Purchasing model The Company purchases raw materials in accordance with material requirements planning generated from the master production schedule (MPS) that is formed based on sales orders/preliminary applications. As production in the Company involves a wide variety of raw materials, they are divided into purchased parts and processed parts. The Company’s purchasing division is split into the Purchase Strategy Department and the Purchase Implementation Department. The former is responsible for supplier development, management, maintenance, and price negotiation while the latter is tasked with fulfillment of purchase plans and material tracking. The Company has set up a logistics department to take charge of the storage, issue, and receipt of materials. Furthermore, the Company has laid down such regulations and procedures as procedures for Supplier Development and Approval, Material Planning, Implementation of Purchases, Administration for Material Receipt, and Material Issue, to regulate in a strict manner the implementation of every purchasing procedure. 4. Production model (1) In-house production In the reporting period, the Company manufactures products based on both sales volume and sales forecast. In general cases, the Company determines its purchase plan and production schedule in accordance with orders placed by clients. In circumstances where orders from some clients are large and involve short lead time, given a certain period of time is required for purchase, production, and delivery of equipment products, the company may, after receipt of approval, implement some sort of production of relatively standardized products based on forecasts with an aim to maintain the continuity and scale of production. The main process of production in the Company is as follows: it generates the MPS in accordance with orders or forecast-based applications as well as product delivery planning and material supply scheduling, and follows the MPS to work out production scheduling, material requirements planning and outsourcing planning; the production department is tasked to finish installation, debugging, inspection of finished products and product receipt; at the time of delivery, to make transportation easier, the Company’s products may be split into smaller modules which are then assembled and tested after arrival at client sites.

After the arrival of equipment at the client site, the Company is responsible for on-site installation and commissioning, equipment inspection for acceptance, and quality assurance (some distributors may offer assistance). (iii) Industry landscape 1. Industrial development stage, basic features and major technical thresholds 1.1 PV equipment industry 13 / 236 2024 Interim Report (1) The development of PV equipment industry in recent years Countries across the world attach great importance to the development of the PV industry, which is a top priority in the transformation of the global energy mix. China has led the world for many years in a row in newly installed capacity of PV power. Data from China’s National Energy Administration show that from January to June 2024, China’s newly installed capacity of PV increased by 30.7% year-on-year to 102.48GW, and the figure in June alone amounted to 23.33GW, up by 35.6% year on year and 22.5% month on month. Despite the increasing installed capacity, the PV industry currently faces a stark challenge from excess capacity. The PV industry in the first half of 2024 presented a mixed picture. While capacity in the PV sector continued to ratchet up, related products suffered price declines. Poly-Si and wafer prices have shed over 40%, compared with a more than 15% decline in cell and module prices. The value of output (excluding inverters) across the industry chain declined 36.5% from the previous year while the export amount dropped 35.4% year on year. Still and all, the PV industry is expected to have a promising future in the long run. With continuing technological advances and declining costs, PV energy will be widely promoted and applied, and its leadership in clean energy solutions will be further cemented. A. Introduction to PV equipment industry Increased installed capacity in the PV sector has led to production expansion across the industry chain. Furthermore, continuous technological progress in all PV procedures accelerates production capacity replacement. Market demand for equipment derives from the need for production expansion and replacement. Since the PV industry faces overproduction for the time being, demand for PV equipment is subdued in some way. While technological iteration can trigger new demand for equipment in some procedures, demand for equipment has shrunk moderately, as equipment technological iteration for the above equipment usually consumes a long time. B. The effect of technological advances on the PV equipment industry The development of China’s PV equipment industry is closely related to technological progress. To make progress in the PV industry, it is always crucial to improve photoelectric conversion efficiency and cut production costs. In 2024, LECO/LIF, which performs well in efficiency improvement, is universally applied in the production of TOPCON; cell- and module-side SMBB/OBB have been further promoted and used; a number of companies have rolled out BC cells over time; perovskite and perovskite lamination technology have garnered growing attention. New technologies and processes can mature and be popularized rapidly. A well-developed new technology or process can see increasing penetration in a short time. Therefore, PV equipment suppliers need to launch new products in line with prevalent technologies in the PV industry to make technological progress. (2) Trends of technological innovation in the PV equipment industry Improving photoelectric conversion efficiency and cutting production costs is not only a technical priority, but also an approach to future development in the PV industry. Likewise, new products should be launched on a continual basis in the PV equipment industry so as to cater to the need for technological advances in the PV industry. In years to come, technological innovations in the PV industry will be mainly hallmarked by the following trends: A. N-type cells and corresponding equipment will draw market attention over time According to the forecast of CPIA on changes in average conversion efficiency of cell technologies of all kinds from 2021 to 2030, as PERC cells’ conversion efficiency continues to improve and draws near to the theoretical limit, N-type cell technology, which excels in efficiency, will be prioritized among other technologies. N-type cells mainly comprise TOPCon Mono-Si Cell, HJT Cell, and XBC Cell. B. Cell processing methods will co-exist, with PV cell efficiency equipment being the focus Due to market requirements for cost reduction and efficiency improvement, new equipment aimed at efficiency improvement will emerge as PV technology continues to evolve. Such equipment failed to work under outdated technology, while with technological advances in the PV industry, such equipment will start to play a role in helping N-type technology become more efficient, and demand for such equipment in the industry will be boosted. C. Busbar printing technology will continue to progress, and new printing technologies will emerge Currently, almost all metallic cell busbars are prepared through screen printing, which will remain the mainstream technique in the years to come. Busbar manufacturers and equipment makers have begun to develop other metallic printing technologies such as stencil printing, electroplating, laser transfer 14 / 236 2024 Interim Report printing and inkjet printing. As cost reduction and efficiency improvement are pursued in the industry, demand for more competitive types with high aspect ratios such as OBB will continue to pick up, and new technologies to prepare cell busbars will emerge. 1.2 Lithium-ion battery/ESS Module/PACK line industry Due to the accelerated transformation of renewable energy across the world, ESS policies, and a better market environment, ESS market demand continues to rise globally. GGII forecasts that the shipment of lithium-ion batteries for energy storage for 2024 is expected to surpass 240GWh, with electrical energy storage to be the largest driver for 2024 growth. In the domestic market, the installed capacity of wind and PV power sustained a high growth. According to data from the National Energy Administration, China’s newly installed capacity of wind and PV power from January to June 2024 gained 26.5% year on year to 128.3 GW. As shown in the statistics by China Energy Storage Alliance (CESA), China’s newly installed capacity of new types of energy storage from January to June 2024 hit 26.4 GWh, up by 48.5% year on year. In overseas markets, the USA accelerates the pace of energy storage projects and sees robust growth in large-sized installations thanks to the improved economical performance and higher demand for renewable energy. Europe is now one of the fastest-growing markets as many countries have rolled out support policies and a few GWh-level large energy storage projects are underway. 1.3 Domestic semiconductor assembly and testing equipment industry According to the SEMI report, the back-end equipment sector is expected to recover in the second half of 2024 following two years of contraction stemming from weak semiconductor demand. The sales of semiconductor testing equipment in 2024 are estimated to increase by 7.4% to USD6.7 billion, while the figure for assembly equipment is projected to rise by 10.0% to USD4.4 billion. Additionally, back-end niche markets are expected to gain momentum in 2025 when the sales of testing equipment and assembly equipment will surge by 30.3% and 34.9%, respectively. Growth in these niche markets will be bolstered by the increasing complexity of semiconductor devices used for high-performance computing as well as anticipated recovery in demand from end-use markets such as automobile, industry and consumer electronics. The global sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment in 2024 are estimated to hit USD109 billion, edging up by 3.4% year on year. In 2024, the semiconductor assembly equipment industry sees intensifying competition as the market size gets bigger. In the process, large international companies, which now enjoy competitive advantages, will face rivalry from China’s local players. China’s assembly equipment companies are still reliant on imports for manufacturing equipment such as bonders, cutters, die bonders and AOI, so the imported equipment remains to be replaced by domestic products. 2.

The above R&D expenses contributed significantly to improving the performance of existing products and 26 / 236 2024 Interim Report developing new products, R&D failures and unsuccessful commercialization of R&D results also took place. The Company will continue to spend generously on R&D of innovative technologies. If the Company experiences a lot of R&D failures or unsuccessful commercialization of R&D achievements resulting from high technical thresholds, technical economy, demand shift, or other factors, the Company may not only see more period expenses and report weaker profitability, but also suffer adverse effects in varying degrees on its prospects. (3) Risks of core personnel turnover and loss of technical confidentiality The Company, which was rated as a national new and high-tech enterprise as early as 2015, has accumulated a lot of technologies. The accumulation is critical for the Company to sustain its operations. Core technologies of the Company are primarily developed by its R&D team, in which key technical personnel play a pivotal role. In case of core personnel turnover or loss of technical confidentiality, the operating results of the Company may be subject to adverse effects. (4) Risks of technical infringements Through product R&D efforts, the Company has accumulated some core technologies that have been successfully applied. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has been granted a cumulative total of 1,808 pieces of intellectual property including 211 invention patents, 1,296 utility model patents, 117 software copyrights, and 3 industrial design patents. In the event that the above patents and other intellectual property rights held by the Company are deemed void, or competent authorities declare the Company infringes on patents or technologies, or other companies file lawsuits on the intellectual property against the Company as a business strategy, the Company may not only involve itself in litigation or disputes but also suffer adverse effects on its operating results due to affected product sales. (ii) Operating risks (1) Risks of unfavorable changes in major clients The Company derives the lion’s share of income from the production of wafers, cells, and modules in the PV industry chain. These niche markets are highly concentrated. Likewise, the Company’s sales revenue was also highly concentrated from January to June 2024, with the top five clients accounting for 46.37% of the total income. Due to lower profitability across the main PV industry chain, some clients of the Company experienced adverse changes in operating performance and financial position and became loss-making from January to June this year. If the PV industry fails to recover in the short term, some clients may go bankrupt. Such circumstances may adversely impact the Company’s operating results. (2) Risks of fluctuations in gross margin of products Over recent years, gross margins of the Company’s PV equipment and lithium-ion battery equipment have been fluctuating in some way due to market competition, industrial policies, technical level, etc. Notably, against the backdrop of lower profitability across the main PV industry chain, it is not possible to exclude such circumstances where major products of the Company experience cutting prices, rising costs, and declining gross margin due to price negotiations with downstream clients, industry competition and adverse changes in support policies, thus causing adverse effects to the Company’s results. (3) Risks of managerial decision-making mistakes Managerial decision-making in the Company is susceptible to trends in technological development, policy changes, market competition environment, macroeconomic fluctuations, etc. As the Company’s products are primarily applied in emerging industries such as PV and NEVs, where industry development changes rapidly because of instability, it is difficult for the Company to make managerial decisions. By cooperating with other firms through strategic investment and joint R&D, the Company can swiftly seize market opportunities to bolster its core competitiveness and sustain its competitiveness in the mid to long term. However, such corporate behaviors as strategic investment and joint R&D require better managerial decision-making. 27 / 236 2024 Interim Report Therefore, while the Company has taken many measures to make decisions in a well-conceived manner, it cannot exclude the possibility of mistakes in managerial decision-making, which may cause significant adverse effects. (4) Risks of contract compliance and execution As of June 30, 2024, the Company had RMB14.341 (tax inclusive) worth of orders in hand. In cases of slower-than-expected contract execution, or even suspension of contract performance or contract cancellation due to fluctuations in the downstream sectors, significant unfavorable operational changes of major clients who contribute orders in hand, etc., the Company’s business reserves and operating results may be exposed to adverse effects. (iii) Financial risks (1) Risks of inventory price declines The Company has a large sum of inventory, whose book value by the end of June 2024 amounted to RMB7,340.25 million. Products shipped in transit occupied a large proportion. By the end of the reporting period, the book value of products shipped in transit reached RMB6,147.07 million, representing 83.74% of the total inventory, mainly attributable to the long period of time required for installation, commissioning, and trial operation of the Company’s equipment products from delivery to client acceptance. While the Company has made provisions for the drop in inventory prices in accordance with accounting policies and reality, the possibility of failed sales of inventories or a sharp decline in inventory prices due to market changes or other unforeseeable reasons cannot be excluded, thus exposing the Company to risks from a drop in inventory value. (2) Risks of a lengthy cycle from inventory delivery to client acceptance In the first half of 2024, the Company primarily derived income from sales of equipment products. Such products involve a long period of time from delivery to client acceptance. If clients don’t accept products shipped by the Company in a timely manner, income volatility of the Company will rise because of affected confirmation of sales income, and inventories will occupy funds longer and collection of payments for products will be postponed, thus mounting liquidity risks. (3) Risks of collection of receivables The Company has a large sum of receivables, the book value of which by the end of the reporting period amounted to RMB2,197.03 million, comprising 14.70% of the total assets. In the reporting period, the failure of some downstream clients to pay for products according to contractual terms led to a few overdue receivables. As an increasing number of companies in the PV sector suffer from losses, and operations in corporate clients worsen, the Company is likely to see a further rise in receivables and overdue receivables. If receivables cannot be collected timely in full or even none can be reclaimed, the Company will face adverse effects in terms of operating results and cash flows. (4) Risks of the Company deriving the lion’s share of income from PV equipment products In the reporting period, PV equipment products contributed more than 90% of the Company’s operating income. PV companies were hard hit by severe losses in the reporting period. If this situation persists or worsens, the Company’s results may be subject to significant adverse effects. (5) Risks of preferential tax Equipment made by the Company is operated or controlled by independently developed or designed software. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has obtained 117 copyrights of computer software and launched 63 software products in regard to these pieces of software. In accordance with the Notice of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the VAT Policies for Software Products (Finance No.100 [2011]) and other documents, independently developed operating system software, that is installed in the Company’s equipment for sale, is entitled to enjoy the real-time VAT rebate policy as an embedded software product. The Company was rated as a new and high-tech enterprise as early as 2015 and retained the title through the re-inspection in 2021 (certificate number: GR202132005383). As stipulated in the Administrative Measures for the Identification of New and High-tech Enterprises, the certificate is valid 28 / 236 2024 Interim Report for three years from the date of issuing, and certificate holders should file an application for re-inspection before the expiry date to have the certificate extended by another term of three years once passing the re-inspection. In accordance with preferential tax policies for new and high-tech enterprises, the above qualified companies can enjoy preferential business income tax at the rate of 15% in specified periods. If the above preferential tax policies are abolished or become less favorable, or the Company’s title as a new and high-tech enterprise experiences significant unwelcome changes, the Company’s operating results will suffer adverse effects. (6) Risks of mounting costs The Company is likely to face increasing raw material and transportation costs. Over recent years, the cost of labor in China has climbed at a fast pace over these years, due to economic growth and demographic shifts. To cut production costs, clients in the downstream sectors require equipment manufacturers to improve product performance and capacity. This may drive up the per-unit cost that equipment manufacturers have to bear. If the above costs rise, the Company may be exposed to adverse effects in terms of product cost, gross margin, and operating results. (iv) Industry risks 1. Risks of weaker market demand In the reporting period, the Company’s clients mostly engage in PV and energy storage battery sectors. If industrial policies and international trade policies experience drastic unfavorable changes, sectors such as PV and NEVs may be exposed to adverse effects, then the Company’s sales and operating results will be affected negatively. Therefore, in the event of unfavorable fluctuations such as sliding demand in these sectors, particularly the PV industry, production and operations in the Company will face significant adverse effects. 2. Risks of drastic changes in key technologies or technical routes in the downstream sectors The Company specializes in the R&D, design, production, and sales of high-end intelligent equipment that mainly targets such downstream sectors as crystalline silicon PV, electrochemical energy storage, and semiconductor assembling and testing. Key technologies or technical routes in these downstream sectors are prone to drastic changes. In the event of drastic changes in key technologies or technical routes in the downstream sectors, supply-demand relations for current products are likely to change, thus affecting or radically changing production and operations in the Company. 3. Risks of fast-growing production capacity in the downstream sectors The PV industry, a main downstream sector for the Company, has seen rapid capacity ramp-up in recent years, leading to periodic overcapacity and low capacity utilization. If the PV industrial technologies stagnate or if new demands driven by technological advances and the need to upgrade existing capacity shrink, the Company will be exposed to significant adverse effects in regard to product market size and sales. (v) Macro environmental risks 1. Risks of cyclical fluctuations in the macroeconomy The Company falls into the special-purpose equipment manufacturing sector, in which the interplay between supply and demand is closely related to fixed asset investment scale and growth in the downstream sectors. Susceptible to changes in national macro economy and industrial policies, demand for fixed asset investment in the downstream sectors shows a moderate level of volatility. This may affect demand for the core products of the Company. 2. Risks of exchange rate fluctuations The Company not only engages in product export, but also buys raw materials and parts from overseas. Such types of business are mainly priced and settled in USD. As various factors may affect the RMB exchange rate, its fluctuations face uncertainties in some way. If exchange rates experience unwelcome changes, the Company’s exports and operating results will be affected negatively. 29 / 236 2024 Interim Report 3. Risks of force majeure Natural calamities such as earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis as well as public emergency events can cause damage to the Company’s property and casualties and disrupt normal production and operations, thus leading to direct economic loss or declines in profitability.

V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates Notes on specific accounting policies and accounting estimates: √ Applicable □ N/A 101 / 236 2024 Interim Report The Company determines accounting policies and accounting estimates appropriate for its businesses, including policies for accounts receivable, accounts receivable financing, valuation of inventories, depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of right-of-use assets, the timing of revenue recognition, and share-based payments; as well as accounting estimates for impairment of inventories and bad debt provisions for receivables. The following disclosures cover specific accounting policies and accounting estimates formulated by the Company in accordance with the actual production and operating characteristics. 1. Declaration of compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises The financial statements prepared by the Company comply with the requirements of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and present true and complete information on the financial positions, operating results, changes in equity, and cash flows of the Company. 2. Accounting period The Company adopts the calendar year from January 1 to December 31 as its accounting year. 3. Operating cycle √ Applicable □ N/A The Company’s operating cycle is 12 months. 4.

The Company’s subsidiaries determine their functional currencies based on the primary economic environment in which they operate, with Autowell Japan Co., Ltd.’s functional currency being the Japanese yen, Autowell (Singapore) Pte Ltd.’s functional currency being the U.S. dollar, and Autowell (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd’s functional currency being the ringgit. The financial statements are presented in RMB. 5. Method and basis for determining the materiality criteria √ Applicable □ N/A Item Materiality criteria Material receivables that require provision for Items representing more than 0.03% of the bad debt on an individual basis original value of accounts receivable at the end of the period Material construction in progress Items representing more than 1% of the original value of fixed assets at the end of the period Material receivables with an age of more than Items representing more than 0.1% of the one year or overdue original value of total assets at the end of the period 6. Accounting treatment method for the combination of businesses under or not under the same control √ Applicable □ N/A Combination of businesses under the same control: The assets and liabilities acquired by the acquirer, including goodwill resulting from the acquisition of the acquiree by the ultimate controller, are measured on the basis of the carrying values as recorded in the ultimate controller’ consolidated financial statements for the acquiree’s assets and liabilities on the date of the combination. The difference between the carrying value of the net assets acquired in the combination and the carrying value of the consideration paid for the combination (or the total face value of the shares issued) is adjusted to equity premium in capital reserves, and the retained earnings is adjusted to the extent that the equity premium in the capital surplus is not sufficient to eliminate the difference. Combination of businesses not under the same control: The costs of combination refer to the fair value of the assets surrendered, the liabilities incurred or assumed, and the equity securities issued by the acquirer on the acquisition date for gaining control over the acquiree. The difference between the higher 102 / 236 2024 Interim Report combination costs and the share of fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recognized as goodwill. If the combination costs are less than the share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets obtained from the combination, the difference is included in the current profit or loss. Each of the identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities of the acquiree acquired in the combination that meets the conditions for recognition is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. Costs incurred directly due to the combination are recorded into current profit or loss at the time of occurrence. The transaction costs incurred for issuing equity securities or debt securities for the combination are included in the initial amount recognized for the equity securities or debt securities. 7. Criteria for determining control and methods for preparing consolidated financial statements √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Criteria for determining control The Company and all its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements based on control. Control refers to the cases where the Company has power over the investee, has rights to variable returns from participating in the relevant activities of the investee, and can use the power over the investee to influence its return amount. 2. Procedures of consolidation The Company regards the entire group of businesses as one accounting entity and prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with unified accounting policies to reflect the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the business group. The effects of intra-group transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as among subsidiaries, are eliminated. Where an intra-group transaction indicates an impairment loss of relevant assets, the full amount of such loss is recognized. If the accounting policies or accounting periods adopted by subsidiaries are inconsistent with those of the Company, necessary adjustments are made to align with the Company’s accounting policies and accounting periods when preparing the consolidated financial statements. The portion of equity, net profit or loss, and total comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling shareholders is separately presented under the owners’ equity section in the consolidated balance sheet and under the net profit item and total comprehensive income item in the consolidated income statement. If the share of losses attributable to non-controlling shareholders in a subsidiary in the current period exceeds the non-controlling interest in the shareholders’ equity of the subsidiary at the beginning of the period, the excess is charged against non-controlling shareholders’ equity. (1) Addition of subsidiaries or businesses In the reporting period, if a subsidiary or business is added due to a business combination under common control, the operating results and cash flows of the subsidiary or business from the beginning of the period to the end of the reporting period are included in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the opening balances and comparative figures in the consolidated financial statements are adjusted to reflect the assumption that the reporting entity, as a combined entity, has been part of the 103 / 236 2024 Interim Report consolidated group since the date when the ultimate controlling party began to exercise control. If control over an investee under common control is obtained due to additional investment or other reasons, any gains or losses, other comprehensive income, and other changes in net assets recognized in relation to the equity investment held prior to gaining control, from the later of the date the original equity was acquired or the date the acquirer and the acquiree were under common control until the date of the combination, are reversed and adjusted against the opening retained earnings or current profit or loss in the comparative period of the consolidated financial statements. During the reporting period, the addition of subsidiaries or businesses as a result of a non-common control business combination is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of purchase on the basis of the fair value of each identifiable asset, liability, and contingent liability determined at the date of purchase. If control over an investee not under common control is obtained due to additional investment or for other reasons, the equity interest held in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date is remeasured at its fair value on the acquisition date. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value is recognized in the current period’s investment income. Any other comprehensive income and other changes in equity that were recognized in relation to the equity interest held prior to the acquisition date, which may be reclassified to profit or loss in future periods, are reclassified to investment income in the current period as of the acquisition date. (2) Disposal of subsidiaries ① General treatment When control over an investee is lost as a result of the disposal of a portion of the equity investment or for other reasons, the remaining equity interest after disposal is remeasured at its fair value on the date of loss of control. The difference between the sum of the consideration received from the disposal and the fair value of the remaining equity interest, less the share of the net assets of the original subsidiary attributable to the proportion of equity previously held (including goodwill) from the acquisition date or combination date, is recognized as investment income in the period when control is lost. Any other comprehensive income and changes in equity recognized under the equity method that are related to the original subsidiary’s equity investment and can be reclassified into profit or loss in future periods are reclassified into current period investment income at the time of loss of control. ② Stepwise disposal of subsidiaries When a subsidiary’s equity investment is disposed of in stages through multiple transactions until control is lost, if the terms, conditions, and economic impact of each transaction meet one or more of the following criteria, it typically indicates that these transactions are accounted for as a single package deal: i. The transactions are entered into simultaneously or in contemplation of one another; 104 / 236 2024 Interim Report ii. The transactions as a whole achieve a complete commercial result; iii. The realization of one transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one of the other transactions; or iv. One transaction is not economically justified when viewed in isolation, but is economically justified when considered together with other transactions. If the transactions are considered as a single package deal, they are accounted for as a single disposal of the subsidiary which causes the loss of control over the subsidiary. The difference between each disposal price before the loss of control and the share of the subsidiary’s net assets corresponding to the disposed investment is recognized in other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements, and upon loss of control, this cumulative amount is reclassified into profit or loss for the period in which control is lost. If the transactions are not considered as a single package deal, each disposal before the loss of control is accounted for as a partial disposal of the subsidiary’s equity investment without loss of control. Upon loss of control, the general treatment for the disposal of subsidiaries is applied. (3) Purchase of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries When additional long-term equity investment is acquired due to the purchase of non-controlling interests, the difference between the newly acquired long-term equity investment and the share of the subsidiary’s net assets attributable to the proportion of newly acquired shares, calculated cumulatively from the acquisition date or combination date, is adjusted against the share premium in the capital reserves in the consolidated balance sheet. If the capital reserves are insufficient to offset the difference, retained earnings are adjusted. (4) Partial disposal of equity investments in subsidiaries without loss of control The difference between the consideration received from the disposal and the share of the subsidiary’s net assets attributable to the disposed long-term equity investment, calculated cumulatively from the acquisition date or combination date, is adjusted against the share premium in the capital reserves in the consolidated balance sheet. If the capital reserves are insufficient to offset the difference, retained earnings are adjusted. 8. Classification of joint venture arrangements and accounting treatment of joint operations □ Applicable √ N/A 9. Determination criteria of cash and cash equivalents Cash equivalents refer to investments held by businesses with short term (generally refer to a period within 3 months from the purchasing date), highly liquid, readily convertible to cash with known amount, and with small risk of value fluctuation. 10. Foreign currency transactions and translation of foreign currency statements √ Applicable □ N/A 105 / 236 2024 Interim Report 1. Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB using the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction for accounting purposes. On the balance sheet date, the balances of foreign currency monetary items are translated at the spot exchange rate on that date. The resulting exchange differences, except for those arising from foreign currency-specific borrowings related to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, which are treated by the principles of capitalizing borrowing costs, are recognized in the current period’s profit or loss. 2. Translation of foreign currency financial statements The assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. For equity items, other than “undistributed profits,” the historical exchange rates at the time of the transactions are used for translation. Income and expense items in the income statement are translated using the spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Upon disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative translation differences related to that foreign operation, which were previously recognized in equity, are reclassified to profit or loss in the period of disposal. 11. Financial instruments √ Applicable □ N/A The Company recognizes a financial asset, financial liability, or equity instrument when it becomes a party to a financial instrument contract. 1. Classification of financial instruments Based on the Company’s business model for managing financial assets and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows, financial assets are classified at initial recognition as financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), and financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The Company classifies financial assets as measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met and the financial assets are not designated as at FVTPL: – The business model aims to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows; – The contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company classifies financial assets as at FVOCI (debt instruments) if both of the following conditions are met and the financial assets are not designated as at FVTPL: – The business model aims both to collect contractual cash flows and to sell the financial asset; – The contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount 106 / 236 2024 Interim Report outstanding. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, the Company may, at initial recognition, irrevocably designate them as at FVOCI (equity instruments). This designation is made on an individual investment basis, and the related investment meets the definition of an equity instrument from the issuer’s perspective. In addition to the financial assets measured at amortized cost and FVOCI mentioned above, the Company classifies all other financial assets as at FVTPL. At initial recognition, if it eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that would otherwise be classified as measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as a financial asset measured at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or at amortized cost. A financial liability may be designated at FVTPL at initial recognition if it meets one of the following conditions: 1) The designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. 2) The financial liability is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, following the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the financial liability is provided internally on that basis to key management personnel. 3) The financial liability contains an embedded derivative that needs to be separated. 2. Basis for recognizing and measuring financial instruments (1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost Financial assets measured at amortized cost include notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, long-term receivables, debt investments, etc. These assets are initially measured at fair value, with related transaction costs included in the initial recognition amount. Accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component and those for which the Company has decided not to consider the financing component of one year or less are initially measured at the contractual transaction price. Interest calculated using the effective interest method during the holding period is recognized in the current profit or loss. Upon recovery or disposal, the difference between the consideration received and the carrying value of the financial asset is recognized in the current profit or loss. (2) Financial assets at FVOCI (debt instruments) Financial assets measured at FVOCI (debt instruments) include accounts receivable financing, other debt investments, etc. These assets are initially measured at fair value, with related transaction costs included in the initial recognition amount. Subsequently, these financial assets are measured at fair value, 107 / 236 2024 Interim Report with changes in fair value, except for interest calculated using the effective interest method, impairment losses or gains, and foreign exchange gains or losses, recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensive income to current profit or loss. (3) Financial assets at FVOCI (equity instruments) Financial assets at FVOCI (equity instruments) include investments in other equity instruments, etc. These assets are initially measured at fair value, with related transaction costs included in the initial recognition amount. Subsequently, these financial assets are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income. Dividends received are recognized in current profit or loss. Upon derecognition, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensive income to retained earnings. (4) Financial assets at FVTPL Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets held for trading, derivative financial assets, and other non-current financial assets. These assets are initially measured at fair value, with related transaction costs recognized in current profit or loss. Subsequently, these financial assets are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in current profit or loss. (5) Financial liabilities at FVTPL Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading, derivative financial liabilities, etc. These liabilities are initially measured at fair value, with related transaction costs recognized in current profit or loss. Subsequently, these financial liabilities are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in current profit or loss. Upon derecognition, the difference between the carrying value and the consideration paid is recognized in the current profit or loss. (6) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, long-term borrowings, bonds payable, and long-term payables. These liabilities are initially measured at fair value, with related transaction costs included in the initial recognition amount. Interest calculated using the effective interest method during the holding period is recognized in the current profit or loss. Upon derecognition, the difference between the consideration paid and the carrying value of the financial liability is recognized in the current profit or loss. 108 / 236 2024 Interim Report 3. Criteria and measurement methods for derecognition and transfer of financial assets The Company derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met: – The contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; – The financial asset has been transferred, and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred to the transferee; – The financial asset has been transferred, although the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, it has not retained control over the financial asset. If the Company and a counterparty modify or renegotiate a contract in a way that results in a substantial modification, the original financial asset is derecognized, and a new financial asset is recognized based on the modified terms. If, in a transfer of a financial asset, the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the asset is not derecognized. In assessing whether a financial asset transfer meets the above derecognition criteria, the Company applies the principle of substance over form. The Company distinguishes between transfers of the financial assets as a whole and transfers of a portion of a financial asset. If the transfer of financial assets as a whole meets the derecognition criteria, the difference between the following two amounts is recognized in profit or loss in the current period: (1) The carrying value of the transferred financial asset; and (2) The sum of the consideration received from the transfer and any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income that is associated with the transferred financial asset (in cases where the financial asset is a debt instrument measured at FVOCI). If the transfer of a portion of a financial asset meets the derecognition criteria, the carrying value of the financial assets as a whole is allocated between the portion that is derecognized and the portion that is not derecognized, based on their relative fair values. The difference between the following two amounts is recognized in profit or loss in the current period: (1) The carrying value of the portion that is derecognized; and (2) The sum of the consideration received for the portion that is derecognized and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income that is associated with the portion that is derecognized (in cases where the financial asset is a debt instrument measured at FVOCI). If the transfer of a financial asset does not meet the derecognition criteria, the Company continues to recognize the financial asset and recognizes the consideration received as a financial liability. 4. Derecognition of financial liabilities A financial liability, or part of it, is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is 109 / 236 2024 Interim Report discharged. If the Company enters into an agreement with a creditor to replace an existing financial liability with a new financial liability, and the terms of the new financial liability are substantially different from those of the existing financial liability, the existing financial liability is derecognized and a new financial liability is recognized. If the terms of an existing financial liability are substantially modified, the existing financial liability, or part of it, is derecognized, and the modified financial liability is recognized as a new financial liability. When a financial liability is fully or partially derecognized, the difference between the carrying value of the derecognized financial liability and the consideration paid (including any transferred non-cash assets or new financial liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss in the current period. If the Company repurchases a portion of a financial liability, the carrying value of the financial liability is allocated on the repurchase date between the portion that continues to be recognized and the portion that is derecognized, based on their relative fair values. The difference between the carrying value allocated to the derecognized portion and the consideration paid, including any transferred non-cash assets or new financial liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss in the current period. 5. Methods for determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities For financial instruments with active markets, the fair value is determined based on quoted prices in those active markets. For financial instruments for which no active market exists, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. In applying valuation techniques, the Company uses valuation methods that are appropriate under the current circumstances and are supported by sufficient and reliable data and other relevant information. The inputs used in the valuation are consistent with the characteristics of the asset or liability considered by market participants in the transaction, with a preference given to observable inputs when available. Unobservable inputs are used only when relevant observable inputs are not available or are impractical to obtain. 6. Impairment testing and accounting treatment for financial instruments The Company accounts for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets at FVOCI (debt instruments), and financial guarantee contracts based on expected credit losses. The Company considers reasonable and supportable information about past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions in assessing credit risk and calculating the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows and the expected cash flows. This present value is weighted by the probability of default to determine the expected credit loss. For receivables and contract assets arising from transactions governed by Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 14—Revenue, the Company measures the loss allowance based on the expected credit losses over the entire lifetime of the asset, regardless of whether a significant financing component 110 / 236 2024 Interim Report exists. For lease receivables arising from transactions governed by Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 21—Leases, the Company also measures the loss allowance based on the expected credit losses over the entire lifetime of the lease. For other financial instruments, the Company assesses changes in credit risk since initial recognition at each balance sheet date. The Company evaluates whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has significantly increased since initial recognition by comparing the risk of default on the balance sheet date with the risk of default at initial recognition, to assess relative changes in default risk over the expected lifetime of the financial instrument. Generally, if a financial instrument is more than 30 days past due, the Company considers that the credit risk has increased significantly unless there is strong evidence that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk of a financial instrument is low on the balance sheet date, the Company considers that the credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition. If the credit risk of a financial instrument has significantly increased since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance based on the expected credit losses over the entire lifetime of the financial instrument. If the credit risk has not significantly increased, the Company measures the loss allowance based on the expected credit losses for the next 12 months. The increase or reversal of the loss allowance is recognized as impairment loss or gain in profit or loss in the current period. For financial assets measured at FVOCI (debt instruments), the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income, and the impairment loss or gain is recognized in profit or loss in the current period, without reducing the carrying value of the financial asset presented in the balance sheet. If there is objective evidence that a receivable has been credit-impaired, the Company recognizes an impairment loss on that receivable on an individual basis. For financial instruments other than the receivables for which individual impairment has been recognized, the Company groups financial instruments based on credit risk characteristics and determines expected credit losses on a collective basis. The categories and basis for determining expected credit losses for accounts receivable, accounts receivable financing, and other receivables are as follows: Item Category Determination basis Expected credit losses are Accounts receivable, Aging category calculated and an aging schedule of other receivables other receivables against the 111 / 236 2024 Interim Report Item Category Determination basis expected credit loss rate prepared by referring to historical credit loss experience, combined with current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Expected credit losses are calculated and an aging schedule of other receivables against the Accounts receivable expected credit loss rate prepared Note type financing by referring to historical credit loss experience, combined with current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. If the Company no longer reasonably expects to recover the contractual cash flows of a financial asset in full or in part, the carrying amount of the financial asset is written off directly. 12. Notes receivable □ Applicable √ N/A 13. Accounts receivable √ Applicable □ N/A Please refer to “11. Financial instruments” in “V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates” in this section. 14. Accounts receivable financing √ Applicable □ N/A Please refer to “11. Financial instruments” in “V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates” in this section. 15. Other receivables √ Applicable □ N/A Please refer to “11. Financial instruments” in “V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates” in this section. 16. Inventories √ Applicable □ N/A Categories of inventories, inventory valuation method, inventory system, and amortization method for low-value consumables and packaging materials √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Classification and cost of inventories 112 / 236 2024 Interim Report Inventories are classified into raw materials, work in progress, self-produced semi-finished goods, finished goods, goods dispatched, and materials consigned for processing. Inventories are initially measured at cost. The cost of inventories includes purchase costs, processing costs, and other expenditures incurred to bring the inventories to their current location and condition. 2. Inventory valuation method Inventories are valued at the weighted average cost method when issued. 3. Inventory system The perpetual inventory system is adopted. 4. Amortization method for low-value consumables and packages (1) Low-value consumables are amortized using the one-time write-off method; (2) Packaging materials are amortized using the one-time write-off method. Recognition criteria and methods for provision for inventory write-downs √ Applicable □ N/A Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value on the balance sheet date. When the cost of inventories exceeds their net realizable value, a provision for inventory write-downs is recognized. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion, estimated selling expenses, and relevant taxes. For finished goods, merchandise, and materials held for sale directly, the net realizable value is determined by the estimated selling price less estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes in the normal production and operation process. For materials that require processing, the net realizable value is determined by the estimated selling price of the finished goods produced, less the estimated costs of completion, estimated selling expenses, and relevant taxes in the normal production and operation process. For inventories held to fulfill sales contracts or service contracts, the net realizable value is calculated based on the contract price. If the quantity of inventories held exceeds the quantity ordered under the sales contract, the net realizable value of the excess inventory is based on the general selling price. Categories and criteria for provision for inventory write-downs based on grouped inventories, and the basis for determining the net realizable value of different types of inventories √ Applicable □ N/A 113 / 236 2024 Interim Report Inventory grouping The basis for determining the net Grouping basis categories realizable value Raw materials - Grouped Net realizable value determined Inventory aging by aging based on aging Merchandise - Grouped Net realizable value determined Inventory aging by aging based on aging Self-produced Net realizable value determined semi-finished goods - Inventory aging based on aging Grouped by aging Methods and basis for calculating the net realizable value of inventories grouped by aging √ Applicable □ N/A Calculation methods for the net realizable value Aging of inventories Within 2 years 100% of the carrying amount 2–3 years 50% of the carrying amount Over 3 years 0% of the carrying amount 17. Contract assets √ Applicable □ N/A Methods and criteria for recognizing contract assets √ Applicable □ N/A Contract assets or contract liabilities are presented in the balance sheet based on the relationship between the fulfillment of performance obligations and customer payments. The right to consideration for goods or services transferred to a customer, which is conditional on factors other than the passage of time, is presented as a contract asset. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis. The Company’s unconditional right to consideration from customers, which depends solely on the passage of time, is presented separately as receivables. Categories and criteria for provision for bad debts based on credit risk characteristics □ Applicable √ N/A Method for calculating aging-based credit risk characteristics for contract assets □ Applicable √ N/A Determination of individual provisions for bad debts and criteria for individual provisions □ Applicable √ N/A 114 / 236 2024 Interim Report 18. Non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale □ Applicable √ N/A Criteria for classification and accounting treatment of non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale □ Applicable √ N/A Recognition criteria and presentation of discontinued operations □ Applicable √ N/A 19. Long-term equity investments √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Criteria for determining joint control and significant influence Joint control refers to the shared control over an arrangement in accordance with relevant agreements, where decisions about the relevant activities of the arrangement require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Where the Company and other joint venture partners jointly control an investee and have rights to the investee’s net assets, the investee is considered as a joint venture of the Company. Significant influence refers to the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an investee, but not control or jointly control with other parties the formulation of those policies. If the Company can exert significant influence over an investee, the investee is considered an associate of the Company. 2. Determine the initial investment cost (1) Long-term equity investments arising from business combinations For long-term equity investments in subsidiaries arising from business combinations under common control, the initial investment cost is determined based on the share of the carrying value of the equity of the acquiree in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the combination date. The difference between the initial investment cost and the carrying value of the consideration paid is adjusted against the share premium in the capital reserves. If the share premium is insufficient to offset the difference, retained earnings are adjusted. When control over an investee under common control is obtained due to additional investment or other reasons, if the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment recognized under the above principles is different from the sum of the carrying value of the long-term equity investment before the combination and the carrying value of the additional consideration paid on the combination date, the difference is adjusted against the share premium. If the share premium is insufficient to offset the difference, it is deducted from retained earnings. For long-term equity investments in subsidiaries arising from business combinations not under common control, the initial investment cost is determined based on the acquisition cost as of the acquisition date. When control over an investee not under common control is obtained due to additional 115 / 236 2024 Interim Report investment or for other reasons, the initial investment cost is determined based on the carrying value of the previously held equity investment plus the cost of the additional investment. (2) Long-term equity investments acquired through means other than business combinations For long-term equity investments acquired through cash payments, the initial investment cost is determined based on the actual purchase price paid. For long-term equity investments acquired through the issuance of equity securities, the initial investment cost is determined based on the fair value of the equity securities issued. 3. Subsequent measurement and the recognition of profit or loss (1) Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method The Company accounts for long-term equity investments in subsidiaries using the cost method, unless the investment is classified as held for sale. Except for the portion of the purchase price or consideration paid that includes declared but unpaid cash dividends or profits at the time of acquisition, the Company recognizes the current investment income based on the share of the declared cash dividends or profits distributed by the investee. (2) Long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method Long-term equity investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Where the initial investment cost exceeds the share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee at the time of the investment, the excess is not adjusted to the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment. If the initial investment cost is less than the share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee at the time of the investment, the difference is recognized in profit or loss for the period and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. The Company recognizes its share of the net profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the investee, to which it is entitled or for which it is responsible, as investment income and other comprehensive income, respectively, while adjusting the carrying value of the long-term equity investment. The carrying value of the long-term equity investment is reduced by the portion of profits or cash dividends declared by the investee that is attributable to the Company. For other changes in the equity of the investee, aside from net profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and profit distributions (referred to as “other equity changes”), the carrying value of the long-term equity investment is adjusted and the change is recognized in owners’ equity. When recognizing the share of the investee’s net profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and other equity changes, the Company bases these amounts on the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee at the time the investment was acquired. Adjustments are made to align the investee’s net profit and other comprehensive income with the Company’s accounting policies and reporting periods before recognition. 116 / 236 2024 Interim Report Unrealized gains and losses from internal transactions between the Company and its associates or joint ventures are eliminated in proportion to the Company’s share, and investment income is recognized on that basis, except where the transferred or sold assets constitute a business. Unrealized internal transaction losses with the investee are fully recognized if they are related to asset impairment losses. If the investee incurs net losses, the Company reduces the carrying value of the long-term equity investment and any other long-term interests that substantially form part of the net investment in the investee up to zero, except when the Company shall bear additional losses. If the associate or joint venture subsequently generates net profits, the Company resumes recognizing its share of profits after covering any unrecognized losses. (3) Disposal of long-term equity investments When disposing of a long-term equity investment, the difference between its carrying value and the actual proceeds received is recognized in profit or loss in the current period. For partial disposals of long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, if the remaining equity interest is still accounted for using the equity method, the portion of other comprehensive income previously recognized under the equity method is reclassified proportionately, based on the same basis as if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities. Other changes in owners’ equity are reclassified proportionately to profit or loss for the period. When the disposal of equity investments results in the loss of joint control or significant influence over the investee, any other comprehensive income previously recognized under the equity method is accounted for based on the same principles as if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities when the equity method is discontinued. All other changes in owners’ equity are reclassified to profit or loss upon discontinuation of the equity method. When the disposal of a portion of an equity investment results in the loss of control over the investee, and in the preparation of individual financial statements, if the remaining equity interest allows the Company to exert joint control or significant influence over the investee, the remaining equity interest is accounted for using the equity method. The remaining equity interest is adjusted as if it were accounted for using the equity method from the date of acquisition. The portion of other comprehensive income recognized before obtaining control over the investee is reclassified proportionately, based on the same basis as if the investee had directly disposed of related assets or liabilities. Other changes in owners’ equity recognized under the equity method are reclassified proportionately to profit or loss for the period. If the remaining equity interest does not allow the Company to exert joint control or significant influence over the investee, it is recognized as a financial asset, and the difference between its fair value on the date control is lost and its carrying value is recognized in profit or loss for the period. All other comprehensive income and changes in owners’ equity recognized prior to the acquisition of 117 / 236 2024 Interim Report control over the investee are reclassified in full. When control over a subsidiary is lost due to the stepwise disposal of equity investments through multiple transactions, and these transactions are part of a single package deal, all such transactions are accounted for as a single transaction that results in the disposal of the subsidiary’s equity investment and the loss of control. The difference between the disposal price and the carrying value of the equity investment corresponding to each disposal, prior to the loss of control, is recognized as other comprehensive income in the individual financial statements, and reclassified in full to profit or loss in the period when control is lost. If the transactions are not part of a single package deal, each transaction is accounted for separately. 20. Investment property N/A 21. Fixed assets (1) Recognition criteria √ Applicable □ N/A Fixed assets refer to tangible assets held for use in the production of goods, provision of services, rental, or managing operations, with a useful life exceeding one accounting period. Fixed assets are recognized when they simultaneously meet the following criteria: (1) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the fixed asset will flow to the enterprise; (2) The cost of the fixed asset can be measured reliably. Fixed assets are initially measured at cost (taking into account the effect of estimated dismantling costs). Subsequent expenditures related to fixed assets are included in the cost of the fixed assets when it is probable that the economic benefits related to them will flow to the enterprise and their cost can be reliably measured; the carrying value is derecognized for the replaced parts. All other subsequent expenditures are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred. (2) Depreciation method √ Applicable □ N/A Fixed assets are depreciated by the straight-line method, classified according to the categories of fixed assets, estimated useful life, and estimated residual value rate to determine the depreciation rate. For fixed assets that have recognized impairment losses, depreciation is calculated in future periods based on the carrying value after deducting the impairment provision and considering the remaining useful life. If different parts of a fixed asset have different useful lives or provide economic benefits to the enterprise in different ways, different depreciation rates or methods are selected, and depreciation is calculated separately. 118 / 236 2024 Interim Report The depreciation methods, depreciable period, residual value rates, and annual depreciation rates for each category of fixed assets are as follows: Depreciation Depreciable period Residual value Annual Categories method (year) rate depreciation rate Buildings and Straight-line 20 5.00 4.75 structures method Machinery Straight-line 10 5.00 9.50 equipment method Office equipment Straight-line 5 5.00 19.00 method Transportation Straight-line 4 5.00 23.75 equipment method Electronic Straight-line 3 5.00 31.67 equipment method Other equipment Straight-line 5 5.00 19.00 method When a fixed asset is disposed of or is expected to generate no future economic benefits from its use or disposal, it is derecognized. The amount of the proceeds from the sale, transfer, retirement, or destruction of a fixed asset, net of its carrying value and related taxes and fees, is recognized in profit or loss in the current period. 22. Construction in progress √ Applicable □ N/A Construction in progress is measured at actual costs. The actual costs include construction costs, installation costs, borrowing costs that qualify for capitalization, and other necessary expenditures incurred to bring the construction in progress to the intended usable state. When construction in progress reaches the intended usable state, it is transferred to fixed assets and depreciation begins in the following month. The Company’s criteria and timing for transferring construction in progress to fixed assets are as follows: Categories Criteria and timing for transfer to fixed assets (1) The main construction and ancillary works have been substantially completed; (2) The construction has met the intended design requirements and has been inspected and accepted by survey, design, construction, supervision, and other relevant units; (3) The Buildings and construction has passed inspection by external parties such as fire structures safety, land, and planning authorities; (4) If the construction project has reached the intended usable state but the final settlement of accounts has not yet been completed, the actual cost of the project is estimated and transferred to fixed assets from the date the intended usable state is reached. 119 / 236 2024 Interim Report Categories Criteria and timing for transfer to fixed assets (1) The relevant equipment and other supporting facilities have been Machinery fully installed; (2) The equipment has been tested and can operate equipment to be normally and stably for a period of time; (3) The production installed and equipment can produce qualified products consistently over a period commissioned of time; (4) The equipment has been inspected and accepted by asset management personnel and users. 23. Borrowing costs √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Principles for recognizing capitalization of borrowing costs Borrowing costs incurred by the Company that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets are capitalized and included in the cost of the relevant assets. Other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred and are included in profit or loss in the current period. Qualifying assets refer to assets such as fixed assets, investment properties, and inventories that necessarily take a substantial period to get ready for their intended use or sale. 2. Capitalization period of borrowing costs The capitalization period refers to the time from the commencement of capitalization of borrowing costs until the point at which capitalization ceases, excluding any period during which capitalization is suspended. Borrowing costs begin to be capitalized when all of the following conditions are met: (1) Expenditures for the asset have been incurred, including cash payments, the transfer of non-cash assets, or the assumption of interest-bearing liabilities for the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets; (2) Borrowing costs have been incurred; (3) Activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale. 3. Suspension of capitalization If there is an abnormal interruption in the acquisition, construction, or production process of a qualifying asset, and the interruption lasts for more than three consecutive months, capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended. If the interruption is necessary to bring the qualifying asset to its intended usable or saleable condition, capitalization of borrowing costs continues. Borrowing costs incurred 120 / 236 2024 Interim Report during the interruption are recognized as profit or loss in the current period, and capitalization resumes when the acquisition, construction, or production activities recommence. 4. Calculation method for the capitalization rate and capitalization amount of borrowing costs For specific borrowings obtained for the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets, the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalized is determined by subtracting the interest income earned from the unused borrowed funds deposited in the bank or the investment income earned from temporary investments, from the actual borrowing costs incurred during the period. For general borrowings used for the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets, the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalized is calculated by applying the capitalization rate to the weighted average of the asset expenditures that exceed the specific borrowings. The capitalization rate is determined based on the weighted average actual interest rate of the general borrowings. During the capitalization period, exchange differences on foreign currency-specific borrowings, including both principal and interest, are capitalized and included in the cost of the qualifying assets. Exchange differences on the principal and interest of other foreign currency borrowings, except for foreign currency-specific borrowings, are recognized in profit or loss in the current period. 24. Biological assets □ Applicable √ N/A 25. Oil and gas assets □ Applicable √ N/A 26. Intangible assets Valuation method for intangible assets (1) The Company initially measures intangible assets at cost upon acquisition. The cost of purchased intangible assets includes the purchase price, related taxes, and other expenditures directly attributable to bringing the asset to its intended use. (2) Subsequent measurement When acquiring an intangible asset, the Company assesses and determines its useful life. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized over the period during which they are expected to generate economic benefits for the Company. If the period during which the intangible asset is expected to generate economic benefits for the Company cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset is classified as having an indefinite useful life and is not amortized. (1) Useful life and the basis for its determination, estimation, amortization method, or review procedures √ Applicable □ N/A 121 / 236 2024 Interim Report 1. Estimation of useful life for intangible assets with a finite useful life Amortization Item Estimated useful life Basis for determining estimated useful life method Software 5 Straight-line Estimated benefit period method Land 50 Straight-line Estimated benefit period method Straight-line Estimated benefit period Patents 10 method Straight-line Estimated benefit period Others 3 method Non-patented Straight-line Estimated benefit period 10 technology method 2. Criteria for determining the indefinite useful life of intangible assets and procedures for reviewing useful life If the period during which the intangible asset is expected to generate economic benefits for the Company cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset is classified as having an indefinite useful life and is not amortized. The Company does not have any intangible assets with an indefinite useful life during the reporting period. (2) Scope of aggregation and accounting treatment for R&D expenditures √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Scope of aggregation for R&D expenditures The Company aggregates all expenses directly related to the R&D activities, including employee benefits for R&D personnel, expenses related to equity incentives, material input costs, depreciation and amortization expenses, and costs for outsourced R&D activities. 2. Specific criteria for differentiating the research phase and the development phase Expenditures on internal R&D projects are classified into research phase expenditures and development phase expenditures. Research phase: This stage involves original and planned investigations undertaken to acquire and understand new scientific or technical knowledge. Development phase: This stage involves applying research findings or other knowledge to a plan or 122 / 236 2024 Interim Report design for the production of new or substantially improved materials, devices, products, etc., before commencing commercial production or use. 3. Specific conditions for capitalizing development phase expenditures Expenditures during the research phase are included in the profit or loss of the current period when they occur. Development phase expenditures are capitalized as intangible assets when all of the following conditions are met; otherwise, they are included in the current profit or loss: (1) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it can be utilized or sold is established; (2) There is an intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (3) There is evidence of how the intangible asset will generate economic benefits, including demonstrating the existence of a market for the products produced using the intangible asset or for the intangible asset itself, or if it is to be used internally, demonstrating its usefulness; (4) There are adequate technical, financial, and other resources available to complete the development of the intangible asset and to use or sell it; (5) The expenditures attributable to the development phase of the intangible asset can be reliably measured. If it is not possible to distinguish between the expenditures attributable to the research phase and the development phase, all R&D expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. 27. Impairment of long-term assets √ Applicable □ N/A For long-term assets such as long-term equity investments, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets, intangible assets with finite useful lives, and oil and gas assets, an impairment test is conducted if there are indications of impairment as of the balance sheet date. If the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying value, the impairment provision is made according to the difference and included in the impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s net fair value after deducting disposal costs or the present value of the expected future cash flows from the asset. Provision for impairment is calculated and recognized on an individual asset basis. If it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs is determined. An asset group is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows independently. For goodwill arising from business combinations, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, and intangible assets that are not yet ready for use, impairment tests are conducted at least annually, regardless of whether there are indications of impairment. 123 / 236 2024 Interim Report When conducting a goodwill impairment test, the carrying value of goodwill resulting from the business combination is allocated to the relevant asset group or groups on a reasonable basis from the acquisition date. If it is difficult to allocate the goodwill to the relevant asset group, it is allocated to a group of asset groups. The relevant asset group or combination of asset groups are those that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. When performing an impairment test on an asset group or combination of asset groups that include goodwill, if there are indications of impairment for the asset group or combination of asset groups that are associated with the goodwill, an impairment test is first conducted on the asset group or combination of asset groups without considering the goodwill. The recoverable amount is calculated and compared with the carrying value, and any impairment loss is recognized. The impairment test is then conducted on the asset group or combination of asset groups that include the goodwill. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value, the impairment loss is first allocated to reduce the carrying value of the goodwill allocated to the asset group or group of asset groups. Any remaining impairment loss is then allocated proportionally to reduce the carrying values of the other assets in the asset group or combination of asset groups based on the relative carrying values of those assets. Once an impairment loss is recognized for the above assets, it is not reversed in subsequent accounting periods. 28. Long-term deferred expenses √ Applicable □ N/A Long-term deferred expenses refer to expenditures that have already been incurred but should be amortized over the current and subsequent periods, with an amortization period of more than one year. The amortization period and method for each expense item are as follows: Item Amortization method Amortization period Renovation costs Straight-line method Estimated benefit period Others Straight-line method Estimated benefit period 29. Contract liabilities √ Applicable □ N/A Contract assets or contract liabilities are presented in the balance sheet based on the relations between the fulfillment of performance obligations and customer payments. The obligation to transfer goods or provide services to a customer, for which consideration has been received or is receivable, is presented as a contract liability. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis. 124 / 236 2024 Interim Report 30. Employee benefits (1) Accounting treatment of short-term benefits √ Applicable □ N/A The Company recognizes the actual amount of short-term benefits incurred during the accounting period in which employees provide services to the Company as a liability and includes it in the current period’s profit or loss or the cost of relevant assets. The Company calculates and determines the amount of employee benefits for social insurance contributions and housing provident funds, as well as union fees and employee education expenses, based on the prescribed accrual basis and provision ratio during the accounting period in which employees render services. Employee welfare expenses incurred by the Company are recognized in profit or loss or the cost of relevant assets based on the actual amount incurred when they occur, with non-monetary benefits measured at fair value. (2) Accounting treatment of post-employment benefits √ Applicable □ N/A (1) Defined contribution plans The Company contributes to basic pension insurance and unemployment insurance for employees following the relevant local government regulations. The contributions are calculated based on the prescribed contribution base and percentage and are recognized as a liability and included in the current period’s profit or loss or the cost of relevant assets during the accounting period in which employees render services. Additionally, the Company participates in enterprise annuity plans/supplementary pension insurance funds approved by the relevant national authorities. Contributions to the annuity plans/local social insurance agencies, calculated as a percentage of total employee wages, are recognized as expenses in the current period’s profit or loss or the cost of relevant assets. (2) Defined benefit plans The Company attributes the benefit obligations arising from defined benefit plans to the period during which employees render services based on a formula determined by the projected unit credit method and recognizes the expenses in the current period’s profit or loss or the cost of relevant assets. The present value of defined benefit plan obligations, minus the fair value of defined benefit plan assets, results in a deficit or surplus that is recognized as a net defined benefit liability or asset. If a surplus exists in the defined benefit plan, the Company measures the net asset of the defined benefit plan at the lower of the surplus or the asset ceiling. All obligations under defined benefit plans, including those expected to be settled within twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render services, are 125 / 236 2024 Interim Report discounted using the market yield of government bonds or high-quality corporate bonds in an active market with maturity and currency that match the defined benefit plan obligations as of the balance sheet date. Service costs arising from defined benefit plans and the net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset are recognized in the current period’s profit or loss or the cost of relevant assets. Changes resulting from remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability or asset are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent accounting periods. Upon termination of the original defined benefit plan, amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to undistributed profits within equity. When a defined benefit plan is settled, the difference between the present value of the defined benefit plan obligations as of the settlement date and the settlement price is recognized as a gain or loss on settlement. (3) Accounting treatment of termination benefits √ Applicable □ N/A When the Company provides termination benefits to employees, it recognizes a liability for employee benefits arising from termination benefits and includes it in the current period’s profit or loss at the earlier of the following dates: when the Company is unable to unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits due to the termination plan or layoff proposal; or when the Company recognizes costs or expenses related to restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits. (4) Accounting treatment of other long-term employee benefits □ Applicable √ N/A 31. Provisions √ Applicable □ N/A The Company recognizes a provision for an obligation related to a contingent event when all of the following conditions are met: (1) The obligation is a present obligation assumed by the Company; (2) It is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; (3) The amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation. 126 / 236 2024 Interim Report In determining the best estimate, the Company takes into account the risks, uncertainties, and the time value of money associated with the contingent event. Where the effect of the time value of money is significant, the best estimate is determined by discounting the expected future cash outflows. If there is a continuous range of possible outcomes and each outcome within that range is equally likely, the best estimate is the midpoint of the range; in other situations, the best estimate is determined as follows: If the contingency involves a single item, the most likely amount is used; If the contingency involves multiple items, the estimate is calculated by weighing all possible outcomes by their associated probabilities. Where the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed, in whole or in part, by a third party, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset when it is virtually certain that the reimbursement will be received. The amount recognized for reimbursement does not exceed the carrying value of the provision. The Company reviews the carrying value of provisions at each balance sheet date and adjusts them to reflect the current best estimate if there is evidence that the carrying value does not reflect the best estimate. The provision recognized by the Company includes the estimated cost for post-sale quality maintenance of products, which is accrued at 1.2% of the total sales revenue of the complete products. 32. Share-based payments √ Applicable □ N/A The Company engages in share-based payment transactions, granting equity instruments or incurring liabilities based on equity instruments in exchange for services provided by employees or other parties. Share-based payments are classified as either equity-settled or cash-settled. 1. Equity-settled share-based payments For equity-settled share-based payments in exchange for services provided by employees, the fair value of the equity instruments granted is measured at the grant date. For transactions where the equity instruments are vested immediately upon granting, the cost or expense is recognized on the grant date at the fair value of the equity instruments, with a corresponding increase in capital reserves. For transactions where the equity instruments are vested after completing a service period or achieving specific performance conditions during the vesting period, the Company recognizes the services received during the vesting period based on the best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest, measured at the fair value at the date of grant, with a corresponding increase in capital reserves at each balance sheet date. 127 / 236 2024 Interim Report If the terms of an equity-settled share-based payment are modified, the Company recognizes, at a minimum, the services received as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, any increase in the fair value of the equity instruments resulting from the modification, or any modification that benefits the employees as of the modification date, is recognized as an additional cost of the services acquired. If an equity-settled share-based payment is canceled during the vesting period, the Company accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting, recognizing immediately the amount that would otherwise have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in capital reserves. However, if a new equity instrument is granted as a replacement for the canceled equity instrument and is identified as a replacement on the grant date, the replacement equity instrument is treated as a modification of the original equity instrument, and the Company accounts for it accordingly. 2. Cash-settled share-based payments For cash-settled share-based payments, the liability is measured at the fair value of the liability incurred based on the Company’s shares or other equity instruments. For transactions where the liability is vested immediately upon granting, the Company recognizes the cost or expense at the grant date, measured at the fair value of the liability, with a corresponding increase in liabilities. For transactions where the liability is vested after completing a service period or achieving specific performance conditions during the vesting period, the Company recognizes the services received during the vesting period based on the best estimate of the vested liability, measured at the fair value of the liability, with a corresponding increase in liabilities at each balance sheet date. The fair value of the liability is remeasured at each balance sheet date and on the settlement date, with any changes recognized in profit or loss in the current period. If the terms and conditions of a cash-settled share-based payment are modified to become equity-settled, the Company measures the equity-settled share-based payment at the fair value of the equity instruments granted on the modification date, regardless of whether the modification occurs during or after the vesting period. The Company recognizes the services received up to the modification date as capital reserves, while derecognizing the liability for the cash-settled share-based payment previously recognized on the modification date. The difference between the two is recognized in profit or loss in the current period. If the vesting period extends or shortens as a result of the modification, the Company accounts for the transaction over the revised vesting period. 33. Other financial instruments such as preferred shares and perpetual bonds □ Applicable √ N/A 128 / 236 2024 Interim Report 34. Revenue (1) Disclosure of accounting policies used for revenue recognition and measurement by business type √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Accounting policies used for revenue recognition and measurement The Company recognizes revenue when it fulfills its performance obligations under a contract, i.e., when the customer obtains control of the related goods or services. The customer obtains control of the related goods or services when it can direct the use of and obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the goods or services. If a contract contains two or more performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices of the goods or services promised in the contract. The Company measures revenue based on the transaction price allocated to each performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties and amounts expected to be refunded to the customer. The Company determines the transaction price based on the contract terms and its customary business practices, considering factors such as variable consideration, the existence of a significant financing component in the contract, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer. The Company determines the transaction price including variable consideration at an amount that is not expected to materially reverse cumulative revenue recognized when the uncertainty is resolved. If a significant financing component exists in the contract, the Company determines the transaction price as the amount payable by the customer in cash at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods or services, and the difference between the transaction price and the contract consideration is amortized over the contract period using the effective interest method. A performance obligation is fulfilled over time if one of the following conditions is met; otherwise, it is fulfilled at a point in time: The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs. The customer controls the asset as the Company creates or enhances it. The asset being created has no alternative use to the Company, and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, cumulatively, throughout the term of the contract. For performance obligations satisfied over time, the Company recognizes revenue based on the progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation during the period, except when the 129 / 236 2024 Interim Report progress cannot be reasonably measured. The Company determines the progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation using an output method or an input method, depending on the nature of the goods or services. When progress cannot be reasonably measured, but costs incurred are expected to be recoverable, the Company recognizes revenue to the extent of the costs incurred until progress is reasonably determinable. For performance obligations fulfilled at a point in time, the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of the related goods or services. In determining whether a customer has obtained control of the goods or services, the Company considers the following indicators: The Company has a present right to payment for the goods or services, meaning the customer has a present obligation to pay for the goods or services. The Company has transferred the legal title of the goods to the customer, meaning the customer has obtained legal ownership of the goods. The Company has transferred physical possession of the goods to the customer, meaning the customer has taken physical possession of the goods. The Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, meaning the customer has obtained the primary risks and rewards of ownership of the goods. The customer has accepted the goods or services. The Company determines whether it acts as a principal or an agent in a transaction by assessing whether it controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer. If the Company controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer, it acts as a principal and recognizes revenue based on the gross amount of consideration received or receivable. Otherwise, the Company acts as an agent and recognizes revenue based on the amount of commission or fee to which it expects to be entitled. 2. Disclosure of specific revenue recognition methods and measurement approaches by business type (1) Revenue from the sale of automated equipment The Company’s main products are automated equipment. After the Company signs an equipment sales contract with a customer, the Company delivers the completed equipment to the customer for acceptance. The Company also arranges for personnel to install, commission, and test the equipment until it passes trial operation. After the customer confirms acceptance on the product acceptance form and other documents, the Company recognizes the corresponding sales revenue and transfers the cost of the equipment sold and the cost of the services provided. 130 / 236 2024 Interim Report (2) Revenue from the sale of spare parts related to equipment The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of spare parts related to equipment when the goods are delivered to the customer and the customer signs the receipt. (3) Revenue from equipment modification services The Company provides equipment modification services. Revenue is recognized by the Company after the modification and installation are completed and the customer confirms acceptance on the modification project acceptance form and other documents. The Company also carries forward the cost of modification materials and the cost of the services provided. (2) Different revenue recognition methods and measurement approaches involving different operating models for similar business activities □ Applicable √ N/A 35. Contract costs □ Applicable √ N/A 36. Government grants √ Applicable □ N/A 1. Types Government grants refer to the monetary or non-monetary assets that the Company receives from the government without compensation. These grants are categorized as either asset-related government grants or income-related government grants. Asset-related government grants are those that the Company receives to acquire, construct, or otherwise form long-term assets. Income-related government grants refer to all government grants other than those related to assets. The specific criteria for classifying government grants as asset-related are as follows: Government grants used to construct or otherwise form long-term assets are classified as asset-related government grants. The specific criteria for classifying government grants as income-related are as follows: All government grants that are not asset-related are classified as income-related government grants. For government grants where the government documents do not clearly specify the target, the Company determines whether the grant is asset-related or income-related based on the following judgment criteria: (1) If the government document specifies a particular project that the grant targets, the Company allocates the grant based on the relative proportion of expenditures that will form assets versus those that will be expensed. This allocation ratio is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted if necessary. (2) If the government document only generally states the purpose without specifying a particular 131 / 236 2024 Interim Report project, the grant is classified as income-related. 2. Recognition timing Income-related government grants: For government grants obtained by the Company based on a fixed quota, they are measured at the receivable amount and recognized when the Company meets the attached conditions and it is certain that the government grant will be received. For government grants not obtained by the Company based on a fixed quota, they are recognized when the Company meets the attached conditions and actually receives the government grant funds. Asset-related government grants: These are recognized when the Company meets the attached conditions and actually receives the government grant funds. 3. Accounting treatment Asset-related government grants are either deducted from the carrying value of the related asset or recognized as deferred income. If recognized as deferred income, the amount is systematically amortized into profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset using a reasonable method. If the grant is related to the Company’s normal activities, it is included in other income; if unrelated to the Company’s normal activities, it is included in non-operating income. If the grant is used to compensate for future costs, expenses, or losses of the Company, it is recognized as deferred income and included in profit or loss during the period in which the related costs, expenses, or losses are recognized. If related to the Company’s normal activities, it is included in other income; if unrelated to the Company’s normal activities, it is included in non-operating income or is used to offset the related costs, expenses, or losses. If the grant is used to compensate for costs, expenses, or losses already incurred by the Company, it is directly included in the profit or loss in the current period. If related to the Company’s normal activities, it is included in other income; if unrelated to the Company’s normal activities, it is included in non-operating income or is used to offset against the related costs, expenses, or losses. 37. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities √ Applicable □ N/A Income tax includes current income tax and deferred income tax. Except for income tax arising from business combinations and transactions or events directly recognized in equity (including other comprehensive income), the Company recognizes current income tax and deferred income tax in profit or loss for the period. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are recognized based on the 132 / 236 2024 Interim Report differences (temporary differences) between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets are also recognized for deductible losses and tax credits that can be carried forward to future years, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which these deductible losses and tax credits can be utilized. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences, except in certain specific circumstances. Specific circumstances where deferred income tax assets or deferred income tax liabilities are not recognized include: The initial recognition of goodwill; Transactions or events that are not business combinations and, at the time of the transaction, do not affect accounting profit or taxable income (or deductible loss), and do not result in taxable or deductible temporary differences. For taxable temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures, deferred income tax liabilities are recognized, except when the Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences, and probably, the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. For deductible temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures, deferred income tax assets are recognized when the temporary differences will probably reverse in the foreseeable future and sufficient taxable income will be available to utilize the deductible temporary differences. At the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax laws. The Company reviews the carrying value of deferred income tax assets at each balance sheet date. If it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to utilize the benefits of the deferred income tax assets, the carrying value of the deferred tax assets is written down accordingly. The write-downs are reversed when it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow the benefits of the deferred tax assets to be utilized. When there is a legally enforceable right to offset current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the intention to settle on a net basis, or to acquire the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities are presented on a net basis after offsetting. 133 / 236 2024 Interim Report At the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are presented on a net basis after offsetting when the following conditions are simultaneously met: The taxable entity has a legal right to settle current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities; The deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities that intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously in each future period when material amounts of deferred income tax assets or liabilities are expected to reverse. 38. Leases √ Applicable □ N/A Simplified treatment for short-term leases and low-value asset leases as a lessee: judgment criteria and accounting treatment √ Applicable □ N/A (1) Right-of-use assets At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets for leases other than short-term leases and low-value asset leases. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. The cost includes: The initial measurement amount of the lease liability; Lease payments made on or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; Initial direct costs incurred by the Company; Costs expected to be incurred by the Company for dismantling and removing the leased asset, rehabilitating the site on which the asset is located, or restoring the leased asset to the condition required by the lease terms, excluding costs incurred to produce inventory. The Company subsequently depreciates the right-of-use assets using a straight-line method over the lease term. If the ownership of the leased asset can be reasonably determined by the end of the lease term, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the leased asset; otherwise, the leased asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the remaining useful life of the leased asset. The Company determines whether the right-of-use asset has been impaired by the principles set forth in “27. Impairment of long-term assets” and accounts for any identified impairment losses accordingly. (2) Lease liabilities 134 / 236 2024 Interim Report At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities for leases other than short-term leases and low-value asset leases. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that have not yet been paid. Lease payments include: Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), net of amounts related to any lease incentives; Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate; Amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees; The exercise price of a purchase option, if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; Payments for terminating the lease provided the lease term reflects the exercise of a termination option. The Company uses the interest rate implicit in the lease as the discount rate, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company calculates the interest expense on the lease liability over the lease term at a fixed periodic rate of interest and recognizes it in profit or loss or as part of the cost of the related asset. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability are recognized in profit or loss or as part of the cost of the related asset in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. After the commencement date of the lease, the Company remeasures the lease liability and adjusts the corresponding right-of-use asset under the following circumstances. If the carrying value of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero and a further reduction in the lease liability is required, the difference is recognized in profit or loss in the current period: When there is a change in the assessment of a purchase option, renewal option, or termination option, or when the actual exercise of such an option differs from the previous assessment, the Company remeasures the lease liability based on the present value of the revised lease payments using the revised discount rate. When there is a change in the amount of in-substance fixed payments, the expected amount payable under a residual value guarantee, or the index or rate used to determine lease payments, the Company remeasures the lease liability at the present value of the revised lease payments using the original discount rate. However, if the change in lease payments results from a change in a floating interest rate, the present value is calculated based on the revised discount rate. (3) Short-term leases and low-value asset leases The Company elects not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases 135 / 236 2024 Interim Report and low-value asset leases. Instead, the related lease payments are recognized in profit or loss or as part of the cost of the related asset on a straight-line basis over the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not contain a purchase option. A low-value asset lease refers to a lease where the value of the underlying asset is low when it is new. If the Company subleases or expects to sublease the leased asset, the original lease does not qualify as a low-value asset lease. (4) Lease modifications If a lease modification meets both of the following conditions, the Company accounts for the lease modification as a separate lease: The lease modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; The increased consideration for the lease modification is comparable to the standalone price for the increase in scope adjusted to reflect the circumstances of the contract. If a lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Company reallocates the consideration in the modified contract, reassesses the lease term, and remeasures the lease liability at the present value of the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate as of the effective date of the modification. If the lease modification results in a reduction in the scope of the lease or a shortening of the lease term, the Company reduces the carrying value of the right-of-use asset and recognizes any gain or loss related to the partial or full termination of the lease in profit or loss in the current period. For other lease modifications that result in the remeasurement of the lease liability, the Company adjusts the carrying value of the right-of-use asset accordingly. Criteria for lease classification and accounting treatment as a lessor √ Applicable □ N/A At the commencement date of the lease, the Company classifies leases as either finance leases or operating leases. A finance lease refers to a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset, regardless of whether the title is eventually transferred. An operating lease refers to a lease other than a finance lease. When the Company acts as an intermediate lessor, the classification of a sublease is based on the right-of-use asset arising from the original lease. (1) Accounting treatment for operating leases Lease payments received under operating leases are recognized as lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred by the Company related to operating leases are capitalized and apportioned to profit or loss on the same basis as the lease income. Variable lease 136 / 236 2024 Interim Report payments not included in the lease receipts are recognized in profit or loss when they occur. When an operating lease is modified, the Company accounts for it as a new lease from the effective date of the modification. Lease receipts or amounts receivable related to the lease before the modification are regarded as receipts under the new lease. (2) Accounting treatment for finance leases At the commencement date of a finance lease, the Company recognizes finance lease receivables and derecognizes the leased asset. When initially measuring finance lease receivables, the Company records them at the net investment in the lease. The net investment in the lease is the sum of the present value of the lease payments not yet received and the unguaranteed residual value at the commencement date of the lease term, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. The Company calculates and recognizes interest income over the lease term using a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease. The derecognition and impairment of finance lease receivables are accounted for in accordance with the principles outlined in “11. Financial instruments” under the subsection “V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates.” Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease are recognized in profit or loss in the period when they occur. If a finance lease modification meets both of the following conditions, the Company regards the modification as a separate lease: The modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; The consideration for the lease modification is equivalent to the standalone price for the increase in scope adjusted to reflect the circumstances of the contract. If a finance lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Company handles the modified lease as follows: If the lease would have been effective and classified as an operating lease at the commencement date based on the modified terms, the Company accounts for the lease as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, using the net investment in the lease as the carrying value of the leased asset as of the modification date. If the lease would have been effective and classified as a finance lease at the commencement date based on the modified terms, the Company applies the accounting policies for contract modifications as described in “11. Financial instruments” under the subsection “V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates.” Sale and leaseback transactions 137 / 236 2024 Interim Report The Company evaluates whether the transfer of an asset in a sale and leaseback transaction qualifies as a sale based on the principles outlined in “34. Revenue” in these notes. (1) As a lessee If the transfer of an asset in a sale and leaseback transaction qualifies as a sale, the Company, as the lessee, measures the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying value of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the Company. The Company recognizes only the gain or loss related to the rights transferred to the lessor. If the transfer of an asset in a sale and leaseback transaction does not qualify as a sale, the Company, as the lessee, continues to recognize the transferred asset and recognizes a financial liability equal to the transfer proceeds. The accounting for the financial liability is detailed in “11. Financial instruments” under the subsection “V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates.” (2) As a lessor If the transfer of an asset in a sale and leaseback transaction qualifies as a sale, the Company, as the lessor, accounts for the asset purchase in accordance with the policies described in “2. The Company as a lessor” and accounts for the leaseback in accordance with the lease classification criteria and accounting treatment for leases. If the transfer of an asset in a sale and leaseback transaction does not qualify as a sale, the Company, as the lessor, does not recognize the transferred asset but instead recognizes a financial asset equal to the transfer proceeds. The accounting for the financial asset is detailed in “11. Financial instruments” under the subsection “V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates.” 39. Other significant accounting policies and accounting estimates √ Applicable □ N/A Repurchase of the Company’s own shares: When the Company repurchases its own shares, whether for reducing registered capital or for employee incentives, the amount actually paid for the shares are accounted for as treasury stock and recorded in a memorandum account. If the repurchased shares are subsequently canceled, the difference between the total par value of the shares canceled (based on the number of shares and their par value) and the actual repurchase payment is deducted from the capital reserve. If the capital reserve is insufficient to offset the difference, the remaining amount is deducted from retained earnings. If the repurchased shares are granted to employees as part of an equity-settled share-based payment arrangement, the cost of the treasury shares delivered to the employees and the accumulated amount in the capital reserve (other capital reserves) during the vesting period are derecognized upon the employees exercising their rights to purchase the shares. The difference is adjusted in the capital reserve 138 / 236 2024 Interim Report (share premium). Debt restructuring The Company as a creditor The Company derecognizes a receivable when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the receivable expire. For debt restructuring involving the settlement of debt through the transfer of assets or conversion of debt into equity instruments, the Company recognizes the relevant assets when they meet the definition and recognition criteria. For debt restructuring in the form of settlement of debt through the transfer of non-financial assets, the Company initially measures the acquired non-financial asset at cost. The cost of inventory includes the fair value of the relinquished receivable and any other directly attributable costs such as taxes, transportation fees, loading and unloading fees, and insurance costs incurred to bring the asset to its present location and condition. The cost of investments in associates or joint ventures includes the fair value of the relinquished receivable and any other directly attributable costs such as taxes. The cost of investment property includes the fair value of the relinquished receivable and any other directly attributable costs such as taxes. The cost of fixed assets includes the fair value of the relinquished receivable and any directly attributable costs such as taxes, transportation fees, loading and unloading fees, installation fees, and professional service fees incurred before the asset is brought to its intended use. The cost of biological assets includes the fair value of the relinquished receivable and any directly attributable costs including taxes, transportation fees, and insurance costs. The cost of intangible assets includes the fair value of the relinquished receivable and any directly attributable costs such as taxes incurred to bring the asset to its intended use. For debt restructuring involving the conversion of debt into equity instruments, where the creditor converts the debt into an investment in an associate or joint venture, the Company measures the initial investment cost based on the fair value of the relinquished receivable and any directly attributable costs such as taxes. The difference between the fair value of the relinquished receivable and its carrying value is recognized in profit or loss in the current period. For debt restructuring involving the modification of other terms, the Company recognizes and measures the restructured receivable under the principles set out in “11. Financial instruments” under the subsection “V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates.” For debt restructuring involving the settlement of debt through the transfer of multiple assets or a combination of methods, the Company first recognizes and measures the acquired financial assets and restructured receivables under “11. Financial instruments” under the subsection “V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates.” Then, the Company allocates the net amount of the fair value of the relinquished receivable, after deducting the amounts recognized for the acquired financial 139 / 236 2024 Interim Report assets and restructured receivables, based on the proportionate fair values of the other acquired assets, and determines the costs of these assets using the aforementioned methods. The difference between the fair value of the relinquished receivable and its carrying value is recognized in profit or loss in the current period. The Company as a debtor The Company derecognizes a liability when the present obligation for the liability is discharged. For debt restructuring in the form of the settlement of debt through the transfer of assets, the Company derecognizes the liability when the transferred assets and the extinguished debt meet the derecognition criteria. The difference between the carrying value of the extinguished debt and the carrying value of the transferred assets is recognized in profit or loss in the current period. For debt restructuring in the form of the conversion of debt into equity instruments, the Company derecognizes the liability when the extinguished debt meets the derecognition criteria. The Company measures the initial recognition of the equity instruments at their fair value. If the fair value of the equity instruments cannot be reliably measured, the Company measures them at the fair value of the extinguished debt. The difference between the carrying value of the extinguished debt and the recognized amount of the equity instruments is recognized in profit or loss in the current period. For debt restructuring in the form of the modification of other terms, the Company recognizes and measures the restructured debt in accordance with the principles set out in “11. Financial instruments” under the subsection “V. Significant Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates.” For debt restructuring in the form of the settlement of debt through the transfer of multiple assets or a combination of methods, the Company recognizes and measures the equity instruments and restructured debt following the methods described above. The difference between the carrying value of the extinguished debt and the carrying value of the transferred assets, along with the recognized amounts of the equity instruments and restructured debt, is recognized in profit or loss in the current period. 40.

(2) It is expected that the recognized share-based payment costs for the period would exceed the pre-tax deductible share-based payment costs pursuant to tax laws, and the deferred income tax assets recognized for the excess would be reversed, resulting in an increase of RMB22,413.10 in other capital reserves. Note 4: The reduction of other capital reserve by RMB26,358,102.97 in the period was caused by the transfer from other capital reserves to share capital due to the restricted share incentives meeting the prescribed exercise conditions. 56.

Risks related to financial instruments 1. Risk of financial instruments √ Applicable □ N/A The Company is exposed to various financial risks in the operation, including credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk. The board of directors of the Company is fully committed to identifying risk management objectives and policies, and bears ultimate responsibility for risk management objectives and policies. The internal auditors of the Company also audit risk management policies and procedures, and report relevant findings to the audit committee. The overall objective of the Company’s risk management is to develop risk management policies that minimize risks without excessively affecting its competitiveness and adaptability. (i) Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that one party of a financial instrument fails to fulfill its obligations, resulting in financial losses for the other party. The Company mainly faces customer credit risk caused by credit sales. Before signing a new contract, it will assess the credit risk of new customers, including external credit ratings and, in some cases, bank credit certificates (when this information is available). (ii) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk refers to the risk of a shortage of funds when an enterprise fulfills its obligation to settle by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Company is committed to ensuring sufficient cash to repay maturing debts. Liquidity risk is centrally controlled by the finance department of the Company. The finance department ensures that the Company has sufficient funds to repay its debts under all reasonable predictions by monitoring cash balances, readily convertible securities, and rolling forecasts of cash flows for the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2024, various financial liabilities of the Company are presented as follows based on undiscounted contract cash flows and maturity dates: Unit: Yuan, Currency: RMB Closing balance Item Within 1 year 1-2 years 2-5 years Over 5 years Total Accounts 3,235,214,998.79 - - - 3,235,214,998.79 payable Other 91,318,741.59 - - - 91,318,741.59 payables Non-curre 133,506,681.24 - - - 133,506,681.24 nt liabilities due within one year Lease - 47,625,117.14 14,346,909.39 - 61,972,026.53 liabilities Total 3,460,040,421.62 47,625,117.14 14,346,909.39 - 3,522,012,448.15 Year-end balance of the previous year Item Within 1 year 1-2 years 2-5 years Over 5 years Total Accounts 3,243,847,123.75 - - - 3,243,847,123.75 payable Other 116,701,241.64 - - - 116,701,241.64 payables 210 / 236 2024 Interim Report Non-curre 147,298,187.75 - - - 147,298,187.75 nt liabilities due within one year Lease - 63,411,824.65 10,144,243.16 - 73,556,067.81 liabilities Total 3,507,846,553.14 63,411,824.65 10,144,243.16 - 3,581,402,620.95 (iii) Market risk The market risk of financial instruments refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in market prices, including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and other price risks. 1. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in market interest rates. The interest rate risk facing the Company mainly comes from short-term bank loans. The Company is committed to identifying the relative proportion of fixed rate and floating rate contracts based on the market environment then. Although this policy cannot completely steer the Company away from the risk of interest rates payment exceeding current market rates, nor can it completely eliminate the cash flow risk associated with fluctuations in interest payment, the management believes that this policy achieves a reasonable balance between these risks. 2. Exchange rate risk Exchange rate risk refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Our Company strives to match foreign currency income with foreign currency expenses as much as possible to reduce exchange rate risk. In addition, the Company may also sign forward foreign exchange contracts or currency swap contracts to avoid exchange rate risks. During the reporting period, the Company did not sign any forward foreign exchange contracts or currency swap contracts. The exchange rate risk facing the Company mainly comes from financial assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars. The amount of foreign currency financial assets and liabilities converted into RMB is listed as follows: It Closing balance Year-end balance of the previous year e USD Other foreign Total USD Other foreign Total m currencies currencies M 89,005,002.90 12,192,757.59 101,197,760.49 301,124,050.73 2,380,322.76 303,504,373.49 o n et ar y fu n d s A 52,585,246.95 - 52,585,246.95 111,668,163.25 - 111,668,163.25 cc o u nt s re ce iv a bl e O - 1,065,994.45 1,065,994.45 14,165.40 2,901.56 17,066.96 th er re ce 211 / 236 2024 Interim Report iv a bl es ac 2,216,006.48 1,163,986.43 3,379,992.91 6,055,885.21 3,096,216.45 9,152,101.66 c o u nt s p a y a bl e T 139,374,243.37 12,094,765.61 151,469,008.98 406,750,494.17 -712,992.13 406,037,502.04 ot al 3.
