Thanks to our unwavering dedication, we achieved commendable results, with our operating revenue and profit soaring to record highs as we attained robust growth across economic cycles. During the year, we recorded operating revenue of RMB15.695 billion, up 11.46% year on year; and a net profit attributable to our shareholders of RMB3.87 billion, representing an increase of 21.37% from the year earlier.

And, riding tailwinds, we achieved leapfrog development in the new energy business. As a result, the visibility and reputation of our brand—Goneo—have been further enhanced. In 2023, we were committed to innovation-driven development. Based on customer needs, we unveiled a range of highly recognised new products, such as the Master Track Socket, the Butterfly Wing Ultra-thin Switch, the Bladeless Fan Lamp, the “Mini Power Cabin” Socket, the Safe Charging Point, and the Smart No-main-lamp Lighting. These inventions have elevated Goneo to new heights in terms of smart, high-end and trendy products. Throughout the year, the Company won more than ten Chinese and international design awards, including iF, Red Dot, IDEA, and Gmark. In 2023, we vigorously promoted channel reform as well, converting existing store-in-stores into flagship stores carrying comprehensive Goneo products. This has elevated both the stature of our outlets and the image of Goneo as a provider of comprehensive products. Furthermore, we also introduced a new retail model to achieve collaborative growth between our online and offline channels. In 2023, we drove comprehensive brand upgrades. We joined forces with globally acclaimed light designer Roger Narboni to launch “Murora”, an industry-pioneering no-main-lamp lighting brand that has garnered widespread interest. Furthermore, we secured the endorsement of international supermodel Liu Wen, who subsequently agreed to become the face of Goneo. We also collaborated with esteemed supercar designer Fabrizio Giugiaro in crafting our Master Track Socket. Through a range of branding and digital marketing activities, such as celebrity endorsements and KOL promotions, we have reinforced Goneo's image as a leading trendsetter in safe electrical products. In 2023, we pursued excellence with determination, arranging our businesses, markets, and core capabilities from a forward-looking perspective. We also established our International Business Department, marking our comprehensive entry into the global market. Moreover, we founded our Process Optimisation and Digitalisation Centre and joined forces with Huawei Cloud to officially release Goneo's blueprint for digitalisation. Additionally, construction officially began on our smart lighting industrial base in the city of Huizhou in Guangdong Province. These arrangements have laid a solid foundation for the Company's long-term sustainable development. 4 / 266 Annual Report 2023 In 2023, we also deepened our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, vigorously promoting the utilisation of green energy and innovation in low-carbon products.

Looking ahead, we will remain committed to our three major strategies: a smart ecosystem, new energy, and internationalisation.

(VIII) Structured entities controlled by the Company □ Applicable √ Not applicable VI Discussion and Analysis on the Company’s Future Development (I) Industry landscape and trends √ Applicable □ Not applicable 53 / 266 Annual Report 2023 According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the national GDP grew by 5.2% year on year in 2023; the national per capita disposable income reached RMB39,218 in 2023, up by 6.3% year on year; the national per capita consumption expenditure for the year was RMB26,796, up by 9.2% compared to the previous year; the urbanisation rate of the resident population was 66.16% at the end of the year, up by 0.94 percentage points compared to the end of the previous year. In 2023, several ministries outlined the direction for optimising real estate policies, with local authorities continuing to implement such policies. Previous restrictive measures, introduced during periods of market overheating, are gradually being phased out or refined. Guided by these policies, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development reported that overall housing demand remained stable, with the proportion of second-hand housing transactions reaching a historic high nationwide. The Central Economic Work Conference for the new year emphasised the importance of promoting stability through progress and establishing the new before abolishing the old. It also urged the real estate sector to address industry risks, advance "three major projects," and accelerate the establishment of a new development model. We expect that the steady growth of the national economy, the high-quality development of the real estate industry, and the stable overall housing demand will provide a good environment for the sustainable and healthy development of the Company. The domestic lighting market size is more than RMB200 billion, but the industrial pattern is scattered. In recent years, under the influence of complex changes in the social and economic environment and rising bulk raw materials, small and medium-sized lighting enterprises are facing greater pressure to survive, and the advantages of leading enterprises will be more prominent. With the popularity of minimalist decoration style, as well as the rising concern of consumers for the home light environment, light effect and light health, intelligent no-main-lamp lighting with light quality are gaining more and more popularity and enter gradually into the mass market and become a trend from the previous commercial lighting and high-end home decoration field. At the same time, LED lighting technology innovation drives the cost reduction so that LED light has the basic conditions to become mass consumer goods; on this basis, the Company judges that no-main-lamp lighting will be expected to grow into an important opportunity category in the lighting field. After incubation and cultivation, the Company's no-main-lamp lighting business has adopted a dual- brand-driven strategy and initially built up differentiated core competencies in hardware and software products, channels, supply chain, etc. In the future, the Company will continue to promote business synergies, seize the minds of consumers, and achieve ground-breaking development. The smart home industry has undergone a transformation from single product to system and interaction after the integration and evolution in recent years. With the increasing maturity of the supply-side solutions and the gradual increase in consumer acceptance on the demand side, smart home products are increasingly coming into homes and bringing convenient use experience. AVC monitoring data suggest that in 2023, China's smart home overall (smart home system, smart switch, smart door lock) refined decoration market size reaches 1.128 million sets, of which the smart home 54 / 266 Annual Report 2023 system configuration rate saw increases for three years in a row, and the fine decoration configuration rate increased from 9.6% in 2021 to 20.5% in 2023. The brand pattern of the smart home industry has not yet been formed, and there is a huge market space behind the rapid development. As the core of the smart home system, the lighting control system has obvious user interaction perception and high usage frequency. The Company makes intelligent no-main-lamp lighting and self-developed control system the entry point, and integrates with smart door locks, smart curtain machines, smart clothes drying racks and other ecosystem product categories to provide household solutions of safe electricity use, which will be an important development direction and a differentiated competitive edge for the smart electrical lighting business. In 2023, under the dual impacts of policy and market, the new energy vehicle industry continued to grow rapidly. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in 2023, 9.587 million new energy vehicles were produced and 9.495 million were sold in China, up 35.8% and 37.9% year-on-year, and the market share was 31.6%, reaching ahead of schedule the goal that by 2025, the sales of new energy vehicles will reach about 20% of the total sales of new vehicles in the New Energy Automobile Development Plan (2021-2035) issued by the General Office of the State Council. In June 2023, the State Council issued the Guiding Opinions on Further Establishing a High-Quality Charging Infrastructure System. According to the document, a high- quality charging infrastructure system featuring wide coverage, an appropriate scale, a reasonable structure, and well-improved functions is expected to be preliminarily established by 2030 to support the development of the new energy vehicle industry. Seizing this momentum, the Company swiftly completed the layout of new energy vehicle charging plugs and points for both individual consumers and operators, experiencing a business leap. Anticipating the future transformation in energy structures, the Company has entered the emerging energy storage sector. Leveraging the strengths of domestic supply chains in this sector, the Company has taken the lead in promoting household-oriented smart energy systems in Europe, a region with tight energy supplies and ample future market potential. Domestically, the Company has promoted energy storage systems for industrial and commercial users.

Based on typical countries such as Germany, the Company will continuously develop installer channels. Through proactive participation in 57 / 266 Annual Report 2023 exhibitions and industry exchanges, as well as advertising and promotions on online social media platforms, the Company aims to rapidly increase brand visibility, assist with channel customer acquisition and conversion, and enhance the development foundation. In emerging markets, the Company will continue its multi-category development approach with a focus on electric connection and prioritise localisation in products, methods, and business operations to further empower channels, implement lean market planning, and identify distribution channels in advance. Cross- border e-commerce will be synchronised with offline overseas business, reaching target countries and ultimately achieving the collaborative development of "online promotion and attraction and offline business promotion and conversion". Meanwhile, the Company will seize the rising trend of e-commerce in Southeast Asia and make active arrangements for emerging e-commerce platforms. 5. The Company will continuously deepen its organisational, process and digital transformation to enhance its high-quality operational capabilities across the entire chain. Based on the direction and path outlined in Goneo Group's digital transformation blueprint, the Company will further deepen and advance the implementation of its digital transformation tasks. In 2024, the Company will advance the establishment of an enterprise-level process management system in an orderly manner, which will seamlessly integrate processes with corporate strategies and the organisational structure to bolster process efficiency and reinforce the identification and control of process-related risks. Across various processes such as R&D, production, and delivery, an integrated process management system will be established as an ongoing endeavour to explore the in-depth integration of the Bull Business System into business transformation and process development. Moreover, the Company will drive the establishment of a data governance system to bolster its full-chain digital and high-quality operational capabilities. (IV) Possible risks √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Risk associated with the sluggish macroeconomic growth Domestic and overseas political and economic environments are undergoing profound changes. The main products of the Company are consumer goods widely used at home, office, and other places needing electricity. The cyclical fluctuation of economy will directly influence the actual discretionary income of consumers, consumers' income structure, and the consumer confidence index. Then, consumers' demand for consumer goods including electric connection products and smart electrical lighting products will be affected. If the growth rate of the domestic macroeconomy is sluggish or slides, it will lead to a decrease in discretionary income and the power of consumption of residents. It will also decrease consumers' demand and purchasing capacity for the Company's products. As a result, the business development and the growth of results of the Company. 2. Risk of intensified market competition The civil electrical industry demonstrates full market competition. There are not only many domestic enterprises, but also some famous international brands. Meanwhile, adaptors, wall switches and sockets, and other products, as the main controlled entrance of future smart home, also 58 / 266 Annual Report 2023 have attracted many powerful new enterprises to join in the competition. In the future, the civil electrical and lighting industry is expected to remain its relatively fierce competition. There are uncertainties in the changes of market competition. If the Company cannot adapt to the new competition situation, intensify and expand its original competition advantages, it will face the risk of losing market shares. 3. Risk of the new business development failing to reach expectation At the time of intensifying and expanding the original competition advantages, centering on the scenarios of new energy chargers and home decoration, the Company developed new business such as charging plugs/points, chargers, no-main-lamp lighting, circuit breakers, bathroom heaters, smart door locks, smart clothes drying racks, and smart curtain machines. However, considering uncertain factors including the development trend, market competition, and changes of consumer preferences in relevant fields, the possibility that the development of new businesses will fail to reach expectation cannot be excluded. 4. Risk of the new channel and market development failing to reach expectation According to the differences and changes of consumers' purchasing habits, the Company continued to improve the layout of channels. Regarding the B-end business with decoration companies as the core, the overlap of the channels such as the vehicle after-markets for new energy charging plugs/points and B-end operators and the existing competitive channels is relatively low. Meanwhile, the Company is in the early stage of business expansion in overseas markets and needs to gradually build up its competitive edges. The possibility that the development of new channels and markets will fail to reach expectation cannot be excluded. 5. Risk of fluctuations in main material prices The main materials that the Company needs for production are copper, plastic, assembly, hardware, packaging materials, electronic parts, etc. There is certain relevance between the procurement prices of raw materials and the prices of bulk commodities such as copper and plastic. The procurement prices of raw materials have a relatively big impact on the cost of sales of the Company. If the procurement prices of raw materials rise significantly or fluctuate sharply in the future, it will be harmful to the cost control of the Company and then influence the Company's results.

(“Goneo” or the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated and parent company (the Company as the parent exclusive of subsidiaries) balance sheets as at 31 December 2023, the consolidated and parent company statements of income, cash flows and changes in owners’ equity for the year then ended, as well as the notes to the financial statements. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated and parent company financial position of the Company at 31 December 2023, and the consolidated and parent company operating results and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with the Chinese Accounting Standards (CAS). II Basis for Opinion We conducted our audits in accordance with the Audit Standards for Chinese Registered Accountants. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for Audit of Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the China Code of Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the said Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. III Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are matters that, based on our professional judgment, are deemed most important to the 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. (I) Revenue recognition 1. Description For relevant information disclosed, please refer to the Notes to the Financial Statements: III (XXII), V (II) 1, and XV (I). The revenue of Goneo Group is mainly derived from electric connection, smart electrical lighting and new energy products. In 2023, Goneo Group achieved operating revenue of RMB15.695 billion. Goneo Group has identified different specific methods of revenue recognition for different sales methods. As operating revenue is one of the key performance indicators of Goneo Group, there may be an inherent risk that Goneo Group's management (hereinafter referred to as the “management”) will achieve 131 / 266 Annual Report 2023 specific objectives or expectations through inappropriate revenue recognition. Therefore, we have identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter. 2. Audit response The audit procedures we performed in relation to revenue recognition primarily include: (1) Understanding the key internal controls relating to revenue recognition, evaluating the design of those controls, determining whether they are implemented and testing the effectiveness of the operation of the relevant internal controls; (2) Examining major sales contracts for major contractual terms and evaluating whether the revenue recognition policy is in line with the provisions of the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises; (3) Implementing substantive analysis procedures for operating revenue and gross margin on a monthly, product and customer basis to identify any significant or abnormal fluctuations and analyze the causes of fluctuations; (4) For domestic sales revenue, conducting sample-check on supporting documents related to revenue recognition, including sales contracts, orders, sales invoices, outbound delivery orders, delivery notes, transportation orders and customer sign-off sheets; for export revenue, obtaining information from the Administration of Foreign Exchange and reconciling it with the carrying records, and checking supporting documents such as sales contracts, export customs declarations, freight bills of lading and sales invoices on a sample basis; (5) Confirming with key customers on a sample basis regarding sales for the period based on the accounts receivable letter; (6) Verifying operating revenue recognized around the balance sheet date on a sample basis to supporting documents such as outbound delivery orders, delivery notes, customer sign-off sheets and freight bills of lading, and evaluating whether operating revenue is recognized in the appropriate period; (7) Checking whether the information relating to operating revenue is properly presented in the financial statements. (II) Recognition, measurement and presentation of wealth management products 1. Description For relevant information disclosed, please refer to the Notes to the Financial Statements: III (X), V (I) 2, V (I) 10, V (II) 8, and X. As at 31 December 2023, the wealth management balance of held-for-trading financial assets of Goneo Group was RMB9,727 million, the wealth management balance of other current assets was RMB50 million, and the cumulative return on investment for wealth management products in 2023 amounted to RMB191 million. We determined the recognition, measurement and presentation of wealth management products as a key audit matter due to the large amount of wealth management products and the fact that the return on investment of the relevant products had a significant impact on the net profit of Goneo Group for 2023. 2. Audit response 132 / 266 Annual Report 2023 The audit procedures we performed in relation to the recognition, measurement and presentation of wealth management products primarily include: (1) Understanding the key internal controls relating to investments in wealth management products, evaluating the design of those controls, determining whether they are implemented and testing the effectiveness of the operation of the relevant internal controls; (2) Checking whether the classification of wealth management products is correct based on the contractual cash flow characteristics of the wealth management products and the business model of Goneo Group in managing the wealth management products; (3) Obtaining statements of account related to wealth management products, reconciling them with the carrying amount and writing to banks, securities companies and trust companies to confirm the asset balance and the existence of balances of wealth management products; (4) Checking the supporting documents for increase and reduction in wealth management products during the period on a sample basis, checking whether they have been authorized and approved, and confirming that the amounts relating to the purchase, sale and return on investment of wealth management products are correct and fully recorded; (5) Reviewing the valuation method of wealth management products to check whether the basis for obtaining their fair value, the measurement of their value at the end of the period and the accounting treatment are correct; (6) Checking whether information related to the recognition, measurement and presentation of wealth management products has been properly presented in the financial statements. IV Other Information The Company’s management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. V Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for Financial Statements The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a fair view in accordance with CAS, and for designing, implementing and maintaining such internal control as the management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 133 / 266 Annual Report 2023 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 (if applicable) 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. VI Auditor’s Responsibilities for Audit of Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with CAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with CAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: (I) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. (II) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. (III) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management. (IV) Conclude on the appropriateness of the management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may 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 by CAS to draw users’ 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. (V) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. (VI) Obtain sufficient 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 134 / 266 Annual Report 2023 responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company 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 noteworthy deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that 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.

Foreign currency business and conversion of foreign currency statement √ Applicable □ Not applicable (1) Conversion of foreign currency business At the initial recognition of foreign currency transactions, foreign currency shall be converted into RMB at the approximate exchange rate of the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. On the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are converted at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the exchange difference arising from different exchange rates is recorded in profit and loss of the current period except the exchange difference between the principal and interest of foreign currency special loans related to the purchase and construction of assets eligible for capitalization. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost adopt a similar exchange rate of the spot exchange rate on the transaction date, without changing their RMB amount. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value shall be converted at the spot exchange rate on the date when the fair value is determined, and the difference shall be recorded in the profit and loss of the current period or other comprehensive income. (2) Conversion of foreign currency financial statements Assets and liabilities in the balance sheet shall be converted at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Except for the “undistributed profit” item, other items of owner’s equity items are converted at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date; the income and expense items in the income statement are converted at a similar exchange rate of the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. The differences arising from the above conversion of foreign currency-denominated financial statements shall be recorded in other comprehensive income. 11. Financial instruments √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets are classified into the following three categories when they are initially recognized: (1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost; (2) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; (3) financial assets at fair value through current profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified into the following four categories when they are initially recognized: (1) Financial liabilities at fair value through current profit or loss; (2) financial liabilities arising from the transfer of financial assets not meeting the de-recognition criteria or from the continuing involvement in the transferred assets; (3) financial guarantee contracts which do not fall within the category of (1) or (2) above, and loan commitments which do not fall within category (1) above and made at an interest rate lower than the market rate; (4) financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. 2. Recognition basis, measurement methods and derecognition conditions for financial assets and financial liabilities 163 / 266 Annual Report 2023 (1) Determination basis and measuring methods for financial assets and financial liabilities A financial instrument is recognized as an asset or liability when the Company becomes a party thereto. For financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction expenses are directly included in profit and loss of the current period; for financial assets or financial liabilities in other categories, the transaction expenses are included in the amount initially recognized. However, accounts receivable initially recognized by the Company that do not include a significant financing component or where the Company does not consider the financing component in a contract with a term not exceeding one year will be initially measured at the transaction price defined in Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.14-Income. (2) Subsequent measurement of financial assets 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost by the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from a financial asset measured at amortized cost which does not form part of any hedging relationship are recorded in current profit or loss at the time of de-recognition, reclassification, amortization according to the effective interest method or recognition of impairment. 2) Investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income Such financial assets shall be subsequently measured at fair value. Interest, impairment loss or gain and exchange gain/loss calculated using the effective interest method are recorded in current profit or loss, other gains or losses are recorded in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, cumulative gains or losses that were previously recorded in other comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensive income and recorded in current profit or loss. 3) Investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income Such financial assets shall be subsequently measured at fair value. Dividend received (except for the portion which forms part of investment cost recovered) is recorded in current profit or loss, other gains or losses are recorded in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, cumulative gains or losses that were previously recorded in other comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensive income and recorded in retained earnings. 4) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Gains or losses (including interest income and dividend income) arising from the subsequent measurement at fair value are recorded in current profit or loss, unless the financial asset forms part of a hedging relationship. (3) Method for the subsequent measurement of financial liabilities 1) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss of the current period Such financial liabilities include transactional financial liabilities (including derivative instruments which belong to the category of financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as at fair value through current profit or loss. Such financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value. The amount of changes in the fair value of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which arise from the change in the credit risk of the Company, is recorded in other comprehensive income, 164 / 266 Annual Report 2023 unless such accounting treatment would result in or increase the accounting mismatch of gain and loss. Other gains or losses (including interest expense, except for the fair value changes arising from the change in credit risk of the Company) on such financial liabilities are recorded in current profit or loss, unless such financial liabilities form part of a hedging relationship. On derecognition, cumulative gains or losses that were previously recorded in other comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensive income and recorded in retained earnings. 2) Financial liabilities resulting from the transfer of financial assets which does not satisfy the de- recognition criteria or from the continuing involvement in the transferred assets are measured according to the relevant provisions of the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.23-Transfer of Financial Assets. 3) Financial guarantee contracts that do not fall within the category of 1) or 2) above, and loan commitments that do not fall within the category of 1) above and made at an interest rate lower than the market rate, are subsequently measured at the higher of the two following amounts after initial recognition: ① The amount of loss provision determined according to the rules related to the impairment of financial instruments; ② The remaining balance of the initially recognized amount after deducting the amount of cumulative amortization determined according to relevant rules of the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.14-Income. 4) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost Such financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from a financial liability measured at amortized cost which does not form part of any hedging relationship are recorded in current profit or loss at the time of de-recognition or amortization according to the effective interest method. (4) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities 1) Financial assets are derecognized when any of the following criteria is met: ① The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial assets terminate; or ② The financial asset has been transferred, and such transfer satisfies the criteria set out in the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No.23-Transfer of Financial Assets regarding the de- recognition of financial assets. 2) Where the present obligation of a financial liability (or a portion thereof) has been discharged, the Company de-recognizes the financial liability (or a portion thereof). 3. Recognition basis and measurement method of financial asset transfer If the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is de-recognized, and the right and obligation arising from or retained in the transfer are individually recognized as an asset or liability. If substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are retained, the financial asset transferred remains recognized. If the Company has not transferred or retained nearly all the risks and remunerations of ownership of the credit assets, different measures should be taken in accordance with the following circumstances respectively: (1) If the Company gives up the control of the financial assets, these financial assets shall be derecognized; (2) if the Company 165 / 266 Annual Report 2023 does not give up the control of the financial assets, the relevant financial assets shall be recognized and the relevant liabilities shall be recognized accordingly in accordance with the extent of their continued involvement in the transferred financial assets. If the overall transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognition, the difference between the following two amounts shall be recorded in profit and loss of the current period: (1) The carrying value of the transferred financial asset as of the date of derecognition; (2) Sum of the consideration received for the transfer of the financial asset, and the portion of the cumulative amount of fair value changes previously recorded in other comprehensive income that corresponds with the portion of the asset de-recognized (the transferred financial asset is an investment in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income). Where a portion of the financial asset has been transferred and the transferred portion as a whole satisfies the derecognition criteria, the carrying value of the financial asset as a whole prior to its transfer is allocated between the portion of the asset derecognized and the portion that remains recognized, according to their relative fair value as of the transfer date, and the difference between the two amounts mentioned below is recorded in current profit or loss: (1) The carrying value of the derecognized portion; (2) Sum of the consideration received for the derecognition portion, and the portion of the cumulative amount of fair value changes previously recorded in other comprehensive income, which corresponds with the derecognized portion (the transferred financial asset is an investment in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income). 4. Methods for determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities The Company applies valuation techniques that are applicable in the current situation and are supported by sufficient available data and other information to determine the fair value of relevant financial assets and financial liabilities. The Company classifies the inputs of valuation techniques into the following levels and applies them accordingly: (1) Level 1 inputs are the unadjusted quotation of the same assets or liabilities available on the active market on the measurement day; (2) Level 2 inputs are inputs for the relevant assets or liabilities other than the level 1 inputs, which are directly or indirectly observable, including quotations for similar assets or liabilities in an active market; quotations for the same or similar assets or liabilities in an inactive market; other observable inputs other than quotations, such as interest rate and yield curve observable during normal quotation intervals; and market-tested inputs; (3) Level 3 inputs are non-observable inputs for the relevant assets or liabilities, including interest rate and stock volatility which cannot be directly observed or cannot be verified by observable market data, the future cash flow of a retirement obligation assumed in a business combination, and financial forecast performed based on internal data. 5. Impairment of financial instruments Based on the expected credit loss, for financial assets measured in amortized cost, investment in debt instruments measured at fair value and whose changes are recorded in other comprehensive income, contract assets, lease receivables, loan commitments classified as financial liabilities measured at fair 166 / 266 Annual Report 2023 value and whose changes are recorded in profit and loss of the current period, financial guarantee contracts that do not belong to financial liabilities measured at fair value and whose changes are recorded in the profits and losses of the current period or financial liabilities formed by the transfer of financial assets that do not meet the conditions for derecognition or continue to be involved in the transferred financial assets shall be impaired and loss reserves shall be recognized. Expected credit loss refers to the weighted average of credit loss of financial instruments weighted with default risks. Credit loss refers to the difference between all contractual cash flow receivable by the Company under contracts which are discounted according to the original effective interest rate, and all the cash flow expected to be received, namely the present value of all cash shortfall. Specifically, financial assets acquired or derived to which credit impairment has occurred are discounted by the Company according to the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. For the acquired or derived financial assets with credit impairment, the Company only recognizes the cumulative change of expected credit loss over the lifetime after initial recognition as the loss reserve on the balance sheet date. For lease receivables, receivables and contract assets formed by transactions regulated by Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.14-Income, the Company uses simplified measurement methods to measure the loss reserve according to the expected credit loss amount over the lifetime. For financial assets other than the above measurement methods, at each balance sheet date, the Company assesses the financial assets to see if the credit risk has significantly increased after initial recognition. If the credit risk has significantly increased after initial recognition, the Company calculates provision for loss according to the amount of expected credit loss over the lifetime of the assets; if credit risk has not significantly increased after initial recognition, the Company calculates loss provision based on expected credit loss in the future 12 months. The Company uses available reasonable and well-founded information, including forward-looking information, to determine whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since the initial recognition by comparing the default risk of financial instruments on the balance sheet date with the default risk on the initial recognition date. On the balance sheet date, if the Company judges that the financial instrument only has low credit risk, it is assumed that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since the initial recognition. The Company assesses the expected credit risk and measures the expected credit loss on the basis of single financial instrument or portfolios of financial instruments. When based on the portfolio of financial instruments, the Company classifies the financial instruments into different portfolios according to the common risk characteristics. The Company re-measures expected credit loss at each balance sheet date, and the amount of increase in loss provision or the written-back amount of loss provision arising from re-measurement is recorded in current profit or loss as an impairment loss or gain. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, impairment losses were allocated to offset the carrying value of the financial asset presented in the balance 167 / 266 Annual Report 2023 sheet. For the debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Company recognized its loss reserves in other comprehensive income but did not offset the carrying value of the financial asset. 6. Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities The financial assets and financial liabilities are respectively listed in the balance sheet, not offsetting each other. However, when all the following criteria are met, financial assets and liabilities are shown on a net basis after offsetting: (1) The Company has the statutory right to offset the recognized amounts, and such right is currently enforceable; (2) The Company intends to settle the financial assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. For the transfer of financial assets where the derecognition criteria are not met, the Company may not offset the financial assets transferred against the related liabilities. 12.

Judgment criteria for joint control and significant influence Joint control refers to the control the Company shares with other entities over a certain arrangement following relevant agreements by which any activity under the arrangement may be conducted only with the unanimous agreement of all participants sharing the power of control. Significant influence refers to the power to participate in making decisions on the financial and operating policies of an investee, but not to control or do joint control together with other parties over the formulation of these policies. 2. Determination of investment cost 171 / 266 Annual Report 2023 (1) In case of a business combination under the same control, if the acquirer pays cash, transfers non- cash assets, assumes debts or issues equity securities as merger consideration, the share of the owner’s equity of the acquiree obtained on combination date in the carrying value of the financial statements of the ultimate controlling party is deemed as an initial investment cost. Capital reserve is adjusted based on the difference between initial investment cost of long-term equity investment and carrying value of paid combination consideration or total nominal value of issued share; if the capital reserve is insufficient to offset such difference, the difference will be offset against retained earnings. If business combination under the same control is realized step by step through multiple transactions, whether the multiple transactions is a “Package Deal” is determined. If the deals fell into a "Package Deal", all transactions shall be treated as a transaction to gain control. If it is not a “package deal”, on the combination date, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment shall be determined based on the share of net assets’ carrying value of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party. The capital reserve is adjusted based on the difference between the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment on the combination date and the sum of the carrying value of the long-term equity investment before the acquisition and the carrying value of the new payment consideration on the acquisition date. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset such difference, the difference will be offset against retained earnings. (2) For business combinations not under the same control, the fair value of the combination consideration paid by it on the acquisition date shall be its initial investment cost. For long-term equity investment formed by a business combination achieved step by step through multiple transactions, relevant accounting treatment is performed with distinctions made between separate financial statements and consolidated financial statements: 1) In the separate financial statements, the sum of the fair value of the originally held equity investment and the additional investment cost shall be taken as the initial investment cost when converting to using the cost method. 2) In the consolidated financial statements, it is determined whether it is a “package deal”. If the deals fell into a "Package Deal", all transactions shall be treated as a transaction to gain control. If it is not a “Package Deal”, the equity of the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date shall be re-measured according to the fair value of the equity at the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value and the carrying value shall be recorded in the current investment income. Where the equity of the acquiree held prior to the acquisition date involves other comprehensive income accounted for based on the equity method, etc., the other comprehensive income related to it shall be converted into the current investment income of the acquisition date. However, other comprehensive income arising from the re-measurement of net liabilities or changes in net assets of defined benefit plans by the investee is excluded. (3) Except for business combination: If it is acquired by paying cash, the actual acquisition price shall be taken as its initial investment cost; if it is acquired by issuing equity securities, the fair value of the issued equity securities shall be taken as its initial investment cost; if it is acquired by means of debt restructuring, the initial investment cost shall be determined according to the Accounting Standards for 172 / 266 Annual Report 2023 Business Enterprises No. 12-Debt Restructuring; if it is acquired by exchange of non-monetary assets, the initial investment cost shall be determined according to the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 7-Exchange of Non-monetary Assets. 3. Method for subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss The long-term equity investment controlled by the investee shall be accounted for by the cost method; the long-term equity investment of associated enterprises and joint ventures shall be accounted for by the equity method. 4. Treatment method of investing in subsidiaries until loss of control right step by step through multiple transactions (1) Principles for determining whether or not a transaction is a "package deal" Multiple transactions for disposing of equity investments in subsidiaries until losing control, the Company evaluates whether such step-by-step transactions constitute a "package deal" based on the terms, conditions, disposal prices obtained separately, recipients of the equity sold, disposal methods, and timing of each step of the transactions, taking into consideration their mutual influence. Terms, conditions, and economic effects of transactions that meet one or more of the following criteria typically indicate that the multiple transactions constitute a "package deal": 1) The transactions are concluded simultaneously or considering their mutual influence; 2) The transactions together achieve a complete commercial result; 3) The occurrence of one transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one other transaction; 4) A single transaction is uneconomical but becomes economical when considered together with other transactions. (2) Accounting treatment for transactions that are not "package deals" 1) Separate financial statements For the disposal of long-term equity investments, the difference between the carrying value and the actual price acquired shall be recorded into profit and loss of the current period. For the remaining equity, if it still has a significant impact on the investee or implements joint control with other parties, it shall be accounted for by the equity method; if it is no longer possible to exercise control, joint control or significant influence on the investee, accounting shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22-Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. 2) Consolidated financial statements Before the loss of control right, the difference between the disposal price and the share of net assets is continuously calculated by the subsidiary from the acquisition date or combination date corresponding to the disposal of long-term equity investment shall be adjusted, and the capital reserve (capital premium) shall be adjusted. If the capital premium is insufficient to offset, the retained earnings shall be offset. In case of loss of control over the original subsidiary, the remaining equity shall be re-measured according to its fair value on the date of loss of control. The aggregate of the consideration obtained by disposing of the equity and the fair value of the remaining equity less the portion of the net assets of the 173 / 266 Annual Report 2023 subsidiary that has been measured, as calculated at the original shareholding proportion, from the acquisition date or combination date is recognized in profit and loss of the current period on investments in which the control is lost, and goodwill shall be offset. Other comprehensive income, etc. related to the original subsidiary’s equity investment will be converted into income from investment for the current period when the control is lost. (3) Accounting treatment for transactions that are "package deals" 1) Individual financial statements Each transaction is accounted for as a single disposal of a subsidiary and loss of control. However, any difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the long-term equity investment corresponding to the disposal investment is recognised in other comprehensive income in the individual financial statements, and transferred to the profit or loss of the period when control is lost. 2) Consolidated financial statements The Company treats each transaction as a transaction that disposes of a subsidiary and loses control. However, the difference between each disposal price before losing control and the share of subsidiaries’ net assets corresponding to the disposed investment shall be recognized as other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements, and shall be transferred into the profits and losses of the current period in case of loss of control. 20.

Construction in progress √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Fixed assets shall be recognized when the economic benefits are flowing in and the cost can be measured reliably. The construction in progress is measured according to the actual cost incurred before the construction of the asset reaches its intended serviceable condition. 2. When construction in progress reaches expected serviceable conditions, it will be carried forward into fixed assets based on its actual cost. For those that have reached their intended serviceable status but have not yet completed the settlement, they shall be transferred to fixed assets according to the estimated value, and the original provisional value shall be adjusted according to the actual cost after the final accounts are completed, but the depreciation already accrued shall not be adjusted. Category Standard and timing for transferring construction in progress to fixed assets Buildings and Transferred to fixed assets after completion inspection and fire inspection constructions Machinery Transferred to fixed assets after installation, commissioning, reaching the equipment intended usable state, and passing acceptance Electronic and other Transferred to fixed assets after installation, commissioning, reaching the equipment intended usable state, and passing acceptance 23. Borrowing costs √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Recognition principles for the capitalization of borrowing costs The borrowing costs that have occurred and can be directly attributed to the acquisition, construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization are capitalized by the Company and recorded in relevant cost of assets; other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses based on the amount incurred when they occur, and shall be recorded in profit and loss of current period. 2. Period for capitalization of borrowing costs (1) When all the following conditions are met by the borrowing costs, capitalization will start: 1) asset expenditure has occurred; 2) borrowing costs have occurred; 3) acquisition, construction or production activities have started in order to make the fixed asset be ready for the intended use or sale. (2) If the acquisition, construction or production of an asset eligible for capitalization is continuously suspended for over 3 months for abnormal reasons, capitalization of the borrowing costs shall be suspended; borrowing costs incurred during the suspension shall be recognized as the current expenses until the acquisition, construction or production of the asset is resumed. (3) When the assets with the purchase, construction or production meeting the capitalization 175 / 266 Annual Report 2023 conditions reach the expected available or marketable state, the borrowing cost ceases to be capitalized. 3. Capitalization rate and capitalization amount of borrowing costs For a specifically borrowed fund for the acquisition, construction or production of an asset eligible for capitalization, the amount of interest that shall be capitalized is determined based on the interest expenses incurred in the period when a specifically borrowed fund is obtained (including the amortization of discounts or premiums recognized according to the effective interest method) less any income earned on the unused borrowing fund as a deposit in a bank or as a temporary investment. Where a general borrowing is used for the acquisition, construction and production of an asset eligible for capitalization, the amount of interest that shall be capitalized is determined by multiplying the part of the accumulative asset disbursements in excess of the weighted average asset disbursement for the specifically borrowed fund by the capitalization rate of the general borrowing used. 24. Biological assets □ Applicable √ Not applicable 25. Oil and gas assets □ Applicable √ Not applicable 26. Intangible assets (1) Service life and determination basis, estimation, amortization method or review process √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Intangible assets include land use rights, software, etc., which are initially measured at costs. 2. Intangible assets with limited service life are properly amortized within the service life based on the expected method to realize economic benefits relating to the intangible assets. Where the expected realization method cannot be reliably determined, Straight-line Amortization Method is adopted. The details are as follows: Amortization period Amortization Item (year) method Land use right Duration of land use Straight line method Software 2-5 Straight line method 27. Long-term assets impairment √ Applicable □ Not applicable For long-term equity investments, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets, long- term assets with limited service life and other long-term assets, if there are signs of impairment on the balance sheet date, the recoverable amount shall be estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets with uncertain service life formed by business combinations are tested for impairment every year regardless of whether there are signs of impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment in conjunction with the asset 176 / 266 Annual Report 2023 group or combination of asset groups to which it relates. If the recoverable amount of the above-mentioned long-term assets is lower than its carrying value, the asset impairment reserve shall be recognized according to the difference and recorded in profit and loss of the current period. 28. Long-term prepaid expense √ Applicable □ Not applicable Long-term prepaid expenses are accounted for all expenses that have been paid and have an amortization period of more than one year (excluding one year). The long-term prepaid expenses are accounted for according to the actual amount incurred and are amortized averagely over the benefit period or the specified period. If the long-term deferred expenses item cannot bring benefit in the subsequent accounting period, the amortized value of the item that has not been amortized will be transferred to the profit or loss for the current period. 29. Contract liabilities √ Applicable □ Not applicable The Company presented contract assets or contract liabilities on the balance sheet in accordance with the relationship of performance obligations and customer payment. The Company will set off the contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract and present them in net amount. The right of the Company to receive consideration from its customers unconditionally (i.e. only depending on the passage of time) is presented as receivables, and the right to receive consideration for goods transferred to its customers (depending on factors other than the passage of time) is presented as contract assets. The obligations of transferring goods to customers as a result of the consideration that the Company had received or shall receive from customers were presented as contract liabilities. 30. Employee remuneration (1) Accounting treatment methods of short-term remuneration √ Applicable □ Not applicable Within the accounting period when employees provide service, the actual short-term remuneration shall be recognized as liabilities and be recorded in profit and loss of the current period or relevant asset costs. (2) Accounting treatment method for post-employment benefits √ Applicable □ Not applicable The Company classifies post-employment benefit plans into the defined contribution plan and the defined benefit plan. (1) During the accounting period in which the employees provide services to the Company, the 177 / 266 Annual Report 2023 amount to be contributed as calculated according to the defined contribution plan is recognized as a liability and recorded in the profit or loss for the current period or the related asset costs. (2) The accounting handling of the defined benefit plan usually includes the following steps: 1) Based on the projected unit credit method, related demographic variables and financial variables are estimated by using unbiased and mutually compatible actuarial assumptions, the obligations under the defined benefit plan are measured, and the periods to which relevant obligations are attributed are determined. Meanwhile, the Company will discount the obligations incurred from a defined benefit plan, to determine present value of defined benefit plan and current service cost. 2) The deficit or surplus formed by present value of obligations to the defined benefit plan minus the fair value of assets of the defined benefit plans is recognized as one net liabilities or net profits of the defined benefit plans. If the defined benefit plans have a surplus, the Company shall measure the net profit of the defined benefit plans according to whichever is lower between the surplus and upper limit on the assets of the defined benefit plans. 3) At the end of the period, the employee compensation cost incurred in the defined benefit plan is recognized as service cost, net interest arising from the net liabilities and net assets of the defined benefit plan, and changes in the net liabilities or net assets of the remeasured defined benefit plan. Of which, the net interest arising from the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan is recorded in profit and loss of the current period or related asset cost, and changes in the net liabilities or net assets of the remeasured defined benefit plan are recorded in other comprehensive income, and is not written-back to profits and losses in subsequent accounting periods. But these amounts recognized in other comprehensive income can be transferred within the scope of equity. (3). Accounting treatment method for dismissal benefits √ Applicable □ Not applicable If the Company provides the employee with dismissal benefits, the Company shall recognize the employee remuneration liabilities and record them in profit or loss for the current period on the following dates (whichever is earlier): (1) the date when the Company may not unilaterally withdraw dismissal benefits provided due to termination of labor relationship plans or layoff proposals; (2) the date when the Company recognizes costs or expenses relating to the restructure of payments of dismissal benefits. (4). Accounting treatment method for other long-term employee benefits √ Applicable □ Not applicable If other long-term benefits provided by the Company to employees meet the conditions of the defined contribution plan, accounting treatment shall be carried out according to the relevant provisions of defined contribution plan. Except for that, the other long-term benefits shall be subject to the accounting handling according to the defined benefit plan. To simplify the related accounting treatment, employee compensation cost incurred in the defined benefit plan is recognized as service costs. Net interests of net liabilities or net assets of other long-term employee benefits, as well as the total net amount of changes 178 / 266 Annual Report 2023 caused by re-measurement of net liabilities or net assets of other long-term employee benefits, will be recorded in profit and loss of the current period or the related asset costs. 31. Provisions □ Applicable √ Not applicable 32. Share-based payment √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Category of share-based payment The Company's share-based payment includes equity-settled share-based payment and cash-settled share-based payment. 2. Relevant accounting processing for the implementation, modification, and termination of share- based payment plans (1) Equity-settled share-based payment For an equity-settled share-based payment in return for services of employees, if the right can be exercised immediately after the grant, the fair value of the equity instruments shall, on the grant date, be recorded in the relevant costs or expenses and the capital reserve shall be adjusted accordingly. For an equity-settled share-based payment in return for employee services, if the right cannot be exercised only after completing the service during the vesting period or meeting the prescribed performance conditions, then on each balance sheet date within the vesting period, the services acquired in the current period shall, based on the best estimate of the number of vested equity instruments, be recorded in the relevant costs or expenses at the fair value of the equities instruments on the grant date, and the capital reserve shall be increased accordingly. For an equity-settled share-based payment in return for the service of any other party, if the fair value of the service of any other party can be reliably measured, it shall be measured at the fair value of the service of any other party on the acquisition date; if the fair value of the service of any other party can not be reliably measured, but the fair value of the equity instruments can be reliably measured, it shall be measured at the fair value of the equity instruments on the acquisition date and recorded in the relevant costs or expenses, and the owner's equity shall be increased correspondingly. (2) Cash-settled share payment For a cash-settled share-based payment in return for services of employees, if the right can be exercised immediately after the grant, the fair value of liabilities assumed by the Company shall, on the grant date, be recorded in the relevant costs or expenses and the liabilities shall be increased accordingly. For a cash-settled share-based payment, if the right cannot be exercised only after completing the service during the vesting period or meeting the prescribed performance conditions, on each balance sheet date within the vesting period, the services acquired in the current period shall, based on the best estimate of the information about the vesting right, be recorded in the relevant costs or expenses and the corresponding liabilities at the fair value of the liabilities assumed by the Company. 179 / 266 Annual Report 2023 (3) Modification and termination of share-based payment plans If the modification increases the fair value of the granted equity instruments, the Company shall recognize the increase of the services acquired according to the increase of the fair value of the equity instruments. If the modification increases the number of the granted equity instruments, the Company shall recognize the increased fair value of equity instruments as the increase of the services acquired. If the Company modifies the vesting conditions in a way that is favorable to employees, the Company shall consider the modified vesting conditions when processing vesting conditions. If the modification reduces the fair value of the granted equity instruments, the Company shall continue to recognize the amount of the service acquired based on the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date, and shall not consider the decrease of the fair value of the equity instruments. If the modification reduces the number of equity instruments, the Company shall process equity instruments by reducing some of them as the cancellation of the granted equity instruments. If the vesting conditions are modified in a way that is unfavorable to employees, the Company shall not consider the modified vesting conditions when processing vesting conditions. If the Company cancels the granted equity instruments or settles the granted equity instruments (not including those canceled due to failure to meet vesting conditions) during the vesting period, the cancellation or settlement shall be processed as the vested right and the amount to be recognized within the remaining vesting period originally shall be recognized immediately. 33. Preference shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments □ Applicable √ Not applicable 34. Revenue (1). Accounting policy for recognition and measurement of revenue by type of business √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Principles of revenue recognition On the commencement date of a contract, the Company shall assess the contract, identify each single performance obligation in the contract, and determine that each single performance obligation is satisfied whether within a certain period of time or at a certain point in time. When one of the following conditions is met, it belongs to fulfilling the performance obligation within a certain period of time, otherwise, it belongs to fulfilling the performance obligation at a certain point in time: (1) The customer obtains and consumes the economic benefits brought by the Company's performance while the Company performs the obligation; (2) The customer can control the goods under construction during the performance of the Company; (3) The goods produced during the performance of the Company have irreplaceable uses, and the Company has the right to collect amount for the cumulative performance completed so far during the whole contract period. For the performance obligations performed within a certain period of time, the Company recognizes the revenue according to the performance progress within that period of time. When the performance 180 / 266 Annual Report 2023 progress cannot be reasonably determined, if the cost incurred is expected to be compensated, the revenue shall be recognized according to the amount of the cost incurred until the performance progress can be reasonably determined. For performance obligations performed at a certain point in time, revenue is recognized at the time when the customer obtains control over related goods or services. To decide whether the customer has obtained the control over goods, the Company takes into account the following signs: (1) the enterprise has the present right to collection for the goods, meaning the customer bears the present obligation to payment for the goods; (2) the enterprise has passed the legal title to the goods to the customer, meaning the customer has had the legal title to the goods; (3) the enterprise has transferred the physical possession of the goods to the customer, meaning the customer has had the physical possession of the goods; (4) the enterprise has transferred the major risks and remunerations concerning the title to the goods to the customer, meaning the customer has obtained the major risks and remunerations concerning the title to the goods; (5) the customer has accepted the goods; (6) other signs to show that the customer has obtained the control over the goods. 2. Principles of revenue measurement (1) The Company measures revenue on the basis of the transaction price allocated to each performance obligation. Transaction price is the amount of consideration that the Company is expected to be entitled to receive for transferring goods or services to customers, excluding the amount received on behalf of third parties and the amount expected to be refunded to customers. (2) If there is variable consideration in a contract, the Company shall determine the best estimate of the variable consideration according to the expected value or the most likely amount, but the transaction price including the variable consideration shall not exceed the amount that the cumulative recognized income will most likely not be significantly written-back when the relevant uncertainty is eliminated. (3) If there is a significant financing component in a contract, the Company shall determine the transaction price according to the amount payable in cash when the customer assumes control of the goods or services. The difference between the transaction price and the contract consideration shall be amortized by the effective interest rate method during the contract period. (4) If a contract contains two or more performance obligations, the Company shall allocate the transaction price to each single performance obligation according to the relative proportion of the single selling price of the goods promised by each single performance obligation on the commencement date of the contract. 3. Specific methods for revenue recognition The Company mainly sells adaptors, wall switches and sockets, LED lighting and digital accessories. (1) The specific time points for revenue recognition of various domestic sales methods of the Company 1) Distribution method: Revenue is recognized when the goods are sent to the designated place and the distributor receives the goods. 2) Direct sales: For direct sales by supermarkets and e-commerce, when the customer receives the goods and publishes the information on the quantity and amount of goods received on its supplier platform, 181 / 266 Annual Report 2023 the Company recognizes the revenue when it completes the reconciliation. For sales by opening an online shop on the e-commerce platform, the Company recognizes the revenue when the customer receives the goods and confirms such receipt on the e-commerce platform. For offline direct sales to customers in Shanghai, etc., the Company recognizes the revenue when the goods are delivered to the customer. 3) Consignment method: The Company recognizes the revenue when receiving the consignment list. (2) The Company recognizes its revenue when it has completed the customs declaration formalities and obtained the bill of lading. (2) Different recognition and measurement methods for revenue for different business models adopted in the same type of business □ Applicable √ Not applicable 35. Contract costs √ Applicable □ Not applicable Assets related to contract costs include costs of obtaining a contract and costs to fulfill a contract. The Company recognizes as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract if it expects to recover those costs. The costs of obtaining a contract shall be included in profit or loss if the asset's amortization period is one year or less. If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract are not within the scope of standards related to inventories, fixed assets or intangible assets, etc., the Company shall recognize the costs to fulfill a contract as an asset if all the following criteria are satisfied: 1. The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract, including direct labour, direct materials, manufacturing overhead cost (or a similar cost), costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer under the contract, and other costs that are only related to the contract. 2. The costs enhance the resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future. 3. The costs are expected to be recovered. An asset related to contract costs shall be amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with related goods or services and included in profit or loss. The Company shall make provision for impairment and recognize it as impairment losses on assets to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset related to the contract costs exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates less the costs expected to be incurred. If the remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates minus the costs expected to be incurred is higher than the carrying amount of the asset due to the subsequent changes in the factors of impairment in previous periods, the asset impairment provisions set aside should be reversed and included in profit and loss of the current period. However, the carrying amount of the asset upon the reversal should not exceed the carrying amount of the asset on the reversal date, supposing that impairment provisions are not set aside. 182 / 266 Annual Report 2023 36. Government grants √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Government grants are recognized when all the criteria below are satisfied: (1) The Company is able to satisfy all the conditions attached to such government grant; (2) The Company is able to receive the grants from the government. Government grants were measured at the amount received or receivable if they were monetary assets. Non-monetary government grants were measured at fair value; if the fair value could not be reliably obtained, they were measured at the nominal amount. 2. Judgment basis and accounting treatment method for government grants related to assets Government documents stipulate that government grants used to purchase, build or otherwise form long-term assets are classified as government grants related to assets. If the government documents concerning a government grant do not specify the target of the grant, it should be determined based on the basic conditions that must be met in order to receive the grant, and government grants which are conditional upon a long-term asset acquired, constructed or otherwise formed are classified as asset-related government grants. Government grants related to assets are used to offset carrying value of assets or are recognized as deferred income. If recognized as deferred income, government grants related to assets shall be recorded in the profit and loss in stages in a reasonable and systematic manner within the useful life of the relevant asset. Government grants measured at nominal amount were directly recognized as profit or loss for the current period. If the underlying assets were sold, transferred, scrapped, or damaged before the end of the useful life, the unallocated balance of the relevant deferred income was transferred to the profit or loss for the period of assets disposal. 3. Judgment basis and accounting treatment method for government grants related to income Government grants other than government grants related to assets were classified as government grants related to income. For government grants, including both asset-related parts and income-related parts that are difficult to be distinguished, overall government grants shall be classified as government grants related to income. Government grants related to income shall be recognized as deferred income if they are used to compensate related future expenses or losses and recorded in profit and loss of the current period during the period when relevant expenses are recognized, or shall be recognized as current profit and loss or offset the related costs if they are used to compensate related expenses or losses incurred. 4. Government grants related to daily activities are recognized as other income or used to offset relevant costs according to the substance of business activities. Government grants that are not related to daily activities are recognized as non-operating income and expenses. 5. Accounting method for interest subsidy on policy prime loans (1) If the fiscal system allocated the funds of interest subsidies to the lending bank, and the lending bank provided loans to the Company at a policy prime interest rate, the actual loan amount received by the Company was recognised as the carrying value of the loan, and the relevant borrowing costs were calculated in accordance with the loan principal and the policy prime interest rate. (2) If the fiscal system allocated the funds of interest subsidies to the Company directly, the Company 183 / 266 Annual Report 2023 reduced the corresponding interest subsidies against relevant borrowing costs. 37. Deferred income tax assets/Deferred income tax liabilities √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Based on the difference between the carrying value of assets and liabilities and their tax bases (the difference between the tax base and the carrying value, where tax bases of items that are not recognized as assets and liabilities can be determined according to the tax law), deferred income tax assets or deferred income tax liabilities are recognized in accordance with the applicable tax rates during the expected period in which such assets are to be recovered or such liabilities are to be settled. 2. Deferred income tax assets shall be recognized to the extent of the amount of the taxable income that is likely to be obtained and deducted from deductible temporary difference. On the balance sheet date, if there is conclusive evidence that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to offset the deductible temporary differences in the future, the deferred income tax assets that have not been recognized in the previous accounting period shall be recognized. 3. The Company reviews carrying values of deferred tax assets on the balance sheet date. If it is determined that the Company is not Period likely to obtain adequate taxable income to offset benefits from deferred tax assets, the carrying values of deferred tax assets are written down. Such write-downs are reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income should be available. 4. The current income tax and deferred income tax of the Company shall be recorded in profit and loss of the current period as income tax expenses or incomes, excluding the income taxes incurred in the following circumstances: (1) Business combination; (2) Transactions or events directly recognized in the owner's equity. 5. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are presented in net amount after offsetting when the following conditions are simultaneously met: (1) there is a legal right to settle current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities on a net basis; (2) the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity or are related to different taxable entities, but are not expected to reverse in the future in each of the periods in which the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are material; and the taxable entities involved intend to settle current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities on a net basis. However, in each future period in which the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are reversed, the taxable entity involved intends to either settle the current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities on a net basis or to acquire the assets and settle the liabilities at the same time. 38. Leases √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. The Company as the leasee On the beginning date of the lease term, the Company will recognize the lease with a lease term not exceeding 12 months and excluding the purchase option as a short-term lease. Leases with lower value 184 / 266 Annual Report 2023 when a single leased asset is a brand-new asset are identified as low-value asset leases. If the Company sublets or expects to sublet the leased assets, the original lease shall not be deemed as a low-value asset lease. The Company records the payments of short-term and low-value asset leases incurred during each period of the lease term in the relevant asset costs or the profit or loss for the current period by the straight- line method/workload method. The Company will recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the inception date of the lease term, excluding the above short-term and low-value asset leases. (1) Right-of-use assets Right-of-use assets are initially measured at costs, including: 1) The initial measurement amount of lease liabilities; 2) If there is a lease incentive for the lease payment paid on or before the start date of the lease term, the relevant amount of the lease incentive already enjoyed shall be deducted; 3) Initial direct expenses incurred by the lessee; 4) The expected cost to be borne by the lessee in order to dismantle and remove the assets leased, restore original state of the place where the assets leased are in, or restore the assets leased to the state stipulated in the lease terms. The Company depreciates right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis. If it is reasonably certain that ownership of the leased asset(s) will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the leased asset(s) over its/their remaining service life. If it is not reasonably certain that the ownership of the leasehold property will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the Company will depreciate the leased asset(s) over the lease term or the remaining service life, whichever is shorter. (2) Lease liabilities On the start date of the lease term, the Company recognizes the present value of the outstanding lease payments as lease liabilities. The Company regards the interest rate implicit in lease as the rate of discount when calculating the present value of the lease payment. The incremental lending rate of the lessee will be deemed as the rate of discount, if the interest rate implicit in lease cannot be confirmed. The difference between the lease payment and its present value is regarded as an unrecognized financing expense. Interest expense is recognized at the discount rate of the present value of the recognized lease payment during each period of the lease term and is recorded in the profits and losses of the current period. Variable lease payments that are not recorded in the lease liabilities measurement are recorded in profits and losses of the current period when they are actually incurred. After the start of the lease term, in case of any changes in actual fixed payment amount, the expected payable amount of the guarantee residual value, the index or ratio used to determine the lease payment amount, and the evaluation result or actual exercise of the purchase option, renewal option or termination option, the Company will re-calculate the lease obligation using the present value of the changed lease payment, and adjusts the carrying value of right-of-use assets accordingly. If the carrying value of right- of-use assets has been reduced to zero, while lease liabilities still needs to be further reduced, the remaining amount will be recorded in the profits and losses of the current period. 185 / 266 Annual Report 2023 Judgment criteria and accounting treatments for simplified treatments for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets as lessee □ Applicable √ Not applicable Classification criteria and accounting treatments for leases as lessor √ Applicable □ Not applicable 2. The Company as lessor On the start date of the lease term, the Company divides the lease that substantially transfers almost all risks and rewards related to the ownership of the leased assets into finance leases, except for operating leases. (1) Operating leases The Company recognizes the lease payments receivable as rental earnings in each period within the lease term on a straight-line basis. The initial direct costs related to the operating lease are capitalized, amortized within the lease term on the same basis as the recognition of rental earnings, and included in the profit or loss for the current period. Variable lease payments obtained by the Company in relation to operating leases that are not included in the lease receivable are included in the profit or loss for the current period when they are actually incurred. (2) Finance leases At the commencement date, the Company recognises the finance lease payment receivable based on the net investment in the lease (sum of the present value of unguaranteed residual value and lease receipts that are not received at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease), and derecognises assets held under the finance lease. The Company calculates and recognises interest income using the interest rate implicit in the lease over the lease term. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease are charged as profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred. 3. Sale and leaseback (1) The Company as the lessee The Company assesses whether the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is a sale in accordance with relevant provisions of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Income. If the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is a sale, the Company measures the right-of- use assets formed by the sale and leaseback based on the portion of the original asset's carrying value that is related to the use right acquired by the leaseback, and recognises related gains or losses only for the right transferred to the lessor. If the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is not a sale, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset and at the same time recognises a financial liability equivalent to the transfer income, and conducts corresponding accounting treatment for the financial liability in accordance with 186 / 266 Annual Report 2023 the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. (2) The Company as the lessor The Company assesses whether the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is a sale in accordance with relevant provisions of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Income. If the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is a sale, the Company applies other accounting standards for business enterprises to the accounting treatment for asset purchase, and conducts corresponding accounting treatment for asset lease in accordance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 21 - Leases. If the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is not a sale, the Company does not recognise the transferred asset, but recognises a financial asset equivalent to the transfer income, and conducts corresponding accounting treatment for the financial asset in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. 39. Other important accounting policies and accounting estimation √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Basis for applying hedge accounting, and accounting treatments (1) The hedging relationship is classified into fair value hedge, cash flow hedge and hedge of net investment in foreign operations. (2) For hedging that meets the following conditions, hedging accounting methods are used to deal with it: 1) The hedging relationship is only composed of qualified hedging instruments and hedged instruments; 2) At the beginning of hedging, the Company formally designated hedging instruments and hedged items, and prepared written documents on hedging relationship and risk management strategies and risk management objectives of the Company engaged in hedging; 3) The hedging relationship meets the requirements of hedging effectiveness. When the hedging meets the following conditions at the same time, the Company determines that the hedging relationship meets the requirements of hedging effectiveness: 1) There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; 2) Credit risk does not play a dominant role in the value changes caused by the economic relationship between hedged items and hedging instruments; 3) The hedging ratio of the hedging relationship is equal to the ratio of the number of hedged items actually hedged by the Company to the actual number of hedging instruments, but does not reflect the imbalance of the relative weights of hedged items and hedging instruments. The Company continuously evaluates whether the hedging relationship meets the hedging effectiveness requirements on and after the hedging start date. If the hedging relationship no longer meets the requirements of hedging effectiveness due to the hedging ratio, but the risk management objectives of the designated hedging relationship have not changed, the Company shall rebalance the hedging relationship. (3) Hedging accounting treatment 1) Fair value hedge ① Gain or loss arising from a hedging instrument shall be recorded in profit and loss of the current period. If the hedging instrument is used to hedge a non-trading equity instrument (or a component thereof) 187 / 266 Annual Report 2023 that is chosen to be measured at fair value and whose changes are included in other comprehensive income, the gains or losses arising from the hedging instrument are included in other comprehensive income. ② Gain or loss of a hedged item arising from hedged risk exposure shall be recorded in profit and loss of the current period and meanwhile the carrying value of the hedged item not measured at fair value shall be adjusted. If a hedged item is classified as financial assets (or a component thereof) that are measured at fair value and whose changes are recorded in other comprehensive income according to Article 18 of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.22-Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, its gains or losses due to hedged risk exposure are recorded in profit and loss of the current period, and its carrying value has been measured at fair value and will not be adjusted. If the hedged item is a non-trading equity instrument investment (or a component thereof) that the Company chooses to measure at fair value and its changes are recorded in other comprehensive income, the gains or losses arising from the hedged risk exposure are recorded in other comprehensive income, and its carrying value has been measured at fair value and will not be adjusted. If a hedged item is an unrecognized firm commitment (or a component thereof), the cumulative changes in the fair value arising from hedged risk after the designation of hedging relationship shall be recognized as an asset or liability, and the related gain or loss shall be recorded in profit and loss of the respective periods. In case of acquiring assets or bearing liabilities for performing a firm commitment, the initially recognized amount of the assets or liabilities shall be adjusted to include the cumulative changes in the fair value of the recognized hedged item. If a hedged item is a financial instrument (or a component thereof) at measured amortized cost, the adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged item shall be amortized based on the actual interest rate recalculated on the commencement date of amortization and recorded in profit and loss of the current period. If a hedged item is classified as financial assets (or a component thereof) that are measured at fair value and whose changes are recorded in other comprehensive income according to Article 18 of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.22-Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, cumulative recognized hedging gains or losses are amortized in the same manner and recorded in profit and loss of the current period, but the carrying value of financial assets (or their components) is not adjusted. 2) Cash flow hedge ① The part of the gain or loss of the hedging instrument that belongs to the effective hedging is included in the other comprehensive income as a reserve for cash flow hedges, and the invalid part is included in profit and loss of the current period. The amount of reserve for cash flow hedges is recognized as the absolute amount of the lower of the following two items: A. The cumulative gains or losses of hedging instruments since hedging; B. The cumulative change in the present value of the estimated future cash flows of the hedged item since hedging. ② If a hedged item is a forecast transaction and the forecast transaction leads the Company to subsequently recognize a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, or the forecast transaction of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability forms a recognized commitment to which fair value hedge accounting is applicable, the original amount of reserve for cash flow hedges recognized in other comprehensive income shall be transferred out and recorded in the initially recognized amount of such non-financial asset or non-financial liability. 188 / 266 Annual Report 2023 ③ For other cash flow hedges, the amount of reserve for cash flow hedges originally included in other comprehensive income is transferred out during the same period when the hedged expected transaction affects the profit and loss, and is recorded in the profit and loss of the current profit. 3) Net investment hedge in a foreign operation The part of the gains or losses formed by hedging instruments that belong to effective hedging is recognized as other comprehensive income, and when disposing of foreign operations, it is transferred out and recorded in the profit and loss of the current profit. The part of the gains or losses resulting from hedging instruments that belong to invalid hedging shall be recorded in profit and loss of the current period. 40.

Risks on financial instruments √Applicable□Not applicable The Company is engaged in risk management to achieve balance between risks and returns, minimizing the negative effects of risks on its operation performance and maximizing the interests of its shareholders and other equity investors. Based on that risk management goal, the fundamental strategy of its risk management is to identify and analyse various risks facing the Company, establish an appropriate risk bottom line, carry out risk management and monitor various risks in a timely and reliable manner to control them within a restricted scope. The Company faces various risks related to financial instruments in its routine activities, mainly including credit risk, liquidity risk market risk. The management has reviewed and approved the policies of managing those risks, which are summarised as follows. (I) Credit risk 240 / 266 Annual Report 2023 Credit risk means the risk of financial losses incurred to the other party when one party of a financial instrument is unable to fulfil its obligations. 1. Practices of credit risk management (1) Methods for evaluating credit risk On each balance sheet date, the Company shall evaluate whether the credit risk of relevant financial instruments has increased significantly since the initial recognition. After determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition, the Company shall consider obtaining reasonable and reliable information without paying unnecessary extra costs or efforts, including qualitative and quantitative analysis based on historical data, external credit risk rating and forward-looking information. On the basis of the single financial instrument or combination of financial instruments with similar credit risk characteristics, the Company compares the risk of default of financial instruments on the balance sheet date with the risk of default on the initial recognition date to determine the change of default risk of financial instruments during their expected duration. When one or more of the following quantitative and qualitative criteria prevails, the Company shall believe the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly: 1) The quantitative criteria are mainly that the probability of default in the remaining period at the balance sheet date increases by more than a certain percentage from the time of initial recognition; 2) The qualitative criteria are mainly material adverse changes in the debtor’s operating or financial status, changes in the existing or expected technical, market, economic or legal environment that will have a material adverse impact on the debtor’s ability to repay the Company. (2) Definition of default and asset with credit impairment When a financial instrument meets one or more of the following conditions, the Company shall define the financial asset as having defaulted, and its criteria are consistent with the definition of having incurred credit impairment: 1) The debtor has major financial difficulties; 2) The debtor violates the binding clauses of the contract against the debtor; 3) The debtor is likely to go bankrupt or undergo other financial restructuring; 4) The creditor, out of economic or contractual considerations related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, gives concessions to the debtor which would not have been made in any other circumstances. 2. Measurement of expected credit losses The key parameters for measuring expected credit loss included default probability, loss given default and exposure at default. The Company considered quantitative analysis and forward-looking information of historical statistical data (such as counterparty rating, guarantee method, repayment method, etc.) to establish a model of probability of default, default loss ratio and default risk exposure. 3. For details of the reconciliation statements of opening balance and closing balance of financial instrument loss provision, please refer to “4. Notes receivable”, “5. Accounts receivable”, “6. Receivables financing”, and “8. Other receivables” under “VII Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” of “Part X Financial Statements” herein. 4. Credit risk exposure and credit risk concentrations The Company’s credit risk mainly comes from monetary assets and accounts receivable. To control the aforementioned relevant risks, the Company has adopted the following measures. (1) Monetary assets The Company places the bank deposit and its monetary assets with financial institutions of high credit ratings. Thus, its credit risk is low. (2) Accounts receivable The Company continuously conducted credit assessments for customers who trade on credit lines. Based on the credit assessment result, the Company chooses to trade with recognised customers with good credit and monitor the balance of the accounts receivable from them to ensure that the Company will not face any significant bad debt risk. Due to the Company merely trades with the authorised third party with good credit, the guarantee is not required. Credit risk concentration is managed in accordance with the customers. As at 31 December 2023, there were certain credit concentration risks in the Company, and 41.28% of the accounts receivable of the Company (44.01% on 31 December 2022) came from the top 5 customers by balance. The Company hasn’t held any guarantee or other credit enhancement for accounts receivable and contract assets. The maximum credit risk exposure the Company undertook shall be the carrying value of each financial asset on balance sheet. (II) Liquidity risk 241 / 266 Annual Report 2023 Liquidity risk refers to the risk of fund shortage occurring when the Company fulfils the settlement obligation in the mode of cash delivery or other financial assets. Liquidity risk may originate from the failure to sell financial assets at fair value as soon as possible; or from the other party’s failure to pay off its contractual debts; or from the earlier maturity of debts; or from the failure to generate the expected cash flow.

Market risk mainly includes interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. 1. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments arising from changes in market interest rates. Interest-bearing financial instruments with fixed interest rates may bring the fair value interest rate risk to the Company, while those with floating interest 242 / 266 Annual Report 2023 rate may bring the cash flow interest rate risk to the Company. The Company will determine the proportion between the financial instruments with fixed interest rate and those with floating interest rate in combination with market environment, and maintain an appropriate portfolio of financial instruments through regular review and monitoring. The interest rate risk of cash flows facing the Company is mainly related to the bank loans calculated by floating interest rate of the Company. As at 31 December 2023, the Company had no borrowings with floating income, and the interest rate change would not have a significant influence on the Company’s gross profit and shareholders’ equity. 2. Foreign exchange risk Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk that may lead to the changes of fair value of financial instruments or future cash flows due to fluctuation in exchange rate. The Company operates in mainland China, and the main activities are recorded by RMB. Thus, the foreign exchange market risk undertaken is insignificant for the Company. For details of the Company’s foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the end of the Current Period, please refer to “56. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies” under “VII Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” of “Part X Financial Statements” herein. 2. Hedges (1) The Company conducts hedging operations for risk management □Applicable √Not applicable Other notes: √Applicable □Not applicable The Company used commodity future contracts to hedge the expected bulk-purchase of raw materials of copper and plastic particles to avoid the risk of fluctuations in the future cash flows caused by the fluctuations in the price of raw materials. The Company's specific hedging methods are described below: Expected bulk-purchase of raw materials such as copper and plastic Hedged items particles Hedge instruments Commodity future contracts Commodity future purchase contracts locked in changes of price in Hedging method expected raw materials bulk-purchase contract Both the hedging instruments (commodity futures contracts) and the hedged items (expected bulk- purchase of raw materials) are based on variables such as copper and plastic prices. The Company, guided by the Group Purchasing Decision Committee and based on actual raw material demand for production, conducts hedging to safeguard against price fluctuations effectively. The aforementioned hedging is highly effective. Cash flow hedging is adopted for such hedging activities. Additionally, the Company, in accordance with its risk management strategy, hedges certain raw materials such as silver, aluminium, and tin. However, due to factors such as quantity conversion, the hedging may not be highly effective after futures closing, resulting in ineffective hedging portions being included in investment income. As of 31 December 2023, the amount of futures margin occupied by the Company reported under other monetary funds was RMB40,681,592.44. The commodity futures contracts purchased by the Company were reported under derivative financial assets, with a fair value of RMB8,263,755.00 at the end of the period. The Company recognised pre-tax gains from fair value changes of cash flow hedging instruments included in other comprehensive income of RMB14,235,257.77, which is expected to gradually transfer to the Company's profit and loss statement during subsequent raw material procurement periods. 243 / 266 Annual Report 2023 In 2023, due to hedging, the Company recognised operating costs of RMB7,739,285.00 in the profit and loss statement, and ineffective hedging of silver, aluminium, and tin accounted for RMB7,786,015.00 in investment income.
