New product strategy Proya: 12 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 During the Reporting Period, we deepened the “hero product strategy” by focusing on three family series products, namely Elastic Brightening Series, Deep Ocean Energy Series and Advanced Original Repair Series. For the “Elastic Brightening Series”, the core hero product, Elastic Brightening Energy Essence, has been upgraded to version 3.0. The establishment of exclusive ingredient barriers has significantly enhanced the product’s efficacy and user experience. We have also improved its sustainability, thereby increasing its irreplaceability among young consumers. The Elastic Brightening Series make-up water and lotion cream have been upgraded and adjusted to better meet the efficacy needs of “young skin”, which have continuously reinforced the customer mindset of the Elastic Brightening Series. Regarding the “Deep Ocean Energy Series”, the Deep Ocean Energy Facial Mask and Deep Ocean Energy Firming Eye Cream have both launched 2.0 versions. The Deep Ocean Energy Moisture Lotion has also been upgraded to provide a more enriched product experience, catering to consumers’ diverse needs from multiple dimensions. In addition, the “Recycling Series” featuring moisturizing effects and the “Sun Around Skin Care Mineral Sunscreen Serum” single product for sensitive skin were launched. In the first half of 2023, the Proya brand ranked first in the essence category, second in the face cream category, second in the face mask category, and fifth in the eye cream category on the Tmall platform. TIMAGE: During the Reporting Period, TIMAGE constantly broadened market horizons and improved category arrangement. While maintaining a leading position in core hero products such as highlighters, contouring, concealers, primers, and setting sprays within the existing advantageous product categories, we continuously increased market share. In March, we introduced the brand new “Vigorous and Flowing Jade Series” and launched three new products: the “Tri-color Blush Palette”, the “All-in-one Brow Palette”, and the “Matte Lipstick”. Among them, the flagship product “Tri-color Blush Palette” has shown remarkable performance, ranking second in the blush category on Tmall in the first half of 2023. During the “618” shopping festival, we launched the all-new “Original Radiant Cushion Foundation” and upgraded the “Matte Glow Pressed Powder”, both of which received positive market feedback. Off&Relax (OR): During the Reporting Period, we continued to increase the market penetration of our star hero products, “OR Spa Shampoo Refresh” and “OR Spa Hair Mask”. During the “618” shopping festival, the shampoo ranked second on Tmall’s best-selling list for international imported shampoos, while the hair masque ranked first on the best-selling list for hair masques. We have continuously nurtured a consumer mindset that recognizes us as an “expert in scalp health”. We launched a new pre-shampoo category called “Purifying Scalp Cleanser” to meet the needs of middle-and high-end consumers who prioritize a superior cleansing experience for their scalp. During the “618” shopping festival, our “Purifying Scalp Cleanser” ranked second in the pre-shampoo category on Tmall. Hapsode: During the Reporting Period, we focused on building our product categories and enhancing consumer awareness that recognizes Hapsode as an “expert in oily skin care”. We introduced the upgraded products: Cleansing Honey 2.0, Multi-Acid Clay Mask 2.0 and Olive Oil Face Mask 2.0. We also re-launched three core products of our oil-control family: Oil Control Essence 2.0, Pore Refining Serum and Oil Control Loose Powder. These improvements aim to enhance the overall skincare routine for oily skin. 13 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 2. New marketing strategy Proya: During the Reporting Period, the Proya brand has centered its brand strategy around two brand keywords: “youthfulness” and “technological prowess”. Embracing the “spirit of exploration”, the brand has addressed the multifaceted factors behind specific skin concerns. The following brand marketing initiatives have been undertaken: (1) “Thank You for Participation” in January. In this event, we expressed the most important “thank you” to our users through short films posted in user stories and offline user story exhibitions. We expressed our gratitude to them for their being with us throughout 2022. (2) “Just the Right Warmth of Love” on Valentine’s Day in February. In this event, we joined hands with Jingdezhen Royal Kiln Museum to create a customized collection of “Royal Kiln Duo Cups”. These cups are designed to deliver the perfect temperature to every perfect couple out there, and to anyone who dares to try something new. (3) “Gender is not the borderline, prejudice is” on Women’s Day in March. In this event, we created educational picture books focusing on gender equality, produced thematic short films adapted from real stories, and collaborated with law firms to launch the “Proya Public Welfare Labor Legal Consultation Service”. Through concrete efforts, we not only encouraged mention and discussion of “gender equality” on Women's Day, but helped push for the issues to be considered on all other days of the year. (4) On Mother’s Day in May, we showed care for mothers and acknowledged both the visible physical labor and the invisible mental labor they undertake in as they support their families. We mentioned that “Moms can take care of the family, but every family member can do the same”. Through the short film “More Than Just Moms”, we called on every family member to not only recognize the goodness of mothers but also collectively take on family responsibilities. (5) “Scientific Formulas, Scientific Choices for the Skin” in June. In this event, we organized 7 “Day Coffee and Night Alcohol Pop-Up stores” in 6 cities around China. The purpose of these pop-up stores was to communicate the brand’s concept of “scientific formulas” to consumers. Through offline interactions between the stores and consumers, participants had the opportunity for in-depth experience of the products and technological concepts. TIMAGE: During the Reporting Period, TIMAGE continued to present the concept of “Chinese make-up, original beauty” with craftsmanship and professionalism. TIMAGE carried out the following brand marketing events: (1) Newly launched the “Vigorous and Flowing Jade” series colorful brilliance products in March. In this event, we defined Chinese aesthetics. The concept advertisement of the new “Vigorous and Flowing Jade” series was unveiled. Instructor TANG Yi hosted a master class, collaborating with beauty bloggers to create the “Vigorous and Flowing Jade Make-up” and sparking a trend of imitation make-up. An offline Vigorous and Flowing Jade press conference was held in collaboration with celebrities GAO Ye and MA Sichun appearing in person to show their support. (2) “Beyond Love” in May. In this event, we joined hands with three couples who have been together for a long time to shoot a short film that explores how to draw energy from the inherent beauty of life in our fast-paced era, and how to better love our partners, ourselves, and life. We also launched the TIMAGE 520 gift box, which enabled the brand to convey emotions and provide special treatment, expanding the brand’s value. 14 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 Off&Relax (OR): During the Reporting Period, OR conducted a series of brand activities centered around the brand philosophy of “Purifying from the skin to the body and mind”. These activities encompassed various aspects such as physical and mental well-being, and embracing nature. Relevant events are as follows: (1) In January, we joined hands with the “Cao Sichuan Ride-Hailing” app platform to launch the “Switching to off mode on the way home” event, allowing everyone to find release from the fatigue of the year and taking a relaxing trip back home. (2) In March, we introduced a limited edition Sakura Season package, and collaborated with young illustrator SUN Yijia to create it. Through the “Chasing Spring Blossoms, let’s set off immediately” campaign, we invited everyone to immerse themselves in nature and pursue the essence of spring. (3) In April, in celebration of Earth Day, we launched the “Off&Relax recycling program”. For this project, we collaborated with key opinion leaders (KOLs) and ordinary individuals to unlock the “second life” of empty bottles and transform them into a meaningful part of daily life through creative endeavors. We also advocated for the purchase of refillable products to reduce the generation of empty bottles. (4) In June, during the “618” shopping festival, we jointly launched the “Guide for Life Metabolism” campaign, advocating for busy urban people to instantly let their troubles go and reclaim their lives. In addition, we collaborated to launch the OffNight bar, a “life metabolism” book list, and sound meditation classes to provide everyone with various ways to “let it go”. 3. New channel strategy Proya: Online: (1) Tmall flagship store During the Reporting Period, we continued to consolidate the “hero product” portfolio strategy and develop star hero products. We strengthened the category penetration of the Deep Ocean Energy Cream and Elastic Brightening Face Masks, solidified the position of the Elastic Brightening Essence 3.0 as a super hero product, and further enhanced the penetration rate of high-value customers. We reduced costs and improved efficiency, optimized the advertising structure, and deepened collaboration between on-site and off-site audiences. We continued to optimize the product structure, focused on expanding our customer base, increased customer retention among existing customers, and significantly improved customer satisfaction with customer service and logistics.

Translation of foreign-currency financial statements 95 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 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 profit” 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. 10. 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 the current 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 the current profit or loss during derecognition, reclassification, 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 the 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. 96 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 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 the 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 the current profit or loss The method of subsequent measurement at fair value is adopted. The generated gains or losses (including interest and dividend income) are included in the 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 the 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 the current profit or loss. As for such financial liabilities, the method of subsequent measurement at the fair value is adopted. The fair value changes of financial liabilities measured at fair value with said change included in the 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 the 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 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 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: loss provisions determined according to regulations on impairment of financial instruments; 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 The measurement at amortized cost using the effective interest method is adopted. The gains and losses incurred by the financial liabilities measured at amortized cost but not belonging to any hedging relationship are included in the 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: The contract right to collect cash flow from the financial assets has been terminated; 97 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 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 in the following scenarios: (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 the 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 the 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 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 98 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 volatility, future cash flows of retirement obligations borne during the business merger, and financial forecasts based on its own data. 5. Impairment of financial instruments (1) Impairment measurement and accounting treatment 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 the current profit or loss, and the financial guarantee contracts of financial liabilities not measured at fair value with changes included in the 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. 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 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 lease receivables as well as receivables and contract assets from transactions in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.14 – Revenue, including significant financing components, 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 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 99 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 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 the 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. (2) Financial instruments with expected credit risk assessed on a portfolio basis and expected credit loss measured under three-stage model Item Basis for determining the Method for measurement of expected credit portfolio loss Calculating the expected credit loss by the default risk exposure and the expected credit Other receivables - aging loss rate in the next 12 months or in the whole Account age portfolio duration by referring to historical experience in credit loss and according to the current situation and the forecast on future economic conditions (3) Receivables and contract assets with expected credit loss measured under simplified measurement approach and on a portfolio basis 1) Portfolio details and method for measurement of expected credit loss Item Basis for determining the Method for measurement of expected credit loss portfolio Calculating the expected credit loss by the default risk exposure and the expected credit Receivables financing - bank loss rate in the whole duration by referring to Note type acceptance note 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 rate Accounts receivable - aging Account age in the whole duration by referring to historical portfolio experience in credit loss and according to the current situation and the forecast on future economic conditions 2) Accounts receivable - the comparison table between age of aging portfolio and expected credit loss rate in the whole duration Accounts receivable Account age Expected credit loss rate (%) Within 1 year (inclusive, same for below) 5 1-2 years 30 2-3 years 50 Above 3 years 100 6. Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities 100 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 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. 11. Notes receivable Determination and accounting treatment of the expected credit loss of notes receivable □ Applicable √ Not applicable 12. Accounts receivable Determination and accounting treatment of the expected credit loss of accounts receivable √ Applicable □ Not applicable Refer to “10. Financial instruments” in “V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates” of “Section X Financial Report” of this report for details. 13. Receivables financing √ Applicable □ Not applicable Refer to “10.

Classification of inventories Inventories include finished goods or commodities held for sale in the ordinary course of business, goods in process during the production, materials consumed in the course of production and rendering of labor services. 2. Valuation method of delivered inventories The moving weighted average method is adopted for delivered inventories. 3. Basis for the determination of net realizable value of inventories At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and provision for impairment of inventories is made based on the positive difference between a single inventory cost and its net realizable value. The net realizable value of inventories directly for sale is determined by the amount of the estimated selling price after deducting the estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes during the ordinary course of production and business; the net realizable value of 101 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 inventories required to be processed is determined by the amount of the estimated selling price of the finished products after deducting the estimated cost to completion, the estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes during the ordinary course of production and business. On the balance sheet date, the net realizable value is determined separately for the two parts of the same inventory with or without contract price, and is compared with the relevant costs to separately determine the amount withdrawn or reversed for provision for impairment of inventories. 4. Inventory system The Company adopts a perpetual inventory system. 5. Amortization of low-value consumables and packaging materials (1) Low-value consumables Amortization is performed by the immediate write-off method. (2) Packaging materials Amortization is performed by the immediate write-off method. 16. Contract assets (1). Recognition methods and standards of contract assets √ Applicable □ Not applicable The rights of the Company to collect consideration from the customer unconditionally (i.e. only depending on time) are presented as receivables; the rights (depending on other factors than time) to collect consideration for transferring goods to the customer are presented as contract assets.

Long-term equity investments √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Joint control or significant influence criterion 102 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 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 (1) For an enterprise merger under common control: where the merging party pays cash, transfers non-cash assets, bears debts or issues equity securities as consideration of the merger, 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 merger. The difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investment and the carrying value of the consideration paid for the merger 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 an enterprise merger under common control through multiple transactions. For items belong to 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 on the date of merger. The difference between initial investment cost of long-term equity investment at the date of merger and the sum of the carrying amount of long-term equity investment before merger and carrying value of newly paid consideration for additional shares acquired on the date of merger is to adjust capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset the difference, the retained earnings are adjusted. (2) For the business merger not under common control, the fair value of consideration paid for merger is regarded as the initial investment cost on the acquisition date. For the long-term equity investment achieved by the Company via business merger 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 items belong to 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 merger: 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. 103 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 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. 4. Treatment of losing of control upon disposal of investment to subsidiaries through multiple transactions (1) Individual financial statements For disposal of equity, the difference between the carrying value and the consideration actually received is included in the 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 1) Loss of control upon disposal of investment in subsidiary through multiple transactions, and not belonging to the “package deal” Before losing 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. 2) Loss of control upon disposal of investment to subsidiaries through multiple transactions, and belonging to the “package deal” 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 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. 22. 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.

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 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. 25. 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.

(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 the bank interests for the unused portion or the investment income for temporary investment from the interest costs (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. 26.

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 benefit 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 the current profit or loss or the costs of the related assets. 34. Lease liabilities √ Applicable □ Not applicable Refer to “42. Lease” in “V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates” of “Section X Financial Report” of this report for details. 35. 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 is reviewed on the balance sheet date. 36. Share-based payments √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Types of share-based payments There are equity-settled and cash-settled share-based payments. 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; 109 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 if the reliable measurement of the fair value of other parties’ services is impossible, but that of the equity instruments is possible, they 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 fair value of the granted equity instruments is increased, the Company recognizes the increase of the acquired services according to the increase of the fair value of the equity instruments. If the number of the granted equity instruments is increased, 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 fair value of the granted equity instruments is decreased, 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 number of the granted equity instruments is decreased, 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. 37. Preference shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments √ Applicable □ Not applicable According to the relevant standards for financial instruments and the Regulations on Relevant Accounting Treatment of Perpetual Bonds (Ministry of Finance [2019] No. 2), for financial instruments such as convertible corporate bonds issued, the Company shall classify these financial instruments or their components as financial assets, financial liabilities and 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 110 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 costs is carried out, and the gains or losses from repurchase or redemption are included in the current profit or loss. 38. Revenue (1). Accounting policy applied for revenue recognition and measurement √ 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, they 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 acquired the same; (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 (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 111 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 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). Difference in accounting policies for revenue recognition resulting from different business models for similar businesses √ 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. 39. Contract cost √ Applicable □ Not applicable The assets associated with the contract acquisition cost include the contract acquisition cost and contract performance cost. 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 the current profit or loss when incurred. The cost incurred by the Company for performing the contract that falls out of the standard scope of relevant criteria for stocks, 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 112 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 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 be incurred higher than the carrying value of the assets, the provision for assets impairment made originally shall be reversed and included in the 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. 40. 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 method 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 clear 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 and 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 the 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 profit and loss in the current period of assets disposal. 3. Basis of determination and accounting treatment method 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 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 the 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 the 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. 41. Deferred tax assets/ liabilities √ Applicable □ Not applicable 113 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 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 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 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 is conclusive evidence proving that it is very likely to obtain sufficient taxable income in future periods to deduct the deductible temporary differences, the deferred tax assets not recognized yet in previous accounting periods shall be recognized. 3. If the carrying value of the deferred 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 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 tax of the Company are included in the current profit or loss as the income tax expense or income, except for the income tax arising from the following circumstances: (1) business merger; (2) transactions or matters recognized directly in the owner’s equity. 42. Lease (1). Accounting treatment of operating lease □ Applicable √ Not applicable (2). Accounting treatment of financing lease □ Applicable √ Not applicable (3). Determination method and accounting treatment of lease under new lease standards √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. The Company as lessee On the start 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 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 start 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 start 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 114 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 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 start 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 the current profit or loss. Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are included in the current profit or loss when actually incurred. After the start 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 the current profit or loss. 2. The Company as lessor On the start 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 financing leases, and other leases as operating leases. (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 the 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 the current profit or loss when actually incurred. (2) Financing lease On the start date of the lease term, the Company recognizes the financing 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 start date of the lease term discounted at the interest rate implicit in lease), and derecognizes financing 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 the current profit or loss when actually incurred. 115 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 43.

Risks related to Financial Instruments √ Applicable □ Not applicable The Company’s risk management aims to reach a balance 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, including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The management has deliberated and approved the policing governing these risks as outlined below. (I) Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that one party of a financial instrument fails or is unable to fulfill its obligations, resulting in financial losses to the other party. 1. Approach to credit risk (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 181 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 well-founded information available without unnecessary additional costs or efforts, including qualitative and quantitative analysis 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 the combined financial instruments with similar credit risk characteristics. The Company deems that the credit risk of the financial instruments has increased significantly if any one or more of the following quantitative and qualitative standards are triggered: 1) The main quantitative standard is 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 main qualitative standard is 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 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 any 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 Beginning Balance and Closing Balance of Financial Instrument Loss Reserve, please see the particulars contained in “5. Account receivable; 6. Receivables financing; and 8. Other receivables”, “VII. Notes to the Items in the Consolidated Financial Statements”, “Section X Financial 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 Bank deposits and other monetary capital 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 assessment on customers who trade in credit. According to the result of credit assessment, the Company deals with approved and credible customers, and monitors the balance of their 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 as per customers. As of June 30, 2023, there was certain credit concentration risk in the Company and 80.89% (December 31, 2022: 68.05%) of the accounts receivable 182 / 210 Semi-Annual Report 2023 of the Company were concentrated on top five customers in the balance of account receivable. 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 amount 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, the counterparty’s inability to pay off its contractual debt, the acceleration of debt or the inability to generate expected cash flow. To control such risk, the Company applies various financing methods, such as bill settlement and bank loans, in appropriate combination of long-term and short-term financing ways to optimize the financing structure and keep the balance between financing sustainability and flexibility. The Company has obtained lines of credit from several commercial banks to satisfy its working capital demands and capital expenditure.

Market risks include interest rate and foreign exchange risks. 1. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk refers to that the fair value or future cash flow of financial instruments may fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The interest-bearing financial instruments with a fixed interest rate cause the interest rate risk of fair value, and those with a floating interest rate cause the interest rate risk of cash flow. The Company determines the proportion of financial instruments with a fixed interest rate and financial instruments with a floating interest rate according to the market environment, and maintains an appropriate combination of financial instruments through regular review and monitoring. 2. Foreign exchange risk Foreign exchange risk refers to that the fair value or future cash flow of financial instruments may fluctuate due to changes in 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 most of its 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 the monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency of the Company at the end of the period, please see the particulars contained in “82. Foreign currency monetary items”, “VII. Notes to the Items in the Consolidated Financial Statements”, “Section X Financial Report”. XI. Disclosure of fair value 1.
