Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 3 Letter to shareholders Haier Smart Home delivered another year of record performance in 2022. Our global sales revenue grew 7.2% to RMB243.514 billion, net profit increased by 12.5% to RMB14.711 billion and recurring net profit rose by 18% to RMB13.963 billion under China GAAP. Our products are gaining grounds in almost all markets around the world. As one of the Fortune 500 companies, Haier Smart Home is committed to meeting the expectations of our stakeholders on ESG practices by lowering carbon emissions through the lifetime of our products, advocating diversity and inclusion, implementing responsible sourcing, creating value in the interest of the society, and promoting sustainable corporate governance. Haier Smart Home continued to be named “Most Admired Company” by Fortune in 2022, and our subsidiary GE Appliances was once again certified as Great Place to Work in the US. In 2022, unprecedented inflationary pressure in the US and looming energy crisis in Europe caused retraction in demand for home appliances; while our supply chain, distribution network, logistic operation and fulfilment system in the Company’s biggest market were disrupted by public health emergency in the fourth quarter. What we have achieved in an extraordinary year like 2022 was truly remarkable, and it could only be made possible with winning spirit, shared goal and decisive actions from the entire organization in fulfilling our commitment to always prioritize consumer experience. In taking on the role of Chairman of Haier Smart Home in June 2022, I have spent a great deal of time with our customers, employees, partners as well as Haier Group, amongst other shareholders. What has been reinforced is our stakeholders’ shared expectation for Haier Smart Home to become a long-standing leader with sustainability that transcends the ups and downs in the economy. This requires Haier Smart Home to continue outperforming the industry in the next three years, in order to attract and retain talents, while creating greater value for shareholders and employees. During this time, we must be more efficient and transparent not only in the way we interact with our users, in the product we make and in the service we provide, but also in the business operations and supply chain system; we ought to become the elephant that can dance by being agile and embrace the latest technological development. In the next three years, Haier Smart Home will strengthen the foundation of our sustainable development. As a responsible corporate citizen of global influence, we remain committed to reducing carbon emissions in product design, manufacturing and recycling; building a sustainable and ethical supply chain; creating a workplace for our people to fulfil their dreams and realize individual value; eliminating bureaucracy and avoiding disorientation in processes. Across the globe, we will enhance our commitment to local communities, and strengthen our ties with the places where we operate. Looking ahead, the abrupt reversal in globalisation and increasing financial volatility remain source of uncertainty during Haier Smart Home’s global brand portfolio building. The way to success lies with placing users experience at the heart of our business while transforming ourselves by accelerating digitalisation and innovation. 4 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Letter to shareholders The pandemic appears to be over, however lingering aftereffects such as lower labour participation rate and supply chain fragmentation will inevitably impact demand in home appliance and HVAC sectors, against this backdrop, quality growth is only made possible in countries with substantial domestic market, manufacturing scales and ample supply of engineering talents; and businesses that can achieve rapid profit growth are those with engaged workforce, production efficiency and consumer goodwill. Capitalising on our advantages in the world’s largest home appliance market, efficient supply chain and engineering expertise in China, Haier Smart Home is in the best position to strengthen our global competitiveness as long as we drive innovation with technology, redefine experience with digitalization and manage the business with start-up sensibility. The Internet of Things (IoT) and advancements in energy efficiency are two driving forces that will transform the industry. Harnessing these technologies is the focus of Haier Smart Home’s future R&D. IoT technology gives home appliance businesses better consumer insights via interactive experience. After the initial configuration, home appliance businesses can accelerate product upgrades and improve algorithm to enhance user recognition based on feedback on product quality, functionality and scenario applications utilising sensors, user behaviour analysis and big data applications. In addition to the breakthrough in consumer robotics and smart lighting we made in 2022, future IoT development will focus on appliances for elderly, cleaning robots and whole house smart management systems. In January 2023, the Company established a rotary compressor joint venture with Shanghai Highly, a leading manufacturer of residential compressors, to facilitate integrated R&D of our home air conditioning products. In addition, we consolidated leadership with air-sourced heat pump & solar water heater solutions designed to provide efficient alternative heating solutions for hotels, campuses and hospitals. Since 2006, we have been developing magnetic centrifugal chiller in Chinese market since 2006. Compared to MRV systems, this technology could increase COP/IPLV by 100% and we have been number one globally in magnetic chillers for four consecutive years. The Company has also developed air levitation centrifugal chiller and integrated energy management solutions, which will become solid foundation facilitating innovations in our global commercial HVAC business. Aspired to be the global leader like refrigerator and washing machine businesses, our home and central air conditioner businesses ought to become the new pillar of future growth, while investments must continue in small appliance and kitchen appliance to grow R&D and supply chain competitiveness. We have established leadership in the more significant markets of China and the US, but our position and profitability demand further progress in other regions. The way forward is through relentless product innovation and brand building, during which process Haier Smart Home must remain committed to designing high quality and creative appliances that deliver user-centric experience. We must stay attuned to local markets and build a solid reputation with reliable and attentive services. This strategy also requires us to allocate our supply chain and distribution resource to cater for the characteristics of each product category, for instance, we do not necessarily have to make all of the small appliances in our own factories and digital applications online could be playing a more important role in marketing our small appliance. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 5 Letter to shareholders The new generation of consumers is demanding personalised and customised scenarios that integrate appliances with home furnishings, thus unlocking significant business opportunities that inspired us to create scenario-based project of Three-Winged Bird, specializing in redefining in-store experience by creating immersive display of smart lighting, smart kitchen, smart air & temperature solution as well as water management, all of which could be mixed & matched to suit personal taste. More importantly, we would like this entire process to be efficient and transparent, and we are committed to being their trustworthy partner in creating the smart home experience right from the beginning. It is rather lamentable that as companies grow bigger, they often lose touch with the latest trends and technological breakthroughs when the organization becomes too entwined with bureaucracy. In order to achieve long-standing prosperity, our next step is to make Haier a place that inspires young generation Z with dreams, to take pride in creating amazing value for our users, instead of burying their passion with frivolous details. Adopting a ‘start-up’ mindset is fundamental to the vitality of our organisation. We have initiated an internal debate trying to encourage practices that lead to operational excellence and eliminate those who don’t. I would like our marketing department to look beyond sales figures, and spend more time with our customers and focus on their future prospects in Haier’s ecosystem. I have tasked our product and scenario designers to better understand what end-users think of our products, and draw inspirations through user engagement. Decisions should be made based on critical consumer insights generated from sharing of market demand in a boundaryless organization. The next three years will see a determined drive to re-engineer the organisation, not only to improve operational efficiency, but to free up financial resources that will fuel investments in talents and technologies for the future. I feel a great sense of responsibility during this turbulent time, a bold transformation is what will position Haier Smart Home better in value creation. Motivated by our winning spirit and guided by our goals, we look forward to embarking upon this exciting journey to a brighter future. Once again, I would like to thank all our shareholders for your trust and support as we embrace a sustainable future together! 6 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section I Definitions I.

IV. ANALYSIS ON CORE COMPETITIVENESS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD. √ Applicable □ Not applicable The Company has established a solid strategic presence and competitive advantage in China and overseas markets. In China’s major home appliance market, the Company has long maintained a leading position across all product categories. According to CMM’s report, the Company has established a continued leading market position in key major home appliance categories in 2022. In overseas markets, the Company has adhered to its high-end brand creation strategy, building capacity to create leading sustainable growth, which has continuously improved its market share. Building on this foundation, the Company will further consolidate its leadership position in the industry by leveraging integrated synergies of its global unified platforms, through efficiency transformation driven by digitalization, and by leveraging its technological strength and innovative capabilities. As cornerstone for sustainable development, our ‘Rendanheyi (人 單 合 一)’ Model also provided management guidance to the Company, and enabled us to replicate successful experiences. It is believed that the following advantages will help the Company to continue to strengthen its leading position: (i) Dominance in China’s high-end market; rapid growth of overseas high-end brands Riding the trend of consumption upgrade in China, the Company has started to develop the high-end brand Casarte in the Chinese market more than 10 years ago. The creation of high-end brands required not only focus, experience and patience, but also continuous innovation of technological standards and differentiated service capabilities to fulfil user demand for high-quality Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 31 Section III Management Discussion and Analysis experiences. The Casarte brand combined the Company’s global technological strengths, product development capabilities and manufacturing craftsmanship, as well as privilege marketing and differentiation services, which has won the trust of users in China’s high-end market. According to data from CMM, the Casarte brand has assumed a definitive leading position in China’s high-end major home appliance market in 2022, ranking first in the retail sales of refrigerator, washing machine and air conditioner categories in the high-end segment. Specifically, in terms of offline retail sales, shares of the Casarte brand of washing machines and refrigerators reached 77.2% and 38.5% respectively in the market with product price above RMB10,000 in China, while its share of air conditioners priced above RMB15,000 in the China’s market reached 30.6%. Our overall average price for Carsate refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines is two to three times the average price of the industry. In the North American market, the Company owns high-end brands such as Monogram, Café, and GE Profile. We enhanced our high-end brand profile through launching leading products including high-end steam ovens, drawer-style microwave ovens and lift-up cooker hoods. Through the creation of luxurious, customizable and smart technology-enabled user experience, our high-end brands Monogram, Café and GE Profile have grown rapidly. (ii) Smart household solutions that continue to expand and upgrade As users continued to demand for higher living quality, coupled with the development of technologies such as Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, the industry has shown a smart and high-end development trend that prioritized product suites, based upon scenarios, and home appliances integrated with home furnishings. With leading user insights, extensive product coverage and technological accumulation from intelligent AI algorithms, home big data and IoT equipment technology, the Company provided scenario solutions on whole-house water usage, air, and smart control for five major spaces at home including the living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and balcony. First of all, the Smart Home Brain created the best intelligent experience for users by upgrading the brain technology system. Through iteration of the whole-house sensing system, we unified data collection from multiple devices and constructed a whole-house sensing service model. At the same time, through software and hardware integration and end-to-end cloud integration, we enabled diversified and multi-modal voice and image interactions which opened up a new form of multi-dimensional connectivity. Secondly, in terms of our capabilities in scenario solutions, Three-Winged Bird continued to build insightful smart scenarios that boosted health, comfort, safety and energy efficiency based on its strategic focus on tailored smart home experience. We addressed user needs on intelligence through the design and implementation of nine thematic scenarios of kitchen, sleep, ambience, low carbon, air, water, cleaning, security, and perception. In addition, Three-Winged Bird’s interior design tool focused on “building a home”, providing users with smart home appliances + smart home solutions. The VR function allowed users to virtually visualise the look, size and style of their smart appliances from different viewing angles. The Three-Winged Bird interior design tool has now facilitated more than 30,000 localised design solutions. 32 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section III Management Discussion and Analysis Finally, Three-Winged Bird’s digital platform is integrated with the Three-Winged Bird APP and the Smart Home APP to offer full life cycle service for users, thereby enhancing the value added to active users and increasing conversion of scenario-based transactions. (iii) Extensive and solid global presence with localized operational capability In addition to success in the Chinese market, the Company also prospered in overseas markets. The Company seeks overseas expansion of its own brands as well as synergies with acquired brands to develop overseas markets. Such business strategy has guided the Company to establish R&D, manufacturing and marketing three-in-one structure across multiple brands, products and regions, as well as the model of self-development, interconnection and synergized operation. The Company’s extensive global presence depends on its localized business teams as well as its flexible and autonomous management mechanisms established in various overseas markets, which have enabled the Company to gain rapid insights and respond swiftly to local user demands. The Company also proactively integrates into local markets and cultures, and has established a corporate image that is recognized by local communities in the overseas regions where the Company operates. In 2022, the Company established 10+N innovative ecosystems, 122 manufacturing centres, and 108 marketing centres around the world, and achieved a coverage of nearly 230,000 point of sales in overseas markets. (iv) A comprehensive portfolio of proprietary brands recognised by users of all tiers Through organic growth and acquisitions, the Company has formed seven brand clusters, including Haier, Casarte, Leader, GE Appliances, Candy, Fisher&Paykel and AQUA. To address the needs of users from different tiers in various markets around the world, the Company has adopted a differentiated multi-brand strategy in different regions that centred around users, so as to achieve an extensive and in-depth user coverage. For example, in the Chinese market: the three brands of Casarte, Haier and Leader achieved the coverage of high-end, mainstream and niche market groups respectively; in the U.S. market, the six major brands such as Monogram, Café, GE Profile, GE, Haier, Hotpoint comprehensively covered all segments of high-end, mid-range and low-end markets, thereby meeting the preferences and needs of different types of users. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 33 Section III Management Discussion and Analysis (v) Cross-border acquisition and synergy realisation capabilities The Company has an excellent track record of acquisition and integration. The Company has acquired Haier Group Corporation’s overseas white goods business, including Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.’s white goods businesses in Japan and Southeast Asia in 2015, the home appliance business of General Electric in the US in 2016, the New Zealand company Fisher&Paykel (which has been entrusted by the Haier Group since 2015) in 2018, and the Italian company Candy in 2019. The Company’s capability to perform acquisition and integration is reflected in the following: First of all, the Company implements the ‘Rendanheyi (人 單 合 一)’ 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, the Company’s R&D team in China joined hands with FPA’s and CANDY’s R&D teams to develop the H20 spray technology, which has been applied to freestanding and built-in dishwashers of Haier, Fisher&Paykel, CANDY and HOOVER, hence strengthening the Company’s overall leadership in product performance. 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 R&D teams in South Asia and China embarked on a 10-month collaboration, breaking away from the traditional product development model by innovating on team organisation, quality control, product testing and cost control leveraging complementary local resources. The HRT-683 refrigerator jointly developed by this collaboration has become a local mainstream high-end product. 34 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section III Management Discussion and Analysis Global collaborative procurement: The Company has established a global procurement guidance committee to coordinate global procurement activities. The committee has built a global digital sourcing platform that brought together partners across industries and regions to develop an autonomous and controlled global supply chain ecosystem. The committee also created a global database of preferred suppliers and materials to achieve cost reduction by aggregating common resources at the Group level. By unifying procurement rules and processes, the Company established a standardised operating system with differentiated procurement strategies to enhance procurement efficiency while lowering risks. We have also developed a Group-level digital procurement platform to enhance shared capabilities through connecting “materials, businesses, people and mechanisms” to the platform, thereby improving the resilience of our global supply chain. Global collaborative supply chain: The Company has built an end-to-end digital management system for the global supply chain that spanned from marketing to suppliers to production and logistics. Using intelligent algorithms, the system enabled real-time flexible deployment of global production capacity, and factories across the globe could share and develop smart manufacturing technologies to boost manufacturing competitiveness. 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. In early 2022, the Company established a science and technology committee to leverage our technological innovation system and strengthen our enterprises’ innovation capabilities, which have facilitated our high-end brands, scenario brands and ecosystem brands to achieve leadership positions. Leadership in terms of original technologies: In 2022, the Company has innovated a range of solutions that exceeded users’ expectations and made technology more integral to everyday life. For example, the seamless built-in refrigerator adopted the innovative bottom heat dissipation technology to realise a zero-gap integration with the cabinet. The use of the dual-axis variable hinges allowed the fridge door to be opened to 113 without hitting surrounding walls. By advancing the foam layer technology, the thickness of the whole fridge was reduced to 600mm which matched the international standard depth of cabinets, hence enabling the refrigerator to be flush with the cabinet.

In Haier’s ‘Rendanheyi’ (人單合一) 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’ (人 單 合 一) model. 36 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section III Management Discussion and Analysis 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 It is the Company’s development strategy to become a user-oriented digital enterprise in the IoT era and achieve leadership as the world’s first IoT-based smart home ecosystem brand. Through product & solution upgrades and scenario innovation of competitive refrigerator, washing machine and water heater businesses, the Company continues to enhance user value and achieve market growth and business expansion. By accelerating end-to-end transformation of the home air conditioner and kitchen appliance businesses, the Company enhance business competitiveness, achieve rapid revenue growth, and improve profitability. The Company will forge new paths for growth by capitalising on the replacement demand for energy-efficient products and focusing on smart buildings. By accelerating growth in new product categories such as tumble dryers and dishwashers, and actively expanding into new business areas such as lifestyle appliances and cleaning appliances, the Company establishes a second growth curve. The Company develops a competitive edge for today’s world by strengthening the Three-Winged Bird scenario brand, enhancing competitiveness in high-end suite products, design & installation & service capabilities in home improvement channels, and store digitalisation. (III) Business plan √ Applicable □ Not applicable In 2023, the Company will press ahead with the three-level brand upgrade strategy of ‘high-end brand → scenario brand → ecosystem brand’, improving operational efficiency through end-to-end digital transformation, and implementing profit-oriented institutional changes to improve operational quality. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 49 Section III Management Discussion and Analysis In the domestic market: ① By focusing on user experience, transforming retail touch points with digital platforms that integrate the five networks of distribution channel, marketing, service, logistics and recycling, the Company will integrate online and offline touch points, digitalise all processes of user engagement, transaction, and delivery, and reach users more precisely. Through reconstructing “objectives, models, mechanisms and organisations”, the Company will build an efficient system to manage resources and improve cost efficiency. ② The Three-Winged Bird scenario brand, backed by its strong footholds of the Smart Home Brain, scenario-based solutions, along with digitalised design tools, store operation and platforms, will create customised design solutions for users while enhancing store efficiency and user value for the business. In the overseas markets: By pursuing high-end transformation, leveraging innovative spirit, and proactively creating opportunities even amid difficult industry conditions, the Company aims to become the number one company in the global market. The Company will ① adhere to high-end brand strategy by launching differentiated new products to meet user needs; ② prioritise localisation and develop regional markets to become self-sustainable; ③ capitalise on industry trends and cultivate room for growth by accelerating innovation of new products such as built-in units and heat pumps; and ④ strengthen global competitiveness through leveraging synergies across global platforms in branding, R&D, procurement, supply chain, and human resources. (IV) Potential risks of the Company √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Risk of decreasing market demand due to macroeconomic slowdown. Sales of white goods as durable consumer appliances are subject to users’ income levels and their expectations of future income growth which will have a certain impact on their willingness to purchase products. A slowdown in macroeconomic growth causing a decline in users’ purchasing power will have a negative impact on industry growth. In addition, a slowdown in real estate market will also have a negative impact on market demand, which will 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 continued to increase in recent years. However, the increase in industry inventory capacity in individual sub-sectors due to the demand-supply imbalance may lead to risks such as price wars. Furthermore, rapid technological advancements, scarce talents in the industry, shortened product life cycles and ease of imitation are making it increasingly difficult to profit. Although new products, services and technologies are often associated with higher selling prices, it has become necessary for the Company to invest more in R&D. The Company will actively invest in R&D to attract more users through continuous innovation in products and services, to build a lasting brand awareness. 50 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section III Management Discussion and Analysis 3. Risk of fluctuations in raw material prices. The Company’s products and core components use metal raw materials such as steel, aluminium, and copper, as well as commodities such as plastics and foam. If the prices of raw materials continue to surge, it will put certain pressure on the Company’s production and operations. In addition, the Company relies on third party manufacturers and 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 business. As a leader in the industry, the Company will take measures including volume & price adjustment mechanism as well as hedging to reduce the risk of raw material fluctuations on its operations. 4. Operational risks in overseas business. The Company has steadily developed its global business and has established production bases, R&D centres, and marketing centres 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 (including events such as military conflicts and wars), legal systems and regulatory regimes of those countries and regions. Significant changes in these factors will pose certain risks to the Company’s local operations in these markets. The Company has taken various measures to mitigate the relevant impacts, including collaborating with suppliers and distributors, improving production efficiency to offset the impact on the overall cost of sales, potentially expanding the Company’s supply resources to other countries, and adopting safety measures to protect 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 exchange of foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar, the Euro, and the Japanese yen. If the exchange rates of the 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 market and the real estate market. Changes in macroeconomic policies, consumption investment policies, real estate policies and relevant laws and regulations will affect product demand from distributors, which in turn will affect product sales of the Company. The Company will closely monitor changes in the relevant policies, laws, and regulations, and make forecasts of market changes, in order to ensure further development of the Company. 7. Credit risk. There is possibility that the Company will be unable to collect all trade receivables from its distributors, or distributors are not able to settle the Company’s trade receivables in a timely manner, in which the Company’s business, financial status, and operation performance may be affected. In relation to this risk, the Company will maintain flexibility by offering credit period of 30 to 90 days to certain distributors based on their credit history and transaction amount. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 51 Section III Management Discussion and Analysis 8. Inventory risk. Excess inventory might occur as the Company cannot always accurately predict trends and events and maintain appropriate inventory levels; thus, the Company may be forced to offer discounts or promotions to manage the slow-moving inventory. On the other hand, a shortage of inventory may lead to loss of sales opportunities for the Company. However, the Company will manage its inventory and adjust according to market situation and will conduct regular impairment assessment of its inventory. 9. Risk of changes in retail channels. The retail channel landscape in China is experiencing a major shift. National retail chains, which previously dominated first- and second-tier markets, are shrinking in size. As these chains accounted for a significant share of mid-range to high-end product sales, their decline will impact high-end sales for a certain period. (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 2022 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 147 Section X Financial Report 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. 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. 148 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report (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 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.

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. For business combination under common control, the transferor’s assets and liabilities obtained by the Company (as the acquirer) in a business combination are accounted for at the carrying amount of the transferor in the ultimate controller’s consolidated financial statements as at the date of combination, except for adjustments due to differences in accounting policies. The difference between the carrying amount of the combination consideration paid by the Company (or the aggregate nominal value of shares issued) and the carrying amount of net assets obtained in a business combination shall be adjusted to capital reserve, in case the capital reserve is insufficient for the elimination, the retained earnings shall be adjusted. 172 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report Intermediary fees (such as audit, legal services and valuation consultancy) and other relevant management fees incurred in the business combination by the Company (as 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. (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 of the Company (as the acquirer) shall be the sum of the assets paid, obligations incurred or assumed and the fair value of the equity securities issued by the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company (as the acquirer) in a business combination involving entities not under common control 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 the Company conducted 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 173 Section X Financial Report 6. Preparation method of consolidated accounting statements √ Applicable □ Not Applicable (1) Scope of consolidated financial statements The Company incorporated all subsidiaries under its control (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. Control refers to the Company having power over the investee and is entitled to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of those return. (2) To unify the accounting policies, balance sheets date and accounting periods of the Company and subsidiaries When preparing consolidated financial statements, adjustments are made if subsidiaries’ accounting policies or accounting periods are different from that of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies and accounting periods. (3) Offset matters in the consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements shall be prepared by the Company on the basis of the financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries and based on other relevant information. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all significant balances, transactions and unrealized profits between the Company and subsidiaries and among subsidiaries are eliminated. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company treats the entire enterprise group as one accounting entity and reflects the overall financial position, operating results and cash flows of the Group in accordance with the requirements for recognition, measurement and presentation of relevant accounting standards for enterprises and consistent accounting policies. The owner’s equity of the subsidiaries not attributable to the Company shall be presented separately as ‘minority equity’ under the owner’s equity item in the consolidated balance sheet. The minority equity attributable to net profit or loss of subsidiaries in the current period shall be presented as ‘minority interest’ under the ‘net profit’ item in the consolidated profit statement. Where the amount of loss of a subsidiary attributable to the minority shareholders exceeds their share of the opening balance of owner’s equity of the subsidiary, the excess shall be allocated against minority equity. 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. 174 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report (4) Accounting treatment of subsidiaries acquired from combination For subsidiaries acquired from business combination under common control of the Company, the opening amount of the consolidated balance sheet is adjusted, as if the business combination has taken place since the ultimate controller began its control. The income, expenses and profits of subsidiaries or business combinations from the beginning of the current period to the end of the reporting period are included in the consolidated profit statement. The cash flows from the beginning of the current period to the end of the reporting period of a subsidiary or business combination are included in the consolidated cash flow statement, and the related items in the comparative statements are adjusted Where control can be exercised over the investee under the same control due to additional investment and other reasons, the Company shall deem the parties participating in the business combination to have made adjustments in their current status when the ultimate controller began its control. Equity investments held by the Company before control of the transferor are recognised for profit or loss, other comprehensive income and other changes in net assets between the later of the date on which the original equity interest is acquired and the date on which the Company and the transferor are under the same control and the date of combination, which are offset against the opening retained earnings or current profit or loss, respectively, in the period of the comparative statements. For subsidiaries acquired from business combination under non-common control, the opening amount of the consolidated balance sheet is not adjusted. The income, expenses and profits of the subsidiary or business from the date of purchase to the end of the reporting period are included in the consolidated profit statement. The cash flows of the subsidiary or business from the date of purchase to the end of the reporting period are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Where control can be exercised over an investee that is not under the same control due to additional investment or other reasons, the Company remeasures the equity interest of the investee held before the purchase date based on the fair value of the equity interest at the purchase date, and the difference between the fair value and its carrying amount is included in the current investment income. Where the equity interest in the transferor held before the purchase date relates to other comprehensive income under the equity method and other changes in owner’s equity other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution, other comprehensive income and other changes in owner’s equity relating thereto are transferred to investment income of the current period as at the purchase date, except for other comprehensive income arising from the remeasurement of net liabilities or changes in net assets of defined benefit plans by the investee. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 175 Section X Financial Report (5) Dispose of equity interests in subsidiaries achieved in stages until losing control General treatment During the Reporting Period, when the Company disposes of a subsidiary or business, the income, expenses and profits of that subsidiary or business from the beginning of the period to the date of disposal are included in the consolidated income statement of the Company; The cash flows from the beginning of the period to the disposal date of the subsidiary or operation are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows of the Company. When control over the investee is lost due to the disposal of part of the equity investment or other reasons, the Company remeasures the remaining equity investment after disposal at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The difference between the sum of the consideration obtained on disposal of the equity interest and the fair value of the remaining equity interest, less the sum of the share of the net assets of the original subsidiary calculated by the Company based on the original shareholding ratio and goodwill calculated on a continuing basis from the date of purchase or consolidation, is included in investment income in the period in which control is lost and goodwill is written off. The Company converts other comprehensive income relating to the equity investment in the original subsidiary, etc to investment income in the current period when control is lost. Disposal of subsidiaries step by step Where the Company disposed of equity investment in a subsidiary step by step through multiple transactions until control is lost, for example, the terms, conditions and economic impact of each transaction that disposes of the equity investment in a subsidiary meet one or more of the following conditions, the Company accounts for multiple transactions as a single transaction: i. The transactions were entered into simultaneously or with mutual influence in mind; ii. The transactions as a whole are capable of achieving a complete commercial outcome; iii. The occurrence of one transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one other transaction; iv. The transaction is uneconomical by itself but economic when considered in conjunction with other transactions. 176 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report Where each transaction that disposes of an equity investment in a subsidiary until control is lost is a blanket transaction, the Company accounts for each transaction as a transaction that disposes of the subsidiary and loses control; However, the Company recognises the difference between each disposal price before the loss of control and the share of net assets of the subsidiary corresponding to the disposal of the investment as other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements and is transferred to profit or loss in the period in which control is lost when control is lost. Where each transaction that disposes of an equity investment in a subsidiary until the loss of control is not a blanket transaction, the relevant policy for partial disposal of an equity investment in a subsidiary without loss of control is accounted for before the loss of control by the Company; When control is lost, accounting is performed in the same manner as would be done for a disposal subsidiary. (6) Purchase of minority interests in subsidiaries The difference between the Company’s costs of newly acquired long-term equity investment resulting from the purchase of minority interests and the share of net assets attributable to the subsidiary calculated on an ongoing basis from the date of purchase (or the date of combination) based on the newly increased shareholding ratio, the equity premium in the capital reserve in the consolidated balance sheet is adjusted, and if the equity premium in the capital reserve is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings is adjusted. (7) Partial disposal of equity investments in subsidiaries without loss of control The Company adjusts the equity premium in the capital reserve in the consolidated balance sheet for the difference between the disposal price obtained from the partial disposal of the long-term equity investment in the subsidiary without loss of control and the share of the net assets of the subsidiary that would continue to be calculated from the purchase date or the combination date corresponding to the disposal of the long-term equity investment, or adjust the retained earnings if the equity premium in the capital reserve is insufficient to offset. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 177 Section X Financial Report 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. (1) Joint operations 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. 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. (2) Joint ventures Joint ventures refer to a joint arrangement during which the Company only is entitled to net assets of this arrangement.

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 exchange rate at the transaction date. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated by the Company 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 of the current period, except 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. Non-monetary items in foreign currency measured at historical cost are translated by the Company 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 foreign currency balance sheet of the Company 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 foreign currency income statement of the Company 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.

The impact of exchange rate changes on cash amount is regarded as a reconciliation item and reflected separately in the cash flow. When disposing overseas operations, the translation difference in the foreign currency financial statements as shown in the owner’s equity of the balance sheet and related to the overseas operation shall be transferred from owner’s equity to profit or loss in the current period of disposal. If part of the overseas operations is disposed of, the translation difference in the foreign currency financial statements of the disposal part shall be calculated based on the proportion of the disposal and transferred 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 and equity instrument is recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contract of a financial instrument. (1) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets On initial recognition of a financial asset, according to the business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets, the Company classifies financial assets into: Financial assets measured at amortized cost; financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; 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, etc, the Company shall take the consideration amount entitled to be received as the initial recognized amount. 180 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report 1) The debt instruments held by the Company: ① Financial assets 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 are subsequently measured at amortised cost. The gains or losses arising from amortisation or impairment are recognised in profit or loss of the current period. Such financial assets of the Company mainly include cash and cash equivalents, bills receivable, 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. ② Financial assets 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 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 of the Company mainly include financing receivables and other creditor’s rights investments. The Company lists other creditor’s rights investments matured within one year (including one year) from the balance sheet date 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. ③ Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss of the current period The Company classifies financial assets other than those above measured at amortized cost and those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss of the current period. In addition, 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. Such financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value and changes in fair value are included in profit or loss of the current period. Such financial assets 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 181 Section X Financial Report 2) Equity instrument investments of the Company: The Company classifies equity instrument investments that have no control, joint control and significant influence on itself as financial assets 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. Such designation cannot be revoked once made. The Company includes the relevant dividends and interest income of such financial assets in profit and loss of the current period, and changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the Company transfers the cumulative gain or loss previously included in other comprehensive income directly to retained earnings and is not included in profit or loss of the current period. (2) Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities On initial recognition, financial instruments or their components issued by the Company are classified into financial liabilities or equity instruments based on the contractual terms of the financial instruments and the economic nature, rather than solely on its legal form, together with the definition of financial liability and equity instruments. The Company classifies financial liabilities as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period and other financial liabilities at initial recognition. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value and any interest expenses related to the financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss of the current period. The financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss of the current period of the Company mainly consist of financial liabilities held for trading. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized costs using effective interest method. Other 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 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. 182 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report (3) Classification and treatment of financial liabilities and equity instruments The Company classifies financial liabilities and equity instruments on the following principles: (1) Where the Company is unable to unconditionally avoid delivering cash or another financial asset to fulfil a contractual obligation, the contractual obligation meets the definition of a financial liability. Although some financial instruments do not explicitly include the terms and conditions imposing the contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset, they may indirectly give rise to the contractual obligation through other terms and conditions. (2) Where a financial instrument shall or may be settled in the Company’s own equity instrument, consideration shall be given to whether the Company’s own equity instrument as used to settle the instrument is a substitute of cash or another financial asset or the residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. In the former case, the instrument shall be the Company’s financial liability; in the latter case, the instrument shall be the equity instrument of the Company. Under certain circumstances whereby a financial instrument contract stipulates that the Company shall or may use its own equity instrument to settle the financial instrument, and the amount of the contractual right or obligation equal to the number of its own equity instruments to be received or delivered multiplied by their fair value at the time of settlement, the contract shall be classified as a financial liability, regardless of whether the amount of the contractual right or obligation is fixed, or fluctuates in full or in partly in response to changes in a variable other than the market price of the Company’s own equity instruments (for example an interest rate, a commodity price or a financial instrument price). When classifying a financial instrument (or a component thereof) in consolidated financial statements, the Company shall consider all terms and conditions agreed between members of the Group and the holders of the financial instrument. If the Group as a whole has an obligation in respect of the instrument to settle it by delivering cash or another financial asset or in such a way that it would be a financial liability, such instrument shall be classified as a financial liability. If the financial instrument or its component is attributable to the financial liability, the relevant interests, dividends, gains or losses, and gains or losses arising from redemption or refinancing, shall be recorded in the profit or loss of the current period. If the financial instrument or its component is attributable to equity instrument, the Company treats it as change in equity when it is issued (including refinanced), repurchased, sold or cancelled. Changes in fair value of equity instrument is not recognized by the Company. Transaction costs related to equity transactions are deducted from equity. The Company recognizes the distribution to holders of the equity instruments as distribution of profits, and dividends paid do not affect total amount of shareholders’ equity. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 183 Section X Financial Report (4) Recognition and measurement on transfer of financial assets A financial asset shall be de-recognized when one of the following conditions is met: ① the contractual right for receiving cash flows from the financial asset is terminated; ②the financial asset is transferred, and the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been substantially transferred to the transferee; and ③ the financial asset is transferred; the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, but ceases the control over the financial asset. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, and the control over the financial asset is not ceased, the financial asset and the related financial liabilities should be recognized based on the degree of continuing involvement. The degree of continuing involvement means the level of risks borne by the Company resulting from the change in value of the financial asset. On de-recognition of other equity instruments investment, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative changes in fair value that had been recognized directly in other comprehensive income is recognized in the retained earnings. On de-recognition of other financial assets, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative changes in fair value that had been recognized directly in other comprehensive income is recognized in current profit or loss. For financial assets that are sold with recourse or endorsement, the Company needs to determine whether the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been substantially transferred. If the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been substantially transferred, the financial asset shall be derecognized. If the risk and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been substantially retained, the financial asset shall not be de-recognized. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Company shall assess whether the control over the financial asset is retained, and the financial assets shall be accounted for according to the above paragraphs. (5) Derecognition of financial liabilities If the current obligation of a financial liability (or part of it) has been discharged, the Company derecognizes the financial liability (or part of the financial liability). The Company (borrower) enters into an agreement with the lender to replace the original financial liability in the form of a new financial liability, and if the new financial liability is substantially different from the original financial liability, the original financial liability is derecognized and the new financial liability is recognized. If the Company makes substantial changes to the contractual terms of the original financial liability (or a part thereof), the original financial liability is derecognized and the new financial liability is recognized in accordance with the revised terms. If the financial liability (or a part thereof) is derecognized, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid (including the transferred non-cash assets or liabilities assumed) is recognized in current profit or loss. 184 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report (6) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities When the Company has the legal right to offset recognized financial assets and financial liabilities, and the legal right can be executed at present, and the Company has a plan to settle the financial assets and financial liabilities at the same time or at net amount, the financial assets and financial liabilities can be presented in the balance sheet at net amount after offsetting. Except for the above circumstances, financial assets and financial liabilities cannot be offset and shall be presented separately in the balance sheet. (7) Determination of fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities Fair value is the amount at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred between willing parties in an orderly transaction on a measurement date. The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted price in the active market. Quoted price in the active market represents quoted price which can be easily obtained periodically from exchange market, brokers, industry associations or pricing services agency, etc., which is the transactions amount in arm’s length transactions. The fair value of a financial instrument that is not traded in an active market is determined by using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques include using prices of recent market transactions between knowledgeable and willing parties, reference to the current fair value of another financial asset that is substantially the same with this instrument, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models, etc. 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. In summary, the Company categorizes inputs for fair value measurement into three levels and uses the inputs by the order of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. (8) Impairment of financial assets 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 cash flow receivable and the cash flow expected to be received of the contract to confirm the expected credit losses. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 185 Section X Financial Report 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. 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. 186 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report 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. 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 The actual cost of inventories upon delivery is calculated using the weighted average method. (3) Impairment provision for inventory 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 the 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 of the Company 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 187 Section X Financial Report (4) Inventory system The Company adopts the perpetual inventory system as its 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. (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 acquired through business combination involving parties not under common control should be recognised as the combination costs determined at the date of acquisition; ② The Company invested in other equity investment other than long-term equity investments acquired through 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 is determined in accordance with relevant provisions under “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.12 — Debt Restructuring”; the initial investment cost 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 Cost method Long-term equity investments in which the Company 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. The Company declared the distribution of profit or cash dividend to the investee and calculated the portion of entitlement, which is recognised as investment income. 188 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report Equity method The equity method is used by the Company to account for long-term equity investments in associates and joint ventures. 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 by the Company as investment income and other comprehensive income, respectively, and the 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 by the Company 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 the Company 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 189 Section X Financial Report 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 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 Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, which relevant activities of such arrangement must be decided by unanimously agreement from parties who share control. If all the parties or a group of parties must act in concert to decide on the relevant activities of certain arrangement, it can be considered that all parties or a group of parties have collective control over the arrangement. When determining if there is any joint control, it should first be determined if the arrangement is controlled collectively by all parties or a combination of parties, and then determined whether decisions about activities related to the arrangement must be made by the unanimous agreement of those parties who have collective control over the arrangement. If there are two or more party groups that can collectively control certain arrangement, it does not constitute joint control. When determining if there is any joint control, the relevant protection rights will not be taken into account. 190 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report Significant influence is the power of the investor to participate in the decision-making of an investee’s financial and operational policies, but neither control nor jointly control the formulation of such policies with other parties. When determining if there is any significant influence on the investee, the influence of the voting shares of the investee held directly or indirectly and the potential voting rights held by the Company and other parties which are exercisable in the current period and converted to the equity of the investee, including the warrants, stock options and convertible bonds that are issued by the investee and can be converted in the current period, shall be taken into account by the Company. When the Company holds directly or indirectly through the subsidiary 20% (inclusive) to 50% of the voting shares of the investee, it is generally considered to have significant influence on the investee, unless there is concrete evidence to prove that it cannot participate in the production and operational decisions of the investee and cannot pose significant influence in this situation. The Company usually determines whether there is significant influence on the investee through the following one or several circumstances: ① Representation at the board or similar authority of the investee. ② Participation in the decision-making process of the investee’s financial and operational policies. ③ Having important transactions with the investee. ④ Posting of management personnel at the investee. ⑤ Providing key technical data to the investee. Having one or several of the above circumstances does not mean that the Company must have significant influence on the investee. The Company needs to comprehensively consider all the facts and circumstances to make an appropriate judgment. (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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 191 Section X Financial Report (6) Disposal of long-term equity investments Upon the Company’s 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 (1) Types and measurement models of investment properties The Company’s investment properties include the following types: leased land-use rights, leased buildings and land-use rights held for transfer upon appreciation. The Company’s investment properties is initially measured at cost and subsequently on a cost basis. (2) Adoption of cost model as accounting policy 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. Where the investment properties are sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the differences from disposal after deducting the carrying amount and related taxes are recognised in profit or loss for the current period by the Company. When the Company has evidence indicating the self-occupied houses and buildings are converted to leasing or leasing out its properties held for sale under operating leases, the carrying amount of such fixed assets, intangible assets or inventories before the conversion are transferred to investment properties. When the Company has evidence indicating the property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation are converted to self-occupation or the property intended for operating lease purpose are open for sale, the carrying amount of such properties before the conversion are transferred to fixed assets, intangible asset or inventories. 192 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report 14. Fixed assets √ Applicable □ Not Applicable (1) Recognition criteria Fixed assets of the Company 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 Company; ② The cost of the fixed assets can be reliably measured. Subsequent expenditure incurred for a fixed asset that meets the recognition criteria shall be included in the cost of the fixed asset, and the carrying amount of the component of the fixed asset that is replaced shall be derecognised. Otherwise, such expenditure shall be recognised in profit or loss for the period in which it is incurred. Fixed assets of the Company are initially measured at cost. The purchase cost of a fixed asset comprises its purchase price, related taxes and any directly attributable expenditure for bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use, such as transportation costs and installation expenses. If the payment for a purchased fixed asset is deferred beyond the normal credit terms, the cost of the fixed asset shall be determined based on the present value of the instalment payments. The difference between the actual payment and the present value of the purchase price is recognised in profit or loss over the credit period, except for such difference that is capitalised according to Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 17 — Borrowing Costs (ASBE No. 17). (2) Depreciation method √ Applicable □ Not Applicable The Company’s fixed assets are mainly classified into: buildings, machinery equipment, transportation equipment and office and other 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 and the land which is separately priced and recorded, the Company measures depreciation for all fixed assets. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 193 Section X Financial Report The type, depreciation method, estimated useful lives, estimated residual values and yearly depreciation of the Company’s fixed assets are as follows: Depreciation Depreciation life Residual Type method (years) ratio Buildings Life average method 8–40 0–5% Machinery equipment Life average method 4–20 0–5% Transportation equipment Life average method 5–10 0–5% Office and other equipment Life average method 3–10 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. 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. 194 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report (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. 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 195 Section X Financial Report (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 recognises right- of-use assets and lease liabilities in respect of the lease, other than short-term leases and leases of low-value assets which are subject to simplified treatment. 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. 196 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report The Company charges depreciation in respect of right-of-use assets using the average service life method. 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. 18. Intangible assets Intangible assets are the identifiable non-monetary assets which have no physical form and are possessed or controlled by the Company, and are recognized when the following conditions are met: ① it is probable that economic benefits attributable to the intangible assets will flow into the Company; ② the costs of the intangible assets can be measured reliably. (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. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination not under common control that are owned by the acquiree but not recognised in its financial statements are recognised as intangible assets at fair value on initial recognition of the acquiree’s assets. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 197 Section X Financial Report Subsequent measurement of intangible assets of the Company: ①Intangible 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; ②Intangible 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 Company reviews the useful lives of the intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. 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 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. 198 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report (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 capitalized only if all of the following conditions are met: ①the technical feasibility of completing the intangible assets so that they will be available for use or for sale; ②the 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: the Company refers to the research stage as 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 Company regards 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 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 199 Section X Financial Report 19. Impairment of long-term assets √ Applicable □ Not Applicable 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 arising from a business combination and an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is tested for impairment at least at each year end, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired. Intangible assets that have not been ready for intended use are tested for impairment each year. When the Company carries out impairment test of the goodwill, 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 by the Company 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 shall be recognized in accordance with the differences when the recoverable amount of the related asset groups or asset group portfolios is lower than the carrying amount thereof. The amount of the impairment loss is first reduced by the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to the asset group or set of asset groups, and then the carrying amount of other assets (other than the goodwill) within the asset group or set of asset groups, pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset. Once the above impairment loss on assets is recognized, it shall not be reversed by the Company in any subsequent accounting period. 200 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report 20. Long-term prepaid expense √ Applicable □ Not Applicable 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 201 Section X Financial 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-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. 202 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report 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 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 203 Section X Financial Report 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 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. 204 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report 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; 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; ④ 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 205 Section X Financial Report Specific accounting policies relating to major activities that the Company and its subsidiaries obtain revenue are described as follows: (1) Sale of goods 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 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. 206 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report 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: ①those 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; ②those 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: 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 207 Section X Financial Report (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 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. 208 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report 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 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 209 Section X Financial 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: 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 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. 210 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report 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. 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 value of inventory and the charge or reversal of impairment provisions for inventory during the period in which the estimates are modified. 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. 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 211 Section X Financial Report 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 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.

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. 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.

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. 212 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd.

If the recoverable amount is less than the book value, corresponding difference will be recognized in profit or loss. 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 2.29%–6.68%) and the EBITDA profit margin (mainly 4.29%–12.43%) 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 10.2%–16.25%). 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd.

The B-S model is subject to six variables: current price of the target share (S), exercise price of the option (K), risk-free rate (r), valid term of the option (t), expected volatility of the share price (σ), and the dividend rate of the target share (i). Parameters selected for the calculation of the value of the option of the Company are as follows: ① share price (S): RMB27.01 per share (closing price on the date of grant on 28 June 2022). ② exercise price (K): RMB23.86 per share. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 313 Section X Financial Report ③ risk-free rate (r): according to the maturity yield rate of the China Government Bonds from Bloomberg’s system, the risk-free rate for one year was 1.997%; 2.358% for two years; 2.452% for three years; 2.561% for four years; and 2.67% for five years, where the risk-free rate for the fourth year was calculated as the arithmetic average of the risk-free rate of the third and fifth year. ④ lifetime of the option (t): 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, respectively (from the date of grant to the deadline of the first exercisable date of each tranche). ⑤ historical volatility rate (σ): 0.3677 (1 year); 0.4016 (2 years); 0.3783 (3 years); 0.3795 (4 years). The interval adopted for the calculation of historical volatility was the continuous closing price of the Company in the preceding four years. At the same time, the historical volatility for the preceding 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years was calculated, respectively, based on the differences in waiting period. ⑥ yield rate (i) 1.7031% based on the yield rate shown in Bloomberg’s system on the valuation date (28 June 2022), dividing the dividend per share by the closing price on the date of grant. According to the calculation under the above pricing model, the theoretical aggregate value of the 104,756,896 share options granted under this incentive plan of the Company amounted to RMB777,000,000. (b) The fair value on the date of grant was arrived at on the basis of the share price of the Company on the date of grant, taking into account the current value of cash dividend. (5) Based on the latest available subsequent information, such as change in number of vesting employee, result condition of the Company and evaluation of personal performance appraisal of incentive targets, the Company makes the best estimation of the number of vesting equity instruments, based on which, the Company includes services received for the current period in relevant costs of expenses in accordance with the fair value of the equity instrument on the date of grant, and accordingly included in the capital reserve. Expense recognized in respect of the share-based payment incentive plan for the period: RMB567,000,000 for the stock ownership plan; RMB315,000,000 for the share options; and RMB47,000,000 for the restricted shares.

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 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. Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 317 Section X Financial Report 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 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. 318 Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 Section X Financial Report XVIII.
