We achieved positive growth in operating incomes in this year, but at a slower growth rate. Despite the astonishing performance growth of Appotronics between 2016 and 2018, especially in 2018 when our operating incomes increased by up to 72% year on year, the growth rate of our performance slowed down after the Company get listed in 2019. After the last three years of growing at a slow pace, we have moved to the 16th year from the establishment of Appotronics, encountering another crossroad - it’s time for us to start a new journey. Personally, the year 2022 is a new starting point for me. Coming back to the forefront as the CEO of the Company, I have more responsibilities on my shoulders and more courage for fighting in my heart, as if I were in 2016. Looking back to 2016, Appotronics decided to enter a strange field - cinema projection, and created the unique cinema SAAS mode relying on our enthusiasm. Thanks to our strong technology advantages and the unique business model, Appotronics moved forward with an overwhelming momentum on the cinema market and achieved “explosive” growth with installations of our cinema projections solutions increasing year by year. The year 2022 is also a new start for Appotronics. To achieve another “explosive” growth of Appotronics, we have established four major measures: 1. To enhance our product capability by keeping sufficiently sensitive to market demands while striving for extreme 2 / 337 Annual Report 2021 cost reduction, hence creating more hot-selling products; 2. To continuously promote the building of a hierarchical team with more young talents and transform the incentive mechanism to help young outstanding management and professional staff distinguish themselves, hence improving the competitiveness of the team; 3. To innovate the cooperation mode for cooperating with leading customers in various fields for rapidly acquiring market; and 4. To keep our keenness as a pioneer by sufficiently staying alerted to emerging market opportunities in pursuit of rapid breakthrough. Thanks to the great efforts made by the Company on the consumer market, we achieved the growth by nearly 50% in 2021 year on year for our Formovie own-brand business, accompanied with obvious increase in the gross margin. According to a report from IDC, Formovie ranked third in 2021 in terms of shipments on the overall household market. In addition, we are accelerating the pace of business layout in the field of vehicle-mounted displays, and have entered into cooperation with several vehicle manufacturers and tier-1 suppliers. The IATF 16949 certification achieved by the Company recently indicates that we have acquired the admission permit for entering the supply chain of global vehicle manufacturers. Standing in a world experiencing drastic changes, we encounter the fourth technological revolution consisting of “new display technologies, artificial intelligence, 5G, etc.”, in which laser display is one of the major “racetracks” in the fourth technological revolution. Appotronics is at the front line of this investment hot spot, and therefore should act immediately to seize the opportunities. Naturally, we should also keep a clear vision of the current conditions. The year 2022 is extremely extraordinary - “black swan” events occurring one after the other, repeated outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic both in China and overseas, and the combat against the epidemic turning into a “protracted war” - the rising uncertainties lead to in-depth changes in the external environment. The hard external environment requires us to work more diligently and constantly enhance our resilience to move forward. Luckily, being dedicated 3 / 337 Annual Report 2021 to original innovation since its establishment, Appotronics is always making its way into the “unpopulated area” of technologies, and is never lack of the determination and confidence in solve tough problems. The evolution of technologies is leading to more and more new application scenarios, such as vehicle-mounted displays, aerospace projection display, and augmented reality (AR), which will create a trillion-level market. We have taken the lead in making layout for these fields. In this year, we upgraded the regular CSR report to the ESG report for the first time, which reflected our active efforts in fulfilling social responsibilities under the continuous mission of being an accountable and responsible listed company. Lastly, I’d like to present some of my personal opinions. The changes on the market have drawn much attention recently; however, despite the many factors that may lead to the fluctuation in stock prices within a short period of time, the true value of an enterprise eventually relies on the fundamental aspect of the company in the long run. We may pay back to investors in a better manner only by continuously focusing on the development of the Company, making every effort to improve the operation of the Company, and enhancing the intrinsic value of the Company. Last but not least, I would like to thank all shareholders and friends who have been caring for Appotronics! Time tells everything! LI Yi April 2022 4 / 337 Annual Report 2021 Important Note I.

If we fail to effectively judge the direction of technical innovations, or to make continuous technical innovations, or to make effective R&D investments due to limited funds, or to successfully commercialize the technologies developed by us, our core competitiveness in technical innovation may be impaired, and we may encounter technological risks in future development. (IV) Operating risk √ Applicable □ N/A 30 / 337 Annual Report 2021 1. Risks of the COVID-19 epidemic The repeated outbreak of the epidemic in China may cause planned product releases, customer visits, on-site technology commissioning, etc. to be postponed or cancelled, delaying or preventing the Company from participating in exhibitions as expected, and additional difficulties in order acquisition. With respect to the supply chain, epidemic control measures lead to blocked logistics, increasing logistics costs, prolonged period for purchase of raw materials, which intensified the difficulties in supply chain management and smooth sales. The cinema projection service business of the Company may also be affected to a certain extent due to closedown of some cinemas and postponed showing of films. Epidemic prevention and control, if no improvement is achieved, may result in uncertainties for the production and operation of the Company. 2. Risk related to the supply of important raw materials Under the impact of tension in the supply chain, there are risks that core suppliers cannot supply parts promptly at the expected quality and quantity. This may slow down the growth of the Company’s To C business, and postponed shipment of some core devices or complete equipment products may result in risks of failing to achieve the expected growth rate in operating performance of the Company. (V) Financial risk √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Risk of impairment of accounts receivable As of the end of the reporting period, the carrying amount of our accounts receivable was RMB 403.1345 million, accounting for 9.84% of our total assets. Our products are generally delivered after receiving the payment therefor. We give certain credit period to some major customers. In case of any material adverse change in the business condition of our customers, we may be unable to recover certain accounts receivable, which may have an adverse effect on our operating performance in the future. 2. Risk of impairment of inventories As of the end of the reporting period, the carrying amount of our inventories was RMB 769.6211 million, accounting for 18.78% of our assets. Our inventories mainly comprise raw materials and goods in stock. If any significant change in the competition pattern of the industry, material innovation in laser display technology and products or the impact of COVID-19 results in a large quantity of unsalable products, the recoverable amount of the inventories will be lower than their carrying amount. The impairment of inventories will have a negative effect on our earnings. 3. Risks of impairment of fixed assets As of the end of the reporting period, the carrying amount of our fixed asset was RMB 470.4105 million, accounting for 11.48% of our assets. Our fixed assets mainly consist of production equipment and cinema projector light sources for lease, where the cinema projector light sources account for 78.17%. If the COVID-19 epidemic results in prolonged closedown of cinemas, the cinema projector light sources may be idle, causing risks of impairment of fixed assets and adverse effects to the operation of the Company. 4. Risks related to government grants 31 / 337 Annual Report 2021 During the reporting period, the Company received government grants in accordance with relevant state policies, which are special funds or wards for R&D projects. The decrease in government grants to be received by the Company in the future may result in adverse effects to the profitability and cash flow of the Company. (VI) Industrial risk √ Applicable □ N/A Risk of increasingly fierce market competition Laser display is a new and thriving field in the display device industry. A lot of international and domestic companies have entered the field, further heating up the market competition. If we cannot maintain our competitive advantages in technology, product, cost, service and other areas, or the competitors combine their advantages and resources through acquisition and merger, or the top technology companies in the world increase their investment in the field of laser display, we may face the risks of decrease in the profitability and market share. (VII) Risk of macro-environment √ Applicable □ N/A The prolonged COVID-19 epidemic, constant trade friction between China and the US, and increasing geopolitical risks lead to variability, uncertainty, complexity, and vagueness for the world. The accelerated restructuring of the global economic pattern will cause constant adjustment in the industrial chain. Although China basically maintained the stable fundamental aspects of the macro economy, this cannot eliminate the potential risks that may be caused by the uncertainties in the macro economy to the development of the Company. (VIII) Risk related to depository receipts □ Applicable √ N/A (IX) Other significant risks √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Risks in intellectual property rights In consideration of the strategy of long-lasting development, the Company always emphasizes the independent research and development of intellectual property rights, and has established a scientific R&D system and an intellectual property protection system. However, this still cannot protect the Company from malicious litigation initiated by competitors or third parties, which may hinder market expansion of the Company; and cannot avoid the possibility of other intellectual property disputes between the Company and competitors or third parties. Such disputes over intellectual property rights may cause adverse effects to the normal operating activities of the Company. 2. Risks in implementing investment projects Under the impact of force majeure, such as the COVID-19 epidemic, during the process of implementing investment projects, the Company faces risks of slowing speed for production capacity expansion, delayed construction of the head office building, etc. In March 2022, the Company made postpone adjustment to investment projects according to the actual implementation conditions of investment projects. Despite the efforts of the Company in implementing the investment projects and 32 / 337 Annual Report 2021 constantly monitoring the progress of such investment projects, in the actual implementation, this cannot avoid situation like delayed construction compared with the plan, or adjustment to the implementation plan or solution in response to industry and market development. Upon the occurrence of such circumstances, the Company will make decisions in accordance with relevant provisions and promptly fulfil its obligations for information disclosure. 3. Risk related to the management of cinema light source In the business of laser cinema projection services, we enter into an agreement with a customer, pursuant to which, we charge a service fee on the customer based on the duration of use of the light source, while the customer uses the light source and pays fees therefor, and is responsible for the day-to-day safekeeping and maintenance of the light source and damages thereto, but we do not collect any deposit or other similar fees for the light source. The cinemas will use their best endeavors to maintain the light source in good condition in order to ensure normal projection of films and continuity of their business operation. However, we still face the risk of impairment of assets due to damage or loss of light source caused by improper safekeeping on the part of the cinemas. 4. Risks in the arbitration with relevant parties of the participating company GDC BVI At present, the Company is in the process of arbitration and counter arbitration with relevant parties of GDC concerning the rights and interests of the parties. Because GDC Cayman, GDC BVI, Mr. ZHANG Wanneng and his management team violated the provisions of the Shareholders’ Agreement and Settlement Agreement, including but not limited to the appointment of directors in violation of corporate governance regulations, violation of protective provisions for the Company, and failing to purchase the minimum quantity of C5 projectors and core device parts by the end of 2021. As a result, the cooperation on the purchase business for cinema hardware products between the Company and GDC BVI is subject to uncertainty. The the trial of this case has not been started, the impact of such case on the profit or loss of the Company cannot be determined at present; the eventual actual impact depends on the award of the arbitration tribunal or the negotiation between the parties.

Discussion and analysis of future development of the Company (I) Structure and trend of the industry √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Main racetrack: high demands in the household racetrack Given the obvious trend of large screens on the household display market, smart projection is on the rise for rapid growth. The IDC report shows that the shipment of household projectors in 2021 reached 3.48 million sets, up by 16%, leading to the sales value of over RMB 12.4 billion, up by 18.3%. As one of the development priorities of China, and one of the mainstream display technologies for the future, laser display is one of the fields with support from the state. In 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated to enhance support for the laser display industry in accordance with the 14th Five-year Plan. In addition, there are continuous policies favorable to the smart projection market - the state encourages the “Intelligence+” consumption ecology, and encourages content supply, which will promote the release of consumer’s demands. In the short term, the year 2022 is a major year of sports - from the Beijing Winter Olympics to the World Cup in Qatar, to the Asian Games in Hangzhou - abundant sports events will lead to high demands of consumers for large-size screens. In the medium term, in the post-economic era featuring repeated outbreaks, projectors are included as one of the products of online classes for study at home recommended by Shenzhen Health Commission; moreover, the “home economy” is also drives the sales of household film and entertainment devices, such as projectors. In the long term, young consumers, including, among others, the Generation Z pursue personalization and immersive experience, and are willing to replace TVs with projectors, or take projectors as one of the alternative options. In addition, laser mini projectors, as a new product developed by the Company in 2021, has the advantages in brightness and color. Given the continuous expansion of the racetrack, the continuous improvement of the industrial chain, and rapid reduction in product costs, it’s expected to receive explosive growth with a huge market space. 2. Racetrack for future growth: (1) Promising future in the vehicle-mounted display racetrack The extremely huge vehicle industry contains many trillion-level enterprises. According to the data of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, China has been ranking the first in the sales volume of vehicles on the world for 13 consecutive years, and has made great progress in the transformation to electric vehicles, Internet-connected vehicles, and intelligent vehicles. Vehicle-mounted display is one of the core fields for smart cockpits. According to the survey data of Huachuang Securities, it’s predicted that the size of the global vehicle-mounted display market will reach USD 17.7 billion in 2022. Vehicle-mounted display includes vehicle widow projection, HUD, console, and many other display application scenarios in vehicles. In vehicle-mounted applications, laser light sources can output greater brightness at higher efficiency, low heat radiation, and low consumption with a smaller size, hence it is more likely to develop into the mainstream technologies for vehicle-mounted display. The application of laser projection display in vehicles is an emerging blue-sea market; the Company has implemented cooperation for pre-shipment installations. 45 / 337 Annual Report 2021 (2) Emerging large-sale innovative application scenarios Given the compatibility between the laser display technology and cutting-edge technologies, including human-machine interaction, smart recognition, Internet of Things, cloud platform, and big data, the wide application of 5G mobile phones will create potential demands for supporting laser display products. Therefore, it’s expected there will be huge market demands for supporting mobile products featuring high efficiency, small size and low cost in the future. In the short term, the trend remains unchanged in the development priority of the current display market will witness the development of laser display technology towards advantages in cost-performance ratio, high portability, high dynamic range, wide color gamut, and high brightness for integration with ultra short throw and anti-ambient light screen technologies. (II) Development strategy of the Company √ Applicable □ N/A Facing the future, Appotronics is dedicated to becoming a pioneer in the display industry; under the mission of “New light, New Life”, the Company insists on the strategic direction of “core technologies + core devices + application scenario” to continuously promote breakthrough innovation of laser display technologies, accelerate the expansion of application scenarios, and enhance the in-depth industrialization of laser display technologies. Focusing on the business of core devices, the Company will work with major customers to expand and strengthen the ecology of the laser display industry. (III) Business plan √ Applicable □ N/A In 2022, under the impact and challenge of repeated local outbreak of the epidemic, global inflation, geopolitical tension, and shortage of chips in the industry, Mr. LI Yi, founder and Chairman of the Company, returned to the first time to take the position of CEO. The Company will start the plan of dual- engine growth - with the mini projector business and core device business as the core direction for breakthrough in 2022, we can take opportunities of the industry and stimulate more growth energy for the Company. 1. Expanding the new racetrack of laser mini projectors Firstly, we will minimize costs to promote popularization of such products. Laser mini projectors have the inherent advantages of “high brightness, wide color gamut, and large screen”; in the future, the Company will reduce costs through technology iteration, through optimization of the supply chain, and through scale effects, so as to reduce the retail prices of terminals, hence promoting the rapid expansion in shipment and population of laser mini projector products. Secondly, we will implement two strategies to improve the competitive of our own-brand products. On one hand, we will implement the strategy of product matrix to release differentiated products intended for various user demands, so as to explore the smart mini projector market. On the other hand, we will implement the strategy of flagship products to actively build flagship products, take comprehensive measures in product experience, staffing, brand marketing, and channel expansion, so as to achieve 46 / 337 Annual Report 2021 substantial breakthrough in both the brand and sales volume. 2. Continuous expansion of the core device business The Company has made obvious achievements in the field of household core devices. We have established projects for several new products, have the reservation for high-quality projects intended for overseas markets, and continuously expand the scope of partners along the ecology chain, so as to jointly expand and strengthen the ecology of the laser display industry. We insist on the route of working with leading customers to promote the early large-scale implementation of the vehicle-mounted display business. In the future, we will work with leading customers on the pre-shipment market and post-shipment market for our vehicle-mounted products, which will be released stage by stage. Meanwhile, we will work for breakthrough in technology route to reduce costs, hence promoting the popularization of vehicle-mounted display products. We will constantly explore new application scenarios. Besides aviation projection and AR, we will continue to explore new application scenarios to expand our core technologies and core device products to more application fields, such as smart household, 3D industry, and other fields.

Cash dividend policy Pursuant to our Articles of Association and the Statement of Appotronics Corporation Limited Regarding the Initial Public Offering of RMB-denominated Ordinary Shares (A-shares) and the Plan for Distribution of Dividends to Shareholders within Three Years Following the Listing on the STAR Market, 73 / 337 Annual Report 2021 we will focus on long-term and sustainable development, and establish a clear profit distribution policy taking into consideration our strategic development plan, actual business situation, development objectives, future profitability, status of cash flows, shareholder return, cost of social capital, external financing environment and other relevant factors, and the balance between the reasonable returns on investment for shareholders and our sustainable development, to ensure the consistency and stability of the profit distribution policy and ensure that we are able to operate continuously and healthily in the long run. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions for distributing cash dividends, we will distribute not less than 10% of the distributable profit made in each year in cash. The Board of Directors will adopt the following differential cash dividend policy according to the procedures set forth in our Articles of Association, giving comprehensive consideration to the characteristics of the industry in which we operate, our development stage, business model and earnings, material capital expenditure arrangements and other relevant factors: (1) If the Company is at the mature stage and does not have any material capital expenditure arrangement, at least 80% of the distributable profit will be distributed in cash; (2) If the Company is at the mature stage and has certain material capital expenditure arrangements, at least 40% of the distributable profit will be distributed in cash; or (3) If the Company is at the growth stage and has certain material capital expenditure arrangements, at least 20% of the distributable profit will be distributed in cash. If it is hard to determine the development stage but there are certain material capital expenditure arrangements, the policy set forth above may apply. We will formulate or adjust the shareholder returns plan subject to the profit distribution policy set forth above, according to our actual situations and the opinions of the shareholders (in particular, the minority shareholders) and the independent directors. 2. Preliminary plan on profit distribution for 2021 According to our 2021 consolidated financial statements as audited by Pan-China Certified Public Accountants (Special General Partnership), Appotronics Corporation Limited (hereinafter referred to as the Company) realized the net profit of RMB 221,534,817.14 in the consolidated financial statements for 2021, of which the net profit attributable to owners of the parent company is RMB 233,364,344.09, and the distributable profit of the parent company is RMB 453,996,135.72. In accordance with the provision of the Notice of China Securities Regulatory Commission on Further Implementing Cash Dividend Distribution by Listed Companies, the Guidelines of Shanghai Stock Exchange on Cash Dividend Distribution by Listed Companies, Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies No. 3 - Cash Dividend Distribution by Listed Companies, and the Articles of Association, in consideration of the current overall operation and development stage, the Company proposes to distribute the cash dividend of RMB 1.05 (tax-inclusive) per 10 shares to all shareholders on the basis of the total shares on the record date of interest distribution for 2021, deducted by shares in the special securities account for repurchase by the Company. As of April 25, 2022, the Company has a total of 452,756,901 shares and 0 shares in the special securities account for repurchase, leading to the total cash dividend of 74 / 337 Annual Report 2021 RMB 47,539,474.61 (tax-inclusive). The cash dividends proposed by the Company for this year account for 20.37% of the net profits attributable to the shareholders of the listed company in the current consolidated financial statements of the Company. No capitalization of the capital reserve or bonus shares will be made or distributed in the profit distribution. In the event of any change in the total shares of the Company after deducting the shares in the special securities account for repurchase by the Company due to relevant events prior to the record date of interest distribution, the Company intends to keep the total amount of distribution unchanged while correspondingly change the distribution proportion for each share. In the event of changes in the total shares, an announcement will be separately released to disclose the specific adjustment. Reasons for distribution of cash dividends lower than 30% of the distributable profit: Being in the growth stage, the Company needs a large amount of funds. We plan to use the undistributed profit to satisfy the working capital requirements in our R&D and marketing activities and day-to-day management, and support the implementation of our medium-to-long term development strategy and continuous and healthy development. The profit distribution proposal for the year of 2021 has been approved at the 11th meeting of the second Board of Directors and the 10th meeting of the second Board of Supervisors of the Company. The independent directors of the Company have reviewed the preliminary plan on profit distribution, expressed their independent opinions on and given explicit consent to the proposal.

There are a total of 224 new grantees of share incentives under the incentive plan. 2. On April 22, 2021, the Company held the 31st meeting of the first Board of Directors and the 18th meeting of the first Board of Supervisors, which reviewed and passed the Proposal on the Adjustment of the 2021 Restricted Share Incentive Plan and the Proposal on Initial Grant of Restricted Shares. (1) Given that 1 grantee determined in the incentive plan left the company and 3 grantees decided not to participate in the incentive plan due to personal reasons, after the adjustment, the number of grantees 76 / 337 Annual Report 2021 under the incentive plan is changed from 224 persons to 220 persons, while the total 18.5000 million restricted shares granted and 17.1000 million restricted shares granted initially shall remain unchanged. (2) Since the conditions provided in the incentive plan for granting the restricted shares have been satisfied, it’s determined that 17.1000 million restricted shares were granted to 220 grantees who met the grant conditions on the grant date of April 22, 2021. 3.

On October 22, 2021, the Company held the 4th meeting of the second Board of Directors and the 4th meeting of the second Board of Supervisors, which reviewed and passed the Proposal on Discarding Certain Restricted Shares Granted but Not Vested. (1) Considering that 1 grantee of share incentives in the initial grant under the 2019 Restricted Share Incentive Plan have left the Company, and 1 grantee has become a supervisor of the Company, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the 2019 Restricted Share Incentive Plan (Draft), such grantees are no longer qualified as grantees.

(2) The 2019 Restricted Share Incentive Plan (Draft) and the Management Measures for the Appraisal of the 2019 Restricted Share Incentive Plan, specified the vesting conditions that “with the operating income of 2018 as the basis, the growth rate of 2020 shall be no less than 50%”.

XVIII. Others □ Applicable √ N/A 81 / 337 Annual Report 2021 Section V Environment, Social Responsibility, and Other Corporate Governance I. Statement of the Board of Directors on ESG The Company attaches great importance to ESG matters. Since its listing in 2019, the Company has released social responsibility reports for two consecutive years, and incorporated the social value as a corporate citizen into its daily operating activities to build a model for the laser display industry; moreover, the social responsibility report has been upgraded to the more comprehensive strategic management of environment, society, and corporate governance during the reporting period. In order to effectively implement ESG efforts, the Company has gradually established and improved an integrated ESG management, communication, and coordination mechanism. The Chairman, as the first responsible person, is responsible for reviewing and deciding the strategy and objective of the Company’s ESG efforts; and the functional departments, business departments, subsidiaries, and branches are responsible for making corresponding working objectives and plans to implement the Company’s strategy, and to keep communication with internal and external stakeholders. This results in an approach featuring review and decision-making, coordination and supervision, and step-by-step implementation. (I) Striving to achieve the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals by green technologies The Company created the ALPD phosphor laser display technology in 2007. Compared with conventional display technologies, this technology has advantages of high brightness, wide color gamut, high contrast, high reliability, high light effect, energy conservation, and environment friendliness. We develop green products by making use of such green technology to achieve technological industrialization. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has achieved over 2.5 installations of the laser projection solution in China, creating “win-win” solutions intended for both economic benefits and environment protection benefits for customer. According to incomplete statistics, ALPD laser projection solutions ran 188 million hours in total, saving a total of 338 million kWh power consumption, and reducing about 148 million cubic meters of carbon dioxide emissions arising from power generation, which established an industry model for energy conservation and emission reduction to achieve the “carbon neutrality” goals. Moreover, given the great importance attached to environment protection management, we have no environmental violations in 2021, with the total emissions of waste gas and wastewater not exceeding the standards. We implement the green operation philosophy by continuously improving production processes to strive for energy conservation and consumption reduction; improve the rate of resource recycling and utilization by “trade-in” practices; and advocate thrift and green office among employees.

II. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards for Certified Public Accounts of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for Audit of Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Appotronics Corporation in accordance with the code of ethics for Chinese Certified Public Accountants, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. III. Key audit items 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 137 / 337 Annual Report 2021 addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. (I) Revenue recognition 1. Description Details of relevant information are disclosed in V.38, V.42, VII.61, and XVI.6 of section X. Appotronics Corporation is mainly engaged in research, development, production, sales and leasing of laser display core devices and complete equipment. In 2021, the operating income of Appotronics Corporation amounted to RMB 2,498,228,401.78, of which sales and other incomes were RMB 2,137,606,392.96, representing 85.56% of the total operating income, and lease incomes were RMB 360,622,008.82, representing 14.44% of the total operating income. The specific methods for revenue recognition are as follows: (1) Revenue from sales of goods Revenue from sales of goods denotes contractual obligations to be performed at a time point. Our sales include sales to the domestic market and sales to foreign markets. Goods sold to the domestic market: 1) Under the direct sale model and the distribution mode, the Company recognizes the revenue when the goods sent have been delivered to customers with customers’ receipt given to the Company. For goods sold attached with return conditions, the Company recognizes the revenue when the validity period of goods return conditions expires, and recognizes liabilities to write off the revenue according to the expected amount to be refunded due to the return of goods; for goods required for installment and inspection after sales, the Company recognizes the revenue when such goods have been installed and inspected with customers’ acceptance certificate given to the Company. If the Company shares profits from sales of products by a downstream end customer, the Company recognizes the revenue at the goods price agreed between the parties upon the delivery of goods to the customer and reconciliation, and recognizes shared revenue according to the share profit reconciliation statement when the profits from sales of goods are realized. 2) Under the commissioned sales mode, the Company recognizes the revenue when it receives the list of commissioned sales from the customer. Goods exported to overseas markets: The Company mainly adopts FCA for export of goods. Under this mode, the Company recognizes revenue when it delivers goods at the designated location with export customs clearance procedures completed. 138 / 337 Annual Report 2021 (2) Other incomes Other revenues of the Company denote contractual obligations to be performed at a time point/during a specific period of time. For installation services provided by the Company, the Company recognizes the revenue when it has completed the services and received customers’ acceptance certificate; for repair and maintenance services provided by the Company, the Company recognizes the revenue when it has completed the services and received payments; for patrol inspection services provided by the Company, which are obligations to be performed during a specific period of time, the Company determines the service performance progress by using the output approach, and recognizes the revenue according to the performance progress; for patent license services provided by the Company, the Company recognizes the revenue when the patent license is delivered; for technology development services provided by the Company, the Company recognizes the revenue when it has completed the services or when the agreed time point of service acceptance is reached. (3) Lease incomes In each period during the lease term, the Company recognizes lease payments as rental incomes by using the straight-line method/units of production method. The variable lease payments acquired by the Company that are related to operating leases and not recognized in lease payments are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period when they actually occur. As the operating income is one of Appotronics Corporation’s KPIs, there may be an inherent risk that the management of Appotronics Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "management”) may recognize the revenue inappropriately to achieve specific objectives or expectations. Therefore, we identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter. 2. Description of how the key audit matter was addressed in the audit For revenue recognition, our audit procedures include, inter alia: (1) Understand the key internal controls related to revenue recognition, evaluate the design of those controls, determine whether they are implemented, and test the operational effectiveness of the relevant internal controls; (2) Examine major sales contracts and lease contracts, understand the major provisions or conditions thereof, and evaluate whether revenue recognition methods are appropriate; (3) Implement analysis procedures for operating income and gross margin by month, product, customer, etc., to identify whether there are significant or unusual fluctuations and to find out the causes of such fluctuations; 139 / 337 Annual Report 2021 (4) For sales income, sample supporting documents related to revenue recognition, including sales contracts or orders, sales invoices, warehouse receipts, delivery notes, transport information, customer signature forms, export declarations and electronic port system information; for lease income, sample supporting documents including, among other things, lease contracts, orders, installation orders, unit lease price per hour, and number of hours consumed; for sales income, sample supporting documents including, among other things, sales contracts, customs declaration forms, and bills of lading; (5) In conjunction with accounts receivable confirmation procedures, send confirmation to major customers to recognize the current incomes on a sample basis; (6) Conduct the cut-off test on the operating incomes recognized on or after the balance sheet date to evaluate whether the operating incomes are recognized during the appropriate period; (7) Obtain a record of sales returns after the balance sheet date to check if there is any instance that conditions for revenue recognition were not met at the balance sheet date; (8) Check whether information relative to operating income is properly presented in the financial statements. (II) Net realizable value of inventories 1. Description Details of relevant information are disclosed in V.15 and VII.9 of Section X. As of December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of inventories of Appotronics amounted to RMB 808,619,692.36, and provisions for decline in value of inventories amounted to RMB 38,998,559.36, hence the book value of inventories amounted to RMB 769,621,133.00. At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. If the net realizable value is below the cost of inventories, a provision for decline in value of inventories is made. In view of the purpose of holding inventories, the management determines the estimated selling price of inventories based on historical or actual selling prices, and the net realizable value of inventories in accordance with the balance of the estimated selling price less the sum of the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. The amount of inventories is material and the determination of the net realizable value of inventories involves significant management judgment, therefore, we identified the determination of the net realizable value of inventories as a key audit matter. 2. Description of how the key audit matter was addressed in the audit 140 / 337 Annual Report 2021 For the net realizable value of inventories, our audit procedures include, inter alia: (1) Understand the key internal controls related to the net realizable value of inventories, evaluate the design of those controls, determine whether they are implemented, and test the operational effectiveness of the relevant internal controls; (2) Review the management’s forecast of the estimated selling price of inventories on a sample basis, comparing the estimated selling price with historical data and subsequent situations, etc.; (3) Evaluate the appropriateness of the management’s estimates on the estimated costs of completion of inventories and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes; (4) Test the accuracy of the management’s calculation on the net realizable value of inventories; (5) Evaluate the reasonableness of the management’s estimates on the net realizable value of inventories by checking inventories recognized at the end of the period in terms of long age, obsolescence, changes in technology or market demand in conjunction with inventory monitoring; (6) Check whether information relative to the net realizable value of inventories is properly presented in the financial statements. IV. Other information The management is responsible for other information. The other information comprises the information included in the 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 this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 141 / 337 Annual Report 2021 V. Responsibilities of the Management and governance with respect to the financial statements The management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and designing, implementing and maintaining internal control that is necessary to enable the 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 Appotronics’ 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 Appotronics or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance of Appotronics (hereinafter referred to as “Those Charged with Governance”) are responsible for overseeing Appotronics’ financial reporting process. VI. Responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants with respect to the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion solely to you. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with China Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with China Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: (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 that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 142 / 337 Annual Report 2021 (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. Meanwhile, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Appotronics Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required by audit standards to draw users’ attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements. If such disclosures are inadequate, we are supposed to express an unqualified 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 Appotronics Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern. (V) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. (VI) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Appotronics Corporation to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

The accounting treatment of business combinations involving entities under common control and not involving entities under common control √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Accounting method for business combinations involving enterprises under common control Assets and liabilities acquired from a business combination by the Company are measured at the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controller at the date of combination. The Company made adjustment to capital reserves according to the differences between the shares in the owners’ equity of the combined party on the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party and the book value of paid combination considerations or the face value of issued shares; In case the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remaining balance is adjusted against the retained earnings. 2. Accounting method for business combinations not involving enterprises under common control Where the cost of combination exceeds the Company’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognized as goodwill. Where the cost of combination is less than the Company’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the Company firstly reassesses the fair values of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and the measurement of the cost of combination. If after that reassessment, the cost of combination is still less than the Company’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the acquirer recognizes the remaining difference immediately in profit or loss for the current period. 6.

Recognition of cash and cash equivalents Cash equivalents are the Group’s short-term (generally due within 3 months from the acquisition date), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 9. Translation of transactions and financial statements denominated in foreign currencies √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies A foreign currency transaction is recorded in RMB, on initial recognition, by applying the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into RMB using the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from such translations are recognized in profit or loss for the current period, except for those attributable to foreign currency borrowings that have been taken out specifically for the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets and accrued interest. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical cost are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the 173 / 337 Annual Report 2021 transaction dates, without adjusting the amounts in RMB. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the dates when the fair value was determined, with exchange differences arising from such translations recognized in profit or loss for the current period or other comprehensive income. 2. Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies Asset and liability items on the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; shareholders’ equity items other than "undistributed profits” are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates on which such items arose; income and expense items in the income statement are translated at the exchange rates that approximate the actual spot exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. Exchange differences arising from such translations are recognized in other comprehensive income. 10. Financial instruments √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities On initial recognition, the Company’s financial assets are classified into three categories, including (1) financial assets at amortized cost; (2) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; and (3) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the current period. Upon initial recognition, the Company’s financial liabilities are classified into four categories, including (1) financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the current period; (2) financial liabilities arising as a result of the transfer of financial assets not meeting the criteria for derecognition or continuing involvement in the financial assets transferred; (3) financial guarantee contracts not falling under Clauses (1) and (2), and loan commitments not falling under Clause (1) and below market interest rate; and (4) financial liabilities at amortized cost. 2. Recognition, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities (1) Recognition and initial measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities When the Company becomes a party to a financial instrument contract, a financial asset or liability is recognized. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs relating to financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are directly recognized in profit or loss for the current period. Transaction costs relating to other kinds of financial assets or liabilities are included 174 / 337 Annual Report 2021 in their initially recognized amount. However, the accounts receivable, if do not contain any significant financing component or are recognized by the Company without taking into consideration the financing components under the contracts with a term of less than one year upon initial recognition, are initially measured at transaction price defined in Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.14 - Revenue. (2) Subsequent measurement of financial assets 1) Financial assets at amortized cost Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from financial assets at amortized cost that do not belong to any hedging relationship are recognized in profit or loss for the current period upon derecognition, reclassification, amortization using the effective interest method or recognition of impairment. 2) Investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income Investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest, impairment losses or gains and exchange gains or losses calculated using the effective interest method are recognized in profit or loss for the current period, and other gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the aggregate gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss for the current period. 3) Investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income Investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends received (other than those received as recovery of investment cost) are recognized in profit or loss for the current period, and other gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to retained earnings. 4) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the current period Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the current period are subsequently measured at fair value, with gains or losses arising therefrom, including interest and dividend income, recognized in profit or loss for the current period, except the financial assets belonging to any hedging relationship. (3) Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities 1) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the current period Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss for the current period include financial 175 / 337 Annual Report 2021 liabilities held for trading (including derivatives classified as financial liabilities), and financial liabilities directly designated as at fair value through profit or loss for the current period. Such financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss for the period arising out of changes in the Company’s own credit risk are recognized in other comprehensive income, unless such treatment will result in or increase any accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Other gains or losses arising from such financial liabilities, including interest expenses and changes in fair value not arising out of changes in the Company’s own credit risk, are recognized in profit or loss for the current period, except the financial liabilities belonging to any hedging relationship. Upon derecognition, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to retained earnings. 2) Financial liabilities arising as a result of the transfer of financial assets not meeting the criteria for derecognition or continuing involvement in the financial assets transferred Such financial liabilities are measured in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 23 -- Transfer of Financial Assets. 3) Financial guarantee contracts not falling under Clauses 1) and 2), and loan commitments not falling under Clause 1) and below market interest rate Such financial liabilities are subsequently measured at the higher of ① provision for impairment losses determined according to the policy for impairment of financial instruments; and ① balance of the initially recognized amount after deduction of the accumulated amortization determined in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No.14 - Revenue. 4) Financial liabilities at amortized cost Financial liabilities at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses on financial liabilities at amortized cost that do not belong to any hedging relationship are recognized in profit or loss for the current period upon derecognition or amortization using the effective interest method. (4) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities 1) Financial assets are derecognized when: ① the contractual right to receive cash flows from the financial assets has expired; or 176 / 337 Annual Report 2021 ② the financial assets have been transferred and such transfer meets the criteria for derecognition of financial assets as set forth in the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 23 -- Transfer of Financial Assets. 2) A financial liability (or part thereof) is derecognized when all or part of the outstanding obligations thereon have been discharged. 3. Recognition and measurement of financial assets transferred When a financial asset of the Company is transferred, if substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the financial asset have been transferred, the financial asset is derecognized, and the rights and obligations incurred or retained in such transfer are separately recognized as assets or liabilities (as the case may be); if substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the financial asset have been retained, the financial asset transferred continues to be recognized. If the Company neither transferred nor retained a substantial portion of all risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the financial asset, then: (1) if the Company does not retain control over the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized, and the rights and obligations incurred or retained in such transfer are separately recognized as assets or liabilities (as the case may be); and (2) if the Company retains control over the financial asset, the financial asset continues to be recognized to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the financial asset transferred, and a corresponding liability is recognized. If an entire transfer of a financial asset meets the criteria for derecognition, the difference between (1) the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred at the date of derecognition; and (2) the sum of the consideration received from the transfer and the portion of the accumulated amount of changes in fair value directly recorded as other comprehensive income originally that corresponds to the part derecognized (where the financial asset transferred is an investment in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income) is recognized in profit or loss for the current period. If part of a financial asset is transferred and the part transferred entirely meets the criteria for derecognition, the total carrying amount of the financial asset immediately prior to the transfer is allocated between the part derecognized and the part not derecognized in proportion to their relative fair value at the date of transfer, and the difference between (1) the carrying amount of the part derecognized; and (2) the sum of the consideration received from the transfer of the part derecognized and the portion of the accumulated amount of changes in fair value directly recorded as other comprehensive income originally that 177 / 337 Annual Report 2021 corresponds to the part derecognized (where the financial asset transferred is an investment in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income) is recognized in profit or loss for the current period. 4. Determination of fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities The Company adopts the valuation techniques applicable to the current situations and with sufficient data available and support of other information, to determine the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities. The Company classifies the inputs used by the valuation techniques in the following levels and uses them in turn: (1) Level 1 inputs: quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for an identical asset or liability available at the date of measurement; (2) Level 2 inputs: inputs other than inputs included within Level 1 that are observable directly or indirectly. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, observable inputs other than quoted prices (such as interest rate and yield curves observable during regular intervals of quotation), and inputs validated by the market; (3) Level 3 inputs: inputs that are unobservable. This category includes interest rate or stock volatility that cannot be directly observed or validated by observable market data, future cash flows from retirement obligation incurred in business combinations, and financial forecasts made using own data. 5. Impairment of financial instruments (1) Measurement and accounting treatment of impairment of financial instruments The Company determines the impairment and assesses provision for impairment losses of financial assets at amortized cost, investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets, lease receivable, loan commitments other than financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss for the current period, and financial guarantee contracts other than financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss for the current period and financial liabilities arising as a result of the transfer of financial assets not meeting the criteria for derecognition or continuing involvement in the financial assets transferred, on the basis of expected credit losses. Expected credit loss is the weighted average of credit losses on financial instruments taking into account the possibility of default. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows receivable 178 / 337 Annual Report 2021 under the contract and estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate, i.e. the present value of all cash shortage, wherein the Company’s purchased or originated financial assets that have become credit impaired are discounted at their credit-adjusted effective interest rate. With respect to purchased or originated financial assets that have become credit impaired, at the balance sheet date, the Company recognizes a loss allowance equal to the accumulated amount of changes in lifetime expected credit losses since initial recognition. With respect to lease receivable, accounts receivable and contract assets that are formed from transactions under the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 14 - Revenue, the Company uses the simple measurement method and recognizes a loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit loss. With respect to financial assets not using the measurement methods stated above, at each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, and recognizes a loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit loss if the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, or to the expected credit losses within the next 12 months if the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company uses reasonable and supportable information, including forward-looking information, and compares the possibility of default at the balance sheet date with the possibility of default upon initial recognition, to determine whether the credit risk of the financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition. At the balance sheet date, if the Company determines that a financial instrument only has low credit risk, the Company assumes that its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company assesses expected credit risk and measures expected credit losses of financial instruments individually or collectively. When assessing the financial instruments collectively, the Company includes the financial instruments in different groups according to their common risk characteristics. At each balance sheet date, the Company re-assesses the expected credit losses, with the amount of increase in or reversal of loss allowance recognized in profit or loss for the current period as impairment losses or gains. With respect to a financial asset at amortized cost, its carrying amount recorded in the balance sheet is written off against the loss allowance. With respect to an investment in debt instruments 179 / 337 Annual Report 2021 at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Company recognizes the loss allowance in other comprehensive income, without reducing its carrying amount. (2) Financial instruments for which expected credit risk is assessed and expected credit losses are measured collectively Item Basis for Method for measuring expected credit losses determining a group Other receivables - group of deposit and security receivable Nature of Other other receivables- receivables group of By reference to historic credit loss experience, and taking into withholding account the current situations and prediction of future economic receivable conditions, calculate the expected credit losses according to the Other receivables Receivables default risk exposure and 12-month or rate of lifetime expected - group of from related credit loss. receivables from parties in the related parties in scope of the scope of consolidation consolidation Other receivables - grouping by Aging aging (3) Accounts receivable for which expected credit losses are measured collectively and contract assets 1) Groups and method for measuring expected credit losses Item Basis for determining a group Method for measuring expected credit losses Bank acceptance bills receivable By reference to historic credit loss experience, and taking into Commercial acceptance bills Type of notes account the current situations receivable and prediction of future Accounts receivable - group of Receivables from related economic conditions, calculate receivables from related parties parties in the scope of the expected credit losses in the scope of consolidation consolidation according to the default risk 180 / 337 Annual Report 2021 exposure and rate of lifetime expected credit loss.

Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the balance sheet separately, without offsetting each other. However, the Company may represent the financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis in the balance sheet only if: (1) the Company has a legal right that is currently enforceable to set off the recognized financial assets and financial liabilities, and (2) the Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the financial asset and settle the financial liability simultaneously. With respect to the transfer of financial assets not meeting the criteria for derecognition, the Company does not offset the financial assets transferred against the relevant liabilities. 11. Notes receivable Method for recognition of expected credit losses of notes receivable and relevant accounting treatments √ Applicable □ N/A The Company’s method for recognition of expected credit losses of notes receivable and relevant accounting treatments are disclosed in V.10 of Section X in details. 12. Accounts receivable Method for recognition of expected credit losses of accounts receivable and relevant accounting treatments √ Applicable □ N/A The Company’s method for recognition of expected credit losses of accounts receivable and relevant accounting treatments are disclosed in V.10 of Section X in details. 13. Receivables financing √ Applicable □ N/A The Company’s accounting policies on receivables financing are disclosed in V.10 of Section X in details. 182 / 337 Annual Report 2021 14. Other receivables Method for recognition of expected credit losses of other receivables and relevant accounting treatments √ Applicable □ N/A The Company’s method for recognition of expected credit losses of other receivables and relevant accounting treatments are disclosed in V.10 of Section X in details. 15. Inventories √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Categories of inventories Inventories mainly include finished goods or commodities held for sale in the ordinary course of businesses, work in progress in the process of production or materials and supplies consumed in the process of production or rendering service. 2. Costing method of inventories transferred out The actual cost of inventories upon delivery is calculated using the moving weighted average method. 3. Basis for determining net realizable value of inventories At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. If the net realizable value is below the cost of inventories, a provision for decline in value of inventories is made. For inventories directly used for sale, the net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. For inventories required for processing, the net realizable value is determined as the estimated selling price of finished goods in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion, and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. As at the balance sheet date, if in the same item of inventories, some are agreed with contractual prices while the others are not, the net realizable value for such inventories is determined separately, and compared with the costs of the two parts of inventories distinctively, as to determine the provisions or reversal of provisions for decline in value of inventories separately. 4. Inventory counting system The perpetual inventory system is maintained for stock system. 5. Amortization method for low cost and short-lived consumable items and packaging materials (1) Low cost and short-lived consumable items Low cost and short-lived consumable items are amortized using the immediate write-off method. 183 / 337 Annual Report 2021 (2) Packaging materials Low cost and short-lived consumable items are amortized using the immediate write-off method. (XII) Contract costs Assets related to contract costs include contract acquisition costs and contract performance costs. If costs incurred by the Company for acquiring a contract are expected to be recovered, such costs are recognized as an asset as contract acquisition costs. The costs incurred by the Company for performing a contract are recognized as an asset of contract performance costs if they do not fall within the scope of other relevant standards, like inventories, fixed assets, or intangible assets, and meet all the following conditions: 1. The cost is directly related to a present or expected contract, including direct labor, direct materials, manufacturing expenses (or similar expenses), costs explicitly to be borne by customers, and other costs arising from the contract; 2. The cost leads to the increase in resources of the Company for fulfilling its performance obligations in the future; and 3. The cost is expected to be recovered. Assets related to contract costs are amortized on the same basis as recognizing incomes from goods related to assets, and are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. If the book value of the assets related to contract costs is greater than the consideration expected to be acquired by transferring the goods or services related to such assets less the costs expected to be incurred, the Company makes provision for impairment for the exceeding portion and recognizes impairment loss of assets. In the event of a change in the factors causing impairment in a prior period, so that the consideration expected to be acquired by transferring the goods or services related to such assets less the costs expected to be incurred is greater than the book value of such assets, the provision for impairment made for such assets is reversed and recognized in the profit or loss for the current period; provided, however, that the reversed book value of such assets shall not exceed the book value of such assets at the reversal data on the assumption that no provision for impairment has been made. 16. Contract assets (1). Recognition method and criteria of contract assets √ Applicable □ N/A The Company presents contract assets or contract liabilities in the balance sheet according to the 184 / 337 Annual Report 2021 relationship between the performance of contractual obligations and payment by customers. Contract assets and contract liabilities under a same contract are presented at the net amount after offsetting each other. Rights owned by the Company for unconditionally collecting the consideration from customers (that is, depending only on the time) are presented as receivables, and rights for collecting the consideration for goods that have been transferred to customers (depending on other factors than the time) are presented as contract assets. (2). Method for recognition of expected credit losses of contract assets and relevant accounting treatments √ Applicable □ N/A The method for recognition of expected credit losses of contract assets and relevant accounting treatments are disclosed in V.10 of Section X in details. 17. Held-for-sale assets □ Applicable √ N/A 18. Debt investments (1). Method for recognition of expected credit losses of debt investments and relevant accounting treatments □ Applicable √ N/A 19. Other debt investments (1). Method for recognition of expected credit losses of other debt investments and relevant accounting treatments □ Applicable √ N/A 20. Long-term receivables (1). Method for recognition of expected credit losses of long-term receivables and relevant accounting treatments √ Applicable □ N/A The method for recognition of expected credit losses of long-term receivables and relevant accounting treatments are disclosed in V.10 of Section X in details. 21. Long-term equity investments √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Judgments on joint control and significant influence Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when 185 / 337 Annual Report 2021 decisions about the relevant activities of such arrangement require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy making of an entity, but does not control or jointly control over those policies. 2. Determination of investment cost (1) In case of an equity investment acquired through a business combination involving entities under common control, if the acquirer pays consideration for the business combination by cash, transfer of non- monetary assets, assumption of liabilities or issuance of equity securities, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the Company’s share of the carrying amount of the owners’ equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controller at the date of combination. The difference between: (i) the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment; and (ii) the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination or the total par value of the shares issued is treated as an adjustment to the capital reserve. In case the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remaining balance is adjusted against the retained earnings. For a long-term equity investment acquired through business combination involving enterprises under common control that is achieved through multiple transactions by steps, the Company shall judge whether such transactions constitute a package deal. If such transactions constitute a package deal, the Company accounts for such transactions as one transaction to acquire control. If such transactions do not constitute a package deal, the initial investment cost is the Company’s share of the carrying amount of the owners’ equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controller at the date of combination. The difference between: (i) the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment at the date of combination; and (ii) the sum of the carrying amount of long-term equity investment before the combination and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for acquisition of the additional shares at the date of combination is adjusted against the capital reserve. In case the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remaining balance is adjusted against the retained earnings. (2) In case of an equity investment acquired through a business combination not involving entities under common control, the initial investment cost is the fair value of the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination at the date of acquisition. For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination not involving entities under common control and achieved through multiple transactions by steps, the accounting treatment 186 / 337 Annual Report 2021 thereof in the separate financial statements is different from that in the consolidated financial statements as stated below: 1) In the separate financial statements, the sum of the carrying amount of the equity investment originally held in the acquiree and the additional investment cost incurred is recorded as the initial investment cost of the equity investment changed into the cost method. 2) In the consolidated financial statements, it is required to judge whether such transactions constitute a package deal. If such transactions constitute a package deal, the Company accounts for such transactions as one transaction to acquire control. If such transactions do not constitute a package deal, the Company re-measures the fair value of the equity held in the acquiree prior to the date of acquisition, and records the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount as investment income for the current period; if the equity held in the acquiree prior to the date of acquisition involves other comprehensive income under equity method, such other comprehensive income is transferred to the income of the period in which the date of acquisition falls, except for other comprehensive income arising from re-measurement of changes in net liabilities or net assets of defined benefit plans. (3) In the event of no business combination: The initial investment cost is the purchase price actually paid if it is acquired by cash, or the fair value of the equity securities issued if it is acquired through issuance of equity securities, or determined in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 12 -- Debt Restructuring if it is acquired through debt restructuring, or determined in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 7 -- Exchange of Non-monetary Assets if it is acquired through exchange of non-monetary assets. 3. Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss Long-term equity investments in investees are measured using the cost method. Long-term equity investments in associates and joint ventures are measured using the equity method. 22. Investment properties N/A 23. Fixed assets (1). Criteria for recognition √ Applicable □ N/A Fixed assets are tangible assets held for production of goods, rendering of service, lease or operation and management with a useful life of more than one accounting year. A fixed asset is recognized if the 187 / 337 Annual Report 2021 economic benefits relating to it are very likely to flow to the Company and its cost can be reliably measured. (2). Method of depreciation √ Applicable □ N/A Annual Depreciation Residual value Category Depreciation depreciation rate period (years) rate (%) (%) Machinery and Straight line 5 5.00 19.00 equipment method Transportation Straight line 5 5.00 19.00 equipment method Electronic Straight line 3-5 5.00 19.00-31.67 equipment and method others Operating leased Straight line 3, 7 5.00 31.67, 13.57 equipment method (3). Identification basis, valuation method and depreciation method for fixed assets acquired under finance leases □ Applicable √ N/A 24. Construction in progress √ Applicable □ N/A 1. A construction in progress is recognized if the economic benefits relating to it are very likely to flow to the Company and its cost can be reliably measured. A construction in progress is measured at the actual cost incurred before it is completed and ready for intended use. 2. When a construction in progress is ready for intended use, it is transferred to fixed assets at its actual construction cost. A construction in progress that is ready for intended use but the final settlement of which has not yet been completed is transferred to fixed assets at estimated value first, and after the completion of final settlement, the estimated value is adjusted according to the actual cost, but the accrued depreciation is not adjusted. 25. Borrowing costs √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Recognition for capitalization of borrowing costs Borrowing costs incurred by the Company that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Other 188 / 337 Annual Report 2021 borrowing costs are recognized as expenses and charged to the current profit and loss. 2. Capitalization period of borrowing costs (1) Borrowing expenses are capitalized when all of the following conditions are met: 1) capital expenditure has been incurred; 2) borrowing expenses have been incurred; and 3) activities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced. (2) Where 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 shall be suspended. The borrowing expenses incurred during these periods shall be recognized as expenses for the current period until the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is resumed. (3) Capitalization of borrowing expenses shall be ceased when acquisition, construction or production of the qualifying asset has prepared for its intended use or sale. 3. Capitalization rate and capitalization amount of borrowing expenses As for the specific borrowings for the acquisition and construction or production of assets qualifying for capitalization, the to-be-capitalized amount of interests shall be determined in light of the actual cost incurred on the current specific borrowings (including the amortization of discounts or premiums determined using the effective interest method) minus the income of interests earned from the unused borrowings by depositing it in the bank or investment income from such borrowing by making it as a temporary investment; where a general borrowing is used for the acquisition and construction or production assets qualifying for capitalization, the Company shall calculate and determine the to-be- capitalized amount of interests on the general borrowing by multiplying the weighted average value of the accumulative expenditures to asset minus the specific borrowing by the capitalization rate of the general borrowing used. 26. Biological assets □ Applicable √ N/A 27. Oil and gas assets □ Applicable √ N/A 189 / 337 Annual Report 2021 28. Right-of-use assets √ Applicable □ N/A Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost; the cost includes: 1) initial measurement amount of lease liabilities; 2) lease payments made on or before the commencement date of the lease term, where relevant acquired amount related to lease incentives is excluded if there are lease incentives; 3) initial direct expenses incurred by the lessee; and 4) costs expected to be incurred by the lessee for dismantling and removing the leased assets, restoring the place of the leased assets, or restoring the leased assets to the state provided under lease provisions. The Company depreciates right-of-use assets by using the straight-line method. If there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership of the leased asset by the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the leased asset over its useful life. If there is no reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership of the leased asset by the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the leased asset over the shorter of the lease term and its remaining useful life. 29. Intangible assets (1). Measurement, service life and impairment test √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Intangible assets include land use rights, patents, and software etc. and are measured at cost initially. 2. An intangible asset with a finite useful life is amortized over its useful life in a systematical and rational expected realization of economic benefits relative to the intangible asset, or is amortized using the straight-line method if it is impossible to determine expected realization reliably. The specific years are as follows: Item Amortization period (years) Land use rights 30 Patents 10 Software 3-5 (2). Accounting policy on internal research and development expenditures □ Applicable √ N/A 190 / 337 Annual Report 2021 30. Impairment of long-term assets √ Applicable □ N/A For long-term equity investments, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets, intangible assets with a finite useful life and other long-term assets, if there’s an indication of impairment at the balance sheet date, the Company assesses their recoverable amount. Goodwill arising from business combinations and intangible assets with an infinite useful life are tested for impairment every year regardless of whether there’s an indication of impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment together with the relevant groups of assets or combinations of groups of assets. If the recoverable amount of a long-term asset is less than its carrying amount, the difference is measured as impairment loss of the asset and recognized in profit or loss for the current period. 31. Long-term prepaid expenses √ Applicable □ N/A Long-term prepaid expenses are expenses that have already been incurred but should be amortized over a period of more than one year (excluding one year). Long-term prepaid expenses are stated as the amount actually incurred and shall be amortized evenly by stages within the benefit period or specified period. If an item of long-term prepaid expenses will not benefit the subsequent periods, the amortized value of the item that has not yet been amortized is wholly transferred to profit or loss for the current period. 32. Contract liabilities (1). Recognition method for contract liabilities √ Applicable □ N/A The Company presents contract assets or contract liabilities in the balance sheet according to the relationship between the performance of contractual obligations and payment by customers. Contract assets and contract liabilities under a same contract are presented at the net amount after offsetting each other. The obligations of the Company for transferring goods to customers corresponding to considerations that have been received or receivable are presented as contract liabilities. 33. Employee benefits (1). Accounting treatment of short-term employee benefits √ Applicable □ N/A 191 / 337 Annual Report 2021 1. Employee benefits include short-term benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits. 2. Accounting treatment of short-term employee benefits The short-term employee benefits actually incurred are recognized as liabilities in the accounting period during which employee services are rendered, and included in profit or loss for the current period or the cost of related assets. (2). Accounting treatment of post-employment benefits √ Applicable □ N/A Post-employment benefits are classified into defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. (1) In the accounting period during which employee services are rendered, the amount in contribution as calculated according to the defined contribution plan is recognized as liabilities and included in profit or loss for the current period or the cost of related assets. (2) The accounting treatment of a defined benefit plan generally involves the following steps: 1) According to the projected unit credit method, use the unbiased and consistent actuarial assumptions to estimate demographic variables and financial variables, measure the obligation arising from the defined benefit plan and determine the period to which the relevant obligation belongs. Meanwhile, discount the obligation arising from the defined benefit plan, in order to determine the present value of the defined benefit plan obligation and the current service cost; 2) If the defined benefit plan has assets, the deficit or surplus resulting after reducing the present value of the defined benefit plan obligation by the fair value of the defined benefit plan is recognized as a net liability or asset of the defined benefit plan. If the defined benefit plan has a surplus, the net assets of the defined benefit plan are measured at the lower of surplus in the defined benefit plan and asset ceiling; 3) At the end of the reporting period, the cost of employee benefits arising from the defined benefit plan is recorded as service cost, net interest on the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan, and changes arising from re-measurement of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan, wherein the service cost and the net interest on the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan are included in profit or loss for the current period or the cost of related assets, and the changes arising from re-measurement of the net liabilities or net assets of the defined benefit plan are included in other comprehensive income, which will not be reserved to profit or loss in subsequent periods, but may be transferred within the scope of equity. 192 / 337 Annual Report 2021 (3). Accounting treatment of termination benefits √ Applicable □ N/A If dismissal benefits are provided to employees, the liabilities of employee benefits from the dismissal benefits are recognized at the earlier of the following and are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period: (1) when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the dismissal benefits provided due to the cancellation of the labor relationship or lay-off suggestions; (2) when the Company recognizes costs or expenses in connection with restructuring involving dismissal benefits. (4). Accounting treatment of other long-term employee benefits √ Applicable □ N/A Other long-term employee benefits are accounted for in accordance with the provisions applicable to defined contribution plans if they are qualified as defined contribution plans, otherwise, are accounted for in accordance with the provisions applicable to defined benefit plans. In order to simplify the accounting treatment, the total net amount of the cost of employee benefits arising from the defined benefit plans that is recorded as service cost, net interest on the net liabilities or net assets of other long-term employee benefits, changes arising from re-measurement of the net liabilities or net assets of other long-term employee benefits and other components is included in profit or loss for the current period or the cost of related assets. 34. Leasing liabilities √ Applicable □ N/A On the lease inception date, the Company recognizes the present value of lease payments not paid as lease liabilities. The interest rate implicit in the lease is used as the discount rate for calculating the present value of the lease payments; if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined, the incremental borrowing interest rate of the Company is used as the discount rate. The difference between the lease payments and the present value thereof is considered as unrecognized finance charges; in each period during the lease term, interest expenses are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period according to the discount rate of the present value of recognized lease payments. Variable lease payments not included in measurement of lease liabilities are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period when the actually arise. Where, after the lease inception date, there are changes in the substantial fixed payment, the payables 193 / 337 Annual Report 2021 expected on the basis of the residual value of the guarantee, the index or ratio used for determining the lease payment, the evaluation results or actual exercising of purchase option, renewal option or lease termination option, the Company re-measures the lease liability as per the present value of the lease payment after change, and adjust the book value of the use right assets accordingly. Where the book value of the use right asset has been reduced to zero, but the lease liability still needs to be further reduced, the Company includes the residual amount in the current profit or loss. 35. Provisions √ Applicable □ N/A 1. An obligation arising from any external guarantee, instigation, product quality warranty, onerous contract or other contingencies is recognized as a provision if it is a present obligation assumed by the Company, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. 2. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation. The carrying amount of provisions is reviewed at the balance sheet date. 36. Share-based payments √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Categories of share-based payments Share-based payments include equity-settled share-based payments and cash-settled share-based payments 2. Accounting treatment for implementation, modification and termination of share-based payment plan (1) Equity-settled share-based payments Equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by employees that can be executed immediately upon being granted, are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date, and recognized as related costs or expenses with a corresponding adjustment to capital reserve. At each balance sheet date during the vesting period, equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by employees that cannot be executed until services in the vesting period are completed or required performance conditions are satisfied, are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments 194 / 337 Annual Report 2021 at the grant date based on the best estimate of exercisable numbers of equity instruments, and recognized as related costs or expenses with a corresponding adjustment to capital reserve. For equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by other parties, if the fair value of services from other parties can be measured reliably, they are measured at the fair value of services from other parties at the date when such services are received. If the fair value of services from other parties cannot be measured reliably but the fair value of the equity instruments can be measured reliably, they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the date when such services are received. The fair value of the equity instruments are recognized as related costs or expenses, with a corresponding increase in owners’ equity. (2) Cash-settled share-based payments Cash-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by employees that can be executed immediately upon being granted, are recognized as related costs or expenses based on the fair value of liabilities assumed by the Company at the grant date, with a corresponding increase in liability. At each balance sheet date during the vesting period, cash-settled share-based payments in exchange for services rendered by employees that cannot be executed until services in the vesting period are completed or required performance conditions are satisfied, are measured at the fair value of liabilities assumed by the Company based on the best estimate of exercisable conditions, and recognized as related costs or expenses and relevant liabilities. (3) Modification and termination of share-based payment plan In case the Company modifies a share-based payment plan, if the modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Company will include the incremental fair value of the equity instruments granted in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received. If the modification increases the number of the equity instruments granted, the Company will include the fair value of additional equity instruments granted in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received. If the Company modifies the exercisable conditions of the share-based payment plan in a manner beneficial to the employee, the Company will consider the modified exercisable conditions when dealing with exercisable conditions. If the modification decreases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Company will continue to measure the amount recognized for services received at the fair value of the equity instruments 195 / 337 Annual Report 2021 at the grant date without including the decremental fair value of the equity instruments. If the modification decreases the number of the equity instruments granted, the Company will treat the decreased number as the cancelled number of equity instruments granted. If the Company modifies the exercisable conditions in a manner unbeneficial to the employee, the Company will not consider the modified exercisable conditions when dealing with exercisable conditions. If cancellation or settlement of the equity instruments granted occurs (not due to unsatisfaction of exercisable conditions) during the vesting period, the Company will account for the cancellation or settlement of the equity instruments granted as an acceleration of vesting, and recognize immediately the amount that otherwise would have been recognized over the remainder of the vesting period. 37. Preferred shares, perpetual bonds and other financial instruments □ Applicable √ N/A 38. Revenue (1). Accounting policies adopted for income recognition and measurement √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Principles for revenue recognition At the beginning date of a contract, the Company assesses the contract to identify individual performance obligations contained in the contract and determine whether individual obligations are to be performed during a period of time or at a specific time point. An obligation meeting one of the following conditions is one to be performed within a period of time, and the remaining are obligations to be performed at a specific time point: (1) the customer receives and consumes the economic benefits from the performance of the Company when the Company performs its obligations; (2) the customer can control the goods in progress during the performance of the Company; or (3) the goods generated during the performance process of the Company have irreplaceable uses, and the Company is entitled to payment for the portion completed during the entire contract term. The Company recognizes revenue according to the performance progress during the period of time for obligations to be performed during a period of time. If the performance progress cannot be determined reasonably, and the Company is expected to be paid based on the costs incurred, the Company recognizes revenue according to the amount of costs incurred until the performance progress can be determined reasonably. For obligations to be performed at a specific time point, the Company recognizes revenue 196 / 337 Annual Report 2021 when the customer receives the control over the relevant goods or services. The following will be considered when determining whether the customer has obtained the control over the goods: (1) the Company has the present rights of receiving payments for such goods, that is, the customer has the present obligation of making payment for the goods; (2) the Company has transferred the legal title in the goods to the customer, that is, the customer has acquired the legal title in the goods; (3) the Company has transferred the physical goods to the customer, that is, the customer is in possession of the physical goods; (4) the Company has transferred major risks and rewards of the legal title in the goods to the customer, that is, the customer has acquired the major risks and rewards of the legal title in the goods; (5) the customer has accepted the goods; and (6) there are other signs indicating that the customer has acquired the control over the goods. 2. Principles of revenue measurement (1) The Company measures the revenue according to the transaction price allocated to individual performance obligations. The transaction price refers to the amount of the consideration expected to be received by the Company on the basis of transferring goods or providing services to the customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of a third party and amounts expected to be refunded to the customer. (2) If a contract contains a variable consideration, the Company determines the best estimate of the variable consideration according to the expected value or the most likely amount; however, the transaction price containing the variable consideration does not exceed the amount for which no material reversal of recognized revenue is highly probable when relevant uncertainty is eliminated. (3) If a contract contains a major financing portion, the Company determines the transaction price as the amount payable in cash when the customer obtains the control over the goods or services. The difference between the transaction price and contract consideration is amortized using the effective interest method during the term of the contract. If the Company expects that the interval between the acquisition of the goods or services by the customer and the payment of prices by the customer will not exceed one year from the commencement date of the contract, no significant financing factor is considered. (4) If a contract contains two or more performance obligations, at the beginning date of the contract, the Company allocates the transaction price to individual performance obligations according to the relative 197 / 337 Annual Report 2021 proportion of the individual sale prices of the goods promised under such individual performance obligations. 3. Specific methods for revenue recognition (1) Revenue from sales of goods Revenue from sales of goods denotes contractual obligations to be performed at a time point. Our sales include sales to the domestic market and sales to foreign markets. Goods sold to the domestic market: 1) Under the direct sale model and the distribution mode, the Company recognizes the revenue when the goods sent have been delivered to customers with customers’ receipt given to the Company. For goods sold attached with return conditions, the Company recognizes the revenue according to the amount of the consideration expected to be received by the Company on the basis of transferring goods to the customer, and recognizes liabilities to write off the revenue according to the expected amount to be refunded due to the return of goods; for goods required for installment and inspection after sales, the Company recognizes the revenue when such goods have been installed and inspected with customers’ acceptance certificate given to the Company. If the Company shares profits from sales of product to downstream end customers, the Company recognizes the revenue at the goods price agreed between the parties upon the delivery of goods to the customer and reconciliation, and recognizes shared revenue according to the share profit reconciliation statement when the profits from sales of goods are realized. 2) Under the commissioned sales mode, the Company recognizes the revenue when it receives the list of commissioned sales from the customer. Goods exported to overseas markets: The Company mainly adopts FCA for export of goods. Under this mode, the Company recognizes revenue when it delivers goods at the designated location with export customs clearance procedures completed. (2) Other incomes Other revenues denote contractual obligations to be performed at a time point/during a specific period of time. For installation services provided by the Company, the Company recognizes the revenue when it has completed the services and received customers’ acceptance certificate; for repair and maintenance services provided by the Company, the Company recognizes the revenue when it has completed the services and received payments; for patrol inspection services provided by the Company, the Company determines the service performance progress by using the output approach, and recognizes the revenue 198 / 337 Annual Report 2021 according to the performance progress; for patent license services provided by the Company, the Company recognizes the revenue when the patent license is delivered; for technology development services provided by the Company, the Company recognizes the revenue when it has completed the services or when the agreed time point of service acceptance is reached. (2). Description of differences in the accounting policies in revenue recognition due to different operating modes adopted for the same business type □ Applicable √ N/A 39. Contract costs √ Applicable □ N/A Assets related to contract costs include contract acquisition costs and contract performance costs. If costs incurred by the Company for acquiring a contract are expected to be recovered, such costs are recognized as an asset as contract acquisition costs. The costs incurred by the Company for performing a contract are recognized as an asset of contract performance costs if they do not fall within the scope of other relevant standards, like inventories, fixed assets, or intangible assets, and meet all the following conditions: 1. The cost is directly related to a present or expected contract, including direct labor, direct materials, manufacturing expenses (or similar expenses), costs explicitly to be borne by customers, and other costs arising from the contract; 2. The cost leads to the increase in resources of the Company for fulfilling its performance obligations in the future; and 3. The cost is expected to be recovered. Assets related to contract costs are amortized on the same basis as recognizing incomes from goods related to assets, and are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. If the book value of the assets related to contract costs is greater than the consideration expected to be acquired by transferring the goods or services related to such assets less the costs expected to be incurred, the Company makes provision for impairment for the exceeding portion and recognizes impairment loss of assets. In the event of a change in the factors causing impairment in a prior period, so that the consideration expected to be acquired by transferring the goods or services related to such assets 199 / 337 Annual Report 2021 less the costs expected to be incurred is greater than the book value of such assets, the provision for impairment made for such assets is reversed and recognized in the profit or loss for the current period; provided, however, that the reversed book value of such assets shall not exceed the book value of such assets at the reversal data on the assumption that no provision for impairment has been made. 40. Government grants √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Government grants are recognized if (1) the Company meets the conditions attaching to the government grants; and (2) the Company will receive the government grants. Government grants in the form of monetary assets are measured at the amount received or receivable. Government grants in the form of non-monetary assets are measured at fair value, or if their fair value is unavailable, at nominal amount. 2. Determination and accounting treatment of government grants related to assets Government grants related to assets are government grants which are offered for purchasing, constructing or otherwise acquiring long-term assets as provided by the applicable government documents. In the absence of such express provision in the applicable government documents, government grants related to assets are those with a primary condition that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire long-term assets. Government grants related to assets are offset against the carrying amount of the relevant assets or recognized as deferred. Government grants related to assets recognized as deferred shall be included in profit or loss over the service life of the relevant assets on a reasonable and systemic basis. Government grants measured at nominal amount are directly recognized in profit or loss for the current period. In case of sale, transfer, retirement or damage of the relevant assets before the end of intended service life, the balance of the unallocated deferred is transferred to profit or loss for the period in which the assets are disposed of. 3. Determination and accounting treatment of government grants related to income Government grants related to income are government grants other than those related to assets. Government grants related to both assets and income in which it is difficult to make a distinction between the portion related to assets and the portion related to income are wholly classified as government grants related to income. Government grants related to income as compensation for expenses or losses to be 200 / 337 Annual Report 2021 incurred in subsequent periods are recognized as deferred and in the period for recognizing the relevant costs, expenses or losses, included in profit or loss for the current period or offset against the relevant costs. Government grants related to income as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred are directly included in profit or loss for the current period or offset against the relevant costs. 4. Government grants related to daily operations of the Company are recognized in other income or offset against the relevant costs and expenses depending on the nature of economic business. Government grants not related to daily operations of the Company are recognized in non-operating income or expenses. 5. Accounting treatment of policy preferential loans and interest subsidies (1) If the Ministry of Finance appropriates the interest subsidies to the lending bank, who then grants the loan to the Company at the policy preferential rate, the loan is stated as the amount actually received, and the borrowing cost is calculated according to the principal of the loan and the policy preferential rate. (2) If the Ministry of Finance directly appropriates the interest subsidies to the Company, the interest subsidies are offset against the borrowing cost. 41. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities √ Applicable □ N/A 1. The difference between the tax base of an asset or liability and its carrying amount (or in case of an item not recognized as asset or liability whose tax base can be determined according to the applicable tax law, the difference between its tax base and carrying amount) is recognized as a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability according to the tax rate applicable to the period in which the asset or liability is expected to be recovered or settled. 2. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent of the amount of income tax payable that will be available in future periods against which deductible temporary differences are deductible. At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets not recognized in prior periods are recognized if there’s conclusive evidence that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in future periods against which the deductible temporary differences are deductible. 3. At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in future periods to allow the benefit of the deferred tax assets to be utilized. If it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available, the reduced amount is reversed. 4. The income taxes and deferred taxes are included in profit or loss for the current period as income 201 / 337 Annual Report 2021 tax expenses or gains, except the income taxes arising from any: (1) business combination; or (2) transaction or event directly recognized in owners’ equity. 42. Leases (1). Accounting treatment of operating leases □ Applicable √ N/A (2). Accounting treatment of finance leases □ Applicable √ N/A (3). Method for determination and accounting treatments of lease under the New Lease Standard √ Applicable □ N/A 1. The Company as the lessee On the lease inception date, the Company recognizes a lease with a lease term of not more than 12 months and not containing an option as a short-term lease; and recognizes a low-value assets lease for a lease in which individually leased assets have a low value when they are new. If the Company subleases or expects to sublease the leased asset, the original lease is not recognized as a low-value assets lease. For short-term leases and low-value assets leases, the Company recognizes lease payment in the costs of relevant assets or the profit or loss for the current period by using the straight-line method in each period during the lease term. Except for short-term leases and low-value assets leases subject to simplified treatment above, on the lease inception date, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases. (1) Right-of-use assets Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost; the cost includes: 1) initial measurement amount of lease liabilities; 2) lease payments made on or before the commencement date of the lease term, where relevant acquired amount related to lease incentives is excluded if there are lease incentives; 3) initial direct expenses incurred by the lessee; and 4) costs expected to be incurred by the lessee for dismantling and removing the leased assets, restoring the place of the leased assets, or restoring the leased assets to the state provided under lease provisions. The Company depreciates right-of-use assets by using the straight-line method. If there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership of the leased asset by the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the leased asset over its useful life. If there is no reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain 202 / 337 Annual Report 2021 ownership of the leased asset by the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the leased asset over the shorter of the lease term and its remaining useful life. (2) Leasing liabilities On the lease inception date, the Company recognizes the present value of lease payments not paid as lease liabilities. The interest rate implicit in the lease is used as the discount rate for calculating the present value of the lease payments; if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined, the incremental borrowing interest rate of the Company is used as the discount rate. The difference between the lease payments and the present value thereof is considered as unrecognized finance charges; in each period during the lease term, interest expenses are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period according to the discount rate of the present value of recognized lease payments. Variable lease payments not included in measurement of lease liabilities are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period when the actually arise. Where, after the lease inception date, there are changes in the substantial fixed payment, the payables expected on the basis of the residual value of the guarantee, the index or ratio used for determining the lease payment, the evaluation results or actual exercising of purchase option, renewal option or lease termination option, the Company re-measures the lease liability as per the present value of the lease payment after change, and adjust the book value of the use right assets accordingly. Where the book value of the use right asset has been reduced to zero, but the lease liability still needs to be further reduced, the Company includes the residual amount in the current profit or loss. 2. The Company as the lessor On the lease inception date, the Company classifies a lease in which almost all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the leased asset have been substantially transferred as a finance lease, and recognizes all other leases as operating leases. (1) Operating lease In each period during the lease term, the Company recognizes lease payments as rental incomes by using the straight-line method/units of production method; initial direct expenses incurred are capitalized, and amortized on the same basis for recognizing lease incomes for recognizing in the profit or loss for each period.The variable lease payments acquired by the Company that are related to operating leases and not recognized in lease payments are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period when they 203 / 337 Annual Report 2021 actually occur. 43. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates □ Applicable √ N/A 44. Changes in significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (1). Changes in significant accounting policies √ Applicable □ N/A Remarks (name and amount of Changes in accounting policies line items in financial Approval procedures and associated reasons statements that have been materially affected) Implement the amended Approved by the management Refer to the table below for Accounting Standard for details Business Enterprises No. 21 - Leases Other information (1) The Company implements the amended Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 21 - Lease (hereinafter referred to as the New Lease Standard) from January 1, 2021 (hereinafter referred to as the Date of Initial Application). 1) For contracts existing prior to the Date of Initial Application, the Company opts not to assess whether such contracts are leases or contain leases. 2) For lease contracts in which the Company is the lessee, the Company adjusts the amounts of the initial retained earnings of the current reporting period and other relevant items in the financial statements according to the cumulative effects between the application of the New Lease Standard and the original standard on the Date of Initial Application, but makes no adjustment to comparable periods.

Management of credit risk (1) Evaluation of credit risk The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether the credit risk of the underlying financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition. In determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort, including quantitative and qualitative analysis based on historical data, ranking of external credit risks and forward-looking information. The Company compares the risk of a default occurring on a 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 based on individual financial instrument or a group of financial instruments with similar credit risk characteristics, to determine the change of the risk of a default occurring on a financial instrument over the expected life. 300 / 337 Annual Report 2021 The Company considers the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly when one or more of the following quantitative and qualitative criteria are met: 1) The quantitative criterion primarily refers to a certain percentage of increase in the probability of default over the remaining life of the financial instruments as of the balance sheet date when comparing with that at initial recognition of the financial instruments; 2) The qualitative criterion includes, inter alia, adverse material changes in business or financial conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations, and an actual or expected significant adverse change in the technological, market, economic, or legal environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations. (2) Definition of defaulted or credit-impaired assets A financial asset is defined as defaulted when the financial instrument meets one or more conditions stated as below, and the criterion of defining defaulted asset is consistent with that of defining credit- impaired asset: 1) significant financial difficulty of the debtor; 2) a breach of contract terms with binding force by the debtor; 3) it is becoming probable 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, has granted to the debtor a concession(s) that the creditor would not otherwise consider. 2. Measurement of ECL Key parameters to measure ECL include the probability of default, loss given default and the exposure at default. The Company established models of the probability of default, loss given default and the exposure at default on the basis of quantitative analysis on historical statistical data (such as counterparty ranking, guarantee methods, collateral category, and repayment way) and forward-looking information. 3. The reconciliation of the opening balance and the closing balance of the provision for impairment of financial instruments is described in detail in VII.4, VII.5, VII.6, VII.8, VII.10, and VII.16 of Section X. 4. Credit risk exposure and credit risk concentration The Company’s credit risk is primarily from cash and bank balances and receivables. In order to control the risks associated with aforementioned items, the Company has taken the following measures. (1) Cash and bank balances The credit risk of the Company is limited because the Company has deposited bank deposits and other monetary funds in banks with high credit ratings. (2) Receivables The Company regularly evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers with deals on credit, and selects to deal with approved and creditworthy customers subject to the results of the credit assessment 301 / 337 Annual Report 2021 with monitoring the balance of its receivables, so as to ensure that the Company is not exposed to significant risk of bad debt. No collaterals are required since the Company only deals with third parties that are approved and creditworthy. The concentrated credit risks are managed by customers. As of December 31, 2021, the Company is exposed to certain concentration of credit risks, as the Company’s accounts receivable from top 5 customers have accounted for 67.07% of the total balance of accounts receivable (December 31, 2020: 86.37%). The Company held no collateral or other credit ranking measures for the balance of accounts receivable. The maximum exposure to the Company is the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet. (II) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company is in shortage of funds in performing obligations that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may arise from an inability to sell a financial asset at fair value as soon as possible, a counterparty’s inability to pay its contractual liabilities, the accelerated maturity of liabilities, or an inability to generate expected cash flows. In order to control this risk, the Company balances the continuity and flexibility of financing by using various financing measures such as notes settlement and bank loans comprehensively and adopting both long-term and short-term financing methods to optimize the financing structure. The Company has received credit facilities from a number of commercial banks to satisfy its working capital requirements and capital expenditures.

Market risk mainly includes interest rate risk and currency risk. 1. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to the risk of fair value interest rate due to financial instruments with a fixed interest rate and to the risk of cash flow interest rate due to financial instruments with a floating interest rate. The Company determines the proportion between the fixed-rate financial instruments and the floating-rate financial instruments based on market conditions, and maintains appropriate portfolios of financial instruments through regular review and monitoring. The cash flow interest rate risk exposed to the Company relates primarily to the Company’s floating-rate interest-bearing bank borrowings. As at December 31, 2021, the principal of the Company’s floating-rate interest-bearing bank borrowings amounted to RMB 509,637,141.27 (December 31, 2020: RMB 334,317,535.43). On the basis of the assumption that the interest rate has changed 50 basic points, where all other variables are held constant, it will bring no material impacts on the Company’s total profits and shareholders’ equity. 2. Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the currency risk is primarily associated with the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities dominated in foreign currencies. If the monetary assets and liabilities dominated in foreign currencies are imbalanced in a short time, the Company will purchase and sell foreign currencies at the market exchange rate to keep the net risk exposure acceptable. The closing balance of the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities dominated in foreign currencies is disclosed in VII.82 of Section X in details. XI. Disclosure of fair value 1.
