Discussion and Analysis of the Company's Future Development (i) Industry pattern and trends √Applicable □Not applicable 1. AI changes business Artificial intelligence (AI), as one of the core technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is driving a profound transformation in global production methods. International organizations such as the World Economic Forum unanimously believe that AI technologies will greatly improve production efficiency and product quality, and open up new market opportunities for enterprises. According to reports from well-known research institutions such as Gartner and McKinsey, AI is triggering a "productivity revolution" across the world, and it is expected that the global AI market will exceed trillions of dollars by 2030. As an emerging productivity, AI has shown broad market prospects and enormous development potential. In this context, the Company has ushered in a new era with AI technology as its core. The Company deeply recognizes that AI is not only a symbol of technological innovation, but also a key force driving changes in business models and operational methods. Therefore, the management of the Company regards "exploring how AI technology can empower traditional markets" as the core task of its five-year strategic plan for the future. During the reporting period, the Company actively integrated AI technology into commercial practice, driving traditional foreign trade to actively explore the direction of AI. (1) Preliminary results have been achieved in the exploration and practice of AI applications ① A series of products with AI empowering the digital trade ecosystem have initially formed a closed loop. The AI Digital Lady Boss and AI Translator have successfully reduced language barriers for market operators in foreign trade business; AI-generated images and videos provide a cost- effective solution for digitizing products; Digital human anchors and AI customer service staff enable business owners to achieve 24-7 business operations; And AI independent websites have opened up more trade channels. In addition, Xiaoshang AI has broken through traditional keyword search and information flow recommendation models through intelligent interactive Q&A. Not only does it enhance the personalized experience of Chinagoods users, but it also drives the evolution of the Yiwu commercial model by deeply understanding the preferences and needs of procurement users, promoting cost reduction and efficiency increase for business owners, and updating business models. ② "Digital Lady Boss" brings more business display opportunities to merchants The wave of AI technology is sweeping across various industries, and the business model of Yiwu is also undergoing changes among "world business circles". Market merchants can seamlessly switch between different languages and communicate with foreign businesses without barriers in front of the camera through the multilingual "Digital Lady Boss" AI tool. Merchants can better showcase their brand store and product image through AI tools, and can 46 / 289 2023 Annual Report also achieve business such as customer acquisition, quotation, and order taking. At present, 17,000 people have deeply experienced and used the series of products of Xiaoshang AI on the Chinagoods platform of Yiwu CCC. The "Digital Lady Boss" empowered by AI has formed a series of well-known IPs, receiving continuous attention and coverage from media outlets such as CCTV, People's Daily Online, and Xinhua News Agency, becoming a case of new economic transformation. Through follow-up analysis and data statistics of merchants, it was found that within three months of using AI products, the average inquiry volume of market merchants increased by more than 30%, and the order volume also increased by more than 15%. The exploration and practice of AI have received positive feedback in the field of foreign trade. ③ Upgrade of Chinagoods AI Intelligent Innovation Service Platform In October 2023, the Company released the first large model in the field of commodity trade China and upgraded the Chinagoods AI Intelligent Innovation Service Platform. Yiwu CCC has reached strategic cooperation with institutions such as People's Daily Online, Tencent, Baidu, and Tsinghua University to jointly release big data models in the field of commerce and trade, successfully attracting numerous AI startups to join the Chinagoods AI Intelligent Innovation Service Platform. Unlike most big data models in the market, complex digital trade scenarios require more AI service providers and AI technology teams to join. The Company chooses to start from the role of service, combining self-developed products with third-party products, deeply entering trade scenarios, helping market merchants more efficiently display their brands and products, and more accurately carry out content marketing. At present, more than 20 AI technology companies have integrated into the operation and development of digital trade scenarios in the Yiwu market. The Yiwu market has rich data application scenarios, specific user groups, mature business models, first-class basic design, and strong computing power support, providing a fertile soil for the implementation and application of more AI products. (2) The construction of AI digital trade infrastructure is accelerating ① Hardware construction. In April 2023, the Company signed a cooperation agreement with China Unicom Zhejiang Branch to plan to build and operate the "Belt and Road" international data center. The project will follow the framework of "one network, three centers and two guarantees", including the new international Internet data dedicated channel, green data center, cloud computing center and intelligent computing center, and provide operation service guarantee and network data security guarantee. This project aims to promote the flow and integration of data elements, providing infrastructure support for the future development of artificial intelligence applications in the Yiwu market. ② Software construction. On October 22, 2023, during the China Yiwu International Commodities Fair, the Company announced strategic cooperation with institutions such as People's Daily Online, Tencent, Tsinghua University, and China Post in the fields of AI and big 47 / 289 2023 Annual Report data. The Company released the world's first vertical industry model in the field of commerce and trade based on Luka, and launched Version 2.0 of Chinagoods AI Intelligent Innovation Service Platform. ModelBest is an enterprise incubated by the NLP laboratory of Tsinghua University, and was named one of the "Top 10 Most Promising Startup" by “AI China” Machine Heart in 2022. The AI Agent series of ModelBest is based on a large voice model, achieving a higher quality artificial intelligence interaction experience. (3) The Company's forward-looking investments in AI applications in the field of commerce and trade In the future development blueprint, the Company will continue to make forward-looking investments in the field of artificial intelligence, promoting innovative applications of AI technology in the field of commerce and trade. ① With the utmost sincerity and attitude, the Company will work together with more top technology enterprises to explore the application scenarios of AI technology in the field of commerce and trade. The Company is dedicated to developing a series of revolutionary digital tools, including AI digital human matrix, AI website building platform, AI assistant, etc., with the aim of creating agents (digital agents) with advanced capabilities such as graphic content generation and deep data analysis, leading the wave of digital transformation in the field of commerce and trade. ② The Company will accelerate the promotion of digital infrastructure projects such as 10 Gigabit networks and cross-border access networks to ensure an efficient, stable, and fast network environment. Launch an AI digital customer service system to enhance user service experience. And pilot the commercial language model project in the new energy industry, in order to explore deep applications in specific industries and accumulate valuable experience. AI technology not only improves operational efficiency and reduces costs for traditional foreign trade, but also creates new business opportunities for market participants, promotes innovation in business models, and AI changes business. We will always maintain sensitivity and a sense of crisis, embrace change, and strive for innovation. We will be based on the Yiwu market and connect global suppliers and buyers through AI technology to achieve intelligent matching and efficient circulation of trade information, contributing to the prosperity and development of global trade. 2. Data elements In the era of digital economy, data has become a "new energy" driving business transformation, and the digital industry is gradually becoming a new engine for China and even the global economic recovery. According to the Research Report on the Development of China's Digital Economy (2023) by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, the scale of China's digital economy development exceeded RMB 5 billion for the first time in 2022, and it is expected that the scale of China's data trading market will reach RMB 204.6 billion by 2025. 48 / 289 2023 Annual Report On January 12, 2022, the State Council released the "14th Five Year Plan for the Development of the Digital Economy", and on December 19, 2022, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Opinions on Building a Data Infrastructure System to Better Play the Role of Data Elements" (referred to as the "20 Data Articles"), which aimed to build a data infrastructure system from aspects such as data property rights, circulation and transactions, income distribution, and security governance, and proposed 20 policy measures.

Other information Zhejiang China Commodities City Group Co., Ltd.’s management is responsible for other information. Such information includes the information covered by the annual report, but the financial statements and the audit report provided by us are excluded. Our audit opinion released in the financial statements do not cover other information and we do not release any form of assurance conclusion on other information. Our responsibility is to read other information in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements. During the process, we consider whether there is a material inconsistency or other material misstatement in the financial statements with the knowledge acquired by us during the audit process. Based on the work we have performed, if we determine that there is a material misstatement of other information, we should report the fact. We have nothing to report in this aspect. 5. Responsibility of management and governance for financial statements The management is responsible for preparing financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises to achieve fair reflection, and designing, implementing and maintaining necessary internal controls to prevent these financial statements from material misstatement arising from fraud or error . During preparing the financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the sustainability management capabilities of Zhejiang China Commodities City Group Co., Ltd., disclosing, as applicable, going-concern-related matters and applying the going- concern assumption unless the management plans to liquidate Zhejiang China Commodities City Group Co., Ltd. and discontinue operations or has no other realistic choices. The governance is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process of Zhejiang China Commodities City Group Co., Ltd. 6. Certified Public Accountants’ responsibility for audit of financial statements Our goal is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement caused by fraud or error and express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The reasonable assurance is a guarantee at a high level, but there is no guarantee that an audit performed in accordance with the auditing standards will always identify existing material misstatement. Misstatements may be caused by fraud or error. Misstatement is generally considered to be material if it is reasonably expected that the misstatement, alone or aggregated, may affect the financial decision made by the users of the financial statements based on the financial statements. We applied professional judgment and professional skepticism during conducting audit work in accordance with the Auditing Standards for CPA while performing following works: (1) Identifying and evaluating the risk of material misstatements of financial statements for fraud or error designing and implementing audit procedures to deal with these risks and obtaining adequate and appropriate audit evidence as a basis for release of our audit opinion. As fraud may involve collusion, forgery, 124 / 289 2023 Annual Report willful omission, misrepresentation or override of internal control, the risk of not discovering a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not discovering a material misstatement resulting from an error. (2) Understanding the internal control related to the audit in order to design the appropriate audit procedures. (3) Evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies selected by management level and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures. (4) Concluding the appropriateness of management level’s use of the going concern assumption while drawing a conclusion as to whether there is any material uncertainty about the issues or circumstances that may cause major doubts about the ability of the Zhejiang China Commodities City Group Co., Ltd. to continue as a going concern on basis of the audit evidence acquired. If we conclude that there is a significant uncertainty, the auditing standards require us to remind user of the statements of the relevant disclosures in the financial statements in the audit report. If the disclosures are inadequate, we should release an unqualified opinion. Our conclusion is based on the information available by the date of the audit report. However, future events or circumstances may result in Zhejiang China Commodities City Group Co., Ltd. being unable to continue as a going concern. (5) Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content (including disclosure) of the financial statements as well as whether the financial statements are a fair reflection of the related transactions and matters. (6) Obtaining adequate and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of the entities or business activities in Zhejiang China Commodities City Group Co., Ltd. to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for directing, supervising and implementing the Group’s audit and assume full responsibility for the audit opinion. 6. The Responsibility of Certified Public Accountants for Auditing Financial Statements (Continued) We have communicated with the governance on the matters such as the scope and timing of audit and major audit findings, including the notable defects of internal control identified in our audit. We also provided a statement to the governance that we had complied with the professional ethics requirements related to independence, and communicated with the governance all relationships and other matters that may be reasonably believed to affect our independence, and related preventive measures (if applicable) . In the matters communicated with the governance, we determined which matters should be the most important to the audit of the financial statements of the current period, and should constitute the key audit matters accordingly. We described such matters in the audit report, unless laws and regulations had prohibited public disclosure of these matters, or in rare cases, we determined that such matters should not be communicated in the audit report if the negative consequences of communicating a matter in the audit report are reasonably expected to outweigh the public interests. 125 / 289 2023 Annual Report Ernst & Young Hua Ming C Chinese Certified Public Accountant: TAN Chaohui ertified Public Accountants (Project Partner) (special general partnership) Chinese Certified Public Accountant: LING Yuehan Beijing, China April 15, 2024 126 / 289 2023 Annual Report II.

Therefore, the Board of Directors of the Company continued to prepare the financial statements of the Group for the year 2023 based on going concern. V. Important Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates Reminders on specific accounting policies and accounting estimates: √Applicable □Not applicable 143 / 289 2023 Annual Report The Group has formulated specific accounting policies and estimates based on the actual production and operation characteristics, mainly reflected in bad debt provisions for accounts receivable, inventory valuation methods, provision for inventory depreciation, fixed asset depreciation, intangible asset amortization, revenue recognition and measurement, division of investment real estate and fixed assets, and the useful life and residual value of fixed assets. 1. Statement of compliance with the Accounting Standards The financial statements prepared by the Group comply with the requirements of the Accounting Standards, and truly and completely reflect the Company’s financial conditions, operating results, changes in shareholders’ equity, cash flows and other related information. 2. Accounting period The fiscal year of the Group starts from January 1 until December 31 of each calendar year. 3. Operating cycle √Applicable □Not applicable The business cycle of the Company is relatively short, and 12 months are used as the standard for defining the liquidity of assets and liabilities. 4. Functional currency The Company’s functional currency is RMB. The subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates of the Group determine their functional currencies at their own discretion based on the main economic environments in their places of businesses and convert all amounts into RMB while preparing financial statements. 5. Method for determining importance criteria and selection basis √Applicable □Not applicable Item Importance criteria Important debt investment Amount greater than RMB 10 million Important construction in progress Amount greater than RMB 10 million Important minority shareholders’ The total assets are greater than RMB 100 million interest and the minority shareholder's shareholding ratio is greater than or equal to 5% Important joint ventures or associates Investment targets that align with the Group's development strategy 6. Accounting methods for merger of the enterprises under common control and merger of the enterprises not under common control √Applicable □Not applicable The mergers of enterprises are divided into the mergers of the enterprises under common control and mergers of the enterprises not under common control. Mergers of the enterprises under common control If the enterprises participating in the merger are ultimately controlled by the same party or the same parties before and after the merger, and the control is not temporary, the deal is a business merger under the same control. The assets and liabilities acquired by the merging party in a merger of the enterprises under common control (including the goodwill formed through the acquisition of the merged party by the ultimate controller) are accounted according to the book value thereof in the ultimate controller’s financial statements on the date of merger. For the difference between the book value of the net assets obtained by the merging party and the book value of the consideration paid for the merger (or the total nominal value of the shares issued), the share capital premium in the capital reserve shall be adjusted; if the share capital premium is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. 144 / 289 2023 Annual Report Mergers of enterprises not under common control If the enterprises participating in the merger are not under the ultimate control of the same party or the same parties before and after the merger, the deal is business merger not under the same control. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities obtained from the merger of the enterprises not under common control are measured at their fair values on the date of acquisition. The difference between the merger cost and the fair value share of the identifiable net assets obtained from the acquired party in the merger is recognized as goodwill and subsequently measured at cost minus accumulated impairment losses. If the merger cost is less than the fair value share of the identifiable net assets obtained from the acquired party in the merger, the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities obtained from the acquired party, as well as the measurement of the merger cost, shall be reviewed. If the merger cost is still less than the fair value share of the identifiable net assets obtained from the acquired party in the merger, the difference shall be recognized in gains and losses for this period. 7. Judgment criteria for control and preparation methods for consolidated financial statements √Applicable □Not applicable The financial statements to be consolidated is determined on the basis of control, including those of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries refer to the entities controlled by the Company (including the severable parts of enterprises and invested entities, and the structured entities controlled by the Company). When and only when the investor possesses the following three elements, the investor can control the investee: the investor has the power over the investee; enjoy variable returns due to participation in related activities of the invested party; ability to exercise power over the invested party to influence its return amount. If the accounting policies or accounting periods adopted by the subsidiary and the Company are inconsistent, necessary adjustments shall be made to the subsidiary's financial statements in accordance with the Company's accounting policies and accounting periods when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows generated from all deals between companies within the Group are fully offset at the time of merger. If the amount of loss for the current period attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders’ share in the opening balance of shareholders’ equity in the subsidiary, the excess will still be recognized against minority interest. For a subsidiary acquired through a business merger not under the same control, the operating results and cash flows of the acquiree will be included in the consolidated financial statements from the day when the Group acquires control, until the control of the Group ceases. In the preparation of consolidated financial statements, adjustments will be made to the financial statements of the subsidiary based on the fair value of its identifiable assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities determined on the date of acquisition. For a subsidiary acquired through a business merger under the same control, the operating results and cash flows of merged party will be included in the consolidated financial statements since the beginning of the current period of the merger. In the preparation of consolidated financial statements, adjustments will be made to the related items in its previous financial statements as if the reporting entity formed after the merger has been existing as from the ultimate controller starts to exercise control. In case of any change to one or more elements of the control due to the changes in related facts and circumstances, the Group will re-evaluate whether to control the investee. Without loss of control, changes in minority shareholders' equity are regarded as equity transactions. 8. Classification of joint arrangements and accounting treatment of joint operations √Applicable □Not applicable Joint arrangements are divided into joint operations and joint ventures. Joint operation refers to a joint arrangement in which the parties thereto enjoy the assets relating to such 145 / 289 2023 Annual Report arrangement and assume the liabilities relating to such arrangement. Joint venture refers to a joint arrangement in which the parties thereto only enjoy rights to the net assets in this arrangement. Each party to a joint arrangement recognizes the following items relating to its share in the joint operation: assets held individually by it and assets held jointly based on its share; liabilities assumed individually by it and liabilities assumed jointly based on its share; revenue from the sale of its share in the output of the joint operation; revenue from the sale of the output of the joint operation based on its share; expenses incurred individually by it and expenses incurred by the joint operation based on its share. 9. Criteria for the identification of cash and cash equivalents Cash refers to the group’s cash on hand and deposits that can be used for payment at any time; cash equivalent refers to the investment held by the Group with a short term, strong liquidity, easy to convert into cash with a known amount, and with low risk of value changes. 10. Foreign currency transactions and translation of foreign currency financial statements √Applicable □Not applicable For foreign currency transactions, the Group will translate the foreign currency amounts into its functional currency amounts. In the initial recognition of a foreign currency transaction, the foreign currency amount is translated to a functional currency amount according to the spot exchange rate on the date of transaction. On the balance sheet date, the foreign currency monetary items are translated according to the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The translation difference between settlement and monetary items is recognized in the profit or loss for the current period, except for the difference arising from the special foreign currency borrowing relating to the acquisition and construction of the assets qualified for capitalization, which will be treated based on the principles for the capitalization of borrowing expenses. Foreign currency non- monetary items measured at historical cost are still converted using the exchange rate used at initial recognition, without changing their accounting base currency amount. The foreign currency non-monetary items measured by fair value are translated according to the spot exchange rate on the fair value determination date and the difference arising therefrom is recognized in the profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the current period based on the nature of the items. The Group translates the functional currency of its foreign business into RMB while preparing the financial statements. The assets and liabilities items in the balance sheet are translated according to the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, the shareholders’ equity items are translated according to the spot exchange rate at the occurrence of the items except for “undistributed profits”; revenue and expenses items in the income statement are translated according to the average exchange rate during the period in which the transaction happens (conversion shall be at the spot rate on the date of the transaction, unless exchange rate fluctuations make such conversion inappropriate). The translation differences of foreign currency statements arising from the above translations are recognized as other comprehensive income. For the disposal of foreign business, other comprehensive income relating to the foreign business is recognized in the profit or loss of the disposal for the current period and is calculated pro rata for partial disposal. Foreign currency cash flows and cash flows of overseas subsidiaries are converted using the average exchange rate for the period in which the cash flows occur (unless exchange rate fluctuations make the exchange rate inappropriate, the spot exchange rate on the day the cash flows occur) is used for conversion. The amount of impact of the changes in exchange rate on cash is separately stated in the cash flow statement as an adjustment item. 11. Financial instruments √Applicable □Not applicable 146 / 289 2023 Annual Report Financial instruments refer to the contracts which form financial assets of an enterprise and form financial liabilities or equity instruments of other entities. Recognition and de-recognition of financial instruments The Group recognizes a financial asset or financial liability at the time of becoming a party to a financial instrument contract. The Group will derecognize a financial asset (or a part of the financial asset or a part of a group of similar financial assets), i.e. charging off the asset from its account and balance sheet, if: (1) The right to receive cash flows from financial assets expires; (2) The Company transferred the right to receive cash flows from financial assets, or assumed the obligation to timely and fully pay the received cash flows to third parties under a "pass through agreement"; and essentially transferred almost all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or relinquished control over the financial asset even though it neither transferred nor retained almost all the risks and rewards of ownership. If a financial liability has been fulfilled, revoked or expired, it will be derecognized. If an existing financial liability is replaced by the same creditor with another financial liability under substantially different terms or the terms of the existing liability are substantially modified in whole, the existing liability will be derecognized and the new liability will be recognized, and the difference will be recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. For the transactions of financial assets in regular ways, the recognition and de-recognition thereof will be conducted based on the accounting on the transaction date. Buying and selling financial assets in a conventional manner refers to the purchase or sale of financial assets in accordance with contractual provisions, and the terms of the contract stipulate that financial assets are delivered according to the time schedule usually determined by regulations or market practices. The transaction date refers to the date when the Group promises to buy or sell the financial assets. Classification and measurement of financial assets The financial assets of the Group are classified at initial recognition based on the business model of managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets as financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value with changes recognized in other comprehensive income, and financial assets measured at fair value with changes recognized in current period profit and loss. All affected related financial assets will be reclassified only when the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets. If a financial asset is measured by fair value at initial recognition, but the accounts receivable or notes receivable from the sale of goods or rendering of service do not include significant financing components or the financing components with a term no longer than one year are not considered, the initial measurement will be made based on the transaction price. For the financial assets that are measured by fair value and of which the changes in fair value are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period, the related transaction fees will be directly recognized in the profit or loss for the current period; the related transaction fees of other financial assets will be recognized in the initially recognized amounts thereof. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the classification thereof: Investment in debt instruments measured by amortized cost A financial asset is classified into those measured by amortized cost, if the business model for the management of the asset is for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flow; and the terms of the contract of the asset stipulate that the cash flow generated on the specific date is only the repayment of principal and the payment of interest on the outstanding principal. The interest income of such financial assets is recognized with the effective interest method, and the gains or losses from the de-recognition, modification or impairment thereof are all recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. Investment in the equity instruments that are measured by fair value and of which the changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income The Group has irrevocably chosen to designate some non-trading equity instrument investments as the financial assets that are measured by fair value and of which the changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. Only the related dividend income (except for the dividend income expressly acting as a recovery of investment cost) is 147 / 289 2023 Annual Report recognized in the profit or loss for the current period, while the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income, and no provision is required for impairment. When the financial assets are derecognized, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income will be moved out of other comprehensive income and recognized in retained earnings. Financial assets that are measured by fair value and of which the changes in fair value are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period The financial assets other than the above financial assets measured by amortized cost and the above financial assets that are measured by fair value and of which the changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income are classified as the financial assets that are measured by fair value and of which the changes in fair value are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. Those financial assets are subsequently measured by fair value and all changes in the fair value thereof are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. Classification and measurement of financial liabilities The financial liabilities of the Group are classified at initial recognition as financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. For financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, the relevant transaction costs are directly recognized in profit or loss, while the relevant transaction costs of financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are recognized in their initial recognition amount. The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on the classification thereof: Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss The financial liabilities that are measured by fair value and of which the changes in fair value are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period include financial liabilities held for trading (including the derivative instruments as financial liabilities) and the liabilities that are designated at initial recognition as the financial liabilities that are measured by fair value and of which the changes in fair value are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. The financial liabilities held for trading (including the derivative instruments as financial liabilities) are subsequently measured by fair value and all changes in the fair value are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. Financial assets measured at amortized cost Those financial liabilities are subsequently measured by amortized cost with the effective interest method. Impairment of financial instruments The Group has treated and recognized the impairment of the financial assets measured by amortized cost based on the expected credit loss. For receivables that do not contain significant financing components, the Group measures the loss provision based on the amount of expected credit loss equivalent to the entire duration under a simplified measurement method, For the financial assets not measured with the simplified method, the Group evaluates on each balance sheet date whether their credit risks have increased significantly since the initial recognition. If the credit risk of a financial asset has not increased significantly since the initial recognition, the asset is in the first stage and the Group will make provision for loss based on the amount of expected credit loss within the coming 12 months and calculate interest income based on the book balance and effective interest rate; if the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition, but credit has not been impaired, the asset is in the second stage and the Group will make provision for loss equivalent to the amount of expected credit loss during the entire term and calculate interest income based on the book balance and effective interest rate; if credit has been impaired after the initial recognition, the asset is in the third stage and the Group will make provision for loss equivalent to the amount of expected credit loss during the entire term and calculate interest income based on the amortized cost and effective interest rate. The Group evaluates the expected credit losses of financial instruments on the individual and group bases. The Group considers the credit risk characteristics of different customers, evaluates the expected credit losses of accounts receivable based on common risk characteristics and aging combinations, and determines the aging based on the invoicing date. 148 / 289 2023 Annual Report Except for financial instruments that are evaluated for expected credit losses in the aforementioned combination, the Group assesses their expected credit losses in a single item. Please refer to Note XII. 1. Risk of Financial Instruments for the disclosure of the criteria for significantly increasing credit risk and the definition of credit impairment assets that have occurred by the Group. The factors reflected in the Group's method of measuring expected credit losses of financial instruments include: unbiased probability-weighted average amount determined by evaluating a series of possible outcomes; time value of money; no unnecessary additional cost or effort on the balance sheet date Reasonable and evidence-based information that is readily available about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. When the Group no longer reasonably expects that it can recover the contractual cash flow of a financial asset in whole or in part, it will directly write down the book balance of the asset. 12.

Inventory √Applicable □Not applicable Inventory category, valuation method for issuance, inventory system, amortization method for low-value consumables and packaging materials √Applicable □Not applicable Inventory includes raw materials, work-in-progress materials, finished goods, real estate development costs and real estate development products. Inventory is initially measured by cost. The costs of inventory except development costs and development products include the procurement cost, processing cost and other costs. The actual costs of items out of inventory are determined with the weighted average method. Work-in- progress materials include low-value consumables and packages, which are amortized with the one-off charging-off method. Development costs refer to the properties that have not been completed and are developed for the purpose of being sold. Development products refer to the properties that have been completed and are ready for sale. The actual costs of real estate development costs and development products include the land acquisition cost, expenditures on construction and installation works, capitalized interest and other direct and indirect development expenses. The use right of the land for development purpose at the development of a project is amortized and recognized as the development cost of the project based on the site area of the development product, and the development cost will be changed over to development product after being completed. If the public auxiliary facilities are completed earlier than the related development product, the facilities will be allocated to and recognized in the development cost of related development project based on the floor space of the project after final accounting of the facilities upon completion; if the public auxiliary facilities are completed later than the related development product, they will be recognized in the development cost of related development project based on the predicted cost of the public auxiliary facilities. Hotel, catering and fresh goods inventories are subject to onsite inventory, while other inventories are subject to perpetual inventory. Recognition criteria and provision methods for provision for inventory depreciation 150 / 289 2023 Annual Report √Applicable □Not applicable On the balance sheet date, inventory is measured by cost and net realizable value, whichever is lower. If the cost is higher than the net realizable value, provision will be made for inventory depreciation, which will be recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventory less the cost estimated to occur as of completion, estimated sales expenses and related taxes. In principle, provisions for inventory depreciation shall be made for inventory items individually. For the inventory with a large quantity and a low unit price, inventory depreciation provision will be made based on the Groups of items.

Non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale □Applicable √Not applicable Recognition criteria and accounting treatment methods for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale □Applicable √Not applicable Recognition criteria and reporting methods for termination of operations □Applicable √Not applicable 19. Long-term equity investment √Applicable □Not applicable Long-term equity investment includes equity investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. Long-term equity investment is initially measured by the initial investment cost at the time of being acquired. The initial investment cost for long-term equity investments obtained through the merger of enterprises under the same control shall be the share of the book value of the owner's equity of the merged party obtained on the merger date in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party; The difference between the initial investment cost and the book value of the merger consideration shall be adjusted to the capital reserve (if it is not sufficient to offset, it shall be offset against retained earnings). Long term equity investments obtained through mergers of enterprises not under the same control are initially invested at the cost of the merger (if the merger of enterprises not under the same control is achieved through multiple transactions in steps, the initial investment cost is the sum of the book value of the equity investments held by the acquired party before the purchase date and the newly added investment cost on the purchase date). The initial investment costs of the long-term equity 151 / 289 2023 Annual Report investment acquired other than through merger are determined with the following methods: if an investment is acquired through the payment of cash, its initial investment cost consists of the purchase price actually paid and the expenses, taxes and other necessary expenses directly relating to the acquisition of the investment; and if an investment is acquired through the offering of equity securities, its initial investment cost is the fair value of the equity securities offered. For the accounting of the long-term equity investment through which the Company can exercise control over the investees, the Company adopts the cost method in individual financial statements. Control refers to the power over an investee, with which the investor enjoys variable return by participating in the investee’s related activities and is able to exercise its power over the investee to affect the amount of return. In the cost method, the long-term equity investment is measured by initial investment cost. If the investment is added or recovered, the cost of long-term equity investment will be adjusted. The cash dividend or profit declared by the investees to be distributed is recognized as the investment income for the current period. If the Group has joint control over or significant influence on the investee, the long-term equity investment will be measured with the equity method. Joint control refers to joint control over an arrangement in accordance with related agreements, and decisions on the activities relating to the arrangement shall be made only after the parties sharing the control reach an agreement. Significant influence refers to the power over the decision-making on the financial affairs and business policies of the investee, but the investor does not have control or joint control with others over the formulation of those policies. In the equity method, if the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment is higher than the share enjoyed by the Group in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at investment, the excess will be recognized in the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment; if the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment is lower than the share enjoyed by the Group in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at investment, the difference will be recognized in the profit or loss for the current period and the cost of the long- term equity investment will be adjusted simultaneously. In the equity method, after long-term equity investment is acquired, the investment gains or losses and other comprehensive income shall be recognized, and the book value of the long- term equity investment shall be adjusted based on the share in the net gains or losses and other comprehensive income realized by the investees to be enjoyed or assumed. The share in the investee’s net gains or losses to be enjoyed shall be determined based on the fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets at the acquisition of investment, according to the Group’s accounting policies and accounting periods and after net profits of the investee are adjusted with the portion of gains or losses from the internal transactions with its associates and joint ventures that is attributable to the investor based on the share to be enjoyed by it (but if the loss from internal transactions falls in the assets impairment loss, it shall be recognized in full) offset, 152 / 289 2023 Annual Report except for the invested and sold assets that constitute businesses. The book value of long-term equity investment shall be reduced according to the share to be enjoyed by it in the profits or cash dividend declared by the investees to be distributed. For an investee’s net losses recognized by the Group, the book value of the long-term equity investment and other long-term equity that substantially constitute net investment in the investee shall be written down to zero at maximum, except for the extra losses for which the Group is liable. For the investee’s other changes in shareholders’ equity other than net gains or losses, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, the book value of the long-term equity investment will be adjusted, and the changes will be recognized in the shareholders’ equity. 20. Property investment (1). In cost measurement model: Depreciation or amortization methods Investment real estate refers to real estate held for the purpose of earning rent or capital appreciation, or both. Property investments are initially measured by cost. The subsequent expenses relating to an property investment will be recognized in the cost of the property investment if the economic benefits relating to the asset are very likely to flow in and the cost thereof can be measured reliably. Otherwise, they will be recognized in the profit or loss for the current period at the time of being incurred. The Group subsequently measures its property investments with the cost model. The depreciation/amortization of property investments is calculated on a straight line basis. The service life, estimated net residual value and annual depreciation rate of property investments are as follows: Category Service life Estimated net Annual depreciation residual value rate Buildings and 20-30 years 4% 3.2%-4.8% structures Land use right 40-70 years - 1.4%-2.5% 21. Fixed assets (1). Recognition requirements √Applicable □Not applicable A fixed asset will be recognized only if the economic benefits relating thereto are very likely to flow into the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. If meeting the above recognition requirement, the subsequent expenses relating to a fixed asset will be recognized in the cost of the fixed asset, and the book value of the replaced part will be deleted; otherwise, the subsequent expenses will be recognized in the profit or loss for the current period at the time of being incurred. Fixed assets are initially measured by cost. The costs of purchasing a fixed asset include the purchase price, related taxes and other expenses that are incurred before the fixed asset is made to the predetermined ready-for-use status and are directly attributable to the asset. The Group reviews and makes adjustment to, if necessary, the service life, estimated residual value and depreciation method of its fixed assets at least at the end of each year. (2). Depreciation methods √Applicable □Not applicable 153 / 289 2023 Annual Report Depreciation Depreciation Residual value Annual Category period (number methods rate depreciation rate of years) Buildings and Straight-line 10-40 4% 2.4%-9.6% structures method General Straight-line 5-10 4% 9.6%-19.2% equipment method Transportation Straight-line 6 4% 16.0% equipment method 22. Construction in progress √Applicable □Not applicable The cost of construction in progress is determined based on the actual expenses, including the necessary expenses on the works incurred during the construction, the borrowing costs incurred before the works reach the predetermined ready-for-use status that shall be capitalized and other related expenses. The construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets, investment real estate and long-term deferred expenses when it reaches the expected serviceable condition. The standards are as follows: Standards for carrying forward fixed assets Buildings and structures Actual start of use Machinery equipment Completion of installation and commissioning Transportation equipment Obtaining a transportation vehicle driving license Other equipment Actual start of use or completion of installation and debugging 23. Borrowing costs √Applicable □Not applicable Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of the assets qualified for capitalization shall be capitalized, and other borrowing costs shall be recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. When capital expenditures and borrowing costs have already occurred, and the necessary acquisition or production activities to bring the asset to its intended usable or saleable state have begun, borrowing costs begin to be capitalized. The borrowing costs for the assets qualified for capitalization shall cease being capitalized when the assets reach the predetermined ready-for-use or sale status after the acquisition, construction or production. The borrowing costs incurred subsequently will be recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. During the capitalization period, the capitalization amount of interest for each accounting period shall be determined according to the following method: specialized loans shall be determined based on the actual interest expenses incurred in this period, minus temporary deposit interest income or investment income; The general borrowing used is calculated and determined based on the weighted average of the accumulated asset expenses exceeding the special borrowing portion multiplied by the weighted average interest rate of the general borrowing used. If an asset qualified for capitalization is interrupted abnormally for more than three months during its acquisition, construction or production except due to the necessary procedures for it to reach the predetermined ready-for-use or sale status, the capitalization of its borrowing costs will be suspended. The borrowing costs incurred during the interruption will be recognized as expenses and in the profit or loss for the current period until the acquisition, construction or production of the asset is resumed. 154 / 289 2023 Annual Report 24. Biological assets □Applicable √Not applicable 25. Oil and gas assets □Applicable √Not applicable 26. Intangible assets (1). Service life and its determination basis, estimated situation, amortization method or review procedure √Applicable □Not applicable Goodwill is an intangible asset with an uncertain useful life. Such intangible assets are not amortized, and impairment testing is conducted annually regardless of whether there are signs of impairment; During each accounting period, its useful life is reviewed, and if there is evidence that its useful life is limited, accounting treatment is carried out according to the policy of intangible assets with limited useful life. The remaining intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives, with the following useful lives: Category Service life Determination basis Land use right 40-50 years Term of land use rights Software and software 10 years Which is shorter between the copyright contract period and the expected service life (2). The scope of R&D expenditure collection and related accounting treatment methods √Applicable □Not applicable The Group divides expenditures for internal R & D projects into research expenditures and development expenditures. Research expenses are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period at the time of being incurred. Development expenditures can be capitalized only when all of the following conditions are met at the same time, that is, it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset to make them usable or saleable; there is an intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; the way for intangible assets to generate economic benefits, including the ability to prove that there are markets for the products generated by the intangible assets or the intangible assets themselves. Intangible assets that will be used internally can prove their usefulness; there are sufficient technology, financial resources and other resource supports to complete the development of the intangible asset and ability to use or sell the intangible asset; the expenditure attributable to the development of such intangible asset can be reliably measured. Development expenditures that do not satisfy the above conditions are included in the current profits and losses when incurred. 27. Impairment of long-term assets √Applicable □Not applicable The impairment of assets other than inventory, deferred income tax assets, and financial assets is determined using the following method: on the balance sheet date, it is determined whether there are signs of possible impairment of assets. If there are signs of impairment, the Group will estimate their recoverable amount and conduct impairment testing; For goodwill formed by business mergers, intangible assets with uncertain useful lives, and intangible assets that have not yet reached a usable state, regardless of whether there are signs of impairment, impairment testing shall be conducted at least at the end of each year. The recoverable value of an asset is determined based on the fair value of the asset less the disposal expenses or the present value of the expected future cash flows of the asset, whichever is higher. The Group estimates the recoverable value of each asset. For an asset whose recoverable value is hard to be estimated, the Group estimates the recoverable value of the assets group which the asset belongs to. An assets group is identified based on whether 155 / 289 2023 Annual Report the main cash inflows from the Group are independent from the cash inflows from other assets or assets groups. When the recoverable value of an asset or assets group is lower than its book value, the Group will write down its book value to the recoverable value and the amount written down will be recognized in the profit or loss for the current period; meanwhile, it will make provision for the impairment thereof. As for the impairment test of goodwill, the book value of goodwill shall be allocated to the relevant asset groups or asset group combinations in a reasonable manner from the date of purchase. The relevant asset groups or asset group combinations refer to asset groups or asset group combinations that can benefit from the synergistic effects of enterprise mergers, and are not larger than the operating segments determined by the Group. Compare the book value and recoverable amount of asset groups or asset group combinations that contain goodwill. If the recoverable amount is lower than the book value, the impairment loss amount is first offset against the book value of goodwill allocated to the asset group or asset group combination. Then, based on the proportion of the book value of other assets in the asset group or asset group combination except for goodwill, the book value of other assets is proportionally offset. The above assets impairment loss will not be reversed during the subsequent accounting periods. 28. Long-term prepaid expenses √Applicable □Not applicable Long-term prepaid expenses are amortized with the straight-line method and the amortization periods are as follows: Category Amortization period Architectural ornaments of buildings 3-5 years Advertising facilities 3-5 years 29. Contract liabilities √Applicable □Not applicable A contractual liability refers to an obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for the consideration received or receivable from the customer, such as the amount received by the enterprise before the transfer of committed goods or services. 30. Employee compensations (1). Accounting treatment of short-term compensations √Applicable □Not applicable The short-term compensations actually incurred during the accounting period when the employees provide service for the Group are recognized as liabilities and are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period or costs of related assets. (2). Accounting treatment of post-employment benefits √Applicable □Not applicable The employees of the Group participate in the endowment insurance and unemployment insurance managed by the local government, as well as the enterprise annuity, and the corresponding expenditures are included in the relevant asset cost or current profit and loss when incurred. (3). Accounting treatment of severance benefits √Applicable □Not applicable Where the Group provides severance benefits to its employees, the employee compensation liabilities arising from the severance benefits will be recognized, and the amount will be recognized in the profit or loss for the current period on the earlier date below: the date when the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw the severance benefits provided as a result of the 156 / 289 2023 Annual Report employment termination plan or downsizing proposal; or the date when the Group recognizes the costs or expenses relating to the reorganization involving the payment of severance benefits. (4). Accounting treatment of other long-term employee benefits □Applicable √Not applicable 31. Estimated liabilities √Applicable □Not applicable Except for the contingent consideration and liabilities assumed in the merger of enterprises not under the same control, obligations related to contingencies are current obligations assumed by the Group and the performance of such obligations is likely to result in the outflow of economic benefits from the Group. If the relevant amount can be reliably measured, the Group recognizes them as estimated liabilities. Estimated liabilities are initially measured based on the best estimate of the expenses required for the performance of related current obligations, and the risks, uncertainties and time value of money relating to the contingent matters are also factored in. Review the book value of estimated liabilities on the balance sheet date and make appropriate adjustments to reflect the current best estimate. 32. Share-based payment √Applicable □Not applicable Share-based payment is divided into equity-settled share-based payment and cash-settled share-based payment. An equity-settled share-based payment refers to a deal in which the Group uses shares or other equity instruments as the consideration for settlement to obtain services. The equity-settled share-based payment in exchange for services provided by employees shall be measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted to employees. If it can be exercised immediately after the grant, it shall be included in the relevant costs or expenses at fair value on the grant date, and the capital reserve shall be increased accordingly; if it cannot be exercised until the service within the waiting period has been completed or the specified performance conditions have been satisfied on each balance sheet date during the waiting period, the Group will, based on the best estimate of the number of exercisable equity instruments, include the services acquired in the current period, as relevant costs or expenses based on the fair value on the grant date, and increase the capital reserve accordingly . The fair value of equity instruments is determined using market quotations, as detailed in Note XIII. 2. If the equity-settled share payment is canceled, it will be treated as an accelerated exercise on the cancellation day, and the unrecognized amount shall be recognized immediately. If an employee or other party has option to satisfy the non-exercising conditions but fails to satisfy within the waiting period, it shall be treated as cancellation of equity-settled share-based payment. However, if a new equity instrument is granted and if it is determined that the new equity instrument granted is used to replace the canceled equity instrument on the grant date of the new equity instrument, the replacement equity instruments granted in the same way shall be treated in the same way as that for the modification of the terms and conditions for the original equity instrument. 33. Preferred shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments □Applicable √Not applicable 34. Revenue (1). Disclosure of accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition and measurement by business type √Applicable □Not applicable 157 / 289 2023 Annual Report The group recognizes incomes when it has fulfilled its performance obligations in the contract, that is, the customer has acquired the control over the relevant goods or services. The acquisition of the control over related goods or services means the ability to control the use of the goods or the provision of the service and obtain almost all of the economic benefits from them. Commodity sales contracts Sales contracts between the Group and customers typically include commitments to transfer goods, which may vary depending on the customer's agreement. As customers are able to benefit separately from the aforementioned goods or services or use them together with other readily available resources, and there is no significant integration, modification, customization, or high correlation between the aforementioned goods or services, the Group considers them as clearly distinguishable goods and constitutes separate performance obligations. On the basis of comprehensive consideration of the following factors, the Group recognizes revenue at the time when the customer obtains control over the relevant goods: the current right to receive payment for the goods, the transfer of the main risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, the transfer of legal ownership of the goods, the transfer of physical assets of the goods, and the customer's acceptance of the goods. Service contracts The service contracts between the Group and customers usually include performance obligations such as providing the use of shops in the China Commodities City markets and the supporting services for operation , providing hotel accommodation and catering services, providing paid use services for funds to external parties of the Group, and providing collection and payment services. The use of shops in the Commodity City and its supporting services Since customers obtain and consume the economic benefits brought about by the Group’s performance at the time of the performance by the group, the Group regards them as a performance obligation to be fulfilled within a certain period of time and recognizes an income based on the performance progress, except that the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined. Under the output method, the Group determines the performance progress of the provision of the use of shops in the China Commodities City markets and the supporting services for operation based on the number of using days of the shops When the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined, if the cost incurred by the Group is expected to be compensated, the income shall be recognized according to the amount of the cost incurred until the performance progress can be reasonably determined. Hotel accommodation business Since customers obtain and consume the economic benefits brought about by the Group’s performance at the time of the performance by the group, the Group regards them as a performance obligation to be fulfilled within a certain period of time and recognizes an income based on the performance progress, except that the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined. In accordance with the output method, the Group determines the performance progress of hotel accommodation services based on the number of staying days. . When the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined, if the cost incurred by the Group is expected to be compensated, the income shall be recognized according to the amount of the cost incurred until the performance progress can be reasonably determined. Hotel catering business For individual performance obligations in the provision of hotel catering services, the Group prices hotel catering services separately, and uses the completion of hotel catering services as the point of income recognition. Terminable paid use of funds services Since customers obtain and consume the economic benefits brought about by the Group’s performance at the time of the performance by the group, the Group regards them as a performance obligation to be fulfilled within a certain period of time and recognizes an income based on the performance progress, except that the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined. Under the output method, the Group determines the performance progress of the services for the fixed-term paid funding services based on the number of using days of funds. When the performance progress cannot be reasonably determined, if the cost 158 / 289 2023 Annual Report incurred by the Group is expected to be compensated, the income shall be recognized according to the amount of the cost incurred until the performance progress can be reasonably determined. (2). Adopting different business models for similar businesses involves different revenue recognition methods and measurement methods □Applicable √Not applicable 35. Contract cost √Applicable □Not applicable The Group's assets related to contract costs include contract acquisition costs and contract performance costs. According to their liquidity, they are presented in inventory, other current assets and other non-current assets respectively. If the incremental cost incurred by the Group to acquire a contract is expected to be recoverable, it is recognized as an asset as the contract acquisition cost, unless the amortization period of the asset does not exceed one year. If the cost incurred by the Group for the performance of the contract does not apply to the scope of the relevant standards such as inventory, fixed assets or intangible assets, and meets the following conditions at the same time, it is recognized as an asset as the cost of contract performance: (1) This cost is directly related to a current or expected contract, including direct labor, direct materials, manufacturing expenses (or similar expenses), costs clearly borne by the customer, and other costs incurred solely due to the contract; (2) This cost increases the resources that the enterprise will use in the future to fulfill its contractual obligations; (3) This cost is expected to be recovered. The Group amortizes the assets related to contract costs on the same basis as the revenue recognition related to the assets, and includes them in the current profit and loss. For assets related to contract costs, if the book value is higher than the difference between the following two items, the Group will make provision for impairment for the excess part and recognize it as asset impairment loss: (1) The expected remaining consideration that the enterprise can obtain from the transfer of goods or services related to the asset; (2) The estimated cost to be incurred for the transfer of the relevant goods or services. 36. Government grants √Applicable □Not applicable A government grant is recognized when it can meet the requirements and can be received. If a government grant falls in monetary assets, it will be measured by the amount received or receivable. If a government grant does not fall in monetary assets, it will be measured by fair value. If the fair value of a grant cannot be determined reliably, it will be measured by its nominal amount. A government grant prescribed by government documents to be used to acquire or construct or otherwise form long-term assets will be deemed as an asset-related government grant; if no government documents have express provisions, the grants that are used to acquire or construct or otherwise form long-term assets will be deemed as asset-related government grants and others as income-related government grants. The Group recognizes government subsidies received using the total amount method. Government subsidies related to income, used to compensate for related costs or losses in future periods, are recognized as deferred income and are recognized in this period's profit or loss or offset against related costs during the period of recognition of related costs or losses; For compensating for related costs or losses that have already occurred, they are directly recognized in this period's profit and loss or offset against related costs. The Group recognizes government subsidies received using the total amount method. 159 / 289 2023 Annual Report The asset-related government grants shall be used to offset the book value of related assets; or recognized as deferred income, and included in profit and loss in stages under a reasonable and systematic method during the useful life of the related assets (but government grants measured at a nominal amount shall be directly included in the current profit and loss); if the relevant asset is sold, transferred, scrapped or damaged before the end of its useful life, the balance of the undistributed deferred income shall be transferred to the current profit and loss when the asset is disposal. 37. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities √Applicable □Not applicable The Group recognizes deferred income tax with the balance sheet liability method based on the temporary difference between the book value of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date and the tax base and that between the book value of the items that have not been recognized as assets and liabilities but whose tax base can be determined according to the tax law and the tax base thereof. All taxable temporary differences will be recognized as deferred income tax liabilities, unless: (1) Taxable temporary differences arise in the following transactions: initial recognition of goodwill, or initial recognition of assets or liabilities arising from individual transactions with the following characteristics: the transaction is not a business merger, the transaction does not affect accounting profits or taxable income or deductible losses at the time of occurrence, and the initially recognized assets and liabilities do not result in equal amounts of taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences; (2) For taxable temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates, the timing of the reversal of such temporary differences can be controlled and it is likely that they will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. For the deductible temporary differences and the deductible losses and tax deductions that can be carried forward to the subsequent years, the Group recognizes the deferred income tax assets arising therefrom within the limit of the future taxable income that is very likely to be obtained and used to be offset against the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax deductions, unless: (1) Deductible temporary differences arise in the following individual transactions: the transaction is not a business merger, the transaction does not affect accounting profits or taxable income or deductible losses at the time of occurrence, and the initially recognized assets and liabilities do not result in an equal amount of taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences; (2) For deductible temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates, such temporary differences are likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future and are likely to receive taxable income used to offset such temporary differences in the future. The Group measures, on the balance sheet date, the deferred income tax assets and liabilities based on the applicable tax rate for the period when the assets are expected to be recovered or the liabilities are expected to be paid off, in accordance with the tax law, which will also reflect the impact of the way of the expected recovery of assets or repayment of liabilities on the income tax on the balance sheet date. The Group reviews the book value of deferred income tax assets on the balance sheet date. If it is very likely to be unable to acquire adequate taxable income to be offset against the benefits of deferred income tax assets in the future, the book value of deferred income tax assets will be written down. On the balance sheet date, the Group re-evaluates the unrecognized deferred income tax assets and recognizes the same to the extent that it is very likely to acquire adequate taxable income to reverse all or part of the deferred income tax assets. If all the following requirements are met, deferred income tax assets and liabilities will be presented in net amount after offsetting: the Group has the legal right to settle the current income tax assets and liabilities in net amount; the deferred income tax assets and liabilities are related to the income tax levied by an identical tax authority on an identical taxpayer, or are 160 / 289 2023 Annual Report related to the income tax levied by an identical tax authority on different taxpayers, but during each important period when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities are reversed, the involved taxpayers intend to settle the current income tax assets and liabilities in net amount or acquire assets or pay off debts simultaneously. 38. Lease √Applicable □Not applicable Judgment basis and accounting treatment methods for simplifying short-term leases and low-value asset leases as a lessee √Applicable □Not applicable The Group recognizes leases with a lease term not exceeding 12 months and excluding purchase options as short-term leases on the commencement date of the lease term; Leases with lower value when a single leased asset is considered a brand new asset are recognized as low-value asset leases. The Group chooses not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. In each period of the lease term, it is included in the relevant asset cost or current profit and loss on a straight-line basis. Classification criteria and accounting treatment methods for leasing as a lessor √Applicable □Not applicable The lease that transfers virtually all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the leased asset on the lease commencement date is a finance lease, and other leases are operating leases. Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over each period of the lease term, and variable lease payments not included in lease receipts are included in profit or loss for the current period when actually incurred. The capitalized initial direct expenses shall be amortized on the same basis recognized with the rental income during the lease period, and shall be included in the current profit and loss in installments. 39. Other important accounting policies and accounting estimates √Applicable □Not applicable Measurement of fair value The Group measures the fair values of equity instruments investments on each balance sheet date. Fair value refers to the price received from the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability by a market player in the orderly transactions on the measurement date. For the assets and liabilities which are measured or disclosed by fair value in the financial statements, the levels of fair value are determined based on the lowest-level input of important significance for the overall measurement of fair values: Level 1 input is the unadjusted offer price for an identical asset or liability that can be obtained in an active market on the measurement date; Level 2 inputs are the inputs that are directly or indirectly observable for related assets or liabilities other than Level 1 inputs; Level 3 inputs are the inputs that are observable for related assets or liabilities. On each balance date, the Group re-evaluates the assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements and keep being measured by fair value so as to determine whether to change the measurement levels of fair value. Significant accounting judgments and estimates In the preparation of financial statements, the management need to make judgments, estimates and assumptions, which will affect the presented amounts and disclosure of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the balance sheet date. However, the uncertainty of these assumptions and estimates may result in significant adjustments to the book value of future affected assets or liabilities. Judgments When applying the Group’s accounting policies, the management have made the following judgments which have had significant influence on the amounts recognized in the financial statements: Operating lease - as the lessor 161 / 289 2023 Annual Report The Group has signed lease contracts for the property investments. The Group thinks that according to the terms of the lease contracts, the Group retains all major risks and compensations on the titles of those real estate properties and thus handles them as operating leases. Partition between property investments and fixed assets The Group classifies the buildings and structures leased out other than for the main businesses such as market and hotel services as well as the auxiliary land use rights thereof as property investments, including but not limited to the auxiliary banking and catering outlets for market operation and the auxiliary service outlets for hotels. Other buildings and structures leased out are classified as fixed assets. Business model The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the Group’s business model for the management of financial assets. When judging the business model, the Group factors in the enterprise evaluation, the way of reporting financial assets performance to key officers, the risks affecting the performance of financial assets, the way of managing financial assets and the way of related business management personnel obtaining remunerations. When assessing whether to aim at the collection of contractual cash flow, the Group needs to analyze the reasons, time, frequency and value for sale of the financial assets to be sold before the expiry dates thereof. Characteristics of contractual cash flow The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the characteristics of the contractual cash flow of the financial assets. For the judgment on whether the contractual cash flow is the repayment of principal and the payment of interest on outstanding principal, including the evaluation of the adjustment to the time value of money, it should be judged whether it is significantly different from the benchmark cash flow; for the financial assets with the early repayment characteristic, it should be judged whether the fair value of the early repayment characteristic is extremely low. Uncertainties of estimates The following are key assumptions regarding the future at the balance sheet date and other key sources of estimation uncertainty that may result in significant adjustments to the book value of assets and liabilities in future accounting periods. Impairment of financial instruments The Group evaluates the impairment of financial instruments with the expected credit loss model. To apply the model, the Group needs to make significant judgments and estimates and take into account all reasonable and evidenced information, including forward-looking information. When making these judgments and estimates, the Group infers the expected changes in the debtors’ credit risks based on their historical repayment data, in combination with the economic policies, macroeconomic indicators and industry risks. Different estimates may affect the provisions for impairment and the provision that has been made for impairment may not necessarily be equal to the actual amount of impairment loss in the future. Net realizable value of property inventory The Group’s property inventory is measured by cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. For the calculation of net realizable value, assumptions and estimates should be used. If the management adjust the estimated price and the costs and expenses to be incurred until the completion, it will affect the estimate of the net realizable value of the inventory and the difference will affect the provision for inventory depreciation. Impairment of non-current assets other than financial assets (excluding goodwill) The Group determines, on the balance sheet date, whether the non-current assets other than financial assets have a sign of being impaired. Non-current assets other than financial assets are subject to impairment testing when there are indications that their book value is irrecoverable. When the book value of an asset or a group of assets is higher than its recoverable value, i.e. fair value less the disposal expenses or the present value of expected future cash flow, whichever is higher, the asset or group has been impaired. For the fair value less the disposal expenses, the Group refers to the agreed selling price or observable market price of the similar asset in a fair transaction, less the cost increase directly attributable to the disposal of the asset. When predicting the present value of future cash flows, the management must estimate the expected future cash flows of the asset or group of assets and select an 162 / 289 2023 Annual Report appropriate discount rate. When identifying a group of assets, the management consider whether the smallest identifiable group of assets can generate income and cash flows independently from other departments or units, or the income and cash inflows generated thereby are mostly independent from other departments or units, and also take into account the way of managing or monitoring production and operating activities and the way of making decisions on the continued use or disposal of the asset. Please refer to Note VI. 21 for details. Goodwill impairment The Group tests goodwill for impairment at least annually. This requires estimating the present value of the future cash flows of the asset group or combination of asset groups to which the goodwill is allocated. When estimating the present value of future cash flows, the Group needs to estimate the cash flows generated by future asset groups or combinations of asset groups, and at the same time select an appropriate discount rate to determine the present value of future cash flows. Please refer to Note VI. 27 for details. Fair value of unlisted equity investment The Group determines the fair value of non-listed equity investments based on the expected future cash flows discounted at the current discount rate of other financial instruments with similar contractual terms and risk characteristics. This requires the Group to estimate the expected future cash flows, credit risk, volatility and discount rate, which brings uncertainties. Development expenses When determining the amount of capitalization, management must make assumptions on the expected future cash flow, the applicable discount rate, and the expected benefit period of the asset. Deferred income tax assets To the extent that it is very likely for the Group to have enough taxable income to be offset against the deductible losses, the Group shall recognize deferred income tax assets in connection with the outstanding deductible losses. This requires the management to use lots of judgments to estimate the acquisition time and amount of the taxable income to be acquired in the future to determine the amount of deferred income tax assets to be recognized, in consideration of the tax payment planning strategy. Lessee incremental borrowing interest rate For leases where the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined, the Group uses the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate to calculate the present value of the lease payments. When determining the incremental borrowing rate, the Group takes the observable interest rate as the reference basis for determining the incremental borrowing rate according to the economic environment it is in. On this basis, the Group adjusts the reference interest rate according to its own situation, the underlying asset situation, the lease term, the amount of lease liabilities and other specific conditions of the lease business to obtain the applicable incremental borrowing rate. 40.

(hereinafter referred to as "Fuxing") jointly established Industrial Fund Yiwu China Commodities City Fuxing Investment Center (LLP) (hereinafter referred to as the "FOF"), the Fund of Funds has invested in 12 sub-funds including Yiwu Shangfu Chuangzhi Investment Center (LLP) (hereinafter referred to as "Shangfu Chuangzhi Fund"). CCCF, as a limited partner, subscribed RMB 998 million in the FOF, accounting for 49.9% of the subscribed capital. The paid-in capital was RMB 102.92 million, and there is no deadline for the payment for the unpaid capital contribution. The other limited partner of the FOF is Fuxing. CCCF also contributed RMB 9.8 million, 49% of total shares, to jointly establish Yiwu China Commodity City Investment Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “CCCIM”) with Fuxing as the general partner of the above-mentioned FOF and sub-funds. The FOF and CCCIM are both under the control of Fuxing and are associates of CCCF. As a limited partner of Shangfu Chuangzhi Fund, CCCF has subscribed and paid in a capital contribution of RMB 617.51 million. Since the capital contribution was guaranteed by Fuxing's fixed income, it was recognized as other non-current financial assets. The above paid-in capital contribution made by CCCF to the FOF has been contributed to Shangfu Chuangzhi Fund together with the capital contribution of Fuxing to the FoF through the FOF as a limited partner. With the capital contribution from the FOF as a limited partner and CCCF’s capital contribution to Shangfu Chuangzhi Fund 184 / 289 2023 Annual Report as a limited partner, Shangfu Chuangzhi Fund made capital contribution of RMB 820.54 million to subscribe for the increase in the registered capital of Hubei Provincial Asset Management Co., Ltd. to acquire 22.667% equity therein. In 2018, CCCF learned during its after-investment follow-up management that Fuxing and its actual controller ZHU Yidong were suspected of having committed a criminal offense and the 22.667% equity held by Shangfu Chuangzhi Fund in Hubei Provincial Asset Management Co., Ltd. was frozen by the Public Security Bureau of Shanghai due to Fuxing’s contribution to the sources of the capital contribution. The Group believes that, on December 31, 2023, the Group’s investment in the FOF and Shangfu Chuangzhi Fund was non-related to Fuxing’s investment, and there was no indication of impairment of the underlying assets. Although they were still frozen, that had no impact on the Group’s equity. Therefore, there was no impairment. However, for the equity investment in CCCIM, a full impairment provision has been made since 2018. 185 / 289 2023 Annual Report 18. Other equity instruments investment (1).

Risks associated with financial instruments 1. Risk of financial instruments √Applicable □Not applicable The risks associated with financial instruments faced by the Group in regular activities mainly include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The risk management policies of the Group for these risks are outlined below. The Group diversifies its investment and business portfolio appropriately to diversify financial instrument risks, and reduces risks concentrated in any single industry, specific region, or specific counterparty by formulating corresponding risk management policies. Credit risk The Group only deals with the recognized third parties with good reputation. According to its policy, the Group needs to carry out credit review on all clients who require to deal with the Group on credit. In addition, the Group keeps monitoring the balance of accounts receivable to ensure it will not face any material bad debt risk. For the transactions settled other than in the functional currency of related business entities, unless with specific approval of the Group’s credit control department, the Group will not provide the conditions for dealing on credit. As the counterparties to the transactions of cash are banks with good reputation and high credit ratings, the credit risk of those financial instruments is relatively low. Other financial assets of the Group include accounts receivable, other receivables, other current assets, debt investments, long-term receivables, and other non-current assets. The credit risk of these financial assets arises from counterparty defaults, and the maximum risk exposure is equal to the book value of these instruments. The Group also faces credit risks due to providing financial guarantees, as disclosed in Note XVI. 2. Due to the Group only engaging in transactions with recognized and reputable third parties, no collateral is required. Credit risk is centrally managed based on customers/counterparties, geographic regions, and industries. As the clients from which the Group’s accounts receivable are receivable are scattered in different sectors and industries, there’s no material credit risk concentrated within the Group. The Group does not have any collaterals or other credit enhancements for the balance of its accounts receivable. Criteria for significant increase in credit risk The Group evaluates, on each balance sheet date, whether the credit risk of related financial instruments has increased significantly since the initial recognition thereof. The main criteria for the Group to judge a significant increase in credit risk are significant changes in one or more of the following indicators: the operating environment of the debtor, internal and external credit ratings, and significant adverse changes in actual or expected operating results. Definition of the assets whose credit has been impaired The main criterion for determining credit impairment in the Group is that if internal or external information shows that the contract amount may not be fully recovered before considering any credit enhancement held. The credit impairment of financial assets may be caused by multiple events together and may not necessarily be caused by an individually identifiable event. Credit risk exposure 252 / 289 2023 Annual Report Disclose the credit risk exposure of the book balance of financial assets according to the credit risk level, and disclose the expected credit losses for the next 12 months and the credit losses for the entire duration of the asset separately. The Group directly accounts for accounts receivable using simplified methods and provides impairment provisions for expected credit losses of other accounts receivable in the next 12 months using general methods. The quantitative data of the Group's credit risk exposure arising from accounts receivable and other accounts receivable are detailed in Note VII. 5 and Note VII. 9. Liquidity risk The Group's goal is to use various financing methods to maintain a balance between the sustainability and flexibility of financing. The Group finances its operations through funds generated from operations and borrowings.

The Group manages interest rate risk by closely monitoring changes in interest rates and regularly reviewing borrowings. 253 / 289 2023 Annual Report As of December 31, 2023, the Group had a long-term loan of RMB 763 million in its long-term liabilities. The interest rate is adjusted based on the benchmark loan interest rate on that day at the end of each year, and will not be adjusted in the middle of the year. Therefore, the management believes that the risk of changes in market interest rates is relatively low. Foreign exchange rate risk The Group faces trading exchange rate risks. Such risks are caused by sales or purchases made by certain business units in currencies other than their bookkeeping currency. Considering the Group’s short time of inventory and timely collection of accounts receivable, the management believe that its foreign exchange rate risk is relatively low. Price risk of equity instrument investments The price risk of equity instrument investments refers to the risk of the fair value of equity securities decreasing due to the changes in stock indices and value of individual securities. As of December 31, 2023, the Group was exposed to equity instrument investment price risk arising from individual equity instrument investments classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss (Note VII. 2) and classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (Note VII. 18). The Group manages risks by holding investment portfolios with different risks. The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the Group's net profit and loss and other comprehensive income net after tax to every 10% change in the fair value of equity instrument investments based on the book value at the balance sheet date, assuming that all other variables remain constant. 2023 Equity Other instrument Total shareholders' Net profit or loss comprehensive investment equity income net after tax book value Equity instrument increase/(decrease) increase/(decrease) increase/(decrease) investment Fair value increase/decrease by10% Investment in the equity instruments that are measured by fair value and of which the changes 556,897,379.17 - 41,767,303.44 41,767,303.44 in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income Equity instrument investments measured at fair 15,130,895.00 1,134,817.13 - 1,134,817.13 value through profit or loss 2022 Equity Other instrument Total shareholders' Net profit or loss comprehensive investment equity income net after tax book value Equity instrument increase/(decrease) increase/(decrease) increase/(decrease) investment Fair value increase/decrease 254 / 289 2023 Annual Report by10% Investment in the equity instruments that are measured by fair value and of which the changes 499,200,803.85 - 37,440,060.29 37,440,060.29 in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income Equity instrument investments measured at fair 23,651,565.00 1,773,867.38 - 1,773,867.38 value through profit or loss The Group manages and adjusts its capital structure based on the changes in the economic situation and the risk characteristics of related assets.

In the registration process of this grant, considering that three of the intended incentive recipients determined on the reserved grant date had voluntarily given up and no longer qualified as incentive recipients, the actual number of incentive objects subscribed for this time was 31, and the number of subscribed shares was 2.34 million . On November 4, 2021, the registration procedures for the reserved grant of restricted stocks involved in this incentive plan were completed, and the Shanghai Branch of China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited issued the "Securities Change Registration Certificate".

According to the provisions of Chapter 14, Principle of Restricted Stock Repurchase and Cancellation in the Company's Incentive Plan, the 45 incentive recipients who had been transferred or resigned no longer met the relevant provisions of the Company's incentive plan. The Board of Directors of the Company decided to cancel the qualification of the above- mentioned incentive objects and repurchase and cancel all 5,200,000.00 restricted shares that had been granted but had not yet been unlocked for sale. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Incentive Plan, the repurchase prices of the restricted stocks in the first and reserved grant would be adjusted.

(“CCCF”) and Shanghai Fuxing Industry Group Co., Ltd. (“Fuxing Group”) jointly established an industry fund Yiwu China Commodities City Fuxing Investment Center (Limited Partnership) (hereinafter referred to as the “FOF”). The FOF as a limited partner invested in 12 sub-funds including Yiwu Shangfu Chuangzhi Investment Center (Limited Partnership) (“Shangfu Chuangzhi Fund”). CCCF subscribed for capital contribution of RMB 998 million in the FOF as a limited partner, accounting for 49.9% of the total capital contribution, and has paid in RMB 102.92 million. The unpaid portion of its subscribed capital contribution was promised to be RMB 895.08 million and was not subject to a term. CCCF also made capital contribution of RMB 9.8 million (49% equity) to Yiwu China Commodities City Investment and Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the “CCCIM”), which was a general partner of the above FOF and sub-funds. Fuxing made capital contribution of 51% to and had control over CCCIM. Shangfu Chuangzhi Fund raised funds of RMB 823.36 million in total. The FOF has subscribed for and paid in capital contribution of RMB 205.84 million as a limited partner (including the above RMB 102.92 million from CCCIM and the rest was contributed by Fuxing, the other limited partner of the FOF). As the other limited partner of Shangfu Chuangzhi Fund, CCCF has separately subscribed for and paid in capital contribution of RMB 617.51 million. In addition, neither the Group nor CCCF did not invest in other sub-funds of the FOF. Shangfu Chuangzhi Fund subsequently subscribed to the increased registered capital of Hubei Asset Management Co., Ltd. for RMB 820.54 million, holding 22.6667% of its equity. In 2019, 9 out of the 12 sub-funds mentioned above were cancelled. In 2018, CCCF learned during its after-investment follow-up management that Fuxing and its actual controller ZHU Yidong were suspected of having committed a criminal offense and the 22.667% equity held by Shangfu Chuangzhi Fund in Hubei Provincial Asset Management Co., Ltd. was frozen by the Public Security Bureau of Shanghai due to Fuxing’s contribution to the sources of the capital contribution. As of the date of approval for the financial statements, the relevant equity was still frozen.
