Industry Performance During Reporting Period 1. Overview of the Smart Sanitation Industry 2022 marked the convening of the 20th CPC National Congress and was a crucial year for implementing China's 14 th Five- Year Plan. The CPC Central Committee, State Council, state ministries and commissions issued and refined a range of sanitation- related policies and standards, promoting the industry's marketization. The urban service market maintained robust momentum thanks to the sanitation marketization reform and the "urban steward" model. Driven by policy incentives, demand for environmental protection equipment remained high, indicating a positive outlook over the long term. However, the market experienced a continued decline from the previous year due to macroeconomic challenges. In 2023, the sanitation market is expected to further expand, as new energy sanitation approaches an economic inflection point. Numerous policies and implementing plans are anticipated to facilitate municipal governments in sanitation, leading to full marketization of the sanitation sector. Smart sanitation is an essential item of government spending, as it is closely related to people's livelihoods. The sector's long-term growth is not entirely connected with short-term economic volatility, and it is tied to long-term economic trends, policy directives, environmental requirements, and people's living standards. 2. Development Trends (1) Steady progress in marketization and gradual concentration of industry leaders The marketization of China's urban service industry refers to municipal governments' gradual withdrawal from the actual management and operation in the sanitation industry and a shift toward an operational model in which the government procures services from eligible service providers through open tenders. Under this model, local governments make use of the competitive market, exercise special supervision and use other means to effectively boost the service efficiency and quality of urban service providers. The government's ongoing investment and introduction of favorable policies that promote urban environmental development have expanded the domestic urban service industry's potential for growth. The marketization of China's domestic sanitation sector will further expand the industry's room for growth in the future. Players in the sanitation industry with competitive advantages such as good connections with the government, capital, management experience, strong brand effects and cost synergy are well positioned to seize the opportunities from the current wave of marketization, to achieve rapid growth. China's urban service industry is set for growth in the future. Increasing market concentration is also expected. (2) Rapid development of IoT and increased adoption of smart sanitation In addition to having huge growth potential, the sanitation industry has to cope with a wide range of challenges, including challenges in operating and supervising a great number of vehicles and equipment, managing numerous and dispersed personnel, managing infrastructure across districts, and monitoring and assessing widely-dispersed operating areas. The industry is characterized by numerous practitioners, wide service areas, and massive tasks. To overcome these challenges, it should prioritize efforts to optimize its service portfolio, such as adopting sanitation facilities powered by IT. In this context, smart sanitation is emerging as a trend in the sanitation management industry. Through the IoT-powered Smart Sanitation Cloud Platform, the Company monitors sanitation operations in real-time. It is capable of 24/7, all-round, seamless, precise, and efficient operation, maintenance, supervision, and management of service personnel, vehicles, objects, and events. This contributes to a holistic enhancement of urban governance and public services. 11 (3) New opportunities from environmental protection equipment powered by new energy and smart technologies As China advances ecological construction, achieving carbon peak and neutrality has been included in the national plan for ecological endeavors. Against this backdrop, new energy-powered sanitation vehicles, an important segment of public service vehicles, will drive industry growth by enabling low-noise, zero-emissions and effective environmental protection. The increased adoption of 5G sanitation robots, autonomous sanitation vehicles, and small smart sanitation robots continues to expand the frontiers of the environmental protection equipment sector, and these fields have a very promising market. The future of urban/rural services is increasingly steered toward one that is smart, requires less or even no human labor. Small intelligent equipment and autonomous vehicles will present the next breakthrough. As the smart sanitation market expects environmental protection equipment to be increasingly intelligent and energy-efficient, companies with more technological achievements and stronger R&D capabilities will gain a bigger market share. For a detailed analysis on the industry, please refer to Discussion and Analysis on the Future Development of the Company. II. Principal Business During the Reporting Period 1.

IV. Analysis of Principal Business 1. Overview Infore Enviro faced severe external challenges in 2022 amidst the macroeconomic situation. Despite that, the Company remained committed to its development strategies and annual business plan, with a strong emphasis on its core "5115" strategy. It significantly improved its internal operations by strengthening its key teams and intensifying technological innovation and product research and development. As a result, the Company maintained its position as an industry leader in smart sanitation based on its established R&D advantages in environmental protection equipment. In 2022, the Company generated RMB 418,794,200 in net profit attributable to the listed company's shareholders and RMB 12,255,992,900 in operating revenue.

Improvement of quality and efficiency and continuous optimization of net cash generated from operating activities With the key task of "achieving high-quality development", centering on production and operation links, the Company explored multiple methods for improving its asset operation capabilities to reduce existing assets and control incremental assets. It abandoned high-risk orders, strengthened the mechanism for classification and responsibility regarding contract risks, enhanced reflow of corporate sales income, and accelerated operation turnover efficiency to improve cash flows from operating activities. As at the end of the reporting period of 2022, the Company recorded RMB 1,662,482,300 in cash flows from operating activities, up 105.44% from a year earlier. Increase in net cash generated from the operating activities of the Company led to the improvement of operation quality ultimately.

Digital transformation and the setup of a highly efficient operating system Digitalization is a core transformation strategy of the Company. In 2022, Infore Enviro continued to digitalize value chains to empower business operations.

High cash dividends for shareholders Valuing investor return, the Company has been implementing an active profit distribution policy. It has paid high cash dividends for many years in a row as return for its shareholders. According to the 2022 profit distribution plan (proposed) approved at the second meeting of the tenth Board of Directors, a cash dividend of RMB 1.10 (tax inclusive) per 10 shares will be distributed to the shareholders, based on the total share capital (minus shares in the Company's repurchase account) on the date of record for the plan. A total cash dividend of around RMB 348 million (tax included) is estimated to be distributed. As the proposed plan is awaiting the approval of the general meeting of shareholders, the actual dividend amount will be disclosed in the Company's announcement. The amount accounts for 83.18% of the net profit attributable to the listed company's shareholders in 2022. 18 In the past three years (2020–2022), the Company has paid RMB 1.033 billion in cash dividends, accounting for 26.87%, 41.45%, and 83.18% of the net profit attributable to the listed company's shareholders, respectively. 7. Active fulfillment of social responsibility as part of its corporate responsibility In 2022, while seeking business growth, the Company fulfilled its social responsibility as it got involved in poverty alleviation and disaster relief efforts. The Company made targeted donations to the communities and towns in Guangning County of Zhaoqing City, Red Cross and Sihekou Village of Xiantao City, Longhua District of Shenzhen City, and Zaoshi Town and Weixin Town of Shimen County, supporting families in need. It also purchased agricultural products from local poor households as part of its assistance program. These efforts were widely recognized by local public-interest organizations. To help with disaster relief, the Company promptly dispatched environmental protection vehicles to ensure smooth traffic flow during heavy snowfalls in some regions of China. In February, when Beijing suffered heavy snowfalls, the Company sent out snow removal equipment for high-speed snow sweeping and pushing, solids spreading, and pre-wet spreading on the turns, steep slopes, and pedestrian paths in the Winter Olympics area, guaranteeing the smooth flow of the main roads of Yanqing District and the driveways for Winter Olympics. In response to the heavy snowfalls in Changsha and Xiangtan, a branch of Infore Enviro in Xiangtan promptly sent a snow and ice removal task force equipped with 241 vehicles. The team worked overnight, and as a result, bridges, roads, and pedestrian paths were reopened by the next morning, ensuring safe traffic flow. 2.

Structured Entities Controlled by the Company Applicable Not Applicable XI. Future Prospects of the Company (I) Market opportunities 1. The 2022 national policies are favorable for the development of the sanitation industry On January 24, the State Council issued the Comprehensive Work Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period. The document sets out guiding requirements for eliminating vehicles with the national III emission standard, promoting new energy vehicles, and winning the battle against pollution, which is conducive to industry development. On January 25, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE), the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MOARA), the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD), the Ministry of Water Resources, and the National Rural Revitalization Bureau jointly issued the Action Plan for the Battle Against Agricultural and Rural Pollution (2021–2025). The document calls for substantial progress in rural environmental remediation, effective control of agricultural non-point source 37 pollution, and ongoing improvement of the rural ecological environment by 2025. Additionally, 80,000 administrative villages will complete environmental remediation, 40% of rural domestic sewage will be treated, and large-scale black and odorous water bodies in rural areas will be eliminated. On February 9, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the MEE, the MOHURD, and the National Health Commission released the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Urban Environmental Infrastructure. The document specifies comprehensive arrangements for addressing the relevant issues to accelerate the development of the garbage collection, transfer, and transportation system. On February 11, the State Council issued the Plan for Advancing Agricultural and Rural Modernization during the 14th Five- Year Plan Period. The document urges relevant parties to steadily propel toilet renovation in economically underdeveloped, high- altitude, cold, and water-scarce areas, build manure and domestic sewage treatment facilities and comprehensive organic waste disposal and utilization facilities based on local realities, support 600 counties to rectify rural living environments and create beautiful and livable villages. On February 22, Central Document No. 1, Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Effectively Implementing the Key Task of Promoting Rural Revitalization in 2022, was unveiled. In terms of rural development and environmental improvement, the document outlined the priorities for enhancing rural living environments, such as toilet revolution, sewage treatment, and garbage management. On March 9, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the National Standardization Management Committee of China released the Standards for Rural Environmental Sanitation and Cleaning Services. The document requires that rural sanitation and cleaning services should be provided by professional organizations or individual contractors, and outlines the requirements that these two fields must meet. The document also specifies the content and quality requirements for the cleaning services of garbage collection sites, roads, public toilets, public water areas, and other public facilities. On March 17, the NDRC issued the Key Tasks for the Development of New Urbanization and Urban-Rural Integration in 2022. The document calls for improving hazardous waste and medical waste centralized treatment facilities as well as the comprehensive utilization system of bulk solid waste, advancing domestic waste classification actively and steadily, and closing the gap in urban sewage treatment capacity at a faster pace. It also urged to repair and update old and damaged sewage pipeline networks and rainwater and sewage pipeline networks that cause waterlogging problems, launch "green life" campaigns, and encourage green transportation as well as green household and community development. On March 24, the NDRC and the National Energy Administration issued the Mid- and Long-Term Development Plan for the Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021–2035), which suggests piloting the use of fuel cell commercial vehicles in public services such as urban buses, logistics delivery vehicles, and sanitation vehicles in areas where conditions permit. This is beneficial for promoting the adoption of hydrogen fuel in the sanitation industry. On April 1, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the National Standardization Management Committee of China released the Requirements for Urban and Rural Community Environmental Sanitation and Cleaning Services. According to the standard, community sanitation and cleaning services cover a wide range of fields, including but not limited to the cleaning of roads, indoor and outdoor public areas, agricultural markets, public toilets, and water areas, as well as garbage collection and transportation and emergency operations. On April 27, the MOHURD, the NDRC, and the Ministry of Water Resources jointly issued the Action Plan for the Construction of Urban Drainage and Flood Control System during the 14 th Five-Year Plan Period. The Plan sets out requirements to check urban drainage and flood control facilities, urban flood control engineering facilities, and urban natural retention space to assess disaster risks. It also urges the relevant parties to evaluate the emergency management capabilities of urban drainage and flood control and inspect flood control safety hazards in critical infrastructure such as water and gas supply. Furthermore, the document calls for the construction of drainage pipeline networks, pumping stations, and drainage channels, as well as measures to reduce rainwater at the source and rectify water accumulation points. These actions will promote systematic governance. 38 On May 29, the MOHURD, the MOARA, the NDRC, the MEE, the National Rural Revitalization Bureau, and the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives jointly issued the Notice on Further Strengthening the Construction and Management of Rural Domestic Waste Collection, Transportation, and Disposal System. The document sets out the objectives for 2025 and defined key tasks such as overall planning of the construction and operational management of rural domestic waste collection, transportation, and disposal systems, promoting source classification and resource utilization, improving collection, transportation, and disposal systems, enhancing operational management, and establishing a mechanism for joint building, governance, and sharing. These measures will drive the growth of waste-related products in the rural environmental sanitation market. On June 17, the MEE, the NDRC, the MIIT, the MOHURD, the Ministry of Transport, the MOARA, and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Implementation Plan for Synergizing the Reduction of Pollution and Carbon Emissions. The Plan sets forth requirements to accelerate the development of new energy vehicles, promote the electrification of public transportation in a phased manner, steadily replace old vehicles with new energy vehicles, and gradually adopt new and clean energy-powered non-road mobile machinery. It also calls for exploring the demonstration application and commercial operation of medium and heavy-duty electric and fuel cell trucks. By 2030, the sales of new energy vehicles in key areas of air pollution prevention and control will rise to around 50% of the total vehicle sales. On July 26, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the NDRC, the MOHURD, and 13 other departments jointly issued the Opinions on Improving the Comprehensive Village-level Service Functions. The document sets forth requirements to accelerate the construction of household access roads to facilitate public travel and firefighting, advance the rural toilet revolution, speed up the classification and resource utilization of domestic waste, comprehensively improve the management of rural domestic waste, and propel the treatment of rural domestic sewage at a faster pace. On July 29, the MOHURD and the NDRC jointly released the National Urban Infrastructure Construction Plan during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period. The Plan sets out requirements to increase the capacity for domestic waste classification, collection, and transportation by 200,000 tons daily, the capacity for domestic waste incineration by 200,000 tons daily, and the capacity for resource utilization of domestic waste by 30 million tons yearly during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. In addition, 500 existing domestic waste treatment facilities will be renovated. On September 14, the General Office of the Ministry of Transport announced the first batch of pilot projects for intelligent transportation applications (autonomous driving and intelligent shipping). A total of 18 pilot projects were launched, many of which involved autonomous driving in environmental sanitation. Among them, 14 self-driving pilot projects covered low-speed scenarios such as unmanned delivery, vending, shuttle, cleaning, and port driving, with more than 1,400 driverless vehicles invested. On November 10, the MEE, the NDRC, and 13 other departments issued the Action Plan for the Critical Battle Against Severely Polluted Weather, Ozone Pollution, and Diesel Truck Pollution. The Plan urges the relevant parties to promote the electrification of public service vehicles, ensuring no less than 80% of incremental or upgraded buses, taxis, and logistics delivery and light-duty sanitation vehicles in key areas and national ecological civilization experimental zones are fueled by new energy sources. This will significantly drive the adoption of new energy-powered sanitation vehicles. 2. The demands for urban services will keep increasing The source of urban services revenue is the government budget with the nature of rigid expenditure and is less affected by macroeconomic regulation factors. The business is featured by continuity and stability. (1) The scale of demand for services driven by urbanization As urbanization continues, the construction of urban roads will directly increase the area for road cleaning, urban housing, compound construction, and urban greening, hence increasing the demand for environmental protection equipment and urban cleaning services. Furthermore, sanitation is one of the prerequisites for each province, city, and district to construct urban upgrades such as "national civilized cities", "national hygienic cities", "national model cities of environmental protection", and "national ecological garden cities". According to the National Bureau of Statistics and the MOHURD, statistics show that from 39 2015 to 2021, the area of road cleaning in China's cities and counties increased from 9.678 billion sqm to 13.337 billion sqm, an overall increase of nearly 37.8%; the domestic waste removed and transported in cities and counties rose from 258 million tons to 317 million tons, an overall growth of 22.9%. Driven by urbanization, in order to maintain the cleanliness and sanitation of urban roads, residential compounds, and municipal gardens, as well as the normal transfer and treatment of domestic waste, the release of urban service demands are constantly facilitated. (2) The "Beautiful Countryside" kick-started, and the rural sanitation market is gradually gaining momentum The Five-Year Action Plan for the Remediation and Improvement of Rural Living Environment (2021-2025) requires that "the rural toilet revolution shall be firmly implemented", "the promotion of rural domestic sewage treatment shall be accelerated", and "the standard of rural domestic waste treatment shall be improved comprehensively". In the era of building "beautiful villages" and boosting urban and rural sanitation integration, projects like promotion by all counties and comprehensive management have emerged continuously and the rural sanitation market will enter a new stage for further rapid market expansion. This will create vast opportunities for urban services and the entire sanitation industry. (3) Continued promotion of waste classification and the continued release of market demands In September 2020, President Xi Jinping chaired the meeting of the Central Comprehensively Deepening Reforms Commission, at which the Several Opinions on Further Promoting Domestic Waste Classification was deliberated and approved. The accelerated implementation of waste classification policies would overturn the traditional domestic waste collection and transportation system. Conventional sanitation vehicles will no longer meet the needs of classified collection and transportation. Domestic waste is treated in four steps, namely "dumping", "collection", "transportation", and "disposal", requiring upgrades and renovation of traditional sanitation technology and equipment. Additionally, making the system smart requires increased investment, spurring a continuous release of market demand. (4) Full electrification of public service vehicles and increasing demand for new energy-powered environmental protection equipment On January 30, 2023, the MIIT, together other seven other state departments issued the Notice on Organizing the Pilot Program of Pilot Zones for Full Electrification of Public Service Vehicles, setting out to launch nationwide pilot programs of pilot zones for full electrification of public service vehicles from 2023 to 2025. The document requires that there should be a significant rise in the proportion of new energy vehicles in incremental and upgraded vehicles in pilot areas, with an 80% level in terms of buses, taxis, sanitation, postal and express delivery, and urban logistics vehicles to be fueled by new energy. Since 2012, China has made a guiding policy to accelerate the cultivation of the new energy vehicle industry, and has successively released important documents for its promotion. After a period of development, new energy-powered sanitation vehicles are poised for significant growth. (5) The increasing mechanization will drive the growth in the environmental protection equipment market The increase in mechanization rate of the sanitation industry will reduce the cost of sanitation operations and relieve the financial burden of governments and enterprises. With the expansion of China's urban and rural road cleaning areas, the mechanization rate of the sanitation industry is gradually increasing. According to the statistics on urban and rural construction released by MOHURD, at the end of 2021, the mechanical cleaning space of the road in cities across the country reached 10,342 million square meters, with a mechanical cleaning rate of 78.41%; the mechanical cleaning space of the road in counties across the country reached 2.995 billion square meters, with a mechanical cleaning rate of 76.25%. In comparison, the mechanization rate of sanitation industry in the urban area of developed countries can usually reach 80%. As such, there is still room for development in terms of the mechanization level of sanitation industry in China. In the future, as labor costs continue to rise, the mechanization of sanitation operations will become the main development direction of the domestic sanitation market, and it will cover road cleaning, guardrail cleaning, waste collection & transportation, and other segments. (6) The trend of aging population will drive the expansion of the environmental protection equipment market The frequent adjustments made by China in terms of minimum wages in different cities have largely influenced the operating costs of urban service enterprises. The defects including high operating costs and low working efficiency in the traditional manual 40 urban service model have increased the business pressure on sanitation operation enterprises. Furthermore, China's elderly population is expected to reach 280 million by 2022, with an aging population of 19.8%, according to the National Committee on Aging Population. The aging trend will exacerbate the workforce deficit in the sanitation industry. Meanwhile, with the diversification of job options, the number of young and middle-aged laborers who are willing to engage in sanitation work is also decreasing. Therefore, improving the mechanization rate of the sanitation industry and expanding the use of environmental protection equipment is not only a realistic need in the face of the labor market shortage, but also the requirement for the development of urban sanitation level. (7) Industrial breakthrough fueled by technological advancement The rapid development of 5G and AI technology has widened industrial boundaries and opened up a slew of new opportunities. Small-sized smart devices and smart services will be the new bonanza, introducing new variables and increments for the sector. Smart, less humanized, or even unmanned sanitation will be a general trend. (II) Business plan of 2022 In 2022, the Company closely revolved around its development strategy and annual business plan, focusing on its core strategic business. It strengthened technological innovation and product research and development, improved internal operations, and actively promoted smart sanitation, achieving its business plan relatively well for 2022. The business target set at the beginning of the year was for the Company to achieve RMB 60 billion in the planned cumulative contract amount of its smart urban services and RMB 4. billion in its annual operating revenue; the actual planned cumulative contract amount of the Company's smart urban services reached RMB 54.165 billion while its annual operating revenue recorded RMB 4.158 million. In 2022, the Company completed its annual revenue target of RMB 4 billion for smart services, with an achievement rate of 103.95%; It did not complete its operation target of RMB 60 billion in total contract value, with an achievement rate of 90.27%. The reason for the Company's failure to achieve the operating target of the total contract value is the decrease of orders with long cycles of more than 5 years in the market, resulting in a slight decrease of the total contract value of orders obtained by the Company. In 2023, the Company will take into account the market development trend, diversify the business forms and actively attract short- and medium-cycle projects. 2023 Operation target: to achieve a cumulative contract value of RMB 80 billion for the Company's smart urban service solutions, and to realize an annual revenue of RMB 6.5 billion; from 2020 to 2024, the planned cumulative contract value would be RMB 100 billion, so as to achieve an annual revenue of RMB 10 billion. The Company will continue to increase resource input in its strategic core business, smart urban service, striving to be one of the top-ranking enterprises in the industry in the next five years. In 2023, the Company will continue to follow the strategy of technology and product leadership, with a further focus on smart sanitation. At the same time, it will expand its presence in new energy products, including solar panel brackets as well as energy storage products for industrial and commercial purposes. (III) Plan for use of funds 2023 is a key period for the Company's rapid development. Given the relatively large demand for funds, the Company will formulate a funding supply and demand plan to match the Company's development. The Company will make full use of its own funds. It will also further strengthen the management of accounts receivable while optimizing the financial structure to provide strong financial guarantees for the Company's business development and control financial risks. The source of funds is the optimization and combination of multiple channels including the issuance of commercial paper, medium-term note, cash flows from operating activities, and bank loans. (IV) Main risk factors that may adversely affect the achievement of the Company's future development strategies and business objectives 1. Policy-related risks As the state attaches more importance to environmental protection and environmental governance, unprecedented development opportunities will also appear in the environmental protection industry, but such industry is also highly dependent on 41 national industrial policies since it is typically policy-driven. Adjustments to macroeconomic policies, tax policies, environmental industry policies and environmental management policies will affect the Company's performance. Countermeasures: To raise the scientific decision-making capacity of managers and boost the Company's resilience against policy-related risks, the Company will pay careful attention to changes in national macroeconomic policies and strengthen research and analysis of industry policies. 2. Operation management risks As the Company continuously expands its business scale, enriches its business types, broadens its markets and develops more subsidiaries, its asset scale, personnel scale and organization scale are also undergoing rapid expansion, causing its organizational structure and management system to become more complex. Although the Company has formed a complete set of management policies for internal control and improved it annually, the difficulties and risks in the management and control are still increasing due to the differences in industry attributes, geographic distribution, cultural characteristics and corporate culture of its branch institutions. Countermeasures: the Company is concentrating on strengthening the management and risk control systems, further improving the operation management system and business process, continuing to refine management, and strengthening the risk control and culture of subsidiaries, all while strengthening the talent team. 3. Heightened market competition risks The sanitation industry in China is an emerging comprehensive industry that is still in the early stages of marketization and has a relatively low level of concentration. However, the industry is currently in a period of rapid growth. With its rapid growth, the involvement of upstream and downstream enterprises, and the continuous participation of new enterprises in different sectors, market competition will continue to intensify. The Company will likely face the risk of losing market share in the future. Countermeasures: the Company will continue to pursue a technology-driven development strategy in order to preserve its technological leadership in the industry and, as a result, solidify its market leadership. Nothing in this report about future plans, performance forecasts, or other matters represents a commitment by the Company to any investors or other third parties. All investors and relevant persons shall remain adequately aware of risks. XII.

Audit Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Infore Environment Technology Group Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated and parent company balance sheets as at December 31, 2022, the consolidated and parent company income statements, the consolidated and parent company cash flow statements, and the consolidated and parent company statements of changes in equity for the year then ended, as well as notes to financial statements. In our opinion, the attached financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2022, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. II. Basis for Audit Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with China Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Certified Public Accountant’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the China Code of Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, and we have fulfilled other ethical responsibilities. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. III. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not express a separate opinion on these matters. (I) Revenue recognition 1. Key audit matters Please refer to section III (XXVI) and section V (II) 1 of notes to the financial statements for details. The Company is mainly engaged in sales of environmental and sanitation machinery and ventilation equipment as well as sanitation operation service. In 2022, the operating revenue amounted to 12,255,992,938.42 yuan, with year-over-year growth of 3.28%. Sales of environmental and sanitation machinery and ventilation equipment are performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. Revenue is recognized when the Company has delivered goods to the designated address as agreed by contract and such delivered goods have been verified for acceptance by customers, and the Company has collected the payments or has obtained the right to the payments, and related economic benefits are highly probable to flow to the Company. The sanitation operation service is a performance obligation satisfied over time. Revenue is recognized based on the service assessment statement confirmed by the labor receiving party, etc. As operating revenue is one of the key performance indicators of the Company, the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of 109 revenue recognition have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements, we have identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter. 2. Responsive audit procedures Our main audit procedures for revenue recognition are as follows: (1) We obtained understandings of key internal controls related to revenue recognition, assessed the design of these controls, determined whether they had been executed, and tested the effectiveness of the operation; (2) We checked sales contracts with clients, obtained understandings of main contractual terms or conditions, and assessed whether the revenue recognition method conformed to China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises; (3) We performed analysis procedure on operating revenue and gross margin by month, product, client, project, etc., so as to identify whether there are significant or abnormal fluctuations and find out the reason of fluctuations; (4) For revenue from sales of environmental and sanitation machinery, ventilation equipment, etc., we checked supporting documents related to revenue recognition by sampling method, including sales contracts, sales invoices, delivery lists, shipping documents, client acceptance receipts, etc. For revenue from sanitation operation service, we checked supporting documents related to revenue recognition by sampling method, including sales contracts, service assessment statements, supervision schedule, etc.; (5) We performed confirmation procedures on significant clients of product sales and major clients of sanitation operation service to confirm the sales amounts in the current period, and the balances of current accounts; (6) We performed cut-off tests on the operating revenue recognized around the balance sheet date, and assessed whether the operating revenue was recognized in the appropriate period; and (7) We checked whether information related to operating revenue had been presented appropriately in the financial statements. (II) Impairment of accounts receivable and long-term receivables 1. Key audit matters Please refer to section III (X) and section V (I) 3, 9 and 11 of notes to the financial statements for details. As of December 31, 2022, the book balance of accounts receivable amounted to 6,210,048,763.32 yuan, with provision for bad debts of 584,256,290.95 yuan, and the carrying amount amounted to 5,625,792,472.37 yuan; the book balance of long-term receivables (including those due within one year) amounted to 1,541.22 million yuan, with provision for bad debts of 132.59 million yuan, and the carrying amount amounted to 1,408.64 million yuan. The carrying amount of accounts receivable and long-term receivables (collectively referred to as “receivables”) totaled 7,034.43 million yuan. Based on credit risk features of receivables, the Company’s management (the “Management”) measures the provision for bad debts at the amount of lifetime expected credit losses, either on an individual basis or on a collective basis. For receivables with expected credit losses measured on an individual basis, the Management estimates the expected cash flows, so as to identify the provision for bad debts to be accrued, based on a comprehensive consideration of information with reasonableness and evidence, which is related to the past events, the current situation and the forecast of future economic conditions. For receivables with expected credit losses measured on a collective basis, the Management classifies portfolios on the basis of overdue days or ages, adjusts them based on historical credit risk loss experience and forward-looking estimations, prepares the comparison table of overdue days or ages and expected credit loss rate of receivables, so as to calculate the provision for bad debts to be accrued. As the amount of receivables is significant and the impairment testing involves significant judgment of the Management, we have identified impairment of receivables as a key audit matter. 2. Responsive audit procedures Our main audit procedures for impairment of receivables are as follows: (1) We obtained understandings of key internal controls related to receivables, assessed the design of these controls, determined whether they had been executed, and tested the effectiveness of the operation; (2) We reviewed receivables with provision for bad debts made in previous periods for their subsequent write-off or reversal, and assessed the accuracy of historical estimations made by the Management; (3) We reviewed the consideration of the Management on credit risk assessment of receivables and objective evidence, and assessed whether the credit risk features of receivables had been appropriately identified by the Management; 110 (4) For receivables with expected credit losses measured on an individual basis, we obtained and checked the Management’s estimations on the expected future cash flows, assessed the reasonableness of key assumptions and the accuracy of data adopted in the estimations and checked them with acquired external evidence; (5) For receivables with expected credit losses measured on a collective basis, we assessed the reasonableness of portfolio classification on the basis of credit risk features; we assessed the reasonableness of the comparison table of overdue days or ages and expected credit loss rate of receivables prepared by the Management based on the historical credit loss experience of portfolios with similar credit risk features and forward-looking estimations; we tested the accuracy and completeness of data used by the Management (including overdue days, ages, etc.) and whether the calculation of provision for bad debts was accurate; (6) We checked the subsequent collection of receivables and assessed the reasonableness of provision for bad debts made by the Management; and (6) We checked whether information related to impairment of receivables had been presented appropriately in the financial statements. (III) Impairment of goodwill 1. Key audit matters Please refer to section III (XX) and section V (I) 20 of notes to the financial statements for details. As of December 31, 2022, the cost of goodwill amounted to 6,268,845,549.87 yuan, with provision for impairment of 529,242,870.08 yuan, and the carrying amount amounted to 5,739,602,679.79 yuan, accounting for 19.61% of total assets. The Management will perform impairment test on goodwill together with related asset groups or asset group portfolios when there is evidence indicating impairment loss in asset group or asset group portfolio related to goodwill, or at the end of each period, and the recoverable amount of related asset groups or asset group portfolios is determined based on the estimated present value of future cash flows. Key assumptions adopted in the impairment test include: revenue growth rate in detailed forecast period, growth rate for stable income, profit margin, pre-tax discount rate, etc. As the amount of goodwill is significant and impairment test involves significant judgment of the Management, we have identified impairment of goodwill as a key audit matter. 2. Responsive audit procedures Our main audit procedures for impairment of goodwill are as follows: (1) We obtained understandings of key internal controls related to impairment of goodwill, assessed the design of these controls, determined whether they had been executed, and tested the effectiveness of the operation; (2) We reviewed the present value of future cash flows estimated by the Management in previous years and the actual operating results, and assessed the accuracy of the Management’s historical estimations; (3) We obtained understandings of and assessed the competency, professional quality and objectivity of external appraisers engaged by the Management; (4) We assessed the competency, professional quality and objectivity of external appraisers engaged by us and the appropriateness of their works; (5) We assessed the reasonableness and consistency of impairment test method adopted by the Management; (6) We assessed the reasonableness of key assumptions used in impairment test and reviewed whether relevant assumptions were consistent with overall economy environment, industry condition, management situation, historical experience, operation plan, approved budget, meeting summary and other assumptions related to the financial statements used by the Management; (7) We reviewed the sensitivity analysis on key assumptions performed by the Management, assessed the effect of changes in key assumptions on impairment test result, and identified signs of possible management bias in choosing key assumptions; (8) We tested the accuracy, completeness and relativity of data used in the impairment test by the Management and reviewed the internal consistency of related information in the impairment test; (9) We tested whether the calculation of estimated present value of future cash flows by the Management was accurate; and (10) We checked whether information related to impairment of goodwill had been presented appropriately in the financial statements. 111 IV. Other Information The Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. V. Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements The Management is responsible for preparing and presenting fairly the financial statements in accordance with China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, as well as designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. VI. Certified Public Accountant’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with China Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatement can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit performed in accordance with China Standards on Auditing. We also: (I) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. (II) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. (III) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management. (IV) Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. (V) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and whether the financial statements 112 represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. (VI) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain sole responsibility for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding the planned audit scope, time schedule and significant audit findings, including any deficiencies in internal control of concern that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Accounting treatment of business combination under common control Assets and liabilities arising from business combination are measured at carrying amount of the combined party included in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the combination date. Difference between carrying amount of the equity of the combined party included in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party and that of the combination consideration or total par value of shares issued is adjusted to capital reserve, if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. 2. Accounting treatment of business combination not under common control When combination cost is in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets obtained from the acquiree at the acquisition date, the excess is recognized as goodwill; otherwise, the fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, and the measurement of the combination cost are reviewed, then the difference is recognized in profit or loss. (VI) Compilation method of consolidated financial statements The parent company brings all its controlled subsidiaries into the consolidation scope. The consolidated financial statements are compiled by the parent company according to “CASBE 33 – Consolidated Financial Statements”, based on relevant information and the financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries. (VII) Classification of joint arrangements and accounting treatment of joint operations 1. Joint arrangements include joint operations and joint ventures. 2. When the Company is a joint operator of a joint operation, it recognizes the following items in relation to its interest in a joint operation: (1) its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; (2) its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; (3) its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; (4) its share of the revenue from the sale of the assets by the joint operation; and (5) its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. (VIII) Recognition criteria of cash and cash equivalents Cash as presented in cash flow statement refers to cash on hand and deposit on demand for payment. Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that can be readily converted to cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. (IX) Foreign currency translation 1. Translation of transactions denominated in foreign currency Transactions denominated in foreign currency are translated into RMB yuan at the spot exchange rate at the transaction date at initial recognition. At the balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currency are translated at the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date with difference, except for those arising from the principal and interest of exclusive borrowings eligible for capitalization, included in profit or loss; non-cash items carried at historical costs are translated at the spot exchange rate at the transaction date, with the RMB amounts unchanged; non-cash items carried at fair value in foreign currency are translated at the spot exchange rate at the date when the fair value was determined, with difference included in profit or loss or other comprehensive 127 income. 2. Translation of financial statements measured in foreign currency The assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are translated into RMB at the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date; the equity items, other than undistributed profit, are translated at the spot exchange rate at the transaction date; the revenues and expenses in the income statement are translated into RMB at the spot exchange rate at the transaction date. The difference arising from the aforementioned foreign currency translation is included in other comprehensive income. (X) Financial instruments 1. Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets are classified into the following three categories when initially recognized: (1) financial assets at amortized cost; (2) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; (3) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified into the following four categories when initially recognized: (1) financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; (2) financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies; (3) financial guarantee contracts not fall within the above categories (1) and (2), and commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, which do not fall within the above category (1); (4) financial liabilities at amortized cost. 2. Recognition criteria, measurement method and derecognition condition of financial assets and financial liabilities (1) Recognition criteria and measurement method of financial assets and financial liabilities When the Company becomes a party to a financial instrument, it is recognized as a financial asset or financial liability. The financial assets and financial liabilities initially recognized by the Company are measured at fair value; for the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction expenses thereof are directly included in profit or loss; for other categories of financial assets and financial liabilities, the transaction expenses thereof are included into the initially recognized amount. However, at initial recognition, for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component or in circumstances where the Company does not consider the financing components in contracts within one year, they are measured at the transaction price in accordance with “CASBE 14 – Revenues”. (2) Subsequent measurement of financial assets 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost The Company measures its financial assets at the amortized costs using effective interest method. Gains or losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and are not part of hedging relationships shall be included into profit or loss when the financial assets are derecognized, reclassified, amortized using effective interest method or recognized with impairment loss. 2) Debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income The Company measures its debt instrument investments at fair value. Interests, impairment gains or losses, and gains and losses on foreign exchange that calculated using effective interest method shall be included into profit or loss, while other gains or losses are included into other comprehensive income. Accumulated gains or losses that initially recognized as other comprehensive income should be transferred out into profit or loss when the financial assets are derecognized. 3) Equity instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income The Company measures its equity instrument investments at fair value. Dividends obtained (other than those as part of investment cost recovery) shall be included into profit or loss, while other gains or losses are included into other comprehensive income. Accumulated gains or losses that initially recognized as other comprehensive income should be transferred out into retained earnings when the financial assets are derecognized. 4) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss The Company measures its financial assets at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value (including interests and dividends) shall be included into profit or loss, except for financial assets that are part of hedging relationships. (3) Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities 1) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives that are 128 liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss. The Company measures such kind of liabilities at fair value. The amount of changes in the fair value of the financial liabilities that are attributable to changes in the Company’s own credit risk shall be included into other comprehensive income, unless such treatment would create or enlarge accounting mismatches in profit or loss. Other gains or losses on those financial liabilities (including interests, changes in fair value that are attributable to reasons other than changes in the Company’s own credit risk) shall be included into profit or loss, except for financial liabilities that are part of hedging relationships. Accumulated gains or losses that originally recognized as other comprehensive income should be transferred out into retained earnings when the financial liabilities are derecognized. 2) Financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies The Company measures its financial liabilities in accordance with “CASBE 23 – Transfer of Financial Assets”. 3) Financial guarantee contracts not fall within the above categories 1) and 2), and commitments to provide a loan at a below- market interest rate, which do not fall within the above category 1) The Company measures its financial liabilities at the higher of: a. the amount of loss allowances in accordance with impairment requirements of financial instruments; b. the amount initially recognized less the amount of accumulated amortization recognized in accordance with “CASBE 14 – Revenues”. 4) Financial liabilities at amortized cost The Company measures its financial liabilities at amortized cost using effective interest method. Gains or losses on financial liabilities that are measured at amortized cost and are not part of hedging relationships shall be included into profit or loss when the financial liabilities are derecognized and amortized using effective interest method. (4) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities 1) Financial assets are derecognized when: a. the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire; or b. the financial assets have been transferred and the transfer qualifies for derecognition in accordance with “CASBE 23 – Transfer of Financial Assets”. 2) Only when the underlying present obligations of a financial liability are relieved totally or partly may the financial liability be derecognized accordingly. 3. Recognition criteria and measurement method of financial assets transfer Where the Company has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset, it derecognizes the financial asset, and any right or liability arising from such transfer is recognized independently as an asset or a liability. If it retained substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial asset, it continues recognizing the financial asset. Where the Company does not transfer or retain substantially all of the risks and rewards related to the ownership of a financial asset, it is dealt with according to the circumstances as follows respectively: (1) if the Company does not retain its control over the financial asset, it derecognizes the financial asset, and any right or liability arising from such transfer is recognized independently as an asset or a liability; (2) if the Company retains its control over the financial asset, according to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset, it recognizes the related financial asset and recognizes the relevant liability accordingly. If the transfer of an entire financial asset satisfies the conditions for derecognition, the difference between the amounts of the following two items is included in profit or loss: (1) the carrying amount of the transferred financial asset as of the date of derecognition; (2) the sum of consideration received from the transfer of the financial asset, and the accumulative amount of the changes of the fair value originally included in other comprehensive income proportionate to the transferred financial asset (financial assets transferred refer to debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income). If the transfer of financial asset partially satisfies the conditions to derecognition, the entire carrying amount of the transferred financial asset is, between the portion which is derecognized and the portion which is not, apportioned according to their respective relative fair value, and the difference between the amounts of the following two items is included into profit or loss: (1) the carrying amount of the portion which is derecognized; (2) the sum of consideration of the portion which is derecognized, and the portion of the accumulative 129 amount of the changes in the fair value originally included in other comprehensive income which is corresponding to the portion which is derecognized (financial assets transferred refer to debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income). 4. Fair value determination method of financial assets and liabilities The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data and information are available to measure fair value. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are arranged in the following hierarchy and used accordingly: (1) Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date; (2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals; market-corroborated inputs; (3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs include interest rate that is not observable and cannot be corroborated by observable market data at commonly quoted intervals, historical volatility, future cash flows to be paid to fulfill the disposal obligation assumed in business combination, financial forecast developed using the Company’s own data, etc. 5. Impairment of financial instruments (1) Measurement and accounting treatment The Company, on the basis of expected credit loss, recognizes loss allowances of financial assets at amortized cost, debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets, leases receivable, loan commitments other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial guarantee contracts not belong to financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies. Expected credit losses refer to the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Credit loss refers to the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate. Among which, purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets are discounted at the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. At the balance sheet date, the Company shall only recognize the cumulative changes in the lifetime expected credit losses since initial recognition as a loss allowance for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets. For leases receivable, and accounts receivable and contract assets resulting from transactions regulated in “CASBE 14 – Revenues”, the Company chooses simplified approach to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. For financial assets other than the above, on each balance sheet date, the Company shall assess whether the credit risk on the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company shall measure the loss allowance for the financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition; otherwise, the Company shall measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit loss. Considering reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the balance sheet date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition, so as to assess whether the credit risk on the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company may assume that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have relatively low credit risk at the balance sheet date. The Company shall estimate expected credit risk and measure expected credit losses on an individual or a collective basis. When 130 the Company adopts the collective basis, financial instruments are grouped with similar credit risk features. The Company shall remeasure expected credit loss on each balance sheet date, and increased or reversed amounts of loss allowance arising therefrom shall be included into profit or loss as impairment losses or gains. For a financial asset measured at amortized cost, the loss allowance reduces the carrying amount of such financial asset presented in the balance sheet; for a debt investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance shall be recognized in other comprehensive income and shall not reduce the carrying amount of such financial asset. (2) Financial instruments with expected credit risk assessed on a collective basis and expected credit losses measured using three-stage model Basis for determination of Items Method for measuring expected credit loss portfolio Based on historical credit loss experience, the current situation and the forecast of Other receivables – Portfolio grouped with Balances due from related parties future economic conditions, the Company balances due from related parties within the within the consolidation scope calculates expected credit loss through consolidation scope exposure at default and 12-month or lifetime expected credit loss rate.

For long-term receivables within the credit period that has not reached the contractual payment deadline, provision for bad debts is Long-term receivables – Portfolio grouped with accrued at 5% of the balance. For long-term Nature of the balance ages receivables that have exceeded the contractual payment deadline and have not yet been paid, provision for bad debts is accrued based on the age of the balance. 2)Accounts receivable – comparison table of ages and lifetime expected credit loss rate of portfolio grouped with ages a.

Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are presented separately in the balance sheet and are not offset. However, the Company offsets a financial asset and a financial liability and presents the net amount in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company: (1) currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and (2) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. For a transfer of a financial asset that does not qualify for derecognition, the Company does not offset the transferred asset and the associated liability. (XI) Inventories 1. Classification of inventories Inventories include finished goods or goods held for sale in the ordinary course of business, work in process in the process of production, materials, supplies, etc. to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services. 2. Accounting method for dispatching inventories: 132 Inventories dispatched from storage are accounted for with weighted average method. 3. Basis for determining net realizable value At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value; provisions for inventory write- down are made on the excess of its cost over the net realizable value. The net realizable value of inventories held for sale is determined based on the amount of the estimated selling price less the estimated selling expenses and relevant taxes and surcharges in the ordinary course of business; the net realizable value of inventories to be processed is determined based on the amount of the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion, selling expenses and relevant taxes and surcharges in the ordinary course of business; at the balance sheet date, when only part of the same item of inventories have agreed price, their net realizable value are determined separately and are compared with their costs to set the provision for inventory write-down to be made or reversed. 4. Inventory system Perpetual inventory method is adopted. 5. Amortization method of low-value consumables and packages (1) Low-value consumables Low-value consumables are amortized with one-off method. (2) Packages Packages are amortized with one-off method. (XII) Contract costs Assets related to contract costs include costs of obtaining a contract and costs to fulfil a contract. The Company recognizes as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract if those costs are expected to be recovered. If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract are not within the scope of standards related to inventories, fixed assets or intangible assets, etc., the Company shall recognize the costs to fulfil a contract as an asset if all the following criteria are satisfied: 1. The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract, including direct labor, direct materials, manufacturing overhead cost (or similar cost), cost that are explicitly chargeable to the customer under the contract, and other costs that are only related to the contract; 2. The costs enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future; and 3. The costs are expected to be recovered. An asset related to contract costs shall be amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with related goods or services, with amortization included into profit or loss. The Company shall make provision for impairment and recognize an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset related to contract costs exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates less the costs expected to be incurred. The Company shall recognize a reversal of an impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss when the impairment conditions no longer exist or have improved. The carrying amount of the asset after the reversal shall not exceed the amount that would have been determined on the reversal date if no provision for impairment had been made previously. (XIII) Non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale 1. Classification of non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale Non-current assets or disposal groups are accounted for as held for sale when the following conditions are all met: (1) the asset must be available for immediate sale in its present condition subject to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups; (2) its sales must be highly probable, i.e., the Company has made a decision on the sale plan and has obtained a firm purchase commitment, and the sale is expected to be completed within one year. When the Company acquires a non-current asset or disposal group with a view to resale, it shall classify the non-current asset or disposal group as held for sale at the acquisition date only if the requirement of “expected to be completed within one year” is met at that date and it is highly probable that other criteria for held for sale will be met within a short period (usually within three months). An asset or a disposal group is still accounted for as held for sale when the Company remains committed to its plan to sell the 133 asset or disposal group in the circumstance that non-related party transactions fail to be completed within one year due to one of the following reasons: (1) a buyer or others unexpectedly set conditions that will extend the sale period, while the Company has taken timely actions to respond to the conditions and expects a favorable resolution of the delaying factors within one year since the setting; (2) a non-current asset or disposal group classified as held for sale fails to be sold within one year due to rare cases, and the Company has taken action necessary to respond to the circumstances during the initial one-year period and the criteria for held for sale are met. 2. Measurement of non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale (1) Initial measurement and subsequent measurement For initial measurement and subsequent measurement as at the balance sheet date of a non-current asset or disposal group held for sale, where the carrying amount is higher than the fair value less costs to sell, the carrying amount is written down to the fair value less costs to sell, and the write-down is recognized in profit or loss as assets impairment loss, meanwhile, provision for impairment of assets held for sale shall be made. For a non-current asset or disposal group classified as held for sale at the acquisition date, the asset or disposal group is measured on initial recognition at the lower of its initial measurement amount had it not been so classified and fair value less costs to sell. Apart from the non-current asset or disposal group acquired through business combination, the difference arising from the initial recognition of a non-current asset or disposal group at the fair value less costs to sell shall be included into profit or loss. The assets impairment loss recognized for a disposal group held for sale shall reduce the carrying amount of goodwill in the disposal group first, and then reduce its carrying amount based on the proportion of each non-current asset’s carrying amount in the disposal group. No provision for depreciation or amortization shall be made on non-current assets held for sale or non-current assets in disposal groups held for sale, while interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group held for sale shall continue to be recognized. (2) Reversal of assets impairment loss When there is a subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell of a non-current asset held for sale at the balance sheet date, the write-down shall be recovered, and shall be reversed not in excess of the impairment loss that has been recognized after the non- current asset was classified as held for sale. The reversal shall be included into profit or loss. Assets impairment loss that has been recognized before the classification is not reversed. When there is a subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell of a disposal group held for sale at the balance sheet date, the write-down shall be recovered, and shall be reversed not in excess of the non-current assets impairment loss that has been recognized after the disposal group was classified as held for sale. The reversal shall be included into profit or loss. The reduced carrying amount of goodwill and non-current assets impairment loss that has been recognized before the classification is not reversed. For the subsequent reversal of the impairment loss that has been recognized in a disposal group held for sale, the carrying amount is increased based on the proportion of carrying amount of each non-current asset (excluding goodwill) in the disposal group. (3) Non-current asset or disposal group that is no longer classified as held for sale and derecognized A non-current asset or disposal group that does not met criteria for held for sale and no longer classified as held for sale, or a non-current asset that removed from a disposal group held for sale shall be measured at the lower of: a. its carrying amount before it was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation, amortization or impairment that would have been recognized had it not been classified as held for sale; and b. its recoverable amount. When a non-current asset or disposal group classified as held for sale is derecognized, unrecognized gains or losses shall be included into profit or loss. (XIV) Long-term equity investments 1. Judgment of joint control and significant influence Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control of these policies. 134 2. Determination of investment cost (1) For business combination under common control, if the consideration of the combining party is that it makes payment in cash, transfers non-cash assets, assumes its liabilities or issues equity securities, on the date of combination, it regards the share of the carrying amount of the equity of the combined party included in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party as the initial cost of the investment. The difference between the initial cost of the long-term equity investments and the carrying amount of the combination consideration paid or the par value of shares issued offsets capital reserve; if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. When long-term equity investments are obtained through business combination under common control achieved in stages, the Company determines whether it is a “bundled transaction”. If it is a “bundled transaction”, stages as a whole are considered as one transaction in accounting treatment. If it is not a “bundled transaction”, on the date of combination, investment cost is initially recognized at the share of the carrying amount of net assets of the combined party included the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party. The difference between the initial investment cost of long-term equity investments at the acquisition date and the carrying amount of the previously held long-term equity investments plus the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the newly acquired equity is adjusted to capital reserve; if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. (2) For business combination not under common control, investment cost is initially recognized at the acquisition-date fair value of considerations paid. When long-term equity investments are obtained through business combination not under common control achieved in stages, the Company determined whether they are stand-alone financial statements or consolidated financial statements in accounting treatment: 1) In the case of stand-alone financial statements, investment cost is initially recognized at the carrying amount of the previously held long-term equity investments plus the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the newly acquired equity. 2) In the case of consolidated financial statements, the Company determines whether it is a “bundled transaction”. If it is a “bundled transaction”, stages as a whole are considered as one transaction in accounting treatment. If it is not a “bundled transaction”, the carrying amount of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at the acquisition- date fair value, and the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognized in investment income; when the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree involves other comprehensive income under equity method, the related other comprehensive income is reclassified as income for the acquisition period, excluding other comprehensive income arising from changes in net liabilities or assets from remeasurement of defined benefit plan of the acquiree. (3) Long-term equity investments obtained through ways other than business combination: the initial cost of a long-term equity investment obtained by making payment in cash is the purchase cost which is actually paid; that obtained on the basis of issuing equity securities is the fair value of the equity securities issued; that obtained through debt restructuring is determined according to “CASBE 12 – Debt Restructuring”; and that obtained through non-cash assets exchange is determined according to “CASBE 7 – Non-cash Assets Exchange”. 3. Subsequent measurement and recognition method of profit or loss For a long-term equity investment with control relationship, it is accounted for with cost method; for a long-term equity investment with joint control or significant influence relationship, it is accounted for with equity method. 4. Disposal of a subsidiary in stages resulting in the Company’s loss of control (1) Stand-alone financial statements The difference between the carrying amount of the disposed equity and the consideration obtained thereof is recognized in profit or loss. If the disposal does not result in the Company’s loss of significant influence or joint control, the remained equity is accounted for with equity method; however, if the disposal results in the Company’s loss of control, joint control, or significant influence, the remained equity is accounted for according to “CASBE 22 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. (2) Consolidated financial statements 1) Disposal of a subsidiary in stages not qualified as “bundled transaction” resulting in the Company’s loss of control 135 Before the Company’s loss of control, the difference between the disposal consideration and the proportionate share of net assets in the disposed subsidiary from acquisition date or combination date to the disposal date is adjusted to capital reserve (capital premium), if the balance of capital reserve is insufficient to offset, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. When the Company loses control, the remained equity is remeasured at the loss-of-control-date fair value. The aggregated value of disposal consideration and the fair value of the remained equity, less the share of net assets in the disposed subsidiary held before the disposal from the acquisition date or combination date to the disposal date is recognized in investment income in the period when the Company loses control over such subsidiary, and meanwhile goodwill is offset correspondingly. Other comprehensive income related to equity investments in former subsidiary is reclassified as investment income upon the Company’s loss of control. 2) Disposal of a subsidiary in stages qualified as “bundled transaction” resulting in the Company’s loss of control In case of “bundled transaction”, stages as a whole are considered as one transaction resulting in loss of control in accounting treatment. However, before the Company loses control, the difference between the disposal consideration at each stage and the proportionate share of net assets in the disposed subsidiary is recognized as other comprehensive income at the consolidated financial statements and reclassified as profit or loss in the period when the Company loses control over such subsidiary. (XV) Investment property 1. Investment property includes land use right of leased-out property and of property held for capital appreciation and buildings that have been leased out. 2. The initial measurement of investment property is based on its cost, and subsequent measurement is made using the cost model, the depreciation or amortization method is the same as that of fixed assets and intangible assets. (XVI) Fixed assets 1. Recognition principles of fixed assets Fixed assets are tangible assets held for use in the production of goods or rendering of services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and expected to be used during more than one accounting year. Fixed assets are recognized if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the assets will flow to the Company and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably. 2. Depreciation method of different categories of fixed assets Residual value proportion Annual depreciation rate Categories Depreciation method Useful life (years) (%) (%) Buildings and structures Straight-line method 3-35 3.00-5.00 2.71-32.33 General equipment Straight-line method 3-5 3.00-5.00 19.00-32.33 Special equipment Straight-line method 2-15 0.00-5.00 6.33-50.00 Transport facilities Straight-line method 3-15 3.00-5.00 6.33-32.33 Other equipment Straight-line method 3-10 5.00 9.50-31.67 (XVII) Construction in progress 1. Construction in progress is recognized if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company, and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Construction in progress is measured at the actual cost incurred to reach its designed usable conditions. 2. Construction in progress is transferred into fixed assets at its actual cost when it reaches the designed usable conditions. When the auditing of the construction in progress was not finished while reaching the designed usable conditions, it is transferred to fixed assets using estimated value first, and then adjusted accordingly when the actual cost is settled, but the accumulated depreciation is not to be adjusted retrospectively. (XVIII) Borrowing costs 1. Recognition principle of borrowing costs capitalization Where the borrowing costs incurred to the Company can be directly attributable to the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, it is capitalized and included in the costs of relevant assets; other borrowing costs are 136 recognized as expenses on the basis of the actual amount incurred, and are included in profit or loss. 2. Borrowing costs capitalization period (1) The borrowing costs are not capitalized unless the following requirements are all met: 1) the asset disbursements have already incurred; 2) the borrowing costs have already incurred; and 3) the acquisition and construction or production activities which are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have already started. (2) Suspension of capitalization: where the acquisition and construction or production of a qualified asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption period lasts for more than 3 months, the capitalization of the borrowing costs is suspended; the borrowing costs incurred during such period are recognized as expenses, and are included in profit or loss, till the acquisition and construction or production of the asset restarts. (3) Ceasing of capitalization: when the qualified asset under acquisition and construction or production is ready for the intended use or sale, the capitalization of the borrowing costs is ceased. 3. Capitalization rate and capitalized amount of borrowing costs For borrowings exclusively for the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, the to-be- capitalized amount of interests is determined in light of the actual interest expenses incurred (including amortization of premium or discount based on effective interest method) of the special borrowings in the current period less the interest income on the unused borrowings as a deposit in the bank or as a temporary investment; where a general borrowing is used for the acquisition and construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, the Company calculates and determines the to-be-capitalized amount of interests on the general borrowing by multiplying the weighted average asset disbursement of the part of the accumulative asset disbursements less the general borrowing by the capitalization rate of the general borrowing used. (XIX) Intangible assets 1. Intangible assets include land use right, patent right, non-patented technology, etc. The initial measurement of intangible assets is based on its cost. 2. For intangible assets with finite useful lives, their amortization amounts are amortized within their useful lives systematically and reasonably, if it is unable to determine the expected realization pattern reliably, intangible assets are amortized by the straight- line method with details as follows: Items Amortization period (years) Franchise Contractual term Land use right 35-50 Patented technology Economic life cycle Software 3-10 Other 5 3. Expenditures on the research phase of an internal project are recognized as profit or loss when they are incurred. An intangible asset arising from the development phase of an internal project is recognized if the Company can demonstrate all of the followings: (1) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; (2) its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (3) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, among other things, the Company can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset; (4) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and (5) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Criteria for distinguishing the research phase from the development phase of an internal project to create an intangible asset: The planned investigation phase for acquiring new technology and knowledge should be defined as the research phase, which has the characteristics of planning and exploratory nature; before commercial production or use, when the research results or other knowledge are applied to a certain plan or design with the intention to produce new or substantially improved materials, 137 devices, products, etc., such stage should be determined as the development phase, which has the characteristics of pertinence and greater possibility of forming results. The Company divides the research and development phases by forming the prototype drawing and starting the prototype trial production. Expenditures in the research phase of internal research and development projects are included in profit or loss when they incur. When the Company enters the development phase, project expenditures are first calculated by projects under “development expenditure”, and if the capitalization conditions are met, they are presented as development expenditures in the financial statements. The project will be transferred to intangible assets when the project has the conditions for sale or mass production. (XX) Impairment of part of long-term assets For long-term assets such as long-term equity investments, investment property at cost model, fixed assets, construction in progress, right-of-use assets, intangible assets with finite useful lives, etc., if at the balance sheet date there is indication of impairment, the recoverable amount is to be estimated. For goodwill recognized in business combination and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, no matter whether there is indication of impairment, impairment test is performed annually. Impairment test on goodwill is performed on related asset group or asset group portfolio. When the recoverable amount of such long-term assets is lower than their carrying amount, the difference is recognized as provision for assets impairment through profit or loss. (XXI) Long-term prepayments Long-term prepayments are expenses that have been recognized but with amortization period over one year (excluding one year). They are recorded with actual cost, and evenly amortized within the beneficiary period or stipulated period. If items of long- term prepayments fail to be beneficial to the following accounting periods, residual values of such items are included in profit or loss. (XXII) Employee benefits 1. Employee benefits include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits. 2. Short-term employee benefits The Company recognizes, in the accounting period in which an employee provides service, short-term employee benefits actually incurred as liabilities, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset. 3. Post-employment benefits The Company classifies post-employment benefit plans as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. (1) The Company recognizes in the accounting period in which an employee provides service the contribution payable to a defined contribution plan as a liability, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset. (2) Accounting treatment by the Company for defined benefit plan usually involves the following steps: 1) In accordance with the projected unit credit method, using unbiased and mutually compatible actuarial assumptions to estimate related demographic variables and financial variables, measure the obligations under the defined benefit plan, and determine the periods to which the obligations are attributed. Meanwhile, the Company discounts obligations under the defined benefit plan to determine the present value of the defined benefit plan obligations and the current service cost; 2) When a defined benefit plan has assets, the Company recognizes the deficit or surplus by deducting the fair value of defined benefit plan assets from the present value of the defined benefit plan obligation as a net defined benefit plan liability or net defined benefit plan asset. When a defined benefit plan has a surplus, the Company measures the net defined benefit plan asset at the lower of the surplus in the defined benefit plan and the asset ceiling; 3) At the end of the period, the Company recognizes the following components of employee benefits cost arising from defined benefit plan: a. service cost; b. net interest on the net defined benefit plan liability (asset); and c. changes as a result of remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability (asset). Item a and item b are recognized in profit or loss or the cost of a relevant asset. Item c is recognized in other comprehensive income and is not to be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. However, the Company may transfer those amounts recognized in other comprehensive income within equity. 4. Termination benefits Termination benefits provided to employees are recognized as an employee benefit liability for termination benefits, with a 138 corresponding charge to profit or loss at the earlier of the following dates: (1) when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the offer of termination benefits because of an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal; or (2) when the Company recognizes cost or expenses related to a restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits. 5. Other long-term employee benefits When other long-term employee benefits provided to the employees satisfied the conditions for classifying as a defined contribution plan, those benefits are accounted for in accordance with the requirements relating to defined contribution plan, while other benefits are accounted for in accordance with the requirements relating to defined benefit plan. The Company recognizes the cost of employee benefits arising from other long-term employee benefits as the followings: (1) service cost; (2) net interest on the net liability or net assets of other long-term employee benefits; and (3) changes as a result of remeasurement of the net liability or net assets of other long-term employee benefits. As a practical expedient, the net total of the aforesaid amounts is recognized in profit or loss or included in the cost of a relevant asset. (XXIII) Provisions 1. Provisions are recognized when fulfilling the present obligations arising from contingencies such as providing guarantee for other parties, litigation, products quality guarantee, onerous contract, etc., may cause the outflow of the economic benefit and such obligations can be reliably measured. 2. The initial measurement of provisions is based on the best estimated expenditures required in fulfilling the present obligations, and its carrying amount is reviewed at the balance sheet date. (XXIV) Share-based payment 1. Types of share-based payment Share-based payment consists of equity-settled share-based payment and cash-settled share-based payment. 2. Accounting treatment for settlements, modifications and cancellations of share-based payment plans (1) Equity-settled share-based payment For equity-settled share-based payment transaction with employees, if the equity instruments granted vest immediately, the fair value of those equity instruments is measured at grant date and recognized as transaction cost or expense, with a corresponding adjustment in capital reserve; if the equity instruments granted do not vest until the counterparty completes a specified period of service or fulfils certain performance conditions, at the balance sheet date within the vesting period, the fair value of those equity instruments measured at grant date based on the best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest is recognized as transaction cost or expense, with a corresponding adjustment in capital reserve. For equity-settled share-based payment transaction with parties other than employees, if the fair value of the services received can be measured reliably, the fair value is measured at the date the Company receives the service; if the fair value of the services received cannot be measured reliably, but that of equity instruments can be measured reliably, the fair value of the equity instruments granted measured at the date the Company receives the service is referred to, and recognized as transaction cost or expense, with a corresponding increase in equity. (2) Cash-settled share-based payment For cash-settled share-based payment transactions with employees, if share appreciation rights vest immediately, the fair value of the liability incurred as the acquisition of services is measured at grant date and recognized as transaction cost or expense, with a corresponding increase in liabilities; if share appreciation rights do not vest until the employees have completed a specified period of service or fulfils certain performance conditions, the liability is measured, at each balance sheet date until settled, at the fair value of the share appreciation rights measured at grant date based on the best estimate of the number of share appreciation right expected to vest. (3) Modifications and cancellations of share-based payment plan If the modification increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Company includes the incremental fair value granted in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted; similarly, if the modification increases the number of equity instruments granted, the Company includes the fair value of the additional equity instruments granted, in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the 139 equity instruments granted; if the Company modifies the vesting conditions in a manner that is beneficial to the employee, the Company takes the modified vesting conditions into account. If the modification reduces the fair value of the equity instruments granted, the Company does not take into account that decrease in fair value and continue to measure the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments granted; if the modification reduces the number of equity instruments granted to an employee, that reduction is accounted for as a cancellation of that portion of the grant; if the Company modifies the vesting conditions in a manner that is not beneficial to the employee, the Company does not take the modified vesting conditions into account. If the Company cancels or settles a grant of equity instruments during the vesting period (other than that cancelled when the vesting conditions are not satisfied), the Company accounts for the cancellation or settlement as an acceleration of vesting, and therefore recognizes immediately the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. (XXV) Other financial instruments such as preferred shares and perpetual bonds Pursuant to CASBEs on financial instruments and the “Regulations on Accounting Treatments of Perpetual Bonds” (Cai Kuai [2019] No. 2), for financial instruments such as convertible bonds etc., the Company classifies a financial instrument or its components at initial recognition as a financial asset or liability or equity instrument, based on contract terms and economic essence it reveals instead of its legal form, combining with the definitions of financial asset, liability and equity instrument. At the balance sheet date, for a financial instrument classified as an equity instrument, its interest expenditure or dividend distribution is treated as profit distribution, and share repurchase and cancelation are treated as changes in equity; for a financial instrument classified as a financial liability, its interest expenditure or dividend distribution is treated as borrowing expense, and gain or loss on repurchase or redemption is included in profit or loss. (XXVI) Revenue 1. Revenue recognition principles At contract inception, the Company shall assess the contracts and shall identify each performance obligation in the contracts, and determine whether the performance obligation should be satisfied over time or at a point in time. The Company satisfies a performance obligation over time if one of the following criteria is met, otherwise, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time: (1) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the economic benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs; (2) the customer can control goods as they are created by the Company’s performance; (3) goods created during the Company’s performance have irreplaceable uses and the Company has an enforceable right to the payments for performance completed to date during the whole contract period. For each performance obligation satisfied over time, the Company shall recognize revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. In the circumstance that the progress cannot be measured reasonably, but the costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligation are expected to be recovered, the Company shall recognize revenue only to the extent of the costs incurred until it can reasonably measure the progress. For each performance obligation satisfied at a point in time, the Company shall recognize revenue at the time point that the customer obtains control of relevant goods or services. To determine whether the customer has obtained control of goods, the Company shall consider the following indications: (1) the Company has a present right to payments for the goods, i.e., the customer is presently obliged to pay for the goods; (2) the Company has transferred the legal title of the goods to the customer, i.e., the customer has legal title to the goods; (3) the Company has transferred physical possession of the goods to the customer, i.e., the customer has physically possessed the goods; (4) the Company has transferred significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, i.e., the customer has obtained significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; (5) the customer has accepted the goods; (6) other evidence indicating the customer has obtained control over the goods. 2. Revenue measurement principle (1) Revenue is measured at the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a 140 customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties and those expected to be refunded to the customer. (2) If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company shall confirm the best estimate of variable consideration at expected value or the most likely amount. However, the transaction price that includes the amount of variable consideration only to the extent that it is high probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. (3) In the circumstance that the contract contains a significant financing component, the Company shall determine the transaction price based on the price that a customer would have paid for if the customer had paid cash for obtaining control over those goods or services. The difference between the transaction price and the amount of promised consideration is amortized under effective interest method over contractual period. The effects of a significant financing component shall not be considered if the Company expects, at the contract inception, that the period between when the customer obtains control over goods or services and when the customer pays consideration will be one year or less. (4) For contracts containing two or more performance obligations, the Company shall determine the stand-alone selling price at contract inception of the distinct good underlying each performance obligation and allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. 3. Revenue recognition method The Company mainly sells environmental and sanitation machinery, ventilation equipment, etc., and engages in sanitation operation service. (1) Sale of ventilation equipment is a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from domestic sales of products that do not require installation is recognized when the Company has delivered goods to the designated address as agreed by contract and such delivered goods have been verified for acceptance by customers, and the Company has obtained delivery receipts, and has collected the payments or has obtained the right to the payments, and related economic benefits are highly probable to flow to the Company. For products that need to be installed, revenue is recognized when the products are delivered and qualified for installation, commissioning and acceptance. Revenue from overseas sales is recognized when the Company has declared goods to the customs based on contractual agreements and has obtained a bill of lading, and the Company has collected the payments or has obtained the right to the payments, and related economic benefits are highly probable to flow to the Company. (2) Sales of environmental and sanitation machinery products is a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time, and revenue is recognized when customers receive and consume the products, and the Company has collected the payments or has obtained the right to the payments, and related economic benefits are highly probable to flow to the Company. (3) Sanitation operation service is a performance obligation satisfied over time. Revenue is recognized based on the service assessment statement confirmed by the labor receiving party, etc. (4) For revenue recognition method of PPP business with BOT models, please refer to section III (XXXIII) of notes to the financial statements for details. (XXVII) Government grants 1. Government grants shall be recognized if, and only if, the following conditions are all met: (1) the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to the grants; (2) the grants will be received. Monetary government grants are measured at the amount received or receivable. Non-monetary government grants are measured at fair value, and can be measured at nominal amount in the circumstance that fair value cannot be assessed. 2. Government grants related to assets Government grants related to assets are government grants with which the Company purchases, constructs or otherwise acquires long-term assets under requirements of government. In the circumstances that there is no specific government requirement, the Company shall determine based on the primary condition to acquire the grants, and government grants related to assets are government grants whose primary condition is to construct or otherwise acquire long-term assets. They offset carrying amount of relevant assets, or they are recognized as deferred income. If recognized as deferred income, they are included in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful lives of the relevant assets. Those measured at notional amount are directly included into profit or loss. For assets sold, transferred, disposed or damaged within the useful lives, balance of unamortized deferred income is transferred 141 into profit or loss of the period in which the disposal occurred. 3. Government grants related to income Government grants related to income are government grants other than those related to assets. For government grants that contain both parts related to assets and parts related to income, in which those two parts are blurred, they are thus collectively classified as government grants related to income. For government grants related to income used for compensating the related future cost, expenses or losses, they are recognized as deferred income and included in profit or loss or used to offset relevant cost during the period in which the relevant cost, expenses or losses are recognized; for government grants related to income used for compensating the related cost, expenses or losses incurred to the Company, they are directly included in profit or loss or used to offset relevant cost. 4. Government grants related to the ordinary course of business shall be included into other income or used to offset relevant cost based on business nature, while those not related to the ordinary course of business shall be included into non-operating revenue or expenditures. (XXVIII) Contract assets, contract liabilities The Company presents contract assets or contract liabilities in the balance sheet based on the relationship between its performance obligations and customers’ payments. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract shall offset each other and be presented on a net basis. The Company presents an unconditional right to consideration (i.e., only the passage of time is required before the consideration is due) as a receivable, and presents a right to consideration in exchange for goods that it has transferred to a customer (which is conditional on something other than the passage of time) as a contract asset. The Company presents an obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer as a contract liability. (XXIX) Deferred tax assets/Deferred tax liabilities 1. Deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognized based on the difference between the carrying amount and tax base of assets and liabilities (and the difference of the carrying amount and tax base of items not recognized as assets and liabilities but with their tax base being able to be determined according to tax laws) and in accordance with the tax rate applicable to the period during which the assets are expected to be recovered or the liabilities are expected to be settled. 2. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent of the amount of the taxable income, which is most likely to obtain and which can be deducted from the deductible temporary difference. At the balance sheet date, if there is any exact evidence that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized, the deferred tax assets unrecognized in prior periods are recognized. 3. At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow the benefit of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Such reduction is subsequently reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be available. 4. The income tax and deferred tax for the period are treated as income tax expenses or income through profit or loss, excluding those arising from the following circumstances: (1) business combination; and (2) the transactions or items directly recognized in equity. (XXX) Leases 1. The Company as lessee At the commencement date, the Company recognizes a lease that has a lease term of 12 months or less as a short-term lease, which shall not contain a purchase option; the Company recognizes a lease as a lease of a low-value asset if the underlying asset is of low value when it is new. If the Company subleases an asset, or expects to sublease an asset, the head lease does not qualify as a lease of a low-value asset. For all short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognized as cost or profit or loss with straight-line method over the lease term. 142 Apart from the above-mentioned short-term leases and leases of low-value assets with simplified approach, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the commencement date. (1) Right-of-use assets The right-of-use asset is measured at cost and the cost shall comprise: 1) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities; 2) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; 3) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and 4) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company depreciates the right-of-use asset using the straight-line method. If it is reasonable to be certain that the ownership of the underlying asset can be acquired by the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Company depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. (2) Lease liabilities At the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate shall be used. Unrecognized financing expenses, calculated at the difference between the lease payment and its present value, are recognized as interest expenses over the lease term using the discount rate which has been used to determine the present value of lease payment and included in profit or loss. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are included in profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred. After the commencement date, if there is a change in the following items: (a) actual fixed payments; (b) amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees; (c) an index or a rate used to determine lease payments; (d) assessment result or exercise of purchase option, extension option or termination option, the Company remeasures the lease liability based on the present value of lease payments after changes, and adjusts the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset accordingly. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero but there shall be a further reduction in the lease liability, the remaining amount shall be recognized into profit or loss. 2. The Company as lessor At the commencement date, the Company classifies a lease as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Otherwise, it is classified as an operating lease. (1) Operating lease Lease receipts are recognized as lease income with straight-line method over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred shall be capitalized, amortized on the same basis as the recognition of lease income, and included into profit or loss by installments. Variable lease payments related to operating lease which are not included in the lease payment are charged as profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred. (2) Finance lease At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the finance lease payment receivable based on the net investment in the lease (sum of the present value of unguaranteed residual value and lease receipts that are not received at the commencement date, discounted by the interest rate implicit in the lease), and derecognizes assets held under the finance lease. The Company calculates and recognizes interest income using the interest rate implicit in the lease over the lease term. Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease are charged as profit or loss in the periods in which they are incurred. 3. Sale and leaseback (1) The Company as the lessee In accordance with the “CASBE 14 – Revenues”, the Company would assess and determine whether the transfer of an asset in the sale and leaseback transaction is accounted for as a sale of that asset. If the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of the asset, the Company measures the right-of-use asset arising from the 143 leaseback at the proportion of the original carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the Company. Accordingly, the Company recognizes only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the lessor. Otherwise, the Company continues the recognition of the transferred assets, and recognizes a financial liability equal to the amount of transfer income in accordance with the “CASBE 22 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” at the same time. (2) The Company as the lessor In accordance with the “CASBE 14 – Revenues”, the Company would assess and determine whether the transfer of an asset in the sale and leaseback transaction is accounted for as a sale of that asset. If the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of the asset, the Company accounts for the purchase of assets in accordance with other applicable standards, and accounts for the lease of assets in accordance with the “CASBE 21 – Leases”. Otherwise, the Company does not recognize the transferred asset, but recognizes a financial asset equal to the amount of transfer income in accordance with the “CASBE 22 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. (XXXI) Work safety fund The Company accrues work safety fund in accordance with the “Circular on Management Measures on the Appropriation and Use of Work Safety Fund” (Cai Zi [2022] No. 136) issued by Ministry of Finance (MOF) and Ministry of Emergency Management. Standard work safety fund is included in the cost or profit or loss, meanwhile accounted for under “special reserve”. When work safety fund is used as an expense, it is to offset special reserve directly. When work safety fund is qualified to be included in the cost of fixed assets, it is accounted for under “construction in progress” and transferred to fixed assets when related safety projects reach the designed useful conditions; meanwhile, the cost included in fixed assets is to offset “special reserve”, and accumulated depreciation shall be recognized at the same amount. Such fixed assets shall not be depreciated in future periods. (XXXII) Segment reporting Operating segments are determined based on the structure of the Company’s internal organization, management requirements and internal reporting system. An operating segment is a component of the Company: 1. that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; 2. whose financial performance is regularly reviewed by the Management to make decisions about resource to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance; and 3. for which accounting information regarding financial position, financial performance and cash flows is available through analysis. (XXXIII) Other significant accounting policies and estimates 1. PPP business The Company adopts the build-operate-transfer approach (PPP projects, mainly using BOT, TOT, etc.) to participate in the public infrastructure business. The project company obtains the franchise of public infrastructure projects from government departments and participates in the construction and operation of the project. After the franchise expires, the project company needs to hand over relevant infrastructure to the government or the department designated by the government. For the PPP project contract under which the Company provides multiple services (such as the rendering of construction services of PPP projects as well as post-completion operation services and maintenance services), the Company identifies each performance obligation in the contracts in accordance with the provisions of “CASBE 14 – Revenues”, and allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling prices. If the stand-alone selling price cannot be directly observed, or if there is a lack of similar market prices, the Company will take into account market conditions, specific factors of the Company and information related to customers and other relevant information, and make a reasonable estimate of the stand- alone selling price using methods such as market adjustment method, cost-plus method, residual value method, etc. Construction services are performance obligations satisfied over time. Revenue from construction services is recognized by the percentage of completion of the performance obligations, which is determined based on the proportion of the incurred costs to the estimated total costs. In the circumstance that the percentage of completion cannot be measured reasonably, but the incurred costs are expected to be recovered, the Company recognizes revenue only to the extent of the incurred costs until it can reasonably measure the percentage of 144 completion. The Company has the right to charge users of public goods and services during the operation of the project in accordance with the PPP project contracts. However, if the amount of the fees is uncertain, such right does not constitute an unconditional right to receive cash, and the consideration or construction revenue of the relevant PPP project assets is recognized as intangible assets when the PPP project assets reach the designed useful conditions, which shall be accounted for in accordance with “CASBE 6 – Intangible Assets”. If the Company is qualified to have the right to receive a determinable amount of cash (or other financial assets) during the operation of the project in accordance with the PPP project contracts, such amount is recognized as accounts receivable when the Company has the right to such consideration (the right depends only on the factor of the passage of time) and is accounted for in accordance with “CASBE 22 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. The Company recognizes the difference between the consideration or construction revenue of the relevant PPP project assets and the determinable amount of cash (or other financial assets) as intangible assets when the PPP project assets reach the designed useful conditions. For the portion of the consideration or construction revenue recognized as intangible assets, the contract assets recognized during the relevant construction period are presented under “intangible assets” in the balance sheet; for other contract assets recognized during the construction period, they are presented under “contract assets”, or “other non-current assets” in the balance sheet if they are expected to be realized within twelve months of the balance sheet date. After the PPP project assets reach the designed useful conditions, the Company recognizes revenue related to operating services in accordance with “CASBE 14 – Revenues”. 2. Accounting treatment related to share repurchase When the Company repurchases its shares for the purpose of reducing its registered capital or rewarding its employees, if the purchased shares are to be kept as treasury shares, the treasury shares are recorded at the cash distributed to existing shareholders for repurchase; if the purchased shares are to be retired, the difference between the total book value of shares retired and the cash distributed to existing shareholders for repurchase is to reduce capital reserve, or retained earnings when the capital reserve is not enough to reduce. If the Company repurchases vested equity instruments in equity-settled share-based payment transactions with employees, cost of treasury shares granted to employees and capital reserve (other capital reserve) accumulated within the vesting period are to be written off on the payment made to employees, with a corresponding adjustment in capital reserve (share premium).

Note 2: In December 2018, Zoomlion Environmental Company, which was acquired under business combination under common control by the Company, had two asset groups, i.e., sanitation vehicles and equipment manufacturing and sales asset group and urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group (including waste transfer, landfill and treatment). Data of original goodwill at the formation of Zoomlion Environmental Company was based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets as at the end of June 2017 under asset-based method in the appraisal report numbered Zhong Rui Ping Bao Zi [2017] 110731042, without considering the synergy between the urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group of Zoomlion Environmental Company and the waste incineration power generation operation asset group of former Green Oriental Company. After the business combination of Zoomlion Environmental Company, as its urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group and the waste incineration power generation operation asset group of Green Oriental Company were similar in terms of business acquisition, production and operation activities, and cash return realization methods, and the Management had started to carry out integrated management, these two asset groups were identified as the urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group portfolio. The cost of original goodwill of Zoomlion Environmental Company of 5.714 billion was re-allocated to the sanitation vehicles and equipment manufacturing and sales asset group and urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group portfolio based on the gross profit ratio contributed by the two businesses, in amount of 5.636 billion yuan and 78 million yuan, respectively. Note 3: The Company acquired Lianjiang Company through business combination not under common control. After the 168 business combination of Lianjiang Company, as its asset group and urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group and the waste incineration power generation operation asset group of the Company were similar in terms of business acquisition, production and operation activities, and cash return realization methods, and the Management had carried out integrated management, the asset group of Lianjiang Company was identified as the urban-rural sanitation integrated operation asset group portfolio. 2) Impairment test process, method and conclusion of goodwill impairment loss a. Determination method of recoverable amount The recoverable amount of asset groups and asset group portfolios is estimated based on the business characteristics of different asset groups or asset group portfolios, which is based on the budget approved by the Management. The revenue growth rate of the product production and sales asset group in 2022 is based on the existing orders, historical data and operating budget, while the expense rate is based on the average expense rate of the previous three years, in combination with the reasonable income growth, capital depreciation and labor cost growth in the future; for operation asset groups or asset group portfolios, due to the large difference in income and gross profit margin between the investment period and period of maturity of PPP operating projects, the expected growth rate, stable period growth rate and profit rate of the asset groups and asset group portfolios show an irregular distribution when multiple projects are run in parallel, and the income, costs and expenses are estimated based on the time to mature operation and design capacity of each specific project. The recoverable amount of groups and asset group portfolios is calculated based on the discounted expected future operating cash flows of operating long-term assets excluding non-operating assets and liabilities, initial working capital, surplus assets and interest-bearing liabilities. b.

Risks related to financial instruments In risk management, the Company aims to seek the appropriate balance between the risks and benefits from its use of financial 201 instruments and to mitigate the adverse effects that the risks of financial instruments have on the Company’s financial performance, so as to maximize the profits of shareholders and other equity investors. Based on such risk management objectives, the Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits on a timely and reliable basis. The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments, which mainly include: credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk. The Management has deliberated and approved policies concerning such risks, and details are: (I) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. 1. Credit risk management practice (1) Evaluation method of credit risk At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company takes into account reasonable and supportable information, which is available without undue cost or effort, including qualitative and quantitative analysis based on historical data, external credit risk rating, and forward-looking information. The Company determines the changes in default risk of financial instruments during the estimated lifetime through comparison of the default risk at the balance sheet date and the initial recognition date, on an individual basis or a collective basis. The Company considers the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly when one or more of the following qualitative and quantitative standards are met: 1) Quantitative standard mainly relates to the scenario in which, at the balance sheet date, the probability of default in the remaining lifetime has risen by more than a certain percentage compared with the initial recognition; 2) Qualitative standard mainly relates to significant adverse changes in the debtor’s operation or financial position, present or expected changes in technology, market, economy or legal environment that will have significant adverse impact on the debtor’s repayment ability. (2) Definition of default and credit-impaired assets A financial instrument is defined as defaulted when one or more following events have occurred, of which the standard is consistent with that for credit-impairment: 1) significant financial difficulty of the debtor; 2) a breach of binding clause of contract; 3) it is very likely that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; 4) the creditor of the debtor, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the debtor’s financial difficulty, having granted to the debtor a concession(s) that the creditor would not otherwise consider. 2. Measurement of expected credit losses The key factors in the measurement of expected credit loss include the probability of default, loss given default, and exposure to default risk. The Company develops a model of the probability of default, loss given default, and exposure to default risk on the basis of quantitative analysis of historical data (e.g. counterparty rating, guarantee measures and collateral type, payment method, etc.) and forward-looking information. 3. Please refer to section V (I) 2, 3, 6, 8, 11, and 23 of the notes to the financial statements for details on the reconciliation statement of opening balance and closing balance of provision for losses of financial instrument. 4. Exposure to credit risk and concentration of credit risk The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and bank balances and receivables. In order to control such risks, the Company has taken the following measures: (1) Cash and bank balances The Company deposits its bank balances and other cash and bank balances in financial institutions with relatively high credit levels, hence, its credit risk is relatively low. 202 (2) Receivables The Company performs credit assessment on customers using credit settlement on a regular basis. The Company selects credible and well-reputed customers based on credit assessment result, and conducts ongoing monitoring on balance of receivables, to avoid significant risks in bad debts. As the Company’s credit risks fall into several business partners and customers, as of December 31, 2022, 9.38% (December 31, 2021: 6.62%) of the total accounts receivable was due from the five largest customers of the Company. The Company has no significant central credit risk. The maximum amount of exposure to credit risk of the Company is the carrying amount of each financial asset at the balance sheet. (II) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter deficiency of funds in meeting obligations associated with cash or other financial assets settlement, which is possibly attributable to failure in selling financial assets at fair value on a timely basis, or failure in collecting liabilities from counterparties of contracts, or early redemption of debts, or failure in achieving estimated cash flows.

Market risk mainly includes interest risk and foreign currency risk. 1. Interest risk Interest risk is the risk that an enterprise may encounter fluctuation in fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in market interest. The Company’s fair value interest risks arise from fixed-rate financial instruments, while the cash flow interest risks arise from floating-rate financial instruments. The Company determines the proportion of fixed-rate financial instruments and floating-rate financial instruments based on the market environment, and maintains a proper financial instruments portfolio through regular review and monitoring. The Company’s interest risk in cash flows relates mainly to bank borrowings with floating interest rate. As of December 31, 2022, balance of borrowings with interest accrued at floating interest rate totaled 1,755,696,317.89 yuan (December 31, 2021: 1,287,312,619.35 yuan). If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s gross profit and equity will not be significantly affected. 2. Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk arising from changes in fair value or future cash flows of financial instrument resulted from changes in exchange rate. The Company is mainly operated in mainland China, whose main activities are denominated in RMB, hence, the Company bears insignificant market risk arising from foreign exchange changes.
