asset groups on a pro-rata basis according to the proportion of their book value. Once the aforementioned asset impairment loss is recognized, it will not be reversed in subsequent accounting periods even if the value can be recovered. 32. Long-term unamortized expenses Long-term unamortized expenses are expenses which have been incurred but shall be amortized over a period longer than one year, including the reporting period and the future periods. Long-term unamortized expenses of the Company mainly include office building decoration costs, sewage use rights and electricity use rights. Long-term unamortized expenses shall be amortized based on the straight-line method over the expected benefit period. 33. Contract liabilities A contract liability is the Company’s obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. If the customer has paid contract consideration or the Company has obtained the unconditional right of collection before the Company transfer goods to the customer, the amount received or the receivable is recognized as contract liability at the earlier of the time when the customer actual 187 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report pays the amount and when the amount becomes due. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis; contract assets and contract liabilities under different contracts are not offset. 34. Employee remuneration (1) Accounting treatment method for short-term remuneration Short-term remuneration includes salaries, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, employee welfare, medical insurance fees, maternity insurance fees, employment injury insurance fees, housing provident funds, labor union fees, staff education funds, and non-monetary welfare. The Company shall, within the accounting period when its employees provide service, recognize actual short-term remuneration as liabilities which shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period or relevant asset costs. Wherein, non-monetary benefits are measured at fair value. (2) Accounting treatment method for post-employment benefits Post-employment benefit includes basic endowment insurance, unemployment insurance, etc. It also includes defined contribution plans. Where defined contribution plans are adopted, the corresponding amount payable shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period or relevant asset costs in which it is incurred. (3) Accounting treatment method for dismissal benefits If the Company terminates the labor relationship with an employee before the employee’s labor contract expires, or proposes to give the employee compensation for encouraging the employee to voluntarily accept dismissal, the liabilities arising from the compensation giving to the employee for the termination of the labor relationship with the employee shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period, when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the termination of the labor relationship plan or the dismissal proposal, or when it recognizes the costs related to the restructuring of the payment of the dismissal benefits, whichever is earlier. However, if it is expected that the dismissal benefits cannot be paid in full within twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period, they shall be accounted for according to other long-term employee remunerations. Internal retirement schemes for employees shall be accounted for following the same principles of the above dismissal benefits. Where the salaries and social insurance fees of early retirees to be paid by the Company from the date when employees stop providing services to the normal retirement date meet the recognition conditions for projected liabilities, they shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period. (4) Accounting treatment method for other long-term employee benefits Other long-term benefits provided by the Company to employees that meet the conditions of the defined contribution plan are accounted for in accordance with the defined contribution plan; other long-term benefits are accounted for in accordance with the defined benefit plan. 35. Lease liabilities Recognition and accounting treatment methods of lease liabilities are detailed in "Note V (42) Leases". 188 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report 36. Provision An obligation related to contingent issues and meeting the following conditions shall be deemed a provision: (1) such an obligation is a current one assumed by the Company; (2) fulfilling such an obligation might cause economic benefits to flow out of the Company; and (3) the amount of such an obligation is measurable reliably. On the balance sheet date, a provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation, with comprehensive consideration of factors such as the risks, uncertainty and time value of money relating to a contingency. A provision is separately recognized as an asset and the recognized compensation amount shall not exceed the book value of the provision, when all or part of the expenses required to pay off the provision are expected to be compensated by a third party and the amount of compensation is basically determined to be receivable. 37. Share-based payment Share-based payment is the transaction made through granting equity instruments or bearing the liabilities recognized based on such instruments in exchange for services rendered by employees or other parties. The Company’s share-based payment includes equity-settled share-based payment and cash-settled share-based payment. (1) Equity-settled share-based payment Where the share payment is settled through equity for acquisition of service from employees, it shall be measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted to the employees. If the right cannot be exercised until the vesting period ends or until the prescribed performance conditions are met, the amount of such fair value shall, based on the best estimate of the number of vested equity instruments, be recognized as the relevant costs or expenses by straight-line method; if the right can be exercised immediately following the grant, the amount of such fair value shall be recognized as the relevant costs or expenses on the grant date, and the capital reserve shall be increased accordingly. On each balance sheet date within the vesting period, the Company carries out the best estimation based on such follow-up information such as the variation of the number of vested staff acquired recently, and revises the number of estimated vested equity instruments. The impact of the above estimates shall be recognized as the relevant costs or expenses of the current period, and the capital reserve shall be adjusted accordingly. For an equity-settled share-based payment in return for the service of any other party, if the fair value of the service of any other party can be reliably measured, it shall be measured at the fair value of the service of any other party on the acquisition date; if the fair value of the service of any other party cannot be reliably measured, but the fair value of the equity instruments can be reliably measured, it shall be measured at the fair value of the equity instruments on the acquisition date and included in the relevant costs or expenses, and the shareholders’ equity shall be increased correspondingly. (2) Cash-settled share payment The cash-settled share-based payment shall be measured at the fair value of the Company’s liabilities determined based on shares or other equity instruments. If the right may be exercised immediately after the grant, relevant costs or expenses shall be recognized the grant date, and the liabilities shall be increased accordingly. If the right may not be exercised until the vesting period ends or until the specified performance conditions are met, on each balance sheet date within the vesting period, the services obtained in the current period shall, based on the best estimate of the information about the exercisable right, be recognized as the relevant costs or expenses at the fair value of the liability undertaken by the Company, and liabilities shall be increased accordingly. 189 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report The fair value of liabilities is re-measured and any change thereto is recognized as profit and loss of the current period on each balance sheet date and settlement date prior to settlement of the relevant liabilities. 38. Preference shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments None 39. Revenue Accounting policy for recognition and measurement of revenue Revenue is the total inflow of economic benefits unrelated to the capital invested by the shareholders which are formed in the daily activities of the Company and can lead to an increase in shareholders’ equity. The revenue is recognized when the customers take control of the relevant goods (including services, same for below) if the contract between the Company and the customers meet all the following conditions: 1) the parties to the contract have approved such contract and undertake to perform their respective obligations; 2) the contract has specified the rights and obligations of the parties thereto and in connection with the transfer of goods or provision of labor services; 3) the contract sets out clear payment terms related to the transfer of goods; 4) the contract has commercial substance, meaning that the performance thereof will change the risk, time distribution or amount of the Company’s future cash flow; 5) the Company is very likely to recover the consideration obtained by transferring goods to customers. Wherein, taking control of relevant goods means being able to control the use of the goods and obtain almost all economic benefits therefrom. On the enforcing date of the contract, the Company identifies all individual performance obligations in the contract, and apportions the transaction price to each individual performance obligation according to the relative proportion of the individual selling price of the goods. When determining the transaction price, the Company has considered the impact of such factors including variable consideration, major financing component of the contract, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer. With respect to each individual performance obligation of the contract, the Company will recognize the transaction price apportioned to such obligation as revenue based on the progress of performance during the relevant performance periods, if any of the following conditions is met: 1) the customer obtains and consumes the economic benefits brought by the Company’s performance during such performance; 2) the customer can control the goods in progress during the Company’s performance; 3) the goods produced from the Company’s performance has irreplaceable use, and in respect of the portion of revenue arising from the Company’s performance completed to date, the Company is entitled to collect revenue during the entire validity period of the contract. The progress of performance is determined according to the nature of the transferred goods using the input or output method. When such progress cannot be reasonably determined, if the costs incurred are expected to be compensated, the Company recognizes revenue based on the amount of costs incurred, until the progress of performance can be reasonably determined. If none of the aforesaid conditions is met, the Company will recognize the transaction price apportioned to such individual performance obligation when the customer obtains the control over relevant goods. To decide whether the customer has obtained the control over goods, the Company takes into account the following indications: 1) the enterprise has the present right to collection for the goods, meaning the customer bears the present obligation to payment for the goods; 2) the enterprise has passed the legal title to the goods to the customer, meaning the customer has had the legal title to the goods; 3) the enterprise has transferred the physical possession of the goods to the customer, meaning the customer has had the physical possession of the goods; 4) the enterprise has 190 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report transferred the major risks and remunerations concerning the title to the goods to the customer, meaning the customer has obtained the major risks and remunerations concerning the title to the goods; 5) the customer has accepted the goods; 6) other indications to show that the customer has obtained the control over the goods. Generally, the Company’s business of goods selling only comprises the performance obligation of transferring the goods. The control of the goods is transferred when they are sent out and the Company receives the signed receipt and other documents from the customer, so the Company confirms the realization of revenue at that point in time. The discounts, rewards and other arrangements in some contracts between the Company and customers constitute variable consideration. The Company uses the expected value method or the most likely amount to determine the best estimates for variable consideration, but the transaction price containing variable consideration shall not exceed the amount of cumulatively recognized revenue that is unlikely to have major reversals when the relevant uncertainties are eliminated. Different business models are adopted for different businesses, which may lead to the differences in the accounting policy for recognition of revenue. None 40. Government grants Government grants are monetary or non-monetary assets acquired by the Company from the government free of charge, excluding the capital invested by the government as an investor and granted corresponding owner’s equity. Government grants are classified into government grants related to assets and government grants related to income. The Company defines the government grants for purchasing or constructing or otherwise forming long-term assets as asset-related government grants; other government grants are defined as the income-related government grants. Government grants shall be measured at the amount received or receivable if they are monetary assets. Non-monetary government grants shall be measured at fair value; if the fair value cannot be reliably obtained, they shall be measured at the nominal amount. The government grants measured at the nominal amount shall be directly recognized as the profit and loss of the current period. Asset-related government grants are recognized as deferred income, and included in the profit and loss of the current period in stages according to a reasonable and systematic method over the service life of the relevant assets. The income-related government grants shall be recognized as deferred income if they are used to compensate relevant expenses or losses in subsequent periods, and shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period during the recognition of related expenses; the grants used to compensate related expenses or losses already incurred shall be directly recognized as profit and loss of the current period. The government grants related to both assets and income shall be accounted for by distinguishing different parts; if it is difficult to distinguish, they shall be, as a whole, classified as income-related government grants. Government grants related to the Company’s daily activities shall be recognized as other profit and loss or write down relevant costs according to the essence of economic business; those unrelated to the Company’s daily activities shall be recognized as non-operating income and expenditure. If the recognized government grants need to be returned and there is relevant deferred income balance, the book balance of relevant deferred income shall be written off, and the excess shall be recognized as profit and loss of the current period; otherwise, government grants shall be directly recognized as profit and loss of the current period. 191 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report 41. Deferred income tax assets/deferred income tax liabilities (1) Current income tax On the balance sheet date, the Company measures a current tax liability (or asset) arising from the current and prior periods based on the amount of income tax expected to be paid by the Company (or returned by tax authority) calculated by related tax laws. The taxable income which is the basis for calculation of the current income tax is calculated after appropriate adjustments to the pretax accounting profits for the reporting period. (2) Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities For the difference between the book value of certain assets and liabilities and their tax bases, and the temporary differences between the book values and the tax bases of items, of which the tax bases can be determined for tax purposes according to the tax laws but which have not been recognized as assets and liabilities, the Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities using the balance sheet debt method. Where the taxable temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of goodwill and the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from the transaction that is not a business combination, nor, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit and taxable profit (or deductible loss), the relevant deferred income tax liability shall not be recognized. Additionally, in respect of taxable temporary difference associated with investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, where the Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future, the relevant deferred income tax liability shall not be recognized. Other than the above exceptions, the Company shall recognize deferred income tax liabilities arising out from all other taxable temporary differences. Where the deductible temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from the transaction that is not a business combination, nor, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit and taxable profit (or deductible loss), the relevant deferred income tax liability shall not be recognized. Additionally, in respect of deductible temporary difference associated with investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, where it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future or taxable profit will not be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized in the future, the relevant deferred income tax liability shall not be recognized. Other than the above exceptions, the Company recognizes a deferred tax asset for other deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The tax effects of deductible losses and taxes available for carrying over are recognized as an asset when it is probable that future taxable profits would be available against which these losses can be utilized. At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, according to the requirements of tax laws. The book value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the balance sheet date and written down to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available in future periods to allow the deferred tax assets to be utilized. Such write-down is reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. (3) Income tax expenses Income taxes comprise current income tax and deferred income tax. The current income tax and deferred income tax expense or income is recognized as the profit and loss of the current period except that the current income tax and deferred income tax is related to transactions or events, which are recognized as other comprehensive income or directly recognized as shareholders’ equity, and thus 192 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report recognized as other comprehensive income or shareholders’ equity, and that the book value of goodwill is adjusted due to deferred income tax arising from business combination. 42. Leases A lease is a contract whereby the Company assigns or acquires the right to control the use of one or more identified assets for a specified period in exchange for or with payment of consideration. The Company evaluates whether a contract is a lease or contains a lease at its inception date. (1) The Company as the lessee Main types of assets leased by the Company are properties and buildings. i. Initial measurement Except for short-term leases or low-value asset leases, the Company recognizes the right to use the leased asset during the lease term as a right-of-use asset and recognizes the present value of unpaid lease payments as a lease liability. When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company adopts the interest rate implicit in the lease as the discount rate; if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount rate. ii. Follow-up measurement The Company depreciates the right-of-use assets with reference to relevant depreciation provisions specified in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 4 - Fixed Assets (see "Note IV ((15) Fixed Assets"). If it is reasonably ascertained that the ownership of the asset will be transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term, then depreciation period runs to the end of the useful life of the lease asset. If it cannot be reasonably ascertained that the ownership of the leased asset will be transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term, then depreciation period runs to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset or the end of the lease term. For lease liabilities, the Company calculates its interest expenses in each period of the lease term at a fixed periodic interest rate which is included in the profit and loss of the current period. Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are included in the current profit and loss when they are actually incurred After the commencement date of the lease term, when there is a change in the actual fixed payment amount, a change in the estimated payable amount of the guaranteed residual value, a change in the index or ratio used to determine the lease payment amount, or a change in the evaluation results or actual exercise of the purchase option, renewal option or termination option, the Company re-measures the lease liability according to the present value of the changed lease payments and adjusts the book value of the right-of-use asset accordingly. If the book value of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero but the lease liability still needs to be further reduced, the Company includes the remaining amount in the profit and loss of the current period. iii. Short-term leases and low-value asset leases For short-term leases (leases with a term of not more than 12 months since the lease commencement date) and low-value asset leases Lease liabilities, the Company adopts a simplified approach, i.e. Not recognizing as right-of-use assets but as the cost of the related asset or as profit and loss of the current period in accordance with the straight-line method or other systematically reasonable methods during each period of the lease. (2) The Company as the lessor On the lease commencement date, the company divides leases into finance leases and operating leases based on the substance of the transaction. Leases of assets where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred are classified as finance leases. Other leases than the finance leases are classified as operating 193 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report leases. i. Operating lease The Company adopts the straight-line method to recognize lease receipts from operating leases as rental income for each period of the lease term. Variable lease payments related to operating leases that are not included in lease receipts are included in the current profit and loss when they are actually incurred. ii. Finance lease The company recognizes the finance lease receivables and derecognizes the finance lease assets on the commencement date of the lease term. The financial lease receivables are initially measured by the net investment in the lease (the sum of the unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the lease receipts not yet received at the beginning of the lease term, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease), while interest income is calculated and recognized according to the fixed periodic interest rate in each period of the lease term. Variable lease payments obtained by the Company that are not included in the measurement of the net value of lease liabilities are included in the current profit and loss when they are actually incurred.

Significant changes of accounting policies and accounting estimates (1) Significant changes of accounting policies √ Applicable □ Not applicable Contents and reasons for changes to accounting policies Approval procedure Remarks On December 12, 2018, the Ministry of Finance issued the revised Accounting Standards for Business On May 21, 2021, the Company Enterprises No. 21 -- Leases (C.K.

[2018] No. 35) (hereinafter referred to as the “New Lease Standards”). As passed under a resolution at the 5th meeting of the fifth session of the Board of Directors on May 21, 2021, the Company started 194 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report to enforce the aforesaid New Lease Standards from January 1, 2021 and adjusted related accounting policies accordingly. Pursuant to the New Lease Standards, for contracts that already exist prior to the enforcement of the new standards, the Company chooses not to re-evaluate whether they are a lease or contain a lease. The Company only adjusts the cumulative impact number for lease contracts that have been yet been completed as of January 1, 2021. The amounts of retained earnings and other relevant items in the financial statements at the beginning of the period for the first time adoption of the new standards (i.e. January 1, 2021) are adjusted based on the accumulative impact amount at the first time adoption, while comparative financial information for the previous accounting periods is not adjusted. The Company’s specific processing and its impact on the date of fist-time adoption of the new standards (i.e. January 1, 2021) are as follows: A. The Company as the lessee: For finance leases on the adoption date of the new standards, if the Company is the lessee, it measures the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities according to the original book value of the financial leased assets and the financial lease payables. For operating leases on the adoption date of the new standards, the Company, as the lessee, measures lease liabilities according to the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate on the adoption date of the new standards; the unpaid rent accrued on an accrual basis under the original lease standards is included in the remaining lease payments. For operating leases prior to the adoption date of the new standards, the Company measures the right-of-use asset based on the amount equal to the lease liability and makes necessary adjustments based on prepaid rents. The Company conducts an impairment test on the right-of-use assets on the adoption date and adjusts the book value of the right-of-use assets. For operating leases where the leased assets belong to low-value assets prior to the adoption date, the Company does not recognize as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities For operating leases other than low-value asset leases at the adoption date, the Company applies one or more of the following simplified treatments for each lease: Leases to be completed within 12 months of the adoption date are treated as short-term leases; When measuring lease liabilities, the same discount rate is used for leases with similar characteristics; The measurement of the right-of-use assets excludes initial direct costs; If there is an option to renew or terminate the lease, the Company determines the lease term based on the actual exercise of the option before the adoption date and other latest conditions; If there is a lease change before the adoption date, the company will carry out accounting treatment according to the final arrangement of the lease change. B. Main changes and impacts of the implementation of the New Lease Standards The houses and buildings leased by the company were originally treated as operating leases. According to the new standards, on January 1, 2021, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of RMB 12,852,715.53, lease liabilities of RMB 8,089,819.67, and non-current liabilities due within one year of RMB 4,762,895.86.

The Company believed that the immovable assets of the old factory of Hubei C&S (including land use rights) could be sold immediately in the current situation, according to similar transactions where such assets were sold. The Company signed a binding purchase agreement with Xiaogan Changxing Investment Co., Ltd. and Xiaonan District People’s Government of Xiaogan City regarding the transfer of such assets in December 2019.

Risks Associated with Financial Instruments The main financial instruments of the Company include monetary funds, notes receivable, accounts receivable, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, loans, etc. Please refer to relevant items of "Note VII" for detailed information of all financial instruments. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the risk management policies adopted by the Company to reduce these risks are as follows. The management of the Company manages and monitors these risk exposures to ensure that the above risks are kept within control. The Company adopts the sensitivity analysis method to analyze the possible impact of reasonable and possible changes in risk variables on the profit and loss or shareholder equities in the current period. Since any risk variable rarely changes in isolation and the correlation between the variables will have a significant effect on the ultimate financial impact of changes in a certain risk variable, the following contents are under the consumption that changes of a variable are independent. The goal of the Company’s risk management is to strike a proper balance between risks and gains and to minimize the negative impact of risks on the business performance of the Company while maximizing the interests of shareholders and other equity investors. Based on this risk management goal, the basic strategy of the Company’s risk management is to determine and analyze all kinds of risks faced by the Company, clarify the minimum of risk acceptance and conduct risk management, and monitor risks of all kinds in a timely and reliable manner to control risks within the limits. 1. Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk of financial losses of one party caused by the failure of the other party to perform its obligations. As of December 31, 2021, the largest credit exposure that may cause financial losses to the Company mainly comes from the losses of the Company’s financial assets due to failure of the other contractual party to perform its obligations. In order to reduce credit risk, the Company only conducts transactions with recognized customers with good credit status, and continuously monitors the accounts receivable through credit monitoring of existing customers and aging analysis to ensure that the Company does not face the risk of bad debts and keep the overall credit risk within control. Liquid funds of the Company are deposited in banks with high credit ratings, so the credit risk of liquid funds is low. 2. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flow of financial instruments due to changes in market interest rates. The interest rate risk faced by the Company mainly comes from bank borrowings. By developing a good relationship with banks and carrying out proper design of credit lines, types of credits, and credit terms, the Company ensures sufficient bank credit lines to meet its various financing needs. The risk of interest rate fluctuation can be reasonably reduced by shortening the term of a single loan and specially stipulating early prepayment terms. 3. Foreign exchange risk Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flow of financial instruments due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company tries its best to match foreign currency income with foreign currency expenditure to reduce foreign exchange risks. Foreign exchange risks borne by the Company are mainly related to USD and HKD. Except for purchasing and selling in USD and HKD by its overseas subsidiaries, other major business activities of the Company are priced 273 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report and settled in RMB. See "Note VII (82)" for the conversion of foreign currency financial assets and liabilities into RMB as of December 31, 2021. During the reporting period, the Company generated exchange profit and loss of -RMB3,248,733.35. Sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange risk: Analysis assumption: On the basis that all other variables remain constant on the balance sheet date, the possible, reasonable changes of foreign exchange rate will have the following pre-tax effects on the Company’s profit and loss and shareholders’ equity in the current period: Item End of year Impact on profit Impact on shareholders’ equity Appreciation of RMB against foreign currency by 1.00% -855,576.55 -855,576.55 Depreciation of RMB against foreign currency by 1.00% 855,576.55 855,576.55 4. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk refers to the risk of capital shortage when an enterprise fulfills its obligation to settle accounts by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to repay mature debts. Liquidity risk is centrally controlled by the financial departments of the Company. The financial departments monitor cash balances, negotiable securities that can be cashed in at any time, and carry out rolling forecasts on cash flows in the next six months to ensure that the Company has sufficient funds to repay debts under all reasonable forecasts. Financial liabilities held by the Company as of December 31, 2021 analyzed based on the maturity period of undiscounted remaining contractual obligations are as follows: Item Within 1 year Over 1 year Total Notes payable 334,969,632.58 334,969,632.58 Accounts payable 825,831,744.94 3,282,035.37 829,113,780.31 Other payables 845,094,973.44 9,777,205.34 854,872,178.78 Non-current liabilities 8,616,487.38 8,616,487.38 due within one year Lease liabilities 5,565,928.14 5,565,928.14 Total 2,005,896,350.96 13,059,240.71 2,018,955,591.67 274 C&S Paper Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report XI.
