2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited 2022 Annual Report DR Corporation Limited April 2023 1 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited Message to Shareholders To the respectable shareholders of DRCO: Insisting on the corporate value of customer orientation since foundation, DR Corporation Limited (DRCO) has reaped some achievements through continuous product innovation and service improvement. By the end of 2022, we totally served over 1.5 million couples, which is an achievement. But we all understand that behind success lies countless challenges an d obstacles. In the stuttering year of 2022, much fiercer market competitiveness and changing industrial landscape posed new challenges to DRCO. Although of performance decline for the first time just after our initial listing, we believe growth space and opportunities are bred from weakness and changes. Nowadays, DRCO has ushered in a new development stage, presenting a fresh new start. As the traffic-driven era comes to an end, we’ll pursue sustainability and devote to products and services that deliver compounding effects over time during this favorable window period of resources integration. Consequently with deep root in the market and stronger core competitiveness, DRCO will create significant values to our shareholders and customers. Original aspiration With enhancing joy and beauty of true love as our aspiration, we constantly strive to discover, witness and spread love and romance. Instead of some business logic or model, DRCO roots in a dream for everlasting and happy emotional relationship. It’s this dream that drives us to be a century brand and witness of more true love. A brand represents consumers’ trust and their awareness and appraisal of a company’s products, services and cultural values. Established based on consumers’ recognition and confidence, DRCO benefits them from our long-term development. A really classic brand must be time-proven and become durable through impact of trends. Upholding people orientation, our aspiration and vision aim to please and connect customers, and accompany their growth and affection. Jewelry is generally preferred as the best carrier for expressing and testifying love. Especially as the saying goes, “A Diamond is Forever”. Focus on long-term values Due to agriculture civilization, the peaceful family & national spirits and inheritance of Chinese culture, Chinese people traditionally prefer to precious gold and low-key jade. Nowadays, diamonds that are introduced from the west with deep connotation of true love have gained high popularity among the youth. DRCO enjoys sustainable brand values by dominating the most memorable moments for people and representing the sole love cherished by each female. Although of various challenges, we believe our persistency toward the right direction is bound to create long-term values for our shareholders. Moreover, our brand power stems from the expression of love with pure, strong and unshakable promise, reflecting the most lasting and underlying demand of human beings. 2 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited We always center our decisions around customers, and identify market recognition of our brand in line with key indicators like word of mouth and customer growth. We’ve been investing considerable resources to expand our customer base, raise brand image and bolster technologies, so as to build sustainable competitiveness in the market. Our pursuit of long-term brand values and decision-making may differ from other companies. Therefore, we’d like to share key ideas on our strategies with shareholders to guarantee the same goal: We spare no efforts to meet customer demands and improve their online & offline experiences; Powered by brand building, we pay greater attention to offline operating efficiency and product design and processing; We continue to make decisions based on long-term development, which sometimes may affect short-term results; We will endeavor to reduce cost and increase efficiency as we recognize the importance of cost control in the highly competitive industry; We will further attract and retain excellent talents who are essential to build up a vigorous team with common goals and achieve success; We attach great importance to ESG and insist on sustainability strategy for our long- term development while advocating our core values to help maintain stable marriage and contribute to social harmony. Powerful coordination like Diamonds Like many other top enterprises, we work to recruit and retain the talents with the sense of responsibility and ownership, whom we depend on to advance in the right direction instead of just data analysis. Excellent employees and are crucial to address difficulties in business operation, forge a great brand and build up a remarkable organization. We call for powerful coordination and thinking collision among excellent talents to inject inexhaustible power to corporate development. The first curve & the second curve of DRCO growth For the past decade and beyond, we have been committed to forging DR brand into worldwide No.1 brand of engagement rings, which is definitely the first curve of our development. By communicating the true-love culture, DR products, no matter of one ring or a series, will be deemed as customers’ sole and prime choice for proposal and expression of love in the lifetime. Undoubtedly brand and cultural confidence will create huge opportunities for Chinese brands, while increasingly differentiated and segmented consumer demands are pushing various new consumptions like DTC (Direct-to-Consumer). Our second curve highlights expression of love, multi-brand and global footprints. The corresponding strategy is created in two aspects: further development of our strength by fully leveraging our resources, and meaningful efforts in boosting customer happiness, creating a wonderful scenario, etc. Four priorities for 2023 We’d take this chance to inform our shareholders of the four priorities for 2023 identified in the 3 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited annual employee meeting. Brand-driven innovation: in order to advocate true love and witness move love, DRCO has made comprehensive plans and preparation around our brand, including evolution of brand contents and communication, high brand-awareness products and implementation of impressive activities. All of these efforts will gradually take effects. Love-oriented service system: DRCO products are designed to go through from the once-in-a- life promise to lifetime happiness, which requires a considerate business and service system to interconnect our customers. Since the latter half of 2022, we have embarked on the infrastructure construction of an omnichannel operating and marketing system, and will propel integrated online & offline business throughout the customers lifecycle. Talent cultivation and reform of management mechanism: attracting more talents are valuable to our development goals and one of major reasons behind our listing. In 2023, DRCO will start at organizational upgrading, for which more and more talents with the same ideology are needed to realize our strategies. Result-driven delivery with higher standards and efficiency: great efforts should be made to create a high-performance culture, leading to lots of benefits such as better products and services for customers. Proactive development for a bright future Each of our new goals and decisions is made in practical and feasible manner and we always can find out new insights into the company, brands and customers by deeply communicating with regional managers and sales champions. The recipe for success is simple, but requires deliberate planning and actions. Last but not least, we on behalf of the Board of Directors, sincerely appreciate every shareholder for your understanding and expectations that hopefully come true.

Management discussion and analysis I Industrial situation during the reporting period DRCO is required to comply with the disclosure requirements for "jewelry-related business" and "retail industry" specified in the Self-disciplinary Supervision Guidelines No.3-Industry Information Disclosure of companies listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. (I) Overview of macroeconomic environment and market conditions In 2022, many factors such as geopolitical conflicts, global supply chain disruptions, energy crises and tightening inflation posed significant downside risks to the global economy. The domestic economy also faced challenges due to the turbulent international environment and various uncertainties. In 2022, China's GDP grew by 3.0% year-on-year. Among the three major industries, the service industry was the most seriously impacted. The per capita disposable income of residents nationwide was RMB36,883, growing by 2.9% after deducting price factors, which is basically synchronized with economic growth. Per capita consumption expenditure was RMB 24,538, down 0.2% in real terms (compared with growth of 12.6% a year earlier), accounting for 66.5% of disposable income (compared with 68.6% a year earlier). Despite the slowdown in economic development and the impact on consumer confidence, the Chinese economy continued to show great resilience. Under the Chinese government's working guideline of "striving for progress while maintaining stability," the national economy withstood the pressure and continued to develop, and various offline economic activities were under the recovery at the end of the year. In the World Economic Outlook report released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Singapore, the expected growth rate of the global economy in 2023 was raised to 2.9% from 2.7% in October 2022, and the expected growth rate for China in 2023 was levelled up significantly to 5.2%. This clearly shows that the adjustment of China's domestic policies has greatly improved market sentiment for economic recovery. In 2022, the General Office of the State Council successively issued the Opinions on Accelerating the Development of New Types of Consumption with New Business Forms and Models and the Opinions on Further Unleashing Consumption Potential and Promoting the Sustainable Recovery of Consumption to promote the orderly recovery and development of consumption. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China also emphasized efforts to boost domestic demands, strengthen the fundamental role of consumption in economic development and promote high-quality development. In December, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Draft Strategic Plan for Expanding Domestic Demand (2022-2035), and the National Development and Reform Commission issued the Implementation Plan of the "14th Five-Year Plan" for Expanding Domestic Demand, which clearly states that "comprehensively promoting consumption and accelerating the upgrading of consumption quality" is an important task for expanding domestic demand, and sets out the relevant requirements and tasks. This means that China's consumer market has bid farewell to the era of arbitrary growth, and that consumer demand is constantly increasing, requiring high-quality products and services to meet both material and spiritual consumption needs. (II) Overview of the development of the jewelry industry According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the total retail sales of consumer goods in 2022 amounted to 43.97 trillion yuan, down 0.2% year on year. Among them, the total retail sales of gold, silver and jewelry above a certain size amounted to 301.4 billion yuan, down 1.1% year-on- year,,combined with last year’s high base, it refelects the strong resilience of China’s Jewelry industry. According to the "2022 Development Report of China's Jewelry Industry" published by the Gems & Jewelry Trade Association of China (GAC), the total market volume of China's jewelry industry in 2022 was about 719 billion yuan, basically the same as that in 2021. The gold 17 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited products market was 410 billion yuan, down 2.4% year-on-year, the jade market was 147 billion yuan, up 14.8% year-on-year, and the diamond products market was 82 billion yuan, down 18% year-on-year. Albeit a full recovery in 2021, the diamond jewelry market faced difficulties in 2022. Compared with other categories, the consumption scenarios of diamond products are relatively limited with relatively higher unit price, leading to bigger challenges in the context of declining wedding activities and increasing online sales of other categories. The Rapaport Diamond Price Index shows the price of 0.3 carat and 0.5 carat diamonds which used to rise steadily in the past years due to strong demands in the Chinese market fell by 7.7% and 10.8% respectively this year. This also indicates the weakness of domestic demand. Generally speaking, China's jewelry industry repeatedly achieves breakthroughs and demonstrates tremendous vitality through active transformation under multiple challenges. With the recovery of offline consumption, many consumer goods including jewelry that meet people's desire for a better life will experience a revival. In the past three years, all categories of jewelry have been continuously innovated and improved in several dimensions from culture to technologies, achieving quantitative accumulation and qualitative transformation, such as more precise brand culture building, more efficient supply chains, more customized and diverse product design, and more comprehensive end-customer experience. At present, China is already the largest gold consumer and the second largest diamond consumer in the world, and will usher in a new development pattern as the most promising jewelry consumer market in the world. 1. Market fluctuations accelerate industry restructuring, and industry concentration continuously shifts toward the top companies Under the pressure of economic downturn, the growing gap between enterprises in terms of perf ormance, market share and competitiveness in the jewelry industry is becoming even more appa rent, and market resources are continuously flowing into the top enterprises in the industry. This i s conducive for jewelry brands with brand appeal and influence to integrate upstream and downs tream resources more efficiently and expand market share. In the future, the degree of concentra tion in the industry will continue to increase. According to Euromonitor, from 2016 to 2022, the co ncentration ratio of China's jewelry industry constantly inclined toward the head companies, with t he CR10 jumping from 17.2% to nearly 30%. The head companies still have potentials to further i ncrease their market share in a relatively fragmented competitive landscape compared to 56% a nd 49% in Hong Kong, China and Japan respectively. As it is difficult for ordinary consumers to d istinguish the quality and value of diamond jewelry, they rely more on brand trust when selecting jewelry. Jewelry companies with a high brand reputation will be preferred. Considering stable growth of Chinese economy in the future and the steady rise in residents' income due to economic growth, it is expected that the Chinese jewelry industry will achieve stable growth under the dual promotion of industry concentration and expanded market share of the head companies. According to the statistics and forecasts of Statista, an international data institute, the compound annual growth rate of the market is expected to be 4.45% from 2023 to 2026 (according to the historical data published by GAC, the compound growth rate of major jewelry categories from 2013 to 2022 was5.8% for diamonds,3.3% for gold and 3.3% for jade). In addition to the demand side, the supply side gradually shifts from the traditional strategy focusing on sales and price competition to brand building and deep insight into consumers’ behaviors and demands. These changes in response to the era of personalized consumption will also drive expansion of industrial scale. 2. The middle class continues to grow and it’s possible for higher penetration rate of the industry 18 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited As diamond is a kind of consumer goods with strong optional attributes, the continuous improvement in the disposable income of residents and the steady growth of the middle class have laid the foundation for a continuous improvement in the penetration rate of the domestic diamond and jewelry industry. According to De Beers and the World Bank, the per capita demand for diamond jewelry in 2021 was $142 in the United States, $40 in Japan and only $7 in China. Compared with developed countries, China's consumption of diamond jewelry still has much room for improvement. On the other hand, according to the absolute income standard of the National Bureau of Statistics, there is a middle-income group of more than 400 million people in China, which is the largest and most promising middle-income group in the world. According to MGI data from the "2023 McKinsey China Consumer Report", the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the number of urban Chinese households with an annual income of more than 160,000 yuan ($21,800) reached 18% from 2019 to 2021, from 99 million to 138 million; it is predicted that another 71 million households will enter this range by 2025, showing the huge potential of the Chinese consumer market. From a product structure perspective, the current demand for jewelry in China has both investment and consumption attributes, and the emotional and cultural appeal and design esthetics required for jewelry are continuously increasing as generations change. In 2020, the United States accounted for 48% of global diamond consumption, while China, ranked second, accounted for only 13% of the global market and less than one-third of the United States, indicating significant growth potential. In terms of consumption scenarios, the proliferation of diamond jewelry for weddings in China is expected to continue to increase. According to the "2018 Diamond Industry Insights Report" published by De Beers, the proportion of Chinese newlyweds who purchased diamond rings was only 47% in 2017. However, according to HUNLIJI's "2023 Wedding All-Category Consumption Trend Insights Report", diamond rings account for 81.3% of the preferred types of wedding jewelry, and 67.3% of couples opt for customized diamond rings. With the continuous increase in the number of middle-income and high-income families, and the continued increase in per capita consumption and market penetration, this is expected to further drive the rapid expansion of the jewelry industry. 3. Attention on changes in consumer demands is essential to the industrial long-term development From a consumer perspective, Chinese consumers' purchasing desires gradually turns to emotional values and personal taste instead of functions or basic living demands. The consumption behavior changes from buying mass products to personalized products and from offerings to goods and services, reflecting the customers higher interests in better quality and pleasure and satisfaction during the consumption journey. The diversification of material and spiritual consumption needs and focus on quality fuels the development of jewelry consumption. On the supply side, jewelry retailers used to center on practical value. However, as emotional element is increasingly important to the consumers, they prefer to brands that match their values and emotional needs. Therefore, emotional benefits and practical benefits are equally crucial for jewelry brands. The changes in consumer behavior indeed owe to different consumption concepts brought about by generational change, which is underpinned by changed population structure with far-reaching impact on the consumer market. On May 11, 2021, the results of the seventh census were released by the National Bureau of Statistics, according to which the total population of China is currently 1.41178 billion. Among them, 494.38 million people are aged 18-35, accounting for 35.35% of the total population. According to a research report by BCG and Ali Research Institute, the consumption of China's younger generation (18-35 years old) will surpass that of the older generation (over 35 years old) in 2021, reaching US$2.6 trillion. It is obvious that the younger generation will become the main force of China's consumer market. The changes in consumption concepts and behaviors resulting from the generational shift will further accelerate the 19 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited penetration of jewelry consumption terminals and bring new growth opportunities to the consumer market. 4. The market demand in non-marital relationships is growing as expression of love is consumers’ invisible and rigid need. In the contemporary new romantic relationship, Chinese people seek to explore and break traditional norms and embrace real self, boosting public pursuit of eternal love and emotional expression. Under consumption upgrading, consumers' demands are becoming more personalized and individualized, and scenario-based consumption gains popularity. The new generation of young consumers in particular stress on spiritual satisfaction. Gifts are presented not only in festivals and commemorative days such as Valentine's Day, May 20 and Chinese Valentine's Day, but also for the consumers to express their love. According to CSM's "Short Video Customer Value Research Report 2022" and QuestMobile's survey data, the pursuit of a sense of ceremony in the life philosophy of short video customers is 66.9%. When it comes to "Valentine's Day" content on short video platforms, "a sense of ceremony is essential," "customized gifts for loved ones," and "gifts are precious because they are made with heart" have become hot topics for customers to discuss. Therefore, creating a stronger emotional bond through highly interactive and ceremonial expressions has become an inevitable trend in the demand for jewelry. It is expected that jewelry brands that have a strong emotional connection, convey sustainable value propositions, and represent a brand tonality will reap increasing demands in non-marriage and non-romantic scenarios. According to AIMedia data center's survey on the demand for jewelry/accessories in China's wedding market, 89.5% of consumers will buy wedding jewelry in 2021, of which 77.7% will buy rings and 75.5% will buy necklaces. At the same time, more than 67.5% of wedding jewelry consumers have a budget of over 30,000 yuan, more than 42.5% have a budget of over 50,000 yuan, and nearly 15% of wedding jewelry consumers have a budget of over 100,000 yuan. Therefore, the demand for wedding jewelry, which is mainly made of gold and diamonds, will continue to have a high budget. 5. External environment accelerates the pace of digital transformation in the industry With the rapid development of digital technology, the cognition and interconnection of the consumers have unprecedentedly expanded, and the jewelry industry has entered a new normal of comprehensive digital transformation. In particular, the popularity of Internet and widespread mobile payments are new drivers of jewelry demands. People's consumption habits, contents, patterns and concepts are constantly adjusted by the development of digital technology. According to Tmall online data from MKTINDEX, the cumulative sales of the jewelry market from January to December 2022 reached 25.34 billion yuan, up 25.7% year on year. In 2022, the economic outlook was weak, and various industries experienced different degrees of decline. However, the jewelry market maintained a high degree of consumer elasticity. New consumption patterns turn two-dimensional consumption experience into the three- dimensional level. Meanwhile Internet has bridged the gap between offline and online purchase, accelerating the development of the "Internet plus" jewelry economy. Jewelry retailers are exploring multiple channels to fully utilize private domain traffic and forge a new development trend combining online growth, offline experience and full channels. The development of online and offline integration will enable jewelry retailers to understand and better reach customers and achieve continuous innovation through digital transformation. II The main business of DRCO during the reporting period DRCO is required to comply with the disclosure requirements for "jewelry-related business" and 20 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited "retail industry" specified in the Self-disciplinary Supervision Guidelines No.3-Industry Information Disclosure of companies listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. (I) Main business of DRCO With the corporate mission of enhancing joy and beauty of true love and the vision of the global leader in the true love culture, DRCO is a globalized public company engaging in high- end diamonds and jewelry, true love culture and related services. By tailoring engagement rings for our customers, we focus on business sceneries of proposal, wedding and anniversaries, so as to witness and propagate the true love culture, and deliver worldwide consumers with high-quality jewelry products and unique love culture-related experience and services to meet their desires for eternal love. Through a global online and offline DTC (Direct to consumer) retail network, DR engagement diamonds are available in over 200 cities across Paris of France, Hong Kong of China and Chinese mainland. Empowered by its differentiated positioning, professional product design and unique service experience, DR has quickly grown into a leading brand in the world’s engagement ring market, and received many authoritative international awards, such as "Asia's Top 500 Brands" by World Brand Lab, “Brand of the Year” by JNA Awards, and “Best International Engagement Ring Brand of the Year” by HKCT. As of the end of the reporting period, it had 688 direct-sales stores worldwide, highly recognized and favored by young consumers. (II) Main products of DRCO At present, the main products of DRCO include engagement rings, wedding rings and love gifts. Going forward, based on the strategy of supporting customers’ lifetime love, DRCO will seize market opportunities, and work continuously to improve the power of product development and service innovation, in an effort to provide consumers with more diversified love solutions and ultimately become a leader in the love culture ecosystem. (III) Business conditions of DRCO 1. Customized self-directed sales model With a fully integrated omnichannel marketing, DRCO provides customers with a seamless online and offline shopping experience. Channels such as the official website, mini program, Tmall and JD flagship stores offer our consumers online platforms to browse and store at any time, while offline stores act as physical experience channels, taking full advantage of the convenience and efficiency of online platforms and the physical experience of offline channels. For reasons of brand promotion, image building, and unified management and 21 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited operations, DRCO is choosing a fully self-managed model for the DR brand. All stores are managed and operated by DRCO itself. The prices of online and offline products are uniform and mainly offered to customers through retail sales. Under the customized model, consumers place orders and make down payments or full payments to confirm the purchase through DRCO's online and offline stores. After DRCO orders production and receives final payment, it arranges for direct delivery to consumers or delivery to the store for consumer pickup. To help consumers better communicate the beautiful love, DRCO also offers them a series of value-added services, such as a love contract, a love affirmation book and a proposal ceremony supported by the store. (1) Revenue by business model during the reporting period During the period under review, economic growth slowed and consumer purchasing power declined, leading to a drop in demand for some consumer goods. As a result, DRCO's short- term performance was under pressure. The unfavorable business environment caused by the economic downturn intensified competition in the industry, which negatively impacted DRCO's sales. During the period under review, DRCO generated total revenue of 3.68 billion yuan, down 20.36% year-on-year. Of which, the Online Self-Operated, Offline Direct- Operated, Offline Joint-Operated and Other Businesses accounted for revenues of 0.40 billion yuan, 2.98 billion yuan, 0.28 billion yuan and 0.03 billion yuan, respectively, accounting for 10.72%, 80.95%, 7.48% and 0.85% of DRCO's annual revenues. The revenue of the self-operated online business decreased by 34.07% year-on-year during the reporting period, mainly due to the optimization of DRCO's product structure and the removal of some diamond ring products with low carat weight at the beginning of the reporting period. The decrease in offline sales is mainly due to the decrease in the number of visitors to shopping malls and the suspension or reduction of store hours due to cooperation with shopping malls. According to statistics, the total number of days on which store hours were suspended or shortened was 9,940 for all stores during the year. The increase in other business revenue was mainly due to the increase in sales of products to be processed, with a year-on-year growth of 11.85%.

(3) Online sales during the reporting period DRCO mainly carries out online sales business through its own sales platform (i.e. DRCO's official website) and third-party sales platforms. In 2022, online revenue accounted for 10.72% of DRCO’s total revenue during the reporting period, 2.23 percentage points lower than the same period of the preceding year. During the reporting period, DRCO's revenue from online sales was RMB394.59 million, down 34.07% from the same period last year. Specifically, the revenue from self-owned sales platform was RMB73.28 million, down 27.30% from the same period last year; the revenue from third-party sales platforms was RMB321.32 million, down 35.44% from the same period last year. The revenue decline of the online business was mainly due to the optimization of DRCO's product structure and the removal of some engagement diamond ring products with low carat weight at the beginning of the reporting period. The revenue of diamond ring products with low carat weight dropped by 92%.

Retail operations Offline stores are the window of front-end customer experience. In 2022, DRCO set up 254 new stores, reaching the 2022 expanding goal of setting up over 200 stores in that year. In 2023, DRCO will continue to optimize store operations and management, improve the customers’ onsite experience, and provide them with better solutions for expressing love: (1) The business direction: while continuing to cultivate the diamond ring category, we will continue to improve our products and customer experience according to the customers’ needs in various affection scenarios, such as engagement, wedding and the memorial day, so as to allow them to express true love; (2) Channel layouts: relying on the existing channel network, DRCO will continue to refine the channel structure, improve the level and positioning of the channels, optimize the visual effect of the stores, strengthen the customer's perception of DRCO's brand power, and build the offline stores as brand assets, thus enhancing the development momentums of the brand; (3) Operations of the stores: DRCO will put customers first to improve the in-store experience of customers, refine the service standard of front-line sales staff, and create a more heartwarming DR-style experience and services; (4) Terminal organization management: DRCO will strengthen the coordinated management over regional presence. The internal competition mechanism helps DRCO rapidly of the region, quickly identify the operational weakness of the regional companies and stores. DRCO has in-house coaching groups for timely professional diagnosis and improvement, helping the management of the regional companies and stores to improve their capabilities. 4. Organizational construction DRCO is committed to creating a corporate culture that is "people-oriented" and "customer-centric": (1) Organizational upgrading: DRCO establishes the omnichannel consumer operations and delivery teams to enable the growth of the customer base; (2) Organizational empowerment: on the one hand, DRCO helps existing retail organizations and the front ends to establish the "customer-centric" operation concept; on the other hand, DRCO designs culture activities better aligning with the DR style on the basis of the business scenarios; (3) Talent management: DRCO will continue to establish and improve the internal incentive mechanism and adhere to the strategy of determining jobs and salaries based on ability, so that outstanding talents can receive competitive compensation in the market. 57 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited In 2023, DRCO will continue to improve various mechanisms of human resources, focusing on the reserve of outstanding talents, performance-based incentive, and the career development path of managers. Based on the strategic development and employee development needs, DRCO will promote the establishment of a mechanism-driven operation model, which will formulate a training plan aiming at developing the organizational capabilities to support business development, so as to continuously activate the organizational vitality. (IV) Risks in corporate operation and countermeasures 1. Economic and market volatility risks DRCO's main products are diamond Jewelry, which are mid-to-high-end consumer goods and are subject to consumption levels and purchasing intentions of the population. Such products are therefore exposed to business risks arising from fluctuations in the economic and market environment. In addition, geopolitical crises in recent years have led to increased international trade conflicts, which can lead to uncertainty in the purchase of rough diamonds in overseas markets. To address these risks, DRCO will take effective measures such as enhancing brand communication, adjusting business strategies in a timely manner, and improving operational efficiency to continue to maintain core competitive advantages and expand market share. At the same time, DRCO will keep paying attention to the overseas rough diamond markets and timely make structural procurement adjustments, so as to actively respond to the impacts of fluctuations in the upstream supply chain. 2. Risk of consigned production As DRCO adopts the consigned production model, any delay in delivery or substandard quality of the outsourced products will adversely affect DRCO's inventory management, brand reputation and even operating results. Since its establishment, DRCO has always placed great importance on the quality of its products. In the course of its daily operations, DRCO will continue to exercise strict quality control over the procurement of raw materials, consignment processing and acceptance into the warehouse, and ensure that the full quality control system is effectively implemented in all aspects. 3. Risk of declining brand influence As domestic consumers' demands for personalized Jewelry products keep growing, the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and new brands and new business concepts continue to emerge. As a result, DRCO faces the risk of the decline in brand influence, which may have a negative impact on market share expansion, earnings growth and the ability to continue as a going concern. In response, DRCO has taken the following measures: (1) Increase investment in brand marketing and building to enhance and expand brand value and influence; (2) Continue to expand and improve channel coverage; (3) Keep improving operations, product quality and customer services of stores; (4) Protect intellectual property rights such as trademarks involved in the course of business; (5) strengthening the digitalization of business operations, etc. 4. Risk of new stores with low performance Due to domestic economic stagnation and consumption downgrade in recent years, DRCO’s fast expansion of new stores may suffer from poor performance. To this end, DRCO will take the following measures: (1) Slow down expansion of new store and focus on improving operation and covering high-quality business circles; 58 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited (2) Enhance the sustainable development of products, break the barriers to the increments and create more scenarios for repeat purchase; (3) Reduce cost and increase efficiency, and pursue overall optimization by closing or relocating inefficient and loss-making stores. 5. Operational and organizational management risks As DRCO's business scale and the number of proprietary stores continue to increase, DRCO's management mechanism, talent pool, market development and compliance operations will be subject to higher requirements. If DRCO fails to address the challenges in management capability, talent pool and market exploration during the development process, and the organizational model and management system are not adjusted and improved in a timely manner in line with the expansion of business scale, DRCO may face risks in sales scale and business development in the future. Hence, DRCO will continue to actively recruit excellent talents and strengthen the training of internal management and employees; optimize and integrate its business structure in strict accordance with the standard governance requirements of listed companies; strengthen the construction of the internal control system, optimize internal processes and management efficiency to improve DRCO's operational management and risk mitigation capabilities. 59 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited XII.

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. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. 151 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited (III) Key Audit Matters (continued) We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the “Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements” section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements. Key Audit Matters: How our audit addressed the matter: Revenue recognition For the year ended 31 December 2022, the Our procedures in relation to revenue consolidated revenue of DR Corporation recognition mainly included: Limited and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Group") was 1) Obtaining an understanding of the RMB36.82 billion. accounting policies of revenue recognition and reviewing main sales The Group's current business model contract terms to assess the mainly includes: retail directly to the end appropriateness of revenue recognition consumers through offline direct-operated policies; stores, e-commerce platforms and offline 2) Obtaining an understanding of the joint-operated stores.

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the consolidated 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 other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report the fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. (V) Responsibilities of the management and those charged with governance for the financial statements The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with ASBEs, and for designing, implementing and maintaining such internal control as the management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. (VI) Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with CSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are generally 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. 154 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited (VI) Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued) As part of an audit in accordance with CSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: (1) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. (2) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control. (3) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management. (4) Conclude on the appropriateness of the management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our 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. (5) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. (6) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. 155 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited (VI) Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued) We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

According to the resolution of the shareholders' meeting on September 5, 2011, the Company applied to Shenzhen Administration For Market Regulation on September 6, 2011 for approval of increasing the registered capital from RMB 30,000 to RMB 1 million, and the new registered capital was RMB 970,000, of which Zhang Guotao subscribed and paid RMB 494,700, Lu Yiwen subscribed and paid RMB 475,300. The proportion of contribution of Zhang Guotao and Lu Yiwen were 51% and 49% respectively. The addition of capital has been verified by Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP that issued a “Capital Verification Report” (Ernst & Young Hua Ming (2020) Yan Zi No. 61403707_H01). According to the resolution of the shareholders' meeting on December 1, 2014, the Company applied to Shenzhen Administration For Market Regulation on December 10, 2014 for approval of increasing the registered capital from RMB 1 million to RMB 100 million, of which Zhang Guotao subscribed RMB 50.49 million and Lu Yiwen subscribed RMB 48.51 million. On April 1, 2015, April 2, 2015 and June 8, 2015, Zhang Guotao paid capital contributions of RMB5 million, RMB5 million and RMB20 million respectively, and the paid in capital of the Company after these series of capital contribution was RMB31 million, and the proportion of subscribed capital of Zhang Guotao and Lu Yiwen remained unchange. Pursuant to the Company’s change decision on December 18, 2015, Zhang Guotao and Lu Yiwen transferred their 51% and 49% equity interest in the Company to DR Investment (Zhuhai) Co., Ltd. ("DR Investment"), and on January 29, 2016 and November 7, 2016, DR Investment paid capital contributions of RMB18 million and RMB51 million, respectively, and the paid in capital of the Company after these series of capital contribution was RMB100 million. The addition of capital has been verified by Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP that issued a “Capital Verification Report”(Ernst & Young Hua Ming (2020) Yan Zi No. 61403707_H02). 172 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited III. General information (continuted) According to the resolution of the shareholders' meeting on November 22, 2017, DR Investment transferred its 5% equity interest in the Company to Gongqingcheng Wendi No.1 Investment Management Partnership (LP) ("Wendi No. 1"), Gongqingcheng Wendi No.2 Investment Management Partnership (LP) ("Wendi No. 2") and Gongqingcheng Wendi No.3 Investment Management Partnership (LP) ("Wendi No. 3") respectively. On November 24, 2017, the above equity transfer was completed and the three limited partnerships held 2%, 2% and 1% of the equity interests of the Company respectively. According to the resolution of the shareholders' meeting of the Company on June 19, 2019, the Company changed from a limited company to a corporation limited company based on the audited net assets. The Company’s name changed from Shenzhen Darry Jewelry Co., Ltd. to DR Corporation Limited and the shareholding ratio of each shareholder before and after the change remained unchanged. As of February 28, 2019, the adjusted net assets of the limited company were RMB396,540,157.74, of which RMB360,000,000.00 was converted into 360,000,000.00 ordinary shares of the corporation limited company.The registered share capital was changed to RMB360,000,000.00, with a par value of RMB1 per share. The portion of net assets exceeding the share capital of RMB 36,540,157.74 was accounted as "capital reserve" and shared by all shareholders. In accordance with the approval of the Listing Committee of the Growth Enterprise Market of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the CSRC's "Approval on Agreeing the Registration of DR Corporation Limited for Initial Public Offering of Shares (Zheng Jian Xu Ke No. [2021] 3043)" on September 16, 2021, the Company conducted an initial public offering of 40,001,000 ordinary shares (A shares) with an issue price of RMB116.88 per share. The additional registered capital from the IPO has been verified by Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP that issued a "Capital Verification Report" (Ernst & Young Hua Ming (2021) Yan Zi No. 61403707_H01).. The Company was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on December 15, 2021. The parent and ultimate parent company of the Group is DR Investment (Zhuhai) Co., Ltd., which is incorporated in the People’s Republic of China. The financial statements were approved by board of directors on 26 April 2023. The scope of consolidation in the consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control. See Note VIII for changes in the current year. 173 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited IV. Basis of preparation of the financial statements (I) Basic of preparation These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises - Basic Standard and specific accounting standards, implementation guidance, interpretations and other relevant provisions issued subsequently by the Ministry of Finance (the “MOF”) (collectively referred to as “ASBEs”). (II) Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates The Group has formulated specific accounting policies and accounting estimates based on the characteristics of actual operation, which are mainly reflected in impairment allowance for accounts receivable, inventory valuation method, amortization of long-term prepaid expenses, depreciation of right-of-use assets, impairment of long-term assets, revenue recognition and measurement, etc. 1.Statement of compliance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises The financial statements present truly and completely the financial positions of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2022, and the financial performance and the cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. 2.Accounting year The Group has adopted the calendar year as its accounting year , from 1 January to 31 December. 3.Business Cycle The Group has adopted a normal operating cycle of 12 months as the criterion for classifying the liquidity of its assets and liabilities. 4.Functional currency The Company’s functional and presentation currency is Renminbi (“RMB”). The currency unit is RMB Yuan unless otherwise stated . Each subsidiary of the Group determines its own functional currency based on the primary economic environment in which it operates. In preparation of the financial statements, their functional currencies are translated into RMB. 174 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 5.Business combinations Business combinations are classified into business combinations involving entities under common control and business combinations not involving entities under common control. (I) Business combinations involving entities under common control A business combination involving entities under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory. The assets and liabilities (including goodwill arising from the ultimate controlling party’s acquisition of the entity being absorbed) that are obtained by the absorbing entity in a business combination involving entities under common control shall be measured on the basis of their carrying amounts in the financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the combination date. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (or the aggregate face value of shares issued as consideration) shall be adjusted to the capital premium under capital reserves. If the capital premium is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings. (II) Business combinations not involving entities under common control A business combination not involving entities under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination. The acquirer shall measure the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in the business combination at their fair values on the acquisition date. 175 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 5.Business combinations (continued) (II) Business combinations not involving entities under common control (continued) Goodwill is initially recognized and measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred (or the fair value of the equity securities issued) and any fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Where the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred (or the fair value of the equity securities issued) and any fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is lower than the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets, the Group reassesses the measurement of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and the fair value of the consideration transferred (or the fair value of the equity securities issued), together with the fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree. If after that reassessment, the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred (or the fair value of the equity securities issued) and the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is still lower than the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets, the Group recognizes the remaining difference in profit or loss. 6.Consolidated financial statements The scope of the consolidated financial statements, which include the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries, is determined on the basis of control. A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company (such as an enterprise, a deemed separate entity, or a structured entity controlled by the Company). In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same accounting year as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. When the amount of loss for the period attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders' portion of the opening balance of shareholders equity of the subsidiary, the excess amounts are still allocated against minority interests. For subsidiaries acquired through business combinations not involving entities under common control, the financial performance and cash flows of the acquiree shall be consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date such control ceases. While preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group shall adjust the subsidiary’s financial statements, on the basis of the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognized on the acquisition date. For subsidiaries acquired through business combinations involving entities under common control, the financial performance and cash flows of the entity being absorbed shall be consolidated from the beginning of the period in which the combination occurs. While preparing the comparative financial statements, adjustments are made to related items in the financial statements for the prior period as if the reporting entity after the combination has been in existence since the date the ultimate controlling party first obtained the control. 176 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 6.Consolidated financial statements (continued) The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if any change in facts and circumstances indicates that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. 7.Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises the Group’s cash on hand and bank deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 8.Foreign currency transactions and foreign currency translation The Group translates foreign currency transactions into its functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded, on initial recognition in the functional currency using the spot exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions/average exchange rates for the period in which the transactions occur/weighted average exchange rates for the period in which the transactions occur. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the spot exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of those relating to foreign currency borrowings specifically for the construction and acquisition of qualifying assets, which are capitalised in accordance with the guidance for capitalisation of borrowing costs. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions, and the amount denominated in the functional currency is not changed. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income depending on the nature of the non-monetary items. 177 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 8.Foreign currency transactions and foreign currency translation (continued) For foreign operations, the Group translates their functional currency amounts into RMB when preparing the financial statements as follows: as at the balance sheet date, the assets and liabilities are translated using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date; and equity items other than “unappropriated profit” are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates of transactions; revenue and expense items in profit or loss are translated using the average exchange rates for the period during which the transactions occur. The resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in profit or loss. If the disposal only involves a portion of a particular foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in profit or loss on a pro-rata basis. Foreign currency cash flows and the cash flows of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the spot exchange rates prevailing on the dates of cash flows. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is separately presented as an adjustment item in the statement of cash flows. 9.Financial instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. (I) Recognition and derecognition The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument. A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i. e., removed from the Group’s consolidated balance sheet) when: (1) the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired; or (2) the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset, or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the financial asset. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss. 178 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 9.Financial instruments (continued) Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. The trade date is the date that the Group committed to purchase or sell a financial asset. (II) Classification and measurement of financial assets The Group's financial assets are classified at initial recognition into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at amortised cost, based on the Group's business model for managing financial assets by enterprises and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Financial assets are measured at fair value on initial recognition, but accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from the sale of goods or rendering of services that do not contain significant financing components or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient of not adjusting the effect of a significant financing component due within one year, are initially measured at the transaction price. For financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss, and transaction costs relating to other financial assets are included in the initial recognition amounts. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows: Debt investments measured at amortised cost The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Interest income of such financial assets is recognised using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in current profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss The financial assets other than the above financial assets measured at amortised cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss 179 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 9.Financial instruments (continued) (III) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities The Group’s financial liabilities are, on initial recognition, classified into other financial liabilities. Transaction costs relating to other financial liabilities are included in the initial recognition amounts. The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows: Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost After initial recognition, such financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (IV) Impairment of financial instruments Based on expected credit losses, the Group undertakes impairment treatment and recognises loss provisions for financial assets measured at amortised cost. Credit losses represent the difference between all contractual cash flows receivable by the Group under a contract and all cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the original effective interest rate, being the present value of the entire cash shortfall. Of this amount, financial assets purchased or originated by the Group that are credit impaired should be discounted at the credit-adjusted effective interest rate of the financial assets. For trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group applies the simplified approach to recognize a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs. For financial assets other than above measured by the simplified approach, the Group evaluates at each balance sheet date whether the credit risk has significant increased since initial recognition. If the credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition (stage 1), the Group shall measure loss provisions based on the amount of expected credit losses for the next 12 months and calculate interest income according to the book value and effective interest rate; if the credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition but are not credit-impaired (stage2), the Group shall measure loss provisions based on the amount of expected credit losses for the entire lifetime and calculate interest income according to the book value and effective interest rate; if the credit impairment has occurred after initial recognition (stage 3), the Group shall measure loss provisions based on the amount of expected credit losses for the entire lifetime and calculate interest income at the amortised cost and effective interest rate. At the balance sheet date, if the Group only has financial instruments with lower credit risk, the Group assumes that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition. The Group evaluates the expected credit losses of financial instruments on an individual and portfolio basis. The Group takes into account the credit risk characteristics of different customers and evaluates the expected credit losses of relevant financial instruments on the basis of the aging portfolio. For the Group's disclosure of the criteria for determining the significant increase in credit risk and the definition of assets that have incurred credit impairment, please refer to Note X. 180 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 9.Financial instruments (continued) The Group directly reduces the carrying amount of financial assets when the Group no longer reasonably expects that the contractual cash flow of such financial assets may be fully or partially recoverable. (V) Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. (VI) Transfers of financial assets A financial asset is derecognized when the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset to the transferee. A financial asset is not derecognized when the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset. When the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset, it either (i) derecognizes the financial asset and recognizes the assets and liabilities created in the transfer when it has not retained control of the asset; or (ii) continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement, in which case, the Group also recognizes an associated liability. The Company complies with the disclosure requirements of the "Jewellery Related Business" in the "Self-regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies on Shenzhen Stock Exchange No. 3 - Disclosure of Industry Information”. 10.Trade receivables The method of determining expected credit losses on trade receivables and related accounting treatment can be referred to the policies relating to financial instruments. 11.Other receivables The method of determining expected credit losses on other receivables and the accounting treatment can be referred to the accounting policies regarding financial instruments. 181 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 12.Inventories The Company is required to comply with the disclosure requirements for jewelry-related business specified in the Self-disciplinary Supervision Guidelines No.3 for Companies Listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange - Industry Information Disclosure.. The Company is required to comply with the disclosure requirements for retail industry specified in the Self-disciplinary Supervision Guidelines No.3 for Companies Listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange - Industry Information Disclosure. Inventory includes raw materials, work in process, finished products, turnover materials, shipped commodities and commissioned processing materials. Inventories are initially carried at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, manufacuture overhead and other cost. Turnover materials include low value consumables and packing materials, which are amortised using the immediate write-off method. The perpetual inventory system is maintained for the stock system. At the balance sheet date, inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The inventories are written down below cost to net realisable value and the write-down is recognised in profit or loss if the cost is higher than the net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion, the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. Inventories are written down item by item. 13.Contract assets The Group presents contract assets or contract liabilities in the balance sheet based on the relationship between the fulfilment of performance obligations and payments from customers. The Group presents contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract on a net basis after offsetting them against each other. A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to a customer, and that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. The method of determining expected credit losses on contract assets and the accounting treatment can be referred to the policies relating to financial instruments. 14.Debt investments The method of determining expected credit losses on debt investments and the accounting treatment can be referred to the relevant policies on financial instruments. 182 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 15.Long-term equity investments Long-term equity investments include equity investments in subsidiaries. The long-term equity investment that the company can control the investee is accounted by cost method in individual financial statements of the company. Control is the power over the investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the number of the investor's returns. Under the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at its initial investment cost. When additional investment is made or the investment is recouped, the cost of the long- term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. Cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee are recognized as investment income in profit or loss. On disposal of a long-term equity investment, the difference between the carrying amount and the actual acquisition price is recognized in profit or loss for the period. 16.Fixed assets (I) Recognition A fixed asset is recognised only when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset that meets the recognition criteria shall be included in the cost of the fixed asset, and the carrying amount of the component of the fixed asset that is replaced shall be derecognised. Otherwise, such expenditures are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Fixed assets are initially measured at cost. The cost of a purchased fixed asset comprises the purchase price, relevant taxes and any directly attributable expenditure for bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied at least at each year end, and makes adjustments if necessary. (II) Depreciation method Estimated net Annual residual value depreciation rate Category Depreciation method Useful life rate(%) (%) Transportation facilities Straight-line method 4 years 5.00 23.75 Office equipment and other facilities Straight-line method 3 to 5 years 5.00 19.00-31.67 V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 183 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited 17.Borrowing costs The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised. The amounts of other borrowing costs incurred are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Qualifying assets are assets (fixed assets, investment properties, inventories, etc.) that necessarily take a substantial period of time of acquisition, construction or production to get ready for their intended use or sale. The capitalisation of borrowing costs commences only when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) expenditures for the asset have been incurred; (2) borrowing costs have been incurred; and (3) activities that are necessary to acquire, construct or produce the asset for its intended use or sale have been undertaken. Capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying asset being acquired, constructed or produced gets ready for its intended use or sale. Any borrowing costs subsequently incurred are recognised in profit or loss. During the capitalisation period, the amount of interest eligible for capitalisation for each accounting period shall be determined as follows: (1) where funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of interest eligible for capitalisation is the actual interest costs incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds; or (2) where funds are borrowed generally for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of interest eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying a weighted average interest rate on the general borrowings to the weighted average of the excess of the cumulative expenditures on the asset over the expenditures on the asset funded by the specific borrowings. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is suspended abnormally by activities other than those necessary to get the asset ready for its intended use or sale, when the suspension is for a continuous period of more than 3 months. Borrowing costs incurred during these periods are recognised as an expense in profit or loss until the acquisition, construction or production is resumed. 184 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 18.Right-of-use assets The Group's right-of-use assets consist primarily of buildings and structures. At the commencement date of the lease term, the Group recognizes its right to use the leased asset during the lease term as a right-of-use asset and is initially measured at cost. Right-of- use asset costs include: the initial measured amount of the lease liability; The amount of lease payments paid on or before the start date of the lease period, if there is a lease incentive, deduct the amount related to the lease incentive already enjoyed; initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; The costs expected of the lessee to incur to dismantle and remove the leased assets, restore the premises where the leased assets are located, or restore the leased assets to the state agreed in the terms of the lease. If the Group remeasures the lease liability due to changes in the amount of lease payments, the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets will be adjusted accordingly. Where the Group remeasures a lease liability as a result of changes in lease payments, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is adjusted accordingly. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis subsequently by the Group. If the Group is reasonably certain that the ownership of the underlying asset will be transferred to the Group at the end of the lease term, the Group depreciates the asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the asset. Otherwise, the Group depreciates the assets from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset or the end of the lease term. 19.Intangible assets (I) Valuation methods, useful lives, impairment An intangible asset shall be recognised only when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group probably and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The useful life of an intangible asset is determined on the basis of the period for which it will provide economic benefits to the Group. An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life when there is no unforeseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate economic benefits for the Group. An intangible asset with a finite useful life is amortised using the straight-line method over its useful life. For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, the Group reviews the useful life and amortisation method at least at each year end and makes adjustment if necessary. The intangible assets of the Group are mainly software with the useful lives from 1 to 5 years 185 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 19.Intangible assets (continued) (II) Accounting policy for internal research and development expenditure The Group classifies the expenditures 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 recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Expenditur on the development phase is capitalized only when the Group can demonstrate all of the following: (i) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; (ii) the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (iii) how the intangible asset will generate probable economic benefits(among other things, the Group 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); (iv) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; and (v) the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development phase. Expenditure on the development phase which does not meet these above criteria is recognised in profit or loss when incurred. 20.Impairment of assets The Group determines the impairment of assets, other than the impairment of inventories, deferred tax assets and financial assets, using the following methods: The Group assesses at the balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists that an asset may be impaired, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset and performs impairment testing. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. The Group estimates the recoverable amount on an individual basis unless it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the asset group to which the asset belongs. Identification of an asset group is based on whether major cash inflows generated by the asset group are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or asset groups. When the recoverable amount of an asset or asset group is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount by the Group. The reduction in the carrying amount is treated as an impairment loss and recognised in profit or loss. A provision for impairment loss of the asset is recognised accordingly. Once the above impairment loss is recognised, it cannot be reversed in subsequent accounting periods. 186 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 21.Long-term prepaid expenses Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised using the straight-line method as follows: Category Amortisation period Leasehold improvements 1 to 5 years Others 1 to 3 years 22. Contract liabilities A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration or an amount of consideration is due from the customer, such as an amount of consideration that an entity has received before the transfer of the promised goods or services. 23.Employee benefits (I) Short-term employee benefits During an accounting period when employees render services to the entity, the amount of short-term employee benefits actually incurred should be recognised as a liability and be recognised in profit or loss for the current period or in cost of related assets. (II) Post-employment benefits (defined contribution plan) The employees of the Group participate in a pension scheme and unemployment insurance managed by the local governments, and the corresponding expenses shall be included in the cost of related assets or profit or loss. (III) Termination benefits The Group provides termination benefits to employees and recognises an employee benefits liability for termination benefits, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss, at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits resulting from an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal and when the Group recognise costs involving the payment of termination benefits. 187 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 24.Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes the present value of the unpaid lease payments as a lease liability. Lease payments include fixed and substantial fixed payments net of lease incentives, variable lease payments depending on index or ratio, amounts expected to be payable based on the residual value of the guarantee, and the exercise price of the purchase option or the amount to be required to exercise the termination option, provided that the Group reasonably determines that the option or the term of the lease reflects the Group's exercise of the option to terminate the lease. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the implied interest rate of the lease as the discount rate; If the interest rate included in the lease cannot be determined, the interest rate of the lessee's incremental borrowing shall be used as the discount rate.The Group calculates the interest expense of the lease liability during each period of the lease term in accordance with the constant periodic rate of interest and recognizes it in profit and loss for the current period, except otherwise stipulated in the cost of related assets. Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of the lease liabilities are recognised in profit or loss as incurred, except those in the costs of the related asset as required. After the commencement date of the lease, the Group increases the carrying amount of the lease liability when it recognizes interest and reduces the carrying amount of the lease liability when it pays the lease payment. After a lease term commences, when there is a change in the amount of in-substance fixed lease payments, a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, a change in assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, renew or terminate the lease, or change in the actual exercise of an option, the Group remeasures the carrying amount of the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments. 25.Provisions An obligation related to a contingency shall be recognised by the Group as a provision when all of the following conditions are satisfied, except for contingent considerations and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination not involving entities under common control: (1) the obligation is a present obligation of the Group; (2) it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits from the Group will be required to settle the obligation; and (3) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation, taking into account factors pertaining to a contingency such as the risks, uncertainties and time value of money as a whole. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date. Where there is clear evidence that the carrying amount of a provision does not reflect the current best estimate, the carrying amount is adjusted to the current best estimate. 188 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 26.Share-based payments A share-based payment is classified as either an equity-settled share-based payment or a cash-settled share-based payment. An equity-settled share-based payment is a transaction in which the Group receives services and uses shares or other equity instruments as consideration for settlement. An equity-settled share-based payment in exchange for services received from employees is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted to the employees. If such equity- settled share-based payment could vest immediately, related costs or expenses at an amount equal to the fair value on the grant date are recognized, with a corresponding increase in capital reserves; if such equity-settled share-based payment could not vest until the completion of services for a vesting period, or until the achievement of a specified performance condition, the Group at each balance sheet date during the vesting period recognizes the services received for the current period as related costs and expenses, with a corresponding increase in capital reserves, at an amount equal to the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date, based on the best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The fair value of equity instruments is determined based on an assessment by a third-party independent asset appraiser, as described in Note XIII. For awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met, no expense is recognized. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vesting irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied. Where the terms of an equity-settled share-based award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognized as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payments, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an equity-settled share-based award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognized for the award is recognized immediately. If an employee or other parties can choose whether to meet a non-vesting condition, the Group treats the employee’s or other parties' failure to meet that non-vesting condition during the vesting period as a cancellation. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and is designated as a replacement on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award. The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured at the fair value of the liability which is determined on the basis of shares or other equity instruments of the Group. 27.Revenue from contracts with customers The Company is required to comply with the disclosure requirements for retail industry specified in the Self-disciplinary Supervision Guidelines No.3 for Companies Listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange - Industry Information Disclosure. 189 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 27.Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) The Company is required to comply with the disclosure requirements for jewelry-related business specified in the Self-disciplinary Supervision Guidelines No.3 for Companies Listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange - Industry Information Disclosure.. The Group recognises revenue when it has fulfilled its performance obligations under the contract, that is, when the customer obtains control of the relevant goods or services. The acquisition of control of the relevant goods or services is defined as the ability to dominate the use of the goods or the provision of the services and to derive substantially all the economic benefits therefrom. Contracts for the sale of goods A contract for the sale of goods between the Group and the customer usually only includes the performance obligation to transfer the goods. The Group generally recognizes revenue at the point in the performance of each individual performance obligation taking into account a combination of the acquisition of the current right to receive the goods, the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods, the transfer of legal title to goods, the transfer of physical possession of goods, and the customer's acceptance of goods. The Group mainly adopts the self-operated model for sales, which sells goods to customers in retail form and recognizes revenue when customers receive them. Sales with a right of return For sales with a right of return, the Group recognizes the revenue in the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring control of the goods to the customer, and recognizes the amount expected to be refunded as a result of the sales return as a refund liability. At the same time, an asset recognized for an entity’s right to recover goods from a customer on settling a refund liability is measured by reference to the carrying amount of the goods less any expected costs to recover the goods (including potential decreases in the value of the returned goods), that is, right-of-return assets, and recognized cost of sales based on thecarrying amount of the transferred goods at the time of transfer of the goods less the net amount of the asset cost above. At each balance sheet date, the Group re-estimate the future sales return and remeasures the assets and liabilities above. 190 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 27.Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) Warranties The Group provides a warranty in connection with the sale of a good in accordance with the contract and the relevant laws and regulations, etc. The Group accounts for assurance-type quality assurance in order to assure customers that the goods sold meet the established standards, in accordance with Note 3 and 19. For service-type quality assurance that provides a separate service in addition to the established standards for assuring the customer that the goods sold meet the established standards, the Group apportions part of the transaction price to the service-type quality assurance in proportion to the relative proportion of the separate selling price for the provision of the quality assurance of goods and services, and recognizes revenue when the customer acquires control of the service.When assessing whether a service-type warranty provides a customer with a separate service in addition to the assurance that the good complies with agreed-upon specifications, the Group considers whether the warranty is required by law, the length of the warranty coverage period and the nature of the tasks that the Group promises to perform, etc. Principal/agent Under the Offline Joint-Operatedbusiness model, cooperative shopping malls provide stores or counters to the Group for the sale of goods, and the shopping malls receive a commission according to a certain percentage of the turnover. The Group undertakes primary responsibility for the transfer of goods to customers, is entitled to determine the transaction price, and bears the inventory risk. Therefore the Group is a principal and recognizes revenue based on the total consideration received or receivable when customers receive the goods. Additional purchase option included with the customer Where an additional purchase option is attached to the customer, the Group evaluates the option to provide a material right to the customer when the customer acquires control of the relevant goods. Revenue is recognized on the basis of the amount of consideration expected to be entitled to be received as a result of the transfer of goods to the customer, and revenue is apportioned to each individual performance obligation based on the relative proportion to the individual selling prices of the goods committed to the individual performance obligations. 191 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 28.Government grants Government grants are recognised when all attaching conditions will be complied with and the grants will be received. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a non-monetary asset, it is measure at fair value; if fair value is not reliably determinable, it is measured at a nominal amount. If government documents stipulate that it is used for the purchase, construction, or other forms of long-term assets, it shall be regarded as government grants related to assets; If the government documents are not clear, the judgment shall be based on the basic conditions that must be met to obtain the government grant. If the basic conditions are to form long-term assets through purchase, construction or other means, it shall be regarded as government grants related to assets, and otherwise it shall be regarded as government grants related to income.. A government grant related to income is accounted for as follows: (i) if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred in subsequent periods, the grant is recognised as deferred income, and released in profit or loss or offset against related expenses over the periods in which the related costs are recognised; or (ii) if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred, it is recognised immediately in profit or loss or offset against relevant expenses. A government grant relating to an asset shall be offset against the carrying amounts of relevant assets, or recognised as deferred income and amortised in profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset by annual instalments in a systematic and rational way (however, a government grant measured at a nominal amount is recognised directly in profit or loss). Where the assets are sold, transferred, retired or damaged before the end of their useful lives, the rest of the remaining deferred income is released to profit or loss for the period in which the relevant assets are disposed of. 192 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 29.Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, and temporary differences between the tax bases and the carrying amounts of the items, which have a tax base according to related tax laws but are not recognised as assets and liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except: (1) when the taxable temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and (2) in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax losses and any unused tax credits. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised, except: (1) when the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and (2) in respect of the deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will be reversed in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised in the future. 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 realised or the liability is settled, in accordance with the requirements of tax laws. The measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover the assets or settle the liabilities. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available in future periods to allow the benefit of deferred tax assets to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be recovered. 193 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 29.Deferred tax (continued) Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if and only if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered. 30.Leases (1) Accounting treatment for operating lease At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. If a party of the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset or identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration, the contract shall be a lease contract or contains lease. As lessee The Group's recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases is shown in Note V.18 and V.24.. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Group considers a lease that, at the commencement date of the lease, has a lease term of 12 months or less, and does not contain any purchase option as a short-term lease; and a lease for which the value of the individual underlying asset is not more than RMB40,000 or USD5000 when it is new as a lease of low-value assets. If the Group subleases an asset, or expects to sublease an asset, the head lease does not qualify as a lease of a low-value asset. The Group has chosen to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for both short-term leases and low-value asset leases. See Note V.18 and V.24 for details. 194 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 31.Other Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future. Judgements In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements: Business model The classification of financial assets at initial recognition is dependens on the Group’s business model for managing financial assets. Factors considered by the Group in judging the business model include enterprise evaluation, the method of reporting the results of financial assets to key management members, the risks affecting the results of financial assets and the method for managing such risks, as well as the form of remuneration received by the management personnel of the businesses concerned. In assessing whether the business model is aimed at receiving contractual cash flows, the Group is required to analyse and exercise judgement in respect of the reasons, timing, frequency and values of any disposals prior to maturity of the financial assets. 195 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 31. Other Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) Judgements (continued) Whether a contract is, or contains, a lease The Group entered into a service agreement under Offline Joint-Operated business model. The Group believes that, based on the agreement, there is an identified asset and the Group controls the right to use the asset during the lease period. Therefore, the service agreement contains a leaseand the Group treats is as a lease. Estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the future accounting periods, are described below. Impairment of financial instruments The Group uses the expected credit loss model to assess the impairment of financial instruments. The application of the expected credit loss model requires significant judgements and estimates and consideration of all reasonable and supportable information, including forward-looking information. When making such judgements and estimates, the Group infers the expected changes in the debtor's credit risk based on historical repayment data combined with economic policies, macroeconomic indicators, industry risks and other factors. Different estimates may affect the impairment provision, and the amount of impairment provision made may not equal to the actual amount of impairment loss in the future. Impairment of non-current assets other than financial assets The Group assesses whether there are any indications of impairment for all non-current assets other than financial assets at the balance sheet date. Other non-current assets other than financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indications that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from it . The calculation of the fair value less costs of disposal is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the assets. When the calculations of the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or asset group are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or asset group and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Further details are included in Note VII.42。 196 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 31. Other Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) Estimation uncertainty (continued) Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. Variable consideration involving sales returns The Group makes reasonable estimate of a group of contracts with similar characteristics according to the historical sales data, the current sales situation, as well as customer changes, market changes and other relevant information. The estimated return rate may not be equal to the actual return rate in the future and the Group reassesses the return rate at each balance sheet date and determines accounting based on the reassessed return rate. Inventory provision determined on net realisable value In accordance with the inventory accounting policy, the Group measures the lower of cost and net realizable value, and makes provision for inventory price decline when the cost is higher than the net realizable value. The Group restimates at each balance sheet date whether the net realizable value of individual inventory items is lower than the cost of inventory. Fair value of wealth management products and structured deposits The fair value measurement of non-principal protected floating income wealth management products and structured deposits linked to the spot exchange rate of EUR to USD requires the Group to estimate projected future cash flows, credit risk volatility and discount rates, and is therefore uncertain. Provisions for store recovery As the lessee, the Group undertakes the obligation to restore the leased assets to the state agreed in the lease terms in accordance the lease contract. The management estimates provsions arising from the fullfillment of recovery obligations based on industry conditions and historical experience. At the balance sheet date, management reviews the carrying amount of the provisions and makes appropriate adjustments to reflect the current best estimates. Share-based payments Based on fair value at the grant date, the Group makes the best estimate of the number of exercisable equity instruments based on subsequent information available at the latest available subsequent information at fair value at the grant date, and includes the services acquired in the current period in the relevant costs or expenses. Management must estimate the Group's projected future cash flows to assess the fair value of the equity instruments grant date and estimate the number of vestigable equity instruments. 197 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited V. Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 31. Other Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) Estimation uncertainty (continued) Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. According to the economic environment, the Group takes the observable interest rate as the reference basis for determining the incremental borrowing rate, then adjusts the observable interest rate based on its own circumstances, underlying assets, lease terms and amounts of lease liabilities to determine the applicable incremental borrowing rate. 32.

The Group's principal financial instruments include monetary funds, accounts receivable, other receivables, trading financial assets, debt investments, other current and non-current assets and short- term borrowings, notes payable and accounts payable, other payables and projected liabilities. Risks associated with these financial instruments and policies of the risk management to lowering the risks of the Group are summarised below. The Board is responsible for planning and establishing the Group's risk management structure, formulating the Group's risk management policies and relevant guidelines and overseeing the implementation of risk management measures. The Group has developed risk management policies to identify and analyse the risks to which the Group is exposed, which clearly define specific risks and cover many aspects such as market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk management. The Group regularly evaluates changes in the market environment and business activities of the Group to decide whether to update its risk management policies and systems. Risk management of the Group is carried out by the Risk Management Committee in accordance with the policies approved by the Board. The Risk Management Committee identifies, evaluates and mitigates relevant risks through close cooperation with other business units of the Group. The Group's internal audit department conducts regular audits of risk management controls and procedures and reports the results to the Group's Audit Committee. The Group diversifies the risk of financial instruments through appropriate diversification of invesment and business portfolio, and reduces the risk of concentration on specific counterparties by formulating appropriate risk management policies. Credit risk The Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. According to the Group's policy, all customers who require credit transactions are required to conduct a credit review. In addition, the Group continuously monitors the balance of accounts receivable to ensure that the Group does not face significant bad debt risks. These financial instruments have low credit risk because the counterparties of monetary funds and tradable financial assets are reputable banks with high credit ratings. Other financial assets of the Group include accounts receivable and other receivables whose credit risk derives from counterparty defaults and whose maximum exposure is equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Since the Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties, there is no requirement for collateral. Credit risk is centrally managed by industry. As at 31 December 2022, the Group had a specific credit risk concentration and 73.07% of the Group's accounts receivable (31 December 2021: 71.23%) were collected by the shopping malls. X. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED RISKS (continued) 246 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited 2.Risks of financial instruments (continued) Credit risk (continued) Determination of significant increase in credit risk At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether the credit risk on the relevant financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort, including qualitative and quantitative analysis based on historical data of the Group, external credit risk ratings and forward-looking information. Based on a single financial instrument or portfolio of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics, the Group determines expected changes in default risk within the duration of financial instruments through comparing the default risk occur at the balance sheet date with the one occur at the date of initial recognition. The Group determines that the credit risk of financial instruments has significantly increased when one or more of the following quantitative or qualitative criteria below are met: (1) Quantitative criteria are mainly the probability of default for the remaining duration of the reporting date increasing by more than a certain percentage since initial recognition; (2) Qualitative criteria are mainly the significant detrimental changes in the borrower’s operating or financial conditions, and early warning customer lists, etc. Definition of credit-impaired financial assets In assessing whether a financial asset is credit-impaired, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative indicators and adopts the standard of determination in line with internal credit risk management goal of the relevant financial instruments. The Group assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired by considering the following factors: (1) significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer; (2) a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; (3) the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider; (4) it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; (5) the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties of the issuer or borrower;or (6) Financial assets purchased or sourced at large discounts indicating credit losses have occurred. The impairment of financial assets may not be necessarily due to a single discrete event, he combined effects of multiple events may result in financial assets being credit-impaired. 247 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited X.

Equity Incentive scheme" (the "Incentive scheme") through a resolution of the shareholders' meeting, and the Company's first share option incentive scheme granted the Company the number of restricted shares to 15 incentive recipients through the Gongqingcheng Wendi No.1 Investment Management Partnership (Limited Partnership), the Gongqingcheng Wendi No.2 Investment Management Partnership (Limited Partnership) and the Gongqingcheng Wendi No.3 Investment Management Partnership (Limited Partnership)1,150,000 shares (after the Company’s conversion into a joint stock company, the number of restricted shares became 4,140,000 shares). Subsequently, the Company signed an equity grant notice with the incentive recipients on November 20, 2017, and the terms and conditions of the agreement between the enterprise and the employees on the share payment have been agreed, so the grant price is RMB 1.67 per share (which has been adjusted in proportion to the number of shares after the Company’s conversion into a joint stock company) with November 20, 2017 as the grant date. Gongqingcheng Wendi No.1 Investment Management Partnership (Limited Partnership), Gongqingcheng Wendi No.2 Investment Management Partnership (Limited Partnership) and Gongqingcheng Wendi No.3 Investment Management Partnership (Limited Partnership) set restrictive conditions, that is, on the listed date of the company, the incentive share held by the incentive recipients can meet the feasible rights conditions stipulated in the incentive scheme, and the Company's shares held by the incentive recipients shall not be transferred within one year from the date of listing on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

The second equity incentive scheme on November 20, 2019 also stipulates that this incentive scheme is applicable to the recipients of the first equity incentive scheme. This change extends the service period of the first share option incentive recipients, which is not conducive to the change of incentive recipients, so the Company still recognizes share-based payment expenses for the first incentive scheme in accordance with the feasible conditions before the amendment. (3)Modification of the second share option incentive scheme and newly granted restricted stock On March 11, 2020, the Company passed the resolution of the second extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in 2020, approving the amendment of the second share option incentive scheme "DR Corporation Limited Equity Incentive Scheme", which added that in the case of the incentive recipients leaving the Company within 5 years and the Company has been listed, the incentive share held by the incentive recipients vesting after years of service since the grant date meets the feasible right conditions. Subject to the fact that the conditions for listing within 5 years of the Company can be met, the amendment acts as a number of separate share-based payment schemes, recognizing share-based payment expenses during their respective vesting periods. At the same time, pursuant to the revised second equity incentive scheme, the Group granted 810,000 new restricted shares to two incentive recipients through Gongqingcheng Wendi No. 1 Investment Management Partnership (Limited Partnership) on March 11, 2020 at a grant price of RMB1.67 per share. On April 6, 2022, one incentive recipient of the original second share option incentive scheme left the company, and the recognized share-based payment expense of RMB199,566.87 was reversed in 2022. Based on the fair value of restricted stock at the time of grant and the estimated exercise date and turnover rate assessed by the valuation firm engaged by the Company according to the income method, the total share-based payment expenses recognized for the second share option incentive scheme in 2022 and the newly granted restricted stock are RMB561,317.20 (2021: RMB2,144,727.27). 255 2022 Annual Report of DR Corporation Limited XIII.
