Accounting treatment of business combination under or not under common control √Applicable □Not applicable 1. Accounting treatment of business combination under common control The assets and liabilities acquired by the Company through business combination are measured at the carrying value of the combined party in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the combination date. The Company adjusts the capital reserve in accordance with the difference between the carrying value share of the owner’s equity of the combined party in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party and the carrying value of the consideration paid for 119 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 the business combination or the total nominal value of the issued shares. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to offset the difference, the retained earnings will be adjusted. 2. Accounting treatment of business combination not under common control Where the cost of combination is higher than the fair value share of the net identifiable assets acquired from the acquiree in the combination on the acquisition date, the Company recognizes such difference as goodwill. Where the cost of combination is lower than the fair value share of the net identifiable assets acquired from the acquiree in the combination on the acquisition date, the measurement of the acquired fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities, as well as the cost of combination shall be rechecked. If the cost of combination remains lower than the fair value share of the net identifiable assets acquired from the acquiree in the combination after the recheck, the difference shall be included in current profit or loss. 7. Criteria for judgment of control and preparation of consolidated financial statements √Applicable □Not applicable 1. Judgment of control Control is having the power over the invested party, enjoying variable returns through participating in related activities of the invested party, and having the ability to use the power over the invested party to influence its variable return amount. 2. Preparation of consolidated financial statements (1) The parent company incorporates all subsidiaries under its control into the consolidation scope of the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements are based on the financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries, and prepared by the parent company in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 33 - Consolidated Financial Statements. (2) Accounting treatment of acquisition and disposal of or disposal and acquisition of equity of the same subsidiary in two consecutive accounting years The acquisition of the equity of the acquiree is to control its operating and financial policies and to obtain long-term benefits from its operating activities. When the right to control the acquiree is acquired, it is included in the consolidation scope of the consolidated financial statements. Due to changes in the Company's business plans and arrangements, if the equity of the acquiree is disposed of in the second fiscal year to the point of losing control over it, the acquiree will be excluded from the consolidation scope of the consolidated financial statements when the control is lost. 8. Classification of joint arrangement and accounting treatment for joint operation √Applicable □Not applicable 1. Joint arrangement can be divided into joint operation and joint venture. 2. When the Company is involved in a joint operation, the following items related to the share of interest in joint operation are recognized: (1) The solely-held assets, and jointly owned assets according to the shareholding; (2) The solely-assumed liabilities, and jointly undertaken liabilities according to the shareholding; (3) Income incurred from disposing of the Company's share of output under the joint operation; (4) Income incurred from disposing of assets of joint operation according to the Company's share; (5) The solely-incurred expenses, and expenses incurred from joint operation according to the Company's share. 120 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 9. Standards for determination of cash and cash equivalents Cash presented in the cash flow statement refers to cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalents refer to the short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 10. Foreign currency transactions and translation of foreign-currency statements √Applicable □Not applicable 1. Translation of foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB at the approximate rate of the spot rate on the transaction date during initial recognition. On the balance sheet date, the foreign currency monetary items are translated based on the spot rate on the balance sheet date. The exchange difference arising from the different exchange rate is included in current profit or loss, except the exchange difference between the principal and interest of the foreign currency borrowed for meeting the capitalization requirements. The foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are also translated based on the approximate rate of the spot rate on the transaction date, and the RMB amount is not changed. The foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated based on the spot rate on the determination date of the fair value, and the difference is included in current profit or loss or other comprehensive income. 2. Translation of foreign currency financial statements Assets and liabilities items in the balance sheet are translated at the spot rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Owners' equity items other than “undistributed profits” are translated at the spot rates on the transaction dates. Income and expense items in the income statement are translated at the approximate rates of the spot rates on the transaction dates. Any balance incurred from the translation of foreign currency financial statements by the above method is included 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 during initial recognition: (1) financial assets measured at amortized cost; (2) financial assets measured at fair value with changes included in other comprehensive income; (3) financial assets measured at fair value with changes included in current profit or loss. Financial liabilities are divided into the following four categories during initial recognition: (1) financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes included in current profit or loss; (2) financial liabilities from failure of transfer of financial assets to meet the derecognition conditions or continued involvement in transferred financial assets; (3) financial guarantee contracts not belonging (1) or (2) above, and loan commitments that are given at a rate lower than the market interest rate, and not in the case described in (1) above; (4) financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. 2. Recognition basis, measurement method and derecognition conditions for financial assets and financial liabilities (1) Recognition basis and initial measurement method for financial assets and financial liabilities One financial asset or financial liability is recognized when the Company becomes one party of a financial instrument contract. The financial assets or financial liabilities are measured at the fair value during initial recognition. For financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes included in current profit or loss, relevant transaction expenses are directly included in current 121 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 profit or loss; for other kinds of financial assets or financial liabilities, relevant transaction expenses are included in the amount of initial recognition. However, where the accounts receivable initially recognized by the Company do not contain a significant financing component or the Company does not consider the financing component in the contract of less than one year, the initial measurement is made according to the transaction price defined in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue. (2) Subsequent measurement of financial assets 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost Such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The gains and losses incurred by the financial assets measured at amortized cost but not belonging to any hedging relationship are included in current profit or loss during derecognition, reclassification and amortization according to the effective interest method or impairment recognition. 2) Debt instrument investment measured at fair value with changes included in other comprehensive income The method of subsequent measurement at the fair value is adopted. The interest, impairment losses or gains, and exchange gains and losses based on the effective interest method are included in current profit or loss, and other gains or losses are included in other comprehensive income. During derecognition, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensive income to the current profit or loss. 3) Equity instrument investment measured at fair value with changes included in other comprehensive income The method of subsequent measurement at the fair value is adopted. The dividends obtained (except for the part from investment cost recovery) shall be included in current profit or loss, and other gains or losses are included in other comprehensive income. During derecognition, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensive income and included in retained earnings. 4) Financial assets measured at fair value with changes included in current profit or loss Such financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The generated gains or losses (including interest and dividend income) are included in current profit or loss, unless the financial assets belong to part of a hedging relationship. (3) Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities 1) Financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes included in current profit or loss Such financial liabilities include financial liabilities held for trading (including derivative instruments belonging to financial liabilities) and those designated as financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes included in current profit or loss. For such financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value. The fair value changes of financial liabilities measured at fair value with change included in current profit or loss due to an adjustment in the Company's own credit risk are included in other comprehensive income, unless the treatment will cause or enlarge the accounting mismatch in the profit or loss. Other gains or losses generated from such financial liabilities (including interest expense, except the fair value changes arising from the credit risk adjustment of the Company) shall be included in current profit or loss, unless the financial liabilities belong to part of the hedging relationship. During derecognition, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensive income and included in retained earnings. 2) Financial liabilities from failure of transfer of financial assets to meet the derecognition conditions or continued involvement in transferred financial assets 122 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 Measurement shall be performed in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 23 - Transfer of Financial Assets. 3) Financial guarantee contracts not belonging to 1) or 2) above, and loan commitments that are given at a rate lower than the market interest rate, and not in the case described in 1) above The subsequent measurement is made at the higher one of the following two amounts, after initial recognition: ① loss provisions determined according to regulations on impairment of financial instruments; ② balance of the initially recognized amount after deducting cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with the regulations set out in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue. 4) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost Such financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The gains and losses incurred by the financial liabilities measured at amortized cost but not belonging to any hedging relationship are included in current profit or loss during derecognition or amortization in accordance with the effective interest method. (4) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities 1) Financial assets satisfying one of the following conditions are derecognized: ① The contract right to collect cash flow from the financial assets has been terminated; ② The financial assets have been transferred and such transfer meets the provisions for derecognition of financial assets in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 23 - Transfer of Financial Assets. 2) When the existing obligations under the financial liabilities (or part thereof) are released, such financial liabilities (or that part thereof) are derecognized. 3. Recognition basis and measurement method for transfer of financial assets If the Company has transferred almost all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of financial assets, the financial assets are derecognized, and the rights and obligations resulting from or retained in the transfer are separately recognized as assets or liabilities. In case that almost all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial assets are retained, the recognition of the transferred financial assets is continued. In the case that almost all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial assets are neither transferred nor retained, it shall be treated as follows: (1) if control over the financial assets is not retained, the financial assets shall be derecognized, and the rights and obligations resulting from or retained in the transfer are separately recognized as the assets or liabilities; (2) if control over the financial assets is retained, the relevant financial assets are recognized according to the degree of continued involvement in the transferred financial assets, and the relevant liabilities are recognized accordingly. If the transfer of an entire financial asset satisfies the conditions for derecognition, the difference between the two amounts below shall be included in current profit or loss: (1) carrying value of the transferred financial assets at the date of derecognition; (2) the sum of consideration received for the transfer of the financial asset, plus the corresponding derecognized portion of accumulated change in fair value previously included in other comprehensive income (in cases where the transferred financial asset is debt instrument investment measured at fair value with changes included in other comprehensive income). If part of the financial asset is transferred and the transfer satisfies the conditions for derecognition, the overall carrying value before the transfer of the financial asset is allocated according to their respective relative fair value at the transfer date between the portion of the derecognized part and the remaining part, and the difference between the two amounts below is included in current profit or loss: (1) carrying value of the derecognized part; (2) the sum of consideration for the derecognized part, plus the corresponding derecognized part of accumulated change in fair value previously included in 123 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 other comprehensive income (in cases where the transferred financial assets are debt instrument investments measured at fair value with changes included in other comprehensive income). 4. Method of determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities The Company adopts valuation techniques appropriate to the prevailing circumstances with the support of sufficient data and other information available, to determine the fair value of relevant financial assets and financial liabilities. The Company divides the inputs for the estimation technique into the following levels and uses them in turn: (1) The input of the first level is the unadjusted quotation of the same assets or liabilities that can be obtained on the measurement date in the active market; (2) The input of the second level is the directly or indirectly observable input of related assets or liabilities except the input of the first level, including: the quotation of similar assets or liabilities in an active market; the quotation of the same or similar assets or liabilities in an inactive market; other observable inputs other than quotation, such as the interest rate and yield curves that can be observed during the normal quotation intervals; and the inputs for market validation; (3) The input of the third level is the unobservable input of related assets or liabilities, including interest rates that cannot be observed directly or cannot be verified according to observable market data, stock volatility, future cash flows of retirement obligations borne during the business combination, and financial forecasts based on its own data. 5. Impairment of financial instruments Based on the expected credit loss, the Company carries out accounting treatment for impairment and recognizes the loss provision for the financial assets measured at amortized cost, the debt instrument investment measured at fair value with changes included in other comprehensive income, contract assets, lease receivables, loan commitment other than financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes included in current profit or loss, and the financial guarantee contracts of financial liabilities not measured at fair value with changes included in current profit or loss or financial liabilities not from failure of transfer of financial assets to meet the derecognition conditions or continued involvement in transferred financial assets. Expected credit loss refers to the weighted average of credit losses of financial instruments weighted by the risk of default. Credit loss refers to the balance between all contractual cash flows discounted according to the original effective interest rate and receivables under contract by the Company and all cash flows expected to be collected, i.e. the present value of all cash shortages. In particular, the purchased or underlying financial assets of the Company with credit impairment incurred shall be discounted according to their effective interest rate upon credit adjustment. For purchased or underlying financial assets with credit impairment incurred, only the accumulative changes in the expected credit loss in the whole duration after initial recognition shall be recognized by the Company as loss provision on the balance sheet date. For lease receivables, receivables and contract assets from transactions in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue, excluding significant financing components or without consideration, by the Company, to financing components in the contract of no more than one year, the Company measures the loss provision according to the amount equal to the expected credit loss in the whole duration by applying the simplified measurement method. For receivables and contract assets from transactions in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue, excluding significant financing components or without consideration, by the Company, to financing components in the contract of no more than one year, the Company measures the loss provision according to the amount equal to the expected credit loss in the whole duration by applying the simplified measurement method. 124 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 For financial assets other than the above measurement methods, the Company shall, on each balance sheet date, assess whether their credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition, the Company will measure the loss provision based on the amount of expected credit loss in the whole duration; if the credit risk has not significantly increased since the initial recognition, the Company will measure the loss provision based on the amount of expected credit loss for the financial instruments in the next 12 months. The Company determines whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition by utilizing the available, reasonable and well-grounded information, including forward-looking information, and comparing the default risks of the financial instruments on the balance sheet date and on the initial recognition date. If the Company determines that the financial instruments bear a low credit risk on the balance sheet date, it assumes that the credit risk of the financial instruments has not increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company evaluates the expected credit risk and measures the expected credit loss based on single financial instruments or portfolio of financial instruments. When based on the portfolio of financial instruments, the Company divides financial instruments into different portfolios on the basis of their common risk characteristics. The Company re-measures the expected credit loss on each balance sheet date, and the increased or reversed amount of the loss provision arising therefrom, as losses or gains from impairment, shall be included in current profit or loss. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, the loss provision deducts the carrying value of the financial assets listed in the balance sheet; for the debt investment measured at fair value with changes included in other comprehensive income, the Company recognizes its loss provision in other comprehensive income without deducting the carrying value of the financial assets. Recognition criteria and accrual methods for expected credit losses on receivables and contract assets: 1) Receivables and contract assets with expected credit losses accrued based on the portfolio of credit risk characteristics Basis for Method for measurement of expected credit Portfolio category determining the loss portfolio Calculating the expected credit loss by the default risk exposure and the expected credit Bank acceptance notes loss rate in the whole duration by referring to Note type receivable historical experience in credit loss and according to the current situation and the forecast on future economic conditions Calculating the expected credit loss by preparing a comparison table between age of accounts receivable and expected credit loss Accounts receivable - aging Account age rate in referring to historical experience in portfolio credit loss and according to the current situation and the forecast on future economic conditions Other receivables - aging Calculating the expected credit loss by Account age portfolio preparing a comparison table between age of 125 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 Basis for Method for measurement of expected credit Portfolio category determining the loss portfolio other receivables and expected credit loss rate in referring to historical experience in credit loss and according to the current situation and the forecast on future economic conditions 2) Comparison table between age of aging portfolio and expected credit loss rate Expected credit loss rate of Expected credit loss rate of Account age accounts receivable other receivables (%) (%) Within 1 year (inclusive, same for below) 5.00 5.00 1-2 years 30.00 30.00 2-3 years 50.00 50.00 Above 3 years 100.00 100.00 The aging of accounts receivable/other receivables is calculated from the month in which the amounts are actually incurred. 3) Criteria for identifying receivables and contract assets for which expected credit losses are accrued on an individual basis For receivables and contract assets with significantly different credit risk and credit risk portfolio, the Company accrues expected credit losses on an individual basis. 6. Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities The financial assets and financial liabilities are listed in the balance sheet respectively without offsetting. However, when the following conditions are met, the financial assets and liabilities are presented at the net amount after mutual offset in the balance sheet: (1) the Company has the legal right of offsetting the recognized amount and such legal right is currently enforceable; (2) the Company plans to settle by net amount or simultaneously realize the financial assets and clear off the financial liabilities. When the financial assets that do not meet the derecognition conditions are transferred, the Company does not offset the transferred financial assets with the relevant liabilities. 12.

Long-term equity investments √Applicable □Not applicable 1. Joint control and significant influence criterion Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement. It exists only when decisions about the relevant activities of the arrangement require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Significant influence refers to the power to participate in the decision-making process on the financial and operating policies of the investee. It cannot control or jointly control the formulation of such policies with other parties. 2. Determination of investment cost 129 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 (1) For business combination under common control: where the merging party pays cash, transfers non-cash assets, bears debts or issues equity securities as consideration of the combination, the initial investment cost is the share with reference to the carrying value of the owners' equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party on the date of combination. The difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment and the carrying value of the consideration paid for the combination or total nominal value of the issued shares is adjusted to capital reserve. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to offset the difference, the retained earnings are adjusted. The Company judges whether the item is a “package deal” via long-term equity investment formed by business combination under common control through multiple transactions. For the “package deal”, multiple deals are subject to accounting treatment as one deal with control rights having been acquired. For items that do not belong to the “package deal”, the initial investment cost is determined on the basis of the share with reference to the carrying value of the net assets of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party after combination on the date of combination. The difference between initial investment cost of long-term equity investment at the date of combination and the sum of the carrying amount of long-term equity investment before combination and carrying value of newly paid consideration for additional shares acquired on the date of combination is to adjust capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset the difference, the retained earnings are adjusted. (2) For the business combination not under common control, the fair value of consideration paid for combination is regarded as the initial investment cost on the acquisition date. For the long-term equity investment achieved by the Company via business combination not under common control through several transactions, the relevant accounting treatment is based on individual financial statements or consolidated financial statements: 1) In individual financial statements, the initial investment cost calculated by the cost method instead is the sum of the carrying value of the equity investment originally held and the newly increased investment cost. 2) In the consolidated financial statements, the item is determined whether it is a “package deal”. For the “package deal”, multiple deals are subject to accounting treatment as one deal with control rights having been acquired. For items that do not belong to the “package deal”, the equity of the acquiree held before the acquisition date is re-measured at the fair value of this equity on the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value and its carrying value is included in the current investment income. If the equity of the acquiree held before the acquisition date is related to other comprehensive income under the equity method, the other related comprehensive income is converted into the current income on the acquisition date, excluding the other comprehensive income derived from changes of net liabilities or net assets due to re-measurement on defined benefit plan by the investee. (3) For cases other than business combination: if it is acquired with cash, the initial investment cost shall be the actual payment. If it is acquired through issuing equity securities, the initial investment cost is the fair value of the equity securities in issue. If it is acquired through debt restructuring, the initial investment cost is determined based on the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 12 - Debt Restructuring. If it is acquired through the exchange of non-monetary assets, the initial investment cost is determined based on the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 7 - Exchange of Non-monetary Assets. 3. Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss For long-term equity investment controlled by the investee, the cost method is adopted for accounting. For the long-term equity investment of associates and joint ventures, the equity method is adopted for accounting. 130 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 4. Treatment of step-by-step disposal through several transactions until the loss of control of investment in subsidiaries (1) Principles for determining whether a transaction is a “package deal” In the event of a step-by-step disposal of equity investments in subsidiaries through several transactions until the loss of control, the Company determines whether the step-by-step transaction is a “package deal” by taking into account the terms of the transaction agreement for each step of the step-by-step transaction, the disposal consideration obtained, the object of the disposal, the method of disposal, and the point of time of the disposal, among other information. The terms, conditions and economic effects of individual transactions generally indicate that multiple transactions are a “package deal” when one or more of the following conditions are met: 1) These transactions were entered into simultaneously or after considering the effects of each other; 2) These transactions constituted a complete commercial result as a whole; 3) One transaction was conditional upon at least one of the other transaction; 4) One transaction was not economical on its own but was economical when considering together with other transactions. (2) Accounting treatment that is not a “package deal” 1) Individual financial statements For disposal of equity, the difference between the carrying value and the consideration actually received is included in current profit or loss. The accounting of remaining equity is completed by the equity method in case of significant influence on the investee or implementation of joint control with other parties. However, in case of no control, joint control or significant influence on the investee, the accounting of remaining equity must comply with the relevant provisions of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. 2) Consolidated financial statements Before the loss of control, the difference between the price of disposal and the subsidiary's share of net assets entitled from the disposal of long-term equity investment cumulatively calculated from the acquisition date or the date of merger, is adjusted to capital reserve (capital premium). If the capital premium is insufficient to offset the difference, the retained earnings are adjusted. When control over the original subsidiary is lost, the remaining equity is re-measured at fair value as at the date on which the control is lost. The difference between the sum of the consideration received from equity disposal and the fair value of the remaining equity minus the share of the net assets of the original subsidiary proportionate to the original shareholding accumulated from the date of acquisition or merger is included in investment gains of the period during which the control is lost, and meanwhile, the goodwill is offset. Other comprehensive income related to the equity investment in the original subsidiary is transferred to investment gains of the period during which the control is lost. (3) Accounting treatment belonging to “package deal” 1) Individual financial statements Accounting treatment is made by taking each transaction as one transaction disposing the subsidiary and losing the control right. However, the difference between the amount received each time for disposal before the control is lost and the carrying value of the long-term equity investment corresponding to the disposal of investment is recognized as other comprehensive income in the individual financial statements, and is transferred to profit or loss of the period during which the control is lost upon loss of control. 2) Consolidated financial statements Accounting treatment is made by taking each transaction as one transaction disposing the subsidiary and losing the control right. However, the difference between the amount received each time for disposal 131 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 before the control is lost and the net assets of said subsidiary corresponding to the disposal of investment is recognized as other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements, and is transferred to profit or loss of the period during which the control is lost upon loss of control. 20. Investment property (1). In case of cost measurement model: Depreciation or amortization method 1. Investment property includes leased land use rights, land use rights held for transfer upon appreciation, and rental buildings. 2. The cost method is employed for initial measurement of investment property, and cost model for subsequent measurement. Depreciation or amortization shall be withdrawn using the same method as that for fixed assets and intangible assets. 21. Fixed assets (1).

Construction in progress is measured at the actual cost incurred to make the assets ready for their intended use. 2. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets at the actual cost when it meets the expected condition for service. When construction in progress has achieved serviceable conditions but final 132 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 settlement has not been finished yet, it is first transferred to fixed assets as per estimated value. After final settlement is finished, the estimated value is adjusted based on actual cost, but the depreciated amount will not be adjusted. Standards and timings for converting construction in progress to fixed Category assets Meet the design requirements or the standards stipulated in the contract Dedicated equipment after installation and commissioning When the physical construction has been fully completed or substantially Houses and buildings completed and can be put into use 23. Borrowing costs √Applicable □Not applicable 1. Criteria for recognition of capitalized borrowing costs For borrowing costs incurred by the Company that are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction or production of assets qualified for capitalization, the costs will be capitalized and included in the costs of the related assets. Other borrowing costs shall be recognized as expenses as they are incurred and are included in current profit or loss. 2. Capitalization period of borrowing costs (1) Capitalization of borrowing costs begins when the following three conditions are fully satisfied: 1) expenditures for the assets have been incurred; 2) borrowing costs have been incurred; 3) acquisition and construction or production that are necessary to make the assets ready for the intended use or sale have begun. (2) Where abnormal interruption of the assets eligible for capitalization occurs during the acquisition and construction or production process and such interruption has lasted for more than 3 consecutive months, the capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended; the borrowing costs during the interruption are recognized as expenses of the current period till resumption of acquisition and construction or production of the assets. (3) Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the asset qualified for capitalization under acquisition and construction or production is ready for the intended use or sale. 3. Capitalization rate and amount of borrowing costs In case of special borrowing for the acquisition and construction or production of assets meeting the capitalization conditions, the interest amount to be capitalized is recognized after deducting interest income earned from the deposits or investment income from the temporary investment funded by the unused borrowing balance (including recognized depreciation or amortization of premium under effective interest method) actually incurred in the current period of specific borrowing; for general borrowing occupied for the acquisition and construction or production of assets meeting the capitalization conditions, the interest amount to be capitalized shall be determined by the result obtained by multiplying the capitalization rate of occupied general borrowing with the weighted average value of the asset expenditure for the accumulated expenditure exceeding the specific borrowing portion. 24. Biological assets □Applicable √Not applicable 133 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 25. Oil and gas assets □Applicable √Not applicable 26. Intangible assets (1). Useful life and the basis for its determination, estimation, amortization methods or review procedures √Applicable □Not applicable 1. Intangible assets, including land use rights, patent rights and non-patented technologies, are initially measured at cost. 2. Intangible assets with limited useful life are amortized systematically and reasonably over their useful life in accordance with the expected realization method of the economic benefits related to the intangible assets. If the expected realization method cannot be reliably determined, the straight-line method is used for amortization. The specific information is shown as below: Determination basis of Item Useful life (year) Amortization method useful life Land use rights 40 or 50 Estimated useful life Straight-line method Non-patented 5 Estimated useful life Straight-line method technologies Office software 3-10 Estimated useful life Straight-line method Patent right 5 Estimated useful life Straight-line method Customer 3 Estimated income life Straight-line method resources Trademark rights 10 Estimated useful life Straight-line method (2).

If R&D personnel serve multiple R&D projects at the same time, the labor costs are allocated proportionally among different R&D projects based on the working hour records of R&D personnel of various R&D projects provided by the management department of the Company. If the personnel directly engaged in R&D activities and external R&D personnel are also engaged in non-R&D activities, the Company will allocate the actual labor costs between R&D expenses and production & operation expenses by adopting reasonable methods such as the proportion of actual working hours based on the working hour records of R&D personnel at different positions. (2) Direct input cost Direct input costs refer to the relevant expenses actually incurred by the Company for the implementation of R&D activities, including: 1) costs of directly consumed materials, fuel and power; 2) 134 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 development and manufacturing expenses of molds and process equipment used for intermediate tests and product trial production, purchase expenses of samples, prototypes and general testing means which do not constitute fixed assets, and inspection expenses of trial production products; 3) expenses for operation, maintenance, adjustment, inspection, testing and repair of instruments and equipment used for R&D activities.

Impairment of long-term assets √Applicable □Not applicable For such long-term assets as long-term equity investment, investment properties measured by the cost model, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets and intangible assets with limited useful 135 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 life, in case that there are signs indicating impairment on the balance sheet date, the recoverable amount shall be estimated. Whether there is a sign of impairment or not, the goodwill acquired in the business combination and intangible assets with indefinite useful life is tested for impairment each year. The impairment test on goodwill is carried out in combination with its related asset group or asset group portfolio. In case the recoverable amount of the above long-term assets is less than its carrying value, the provision for asset impairment is recognized according to its differences and included in current profit or loss. 28. Long-term deferred expenses √Applicable □Not applicable The long-term deferred expenses involve all expenses already paid with amortization period of more than 1 year (excluding 1 year). Long-term deferred expenses are recorded at the actual amount incurred and are amortized equally over the period of benefit or over a specified period. If the long-term deferred expenses cannot provide benefit to future accounting periods, then all of the amortized value of the unamortized long-term deferred expenses are transferred into current profit or loss. 29. Contract liabilities √Applicable □Not applicable The Company recognizes the obligation to transfer goods to customers for the consideration received or receivable from the customers as contract liabilities. 30. Employee remuneration (1). Accounting treatment for short-term remuneration √Applicable □Not applicable During the accounting period when employees provide service for the Company, the short-term remuneration actually incurred will be recognized as liabilities, and will be included in current profit or loss or the costs of the related assets. (2). Accounting treatment for post-employment benefits √Applicable □Not applicable Post-employment benefits are divided into the defined contribution plan and defined benefit plan. (1) During the accounting period when employees provide service for the Company, the amount to be deposited as calculated according to the defined contribution plan shall be recognized as liabilities, and will be included in current profit or loss or the costs of the related assets. (2) The accounting treatment for the defined benefit plan generally comprises the following steps: 1) According to the expected cumulative benefit unit method, the demographic variables, financial variables, etc. shall be estimated through unbiased and mutually consistent actuarial assumption, so as to measure the obligations arising from the defined benefit plan and determine the period of relevant obligations. In addition, the obligations generated from the defined benefit plan shall be discounted, so as to determine the present value of defined benefit plan obligations and current service cost; 2) In case of assets in the defined benefit plan, the deficit or surplus generated from the present value of obligations of the defined benefit plan minus the fair value of the assets of defined benefit plan is recognized as net liabilities or net assets in the defined benefit plan. When the defined benefit plan has a 136 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 surplus, the net assets of the defined benefit plan are measured at the lower of the surplus of the defined benefit plan and the asset caps; 3) At the end of the period, the employee remuneration costs generated by the defined benefit plan are recognized as three parts, i.e., service costs, net interest of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan, and the changes generated by re-measurement of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan, in which the service costs and the net interest of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan are included in current profit or loss or the costs of the related assets, and the changes generated by re-measurement of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan are included in other comprehensive income, and cannot be reversed to profit or loss in the subsequent accounting period. However, the amount recognized in other comprehensive income can be transferred within the equity scope. (3). Accounting treatment for termination benefits √Applicable □Not applicable If termination benefits are provided to employees, the employee remuneration liabilities arising from the termination benefits are recognized on the earlier date of the following and included in current profit or loss: (1) when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the termination benefits provided due to termination of labor relation plan or layoff proposal; (2) when the Company recognizes the cost or expenses related to the restructuring involving payment of termination benefits. (4). Accounting treatment for other long-term employees' benefits √Applicable □Not applicable Other long-term employee benefits satisfying the conditions in the defined contribution plan are treated in accounting as stipulated in the defined contribution plan; and other long-term benefits beyond that are treated in accounting as stipulated in the defined contribution plan. In order to simplify related accounting treatment, the generated employee remuneration costs are recognized as the service cost. The total net amount of item composed of the net interest of net liabilities or net assets of other long-term employee benefits and the changes generated from re-measuring net liabilities or net assets of other long-term employee benefits is included in current profit or loss or the costs of the related assets. 31. Estimated liabilities √Applicable □Not applicable 1. The obligations imposed by contingencies, such as providing external guarantee, lawsuits, product quality assurance and onerous contracts, become the current obligations assumed by the Company, which are determined by the Company as estimated liabilities when their performance is very likely to result in economic benefit outflow from the Company and their amount can be measured reliably. 2. The estimated liabilities are initially measured by the Company based on the optimal estimate to be paid for performing relevant current obligations and their carrying value are reviewed on the balance sheet date. 32. Share-based payments √Applicable □Not applicable 1. Types of share-based payments There are equity-settled and cash-settled share-based payments. 137 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 2. Relevant accounting treatment of implementing, modifying and terminating the share-based payment scheme (1) Equity-settled share-based payments These equity-settled share-based payments vested immediately after the grant date and exchanged for employee services shall be included in relevant costs or expenses as per the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date, and the capital reserve shall be adjusted accordingly. For equity-settled share-based payments that are vested only after the services within the waiting period are completed or the specified performance conditions are satisfied and that are exchanged for employee services, the services acquired in the current period are included in relevant costs or expenses as per the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date based on the optimal estimate of the number of vesting equity instruments on each balance sheet date within the waiting period, and the capital reserve is adjusted accordingly. The equity-settled share-based payments exchanged for services of other parties are measured as per the fair value of the services of other parties on the date of acquisition if its reliable measurement is possible. If the reliable measurement of the fair value of other parties' services is impossible, but that of the equity instruments is possible, it will be measured as per the fair value of the equity instruments on the date of acquiring the services and are included in relevant costs or expenses, and the owner's equity is increased accordingly. (2) Cash-settled share-based payments These cash-settled share-based payments vested immediately after the grant date and exchanged for employee services shall be included in relevant costs or expenses as per the fair value of the liabilities assumed by the Company on the grant date, and the liabilities shall be increased accordingly. For these cash-settled share-based payments that are vested only after the services within the waiting period are completed or the specified performance conditions are satisfied and that are exchanged for employee services, the services acquired in the current period shall be included in relevant costs or expenses and corresponding liabilities as per the fair value of the liabilities assumed by the Company based on the optimal estimate of the vesting conditions on each balance sheet date within the waiting period. (3) Modifying and terminating the share-based payment scheme If the modification increases the fair value of the granted equity instruments, the Company recognizes the increase of the acquired services 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 recognizes the increased fair value of the equity instruments as the increase of the acquired services accordingly. If the Company modifies the vesting conditions in a way favorable to employees, the Company considers the modified vesting conditions when dealing with the vesting conditions. If the modification decreases the fair value of the granted equity instruments, the Company continues to recognize the amount of the acquired services according to the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date, without taking into account the decrease of the fair value of the equity instruments. If the modification decreases the number of the granted equity instruments, the Company treats the decreased part as cancellation of the granted equity instruments. If the Company modifies the vesting conditions in a way unfavorable to employees, the Company will not consider the modified vesting conditions when dealing with the vesting conditions. If the Company cancels or settles the granted equity instruments within the waiting period (other than the cancellation arising from failure to meet the vesting conditions), the cancellation or settlement is regarded as accelerated vesting treatment to immediately recognize the amount that should be recognized within the remaining waiting period. 138 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 33. Preference shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments √Applicable □Not applicable According to the relevant standards for financial instruments, for financial instruments such as convertible corporate bonds issued, the Company shall classify these financial instruments or their components as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments during initial recognition, based on the contractual terms of the financial instruments issued and the economic substance they reflect, not only in legal form, but in combination with the definitions of financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. On the balance sheet date, for financial instruments classified as equity instruments, the accounting treatment for interest expense or dividend distribution as the Company's profit distribution, and for repurchase, cancellation, etc. as changes in equity is carried out; for financial instruments classified as financial liabilities, the accounting treatment for interest expense or dividend distribution as borrowing costs is carried out, and the gains or losses from repurchase or redemption are included in current profit or loss. 34. Revenue (1). Accounting policy applied for recognition and measurement of revenues disclosed by business type √Applicable □Not applicable 1. Revenue recognition principle The Company shall, on the commencement date of the contract, evaluate the contract, identify the individual performance obligations provided in the contract and determine whether to perform them within a period or at a time point. The performance obligations shall be deemed to be performed within a period if one of the following conditions is satisfied, otherwise, it will be deemed to be performed at a time point: (1) the customer acquires and consumes the economic benefits brought by the Company's performance while the Company is performing its obligations; (2) the customer is capable to control the commodities in progress during the Company's performance; (3) the commodities produced during the Company's performance have irreplaceable purpose and the Company has the right to collect the amounts for the performance part already completed to date within the whole contract term. For the obligations performed within a period, the Company shall recognize the revenue according to the performance progress in that period. If the performance progress cannot be determined in a reasonable way, but the incurred costs are expected to be reimbursed, the revenue shall be recognized according to the incurred amount of costs until the performance progress can be determined in a reasonable way. For the obligations performed at a time point, the revenue shall be recognized at the time of the customer's acquiring the control of related commodities or services. The Company shall take into account the following when judging whether the customer has acquired the commodity control: (1) the Company has the current right for collection, namely the customer has the current obligation for payment with respect to the commodity; (2) the Company has transferred the legal title of the commodity to the customer, namely the customer has possessed the legal title of the commodity; (3) the Company has transferred the physical commodity to the customer, namely the customer has physical possession of the commodity; (4) the Company has passed the main risks and return on the commodity's title to the customer, namely the customer has acquired the same; (5) the customer has accepted the commodity; and (6) there is other information indicating that the customer has acquired the commodity control. 2. Revenue measurement principle 139 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 (1) The Company shall measure the revenue according to the transaction price apportioned to the individual performance obligations. The transaction price refers to the consideration amount of which the Company is expected to have right for collection due to transfer of commodities or services to the customer, excluding the amounts charged on behalf of the third party and expected to refund to the customer. (2) In case of variable consideration in the contract, the Company shall determine the optimal estimate of the variable consideration according to the expected value or the amount most likely to be incurred, while the transaction price including the variable consideration shall not exceed the amount under the circumstance where the accumulatively recognized revenue will be highly unlikely to suffer major reversal when relevant uncertainties are eliminated. (3) In case of major financing composition in the contract, the Company shall determine the transaction price according to the payable amount assumed to be paid by the customer in cash immediately after he acquires the control of the commodities or services. The difference between the transaction price and the contract consideration shall be amortized by the effective interest method within the contract term. If the Company expects, on the commencement date of the contract, that the interval between the customer's acquisition of the control of the commodities or services and its payment is not more than one year, the major financing composition in the contract shall not be taken into account. (4) In case of two or more performance obligations in the contract, the Company shall, on the commencement date of the contract, apportion the transaction price to the individual performance obligations according to the relative proportion of the individual sales price of the commodities undertaken as per the individual performance obligations. (2). Different business models for similar businesses involve different revenue recognition and measurement methods √Applicable □Not applicable The Company mainly sells cosmetics. It has different sales models classified as distribution, direct selling and sales on commission. (1) Distribution The sales revenue shall be recognized after the Company delivers the products to the buyer according to the provisions of the contract and the buyer accepts the same. (2) Direct selling The sales revenue shall be recognized after the Company delivers the commodities to the consumer, and the consumer confirms receipt and makes payment. (3) Sales on commission The sales revenue shall be recognized after the Company delivers the products to the commissioned party according to the provisions of the contract and the commissioned party provides the list of sales on commission to the Company upon selling the products to others. 35. Contract cost √Applicable □Not applicable The incremental cost incurred by the Company for acquiring the contract that is expected to be recoverable, as the contract acquisition cost, shall be recognized as an asset. If the amortization period of the contract acquisition cost is no more than one year, it shall be directly included in current profit or loss when incurred. 140 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 The cost incurred by the Company for performing the contract that falls out of the standard scope of relevant criteria for stock, fixed assets or intangible assets and that satisfies the following conditions, as the contract performance cost, shall be recognized as an asset: 1. The cost is directly related to one contract acquired currently or as expected, including direct labor, direct materials and manufacturing expenses (or similar), costs expressly borne by the customer and other costs incurred solely in connection with the contract; 2. The cost increases the resources for the Company to perform its obligations in the future; 3. The cost is expected to be recoverable. The Company shall amortize the assets related to the contract cost on the same basis as for recognizing the revenue of the commodities or services in connection with the assets and shall be charged to the current profit or loss. If the carrying value of the assets related to the contract cost is higher than the surplus consideration expected to be acquired for transferring the commodities or services in connection with the assets minus the cost expected to be incurred, the Company shall make the provision for impairment against the exceeding part and recognize it as the assets impairment loss. If any changes in the factors for impairment in previous periods make the surplus consideration expected to be acquired for transferring the commodities or services in connection with the assets minus the cost expected to incur higher than the carrying value of the assets, the provision for assets impairment made originally shall be reversed and included in current profit or loss, provided that the reversed carrying value of the assets is no more than that on the reversal date without making the provision for impairment. 36. Government grants √Applicable □Not applicable 1. Government grants are recognized when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the Company is able to meet the conditions attached to the government grants; (2) the Company is able to receive the government grants. In case of government grants as monetary assets, they shall be measured as per the amount received or receivable. In case of government grants as non-monetary assets, they shall be measured as per the fair value; in case that the fair value cannot be acquired in a reliable way, they shall be measured as per the nominal amount. 2. Basis of determination and accounting treatment for government grants related to assets These government grants that are used for purchasing and constructing or otherwise forming long-term assets as specified in government documents are classified as government grants related to assets. In case of no provision in government documents, the government grants shall be determined on the basis of the essential condition required for obtaining the grants, and shall be considered as related to assets if the essential condition is purchasing and constructing or otherwise forming long-term assets. The government grants related to assets shall offset the carrying value of relevant assets or be recognized as deferred income. If the government grants related to assets are recognized as deferred income, they shall be included in the profit or loss in a reasonable and systematic way within the useful life of relevant assets. The government grants measured as per the nominal amount shall be directly included in current profit or loss. If related assets are sold, transferred, scrapped or damaged before the end of their useful life, the related deferred income balance unallocated shall be transferred into the current profit or loss of assets disposal. 3. Basis of determination and accounting treatment for government grants related to income The government grants other than those related to assets are classified as government grants related to income. If it is difficult to distinguish whether the government grants containing both the part related to 141 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 assets and the part related to income are related to assets or income, they shall be entirely classified as the government grants related to income. The government grants related to income that are used for compensation for relevant costs or losses in subsequent periods shall be recognized as deferred income, and included in current profit or loss or offset relevant costs in the period in which relevant costs or losses are recognized; those used for compensation for relevant costs or losses that have incurred shall be directly included in current profit or loss or offset relevant costs. 4. The government grants related to daily business activities of the Company shall be included in other income or offset relevant costs according to the nature of the economic business. The government grants unrelated to the daily activities of the Company shall be included in non-operating income and expenses. 37. Deferred income tax assets/liabilities √Applicable □Not applicable 1. According to the difference between the carrying value of the assets and liabilities and their tax basis (if the tax basis of the items recognized not as assets and liabilities can be determined according to the provisions of the tax law, the difference between that tax basis and their carrying amount), the deferred income tax assets or liabilities shall be calculated and recognized according to the tax rate applicable in the period where it is expected to recover the assets or liquidate the liabilities. 2. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is very likely to obtain the taxable income to deduct the deductible temporary differences. If on the balance sheet date, there are conclusive evidence proving that it is very likely to obtain sufficient taxable income in future periods to deduct the deductible temporary differences, the deferred income tax assets not recognized yet in previous accounting periods shall be recognized. 3. If the carrying value of the deferred income tax assets is reviewed on the balance sheet date and it is very likely to not obtain sufficient taxable income in future periods to deduct their benefits, the carrying value of the deferred income tax assets shall be written down. When it is very likely to obtain sufficient taxable income, the amount written down shall be reversed. 4. The current income tax and deferred income tax of the Company are included in current profit or loss as the income tax expense or income, except for the income tax arising from the following circumstances: (1) business combination; (2) transaction or matters recognized directly in the owner's equity. 5. Where the following conditions are met simultaneously, the Company will present the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities at the net amount after offset: (1) the Company has a legal right to settle the current income tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; (2) the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity, or different taxable entities. However, in the future, for each significant period of deferred income tax assets and liabilities being reversed, the involved taxable entity intends to either settle current income tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to acquire the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. 38. Lease √Applicable □Not applicable Basis of judgment and accounting treatment of the Company as the lessee for short-term leases and low-value asset leases subject to simplified treatment √Applicable □Not applicable On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company recognizes leases with a lease term not exceeding 12 months and no purchase option as short-term leases; leases with low value when individual 142 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 leased assets are brand-new assets are recognized as leases of low-value assets. If the Company subleases or is expected to sublease the leased assets, the original lease is not recognized as a lease of low-value assets. For all short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Company records the lease payments in the cost of related assets or the current profit or loss by straight-line method over each period of the lease term. Except for the above-mentioned short-term leases and leases of low-value assets that adopt simplified treatment, the Company recognizes leases as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, on the commencement date of the lease term. (1) Right-of-use assets Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost which includes: 1) the initial measurement amount of lease liabilities; 2) the lease payments made on or before the commencement date of the lease term, deducting the amounts related to the lease incentive given if there is a lease incentive; 3) the initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; 4) the estimated costs to be incurred by the lessee to dismantle and remove leased assets, restore the site where the leased assets are located, or restore the leased assets to the condition agreed upon in the lease terms. The Company depreciates right-of-use assets by the straight-line method. If it can be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased assets will be acquired at the expiration of the lease term, the Company shall accrue depreciation over the remaining useful life of the leased assets. If it cannot be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased assets can be acquired at the expiration of the lease term, the Company shall accrue depreciation over the lease term or the remaining useful life of the leased assets, whichever is shorter. (2) Lease liabilities On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company recognizes the present value of the outstanding lease payments as lease liabilities. When calculating the present value of lease payments, the interest rate implicit in the lease is used as the discount rate. If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate is used as the discount rate. The difference between the lease payment and its present value is regarded as the unrecognized financing expense, and the interest expense is recognized in each period of the lease term according to the discount rate of the present value of the recognized lease payment, and is included in current profit or loss. Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are included in current profit or loss when actually incurred. After the commencement date of the lease term, when there is a change in the actual amount of fixed payment, a change in the estimated payable amount of the guaranteed residual value, a change in the index or ratio used to determine the lease payment amount, or a change in the evaluation result or actual exercise of the purchase option, renewal option or termination option, the Company re-measures the lease liabilities according to the present value of the changed lease payments, and adjusts the carrying value of the right-of-use assets accordingly. If the carrying value of the right-of-use assets has been reduced to zero, but the lease liabilities still need to be further reduced, the remaining amount shall be included in current profit or loss. Classification and accounting treatment of the Company as the lessor for leases √Applicable □Not applicable On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company classifies the leases that have almost all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the leased assets substantially transferred as financial leases, and other leases as operating leases. 143 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 (1) Operating lease During each period of the lease term, the Company recognizes the lease receipts as rental income by the straight-line method, capitalizes the initial direct expenses incurred and amortizes the expenses on the same basis as for rental income recognition, to be included in current profit or loss in installments. The variable lease payments obtained by the Company related to operating leases but not included in the lease receipts are included in current profit or loss when actually incurred. (2) Financial lease On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company recognizes the financial lease receivables based on the net lease investment (the sum of the unguaranteed residual value and the present value of the lease receipts that have not been received on the commencement date of the lease term discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease), and derecognizes financial lease assets. During each period of the lease term, the Company calculates and recognizes interest income based on the interest rate implicit in the lease. The variable lease payments received by the Company that are not included in the measurement of net lease investment are included in current profit or loss when actually incurred. 39. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates √Applicable □Not applicable Accounting treatment related to repurchasing the Company’s shares If the Company’s shares are acquired due to reasons such as reducing registered capital or rewarding employees, the actual amount paid is treated as treasury shares and recorded for future reference. Where the repurchased shares are canceled, the difference between the total face value of the shares calculated based on the face value and number of canceled shares and the actual amount paid for the repurchase will be offset against the capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to be offset, the retained earnings will be offset.

Risks Related to Financial Instruments 1. Risks of financial instruments √Applicable □Not applicable The Company's risk management aims to reach balancing between risks and benefits, to minimize the negative impact of risks on the Company's operating results, and to maximize the interests of shareholders and other equity investors. Based on these risk management goals, the Company's basic strategy for risk management is to determine and analyze various risks faced by the Company, establish an appropriate risk tolerance bottom line and conduct risk management, and supervise various risks in a timely and reliable manner to control the risks within a limited scope. The Company faces various risks related to financial instruments in its daily activities, mainly including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The management has considered and approved the policies governing these risks as outlined below. (I) Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that one party of a financial instrument fails to fulfill its obligations, resulting in financial losses to the other party. 1. Credit risk management practice (1) Assessment method of credit risk The Company, on each balance sheet date, assesses whether the credit risk of relevant financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition. In determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company takes into account the reasonable and well-founded information available without unnecessary additional costs or efforts, including qualitative and quantitative analyses based on historical data, external credit risk rating and forward-looking information. The Company determines the changes that may result in default risk of financial instruments within their expected duration by comparing the default risk of the financial instruments on the balance sheet date and the initial recognition date based on an individual financial instrument or combined financial instruments with similar credit risk characteristics. The Company deems that the credit risk of the financial instruments has increased significantly if one or more of the following quantitative or qualitative standards are reached: 1) The quantitative standard is mainly that the probability of default within the remaining duration on the balance sheet date has increased by more than a certain proportion compared with that at the initial recognition; 2) The qualitative standard is mainly that there are material adverse changes occurring to the business or financial conditions of the debtor and changes in the exiting or anticipated technology, market, economic 224 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 or legal environment which have a material adverse effect on the debtor's ability to make repayment to the Company. (2) Definitions of default and assets with credit impairment If the financial instruments meet one or more of the following conditions, the Company defines the financial assets as in default, with its standard consistent with the definition of credit impairment: 1) The debtor faces major financial difficulties; 2) The debtor breaches the provisions governing it in the contract; 3) The debtor is very likely to become bankrupt or go into other financial restructuring proceedings; 4) The creditor makes a concession to the debtor which it will not make under any other circumstances for the economic or contractual considerations in connection with the debtor’s financial difficulties. 2. Measurement of expected credit loss The key parameters for measurement of expected credit loss include the probability of default, loss given default and default risk exposure. The Company builds the models of probability of default, loss given default and default risk exposure considering the quantitative analysis of historical statistical data (such as counterparty rating, guarantee type, category of collateral and pledge, repayment method) and forward-looking information. 3. For the details on the reconciliation statement of opening balance and closing balance of financial instrument loss reserve, refer to the particulars contained in “5. Accounts receivable”, “7. Receivables financing” and “9. Other receivables” in “VII. Notes to the Items in Consolidated Financial Statements”, “Section X Financial Report” of this Report. 4. Credit risk exposure and credit risk concentration The credit risk of the Company is derived mainly from the monetary capital and accounts receivable. To control the above related risk, the Company has respectively taken the following measures. (1) Monetary capital The bank deposit and other monetary capitals of the Company were deposited with financial institutions with high credit rating. Therefore, the credit risk was low. (2) Accounts receivable The Company continuously carries out credit assessments on customers who trade in credit. According to the results of credit assessments, the Company deals with approved and credible customers, and monitors the balance of its accounts receivable, so as to prevent significant bad debt risk. No guarantee is required as the Company only transacts with recognized and reputable third parties. Credit risk concentration is managed on a per-customer basis. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a certain credit concentration risk of 93.09% (as of December 31, 2023: 93.36%) of the Company's accounts receivable originating from the top five customers in the balance. The Company had no guarantee or other credit enhancement on the balance of the accounts receivable. The maximum credit risk exposure of the Company is the carrying value of the financial assets in the balance sheet. (II) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk refers to the risk of shortage of funds when the Company fulfills its obligation to settle by delivering cash or other financial assets. Liquidity risk may arise from the inability to sell financial assets at fair value as soon as possible, or the counterparty's inability to pay off its contractual debts, or early maturity of debt, or the inability to generate expected cash flows. To control such risk, the Company applies various financing methods, such as bill settlements and bank loans, in appropriate combination of long-term and short-term financing to optimize the financing structure and keep the balance between financing sustainability and flexibility. The Company has 225 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 obtained lines of credit from several commercial banks to satisfy its working capital demand and capital expenditure.

Market risks mainly include 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 flow of financial instruments due to changes in market interest rates. Interest-bearing financial instruments with a fixed interest rate expose the Company to the interest rate risk of fair value, and those with a floating interest rate expose the Company to the interest rate risk of cash flow. The Company determines the proportion of financial instruments with a fixed interest rate and a floating interest rate according to the market 226 / 258 Semi-Annual Report 2024 environment, and maintains an appropriate combination of financial instruments through regular review and monitoring. 2. Foreign exchange risk Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flow of financial instruments due to the change of foreign exchange rates. The risk of changes in foreign exchange rates faced by the Company is mainly related to the Company's foreign currency assets and liabilities. The Company carries out business in the Chinese mainland, and therefore has main activities valuated in RMB. Therefore, the market risk of foreign exchange changes faced by the Company is minor. For the details on foreign-currency monetary assets and liabilities of the Company at the end of the period, refer to the particulars contained in “81. Foreign-currency monetary items” in “VII. Notes to the Items in Consolidated Financial Statements”, “Section X Financial Report” of this Report. 2.
