China’s health undertakings made new significant achievements and the construction of healthy China accelerated. This year, the pharmaceuticals industry underwent all-sector, full-chain and full-coverage system governance, while industry-friendly policies were introduced frequently amidst challenges and opportunities. Driven by policy support, scientific and technological innovation, and market demand, the pharmaceutical industry system witnessed notable optimization and upgrading, with innovation-led and high-quality development emerging as the prevailing theme. In retrospect of 2023, Joincare adhered to its dual-drive strategy of innovative medicines and high- barrier complex formulations, focusing on the high-quality development of the principal pharmaceutical business. Overcoming challenges, Joincare not only achieved substantial achievements in research, production, and marketing, but also enhanced its overall R&D capabilities and innovation levels by leveraging business development channels to swiftly expand its R&D and innovation pipeline reserves, which laid a solid foundation for the Group to achieve comprehensive innovative transformation. Facing various challenges such as price reductions in key varieties due to volume-based procurementand intensified competition in the APIs market, all employees of the Group worked diligently and unitedly and made concerted efforts to achieve the Group’s annual business objectives. In 2023, the Group realized total revenues of RMB16.646 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 2.90%; realized a net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company of RMB1.443 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 3.99%; and realized a net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company after deduction of the extraordinary gains and losses of RMB1.374 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 3.18%. We firmly believe that robust performance is the cornerstone of creating value for shareholders and we are committed to providing shareholders with excellent returns. Based on the operating results and overall financial position of the Group in 2023, the Board of Directors proposed that we continue to adopt a stable profit distribution scheme in 2023. Specifically, a cash dividend of RMB1.80 (tax inclusive) for every 10 shares will be distributed to all shareholders of the Company, based on the total number of shares on the equity registration date designated by the annual profit distribution plan for 2023. No bonus shares will be distributed and no conversion of capital reserve into share capital will be carried out. The profit distribution scheme for 2023 is yet to be reviewed and approved at the Company’s 2023 Annual General Meeting. In 2023, the Group further carried out and practiced the dual-drive strategy of innovative medicines and high-barrier complex formulations, implemented differentiated R&Dstrategy, and created a diversified product matrix and a rich pipeline. In terms of R&D innovation, the Group adhered to a development philosophy centered on R&D innovation, and differentially deployed innovative medicines and high-barrier complex formulations through self-research and introduction to achieve high-quality development.

Adhering to the mission of “For the health, For the future” and the vision of “diligently make high-quality and innovative drugs”, the Company has been committed to the pharmaceutical business and been strengthening R&D, production, marketing and management of medical products, to strive to become a domestic leading integrated pharmaceutical enterprise with capacity for independent innovation and international competitiveness in terms of production, technology and management in the near future. Analysis of business information on pharmaceutical manufacturing industry 1. Basic information on industry and main drugs (products) (1). Basic information on industry √Applicable □N/A 1. Influence of industry policies The year 2023 marks the first year for fully implementing the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress, a critical year for comprehensively building a modern socialist country and marching towards the second Centenary Goal, and the third year of the 14th Five-Year Plan. China has issued a number of planning documents to make top-level plans for the development of pharmaceutical industry inthe future. The major policies that had a significant impact on the Company are as follows: ① Revitalization and development of traditional Chinese medicine In February 2023, the State Council issued the Notice on the Implementation Plan of Major Projects for the Revitalization and Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (《中医药振兴发展重大 工程实施方案的通知》), which further increases support for the development of traditional Chinese medicine and strive to promote the revitalization and development of traditional Chinese medicine during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. In April 2023, the National Health Commission issued the Implementation Plan of Programs on Promoting the Culture of Traditional Chinese Medicine During the 14th Five-Year Plan Period (《“十四五”中医药文化弘扬工程实施方案》), which further defines the supporting measures and the division of work under the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (《“十四五”中医药发展规划》). ② Key Work Points of 2023 Healthy China Initiative In March 2023, the Office for Promoting Healthy China Initiative and its member entities and other relevant entities have formulated the Key Work Points of 2023 Healthy China Initiative (《健康中 国行动2023年工作要点》), with an aim to promote the implementation of all actions, ensure the achievement of all tasks and goals as scheduled and protect the all-round and full-cycle health of the public. ③ Adjustment of the catalog of medicines covered by medical insurance 44 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 In December 2023, the National Healthcare Security Administration issued the National Drug Catalog for Basic Medical Insurance, Work-Related Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance (2023) (《国家基本医疗保险、工伤保险和生育保险药品目录(2023年)》), effective from 1 January 2024. In this round of adjustment, a total of 126 drugs were added to the Catalog and a drug was removed from the Catalog. A total of 143 drugs not included in the Catalog participated in negotiations or bidding, of which 121 drugs succeeded. The negotiation success rate was 84.6% and the average price reduction was 61.7%, which were basically the same as those in 2022. ④ Routine operation of volume-based procurement Since 2018, the National Healthcare Security Administration has carried out nine batches of centralized procurement of pharmaceuticals, which covers a total of 374 drugs with an average price reduction of over 50%. China organized the centralized volume-based procurement of pharmaceuticals in a routine and institutionalized manner, and the ninth batch of centralized drug procurement has been conducted. While continuously exploring and optimizing the rules, China has established a sound centralized procurement plan. In the future, the national volume-based procurement will be refined to enhance the quality and efficiency of the whole process, and focus on the refined management of centralized drug procurement especially in early volume reporting, circulation and procurement, and clinical use. ⑤ Centralized rectification campaign of the pharmaceutical industry In July 2023, the National Health Commission held a joint video conference with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Public Security, the National Audit Office, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the State Administration for Market Regulation, the National Healthcare Security Administration, the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration and the National Medical Products Administration, which arranged a one-year nation-wide centralized rectification campaign to address corruption issues in the pharmaceutical industry. The centralized rectification focused on six aspects: (i) the administrative departments in the pharmaceutical sector which use power to seek for benefits; (ii) “key persons” and key positions in medical and health institutions, and kickback-based sales of medicines, equipment and consumables; (iii) social organizations under the management and guidance of the administrative departments in the pharmaceutical sector which use the conveniences of work to seek profits; (iv) issues related to the use of medical insurance funds; (v) pharmaceutical production and operation companies which conduct illegal behaviors in the purchase and sales; and (vi) medical personnel who violate the Nine Principles for Integrity-based Practices of Workers in Medical Institutions (《医疗机构工作人员 廉洁从业九项准则》). Through measures such as self-examination and self-correction, centralized rectification, and overall rectification, China has conducted a systematic governance covering all areas, the entire chain and full spectrum against prominent corruption issues in the pharmaceutical industry, and has established and improved a series of long-term mechanisms to secure the effective 45 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 results. Response measures: The Company will take effective measures to cope with major changes in policies of the pharmaceutical industry through early layout, transformation, and compliance, and constantly improve its core competitive strength. Meanwhile, the Company will actively increase the research, development and innovation of new products, drive development through R&D, continuously optimize and adjust the product structure, strenuously apply for medical insurance coverage, maintain the competitive sales of large varieties, strengthen the market development of new and potential varieties, and promote sales to lower-tier markets, so as to expand sales scale, and create more competitive advantages of products. The Company will also improve the production quality management, standardize the safe and environmentally friendly production, further refine the compliant management system and mechanism, operate in compliance with regulations, and establish a more reasonable market-oriented system in order to establish its own advantageous position and core competitiveness. II. Basic information on the sector where the Company operates The Company is primarily engaged in the R&D, production and sale of hundreds of varieties of pharmaceutical products and health care products in areas such as chemical pharmaceuticals, biologics, chemical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), TCM, and health care products. Basic information on the market niches in which the Company operates are follows: Chemical pharmaceuticals: In recent years, influenced by policies regarding medical insurance payment control, volume-based procurement and consistency evaluation, chemical pharmaceuticals have recorded a slower growth in revenues and profit. The market of chemical pharmaceuticals is relatively competitive as there are many domestic manufacturers. However, innovative drugs and high-barrier formulations will become an industry trend and an important source of profits thanks to low competitive pressure and continuous support from national policies. The Company's chemical pharmaceuticals cover many therapeutic fields with competitive strengths in product varieties, sales channels, end user groups and brand awareness. In the future, the Company will speed up research and development, introduce new technologies, and accelerate the product structure optimization and strategic planning to cope with the increasingly fierce market competition. Biologics: Biologics include monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, recombinant therapeutic proteins and other biological therapies. Globally, the development of biologics has been relatively late compared to chemical pharmaceuticals products, and it is only in the last 40 years that they have entered the large-scale industrialization stage. However, due to the safety, efficacy, and other clinical needs met by biologics that chemical pharmaceuticals could not satisfy, the biologics industry has grown rapidly in recent years, especially in emerging markets such as China, where the biologics industry is growing at a much faster rate than the general pharmaceutical industry. China's biologics market is still in a period of unstable segment structure, continued increase in unmet clinical needs, more 46 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 frequent technology iteration, and rapid growth of emerging segments such as monoclonal antibodies. LivzonBio is the primary biopharmaceutical R&D platform of the Company and principally engages in the independent innovative R&D and commercialization of biopharmaceuticals, including innovative mAbs (monoclonal antibodies), mAb biosimilars, bispecific antibodies, antibody drug conjugates, CAR-T cell therapies, etc., with its products covering multiple fields such as tumor, autoimmune disease, vaccine, etc. Chemical APIs: At present, the Company has the following chemical APIs: cephalosporin series, statin series, and carbapenem series among others. Restricted by heavy investment, long construction period, high technical threshold and strict environmental protection requirements, the bulk API market in China is relatively concentrated. However, overcapacity causes fierce competition. To adapt to future competition, the Company gradually completed the transformation and upgrading from bulk APIs to high-end characteristic APIs, from nonstandard market to standardized market and from domestic market to international market. Meanwhile, in an effort to further implement the Implementation Plan to Promote the High-quality Development of the API Industry issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in November 2021, the Company strengthened forward-looking research layout to accelerate high-quality development of APIs under new background. Since October 2020, the Company has focused on building a research and development platform in synthetic biology with AI integrated to promote green, low-carbon transformation of the industry, to give more added value to pharmaceutical intermediates and APIs, and to accelerate integration into the global industrial chain and value chain. Traditional Chinese medicine: In recent years, the traditional Chinese medicine has experienced a sustained influx of favorable policies and refined regulatory frameworks. In terms of policies, China increased its support for traditional Chinese medicine from the top-level design, and shifted its policies from the overall long-term planning in the past to more specific guidance including medical insurance payment, optimization of review and approval rules, and encouragement of traditional Chinese medicine innovation. The 14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine released in 2022 is the first five-year plan for traditional Chinese medicine issued in the name of the State Council, further clarifying China’s determination to develop traditional Chinese medicine. Since 2023, the traditional Chinese medicine industry also benefited from a large number of major favorable policies, including the Special Provisions on the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine Registration (《中药注册管理专门规定》) and the Several Measures on Further Strengthening the Scientific Supervision of Traditional Chinese Medicine to Promote the Inheritance, Innovation and Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which provide a vast space for the development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry. Traditional Chinese medicine stands as a cornerstone of the Company’s traditional strengths. Flagship products such as Shenqi Fuzheng Injection and Anti-Viral Granules represent key traditional Chinese medicines of the Company. In the future, the Company will make every effort 47 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 to develop an innovative R&D platform for traditional Chinese medicine to further strengthen the research and development of innovative traditional Chinese medicine products and continuously diversify the product pipeline of the Company. Diagnostic reagents and equipment: As China's healthcare industry develops gradually, in vitro diagnostic reagents industry is seeing a bigger market but remains in primary stage compared with developed countries such as European countries and America. With more product varieties and more advanced technologies, in vitro diagnostic reagents are used in more scenarios, from traditional hospital laboratories to third-party medical diagnostic institutions, physical examination centers, families, and other primary healthcare institutions. More application scenarios make the demand for different kinds of in vitro diagnostic reagents fully released, promoting rapid development of the industry. Since its establishment, Livzon Diagnostics, controlled by Livzon Group (a holding subsidiary of the Company), has been committed to the R&D, production and sales of diagnostic reagents and equipment. After years of efforts and development, it has built a multi-faceted technical platform that supports ELISA test, colloidal gold rapid test, chemiluminescence assay, multiplex liquid-chip assay, and nucleic acid assay. It has strong market influence in such fields as respiratory infection, infectious diseases, and drug concentration monitoring. Some of its products hold big market shares in China. Health care products: Driven by increasing public awareness of wellness, aging, consumption upgrading and promotion of direct sales, health care industry has developed rapidly in recent years. However, due to low technical threshold and high gross profit, the domestic market is highly competitive with serious product homogeneity issues and low market concentration. The Company’s well-known health care foods brands such as “Taita” (太太),“ Jingxin” (静心) and “Eagle's” (鹰牌) deeply rooted in people's minds and have high market awareness. Faced with intense market competition, while staying committed to traditional pharmaceutical chain channels, the Company also actively expands online channels through strategic cooperation with new social e-commerce sales platforms to drive sales growth. In addition, the Company actively prepares to access to fields of functional food by leveraging its R&D and market strengths to enrich product pipelines and enhance core competitiveness. 48 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 (2).

Among these, the salaries of R&D personnel are allocated to R&D expenses based on project hours. Equipment, production lines, and premises shared between R&D activities and other production operations are allocated to R&D expenses based on the proportion of hours or area utilized. Expenditures on an internal research and development project are classified into expenditures on the research phase and expenditures on the development phase. Expenditures on the research phase shall be recognized in profit or loss for the current period when incurred.

(IV) Potential risks √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Risks of changes in industrial policies The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is significantly affected by changes in industrial policies. The pharmaceutical industry will face great challenge in development in the future with continuous deepening of medical reform, advancement of supply-side structural reform in the industry, revision of Drug Administration Law, acceleration of consistency evaluation of generic drugs, adjustment of the new edition of National Reimbursement Drug List, expansion of volume- based procurement, centralized rectification of the pharmaceutical industry and other industrial policies that have been successively launched. In November 2023, the Company’s key product Levosalbutamol Hydrochloride Nebulizer Solution (盐酸左沙丁胺醇雾化吸入溶液) was selected in the ninth batch of national volume-based drug procurement. This is expected to be implemented in March 2024 and it is anticipated to have a significant impact on the sales price and market share of this product. Response measures: The Company will pay close attention to industry dynamics and reforms, cope with major changes in policies of the pharmaceutical industry through early planning, transformation and compliance, and further establish and improve its compliant operation mechanism and system. It will actively strengthen new product R&D and innovation and constantly improve its core competitive strengths. Meanwhile, the Company actively engages in the access to the national reimbursement drug list and negotiation, and continue to increase the coverage of hospitals and sales, to realize the objective of “price for quantity”, so as to reduce the impact of price adjustment on the Company’s steady growth. The volume-based drug procurement is becoming a regular practice. In the face of the volume-based drug procurement and the possible impact on the business performance of the Company, the Company will continue to enhance its innovative efforts, boost its competitive edge, and strive to ensure the stable operation of the business. With the Company’s new high-barrier complex formulations, represented by inhalation formulations, being launched on the market, commercialization will gradually enter a stable contribution period. The Company’s product structure will be further optimized, and the reliance on specific products will also gradually reduce. In the future, relying on combining independent R&D, external introduction and cooperative development, the Company will continue to innovate and develop clinically needed innovative drugs with substantial added value, as well as high-barrier complex formulations. It will delve into products with market potential and technological barriers, actively advance post-market evaluations for key products, and conduct consistency evaluations for related products. The Company will continuously optimize its product portfolio and actively explore and expanding into international markets to promote the sustained and steady development of sales performance. 2. Market risk With advancement of supply-side structural reform in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and two invoice policy in circulation domain, pharmaceutical market structure is deeply changed. With the gradual standardization and centralization of the market, competition in the pharmaceutical industry becomes increasingly fierce. Affected by increasingly stricter drug regulation, policy-based drug price reduction, price cutting during bidding, medical insurance premium control, and minimum procurement commitment of the pharmaceutical industry in current stage, bid winning price of drugs will be further lowered, competition among enterprises in the industry will be intensified, and price war will occur frequently, thus the Company will be at the risk of drug price reduction. 75 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 Response measures: The Company will establish a more reasonable market system through strict compliance operation so as to maintain its dominant position and core competitive strengths, and ensure that it can achieve sustainable and steady development and improve its profitability by reinforcing marketing. Meanwhile, the Company will offset the impact of product price reduction by means of price supplement based on quantity, and optimize technical process and reduce production costs through internal exploration and transformation. Moreover, the Company will speed up the R&D and marketing of new products, spread risks of the Company while expanding the range of existing products in segment markets, improve sales and form new profit growth point by increasing product varieties in the future. 3. Risk of safety and environmental protection The Company is an integrated pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprise. During production, it implements relevant chemical synthesis process and uses a large number of acid and alkali and other chemical components, which are inflammable, explosive, toxic, irritant and corrosive, and have hidden hazards of fire, explosion and poisoning, posing certain risks to the production and operation of the Company. As environmental protection policies and regulations have been constantly issued in recent years, environmental protection standards have become more stringent, and the state has strengthened its control over pollutants, risks of environmental protection of the Company are increasing. Response measures: The Company has always obeyed the safety work concept of “Putting People First” and the guideline of “Safety First, Precaution Crucial and Comprehensive Treatment”. It will strengthen the construction of safe production infrastructure and ensure a sound environment for safe production of the Company through regular internal audit of safety and environment systems as well as employee safety education and training. The Company will carry out discharge after treatment and reaching standards in accordance with environmental protection provisions, actively accept supervision and inspection of environmental protection authorities, and try to reduce emission and increase expenditures in environmental protection by improving production process and promptly updating environmental protection technology. 4. Risk in price and supply of raw materials There is a larger fluctuation in the supply price of some raw materials of the Company due to changes in material prices, especially the materials of traditional Chinese medicine, causing greater volatility or rise in production costs of the Company. Meanwhile, the quantity and category of raw material suppliers of the Company are various, thus quality of final products of the Company will be directly affected by the selection of raw material suppliers and the guarantee and control of quality of raw materials. Response measures: In terms of selection of suppliers, the Company will conduct an open tendering and bidding based on the principle of selecting qualified suppliers, strengthen audit of suppliers, and eliminate the adulteration of adverse suppliers. The Quality Assurance Department and Supply Department of the Company will directly conduct process control of products provided by suppliers of key raw materials and carry out quality inspection and control of final products 5. Risk of R&D for new drugs New drug R&D is characterized by high input, high risk and long period. The State has frequently issued drug R&D related policies in recent years to further enhance approval work requirements of new drugs for marketing, thus bringing certain risks for new drug R&D of the Company. Meanwhile, promotion of drugs after marketing is affected by national regulations, industry policies, market environment and competitive intensity, causing that income obtained after marketing of new drugs cannot reach the expected income, making the Company at risk of product R&D. 76 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 Response measures: The Company will focus on innovative medicines and high-barrier complex formulation, pay attention to unmet clinical needs, and continuously invest in innovative research and development. The Company will further improve the R&D and innovation systems, introduce and develop high-end talents, proactively carry out cooperation and introduction of overseas innovative medicines, strengthen market research and evaluation of varieties, reinforce the process regulation and risk management of the initiation of R&D projects, and concentrate efforts and make key breakthroughs in the R&D of core products. At the same time, the Group’s advantages in APIs will be fully utilized to reinforce the integration of API and drug formulations to ensure the long- term sustainable development of the Company.

Auditor's Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Industry Co., Ltd. (健康元药业集团股份有限公司) (the “Group”), which comprise the Consolidated and Company balance sheets as at 31 December 2023, and the Consolidated and Company income statements, the Consolidated and Company cash flow statements, the Consolidated and Company statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the year ended 2023, and notes to the financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Consolidated and Company financial positions as at 31 December 2023, and their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. II. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with China Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the China Code of Ethics for Certified Public Accountants. 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 for the current year. 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. (I) Revenue recognition 155 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 For relevant disclosure, please refer to Note III. 29 and Note V. 43 to the financial statements. 1. Description of the matter The Group generated revenue from primary operation in year ended 31 December 2023 were RMB 16,521.72 million. We identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter due to the materiality of revenue to the financial statements as a whole and the risk of material misstatement as to the occurrence and accuracy for in the appropriate accounting period. 2. Addressed in the context of our audit (1) We obtained an understanding of and assessed the Company management's design and operating effectiveness of key internal controls over revenue recognition. (2) We obtained the contracts signed between the Company and its customers and verified the key terms of the contracts, such as shipment and acceptance, payment and settlement, exchange and return policies. (3) We inquired about the business registration information of the Company's customers and asked relevant personnel of the Company in order to confirm whether there was an affiliated relationship between the Company and its customers; obtained an understanding of the reasons for customer changes and contract performance among others; counted and analyzed end sales of products purchased by selected customers from the Company based on the business system of the Company's directly connected customers. (4) We obtained records of returns and exchanges in the Company's business system and checked them to confirm whether there were significant abnormalities that affected revenue recognition. (5) We selected samples from sales transaction records in 2023 to check contracts, purchase orders, shipping documents, transportation documents, bookkeeping vouchers, payment records, and periodic reconciliation letters, and performed external confirmation procedures on major customer sales and accounts receivable. (6) We performed analytical procedures for the reasonableness on changes in revenue by considering the product type and factors such as market trends, industry trends, business expansion plan as well as market data collected by third-party consultants. (7) We selected samples of revenue transactions around the balance sheet date, reviewed sales contracts, purchase orders, shipping documents, transportation documents, and bookkeeping vouchers, and evaluated whether revenues were recorded in the appropriate accounting period. (II) Allowance for bad debts on accounts receivable 156 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 For relevant disclosure, please refer to Note III. 10 and Note V. 4 to the financial statements 1. Description of the matter As of 31 December 2022, the Group's closing balance of accounts receivable as reported in the consolidated balance sheet was RMB2,779.25 million and the allowance for bad debts was RMB 86.31 million which were material to the financial statements as a whole. The management is required to apply significant accounting estimates and judgments in assessing the expected recoverable amount of accounts receivable, which could have a material impact on the financial statements if they were not collected on time or were not recovered resulting in a bad debt loss. Therefore, we identified allowance for bad debts of accounts receivable as a key audit matter. 2. Addressed in the context of our audit (1) We obtained an understanding of and assessed the management's design and operating effectiveness of key internal controls over the management of accounts receivable (2) We obtained an understanding of the methodology and process of recognizing the expected credit loss ratio and the key parameters and assumptions applied in the expected credit loss model, including the method of assessing the customers' credit risk characteristics for the grouping accounts receivable and the historical migration rate data used in the expected loss ratio; evaluated whether the expected credit loss ratio was set by taking into account and was appropriately adjusted for current economic conditions and forward-looking information, and assessed the reasonableness of the estimate of the allowance for bad debts. (3) We obtained a schedule of allowance for bad debts on accounts receivable and checked whether the calculation method was implemented in accordance with the policy for bad debts; and recalculated the amount of allowance for bad debts to ensure its accuracy. (4) We analysed the ratio of the closing balance of allowance for bad debts to accounts receivable and compared the allowance for bad debts in the previous period to the actual amount, and analyzed whether the allowance for bad debts on accounts receivable was adequate. (5) We evaluated the reasonableness of the allowance for bad debts by analyzing the aging of accounts receivable and the reputation of customers, and performing audit procedures such as audit confirmation and subsequent collection of receivables. IV. Other Information Management of the Company is responsible for the other information. The other information 157 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 comprises the information included in the Company’s 2023 annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. V. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements to achieve fair presentation in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and for the design, implementation and maintenance of such internal control as management determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, 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 management either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have 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 auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 158 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism 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. (3) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by 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, the auditing standards require us to draw attention to users of the financial statements 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. 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. 159 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 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.

Accounting treatment for business combinations involving enterprises under common control and business combinations involving enterprises not under common control (1) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control For the business combination involving entities under common control, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured based on their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party as at the combination date. The difference between the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination and the net assets acquired is adjusted against share premium in the capital reserve, with any excess adjusted against retained earnings. Business combination involving enterprises under common control and achieved in a number of transactions In the separate financial statements, the initial investment cost will be recognised at the carrying amount of the Company's share in the combined party's net assets in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. The difference between the initial investment cost and the sum of the carrying amount of the investment held and the carrying amount of consideration paid for the combination at the combination date is adjusted against share premium in the capital reserve, with any excess adjusted against retained earnings. In the consolidated financial statements, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured based on their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party as at the combination date. The difference between sum of the carrying amount of the investment held and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination and the carrying amount of the net assets acquired is adjusted against share premium in the capital reserve, with any excess adjusted against retained earnings. For long-term equity investment held before the control over the combined party is obtained, profit or loss, other comprehensive income and other changes to equity interest attributable to the owners recognised from the later of the acquisition of the original equity interest and the date when the combing party and the combined party are placed under common control until the date of combination shall be offset against retained profit at the beginning of the period of the comparative financial statements or profit or loss of the period respectively. (2) Business combinations involving enterprises not under common control For the business combinations involving enterprises not under common control, the combination cost shall be the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities 179 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 issued by the acquirer for acquisition of control in the acquiree on the acquisition date. The assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed on the date of acquisition are recognised at fair value. Where the combination cost exceeds the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets in the business combination, the difference is recognised as goodwill and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment provisions. Where the combination cost is less than the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets in the business combination, the difference shall be included in profit or loss for the period after review. Business combination involving enterprises not under common control and achieved in a number of transactions In the separate financial statements, the initial cost of the investment is the sum of the carrying amount of the acquiree's equity investment held before the acquisition date and the additional investment cost on the acquisition date. In respect of the equity investment held prior to the acquisition date, other comprehensive income will not be recognised using equity method on the acquisition date, and such investment will be accounted for on the same accounting treatment as direct disposal of relevant asset or liability by the investee at the time of disposal. Shareholder's equity recognised due to the changes of other shareholder's equity other than the changes of net loss and profit, other comprehensive income and profit distribution shall be transferred to profit or loss for current period when disposed. If the equity investment held prior to the acquisition date is measured at fair value, the cumulative changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income shall be transferred to retained earnings when accounted for using cost method. In the consolidated financial statements, the combination cost is the sum of consideration paid on the acquisition date and fair value of the acquiree's equity held prior to the acquisition date. The equity of the acquirees held before the acquisition date is re-measured at the fair value of the equity on the acquisition date and the differences between the fair value and the carrying amount are recognised in the income for the current period; in respect of any other comprehensive income attributable to the equity interest in the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date and any changes of other shareholder's equity shall be transferred to investment profit or loss for current period on the acquisition date, except for the other comprehensive income arising from changes in net liabilities or net assets of defined benefit plans remeasured by investees and other comprehensive income related to non-derivative equity instrument investments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. (3) Transaction fees attribution during the combination The intermediary and other relevant administrative expenses such as audit, legal and valuation advisory for business combinations are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Transaction costs of equity or debt securities issued as the considerations of business combination are included in the initial recognition amounts. 7. Basis in determination of control and preparation of the consolidated financial statements (1) Basis in determination of control The scope of consolidated financial statements is determined based on control. Control means the Company has exposures or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and the ability to affect those returns through power over such investee. When changes in relevant facts and circumstances lead to alterations in the elements involved in the definition of control, the Company will conduct a reassessment. In assessing whether to include structured entities within the consolidation scope, the company 180 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 integrates all facts and circumstances, including evaluating the purpose and design of the structured entity, identifying the types of variable returns, and assessing whether it bears some or all of the variability of returns by participating in its related activities, to determine if control over the structured entity exists. (2) Method for preparation of the consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements are based on the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, and are prepared by the Company in accordance with other relevant information. In preparing the consolidation financial statements, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to apply consistent accounting policy and accounting period, intra-group transactions and balances shall be offset. A subsidiary or a business acquired through a business combination involving entities under common control in the reporting period shall be included in the scope of the consolidation of the Company from the date when it is under control of the ultimate controlling party, and then its operating results and cash flows will be included in the consolidated income statement and the consolidated cash flow statement, respectively. For a subsidiary or a business acquired through a business combination involving entities not under common control in the reporting period, its income, expenses and profits are included in the consolidated income statement, and its cash flows are included in the consolidated cash flow statement from the acquisition date to the end of the reporting date. The shareholders' equity of the subsidiaries that are not attributable to the Company shall be presented under shareholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet as minority interests. The portion of net profit or loss of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interest is presented in the consolidated income statement under the “profit or loss of minority interest”. When the amount of loss attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders' portion of the opening balance of owners' equity of the subsidiary, the excess amount shall be allocated against minority interest. (3) Purchase of the minority stake in the subsidiary The difference between the long-term equity investments costs acquired by the purchase of minority interests and the share of the net assets that the subsidiaries have to continue to calculate from the date of purchase or the date of consolidation in proportion to the new shareholding ratio, and the difference between the disposal of the equity investment without losing control over its subsidiary and the disposal of the long-term equity investment corresponding to the share of the net assets of the subsidiaries from the date of purchase or the date of consolidation, shall be adjusted to the capital reserve (or share premium), if the capital reserve is not sufficient, any excess will be adjusted to retained earnings. (4) Treatment of loss of control of subsidiaries Where the Company loses its control over the original subsidiary due to the disposal of some equity investment or other reasons, the remaining equity is re-measured at its fair value on the date when the Company loses its control. The difference between the sum of the consideration acquired due to the disposal of the equity and the fair value of the remaining equity, and the Company's share in the sum of carrying value of net assets of the original subsidiary and goodwill calculated on an ongoing basis from the acquisition date based on the original shareholding proportion is recognised in the investment income for the current period when the control is lost. Other comprehensive income related to equity investments in the original subsidiary should be 181 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 accounted for using the same basis as the direct disposal of related assets or liabilities of the original subsidiary upon loss of control. Any equity changes related to the original subsidiary under the equity method of accounting should be transferred to the profit or loss for the current period when control ceases. (5) Treatment of disposal through several transactions until the loss of control of subsidiaries Where the Company disposes of the equity interests in the subsidiary through several transactions until it loses control, and the transaction terms, conditions and economic effects satisfy one or several of the following circumstances, such several transactions shall be deemed as a basket of transactions in accounting treatment: ① Such transactions are entered into simultaneously or upon the consideration of the mutual impacts; ② No complete commercial result will be realised without such transactions as a whole; ③ The occurrence of one transaction depends on the occurrence of at least another transaction; ④ The result of an individual transaction is not economical, but it would be economical after taken into account of other transactions in the series. In the separate financial statements, where the Company disposes of the equity investment in the subsidiary through several transactions until the loss of control, and such transactions are not regarded as “a basket of transactions”, the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment involving each disposal will be carried forward, with the difference between the disposal price and the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment involving the disposal being accounted into the investment incomes for the current period; where the transactions constitute “a basket of transactions”, the difference between the consideration of each disposal and the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment involving the disposal before the loss of the control, is recognised as the other comprehensive income and will be carried forward to the profit or loss for the current period when the control is lost. In the consolidated financial statements, where the Company disposes of the equity investment in the subsidiary through several transactions until the loss of control, the measurement of the remaining equity interest and the accounting treatment of the losses and gains of the disposal will be made with reference to the “Treatment of loss of control of subsidiaries” as described above. For the difference between the consideration of each disposal before the loss of the control and the carrying amount of the Company's share in the net assets involving the disposal of such subsidiary calculated on an on- going basis from the acquisition date, the treatment will be made as follows: ① In case the transactions are “a basket of transactions”, such difference is recognised as the other comprehensive income and will be carried forward to the profit or loss for the current period when the control is lost. ② In case the transactions are not “a basket of transactions”, such difference is accounted into the capital reserve (or share premium) as equity, and shall not be carried forward to the profit or loss for the current period when the control is lost. 8. Classification of joint arrangement and accounting treatment for joint operation A joint arrangement is an arrangement jointly controlled by two or more parties. The Company's joint arrangement is classified into the joint operation and the joint venture. (1) Joint operation 182 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the Company have rights and obligations to the relevant assets and liabilities. The Company recognises the following items in relation to its interest in a joint operation, and makes corresponding accounting treatment in accordance with relevant accounting standards: A. The solely-held assets, and the share of any assets held jointly; B. The solely-assumed liabilities, and its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; C. Its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; D. Its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; E. The solely-incurred expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. (2) Joint ventures A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Company only entitled to the net assets of the arrangements. The Company's investment in joint ventures is accounted for using the equity method according to the rules of the long-term equity investment. 9. Determination of cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents of the Company include cash on hand, bank deposit readily available for payment and those investments held by the Company that are short-term (normally due in three months since the acquisition date), highly liquid, readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 10. Foreign currency transactions and translation of financial statements in foreign currency (1) Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions incurred by the Company are translated to the functional currency at the spot exchange rates on the date of the transactions upon initial recognition. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to functional currency at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the differences between the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date and those spot rates used on initial recognition or at the previous balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss for the current period; non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical cost are translated using the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated using the spot exchange rate on the date the fair value is determined; the resulting exchange differences between the amounts in functional currency upon translation and in original functional currency are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. (2) Translation of financial statements in foreign currency At the balance sheet date, when translating the foreign currency financial statements of overseas subsidiaries, the assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date; all items except for “Retained earnings” of the shareholders' equity are translated at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. The revenue and expenses in profit or loss are translated at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. 183 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 All items in the statement of cash flows are translated at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. The effect of exchange difference on cash is adjusted and separately presented as “Effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents” in the cash flow statement. The exchange differences arising from translation of the financial statements are presented as the “other comprehensive income” in the shareholders' equity of the balance sheet. When the Company disposes of the overseas operation and loses control, the differences arising from the translation of the financial statements in foreign currency that have been presented under the shareholders' equity in the balance sheet and involving such overseas operation are carried forward to the profit or loss for the current period in whole or in the proportion of the disposal of the overseas operation. 11. Financial instruments Financial instruments are contracts creating financial assets of a party and financial liabilities or equity instruments of other parties. (1) Recognition and Derecognition of financial instruments A financial asset or financial liability is recognised when the Company becomes one of the parties under a financial instrument contract. The financial assets will be derecognised if any of the following conditions is satisfied: ① The contractual right to receive the cash flow of the financial assets is terminated; ② The financial assets have been transferred and the transferred financial asset satisfies the following conditions of derecognition. If the current obligation of a financial liability (or a part thereof) has been discharged, the financial liability (or that part of the financial liability) will be derecognised. When the Company (as the debtor) and the lender have signed an agreement which uses a new financial liability to replace the existing financial liability, and the contract terms of the new financial liability are substantially different with the original financial liability, the original financial liability shall be de-recognised, and the new financial liability shall be recognised at the same time. The regular transactions of the financial assets are recognised and derecognised at the transaction date. (2) Classification and measurement of financial assets The Company classifies financial assets into three categories: financial assets at amortised cost; financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss based on the business model for managing financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics upon initial recognition. Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value. For financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are directly recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. For other categories of financial assets, transaction costs are included in the initial recognition amount. Accounts receivable arising from the sale of products or services, which do not include or consider a significant financing component, are initially recognized at the expected amount to be received. Financial assets at amortised cost The Company shall classify financial assets that meet the following conditions and are not designated as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the current period as financial assets measured at amortised cost: 184 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 The Company's business model for managing the financial assets is to collect contractual cash flow; The terms of the financial asset contract stipulate that the cash flow generated on a specific date is only the payment for principal and interest accrued on the outstanding principal. After initial recognition, these financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from financial assets which are measured at amortised cost and not part of any hedging relationship are included in the profit and loss of the current period upon de-recognition, amortisation using the effective interest method, or impairments recognition. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income The Company shall classify financial assets that meet the following conditions and are not designated as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss for the current period as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income The Company's business model for managing the financial assets is both to collect contractual cash flows and to sell the financial assets; The terms of the financial asset contract stipulate that the cash flow generated on a specific date is only the payment for principal and interest accrued on the outstanding principal After initial recognition, these financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest, impairment losses or gains and exchange losses and gains calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profit or loss for the current period, while other gains or losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative profit or loss previously included in other comprehensive income will be transferred to the profit or loss for the current period upon derecognition of the financial assets. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the current period In addition to the above financial assets which are measured at amortised cost or at fair value a through other comprehensive income, the Company classifies all other financial assets as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss for the current period. When initial recognition, in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatches, the Company irrevocably designates some financial assets that should have been measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the current period. After initial recognition, these financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value, and the profits or losses (including interest and dividend income) generated from which are recognised in profit or loss for the current period, unless the financial assets are part of the hedging relationship. However, with respect to non-trading equity instrument investments, the Company may irrevocably designate them as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income at initial recognition. The designation is made on the basis of individual investment, and the relevant investment conforms to the definition of equity instruments from the issuer's point of view. After initial confirmation, financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividend income that meets the requirements is recognised in profit and loss, and other gains or losses and changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive gains. When derecognised, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive gains are transferred from other comprehensive gains to retained earnings. The business model of managing financial assets refers to how the Company manages financial assets 185 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 to generate cash flow. The business model decides whether the source of cash flow of financial assets managed by the Company is to collect contract cash flow, sell financial assets or both of them. Based on objective facts and the specific business objectives of financial assets management decided by key managers, the Company determines the business model of financial assets management. The Company evaluates the characteristics of the contract cash flow of financial assets to determine whether the contract cash flow generated by the relevant financial assets on a specific date is only to pay principal and interest based on the amount of unpaid principal. Among them, principal refers to the fair value of financial assets at the time of initial confirmation; interest includes the consideration of time value of money, credit risk related to the amount of unpaid principal in a specific period, and other basic borrowing risks, costs and profits. In addition, the Company evaluates the terms and conditions of the contracts that may lead to changes in the time distribution or amount of cash flow in financial asset contracts to determine whether they meet the requirements of the above contract cash flow's characteristics. Only when the Company changes its business model of managing financial assets, all the financial assets affected shall be reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period after the business model changes, otherwise, financial assets shall not be reclassified after initial confirmation. (3) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities On initial recognition, the Company's financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities at amortised cost. For financial liabilities not classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the relevant transaction costs are included in the initially recognised amount. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition. Such financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value, all gains and losses arising from changes in fair value and dividend and interest expense relative to the financial liabilities are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Financial liabilities at amortised cost Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method; gains and losses arising from derecognition or amortisation is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Distinction between financial liabilities and equity instruments The financial liability is the liability that meets one of following criteria: ① Contractual obligation to deliver cash or other financial instruments to another entity. ② Under potential adverse condition, contractual obligation to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with other parties. ③ A contract that will or may be settled in the entity's own equity instruments and is a non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to deliver a variable number of the entity's own equity instruments. 186 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 ④ A derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the entity's own equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. If the Company cannot unconditionally avoid fulfilling a contractual obligation by delivering cash or other financial assets, the contractual obligation meets the definition of financial liability. If a financial instrument must or are able to be settled by the Company's own equity instrument, the Company should consider whether the Company's equity instrument as the settlement instrument is a substitute of cash or other financial assets or the residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. If the former, the tool is the Company's financial liability; if the latter, the tool is the equity instrument of the Company. (4) Derivative financial instruments and embedded derivatives The Company's derivative financial instruments include forward foreign exchange contracts, and are initially measured at fair value on the date of the derivative contract signed and are subsequently measured at fair value. A derivative with positive fair value shall be recognised as an asset, otherwise that with negative fair value shall be recognised as a liability. Any profit or loss arising from changes of fair value and not compliance with the accounting provision of hedge shall be recognised as profit or loss for current period. For the hybrid instrument which includes embedded derivatives, where the host contract is a financial asset, requirements in relation to the classification of financial assets shall apply to the hybrid instrument as a whole. Where the host contract is not a financial asset, and the hybrid instrument is not measured at fair value and its changes are included in the profit and loss for the current period for accounting purposes, there is no close relation between the embedded derivatives and the host contract in terms of economic features and risks, and the instrument that has the same condition with the embedded derivatives and exists independently meets the definition of derivatives, the embedded derivatives shall be separated from the hybrid instrument and treated as a separate derivative financial instrument. If it is unable to separately measure the embedded derivatives upon acquisition or on the subsequent balance sheet date, the hybrid instrument shall be entirely designated as the financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value and whose movements are included in the profit and loss of the current period. (5) Fair value of the financial instrument The methods for determining the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities are set out in Note III.12 (6) Impairment of financial assets The following items are subject to impairment accounting and recognition of loss allowances based on expected credit losses: A. Financial assets measured at amortised cost; B. Receivables and debt instrument investments that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; C. Contract assets as defined in the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 14 – Revenue; D. Lease receivables; 187 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 E. Financial guarantee contracts, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, those which the transfer of financial assets does not satisfy the derecognition condition or those formed as a result of continued involvement of the transferred financial assets. Measurement of expected credit loss (ECLs) The ECL is a weighted average of credit losses on financial instruments weighted at the risk of default. Credit loss is the difference between all receivable contractual cash flows according to the contract and all cash flows expected to be received by the Company discounted to present value at the original effective interest rate, i.e. the present value of all cash shortfalls. The Company takes into account reasonable and valid information on past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions, with the risk of default as the weight, to calculate the probabilistic weighted amount of the present value of the difference between the cash flow receivable from contract and the expected cash flow to be received and recognise the expected credit loss. The Company respectively measures the expected credit losses of financial instruments by different stages. If the credit risk of the financial instrument does not increase significantly since the initial recognition, it would be classified in Stage 1, the Company would measure loss allowance according to the future 12-month expected credit losses. If the credit risk of a financial instrument has significantly increased since the initial recognition but not yet credit-impaired, it would be classified in Stage 2, the Company would measure loss allowance according to the lifetime expected credit losses of that instrument. If the financial instrument has credit-impaired since the initial recognition, it would be classified in Stage 3, and the Company would measure loss allowance according to the lifetime expected credit losses of that instrument. For financial instruments with lower credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Company assumes that its credit risk has not increased significantly since the initial recognition, and measures loss allowance according to the 12-month expected credit losses. Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default event over the expected life of a financial instrument. Future 12-month ECLs are the portion of ECL that results from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within the 12 months after the balance sheet date (or the expected life of the instrument, if it is less than 12 months). The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company are exposed to credit risk (including the option to renew). For the financial instruments classified in Stage 1 and Stage 2 and those with lower credit risk, the Company would measure the interest income by the book balance (that is, without deduction for credit allowance) and the effective interest rate. For financial instruments classified in Stage 3, the Company would measure the interest income by the amortised cost (that is, book balance less impairment allowance) and the effective interest rate. For accounts receivable such as notes receivable, trade receivables, receivables financing, other receivables, contract assets, etc., if the credit risk characteristics of a particular customer significantly differ from those of other customers in the portfolio, or if there is a significant change in the credit risk characteristics of that customer, the Company individually provides for credit loss for that receivable. Apart from individually providing for credit loss for specific receivables, the Company divides receivables into portfolios based on credit risk characteristics and calculates credit losses on a portfolio basis. Notes receivable, trade receivables and contract assets For notes receivable, trade receivables and contract assets, regardless whether it has significant 188 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 financing components or not, the Company has always measured its loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. If the expected credit losses of an individual financial asset or contract asset cannot be estimated at a reasonable cost, the Company classifies notes receivable, trade receivables or contract assets into portfolios based on credit risk characteristics, and measures expected credit losses on portfolios basis to determine portfolios by the following basis: A. Notes receivable Bills receivable portfolio 1: Bank acceptance bills Bills receivable portfolio 2: Commercial acceptance bills B. Accounts receivables Accounts receivables portfolio 1: Amount due from domestic customers Accounts receivables portfolio 2: Amount due from overseas customers Accounts receivables portfolio 3: Receivables of consolidated companies Contract assets Contract assets portfolio: Sale of products For notes receivable or contract assets classified as portfolio, the Company measures expected credit losses based on the risk exposures of default and lifetime expected credit losses rate with reference to the historical credit loss experience, current situation and forecasts of future economic conditions. For accounts receivables classified as portfolio, the Company measures expected credit losses through preparing a table of concordance between the aging of trade receivables and lifetime expected credit losses rate with reference to the historical credit loss experience, current situation and forecasts of future economic conditions. The aging of accounts receivable is calculated from the date of recognition. Other receivables The Company classifies other receivables into certain portfolios based on credit risk characteristics, and measures expected credit losses on portfolios basis to determine portfolios by the following basis: Other receivables portfolio 1: Receivables of export tax refund Other receivables portfolio 2: Receivables of deposits under guarantee and security deposits and lease expenses Other receivables portfolio 3: Other receivables Other receivables portfolio 4: Receivables of consolidated companies For other receivables classified as portfolio, the Company measures expected credit losses based on the risk exposures of default and future 12-month or lifetime expected credit losses rate. For other receivables categorized by aging, the aging is calculated from the date of recognition. Long-term receivables The Company's long-term receivables include finance lease receivables and equity transfer receivables. The Company classifies finance lease receivables and equity transfer receivables into certain portfolios based on credit risk characteristics, and measures expected credit losses on portfolios basis to determine portfolios by the following basis: A. Finance lease receivables Portfolio of finance lease receivables: other receivables 189 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 B. Other long-term receivables Portfolio of other long-term receivables: equity transfer receivables For finance lease receivables and equity transfer receivables, the Company measures expected credit losses based on the risk exposures of default and lifetime expected credit losses rate with reference to the historical credit loss experience, current situation and forecasts of future economic conditions. For other receivables and long-term receivables other than finance lease receivables and equity transfer receivables that are classified as portfolio, the Company measures expected credit losses based on the risk exposures of default and future 12-month or lifetime expected credit losses rate. Debt investments and other debt investments For debt investments and other debt investments, the Company measures expected credit losses based on the nature of investments, counterparties and various types of risk exposures and the risk exposures of default and future 12-month or lifetime expected credit losses rate. Assessment of significant increase in credit risk By comparing the risk of default of financial instruments occurring on the balance sheet date and on the initial recognition date, the Company determines the relative changes in risk of default over the expected life of financial instruments and assesses whether the credit risk of financial instruments have increased significantly since the initial recognition. When determine whether credit risks have significantly increased since the initial recognition, the Company considers information that is reasonable and supportable, including forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. The information considered by the Company includes: Failure to make payments of principal or interest on debtors' contractually due dates; An actual or expected significant deterioration in a financial instrument's external or internal credit rating (if any); An actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of debtors; Existing or forecast changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have significant adverse effect on the debtors' abilities to repay to the Company. Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the Company assesses whether credit risks have significantly increased on either an individual financial instrument basis or a collective financial instrument basis. When the assessment is performed on a collective financial instrument basis, the Company can classify the financial instruments based on the shared credit risk characteristics, such as past due information and credit risk ratings. The Company determines that the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due. Credit-impaired financial assets The Company assesses whether financial assets at amortised cost and debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are credit-impaired at balance sheet date. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired' when one or more events that have an adverse impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable information: Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor; A breach of contract by debtor, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; 190 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 For economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, the Company having granted to the borrower a concession that would not otherwise consider; It is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties. Presentation of allowance for ECL The Company re-measures the ECLs on each balance sheet date to reflect changes in the financial instruments' credit risk since initial recognition, and the increase or reversal of the loss provision resulted therefrom is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the loss provision is offset against their carrying amounts in the balance sheet. For debt investments at FVOCI, the Company recognises the loss provision in other comprehensive income and does not deduct the carrying amount of the financial assets. Write-off The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. This is generally the case the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company's procedures for recovery of amounts due. Subsequent recoveries of an asset that was previously written off are recognised as a reversal of impairment in profit or loss in the period in which the recovery occurs. (7) Transfer of financial assets Transfer of financial assets refers to the transfer or delivery of financial assets to the other party (the transferee) other than the issuer of financial assets. The Company derecognises a financial asset only if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the transferee; the Company should not derecognise a financial asset if it retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. The Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, shows as the following circumstances: if the Company has forgone control over the financial assets, derecognise the financial assets and verify the assets and liabilities; if the Company retains its control of the financial asset, the financial asset is recognised to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognise an associated liability is recognised. (8) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities When the Company has the legal right to offset recognised financial assets and financial liabilities, and the legal right can be executed at present, and the Company has a plan to settle the financial assets and financial liabilities at the same time or at net amount, the financial assets and financial liabilities can be presented on the balance sheet after offsetting. Except for the above circumstances, financial assets and financial liabilities cannot be offset and shall be presented separately on the balance sheet. 12. Fair value measurement The fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company measures the relevant assets or liability at fair value supposing the orderly transaction of asset selling or liability transferring incurring in a principal market of relevant assets or liabilities. 191 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 In the absence of a principal market for the asset or liability, the Company assumes that the transaction takes place at the most advantageous market of relevant asset or liability. A principal market (or the most advantageous market) is the transaction market that the Company can enter into at measurement date. The Company implements the hypothesis used by the market participants to realise the maximum economic benefit in assets or liabilities pricing. If there exists an active market for the financial assets or financial liabilities, the Company uses the quotation on the active market as its fair value. For those in the absence of active market, the Company uses valuation technique to recognise its fair value. However, under limited circumstances, the Company may use all information about the results and operation of the investee obtained after the date of initial recognition to determine whether cost represents fair value. Cost may represent the best estimate of fair value of the relevant financial asset within the scope of distribution, and such cost represents the appropriate estimate of fair value within the scope of distribution. For non-financial assets measured at fair value, the Company should consider the capacity of the market participants to put the assets into optimal use thus generating the economic benefit, or the capacity to sell assets to other market participants who can put the assets into optimal use and generate economic benefit. The Company implements the valuation technique suitable for the current condition and supported by enough available data and other information, gives priority in use of relevant observable inputs, only the observable inputs cannot be obtained or impracticable before using unobservable inputs. For the assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on financial statements, fair value hierarchies are categorized into three levels as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement: Level 1: inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2: inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. At each balance sheet date, the Company re-evaluates the assets and liabilities recognised to be measured at fair value on the financial statements to make sure whether conversion occurs between fair value hierarchies. 13. Inventories (1) Classification of inventories The Company's inventories include raw materials, packaging materials, finished goods, work-in- progress, low-value consumables, subcontracting materials, merchandise goods, consumable biological assets and issued goods. (2) Method of costing The method of costing of the Company's inventories: Cost of finished goods are measured at planned cost, and material cost differences are carried forward at the end of the period to adjust planned cost to actual cost; other inventories are measured at actual cost on acquisition and raw materials received are accounted for by the weighted-average method; low-value consumables and packaging materials are amortised in full upon the use. (3) Determination basis and provision method for decline in value of inventories On the balance sheet date, the inventories are calculated at the lower of cost and the net realisable value. When its net realizable value is lower than its cost, a provision for inventory impairment is made 192 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventory minus the estimated costs to complete, estimated selling expenses, and related taxes. In determining the net realizable value of inventory, reliable evidence is used as a basis, while also considering the purpose of holding the inventory and the impact of subsequent events after the balance sheet date. Provision for inventory impairment is made on an item-by-item basis. For inventory with large quantities and low unit prices, inventory impairment is provided based on inventory categories. For inventory related to product lines produced and sold in the same region, with similar or identical final uses or purposes, and difficult to measure separately from other items, inventory impairment is combined. On the balance sheet date, if the factors that previously impaired the value of inventory have disappeared, the provision for inventory impairment is reversed within the originally provided amount. (4) Inventory system The Company maintains a perpetual inventory system. (5) Amortisation methods of consumables and packaging materials Low-value consumables and packaging materials of the Company are amortised in full when used. 14. Held for sale and discontinued operations (1) Recognition and accounting treatment of non-current assets or the disposal group held for sale Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if the Company recovers its book value mainly by selling (including the exchange of nonmonetary assets with commercial substance) rather than continuing to use it. The aforesaid non-current assets do not include investment property measured with the basis of fair value; the biological assets measured with the basis of fair value less selling costs; the assets formed by employee benefits; financial assets and the right arising from deferred income tax assets and insurance contracts. A disposal group is a group of assets to be disposed through sale or other means as a whole in a single transaction, and liabilities directly associated with those assets that will be transferred in the transaction. In certain circumstance, disposal groups include the goodwill obtained through business combination. Non-current assets and disposal groups that meet the following conditions are classified as held for sale: according to the practice of disposing of this type of assets or disposal groups in a similar transaction, a non-current asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale at its present condition; the sale is likely to occur, that is, a decision has been made on a sale plan and a determined purchase commitment is made, and the sale is expected to be completed within one year. Where the loss of control over the subsidiaries is due to the sales of investment in subsidiaries, no matter whether the Company retains part of the equity investment after selling or not, the investment in subsidiaries shall be classified as held for sale in the separate financial statements when it satisfies the conditions for category of held for sale; all assets and liabilities of subsidiaries shall be classified as held for sale in the consolidated financial statements. The difference between carrying amount of non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale and the net amount of fair value less selling costs shall be recognised as impairment loss on assets upon initial measurement or when such noncurrent assets or disposal groups are remeasured at the balance sheet date. For the amount of impairment loss on assets recognised in disposal groups, the 193 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 carrying amount of disposal groups' goodwill shall be offset against first, and then offset against the carrying amount of non-current assets according to the proportion of carrying amount of the individual non-current assets in the disposal groups. If on a subsequent balance sheet date, the net amount of the fair value of a held-for-sale disposal group less its selling costs increases, the amount reduced previously shall be recovered, and reversed in the asset impairment loss recognised on the noncurrent asset which is applicable to the measurement requirements of Held-For-Sale Standards after the non-current asset is classified into held-for-sale category. The reversed amount is credited to current profit or loss. The carrying value of goodwill which has been offset cannot be reversed. No depreciation or amortisation is provided for the non-current assets in the held-for-sale and the assets in the disposal group held for sale. The interest on the liabilities and other costs in the disposal group held for sale is recognised continuously. As far as all or part of investment in the associates and joint ventures is concerned, for the part classified into the held-for-sale category, the accounting with equity method shall be stopped, while the remaining part (which is not classified into the held for- sale category) shall still be accounted for using the equity method. When the Company loses the significant influence on the associates and joint venture due to the sale, the use of equity method shall be ceased. When certain non-current asset or disposal group classified into the held-for-sale category no longer meets the classification criteria for held-for-sale category, the Company shall stop classifying it into the held-for-sale category and measure it according to the lower of the following two amounts: ① The carrying amount of the asset of disposal group before it was classified into the held-for-sale category after being adjusted with the depreciation, amortisation or impairment that could have been be recognised if it was not classified into the held-for-sale category; ② The recoverable amount. (2) Determination of discontinued operation Discontinued operation refers to the component meeting one of the following conditions that has been disposed of by the Company or classified by the Company into the held-for-sale type and can be identified separately: ① The component represents an independent principal business or a separate principal business place. ② The component is a part of the related plan for the contemplated disposal of an independent principal business or a separate principal business place. ③ The component is a subsidiary acquired exclusively for the purpose of resale. (3) Presentation The Company presents the non-current assets held for sale and the assets in the disposal group held for sale under “assets classified as held for sale”, and the liabilities in the disposal group held for sale under “liabilities classified as held for sale” in the balance sheet. The Company presents the profit and loss for continuing operation and profit and loss for discontinued operation in the income statement, respectively. The impairment loss and reversal amount and disposal profit and loss of the non-current assets held for sale or disposal group not meeting the definition of discontinued operation will be presented as the profit and loss of continuing operation. The operating profit and loss (such as impairment loss and reversal amount) and disposal profit and loss of the discontinued operation will be presented as the profit and loss of the discontinued operation. 194 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 The disposal group proposed for retirement rather than sale and meeting the condition about the relevant component in the definition of the discontinued operation will be presented as discontinued operation from the date of retirement. For the discontinued operation reported in the current period, the information formerly presented as profit and loss of continuing operation will be presented as the profit and loss of discontinued operation for the comparable accounting period in the financial statement of the current period. If the discontinued operation no longer meets the classification criteria for held for- sale category, the information formerly presented as profit and loss of discontinued operation will be presented as the profit and loss of continuing operation for the comparable accounting period in the financial statement of the current period. 15. Long-term equity investment The long-term equity investment includes the equity investment in the subsidiary, joint ventures and associates. The investee over which the Company has significant influence is the associates of the Company. (1) Determination of initial investment cost The long-term equity investment resulting from corporate merger: For the long-term equity investment resulting from merger of companies under the same control, the carrying amount of the ownership equity of the merged party obtained on the merger date presented in the consolidated financial statement of the final controlling party will be used as the investment cost. For the long-term equity investment resulting from merger of companies under different controls, the merger cost will be used as the investment cost of the long-term equity investment. The long-term equity investment obtained by other means: For the long-term equity investment obtained by paying cash, the actually paid purchase price will be used as the initial investment cost. For the long term equity investment obtained by issuing equity securities, the fair value of the issued equity securities will be used as the initial investment cost. (2) Subsequent measurement and recognition method of profit or loss The investment in subsidiary will be accounted for using cost method, unless the investment meets the criteria of held-for-sale category. The investment in associates and joint venture will be accounted with equity method. For the long-term equity investment accounted for using cost method, except for the price actually paid upon the investment or the cash dividend or profit in the consideration that has been declared but not released, the cash dividend or profit declared and distributed by the investee is recognised as the investment income and recorded into the profit and loss for the current period. For the long-term equity investment accounted for using equity method, the investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall not be adjusted if the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is higher than the Company's share in the fair value of the identifiable net value of the investee at the time of investment; if the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is lower than the Company's share in the fair value of the identifiable net value of the investee at the time of investment, the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment will be adjusted, with the difference recorded into the profit and loss for the current period of investment. When accounted for using the equity method, return on investment and other comprehensive income are recognised according to the share in the investee's realised net profit or loss and other comprehensive income respectively, and the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment is adjusted. The carrying amount of the long-term equity investment will be deducted according to the 195 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 profit distribution declared by the investee or cash dividend attributable to the Company. The carrying amount of long term equity investment will be adjusted for changes to equity interest attributable to the owners of the investee other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, and recorded into capital reserve (other capital reserve). The Company's share of the net profit or loss of the investees will be recognised after adjustment of the net profit of the investees according to the accounting policy and accounting period of the Company on the basis of fair value of all identifiable assets of the investee on acquisition. If the Company is able to exert significant influence or implement joint control (which does not constitute control) on the investee through additional investment or other reason, the sum of the fair value of the original equity plus the additional investment cost will be used as the initial investment cost, which will be accounted for with equity method, on the conversion date. The difference between the fair value of the original equity on the conversion date and its carrying amount, and the accumulated change of fair value recorded into other comprehensive income will be transferred into the profit and loss for the current period, which will be accounted for using equity method. If an entity loses joint control or has no significant influence over investees due to the elimination of parts of the equity investment, the surplus equity after disposal shall be recognised in accordance with “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments”, and the difference between fair value and carrying amount should be recognised as profit or loss for current period. Other comprehensive income of original equity investment recognised under equity method shall be recognised in accordance with the same foundation used by the investees when dispose the relevant assets or liabilities directly in the termination of equity method. Other changes of owners' equity related to the original equity investment shall be transferred into profit or loss for current period. If an entity loses control over investees due to the elimination of parts of the equity investment, the surplus owners' equity that is able to implement joint control or have significant influence over investees shall be measured at equity method and are deemed to be recognised under equity method since the acquisition date. The surplus owners' equity that are unable to implement joint control or have no significant influence over investees shall be processed in accordance with “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments”, and the difference between fair value and carrying amount at the day of loss of control shall be recognised as profit or loss for current period. If the shareholding ratio of the Company is reduced due to the increase of capital of other investors, and thus the control is lost, but the joint control or significant influence can be exerted on the invested entity, the Company should recognise net asset according to the new shareholding ratio. The difference between the original book value of the long-term equity investment corresponding to the decrease in the shareholding ratio should be included in the current profit and loss; then, according to the new shareholding ratio, the equity method is used to adjust the investment. The Company recognises the unrealised profit or loss of intra-transaction between the joint ventures or associates that belongs to itself according to the proportion of the shares and recognises the investment income or loss after offset. However, the loss arising from the unrealised intra-transaction between the Company and investees, which belongs to the impairment loss of assets transferred, cannot be offset. (3) Basis of determining common control and significant influence on the investee Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement under which the decisions relating to any activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. In determining whether there is a joint control, the first judge is to determine whether the relevant 196 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 arrangement is controlled collectively by all the parties involved or the group of the parties involved. Secondly, and then determine whether the decisions related to the basic operating activities should require the unanimous consent of the parties involved. If the parties involved or the group of the parties involved must act consistently to determine the relevant arrangement, it is considered that the parties involved or the group of the parties involved control the arrangement. If two or more parties involve in the collectively control of certain arrangement, it shall not be considered as joint control. Protection of rights shall not be considered in determining whether there is joint control. Significant influence refers to the power to participate in the decision making process for financial and operational policies of the investees without control or common control over the formulation of such policies. When determining whether it has significant influence over the investee, the influence of the voting shares of the investee held by the investor directly and indirectly and the potential voting rights held by the investor and other parties which are exercisable in the current period and converted to the equity of the investee, including the warrants, share options and convertible bonds that are issued by the investee and can be converted in the current period, shall be taken into account. When the Company owns directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries more than 20% (including 20%) but less than 50% of the voting shares of the investee, it is generally considered to have significant influence over the investee, unless there is clear evidence that it cannot participate in the production and operation decisions of the investee and does not have a significant influence under such circumstances. When the Company owns less than 20% (excluding) of the voting shares of the investee, it is generally not considered to have significant influence on the investee unless there is clear evidence that it can participate in the production and operation decisions of the investee and have significant influence under such circumstances. (4) Held-for-sale equity investment Refer to Note III. 14 for the relevant accounting treatment of the equity investment to joint ventures or associates all or partially classified as assets held for sale. The surplus equity investments that are not classified as assets held for sale shall be accounted for using equity method. The equity investment to joint ventures or associates already classified as held for sale no longer meets the conditions of assets held for sale shall be adjusted retroactively using equity method from the date of being classified as assets held for sale. (5) Impairment test and impairment provision Refer to note III. 23 for investment to subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and the impairment provision of assets. 16. Investment properties Investment properties are properties held to earn rental or capital appreciation or both. The investment properties of the Company include land use rights that have already been leased out, land use rights that are held for the purpose of sale after capital appreciation, buildings that have already been leased out, etc. Investment properties of the Company are measured initially at cost upon acquisition, and subject to depreciation or amortisation in the relevant periods according to the relevant provisions on fixed assets or intangible assets. The Company adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of the investment properties. The method for asset impairment provision is set out in note III. 23. 197 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 The balance after the disposal income from the disposal, transfer, scrapping or destruction of the investment properties deducts the book value and the relevant taxes shall be recorded into the profit and loss for the current period. 17. Fixed asset (1) Conditions for recognition of fixed assets The Company's fixed assets represent the tangible assets held by the Company using in the production of goods, rendering of services, rent and for operation and administrative purposes with useful life over one year. The fixed asset can be recognised only when the economic benefit related to the fixed asset is probable to flow into the company and the cost of the fixed asset can be reliably measured. The Company's fixed assets are initially measured at the actual cost at the time of acquisition. (2) Method of depreciation The Company adopts the straight-line method to provision for depreciation. Depreciation of fixed assets begins when they reach the status of intended use, and ceases to be depreciated when they are derecognized or classified as non-current assets held for sale. Without taking into account the provision for impairment, the Company determines the annual depreciation rates of various types of fixed assets according to the type of fixed assets, estimated useful life and estimated residual value as follows: Category Useful years (year) Annual depreciation Residual rate % Properties and Buildings 20 4.5%-4.75% 5%-10% Machine and equipment 10 9%-9.5% 5%-10% Transportation equipment 5 18%-19% 5%-10% Electric equipment and others 5-10 18%-19% 5%-10% Where, for the fixed assets for which depreciation provision is made, to determine the depreciation rate, the accumulated amount of the fixed asset depreciation provision that has been made shall be deducted. (3) Refer to note III. 23 for the impairment testing and the impairment provision of fixed assets. (4) Recognition basis, valuation and depreciation method of financial leased fixed assets When the Company's leased fixed assets meet one or more of the following criteria, it is recognized as finance leased fixed assets: ① At the expiration of the lease term, the ownership of the leased assets is transferred to the Company. ② The Company has the option to purchase leased assets. The agreed purchase price is expected to be much lower than the fair value of the leased asset when the option is exercised. Therefore, it can be reasonably determined that the Company will exercise this option on the lease start date. ③ Even if the ownership of the asset is not transferred, the lease term occupies most of the useful life of the leased asset. ④ The present value of the Company's minimum lease payment on the lease start date is almost equivalent to the fair value of the leased assets on the lease start date. ⑤The leased assets are of special nature, and only our company can use them if they don't undergo major transformation. 198 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 For fixed assets leased by finance leases, the lower of the fair value of the leased assets on the lease start date and the present value of the minimum lease payment shall be the entry value. The minimum lease payment is taken as the entry value of the long-term payable, and the difference is taken as the unrecognized financing expense. In the process of lease negotiation and signing of the lease contract, the initial direct costs attributable to the lease item, such as handling fees, attorney fees, travel expenses, stamp duty, etc., are included in the value of the leased asset. The unrecognized financing costs shall be amortized by the effective interest method during each period of the lease term. The fixed assets acquired by finance lease adopt the same policy as self-owned fixed assets to calculate the depreciation of leased assets. If it can be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset will be obtained at the end of the lease term, depreciation shall be accrued on the useful life of the leased asset; if it cannot be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset will be obtained at the end of the lease term, depreciation is accrued in the shorter of the lease period and the useful life of the leased asset. (5) The Company reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of fixed asset and the depreciation method applied annually at each of the period end. The useful lives of fixed asset are adjusted if their expected useful lives are different from the original estimates; the estimated net residual values are adjusted if they are different from the original estimates. (6) Overhaul costs The overhaul costs occurred in regular inspection of f are recognised in the cost of property, plant and equipment if there is undoubted evidence to confirm that they meet the recognition criteria of fixed assets, otherwise, the overhaul costs are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated during the intervals of the regular overhaul. 18. Construction in progress Construction in progress is measured at actual cost. Actual cost comprises necessary project expenditure incurred during construction, borrowing cost that are eligible for capitalisation and other necessary cost incurred to bring the fixed assets ready for their intended use. Basis for transferring construction in progress to fixed assets is as follows: Category Basis for transferring construction in progress to fixed assets (1) Main construction project and supporting works have been substantially completed. (2) Construction works have met the predetermined design requirements, verified and accepted by survey, design, construction, supervision, and other units. (3) Approved by fire safety, land administration, and Buildings and urban planning departments. (4) If GMP certification is required, it must pass the GMP on-site structures inspection and receive a GMP compliance inspection report. (5) For construction projects that have reached the predetermined status of use but have not yet undergone final settlement, fixed assets are transferred based on the estimated value according to the actual project cost from the date of reaching the predetermined usable state. Production and (1) The relevant equipment and other supporting facilities have been installed. (2) The equipment has ancillary been debugged and can maintain normal and stable operation for a period of time. (3) The production equipment equipment is capable of consistently producing qualified products for a period of time. (4) The requiring equipment has been verified and accepted by the asset management personnel and users. (5) If GMP installation and certification is required, it must pass the GMP on-site inspection and receive a GMP compliance debugging inspection report. 199 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 For provision for impairment of construction in progress, refer to note III. 23. In the balance sheet, the ending balance of construction materials is presented under “construction in progress”. 19. Borrowing costs (1) Recognition principle of capitalisation of borrowing costs For borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, they shall be capitalised and included in the cost of related assets; other borrowing costs are recognised as expenses and included in profit or loss when incurred. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs can commence only when all of the following conditions are satisfied: ① Expenditures for the asset incurred, capital expenditure includes the expenditure in the form of cash payment, transfer of non-cash assets or the interest bearing liabilities for the purpose of acquiring or constructing assets eligible for capitalisation; ② Borrowing costs incurred; ③ Activities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced. (2) Capitalisation period of borrowing costs Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying assets being acquired, constructed or produced become ready for their intended use or sale. The borrowing cost incurred after that is recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred and included in profit or loss for the current period. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is interrupted abnormally and when the interruption is for a continuous period of more than 3 months; the borrowing costs in the normally interrupted period continue to capitalise. (3) Calculation of the capitalisation rate and amount of borrowing costs The interest expense of the specific borrowings incurred at the current period, deducting any interest income earned from depositing the unused specific borrowings in bank or the investment income arising from temporary investment, shall be capitalised. The capitalisation rate of the general borrowing is determined by applying the weighted average effective interest rate of general borrowings, to the weighted average of the excess amount of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amount of specific borrowings. During the capitalisation period, exchange differences on foreign currency special borrowings shall be capitalised; exchange differences on foreign currency special borrowings shall be recognised as current profits or losses. 200 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 20. Biological assets (1) Determination of biological assets Biological assets refer to assets comprising living animals and plants. No biological asset shall be recognised unless it meets the conditions as follows simultaneously: ① An enterprise possesses or controls the biological asset as a result of past transaction or event; ② The economic benefits or service potential concerning this biological asset are likely to flow into the enterprise; ③ The cost of this biological asset can be measured reliably. (2) Classification of biological assets The Company’s biological assets are consumable biological assets which include traditional Chinese medical herbal plant species. The consumable biological assets refer to the biological assets held for sale, or biological assets to be harvested as agricultural products in the future, consisting of growing traditional Chinese medical herbal plant species. The consumable biological asset is initially measured at cost. The cost of any consumable biological assets by way of self-planting, self-cultivating, self-breading is the necessary cost directly attributable to this asset prior to the harvest, consisting of borrowing costs that meet the conditions of capitalisation. The subsequent expenses for the maintenance, protection and cultivation of a consumable biological asset after the harvest shall be included in the current profits or loss. The cost of a consumable biological asset shall, at the time of harvest or sale, be carried over at its book value by the weighted average method. (3) Impairment of biological assets If the net realisable value of the consumable biological assets is lower than their carrying amount, provision of impairment loss is made and recognised in the profit or loss for the current period as the excess of the carrying amount over the net realisable value. If the factors affecting the impairment of consumable biological assets no longer exist, the amount of write-down shall be resumed and shall be reversed from the original provision for the impairment loss before being recognised in the profit or loss for the current period. 21. Intangible assets An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance owned or controlled by the Company. An intangible asset is recognised only when all of the following conditions are satisfied: It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the intangible assets will flow to the enterprise; The cost of the intangible asset can be reliably measured. Intangible assets are initially measured at actual cost. The Company's intangible assets include land use rights, patents and proprietary technologies, software, trademark rights, etc. 201 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 Intangible assets are initially measured at historical cost, and the Company shall make judgement to determine the useful life of intangible assets upon acquisition. Intangible assets with finite useful life are amortised in the profit or loss over the estimated useful life, using the method that reflects the expected realisation of economic benefits associated with the asset, and if the expected realisation cannot be reliably determined, it is amortised using the straight-line method. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life is not amortised. Amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful life is as follows: Basis in determination Category Useful life Amortisation method Note of useful life Land use rights 30 to 50 years Land use period Straight-line method Patents and proprietary Shorter of estimated benefit period 1 to 10 years Straight-line method technologies and patent validity period software 2 to 10 years Estimated benefit period Straight-line method Shorter of estimated benefit period Trademark rights 5 years Straight-line method and trademark validity period other 10 years Estimated benefit period Straight-line method The useful life for an intangible asset with a finite useful life and the method of amortisation are reviewed at least once at the end of each financial year. If the useful life and amortisation method for the intangible assets are different from the previous estimate, the change of amortisation is recognised prospectively as the change of accounting estimate. When the Company estimates an intangible asset can no longer bring future economic benefits to the Company at the end of a period, the carrying amount in which should be reversed to profit or loss for the current period. Please refer to note III. 23 for the provision of impairment of intangible assets. 22. Research and development expenditures The research and development (R&D) expenses of our company consist of expenses directly related to R&D activities, including salaries of R&D personnel, direct input costs, depreciation and amortization of long-term assets, equipment debugging costs, amortization of intangible assets, expenses for outsourcing research and development, clinical trial expenses, and other expenses. Among these, the salaries of R&D personnel are allocated to R&D expenses based on project hours. Equipment, production lines, and premises shared between R&D activities and other production operations are allocated to R&D expenses based on the proportion of hours or area utilized. Expenditures on an internal research and development project are classified into expenditures on the research phase and expenditures on the development phase. Expenditures on the research phase shall be recognised in profit or loss for the current period when incurred. Expenditures on the development phase will be capitalised only when all of the following conditions are satisfied: it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; the Company intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; it can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate economic benefits, including proving that the intangible assets or the products produced by it will have markets, or the intangible assets for internal 202 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 use will be useful; there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the Company is able to use or sell the intangible assets; and expenditures on the development phase attributable to the intangible assets can be reliably measured. The development expenditures that do not satisfy the above conditions shall be recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Our research and development projects enter the development stage after meeting the above conditions and forming the project through the technical and economic feasibility studies. Capitalised expenditures on the development phase are shown as development expenditures on the balance sheet and reclassified as intangible assets on the date the project meets the intended purpose. Capitalisation conditions for specific research and development projects are as follows: ① For research and development projects that are not required to obtain clinical approvals, the period from the beginning of research and development to the pilot phase is treated as the research phase, and all expenditures shall be recognised in profit or loss for the current period when incurred; the period from the pilot phase to the obtaining of production approvals is treated as the development phase, and all expenditures shall be recognised as development expenditures and reclassified as intangible assets after the obtaining of production approvals. ② For research and development projects that require clinical approval, the period from the beginning of research and development to the obtaining of clinical approval is treated as the research phase, and all expenditures incurred shall be recognised in profit or loss for the current period when incurred; the period from the obtaining of clinical approval to the obtaining of production approval is treated as the development phase, and the expenditures shall be recognised as development expenditures and reclassified as intangible assets after the obtaining of production approval. ③ The purchase price of the purchased external technology or formula is recognized as development expenditures, and subsequent research and development expenditures are accounted for in accordance with ① and ② above. ④ The Company reviews the latest research and development status of each project at the end of each year and if the research and development project no longer qualifies for the development stage, the corresponding development expenditure are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. ⑤ Where it is impossible to differentiate the expenditures on the research phase and the expenditures on the development phase, all the research and development expenditures are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Please refer to note III.23 for the impairment testing methodology and impairment provision for intangible assets. 23. Impairment of assets 203 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 The impairment of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in the long-term equity investments, investment properties subsequently measured at cost, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of- use assets, intangible assets, etc. (Excluding inventories, deferred income tax assets and financial assets) are determined as follows: At the balance sheet date, the Company determines whether there may be evidence of impairment, if there is any, the Company will estimate the recoverable amount for impairment, and then test for impairment. For goodwill arising from a business combination, intangible assets with indefinite useful life and the intangible assets that have not yet ready for use are tested for impairment annually regardless of whether such evidence exists. The recoverable amount of an asset is determined by the higher amount of fair value deducting disposal costs and net present value of future cash flows expected from the assets. The Company estimates the recoverable amount based on individual asset; for individual asset which is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount, the recoverable amount of the asset group is determined based on the asset group involving the asset. The identification of the asset group is based on whether the cash flow generated from the asset group is independent of the major cash inflows from other assets or asset groups. When the asset or asset group’s recoverable amount is lower than its carrying amount, the Company reduces its carrying amount to its recoverable amount, the reduced amount is included in profit or loss, while the provision for impairment of assets is recognised. In terms of impairment test of the goodwill, the carrying amount of the goodwill, arising from business combination, shall be allocated to the related asset group in accordance with a reasonable basis at acquisition date. Those that are difficult to be allocated to related assets shall be allocated to related asset group. Related assets or assets group refer to those that can benefit from the synergies of business combination and are not larger than the Company’s recognised reporting segment. When there is an indication that the asset and asset group are prone to impair, the Company should test for impairment for asset and asset group excluding goodwill and calculate the recoverable amount and recognise the impairment loss accordingly. The Company should test for impairment for asset or the asset group including goodwill and compare the asset or asset group’s recoverable amount with its carrying amount, provision for impairment of assets shall be recognised when the recoverable amount of assets is lower than its carrying amount. Once impairment loss is recognised, it cannot be reversed in subsequent accounting periods. 24. Long-term deferred expenses The Company’s long-term deferred expenses measured at cost actually incurred and evenly amortised on straight-line basis over the expected beneficial period. For the long-term deferred expense items that cannot benefit in subsequent accounting period, their amortised value is recognised through profit or loss. 204 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 25. Employee compensation (1) The scope of employee compensation Employee compensation are all forms of remuneration and compensation given by the Company in exchange for service rendered by employees or the termination of employment. Employee compensation include short-term employee compensation, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits. Employee compensation include benefits provided to employees’ spouses, children, other dependants, survivors of the deceased employees or to other beneficiaries. According to liquidity, employment compensations are presented separately as “accrued payroll” item and “long-term employment compensation payable” item in the balance sheet. (2) Short-term employee compensation During the accounting period in which the employees render the related services, wages, bonuses, social security contributions (including medical insurance, injury insurance, maternity insurance, etc.) and house funding are recognised as liability and included in the profit or loss for the current period or related asset costs. (3) Post-employment benefits Post-employment benefit plans mainly include defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan refers to a post-employment benefit plan where the Company no longer bears further payment obligations after depositing fixed costs into an independent fund. The Company is only involved in Defined contribution plans. Defined contribution plans include basic pension insurance and unemployment insurance. During the accounting period in which the employees provide services, the amount payable calculated based on the defined contribution plan is recognized as a liability and is either recorded in the profit or loss of the current period or included in the cost of related assets. (4) Termination benefits The liability of employee compensation arising from termination benefits is recognised and included in profit or loss for the current period in the earlier date of the followings: The Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal; the Company recognises costs or expenses related to the restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits. For the implementation of the internal retirement plan for employees, the economic compensation before the official retirement date is a termination benefit. The wage of and social insurance contributions for the internally retired employee which would have incurred from the date on which the employee cease rendering services to the Company to the scheduled retirement date will be included in the profit or loss for the current period. Economic compensation after the official retirement date (such as normal pension) should be treated as post-employment benefits. 205 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 (5) Other long-term employee benefits When other long-term employee benefits provided to the employees by the Company are satisfied the conditions of a defined contribution plan, those benefits shall be accounted for in accordance with the relevant provisions of the above defined contribution plans. When the benefits are satisfied the conditions of a defined benefit plan, those benefits shall be accounted for in accordance with the relevant provisions of the above defined benefit plans, except that the “change in remeasurement of the net liability or net assets of the defined benefit plans” in the cost of the related employee compensation shall be included in profit or loss for the current period or related asset costs. 26. Provision for liabilities An obligation related to a contingency is recognised as a provision when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) The obligation is a present obligation of the Company; (2) It is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; (3) The amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the payment to settle the associated obligations and consider the relevant risk, uncertainty and time value of money. If the impact of time value of money is significant, the best estimate is determined as its present value of future cash outflow. The Company reviews the carrying amount of provisions at the balance sheet date and adjusts the carrying amount to reflect the best estimate. If the expenses for clearing of provisions is fully or partially compensated by a third party, and the compensated amount can be definitely received, it is recognised separately as asset. The compensated amount recognised shall not be greater than the carrying amount of the liability recognised. 27. Share-based payment and equity instruments (1) Accounting treatment of share-based payment Share-based payments are transactions in which equity instruments are granted or liabilities are assumed on the basis of equity instruments in order to obtain services from employees or other parties. Share-based payment is classified into equity-settled share-based payment and cash-settled share- based payment. ① Equity-settled share-based payment Equity-settled share-based payment is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted to employees. If vesting is conditional upon completion of services in the pending period or fulfilment of performance conditions, at each balance sheet date during the pending period, based on the best estimates of the number of vested equity instruments, the services received for the period are recognised as the costs or expenses on a straight-line basis. Instruments which are vested immediately upon the grant are included in relevant costs or expenses at the fair value of equity instruments on the date of grant and capital reserves are increased accordingly. 206 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 At each balance sheet date during the pending period, the Company makes the best estimate and revises the number of equity instruments expected to be exercisable based on subsequent information such as changes in the number of exercisable employees obtained from the latest available information. The effect of the above estimates is recognised as the relevant cost or expense in the current period, and capital surplus is adjusted accordingly. For the equity instruments granted under an equity-settled share-based payment for services from other parties, if the fair value of services received from other parties can be measured reliably, the fair value of the equity instruments is measured at the fair value of services from other parties on the grant date; if the fair value of services received from other parties cannot be measured reliably but the fair value of the equity instruments can be measured reliably, the fair value of the equity instruments on the date on which services are received shall be recognised as related costs or expenses, with a corresponding increase in owners' equity. ② Cash-settled share-based payment Cash-settled share-based payments are measured at the fair value of the liabilities (share-based or other equity instrument-based) assumed by the Company. Instruments which are vested immediately upon the grant are included in relevant costs or expenses at the fair value of liabilities assumed by the Company on the date of grant and liabilities are increased accordingly. If vesting is conditional upon completion of services in the pending period or fulfilment of performance conditions, at each balance sheet date during the pending period, based on the best estimates of the vesting situation, the services received for the period are recognised as the costs or expenses and corresponding liabilities at fair value of the liabilities assumed by the Company. At each balance sheet date and settlement date before the relevant liabilities are settled, the fair value of liabilities is re-measured and the resulting changes are included in the profit and loss for the current period. (2) Accounting treatment for amendment and termination of share-based payments When the Company modifies the share-based payment plan, and if such modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the increase in services received will be recognised accordingly following the increase in fair value of the equity instruments; if such modification increases the number of equity instruments granted, the increase in fair value of the equity instruments is recognised as a corresponding increase in service achieved. The increase in fair value of the equity instruments refers to the difference in fair value on the date of modification before and after the modification in respect of the equity instruments. If the modification reduces the total fair value of the share-based payments or adopts any form that is unfavorable to employees to modify the terms and conditions of the share-based payment plan, accounting treatment will be continued to be conducted in respect of the services received and the modification will be deemed to have never occurred, unless the Company had cancelled part or all of the equity instruments granted. 207 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 During the pending period, if the equity instruments granted are cancelled (except for failure to meet the non-market conditions of the vesting conditions), the Company will undertake an accelerated vesting in respect of the cancelled equity instruments that had been granted, include the remaining amount that shall be recognised during the pending period in the current profit and loss immediately and recognise capital reserve accordingly. Where employees or other parties are permitted to choose to fulfil non-vesting conditions but have not fulfilled during the pending period, the Company will treat the granted equity instruments as cancelled. (3) Accounting treatment for share-based payments involving the Company and the shareholders or the de facto controller of the Company For share-based payment transactions involving the Company and the shareholders or the de facto controller of the Company, the settlement enterprise and the enterprise receiving services (one under the Company while another external to the Company) shall follow the requirements below to conduct accounting treatment in the Company’s consolidated financial statements: ①For settlement enterprises settling through their own equity instruments, such share-based payment transaction will be treated as equity-settled share-based payment; except for this, such share-based payment transaction will be treated as cash-settled share-based payment. Where a settlement enterprise is an investor of an enterprise receiving services, the fair value of the equity instruments on the date of grant or the fair value of the liabilities that shall be assumed are recognised as long-term equity investment in the enterprise receiving services, at the same time, capital reserve (other capital reserve) or liabilities are recognised. ② Where an enterprise receiving services has no settlement obligations or grants its own equity instruments to employees, such share-based payment transaction will be treated as equity-settled share-based payment; where an enterprise receiving services has settlement obligations and grants equity instruments (other than its own) to employees, such share-based payment transaction will be treated as cash-settled share-based payment. For a share-based payment transaction occurring among enterprises under the Company where the enterprise receiving services and the settlement enterprise are not the same enterprise, such share- based payment transaction shall be recognised and measured in each of the respective financial statements of the enterprise receiving services and the settlement enterprise by reference to the above principles. 28. Preferred shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments (1) Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments The Company classifies the financial instrument or its components as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments at the initial recognition based on the contract terms of the issued financial instrument and the economic substance it reflects, instead of only in legal form, and combine the definition of financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments. 208 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 (2) Accounting treatment of preferred shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments The financial instruments issued by the Company are initially recognised and measured in accordance with the financial instrument standards; thereafter, interest or dividends are accrued or distributed on each balance sheet date and processed in accordance with relevant specific accounting standards for enterprises. That is, on the basis of the classification of the financial instrument issued, the accounting treatment of interest expenses or dividend distributions of the instrument is determined. For financial instruments classified as equity instruments, interest expenses or dividend distributions are treated as profit distribution of the Company, and repurchases and cancellations are treated as changes in equity; for financial instruments classified as financial liabilities, interest expenses or dividend distributions are in principle treated according to borrowing costs, and gains or losses arising from repurchase or redemption are credited to profit or loss for the current period. The transaction costs such as charges and commissions incurred by the Company when issuing financial instruments, if classified as debt instruments and measured at amortised cost, are included in the initial measurement amount of the issued instrument; if classified as equity instruments, are deducted from equity. 29. Revenue (1) General principle The Company shall recognise revenue when the Company satisfies the performance obligation of the contract, that is, the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services. When the contract contains two or more performance obligations, on the effective date of the contract, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the percentage of respective unit price of a good or service guaranteed by each performance obligation, and the revenue is measured according to the transaction price allocated to each performance obligation. If one of the following conditions is fulfilled, the Company satisfies a performance obligation over time; otherwise, it satisfies a performance obligation at a point in time: ① When the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company when the Company performs its obligations under the contract. ② When the customer is able to control the commodity in progress in the course of performance by the Company under the contract. ③ The product produced by the Company under the contract is irreplaceable and the Company has the right to payment for performance completed to date during the term of the contract. For a performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company shall recognise revenue over time by measuring the process towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. When the progress of performance cannot be reasonably determined, if the costs incurred by the Company are expected 209 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 to be recoverable, the revenue will be recognised to the extent of the costs incurred until the progress of performance can be reasonably determined. For a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time, the Company shall recognise revenue when the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services. When determining whether the customer has obtained control of the goods and services, the Company will consider the following indications: ① The Company has the current right to receive payment for the goods or services, which is when the customers have the current payment obligations for the goods. ② The Company has transferred the legal title of the goods to the client, which is when the client possesses the legal title of the goods. ③ The Company has transferred the physical possession of goods to the customer, which is when the customer obtains physical possession of the goods. ④ The Company has transferred all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, which is when the client obtains all of the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer. ⑤ When the customer has accepted the goods or services. ⑥ When other information indicates that the customer has obtained control of the goods. A contract asset represents the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that it has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on factors other than passage of time, for which the loss allowances for expected credit loss is recognised (see Note III.11(6) ). The Company shall present any unconditional (i.e. if only the passage of time is required) rights to consideration separately as a receivable. A contract liability is the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer. The contract assets and liabilities under the same contract shall be shown on a net basis. If the net amount stated in debit balance, it will be presented under the items of “Contract assets” or “Other non- current assets” according to its mobility; If the net amount stated in credit balance, it will be presented under the items of “Contract liabilities” or “Other non-current liabilities” according to its mobility. (2) Specific method The Company enters into sales contracts with customers. Revenue from sales is recognised according to the invoiced amount upon the delivery of goods to the designated carrier or purchaser according to the orders received from customers; revenue from export sales is recognised mainly by adopting FOB mode according to custom declaration upon making declaration for goods and completing the export procedures. The Company offers consistent credit terms to all types of customers, with no significant financing 210 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 component involved. The Company operates on a buyout sales model with distributors, and revenue recognition under the distribution model is consistent with the direct sales model. For sales with sales return provisions, revenue recognition is limited to the amount expected not to result in significant returns based on the cumulative revenue recognized. The Company recognizes liabilities based on the expected refund amount, while recognizing an asset for the expected value of returned goods at the time of transfer, net of estimated costs (including the value impairment of returned goods). 30. Contract costs Contract costs are either the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer or the costs to fulfil a contract with a customer. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that the Company incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained e.g. an incremental sales commission. The Company recognises as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects to recover those costs. Other costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when incurred. If the costs to fulfil a contract with a customer are not within the scope of inventories or other accounting standards, the Company recognises an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria: ① The costs relate directly to an existing contract or to a specifically identifiable anticipated contract, including direct labour, direct materials, allocations of overheads (or similar costs), costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer and other costs that are incurred only because the Company entered into the contract; ② The costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future; ③ The costs are expected to be recovered. Assets recognised for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and assets recognised for the costs to fulfil a contract (the “assets related to contract costs”) are amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the assets relate and recognised in profit or loss for the current period. The Company recognises an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset related to contract costs exceeds: ① Remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates; 211 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 ② The cost estimated to be happened for the transfer of related goods or services. The costs of contract performance recognised as assets, if the amortisation period is less than one year or a normal operating cycle upon the initial recognition, are presented as “Inventories” item, and if the amortisation period is more than one year or a normal operating cycle upon the initial recognition, are presented as “Other non-current assets” item. The contract obtaining costs recognised as assets, if the amortisation period is less than one year or a normal operating cycle upon the initial recognition, are presented as “Other current assets” item, and if the amortisation period is more than one year or a normal operating cycle upon the initial recognition, are presented as “Other non-current assets” item. 31. Government grants A government grant shall be recognised only when the enterprise can comply with the conditions attaching to the grant and the enterprise can receive the grant. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, the item is measured at the amount received. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a non-monetary asset, the item is measured at fair value, when fair value is not reliably determinable, the item is measured at a nominal amount of RMB1. Government grant related to assets represents the government grant received for acquisition and construction of long term assets, or forming long term assets in other ways. Except for these, all are government grant related to income. Regarding to the government grant not clearly defined in the official documents and can form long term assets, the part of government grant which can be referred to the value of the assets is classified as government grant related to assets and the remaining part is government grant related to income. For the government grant that is difficult to distinguish, the entire government grant is classified as government grant related to income. The government grant related to assets is recognised as deferred income and would be transferred to profit or loss in reasonable and systematic manner within the period of use of the relevant assets. The government grant related to income which is used to compensate the relevant costs or losses incurred should be recognised in the profit or loss for the current period; the government grant related to income which is used to compensate the relevant costs or losses for the subsequent period is recognised as deferred income and shall be recognised in profit or loss during the relevant cost or loss confirmation period. Government grants measured in nominal terms are directly included in the profit or loss for the current period. The Company has adopted a consistent approach to the same or similar government grant business. The government grants related to daily activities are recognised as other gains in accordance with the substance of economic business. Government grants that are not related to daily activities are 212 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 recognised as non-operating income and expenses. If the recognised government grants need to be refunded, adjust the carrying amount of assets when the carrying amount of assets is offset at the time of initial recognition; the balance of deferred income is offset against the carrying amount of the balance of deferred income and the excess is recognised in the profit or loss for the current period. Other circumstances, it is directly recognised in the profit or loss for the current period. 32. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities Income tax comprises of current tax and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to transactions or items recognized directly in equity and goodwill arising from a business combination. Temporary differences arising from the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax base are recognized as deferred tax using the balance sheet liability method. All the taxable temporary differences are recognized as deferred tax liabilities except for those incurred in the following transactions: (1) Initial recognition of goodwill or initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is neither a business combination nor affects accounting profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss) when the transaction occurs; (2) The taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, and The Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The Company recognizes a deferred tax asset for the carry forward of deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits to subsequent periods, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilized, except for those incurred in the following transactions: (1) The transaction is neither a business combination nor affects accounting profit or taxable profit (or deductible loss) when the transaction occurs (Except for single transactions resulting in equal temporary differences and deductible temporary differences arising from initially recognized assets and liabilities); (2) The deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, the corresponding deferred tax asset is recognized when both of the following conditions are satisfied: it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and it is probable that taxable profits will be available in the future against which the temporary difference can be utilized. At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, and their tax effect is reflected. 213 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset. If it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will not be available in future periods to allow the benefit of the deferred tax asset to be utilized, the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reduced. Any such reduction in amount is reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented as a net amount after offsetting when they simultaneously meet the following conditions: (1) The legal right exists for the tax-paying entity within the Company to settle current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities on a net basis. (2) Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same tax-paying entity within the Company. 33. Leases (1) Identification of leases At the inception of a contract, the Company, as a lessee or lessor, assesses if the customer in a contract has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified assets and the right to direct the use of the identified assets in the period of use. The Company would identify that a contract is a lease, or contains a lease if a party of the contract transfers the right to control the use of one or more identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. (2) The Company as the lessee At the inception of a lease, the Company recognises all its leases as the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, except for the short-term leases and the leases of low-value assets which are treated with a simplified approach. For the accounting policies on the right-of-use assets, please refer to Note III. 34. Lease liabilities are initially measured based on the present value of outstanding lease payment at the inception of a lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payment include: fixed payments and in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentives (if there is a lease incentive); variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate; the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; payments of penalties for terminating the lease option, if the lease term reflects that the lessee will exercise that option; and amounts expected to be payable under the guaranteed residual value provided by the lessee. The Company shall subsequently calculate the interest expenses of lease liabilities over the lease term at the fixed periodic interest rate, and include it into the profit or loss for the current period. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they actually arise. 214 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 Short-term lease Short-term lease refers to the lease that the lease term does not exceed 12 months from the inception of a lease, and the lease that includes the option of purchase is not a short-term lease. The Company recognises the amount of lease payments of short-term lease in the cost of the related asset or the profit or loss for the current period, on a straight-line method over each period of the lease term. Leases of low-value assets Leases of low value assets refer to lease of a single leased asset whose value is less than 40,000 yuan when it is a brand-new asset. The Company recognised the lease payments for the leases of low-value assets in the relevant asset cost or the profit or loss for the current period on a straight-line basis over each period of the lease term. For leases of low value assets, the Company chooses to adopt the above simplified method according to the specific situation of each lease. (3) The Company as the lessor When the Company is the lessor, the lease that substantially transfers all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of assets is recognised as a finance lease, and leases other than finance leases are recognised as operating leases. Finance leases In a financial lease, the Company uses the net investment in leases as the carrying amount of finance lease receivables at the inception of a lease. The net investment in leases is the sum of the unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the outstanding lease payment at the inception of a lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. The Company, as the lessor, calculates and recognises the interest income over each period of the lease term at a fixed periodic interest rate. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability, which are obtained by the Company as a lessor, are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The termination of recognition and impairment of financial lease receivables is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instrument” and “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 23 – Transfer of Financial Assets”. Operating leases For the rental of operating leases, the Company recognises it in the profit or loss for the current period on a straight- line basis over each period of the lease term. The initial direct cost incurred in connection with an operating lease shall be capitalised and amortised on the same basis for recognition of rental income during the lease term, and shall be included in instalments in the profit or loss for the current period. The variable lease payment, which is obtained in connection with an operating lease and not 215 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 included in the lease receivables, shall be included in the profit and loss for the current period when they actually occur. 34. Right-of-use assets (1) Recognition condition of right-of-use assets The right-of-use assets of the Company are defined as the right of underlying assets in the lease term for the Company as a lessee. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost as at the commencement date of the lease, which consists of: the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; any lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the lease less any lease incentives received if any; initial direct expenses incurred by the Company as a lessee; costs to be incurred by the Company as a lessee in dismantling and removing a leased asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the leased assets to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company as a lessee recognises and measures the costs of demolition and restoration according to “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.13 – Contingencies”, and subsequently adjusts for any remeasurement of lease liability. (2) Depreciation method of right-of-use assets The Company calculates depreciation on a straight-line basis. Right-of-use assets in which the Company as a lessee is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the underlying leased assets at the end of the lease term are depreciated over the remaining useful life. Otherwise, right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its remaining useful life. (3) For methods of impairment testing and provision for impairment for right-of-use assets, please refer to note III. 23. 35. Repurchase of shares Prior to cancellation or transfer of shares repurchased, the Company recognises all expenditures arising from share repurchase as cost of treasury shares in the treasury share account. Considerations and transaction fee incurred from the repurchase of shares shall lead to the elimination of owners’ equity and does not recognise profit or loss when shares of the Company are repurchased, transferred or cancelled. The difference between the actual amount received and the carrying amount of the treasury stock are recognised as capital reserve when the treasury stocks are transferred, if the capital reserve is not sufficient to be offset, the excess amount shall be recognised to offset surplus reserve and undistributed profit. When the treasury stocks are cancelled, the capital shall be eliminated according to the number of shares and par value of cancellation shares, the difference between the actual amount received and the carrying amount of the treasury stock are recognised as capital reserve, if the capital reserve is not sufficient to be offset, the excess amount shall be recognised to offset surplus reserve and undistributed profit. 216 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 36. Significant accounting judgements and estimates Significant accounting estimates and critical assumptions adopted by the Company are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable. The significant accounting estimates and critical assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting year are set out below: (1) Classification of financial assets Significant judgements involved in determining the classification of financial assets include analysis of business mode and characteristics of the contractual cash flows. Factors considered by the Company in determining the business model of financial assets management for a group of financial assets include past experience on how financial asset’s performance is evaluated and reported to key management personnel, how risks affecting the performance of financial asset are assessed and managed and how managers of related businesses are compensated. When assessing whether the contractual cash flows of financial assets are consistent with basic lending arrangement, the Company adopts the following significant judgements: whether the time distribution or amounts of the principal within the duration may change due to early repayment and other reasons; whether the interest includes only the time value of money, credit risk, other basic lending risks and the consideration for cost and profit. For example, the amounts of early repayment only reflect principal unpaid, the interest based on principal unpaid and reasonable compensation paid for early termination of a contract. (2) Measurement of ECL for accounts receivables The Company calculates ECL of accounts receivables according to their exposure at default and ECL rate, and determines ECL rate based on probability of default and loss given default. When determining ECL rate, the Company adopts data like historical credit loss experience in combination with current situation and forward-looking information to adjust historical data. When considering forward-looking information, the Company uses indicators including the risk of economic downturn, external market environment, technology environment and changes on customer situation. The Company periodically monitors and reviews assumptions relevant to the measurement of ECL. (3) Impairment of non-current assets other than financial assets (other than goodwill) On the balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there are indications of impairment for non- current assets other than financial assets. For intangible assets that have not yet reached the status of use, impairment testing is conducted when there are indications of impairment, in addition to the annual impairment test. For non-current assets other than financial assets, impairment testing is conducted when there are indications that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the higher of its recoverable 217 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 amount, which is the net amount of fair value less disposal costs and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The net amount of fair value less disposal costs is determined by reference to the selling price in similar assets in fair transactions or observable market prices, minus incremental costs directly attributable to the asset disposal. In estimating the present value of future cash flows, management estimates the expected future cash flows of the asset or asset group and selects an appropriate discount rate to determine the present value of future cash flows. (4) Impairment of goodwill The Company evaluates whether goodwill is impaired at least once a year. This requires an estimate of the value in use of the asset groups to which the goodwill is allocated. In estimating the value in use, the Company needs to estimate the future cash flows generated from the asset groups and also to choose an appropriate discount rate in order to calculate the present value of the future cash flows. (5) Development costs Determining the amounts to be capitalised requires the management to make assumptions regarding the expected future cash flows generated from the relevant assets, discount rates to be applied and the expected period of benefits. (6) Deferred tax assets The deferred income tax assets will be recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which the loss is utilised. This requires the management to exert numerous judgments to estimate the timing and amount of the future taxable profits so as to determine the amount of deferred income tax assets to be recognised with reference to the tax planning strategy. (7) Revenue recognition As stated in note III. 28, the Company makes the following significant accounting judgements and estimates in terms of revenue recognition: identifying customer contracts; estimating the recoverability of the considerations that are entitled to be obtained by transferring goods to customers; identifying the performance obligation in the contract; estimating the variable consideration in the contract and cumulative revenue recognised where it is highly probable that a significant reversal therein will not occur when the relevant uncertainty is resolved; assessing whether there is a significant financing component in the contract; estimating the individual selling price of the individual performance obligation in the contract, etc. The Company makes judgments primarily based on historical experiences and works. Changes in these significant judgments and estimates may have significant impacts on the operating income, operating costs, and profit or loss of the current or subsequent periods. (8) Determination of the fair value of unlisted equity investment The fair value of unlisted equity investments represents the expected future cash flows discounted at the prevailing discount rate of items with similar terms and risk characteristics. It requires the 218 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 Company to estimate the expected future cash flows and discount rates, and therefore there is uncertainty. Under limited circumstances, if the information used to determine the fair value is insufficient, or the possible estimated amount of fair value is widely distributed, and cost represents the best estimate of the fair value within such scope, the cost may represent an appropriate estimate of the fair value within such distribution scope. 37. Changes in significant accounting policies and accounting estimates ① Interpretation No. 16 of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises The Ministry of Finance issued the Interpretation No. 16 of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (Cai Kuai [2022] No. 31, hereinafter referred to as “Interpretation No. 16”) in November 2022. Interpretation No. 16 stipulates that for individual transactions that are not business combinations and do not affect either accounting profit or taxable income (or deductible losses) at the time of occurrence, and where the initial recognition of assets and liabilities results in equal taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences, the temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities should be separately recognized as deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, respectively, at the time of the transaction, in accordance with relevant provisions such as Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 18 - Income Taxes. For such transactions occurring between the beginning of the earliest period reported in the financial statements and the effective date of this interpretation, the Company adjusts the cumulative impact amount of the earliest period reported in the financial statements, including retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period and other related items, in accordance with the aforementioned provisions. The aforementioned accounting treatment becomes effective from 1 January 2023. When the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized by the Company in lease transactions result in temporary differences and deductible temporary differences for tax purposes, adjustments were made in accordance with the provisions of Interpretation No. 16. The impact of implementing the above accounting policies on the consolidated balance sheet as of 31 December 2023 and the consolidated income statement for the year ended 2023 is as follows: Item in consolidated balance sheet Impact amount (As at 31 December 2023) Deferred tax assets 5,448,312.71 Deferred tax liabilities 5,281,690.30 Undistributed profits 149,007.43 Minority interests 17,614.98 Item in consolidated income statement Impact amount (For the year ended 31 December 2023) Income tax expenses -20,001.00 Net profit attributable to shareholders of the 14,046.76 parent Minority interests 5,954.24 The impact of implementing the above accounting policies on the consolidated balance sheet as of 31 December 2022 and the consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 December 2022 is as 219 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 follows: Item in consolidated balance sheet Adjustment After Before adjustment (As at 31 December 2022) amount adjustment Deferred tax assets 533,861,743.26 6,176,080.30 540,037,823.56 Deferred tax liabilities 231,164,425.48 6,029,458.89 237,193,884.37 Undistributed profits 8,456,643,326.82 134,960.67 8,456,778,287.49 Minority interests 8,898,407,287.12 11,660.74 8,898,418,947.86 Item in consolidated income statement Adjustment After Before adjustment (For the year ended 31 December amount adjustment 2022) Income tax expenses 562,008,858.69 -212,115.64 561,796,743.05 Net profit attributable to 1,502,595,840.48 181,293.28 1,502,777,133.76 shareholders of the parent Minority interests 1,391,500,256.00 30,822.36 1,391,531,078.36 The impact of implementing the above accounting policies on the consolidated balance sheet as of 1 January 2022 is as follows: Item in consolidated balance sheet Adjustment After Before adjustment (As at 1 January 2022) amount adjustment Deferred tax assets 552,542,866.71 8,197,790.11 560,740,656.82 Deferred tax liabilities 208,525,905.39 8,263,284.34 216,789,189.73 Undistributed profits 7,223,644,166.22 -46,332.61 7,223,597,833.61 Minority interests 8,359,317,322.63 -19,161.62 8,359,298,161.01 ② Cumulative impact for the year by changes in accounting policies Item begin affected Current year Prior year Net assets in beginning of year -- -65,494.23 Including: Retained earnings -- -46,332.61 Net profit 20,001.00 212,115.64 Net assets at year end 166,622.41 146,621.41 Including: Retained earnings 149,007.43 134,960.67 (2) Changes in significant accounting estimates None.

When estimating the recoverable amount of the cost input, an assets group associated with the production equipment was used to forecast the present value of future cash flows. As tested, no impairment was identified in the assets groups. The projected future cash flows of the assets group are determined based on the financial budget for the expected useful life of the production equipment established by the management. The main assumptions for impairment testing using the discounted future cash flow method are as follows: The calculation of the present value of projected future cash flows for the assets group adopts key assumptions, including a 73.65% to 74.35% gross profit margin, revenue growth rates ranging from 0% to 5%, and a discount rate of 15.00% for cash flow discounting. These assumptions are determined by the management based on historical performance and forecasts of market development. ②Fixed assets with temporary idle Accumulated Provision for Item Book value Carrying amount Note depreciation impairment Housing and buildings 17,882,426.27 12,738,313.16 1,981,043.82 3,163,069.29 Machinery and 121,187,759.61 86,414,982.29 22,188,236.19 12,584,541.13 equipment Electronic equipment 1,180,809.48 912,649.11 125,010.98 143,149.39 and others Total 140,250,995.36 100,065,944.56 24,294,290.99 15,890,759.81 ③Fixed assets held under finance leases Item Carrying amount Housing and buildings 1,574,194.98 ④Fixed assets without property certificate Item Carrying amount Reasons for pending title certificate Housing and buildings 157,449,537.68 Application in progress (2) Fixed assets for disposal 238 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 Closing balance of prior Item Closing balance Reason for disposal year Relocation and expansion project of Sichuan Guangda 38,808,631.84 Handover not completed yet Pharmaceutical Manufacturing 14.

Risks Management of Financial Instruments The major financial instruments of the Company include cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, non-current assets due within one year, other current assets, financial assets held for trading, other equity instrument investments, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, short- term borrowings, financial liabilities held for trading, non-current liabilities due within one year, long- term borrowings and long-term payables. The details of these financial instruments are disclosed in the respective notes. The financial risk of these financial instruments and financial management policies used by the Company to minimize the risk are disclosed as below. The management of the Company manages and monitors the exposure of these risks to ensure the above risks are controlled in the limited range. 1. Management objectives and policies of risks The operation activities of the Company are subject to various financial risks: market risks (mainly including foreign exchange risks and interest rate risks), credit risks and liquidity risks. The Company formulates an overall risk management plan with respect to the unforeseeability of the financial market in order to minimise the potential adverse impacts on the financial performance of the Company. (1) Foreign exchange risks The Company conducts its operation primarily in China. Substantially all of the transactions were denominated and settled in Renminbi. However, the Company still has certain imports and exports businesses regarding APIs and diagnostic reagents that are settled in U.S. dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The Company’s businesses outside China (mainly in Hong Kong, India, Europe) are settled in Hong Kong dollars, U.S. dollar and Euro. In addition, the Company will have foreign currency loans according to the operating needs. In respect of the above, the Company still exposes to certain foreign exchange risks. Taking into account the foreign exchange risks acceptable by the Company, the Company adopted Derivative instruments to control foreign exchange risk. However, as to the foreign exchange risk in loans, the Company shall closely monitor the trend of the exchange rate of Renminbi, 283 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 and timely adjust the extent of borrowings, so as to minimise its risks.Financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies held by the Company expressed in Renminbi are stated below: ①As of 31 December 2023 Unit: RMB 1,000 Item HKD USD EUR JPY GBP MOP MYR Financial assets in foreign currency - 5,534.7 Cash and bank balances 910,327.19 2,089,301.02 728.44 178.35 15.28 15.10 3 Financial assets held for 64,572.80 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 trading Accounts receivable 0.00 138,377.75 0.00 0.00 0.00 147.35 0.00 Other receivables 3,057.18 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 158.67 0.00 Other equity instruments 345,535.96 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 investment Other equity instruments 345,535.96 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 investment 5,840.7 Subtotal: 1,669,029.09 2,227,678.76 728.44 178.35 15.28 15.10 5 Financial liabilities in 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 foreign currency - Accounts payable 0.00 2,623.80 44.53 21,132.48 0.00 0.00 0.00 Other payables 3,674.30 28,937.74 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Subtotal: 3,674.30 31,561.54 44.53 21,132.48 0.00 0.00 0.00 ②As of 31 December 2022 Unit: RMB 1,000 Item HKD USD EUR JPY GBP MOP CHF Financial assets in foreign currency - Cash and bank balances 689,008.76 1,795,183.72 702.84 18,052.98 16.29 4,272.78 0.00 Financial assets held for 87,193.75 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 trading Accounts receivable 0.00 498,180.41 0.00 0.00 0.00 1,097.96 0.00 Other receivables 2,849.00 0.15 0.00 0.00 0.00 504.53 0.00 Other current assets 0.00 92,815.74 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Other equity instruments 524,464.51 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 investment Subtotal: 1,303,516.02 2,386,180.02 702.84 18,052.98 16.29 5,875.27 0.00 Financial liabilities in foreign currency - Short-term loans 0.00 13,464.86 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Accounts payable 0.00 3,569.18 42.05 14,627.29 0.00 0.00 141.89 Other payables 2,583.45 27,967.54 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Subtotal: 2,583.45 45,001.58 42.05 14,627.29 0.00 0.00 141.89 As at 31 December 2023, in respect of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies such as Hong Kong dollar, U.S. dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen and Macau dollar, should the value of RMB appreciate or depreciate by 5% against foreign currencies such as Hong Kong dollar, U.S. dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen and Macau dollar, and other factors remain unchanged, the Company would be subject to an increase or decrease in profit of approximately RMB192.35 million (31 December 2022: approximately RMB182.60 million). 284 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 (2) Interest rate risk The Company’s exposures to interest rate risk are mainly arising from interest-bearing liabilities such as bank borrowings. The interest rates are affected by the macro monetary policies of China, hence the Company will face the risks arising from fluctuation of interest rates in the future. The finance department of the head office of the Company continues to monitor the level of interest rate of the Company. The rise in the interest rate will increase the cost of additional interest-bearing liabilities and the interest expenses of the Company’s outstanding interest-bearing liabilities of which the interests are calculated at floating rates, and impose material adverse impact on the financial results of the Company. The management will make timely adjustment based on the updated market conditions. The directors of the Company consider that the future changes in the interest rate will have no material adverse impact on the operating results of the Company. (3) Credit risk Credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents, restricted funds, accounts receivables and other receivables. In respect of cash at banks, they were placed at several banks with good reputations, for which the credit risk was limited. In respect of receivables, the Company shall assess the credit limit granted to customers for credit purpose. Moreover, as the customer base of the Company is large, the credit risk on accounts receivables is not concentrated. In terms of bills receivable settlement, external payments are settled with bills receivable with priority and most of the remaining bills are high-quality bills with maturity within three months; thus none expected major credit risk exits. In addition, the provision made on the impairment of accounts receivables and other receivables are adequate to manage the credit risk. Among the accounts receivables of the Company, the accounts receivable of the top five customers accounted for 8.39% (31 December 2022: 11.98%); among the other receivables of the Company, the other receivables of the top five customers accounted for 40.48% (31 December 2022: 46.23%). (4) Liquidity risk The Company adopts prudent liquidity risk management for the sufficient supply of monetary funds and liquidity. It secures readily available credit loans from banks mainly by maintaining adequate monetary funds and banking facilities. Apart from indirect financing from banks, a number of financing channels were available, such as direct financing by inter-bank market including short-term financing bills and medium-term financing bills, corporate bonds etc. These instruments can effectively reduce the effects of scale of financing and the macro monetary policies of China on indirect bank financing, which shall secure adequate funds in a flexible manner. As at the date of the balance sheet, the contractual cash flows of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented below by term of maturity: ①As of 31 December 2023 Over 5 Item Within a year 1-2 years 2-5 years Total years Financial assets: Cash and bank balances 15,691,888,314.83 0.00 0.00 0.00 15,691,888,314.83 Financial assets held for 82,899,154.24 0.00 0.00 0.00 82,899,154.24 trading Notes receivable 1,941,200,568.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 1,941,200,568.00 Accounts receivable 2,692,941,866.24 0.00 0.00 0.00 2,692,941,866.24 Other receivables 46,010,624.61 0.00 0.00 0.00 46,010,624.61 285 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 Over 5 Item Within a year 1-2 years 2-5 years Total years Other current assets 6,536,364.62 0.00 0.00 0.00 6,536,364.62 Subtotal: 20,461,476,892.54 0.00 0.00 0.00 20,461,476,892.54 Financial liabilities: Short-term loans 2,076,159,347.22 0.00 0.00 0.00 2,076,159,347.22 Financial liabilities held 86,817.12 0.00 0.00 0.00 86,817.12 for trading Notes payable 1,469,148,287.38 0.00 0.00 0.00 1,469,148,287.38 Accounts payable 894,286,243.28 0.00 0.00 0.00 894,286,243.28 Other payables 3,682,604,038.73 0.00 0.00 0.00 3,682,604,038.73 Other current liabilities 39,844,637.92 0.00 0.00 0.00 39,844,637.92 Non-current liabilities 718,564,144.31 0.00 0.00 0.00 718,564,144.31 due within one year Lease liabilities 0.00 11,783,457.28 3,639,491.13 0.00 15,422,948.41 Long term loans 0.00 2,288,854,277.01 833,419,001.98 0.00 3,122,273,278.99 Subtotal: 8,880,693,515.96 2,300,637,734.29 837,058,493.11 0.00 12,018,389,743.36 ②As of 31 December 2022 Over 5 Item Within a year 1-2 years 2-5 years Total years Financial assets: Cash and bank balances 14,808,488,110.96 0.00 0.00 0.00 14,808,488,110.96 Financial assets held for 109,015,664.98 0.00 0.00 0.00 109,015,664.98 trading Notes receivable 1,959,985,016.85 0.00 0.00 0.00 1,959,985,016.85 Accounts receivable 3,103,758,850.15 0.00 0.00 0.00 3,103,758,850.15 Other receivables 52,535,740.14 0.00 0.00 0.00 52,535,740.14 Other current assets 104,859,166.96 0.00 0.00 0.00 104,859,166.96 Subtotal: 20,138,642,550.04 0.00 0.00 0.00 20,138,642,550.04 Financial liabilities: Short-term loans 2,126,050,615.06 0.00 0.00 0.00 2,126,050,615.06 Financial liabilities held 755,634.43 0.00 0.00 0.00 755,634.43 for trading Notes payable 1,635,906,989.22 0.00 0.00 0.00 1,635,906,989.22 Accounts payable 943,905,580.91 0.00 0.00 0.00 943,905,580.91 Other payables 3,680,334,360.88 0.00 0.00 0.00 3,680,334,360.88 Other current liabilities 83,541,891.93 0.00 0.00 0.00 83,541,891.93 Non-current liabilities 63,077,260.98 0.00 0.00 0.00 63,077,260.98 due within one year Lease liabilities 0.00 14,509,839.81 8,972,646.26 0.00 23,482,486.07 Long term loans 0.00 907,182,927.81 2,323,661,115.07 0.00 3,230,844,042.88 Subtotal: 8,533,572,333.41 921,692,767.62 2,332,633,761.33 0.00 11,787,898,862.36 2. Capital management The capital management policies are made to keep the continuous operation of the Company, to enhance the return to shareholders, to benefit other stakeholders and to maintain the best capital structure to minimize the cost of capital. For the maintenance or adjustment of the capital structure, the Company might adjust financing 286 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 method, the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares and other equity instruments or make an asset disposal to reduce the liabilities. The Company monitors the capital structure with gearing ratio (calculated by dividing total liabilities by total assets). As of 31 December 2023, the Company’s gearing ratio is 37.73% (31 December 2022: 38.37%). 3.

Total 316,223,387.83 (2) Financial assets derecognized due to transfer Gains or losses Amount of Project Transfer method related to derecognition derecognition Notes receivable Endorsement of notes 180,125,188.50 Notes receivable Notes discounting 136,098,199.33 Total 316,223,387.83 -- In the current period, the Company discounted bank acceptance bills of RMB.99 385,575,297 (the previous period: RMB1,190,002,804.98). As the main risks and rewards related to these bank notes, such as interest rate risk, have been transferred to the banks, the Company derecognizes the discounted undue bank notes. According to the discount agreement, if the bank notes are not accepted upon maturity, the bank has the right to require the Company to pay off the outstanding balance. Therefore, the Company continues to be involved in the discounted bank notes. As at 31 December 2023, the undue bank notes discounted amounted to RMB0.33 136,098,199 (31 December 2022: RMB422,899,944.56). As at 31 December 2023, the carrying amount of the Company's undue bank notes endorsed to suppliers in settlement of accounts payable was 180,125,188 RMB.50 (31 December 2022: RMB542,620,475.62). There are no undue commercial notes endorsed to suppliers for settlement of accounts payable (December 31, 2022: RMB 0.00). As of December 31, 2023, its maturity date is 1 to 6 months. According to the relevant provisions of the Negotiable Instruments Law, if the accepting bank refuses to pay, its holder has the right to recourse against the Company (“continued involvement"). The Company considers that it has transferred substantially all of its risks and rewards and therefore derecognizes the carrying amount of its and the related settled accounts payable. The maximum loss and undiscounted cash flow of continuing involvement and repurchase are equal to its book value. The Company considers that the continuing involvement in fair value is not material. In 2023, the Company did not incur any gain or loss on the date of transfer of the Note. The Company 287 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 has no current and accumulatively recognized income or expenses due to continuous involvement in the derecognized financial assets. Endorsements occur roughly evenly in the current period. (3) Financial assets transferred but not derecognized as a whole None. X. Fair value The level in which fair value measurement is categorised is determined by the level of the fair value hierarchy of the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement. The levels are defined as follows: Level 1 inputs: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are observable at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs: inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable for underlying assets or liabilities. Level 3 inputs: inputs that are unobservable for underlying assets or liabilities. (1) Items and amounts measured at fair value As at 31 December 2023, the assets and liabilities measured at fair value are listed as follows according to the above three levels: Level 1 fair Level 2 fair Level 3 fair value Item value value Total measurement measurement measurement I.

(北京绿竹生 物技术股份有限公司), which was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. As a result, the fair 288 Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Annual Report 2023 value measurement of these other equity instruments investments was reclassified from Level 3 to Level 1. Except for the reclassification of the fair value measurement of the other equity instruments investment, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the fair value measurement of other financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company, nor were there any transfers into or out of Level 3. For financial instruments traded in active markets, the Company determines their fair value based on their quoted market prices in the active market. The Company's trading debt instruments investments and equity instruments investments are listed and traded in markets such as Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and the United States. Their fair value is determined based on the closing prices on the last trading day of the reporting period. For financial instruments not traded in active markets, the Company uses valuation techniques to determine their fair value.
