Risk of Macroeconomic Fluctuations The global economy has slowed down, and a series of factors are further elevating global economic uncertainties, such as the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine geopolitical conflicts, a super year for global elections, and the evolving landscape of trade bloc regulations. To date, global trade has not exhibited any substantial signs of recovery. Despite a recent easing in inflation rates across major global economies, they have yet to return to expected levels. The high-interest rate policies persistently adopted by the United States, European countries, and others have amplified economic and financial risks. The multifaceted risks and uncertainties outlined above are posing formidable obstacles to enterprises' global operations. Against this backdrop, the Company will continuously analyze macroeconomic trends and assess influential risks. It will also prioritize its core business strategies, foster innovation, enhance its competitive advantages, and maximize commercial value returns. Meanwhile, the Company will firmly implement its global strategy, systematically fortify its global supply chains to mitigate risks, and leverage its industry-specific advantages to mitigate the adverse effects of macroeconomic fluctuations. 2. Risk of Industry Prosperity Fluctuations Despite the rebound in the panel industry in the first half of the year due to increasing demand for larger displays and downstream applications, the industry will continue to grapple with growth challenges due to sluggish global demand. The rapid expansion of production capacity across China’s 29 Full Text of the 2024 Interim Report of TCL Technology Group Corporation photovoltaic industry has led to a notable supply-demand imbalance, making it challenging to restore equilibrium in the near term. The Company will closely monitor shifts in industry supply and demand, optimize capacity allocation, and foster healthy industry development. At the same time, it will enhance its investment in R&D, and continuously expand its advantages in terms of size and effectiveness by creating high barriers to competition and broadening its business moat. 3. Corporate Supply Risks There is a risk of commodity price fluctuations in the second half of 2024, which are affected by the evolving international landscape and ongoing energy transition. Some individual suppliers may have delivery risks due to the overall economic situation and squeezed price of end-products. The Company will develop its long-term partnerships with its suppliers through strategic cooperation and other means, and will enhance risk control for upstream material supply, so as to promptly identify and respond to risks. XII. Implementation of the “Joint Improvement of Quality and Investment Return” Action Plan Whether the Company has disclosed the “Joint Improvement of Quality and Investment Returns” Action Plan Announcement. Applicable □ Not applicable To better implement the guidance on enhancing the quality and investment value of listed companies, the Company has developed the “Joint Improvement of Quality and Investment Returns” Action Plan, which is based on in-depth research on industry trends and careful consideration of our future business trajectory.

(2) Business combinations involving enterprises under common control A combination of enterprises that are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination on a non-temporary basis constitutes a business combination under common control. Assets and liabilities acquired by the Company in business combination are measured at the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the acquired party in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party as at the date of combination (including the goodwill resulting from the acquisition of the acquired party by the ultimate controlling party). The difference between the carrying amount of net assets acquired in the combination and that of the consideration paid for the combination (or the total par value of shares issued) is used to adjust the share capital premium in the capital reserve, and when the share capital premium in the capital reserve is insufficient for offset, it is used to adjust the retained earnings. If there is a contingent consideration and it is necessary to confirm estimated liabilities or assets, the difference between the amounts of the estimated liabilities or assets and the settlement amount of subsequent contingent consideration is used to adjust the capital reserve (capital premium or share capital premium), and when the capital reserve is insufficient, it is used to adjust the retained earnings. For a business combination that is ultimately realized through multiple transactions, if it is a package transaction, each transaction is treated as a transaction that acquires control; if it is not a package transaction, on the date of acquisition of control, the difference between the initial cost of long-term equity investments and the carrying amount of long-term equity investments before the combination plus the carrying amount of the newly paid considerations on the date of combination is used to adjust the capital reserve; and when the capital reserve is insufficient for offset, it is used to adjust the retained earnings. For equity investments held prior to the date of combination, no accounting treatment is carried out for other comprehensive gains recognized by equity accounting or financial instrument confirmation and measurement standards, and up to the disposal of the investment, the accounting treatment shall be based on the same basis as the direct disposal of the assets or liabilities of the invested entity; other changes in the owner’s equity other than net profits or loss, other comprehensive income or profit distribution of net assets of the invested company recognized as equity are not subject to accounting, and will be transferred to the current profit and loss until disposal of the investment. (3) Business combination not under common control A combination of enterprises that are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the combination constitutes a business combination not under common control. 18 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) Accounting treatments for business combinations involving enterprises under and not under 9 common control (continued) (3) Business combination not under common control (continued) Assets paid and liabilities incurred or assumed by the Company as a consideration for the business combination are measured at fair value on the date of purchase, and the difference between the fair value and their carrying amount is recognized in current profits and losses. The difference between the higher combination cost and lower share in the fair value of net identifiable assets of the acquired party gained in the combination is recognized as goodwill. If the combination cost is lower than the share in the fair value of net identifiable assets of the acquired party gained in the combination, the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired party gained and the measurement of the combination cost are first reviewed; and if it is reviewed that the combination cost is lower than the share in the fair value of net identifiable assets of the acquired party gained in the combination, the difference between the lower combination cost and higher share in the fair value of net identifiable assets of the acquired party gained in the combination is included in current profits and losses. In the case where a business combination not under common control is realized through multiple exchanges and transactions, if it is a package transaction, each transaction will be accounted for as a transaction for acquiring control; in the case it is not a package transaction, if the equity investment held before the date of combination is accounted for using equity method, the sum of the carrying amount of equity investments of the acquired party held before the date of acquisition, plus the new investment cost on the date of acquisition will be recognized as the initial cost of the investment; the remaining comprehensive income recognized in equity investments using equity method before the date of acquisition will be recorded, when the investment is disposed of on the same basis as those the investee adopted directly to dispose of the relevant assets or liabilities. If the equity investment held before the date of combination is accounted for by financial instrument recognition and measurement criteria, the sum of the fair value of equity investment on the date of combination plus the new investment cost is taken as the initial investment cost on the date of combination. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the original equity, and the accumulated fair value changes originally included in other comprehensive income should be transferred to return on investment in the current period which matches the combination date. (4) Expenses incurred from combination The agency fees paid for audits, legal services, assessments and consultations and other directly related expenses incurred in the business combination are recognized in profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred. The transaction costs for the issuance of equity securities for the business combination that may be directly attributed to equity transactions can be deducted from equity; 19 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 10 Methods for judging control and preparing consolidated financial statements (1) Criteria for judging control Control means having the power of control over the investee, enjoying variable returns by participating in the relevant activities of the investee, and having the ability to use the power over the investee to influence the amount of returns. The Company judges whether it controls the investee based on comprehensive consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. Once any change in relevant facts and circumstances causes the relevant elements involved in the definition of control to be changed, the Company will conduct a reassessment. The relevant facts and circumstances mainly include: ① The purpose for which the investee is established; ② The relevant activities of the investee and how to make decisions on such activities; ③ Whether the rights enjoyed by the investor enable it to currently lead the relevant activities of the investee; ④ Whether the investor is entitled to variable returns by participating in the relevant activities of the investee; ⑤ Whether the investor has the ability to exercise its power over the investee to affect the amount of return; ⑥ The relationship between the investor and other parties. (2) Consolidation scope The scope of consolidation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control, and all subsidiaries (including separate entities controlled by the Company) are included into the consolidated financial statements. (3) Consolidation procedure The Company prepares the consolidated financial statements based on the financial statements of itself and its subsidiaries and other relevant information. The Company prepares the consolidated financial statements in a manner that the whole group will be treated as an accounting entity to reflect the financial position, operating results, and cash flow of the group as a whole under unifie d accounting policies, in accordance with the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of relevant accounting standards for business enterprises. The accounting policies and accounting periods adopted by all subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements are consistent with those of the Company. If the accounting policies or accounting periods adopted by the subsidiaries are inconsistent with those of the Company, necessary adjustments will be made in accordance with the Company's accounting policies and accounting periods when preparing consolidated financial statements. 20 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 10 Methods for judging control and preparing consolidated financial statements (continued) (3) Consolidation procedure (continued) The impact of intracompany transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, and intracompany transactions between subsidiaries, on the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated income statement, consolidated cash flow statement and consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity is offset in the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Where a transaction is recognized by the Company or its subsidiaries as the transaction subject, which is different from that under the consolidated financial statement of the group, the transaction should be adjusted at the group level. If the current losses shared by the minority shareholders of a subsidiary exceed the share enjoyed by the minority shareholder in the initial owners' equity of the subsidiary, the balance will still be used to offset the equity of minority interests. During the Reporting Period, if a subsidiary or business is added due to the business combination involving enterprises under common control, the opening balances of the consolidated balance sheet are adjusted; the income, expenses and profits of the subsidiary or business as from the beginning of the period of combination to the end of the Reporting Period are included in the consolidated income statement; the cash flows of the subsidiary or business as from the beginning of the period of combination to the end of the Reporting Period are included in the consolidated cash flow statement, and the relevant items of the comparative statements are adjusted as if the reporting entity after the combination had existed since the time point when the ultimate controller began to control. If the Company is able to exercise control over the investee under common control due to additional investment or for other reasons, it shall be deemed that the parties participating in the combination had made adjustments based on their current state when the ultimate controller began to control. For the equity investment held before obtaining the control over the acquired party, relevant gains and losses, other comprehensive income and other changes in net assets recognized between the date of obtaining the original equity or the date when the acquiring party and the acquired party are under common control, whichever later, and the date of combination shall be used to offset the beginning retained earnings or the profits and losses of the comparative statement period. During the Reporting Period, if a subsidiary or business is added due to a business combination involving enterprises under non-common control, the opening balance of the consolidated balance sheet is not adjusted; the income, expenses and profits of the subsidiary or business from the date of acquisition to the end of the Reporting Period are included in the consolidated income statement; the cash flow of the subsidiary or business from the date of acquisition to the end of the Reporting Period is included in the consolidated cash flow statement. If the Company is able to exercise control over the investee not under common control due to additional investment or for other reasons, the Company shall remeasure the equity, of the purchased party held before the purchase date, at its fair value as at the purchase date, and the difference between the fair value and its carrying amount shall be recognized in the return on investment of the current period. If the equity of the purchased party held before the purchase date involves other comprehensive income accounted for under the equity method and other changes in owner’s equity other than net profits and loss, other comprehensive income, and profit distribution, the relevant other comprehensive income and other changes in owner’s equity shall be converted into the return on investment of the current period which matches the purchase date, except for other comprehensive income arising from the investee’s remeasurement of the changes in net liabilities or net assets of defined benefit plans. During the reporting period, if the Company disposes of a subsidiary or business, the income, expenses and profits of the subsidiary or business for the period from the beginning of the period to the disposal date are included in the consolidated income statement; and the cash flow of the subsidiary or business for the period from the beginning of the reporting period to the disposal date is included in the consolidated cash flow statement. 21 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 10 Methods for judging control and preparing consolidated financial statements (continued) (3) Consolidation procedure (continued) When the Company loses control over the invested party due to disposal of part of the equity investment or other reasons, the remaining equity investment after disposal will be re-measured based on its fair value by the Company on the date of loss of control. The difference of the sum of the consideration obtained from the disposal of the equity and the fair value of the remaining equity, less the sum of the share of net assets and goodwill of the original subsidiary that should be enjoyed in accordance with the original share - holding ratio since the date of acquisition or combination, is accounted for the return on investment in the current period of loss of control. Other comprehensive income or net profits and loss related to the original subsidiary's equity investment, other comprehensive income and other changes in owners' equity other than profit distribution, will be converted into current return on investment when control is lost, except for other comprehensive gains arising from the re-measurement of net liabilities of the Benefit Plan made by the invested party or changes in net assets. When the equity investment in a subsidiary is disposed of step by step through multiple transactions until the loss of control, when the terms, conditions and economic influence of the transactions of the equity investment in the subsidiary conform to one or more of the following, it usually indicates that the multiple transaction items shall be accounted for as a transaction package: ① These transactions are made simultaneously or with consideration of influence on each other; ② These transactions can only achieve a complete business outcome when they are accounted for collectively; ③ The occurrence of a transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one of the other transactions; ④ A transaction is uneconomical individually, but is economical when considered collectively with other transactions. If transactions through which the equity investment in a subsidiary is disposed of until the loss of control constitute a transaction package, the Company will account for such transactions as one transaction through which the subsidiary is disposed of with the loss of control over it; provided that the difference between the price for each disposal and the share in the net asset of the subsidiary corresponding to the investment disposed of, before the loss of control, is recognized as other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements and is transferred to the profits and losses of the current period in which the loss of control occurs. When transactions through which the equity investment in a subsidiary is disposed of until the loss of control do not constitute a transaction package, such transactions shall be accounted for i) before the loss of control, in accordance with the relevant policies for partial disposal of an equity investments in a subsidiary without losing control; and ii) upon the loss of control, in accordance with the general accounting method for disposing of a subsidiary. The difference, between the long-term equity investment obtained by the Company through the purchase of minority interests and the share in the net asset of the subsidiary calculated continuously from the purchase date (or combination date) based on the new shareholding percentage, shall be used to adjust i) the share capital premium under the capital reserve in the consolidated balance sheet or ii) the retained earnings, if the share capital premium under the capital reserve is insufficient to offset,. The difference, between the disposal price obtained from the partial disposal of a long-term equity investment in a subsidiary without losing control and the share, corresponding to the long-term equity investment disposed of, in the net asset of the subsidiary calculated continuously from the purchase date or combination date, shall be used to adjust i) the share capital premium under the capital reserve in the consolidated balance sheet or ii), the retained earnings, if the share capital premium under the capital reserve is insufficient to offset. 22 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 11 Classification of joint arrangements and accounting treatment method for joint operations (1) Classification of joint arrangements The Company classifies a joint arrangement as a joint operation or a joint venture according to factors such as the structure and legal form of the joint arrangement, the terms agreed in the joint arrangement, other relevant facts and circumstances. Joint arrangements not reached through independent entities are classified as joint operations; joint arrangements reached through independent entities are usually classified as joint ventures; however, a joint arrangement that is indicated by conclusive evidence of meeting any of the following conditions and meeting the provisions of relevant laws and regulations is classified as a joint operation: ① The legal form of the joint arrangement shows that the parties have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. ② The contractual terms of the joint arrangement stipulates that the parties have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. ③ Other relevant facts and circumstances show that the parties have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. For example, the parties enjoy all the output substantially related to the joint arrangement, and the repayment of the liabilities relating to the arrangement continues relying on the support of the parties. (2) Accounting treatment for joint operation The Company shall recognize the following items in relation to interest in the joint operation, and carry out accounting treatment in accordance with the provisions of relevant accounting standards for business enterprises: 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 operations; ④ Its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operations; and ⑤ Its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. If investing or selling assets (except those that constitute a business), etc., into or to the joint operation, the Company shall only recognize the part of the profit and loss arising from the transaction attributable to other participants in the joint operation, before the assets, etc., are sold to a third party by the joint operation. The Company will recognize in full the asset impairment loss arising if the assets invested or sold are impaired in compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 - Asset Impairment, etc. If purchasing assets (except those that constitute a business), etc., from the joint operation, the Company shall only recognize the part of the profit and loss arising from the transaction attributable to other participants in the joint operation, before the assets, etc., are sold to a third party by the Company. The Company will recognize its share of the asset impairment loss arising if the assets purchased are impaired in compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 - Asset Impairment, etc. The Company does not enjoy joint control over the joint operations. If the Company has rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the joint operation, it shall still be accounted for by the above principles; otherwise, it shall be accounted for by the relevant accounting standards for business enterprises. 23 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 12 Criteria for determining cash and cash equivalents In the preparation of the cash flow statement, the Company recognizes cash holdings and deposits that can be used for payment at any time as cash. The Company recognizes cash that is easily converted into known amount with short holding period (generally due within three months from the date of purchase) and strong liquidity, and investments with low risk of changes in value (including investments in bonds which due within three months, while excluding equity investments), as cash equivalents. 13 Foreign currency business and translation of foreign currency statements (1) Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are translated into base currency at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the exchange differences resulted therefrom, except that the exchange differences arising from special foreign currency loans related to the acquisition and construction of assets eligible for capitalization should be treated in accordance with the principle of capitalization of borrowing costs, are all included in the current profit and loss. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are still translated at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date, and the amount of base currency for bookkeeping is not changed. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated at the spot exchange rates on the date when the fair value is determined, and the exchange differences resulted therefrom are included in current profits and loss as a change in fair value. In the case of foreign currency non-monetary items that are at fair value through other comprehensive income, the exchange differences incurred are included in other comprehensive income. (2) Translation of foreign currency financial statement When the Company translates the financial statements of overseas operations, the assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The owner’s equity items, except for the "Retained earnings" item, are translated at the spot exchange rate at the time of occurrence of the items. All the incurred items in the income statement are translated at the current average exchange rate of the period in which transactions occur. The translation differences of foreign currency financial statement arising from the above translation are included in other comprehensive income. When disposing of an overseas operation, the translation differences in the foreign currency financial statements related to the overseas operation listed in other comprehensive income in the balance sheet are transferred from the other comprehensive income to the profit and loss. When the disposal of a portion of the equity investment or otherwise causes a decrease in the proportion of equity held in the overseas operation without losing of control over the overseas operation, the translation differences in the foreign currency statements related to the part of the overseas operation disposed of will be attributed to minority interests, rather than to the current profits and losses. When the overseas operation disposed of is a portion of the equity of an associate or joint venture, the translation difference of the foreign statements related to the overseas operation should be transferred to the profit or loss for the period in proportion to the disposal of the overseas operation. 24 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 14 Financial instruments When the Company becomes a party to a financial instrument, it recognizes a financial asset or liability. The effective interest method refers to the method of calculating the amortized cost of financial assets or liabilities and allocating interest income or interest expenses into each accounting period. The effective interest rate refers to the interest rate used to discount the estimated future cash flow of a financial asset or financial liability during its expected duration to the book balance of the financial asset or the amortized cost of the financial liability. When determining the effective interest rate, the expected cash flow is estimated on the basis of considering all contract terms of financial assets or liabilities (such as prepayment, extension, call options or other similar options), but the expected credit loss is not considered. The amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the accumulated amortization amount formed by deducting the repaid principal from the initial recognition amount of the financial asset or financial liability, adding or subtracting the difference between the initial recognition amount and the maturity amount by using the effective interest method, and then deducting the accumulated accrued loss reserve (only applicable to financial assets). (1) Classification and measurement of financial assets According to the business model of the financial assets under management and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, the Company divides the financial assets into the following three categories: (a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost. (b) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. (c) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are measured at fair value when initially recognized, but if the accounts or notes receivable arising from the sale of goods or the provision of services do not contain significant financing components or do not consider financing components for no more than one year, the initial measurement shall be made at the transaction price. For financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction expenses are directly recognized in the current profit and loss. For other financial assets, transaction expenses are included in the initial recognition amount. Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification. All related financial assets affected will be reclassified when and only when the Company changes its business model of managing financial assets. (a) Financial assets classified as those measured at amortized cost The contract terms of a financial asset stipulate that the cash flow generated on a specific date is only the payment of the principal and the interest on the amount of outstanding principal, and the business model for managing the financial asset is to collect the contractual cash flow, then the Company classifies the financial asset as measured at amortized cost. Financial assets of the Company that are classified as those measured at amortized cost include monetary assets, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, long-term receivables, debt investments, etc. 25 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 14 Financial instruments (continued) (1) Classification and measurement of financial assets (continued) (a) Financial assets classified as those measured at amortized cost (continued) The Company recognizes interest income from such financial assets with the effective interest method, and carries out subsequent measurement at amortized cost. Gains or losses arising from impairment or derecognition or modification are included in current profits and losses. The Company calculates and determines the interest income based on the book balance of financial assets multiplied by the effective interest rate except for the following circumstances: ① For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Company calculates and determines their interest income at the amortized cost of the financial assets and the credit-adjusted effective interest rate since the initial recognition. ② For financial assets not credit-impaired at the time of being purchased or originated but in the subsequent period, the Company calculates and determines their interest income at the amortized cost and the effective interest rate of the financial assets in the subsequent period. If the financial instrument is no longer credit-impaired due to the improvement of its credit risk in the subsequent period, the Company calculates and determines the interest income by multiplying the effective interest rate by the book balance of the financial asset. (b) Financial assets classified as those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income The contract terms of a financial asset stipulate that the cash flow generated on a specific date is only the payment of the principal and the interest on the amount of outstanding principal, and the business model for managing the financial assets is both to collect contractual cash flow and for its sale, then the Company classifies the financial assets as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company recognizes interest income from such financial assets with the effective interest method. Except that the interest income, impairment loss and exchange difference are recognized as the current profit and loss, other changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognized, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in current profits and losses. Notes and accounts receivable measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are reported as receivables financing, and such other financial assets are reported as other debt investments. Among them, other debt investments maturing within one year from the balance sheet date are reported as the current portion of non-current assets, and other debt investments maturing within one year are reported as other current assets. 26 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 14 Financial instruments (continued) (1) Classification and measurement of financial assets (continued) (c) Financial assets designated as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income At the time of initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate non-trading equity instrument investments as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income on the basis of individual financial assets. Changes in the fair value of such financial assets are included in other comprehensive income without allowance for impairment. When the financial asset is derecognized, the accumulated gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income are transferred out and included in the retained earnings. During the investment period when the Company holds the equity instrument, the dividend income is recognized and included in the current profit and loss when the Company's right to receive dividends has been established, the economic benefits related to dividends are likely to flow into the Company, and the amount of dividends can be measured reliably. The Company reports such financial assets under the item of investments in other equity instruments. An investment in equity instruments is a financial asset measured at fair value through current profits and losses when it is obtained mainly for recent sale, or is part of the identifiable portfolio of financial assets centrally managed when initially recognized and objective evidence exists for a short-term profit model in the near future, or is a derivative (except for derivatives defined as financial guarantee contracts and designated as effective hedging instruments). (d) Financial assets classified as those measured at fair value through profit or loss If failing to be classified as those measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, or not designated as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets are all classified as those measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Company carries out subsequent measurement of such financial assets at fair value, and includes gains or losses arising from changes in fair value as well as dividends and interest income associated with such financial assets into current profits and losses. The Company reports such financial assets as held-for-trading financial assets and other non-current financial assets according to their liquidity. 27 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 14 Financial instruments (continued) (1) Classification and measurement of financial assets (continued) (e) Financial assets designated as measured at fair value through current profits and losses At the time of initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate financial assets as measured at fair value through current profits and losses on the basis of individual financial assets in order to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatches. If the mixed contract contains one or more embedded derivative instruments and its main contract is not any financial asset as above, the Company may designate the whole of the mixed contract as a financial instrument measured at fair value through current profits and losses. Except under the following circumstances: ① Embedded derivatives do not significantly change the cash flow of mixed contracts. ② When determining initially whether similar mixed contracts need to be split, it is substantially clear that embedded derivatives contained in them should not be split without analysis. If the prepayment right embedded in a loan allows the holder to prepay the loan at an amount close to the amortized cost, the prepayment right does not need to be split. The Company carries out subsequent measurement of such financial assets at fair value, and includes gains or losses arising from changes in fair value as well as dividends and interest income associated with such financial assets into current profits and losses. The Company reports such financial assets as held-for-trading financial assets and other non-current financial assets according to their liquidity. 28 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 14 Financial instruments (continued) (2) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities The Company classifies a financial instrument or its components into financial liabilities or equity instruments upon initial recognition according to the contract terms of and the economic substance reflected by the financial instrument issued, rather than only in legal form, in combination with the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments. Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition as measured at fair value through profit or loss, or other financial liabilities, or derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial liabilities are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. For financial liabilit ies measured at fair value through current profits and losses, relevant transaction expenses are directly included in current profits and losses; for other categories of financial liabilities, relevant transaction expenses are included in the initial recognition amount. Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification: (a) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through current profits and losses Such financial liabilities include held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives falling under financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as measured at fair value upon initial recognition and through current profits and losses. A financial liability is a held-for-trading financial liability if it is mainly undertaken for recent sale or repurchase, or is part of the identifiable portfolio of financial instruments centrally managed, and there is objective evidence that the enterprise has recently employed a short-term profit model, or is a derivative instrument, except derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments and derivatives conforming to financial guarantee contracts. Held-for-trading financial liabilit ies (including derivatives falling under financial liabilities) are subsequently measured at fair value. All changes in fair values except for hedging accounting are included in current profits and losses. The Company irrevocably designates financial liabilities as measured at fair value through current profits and losses at the time of initial recognition in order to provide more relevant accounting information, provided: ① Such financial liabilities can eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatches. ② The financial liability portfolio or the portfolio of financial assets and liabilities is managed and evaluated for performance on the basis of fair value according to the enterprise risk management or investment strategy stated in the official written documents, and is reported to key management personnel within the enterprise on this basis. The Company subsequently measures such financial liabilities at fair value. Apart from changes in fair value that are brought about by changes in the Company’s own credit risk and included in other comprehensive income, other changes in fair value are included in current profits and losses. Unless including such changes in other comprehensive income will cause or expand accounting mismatch in profit or loss, the Company will include all changes in fair value (including the amount affected by changes in its own credit risk) in current profits and losses. 29 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 14 Financial instruments (continued) (2) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities (continued) (b) Other financial liabilities The Company classifies financial liabilities except for the following items as measured at amortized cost. Such financial liabilities are recognized by the effective interest method and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Gains or losses arising from derecognition or amortization are included in current profits and losses: ① Financial liabilities measured at fair value through current profits and losses. ② Financial liabilities resulting from the transfer of financial assets that do not meet the conditions for derecognition or continue to be involved in the transferred financial assets. ③ Financial guarantee contracts that do not fall under the first two categories hereof, and loan commitments that do not fall under category (1) hereof and lend at a below-market interest rate. Financial guarantee contracts refer to contracts that require the issuer to pay a specific amount to the contract holder who has suffered losses when a specific debtor fails to pay the debt in accordance with the original or modified terms of the debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts that are not financial liabilities designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured after initial recognition according to the loss reserve amount and of the initial recognition amount, less the accumulated amortization amount during the guarantee period, whichever is higher. (3) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities Financial asset are derecognized, i.e. written off from its account and balance sheet if any of the following (a) conditions is met: ① The contractual right to receive cash flow from the financial asset is terminated; or ② The financial asset has been transferred, which meets the requirements for derecognition of financial assets. (b) Conditions for derecognition of financial liabilities If the current obligation of a financial liability (or part thereof) has been discharged, such financial liability (or part thereof) is derecognized. The existing financial liability is derecognized with a new one recognized, and the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or assumed liabilities) is included in current profits and losses, if an agreement is signed between the Company and the lender to replace the existing financial liability by assuming a new one, and the contract terms of these two financial liabilities are substantially different, or the contract terms of the existing financial liability (or part thereof) are substantially modified. If the Company repurchases part of a financial liability, the carrying amount of the financial liability shall be distributed according to the proportion of the fair value of the continuing recognition portion and the derecognition portion to the overall fair value on the repurchase date. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the derecognized portion and the consideration paid (including transferred non-cash assets or liabilities assumed) shall be included in current profits and losses. 30 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 14 Financial instruments (continued) (4) Recognition basis and measurement method of financial asset transfer When a financial asset is transferred, the Company evaluates the risks and rewards retained of the financial asset ownership: (a) If almost all the risks and rewards of the financial asset ownership are transferred, such financial asset shall be derecognized, and the rights and obligations generated or retained in the transfer shall be separately recognized as assets or liabilities. If risks and rewards of the financial asset ownership are substantially retained, such financial asset shall (b) continue to be recognized. (c) In circumstances where the Company neither transfers nor retains risks and rewards of the financial asset ownership substantially (i.e. circumstances other than ① and ② of this article), based on whether it retains control over such financial asset, ① the financial asset shall be derecognized, and the rights and obligations generated or retained in the transfer shall be separately recognized as assets or liabilities if such control is not retained; or ② the relevant financial asset shall continue to be recognized to the extent that it continues to be involved in the transferred financial asset, and the relevant liabilities shall be recognized accordingly if such control is retained. The extent that it continues to be involved in the transferred financial asset refers to the extent the Company bears the risks or rewards on changes in the value of the transferred financial asset. When judging whether the transfer of financial assets meets the above conditions for derecognition of financial assets, the principle of substance over form shall be adopted. The Company divides the transfer of financial assets into overall transfer and partial transfer. If the overall transfer of financial assets meets the conditions for derecognition, the difference between the (a) following two amounts shall be included in the current profits and losses: ① The carrying amount of the transferred financial asset on the date of derecognition. ② The sum of the consideration received for the transfer of financial assets and the amount of the respective derecognized portion of the accumulated changes in fair value originally included in other comprehensive income directly (the financial assets involved in the transfer are financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income). (b) If the financial asset is partially transferred and the transferred part meets the conditions for derecognition, the carrying amount of the financial asset before transfer shall be allocated between the derecognition portion and the continuing recognition portion (in this case, the retained service asset shall be regarded as the continuing recognition part of the financial asset) according to the respective relative fair values on the transfer date, and the difference between the following two amounts shall be included in the current profits and losses: ① The carrying amount of the derecognized portion on the derecognition date. ② The sum of the consideration received for the derecognized portion and the amount of the corresponding derecognized portion of the accumulated changes in fair value originally included in other comprehensive income (the financial assets involved in the transfer are financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income). 31 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 14 Financial instruments (continued) (4) Recognition basis and measurement method of financial asset transfer (continued) If the transfer of a financial asset does not meet the conditions for derecognition, the financial asset shall continue to be recognized and the consideration received shall be recognized as a financial liability. (5) Determination of fair value of financial assets and liabilities The fair value of a financial asset or liability with an active market shall be determined by the quoted price in the active market, unless the financial asset has a sell-off period for the asset itself. For the financial assets restricted for the assets themselves, the compensation amount demanded by market participants due to the risk of not being able to sell the financial assets on the open market within the specified period shall be deducted from the quoted price in the active market. Quoted prices in the active market includes those for related assets or liabilities that can be easily and regularly obtained from exchanges, dealers, brokers, industry groups, pricing or regulatory agencies, and can represent actual and recurring market transactions on the basis of fair trade. Financial assets initially acquired or derived or financial liabilities assumed shall be determined on the basis of market transaction price. The fair value of financial assets or liabilities without an active market shall be determined by valuation techniques. At the time of valuation, the Company adopts valuation techniques that are applicable under the current circumstances and are supported by sufficient available data and other information, selects input values consistent with the characteristics of relevant assets or liabilit ies considered by market participants in the transactions thereof, and gives priority to the use of relevant observable input values whenever possible. If the relevant observable input value cannot be obtained or be feasibly obtained, the unobservable input value shall be used. Based on the expected credit loss, the Company conducts impairment accounting of financial assets classified as those measured at amortized cost, financial assets classified as those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial guarantee contracts and recognizes loss reserves. 32 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 14 Financial instruments (continued) (6) Impairment of financial instruments Expected credit loss refers to the weighted average of the credit losses of financial instruments weighted by the risk of default. Credit loss refers to the difference between all contractual cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate and receivable according to the contract and all cash flows expected to be collected of the Company, i.e. the present value of all cash shortfalls. Among them, credit-impaired purchased or originated financial assets of the Company shall be discounted at the credit-adjusted effective interest rate of such financial assets. For receivables arising from transactions regulated by the income criteria, the Company uses the simplified measurement method to measure the loss reserve according to the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss during the entire duration. For credit-impaired purchased or originated financial assets, only the accumulated changes in the expected credit losses during the entire duration since the initial recognition are recognized as loss reserves on the balance sheet date. On each balance sheet date, the amount of change in the expected credit loss during the entire duration is included in the current gains and losses as impairment losses or gains. Even if the expected credit loss during the entire duration on the balance sheet date is less than that reflected in the estimated cash flow upon initial recognition, the favorable change in the expected credit loss is recognized as impairment gains. In addition to other financial assets adopting the above simplified measurement method and other than the credit-impaired purchased or originated ones, the Company evaluates whether the credit risk of relevant financial instruments has increased significantly since the initial recognition, measures its loss reserves and recognizes the expected credit loss and its changes respectively according to the following circumstances on each balance sheet date: (a) If the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, it is in the first stage, and its loss reserve shall be measured according to an amount equivalent to its expected credit loss over the next 12 months, and the interest income shall be calculated according to the book balance and the effective interest rate. (b) If the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition but no credit impairment has occurred, it is in the second stage, and its loss reserve shall be measured according to an amount equivalent to its expected credit loss throughout its life, and the interest income shall be calculated according to the book balance and the effective interest rate. (c) If the financial instrument is credit-impaired since its initial recognition, it is in the third stage, and the Company shall measure its loss reserve according to an amount equivalent to its expected credit loss throughout its life, and calculate the interest income at the amortized cost and the effective interest rate. The increase or reversed amount of the credit loss reserve for financial instruments shall be included in the current profits and losses as impairment losses or gains. Except for financial assets classified as those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the credit loss reserve will offset the carrying amount of the financial assets. For financial assets classified as those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Company recognizes its credit loss reserve in other comprehensive income without reducing its carrying amount presented in the balance sheet. 33 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 14 Financial instruments (continued) (6) Impairment of financial instruments (continued) In the previous accounting period, the Company has measured the loss reserve, the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss of the financial instruments throughout its life. However, on the balance sheet date of the current period, the financial instrument no longer conforms to the situation of significant increase in credit risk since initial confirmation; on the balance sheet date of the current period, the Company has measured the loss reserve of the financial instruments, the amount equivalent to the expected credit loss in the next 12 months, and the reversed amount of the loss reserve thus formed is included in current profits and losses as impairment profit. (a) Significant increase in credit risk In order to determine whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since the initial recognition, the Company uses the available reasonable and based forward-looking information and compares the risk of default of financial instruments on the balance sheet date with the risk of default on the initial confirmation date. When the Company applies provisions on depreciation of financial instruments to financial guarantee contracts, the initial recognition date shall be regarded as the date when the Company becomes a party to make irrevocable commitments. For the assessment of whether the credit risk has increased significantly, the Company will consider the following factors: ① According to whether the actual or expected debtor's operations results have changed significantly; ② Whether the regulatory, economic or technological environment of the debtor has undergone significant adverse changes; ③ Whether the following items have changed significantly: the value of collateral as debt mortgage, or the guarantee provided by a third party, or the quality of credit enhancement; these changes will reduce the debtor’s economic motivation to repay the loan within the time limit stipulated in the contract and could impact the probability of default; ④ Whether the debtor's expected performance and repayment behavior have changed significantly; ⑤ Whether the Company's credit management methods for financial instruments have changed, etc. If, on the balance sheet date, the credit risk of the financial instrument is judged to be low by the Company, the Company assumes that the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since the initial recognition. The financial instrument will be deemed to have lower credit risk under the following circumstances: the default risk of the financial instrument is lower; the borrower has a strong capacity to fulfill its contractual cash flow obligations in a short time; furthermore, even if there are adverse changes in the economic situation and operating environment for a long period of time, it may not necessarily reduce the borrower’s ability to fulfill its contractual cash flow obligations. 34 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 14 Financial instruments (continued) (6) Impairment of financial instruments (continued) (b) Financial assets with depreciation of credit If one or more events have adverse effects on the expected future cash flow of a financial asset, the financial asset will become a financial asset that has suffered credit impairment. The following observable information can be regarded as evidence of credit impairment of financial assets: ① The issuer or debtor is in serious financial difficulty; ② The debtor breaches the contract, such as default or overdue payment of interest or principal, etc.; ③ The creditor gives concessions to the debtor due to economic or contractual considerations related to the debtor's financial difficulties; the concessions will not be made under any other circumstances; ④ There is a great possibility of bankruptcy or other financial restructuring of the debtor; ⑤ The issuer or debtor has financial difficulties, resulting in the disappearance of the active market for the financial assets; ⑥ Purchasing or generation of a financial asset with a large discount, which reflects the fact of credit loss. Credit impairment of financial assets may not be caused by separately identifiable events, but may be caused by the combined effect of multiple events. (c) Determination of expected credit loss The expected credit losses of financial instruments is assessed individually and collectively. During the assessment of the expected credit losses, the Company will take into account reasonable and reliable information about past events, the current situation and future economic situation forecast. The Company divides financial instruments into different combinations on the basis of common credit risk characteristics. Common credit risk characteristics adopted by the Company include: financial instrument type, credit risk rating, aging combination, overdue aging combination, contract settlement cycle, debtor's industry, etc. To understand the individual evaluation criteria and combined credit risk characteristics of relevant financial instruments, please refer to the accounting policies of relevant financial instruments for details. The Company adopts the following methods to determine the expected credit losses of relevant financial instruments: ① In terms of financial assets, credit loss is equivalent to the present value of the difference between the contract cash flow that the Company shall receive and the expected cash flow. ② In terms of the financial guarantee contract, credit loss is equal to the expected amount of payment made by the Company to the holder of the contract for credit loss incurred, less the present value of the difference between the amount expected to be collected from the holder of the contract, the debtor or any other party. ③ If, on the balance sheet date, a financial asset has suffered credit impairment, but one does not purchase or generate a financial asset that has suffered credit impairment, the credit loss is equivalent to the difference between the book balance of the financial asset and the present value of the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original actual interest rate. Factors reflected in the Company's method of predicting credit losses by quantitative finance tools include: unbiased probability weighted average amount determined by evaluating a series of possible results; time value of money; reasonable and reliable information about past events, current situation and future economic situation forecast that can be obtained on the balance sheet date without unnecessary extra costs or efforts. 35 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 14 Financial instruments (continued) (6) Impairment of financial instruments (continued) (d) Write-off of financial assets If the Company cannot reasonably expect the contract cash flow of the financial asset to be fully or partially recovered, the book balance of the financial asset will be written off directly. This write - off constitutes the derecognition of relevant financial assets. (7) Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities In the balance sheet, financial assets and financial liabilities are shown separately without offsetting each other. However, if the following conditions are met at the same time, the net amount after offset will be listed in the balance sheet: (a) The Company has the legal right, which is currently enforceable, to offset the confirmed amount; The Company plans to settle on a net basis, or realize the financial assets and settle the financial (b) liabilities at the same time. 15 Notes receivable For the determination method and accounting treatment method of the Company's expected credit loss on notes receivable, please refer to 14(6) of note III Impairment of financial instruments. If sufficient evidence of expected credit loss cannot be evaluated at a reasonable cost at the level of a single instrument, the Company will refer to the experience of historical credit loss, combine the current situation and judgment on future economic situation, divide notes receivable into several combinations according to the characteristics of credit risk, and calculate expected credit loss on the basis of combinations. 16 Accounts receivable For the determination method and accounting treatment method of the Company's expected credit loss on accounts receivable, please refer to 14(6) of note III Impairment of financial instruments. As for the accounts receivable, if there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover the money according to the original terms of the accounts receivable, the Company will separately determine its credit loss. If sufficient evidence of expected credit loss cannot be assessed at reasonable cost at the level of single instrument, the Company will divide the accounts receivable into several combinations according to the credit risk characteristics, and calculate the expected credit loss on the basis of the combinations (with reference to the experience of historical credit loss, and in combination with the current situation with the judgment of future economic situation) 36 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 17 Receivables financing Accounts receivable classified as those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, with a maturity of i) less than one year (including one year) from the initial recognition date, are listed as receivables financing; or ii) more than one year from the initial recognition date, are listed as other debt investments. For the relevant accounting policies, please refer to 14(6) of note III Impairment of financial instruments. 18 Other receivables For the determination method and accounting treatment method of the Company's expected credit loss of other receivables, please refer to 14(6) of note III Impairment of financial instruments. For other receivables for which there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover the amount according to the original terms of the receivables, the Company will separately determine its credit loss. If sufficient evidence of expected credit loss cannot be evaluated at a reasonable cost at the level of single instrument, the Company will refer to the experience of historical credit loss, combine the current situation and judgment on future economic situation, divide other receivables into several combinations according to the characteristics of credit risk, and calculate expected credit loss on the basis of combinations. 19 Inventories (1) Classification of inventories Inventories refer to, among other things, finished products or goods held by the Company for sale in its daily activities, work in progress in production, materials and supplies consumed in the production or provision of labor services. Inventories mainly include but are not limited to raw materials, work in progress, finished products, and turnover materials. (2) Valuation method for inventories shipped in transit When acquired, inventory is initially measured at cost, including purchase costs, processing costs, and other costs. Inventories are shipped in transit by weighted average method. 37 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 19 Inventories (continued) Basis for determining the net realizable value of inventories and accrual method for inventory (3) valuation allowance After conducting a comprehensive counting at the end of the period, inventory valuation allowance shall be accrued or adjusted based on whichever lower of the cost and net realizable value of the inventory. For inventories of goods directly used for sale, such as finished goods, merchandise inventories and materials for sale, in the normal production and operations process, the net realizable value is determined by the amount of the estimated Sales expenses of the inventory less the estimated sales cost and relevant taxes and fees; for material inventories that need to be processed, in the normal production and operations process, the net realizable value is determined by the amount of the estimated selling expenses of finished products produced less the estimated cost occurred at the time of completion, the estimated selling expenses and related taxes; for inventories held for the execution of sales contracts or labor contracts, the net realizable value is calculated on the basis of the contract price, and if the quantity of inventories held is more than the quantity specified in sales contracts, the net realizable value of excess inventories is calculated based on the general sales price. At the end of the period, inventory valuation allowance is accrued according to individual inventory items; but for a large number of inventories with lower unit prices, inventory valuation allowance is accrued according to inventory category; for inventories related to the product series produced and sold in the same region with the same or similar end use or purpose, which is difficult to measure separately from other items, thus inventory valuation allowance is accrued and combined with other items. If the influencing factors of the write-down of inventory value have disappeared, the amount written- down is recovered and reversed to the amount of inventory valuation allowance already accrued, and the amount reversed is included in current profits and losses. (4) Inventory system The Company adopts a perpetual inventory system for inventory management. (5) Amortization method of turnover materials The Company's turnover materials are amortized by the one-time amortization method. 20 Contract assets A contract asset shall be recognized if the Company has transferred the goods to the customer and has the right to receive a consideration depending on other factors than the passage of time. The right of the Company to unconditionally receive the considerations from customers (i.e., only depending on the passage of time) is listed independently as receivables. For the determination method and accounting treatment method of the Company’s expected credit loss on contract assets, please refer to 14(6) of note III Impairment of financial instruments. 38 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 21 Held-for-sale non-current assets or disposal groups (1) Criteria for classification as being held for sale The Company recognizes non-current assets or disposal groups that meet both of the followin g conditions as components held for sale: ① they can be sold immediately under the current status according to the practice of selling such assets or disposal groups in similar transactions; ② The sale is likely to occur, that is, the Company has made a resolution on the sale plan, obtained the approval from the regulatory authorities (if applicable), and obtained a confirmed purchase commitment that the sale is expected to be completed in one year. The confirmed purchase commitment refers to a legally binding purchase agreement concluded by and between the Company and another party, which contains important terms such as transaction price, time and sufficiently severe penalty for breach of contract, so that there will be little possibility of major adjustments to or cancellation of the agreement. (2) Accounting treatment for held-for-sale assets The Company shall not depreciate or amortize non-current assets or disposal groups held for sale. If the carrying amount is higher than the amount of fair value net of selling expenses, the former shall be written down to the latter. The amount written down shall be recognized as asset impairment loss and included in the current profit and loss, and the impairment allowance for assets held for sale shall be accrued at the same time. The non-current asset or disposal group classified as being held for sale on the date of acquisition shall be initially measured at whichever initially measured amount is lower under the assumption that it is not classified as being held for sale and the amount of fair value net of selling expenses. The above principles are applicable to all non-current assets, except investment real estate subsequently measured by the fair value model, biological assets measured by the amount of fair value net of selling expenses, assets formed by employee compensation, deferred income tax assets, financial assets regulated by the relevant accounting standards of financial instruments, and rights arising from insurance contracts regulated by the relevant accounting standards of insurance contracts. 22 Debt Investments For the determination method and accounting treatment methods of the Company’s expected credit loss of debt investments, please refer to 14(6) "Impairment of financial instruments" under Note III. 23 Long-term receivables For the determination method and accounting treatment method of the Company's expected credit loss on long-term receivables, please refer to 14(6) of note III Impairment of financial instruments. If sufficient evidence of expected credit loss cannot be evaluated at a reasonable cost at the level of single instrument, the Company will refer to the experience of historical credit loss, combine the current situation and judgment on future economic situations, divide long receivables into several combinations according to the characteristics of credit risk, and calculate expected credit loss on the basis of combinations. 39 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 24 Long-term equity investments (1) Recognition of initial investment cost (a) Long-term equity investment formed by business combination For details on accounting policies, please refer to Note (III), 9 accounting treatments for business combinations involving enterprises under and not under common control. (b) Long-term equity investment acquired by other means For long-term equity investment acquired by cash payment, the actual acquisition price is recognized as initial investment cost. The initial investment cost includes expenses, taxes and other necessary expenses directly related to the acquisition of the long-term equity investment. For long-term equity investment acquired by issuing equity securities, the fair value of equity securities issued is recognized as initial investment cost; the transaction costs arising from issuing or acquiring the own equity instruments of the acquirer will be offset from the equity in directly attributable transactions. Provided that the non-monetary asset exchange contains commercial substance and the fair value of the assets received or assets surrendered can be reliably measured, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment received with non-monetary assets is determined based on the fair value of the assets surrendered, except that there is conclusive evidence that indicates that the fair value of assets received is more reliable. For non-monetary assets that do not satisfy the above condition, the carrying amount of assets surrendered and related taxes and fees payable are recognized as the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment. The initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment acquired by debt restructuring is determined on the basis of fair value. 40 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 24 Long-term equity investments (continued) (2) Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit and loss (a) Cost method The long-term equity investment by which the Company exercises control over the investee is accounted for by the cost method and measured at the initial investment cost. When the long-term equity investment is added or recovered, its cost should be adjusted thereby. In addition to the actual payment or the cash dividends or profits included in the consideration that have been declared but not yet paid when acquiring the investment, the Company recognizes the investment income for the period the investee's cash dividends or profits attributable to the Company will be recorded in gains from investment for the period. (b) Equity method The long-term equity investments made by the Company in affiliates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Among them, the portion of equity investments in affiliates, held indirectly through venture capital, mutual funds, trusts, or similar entities, including investment-linked insurance funds, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The difference between the higher initial cost of the long-term equity investment and the fair value share of identifiable net assets of the investee enjoyed in the investment is not used to adjust the initial investment cost of the long-term investment; the difference between the lower initial investment cost and the higher fair value share of identifiable net assets of the investee enjoyed at the time of conducting the investment is included in current profits and losses. After the Company acquires a long-term equity investment, the investment income and other comprehensive income should be recognized respectively based on the Company's share in the net profits and loss and other comprehensive income realized by the investee, and the carrying amount of the long- term equity investment should be adjusted accordingly; the Company's share in the profits or cash dividends declared by the investee should be calculated, and the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment should be reduced accordingly; the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment should be adjusted based on changes in owners' equity of the investee other than net profits and loss, other comprehensive income, and profit distribution, and included in owners' equity. Before the Company recognizes its share in the net profits and loss of the investee, the net profits of the investee is adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable assets of the investee as at the acquisition of the investment. Any unrealized profit and loss from internal transactions between the Company and its affiliates or joint ventures attributed to the Company based on the Company's, will be offset, and the investment profit and loss is recognized thereon. When the Company recognizes its share in the losses incurred by the investee, the Company should, firstly, offset the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment. Then, if the carrying amount of the long- term equity investment is insufficient for the offset, the investment loss is continued to be recognized, and the carrying amount of long-term receivable items is offset, subject to other carrying amount of the long- term equity constitutes the net investment in the investee. Finally, after the above-mentioned treatment, if the Company still bears additional obligations in accordance with the investment contract or agreement, the provision are recognized according to the estimated obligations and included in the current investment losses. If the investee realizes profit in the future period, the Company shall, after deducting the unconfirmed loss share, conduct the process in the reverse order of the above to write down the book balance of the recognized liabilities and recover other long-term equity that substantially constitutes net investment of the investee and the carrying amount of the long-term equity, and then recover the recognition of the profit as return on investment. 41 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 24 Long-term equity investments (continued) (3) Conversion accounting treatment of long-term equity investments (a) Accounting treatment for the transfer from fair value measurement to equity method For an equity investment, originally held by the Company without control, joint control or significant impact on the investee that is accounted for based on the financial instrument recognition and measurement standards, if as a result of additional investment or otherwise, the equity investment enables the Company to exercise significant impact on or joint control (rather than control) over the investee, the sum of the fair value of the originally held equity investment determined under the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments and the new investment cost should be deemed as the initial cost of the investment accounted for using equity method. The difference between the lower initial investment cost accounted for using equity method and the higher share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee as at the date of the additional investment calculated based on the new shareholding percentage after the additional investment is made, shall be used to adjust the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment and included in the non-operating income for the period. (b) Transfer from fair value measurement or equity method to cost method For an equity investment, originally held by the Company without control, joint control or significant impact on the investee that is accounted for based on the financial instrument recognition and measurement standards, or a long-term equity investment originally held by the Company in an affiliate or joint venture, if as a result additional investment or for other reasons, the investment enables the Company to exercise control over an investee that is not under the common control with Company, the sum of the carrying amount of the originally held equity investment and the new investment cost should be should be the initial cost of the investment accounted for using cost method in preparation of the individual financial statements of the Company. The remaining comprehensive income recognized in the equity investments using equity method before the date of acquisition is accounted for, when the investment is disposed of, on the same basis as those the investee adopted directly to dispose of the underlying assets or liabilities. If the equity investment held before the acquisition date is subject to the accounting treatment under the relevant provisions of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, the cumulative changes in fair value originally included in other comprehensive income should be transferred to the profit or loss for the period when the investment is accounted for using cost method. (c) Transfer from equity method to fair value measurement If the Company loses joint control or significant impact on the investee due to the disposal of part of the equity investment or otherwise, the equity remaining after the disposal should be accounted for under the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, and the difference between the fair value and carrying amount as at the date of losing the joint control or significant impact should be included in current profits and losses. Other comprehensive income recognized for the original equity investment accounted for using equity method should be accounted for on the same basis as the direct disposal of the underlying assets or liabilities by the investee when the equity method is terminated. (d) Transfer from cost method to equity method Where the Company loses control over the investee due to the disposal of part of the equity investment or otherwise, if the equity remaining after the disposal by which the Company can exercise joint control or significant impact on the investee in preparation of the individual financial statements of the Company, the investment will be accounted for using equity method, and such remaining equity will be adjusted as if it were accounted for using equity method from the time when it is acquired. 42 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 24 Long-term equity investments (continued) (3) Conversion accounting treatment of long-term equity investments (continued) (e) Transfer from cost method to fair value measurement If the Company loses control over the investee due to the disposal of part of the equity investment or otherwise, the equity remaining after the disposal by which the Company cannot exercise joint control or significant impact on the investee should be accounted for based on the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, in preparation of the individual financial statements of the Company, and the difference between the fair value and carrying amount as at the date of losing the control should be included in current profits and losses. (4) Disposal of long-term equity investments When a long-term equity investment is disposed of, the difference between the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment and the actual acquisition price shall be included in current profits and losses. For a long-term equity investment accounted for using equity method, when the investment is disposed of, the part originally included in other comprehensive income should be accounted for in the corresponding proportion and on the same basis as the direct disposal of the underlying assets or liabilities by the investee. When the terms, conditions and economic influence of transactions of the equity investment of the subsidiary conform to one or more of the following, accounting for multiple transactions is treated as a package transaction: (a) These transactions are made simultaneously or with consideration of influence on each other; (b) These transactions can only achieve a complete business outcome when they are accounted for collectively; (c) The occurrence of a transaction depends on the occurrence of at least one of the other transactions; (d) A transaction is uneconomical individually, but is economical when considered collectively with other transactions. When an enterprise loses control over the original subsidiary due to disposal of part of the equity investment or other reasons, if the transactions do not belong to a package transaction, the accounting treatment of individual financial statements and consolidated financial statements should be distinguished as follows: (a) In the individual financial statements, the disposed equity should be accounted for in accordance with the "Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 2 - Long-term Equity Investment"; meanwhile, the remaining equity should be recognized as long-term equity or other related financial assets based on its carrying amount. If the remaining equity after disposal can be used to exercise common control or significant influence on the original subsidiary, it shall be accounted for in accordance with the relevant provisions on the conversion of the cost method into the equity method. 43 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 24 Long-term equity investments (continued) (4) Disposal of long-term equity investments (continued) (b) In the consolidated financial statements, the remaining equity should be re-measured in accordance with its fair value on the date of loss of control. The difference between the sum of the consideration acquired from the disposal of the equity and the fair value of the remaining equity, less the share of net assets of the original subsidiary that should be enjoyed in accordance with the original shareholding ratio from the date of acquisition, is included in the current profit and loss of the period in which loss of control occurred. Other comprehensive income related to the original subsidiary's equity investment should be converted into current investment income when control is lost. The Company shall disclose in the notes the fair value of the remaining equity after disposal on the date of loss of control and the amount of relevant gains or losses arising from the disposal remeasured based on the fair value. If the transactions of disposal of equity investment in a subsidiary until the loss of control is a package transaction, the accounting treatment of individual financial statements and consolidated financial statements should be distinguished as follows: : (a) In the individual financial statements, the difference between each disposal price and the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment corresponding to the disposed equity before the loss of control is recognized as other comprehensive income, and transferred to the current profit and loss of the period in which the loss of control occurred; (b) In the consolidated financial statements, the difference between each disposal price and the disposal of investment corresponding to the share of the net assets of the subsidiary before the loss of control is recognized as other comprehensive income, and transferred to the current profit and loss of the period in which the loss of control occurred. (5) Criteria for judgment of joint control and significant impact If the Company exerts joint control over an arrangement with other participants in accordance with the relevant agreement, and decision on activities that has significant impact on the return of the arrangement requires the unanimous consent of the participants sharing the control, the Company and other participants will be deemed to have joint control over the arrangement - a joint venture arrangement. If a joint venture arrangement is entered into through an independent entity, and the Company has right over the net assets of the independent entity based on the relevant agreements, the independent entity shall be deemed as a joint venture and accounted for using equity method. If based on the relevant agreement, the Company does not have rights to the net assets of the individual entity, the individual entity shall be deemed as a joint operation, and the items related to the share of interests in the joint operation should be recognized and accounted for in accordance with the provisions of relevant Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. Significant impact means the investor’s power to participate in the decision-making of the financial and operating policies of the investee, but by which the investor cannot control or commonly control together with other parties the formulation of the policies. Significant impact on the investee will be determined based on one or more of the cases with reference to all facts and conditions: 1) Assigning a representative to the board of directors or similar authority of the investee; 2) Participating in formulation of the financial and operational policies of the investee; 3) Entering into a significant transaction with the investee; 4) Assigning an officer to the investee; or 5) Providing key technical information to the investee. 44 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 25 Investment property The Company's investment property means the property held for the purpose of earning rent or capital appreciation, or both, including the land use rights that have been leased, the land use rights that are held for transfer upon appreciation, and the leased buildings. In addition, for the vacant buildings held by the Company for the purpose of leases, if the Board of Directors makes a written resolution that expressly indicates that the buildings will be used for leases and the intention of holding will not change in a short-term, the building will also be reported as investment property. An investment property of the Company will be recorded at its cost that comprises i) in case of a purchased investment property, the purchase price, relevant taxes and other expenses directly attributable to the asset; or ii) in case of a self-constructed investment property, the necessary expenses incurred before the asset is constructed to reach its intended serviceable state. The Company adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment property. For the purpose of depreciation or amortization method, the same amortization policy adopted for buildings as fixed assets and land use rights as intangible assets are used. When the purpose of an investment property is changed to self-use, the Company shall convert the investment property into a fixed asset or intangible asset from the date of change. When the purpose of a self-used property is changed to earning rent or capital appreciation, the Company will convert the fixed asset or intangible asset into an investment property from the date of change. When such a conversion occurs, the carrying amount before the conversion shall be used as the recorded value after the conversion. When an investment property is disposed of, or when it permanently withdraws from use and no economic benefit is expected to be obtained from the disposal of it, the investment property shall be derecognized. The disposal income from the sale, transfer, scrapping or damage of an investment property, net of its carrying amount and related taxes and fees, is recognized in current profits and losses. 45 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 26 Fixed assets (1) Recognition criteria for fixed assets Fixed assets mean tangible assets held for the purpose of producing goods, rendering of services, leases or operation management, whose service life is more than one fiscal year. Fixed assets satisfying the following conditions are recognized: (a) The economic benefits associated with the fixed assets are likely to flow into the enterprise; (b) The cost of the fixed asset can be measured in a reliable way. The Company's fixed assets are classified into buildings, machinery and equipment, office and electronic equipment, transportation vehicles and fixed assets renovation in line with capitalization conditions. Where each component of a fixed asset with a different service life provides economic benefits to the Company in different ways and applies different depreciation rates, it is recognized as a single fixed asset. Fixed assets are initially measured at cost. The cost of purchasing fixed assets includes the purchase price, related taxes, and other expenses attributable to the fixed asset before it is ready for the intended use, such as the expenses on transportation, handling, installation and professional services, etc. When determining the cost of fixed assets, discard expenses should be considered. Subsequent expenditures related to fixed assets that satisfy the recognition criteria of fixed assets are included in the cost of fixed assets; otherwise, they are recognized in profit and loss in the period in which they arise. Fixed assets are depreciated by the straight-line method. The depreciation rate of various fixed assets is determined according to the estimated service life and estimated residual value (the estimated residual value is 0-10% of the original value). The depreciation rate of classified fixed assets is as follows: Asset Category Estimated Service Life Annual Depreciation Rate Houses and buildings 20-50 years 1.8%-5% Machinery equipment 5-15 years 6%-20% Office and electronic equipment 2-5 years 18%-50% Transportation equipment 3-5 years 18%-33.33% Power stations 20-25 years 3.8%-4.75% Others 4-5 years 18%-25% Fixed assets renovation is amortized evenly over the benefit period. All fixed assets are subject to depreciation, except for fixed assets that have been fully depreciated and continue to be used, and the land that is priced and recorded separately. Fixed assets are depreciated on a monthly basis. Fixed assets added are not depreciated in the current month when being added but from the following month; fixed assets reduced are still depreciated in the current month when being reduced, and no depreciation is made from the following month. Fixed assets that are not profitable for the Company or not used temporarily (other than seasonally deactivated) are recognized as idle fixed assets. The estimated life expectancy and depreciation rate of idle fixed assets should be re estimated, and depreciation is directly included in the current profit and loss. The methods for impairment testing and accrual of impairment provisions of fixed assets are detailed in 31 "Long-term Asset Impairment" under Note III. 46 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 27 Construction in progress Construction in progress refers to the necessary expenses incurred by the Company for the purchase and construction of fixed assets or investment property before being ready for the expected usable status, including engineering materials costs, labor costs, related taxes and fees, borrowing costs that should be capitalized and indirect costs that should be apportioned. Construction in progress is accounted for separately according to individual projects. After the construction in progress is ready for its intended use, it must be transferred to fixed assets or investment property, whether the final accounting procedures are completed or not. The methods for impairment testing and accrual of impairment provisions of construction in progress are detailed in 31 "Long-term Asset Impairment" under Note III. 28 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs refer to interest and other related costs incurred by the Company as a result of borrowings, including interest on borrowings, amortization of discounts or premiums, ancillary expenses, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings. Borrowing costs that can be directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization are capitalized and included in the relevant asset cost. Other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, and are included in the current profit and loss. Assets eligible for capitalization refer to fixed assets, investment property and inventories and other assets that require a substantial period of acquisition, construction or production activities to get ready for the intended use or sale status. Borrowing costs become capitalized when: The asset expenditure has occurred, including expenditure incurred in the form of cash payments, transfer of (1) non-cash assets, or assuming interest-bearing debts for the purpose of acquisition, construction or production of assets that are eligible for capitalization; (2) Borrowing costs have occurred; The acquisition, construction or production activities necessary to enable the assets to be ready for the intended (3) usable or saleable state have commenced. When an asset satisfied the capitalization conditions is abnormally interrupted during the process of acquisition, construction or production and the interruption period lasts for more than three months, the capitalization of the borrowing costs is suspended and recognized as the current expenses until the acquisition, construction or production of the assets starts again. When an asset satisfied the capitalization conditions is ready for its intended use or sale, the capitalization is stopped and the borrowing costs incurred in the future are included in the current profit and loss. The period of capitalization refers to the period from the time when the borrowing costs start to be capitalized to the point when the capitalization is stopped, and the period in which the borrowing costs are suspended for capitalization is not included. During the period of capitalization, if special borrowings are made for the acquisition, construction or production of assets eligible for capitalization, the amount of the interest expenses actually incurred during the current period of the special borrowings, less the amount of interest income earned by depositing unused borrowing funds in a bank or investment income earned by temporary investment, is recognized as the amount of capitalization. When a general loan is occupied for the purpose of purchasing, constructing or producing assets satisfied the capitalization conditions, the amount of capitalization is determined according to the weighted average of the accumulated asset expenditure exceeding the special loan portion multiplied by the capitalization rate of the general loan occupied; the capitalization rate is determined based on the weighted average interest rate of general borrowings. 47 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 29 Right-of-use assets The Company initially measures right-of-use assets at cost. Such cost includes: (1) The initial measurement amount of lease liabilities; (2) Lease payments made on or before the commencement date of the lease term (if a lease incentive exists, net of the amount related to the lease incentive already taken); (3) Initial direct costs incurred by the Company; (4) Costs expected to be incurred by the Company to disassemble and remove the leased asset(s), restore the premises where the leased asset(s) is/are located, or restore the leased asset(s) to the condition agreed upon under the terms of the lease (excluding costs incurred to produce inventory). After the commencement date of the lease term, the Company uses the cost model for subsequent measurement of right-of-use assets. If it is reasonably certain that ownership of the leased asset(s) will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the leased asset(s) over its/their remaining service life. If it is not reasonably certain that ownership of the leased asset(s) will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the leased asset(s) over the lease term or the remaining service life of the leased asset(s), whichever is shorter. Right-of-use assets for which impairment reserves have been accrued are depreciated in future periods at their carrying amount net of impairment reserves, with reference to the above principles. In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 - Asset Impairment, the Company determines whether right-of-use assets have been impaired and accounts for the recognized impairment losses, as detailed in 31 "Long-term Asset Impairment" under Note III. 48 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 30 Intangible assets Intangible assets refer to the identifiable non-monetary assets, owned or controlled by the Company, without physical form, including land use rights, intellectual property rights, and non-patented technologies, etc. Intangible assets are recorded at the actual cost at the time of acquisition. The service life of intangible assets is analyzed and judged at the time of acquisition. Intangible assets with a finite service life are amortized on the shortest of the estimated service lives, the beneficial period of the contract and the effective period specified by law from the time when the intangible assets are available for use. The amortization period is as follows: Category Amortization years The shorter of the years of the land use rights and the operating Land use rights years of the Company Patents and non-patent 10 years or the shorter of service life, beneficiary years and legally technologies valid years Others Beneficiary period The Company reviews the service life and amortization method of intangible assets with limited service life at least at the end of each year, and made adjustment if necessary. The methods for impairment testing and accrual of impairment provisions of intangible assets are detailed in 31 "Long-term Asset Impairment" under Note III. If an intangible asset is foreseen as unable to bring economic benefits to the Company, it is regarded as an intangible asset with an indefinite service life, which will be reviewed in each accounting period. If evidence indicates that the service life of the intangible asset is limited, then it is converted to an intangible asset with limited service life. Intangible assets with indefinite service lives are not amortized. The expenditures of the Company's internal research and development projects are classified into expenditures in the research phase and expenditures in the development phase. Research means an original, planned survey of acquiring and understanding new scientific or technical knowledge. Development means the application of research results or other knowledge to a plan or design to produce new or substantially improved materials, devices, products, etc. prior to commercial production or use. The expenditures in the research phase of the Company's internal research and development projects are included in the current profit and loss when incurred; expenditures in the development phase are recognized as intangible assets only when the following conditions are all satisfied: (1) It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset to enable it to be used or sold; (2) There is intent to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (3) The intangible assets can bring economic benefits; (4) There are sufficient technical, financial and other resources to support the development of the intangible assets as well as ability to use or sell the intangible assets; Expenditures attributable to the development stage of the intangible asset can be measured in a reliable (5) way. If the above conditions cannot be all satisfied, the expenditures are included in the current profit and loss when incurred. 49 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 31 Impairment of long-term assets The Company determines whether there is any sign of possible impairment of the long-term assets on the balance sheet date. If there is any sign of impairment in a long-term asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount thereof based on the individual asset. If it is difficult to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined based on the asset group to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount of an asset is determined based on the net amount of fair value of the asset less the disposal expenses, or the present value of estimated future cash flows of the asset, whichever is higher. If the measurement results of the recoverable amount indicate that the recoverable amount of the long- term investment is lower than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the long-term investment is written off to the recoverable amount, and the amount written by is recognized as asset impairment losses, which is included in current profits and losses, while provision for asset impairment is made. Once the asset impairment loss is confirmed, it cannot be reversed in the future accounting period. After the asset impairment loss is recognized, the depreciation or amortization expense of the impaired assets will be adjusted accordingly in the future periods, so that the adjusted carrying amount of the asset (deducting the expected net residual value) will be systematically amortized over the remaining service life of the asset. For the goodwill formed by business combination and the intangible assets with indefinite service life, impairment test is carried out every year regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment. In the impairment test of goodwill, the carrying amount of goodwill is apportioned to the asset group or asset group portfolio expected to benefit from the synergy of the business combination. When impairment tests are conducted on underlying asset groups or asset group portfolios that contain goodwill, impairment tests will be first conducted on the asset groups or asset group portfolios that do not contain goodwill, provided there is any sign of impairment in the asset groups or asset group portfolios related to the goodwill, and the recoverable amount will be calculated, and compared with the relevant carrying amount to recognize the corresponding impairment loss. Further impairment tests will be conducted on asset groups or asset group portfolios that contain goodwill, by comparing the carrying amount of such underlying asset groups or asset group portfolios (including the part of the carrying amount of the allocated goodwill) with their recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the underlying asset group or asset group portfolio is lower than its carrying amount, the impairment loss shall be recognized for goodwill. 32 Long-term deferred expenses Long-term deferred expenses refer to various expenses that the Company has paid, should be amortized over the current and future periods, and whose period of amortization is more than one year, such as the improvement expenses incurred in renting fixed assets by operating leases. Long-term deferred expenses are amortized on a straight-line basis within the beneficial period of the expense items. 33 Contract liabilities The Company recognizes as contract liabilities the part of the obligation to transfer the goods to the customer due to received or receivable consideration from the customer. 50 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 34 Employee benefits Employee benefits include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits provided in various forms of consideration in exchange for service rendered by employees or compensations for the termination of employment relationship. (a) Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits include employee wages or salaries, bonus, allowances and subsidies, staff welfare, premiums or contributions on medical insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, housing funds, union running costs and employee education costs, and short-term paid absences. During the accounting period when employees provide services, the Company recognizes the actual short-term remuneration as liabilities, and includes it in current profits and losses or related asset costs according to the beneficiaries of the services provided by employees. Non-monetary benefits are measured at their fair value. (b) Post-employment benefits The Company classifies post-employment benefit plans as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate fund and will have no obligation to pay further contributions; and defined benefit plans are post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans. During the Reporting Period, the Company’s defined contribution plans mainly include basic pensions and unemployment insurance. (c) Termination benefits If the Company terminates the labor relationship with an employee before the labor contract expires, or offers compensation for encouraging the employee to accept the redundancies voluntarily, the liabilities arising from compensation for the termination of labor relations with the employee is determined, and also included in current profits and losses, at the time when the Company cannot unilaterally withdraw the termination of the labor relationship plan or redundancies proposal, or the time when the cost associated with reorganization involving payment of termination benefits is confirmed, whichever is earlier. (d) Other long-term employee benefits Other long-term employee benefits refer to all employee benefits except short-term employment benefits, post-employment benefits and termination benefits. For other long-term employee benefits that meet the conditions of a defined contribution plan, the amount to be contributed shall be recognized as a liability during the accounting period when the employee provides services to the Company, and shall be included in profit or loss for the period or the underlying asset costs. For long-term employee benefits other than those mentioned above, on the balance sheet date, the benefit obligations arising from the defined benefit plan shall be attributed to the periods during which the employee provides services, and shall be included in profit or loss for the period or the underlying asset costs. 51 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 35 Estimated liabilities (1) Recognition standards for estimated liabilities An obligation related to product quality assurance, loss contracts, restructuring and other contingencies shall be recognized as provision, if i) it is a current obligation of the Company, ii) the fulfillment of this obligation is likely to result in an outflow of economic benefits, and iii) the amount of this obligation can be reliably measured. (2) Measurement methods for estimated liabilities The estimated liabilities of the Company are initially measured on the basis of the best estimate of the expenditure required to perform the relevant current obligations. When determining the best estimate, the Company considers factors such as risks, uncertainties and time value of money related to contingent events. Where the time value of money has a significant impact, the best estimate is determined by discounting the relevant future cash outflows. The best estimates are handled as follows: In case there is a continuous range (or interval) of required expenditures, within which the possibility of occurrence of various results is the same, the best estimate is determined by the average of the middle value of the range, that is, the average of the upper and lower limits. In case there is no continuous range (or interval) of required expenditures, or there is a continuous range but the possibility of various results in the range is different, if the contingency involves a single item, the best estimate is determined based on the most probable amount; if a continge ncy involves multiple items, the best estimate is determined based on various possible outcomes and associated probabilities. If all or part of the expenses required by the Company to settle the estimated liabilities are expected to be compensated by a third party, the compensation amount is separately recognized as an asset when it is basically confirmed to be received, and the recognized compensation amount should not exceed the carrying amount of the estimated liabilities. 52 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 36 Lease liabilities The Company initially measures lease liabilities at the present value of the lease payments outstanding on the commencement date of the lease term. When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the interest rate implicit in lease as the rate of discount. If the implicit interest rate of the lease cannot be determined, the incremental loan interest rate of the Company shall be used as the discount rate. Lease payments include: The amount of fixed payments, net of amounts related to lease incentives, and the amount of substantive (a) fixed payments; (b) Variable lease payments that depend on indexation or ratio; The exercise price of the purchase option, when applicable, if the Company is reasonably certain that the (c) option will be exercised; (d) The amount required to be paid to exercise the option to terminate the lease if the lease term reflects that the Company will exercise the option to terminate the lease; (e) The estimated amount payable based on the secured residual value provided by the Company. The Company calculates the interest expenses of lease liabilities for each period within the lease term at a fixed rate of discount and includes them in profit or loss for the current period or cost of the related assets. Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities should be included in profit or loss for the current period or cost of the related assets when they are actually incurred. 37 Share-based payments The share-based payments of the Company are mainly equity-settled share-based payments, and only allow to be exercised by employees after the completion of their services in the waiting period. On each balance sheet date in the waiting period, based on the best estimate of the number of vesting equity instruments, the services obtained in the current period are included in the relevant costs or expenses and capital reserve based on the fair value at the grant date of the equity instruments. The fair value of equity instruments is determined by the external appraiser or management based on the binomial distribution method. The best estimate of the vesting equity instrument is determined by the management based on historical statistics on the vesting weights and turnover rates on the balance sheet date. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments granted to employees. In case that the vesting right is available immediately after the grant, it is included in relevant cost or expense based on the fair value of the equity instrument on the grant date, and the capital reserve is increased accordingly. In case that the vesting right is available after the completion of services in the waiting period or satisfaction of stipulated performance conditions, on each balance sheet day during the waiting period, the services acquired in the current period are included into the relevant costs or expenses and capital reserve on the basis of the best estimate of the number of feasible equity instruments and at the fair value of the date on which the equity instruments are granted. No adjustments are made to the identified related costs or expenses or total owners' equity after the vesting date. 53 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 38 Revenue recognition (1) General principles applied to revenue recognition The Company shall recognize the revenue according to the transaction price assigned to the performance obligation when any due performance obligation is fulfilled (namely when the client obtains the control over relevant commodities or services). Performance Obligation means that, under the contract, the Company promises to transfer commodities or services that can be clearly distinguished to the client. "Obtain the control over relevant commodities or services" refers to the ability to completely dominate the use of commodities and obtain almost all economic benefits. From the contract’s effectiveness date, the Company shall evaluate the contract, recognize each single performance obligation included and determine whether each performance obligation is fulf illed within a certain period or at a time point. When any of the following conditions is met, for performance obligation to be fulfilled within a certain period, the Company shall recognize corresponding revenue within the period according to the performance schedule: While fulfilling the due obligation in the Company, the client obtains and consumes the resulting (a) economic benefit; (b) The client is able to control the commodities under construction during the Company’s fulfillment; (c) Commodities generated from the Company’s fulfillment possess irreplaceable purpose and the Company has the right to charge all fulfilled performance obligations within the whole contract period; otherwise, the Company shall recognize corresponding revenue when the client obtains the control over relevant commodities or services. For any performance obligation with a certain period, the Company shall apply the output method/input method to determine the appropriate fulfillment schedule based on the specific nature of commodities and services. The output method is to determine the fulfillment schedule according to the value of commodities transferred to the client (while the input method is to determine the fulfillment schedule according to the Company’s input to fulfill the performance obligation). If the fulfillment schedule cannot be reasonably determined and the Company’s costs are predicted to be compensated, corresponding revenue shall be recognized based on the specific cost amount until the fulfillment schedule could be reasonably determined. 54 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 38 Revenue recognition (continued) (2) Specific revenue recognition method (a) Product sales contract According to the contract terms, for the selling of products subject to performance obligation fulfillment conditions at a time point and other products, the Company shall recognize the realization of sales revenues when the client obtains the control over relevant commodities or services according to the delivery condition agreed in the sales contract upon signed by the client after commodities are received. (b) Technical service contract If revenues are recognized within a certain period based on the technical service contract, corresponding revenues shall be recognized according to the performance schedule. (c) Royalty income Accounted for according to the time and method of charging as stipulated in the relevant contract or agreement. (d) Revenue from photovoltaic power stations a. Centralized power stations: Power stations are combined to the grid. The revenue is recognized based on the documents on power supply provided by the business departments of the Company, after the duration of continuous and trouble-free operation specified by the electric power company is met. b. Distributed power stations: Power stations are combined to the grid. The revenue is recognized based on the documents on settlement provided by the business departments of the Company. (3) Principles of handling revenues from specific transactions (a) For the contract containing the sales return article: When the client obtains the control over relevant commodities, corresponding revenue shall be recognized according to the consideration amount (excluding the amount predicted to be returned due to sales return) predicted to be duly charged from transferring commodities to the client, and corresponding liabilities shall be recognized based on the amount predicted to be returned due to sales return. Meanwhile, when commodities are sold, the balance through deducting the predicted cost for taking back commodities from the carrying amount of commodities predicted to be returned (including the impairment of value of returned commodities) shall be accounted for under "Returned Commodities Cost Receivable". (b) For the contract containing the quality assurance article: it’s required to evaluate whether the quality assurance involves any separable service except for the promise (to the client) that commodities conform to established standards. If the Company provides additional service, it shall be deemed as a single performance obligation and subject to the accounting treatment according to relevant revenue criteria provisions; otherwise, the quality assurance liability shall be subject to the accounting treatment according to the accounting criteria provisions on Contingency. (c) For the sales contract containing the client’s additional purchase option: the Company shall evaluate whether the option provides the client with any significant right. If any, it shall be deemed as a single performance obligation and the transaction price shall be apportioned to the performance obligation, and c orresponding revenues shall be recognized when the client executes the purchase option right and obtains the control over relevant commodities in the future or when the option becomes invalid. If the separable selling price applied to the client’s additional purchase option right cannot be directly observed, it’s required to comprehensively consider the difference in discounts between the client’s execution of option right and the client’s non-execution of option right and analyze the possibility for the client to execute the option right and other relevant information. Then, corresponding reasonable estimate shall be made. 55 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 38 Revenue recognition (continued) (3) Principles of handling revenues from specific transactions (continued) (d) The contract licensing the IP right to the client: It’s required to evaluate whether the IP right license constitutes any single performance obligation; if any, it is necessary to determine whether the performance obligation fulfillment is fulfilled within a certain period or at a time point. If any IP right license is granted to the client and royalties are charged based on the client’s actual sales or usage, corresponding revenues shall be recognized at a later time between the following dates: the day when the client’s subsequent selling or usage occurs; the day when the Company fulfills relevant performance obligations. (e) Major responsible person and agent: Based on whether the Company has control over the goods or service before transferring it to the customer, it is determined whether the Company is the major responsible person or an agent in the transactions. If the Company is able to control the goods or service before transferring it to the customer, the Company shall be deemed as major responsible person and the revenue shall be recognized at the total amount of the consideration received or receivable; otherwise the Company shall be deemed as an agent and the revenue shall be recognized at the amount of the commission or handling fee to which it expects to be entitled. The amount of the commission or handling fee is determined by deducting the amount payable to other relevant parties from the total amount of consideration received or receivable. 39 Contract costs (1) Contract performance cost For the cost resulting from performing the contract which is not included in other ASBE except the revenue standards and meets the following conditions, the Company shall recognize it as an asset: (a) The cost is directly related to a current or predicted contract, including the direct labor, direct material and manufacturing expenses (or similar expenses), the cost borne by the client and other costs resulting from the contract; The cost adds various resources that can be applied by the Company to fulfill due performance (b) obligations; and (c) The cost is predicted to be recovered. The asset shall be presented and reported in inventory or other non-current assets, which depends on whether the amortization period exceeds a normal operating cycle during the initial recognition. (2) Contract acquisition cost If the increment cost resulting from the Company’s acquisition of contract is predicted to be recovered, it shall be recognized as an asset as the contract acquisition cost. Increment Cost refers to the cost which only results from the contract acquisition, like the sales commission. If the amortization period is less than one year, it shall be included in current profit and loss. (3) Contract cost amortization The asset related to the contract cost shall, by adopting the same basis for the recognition of commodities or services revenues related to the asset, be amortized during the period of fulfilling the performance obligation or according to the fulfillment schedule and be included into current profit and loss. 56 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 39 Contract costs (continued) (4) Impairment of contract costs For the asset related to the contract cost as mentioned above, if the carrying amount is higher than the difference between the residual consideration predicted to be obtained from the Company’s transfer of commodities related to the asset and the cost to be incurred due to such transfer, depreciation reserves shall be calculated and withdrawn for the surplus which shall also be recognized as the asset impairment loss. After the provision for impairment is made, if changes in depreciation factors during previous periods have made the above difference higher than the asset’s carrying amount, it shall be restituted to previously established asset impairment allowances and included in current profit and loss. However, the carrying amount of restituted assets shall not exceed the carrying amount of the asset on the date of restitution without establishing impairment allowances. 40 Public grants (1) Type of change Public grants are transfers of monetary or non-monetary assets from the public to the Group at nil consideration. According to the grants targets stipulated in the relevant public documents, public grants are classified into public grants related to assets and public grants related to income. (2) Recognition of public grants If a public grant is a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or receivable. If a public grant is a non-monetary asset, it is measured at fair value. If the fair value cannot be obtained in a reliable way, it is measured at the nominal amount (RMB 1). Public grants measured at nominal amounts are recognized directly in the current profits and losses. (3) Accounting treatment Public grants related to assets offset the carrying amount of the underlying assets. If the public grants related to income are used to compensate related costs or losses in the subsequent period, it is recognized as deferred income and included in the current profit and loss or offset costs in the period in which the related costs or losses are recognized; public grants used to compensate costs or losses incurred by the enterprise shall be directly included in current profits and losses or offset related costs. For public grants related to the day-to-day activities of the enterprise, the R&D and VAT-related subsidies and the taxation, or operation-based incentive public subsidies are included in other income; other public grants are written off against related costs based on the substance of economic activities. Public grants not related to daily activities of the Company are included in the non-operating income and expenditure. For preferential loans for policy discount, if the public finance department appropriates the discounted funds to the lending bank, the borrowing cost is accounted for according to the principal of the loan and the policy preferential interest rate, with the amount actually received as the entry value of the loan. If the public finance department directly appropriates the interest grant funds to the Company, the grants shall offset the related borrowing costs. In case that a recognized public grant is required to be returned, the carrying amount of the asset is adjusted if the carrying amount of relevant assets is offset at the initial recognition; if there is related deferred income, the book balance of deferred income is offset, and the excess is included in the current profit and loss; and in case of other circumstances, it is directly included in current profits and losses. 57 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 41 Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities shall be recognized based on the difference (temporary difference) between the tax basis and carrying amount of the underlying assets or liabilities. On the balance sheet date, the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured based on the tax rate applicable during the period when it is expected to recover the assets or pay off the liabilities. (1) Basis for recognition of deferred income tax assets The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is likely to acquire taxable income that can be used to offset the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses that can be carried forward to future years and tax credits. However, deferred income tax assets arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction with all the following characteristics shall not be recognized: (1) the transaction is not a business combination; and (2) the occurrence of the transaction does not affect accounting profits or taxable income or deductible losses. For a deductible temporary difference related to investments in affiliates, the corresponding deferred income tax asset will be recognized if the following criteria are met simultaneously: the temporary difference is likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future and it is likely to obtain taxable income that can be used to offset the deductible temporary difference in the future. (2) Basis for recognition of deferred income tax liabilities The Company recognizes the taxable temporary differences that should be paid but not paid for the current and previous periods as deferred income tax liabilities. But deferred tax liabilities do not include: (a) Temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill; Temporary differences arising from transactions or events that are not formed by a business (b) combination and do not affect accounting profits or taxable income (or deductible losses) upon their occurrence; For taxable temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and associates, the timing (c) of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and the temporary differences are unlikely to be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented on a net basis after, provided the following (3) conditions are met: (a) An enterprise has the legal right to settle current income tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; Deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxing authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to either settle current (b) tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are reversed. 58 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 42 Leases From the effectiveness date of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is a lease or includes any lease. If a party to the contract transfers the right allowing the control over the use of one or more assets that have been identified within a certain period, in exchange for a consideration, such contract is a lease or includes a lease. (1) Lease contract split If a contract contains multiple single leases at the same time, the Company will split the contract, and conduct accounting treatment of each single lease respectively. If a contract contains both lease and non-lease parts at the same time, the Company will split the lease and non-lease parts, conduct accounting treatment of the lease part in accordance with the accounting standards governing leases, and conduct accounting treatment of the non-lease part in accordance with other applicable corporate accounting standards. (2) Lease contract combination With regard to two or multiple contracts containing leases concluded by the Company with the same counterparty or its related parties at the same or a similar time, when any of the following conditions is met, the contracts are combined into one contract for accounting treatment: Two or multiple contracts are concluded based on an overall business purpose and constitute a package (a) deal, and if they are not considered as a whole, the overall business purpose cannot be understood. The consideration amount of one contract among the two or multiple contracts depends on the pricing or (b) performance of other contracts. (c) The rights to use assets transferred by the two or multiple contracts constitute one single lease. (3) Accounting treatment with the Company as lessee On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company recognises the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the lease, unless it is a simplified short-term lease or low-value asset lease. (a) Short-term leases and low-value asset leases A short-term lease refers to a lease that does not include a purchase option and whose lease term does not exceed 12 months. A low-value asset lease refers to a lease where the value will be low when a single leased asset is a new asset. The Company does not recognize the right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for the following short-term leases and low-value asset leases. In each period within the lease term, the relevant lease payments are included in cost of the related assets or profit or loss for the current period on a straightline basis or according to other systemic and reasonable methods. Item Simplified leased asset type A lease whose lease term does not exceed 12 months from the Short-term lease commencement date of the lease term An asset lease with a value of less than RMB 40,000 or its foreign currency Low-value asset lease equivalents 59 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 42 Leases (continued) (3) Accounting treatment with the Company as lessee (continued) The Company recognises the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and low-value asset leases other than those mentioned above. The accounting policies for right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are detailed in Note III, 29 and Note III, (b) 36. (4) Accounting treatment with the Company as lessor (a) Lease classification: The Company classifies leases into finance leases and operating leases at the inception of leases. A finance lease refers to a lease where almost all the risks and rewards, related to the ownership of the leased asset(s), are substantially transferred, regardless of whether the ownership is transferred eventually. An o perating lease refers to all leases other than finance leases. Usually, the Company classifies a lease that meets any one or more of the following conditions as a finance lease: 1) Upon expiry of the lease term, the ownership of the leased asset(s) is transferred to the lessee. 2) The lessee has the option to purchase the leased assets. As the agreed purchase price is low enough compared with the fair value of the leased asset(s) at the time the option is expected to be exercised, it can be reasonably determined at the inception of the lease that the lessee will exercise the option. 3) Although the ownership of the asset(s) is not transferred, the lease term accounts for the majority of the service life of the leased asset(s). 4) At the inception of the lease, the present value of the lease payments receivable is almost equal to the fair value of the leased asset(s). 5) The leased asset(s) is/are special in nature and can be only used by the lessee, unless there is a large alteration. The Company may also classify a lease that falls under any one or more of the following circumstances as a finance lease: 1) If the lessee cancels the lease, losses to the lessor caused by the cancellation will be borne by the lessee. 2) Gains or losses arising from fluctuations in the fair value of the residual value of the leased asset(s) are borne by the lessee. 3) The lessee is able to renew the lease with a rental far lower than the market level to the next term. (b) Accounting treatment of finance leases On the commencement date of the lease term, the Company recognises the finance lease receivables for the finance lease and derecognises the leased asset(s) of the finance lease. In the initial measurement of finance lease receivables, the sum of the unsecured residual value and the present value of the lease payments receivable not yet received on the commencement date of the lease term discounted at the interest rate implicit in lease is the entry value of the finance lease receivables. Lease payments receivable include: 1) The amount of fixed payments, net of amounts related to lease incentives, and the amount of substantive fixed payments; 2) Variable lease payments that depend on indexation or ratios; 3) The exercise price of the purchase option, when applicable, if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the purchase option; 4) The amount required to be paid by the lessee to exercise the option to terminate the lease if the lease term reflects that the lessee will exercise the option to terminate the lease; 5) Secured residual value provided to the lessor by the lessee, a party related to the lessee, or an independent third party that has the financial ability to perform the security provision obligation. The received variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease are included in profits and losses for the current period when they are actually incurred. 60 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 42 Leases (continued) (4) Accounting treatment with the Company as lessor (continued) (c) Accounting treatment of operating leases For each period of the lease term, the Company adopts the straight-line method or other systematic and reasonable methods to recognize the lease receipts of the operating lease as rental income; the Company capitalizes the initial direct expenses incurred in connection with the operating lease, amortizes them over the lease term on the same basis as that for the recognition of the rental income, and includes them in the current profit and loss by stage; the Company includes the variable lease payments, obtained in connection with the operating lease that are not included in the lease receipts, in current profits and losses when they actually incurred. (5) Sale and leaseback (a) The Company as seller and lessee If the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is a sale, the Company will measure the right-of- use assets formed by the sale and leaseback based on the portion of the original asset’s carrying amount that is related to the use right acquired by the leaseback, and recognize related gains or losses only for the right transferred to the lessor. If the fair value of the sales consideration is different from the fair value of the asset, or if the lessor does not charge the rent at the market price, the Company will conduct accounting treatment with the sales consideration amount below the market price as the prepaid rent, or the amount above the market price as the additional financing provided by the lessor to the lessee; at the same time, the relevant sales gains or losses will be adjusted based on the fair value. If the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is not a sale, the Company will continue to recognise the transferred asset and at the same time recognise a financial liability equivalent to the transfer income. (b) The Company as buyer and lessor If the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is a sale, the Company will conduct corresponding accounting treatment for asset purchase and apply the accounting standards governing leases to the accounting treatment of the asset lease. If the fair value of the sales consideration is different from the fair value of the asset, or if the Company does not charge the rent at the market price, the Company will conduct accounting treatment with the sales consideration amount below the market price as the pre- collected rent, or the amount above the market price as the additional financing provided by the Company to the lessee; at the same time, the rental receipt will be adjusted based on the market price. If the asset transfer in a sale and leaseback transaction is not a sale, the Company will recognise a financial asset equivalent to the transfer income. 43 Related parties If one party controls, commonly controls or exerts a significant influence on the other party, and two or more parties are under the control, common control or significant influence of the other party, they constitute related parties. Enterprises that are solely controlled by the state and do not have any other related party relationship shall not be deemed as related parties. 61 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 44 Discontinued operations The Company will recognize a component that meets one of the following conditions, has been disposed of or classified as being held for sale, and can be separately identified, as a component of discontinued operation: (1) This component represents an independent main business or a separate main operation region. (2) This component is part of a related plan to dispose of an independent main business or a separate main operation region. (3) This component is a subsidiary acquired for the sole purpose of resale. Operating profit and loss, such as impairment losses for discontinued operations and the amount reversed, and disposal profit and loss are presented in the income statement as profit and loss of discontinued operations. In the balance sheet, the Company presents, independently from other assets, the held-for-sale non-current assets or assets in held-for-sale disposal groups, and presents, independently from other liabilities, the liabilities in held-for-sale disposal groups. The held-for-sale non-current assets or assets in held-for-sale disposal groups and the liabilities in held-for-sale disposal groups shall not offset each other, but shall be presented as current assets and current liabilities respectively. In the income statement, the Company presents the profits and losses from going concern and the profits and losses from discontinued operations. For the discontinued operations reported in the current period, the Company represents in the financial statements for the current period, the information, previously presented as the profits and losses from going concern, as the profits and losses from discontinued operations for the comparable accounting period. If the discontinued operations are no longer eligible for being classified as held-for-sale categories, the Company will represent in the financial statements for the current period, the information, previously presented as the profits and losses from discontinued operations, as the profits and losses from going concern for the comparable accounting period. 45 Hedge Accounting Hedge is classified as fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or net foreign investment hedge based on the hedging relationship. (1) A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting only if all of the following criteria are met: (a) The hedging relationship consists only of eligible hedging instruments and eligible hedged items. (b) At the inception of the hedging relationship, there is formal designation of hedging instruments and hedged items, and documentation of the hedging relationship and the Company’s risk management strategies and objectives for undertaking the hedge have been prepared. 62 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 45 Hedge Accounting (continued) (1) A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting only if all of the following criteria are met (continued) (c) The hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements. The hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements only if all of the following criteria are met: 1) There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument. This economic relationship causes opposite changes in the value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in face of the identical hedged risk. 2) The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship. 3) The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Company actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Company actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. However, that designation shall not reflect an imbalance between the weightings of the hedged item and the hedging instrument that would create hedge ineffectiveness that could result in an accounting outcome that would be inconsistent with the purpose of hedge accounting. (2) Fair value hedge accounting (a) Gain or loss on the hedging instrument shall be recognised in profit or loss. If the hedging instrument hedges a non-trading equity instrument (or a component thereof) that the Company has elected to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the hedging gain or loss generated by the hedging instrument shall be recognized in other comprehensive income. (b) Gain or loss generated by the hedged item due to the hedged risk exposure shall be recognized in profit or loss, and shall adjust the carrying amount of the recognized hedged item that is not measured at fair value. If the hedged item is a financial asset (or a component thereof) measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the hedging gain or loss on the hedged item shall be recognized in profit or loss, and will not be required for adjustment since the carrying amount has been measured at fair value. However, if the hedged item is a non-trading equity instrument (or a component thereof) that the Company has elected to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the hedging gain or loss on the hedged item shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, and will not be required for adjustment, since the carrying amount has been measured at fair value. When a hedged item represents a defined commitment that has not been unrecognized (or a component thereof), the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item subsequent to its designation caused by the hedge relationship is recognized as an asset or a liability with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. When a defined commitment is made to acquire an asset or assume a liability, the initial carrying amount of the asset or the liability is adjusted to include the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item that has been recognized. (c) If the hedged item is a financial instrument (or a component thereof) measured at amortized cost, the adjustment made to the carrying amount of the hedged item shall be amortized based on the effective interest rate recalculated on the amortization commencement date, and recognized in current profits and losses. This amortization can commence from the adjustment date, but not later than the time when the hedging gain or loss adjustment is made for the termination of the hedged item. If the hedged item is a financial asset (or a component thereof) measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative recognized hedging gain or loss shall be amortized in the same manner and recognized in the profit or loss, but the carrying amount of the financial asset (or a component thereof) shall not be adjusted. 63 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 45 Hedge Accounting (continued) (3) Accounting treatment of cash flow hedges (a) The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge (i.e., the portion that is offset by the change in the cash flow hedge reserve) shall be recognized in other comprehensive income. The amount of cash flow hedging reserves shall be determined based on the lower of the absolute amount of the following two items: 1) The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument since the commencement of the hedge; 2) The cumulative change in the present value of expected future cash flows of the hedged item since the commencement of the hedge. The amount of cash flow hedging reserves recognized in other comprehensive income for each period is the change in cash flow hedging reserves for the period. (b) The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an ineffective hedge (i.e., other gain or loss after deducting that recognized in other comprehensive income) shall be recognized in current profits and losses. (c) The amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve shall be accounted for as follows: 1) if any hedged item as an expected transaction, and the expected transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, or a hedged forecast transaction for a non- financial asset or a non-financial liability becomes a defined commitment for which fair value hedge accounting treatment is applied, the Company shall remove that amount from the cash flow hedge reserve previously recognized in other comprehensive income and include it in the initial cost of the asset or the liability. 2) for cash flow hedges other than those covered by 1), that amount from the cash flow hedge reserve previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall be reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to current profits and losses in the same period or the period during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss. 3) however, if that amount from the cash flow hedge reserve previously recognized in other comprehensive income is a loss and the Company expects that all or a portion of that loss will not be recovered in one or more future periods, it shall immediately reclassify the amount that is not expected to be recovered from other comprehensive income to current profits and losses. (4) Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, including a hedge of a monetary item that is accounted for as part of the net investment shall be accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges: (a) The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge shall be recognized in other comprehensive income. When disposing of all or part of the foreign operation, the gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in other comprehensive income shall be correspondingly transferred out and recognized in current profits and losses. (b) The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an ineffective hedge shall be recognized in current profits and losses. 64 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 45 Hedge Accounting (continued) (5) Termination of hedge accounting Hedge accounting will be terminated if one of the following situations occurs: (a) The hedging relationship no longer meets the risk management objectives due to changes in risk management objectives. (b) The hedging instrument has expired or been sold, or the contract has been terminated or has been exercised. (c) The economic relationship no longer exists between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, or the effect of credit risk start to dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship. (d) The hedging relationship no longer meets other conditions for applying hedging accounting stipulated in this standard. In case that the rebalancing of the hedging relationship is applied, the Company shall first consider the rebalancing of the hedging relationship, and then evaluate whether the hedging relationship meets the conditions for applying hedging accounting stipulated in this standard. Termination of hedge accounting may affect the whole or a portion of the hedging relationship, and when only a portion thereof is affected, hedge accounting remain applicable to the remaining unaffected portion. (6) Fair value selection of credit risk exposure When credit derivative instruments measured at fair value through current profits and losses are used to manage the credit risk exposure of a financial instrument (or a component thereof), the financial instrument (or a component thereof) can be designated as a financial instrument measured at fair value through current profits and losses during its initial recognition, subsequent measurement, or when not yet recognized, with written records made simultaneously, provided that the following criteria are met: (a) The subject (such as the borrower or the loan commitment holder) of the credit risk exposure of the financial instrument is consistent with the subject involved in the credit derivative; (b) The reimbursement level of the financial instrument is consistent with that of the instrument required to be delivered under the terms of the credit derivative. 65 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) III Significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (continued) 46 Changes to major accounting policies and estimates (1) Change of accounting policies Impact of the adoption of the Interpretation to Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 17 on the Company On October 25, 2023, the Ministry of Finance issued the Corporate Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 17 (Cai Kuai [2023] No. 21, hereinafter referred to as "Interpretation No. 17"). The Company has adopted the "Accounting for Sale and Leaseback Transactions" since January 1, 2024, and the adoption of the Interpretation No. 17 has had no significant impact on the consolidated and the Company's financial statements. (2) Changes to accounting estimates No significant change occurred to the major accounting estimates in the Reporting Period. 47 Correction of previous accounting errors No previous accounting errors were identified and corrected in the Reporting Period. 66 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) IV Taxes 1 Value-added tax In the Reporting Period, output tax was calculated at 3%, 5%, 6%, 9% or 13% of the taxable income of general taxpayers and the value added-tax was paid based on the difference after deducting the allowance deduction of input tax in the current period. The value added-tax payment for the Company’s directly exported goods is executed in accordance with the regulations of "Exemption, Offset and Refund".

(2) The Company had no significant joint ventures in the Reporting Period. 137 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) IX Risks related to financial instruments The purpose of the Company’s risk management is to achieve a right balance between the risk and the benefit and maximally reduce the adverse impact of financial risks on the Company’s financial performance. Based on such purpose, the Company has established various risk management policies to recognize and analyze possible risks to be encountered by the Company, set an appropriate risk acceptable level and designed corresponding internal control procedures so as to control the Company’s risk level. In addition, the Company will regularly review these risk management policies and relevant internal control system in order to adapt to the market or handle various changes in the Company’s operating activities. Meanwhile, the Company’s internal audit department will also regularly or randomly check whether the implementation of internal control system conforms to relevant risk management policies. In fact, the Company has applied proper diversified investment and business portfolio to disperse various financial instrument risks and worked out corresponding risk management policies to reduce the risk of concentrating on one single industry, specific region or specific counterpart. The main risks arising from the Company's financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk (mainly foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk). (1) Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss caused by any party of financial instruments to another party due to the failure in fulfilling performance obligations. The Group controls the credit risk based on the specific group classification, and credit risk mainly results from bank deposit, due from central bank, notes receivable, accounts receivable, loans and advances to customers and other receivables. The Group’s bank deposits and due from central bank are mainly deposited in stated-owned banks and other large and medium-sized listed banks. The Group considers no significant credit risk existed and no significant loss will be caused by the counterpart’s breach of contract. For notes receivable, accounts receivable, loans and advances to customers and other receivables, the Group has established relevant policies to control the credit risk exposure, and will evaluate the client’s credit qualification and determine corresponding credit period based on the client’s financial status, the possibility of obtaining guarantees from the third party, relevant credit records and other factors (like the current market situation). In the meantime, the Group will regularly monitor the client's credit records. For any client with unfavorable credit records, the Group will issue written reminders, shorten the credit period or cancel the credit period so as to keep the Group's overall credit risk controllable. As of June 30, 2024, no significant guarantee or other credit enhancements held due to the debtor mortgage was found in the Group. (2) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk refers to the risk of capital shortage the Company encounters when the Company is fulfilling the obligation of settlement in the form of cash or other financial assets. Various subsidiaries under the Group shall be responsible for predicting their own cash flow. The financial department of the headquarter shall firstly summarize predictions on the cash flow of various subsidiaries and then continuously monitor the short-term and long-term fund demand at the Group's level so as to maintain sufficient cash reserves and negotiable securities that can be realized at any time; meanwhile, special efforts shall also be made to continuously monitor whether provisions stated in the loan agreement are observed and to make major financial institutions promise to provide sufficient reserve funds so as to satisfy short-term and long-term capital demand. As of June 30, 2024, the Group had no liquidity risk events. 138 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) IX Risks Related to Financial Instruments (continued) (3) Market risk (a) Foreign exchange risk The Group has carried out various economic activities around the world including manufacturing, selling, investment and financing etc., and corresponding interest rate fluctuation risks exist in the Group’s foreign currency assets and liabilities and future foreign currency transactions. The Group always regards "Locking the Cost and Avoiding Possible Risks" as the foreign currency risk management goal. Through the natural hedging of settlement currency, matching with the foreign currency liabilities, signing simple derivative products closely related to the owner's operation and meeting corresponding hedge accounting treatment requirements and applying other management methods, the foreign currency risk exposure can be controlled within a reasonable scope and the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Group's overall profit and loss will be reduced. (a) On June 30, 2024, foreign-currency asset and liability items with significant exposure to exchange risk were mainly denominated in US dollars. After management, the total risk exposure of the US dollar-denominated items had a net asset exposure of USD269,484,000, equivalent to RMB1,920,562,000 based on the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The differences arising from the translation of foreign currency financial statements were not included. The Group applies the following exchange rate of USD against RMB: Exchange rate at Average exchange rate period-end January - June 2024 June 30, 2024 USD/RMB 7.1074 7.1268 Provided that other risk variables remained unchanged except for the exchange rate, a 5% depreciation/appreciation in RMB as a result of the changes in the exchange rate of RMB against USD would cause an increase/decrease of RMB96,028,000 in shareholders’ equity and net profits respectively of the Group on June 30, 2024. The above-mentioned sensitivity analysis is made based on the assumption that the exchange rate changes on the balance sheet date, and financial instruments held by the Group on the balance sheet date exposed to the exchange risk are re-calculated based on the changed exchange rate. The above analysis does not include differences arising from the translation of foreign currency financial statements. (b) Interest risk The Group’s interest rate risk mainly results from interest-bearing bank borrowings adopting floating interest rates, and the Group determined the proportion of fixed interest rates and floating interest rates based on the market environment and its risk tolerance. Up until June 30, 2024, the Group’s liabilities with floating interest rates accounted for 67.27% of its total interest-bearing liabilities. And, the Group will continuously monitor the interest rates and make corresponding adjustments according to the specific market changes so as to avoid interest rate risk. (4) Offset of financial assets and financial liabilities As at the end of the reporting period, the amount offset between the financial assets and financial liabilities 139 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) recognized under executable master netting arrangements or similar agreements was RMB21,195,123,000. X Classification of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Fair value of financial instruments and levels 1 Fair value is divided into the following levels in measurement and disclosure: Level 1 refers to the (unadjusted) quotation of the same type of assets or liabilities on the active market; and the Company mainly adopts the closing price as the value of a financial asset. Financial instruments of level 1 mainly include exchange listed stocks and bonds. Level 2 refers to the directly or indirectly observable input of a financial asset or liability that does not belong to level 1. Level 3 refers to the input of a financial asset or liability determined based on variables other than the observable market data (non-observable input). 2 Basis for determining the market value of items measured at continuous level 1 fair value The Company adopts the active market quotation as the fair value of a level 1 financial asset. Items measured at continuous level 2 fair value adopt the following valuation techniques and 3 parameters: The Company’s receivables financing was bank acceptance notes and trade acceptance notes, of which the market prices were determined based on the transfer or discounted amounts. Derivative financial assets and liabilities are multiple IRS and CCS signed between the Group and financial institutions. The Company adopts the quotations provided by the financial institution in valuation. Items measured at continuous level 3 fair value adopt the following valuation techniques and 4 parameters (nature and quantity): Other non-current financial assets measured at continuous level 3 fair value are mainly unlisted equity investments held by the Company. In measuring the fair value, the Company mainly adopts the valuation technique of comparison with listed companies, taking into account the price of similar securities and liquidity discount. Held-for-trading financial assets measured at continuous level 3 fair value are mainly wealth management products held by the Company. In valuation of the fair value, the Company adopts the method of discounting future cash flows based on the agreed expected yield rate. 140 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) X Classification of Financial Instruments and Fair Value (continued) 5 Financial instruments measured in three levels of fair value Financial assets Item Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Held-for-trading financial assets (see 633,276 21,169,297 3,424,009 25,226,582 Note V. 2) Derivative financial assets (see Note V.3) - 155,087 - 155,087 Receivables financing (see Note V.6) - - 618,962 618,962 Investments in other equity instruments 16,002 - 371,253 387,255 (see Note V. 16) Other non-current financial assets (see 356,850 300,690 3,338,196 3,995,736 Note V. 17) Total assets continuously measured at 1,006,128 21,625,074 7,752,420 30,383,622 fair value Financial liabilities Item Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Held-for-trading financial liabilities (see Note V, 31) - 4,000 204,434 208,434 Derivative financial liabilities (see Note V, 32) - 80,185 - 80,185 Total liabilities continuously measured at fair value - 84,185 204,434 288,619 141 TCL Technology Group Corporation Notes to Financial Statements For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2024 (RMB’000) XI Related Parties and Related-Party Transactions 1 Actual controller and its acting-in-concert parties Explanation of The Company’s Absence of Controlling Shareholders Mr. Li Dongsheng and Ningbo Jiutian Liancheng Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) became persons acting in concert by signing the Agreement on Concerted Action, holding 1,265,347,805 shares in total and becoming the largest shareholder of the Company.
