At the beginning of 2022, USI released the report “Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure, TCFD)”, managed and disclosed climate risks and opportunities, and launched a phased strategy to achieve the goal of net zero carbon emissions in 2050. (IV) Possible risks √Applicable □ Not Applicable 1. Macroeconomic fluctuation risk Electronic manufacturing industry is closely related to technological development and consumer demand. The Company has been keeping an eye on market changes, maintaining close interaction with customers to grasp their demand changes, strengthening the collection and analysis of market information to reduce the impact of product demand changes on the Company, participating in product design or product development with leading customers in the industry, so as to realize resource sharing and ensure that R&D technology can meet customer's needs. However, if the global macroeconomic growth declines further, resulting in weak demands for downstream communications, consumer electronics and industrial electronics products, the Company's operating performance may face adverse effects. 2. Industry competition risks EMS industry is a fully competitive industry with numerous global manufacturers, but its overall concentration is on the rise. According to market research and information collected by USI, the revenue of the world’s top 25 EMS manufacturers accounted for more than 80% of the entire market in 2020 and 2021, and the industry kept high level of rivalry and concentration. With an increasing number of industry participants and shortened product life cycle, the Company is faced with intense competition in sub-sectors of the industry. If the Company cannot ensure the leading advantages of technology and products or extend the industrial chain to the design with high added value in time, its market share and profit margin may face the risk of being squeezed. 3. Risk of high customer concentration During the reporting period, the the Company’s revenue from its top five customers accounted for 59.63% of the total revenue, showing high customer concentration. Such customers are internationally-renowned electronic brands, and have established a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with USI to ensure sufficient business order. In spite of this, if the customer demand declines, or the Company fails to timely meet the customer requirements in product R&D and design, product quality control, qualified supplier certification, delivery date, etc., it may cause certain fluctuations in customer orders, thus 39 / 258 2021 Annual Report adversely affecting the Company's business scale and operating performance. Therefore, the Company faces the risk of high customer concentration to a certain extent. 4. Risk of technology R&D and upgrading Communication electronics, consumer electronics, computers and storage products account for more than 80% of its revenue. The 3C products, characterized by rapid technological update, frequent product technology upgrade and gradually shortened product life cycle, is becoming increasingly miniaturized, shorter and thinner. As new technologies and products are constantly emerging in the industry where the Company is operating, the rapid upgrading of technologies and products may impact the Company's products using existing technologies. If the Company fails to reasonably and continuously increase investment in technology R&D, or timely develop new products with higher quality and meeting customer needs, it will be unable to maintain its core competitiveness, which will have a potential adverse impact on its profitability. In recent years, the Company has gradually realized the “global” production and operation layout through M&A or establishing new subsidiaries in different countries and regions around the world. However, there are differences in laws and regulations, accounting and tax systems, business practices, corporate management systems, corporate cultures and other aspects between the operating bases located in various countries or regions and listed company. The Company and merged or newly established companies still need to integrate at least in financial management, customer management, resource management, business development, corporate culture, etc. If the relevant integration plan is not effectively implemented, it may face risks such as unsatisfactory synergy M&A or newly established enterprises, loss of core personnel, and decline in performance. 5. Transnational operation risk To better serve major customers, USI has arranged production, sales and logistics worldwide to quickly respond to the product delivery needs of major customers. As a result, the Company has 27 large-scale production bases (including those under construction) in 10 countries and regions. Overseas companies need to abide by the laws and regulations of their countries and regions when conducting business and setting up institutions abroad, and to a certain extent, they need to rely on overseas raw material suppliers, technical service providers or overseas third-party service institutions to ensure the orderly operation of daily businesses. If the laws, regulations, industrial policies or political and economic environment of the countries and regions where overseas business is located have undergone major changes, or there are unpredictable factors such as international tensions, wars, trade sanctions or other force majeure, it may have potential adverse effects on the normal business operation and sustainable development of overseas companies. In addition, if the countries and regions where the relevant overseas businesses are located have restrictions on foreign exchange control and dividend distribution, overseas companies may have the risk of restrictions on dividend remittance. 6. Emerging risk: Upstream supply chain risk Due to COVID-19 outbreak and the shortage of global chip capacity, since 2020, there has been a continuous shortage of supply in the electronics supply chain, a shortage of chips and key components, and an increase in procurement and international logistics costs. In order to ensure on-time delivery, the Company also needs more materials to establish safety stock. Due to the overstock or understock of certain components, the Company's materials in stock have increased greatly. In response to the existing supply chain risks, the Company needs to have more flexibility in the procurement of key components, material inventory management, production scheduling, etc. It also needs to confirm demand more closely with customers and make dynamic adjustment, and arrange shipments and international transportation reasonably to avoid negative impact on the operation.

Financial Statements and Auditor's Report For the year ended 31 December 2021 Contents Page(s) 12 Auditor's report 115 - 119 Consolidated balance sheet 120 - 121 Balance sheet of the Company 122 - 123 Consolidated income statement 124 Income statement of the Company 125 Consolidated cash flow statement 126 Cash flow statement of the Company 127 Consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity 128 - 129 Statement of changes in shareholders' equity of the Company 130 - 131 Notes to the financial statements 132 - 258 114 / 258 AUDITOR'S REPORT De Shi Bao (Shen) Zi (22) No. P01010 (Page 1 of 5) To the Shareholders of Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. 1. Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated and Company's balance sheets as at 31 December 2021, and the consolidated and Company's income statements, the consolidated and Company's cash flow statements and the consolidated and Company's statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the year then ended, and the notes to the financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. are prepared and present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated and Company's financial position as of 31 December 2021, and the consolidated and the Company's results of operations and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. 2. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with China Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the code of ethics for Chinese Certified Public Accountants, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 3. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We determine the followings are key audit matters in need of communication in our report. 115 / 258 AUDITOR'S REPORT - CONTINUED De Shi Bao (Shen) Zi (22) No. P01010 (Page 2 of 5) 3. Key Audit Matters Cut-off of Revenue Recognition Matter Description As set out in Notes(V)-45 to the financial statements, the Company's revenue in 2021 in the consolidated financial statements is RMB 55,299,654,770.21, which is significant. The Company’s sales mainly include sales of goods, and the revenue is recognized at the time point when the customer obtains the control over the commodity. Under the terms of different sales contracts and trade terms, the time point of the transfer of commodity control is different. As revenue is one of the key performance indicators of the Company, and the control over various transaction models that revenue involves in may be transferred at different time points, there is a risk that revenue is not recognized in the appropriate accounting period. Therefore, we consider whether revenue is recorded in the appropriate accounting period as a key audit matter. Audit Response Our procedures in relation to above key audit matter mainly included: 1. Understand the Company's key internal control related to the cut-off of revenue recognition, evaluate the design and implementation of relevant internal control, and test the effectiveness of its operation; 2. Check the Company's material sales contracts, identify the contract terms and trade terms related to the time point of product control transfer, and evaluate whether the time point of revenue recognition of the Company according to the contract terms meets the provisions of the accounting standards for business enterprises; 3. Select samples for the sales transactions recorded before and after the balance sheet date, and check the accounting records, delivery orders, cargo right transfer documents and other supporting documents related to revenue recognition, so as to evaluate whether the revenue is recorded in the appropriate accounting period. 116 / 258 AUDITOR'S REPORT - CONTINUED De Shi Bao (Shen) Zi (22) No. P01010 (Page 3 of 5) 4. Other Information The management of the Company is responsible for other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report of 2021, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 5. Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and designing, implementing and maintaining internal control that is necessary to enable that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process. 6. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion solely to you. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with China Standards on Auditing 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. 117 / 258 AUDITOR'S REPORT - CONTINUED De Shi Bao (Shen) Zi (22) No. P01010 (Page 4 of 5) 6. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements - continued As part of an audit in accordance with China Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: (1) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. (2) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. (3) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management. (4) Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. (5) Evaluate the overall presentation (including the disclosures), 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. (6) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 118 / 258 AUDITOR'S REPORT - CONTINUED De Shi Bao (Shen) Zi (22) No. P01010 (Page 5 of 5) 6. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements - continued From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (I) BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (环旭电子股份有限公司) ("Company" or "the Company") is a joint-stock limited company changed from Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (环旭电子 (上海)有限公司) (the "Limited Company") on an overall basis. The Limited Company is a foreign-funded enterprise invested and established in Zhangjiang Integrated Circuit Port, Pudong New District, Shanghai on 2 January 2003. On 17 June 2008, the Limited Company was approved to be changed into a foreign-invested joint-stock company and renamed as Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (环旭电子股份有限公司) in accordance with the Official Reply (Shang Zi Pi No. [2008] 654) of the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China. As of 31 December 2021, the registered capital of the Company was RMB 2,209,609,072.00. The Company was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in February 2012 and publicly issued Class A Ordinary shares in RMB in China. The Company is headquartered in Shanghai, the People’s Republic of China, which is mainly engaged in providing design and manufacturing services (DMS) for electronic products, designing, producing and processing new electronic components, high-performance motherboard for computers, wireless network communication components, mobile communication products and modules, spare parts, repairing the above products, selling self-produced products, and providing relevant technical consulting services; wholesale, import and export of electronic products, communication products and related spare parts, and providing relevant supporting services. See Notes (VII), 1 for the business nature of the Company's subsidiaries. The Company's and consolidated financial statements were approved by the board of directors of the Company and authorized for issue on 25 March 2022. The details of scope of the consolidated financial statements for the year are set out in Note (VII) "Interests in Other Entities". The change of the consolidated financial statements mainly lay in more subsidiaries of the Company in the current year, please refer to Note (VI) "Changes in Scope of Consolidation" for more details. (II) BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Basis of preparation The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") have adopted the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises ("ASBE") and relative regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance ("MoF"). In addition, the Group has disclosed relevant financial information in accordance with Information Disclosure and Presentation Rules for Companies Offering Securities to the Public No. 15 - General Provisions on Financial Reporting (Revised in 2014). Going concern The Group assessed its ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from 31 December 2021 and did not notice any events or circumstances that may cast significant doubt upon its ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Basis of accounting and principle of measurement The Group has adopted the accrual basis of accounting. Except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, the Group adopts the historical cost as the principle of measurement in the financial statements. Where assets are impaired, provisions for asset impairment are made in accordance with relevant requirements. 132 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (II) BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued Basis of accounting and principle of measurement – continued Where the historical cost is adopted as the measurement basis, assets are recorded at the amount of cash and cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire them at the time of their acquisition. Liabilities are recorded at the amount of proceeds or assets received or the contractual amounts for assuming the present obligation, or, at the amounts of cash and cash equivalents expected to be paid to settle the liabilities in the normal course of business. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurements date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using valuation technique. Fair value measurement and disclosure in the financial statements are determined according to the above basis. The capacity of market participants to realize the maximum profit of non-financial assets, or the capacity of other participants who acquired non-financial assets to realize the maximum profit will be considered when measuring fair values of such non-financial assets. For a financial asset taking the transaction price as its fair value on initial recognition and using valuation techniques involving unobservable inputs in subsequent measurement of fair value, such valuation technique is corrected in the valuation process, as to ensure that the initial recognition result determined by valuation techniques is equal to the transaction price. Fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than inputs within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES 1. Statement of compliance with the ASBE The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with ASBE, and present truly and completely, the Company's and consolidated financial position as of 31 December 2021, and the Company's and consolidated results of operations, changes in the shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. 2. Accounting period The Group has adopted the calendar year as its accounting year, i.e. from 1 January to 31 December. 3. Operating cycle An operating cycle refers to the period since when an enterprise purchases assets for processing purpose till the realization of those assets in cash or cash equivalents. The Group's operating cycle is less than 12 months, and the Group takes 12 months as the criteria for determining liquidity of assets and liabilities. 133 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 4. Functional currency Renminbi (“RMB”) is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and its domestic subsidiaries operate. Therefore, the Company chooses RMB as its functional currency, while its domestic subsidiaries adopts RMB as their functional currency except those adopt USD as their functional currency as their sales of goods, purchase of raw materials and other expenses are settled in USD and their financing is made in USD. The Company's foreign subsidiary chooses USD, JYP, TWD, PLN, EUR or TND as its functional currency on the basis of the primary economic environment in which it operates. The Group adopts RMB to prepare its financial statements. 5. The accounting treatment of business combinations involving enterprises under common control and business combinations not involving enterprises under common control 5.1 Business combinations not involving enterprises under common control and goodwill A business combination not involving enterprises under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining enterprises are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination. The cost of combination is the aggregate of the fair values, at the acquisition date, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquire. The intermediary expenses incurred by the acquirer in respect of auditing, legal services, valuation and consultancy services, etc. and other associated administrative expenses attributable to the business combination are recognized in profit or loss when they are incurred. The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, acquired by the acquirer in a business combination, that meet the recognition criteria shall be measured at fair value at the acquisition date. When the business combination contract provides that, upon the occurrence of multiple future contingencies, the acquirer shall pay an additional or request for recovery of part of the previously paid consideration for the combination, such contingent consideration as set out in the contract shall be recognized as a liability or asset by the Group as a part of the aggregate consideration transferred in the business combination, and be included in the cost of combination at the fair value at the acquisition date. Within twelve months after the acquisition, if the contingent consideration needs to be adjusted as new or further evidences are obtained in respect of circumstances existed as of the acquisition date, the amount preciously included in the goodwill shall be adjusted. A change in or adjustment to the contingent consideration under other circumstances shall be measured in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 13 – Contingencies. Any change or adjustment is included in profit or loss for the current period]. Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the difference is treated as an asset and recognized as goodwill, which is measured at cost on initial recognition. Where the cost of combination is less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the acquirer firstly reassesses the measurement of the fair values of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and measurement of the cost of combination. If after that reassessment, the cost of combination is still less than the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, the acquirer recognizes the remaining difference immediately in profit or loss for the current period. If either the fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in a combination or the cost of business combination can be determined only provisionally by the end of the period in which the business combination was effected, the acquirer recognizes and measures the combination using those provisional values. Any adjustments to those provisional values within twelve months after the acquisition date are treated as if they had been recognized and measured on the acquisition date. Goodwill arising on a business combination is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, and is presented separately in the consolidated financial statements. 134 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 6. Preparation of consolidated financial statements 6.1 Preparation of consolidated financial statements The scope of consolidation in the consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control. Control is the power over the investee, exposures or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns. If changes of related facts and situations lead to changes of related elements of control, the Group will conduct reassessment. The combination of subsidiaries begins with the Group's control over the subsidiary, and ceases with the Group's losing control of the subsidiary. For a subsidiary disposed by the Group, the operating results and cash flows before the date of disposal (the date when control is lost) are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows, as appropriate. For a subsidiary acquired through a business combination not involving enterprises under common control[or the combined party under combination by merge, the operating results and cash flows from the acquisition date (the date when control is obtained) are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows, as appropriate. No matter when the business combination occurs in the reporting period, subsidiaries acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control are included in the Group's scope of consolidation as if they had been included in the scope of consolidation from the date when they first came under the common control of the ultimate controlling party. Their operating results and cash flows from the beginning of the earliest reporting period or from the date when they first came under the common control of the ultimate controlling party are included in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows, as appropriate. The significant accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by the subsidiaries are determined based on the uniform accounting policies and accounting periods set out by the Company. Influence over the consolidated financial statements arising from significant intra-group transactions are eliminated on consolidation. The portion of subsidiaries' equity that is not attributable to the Company is treated as minority interests and presented as "minority interests" in the consolidated balance sheet within shareholders' equity. The portion of net profits or losses of subsidiaries for the period attributable to minority interests is presented as "Profit or loss attributable to minority interests" in the consolidated income statement below the "net profit" line item. When the amount of loss for the period attributable to the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceeds the minority shareholders' portion of the opening balance of owners' equity of the subsidiary, the excess amount is still allocated against minority interests. Acquisition of minority interests or disposal of interest in a subsidiary that does not result in the loss of control over the subsidiary is accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Company's interests and minority interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. The difference between the amount by which the minority interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is adjusted to capital reserve under owners' equity. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the excess are adjusted against retained profits. 135 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 7. Classification of joint arrangements and accounting treatments of joint operations A joint arrangement is classified into joint operation and joint venture, depending on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement, which is assessed by considering the structure and the legal form of the arrangement, the terms agreed by the parties in the contractual arrangement and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. The Group accounts for investments in joint ventures using equity method. Refer to Note (III) 13.3.2 "Long- term equity investments accounted for using the equity method" for details. 8. Recognition criteria of cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalents are the Group's short-term (generally refers to expiration within three months from the date of purchase), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 9. Translation of transactions and financial statements denominated in foreign currencies 9.1 Transactions denominated in foreign currencies A foreign currency transaction is recorded, on initial recognition, by applying an exchange rate that approximates the actual spot exchange rate on the date of transaction. The exchange rate that approximates the actual spot exchange rate on the date of transaction is calculated and determined according to the middle price of the market exchange rate at the beginning of the month in which the transaction occurs. At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the differences between the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date and those on initial recognition or at the previous balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss for the period, except that (1) exchange differences related to a specific-purpose borrowing denominated in foreign currency that qualify for capitalization are capitalized as part of the cost of the qualifying asset during the capitalization period; (2) exchange differences related to hedging instruments for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risks are accounted for using hedge accounting; (3) exchange differences arising from changes in the carrying amounts (other than the amortized cost) of monetary items at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized as other comprehensive income. When the consolidated financial statements include foreign operation(s), if there is foreign currency monetary item constituting a net investment in a foreign operation, exchange difference arising from changes in exchange rates are recognized as "exchange differences arising on translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies " in other comprehensive income, and in profit and loss for the period upon disposal of the foreign operation. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated to the amounts in functional currency at the spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions and the amounts in functional currency remain unchanged. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are re-translated at the spot exchange rate on the date the fair value is determined. Difference between the re-translated functional currency amount and the original functional currency amount is treated as changes in fair value (including changes of exchange rate) and is recognized in profit and loss or as other comprehensive income. 136 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 9 Translation of transactions and financial statements denominated in foreign currencies – continued 9.2 Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, financial statements of a foreign operation are translated from the foreign currency into RMB using the following method: assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; shareholders' equity items are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such items arose; all items in the income statement as well as items reflecting the distribution of profits are translated at an exchange rates that approximate the actual spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions; The difference between the translated assets and the aggregate of liabilities and shareholders' equity items is recognized as other comprehensive income and included in shareholders' equity. Cash flows arising from a transaction in foreign currency and the cash flows of a foreign subsidiary are translated at an exchange rate which approximates the spot exchange rate on the date of the cash flows. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents is regarded as a reconciling item and presented separately in the cash flow statement as "effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents". The closing balances and the actual amounts of previous year are presented at the translated amounts in the previous year's financial statements. On disposal of the Group's entire interest in a foreign operation, or upon a loss of control over a foreign operation due to disposal of certain equity investments or other reasons, the Group transfers the accumulated exchange differences arising on translation of financial statements of this foreign operation attributable to the owners' equity of the Company and presented under owners' equity, to profit or loss in the period in which the disposal occurs. In case of a disposal of part equity investments or other reason leading to lower interest percentage in foreign operations but does not result in the Group's losing control over a foreign operation, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences arising on translation of financial statements are re-attributed to minority interests and are not recognized in profit and loss. For partial disposals of equity interests in foreign operations which are associates or joint ventures, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences arising on translation of financial statements of foreign operations is reclassified to profit or loss. 10. Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. For financial assets purchased or sold in a regular way, the Group recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a trade date basis, or derecognizes the assets sold on a trade date basis. The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. For financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognized in profit or loss; transaction costs relating to other categories of financial assets and financial liabilities are included in the value initially recognized. For accounts receivable recognized that do not contain a significant financing component or a financing component included in the contracts less than one year which are not considered by the Group, which are within the scope of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.14 - Revenue (hereinafter referred to as "revenue standards"), transaction prices defined in the standards shall be adopted on initial recognition. 137 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 10. Financial instruments - continued The effective interest method is a method that is used in the calculation of the amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and in the allocation of the interest income or interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset or to the amortized cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates future cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial asset or financial liability (for example, prepayment, extension, call option or similar options) but shall not consider the expected credit losses. The amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount of a financial asset or a financial liability initially recognized net of principal repaid, plus or less the cumulative amortized amount arising from amortization of the difference between the amount initially recognized and the amount at the maturity date using the effective interest method, net of cumulative credit loss allowance (only applicable to financial assets). 10.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group's financial assets of various categories are subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss. If contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, and the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, such asset is classified into financial assets measured at amortized cost, which include cash and bank balances, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, non-current assets due within one year and long-term receivables and etc. Financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") when (1) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling; and (2) the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Such financial assets due over one year since acquisition are presented as other debt investments. Other debt investments due within one year (inclusive) since the balance sheet date are presented as non-current assets due within one year. Accounts receivable and notes receivable at FVTOCI since acquisition are presented as factoring with receivables, other items due within one year (inclusive) are presented as other current assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate non-trading equity instruments, other than contingent consideration recognized through business combination not involving enterprises under common control, as financial assets at FVTOCI on an individual basis. Such financial assets at FVTOCI are presented as other equity instrument. A financial asset is classified as held-for-trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied: 22. It has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and there is objective evidence that the Group has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or It is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract or designated and effective as a hedging instrument. 138 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 10. Financial instruments - continued 10.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets - continued Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") include those classified as financial assets at FVTPL and those designated as financial assets at FVTPL. Any financial assets that does not qualify for amortized cost measurement or measurement at FVTOCI or designated at FVTOCI are classified into financial assets at FVTPL. Upon initial recognition, in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatch and qualified hybrid financial instrument combines financial asset with embedded derivatives, the Group will irrevocably designated it as financial liabilities at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL assets other than derivative financial assets are presented as "held-for-trading financial assets". Such financial assets at FVTPL which may fall due more than one year (or without fixed term) since the balance sheet date and will be held more than one year are presented as other non-current financial assets. 10.1.1 Financial assets measured at amortized cost The financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gain or loss arising from impairment or derecognition is recognized in profit or loss. The Group recognizes interest income from financial assets classified as financial assets at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Group calculates and recognizes interest income through account balance of financial assets multiplying effective interest, except for the following circumstances: For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group calculates and recognizes its interest income based on amortized cost of the financial asset and the effective interest through credit adjustment since initial recognition. 23. For purchased or originated financial assets without credit impairment incurred while with credit impairment incurred in subsequent periods, the Group calculates and recognizes its interest income based on amortized cost of the financial asset and the effective interest in subsequent periods. If the credit risk of the financial asset is reduced during subsequent periods and credit impairment does not exist, and the improvement can be related to an event occurring after application of aforesaid provisions, the Group shall calculate and recognize interest income through account balance of financial assets multiplying effective interest. 10.1.2 Financial assets at FVTOCI Impairment losses or gains related to financial assets at FVTOCI, interest income measured using effective interest method and exchange gains or losses are recognized into profit or loss for the current period, except for the above circumstances, changes in fair value of the financial assets are included in other comprehensive income. Amounts charged to profit or loss for every period equal to the amount charged to profit or loss as it is measured at amortized costs. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall be removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in profit or loss. Changes in fair value of non-trading equity instrument investments designated as financial assets at FVTOCI are recognized in other comprehensive income, and the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income allocated to the part derecognized are transferred and included in retained earnings. During the period in which the Group holds the non-trading equity instrument, revenue from dividends is recognized in profit or loss for the current period when (1) the Group has established the right of collecting 139 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 dividends; (2) it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group; and (3) the amount of dividends can be measured reliably.

Financial instruments - continued 10.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets - continued 10.1.3 Financial assets at FVTPL Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Gain or loss arising from changes in fair values and dividends and interests related to the financial assets are recognized in profit or loss. 10.2 Impairment of financial instruments The Group makes accounting treatment on impairment and recognizes loss allowance for expected credit losses ("ECL") on financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets classified as at FVTOCI and lease receivables. The Group makes a loss allowance against amount of lifetime ECL of notes receivable and accounts receivable arising from transactions adopting the Revenue Standard as well as lease receivables arising from transactions adopting ASBE No. 21- Leases. For other financial instruments, except for the purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, at each balance sheet date, the Group assess changes in credit risk of relevant financial instruments since initial recognition. If the credit risk of the above financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures loss allowance based on the amount of full lifetime; if credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group recognizes loss allowance based on 12-month ECL of the financial instrument. Increase in or reversal of credit loss allowance is included in profit or loss as loss/gain on impairment, except for financial assets classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income. For the financial assets classified as at FVTOCI, the Group recognizes credit loss allowance in other comprehensive income and recognizes the loss/gain on impairment in profit or loss, while the Group does not decrease the carrying amount of such financial assets in the balance sheet. In the previous accounting period, the Group has measured the loss allowance according to the amount of ECL for the entire period of the financial instrument, but on the current balance sheet date, the financial instrument is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition. The Group measures the loss allowance for the financial instrument on the balance sheet date based on the amount of ECL in the next 12 months. The reversal amount of the loss allowance formed is recognized in profit and loss for the period as an impairment gain. 10.2.1 Significant increase of credit risk In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly: 140 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 10. Financial instruments - continued 10.2 Impairment of financial instruments - continued 10.2.1 Significant increase of credit risk - continued (1) Significant changes in internal price indicators of credit risk as a result of a change in credit risk; (2) Significant changes in external market indicators of credit risk for a particular financial instrument or similar financial instruments with the same expected life. These indicators include the credit spread, the credit swap prices for the borrower, the length of time or the extent to which the fair value of a financial asset has been less than its amortized cost and other market information related to the borrower, such as changes in the price of a borrower's debt and equity instruments. (3) Significant changes in actual or expected external credit rating for the financial instruments; (4) An actual or expected internal credit rating downgrade for the borrower (5) Adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change in the debtor's ability to meet its debt obligations; (6) An actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the debtor; (7) Significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor; (8) Significant changes in circumstances expected to reduce the debtor's economic incentive to make scheduled contractual payments; (9) Significant changes in the expected performance and behavior of the debtor; (10) Changes in the entity's credit management approach in relation to the financial instrument; No matter whether credit risk has increased significantly or not subsequent to aforementioned assessment, the Group considers credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly when contractual payments of financial instruments past due over 30 days (inclusive). The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have lower credit risk at the balance sheet date. A financial instrument is determined to have lower credit risk if: i) it has a lower risk of default, ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations. 10.2.2 Credit-impaired financial assets When the Group expected occurrence of one or more events which may cause adverse impact on future cash flows of a financial asset, the financial asset will become a credit-impaired financial assets. Objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes but not limited to the following observable events: (1) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor; (2) A breach of contract by the debtor, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; (3) The creditor, for economic or legal reasons relating to the debtor's financial difficulty, granting a concession to the debtor; (4) It becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganizations; (5) Purchase or originate a financial asset with a large scale of discount, which reflects facts of credit loss incurred. Whatever the aforementioned assessment results are, the Group presumes that the financial instruments has defaulted when contractual payments of financial instruments past due over 90 days (inclusive). 141 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Financial instruments - continued 10.2 Impairment of financial instruments - continued 10.2.3 Determination of expected credit loss Lease receivables are assessed for ECL individually by the Group. In addition, the Group uses provision matrix to calculate ECL for notes receivable and accounts receivable based on aging. According to the Group's assessment of the credit risk of accounts receivable, the aging information can reflect the customer's ability of repayment at the maturity of accounts receivable. For other receivables, the credit loss of relevant financial instruments shall be determined on a portfolio basis in addition to those individually significant. The Group classifies financial instruments into different groups based on common risk characteristics. Common credit risk characteristics include the date of initial recognition, remaining contractual maturity, etc. The Group determines expected credit losses of relevant financial instruments using the following methods: For a financial asset, a credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to the Group under the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive; For a lease receivable, a credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to the Group under the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive; For a financial asset with credit-impaired at the balance sheet date, but not purchased or originated credit-impaired, a credit losses is the difference between the asset's gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The factors reflected in methods of measurement of expected credit losses include an unbiased and probability- weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes; time value of money; reasonable and supportable information about past events, current conditions and forecasts on future economic status at balance sheet date without unnecessary additional costs or efforts. 10.2.4 Write-down of financial assets When the Group will no longer reasonably expect that the contractual cash flows of financial assets can be collected in aggregate or in part, the Group will directly write down the carrying amount of the financial asset, which constitutes derecognition of relevant financial assets. 10.3 Transfer of financial assets The Group will derecognize a financial asset if one of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; (ii) the financial asset has been transferred and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset is transferred to the transferee; or (iii) although the financial asset has been transferred, the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset but has not retained control of the financial asset. 142 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 10. Financial instruments - continued 10.3 Transfer of financial assets - continued 24. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset, and it retains control of the financial asset, the Group will recognize the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognize an associated liability. The Group will measure relevant liabilities as follows: For transferred financial assets carried at amortized cost, the carrying amount of relevant liabilities is the carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvement less amortized cost of the Group's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upon transfer of financial assets) with addition of amortized cost of obligations assumed by the Group (if the Group assumes relevant obligations upon transfer of financial assets). Relevant liabilities are not designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. For transferred financial assets carried at fair value, the carrying amount of relevant financial liabilities is the carrying amount of financial assets transferred with continuing involvement less fair value of the Group's retained rights (if the Group retains relevant rights upon transfer of financial assets) with addition of fair value of obligations assumed by the Group (if the Group assumes relevant obligations upon transfer of financial assets). Accordingly, the fair value of relevant rights and obligations shall be measured on an individual basis. For a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that satisfies the derecognition criteria, the difference between (1) the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred at the derecognition date; and (2) the sum of the consideration received from the transfer of financial assets and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to the part derecognized which has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss. If the financial assets transferred by the Group are designated as equity instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income that are not held for trading, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in retained earnings. If a part of the transferred financial asset qualifies for derecognition, the overall carrying amount of the financial asset prior to transfer is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized, based on the respective fair value of those parts at the date of transfer. The difference between (1) the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized on the date of derecognition; and (2) the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to the part derecognized which has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss. If the financial assets transferred by the Group are designated as equity instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income that are not held for trading, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in retained earnings. For a transfer of a financial asset in its entirety that does not satisfy the derecognition criteria, the Group will continue to recognize the transferred financial asset in its entirety and recognize the consideration received as financial liabilities. 143 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Financial instruments - continued 10.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments The Group classifies the financial instrument or its components into financial liabilities or equity instruments at initial recognition on the basis of the terms of the contract of the financial instruments, the economic substance as well as legal form reflected, and the definition of financial liabilities or equity instruments. 10.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities On initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. 10.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading (including derivatives that are financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL. Except that the derivative financial liability is presented separately, financial liabilities at FVTPL are presented as financial liabilities held-for-trading. A financial liability is classified as held-for-trading if one of the following conditions is satisfied: It has been assumed principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. On initial recognition, it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and there is objective evidence that the Group has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit- taking. It is a derivative that is not designated as a financial guarantee contract and effective as a hedging instrument. On initial recognition, financial liabilities that meet one of the following conditions are designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: (1) Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces accounting mismatch; (2) The financial liability forms part of a group of financial liabilities or a group of financial assets and financial liabilities, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is reported to key management personnel on that basis; (3) The qualified hybrid financial instrument combines financial liability with embedded derivatives. Held-for-trading financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value, and any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value and any dividend or interest income earned on the financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss. 144 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Financial instruments - continued 1 10.4 Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments - continued 10.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement of financial liabilities - continued 10.4.1.1 Financial liabilities at FVTPL - continued The amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability shall be presented in other comprehensive income, and upon the derecognition of such liability, the accumulated amount of change in fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability, which is recognized in other comprehensive income, is transferred to retained earnings. Other gains or losses arising from changes in fair value and any dividend or interest income earned on the financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss. If the impact of the change in credit risk of such financial liability dealt with in the above way would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, the Group shall present all gains or losses on that liability (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of that liability) in profit or loss. 10.4.1.2 Other financial liabilities Other financial liabilities except for the financial liabilities arising from the transferred financial assets that do not qualify for derecognition or financial liabilities arising from continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, with gain or loss arising from derecognition or amortization recognized in profit or loss. If the Group modifies or renegotiates the contract with the counterparty and the financial liability subsequently measured at amortized cost is not derecognized, but the cash flow of the contract changes, the Group shall re- calculate the carrying amount of the financial liability and recognize the relevant gains or losses in profit or loss of the period. The re-calculated carrying amount of the financial liability shall be determined by the Group according to the cash flow of the renegotiated or modified contract based on the present value discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial liability. For all the costs or expenses arising from the modification or renegotiation of the contract, the Group shall adjust the modified carrying amount of the financial liability and amortize them within the remaining term of the financial liability. 10.4.2 Derecognition of financial liabilities The Group derecognizes a financial liability (or part of it) only when the underlying present obligation (or part of it) is discharged. An agreement between the Group (an existing borrower) and an existing lender to replace the original financial liability with a new financial liability with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. When the Group derecognizes a financial liability or a part of it, it recognizes the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability (or part of the financial liability) derecognized and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or new financial liabilities assumed) in profit or loss. 10.4.3 Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued (including refinanced), repurchased, sold and cancelled by the Group are recognized as changes in equity. Change in fair value of equity instruments is not recognized by the Group. Transaction costs related to equity transactions are deducted from equity. The Group recognizes the distribution to holders of the equity instruments as distribution of profits, and dividends paid do not affect total amount of shareholders' equity. 145 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 10. Financial instruments - continued 10.5 Derivatives and embedded derivatives Derivative financial instruments include forward exchange contracts, resale option and redemption option for convertible bonds, etc. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value at the date when the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that contain financial asset hosts are not separated. The entire hybrid contract is classified and subsequently measured in its entirety as either amortized cost or fair value as appropriate. If the host contract included in the hybrid contract is not a financial asset and meet all of the following criteria, the embedded derivative shall be separated from the hybrid contract by the Group and treated as a stand-alone derivative. (1) The economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not highly related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract; (2) A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and (3) The hybrid instrument is not designated as a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. If the embedded derivative is separated from the hybrid contract, the host contract shall be accounted for in accordance with the applicable standards. If the Group is unable to measure reliably the fair value of an embedded derivative on the basis of its terms and conditions, the fair value of the embedded derivative is the difference between the fair value of the hybrid contract and the fair value of the host contract. If the Group is still unable to measure the fair value of the embedded derivative separately either at acquisition or at a subsequent balance sheet date after the above methods are applied, it designates the entire hybrid contract as a financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss. 10.6 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, the Company has a current enforceable legal right to set off the recognized amounts and intends to settle on a net basis, or to realize an asset and settle the liability simultaneously. In all other situations, they are presented separately in the balance sheet and are not offset. 10.7 Compound instruments Convertible bonds issued by the Group that contain both the liability, the conversion option, the resale option and redemption option are classified separately into respective items on initial recognition. Conversion option that is settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company's own equity instruments is an equity instrument. At the date of issue, the liability, resale option derivatives and redemption option derivatives are initially measured at fair value. The difference between the gross proceeds of the issue of the convertible bonds and the fair value assigned to the liability, resale option derivatives and redemption option derivatives, representing the conversion option for the holder to convert the bonds into equity instrument, is included in other equity instruments. 146 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Financial instruments - continued 10.7 Compound instruments - continued In subsequent periods, the liability component of the convertible bonds is carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The resale option derivatives and redemption option derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. The conversion option classified as equity instruments remains in equity instruments. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the option. Transaction costs incurred for the issue of the convertible bonds are allocated to the liability, equity instruments, resale option derivative components and redemption option derivative components in proportion to their respective fair values. Transaction costs relating to the resale option derivative components and redemption option are charged to profit or loss. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component and amortized over the period of the convertible loan notes using the effective interest method. Transaction costs relating to the equity instruments component are charged directly to equity instruments. 11. Inventories 11.1 Categories of inventories The Group's inventories mainly include raw materials, work in progress, finished goods, reusable materials, etc. Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other expenditures incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. 11.2 Valuation method of inventories upon delivery The actual cost of inventories upon delivery is calculated using the weighted average method. 11.3 Basis for determining net realizable value of inventories At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. If the net realizable value is below the cost of inventories, a provision for decline in value of inventories is made. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion, the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of clear evidence obtained, and takes into consideration the purposes of holding inventories and effect of post balance sheet events. For large quantity and low value items of inventories, provision for decline in value is made based on categories of inventories. Provision for decline in value of other inventories is made based on the excess of cost of inventory over its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis. After the provision for decline in value of inventories is made, if the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist so that the net realizable value of inventories is higher than their cost, the original provision for decline in value is reversed and the reversal is included in profit or loss for the period. 11.4 Inventory count system The perpetual inventory system is maintained for stock system. 147 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are required to satisfy the following conditions: (1) the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset or disposal group; (2) the sale is highly probable, i.e. the Group has made a resolution about selling plan and obtained a confirmed purchase commitment and the sale is expected to be completed within one year. The Group measures the no-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Where the carrying amount is higher than the net amount of fair value less costs to sell, the carrying amount should be reduced to the net amount of fair value less costs to sell, and such reduction is recognized in impairment loss of assets and included in profit or loss for the period. Meanwhile, provision for impairment of held-for-sale assets are made. When there is increase in the net amount of fair value of non-current assets held for sale less costs to sell at the balance sheet date, the original deduction should be reversed in impairment loss of assets recognized after the classification of held-for-sale category, and the reverse amount is include in profit or loss for the period. Losses of assets that are classified as held for sale are not reversed. Non-current assets classified as held-for-sale or disposal groups are not depreciated or amortized, interest and other costs of liabilities of disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognized. All or part of equity investments in an associate or joint venture are classified as held-for-sale assets. For the part that is classified as held-for-sale, it is no longer accounted for using the equity method since the date of the classification. 13. Long-term equity investments 13.1 Determination criteria of joint control and significant influence Control is achieved when the Group has the power over the investee, is exposed or, has the rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affect its return. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. When determining whether an investing enterprise is able to exercise control or significant influence over an investee, the effect of potential voting rights of the investee (for example, warrants and convertible debts) held by the investing enterprises or other parties that are currently exercisable or convertible shall be considered. 148 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 13. Long-term equity investments - continued 13.2 Determination of initial investment cost For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the cost of acquisition at the date of combination. The expenses incurred by the acquirer or in respect of auditing, legal services, valuation and consultancy services and other associated administrative expenses attributable to the business combination are recognized in profit or loss when they are incurred. Long-term equity investment acquired otherwise than through a business combination is initially measured at its cost. When the entity is able to exercise significant influence or joint control (but not control) over an investee due to [additional investment], the cost of long-term equity investments is the sum of the fair value of previously-held equity investments determined in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.22 - Financial Instruments; Recognition and Measurement (CAS 22) and the additional investment cost. 13.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss 13.3.1 Long-term equity investment accounted for using the cost method The Company's separate financial statements adopted cost method to account for the long-term equity investments of subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an investee that is controlled by the Group. Under the cost method, a long-term equity investment is measured at initial investment cost. When additional investment is made or the investment is recouped, the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. Investment income is recognized in the period in accordance with the attributable share of cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee. 13.3.2 Long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity method The Group accounts for investment in associates and joint ventures using the equity method. An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and a joint venture is an entity over which the Group exercises joint control along with other investors. Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, no adjustment is made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the Group's share of the fair value of the investee's identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the difference is recognized in profit or loss for the period, and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. 149 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 13. Long-term equity investments - continued 13.3 Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss - continued 13.3.2 Long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity method - continued Under the equity method, the Group recognizes its share of the net profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the investee for the period as investment income and other comprehensive income for the period. Meanwhile, carrying amount of long-term equity investment is adjusted: the carrying amount of long-term equity investment is decreased in accordance with its share of the investee's declared profit or cash dividends; Other changes in owners' equity of the investee other than net profit or loss and other comprehensive income are correspondingly adjusted to the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment, and recognized in the capital reserve. The Group recognizes its share of the investee's net profit or loss based on the fair value of the investee's individual identifiable assets, etc. at the acquisition date after making appropriate adjustments. When the investors' accounting policies and accounting period are inconsistent with those of the Company, the Company recognizes investment income and other comprehensive income after making appropriate adjustments to conform to the Company's accounting policies and accounting period. However, unrealized gains or losses resulting from the Group's transactions with its associates and joint ventures, which do not constitute a business, are eliminated based on the proportion attributable to the Group and then investment gains or losses or is recognized. However, unrealized losses are not eliminated if they result from the Group's transactions with its associates and joint ventures which represent impairment losses on the transferred assets. The Group discontinues recognizing its share of net losses of the investee after the carrying amount of the long- term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of its net investment in the investee is reduced to zero. If the Group has incurred obligations to assume additional losses of the investee, a provision is recognized according to the expected obligation, and recorded as investment loss for the period. Where net profits are subsequently made by the investee, the Group resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its share of the profits exceeds the share of losses previously not recognized. 13.4 Disposal of long-term equity investments On disposal of a long term equity investment, the difference between the proceeds actually received and receivable and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the period. 14. Fixed assets 14.1 Recognition criteria for fixed assets Fixed assets are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and have useful lives of more than one accounting year. A fixed asset is recognized only when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Fixed assets are initially measured at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred for the fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset and if it is probable that economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the subsequent expenditures can be measured reliably. Meanwhile the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 14.2 Depreciation method In addition of lands operated overseas for which no depreciation is provided, a fixed asset is depreciated over its useful life using the straight-line method since the month subsequent to the one in which it is ready for intended use. 150 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 14. Fixed assets - continued 14.2 Depreciation method - continued The useful life, estimated net residual value rate and annual depreciation rate of each category of fixed assets are as follows: Depreciation period Category (years) Residual value rate (%) Annual depreciation rate (%) Buildings 12-35 years - 2.86-8.33 Machinery and equipment 3-8 years - 12.50-33.33 Transportation vehicles 2-6 years - 16.67-50.00 Electronic equipment, fixtures and 3-10 years - 10.00-33.33 furniture Decoration costs 3-10 years - 10.00-33.33 Estimated net residual value of a fixed asset is the estimated amount that the Group would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. 14.3 Other descriptions If a fixed asset is upon disposal or no future economic benefits are expected to be generated from its use or disposal, the fixed asset is derecognized. When a fixed asset is sold, transferred, retired or damaged, the amount of any proceeds on disposal of the asset net of the carrying amount and related taxes is recognized in profit or loss for the period. The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied at least once at each financial year-end, and account for any change as a change in an accounting estimate. 15. Construction in progress Construction in progress is measured at its actual costs. The actual costs include various construction expenditures during the construction period, borrowing costs capitalized before it is ready for intended use and other relevant costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated. Construction in progress is transferred to a fixed asset when it is ready for intended use. 16. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset are capitalized when expenditures for such asset and borrowing costs are incurred and activities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced. Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying asset being acquired, constructed or produced becomes ready for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Where funds are borrowed under a specific-purpose borrowing, the amount of interest to be capitalized is the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds. Where funds are borrowed under general-purpose borrowings, the Group determines the amount of interest to be capitalized on such borrowings by applying a capitalization rate to the weighted average of the excess of cumulative expenditures on the asset over the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings. The capitalization rate is the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the general-purpose borrowings. 151 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Intangible asset 17.1 Valuation method, useful life and impairment test of intangible assets Intangible assets include software, patents, trademarks, land use rights and customer relations, etc. An intangible asset is measured initially at cost. When an intangible asset with a finite useful life is available for use, its original is amortized over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The amortization methods, useful lives, and estimated net residual value rates of each class of fixed assets are as follows: 17.1 Valuation method, useful life and impairment test of intangible assets - continued Category Amortization method Useful life (Years) Residual value rate (%) Land Use Rights Straight-line method 50 years - Software Straight-line method 3-10 years - Patents Straight-line method 3-20 years - Trademarks Straight-line method 10 years - Customer relation Straight-line method 16 years - For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, the Group reviews the useful life and amortization method at the end of the year, and makes adjustments when necessary. For the impairment test of intangible assets, see Notes (III), 18 for details. 17.2 Accounting policies on research and development expenditure Expenditure during the research phase is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure during the development phase that meets all of the following conditions at the same time is recognized as intangible asset. Expenditure during development phase that does not meet the following conditions is recognized in profit or loss for the period. (1) It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; (2) The Group has the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (3) The Group can demonstrate the ways in which the intangible asset will generate economic benefits, including the evidence of the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset; (4) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; and (5) The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliably measured. If the expenditures cannot be distinguished between the research phase and development phase, the Group recognizes all of them in profit or loss for the period. The cost of intangible assets formed in internal development activities only includes the total amount of expenditures from the time point when the capitalization conditions are met to the time when the intangible assets reach the predetermined uses. For the same intangible asset, the expenditures that have been expensed into profit and loss before the capitalization conditions are met in the development process will not be adjusted. 152 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 18. Impairment of long-term assets The Group reviews the long-term equity investments, fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with a finite useful life, and assets relating to contract cost at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication that they have suffered an impairment loss. If an impairment indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. Intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the assets may be impaired. Recoverable amount is estimated on individual basis. If it is not practical to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs will be estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or asset group is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If such recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment losses in respect of the deficit is recognized in profit or loss for the period. In determining impairment loss of assets associated with contract costs, impairment loss shall be determined in accordance with other assets associated with contracts and recognized in according to other relevant accounting standards for business enterprises; then, the Group shall make impairment allowance and recognize an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset associated with contract costs recognized exceeds: (i) the remaining amount of consideration that the Group expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates; less (ii) the costs expected to be incurred to transfer the relative goods or services. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least at the end of each year. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is considered together with the related assets group(s), i.e., goodwill is reasonably allocated to the related assets group(s) or each of assets group(s) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount of the assets group or sets of assets groups (including goodwill) is less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss is firstly allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to such assets group or sets of assets groups, and then to the other assets of the group on the pro-rata basis of the carrying amount of each asset (other than goodwill) in the group. Except for impairment loss of assets related to contract costs, once an impairment loss of assets above is recognized, it will not be reversed in any subsequent period. The Group shall recognize in profit or loss a reversal of an impairment loss previously recognized when the impairment conditions have changed. The reversed carrying amount of the asset at the reversal date shall not exceed the amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognized previously. 19. Long-term prepaid expenses Long-term prepaid expenses represent expenses incurred that should be borne and amortized over the current and subsequent periods (together of more than one year). Long-term prepaid expenses are amortized using the straight-line method over the expected periods in which benefits are derived. 20. Contract liabilities A contract liability represents the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. 153 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 21. Employee benefits 21.1 Accounting treatment of short-term benefits Actually occurred short-term employee benefits are recognized as liabilities, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the period or in the costs of relevant assets in the accounting period in which employees provide services to the Group. Staff welfare expenses incurred by the Group are recognized in profit or loss for the period or the costs of relevant assets based on the actually occurred amounts when it actually occurred. Non- monetary staff welfare expenses are measured at fair value. Payment made by the Group of social security contributions for employees such as premiums or contributions on medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, etc. and payments of housing funds, as well as trade union fund and employee education fund provided in accordance with relevant requirements, are calculated according to prescribed bases and percentages in determining the amount of employee benefits and recognized as relevant liabilities, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the period or the costs of relevant assets in the accounting period in which employees provide services. 21.2 Accounting treatment of post-employment benefits Post-employment benefits are classified into defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. During the accounting period of rendering service to employees of the Group, amount which should be paid according to defined contribution plans is recognized as liabilities, and recognized in profit or loss or related costs of assets. For defined benefit plans, the Group calculates defined benefit plan obligations using projected unit credit method and the service cost resulting from employee service in the current period is recorded in profit or loss or the cost of relevant assets. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows: service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on settlements); net interest of net liabilities or assets of defined benefit plan(including interest income of planned assets, interest expenses of defined benefit plan obligations and effect of asset ceiling); and Changes arising from re-measurement of net liabilities or net assets of defined benefit plans Service costs and net interest of net liabilities and net assets of defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss of current period or costs of related assets. Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset) (including actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset), and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)) are recognized in other comprehensive income. Deficit or surplus from present value of obligation of defined benefit plans less fair value of planned asset of defined benefit plans are recognized as net liabilities or net assets of a defined benefit plan. 21.3 Accounting treatment of termination benefits A liability for a termination benefit is recognized in profit or loss for the period at the earlier of when the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw from the termination plan or the redundancy offer and when the Group recognizes any related restructuring costs or expenses. 154 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 22. Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation related to a contingency such as products quality assurance, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account factors pertaining to a contingency such as the risks, uncertainties and time value of money. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. 23. Share-based payments A share-based payment is a transaction which the Group grants equity instruments, or incurs liabilities for amounts that are determined based on the price of equity instruments, in return for services rendered by employees. The Group's share-based payments include equity-settled share-based payments and cash-settled share-based payments. 23.1 Equity-settled share-based payments Equity-settled share-based payments granted to employees Equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted to employees at the grant date. Such amount is recognized as related costs or expenses on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest, with a corresponding increase in capital reserve. 23.2 Accounting treatment related to implementation, modification and termination of share-based payment arrangement At each balance sheet date during the vesting period, the Group makes the best estimate according to the subsequent latest information of change in the number of employees who are granted with options that may vest, etc. and revises the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The effect of the above estimate is recognized as related costs or expenses, with a corresponding adjustment to capital reserve. In case the Group modifies a share-based payment arrangement, if the modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Group will include the incremental fair value of the equity instruments granted in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received. If the modification increases the number of the equity instruments granted, the Group will include the fair value of additional equity instruments granted in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received. The increase in the fair value of the equity instruments granted is the difference between fair value of the equity instruments before and after the modification on the date of the modification. If the Group modifies the terms or conditions of the share-based payment arrangement in a manner that reduces the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is not otherwise beneficial to the employee, the Group will continue to account for the services received as if that modification had not occurred (other than a cancellation of some or all of the equity instruments granted). If cancellation of the equity instruments granted occurs during the vesting period, the Group will account for the cancellation of the equity instruments granted as an acceleration of vesting, and recognize immediately the amount that otherwise would have been recognized over the remainder of the vesting period in profit or loss for the period, with a corresponding recognition in capital reserve. When the employee or counterparty can choose whether to meet the non-vesting condition but the condition is not met during the vesting period, the Group treats it as a cancellation of the equity instruments granted. 155 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 24. Revenue The revenue of the Group mainly comes from the sales of electronic products. The products sold by the Group mainly include communication products, consumer electronic products, computer and storage products, industrial products, automotive electronic products, medical products and other products. Other operating income is mainly waste sales income. When (or as) a performance obligation in a contract is satisfied, i.e., when (or as) the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services, the Group recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to that performance obligation. A performance obligation is the Group's promise to transfer to a customer a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct, in a contract with the customer. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties and amounts that the Group expects to refund to the customer. If there are two or more of performance obligations included in the contract, at the contract inception, the Group allocates the transaction price to each single performance obligation based on the proportion of stand-alone selling price of goods or services promised in each stand-alone performance obligation. However, if there is conclusive evidence indicating that the contract discount or variable consideration is only relative with one or more (not the whole) performance obligations in the contract, the Group will allocate the contract discount or variable consideration to relative one or more performance obligation. Stand-alone selling price refers to the price of single sales of goods or services. If the stand-alone selling price cannot be observed directly, the Group estimates the stand-alone selling price through comprehensive consideration of all reasonably acquired relative information and maximum use of observable inputs. For contracts that contain variable consideration, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled using either (a) the expected value method or (b) the most likely amount. The estimated amount of variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that such an inclusion will not result in a significant revenue reversal in the future when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. At each balance sheet date, the Group updates the estimated transaction price. For sales with sales return terms attached, as the customer obtains ownership of related goods, the Group recognizes revenue in accordance with the consideration (excluding expected refund amounts due to sales returns) that the Group is expected to charge due to the transfer of goods to the customer, and recognizes liabilities in accordance with expected refund amounts due to sales returns. Meanwhile, the carrying amount at the time of transfer of goods expected to be returned, subsequent to deduction of expected costs from collecting the goods (including the decrease in value of the returned goods), is recognized as an asset and carried forward to cost at the carrying amount at which goods are transferred, net of the cost of asset. For sales with warranties, if the warranties are separate services to the customer other than serving as an assurance that the products sold comply with agreed-upon specifications, the warranties constitute single performance obligations. Otherwise, the Group accounts for warranties in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 13 – Contingencies (ASBE No.13). 156 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 24. Revenue - continued The Group determines whether it is a principal or an agent at the time of the transaction based on whether it owns the "control" of the goods or services before the transfer of such goods or services to the customer. The Group is a principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer, and the revenue shall be recognized based on the total consideration received or receivable; otherwise, the Group is an agent, and the revenue shall be recognized based on the amount of commission or handling fee that is expected to be charged, and such amount is determined based on the net amount of the total consideration received or receivable after deducting the prices payable to other related parties or according to the established commission amount. Where payment is received in advance, the advance payment received shall be recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue when the relevant performance obligation is satisfied. 25. Contract costs Costs of obtaining a contract If the incremental costs (costs that will not occur if no contract obtained) incurred for obtaining the contract are expected to be recovered, the Company recognizes it as an asset and the asset shall be amortized on a basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates and recognized in profit or loss for the period. If the amortization period of the asset does not exceed one year, it is recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it occurs. Other expenses incurred by the Company for obtaining the contract are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it occurs, except as expressly borne by the customer. Costs to fulfill a contract If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract are not within the scope of any standards other than Revenue Standards, the Group recognizes an inventory from the costs incurred to fulfill a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria: (1) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Group can specifically identify; (2) the costs generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future; and (3) the costs are expected to be recovered. The asset mentioned above shall be amortized on a basis that is consistent with the revenue recognition of the goods or services to which the asset relates and recognized in profit or loss for the period. 26. Government grants Government grants are monetary assets and non-monetary assets from the government to the Group at no consideration. A government grant is recognized only when the Group can comply with the conditions attaching to the grant and the Group will receive the grant. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a non-monetary asset, it is measured at fair value. If the fair value cannot be reliably determined, it is measured at a nominal amount. A government grant measured at a nominal amount is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the period. 157 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Government grants - continued 26.1 Determination basis and accounting treatment of government grants related to assets See Notes (V), 36 for details of the Group's government grants related to assets. A government grant related to an asset is recognized as deferred income and included in profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset with the straight-line method. 26.2 Determination basis and accounting treatment of government grants related to income See Notes (V), 51 for details of the Group's government grants related to income. The Group classifies government grants that are difficult to be distinguished as government grants related to income aggregately. For a government grant related to income, if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred in subsequent periods, the grant is recognized as deferred income over the periods in which the related costs or losses are recognized; If the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred, the grant is recognized immediately in profit or loss. A government grant related to the Group's daily activities is recognized in other income based on the nature of economic activities; a government grant not related to the Group's daily activities is recognized in non-operating income and expenses. 27. Deferred tax assets/ deferred tax liabilities The income tax expenses include current income tax and deferred income tax. 27.1 Current income tax At the balance sheet date, current income tax liabilities (or assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid (or recovered) according to the requirements of tax laws. 27.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities For temporary differences between the carrying amounts of certain assets or liabilities and their tax base, or between the carrying amount of those items that are not recognized as assets or liabilities and their tax base that can be determined according to tax laws, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax is generally recognized for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. However, for temporary differences associated with the initial recognition of goodwill and the initial recognition of an asset or liability arising from a transaction (not a business combination) that affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profits (or deductible losses) at the time of transaction, no deferred tax asset or liability is recognized. 158 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 27. Deferred tax assets/ deferred tax liabilities - continued 27.2 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities - continued For deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible losses and tax credits can be utilized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates, according to tax laws, that are expected to apply in the period in which the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Current and deferred tax expenses or income are recognized in profit or loss for the period, except when they arise from transactions or events that are directly recognized in other comprehensive income or in shareholders' equity, in which case they are recognized in other comprehensive income or in shareholders' equity; and when they arise from business combinations, in which case they adjust the carrying amount of goodwill. At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed and reduced if it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to allow the benefit of deferred tax assets to be utilized. Such reduction in amount is reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available. 27.3 Income tax offsetting When the Group has a legal right to settle on a net basis and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis. When the Group has a legal right to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, and deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be reversed, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis. 159 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 28. Leases Lease is a contract that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For contracts that are signed or modified after the date of initial application, at inception/modification of the contracts, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Unless the terms and conditions of the contract are changed, the Group does not reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. 28.1 The Group as Lessee 28.1.1 Right-of-use assets Except for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, at the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use assets. The commencement date of the lease is the date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by the Group. The Group measures the right-of-use assets at cost. The cost of the right-of-use assets comprises: the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities; any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives; any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. Right-of-use assets are depreciated by the Group in accordance with the ASBE No.4 Fixed Assets. If the Group is reasonably certain, that the lease will transfer ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term, the right-of-use assets is depreciated from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the right-of-use assets is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease term. The Group applies ASBE No. 8 Impairment of Assets, to determine whether the right-of-use assets are impaired and perform accounting treatment to identified impairment loss. 28.1.2 Lease liabilities Except for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, at the commencement date of the lease, the Group measures the lease liabilities at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. The lease payments comprise the following payments by the Group for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term: (1) Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives; (2) The exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; (3) Payments for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease; (4) Amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees. 160 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 28. Leases - continued 28.1 The Group as Lessee - continued 28.1.2 Lease liabilities - continued After the lease commencement date, interest expenses on lease liabilities in each period during the lease term are recognized by the Group by using the fixed periodic rate of interest, and recognized in profit or loss or related costs of assets. After the lease commencement date, the Group re-measures lease liabilities and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets in case of the following conditions. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets has been reduced to zero and the lease liabilities still need to be reduced, the deficit is recognized in profit or loss: there is a change in the lease term, or in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, the Group re-measures the lease liabilities, on the basis of the revised lease term and the revised discount rate; there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Group re- measures the lease liabilities, on the basis of the revised lease payments and the unchanged discount rate. 28.1.3 Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets For short-term leases of machinery and equipment and leases of low-value assets to which the recognition exemption is applied by the Group, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are not recognized. A short-term lease refers to a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option. A lease of low value asset refers to a single lease asset, when new, is of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized in profit or loss or the cost of underlying assets on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 28.1.4 Lease modifications A lease modification should be accounted for as a separate lease if both of the following apply: the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price according to the circumstances of the particular contract For a lease medication that is not accounted for as a separate lease, at the effective date of the lease modification, the Group should allocate the consideration in the modified contract, determine the lease term of the modified lease and remeasure the lease liability by discounting the revised payments using a revised discount rate. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease or narrow the term of the lease, the Group should decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset with any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease should be recognized in profit or loss. For remeasurement of lease liabilities from all other lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset. 28.2 The Group as Lessor 28.2.1 Classification of leases Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. 161 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 28.2 The Group as Lessor – continued 28.2.1.1 The Group as lessor under operating leases The Group recognizes lease payments from operating leases as income on a straight-line basis. The Group capitalizes initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease and recognizes those costs as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. 28.2.2 Subleases As a lessor of the sublease, the Group accounts for the original lease contract and the sublease contract as two separate contracts. The Group classifies the subleases based on the right-of-use assets generating from the original lease rather than the underlying assets of the original lease. 29. Hedge accounting 29.1. Basis for using hedge accounting and accounting treatment method Certain financial instruments are used as hedging instruments by the Group for the purpose of managing the risk exposure arising from specific risk, such as exchange rate risk, etc. The Group applies hedging accounting for a hedge that satisfies the prescribed conditions. Hedging activities of the Group include hedges of net investment in foreign operations. At the inception of hedging, the Group officially designated hedging instruments and hedged items, and prepared written documents recording the nature of hedging instruments, hedged items, hedged risks, and hedge effectiveness evaluation methods (including the analysis of the causes of invalid hedges and methods to determine the hedge ratio). The Group will discontinue hedge accounting when one of the following conditions occurs: Due to changes in risk management objectives, the hedging relationship no longer meets the risk management objectives. The hedging instrument expires, or is sold, terminated or exercised. There is no longer an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instruments, or in the changes of the value arising from the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, the impact of credit risk begins to dominate. The hedging relationship no longer meets other conditions for using the hedge accounting methods. Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss. When disposing of all or part of foreign operations, the profits or losses of the above hedging instruments included in other comprehensive income shall be reclassified in the current profits and losses. 162 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 29 Hedge accounting – continued 29.2 Methods of assessing effectiveness of hedges The Group continuously evaluates whether the hedging relationship meets the requirements of hedging effectiveness on and after the inception date of hedging. If the hedging meets the following conditions at the same time, the Group will determine that the hedging relationship meets the requirements for hedging effectiveness: There is an economic relationship between hedged items and hedging instruments. Among the value changes caused by the economic relationship between hedged items and hedging instruments, the impact of credit risk does not dominate. The hedging ratio of the hedging relationship will be equal to the ratio of the actual number of the Group's hedging items to the actual number of hedging instruments. If the hedging relationship no longer meets the requirement of hedging effectiveness due to the hedging ratio, but the risk management objectives of the hedging relationship have not changed, the Group will rebalance the hedging relationship. The number of hedged items or hedging instruments in the hedging relationship is adjusted so that the hedging ratio meets the requirements of hedging effectiveness again. 30. Critical Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies and Key Assumptions and Uncertainties in Accounting Estimate In the application of the Group's accounting policies, which are described in Note (III), the Group is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of items in the financial statements that cannot be measured accurately, due to the internal uncertainty of the operating activities. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experiences of the Group's management as well as other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The aforementioned judgments, estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly on a going concern basis. The effect of a change in accounting estimate is recognized in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only; or recognized in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both. -Key assumptions and uncertainties in accounting estimates At balance sheet date, the following are the key assumptions and uncertainties in accounting estimates, it is probable that carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in future periods may be significantly adjusted: Impairment of accounts receivable The Group's accounts receivable arise from transactions under the Revenue Standards and contain no significant financing component. When evaluating the provision for ECL of the accounts receivable, the management needs to collect the existing information and use significant accounting estimates, as well as collect information including historical bad debt records, default or delayed payment, as well as aging of accounts receivable and other factors to estimate and review the amount of lifetime ECL of the accounts receivable. As of 31 December 2021, the balance of the Group's provision for credit losses of accounts receivable was RMB 9,974,696.34 (31 December 2020: RMB 5,521,456.88). 163 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 (III) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - continued 30. Critical Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies and Key Assumptions and Uncertainties in Accounting Estimate - continued Inventories The Group makes provision for the decline in the value of inventory according to the difference between the inventory costs beyond its net realizable value. The recognition of the net realizable value of inventories requires the estimation of the expected sales in the future and the estimation of the costs, expenses and taxes to be incurred. The differences (if any) between the re-estimated value and the current estimate will impact the carrying amount of the inventories over the period in which the estimate is changed. As of 31 December 2021, the balance of the Group's provision for the decline in the value of inventories was RMB 107,428,347.47 (31 December 2020: RMB 98,947,405.40). Deferred tax assets The benefit of the deferred tax assets may depend on the future taxable profits and the expected tax rate when associated deductible temporary differences is realized. If future taxable profits or actual tax rate is less than expected, the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets will be reduced and the reduction will be reversed to profits or losses in the corresponding period. As of 31 December 2021, the Group had recognized the deferred tax assets of RMB 324,056,763.90 (31 December 2020: RMB 312,238,903.06). Impairment of goodwill The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the present value of the future expected cash flows from the asset groups or set of asset groups to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the present value requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the asset groups or set of asset groups and also choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. When considering future cash flows and discount rates, changes in key assumptions such as discount rates and long-term growth rates used by the Group may have a significant impact on the present value of future cash flows used in the impairment testing. Useful life and estimated net residual value of fixed assets As disclosed in Note (III) 14, the Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset at least once at each financial year-end. Technological innovations and intense competition in the industry have a significant impact on the estimation of useful life. The Group's management did not find anything that might shorten or extend the useful life of fixed assets of the Group or require changing the estimated net residual value. 164 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Changes in important accounting policies and accounting estimates 31.1 Changes in important accounting policies Interpretation of accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 The implementation of the accounting standards for business enterprises (hereinafter referred to as "the interpretation of the accounting standards for business enterprises reform No. 14" issued by the Ministry of Finance on 26 January 2021) resulted in the change of the basis of interest rate. Accounting treatment for changes in the basis for determining the cash flow of relevant contracts caused by the reform of benchmark interest rate In the case that the benchmark interest rate reform leads to the change of the basis for determining the cash flow of relevant contracts, when only the benchmark interest rate reform directly leads to the change of the basis for determining the cash flow of financial assets or financial liabilities that use the effective interest rate method to determine the interest income or expenses, and the determination basis before and after the change is economically equivalent, the group refers to the treatment method of the change of floating interest rate, The effective interest rate is recalculated according to the future cash flow changed only due to the benchmark interest rate reform, and subsequent measurement is carried out on this basis. In addition to the above changes, if there are other changes in the financial assets or financial liabilities that use the effective interest rate method to determine the interest income or expenses at the same time, the group will conduct accounting treatment for the changes caused by the reform of the benchmark interest rate according to the above provisions, and then evaluate whether other changes lead to the termination of the recognition of the financial assets or financial liabilities according to the accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - recognition and measurement of financial instruments. Since January 1, 2021, the group has handled the business related to the benchmark interest rate reform in accordance with the provisions of Interpretation No. 14. After evaluation, the Group believes that the adoption of this provision has no significant impact on the financial statements of the group. Interpretation of accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 15 The Ministry of Finance issued and implemented the interpretation of accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 15 (hereinafter referred to as "Interpretation No. 15") on December 30, 2021, which standardized the presentation of centralized and unified management of the funds of the parent company and member units through internal settlement centers and financial companies.

The Group's management believes that any reasonable change in the above assumptions would not cause the carrying amount of FAFG China asset group to exceed its recoverable amount and therefore has determined that the goodwill is not impaired. (5) Adjustment on the recognized temporary value within 12 months subsequent to acquisition date The Group acquired FAFG in December 2020. The Group employed an appraisal agency Duff & Phelps Consulting (Shenzhen) Limited to assess the fair value of identifiable net assets of FAFG, but the Group has not received the appraisal report as at the issuance of 2020 Financial Report. Where the fair value of each identifiable asset, liability and contingent liability acquired in a merger or the cost of a business combination can only be determined provisionally, the Group recognizes and measures the merger of FAFG on the basis of the temporary value so determined. The Group recognized inventories, fixed assets and intangible assets as per their temporary value at RMB 1,080,142,123.19, RMB 380,277,087.35 and RMB 138,226,853.29, respectively, in the 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements. On the acquisition date, the Group recognized goodwill of RMB 1,048,855,739.68. In June 2021, the Group obtained the appraisal report of identifiable net assets and recognized RMB 1,096,828,257.66 of inventories, increasing by RMB 16,686,134.47 compared with the original temporary value; recognized RMB 661,970,691.35 of fixed assets, increasing by RMB 281,693,604.00 compared with the original temporary value; recognized RMB 348,799,624.31 of intangible assets, increasing by RMB 210,572,771.02 compared with the original temporary value; recognized RMB 87,471,785.94 of other non- current financial assets; recognized RMB 128,525,419.47 of deferred tax liabilities; and recognized an increase of RMB 1,343,365.74 of minority interests, the total of which were RMB 466,555,510.22 higher than their temporary value. Therefore, the Group should reduce RMB 466,555,510.22 of goodwill on the acquisition date. The comparative financial statements have been restated. 19.

Long-term employee benefits payable - continued (2) Changes in defined benefit plans - continued UGTW and USITW, the Group's subsidiaries, provide retirement benefit plan for full-time regular employees hired before 1 July 2005. The Group acquired FAFG in 2020. FAFG provides retirement benefit plan for its employees, which provides a pension for some employees who have worked for more than 10 years according to the working years and certain rate of their salaries in recent 10 years, and a pension for some employees who have worked for more than 2 years according to the working years and certain rate of their salaries in recent 12 months. The defined benefit plans expose the Group to actuarial risks such as discount rate, future salary growth rate, etc. The Group hired Towers Watson Business Management Consulting Co., Ltd. to estimate the present value of retirement benefit plan of UGTW and USITW by actuary in accordance with the projected unit credit method. Future salary growth rate and mortality rate are used to estimate the future cash outflows to recognize the present value of the plan at a discounted rate which is determined in accordance with the market interest rate of high-quality corporate bonds at the balance sheet date. In countries where there is no market for such bonds, the market interest rate for government bonds (at the balance sheet date) shall be used. Since the Group's post- employment benefit obligations remain effective for 11 to 13 years, the discount rate is determined by reference to the bonds with a similar duration to the post-employment benefit obligations. Therefore, the average interest rate for government bonds with a duration of 11 years or more is referenced. The Group recognizes liabilities based on the actuarial result, with gains or losses arising from actuary recognized in other comprehensive income and not to be reversed to profit or loss in subsequent accounting periods. Past service cost is included in profit or loss for the period when the modification to the plan is made. And net interest is recognized as the amount of net liabilities or assets of the defined benefit plan multiplying by an appropriate discount rate. The following table lists the significant actuarial assumptions used by UGTW and USITW in determining the present value of the defined benefit plan obligations: 31/12/2021 31/12/2020 Discount rate 0.75% 0.9% Future salary growth rate 2.25% 2.25% Assumptions made based on the sixth Assumptions made based on the fifth Mortality rate Mortality Table in Taiwan Mortality Table in Taiwan Sensitive analysis as below is based on reasonable changes of corresponding assumptions at the end of the reporting period (all other assumptions remain unchanged): When the discount rate is up (down) 0.5%, the present value of defined benefit plan obligations of UGTW and USITW will be decreased by RMB 6,009,465.79 (increased by RMB 6,475,205.14) and RMB4,927,577.68 (increased by RMB 5,309,705.07), respectively. When the future salary growth rate is up (down) 0.5%, the present value of defined benefit plan obligations of UGTW and USITW will be increased by RMB 10,858,959.57 (decreased by RMB 10,181,311.11) and RMB 675,345.10 (decreased by RMB 636,418.32), respectively. 196 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

When the future salary growth rate is up (down) 0.5%, the present value of defined benefit plan obligations of FAFG will be increased by RMB 2,679,222.46 (decreased by RMB 2,536,049.36). As it is unlikely that an assumption can change in an isolated manner due to correlations among certain assumptions, the sensitivity analysis above may not reflect actual changes in present value of defined benefit plans. In sensitivity analysis above, the method used to calculate net liabilities of defined benefit plans at the end of the period is the same with that used to recognize related liabilities in balance sheet. Compared with previous years, methods and assumptions adopted to analyze sensitivity remain unchanged. 35.

Hedge Disclose by category the following information: hedge items, related hedging instruments, the qualitative and quantitative information of hedged risks: The Group acquired FAFG through USI France under Universal Global Technology Co., Limited, its wholly- owned subsidiary, in order to expand its global operations and market layout in electronic design and manufacturing. The Group's net investment in FAFG's foreign operations with EUR as the functional currency is exposed to risks of exchange rate changes in EUR. The Group uses loan contracts in EUR to manage the foreign exchange risk of the net investment in FAFG's foreign operations. The Group's foreign borrowings are in EUR, which is also the functional currency of FAFG. The exchange rate of EUR is the basic variable for both the hedging instrument (short-term and long-term borrowings) and the hedged item (the Group's net investment in foreign operations of FAFG). The Group designates the overall foreign exchange risk component of short- term and long-term borrowings as the hedging instrument and designates a portion of the Group's net investment in foreign operations of FAFG as the hedged item, which are equal in quantity. The Group uses hedges for net investment in foreign operations. 212 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Interest rate risk - risk of changes in cash flows The Group's cash flow interest rate risk of financial instruments relates primarily to variable-rate bank borrowings (see Note (V). 22 & 30 for details). The Group closely monitors the effects of changes in the interest rates on the Group's interest rate risk exposures. It is the Group's policy to keep its borrowings at floating rate of interests with no other arrangements such as interest rate swaps. 222 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Other price risk The price risk of the Group mainly arises from held-for-trading equity instrument investment and other equity instrument investment. The Group reduces the price risk of equity instrument investment by holding a variety of equity securities portfolio. 1.2 Credit risk 40. As at 31 December 2021, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from: cash and bank balances (Note (V). 1), held-for-trading financial assets (Note (V). 2), notes receivable (Note (V). 3), accounts receivable (Note (V). 4), portion of other receivables (Note (V). 6), non-current assets due within one year (Note (V). 8), portion of other current assets (Note (V). 9), long-term receivables (Note (V). 10), portion of other non-current assets (Note (V). 21) and non-current financial assets at FVTPL that are not included in the impairment assessment (Note (V). 13). As at the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of the Group's financial assets is its maximum exposure to credit risk. In order to minimize the credit risk, the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of financial assets at each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate provision for credit loss is made for relevant financial assets. In this regard, the management of the Group considers that the Group's credit risk is significantly reduced. The credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited because they are deposited with banks with high credit ratings. As of 31 December 2021, the balance of bank acceptance bills held by the Group was RMB 78,960,907.84, of which all issuing banks were banks with high credit rating. Therefore, the management of the Group believes that the credit risk of relevant bank acceptance bills is low. As at 31 December 2021, the balance of accounts receivable of the Group's top 5 customers was RMB 7,045,433,457.45 (31 December 2020: RMB 6,418,226,754.66), accounting for 56.50% (31 December 2020: 61.28%) of the Group's accounts receivable. Except for that, the Group has no other significant credit risk exposures concentrated on a single financial asset or a portfolio of financial assets with similar characteristics. 223 / 258 Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
