II. Industry of the Company during the Reporting Period With the ongoing advancement of the "Healthy China 2030" national strategy and reforms in the healthcare and pharmaceutical systems, alongside consistent GDP growth, rising disposable incomes, and increasing levels of social consumption, per capita healthcare spending by Chinese residents grew annually, reaching CN2,460 in 2023, accounting for 9.2% of per capita consumer spending. Influenced by multiple social factors such as the aging population, the three-child policy, urbanization, and 17 / 329 2023 Annual Report population migration, the demand for medical resources has continually risen, enhancing the industry expansion and societal value of retail pharmacies as a critical channel for pharmaceutical sales. Amid market and policy influences, the retail pharmacy industry has continually optimized its network layout and innovated its business models during the Reporting Period. Digital transformation, industry integration, and the management and service capabilities of retail pharmacies have all seen significant enhancements. In October 2021, the Ministry of Commerce issued the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Pharmaceutical Distribution Industry During the 14th Five-Year Plan Period". The document envisions that (1) five to ten specialized and diversified pharmaceutical retailers with a revenue of more than CN50 billion will be nurtured by 2025; (2) the annual sales of the top 100 enterprises in the pharmaceutical retail industry will account for more than 65% of the total market value of the pharmaceutical retail industry; and (3) pharmaceutical retail chain stores will account for nearly 70% of all stores. In September 2022, the State Administration for Market Regulation released the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Online Sale of Medicinal Products," further standardizing online pharmaceutical sales and services on pharmaceutical online trading platforms. These regulations clarified the management of online pharmaceutical sales, platform responsibilities, supervisory measures, and legal liabilities, further standardizing online pharmaceutical circulation and promoting regulated development and healthy competition within the industry. In February 2023, the National Healthcare Security Administration issued the "Notice on Further Integrating Designated Retail Pharmacies into the Outpatient Management Fund System." This notification emphasized the importance of including designated retail pharmacies in outpatient fund management, using the outpatient fund to expand medical and pharmaceutical service supply, and thus releasing benefits of the reform of medicine and healthcare system. It urged government BMI authorities at all levels to take effective measures to encourage eligible designated retail pharmacies to voluntarily offer outpatient management services. The notification also specified improvements to the payment policies for outpatient management at designated retail pharmacies and clarified supporting policies for inclusion. 1.

Compared to other sectors within general retail, the pharmaceutical retail industry exhibits weaker economic cyclicality. However, due to the time-sensitivity, convenience, and regional variations in consumer habits associated with pharmaceuticals, the industry displays distinct regional characteristics. Enterprises boasting extensive store networks, standardized management, and robust systematic replication capabilities enjoy significant competitive advantages in the market. 4.

Digital 42 / 329 2023 Annual Report transition and upgrading of businesses accelerated integration in the industry, and the service model of “online + offline” whole-lifecycle health management has become new trends of the industry. (1) Health expenditure has been rising year by year, and the health industry as a whole has been expanding. According to the "Report on the Execution of the Central and Local Budgets for 2022 and the Draft Budgets for 2023" issued by the National People's Congress, the total national general public budget expenditure for 2023 is planned to be CN27.513 trillion, with health and wellness expenditures accounting for 8.8%, totaling CN2.4211 trillion. According to the "Statistical Communiquéof the People's Republic of China on the 2023 National Economic and Social Development" by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, per capita healthcare expenditure among residents in 2023 was CN2,460, accounting for 9.2% of total consumer spending and ranking fifth. By the end of 2023, the total number of individuals enrolled in BMI nationwide reached 1,333.87 million, with 370.94 million covered under employee BMI and 962.93 million under urban and rural residents' BMI; 249.07 million were enrolled in maternity insurance. (2) The healthcare reform oriented towards “separation of prescribing and dispensing” has brought a new incremental market for the pharmaceutical retail industry. As the reform of medical care, BMI and pharmaceutical industry is being rolled out, policies on public hospital reform, expense control of government BMI, drug consistency evaluation, volume-based procurement, and Internet + medical care have been introduced and implemented. The policy of including designated retail pharmacies in the overall outpatient service management has been carried out widely. Hospital prescription outflow (from public hospitals into pharmaceutical retail channel) is speeding up. The separation of prescribing and dispensing starts gaining results, and the pharmaceutical retail industry has ushered in a new incremental market. (3) The industry is witnessing higher concentration driven by industrial policies and capital. The "Guiding Opinions of the Ministry of Commerce on Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Pharmaceutical Distribution Industry During the 14th Five-Year Plan Period" envisions that (1) five to ten specialized and diversified pharmaceutical retailers with a revenue of more than CN50 billion will be nurtured by 2025; (2) the annual sales of the top 100 enterprises in the pharmaceutical retail industry will account for more than 65% of the total market value of the pharmaceutical retail industry; and (3) pharmaceutical retail chain stores will account for nearly 70% of all stores. These Guiding Opinions provide strong policy support for increasing concentration in China’s pharmaceutical retail industry. (4) As the Internet Plus action plan is rolled out and cross-cover integration models are applied, pharmaceutical distribution channels and development models have been continuously improved and innovated. The new pharmaceutical retail model, which develops both online and offline, is led by offline physical pharmacies and centered on big data and member management, bringing new vitality to the industry. Retail pharmacies are actively pursuing specialized, digital, and intelligent transformation pathways, broadening their service offerings to include health check-ups, chronic disease self-testing, pharmaceutical services, and chronic disease management. They provide consultation services and 43 / 329 2023 Annual Report follow-up visits for patients requiring specialty medications, gradually transitioning from a commodity sales-centered model to a consumer service-centered approach.

(III). Business plan "√ Applicable" "□ Not applicable" 1. Store network expansion plan Under the strategic framework of "regional concentration and steady expansion," the Company continues to refine and extend its strategies through the synchronized development of "new openings + M&A + franchising". By leveraging iterative site selection mechanisms (commercial area positioning method), customer flow testing systems, and sales forecast models, the Company persistently enhances the precision of store locations, improving the efficiency and quality of site selection. This approach deepens and broadens the store network's coverage, achieving a rational and efficient store network layout and steadily increasing regional market share and concentration. 2.

(IV). Potential risks "√ Applicable" "□ Not applicable" 1. Industry policy risk The development of the pharmaceutical retail industry is regulated and affected by national policies. As China’s administration standards for the pharmaceutical retail industry have been raised year by year, business operations are facing higher requirements. As the new healthcare reform goes deeper, policies such as the public hospital reform, public hospital zero drug market-ups, the two-invoice system, BMI payment methods, and the reform of personal BMI accounts have been rolled out in full swing. At the same time, industry regulation is increasingly stringent. If the Company’s business management and internal operation system cannot be promptly adjusted against regulatory and industry policies, the Company is likely to face business risks. Responses: The Company will closely monitor changes in national policies and enhance the understanding of industry guidelines. It will plan and respond in a forward-looking way. It will seize the 45 / 329 2023 Annual Report opportunities and rise to the challenges from changes in the industry by (1) adjusting its business and management model, (2) upgrading its internal standardized governance, and (3) promoting professional services among employees and innovating in merchandises and the business model. 2. Drug safety risks Drug safety encompasses all stages of drug production, sales, distribution, and use, with potential risks arising at any stage. The procurement of drugs from numerous manufacturers and wholesalers presents a risk if the Company fails to promptly detect quality or safety issues. This could result in liabilities and adversely affect the Company's brand reputation. Response measures include continuously enhancing and strictly enforcing the Company's inventory management systems and strengthening GSP quality management standards. Through proactive testing and other measures, the Company intensifies the quality assessment and management of suppliers, particularly for newly introduced products. The Company's quality management department consistently bolsters training, coaching, inspection, and evaluation of store employees. 3. Risk of more intense market competition China’s pharmaceutical retail industry is characterized by a low market concentration, and the industry is highly competitive. In particular, in recent years, large-scale pharmacy chains in the industry have expanded their marketing network to other regions through organic expansion and M&A. The industry has seen higher market concentration, and the competition among retail pharmacies has become fiercer. Some large national and regional chains are emerging. They are growing rapidly on the back of their advantages in capital, brand, and supply chain management. At the same time, with the continuous development of primary-level healthcare institutions, consumer groups that shop most on the Internet and mobile terminals are gradually coming into being. Competition among retailers is becoming increasingly fierce. Through the years, the Company has accumulated numerous consumers, marketing channels, and upstream suppliers, gained high brand visibility and reputation, and achieved a leading edge in the markets of Central South, East, and North China. However, with market changes and intensified competition, it is a new challenge for the Company to further expand its market share and profitability in its dominant regions. Responses: First, the Company will continue to strengthen its advantage: refined, systematic and digital management. Secondly, the Company will accelerate the expansion of its store network and focused development through “new openings + M&A + franchising”. At the same time, the Company will embrace market changes and innovate its business model. It will seek development both online and offline through the trials and promotion of the online-offline-integrated new retail model. It will pilot initiatives such as developing the new business format of health pharmacy through health management services and business extension, so as to continuously improve the Company’s overall competitive strength and maintain and expand its regional competitive advantages. 4. Risk of rapid expansion affecting short-term performance The Company’s business is still concentrated in Central South, East, and North China. It may face the risks of saturated markets and intensified competition in the proposed expansion regions. In 46 / 329 2023 Annual Report proposed expansion regions that are unsaturated, it may face the risk of declining average store sales revenue as the regions are remote or have a small market or a poor business environment. In the future, the Company intends to implement the development strategy of “expanding across the country.” In expanding its business beyond Central South, East, and North China, it may face challenges in brand promotion, marketing, store location, merchandise procurement, logistics, and distribution. There is uncertainty as to whether the above business expansion can achieve the expected results. Moreover, in the early stage of investment, the Company’s expenses in this regard may grow faster than revenue, which may have a negative impact on the Company’s short-term financial performance. Responses: Firstly, the Company will consolidate its basic capabilities to continue to improve its systematic, standardized, intelligent, and refined management system and to enhance its control and replication ability in cross-regional operations. Secondly, the Company will continue to improve store profitability by optimizing the merchandise structure, reducing procurement costs, and innovating in the business model. At the same time, the Company will develop appropriate business expansion plans based on the scale of development to balance business expansion and current earnings growth. 5. Risk of acquired stores’ business failing expectations Against the general trend of M&A in the industry, the Company has developed the expansion strategy of “new openings + M&A + franchising”. The Company’s previous M&A projects have all achieved performance expectations. Nevertheless, the profitability of M&A projects is affected by multiple factors such as the policy environment, market demand, and operations. In the event of significant adverse changes in policies, changes in the purchasing habits of consumers, or major adverse events that cannot be resisted in the future, the acquired stores’ business may fail expectations, resulting a risk of goodwill impairment, which will adversely affect the Company’s performance and cause losses to all shareholders. Responses: First, the Company will strengthen the audit and assessment of the M&A targets, and strictly select M&A targets that present excellent qualifications and complement with the Company in the market. Secondly, the Company will establish a professional M&A integration team to standardize and streamline M&A integration and operational management in later stages. In this way, it will seamlessly integrate the M&A target with the Company’s team culture, management system, and supply chain system, and ensure the continuous improvement of the operating performance of the acquired stores. 6. Risk of dilution of human resources as a result of the Company’s rapid development A professional management team is one of the core elements of the Company’s sustainable, healthy, and efficient operation. In the course of rapid development, if the Company fails to meet the needs of its future rapid development in talent introduction and personnel training, or if there are failures in talent appointment, pooling, or management leading to a loss of talent, it will adversely affect the Company’s future expansion and business operations. Responses: The Company will intensify its efforts in recruitment, talent pooling, and personnel training. It will co-host the Yifeng Pharmacy Class with universities and colleges to meet the demand for 47 / 329 2023 Annual Report frontline professional workers at stores. It will launch the Management Trainee program to meet the demand for middle and senior managers for the rapid development of the Company. It will improve its employee career development channels and equity incentive mechanism to retain and attract experts. It will improve the training system and nurture professionals and people with compound capabilities in pharmacy, marketing, information, logistics, and management to meet the demand for human resources for the Company’s rapid development.

Audit report Applicable Not Applicable Auditor’s Report PCCPAAR [2024] No.2-298 To the Shareholders of Yifeng Pharmacy Chain Co.,Ltd.: I. Audit Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Yifeng Pharmacy Chain Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated and parent company balance sheets as at December 31, 2023, the consolidated and parent company income statements, consolidated and parent company cash flow statements, and consolidated and parent company statements of changes in equity for the year then ended, as well as notes to financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. II. Basis for Audit Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with China Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Certified Public Accountant’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the China Code of Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, and we have fulfilled other ethical responsibilities. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 136 / 329 III. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not express a separate opinion on these matters. (I) Revenue recognition 1. Key audit matters Please refer to section III (XXIII), V (II) 1 and XV (I) 2of notes to the financial statements for details. The Company is mainly engaged in medical sales business. In 2023, the operating revenue amounted to 22,588.23 million yuan, of which the operating revenue from medical sales business was 19,275.05 million yuan, accounting for 85.33% of the total operating revenue. As operating revenue is the key performance indicators of the Company, there might be inherent risks that the Company’s management (the “Management”) adopts inappropriate revenue recognition to achieve specific goals or expectations. As the inherent risk of misstatement is high, we have identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter. 2. Responsive audit procedures Our main audit procedures for revenue recognition are as follows: (1) We obtained understandings of key internal controls related to revenue recognition, assessed the design of these controls, determined whether they had been executed, and tested the effectiveness of the operation; (2) We checked sales contracts, obtained understandings of main contractual terms or conditions, and assessed whether the revenue recognition method was appropriate; (3) We performed analysis procedure on operating revenue and gross margin by month, product, store, etc., so as to identify whether there are significant or abnormal fluctuations and find out the reason; 137 / 329 (4) For revenue from pharmaceutical wholesale, we checked supporting documents related to selected items, including sales contracts, orders, sales invoices, outbound delivery orders, delivery notes, shipping documents, delivery receipts, etc.; (5) We performed rationality analysis procedure on revenue from pharmaceutical retail, including UPT and ATV, and checked businesses with their sales details, payment records, accounting treatments, etc. to assess whether there are abnormal sales; (6) We cross-checked the data of information system, including drug retail business management system and business processes of SAP information system; (7) We checked bank transaction flows, bank statements, and reconciliation table for outstanding accounts, and verified sales return records; (8) We performed confirmation procedures on accounts receivable with large amount (mainly from wholesale customers), revenue from promotional service fees and wholesale business with large amount, and checked sales return records subsequent to the balance sheet date; (9) We performed cut-off tests to check whether the revenue was recognized in the appropriate period; and (10) We checked whether information related to operating revenue had been presented appropriately in the financial statements. (II) Impairment of goodwill 1. Key audit matters Please refer to section III (XVIII) and V (I) 18 of notes to the financial statements for details. As of December 31, 2023, the cost of goodwill amounted to 4,612.85 million yuan, with provision for impairment of 2.30 million yuan, and the carrying amount amounted to 4,610.55 million yuan. For asset group or asset group portfolio related to goodwill, the Management will perform impairment test on goodwill together with related asset group or asset group portfolio, and the recoverable amount of related asset group or asset group portfolio is determined based on the estimated present value of future cash flows. As the amount 138 / 329 of goodwill is significant and impairment test involves significant judgment of the Management, we have identified impairment of goodwill as a key audit matter. 2. Responsive audit procedures Our main audit procedures for impairment of goodwill are as follows: (1) We obtained understandings of key internal controls related to impairment of goodwill, assessed the design of these controls, determined whether they had been executed, and tested the effectiveness of the operation; (2) We reviewed the outcome of the Management’s previous estimates on the present value of future cash flows or their subsequent re-estimations; (3) We assessed the competency, professional quality and objectivity of external appraisers engaged by the Management; (4) We assessed the appropriateness and consistency of impairment test method adopted by the Management; (5) We assessed the appropriateness of significant assumptions used in impairment test and reviewed whether relevant assumptions were consistent with overall economy environment, industry condition, management situation, historical experience, operation plan, approved budget, meeting summary, assumptions used in other accounting estimates and related assumptions used in other areas of business activities; (6) We assessed the appropriateness, relevance and reliability of data used by the Management in the impairment test and reviewed the consistency of related information in the impairment test; (7) We tested whether the Management’s calculation of present value of estimated future cash flows was accurate; (8) We checked whether information related to impairment of goodwill had been presented appropriately in the financial statements. 139 / 329 IV. Other Information The Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. V. Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements The Management is responsible for preparing and presenting fairly the financial statements in accordance with China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, as well as designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. 140 / 329 VI. Certified Public Accountant’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with China Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit performed in accordance with China Standards on Auditing. We also: (I) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. (II) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. (III) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management. (IV) Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. 141 / 329 (V) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. (VI) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain sole responsibility for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding the planned audit scope, time schedule and significant audit findings, including any deficiencies in internal control of concern that we identify during our audit. 142 / 329 We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Pan-China Certified Public Accountants LLP Chinese Certified Public Accountant: (Engagement Partner) Hangzhou China Chinese Certified Public Accountant: Date of Report: April, 26, 2024 The auditor’s report and the accompanying financial statements are English translations of the Chinese auditor’s report and statutory financial statements prepared under accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the People’s Republic of China. These financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and financial performance and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in other countries and jurisdictions. In case the English version does not conform to the Chinese version, the Chinese version prevails. 143 / 329 II.

Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets are classified into the following three categories when initially recognized: (1) financial assets at amortized cost; (2) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; (3) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified into the following four categories when initially recognized: (1) financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; (2) financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies; (3) financial guarantee contracts not fall within the above categories (1) and (2), and commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, which do not fall within the above category (1); (4) financial liabilities at amortized cost. 2. Recognition criteria, measurement method and derecognition condition of financial assets and financial liabilities (1) Recognition criteria and measurement method of financial assets and financial liabilities When the Company becomes a party to a financial instrument, it is recognized as a financial asset or financial liability. The financial assets and financial liabilities initially recognized by the Company are measured at fair value; for the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction expenses thereof are directly included in profit or loss; for other categories of financial assets and financial liabilities, the transaction expenses thereof are included into the initially recognized amount. However, at initial recognition, for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component or in circumstances where the Company does not consider the financing components in contracts within one year, they are measured at the transaction price in accordance with “CASBE 14 – Revenues”. 169 / 329 (2) Subsequent measurement of financial assets 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost The Company measures its financial assets at the amortized costs using effective interest method. Gains or losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and are not part of hedging relationships shall be included into profit or loss when the financial assets are derecognized, reclassified, amortized using effective interest method or recognized with impairment loss. 2) Debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income The Company measures its debt instrument investments at fair value. Interests, impairment gains or losses, and gains and losses on foreign exchange that calculated using effective interest method shall be included into profit or loss, while other gains or losses are included into other comprehensive income. Accumulated gains or losses that initially recognized as other comprehensive income should be transferred out into profit or loss when the financial assets are derecognized. 3) Equity instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income The Company measures its equity instrument investments at fair value. Dividends obtained (other than those as part of investment cost recovery) shall be included into profit or loss, while other gains or losses are included into other comprehensive income. Accumulated gains or losses that initially recognized as other comprehensive income should be transferred out into retained earnings when the financial assets are derecognized. 4) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss The Company measures its financial assets at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value (including interests and dividends) shall be included into profit or loss, except for financial assets that are part of hedging relationships. (3) Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities 1) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives that are liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss. The Company measures such kind of liabilities at fair value. The amount of changes in the fair value of the financial liabilities that are attributable to changes in the Company’s own credit risk shall be included into other comprehensive income, unless such treatment would create or enlarge accounting mismatches in profit or loss. Other gains or losses on those financial liabilities (including interests, changes in fair value that are attributable to reasons other than changes in the Company’s own credit risk) shall be included into profit or loss, except for financial liabilities that are part of hedging relationships. Accumulated gains or losses that originally recognized as other comprehensive income should be transferred out into retained earnings when the financial liabilities are derecognized. 170 / 329 2) Financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies The Company measures its financial liabilities in accordance with “CASBE 23 – Transfer of Financial Assets”. 3) Financial guarantee contracts not fall within the above categories 1) and 2), and commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, which do not fall within the above category 1) The Company measures its financial liabilities at the higher of: a. the amount of loss allowances in accordance with impairment requirements of financial instruments; b. the amount initially recognized less the amount of accumulated amortization recognized in accordance with “CASBE 14 – Revenues”. 4) Financial liabilities at amortized cost The Company measures its financial liabilities at amortized cost using effective interest method. Gains or losses on financial liabilities that are measured at amortized cost and are not part of hedging relationships shall be included into profit or loss when the financial liabilities are derecognized and amortized using effective interest method. (4) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities 1) Financial assets are derecognized when: a. the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire; or b. the financial assets have been transferred and the transfer qualifies for derecognition in accordance with “CASBE 23 – Transfer of Financial Assets”. 2) Only when the underlying present obligations of a financial liability are relieved totally or partly may the financial liability be derecognized accordingly. 3. Recognition criteria and measurement method of financial assets transfer Where the Company has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset, it derecognizes the financial asset, and any right or liability arising from such transfer is recognized independently as an asset or a liability. If it retained substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset, it continues recognizing the financial asset. Where the Company does not transfer or retain substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of a financial asset, it is dealt with according to the circumstances as follows respectively: (1) if the Company does not retain its control over the financial asset, it derecognizes the financial asset, and any right or liability arising from such transfer is recognized independently as an asset or a liability; (2) if the Company retains its control over the financial asset, according to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset, it recognizes the related financial asset and recognizes the relevant liability accordingly. 171 / 329 If the transfer of an entire financial asset satisfies the conditions for derecognition, the difference between the amounts of the following two items is included in profit or loss: (1) the carrying amount of the transferred financial asset as of the date of derecognition; (2) the sum of consideration received from the transfer of the financial asset, and the accumulative amount of the changes of the fair value originally included in other comprehensive income proportionate to the transferred financial asset (financial assets transferred refer to debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income). If the transfer of financial asset partially satisfies the conditions to derecognition, the entire carrying amount of the transferred financial asset is, between the portion which is derecognized and the portion which is not, apportioned according to their respective relative fair value, and the difference between the amounts of the following two items is included into profit or loss: (1) the carrying amount of the portion which is derecognized; (2) the sum of consideration of the portion which is derecognized, and the portion of the accumulative amount of the changes in the fair value originally included in other comprehensive income which is corresponding to the portion which is derecognized (financial assets transferred refer to debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income). 4. Fair value determination method of financial assets and liabilities The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data and information are available to measure fair value. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are arranged in the following hierarchy and used accordingly: (1) Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date; (2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals; market-corroborated inputs; (3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs include interest rate that is not observable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data at commonly quoted intervals, historical volatility, future cash flows to be paid to fulfill the disposal obligation assumed in business combination, financial forecast developed using the Company’s own data, etc. 5. Impairment of financial instruments The Company, on the basis of expected credit loss, recognizes loss allowances of financial assets at amortized cost, debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets, leases receivable, loan commitments other than financial liabilities at fair value 172 / 329 through profit or loss, financial guarantee contracts not belong to financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies. Expected credit losses refer to the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Credit loss refers to the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate. Among which, purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets are discounted at the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. At the balance sheet date, the Company shall only recognize the cumulative changes in the lifetime expected credit losses since initial recognition as a loss allowance for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets. For leases receivable, and accounts receivable and contract assets resulting from transactions regulated in “CASBE 14 – Revenues”, the Company chooses simplified approach to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. For accounts receivable and contract assets resulting from transactions regulated in “CASBE 14 – Revenues”, the Company chooses simplified approach to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. For financial assets other than the above, on each balance sheet date, the Company shall assess whether the credit risk on the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company shall measure the loss allowance for the financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition; otherwise, the Company shall measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit loss. Considering reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition, so as to assess whether the credit risk on the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company may assume that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have relatively low credit risk at the balance sheet date. The Company shall estimate expected credit risk and measure expected credit losses on an individual or a collective basis. When the Company adopts the collective basis, financial instruments are grouped with similar credit risk features. 173 / 329 The Company shall remeasure expected credit loss on each balance sheet date, and increased or reversed amounts of loss allowance arising therefrom shall be included into profit or loss as impairment losses or gains. For a financial asset measured at amortized cost, the loss allowance reduces the carrying amount of such financial asset presented in the balance sheet; for a debt investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance shall be recognized in other comprehensive income and shall not reduce the carrying amount of such financial asset. 6. Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet and are not offset. However, the Company offsets a financial asset and a financial liability and presents the net amount in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company: (1) currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and (2) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. For a transfer of a financial asset that does not qualify for derecognition, the Company does not offset the transferred asset and the associated liability. 12.

Amortization method of low-value consumables and packages Low-value consumables are amortized with one-off method. Basis for determining inventory depreciation reserves Applicable Not Applicable At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value; provisions for inventory write-down are made on the excess of its cost over the net realizable value. The net realizable value of inventories held for sale is determined based on the amount of the estimated selling price less the estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes and surcharges in the ordinary course of business; the net realizable value of inventories to be processed is 177 / 329 determined based on the amount of the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion, selling expenses and relevant taxes and surcharges in the ordinary course of business; at the balance sheet date, when only part of the same item of inventories have agreed price, their net realizable value are determined separately and are compared with their costs to set the provision for inventory write-down to be made or reversed.

Non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale Applicable Not Applicable 178 / 329 Recognition criteria and accounting treatment of non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale Applicable Not Applicable Recognition criteria and presentation method of discontinued operations Applicable Not Applicable 19. Long-term equity investments Applicable Not Applicable 1. Judgment of joint control and significant influence Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control of these policies. 2. Determination of investment cost (1) For business combination under common control, if the consideration of the combining party is that it makes payment in cash, transfers non-cash assets, assumes its liabilities or issues equity securities, on the date of combination, it regards the share of the carrying amount of the equity of the combined party included in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party as the initial cost of the investment. The difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investments and the carrying amount of the combination consideration paid or the par value of shares issued offsets capital reserve; if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. When long-term equity investments are obtained through business combination under common control achieved in stages, the Company determines whether it is a “bundled transaction”. If it is a “bundled transaction”, stages as a whole are considered as one transaction in accounting treatment. If it is not a “bundled transaction”, on the date of combination, investment cost is initially recognized at the share of the carrying amount of net assets of the combined party included the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party. The difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments at the acquisition date and the carrying amount of the previously held long-term equity investments plus the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the newly acquired equity is adjusted to capital reserve; if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. (2) For business combination not under common control, investment cost is initially recognized at the acquisition-date fair value of considerations paid. When long-term equity investments are obtained through business combination not under common control achieved in stages, the Company determined whether they are stand-alone financial statements or consolidated financial statements in accounting treatment: 179 / 329 1) In the case of stand-alone financial statements, investment cost is initially recognized at the carrying amount of the previously held long-term equity investments plus the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the newly acquired equity. 2) In the case of consolidated financial statements, the Company determines whether it is a “bundled transaction”. If it is a “bundled transaction”, stages as a whole are considered as one transaction in accounting treatment. If it is not a “bundled transaction”, the carrying amount of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at the acquisition-date fair value, and the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognized in investment income; when the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree involves other comprehensive income under equity method, the related other comprehensive income is reclassified as income for the acquisition period, excluding other comprehensive income arising from changes in net liabilities or assets from remeasurement of defined benefit plan of the acquiree. (3) Long-term equity investments obtained through ways other than business combination: the initial cost of a long-term equity investment obtained by making payment in cash is the purchase cost which is actually paid; that obtained on the basis of issuing equity securities is the fair value of the equity securities issued; that obtained through debt restructuring is determined according to “CASBE 12 – Debt Restructuring”; and that obtained through non-cash assets exchange is determined according to “CASBE 7 – Non-cash Assets Exchange”. 3. Subsequent measurement and recognition method of profit or loss For a long-term equity investment with control relationship, it is accounted for with cost method; for a long-term equity investment with joint control or significant influence relationship, it is accounted for with equity method. 4. Disposal of a subsidiary in stages resulting in the Company’s loss of control (1) Judgement principles of “bundled transaction” For disposal of a subsidiary in stages resulting in the Company’s loss of control, the Company determines whether it is a “bundled transaction” based on the agreement terms for each stage, disposal consideration obtained separately, object of the equity sold, disposal method, disposal time point, etc. If the terms, conditions and economic effect of each transaction meet one or more of the following conditions, these transactions are usually considered as a “bundled transaction”: 1) these transactions are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of each other; 2) these transactions form a single transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect; 3) the occurrence of one transaction is dependent on the occurrence of at least one other transaction; and 180 / 329 4) one transaction considered on its own is not economically justified, but it is economically justified when considered together with other transactions. (2) Accounting treatments of non-bundled transactions 1) Stand-alone financial statements The difference between the carrying amount of the disposed equity and the consideration obtained thereof is recognized in profit or loss. If the disposal does not result in the Company’s loss of significant influence or joint control, the remained equity is accounted for with equity method; however, if the disposal results in the Company’s loss of control, joint control, or significant influence, the remained equity is accounted for according to “CASBE 22 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. 2) Consolidated financial statements Before the Company’s loss of control, the difference between the disposal consideration and the proportionate share of net assets in the disposed subsidiary from acquisition date or combination date to the disposal date is adjusted to capital reserve (capital premium), if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. When the Company loses control, the remained equity is remeasured at the loss-of-control-date fair value. The aggregated value of disposal consideration and the fair value of the remained equity, less the share of net assets in the disposed subsidiary held before the disposal from the acquisition date or combination date to the disposal date is recognized in investment income in the period when the Company loses control over such subsidiary, and meanwhile goodwill is offset correspondingly. Other comprehensive income related to equity investments in former subsidiary is reclassified as investment income upon the Company’s loss of control. (3) Accounting treatment of bundled transaction 1) Stand-alone financial statements Stages as a whole are considered as one transaction resulting in loss of control in accounting treatment. However, before the Company loses control over a subsidiary, the difference between the disposal consideration at each stage and the carrying amount of long-term equity investments corresponding to the disposed investments is recognized as other comprehensive income at the stand-alone financial statements and reclassified as profit or loss in the period when the Company loses control over such subsidiary. 2) Consolidated financial statements Stages as a whole are considered as one transaction resulting in loss of control in accounting treatment. However, before the Company loses control over a subsidiary, the difference between the disposal consideration at each stage and the proportionate share of net assets in the disposed subsidiary is recognized as other comprehensive income at the consolidated financial statements and reclassified as profit or loss in the period when the Company loses control over such 181 / 329 subsidiary. 20. Investment property Applicable Not Applicable 21. Fixed assets 1. Recognition principles of fixed assets Applicable Not Applicable Fixed assets are tangible assets held for use in the production of goods or rendering of services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and expected to be used during more than one accounting year. Fixed assets are recognized if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the assets will flow to the Company and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably. 2. Depreciation method of different categories of fixed assets Applicable Not Applicable Annual Depreciation Useful life Residual value Categories depreciation rate method (years) proportion (%) (%) Buildings and Straight-line 20-30 5 3.17-4.75 structures method Straight-line Machinery 10 5 9.50 method Straight-line Office equipment 5 5 19.00 method Electronic Straight-line 3 5 31.67 equipment method Straight-line Transport facilities 10 5 9.50 method 22. Construction in progress Applicable Not Applicable 1. Construction in progress is recognized if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company, and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Construction in progress is measured at the actual cost incurred to reach its designed usable conditions. 2. Construction in progress is transferred into fixed assets at its actual cost when it reaches the designed usable conditions. When the auditing of the construction in progress was not finished while reaching the designed usable conditions, it is transferred to fixed assets using estimated value first, and then adjusted accordingly when the actual cost is settled, but the accumulated depreciation is not to be adjusted retrospectively. 23. Borrowing costs Applicable Not Applicable 1. Recognition principle of borrowing costs capitalization 182 / 329 Where the borrowing costs incurred to the Company can be directly attributable to the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, it is capitalized and included in the costs of relevant assets; other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses on the basis of the actual amount incurred, and are included in profit or loss. 2. Borrowing costs capitalization period (1) The borrowing costs are not capitalized unless the following requirements are all met: 1) the asset disbursements have already incurred; 2) the borrowing costs have already incurred; and 3) the acquisition and construction or production activities which are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have already started. (2) Suspension of capitalization: where the acquisition and construction or production of a qualified asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption period lasts for more than 3 months, the capitalization of the borrowing costs is suspended; the borrowing costs incurred during such period are recognized as expenses, and are included in profit or loss, till the acquisition and construction or production of the asset restarts. (3) Ceasing of capitalization: when the qualified asset under acquisition and construction or production is ready for the intended use or sale, the capitalization of the borrowing costs is ceased. 3. Capitalization rate and capitalized amount of borrowing costs For borrowings exclusively for the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, the to-be-capitalized amount of interests is determined in light of the actual interest expenses incurred (including amortization of premium or discount based on effective interest method) of the special borrowings in the current period less the interest income on the unused borrowings as a deposit in the bank or as a temporary investment; where a general borrowing is used for the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, the Company calculates and determines the to-be-capitalized amount of interests on the general borrowing by multiplying the weighted average asset disbursement of the part of the accumulative asset disbursements less the general borrowing by the capitalization rate of the general borrowing used. 24. Biological assets Applicable Not Applicable 25. Oil and gas assets Applicable Not Applicable 26. Intangible assets (1) Useful life and its determination basis, estimation, amortization method, or review procedures Applicable Not Applicable 183 / 329 1. Intangible assets include land use right, software, trademark, use right of pharmaceutical licensing qualifications etc. The initial measurement of intangible assets is based on its cost. 2. For intangible assets with finite useful lives, their amortization amounts are amortized within their useful lives systematically and reasonably, if it is unable to determine the expected realization pattern reliably, intangible assets are amortized by the straight-line method with details as follows: Items Amortization period (years) Land use right 40-50 Software 5-10 Trademark 5-10 Use right of pharmaceutical 10 licensing qualifications (2) Permitted scope and accounting treatment of R&D costs Applicable Not Applicable (1) Personnel costs Personnel costs include wages and salaries, basic endowment insurance premiums, basic medical insurance premiums, unemployment insurance premiums, occupational injuries premiums, maternity premiums and housing provident funds for the Company’s R&D personnel, as well as labor costs for external R&D personnel. (2) Direct input costs Direct input costs refer to relevant expenses actually incurred by the Company for R&D activities. (3) Depreciation and long-term prepayments Depreciation refers to the depreciation of instruments, equipment and in-use buildings used for R&D activities. (4) Amortization of intangible assets Amortization of intangible assets refer to the amortization of software, intellectual property, and non-patented technology (proprietary technology, licenses, design and calculation methods, etc.) used for R&D activities. (5) Other expenses Other expenses refer to expenses other than those mentioned above that are directly related to R&D activities. Expenditures on the research phase of an internal project are recognized as profit or loss when they are incurred. An intangible asset arising from the development phase of an internal project is recognized if the Company can demonstrate all of the followings: (1) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; (2) its intention to 184 / 329 complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (3) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, among other things, the Company can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset; (4) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and (5) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. 27. Impairment of part of long-term assets Applicable Not Applicable For long-term assets such as long-term equity investments, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets, intangible assets with finite useful lives, etc., if at the balance sheet date there is indication of impairment, the recoverable amount is to be estimated. For goodwill recognized in business combination and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, no matter whether there is indication of impairment, impairment test is performed annually. Impairment test on goodwill is performed on related asset group or asset group portfolio. When the recoverable amount of such long-term assets is lower than their carrying amount, the difference is recognized as provision for assets impairment through profit or loss. 28. Long-term prepayments Applicable Not Applicable Long-term prepayments are expenses that have been recognized but with amortization period over one year (excluding one year). They are recorded with actual cost, and evenly amortized within the beneficiary period or stipulated period. If items of long-term prepayments fail to be beneficial to the following accounting periods, residual values of such items are included in profit or loss. 29. Contract liabilities Applicable Not Applicable The Company presents an obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer as a contract liability. 30. Employee benefits (1). Accounting treatments of short-term employee benefits Applicable Not Applicable The Company recognizes, in the accounting period in which an employee provides service, short-term employee benefits actually incurred as liabilities, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset. (2). Accounting treatments of post-employment benefits Applicable Not Applicable 185 / 329 The Company classifies post-employment benefit plans as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. (1) The Company recognizes in the accounting period in which an employee provides service the contribution payable to a defined contribution plan as a liability, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset. (2) Accounting treatment by the Company for defined benefit plan usually involves the following steps: 1) In accordance with the projected unit credit method, using unbiased and mutually compatible actuarial assumptions to estimate related demographic variables and financial variables, measure the obligations under the defined benefit plan, and determine the periods to which the obligations are attributed. Meanwhile, the Company discounts obligations under the defined benefit plan to determine the present value of the defined benefit plan obligations and the current service cost; 2) When a defined benefit plan has assets, the Company recognizes the deficit or surplus by deducting the fair value of defined benefit plan assets from the present value of the defined benefit plan obligation as a net defined benefit plan liability or net defined benefit plan asset. When a defined benefit plan has a surplus, the Company measures the net defined benefit plan asset at the lower of the surplus in the defined benefit plan and the asset ceiling; 3) At the end of the period, the Company recognizes the following components of employee benefits cost arising from defined benefit plan: a. service cost; b. net interest on the net defined benefit plan liability (asset); and c. changes as a result of remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability (asset). Item a and item b are recognized in profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset. Item c is recognized in other comprehensive income and is not to be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. However, the Company may transfer those amounts recognized in other comprehensive income within equity. (3). Accounting treatments of Termination benefits Applicable Not Applicable Termination benefits provided to employees are recognized as an employee benefit liability for termination benefits, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss at the earlier of the following dates: (1) when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal; or (2) when the Company recognizes cost or expenses related to a restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits. (4). Accounting treatments of Other long-term employee benefits Applicable Not Applicable When other long-term employee benefits provided to the employees satisfied the conditions for classifying as a defined contribution plan, those benefits are accounted for in accordance with the 186 / 329 requirements relating to defined contribution plan, while other benefits are accounted for in accordance with the requirements relating to defined benefit plan. The Company recognizes the cost of employee benefits arising from other long-term employee benefits as the followings: (1) service cost; (2) net interest on the net liability or net assets of other long-term employee benefits; and (3) changes as a result of remeasurement of the net liability or net assets of other long-term employee benefits. As a practical expedient, the net total of the aforesaid amounts is recognized in profit or loss or included in the cost of a relevant asset. 31. Provisions Applicable Not Applicable 1. Provisions are recognized when fulfilling the present obligations arising from contingencies such as providing guarantee for other parties, litigation, products quality guarantee, onerous contract, etc., may cause the outflow of the economic benefit and such obligations can be reliably measured. 2. The initial measurement of provisions is based on the best estimated expenditures required in fulfilling the present obligations, and its carrying amount is reviewed at the balance sheet date. 32. Share-based payment Applicable Not Applicable 1. Types of share-based payment Share-based payment consists of equity-settled share-based payment and cash-settled share-based payment. 2. Accounting treatment for settlements, modifications and cancellations of share-based payment plans (1) Equity-settled share-based payment For equity-settled share-based payment transaction with employees, if the equity instruments granted vest immediately, the fair value of those equity instruments is measured at grant date and recognized as transaction cost or expense, with a corresponding adjustment in capital reserve; if the equity instruments granted do not vest until the counterparty completes a specified period of service, at the balance sheet date within the vesting period, the fair value of those equity instruments measured at grant date based on the best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest is recognized as transaction cost or expense, with a corresponding adjustment in capital reserve. For equity-settled share-based payment transaction with parties other than employees, if the fair value of the services received can be measured reliably, the fair value is measured at the date the Company receives the service; if the fair value of the services received cannot be measured reliably, but that of equity instruments can be measured reliably, the fair value of the equity 187 / 329 instruments granted measured at the date the Company receives the service is referred to, and recognized as transaction cost or expense, with a corresponding increase in equity. (2) Cash-settled share-based payment For cash-settled share-based payment transactions with employees, if share appreciation rights vest immediately, the fair value of the liability incurred as the acquisition of services is measured at grant date and recognized as transaction cost or expense, with a corresponding increase in liabilities; if share appreciation rights do not vest until the employees have completed a specified period of service, the liability is measured, at each balance sheet date until settled, at the fair value of the share appreciation rights measured at grant date based on the best estimate of the number of share appreciation right expected to vest. (3) Modifications and cancellations of share-based payment plan If the modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Company includes the incremental fair value granted in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted; similarly, if the modification increases the number of equity instruments granted, the Company includes the fair value of the additional equity instruments granted, in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted; if the Company modifies the vesting conditions in a manner that is beneficial to the employee, the Company takes the modified vesting conditions into account. If the modification reduces the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Company does not take into account that decrease in fair value and continue to measure the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments granted; if the modification reduces the number of equity instruments granted to an employee, that reduction is accounted for as a cancellation of that portion of the grant; if the Company modifies the vesting conditions in a manner that is not beneficial to the employee, the Company does not take the modified vesting conditions into account. If the Company cancels or settles a grant of equity instruments during the vesting period (other than that cancelled when the vesting conditions are not satisfied), the Company accounts for the cancellation or settlement as an acceleration of vesting, and therefore recognizes immediately the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. 33. Other financial instruments such as preferred shares and perpetual bonds Applicable Not Applicable Pursuant to CASBEs on financial instruments and “Regulations on Accounting Treatments of Perpetual Bonds” (Cai Kuai [2019] No. 2) issued by the Ministry of Finance, for financial instruments such as convertible bonds etc., the Company classifies a financial instrument or its 188 / 329 components at initial recognition as a financial asset or liability or equity instrument, based on contract terms and economic essence it reveals instead of its legal form, combining with the definitions of financial asset, liability and equity instrument. At the balance sheet date, for a financial instrument classified as an equity instrument, its interest expenditure or dividend distribution is treated as profit distribution, and share repurchase and cancelation are treated as changes in equity; for a financial instrument classified as a financial liability, its interest expenditure or dividend distribution is treated as borrowing expense, and gain or loss on repurchase or redemption is included in profit or loss. 34. Revenue (1). Disclosure of accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition and measurement based on business types Applicable Not Applicable 1. Revenue recognition principles At contract inception, the Company shall assess the contracts and shall identify each performance obligation in the contracts, and determine whether the performance obligation should be satisfied over time or at a point in time. The Company satisfies a performance obligation over time if one of the following criteria is met, otherwise, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time: (1) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the economic benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs; (2) the customer can control goods as they are created by the Company’s performance; (3) goods created during the Company’s performance have irreplaceable uses and the Company has an enforceable right to the payments for performance completed to date during the whole contract period. For each performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company shall recognize revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. In the circumstance that the progress cannot be measured reasonably, but the costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligation are expected to be recovered, the Company shall recognize revenue only to the extent of the costs incurred until it can reasonably measure the progress. For each performance obligation satisfied at a point in time, the Company shall recognize revenue at the time point that the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services. To determine whether the customer has obtained control of goods, the Company shall consider the following indications: (1) the Company has a present right to payments for the goods, i.e., the customer is presently obliged to pay for the goods; (2) the Company has transferred the legal title of the goods to the customer, i.e., the customer has legal title to the goods; (3) the Company has transferred physical possession of the goods to the customer, i.e., the customer has physically possessed the goods; (4) the Company has transferred significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, i.e., the customer has obtained significant risks and rewards of ownership of the 189 / 329 goods; (5) the customer has accepted the goods; (6) other evidence indicating the customer has obtained control over the goods. 2. Revenue measurement principle (1) Revenue is measured at the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties and those expected to be refunded to the customer. (2) If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company shall confirm the best estimate of variable consideration at expected value or the most likely amount. However, the transaction price that includes the amount of variable consideration only to the extent that it is high probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. (3) In the circumstance that the contract contains a significant financing component, the Company shall determine the transaction price based on the price that a customer would have paid for if the customer had paid cash for obtaining control over those goods or services. The difference between the transaction price and the amount of promised consideration is amortized under effective interest method over contractual period. The effects of a significant financing component shall not be considered if the Company expects, at the contract inception, that the period between when the customer obtains control over goods or services and when the customer pays consideration will be one year or less. (4) For contracts containing two or more performance obligations, the Company shall determine the stand-alone selling price at contract inception of the distinct good underlying each performance obligation and allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. 3. Revenue recognition method (1) Retail business The Company’s pharmaceutical retail business is a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time and revenue is recognized when retail stores sell products to the customers via cash payment (including via bank card) or through medical insurance, and the Company has collected the payments or has obtained bank receipts or medical insurance receipts. (2) Wholesale business Wholesale business is a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time, and main customers of wholesale business are pharmaceutical commercial companies. Revenue is recognized when the Company has delivered goods to the buyer as agreed by contract, has obtained delivery notes with 190 / 329 signature of the buyer, and significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer. (3) Rendering of promotional services Rendering of promotional services is a performance obligation satisfied over time. Revenue from rendering of promotional services is recognized when the Company has provided promotional services and has obtained or highly probable to receive payments. (2). Different revenue recognition methods and measurement techniques for similar businesses involving different operating models Applicable Not Applicable 35. Costs of obtaining a contract Applicable Not Applicable The Company presents contract assets or contract liabilities in the balance sheet based on the relationship between its performance obligations and customers’ payments. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract shall offset each other and be presented on a net basis. The Company presents an unconditional right to consideration (i.e., only the passage of time is required before the consideration is due) as a receivable, and presents a right to consideration in exchange for goods that it has transferred to a customer (which is conditional on something other than the passage of time) as a contract asset. The Company presents an obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer as a contract liability. 36. Government grants Applicable Not Applicable 1. Government grants shall be recognized if, and only if, the following conditions are all met: (1) the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to the grants; (2) the grants will be received. Monetary government grants are measured at the amount received or receivable. Non-monetary government grants are measured at fair value, and can be measured at nominal amount in the circumstance that fair value cannot be assessed. 2. Government grants related to assets Government grants related to assets are government grants with which the Company purchases, constructs or otherwise acquires long-term assets under requirements of government. In the circumstances that there is no specific government requirement, the Company shall determine based on the primary condition to acquire the grants, and government grants related to assets are government grants whose primary condition is to construct or otherwise acquire long-term assets. They offset carrying amount of relevant assets, or they are recognized as deferred income. If recognized as deferred income, they are included in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the 191 / 329 useful lives of the relevant assets. Those measured at notional amount are directly included into profit or loss. For assets sold, transferred, disposed or damaged within the useful lives, balance of unamortized deferred income is transferred into profit or loss of the period in which the disposal occurred. 3. Government grants related to income Government grants related to income are government grants other than those related to assets. For government grants that contain both parts related to assets and parts related to income, in which those two parts are blurred, they are thus collectively classified as government grants related to income. For government grants related to income used for compensating the related future cost, expenses or losses, they are recognized as deferred income and included in profit or loss or used to offset relevant cost during the period in which the relevant cost, expenses or losses are recognized; for government grants related to income used for compensating the related cost, expenses or losses incurred to the Company, they are directly included in profit or loss or used to offset relevant cost. 4. Government grants related to the ordinary course of business shall be included into other income or used to offset relevant cost based on business nature, while those not related to the ordinary course of business shall be included into non-operating revenue or expenditures. 37. Deferred tax assets/Deferred tax liabilities Applicable Not Applicable 1. Deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognized based on the difference between the carrying amount and tax base of assets and liabilities (and the difference of the carrying amount and tax base of items not recognized as assets and liabilities but with their tax base being able to be determined according to tax laws) and in accordance with the tax rate applicable to the period during which the assets are expected to be recovered or the liabilities are expected to be settled. 2. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent of the amount of the taxable income, which is most likely to obtain and which can be deducted from the deductible temporary difference. At the balance sheet date, if there is any exact evidence that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized, the deferred tax assets unrecognized in prior periods are recognized. 3. At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow the benefit of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Such reduction is subsequently reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be available. 4. The income tax and deferred tax for the period are treated as income tax expenses or income through profit or loss, excluding those arising from the following circumstances: (1) business 192 / 329 combination; and (2) the transactions or items directly recognized in equity. 5. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities shall offset each other and be presented on a net basis when the following conditions are all met: (1) the Company has the legal right to settle off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; (2) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on either: 1) the same taxable entity; or 2) different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. 38. Leases Applicable Not Applicable Basis for judgment and accounting treatment methods for simplified approach of short-term leases and leases of low-value assets as a lessee. Applicable Not Applicable 1. The Company as lessee At the commencement date, the Company recognizes a lease that has a lease term of 12 months or less as a short-term lease, which shall not contain a purchase option; the Company recognizes a lease as a lease of a low-value asset if the underlying asset is of low value when it is new. If the Company subleases an asset, or expects to sublease an asset, the head lease does not qualify as a lease of a low-value asset. For all short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognized as cost or profit or loss with straight-line method over the lease term. Apart from the above-mentioned short-term leases and leases of low-value assets with simplified approach, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the commencement date. (1) Right-of-use assets The right-of-use asset is measured at cost and the cost shall comprise: 1) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities; 2) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; 3) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and 4) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company depreciates the right-of-use asset using the straight-line method. If it is reasonable to be certain that the ownership of the underlying asset can be acquired by the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of 193 / 329 the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Company depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. (2) Lease liabilities At the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate shall be used. Unrecognized financing expenses, calculated at the difference between the lease payment and its present value, are recognized as interest expenses over the lease term using the discount rate which has been used to determine the present value of lease payment and included in profit or loss. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are included in profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred. After the commencement date, if there is a change in the following items: (a) actual fixed payments; (b) amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees; (c) an index or a rate used to determine lease payments; (d) assessment result or exercise of purchase option, extension option or termination option, the Company remeasures the lease liability based on the present value of lease payments after changes, and adjusts the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset accordingly. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero but there shall be a further reduction in the lease liability, the remaining amount shall be recognized into profit or loss. Classification criteria and accounting treatment methods for leases as a lessor Applicable Not Applicable 2. The Company as lessor At the commencement date, the Company classifies a lease as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Otherwise, it is classified as an operating lease. (1) Operating lease Lease receipts are recognized as lease income with straight-line method over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred shall be capitalized, amortized on the same basis as the recognition of lease income, and included into profit or loss by installments. Variable lease payments related to operating lease which are not included in the lease payment are charged as profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred. (2) Finance lease At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the finance lease payment receivable based on the net investment in the lease (sum of the present value of unguaranteed residual value and lease receipts that are not received at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease), and derecognizes assets held under the finance lease. The Company calculates and recognizes interest income using the interest rate implicit in the lease over the lease 194 / 329 term. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease are charged as profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred. 39. Other significant accounting policies and estimates Applicable Not Applicable Accounting treatment related to share repurchase When the Company repurchases its shares for the purpose of reducing its registered capital or rewarding its employees, if the purchased shares are to be kept as treasury shares, the treasury shares are recorded at the cash distributed to existing shareholders for repurchase; if the purchased shares are to be retired, the difference between the total book value of shares retired and the cash distributed to existing shareholders for repurchase is to reduce capital reserve, or retained earnings when the capital reserve is not enough to reduce. If the Company repurchases vested equity instruments in equity-settled share-based payment transactions with employees, cost of treasury shares granted to employees and capital reserve (other capital reserve) accumulated within the vesting period are to be written off on the payment made to employees, with a corresponding adjustment in capital reserve (share premium). 40. Significant changes in accounting policies and estimates (1). Changes in accounting policies Applicable Not Applicable Contexts and reasons of Financial statement items Amounts affected changes in accounting policies significantly affected Items of balance sheet as at Refer to Other remark December 31, 2022 Refer to Other remark Deferred tax assets -2,862,658.05 Refer to Other remark Undistributed profit -2,862,658.05 Refer to Other remark Items of income statement of 2022 Refer to Other remark Income tax expenses -3,768,840.19 Other remark The Company has adopted the regulations about accounting for deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction to which the initial recognition exemption does not apply in the “Interpretation of China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 16” issued by the Ministry of Finance since January 1, 2023, and makes adjustments on such single transactions occurring between the beginning of the earliest comparative period and the first adoption date accordingly. For taxable and deductible temporary differences associated with lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, provisions associated with decommissioning obligations and corresponding assets arising from such single transactions and presented at the beginning of the earliest comparative period, the cumulative effect of initially applying such regulations shall be 195 / 329 adjusted into retained earnings or other related items at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. Details on adjustments refer to the table above. (2). Changes in accounting estimates Applicable Not Applicable (3).

Risks related to financial instruments 1. Financial instruments risks Applicable Not Applicable In risk management, the Company aims to seek the appropriate balance between the risks and 300 / 329 benefits from its use of financial instruments and to mitigate the adverse effects that the risks of financial instruments have on the Company’s financial performance, so as to maximize the profits of shareholders and other equity investors. Based on such risk management objectives, the Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits on a timely and reliable basis. The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments, which mainly include: credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk. The Management has deliberated and approved policies concerning such risks, and details are: (I) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. 1. Credit risk management practice (1) Evaluation method of credit risk At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company takes into account reasonable and supportable information, which is available without undue cost or effort, including qualitative and quantitative analysis based on historical data, external credit risk rating, and forward-looking information. The Company determines the changes in default risk of financial instruments during the estimated lifetime through comparison of the default risk at the balance sheet date and the initial recognition date, on an individual basis or a collective basis. The Company considers the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly when one or more of the following qualitative and quantitative standards are met: 1) Quantitative standard mainly relates to the scenario in which, at the balance sheet date, the probability of default in the remaining lifetime has risen by more than a certain percentage compared with the initial recognition; 2) Qualitative standard mainly relates to significant adverse changes in the debtor’s operation or financial position, present or expected changes in technology, market, economy or legal environment that will have significant adverse impact on the debtor’s repayment ability; (2) Definition of default and credit-impaired assets A financial instrument is defined as defaulted when one or more following events have occurred, of which the standard is consistent with that for credit-impairment: 1) significant financial difficulty of the debtor; 2) a breach of binding clause of contract; 301 / 329 3) it is very likely that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; 4) the creditor of the debtor, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the debtor’s financial difficulty, having granted to the debtor a concession(s) that the creditor would not otherwise consider. 2. Measurement of expected credit losses The key factors in the measurement of expected credit loss include the probability of default, loss given default, and exposure to default risk. The Company develops a model of the probability of default, loss given default, and exposure to default risk on the basis of quantitative analysis of historical data (e.g. counterparty rating, guarantee measures and collateral type, payment method, etc.) and forward-looking information. 3. Please refer to section V (I) 3 and 6 of notes to the financial statements for details on the reconciliation table of opening balance and closing balance of provision for losses of financial instrument. 4. Exposure to credit risk and concentration of credit risk The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and bank balances and receivables. In order to control such risks, the Company has taken the following measures: (1) Cash and bank balances The Company deposits its bank balances and other cash and bank balances in financial institutions with relatively high credit levels, hence, its credit risk is relatively low. (2) Receivables The Company performs credit assessment on customers using credit settlement on a regular basis. The Company selects credible and well-reputed customers based on credit assessment result, and conducts ongoing monitoring on balance of receivables, to avoid significant risks in bad debts. As the Company’s credit risks fall into several business partners and customers, as of December 31 2023, 26.44% (December 31, 2022: 24.68%) of the total accounts receivable was due from the five largest customers of the Company. The Company has no significant central credit risk. The maximum amount of exposure to credit risk of the Company is the carrying amount of each financial asset at the balance sheet. (II) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter deficiency of funds in meeting obligations associated with cash or other financial assets settlement, which is possibly attributable to failure in selling financial assets at fair value on a timely basis, or failure in collecting liabilities from counterparties of contracts, or early redemption of debts, or failure in achieving estimated cash flows. 302 / 329 In order to control such risk, the Company comprehensively utilizes financing tools such as notes settlement, bank borrowings, etc. and adopts long-term and short-term financing methods to optimize financing structures, and finally maintains a balance between financing sustainability and flexibility. The Company has obtained credit limit from several commercial banks to meet working capital requirements and expenditures.

Market risk mainly includes interest risk and foreign currency risk. 1. Interest risk Interest risk is the risk that an enterprise may encounter fluctuation in fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in market interest. The Company’s fair value interest risks arise from fixed-rate financial instruments, while the cash flow interest risks arise from floating-rate financial instruments. The Company determines the proportion of fixed-rate financial instruments and floating-rate financial instruments based on the market environment, and maintains a proper financial instruments portfolio through regular review and monitoring. 303 / 329 2. Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk arising from changes in fair value or future cash flows of financial instrument resulted from changes in exchange rate. The Company is mainly operated in mainland China, whose main activities are denominated in RMB, hence, the Company bears insignificant market risk arising from foreign exchange changes. 2.

Basis for determining level 1 fair value at recurring and non-recurring fair measurement Applicable Not Applicable Level 1 fair value at recurring and non-recurring fair measurement is determined based on the closing price of the active market such as exchanges at the balance sheet date. 3. Qualitative and quantitative information of valuation technique(s) and key input(s) for level 2 fair value at recurring and non-recurring fair value measurement Applicable Not Applicable 4. Qualitative and quantitative information of valuation technique(s) and key input(s) for level 3 fair value at recurring and non-recurring fair measurement Applicable Not Applicable As there is no significant change in the operating environment, operating situation and financial position of investees, the Company takes investment cost as the reasonable estimate of the fair value of equity instrument investments. The fair value of other equity instrument investments is measured based on the public market quotation. The Company regards capital-guaranteed floating-income wealth management products as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, and determines the fair value based on principal plus the market value of expected earnings as of the balance sheet date using expected cash flow model. Due to the fact that the term of bank acceptance is relative short and the acceptor of bank acceptance is commercial bank, which is of high credit level, there is very little possibility of failure in recoverability when it is due. Based on this fact, the Company takes par value of bank acceptances as the reasonable estimate of their fair value. 5. Items for level 3 recurring fair value measurement, a reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances, and sensitive analysis on unobservable inputs 305 / 329 Applicable Not Applicable 6.
