Harmonious employee relations: Haier Smart Home has strived to protect the health and safety of our employees in areas affected by COVID-19, while maintaining our pledge to deliver quality service to customers. In China, being Haier Smart Home’s home market, not a single employee’s living or health suffered due to the pandemic. In the United States, the largest overseas market of our company, GE Appliances was among the top 20 in the 2021 list of Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America and came second as The Employers with the Healthiest Work Environment of Kentucky in 2021.

According to the ‘2021 Global Smart Home Invention Patent Top100’ released by IPRdaily, Haier Smart Home occupied the first place with 4,535 published patent applications in 2021. In the same year, GEA was named the ‘Smart Home Appliance Company of the Year’ by IoT Breakthrough for the fourth consecutive year in the United States. Growth Opportunities and strategic initiatives Achievements of 2021 is behind us. In 2022, we may face challenges such as declining demand in China’s real estate market, elevated international shipping costs and high commodity prices. However, the Company will remain proactive and fully committed to achieving rapid growth in 2022, with growth coming from capturing leadership positions in categories with high growth potential, as well as from 5/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report innovating service models and creating new revenue stream surrounding Haier Smart Home's loyal user base. The Company currently operates three main categories of products – 1) major home appliances including refrigerators, washing machines, kitchen appliances; 2) heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) category including air conditioners, water heaters and water purifiers; and 3) small home appliances. Consumer preference and technological trends relating to these three categories are different. At this stage, Haier Smart Home’s market positions and competitive edge also vary in these three areas. However, we will assemble all necessary resources, including talents and funds, to tackle our weakness and support high-quality sustainable development in the next three years. Since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, consumers’ expectations for home living experience have become higher and higher. Their demand for better health, food freshness preservation, nutrition and IoT have ceaselessly propelled the innovation of kitchen appliances. In 2021, the unit price of refrigerator and kitchen appliances has recorded material surge, exhibiting an increasingly obvious trend in product upgrade. Haier Smart Home’s comprehensive brand portfolio and proactive innovation based on consumer insights have allowed us to deliver more competitive refrigerators and kitchen appliances, thereby to achieving growth rate double that of the worldwide industry. Global R&D platform of Haier’s refrigerator has provided support to the rapid growth of refrigerators in the European and Australian markets, while the solid competitive edge of GEA and FPA kitchen appliances have continuously strengthened the competitiveness of kitchen appliances in the China market. All of these demonstrate Haier Smart Home’s competitive edge in global product R&D and operation system. In terms of clothing caring, the Company's product range and technologies portfolio are a long way ahead of our competitors. High-end products such as the Twin two-in-one washing and drying machine have been highly recognized by the market, which enabled us to cement a leading position in the market segment. Great user reputation and strong R&D capabilities of Haier’s washing machine have enabled us to make breakthrough in the dryer market in China in 2021, recording a revenue increase of 203% and topping the industry in terms of market share. In the United States, the sales volume of large volume front-loads washing machine which was created with our integrated global R&D resources has reached 550,000 units in 2021, representing growth exceeding 30% as compared to 2020. Having established a leading market position in the categories of kitchen taste and clothing caring, Haier Smart Home’s plan for the next three years is to further expand our leading edge, increase our market share and profit margins in various markets around the globe. 6/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report For the HVAC and water appliances businesses, such categories require professional interior finish and have a longer product cycle. The core competitive elements lie in whole supply chain cost competitiveness and technical consistency, as well as support by professional channel. In 2021, the Company achieved a market share of over 40% for electric water heaters, and the revenue of gas water heaters recorded a year-on-year increase of 51%. We have also gained further market share in the highly fragmented gas water heater market. Consistent investments in combustion technology, sterilization materials and energy efficiency technology have enabled us to have the largest market share in water heater business in China. In the United States, GEA's water heater plant in South Carolina is also going to deliver high-quality gas water heater products to American consumers. The Company came in third place in China’s domestic air conditioning market, with market share increased by more than 2 percentage points in 2021. In the commercial air conditioning market, with our magnetic bearing compressor technology solution which has the technological advantages of high energy efficiency, low operating costs and minimal noise, we have achieved 50% market share in this sub-segment. In 2022, the Company will ramp up investments in the core components of the air conditioning industry and develop distributor channels in collaboration with other internal businesses such as the water heater business, so as to realize large-scale and high-quality development of our air conditioning business. After preparation of half year, we announced in late 2021 the investment plan for launching a small home appliance business division to further invest in emerging categories of home appliances, such as cleaning appliances, small kitchen appliances, and personal care gadgets. The small home appliance industry is having three favorable growth drivers – technological upgrade, smart interconnection, and innovative experience. It is also becoming an industry with a global integrated supply chain, with majority of production based in China. Meanwhile, small home appliances are becoming smarter. For example, in the field of vacuuming robots, sensors, scenarios, and interactions produce wealth of data, which enable replacement of manual labor by automatic cleaning. The merge of innovative experience with technological breakthrough has redefined a new market for automatic vacuuming robots and automatic floor cleaners, ushering the industry into a stage of rapid growth. Through focused investment in categories with high growth potential, I believe Haier Smart Home can become one of the key players in the thriving small home appliance market. This business line may potentially contribute 10% of the Company's revenue in the next three years and can become a crucial part of Haier Smart Home’s smart home scenarios. The development of small home appliance business will ride on Haier’s brand strength, global scale, in-depth user insight and product definition capabilities, and will take the form of a jointly built ecosystem alliance, accelerating its development through collaborations. Haier Smart Home will make full use of China’s ample manufacturing capacity of small 7/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report home appliances and pull together global technological resources to provide users around the world with healthy, smart, and joyful consumption experience with small home appliances. Haier Smart Home will fully leverage the benefits of globalization. In China, we intend to further capture growth opportunities arising from market consolidation in all categories. In the United States, strong momentum in the real estate market and infrastructure construction will power home appliance consumption. In Europe and other markets, we have great potential to increase market shares in various product categories. Executional Enablers : Leverage strength and attack weakness Growth does not appear out of nowhere. The realization of growth depends on the resolute pursuit of the Company’s mission by all Haier makers as well as our forward-looking and sustainable business model. As a Fortune Global 500 company, Haier Smart Home is always ambitious. Our culture and management system encourage all management staff and employees to push through their own limits and take on challenges. Merely following market average growth demonstrates incompetence. In 2022 and years to come, we may still live in an era when human co-exists with COVID-19 and global macro-economic environment becomes more volatile. The pandemic has had a significant impact on the home appliance industry. It has changed the operating environment of enterprises, people’s mode of working, and consumers’ shopping patterns. It has also accelerated technology advancement and application of information technology, and digitalization reshaped operation model of businesses. Enterprises that strive to adapt to this environment will become more resilient and capable of gaining the trust of broader users. Meanwhile, shareholders, employees, customers, communities and governments in both China and other regions expect enterprises to shoulder more social responsibilities and promote sustainable economic development. In my opinion, by adhering to our strategies of global brand creation, localized operations, hyper-focus on user experience, and persisting in process reengineering by digitalization, Haier Smart Home will become more resilient in coping with challenges due to volatile economic climate, while paving a solid foundation for sustainable growth. Haier has implemented localized operations in major markets around the world with majority of products sold in regional markets coming from local production with the dedication of local employees and by encouraging continued investment in local communities. For larger markets such as the United States, Japan, and India, we are widely recognized as a local corporate citizen who have made significant contribution to the respective local economy. GE Appliances, a wholly owned subsidiary of Haier in the United States, has been the largest investor in the local United States appliance industry for the past five 8/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report years. Since Haier's acquisition of GE Appliances, we have supported its expansion of local supply chain, built new factory, and increased local investment. In the past five years, 3,000 new jobs have been created with new investment exceeding USD 2 billion. By bringing Haier's local brands closer to consumers and integrating them into the local community, while taking advantage of the parent company's technological and operating platforms, such a business model will help us avoid adverse impacts such as trade barriers and obtain more sustainable competitive advantages. Haier Smart Home has implemented a global high-end brand creation strategy and strives to gain a prominent position in the high-end market. The reason why we maintain focus on the high-end market is our belief that fulfilling the ultimate experience of consumers is the driving force of our Company's progress. Home appliances are not only functional but could also be artistic, aesthetic, and technological. For example, we have launched a zero-distance built-in refrigerator in line with the trend of home appliance and home furnishing integration, and introduced novel product such as the "Zhongzihemei" ( 美和子中 ) laundry combo which can perform three functions of washing, drying and fabric caring within one machine. High-end brand strategy also enables us to generate greater user value to offset the adverse impacts from commodity and labor costs. The Company’s leading position in the field of major home appliances is not only attributed to its market share, but also in its dedicated attention to customer experience, which creates one generation of exquisite and amazing products after another. The key lies in the coordination between the systems of product innovation and customer interaction. Since our establishment, we have been focusing on what our customers desire, creating standards for quality and services in China. Consumers’ recognition is Haier’s achievement. Such value system is not merely slogan but has deeply fused into the ideology of top management and front-line personnel. Going forward, more and more interactions will take place on e-commerce channels and online communities. In addition to humanized face-to-face channels, we will strengthen digital marketing and develop a big data interactive system for countless users. Cloud computing, big data and IoT offer massive possibilities for more agile and intelligent enterprise operations in the future, and Haier Smart Home should also evolve to adapt. In 2022, we will strive to promote processes reengineering driven by digitalization and press forward with the optimization of operational efficiency from digitalization of R&D and design, logistics and service processes, and interconnected factories. Haier Smart Home’s key process reengineering project in 2022 aims to realize digitalization of inventory management in the entire end-to-end supply chain process and optimize the allocation of working capital. Entering 2022 with High Confidence 9/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report Mainstream view of the market is that it will become increasingly difficult for leading enterprises to maintain relatively high growth in a mature industry such as home appliances. But I am optimistic that Haier Smart Home will enjoy unique growth opportunities. First, our strategic planning and core competencies are highly aligned, with the management of Haier Smart Home adhering to the original vision of Haier’s first-generation entrepreneurs like never before. In other words, all Haier makers are to promise global consumers a wonderful home life beyond their imagination, and to become their most reliable partner for designing and serving their home requirements and creating smart experiences. Furthermore, technological advances are driving the home appliances industry to become an increasingly imaginative sector. All Haier team members around the world expect to participate in and influence this historic process of innovation. Washing machine has first freed us from time constraints. Large refrigerators not only keep our food fresh, but also save the need for frequent shopping trips, then there is the ideal air environment that we can enjoy. Coming up next, the integration of technology and scenarios will become a stronger driving force. Oven and pre-prepared meal enable consumers to enjoy cuisine of master chef’s quality at home, and consumer robots will take care of cleaning and food preparation. Technology will enrich our lives in ways beyond our expectations, and it is inevitable that consumers, whether in China, the United States or Europe, will love and embrace the excitement brought by technologically advanced home appliances. Haier Smart Home’s mission is to elevate to a whole new level through creating products and innovating services, providing consumers iterative upgrades of products and service experience that integrate technological innovation, personalized services, and smart home scenarios. In 2022, our established strategy will continue to be firmly implemented. Ahead of us is a challenging, long-term, and fruitful journey, while our ride to the future gives all of us at Haier a chance to carry out our mission and contribute to the well-being of all stakeholders. Lastly, I would like to thank our users around the world for choosing Haier and all our shareholders for their trust in Haier Smart Home!

II. INTRODUCTION OF THE INDUSTRY WHERE THE COMPANY OPERATES DURING THE REPOTING PERIOD (I) Industry Overview for 2021 1. The Chinese Market In the face of a complex and volatile domestic and international environment in 2021, China's economy continued to steer development towards high-quality growth. In terms of the home appliance 30/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report industry as a whole, it has entered the development stage focusing on replacement. Overall sales demand became stable, and the average product price was enhanced due to product upgrade. Aggregated data from CMM showed that the retail sales of China's major home appliance market reached RMB 481.8 billion in 2021, a year-on-year growth of 8.5% from 2020; the retail sales of the kitchen appliance market was RMB 231.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 8.7%. By category: (1) The refrigerator and washing machine industries have benefited from average price increase brought about by continuous product upgrade, retail revenue continued to grow. According to data from CMM, retail sales of the refrigerator and washing machine industries reached RMB 98.1 billion and RMB 73.5 billion respectively in 2021, representing growth of 7.6% and 7.3% respectively as compared to 2020. (2) Impacted by factors including the real estate slowing down and the summer temperature lower than previous years, retail sales of the air conditioning industry reached RMB 157.6 billion with a slight growth of 0.5%. (3) With increasing popularity of integrated stoves, which has substitution effects on traditional kitchen appliance products such as range hoods and gas stoves and as data from CMM showed, retail sales of the range hood industry in 2021 amounted to RMB 38.2 billion, representing a growth of 7.0% as compared to 2020; retail sales of the integrated stove industry reached RMB 26.7 billion, representing a surge of 43.5% from 2020. (4) The water heater industry’s overall performance was stable, with retail sales amounted to RMB 60.8 billion, up 0.8% from 2020. (5) Emerging categories such as clothes dryers and dishwashers have entered a stage of rapid growth after years of incubation: according to CMM’s statistics, the retail sales of dishwashers reached RMB 11.3 billion in 2021, a rise of 20.2% from 2020; the retail sales of clothes dryers amounted to RMB 7.6 billion in 2021, a jump of 123.5% compared to that of 2020. (6) The pandemic has caused people to stay home for extended period of time, alongside product innovation, user demand for cleaning appliances and emerging small kitchen appliances have been stimulated. For instance, according to data from CMM, retail sales of cleaning appliances reached RMB 27.8 billion in 2021, an increase of 23% year-on-year. According to statistics from Euromonitor, the sales volume of air fryers in the Chinese market recorded a year-on-year growth of 37% in 2021. As the market as a whole entered the development stage focusing on replacement, users’ concerns and industry trends have displayed new characteristics. (1) When purchasing products, users shifted their focus solely on functionalities and cost- effectiveness to a comprehensive consideration of brand identity, diversity of experience, design originality of products. (2) In terms of industry development trends: Firstly, against the backdrop of quality-of-life improvements, especially under the influence of the pandemic, users' health awareness has greatly enhanced, leading to increased sales opportunities for health-conscious and smart home appliances. For instance, smart large-sized refrigerators, freshness preserving refrigerators and T door refrigerators have fulfilled user’s needs for healthy diets, product intelligence, and refined storage space. Products such as washers with health-boosting sterilization 31/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report features, washer dryer combos and smart washing machines have offered enhanced laundry and garment- wearing experience. Air conditioning products have also transitioned from simple temperature adjustments to provision of a healthy and comfortable environment. Products featuring fresh air, sterilization, air purification, and self-cleaning functions were favoured by the public. Secondly, consumption upgrade continued: CMM data showed that in the offline market, the share of retail sales of refrigerators with unit price above RMB 15,000 has grown from 8% in 2020 to 13% in 2021. Thirdly, suite-oriented and scenario-based integration of home appliances and household space has become an established trend. The industry has gradually transitioned from single product retailing to the sales of scenario-based solutions. In terms of product experience, home appliance product suites offered a unified design style, enabling product appearances to be more in line with modern aesthetics and texture. In terms of sales and services, compared to purchasing single products from different brands, purchasing product suites from the same brand could save time and hassle in product delivery, installations and after- sales services, which is in line with the trend of efficient and convenient consumption. In the context of continuous pursuit of quality of life, users of home appliances, in addition to functional needs, look for overall integration of home appliances and home environment, which could bring forth the experience of improved home aesthetics and enhanced space utilization. From enterprise’s point of view, product suites could increase the average order value, avoid losing customers, and achieve synergies between strong and weak product categories. Enterprises equipped with product suite competitiveness would have an edge in future competition. However, the development trend of product suites has raised the bar for companies in the industry in terms of cross-category design, planning and scenario development capabilities. It requires companies to conduct resource allocations across different product categories. In terms of channel development trends: (1) Livestreaming e-commerce as part of online channel has developed rapidly. According to the information of AVC, transaction value from livestreaming e-commerce has exceeded RMB1.09 trillion in the first half of 2021. Compared to traditional e-commerce which mainly displays product information through text and images, livestreaming e-commerce is clearly advantageous in terms of interaction and user experience, making it easier to motivate users. At the same time, introduction and product comparisons offered by KOLs can also save users' time in decision making. (2) The continuous increase in user demand for personalization, household customization and improvement in indoor space utilization has driven the development of integrated sales of complementary home appliances and home furnishing via offline channels. In particular, the building material channel is highly suitable for the promotion of the sales of high-end and smart product suites of home appliances in the form of scenario-based solutions. Home appliance enterprises have proactively strengthened sales networks in household building material outlets, so as to attract users at the early stage when they are still designing and planning for home renovation, and maximize average revenue per user through the sales of product suites. 32/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report Export markets: due to recovery of the global market as well as continuous stability of the production and supply capacity of China's home appliance industry chain, China's home appliance exports have continued to grow in 2021.

User demand for home appliances increased accordingly. According to the home appliance import data from local customs, home appliance imports grew 11.9% in 2021. (6) Japan: Affected by the withdrawal of government subsidies, multiple state of emergencies caused by the pandemic, negative economic growth and other factors, the white goods industry experienced sluggish growth: sales volume of the refrigerator industry has dropped for two consecutive years, and sales revenue in 2021 has tumbled 4.3%; for the freezer industry, due to pull-forward demand in 2020, growth in 2021 has lowered to 1.8%. The washing machine industry was benefited from the continuous optimization of product mix, and proportion of front-load and variable-frequency products continued to grow. Although sales volume dropped 3%, sales revenue rose 3% year-on-year. (II) Industry Outlook for 2022 1. The Chinese market: In the medium to long term, with the acceleration of the new urbanization, the steady increase of residents' income, the continued expansion of the middle-income group and the improvement in social welfare in China, the purchasing power and consumption willingness of residents grows stronger. The home appliance market still has great upside potential. Changing user attitudes will drive the continuous upgrade of product mix, bringing growth opportunities to high-end, high-quality home appliances. For products such as small kitchen appliances and range hoods, there are significant gap in the penetration rate between rural and urban areas. Room for growth is huge as driven by improvements in users' quality of life and the expansion of product categories. Looking ahead to 2022, the home appliance industry faces both challenges and opportunities: seeking progress while maintaining stability, strategic initiatives to expand domestic consumption will stimulate further demand, increased uncertainty in commodity prices due to global impact. According to CMM's forecast, the size of China's major home appliance retail market will reach RMB 492.4 billion in 2022, representing an increase of 2.2% year-on-year; the retail size of the kitchen appliance market will grow 6% to RMB 246.4 billion. Product mix enhancement and product iterations triggered by consumption upgrade will continue to bring positive impact. User demand will become more segmented. Sub-categories of home appliances such as products that improve quality-of-life will enter a period of rapid growth. Export markets: From 2020 to 2021, the global home appliance market was affected by the pandemic and the supply chain of overseas markets was impacted. China's home appliance industry has filled the supply gap in the global home appliance market with its efficient supply chain system, home 34/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report appliance exports from China has grown strongly. It is expected that in 2022, the export market will face certain pressure due to factors such as the recovery of supply chains in overseas markets and increase in overseas production capacity. 2. The global market: According to the International Monetary Fund's GDP growth forecast for major economies in 2022, major economies and countries around the world will continue the trend of recovery but at a slower pace. Global growth is expected to be at 4.4%. Meanwhile, international trade barriers, supply chain disruptions and the impact of the pandemic will continue to have profound impacts on the global home appliance industry in 2022. According to GfK's forecast, the size of the global home appliance industry will reach USD 575.2 billion in 2022, with an expected growth of 3%. From the perspective of industry development trends, quality consumption will further drive product upgrades, product innovation and expansion of product intelligence; users will prefer products with higher energy efficiency in the context of climate change and energy shortages; as the impact of the pandemic weakens and vaccination rate further improves, markets in countries that are previously heavily affected by the pandemic will further recover. On the other hand, there are unfavourable market factors at play. The outbreak of war in some region will have impacts on regions and countries as well as posing certain challenges to upstream costs and supply chains of the global home appliance industry. III.

The Company's capability to perform acquisition and integration is reflected in the following: First of all, the Company implements the ‘Rendanheyi ( 一合單人 )’ Model in the acquired companies, which is a value-added sharing mechanism for the whole-process team under a common goal. Such model can motivate the acquired companies and their employees, and enable them to generate more value. Secondly, the Company made use of its global platform to empower the acquired companies in terms of strategic planning, R&D and procurement in order to enhance their competitiveness. Thirdly, the Company's open and inclusive corporate culture can support the acquired companies in establishing a flexible and autonomous management mechanism, which can easily earn recognition from the acquired companies and is conducive to the promotion of integration. (vi) Comprehensive and in-depth global collaborations and empowerment The Company has made full use of its global collaborative platform, as well as its integrated functions of R&D, product development, procurement, supply chain, sales and brand marketing. It was able to share and expand its successful market development experience to various markets around the world. By strengthening the synergies among its global businesses, the Company has created a strong driving force for its future development. Global collaborative R&D: The Company has a global collaborative R&D system and has established global technology R&D mechanisms to share common modules, utilize common technologies, and share patents within the scope of compliance. For example, ① the Company successfully applied the direct-drive motor technology developed by Fisher&Paykel to the Casarte brand of washing machines and achieved satisfactory results. ② integrating global R&D platform resources and leveraging technologies around the globe, such as China's product structures and hydraulic technology, Japan's functional design technology, New Zealand's driver system, and the American control system, we launched the GE brand’s large-volume front-load washers in the U.S. market, which 40/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report has led to increases in both the market share and average price of washing machine products in the U.S. market. Global collaborative product development: The Company has established a global product development mechanism to coordinate global collaborative product development, which can enable regional collaboration and supplementation across product categories. For example, the Company successfully supported GE Appliances to relaunch water heater business: the development teams in North America and China are highly integrated, benchmarking the differences in standards between Haier and products in North America. Haier's R&D advantages were combined with GE Appliance’s quality assurance system to jointly develop the product. The resulting electric water heater product has achieved industry leadership in terms of design, manufacturing and inspection, with annual sales of more than 50,000 units, thus providing solid support for GE brand’s water heaters to successfully enter the North American market. Global collaborative procurement: The Company's global procurement activities are coordinated by its global procurement guidance committee. By leveraging the Company's global procurement operations platform, the Company's operating divisions in different regions can share global procurement resources, thereby achieving economies of scale. Global collaborative supply chain: The Company has a visualizable and digitalized global supply chain management system, which has enabled flexible deployment of global production capacity, and sharing and collaboration in the development of smart manufacturing technologies. Global collaborative marketing and brand promotion: the Company operates a multi-level brand portfolio on a global scale, which can realize global collaborative brand promotion. The Company also promotes and introduces successful marketing strategies among regional markets around the world. For example, the Company successfully replicated its sales and marketing model from third and fourth- tier markets in China, in markets such as India, Pakistan, and Thailand, which have strengthened the Company's brand image and its regional market competitiveness. (vii) Industry-leading R&D and technological capabilities To ensure better living experience for users, the Company has established a global leading R&D system under the premise of developing original technologies, thereby using original technologies to support the overall industry-leading positions of the Company’s high-end brands, scenario brands and ecosystem brands. The State Science and Technology Progress Award: In 2021, Haier Smart Home received another State Science and Technology Progress Award, ranking first in the industry with a total of 16 awards. Leadership in terms of patent quality: As of December 2021, Haier Smart Home has accumulated more than 75,000 patents applications globally, of which invention patents accounted for more than 63%. The number of overseas invention patents exceeded 14,000, making us the Chinese home appliance enterprise with the largest number of overseas patents. The Company also accumulated 10 state patent 41/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report gold awards, ranking first in the domestic market. In the ‘Global Smart Home Invention Patent Ranking’ in 2021, Haier Smart Home once again topped the list, ranking first in the world for six consecutive times. Leadership in terms of international standards: As of December 2021, Haier Smart Home has cumulatively led and participated in formulation of 82 international standards and 602 state industrial standards. It is the only company in the industry to obtain comprehensive coverage in the five major international standard organizations, namely the IEC, ISO, IEEE, OCF and Matter. It is also the only enterprise in the world to serve on the IEC Board and the IEC Market Strategy Board at the same time, which have enabled the Company to stay actively involved in international standardization work and have a voice in the formulation of standards. Leadership in terms of original technologies: In 2021, the Company has innovated a range of solutions that exceeded users' expectations, such as the launch of the Casarte’s ‘simultaneous five-ring fire’ gas stove, which enlarged the pot heating area by 40% through the use of multi-ring uniform combustion system, ingredients in the pot could therefore be more evenly and comprehensively heated. The Company also introduced the Casarte’s Zhongzihemei all-in-one laundry machine that could perform the three functions of washing, fabric-caring and drying in the same machine; through continuous iteration of original technologies, it solved the three major pain points of high-end washing, drying and fabric-caring. We therefore created a new product category in the laundry industry and has continued to increase our market share of high-end washing machines. Leadership in terms of innovative ecosystem: In 2021, with approval of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Haier spearheaded the establishment of the National High-end Intelligent Household Appliances Innovation Centre, which is the only national-level manufacturing innovation centre in the field of home appliances. By centring on the development direction of high-end, smart and scenario-based home appliances, the Centre focuses on breaking through a number of critical common technologies in the technological fields of ontology, intelligence, security and scenario application, so as to enhance the technological innovation level and product competitiveness of China's high-end smart home appliance industry. Our HOPE platform, as Haier's window for external technology collaboration, tracks, analyses and researches technologies closely related to industry development that are 3-5 years ahead of time, and promotes the industrialization of related technologies, continue to build on the core methodologies of user insights, demand analysis, technology analysis and resource assessment, while brings together the supply and demand side of technologies, knowledge and creativity, providing interactive scenarios and tools to facilitate the creation and iterations of innovative products/scenarios. Taking Haier's air conditioner’s ‘variable shunt technology’ as an example, through collaboration with relevant experts, 36 patents have been applied for the technology, including 4 PCT international patents. According to results from a real device test conducted by CHEARI (Beijing) Certification & Testing Co. Ltd., the energy- efficiency of a 1.5 HP Haier variable refrigerant flow air conditioner is 12% higher over a period of one year than that of an air conditioner with the new national standard of first-class energy efficiency with same power level. 42/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (viii) Staying committed to the principle of ‘value of people comes first’ ‘Value of people comes first’ has always been a guiding principle for Haier's development. From the autonomous operation team at the start of the venture to the current ‘Rendanheyi’( 一合單 人 ) model, Haier encourages every employee to maximize their own values while creating values for users. In Haier's ‘Rendanheyi’ ( 一 合單人 ) model, ‘Ren’ refers to creators; ‘Dan’ refers to user value; ‘Heyi’ refers to the integration of values realized by employees and the values created for users. ‘Value of people comes first’ is the highest purpose of the ‘Rendanheyi’( 一合單 人 ) model. Haier Smart Home adheres to the values of recognizing users’ demand as priority and denying our own perceptions , and is committed to the ‘two creative spirits’ of entrepreneurship and innovation. We turned employees into creators, implementers into entrepreneurs, and transformed enterprises into open ecosystem platforms, which have supported the Company to become a global leader of smart home in the Internet of Things era.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON THE COMPANY’S FUTURE DEVELOPMENT )I( Setup and trend of the industry √ Applicable □ Not Applicable For details, please refer to the relevant contents of “II. INTRODUCTION OF THE INDUSTRY WHERE THE COMPANY OPERATES DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD” under “Section III Management Discussion and Analysis” in this report. )II( Development strategy of the Company √ Applicable □ Not Applicable To become a user-centred digital enterprise in the IoT era, and achieve leadership as the world's first IoT-based smart home ecosystem brand. The Company will continue to consolidated its leadership in refrigerators, washing machines and water heaters; enhance the performance of kitchen appliances and air conditioners; accelerate growth in tumble dryers and dishwashers, and capture opportunities of lifestyle appliances and cleaning appliances while developing Three-Winged Bird scenario brand in order to stay ahead in this competitive industry. )III( Business plan √ Applicable □ Not Applicable In 2022, the Company will take the following measures to generate sustainable growth: In the domestic market, the Company will accelerate the transition of ‘high-end brand → scenario brand → ecosystem brand’, and expand Casarte’s market leadership from product to scenario applications while increase user value with initiatives targeting outstanding quality, comprehensive solution, smart scenario, ecosystem platform and lifelong user loyalty.

Risk of decreasing market demand due to slowdown in macroeconomic growth. Sales of white goods as durable consumer appliances are subject to users' income level and their expectations of future income growth which would have a certain impact on their willingness to purchase products. A slowdown in macroeconomic growth causing a decline in users' purchasing power would have a negative impact on industry growth. In addition, a slowdown in real estate market would also have a negative impact on market demand, which would indirectly affect end-user demand for home appliances. 2. Risk of price war caused by intensified industry competitions. The white goods industry is highly competitive with a high degree of product homogeneity, industry concentration has increased in recent years. Increase in inventory in individual sub-sectors due to imbalance between supply and demand may lead to risks such as price war. Furthermore, due to rapid technological advancements, scarce talents in the industry, shortened product life cycles and ease of imitation, it is becoming increasingly difficult to profit. New products, services and technologies are often associated with higher selling prices, and it has become necessary for the Company to invest more in research and development in order to achieve that. The Group will actively invest in research and development to attract users through continuous innovation in products and services, and establish a lasting brand influence. 3. Risk of fluctuations in raw material prices. The Company's products and core components mainly use metal such as steel, aluminum, and copper as raw materials, as well as bulk commodity such as plastics and foam. If the prices of raw materials continue to rise, it will put certain pressure on the Company’s production and operations. In addition, the Company relies on third party suppliers for key raw materials, components and manufacturing equipment, as well as OEM suppliers, and any disruption in supply or significant price increases by these suppliers will have a negative impact on the Company’s businesses. As a leader in the industry, the Company will take measures to reduce the risk of raw material fluctuations on its operations such as by using value adjustment mechanism on volume and price with suppliers and hedging. 4. Operational risk in overseas business. The Company has steadily developed its global business and has established production bases, research and development centers and marketing centers in many parts of the world, with the proportion of overseas revenue increasing year by year. Overseas markets are subject to political and economic situations (events such as military conflicts and wars), legal systems and regulatory regimes of those countries and regions, and significant changes in these factors may pose certain risks to the Company’s local operations in these markets. The Company has taken various measures to mitigate the relevant impact, including active collaborations with suppliers and distributors, improving production efficiency to offset the impact on the Company’s overall cost of sales, potentially 58/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report expanding the Company’s supply resources to other countries, and taking measures to ensure safety of its people and assets. 5. Risk of exchange rate fluctuations. As the Company expands its global footprint, the import and export of the Company’s products involve the uses of foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar, the Euro and the Japanese yen. If the exchange rates of relevant currencies fluctuate, it will have a certain impact on the Company’s financial position and increase its financial costs. In addition, the Company’s consolidated financial statements are denominated in Renminbi, while the financial statements of its subsidiaries are measured and reported in the currency of their primary economic environment in which the entity operates, and are therefore subject to currency exchange risk. In this regard, the Company uses hedging instruments to reduce its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. 6. Risk of policy changes. The home appliance industry is closely related to the consumer goods market and the real estate market. Changes in macroeconomic policies, consumption investment policies, real estate policies and relevant laws and regulations will affect distributors' demand for products, which in turn will affect product sales of the Company. The Company will closely monitor changes in policies, laws and regulations, and anticipate market changes to safeguard the Company’s further development. 7. Risk of uncertainties resulted from COVID-19 outbreak. The COVID-19 outbreak, which gradually spread around the end of 2019, could lead to a further weakening of consumer demand for home appliances, which could in turn affect the Company’s product sales. Firstly, lockdowns, social distancing measures and travel restrictions could reduce user mobility and result in the closure of retail sales network, thereby reducing consumer demand for home appliances. Secondly, the pandemic may also cause disruptions to the operations of distributors, such as logistical disruptions in the delivery of products, resulting in distributors' dissatisfaction with the Company’s services and consequently reduced demand for the Company’s products. The Company will leverage its anti-pandemic experience in the Chinese market and make best use of its global resource synergies to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on its businesses. 8. Credit risk. The Company may not be able to collect all trade receivables from its distributors, or distributors may not be able to settle the Company's trade receivables in a timely manner, in which case the Company's business, financial status and operation performance may be adversely affected. In relation to this risk, the Company will maintain flexibility to offer credit period of 30 to 90 days to certain distributors based on their credit history and their transaction volume. 9. Inventory risk. Since the Company cannot always accurately predict trends and events and maintain appropriate inventory levels, there may be excess inventory as a result, for which the Company may be forced to offer discounts or offer promotions to tackle the slow-moving inventory issue. On the other hand, a shortage of inventory may occur, which may lead to loss of sales opportunities for the Company. However, the Company will manage its inventory and make adjustment according to market situation. It will also regularly assess if impairment of inventory is needed. 59/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report )V(Others □ Applicable √ Not Applicable VII.

OTHER INFORMATION The management of Haier Smart Home Co (hereinafter referred to as the “Management”) is responsible for other information. Other information includes the information covered in the 2021 annual report of Haier Smart Home Co, but does not include the financial statements and our audit reports. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. V. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the requirements as set out in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and for such internal control as necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Management are responsible for assessing the ability of Haier Smart Home Co to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the management either intends to liquidate Haier Smart Home Co or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of Haier Smart Home Co. 169/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report VI. AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following tasks: (I) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsible to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. (II) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. (III) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used by the Management and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management. (IV) Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cause significant doubt on the ability of Haier Smart Home Co to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required by the auditing standards to draw attention in our audit report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or; if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause Haier Smart Home Co to cease to continue as a going concern. (V) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that 170/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report achieves fair presentation. (VI) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Haier Smart Home Co to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit, and remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that are of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and therefore constitute the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our audit report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our audit report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Changes in Consolidation Scope’ and ‘IX. Interest in Other Entities’ of this note. 200/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report IV. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of preparation The financial statements of the Company were prepared on the going concern basis according to the transactions and matters actually occurred, in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Enterprises — Basic Standards published by the Ministry of Finance, specific accounting standards, and guidance on application of accounting standards for enterprises, interpretations to accounting standards for enterprises and other relevant requirements (hereinafter collectively referred to as the ‘Accounting Standards for Enterprises’) which issued subsequently, and in combination with the disclosure provisions of the Rules for the Information Disclosure and Compilation of Companies Publicly Issuing Securities No. 15: General Provisions for Financial Report (Revised in 2014) of CSRC as well as the following significant accounting policies and accounting estimation. The Company has ability to continue its operation for at least 12 months since the end of the reporting period and there are no significant events affecting its ability to continue as a going concern. V. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Specific accounting policies and accounting estimates: √Applicable □Not Applicable According to the characteristics of its production and operation, the Company formulated a series of specific accounting policies and accounting estimates, including the provisions for impairment for accounts receivable (Note V.10); the measurement of inventories (Note V.11); the depreciation and amortization of the investment properties (NoteV.13); the depreciation of fixed assets (Note V.14), the amortization of intangible assets (Note V.18), the criterion for determining of long-term assets impairment (Note V.19); and the date of revenue recognition (Note V.25), etc. 1.

Accounting period The accounting year of the Company is from 1 January each year to 31 December of the same year in solar calendar. 201/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report 3. Operating period √Applicable □Not Applicable The Company takes 12 months as an operating period, which is also the classification basis for the liquidity of its assets and liabilities. 4. Recording currency Renminbi is the recording currency of the Company 5. Accounting methods of business combinations under common control and not under common control √Applicable □Not Applicable A business combination is a transaction or event that brings together two or more separate entities into one reporting entity. Business combinations are classified into business combinations under common control and business combinations not under common control. (1) Business combinations under common control A business combination under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory. For business combination under common control, the party that obtains the control over the other parties on the combination date is the acquirer, and other parties involving in the business combination are the transferors. The combination date is the date on which the acquiring party effectively obtains the control over the party being acquired. In case the consideration for long-term equity investments formed in business combination under common control is paid by ways of cash, transfer of non-cash assets or assumption of debts, the Company will regard the share of carrying amounts of the net assets of the transferor in the ultimate controller’s consolidated financial statements obtained as the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments as at the date of combination. For carrying value of net assets of the transferor is negative as at the date of combination, investment cost of long-term equity investment is calculated as zero. In case the transferor is controlled by the ultimate controller by the business combination under non-common control before combination, the initial investment cost of the long- term equity investment of the acquirer includes relevant goodwill. The Company should adjust the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) in accordance with the differences between initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment and the cash paid, the non-cash assets transferred and the carrying value of liability assumed; in 202/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report case the balance of the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) is insufficient for the elimination, the surplus reserves and undistributed profits shall be used to dilute such expenses in order. In case the consideration for the combination is paid by issuance of equity instruments, the aggregate nominal value of shares issued will be deemed as the share capital. The difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments and aggregate nominal value of shares issued shall be adjusted to capital reserve (capital premium or share premium), in case the capital reserve (capital premium or share premium) is insufficient for the elimination, the surplus reserves and undistributed profits shall be used to dilute such expenses in order. Intermediary fees (such as audit, legal services and valuation consultancy) and other relevant management fees incurred in the business combination by the acquirer are credited in profit or loss in the period when they occurred. Trading expenses in direct relation to the issuance of equity instrument as the consideration for the combination is written down to the capital reserve (share premium), where the capital reserve (share premium) is insufficient, and to surplus reserves and undistributed profits in order. Trading expenses in direct relation to the issuance of debt instrument as the consideration for the combination is included in the initial recognition amount of the debt instrument. For business combination under common control realized through several transactions step by step, in case of a package transaction, all the transactions are accounted as one transaction that has acquired the control; in case of not a package transaction, in the financial statement of parent company the capital reserve (share premium) is adjusted by the difference between the initial investment cost and the sum of the carrying value of the original long-term equity investment and the book value of the new payment consideration for further acquisition of shares with the share of acquirer’s owner’s equity on the date of combination in case calculated on the proportion of shareholding on the date of combination as its initial investment cost; where the capital reserve is insufficient, the retained earnings will be used to offset such expenses. In the consolidated financial statements, the long-term equity investment held by the combining party before the date of acquiring control of the combined parties, and the profit and loss, the other comprehensive income and changes in the other owners’ equity recognized during the period between the later of the date of acquisition and the date when the combining and the combined parties are under the common control of the same party and the date of combination, are written down to the retained earnings or profit or loss at the beginning of the comparative reporting period, respectively. 203/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (2) Business combinations involving entities not under common control A business combination not under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination. For business combination not under common control, the party that obtains the control of the other parties at the combination date is the acquirer; other parties involving in the business combination are the transferors. The combination date is the date on which the acquirer effectively obtains control of the transferors. In business combination involving entities not under common control, the cost of combination shall be the sum of the assets paid, obligations incurred or assumed and the fair value of the equity securities issued by the acquirer for obtaining control of the transferor at the date of acquisition. Intermediary fees (such as audit, legal services and valuation consultancy) and other relevant management fees incurred by the acquirer for the purpose of business combination are credited in profit or loss in the period when they occurred. Transaction fees for the equity instruments or debt instruments issued by the acquirer as combination consideration is included in the initial recognition amount of such equity instruments or debt instruments. Contingent consideration involved shall be recorded as the combination cost based on its fair value on the acquisition date. Should any new or further evidence arise within 12 months after the acquisition date and makes it necessary to adjust the contingent consideration on the acquisition date, the goodwill arising from the business combination shall be amended accordingly. The cost of combination and identifiable net assets obtained by the acquirer in a business combination are measured at fair value on the acquisition date. Where the cost of the combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the transferor’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognized as goodwill; where the cost of combination is lower than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the transferor’s identifiable net assets, the difference is initially recognized in profit or loss for the current year after a review of computation for the identifiable assets, liabilities or fair value of contingent liabilities and combination cost, and where the combination cost is still lower than the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the transferor obtained during the course of combination, then the difference is recorded in the profit and loss. In business combination involving entities not under common control that is realized in phases through multiple exchange transactions, in the Company individual financial statements, the sum of the book value of the equity investment of the transferor held 204/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report before the date of acquisition and the cost of new investment on the date of acquisition are recognized as the initial investment cost of such investment. In the consolidated financial statement, the equity of the transferor held before the date of acquisition is re-measured at the fair value on the date of acquisition, and the difference between the fair value and book value is included in current investment income; where the equity of the transferor held before the date of acquisition involves the other comprehensive income, such equity and relevant other comprehensive income are transferred to current investment income on the date of acquisition, other than the other comprehensive income that cannot be reclassified in the profit or loss. The fair value on the acquisition date of equity interest in the transferor prior to the acquisition date and the fair value of the considerations paid for the acquisition of the new equity on the acquisition date are regarded as the combination costs of the Company, comparing with acquirer’s share of the fair value on the acquisition date of the transferor’s net identifiable assets on the proportion of the shareholding on the acquisition date to confirm the goodwill that required to be recognized on the acquisition date or the amount that shall be included in the profit or loss. 6. Preparation method of consolidated financial statements √Applicable □Not Applicable (1) Scope of consolidated financial statements The Company incorporated all of its subsidiaries (including the separate entities controlled by the Company) into the scope of consolidation financial statements, including the enterprises under the Company’s control, divisible part in the investees and structured entities.

(3) Offset matters in the consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements shall be prepared on the basis of the balance sheets of the Company and subsidiaries, which offset the internal transactions incurred between the Company and subsidiaries and among subsidiaries. The owner’s equity of 205/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report the subsidiaries not attributable to the Company shall be presented as ‘minority equity’ under the owner’s equity item in the consolidated balance sheet. The long-term equity investment of the Company held by the subsidiaries, deemed as treasury stock of the corporate group as well as the reduction of owners’ equity, shall be presented as ‘Less: Treasury stock’ under the owner’s equity item in the consolidated balance sheet. (4) Accounting treatment of subsidiaries acquired from combination For subsidiaries acquired from business combination under common control, the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flow of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the beginning of the period in which the combination took place, as if the combination has taken since the ultimate controller began its control. When preparing the consolidated financial statements, for the subsidiaries acquired from business combination under non-common control, separate financial statement will be adjusted on the basis of their fair values of the identifiable net assets on the date of acquisition. 7. Classification of joint arrangement and accounting methods of joint operations √Applicable □Not Applicable A joint arrangement refers to an arrangement jointly controlled by two or more parties. In accordance with the Company’s rights and obligations under a joint arrangement, the Company classifies joint arrangements into joint operations and joint ventures. Joint operations refer to a joint arrangement in which the Company is a party and is entitled to relevant assets and obligations of this arrangement. The Company recognizes the following items in relation to its interest in a joint operation, and accounts the same in accordance with relevant accounting standards for business enterprises: (1) recognize the assets held solely by the Company, and recognize assets held jointly by the Company in appropriation to the share of the Company;(2) recognize the obligations assumed solely by the Company, and recognize obligations assumed jointly by the Company in appropriation to the share of the Company;(3) recognize revenue from disposal of joint operations in appropriation to the share of the Company; (4) recognize revenue from disposal of joint operations in appropriation to the share of the Company; (5) recognize fees solely occurred by the Company and recognize fees from joint operations in appropriation to the share of the Company. 206/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report When the Company, as a joint venture, invests or sells assets to or purchase assets (the assets do not constitute a business, the same below) from joint operations, the Company shall only recognize the part of profit or lost from this transaction attributable to other parties of joint operations before these assets are sold to a third party. In case of an impairment loss incurred on these assets which meets the requirements as set out in Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 — Asset Impairment, the Company shall full recognize the amount of this loss in relation to its investment in or sale of assets to joint operations or recognize the loss according to the Company’s share of commitment in relation to the its purchase of assets from joint operations. Joint ventures refer to a joint arrangement during which the Company only is entitled to net assets of this arrangement. Investment in joint venture is accounted for using the equity method according to the accounting policies referred to under ‘12 Long-term equity investment’ of Note V. 8. Recognition standard for cash and cash equivalents Cash recognized in the cash flow statements represents the cash on hand and deposits available for payment of the Company at any time. Cash equivalents recognized in the cash flow statements refer to short-term, highly liquid investments held by the Company that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk on change in value. 9. Foreign currency businesses and translation of foreign currency statements √Applicable □Not Applicable (1) Foreign currency transactions If foreign currency transactions occur, they are translated into the amount of functional currency by applying the spot exchange rate at the transaction date. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currencies at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All foreign exchange difference are credited in the profit or loss, except ① those arising from the funds denominated in foreign currency specially borrowed for the establishment of the qualifying assets are treated based on the principal of capitalization of borrowing costs; ② those arising from the other changes in the balance other than amortized cost of available-for-sale monetary items denominated in foreign currency are recognized in the other comprehensive income. 207/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report Non-monetary items in foreign currency measured at historical cost are translated using the spot exchange rate prevailing on the date when transaction occurred and its functional currency shall remain unchanged. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rate at the date the fair value is determined; the exchange differences between the translated and original amounts of functional currencies are recognized in the statement of profit or loss or other comprehensive income as changes in fair value (including changes in exchange rate). (2) Translation of foreign currency financial statements If the functional currencies used as the bookkeeping base currency by the subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates under the control of the Company are different from that of the Company, their financial statements denominated in foreign currencies shall be translated to perform accounting and prepare the consolidated financial statements. The assets and liabilities of the balance sheet are translated using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date; all items except for ‘undistributed profits’ of the owner’s equity are translated at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. The revenue and expenses in the income statement are translated using the approximate rate of the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. Exchange differences on translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies are presented as the ‘other comprehensive income’ in the owner’s equity of the balance sheet. Foreign currency cash flow is translated using the approximate rate of the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. The impact of exchange rate changes on cash amount is reflected separately in the cash flow. When disposing overseas operations, the translation difference related to the overseas operation shall be transferred together or as the percentage of disposing the overseas operation to profit or loss in the current period of disposal. 10. Financial instruments √Applicable □Not Applicable A financial instrument refers to any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. A financial asset or financial liability is recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contract of a financial instrument. (1) Financial assets ① Classification and measurement 208/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report According to the business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets, the Company classifies financial assets into: (1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost; (2) financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; (3) financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss of the current period. Financial assets are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. For financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period, related transaction costs are directly included in profit and loss of the current period; for other types of financial assets, related transaction costs are included in their initial recognized amounts. For the accounts receivable or bills receivable arising from the sale of products or the provision of labor services that do not contain or consider the significant financing components, the Company shall take the consideration amount entitled to be received as the initial recognized amount. a. Debt instrument The debt instruments held by the Company refer to the tools that are in conformity with the definition of financial liability from the perspective of the issuing party, which are measured in the following three ways, respectively: (a) Measured at amortized cost: The Company’s business model for managing such financial assets is: With the aim of obtaining contractual cash flow, the contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets shall be consistent with the basic lending arrangements, that is, the cash flow generated on a specific date is only the payment for the principal and the interest based on the outstanding principal amount. For such financial assets, the Company recognizes the interest income in accordance with the effective interest method. Such financial assets mainly include cash and cash equivalents, bills receivable and accounts receivable, other receivables, creditor’s right investment and long-term receivables. The Company lists the creditor’s rights investments and long-term receivables matured within one year (including one year) from the balance sheet date as non-current assets matured within one year; the creditor’s rights investments matured within one year (including one year) when being obtained are listed as other current assets. (b) Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: The Company’s business mode for managing such financial assets is: With the aim of obtaining contractual cash flow and selling the financial assets, the contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets shall be consistent with the basic lending arrangements. Such financial assets are measured at fair value through other 209/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report comprehensive income, but impairment gains and losses, exchange gains and losses, and interest income calculated by the effective interest method are included in profit and loss of the current period. Such financial assets are listed as other creditor’s rights investments. Other creditor’s rights investments matured within one year (including one year) from the balance sheet date are listed as non-current assets matured within one year; other creditor’s rights investments matured within one year (including one year) when being obtained are listed as other current assets. (c) Measured at fair value through profit or loss of the current period: The Company lists its held debt instruments that are neither measured at amortized cost nor at fair value through other comprehensive income as financial assets held for trading measured at fair value through profit or loss of the current period. At the time of initial recognition, in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatch, the Company designated some financial assets as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss of the current period. Investments that are matured more than one year and are expected to be held for more than one year from the balance sheet date are listed as other non-current financial assets. b. Equity instruments The Company lists equity instrument investments that have no control, joint control and significant influence on itself as financial assets held for trading measured at fair value through profit or loss of the current period; investments that are expected to be held for more than one year from the balance sheet date are listed as other non-current financial assets. In addition, the Company designated some non-trading equity instrument investments as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, which are listed as other equity instrument investments. The relevant dividends and interest income of such financial assets are included in profit and loss of the current period. ② Impairment For financial assets measured at amortized cost and debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets and financial guarantee contracts, the Company recognizes the loss provision based on the expected credit losses. The Company considers reasonable and reliable information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions, and takes the risk of default as a weight, and calculates the probability-weighted amount of the present value of the difference between the 210/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report cash flow receivable and the cash flow expected to be received of the contract to confirm the expected credit losses. On each balance sheet date, the Company measures the expected credit losses of financial instruments in different phases. If the credit risk has not increased significantly since the initial recognition, the financial instruments are in the first phase. The Company measures the loss provision according to the expected credit losses in the next 12 months; if credit risk has increased significantly but credit impairment has not yet occurred since the initial recognition, the financial instruments are in the second phase. The Company measures the loss provision according to the expected credit losses of the instruments during the entire duration; if credit impairment has occurred since the initial recognition, the financial instruments are in the third phase. The Company measures the loss provision according to the expected credit losses of the instruments during the entire duration. For financial instruments with lower credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Company measures the loss provision according to the expected credit losses in the next 12 months, assuming that its credit risk has not increased significantly since the initial recognition. For financial instruments in the first phase and second phase and financial instruments with relatively lower credit risk, the Company calculates interest income based on their book balance before the deduction of provisions and effective interest rate. For financial instruments in the third phase, the Company calculates interest income based on their amortized cost after the impairment provision has been deducted from the book balance and effective interest rate. For bills receivable, accounts receivable and contractual assets, whether there exist significant financing components, the Company measures loss provision based on expected credit loss over the entire duration. The Company classifies accounts receivable into groups on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics, and calculates the expected credit losses on groups, the bases of group determination are as follows: For each group of bills receivable, the Company applies exposure at default and expected credit losses rate over the entire duration to calculate the expected credit losses by taking into account the historical credit losses experience, the existing conditions and forecast of future economic conditions. 211/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report For each group of accounts receivable, the Company makes the comparison of expected credit losses rates of accounts receivable in overdue days and over the entire duration to calculate the expected credit losses by taking into account the historical credit losses experience, the existing conditions and forecast of future economic conditions. For each group of other accounts receivable, the Company applies exposure at default and expected credit losses rate within the next 12 months or over the entire duration to calculate the expected credit losses by taking into account the historical credit losses experience, the existing conditions and forecast of future economic conditions. The Company recognizes the loss impairment provision or reversed in profit or loss of the current period. For held debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Company recognizes loss/gain on impairment in profit or loss of the current period, and adjusts other comprehensive income at the same time. ③ Derecognition A financial asset is derecognized when any of the below criteria is met: a. the contractual rights to receive the cash flow from the financial asset have been transferred; b. the financial asset has been transferred and the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the transferee; c. the financial asset has been transferred and the Company has not retained control of the financial asset, although the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. On de-recognition of other equity instruments investment, the difference between the book balance and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative profit or loss of fair value that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in the retained earnings. On de-recognition of other financial assets, the difference between the book balance and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative profit or loss of fair value that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in the profit and loss of the current period. (2) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period at initial recognition. The financial liabilities of the Company are financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, including bills payable, accounts payable, other payables, borrowings, bonds payable, etc. Such financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently measured using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities with a maturity of less than one 212/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report year (including one year) are listed as current liabilities: those with maturity of more than one year but are mature within one year from the balance sheet date (including one year) are listed as non- current liabilities due within one year; the rest are presented as non-current liabilities. When all or partial current obligations of financial liabilities have been discharged, such financial liabilities or the part with obligations discharged are derecognized by the Company. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability de-recognized and the consideration paid is recognized in the profit and loss of the current period. (3) Determination of fair value of financial instruments The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted price in the active market. The fair value of a financial instrument that is not traded in an active market is determined by using a valuation technique. During the valuation, the Company adopts an applicable valuation technique under current conditions and there are enough available data and other information to support. Those inputs should be consistent with the inputs a market participant would use when pricing the asset or liability, and the Company should maximize the use of relevant observable inputs. When related observable inputs can’t be acquired or are not feasible to be acquired, then use unobservable inputs. (4) Significant accounting estimates and judgment ① Significant accounting estimates and underlying key assumptions Measurement of expected credit loss (“ECL”) The Company measures ECL through default risk exposure and the ECL rate, which is determined based on the default probability rate and default loss rate. In determining the ECL rate, the Company uses data such as internal historic credit loss experience and adjusts the historic data taking into consideration current conditions and prospective information. When considering prospective information, indicators adopted by the Company include the risk of economic downside, expected growth in unemployment rate, and changes in external market conditions, technical conditions and customer conditions. The Company monitors and reviews the assumptions relating to ECL computation on a regular basis. There was no significant change to aforesaid estimation technique and key assumptions during the year. ② Key judgment made in the adoption of accounting policies a. Classification of financial assets The determination of the classification of financial assets involves significant judgment, including analysis of the business model and characteristics of contract cash flow. 213/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report The Company determines the business model for managing financial assets at the level of financial asset groups. Factors considered include the methods by which the performance of financial assets are assessed and reported to key management members, risks affecting the performance of financial assets and how such risks are managed and the method in which related business management personnel are remunerated. In assessing whether the contract cash flow of financial assets is consistent with the basic loan arrangement, the Company exercises the following principal judgments: whether the time distribution or amount of principal during the period could change as a result of early repayment or other reasons; whether interest include only the time value of the currency, cost of credit risk and other basic risk and consideration for profit. For example, whether the early repayment amount reflects only the outstanding principal amount and interests accrued thereon, and reasonable compensation paid for premature termination of contract. b. Judgment of significant increase in credit risk The Company’s principal criteria for the judgment that credit risk has significantly increased is an overdue for more than 30 days, or significant change in one or more of the following indicators: significant change in the business environment in which the debtor operates, its internal and external credit ratings, and its actual or expected operating results, and significant decrease in the value of collaterals or the credit rating of the guarantor, among others. The Company’s principal criteria for the judgment that a credit impairment has occurred is an overdue for more than 90 days (namely, default has occurred), or fulfillment of one or more of the following conditions: the debtor experiences significant financial difficulties, is undergoing other debt restructuring or is likely to go into bankruptcy. 11. Inventory √Applicable □Not Applicable (1) Classification of inventory Inventory refers to finished products and commodities held by the Company in daily activities for sale, products in progress, materials and supplies consumed in the process of production or provision of labour services, including mainly raw materials, turnover materials, materials for commissioned processing work, packaging materials, products in progress, semi-finished products through in-house manufacturing, finished products (products in stock) and project construction, among others. (2) Pricing of dispatch of inventory An inventory item is accounted for using the weighted average method upon dispatch. (3) Impairment provision for inventory 214/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report At the balance sheet date, inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The net realisable value of inventories that can be directly put to sale, including finished products, commodities and materials for sale is determined as the estimated selling price of such inventory less estimated selling expenses and related tax expenses; the net realisable value of or inventories held for production, is determined as the estimated selling price of finished products manufactured less estimated cost incurred upon completion, estimated selling expenses and related tax expenses; the net realisable value of inventory held for the execution of sales contract or labour contract is computed on the basis of the contract price. If the quantity of inventories held by a company is more than the quantity ordered under a sales contract, the net realisable value of the inventories in excess is computed on the basis of the general selling price. Inventory impairment provision is made on the basis of individual inventory items, provided that if certain inventories are related to a series of products manufactured and sold in the same region with identical or similar end uses or purposes and are difficult to measure separately with other items, their cost and net realisable value may be measured on an aggregate basis. Inventories The cost and net realizable value of inventories in large quantity with low unit prices are measured according to inventory types. At the balance sheet date, if the cost of inventory is higher than its net realisable value, impairment provision is made and charged to current profit or loss. If the factor causing the write-down of inventory value has been removed, the amount of write-down should be reversed and transferred out of the previous inventory impairment provision amount. The reversed amount is included in current profit or loss. (4) Inventory system The Company adopts the perpetual inventory system. (5) Amortisation of low-value consumables and packaging materials The Company adopts one-off amortisation of its low-value consumables and packaging materials. 12. Long-term equity investments √Applicable □Not Applicable Long-term equity investments hereunder refer long-term equity investments in which the Company exercises control, joint control or significant influence over the investee. Long-term equity investments in which the Company does not exercises control, joint control or significant influence over the investee are classified as other equity instruments investments. (1)Determination of initial investment cost ① The initial cost of long-term equity investments acquired through business combination involving parties under common control should be recognised as the share of the carrying value of the owner’s equity of the acquired party; the initial cost of long-term equity investments 215/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report acquired through business combination involving parties not under common control should be recognised as the combination costs determined at the date of acquisition; ② For equity investment other than long-term equity investments acquired through business combination, the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments acquired with cash payment is the acquisition price actually paid; the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments acquired with the issuance of equity- based securities is represented by the fair value of equity-based securities; the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments acquired through debt restructuring should be determined in accordance with relevant provisions under “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.12 — Debt Restructuring”; the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment acquired in exchange for non-monetary assets shall be determined in accordance with relevant provisions of the standard. (2) Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss ① Cost method Long-term equity investments in which the investor is able to exercise control over the investee is accounted for using the cost method. Under the cost method, the carrying value of long-term equity investments, other than additional investment or recouped investment, shall remain constant. When profit distribution or cash dividend is declared, the portion of entitlement is recognised as investment income. ② Equity method The equity method is used to account for long-term equity investments in associates and joint ventures. If a part of the equity investment in an associate is held indirectly through risk investment institutions, mutual funds, trust companies or similar principals (including investment-cum-insurance funds), the investor may elect to measure such indirectly held investment at fair value through profit or loss and measure the remaining portions using the equity method, in accordance with relevant provisions of “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.22- Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments”, whether or the aforesaid principals are exercising significant influence over this part of the investment. Under the equity method, the initial investment cost is not adjusted for any excess of the initial investment cost over the share of the net fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets. When the initial investment cost is less than the share of the fair value of the investment’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised in current profit or loss and the cost of long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. Under the equity method, share of net profit or losses and other comprehensive income of the investee are recognised as investment income and other comprehensive income, respectively, and the 216/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report carrying amount of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. Share of profit or cash dividend declared by the investee is charged against the carrying value of the long-term equity investment; changes in owners’ equity of the investee other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution are adjusted against the carrying value of long-term equity investment and included in capital reserve. Share of net profit or loss of the investee is recognised on the basis of the fair value of the identifiable assets of the investee when the investment is acquired and adjusted against the net profit of the investee. If the accounting policy and accounting period of the investee are inconsistent with those of the Company, the financial statements of the investee is adjusted to align with the accounting policy and accounting period of the Company, and investment income and other comprehensive income is recognised accordingly. Net losses of the investee is recognised by deducting the carrying value of the long- term equity investment together with long-term equity that in substance forms part of the net investment in the investee until it reaches zero. Moreover, if the Company has incurred obligations to assume additional losses of the investee, estimated liabilities are recognised according to the obligation expected to be assumed and charged to current investment loss. If the investee records net profit in future periods, the Company shall recognise its share of gains after applying such share of gains to make up for the unrecognised share of loss. (3) Change of accounting method for long-term equity investment ① Change from fair value measurement to the equity method: If an equity investment in the investee not previously affording control, joint control or significant influence and accounted for in accordance with the standard for recognition and measurement of financial instruments becomes capable of affording joint control or significant influence over the investee as a result of increased shareholding following additional investment, the accounting method should be changed to the equity method, and the fair value of the original equity investment determined according to the standard for recognition and measurement of financial instruments plus the fair value of consideration paid for the acquisition of the new investment shall be changed the initial investment cost under the equity method. ② Change from fair value measurement or equity method to cost method: if an equity investment previously held in the investee not previously affording control, joint control or significant influence and accounted for in accordance with the standard for recognition and measurement of financial instruments, or a long- term equity investment previously held in associates or joint ventures becomes capable of affording control over the investee, it is accounted for long-term equity investment formed through business combination. ③ Change from equity method to fair value measurement: if a long-term equity investment previously held in the investee affording joint control or significant influence ceases to afford joint control or 217/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report significant influence as a result of decrease in shareholding percentage following partial disposal, the remaining equity investment is recognised in accordance with the standard for recognition and measurement of financial instruments, and the difference between the fair value at the date of loss of joint control or significant influence and the carrying value is included in current profit or loss. ④ Change from cost method to equity method or fair value measurement: when preparing separate financial statements, if the Company losses control over an investee due to disposal of some equity-based investment and other reasons, the Company accounts for the remaining equity affording joint control or significant influence over an investee as a result of disposal based on the equity method, and the remaining equity will be adjusted as if it is accounted for using the equity method from the date of acquisition; for the remaining equity not affording joint control or significant influence over an investee as a result of disposal, it is accounted for in accordance with relevant requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22— Recognition and measurement of financial assets, and the differences between the fair value and book value on the date when control is lost are included in profit or loss. When preparing consolidated financial statements, it shall be accounted for in accordance with relevant requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.33— Consolidated financial statements. (4) Bases for determining joint control or significant influence over an investee ① Basis for determining joint control over an investee: decisions on activities having a significant impact on the reward of a certain arrangement must be made with unanimous approval of parties sharing the joint control, such as the sale and purchase of commodities or labour services, management of financial assets, asset acquisition and disposal, R&D activities and financing activities. ② Basis for determining significant influence over an investee: holding of capital with more than 20 and up to 50 voting rights is deemed to be having significant influence. Or even though it is less than 20, fulfillment of one of the following conditions is also deemed as having significant influence: 1) Representation at the board or similar authority of the investee; 2) Participation in the decision-making process of the investee; 3) Posting of management personnel at the investee; 4) Dependence of the investee on the investing party’s technology and technical data; 5) Having important transactions with the investee. 218/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (5) Methods for impairment test and impairment provision At the balance sheet date, the Company inspects whether there are indications of possible impairment of a long-term equity investment. If there are indications of impairment, an impairment test should be performed to ascertain its recoverable amount, and an impairment provision equivalent to the margin by which the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value should be made. Once recognised, impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent accounting periods. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of net fair value of the long-term equity investment on disposal and present value of estimated future cash flow. (6) Disposal of long-term equity investments Upon disposal of long-term equity investments, the difference between the carrying value and consideration actually acquired is included in current profit or loss. Upon disposal of long-term equity investment, the portion previously included in other comprehensive income is accounted for according to the relevant percentage on the same basis adopted in the direct disposal of the relevant assets or liabilities by the investee. 13. Investment properties The Company’s investment properties included leased land-use rights and leased buildings. The Company’s investment properties is initially measured at cost and subsequently on a cost basis. Among the Company’s investment properties, leased buildings are subject to depreciation on a straight-line basis in accordance with accounting policies identical with accounting policies for fixed assets. Leased land-use rights and land-use rights held for disposal after appreciation land- use rights in investment properties are amortised using the straight-line method in accordance with accounting policies identical with fixed asset accounting policies for intangible assets. At the balance sheet date, the Company inspects whether there are indications of possible impairment of an investment property. If there are indications of impairment, an impairment test should be performed to ascertain its recoverable amount, and an impairment provision equivalent to the margin by which the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value should be made. Once recognised, impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent accounting periods. 14. Fixed assets (1) Recognition criteria √Applicable □Not Applicable 219/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report Fixed assets refer to tangible assets held for the production of commodities, provision of labour services, lease or operational management with a useful life of more than one accounting year. Fixed assets are recognised if all of the following conditions are met: ① Economic benefits relating to such fixed assets are likely to flow into the enterprise; ② The cost of the fixed assets can be reliably measured. (2) Classification and depreciation of fixed assets The Company’s fixed assets are mainly classified into: buildings, production equipment, transportation equipment and office equipment; depreciation is conducted on a straight-line basis. The useful life and estimated net residual value of fixed assets are determined based on the nature and use of the fixed assets. At the end of the year, the useful life and estimated residual value of and depreciation method for fixed assets are reviewed, and adjustment is made for any difference with the original estimated amount. Other than fully depreciated fixed assets which remain in use, the Company measures depreciation for all fixed assets. Type of fixed assets Useful life Estimated residual Land ownership - - Buildings 8-40 years 0%-5% Machinery equipment 4-20 years 0%-5% Transportation equipment 5-10 years 0%-5% Office equipment and others 3-10 years 0%-5% (3) Methods for impairment test and impairment provision for fixed assets At the balance sheet date, the Company inspects whether there are indications of possible impairment of fixed assets. If there are indications of impairment, an impairment test should be performed to ascertain its recoverable amount, and an impairment provision equivalent to the margin by which the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value should be made. Once recognised, impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent accounting periods. (4) Disposal of fixed assets Fixed assets are derecognised upon disposal, or when no economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. The difference between gains on disposal, transfer, retirement or damage of fixed assets, net of their book value and related taxes, are included in profit and loss. 220/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report 15. Construction in progress √Applicable □Not Applicable (1) Measurement of construction in progress The cost of the Company’s construction in progress is recognised at actual construction expenses, including all necessary construction expenses incurred during the construction, and borrowing costs capitalized before the work reaches the expected conditions for use and other related costs. (2) Criteria for and timing of the transfer of construction in progress to fixed assets The Company’s construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the work is completed and reaches the expected conditions for use. The criteria for judgement of expected conditions for use should meet one of the following: ① The physical construction (including installation) of fixed assets has been completed in full or substantially completed in full; ② Trial production or operation has commenced and the result indicates that the asset can operate normally or can manufacture compliant products in a consistent manner, or the trial operation indicates that it can operate or conduct business normally; ③ The amount of fixed asset expenditure of the construction is minimal or almost certain not be further incurred; ④ Fixed assets acquired have reached design or contractual requirements, or are essentially consistent with design and contractual requirements. (3) Methods for impairment test and impairment provision for construction in progress At the balance sheet date, the Company inspects whether there are indications of possible impairment of construction in progress. If there are indications of impairment, an impairment test should be performed to ascertain its recoverable amount, and an impairment provision equivalent to the margin by which the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value should be made. Once recognised, impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent accounting periods. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of net fair value of the asset less disposal cost and the present value of estimated future cash flow. 221/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report 16. Borrowing costs √Applicable □Not Applicable (1) Principle for recognition of capitalisation of borrowing cost Borrowing costs incurred by the Company that can be directly attributed to the acquisition or production of assets qualified for capitalisation are capitalised and included in relevant asset costs; other borrowing costs are recognised as cost at the amount incurred at the time of incurrence and charged to current profit or loss. Assets qualified for capitalisation refer to fixed assets, investment properties and inventory that require a considerably long period of acquisition or production activities to reach the expected conditions for use or sale. (2) Computation of capitalised amounts Capitalisation period: from the point of time at which the capitalisation of borrowing costs begins to the point of time at which capitalisation ceases. The period of suspension of capitalisation of borrowing costs is not included. Period of suspension of capitalisation: In case of abnormal disruption during the acquisition or production process for a consecutive period of more than 3 months, the capitalisation period for borrowing costs should be suspended. Computation of capitalised amount: ① For specific borrowings, the amount is determined as interest expense incurred for the period in respect of the specific borrowing less interest income received through the deposit of unutilised borrowed funds or investment gains received through provisional investments; ② For general borrowings utilised, the amount is determined as the weighted average amount of the portion of cumulative asset expenses in excess of the asset expense of specific borrowings multiplied by the capitalisation rate for the general borrowings utilised, where the capitalisation rate is the weighted average interest rate of general borrowings; ③ where there is a discount or premium in the borrowings, the amortisation of such discount or premium for each accounting period is determined according to the effective interest rate and the interest amount for each period is adjusted accordingly. 17. Right-of-use assets √Applicable □Not Applicable Right-of-use assets are the rights of the Company as lessee to use leased assets during the lease period. At the inception date of the lease, the Company as lessee should recognise right- of-use assets and lease liabilities in respect of the lease, other than short-term leases and leases of low-value assets 222/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report which are subject to simplified treatment. The inception date of the lease means the date on which the provision of the leased asset by the lessor for use by the lessee is started. The Company’s right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which includes: (1) The amount of lease liability under initial measurement; (2) The lease payment made on or before the inception date of the lease term, less the relevant amount of lease incentive received if such incentive is available; (3) The initial direct cost of the Company as lessee; (4) Estimated cost to be incurred for the demolishing and removal of leased assets, restoration of venues where the leased assets are located or restoration of the leased assets to the conditions agreed under the lease terms. The Company charges depreciation in respect of right-of-use assets in accordance with “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 4 — Fixed Assets”. Where the acquisition of ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease period can be reasonably ascertained by the Company, depreciation is charged over the remaining useful life of the leased assets. If the acquisition of ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease period cannot be reasonably ascertained, depreciation is charged during the lease term or the remaining useful life of the leased assets, whichever is shorter. The Company shall determine whether impairment of right-of-use assets has occurred and account for impairment loss which has been identified in accordance with the provisions of “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 — Asset Impairment”. When the Company remeasures lease liabilities in accordance with the accounting standard, the carrying value of the right-of-use assets is adjusted accordingly. If the carrying value of the right- of-use assets is reduced to zero but the lease liabilities still require further adjustment, the remaining amount is charged to current profit or loss. Where lease modification results in a reduced scope of lease or shortened lease term, the carrying value of the right-of-use assets is reduced accordingly, and the relevant gain or loss resulting from the partial or full termination of the lease is included in current profit or loss. For other lease modifications resulting in the remeasurement of lease liabilities, the carrying value of the right-of-use assets is adjusted accordingly. 223/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report 18. Intangible assets Intangible assets are the identifiable non-monetary assets which have no physical form and are possessed or controlled by the Company. (1) Measurement of intangible assets Intangible assets of the Company are initially recognized at costs. The actual costs of purchased intangible assets include the consideration and relevant expenses actually paid. For intangible assets contributed by investors, relevant actual costs are determined based on the value agreed in the investment contract or agreement. But if the value agreed in the investment contract or agreement is not a fair value, the actual costs should be determined based on the fair value. The cost of a self-developed intangible asset is the total expenditure incurred in bringing the asset to its intended use. Subsequent measurement of intangible assets of the Company: ① Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis; their useful lives and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each year, and adjusted accordingly if there is any variance with the previous estimates; ② Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized and their useful lives are reviewed at the end of each year. If there is an objective evidence that the useful life of an intangible asset is finite, an estimation should be made on the useful life and the intangible asset should be amortized using the straight- line method. (2) Criterion of determining indefinite useful life The useful life of an intangible asset is indefinite if the period in which the asset brings economic benefits for the Company is unforeseeable, or the useful life could not be ascertained. Criterion of determining indefinite useful lives: ① the period is derived from contractual rights or other legal rights and there are no explicit years of use stipulated in the contract or laws and regulations; ② the period in which the intangible assets generate benefits for the Company still could not be estimated after considering the industrial practice or relevant expert opinions. At the end of each year, the useful lives of the intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed. The assessment is primarily reviewed by relevant departments that use the intangible assets, using the down-to-top approach, to determine if there are changes to the determination basis of indefinite useful lives. (3) Methods of test and provision for impairment of intangible assets 224/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report At the balance sheet date, the Company reviews intangible assets to check whether there is any sign of impairment. If yes, the recoverable amount is recognized through an impairment test and provision for impairment is made based on the difference between the carrying value and the recoverable amount. Impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent accounting periods once provision is made for it. The recoverable amount of intangible assets should be based on the higher of the net fair value of the assets less the disposal expense and the present value of estimated future cash flow of the assets. (4) Basis for research and development phases for internal research and development project and basis for capitalization of expenditure incurred in development stage As for an internal research and development project, expenditure incurred in the research stage is recognized in the profit or loss as incurred. Expenses incurred in the development stage are recognized as intangible assets if all of the following conditions are met: ① the technical feasibility of completing the intangible assets so that they will be available for use or for sale; ② the intention to complete the intangible assets for use or for sale; ③ how the intangible assets will generate economic benefits, including there is evidence that the products produced by the intangible assets has a market or the intangible assets themselves have a market; if the intangible assets are for internal use, there is evidence that there exists usage for the intangible assets; ④ the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and gain the ability to use or sell the intangible assets; ⑤ the capability to reliably measure the expenditures attributable to the development stage of the intangible assets. Specific standards for distinguishing research stage and development stage of an internal research and development project: research stage refers to the stage of planned investigation and search for obtaining new technology and knowledge, which features planning and exploration; before commercial production or other uses, the stage of applying the research achievements and other knowledge in a plan or design to produce new or substantially improved materials, equipment and products is regarded as development stage, which features pertinence and is very likely to form results. All the expenditures incurred on research and development which cannot be distinguished between research stage and development stage are recognized in the profit or loss. 19. Impairment of long-term assets √Applicable □Not Applicable 225/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report Long-term equity investment, investment properties measured based on cost model, fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets and other long-term assets are tested for impairment if there is any sign of impairment at the balance sheet date. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of the assets is less than the carrying amount, a provision for impairment will be made based on the difference and will be recorded in impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of the net fair value of the assets less the disposal expense and the present value of estimated future cash flow of the assets. Provision for asset impairment is calculated and recognized on the individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs is determined. An asset group is the smallest asset portfolio that can generate cash inflows independently. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least at the end of each year. In terms of impairment test of the goodwill of the Company, the carrying amount of the goodwill, arising from business combination, shall be allocated to the related asset groups on reasonable basis since the acquisition date, or to the related asset group portfolios if it is difficult to be allocated to the related asset groups. When the carrying amount of the goodwill is allocated to the related asset groups or asset group portfolios, it shall be allocated in the proportion of the fair value of each asset group or asset group portfolio against the total fair value of related asset groups or asset group portfolios. If it is difficult to measure the fair value reliably, it shall be allocated in the proportion of the carrying amount of each asset group or asset group portfolio against the total carrying amount of related asset groups or asset group portfolios. When impairment test is made to the related asset groups or asset group portfolios including goodwill, if there is a sign that the related asset groups or asset group portfolios are prone to impair, the Company shall first conduct impairment test on the asset groups or asset group portfolios excluding goodwill, calculate the recoverable amount and recognize the corresponding impairment loss by comparing with its carrying amount. The Company shall then conduct impairment test on the asset groups or asset group portfolios including goodwill and compare the carrying amount (including the carrying amount of allocated goodwill) of related asset groups or asset group portfolios with the recoverable amount thereof. Impairment loss on goodwill shall be recognized when the recoverable amount of the related asset groups or asset group portfolios is lower than the carrying amount thereof. Once the above impairment loss on assets is recognized, it shall not be reversed in any subsequent accounting period. 20. Long-term prepaid expense √Applicable □Not Applicable 226/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report Long-term prepaid expenses of the Company are expenditures which have incurred but the benefit period of which is more than one year (exclusive). They are amortized by installments over the benefit period based on each item under the expenses. If items under the long-term pre-paid expenses are no longer beneficial to the subsequent accounting periods, the amortized value of such unamortized items is then fully transferred to the profit or loss. 21. Staff’s remuneration Staff’s remunerations are all forms of compensation and other relevant expenditure given by the Company in exchange for services rendered by employees, including short-term remunerations, post- employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term benefits. Short-term remunerations include short-term salaries, bonus, allowance, subsidies, employee welfare, housing provident fund, labor union fee and education fee, medical insurance premiums, work- related injury insurance premiums, maternity insurance premiums, short-term compensated leave, short- term profit-sharing plans, etc. During the accounting period when employees render services, short-term remunerations that actually incurred shall be recognized as liabilities and credited into the current profit or loss or the cost of relevant assets on an accrual basis by the benefit objects. Post-employment benefits mainly include the basic pension insurance, enterprise annuity, etc., In accordance with the risks and obligations undertaken by the Company, the post- employment benefits are classified as defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. Defined contribution plans: the Company shall recognize the sinking funds paid on the balance sheet date to individual entities in exchange for services from employees in the accounting period as liabilities, and shall credit such funds into the profit or loss or the cost of relevant assets in accordance with the benefit objects. Defined benefit plans: the cost for providing benefits is determined using the expected cumulative welfare unit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out by independent actuary at the interim and annual balance sheet date. The costs for staff’s remunerations incurred by the defined benefit plans of the Group are categorized as follows: (1) service cost, including current period service cost, past service cost and settlement profit or loss. Specifically, current period service cost means the increase of the present value of defined benefit obligations resulted from the current period services offered by employees. Past service cost means the increase or decrease of the present value of defined benefit obligations resulted from the revision of the defined benefit plans related to the prior period services offered by employees; (2) interest expenses of defined benefit plans; (3) changes caused by the remeasurement of liabilities for defined benefit plans. Unless other accounting standards require or permit the credit of the costs for employee welfare into the cost of assets, the Company will credit (1) and (2) above into the profit or loss; and recognize (3) above as other comprehensive income and will not transfer it back to the profit or loss in subsequent accounting periods. 227/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report Termination benefits: The indemnity proposal provided by the Company for employees for the purpose of terminating labor relations with employees before expiry of the labor contracts or encouraging employees to accept downsizing voluntarily. When the following conditions are met, the Company will recognize and credit into the profit or loss the accrued liabilities arising from the indemnity as a result of terminating labor relations with the employees: the Company has made a formal plan for termination of labor relations or has made an offer for voluntary redundancy which will be implemented immediately; and the Company could not unilaterally withdraw the plan for termination of labor relations or the redundancy offer. Early retirement plans for employees will be handled in the principle the same as the termination benefits above. The Company will credit the salaries and social insurance premiums to be paid to the early retirees during the period from the date of early retirement to the normal retirement date to the profit or loss when recognition conditions for estimated liabilities are met. 22. Lease liabilities √Applicable □Not Applicable On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company as the lessee shall recognize the right- of-use assets and lease liabilities for the lease. The Company’s lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payment that has not been paid on the commencement date of the lease term. When calculating the present value of the lease payment, the Company adopts interest rate implicit in lease as discount rate; if it is impossible to determine the interest rate implicit in lease, the incremental borrowing rate of the Company (i.e. lessee) shall be adopted as the discount rate. The interest rate implicit in lease refers to the interest rate that makes the sum of the present value of the lessor’s lease receivable amount and the present value of the unguaranteed residual value equal to the sum of the fair value of the leased asset and the initial direct cost of the lessor. The lessee’s incremental borrowing rate refers to the interest rate that the lessee is required to pay for borrowing funds under similar mortgage conditions in a similar economic environment in order to obtain assets close to the value of the right-of-use assets during a similar period. The Company shall calculate the interest expenses of lease liabilities over the lease term at the fixed periodic interest rate, and include it into current profit or loss or assets cost. After the commencement date of the lease term, where the assessment results of the renewal of the option, the termination of the lease option and the purchase option have changed, the Company re- 228/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report determines the lease payment and re-measures the lease liabilities in accordance with the present value of the lease payment after changes and the revised discount rate. After the commencement date of the lease term, in the event that the future lease payment changes due to a change in expected payment under a guaranteed remaining value or changes in an index or rate used in determining the lease payments, the Company shall re-measure lease liabilities based on present value of the lease payment after changes. In such cases, the discount rate adopted by the Company shall remain unchanged; however, if the change in lease payment results from a change in floating interest rates, the Company shall use a revised discount rate. 23. Estimated liability √Applicable □Not Applicable (1) Criterion for determining of estimated liability If an obligation in relation to contingencies such as external guarantees, discounting of commercial acceptance bills, pending litigation or arbitration and product quality assurance is the present obligation of the Company and the performance of such obligation is likely to lead to an outflow of economic interests and its amount can be reliably measured, such obligation shall be recognized as an estimated liability. (2) Measurement of estimated liability The estimated liability shall be initially measured according to the best estimate of the necessary expenses for the performance of the present obligation. If there is a continuous range for the necessary expenses and if all the outcomes within this range are equally likely to occur, the best estimate shall be determined according to the middle estimate within the range.; if there are two or more items involved, the best estimate should be determined according to all possible outcomes and relevant probabilities. At the balance sheet date, the carrying value of estimated liabilities should be reviewed. If there is objective evidence that the carrying value could not reflect in the current best estimate, the carrying value shall be adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. 24. Share-based payments √Applicable □Not Applicable 229/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report For equity-settled share-based payment transaction in return for services from employees, it shall be measured at the fair value of equity instruments granted to the employees at the grant date. For the payment of such fair value that may only be exercised if services are fulfilled during the vesting period or the specified performance condition is achieved, the amount of such fair value shall, based on the best estimate of the number of exercisable equity instruments during the vesting period, be recognized in relevant costs or expenses in straight-line method with the increase in the capital reserve accordingly. The cash-settled share-based payment shall be measured at the fair value of liability assumed by the Company, which is determined based on the shares or other equity instruments. For the cash-settled share-based payment that may be exercised immediately after the grant, the fair value of the liability assumed by the Company shall, on the date of the grant, be recognized in relevant costs or expenses and the liabilities shall be increased accordingly. For cash-settled share-based payment that may be exercised if services are fulfilled during the vesting period or the specified performance condition is achieved, on each balance sheet date within the vesting period, the services acquired in the current period shall, based on the best estimate of exercise, be recognized in relevant costs or expenses at the fair value of the liability assumed by the Company, and the liabilities shall be adjusted correspondingly. At each balanced sheet date and the settlement date prior to the settlement of liabilities, the fair value of the liability is re-measured with its change consolidated in profit/loss. When there is changes to the Company’s share-based payment plans, if the modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, corresponding recognition of service increase in accordance with the increase in the fair value of the equity instruments; if the modification increases the number of equity instruments granted, the increase in fair value of the equity instruments is recognized as a corresponding increase in service achieved. Increase in the fair value of equity instruments refer to the difference between the fair values of the equity instrument on the modified date before or after the modification. If the Company modifies the vesting conditions in such manner conductive to the employees, including the shortening of the vesting period, change or cancellation of the performance conditions (rather than market conditions), the Company shall consider the modified vesting conditions upon the disposal of vesting conditions. If the modification reduces the total fair value of shares paid or the Company uses other methods not conductive to employees to modify the terms and conditions of share- based payment plans, it will continue to be accounted for the services obtained in the accounting treatment, as if the change had not occurred, unless the Company cancelled some or all of the equity instruments granted. During the vesting period, if the Company cancel equity instruments granted which will be treated as accelerating the exercise of rights and any amount to be charged over the remaining vesting period should be recognized immediately in the profit or loss, while at the same time recognize the capital 230/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report reserve. Employees or other parties can choose to meet non-vesting conditions, but for those that are not met in the vesting period, the Company will treat it as cancellation of equity instruments granted. 25. Revenue √Applicable □Not Applicable Revenue is the total inflow of economic benefits formed by the Company and its subsidiaries during day-to-day operations which might lead to increase of shareholders’ equity and be irrelevant to capital invested by shareholders. The Company and its subsidiaries performed performance obligations stated in the contract, i.e., recognized revenue when the client obtains the control right of relevant goods or services. Where the contract includes two or more performance obligations, during the starting date of the contract, the Company and its subsidiaries allocate transaction price to various single performance obligation in accordance with the relevant proportion of separate selling price of goods or services promised by various single performance obligation, and measure revenue in accordance with transaction price allocated to various single performance obligation. Transaction price is the amount of consideration that the Company and its subsidiaries are expected to be entitled to collect due to transfer of goods and services transferred to the client, excluding the amount collected for any third party. The transaction price recognized by the Company and its subsidiaries does not exceed the amount of recognized revenue when relevant uncertainties are eliminated and might not incur material carrying back. The amount that is expected to be returned to the client is taken as liability of returned goods and is not recorded in transaction price. When one of the following conditions is met, the Company and its subsidiaries perform performance obligations during a certain time horizon, otherwise, it belongs to fulfilling performance obligations at a certain time point: ① The client simultaneously obtains and consumes economic benefits as the Company and its subsidiaries perform the contract; ② The client is able to control goods under construction during the process of performance of the Company and its subsidiaries; 231/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report ③ Goods produced by the Company and its subsidiaries during the process of performance have no alternative use, and the Company and its subsidiaries are entitled to collect the amount for the cumulative completed and performed portion to date during the entire contractual period. For the performance obligations performed during a certain time horizon, the Company and its subsidiaries recognize revenue in accordance with the schedule of performance during such time horizon. When the schedule of performance can’t be reasonably recognized, where the costs that have been incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries are estimated to be compensated, revenue shall be recognized in accordance with the amount of costs that has been incurred until the schedule of performance can be reasonably confirmed. For performance obligations performed at a certain time point, the Company and its subsidiaries recognize revenue at the time point when the client obtains the control right of relevant goods or services. When judging whether the client has obtained control right over goods or services, the Company and its subsidiaries will consider the following signs: ① The Company and its subsidiaries enjoy the right of instant collection over such goods and services; ② The Company and its subsidiaries have transferred the material objects of such goods to the client; ③ The Company and its subsidiaries have transferred statutory ownership right of the goods or major risks and rewards of the ownership to the client; ⑤ The client has accepted such goods or service. The right that the Company and its subsidiaries are entitled to collect the consideration for having transferred goods or services to the client (and such right depends on other factors other than time lapse) is presented as contractual asset, and contractual asset is provisioned impairment on the basis of expected credit losses. The right owned by and unconditionally collected from the client by the Company and its subsidiaries (only depend on time lapse) shall be presented as accounts receivable. Obligations that the Company and its subsidiaries have collected or shall collect consideration from the client and shall transfer goods or services to the client are presented as contractual obligations. Specific accounting policies relating to major activities that the Company and its subsidiaries obtain revenue are described as follows: (1) Sale of goods 232/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report Generally, contracts for sale of goods between the Company and its clients only include performance obligation of transferring the whole machine of home appliance. Generally, on the basis of taking into account the following factors comprehensively, the Company recognizes the revenue at the time point of transfer of control right of goods: the right of instant collection for obtaining goods, transfer of major risks and rewards on ownership of goods, transfer of statutory ownership of goods, transfer of assets of material objects of goods, the client’s acceptance of such goods. (2) Construction contract income Construction contract between the Company and the client generally includes performance obligations of construction and installation of commercial air-conditioner and smart home, because the client is able to control goods under construction during the Company’s performance process, the Company takes them as performance obligations performed during a certain time horizon, and recognizes revenue in accordance with the schedule of performance, and it is an exemption when the schedule of performance can’t be reasonably confirmed. The Company confirms the schedule of performance of services provided in accordance with the input method. When the schedule of performance can’t be reasonably confirmed, where the costs that have been incurred by the Company are estimated to be compensated, the revenue will be recognized in accordance with the amount of costs that has been incurred until the schedule of performance can be reasonably confirmed. (3) Warranty obligations According to contractual agreement and regulations of laws, the Company provides quality assurance for goods sold and project constructed. For guarantee-type quality assurance in order to ensure the client that goods sold comply with existing standards, the Company conducts accounting treatment in accordance with estimated liabilities. For service-type quality assurance in order to ensure the client that we also provide a separate service other than that the goods sold comply with existing standards, the Company takes it as a separate performance obligation, and allocates partial transaction price to service- type quality assurance in accordance with the relevant proportion of separate selling price of goods and service-type quality assurance, and recognizes revenue when the client obtains control right over services. When assessing whether quality assurance provides a separate service other than ensuring the client that the goods sold comply with existing standards, the Company shall consider factors such as whether such 233/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report quality assurance is under statutory requirements or industrial practices, the term of quality assurance and the nature of the Company’s commitment to perform the tasks. 26. Government grants √Applicable □Not Applicable (1) Types of government grants Government grants refer to the gratuitous monetary assets or non-monetary assets obtained by the Company from the government, excluding the capital invested by the government as an owner. The government grants are mainly divided into asset-related government grants and revenue-related government grants. (2) Accounting treatment of government grants Asset-related government grants shall be recognized as deferred income in current profit or loss on an even basis over the useful life of relevant assets; government grants measured at nominal amount shall be recognized directly in current profit or loss. Revenue-related government grants shall be treated as follows: ① those used to compensate relevant expenses or losses to be incurred by the enterprise in subsequent periods are recognized as deferred income and recorded in current profit or loss when such expenses are recognized; ② those used to compensate relevant expenses or losses that have been incurred by the enterprise are recorded directly in current profit or loss. (3) Basis for determination of asset-related government grant and revenue-related government grant If the government grant received by the Company is used for purchase, construction or other project that forms a long-term asset, it is recognized as asset-related government grant. If the government grant received by the Company is not asset-related, it is recognized as revenue- related government grant. Government grant received without clear objective shall be classified as asset-related government grant or revenue-related government grant by: 234/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report ① Government grant subject to a certain project shall be separated according to the proportion of expenditure budget and capitalization budget, and the proportion shall be reviewed and modified if necessary on each balance sheet date; ② Government grant shall be categorized as revenue-related if its usage is described in general statement and no specific project is specified in the relevant government document. (4) Amortization method and determination of amortization period of deferred revenue related to government grants Asset-related government grant received by the Company is recognized as deferred revenue and is evenly amortized to the profit or loss in the current period over the estimated useful life of the relevant asset starting from the date when the asset is available for use. (5) Recognition of government grants Government grant measured at the amounts receivable is recognized at the end of the period when there is clear evidence that the relevant conditions set out in the financial subsidy policies and regulations are fulfilled and the receipt of such financial subsidy is assured. Other government grants other than those measured at the account receivable is recognized upon actual receipt of such subsidies. 27. Deferred tax assets/deferred tax liabilities √Applicable □Not Applicable Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities of the Company are recognized: (1) Based on the difference between the carrying amount and the tax base amount of an asset or a liability (items not recognized as assets and liabilities but their tax base is ascertained by the tax laws and regulations, the tax base is the difference), deferred income tax asset or deferred income tax liability is 235/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report calculated using the applicable tax rate prevailing at the expected time of recovering the asset or discharging the liability. (2) Deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that there is enough taxable income for the deduction of the deductible temporary difference. At the balance sheet date, if there is sufficient evidence that there will be enough taxable income in the future for the deduction of the deductible temporary difference, the deferred income tax asset not recognized in previous accounting period is recognized. If there is no sufficient evidence that there will be enough taxable income in the future for the deduction of the deferred income tax asset, the carrying value of the deferred income tax asset is reduced. (3) Deferred income tax liability is recognized for taxable temporary difference arising from investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, unless the Company could control the time of reversal of the temporary differences and the temporary differences would not be probably reversed in the foreseeable future. For deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, deferred income tax asset is recognized if the temporary difference will be very probably reversed in the foreseeable future and it is highly probable that taxable income will be available in the future to deduct the deductible temporary difference. (4) No deferred income tax liability is recognized for a temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. No deferred income tax asset or deferred income tax liability is recognized for the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities due to a transaction other than a business combination, which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income (or deductible loss). At the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that apply to the period when the asset is expected to be recovered or the liability is expected to be settled. 28. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates √Applicable □Not Applicable (1) Asset securitisation The Company has securitised certain receivables to entrust the assets to specific-purpose entities which would issue such securities to investors. As asset service provider, the Company is responsible for 236/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report the provision of maintenance and daily management of the assets, formulation of annual asset disposal plans, formulation and implementation of asset disposal plan, signing of relevant asset disposal agreements and preparation asset service reports on a regular basis. In applying the accounting policy for the securitisation of financial assets, the Company has considered the extent to which the risk and reward of the assets have been transferred to other entities, and the extent to which the Company exercises control over the entity: ① When the Company has transferred substantially all risk and reward relating to the ownership of a financial asset, such financial asset is derecognised; ② When the Company retains substantially all risk and reward relating to the ownership of a financial asset, the Company continues to recognise such financial asset; ③ If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all risk and reward relating to the ownership of a financial asset, the Company considers whether it has control over the financial asset. If the Company does not retain control, the financial asset is derecognised, and the rights and obligations arising from or retained the transfer are recognised as assets and liabilities, respectively. If the Company retains control, the financial asset is recognised according to the extent of continued involvement in the financial assets. (2) Hedge accounting Hedge refers, in respect of the risk exposure arising from the company’s management of specific risks such as foreign exchange risks, interest rate risks, price risks and credit risks, to risk management activity of designating financial instruments as hedging instruments such that the change in the fair value or cash flow of the hedging instruments can be expected to set off the change in the fair value or cash flow of the hedged item. The hedged item refers to an item designated for hedge against the risk of change in fair value or cash flow that can be reliably measured. Hedging instruments are financial instruments designated for hedge, the change in fair value or cash flow of which is expected to set off the change in the fair value or cash flow of the hedged item. 237/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report The Company assesses whether the hedge relationship fulfills the requirement for hedge effectiveness at the inception date of the hedge and continuously in subsequent periods. The effectiveness of hedge refers to the extent to which the change in the fair value or cash flow of the hedging instruments can offset the change in the fair value or cash flow of the hedged item caused by the risk against which the hedge is made. The change in the fair value or cash flow of a hedging instrument in excess or shortfall of the change in the fair value or cash flow of the hedging instruments can offset the change in the fair value or cash flow of the hedged item represents the ineffective portion of the hedge. (3) Significant accounting estimates In the course of applying accounting policies, the Company is required to make judgements, estimations and assumptions on the carrying values of statement items that cannot be accurately measured owing to uncertainties to which operating activities are subject. Such judgements, estimations and assumptions are made based on the past experience of the management and taking into consideration of other relevant factors. Such judgements, estimations and assumptions affect the reported amounts of income, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the balance sheet date. However, the actual outcome resulting from the uncertainty of such estimates could be different from the current estimates of the management, thereby resulting in significant adjustments to the carrying value of the future assets or liabilities affected. The Company regularly reviews such judgements, estimations and assumptions on a going concern basis. If the change in accounting estimates affects only the current period in which the change occurs, the affected amount is recognized for the period in which the change occurs; if both the current period and future periods are affected, the affected amount is recognised for the current period and the future periods. At the balance sheet date, important aspects in which the Company is required to make judgements, estimations and assumptions on the amount of items on the financial statements are as follows: ① Estimated liabilities The Company estimates and makes provision for product warranty and estimated contract loss according to contract terms, existing knowledge and historical experience. When such contingencies have given rise to a present obligation, and the performance of such present obligation is likely to result 238/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report in the outflow of economic benefit from the Company, the Company recognises estimated liabilities for the contingencies based on the best estimates of expenses required for the performance of relevant present obligations. The recognition and measurement of estimated liabilities is dependent to a large extent on management judgement. In the course of judgement, the Company is required to assess factors such as risks, uncertainties and the time value of currency relating to such contingencies. In particular, the Company recognises estimated liabilities in respect of after-sales undertaking to customers for return and replacement, maintenance and installation of goods sold. The recognition of estimated liabilities has taken into account the maintenance experience and data of the Company for recent years, although past experience in maintenance may not reflect maintenance in the future. Any increase or decrease in this provision might affect the profit or loss of future years. ② Provision for ECL The Company measures ECL through default risk exposure and the ECL rate, which is determined based on the default probability rate and default loss rate. In determining the ECL rate, the Company uses data such as internal historic credit loss experience and adjusts the historic data taking into consideration current conditions and prospective information. When considering prospective information, indicators adopted by the Company include the risk of economic downside, expected growth in unemployment rate, and changes in external market conditions, technical conditions and customer conditions. The Company monitors and reviews the assumptions relating to ECL computation on a regular basis. There was no significant change to aforesaid estimation technique and key assumptions during the year. ③ Impairment provisions for inventory The Company makes impairment provisions for inventory of which cost is higher than net realisable value and obsolete and slow-moving inventory based on the lower of cost and net realisable value according to its inventory accounting policy. The impairment of inventory to its net realisable value is based on assessment of the sellability of inventory and its net realisable value. The authentication of inventory impairment requires the management to obtain conclusive evidence and make judgment and estimates taking into consideration factors such as the purpose of inventory and post-balance sheet date events. Any difference between the actual outcome and the previous estimate will affect the carrying 239/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report value of inventory and the charge or reversal of impairment provisions for inventory during the period in which the estimates are modified. ④ Fair value of financial instruments For financial instruments without an active trading market, the Company determines its fair value using valuation techniques. Such valuation techniques include discounted cash flow model analysis and others. During the assessment, the Company is required to make estimates on future cashflow, credit risk, market volatility rate and relevance and select an appropriate discount rate. Such relevant assumptions are subject to uncertainty, and any change will affect the fair value of financial instruments. ⑤ Impairment of other equity instrument investments The Company’s determination of impairment for other equity instrument investments is largely dependent on the management’s judgment and assumptions to determine whether impairment should be recognised. In the course of making judgments and assumptions, the Company is required to assess the extent and duration of the fair value of the investment being lower than cost, as well as the financial conditions and short-term business prospects of the investee, including industry conditions, technological revolution, credit rating, default rate and counterparty risks. ⑥ Impairment provision for long-term assets At the balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there are indications of possible impairment of non-current assets other than financial assets. In addition to the annual impairment test, intangible assets with indefinite useful life are also tested for impairment when there are indications of the same. Impairment tests on non- current assets other than financial assets are conducted when there are indications that its carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment has occurred when the carrying value of an asset or asset group is higher than the recoverable amount (the higher of net fair value less disposal cost and the present value of estimated future cash flow). The net fair value less disposal cost is determined with reference to the agreed selling price of similar assets in a fair transaction or observable market prices less incremental costs attributable directly to the disposal of such asset. In estimating the present value of future cashflow, significant judgement is required to be made in respect of the production volume and selling price of the asset or (asset group), relevant operating cost and 240/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report discount rate for the computation of present value. The Company takes into consideration all available relevant information when making estimates on the recoverable amount, including forecasts on production volume, selling price and relevant operating costs based on reasonable and justifiable assumptions. The Company conducts goodwill impairment tests at least annually. This requires estimates on the present value of future cashflow of asset group or portfolio of asset groups to which goodwill has been allocated. When making estimates on the present value of future cashflow, the Company is required to make estimates on cashflow generated from future asset group or portfolio of asset groups, and at the same time select an appropriate discount rate to determine the present value of future cashflow. ⑦ Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation and amortisation of investment properties, fixed assets and intangible assets is charged on a straight-line basis over their useful life after taking their residual values into account. The Company reviews the useful life on a regular basis to determine the amount of depreciation and amortisation charge to be allocated to each reporting period. The useful life is determined based on past experience relating to similar assets taking into consideration expected technological upgrades. If there are significant changes in previous estimates, the depreciation and amortisation charge for future periods will be adjusted. ⑧ Deferred income tax assets The Company recognises deferred income tax assets in respect of all unutilised tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to offset the loss. This requires the exercise of significant judgement by the Company’s management to estimate the timing and amount of future taxable profit, taking into account its tax planning strategy, to determine the amount of deferred income tax assets to be recognised. ⑨ Income tax In the Company’s usual operating activities, the final tax treatment and computation of certain transactions are subject to uncertainty. Whether certain items can be presented on a pretax basis is subject to approval of the competent taxation authority. If the final confirmed outcome of such taxation matters 241/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report is different from the amount of the initial estimates, such difference will affect the current income tax and deferred income tax for the period of final confirmation. ⑩ Provision for sales rebate The Company and its subsidiaries adopt a sales rebate policy for sales agent customers. Based on relevant provisions of the sales agreements, vetting of specific transactions, market conditions, channel inventory level and past experience with reference to the status of completion of agreed appraisal indicators by sales agent customers, the Company and its subsidiaries makes estimates on and provision for sales rebate on a regular basis. The provision of sales rebate involves judgment and estimation by the management. In the event of any material change in previous estimates, the aforesaid difference will affect the sales rebate for the period for which the estimates are changed. 29.

If the recoverable amount is less than the book value, corresponding difference will be recognized in profit or loss. 275/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report The recoverable amount of the asset group (including goodwill) is calculated with discounted estimated future cash flow method based on a management-approved 5-15 years budget. Future cash flows beyond the budget period are estimated using the estimated perpetual annual growth rate. The perpetual annual growth rate (mainly 2%) adopted by the management is consistent with industry forecast data and does not exceed the long-term average growth rate of each product. The management determines the compound income growth rate (mainly 3%- 15.54%) and the EBITDA profit margin (mainly 3%- 14%) based on historical experience and market development forecasts, and adopts the pre-tax interest rate that can reflect the specific risks of the relevant asset group as the discount rate (mainly 9.42%- 17.85%). The management analyzes the recoverable amount of each asset group based on these assumptions and believes that there is no need to make provision for goodwill. 20.

Risks related to these financial instruments and the risk management policies taken by the Company to mitigate these risks are summarized below. The management of the Company manages and monitors these risk exposures to ensure the above risks are well under control. 1. Credit risk The credit risk of the Company mainly arises from bank deposits, bills receivable, accounts receivable, interest receivable, other receivables and wealth management products. (1) The Company’s bank deposits and wealth management products are mainly deposited in Haier Finance Co., Ltd., state-owned banks and other large and medium-sized listed banks. The interest 355/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report receivables are mainly the accrued interests from fixed deposits which are deposited in the above banks. The Group does not believe there is any significant credit risk due to defaults of its counterparties which would cause any significant loss. (2) Accounts receivable and bills receivable: The Company only trades with approved and reputable third parties. All customers who are traded by credit are subject to credit assessment according to the policies of the Company, and the payment terms shall be determined on a reasonable basis. The Company monitors the balances of accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and purchases credit insurance for receivables of large-amount credit customers in order to ensure the Company is free from material bad debts risks. (3) Other receivables of the Company mainly include export tax refund, borrowings and contingency provision. The Company strengthened its management and continuous monitoring in respect of these receivables and relevant economic business based on historical data, so as to ensure that the Company’s significant risk of bad debts is controllable and will be further reduced. 2. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that an enterprise may encounter deficiency of funds in fulfilling obligations associated with financial liabilities. To control such risk, the Company utilizes various financing methods such as notes settlement and bank loans to strive for a balance between sustainable and flexible financing. It also has obtained bank credit facilities from several commercial banks to satisfy its needs for working capital and capital expenditures. 3. Exchange rate risk The Company’s businesses are based in mainland China, USA, Japan, Southeast Asia, South Asia, central and east Africa, Europe, and Australia, etc. and are settled in RMB, USD, and other currencies. The Company’s overseas assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as well as transactions to be settled in foreign currencies expose the Company to fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company’s finance department is responsible for monitoring the size of transactions in foreign currencies and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies to minimize the risk of exposure to fluctuation in exchange rate; the Company resorts the way of signing forward foreign exchange contracts to avoid the risk of exchange fluctuation. 4. Interest rate risk The Company’s interest rate risk arises primarily from its long- and short- term bank loans and bonds payables which are interest-bearing debts. Financial liabilities with floating interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk, while financial liabilities with fixed interest rates expose the 356/365 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report Company to fair value interest rate risk. The Group determines the relative proportion of fixed-interest rate and floating interest rate contracts in light of the prevailing market conditions. XVII. OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS The Company has no other significant events that need to be disclosed. XVIII. NOTES TO MAIN ITEMS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PARENT COMPANY 1.
