The Industries to which the Company's Intelligent Packaging Equipment Business Segment Belongs 1.1 Demand side—customers The intelligent packaging equipment division of the Company specializes in “smart corrugated packaging equipment” and “digital printers”. This division primarily serves B-end customers such as corrugated cardboard and corrugated box manufacturers. As a machinery supplier, the Company provides various single machine and complete production line products for cardboard and box production, which makes the Company depend on the development of the downstream paper packaging industry to some extent. End demand for corrugated packaging is growing: The corrugated box field is one of the major fields of the paper packaging industry, of which the end demand is relevant to the prosperity of consumption and business Page 13 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 activities. Corrugated packaging products are used in a vast number of fields, including food and beverage, household chemicals, electronic products, and e-commerce express delivery, and are inelastically demanded by consumers. Corrugated packaging applications in electronics, beverages, food, household chemicals and express delivery accounted for 26%, 21%, 20%, 13% and 13% of the overall applications of corrugated packaging in downstream sectors, respectively. Over the past few years, the scale of China’s express corrugated packaging market has been on the rise. By the forecast of Qianzhan Industry Research Institute, the scale of China’s express corrugated packaging market will continue to rise in the upcoming years and is estimated to reach RMB86.4 billion by 2025 (CAGR for 2019 to 2025: Approximately 15%). Terminal markets, including the express, electronics, and household chemicals terminal markets, show an increasing demand for corrugated box and board packaging, which will drive the expansion of the capacity of corrugated packaging enterprises and thus increase the demand for corrugated packaging machinery, benefiting the machinery manufacturers. Between 2017 and 2023, the domestic express business recorded rapid growth, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 27%. Data from the State Post Bureau showed that the total volume of domestic express delivery for 2023 was 162.48 billion pieces, up 16.8% year-on-year. Trend of China's Express Business Volume Above Scale, 2016-2023 1800.0 1624.8 60.0% 1600.0 50.0% 1400.0 1200.0 1083.0 1105.9 40.0% 833.6 1000.0 635.2 30.0% 800.0 600.0 507.1 20.0% 400.6 400.0 312.8 10.0% 200.0 0.0 0.0% 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 中国快递业务量 同比增速 According to the “June 2024 China Express Development Index Report” and related statistical data released by the State Post Bureau in July 2024, China’s express market maintained a rapid development trend in the first half of 2024, supporting the prosperity of the online economy and adding momentum to economic and social development. In the first half of the year, the cumulative volume of express business in the domestic market was 80.16 billion pieces, a year-on-year increase of 23.1%, and the cumulative express business revenue was 653 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.1%. Since March 2024, the monthly business increment has exceeded 2 billion pieces. Especially during the “May Day” holiday (May 1st-5th) and the Dragon Boat Festival holiday (June 8th- 10th), the average daily express business volume increased by 32.7% and 25.6% year-on-year, respectively. Looking forward to the second half of the year, the fundamentals supporting the continued development of the domestic express industry will not change. There are still many favorable factors to promote industry growth. Policy dividends will continue to be effective, and policy documents issued by various regions and departments to expand domestic Page 14 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 demand and promote the rapid growth of new consumption will continue to exert force in the second half of the year. With the improvement of industry service quality and supply capacity, express services will reach more countries and regions, link more industries and enterprises, better meet more personalized and customized delivery needs, and the industry is expected to gain more market increments. The steady growth of the express industry scale continues to have a positive impact on the development of the domestic corrugated paper packaging industry. According to statistics, in 2023, the new production capacity of domestic corrugated paper and boxboard paper was 7.67 million tons, and the eliminated production capacity was 3.19 million tons, achieving a net new production capacity of 4.48 million tons. It is expected that there will still be about 6.6 million tons of new production capacity in 2024. Guided by the “large-scale equipment renewal” policy, a swift acceleration in equipment upgrades is anticipated within the domestic corrugated packaging sector. In February 2024, the Central Financial and Economic Affairs Commission held its fourth meeting to promote a new round of large-scale equipment renewal and consumer goods trade-in, explicitly mentioning the need to “promote the renewal and technological transformation of various types of production equipment and service equipment”. On March 1, the State Council executive meeting considered and passed the Issuing the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewals and Consumer Goods Trade-ins, proposing to “promote the proportion of advanced production capacity to continue to increase”. Over the years, China's corrugated packaging sector has largely consisted of numerous small- and medium- sized box manufacturers dominated by low-end production capacities, leading to a highly decentralized market and relatively low industry consolidation. Responding to the Party Central Committee and State Council's “large-scale equipment renewal” policy directive, the corrugated packaging industry anticipates a heightened pace of equipment modernization throughout the 14th Five-Year Plan period, with an expected surge in medium- to high-end production capacity proportions. With the continuous development of the downstream end consumption industry in China, the requirements of corporate customers for corrugated boxes gradually increase. In the corrugated packaging industry, market concentration and the phase-out of low-end production capacity is an inevitable trend, due to market competition, capacity upgrading, M&A, etc. It is estimated that the line machinery that is more intelligent and productive will replace the existing corrugated cardboard production lines and corrugated box printing and packaging production line equipment in the upcoming five to ten years. By statistics, there are over 6,000 existing corrugated cardboard production lines in the domestic market, and more corrugated box printing and packaging machinery. According to estimates, the overall market share of the domestic industry of the 15 listed corrugated paper packaging companies in China increased from 5.7% in 2017 to 10.9% in 2023. Statistics from the China Packaging Federation show that in 2023, there were 2,991 enterprises above designated size in the national paper and paperboard container manufacturing industry, a decrease of 164 from 2022, indicating a decrease in the number of enterprises above designated size. The above data shows that the concentration of the domestic corrugated paper packaging industry is continuously improving. In addition, the China Packaging Federation report shows that the domestic paper packaging industry achieved a profit of 10.867 billion yuan in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 35.65%, of which the industry achieved a profit of 6.879 billion yuan in the second half of 2023, with a significant Page 15 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 year-on-year increase in profits in the second half of 2023, and the trend of profit concentration towards leading enterprises is obvious. Digital and intelligent upgrading of the paper packaging and printing industry bring new development opportunities. The traditional production mode has caused domestic paper packaging and printing enterprises to be overly dependent on skilled technicians at critical positions and slow to identify the outdated management mode. The “strategy of robot assembling line” and “smart factory” are increasingly recognized by the industry. Amid intelligent manufacturing, the paper packaging and printing industry will usher in industrial upgrading and transformation. Additionally, leading packaging enterprises, including Xiamen Hexing Packaging Printing Co., Ltd. (HXPP), MYS Group Co. Ltd. (MYS), Shenzhen YUTO Packaging Technology Co., Ltd., and Shenzhen Jinjia Group Co., Ltd., have pushed ahead with Internet-based development in recent years by entering into intelligent manufacturing, cloud printing, or other markets, expected to launch a revolution in the Internet-based development of the paper packaging and printing industry and injecting new impetus into industry integration. Concurrently, amid intelligent manufacturing and Internet-based packaging, leading enterprises engaged in corrugated packaging machinery are also expected to embrace new development opportunities. Overseas demand is relatively steadily: In recent years when environmental pollution becomes more and more serious, growing environmental awareness has led to “plastic bans and restrictions” across the world, providing a major boost to paper as an alternative to plastic. England announced a ban on single-use plastics starting October 2023, covering items like disposable plastic plates, trays, bowls and utensils. France is phasing in bans on single-use plastic packaging for around 30 fruits and vegetables starting January 2022. The U.S. Department of the Interior announced that single-use plastics will be gradually phased out in national parks and other public lands by 2032. The global green packaging market is projected to grow from USD262.27 billion in 2023 to USD381.98 billion in 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.81% during the forecast period (2023-2028). The corrugated cardboard produced by corrugated cardboard production lines is used to make various corrugated boxes, corrugated cartons and other corrugated packaging materials, which are rigid consumer products in European and American countries. According to Statista data, the US e-commerce market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.7% from 2017 to 2027. The philosophy of “sustainability” is gaining ground in the European and US consumer goods packaging markets. With the growing trend of "replacing plastics with paper" in the packaging industry, demand for corrugated packaging materials in the European and US consumer goods markets continues to grow steadily, helping to drive demand for corrugated packaging production line equipment. 1.2 Supply side——the Company’s presence in the industry A.

Such a flexible and quick printing method has strengthened the competitiveness of customers in a competitive environment where every minute counts. With regard to pattern design, platemaking in traditional printing is not required in digital printing, allowing more freedom for design and enabling designers to give full play to their professionalism and tailor products to customers’ needs. 2. The industry to which the company's industrial Internet industry solutions business belongs According to the Classification of Strategic Emerging Industries (2018), Dongfang Precision’s “industrial Internet industry solutions” business division falls under the “industrial Internet and supporting services” industry. Policy side: The Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Deepening the “Internet plus Advanced Manufacturing” and Developing the Industrial Internet released by the State Council in 2017 marked China’s official entry into digital development from information-based development in terms of industries. “Accelerate the development of the industrial Internet” was proposed for the first time in the report on government work in 2018 and became a frequent visitor in the reports on government work for the next five years. In 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission stated that, as one of the new network infrastructure types, the industrial Internet is a part of the new infrastructure. Under the guidance of a range of policies, the industrial Internet and smart factory have become the strategic development orientation of the transformation and upgrading of China’s manufacturing. Page 18 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 Market side: China is the only country in the world whose industries cover all industrial categories in the United Nations’ industrial classification. Concurrently, it is expected to grow into the world’s largest industrial digitalization market. For the current manufacturing industry of China, digital transformation is no longer an “option” but a “compulsory course” that is critical to its survival and long-term development. As the manufacturing sector enters a “digital and intelligent” era, an increasing number of manufacturing enterprises have realized that buying production equipment, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, or manufacturing executive systems (MES) cannot meet the systematic requirements of intelligent manufacturing. By contrast, industrial Internet platforms can systematically resolve all critical issues that cannot be handled through traditional means. According to the Bluebook on the Digital Transformation of Enterprises--Empowering the Low- carbon and Green Transformation of the Real Economy with New IT released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, after relevant manufacturing enterprises complete digital transformation, on average, their production efficiency will be boosted by 37.6%, their operating expenses will be lowered by 21.2%, and their energy utilisation rate will be improved by 16.1%. Concurrently, with the rapid development and continuous iteration of the new-generation information technology, the cost of digital transformation of enterprises is gradually decreasing, and more and more industrial enterprises will implement industrial Internet-based digital transformation. According to the data released by Frost & Sullivan, the scale of the market of industrial Internet platforms and relevant solutions in China by 2025 is estimated to reach RMB193.12 billion. Between 2021 and 2025, the CAGR of the market of industrial Internet platforms and relevant solutions in China is approximately 45.3%. The Scale of the Market of Industrial Internet Platforms and Relevant Solutions and Forecast between 2020 and 2025 2,500 RMB'00 million 2,000 1,931.2 1,500 1,301.6 1,000 885.9 601.3 500 432.8 302.4 0 2020 2021 2022E 2023E 2024E 2025E Supply side:According to the White Paper on the Economic Development of the Industrial Internet Industry in China (2022), participants in the construction of industrial Internet platforms in China are diversified. Leading manufacturing enterprises, information and communications enterprises, and Internet-based enterprises build industrial Internet platforms in different dimensions and from different perspectives based on their own comparative Page 19 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 advantages, enabling China’s industrial Internet industry to enjoy industrial enterprises, ICT enterprises, and Internet enterprises at the same time. The key technologies and industries that the industrial Internet involves are extensive and complex and can hardly be fully covered by enterprises. Thus, developing the industrial Internet by relying on industrial manufacturing enterprises becomes a typical development path of industrial Internet enterprises, such as Root Cloud, Midea Cloud, and Baosight. In the packaging field, major manufacturers that provide industrial Internet-related products and solutions services include Yunyin, Dongfang Digicom, and Shanghai Wantit.

Decision-making risk: The Company's involvement in futures and derivatives trading is influenced by a variety of factors, including international and domestic economic policies, economic conditions, developments in the underlying commodity sectors, fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates. Furthermore, this type of trading is inherently complex and requires a high level of specialisation, thus carrying a certain degree of risk in trading decision-making processes. 2. Market risk: Financial markets are susceptible to macroeconomic conditions, industry cycles, and numerous other influences, causing linked underlyings in snowball products to fluctuate during holding periods, leading to variable valuations that could result in substantial gains or losses. Exchange rate movements are bi-directional; in the context of forward exchange rates, there's a possibility that locked-in forward exchange transactions may lead to settlement exchange rates below the company's book rate on the delivery date, potentially generating foreign exchange losses. Additionally, due to factors tied to futures and other derivative markets, futures prices and spot prices might exhibit discrepancies in timing and volatility, such that during the hedging period, related businesses could incur either additional profits or losses. 3. Liquidity risk: A sudden and extreme shift in the relevant price index, or managing excessively large positions, could potentially result in Risk analysis of positions held in derivatives during the untimely margin calls and force the liquidation of positions, thereby exposing the Company to liquidity risks.

Ⅹ. Possible risks and countermeasures 1. Risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates The main settlement currency and recording currency of Fosber Group, the principal overseas business entity of the Company, are euros, while the revenue of Fosber America and domestic entities from export is mainly settled with the US dollar. Fluctuations in the US dollar and euro exchange rates do not significantly impact the routine operation of overseas business entities but exert certain impacts on the presentation of their assets and operating results in the consolidated financial statements. In the first half of 2024, the RMB exchange rate exhibited a “rise first, then fall” curve. Factors such as domestic macroeconomic conditions and policies, changes in the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut expectations, global geopolitical and trade situation changes, central bank monetary policy changes, international balance of payments, inflation rates, and interest levels can all affect the RMB exchange rate. Under the comprehensive influence of multiple complex factors, the volatility of the RMB foreign exchange market has significantly increased. Countermeasures: The Company can closely track the global financial market and national exchange rate policies, make timely decisions to select proper exchange rate management tools to manage exchange rate risks actively. It can also reduce risk exposure and increase exchange gains by increasing debts of foreign currency and rely on Group management to strengthen the level of capital coordination in different countries and regions, balance, and offset fluctuation risks at the Group level. 2. Potential risks of financial investment business In recent years, the Company has arranged some of its idle owned funds to carry out financial investment business such as securities investment and entrusted wealth management in an appropriate manner, based on the actual and development needs. There are certain risks of carrying out the above business due to fluctuations in the financial market and uncertainty of income; and the risk that the Company may suffer certain investment losses in case of risk events in the process of wealth management activities in terms of investment strategies and use of funds. Countermeasures: 66 / 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd.

Semi-Annual Report 2024 III Corporate Background Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (the "Company"), a joint stock company with limited liability registered in Guangdong Province of the People's Republic of China and established on 9 December 1996, obtained a Business License for Enterprise Legal Person with a registration number of 440682000040868. In August 2011, upon the approval by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) in the Reply on Approving the Initial Public Offering of Shares by Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (ZH.J.X.K. [2011] No. 1237), the Company issued Renminbi-denominated ordinary shares to the public, and was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in the same month. The Company started to use the unified social credit code (914406002318313119) in 2016. The Company is headquartered in 2 Qiangshi Road, Shishan Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China. With “intelligent equipment manufacturing”as its primary strategic focus, Dongfang Precisionconcentrates on the manufacturingof high-end intelligent equipment. Its principal operations include “intelligent packaging equipment”and “water powersports equipment”. The “intelligent packaging equipmentbusiness”consists of smart corrugated packaging equipment, digital printers, and industrial Internet industry solutions. The actual controllers of the Company are Tang Zhuolin and Tang Zhuomian. These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on 25 July mar2024. IV.Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with China’s “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises — Basic Standards” promulgated by the Ministry of Finance and the specific accounting standards, application guidance, interpretations and other relevant regulations issued or amended thereafter (hereafter collectively referred to as “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises” or “CAS”). In addition, the financial statements also disclose relevant financial information in accordance with the Rules No. 15 for the Preparation of Information Disclosure by Companies Offering Securities to the Public - General Provisions on Financial Reports. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. Page 118 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates The Group has formulated specific accounting policies and accounting estimates according to the characteristics of its actual production and operation, which is mainly embodied in the provision for the bad debt of accounts receivable, provision for write-down of inventories, depreciation of fixed assets, provision for product warranties, capitalization conditions for expenditure on the development phase of research and development expenses and recognition and measurement of revenue. 1. Statement of compliance The financial statements present truly and completely the financial positions of the Group and the Company as at 30 June 2024, and the financial performance and the cash flows for the 1 st half of 2024 then ended in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises. 2. Accounting year The accounting year of the Group is from 1 January to 31 December of each calendar year. 3. Functional currency The Group’s functional currency and the currency used in preparing the financial statements were Renminbi. The amounts in the financial statements were denominated in Renminbi yuan, unless otherwise stated. 4. Determination method and selection basis of materiality criteria Materiality criteria Significant construction in Budgeted amount for investment exceeds RMB50,000,000 progress Significant cash flows from Amount exceeds RMB50,000,000 investing activities Significant non-wholly owned Net assets of non-wholly owned subsidiaries account for subsidiaries more than 10% of consolidated net assets Significant associates The carrying amount of long-term equity investments in associates accounts for more than 5% of the consolidated net assets 5. Business combination Business combinations are classified into business combinations involving entities under common control and business combinations not involving entities under common control. Business combinations involving entities under common control A business combination involving entities under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory. Page 119 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 5. Business combination (cont’d) Business combinations involving entities under common control (cont’d) Assets and liabilities obtained by combining party in the business combination involving entities under common control (including goodwill arising from the acquisition of the merged party by the ultimate controller) are recognized on the basis of their carrying amounts at the combination date recorded on the financial statements of the ultimate controlling party. The difference between the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (or aggregate face values of the shares issued) and the carrying amount of the net assets obtained is adjusted to capital surplus. If the capital surplus are not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess is adjusted to retained earnings. Business combinations not involving entities under common control A business combination not involving entities under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the sum of the consideration paid (or equities issued) for business combination and equity interests in the acquiree held prior to the date of acquisition over the share of the attributable net identifiable assets of the acquiree, measured at fair value, was recognized as goodwill, which is subsequently measured at cost less cumulative impairment loss. In case the fair value of the sum of the consideration paid (or equities issued) and equity interests in the acquire held prior to the date of acquisition is less than the fair value of the share of the attributable net identifiable assets of the acquiree, a review of the measurement of the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, the consideration paid for the combination (or equity issued) and the equity interests in the acquiree held prior to the date of acquisition is conducted. If the review indicates that the fair value of the sum of the consideration paid (or equities issued) and equity interests in the acquiree held prior to the date of acquisition is indeed less than the fair value of the share of the attributable net identifiable assets of the acquiree, the difference is recognized in profit or loss. 6. Consolidated financial statements The consolidation scope for consolidated financial statements is determined based on the concept of control, including the Company and all subsidiaries’ financial statements. Subsidiaries are those enterprises or entities which the Company has control over (including enterprises, separable components of investee units and structured entities controlled by the Company). An investor controls an investee when the investor is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. Any inconsistent accounting policies have been adjusted to become consistent with the Company’s accounting policies. All assets, liabilities, equities, revenues, costs and cash flows arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Page 120 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 6. Consolidated financial statements (cont’d) The excess of current loss attributable to non-controlling shareholders of a subsidiary over their entitlements to the opening balance of equity shall be charged to non-controlling interests. For subsidiaries obtained through a business combination not involving entities under common control, the operating results and cash flows of the acquirees will be recognized in consolidated financial statements from the date the Group effectively obtains the control until the date that control is terminated. When consolidated financial statement is prepared, the subsidiaries’ financial statements will be adjusted based on the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the acquisition date. For subsidiaries acquired through combination of entities under common control, the business results and cash flows of the combined entities are included in the consolidated financial statements from the beginning of the period in which the combination occurred. When preparing and comparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group makes adjustments to relevant items of the financial statements of the previous period, deeming the reporting entity formed through combination as existing since initial implementation of control by the ultimate controlling party. In the event of the change in one or more elements of control as a result of changes in relevant facts and conditions, the Group reassesses whether it has control over the investee. If the control right is not lost, the change of minority shareholders' equity shall be regarded as equity transaction. 7. Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises cash on hand and deposits readily available for payments. Cash equivalents represent short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 8. Foreign currency translation For foreign currency transactions, the Group translates the foreign currency into its functional currency. Upon initial recognition, foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rate of the dates on which transactions occur. At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The translation differences arising from the settlement and foreign currency monetary items are recognized in profit or loss. Also at the balance sheet date, foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be translated using the spot exchange rate at the dates of the transactions and it does not change its carrying amount in functional currency. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the spot exchange rate. The differences arising from the above translations are recognized in current profit or loss or other comprehensive income according to the nature of foreign currency non-monetary items. Page 121 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 8. Foreign currency translation (cont’d) The Group translates the functional currencies of foreign operations into Renminbi when preparing the financial statements. Asset and liability items in the balance sheet are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Equity items, except for retained earnings, are translated at the spot exchange rates at the date when such items arose. Revenue and expense items in the income statement are translated using the average exchange rate for the periods when transactions occur. Translation differences arising from the aforesaid translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currency shall be recognized as other comprehensive income. When foreign operations are disposed, other comprehensive income relating to the foreign operation is transferred to current profit or loss. Partial disposal shall be recognized on a pro-rata basis. Cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and foreign subsidiaries’ cash flows are translated using the average exchange rate for the period when cash flows occur. The impact on cash by the fluctuation of exchange rates is presented as a separate line item of reconciliation in the statement of cash flows. 9. Financial instruments Financial instruments refer to the contracts which give rise to a financial asset in one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument in another entity. Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A financial asset (or part of it, or a part of a group of similar financial asset) is derecognized when one of the following criteria is met, that is, when a financial asset is written off from its account and balance sheet: (1) The right of receiving the cash flow generated from the financial asset has expired; (2) The right of receiving cash flow generated by the financial assets is transferred, or an obligation of paying the full amount of cash flow received to third parties in a timely manner has been undertaken under “pass- through” agreements, where (a) substantially all risks and rewards of the ownership of such type of financial assets have been transferred, or (b) control over such type of financial assets has not been retained even though substantially all risks and rewards of the ownership of such type of financial assets have been neither transferred nor retained. If the obligation of financial liability has been fulfilled, cancelled or expired, the financial liability is derecognized. If the present financial liability is substituted by the same debtee with another liability differing in substance, or the terms of the present liability have been substantially modified, this substitution or modification is treated as derecognition of a present liability and recognition of a new liability with any arising differences recognized in profit or loss. Conventional dealings in financial assets are recognized or derecognized under the trade day accounting method. Conventional dealings refer to the receipt or delivery of financial assets within periods stipulated by the law and according to usual practices. The trade day is the date on which the Group undertakes to buy or sell a financial asset. Page 122 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 9. Financial instruments (cont’d) Classification and measurement of financial assets At initial recognition, the Group classifies its financial assets into: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at amortized cost, or financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, according to the Group’s business model for managing financial assets and the contract cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. When and only when the Group changes its business model of managing financial assets, all relevant financial assets affected will be re-classified. Financial assets are measured at fair value on initial recognition, but if the accounts receivable or notes receivable generated from the sales of goods or provision of services do not contain significant financing components or do not consider financing components of no longer than one year, the initial measurement will be based on the transaction price. For financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the relevant transaction costs are directly recognized in profit or loss; for other financial assets, the relevant transaction costs are recognized in their initial recognition amount. The subsequent measurement of financial assets is dependent on its classification: Debt instruments measured at amortized cost Financial assets fulfilling all of the following conditions are classified as financial assets at amortized cost: the objective of the Group’s business management model in respect of such type of financial assets is to generate contract cash flow; the contract terms of such type of financial assets provide that cash flow generated on specific dates represents interest payment in relation to principal amounts based on outstanding principal amounts only. Interest income from such type of financial assets are recognized using the effective interest rate method, and any profit or loss arising from derecognition, amendments or impairment shall be charged to current profit or loss. Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income Financial assets fulfilling all of the following conditions are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: the objective of the Group’s business management model in respect of such type of financial assets is both to generate contract cash flow and to sell such type of financial assets; the contract terms of such type of financial assets provide that cash flow generated on specific dates represents interest payment in relation to principal amounts based on outstanding principal amounts only. Interest income from this type of financial assets is recognized using the effective interest rate method. Other than interest income, impairment loss and exchange differences which shall be recognized as current profit or loss, other fair value changes shall be included in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition of the financial assets, the cumulative gains or losses previously included in other comprehensive income shall be transferred from other comprehensive income to current profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Other than financial assets measured at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income as aforementioned, all financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which are subsequently measured at fair value, any changes of which are recognized in current profit or loss. Page 123 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 9. Financial instruments (cont’d) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities The Group classifies its financial liabilities at initial recognition: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and other financial liabilities. For financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the relevant transaction costs are directly recognized in profit or loss; for other financial liabilities, the relevant transaction costs are recognized in their initial recognition amount. The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities is dependent on its classification: Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include mainly financial liabilities held for trading(comprising derivatives classified as financial liabilities). Financial liabilities held for trading (comprising derivatives classified as financial liabilities) are subsequently measured at fair value and all changes are recognized in current profit or loss. Other financial liabilities Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Impairment of financial instruments The Group performs impairment treatment on financial assets at amortized cost, debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income and contract assets based on expected credit losses (ECL) and recognizes allowances for losses. For receivables and contract assets that do not contain significant financing components, the Group adopts a simplified measurement method to measure allowances for losses based on an amount equivalent to the lifetime expected credit losses. Financial assets other than those measured with simplified valuation methods, the Group evaluates at each balance sheet date whether its credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition. The period during which credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition is considered the first stage, at which the Group shall measure loss allowance based on the amount of expected credit loss for the next 12 months and shall compute interest income according to the book balance and effective interest rate; the period during which credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition although no credit impairment has occurred is considered the second stage, at which the Group shall measure loss allowance based on the amount of expected credit loss for the entire valid period and shall compute interest income according to the book balance and effective interest rate; The period during which credit impairment has occurred after initial recognition is considered the third stage, at which the Group shall measure loss allowance based on the amount of the lifetime expected credit loss and shall compute interest income according to the amortized cost and effective interest rate. The Group estimates the expected credit loss of financial instruments individually and on a group basis. The Group considers the credit risk features of different customers and estimates the expected credit losses of financial instruments based on aging portfolio. Page 124 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 9. Financial instruments (cont’d) Impairment of financial instruments (cont’d) For the Group’s criteria for judging whether credit risks have significantly increased, the definition of assets subjected to credit impairment, and assumptions underlying the measurement of expected credit losses, please refer to Note IX.2. The Group's approach to measuring ECLs on financial instruments reflects factors such as the unbiased probability-weighted average amount determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information about past events, current conditions and projections of future economic conditions available at the balance sheet date without undue additional cost or effort. When the Group no longer reasonably expects to be able to fully or partially recover the contract cash flow of financial assets, the Group directly writes down the book balance of such financial assets. Derivative financial instruments The Group uses derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments shall be directly recognized in current profit or loss. Transfer of financial assets If the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of a financial asset to the transferee, the asset should be derecognized. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset, the asset should not be derecognized. When the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, it may either derecognize the financial asset and recognize any associated assets and liabilities if control of the financial asset has not been retained; or recognizes the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognizes an associated liability if control has been retained. Assets formed by the continuing involvement by way of the provision of financial guarantee in respect of the transferred financial assets shall be recognized as the lower of the carrying value of the financial asset and the amount of financial guarantee. The amount of financial guarantee means the maximum amount among considerations received to be required for repayment. Page 125 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 10. Inventories Inventories include raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods, product deliveries, semi-finished goods, materials consigned for processing, etc. Inventories are initially recorded at costs. Inventories’ costs include purchasing costs, processing costs and other costs. Actual costs of product deliveries are recognized using the weighted average method. Turnover materials include low-value consumables, packaging materials, etc., which are expensed in full. The Group adopts the perpetual inventory system. Inventories on the balance sheet date are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Inventory valuation allowance is made and recognized in profit or loss when the net realisable value is lower than cost. Net realizable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale and related taxes. Valuation allowances for raw materials are established by category, and those for finished goods by individual item. For inventories that relate to products produced and sold in the same region, have the same or similar ultimate purpose, and are difficult to separate in measurement, valuation allowances are established on a combined basis. Page 126 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 11. Long-term equity investments Long-term equity investments include equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. Long-term equity investments were recorded at initial investment cost on acquisition. For long-term equity investments acquired through the business combination of entities under common control, the initial investment cost shall be the share of carrying value of the equity of the merged party at the date of combination as stated in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party. Any difference between the initial investment cost and the carrying value of the consideration for the combination shall be dealt with by adjusting the capital surplus(if the capital surplus are insufficient for setting off the difference, such difference shall be further set off against retained earnings). Upon disposal of the investment, other comprehensive income prior to the date of combination shall be dealt with on the same basis as if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of directly by the investee. Equity recognized as a result of changes in equity other than the set-off of profit and loss, other comprehensive income and profit allocation of the investee shall be transferred to current profit and loss upon disposal of the investment. Items which remain long-term equity investments after the disposal shall be accounted for on a pro-rata basis, while items reclassified as financial instruments following the disposal shall be accounted for in full. For long-term equity investments acquired through the business combination of entities not under common control, the initial investment cost shall be the cost of combination (for business combinations of entities not under common control achieved in stages through multiple transactions, the initial investment cost shall be the sum of the carrying value of the equity investment in the acquired party held at the date of acquisition and new investment cost incurred as at the date of acquisition). The cost of combination shall be the sum of assets contributed by the acquiring party, liabilities incurred or assumed by the acquiring party and the fair value of equity securities issued. Upon disposal of the investment, other comprehensive income recognized under the equity method held prior to the date of acquisition shall be dealt with on the same basis as if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of directly by the investee. Equity recognized as a result of changes in equity other than the set-off of profit and loss, other comprehensive income and profit allocation of the investee shall be transferred to current profit and loss upon disposal of the investment. Items which remain long-term equity investments after the disposal shall be accounted for on a pro-rata basis, while items reclassified as financial instruments following the disposal shall be accounted for in full. The initial investment cost of long-term equity investments other than those acquired through business combination shall be recognized in accordance with the following: for those acquired by way of cash payments, the initial investment cost shall be the consideration actually paid plus expenses, tax amounts and other necessary outgoings directly related to the acquisition of the long-term equity investments. In the financial statements of the Company, the cost method is used for long term equity investments in investees over which the Company exercises control. Control is defined as the power exercisable over the investee, the entitlement to variable return through involvement in the activities of the investee and the ability to influence the amount of return using the power over the investee. When the cost method is used, long-term equity investments are measured at initial cost on acquisition. When additional investments are made or investments are recouped, the cost of longterm equity investments shall be adjusted. Cash dividend or profit distribution declared by the investee shall be recognized as investment income for the period. Page 127 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 11. Long-term equity investments (cont’d) The equity method is used to account for long-term equity investments when the Group can jointly control or has significant influence over the invested entity. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Significant influence means having the authority to take part in the decision over the financial and operational policies but not the authority to control or jointly control with other parties the formulation of such policies. Under the equity method, any excess of the initial investment cost over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the investment’s identifiable assets and liabilities is included in the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment. When the carrying amount of the investment is less than the Company’s share of the fair value of the investment’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognized in profit or loss of the current period and debited to long-term equity investments. Under the equity method, after the long-term equity investments are acquired, investment gains or losses and other comprehensive income are recognized according to the entitled share of net profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the investee and the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. When recognising the Group’s share of the net profit or loss of the invested entity, the Group makes adjustments based on fair values of the investees’ identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy and accounting period to investee’s net profits, eliminating pro-rata profit or loss from internal transactions with associates and joint ventures attributed to investor (except that loss from inter-group transactions deemed as asset impairment loss shall be fully recognized), provided that invested or sold assets constituting businesses shall be excluded. When the invested enterprise declares profit distribution or cash dividends, the carrying amount of investment is adjusted down by the Group’s share of the profit distribution and dividends. The Group shall derecognize its share of the losses of the investee after the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that in substance forms part of the Group’s net investment in the investee are reduced to zero, except to the extent that the Group has incurred obligations to assume additional losses. The Group also adjusts the carrying amount of long-term equity investments for other changes in owner’s equity of the investees (other than the net-off of net profits or losses, other comprehensive income and profit distribution of the investee), and includes the corresponding adjustment in equity. 12. Fixed assets A fixed asset is recognized when, and only when, it is probable that future economic benefits that are associated with the fixed asset will flow to the Group and the cost can be measured reliably. Subsequent expenditures related to a fixed asset are recognized in the carrying amount of the fixed asset if the above recognition criteria are met, and the carrying value of the replaced part is derecognized; otherwise, those expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Fixed assets are initially recognized at cost. Cost of purchased fixed assets includes purchasing price, relevant taxes, and any directly attributable expenditure for bringing the asset to working conditions for its intended use. Page 128 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 12. Fixed assets (cont’d) Except for those incurred by using the accrued expenses for safety production, fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, and the respective estimated useful lives, estimated residual value ratios and annual depreciation rates are as follows: Estimated residual Annual Useful life value ratio depreciation rate Buildings and constructions 20-40 years 5.00% 2.38%-4.75% Machinery 5-18 years 5.00% 5.28%-19.00% Transportation equipment 5-10 years 5.00% 9.5%-19.00% Electronic equipment 3-10 years 5.00% 9.5%-31.67% Office equipment 3-10 years 5.00% 9.5%-31.67% Other equipment 5-10 years 5.00% 9.5%-19.00% The Group reviews, at least at each year end, useful lives, estimated residual values, and depreciation methods of fixed assets and makes adjustments if necessary. 13. Construction in progress Construction in progress is measured at the actual construction expenditures, including necessary project work expenses incurred during the period while construction is in progress, and other related fees. The criteria for construction in progress to be transferred to fixed assets when it is ready for its intended use are as follows: Criteria Buildings and constructions Actual start of use The earlier of actual start of use/completion Machinery of installation and acceptance 14. Borrowing costs The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized. The amounts of other borrowing costs incurred are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. The Group has no borrowing costs eligible for capitalization in the current year. Page 129 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 15. Intangible assets Overseas land use rights and trademark rights are intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Impairment tests shall be conducted annually regardless of whether there are indications of impairment. Such intangible assets shall not be amortized and their useful life shall be reviewed during each accounting period. If there is evidence suggesting that their useful life is limited, accounting treatment will be performed according to the above policy on intangible assets with definite useful life. Other intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives as follows: Useful life Determination basis Land use rights 40-50 years Term of land use right The shorter of the term of trademark Trademark 5-10 years rights/expected term of use Patent 5-10 years Expected benefit period The land ownership of Fosber S.p.A. ("Fosber Group"), a subsidiary of the Company, in Italy has a permanent term, and the Company believes that the land ownership will be used and will bring expected inflows of economic benefits to the Company in the foreseeable future, so its useful life is regarded as indefinite. The trademarks registered by subsidiaries Fosber Group and Fosber America, Inc. ("Fosber America") have a useful life in accordance with the law, but at the expiration of the protection period, Fosber Group and Fosber America can apply for an extension at low service charges, so the Company will benefit from the above trademarks in the long term. Thus, the Company recognized the trademark use right as intangible assets with indefinite useful life. The useful life of intangible assets with indefinite useful life will be reviewed at the end of each year. After review, the useful life of the above intangible assets is still uncertain. The Group classifies the expenses for internal research and development as research costs and development costs. All research costs are charged to the current profit or loss as incurred. Expenditure incurred on projects to develop new products is capitalized and deferred only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits (including demonstration that the product derived from the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself will be marketable or, in the case of internal use, the usefulness of the intangible asset as such), the availability of technical and financial resources to complete the project and procure the use or sale of the intangible asset, and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. Development costs which do not meet these criteria is recognized in profit or loss when incurred. After meeting the above conditions, passing the technical feasibility and economic feasibility study, the corresponding projects of the Group enter the development stage and begin to be capitalized after being reviewed and approved.

Impairment The Group assesses impairment of assets other than inventories, contract assets and assets related to contract costs, deferred tax assets and financial assets, using the methods described below: Impairment of assets (other than the impairment of inventories, contract assets and contract cost assets, investment properties measured using the fair value model, deferred tax assets, and financial assets ) is determined in the following way: the Group assesses at the balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired; if any indication exists that an asset may be impaired, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset and performs impairment testing; goodwill arising from a business combination, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least at each year end, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its present value of estimated future cash flows. The Group estimates recoverable value for individual assets. When it is difficult to estimate individually, the recoverable value of the cash generating units which the asset belongs to will be estimated. The definition of cash generating units is determined on the basis of whether the cash generating units generate cash flows which are largely independent of those from other cash generating units. Where the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognized in profit or loss and allowance for impairment is made accordingly. In connection with impairment tests for goodwill, the carrying value of goodwill arising from business combination is allocated to relevant cash generating units (“CGU”) from the date of acquisition on a reasonable basis. If it is difficult to allocate such goodwill to a relevant CGU, it should be allocated to a relevant CGU group. A relevant CGU or CGU group is defined as one which can benefit from the synergies of the business combination and is not larger than the reporting segments determined by the Group. In connection with impairment tests for CGUs or CGU groups that comprise goodwill, where indications of impairment exists in a CGU or CGU group related to goodwill, impairment tests should be performed first on CGUs or CGU groups that do not comprise goodwill and recognize impairment loss after estimating the recoverable amount. Then impairment tests on CGUs or CGU groups that comprise goodwill should be performed and the carrying value and recoverable amount should be compared. Where the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value, the impairment loss should first be offset against the carrying value of the goodwill allocated to CGUs or CGU groups and then against assets in the CGUs or CGU groups other than goodwill in proportion to the weighting of these assets. Previously recognized impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods. Page 131 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 17. Long-term prepaid expenses Long-term prepaid expenses are amortized using the straight-line method, with the amortization periods as follows: Amortization period Decoration expenditures 3-5 years Amortization of moulds 3 years Other expenditures 3-5 years 18. Employee benefits Employee benefits include all kinds of rewards or compensation incurred by the Group in exchange for service rendered by employees or in the termination of employment, other than share-based payment. Employee benefits include short-term benefits, retirement benefits, dismission benefits and other long-term employees’ benefits. Benefits provided by the Group to the spouses, children and dependents of employees and families of deceased employees are also a part of employee benefits. Short-term benefits For accounting periods during which services are rendered by employees, short-term benefits that will incur is recognized as liability and included in profit and loss or related capital costs. Retirement benefits (defined contribution schemes) Employees of the Group participated in pension insurance and unemployment insurance schemes managed by the local government. The contribution costs are charged as asset cost or to profit or loss when incurred. Retirement benefits (defined benefit schemes) The Group operates a defined benefit pension scheme, which requires payments to an independently operated fund. No funds have been injected into the scheme. The cost of benefits provided under the defined benefit scheme is calculated using the expected benefit accrual unit approach. Remeasurement arising from defined benefit pension schemes, including actuarial gains or losses, changes in the asset cap effect (deducting amounts included in net interest on net liabilities of the defined benefit schemes) and return on scheme assets (deducting amounts included in net interest on net liabilities of the defined benefit schemes) are instantly recognized in the balance sheet and charged to equity through other comprehensive income for the period during which it is incurred. It will not be reversed to profit and loss in subsequent periods. Previous service costs are recognized as current expenses when: the defined benefit scheme is revised, or relevant restructuring costs or dismission benefits are recognized by the Group, whichever earlier. Page 132 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 18. Employee benefits (cont’d) Retirement benefits (defined benefit schemes) (cont’d) Net interest is arrived at by multiplying net liabilities or net assets of defined benefits with a discount rate. Changes in net obligations of defined benefits are recognized as cost of sales, administrative expenses, R&D expenses, selling expenses and finance costs in the income statement. Service costs included current services costs, past service costs and settlement of profit or loss. Net interest included interest income from scheme assets, interest expenses for scheme obligations and interest of the asset cap effect. 19. Provisions Other than contingent consideration and assumed contingent liabilities in a business combination not involving entities under common control, the Group recognizes as provision an obligation that is related to contingent matters when all of the following criteria are fulfilled: (1) the obligation is a present obligation of the Group; (2) the obligation would probably result in an outflow of economic benefits from the Group; (3) the obligation could be reliably measured. Provisions are initially measured according to the best estimate of expenses on fulfilling the current liabilities, in connection with the risk, uncertainty and timing value of the currency. The carrying value of the provisions would be reassessed on every balance sheet date. The carrying value will be adjusted to the best estimated value if there is certain evidence that the current carrying value is not the best estimate. The contingent liabilities obtained from a business combination not involving entities under common control shall be measured at fair value at the time of initial recognition. After the initial recognition, according to the amount confirmed by provisions and the balance of the initial recognition amount after deducting the accumulated amortization determined by the revenue recognition principle, the higher of the two shall prevail for subsequent measurements. 20. Share-based payments Share-based payments can be distinguished into equity-settled share-based payments and cash-settled share-based payments. Equity-settled share-based payments are transactions of the Group settled through the payment of shares or other equity instruments in consideration for receiving services. Equity-settled share-based payments made in exchange for services rendered by employees are measured at the fair value of equity instruments granted to employees. Instruments which are vested immediately upon the grant are charged to relevant costs or expenses at the fair value on the date of grant and the capital surplus are credited accordingly. Instruments of which vesting is conditional upon completion of services or fulfillment of performance conditions are measured by recognising services rendered during the period in relevant costs or expenses and crediting the capital surplus accordingly at the fair value on the date of grant according to the best estimates of the number of exercisable equity instruments conducted by the Group at each balance sheet date during the pending period. The fair value of equity instruments is determined using the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Page 133 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 21. Revenue generating from contracts with customers The Group recognizes its revenue upon the fulfilment of contractual performance obligations under a contract, namely, when the customer obtains control over the relevant products or services. The acquisition control over relevant products or services shall mean the ability to direct the use of the products or the provision of the services and receive substantially all economic benefits derived therefrom. Contract for the sales of products The product sales contract between the Group and its customers typically includes different contractual performance obligations for the transfer of products and the rendering of services. With respect to the sales of products, the Group typically recognizes its revenue at the time when the customer takes control over the products, taking into account the following factors: the acquisition of the current right to receive payments for the products, the transfer of major risks and rewards of ownership, the transfer of the legal title of the products, the transfer of the physical assets of the products, and customers’ acceptance of the products. Contract for the rendering of installation services The service contract between the Group and its customers includes contractual performance obligations for installation services. As the customer is able to forthwith obtain and consume the economic benefits brought by the Group’s contractual performance when the Group performs a contract, the Group considers such contractual performance obligations to be obligations performed over a period of time, and revenue shall be recognized on each balance sheet date according to the progress of installation. Significant financing component Where a contract contains a significant financing component, the Group determines transaction prices based on amounts payable assumed to be settled in cash by customers immediately upon the acquisition of control over the products or services. The difference between such transaction price and contract consideration is amortized over the contract period using the effective interest method based on a ratio that discounts the nominal contractual consideration to the current selling price of the products or services. The Group shall not give consideration to any significant financing component in a contract if the gap between the customer’s acquisition of control over the products or services and payment of consideration is expected to be less than 1 year. Warranty clauses The Group provides quality assurance for products sold in accordance with contract terms and laws and regulations. The accounting treatment of quality assurance in the form of warranty assuring customers products sold are in compliance with required standards is set out in Note III.20. Where the Group provides a service warranty for a standalone service in addition to the assurance of compliance of products with required standards, such warranty is treated as a standalone contractual performance obligation, and a portion of the transaction price shall be allocated to the service warranty based on a percentage of the standalone price for the provision of product and service warranty. When assessing whether a warranty is rendering a standalone service in addition to providing guarantee to customers that all sold goods are in compliance with required standards, the Group will consider whether or not such warranty is a statutory requirement, the term of the warranty and the nature of the Group’s undertaking to perform its obligations. Page 134 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 22. Contract assets and contract liabilities The Group presents contract assets or contract liabilities on the balance sheet according to the relationship between contractual performance obligations and customer payments. Contract assets Contract assets are the right to receive consideration following the transfer of products or services to customers which is dependent on factors other than the passage of time. For details of the Group’s determination and accounting treatment of expected credit losses from contract assets, please refer to Note III.8. Contract liabilities Contract liabilities are the obligation to pass products or services to customers in connection with customer consideration received or receivable, for example, amounts received prior to the transfer of the promised products or services. 23. Assets relating to contract cost The Group’s assets relating to contract costs include the contract acquisition costs and contract performance costs. The costs are presented in inventory, other current assets or other non-current assets based on liquidity of the assets. Where the Group expects the incremental costs for acquiring a contract to be recoverable, such contract acquisition costs are recognized as an asset (unless the amortisation period of the asset is not more than 1 year). Costs incurred by the Group for the performance of a contract are recognized as an asset as contract performance costs if they do not fall under the scope of the relevant standards for inventories, fixed assets or intangible assets but meet all the following conditions: (1) they are directly related to a current or anticipated contract, including direct labour, direct materials, manufacturing expenses (or similar expenses), to be borne by customers as specifically stipulated, and otherwise incurred solely in connection with the contract; (2) they will increase the resources to be utilized in the Company’s future performance of its contractual obligations; (3) they are expected to be recoverable. 24. Government grants Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. The grant is measured as the amount received or receivable where it takes the form of a cash asset, or at fair value where it is not a cash asset. Where the fair value cannot be reliably obtained, it should be measured at the nominal value. In accordance with the stipulations of the government instruments, government grants applied towards acquisition or the formation of long-term assets in other manners are asset-related government grants; the instruments unspecifically refer to the exercise of judgement based on the basic conditions for receiving the asset-related grant applied towards or the formation of long-term assets in other manners. All other grants are recognized as income- related government grants. Page 135 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 24. Government grants (cont’d) Government grants relating to income and applied to make up for related costs or losses in future periods shall be recognized as deferred income, and shall be recognized in profit or loss of the period for which related costs or loss are recognized. Government grants specifically applied for the reimbursement of incurred related costs and expenses shall be directly recognized in profit or loss. Government grants relating to assets shall offset the carrying amount of related assets, or be recognized as deferred income and credited to profit or loss over the useful life of the asset concerned by reasonable and systematic instalments (provided that government grants measured at nominal value shall be directly recognized in profit or loss). Where the asset concerned is disposed of, transferred, retired or damaged prior to the end of its useful life, the balance of the deferred income yet to be allocated shall be transferred to “asset disposal” under current profit or loss. 25. Deferred tax assets The Group recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences using the balance sheet liability method. Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amount of assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and their tax base on the balance sheet date. Temporary differences also include the differences between the carrying values and tax bases of items not recognized as assets or liabilities where the tax base can be calculated according to the relevant tax regulations. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except: (1) where the taxable temporary difference arises from goodwill or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; (2) in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized except: (1) where the deductible temporary difference arises from transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; (2) deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures are recognized when all following conditions are met: it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future, it is probable that taxable profit against the deductible temporary differences will be available. Page 136 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 25. Deferred tax assets (cont’d) As at balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured in accordance with relevant tax laws at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, and reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover the assets or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset and presented as a net amount if all of the following conditions are met: the Group has the legal right to set off the current income tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities, provided that the taxable entity concerned intends either to settle current income tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered. 26. Leases At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. As lessee The Group recognizes leases as the right-of-use asset and lease liabilities, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Right-of-use assets At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises: (1) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; (2) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received; (3) any initial direct cost incurred; (4) an estimate of costs incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis subsequently by the Group. If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. Otherwise, the right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. Page 137 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 26. Leases (cont’d) Lease liabilities At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases. Lease payments include constant payments and the substantial constant payments net of lease incentives, variable lease payments that depend on an index or ratio, the estimated payables of guaranteed residual value, and also include the exercise price of the purchase option or the amount to be paid upon vest of the termination option, provided that the Group is reasonably certain that the option will be vested or that the lease term reflects that the Group will exercise the termination option. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Group uses the interest rate implicit in the lease as the discount rate. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The Group calculates the interest expenses of the lease liability in each period during the lease term using the constant periodic rate of interest, and recognizes such interest expenses in profit or loss, except those that in the related asset costs as required. Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of the lease assets are recognized in profit or loss as incurred, except those that shall be included in the related asset costs as required. After the commencement date, the Group increases the book value of the lease liability when interest is recognized and decreases the book value of the lease liability when lease payments are made. In the event of any change to the substantial constant payments, the estimated payables of guaranteed residual value, the index or ratio used to determine lease payments, the assessment results or actual vesting of the purchase option, the renewal option or the termination option, the Group remeasures the lease liability at the present value of the modified lease payments. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets A short-term lease is a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less, and does not contains any purchase option. The Group does not recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for buildings short-term leases. The Group recognizes lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets in the related asset costs or profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As a lessor A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset, except that a lease is classified as an operating lease at the inception date. As a lessor of operating leases Rental income of operating leases is recognized in current profit or loss over the respective periods during the lease term on a straight-line basis, while variable lease payment not included in lease receipts is charged to profit or loss as and when incurred. Initial direct costs are capitalised and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income, through profit or loss. Page 138 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 27. Share repurchase The consideration and transaction costs paid to repurchase equity instruments are charged against owner’s equity. Except for share-based payments, the issue (including refinancing), repurchase, disposal or retirement of the Company’s own equity instruments are accounted for as changes in equity. 28. Expenses for safety production The expenses for safety production set side as stipulated shall be included in the cost of relevant products or current profits and losses, and included in the special reserve at the same time. When such expenses are used, accounting treatment will be performed according to whether fixed assets are formed. If identified as expense expenditures, the special reserve will be written down directly; if fixed assets are formed, the expenses incurred will be collected, fixed assets will be recognized when they reach a predetermined usable state, and the equivalent amount of special reserve will be written down and the equivalent accumulated depreciation will be recognized. 29. Put option related to non-controlling interests In the process of acquiring majority equity of subsidiaries, the Group grants to minority shareholders the option to sell the shares of subsidiaries held by them to the Group (put option). The Group recognizes the shares of subsidiaries held by minority shareholders as non-controlling interests in its consolidated financial statements; for the put option, the Group undertakes the obligation to redeem the shares of the subsidiaries held by minority shareholders in cash. The Group removes the present value of the amount payable to redeem the put option from its equity (excluding non-controlling interests) and classifies it as financial liability, which is remeasured in subsequent periods at the present value of the the amount payable to redeem the put option and recognized in profit or loss. 30. Fair value measurement At each balance sheet date, the Group measures the fair value of derivative financial instruments and equity instrument investments. Fair value means the price receivable from the disposal of an asset or required to be paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction incurred by market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy to which an asset or liability measured or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value will be determined on the basis of the lowest level of input which is significant for the fair value measurement as a whole. Input at the first level represents unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for the acquisition of the same asset or liability on the measurement date. Input at the second level represents directly or indirectly observable assets or liabilities apart from input at the first level. Input at the third level represents unobservable input for the asset or liability. At each balance sheet date, the Group reassesses assets and liabilities measured at fair value on an ongoing basis recognized in the financial statements to determine whether the level of fair value measurement should be changed. Page 139 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 31. Significant accounting judgements and estimates The preparation of financial statements requires judgement and estimation of the management. Such judgement and estimation will affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the balance sheet date. However, the consequence arising from the uncertain nature of such estimation may result in significant adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or liability affected in the future. Judgement In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements: Determination of standalone contractual performance obligations The intelligent packaging equipment (printers and corrugators) business of the Group includes four kinds of product or service commitments, i.e. the sale, installation, transportation and insurance services of machinery. As the customer can benefit from the individual use of the four kinds of products or services or their use together with other readily available resources and such product or service commitments are distinctly separable from other products or service commitments, the aforesaid product or service commitments constitute standalone contractual performance obligations respectively. Business model The classification of financial assets at initial recognition is dependent on the Group’s business model for managing the assets. Factors considered by the Group in judging the business model include enterprise valuation, the method of reporting the results of financial assets to key management members, risks affecting the results of financial assets and the method for managing such risks, as well as the form of remuneration received by the management personnel of the businesses concerned. In assessing whether the business model is aimed at receiving contract cash flow, the Group is required to analyse and exercise judgment in respect of the reasons, timing, frequency and values of any disposals prior to maturity. Characteristics of contract cash flow The classification of financial assets at initial recognition is dependent on the characteristics of the contract cash flow of such type of financial assets. Judgement is required to determine whether the contract cash flow represents interest payment in relation to principal amounts based on outstanding principal amounts only, including judgement of whether it is significantly different from the benchmark cash flow when assessing modifications to the time value of currencies, and judgement of whether the fair value of early repayment features is minimal where the financial assets include such early repayment features. Estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within subsequent financial years, are discussed below. Page 140 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 31. Significant accounting judgements and estimates (cont’d) Estimation uncertainty (cont’d) Impairment of financial instruments and contract assets The Group has adopted the expected credit loss model to evaluate the impairment of financial instruments and contract assets. The application of the expected credit loss model requires significant judgement and estimates and the consideration of all reasonable and soundly based information, including forward-looking information. In making such judgement and estimates, the Group estimates the projected movements of the debtor’s credit risk according to past repayment records, economic policies, macro-economic indicators and industry risks. Different estimates may affect impairment allowances, and established impairment allowances may not equal the actual impairment loss amount in the future. Impairment of non-current assets other than financial assets (exclusive of goodwill) The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is an indication that a non-current asset other than financial assets may be impaired. For an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, in addition to the annual impairment test, it is also tested when there is an indication that it may be impaired. Non-current assets other than financial assets are tested for impairment when there is an indication that the carrying amount is irrecoverable. Where the carrying amount of an asset or an asset group exceeds its recoverable amount—the higher of the asset or asset group’s fair value less costs to sell and its present value of estimated future cash flows, it is considered impaired. The net amount of the fair value less costs to sell is determined based on the price of a similar asset’s sales contract in a fair transaction or the observable market price less the incremental cost directly attributable to the disposal of the asset. When estimating the present value of future cash flows, the management must choose a proper discount rate. Impairment of goodwill Goodwill must be tested for impairment at least annually. It requires estimating the present value of future cash flows of an asset group or asset group portfolio allocated with goodwill. When estimating the present value of future cash flows, the Group needs to estimate future cash flows generating from the asset group or asset group portfolio, and at the same time choose a proper discount rate to determine the present value of future cash flows. For details, see Note V.20. Fair value of unlisted equity investments The unlisted equity investments have been valued based on the expected cash flows discounted at current rates applicable for items with similar terms and risk characteristics. This valuation requires the Group to make estimates about expected future cash flows, credit risk, volatility and discount rates, and hence they are subject to uncertainty. Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses, to the extent that it is likely that taxable profit will be available to utilize these unused tax losses. Significant judgments are needed from management to estimate the timing and amount of taxable profit in the future, with tax planning strategies, to determine the amount of the deferred tax assets that should be recognized. Page 141 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 V.Principal Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates (Cont’d) 31. Significant accounting judgements and estimates (cont’d) Estimation uncertainty (cont’d) Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The Group discounted the lease payments using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The Group determines the incremental borrowing rate based on the economic environment by reference to the observable interest rate. Then the Group adjusts the reference interest rate based on its own circumstances, underlying assets, lease terms and amounts of lease liabilities to determine the applicable incremental borrowing rate. Provisions The Group estimates and makes corresponding provision for product quality guaranty according to contract terms, existing knowledge and past experience. When such contingencies have formed a present obligation and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits from the Group will be required to settle the obligation, the Group recognizes the contingencies as provisions based on the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation. The recognition and measurement of provisions largely depend on the judgment of management. In the process of making judgment, the Group is required to assess the risks, uncertainties, time value of money and other factors related to such contingencies. The Group will undertake the provisions for post-sale quality maintenance provided to customers for the sale, maintenance and renovation of the sold goods. The provisions have been made taking into account the Group’s recent data of maintenance experience, and taking into account the risks, uncertainties and other factors related to maintenance matters. Any increase or decrease in this provision may affect the profit and loss in future years. Page 142 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 VI.

Semi-Annual Report 2024 Ⅺ Risks Associated with Financial Instruments 1.Risks of financial instruments The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Group’s policies are summarised below. Credit risk The Group transacts only with recognized and reputable third parties. According to the Group's policies, credit checks are needed for all customers that require transactions should be conducted by means of credit. Additionally, the Group performs continuous monitoring of the balance of accounts receivable to ensure that the Group will not face major bad debt risk. For transactions not settled in the accounting standard currency of the relevant business unit, unless specifically approved by the credit control department of the Group, the Group will not provide credit transaction conditions. Since the counterparties of cash and bank balances and notes receivable are banks with a good reputation and high credit rating, the credit risk of such financial instruments is low. Other financial assets of the Group mainly include accounts receivable, other receivables and contract assets, the credit risk of which arises from counterparty default, and the maximum risk exposure is equal to the carrying value of these instruments. The Group transacts only with recognized and reputable third parties, so no collateral is required. Credit risk concentration is managed by customer/counterparty, geographic region and industry. Because the customer base of accounts receivable of the Group is widely dispersed in different departments and industries, there is no major credit risk concentration within the Group. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancement on the balance of accounts receivable. Criteria for judging significant increases in credit risk The Group assesses whether or not the credit risk of the relevant financial instruments has increased significantly since the initial recognition at each balance sheet date. The Group's main criteria for determining significant increase in credit risk are that the number of days past due exceed 30 days, or one or more of the following indicators have changed significantly: significant adverse changes in the operating environment of the debtor, internal and external credit ratings, and actual or expected operating results. Definition of credit-impaired financial assets The Group's main criterion for determining that credit impairment has occurred is that the number of days past due exceeds 90 days. However, in some cases, if internal or external information indicates that the contract amount may not be recovered in full before considering any credit enhancements held, the Group will also consider that credit impairment has occurred. The credit impairment on a financial asset may be caused by the combined effect of multiple events and may not be necessarily due to a single event. Liquidity risk Page 183 of 198 Guangdong Dongfang Precision Science & Technology Co., Ltd. Semi-Annual Report 2024 The Group aims to maintain sufficient cash and credit lines to meet its liquidity requirements. The Group finances its working capital requirements through a combination of funds generated from operations and other borrowings. Market Risk Interest rate risk The Group’s exposure to risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s long-term liabilities with floating interest rates. Exchange rate risk The Group is exposed to trading exchange rate risks. Such exposures arise from sales or purchases by business units in currencies other than the units’ functional currencies. The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholders’ value. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic conditions and in the risk profiles of relevant assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during 2023 and 2022.
