2023 Annual Report 1 / 306 2023 Annual Report Stock Code: 603529 Abbreviation: Aima Technology AIMA TECHNOLOGY GROUP CO., LTD. 2023 Annual Report 2 / 306 2023 Annual Report Letter to Shareholders Dear Shareholders, As we close the year 2023, we have together witnessed another extraordinary journey of Aima Technology. This year, the Company has demonstrated a robust development trend in its business operations: the annual revenue reached 21.036 billion yuan, an increase of 1.12% year-over-year, and the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the listed company reached 1.881 billion yuan, marking a growth of 0.41% year-over-year, which presents strong resilience and strategic focus amidst changes. Looking back at 2023, the overall business growth of the Company showed a pattern of being high initially and then tapering off. By the end of the year, the industry began to move towards a comprehensive recovery, and this consumption state of electric two-wheelers aligned well with the trend of other domestic consumer goods categories in China. Beyond the long-term positive outlook for China’s economic development trends, I believe it is essential to reach a consensus with all shareholders on the following three trends: First, the consumption trend of electric two-wheelers is showing a K-shaped divergence, where the upward stroke represents products developed based on consumer demand and usage scenarios, which feature differentiation, high-end quality, and intelligence, enjoying higher gross margins and consumer preference. The downward stroke represents products of off-the-shelf, homogenized, basic functional developed by manufacturers lacking original research capabilities, have not become more favored despite price reductions. This divergence has qualitatively changed the existing competitive landscape of the industry, forming two competing groups: one among enterprises with original research and innovation capabilities and another among homogeneous, off-the-shelf enterprises. The evolution of competition within these two groups will likely lead to innovative enterprises continuously eroding the market share of the follower enterprises. The underlying logic behind the K-shaped divergence is that consumers need better and more suitable products. Second, the AIGC technology revolution represented by ChatGPT is profoundly impacting our lives and work in unprecedented ways, moving fintelligent information into the physical and biological worlds. AIGC brings more than just speech recognition, facial recognition, and image recognition; more importantly, it has the capability to create and generate, not only generating texts, images, and videos but also codes, drugs, formulas, and equations. We will soon witness significant technological and paradigm shifts brought about by AIGC. Meanwhile, we will also see more application scenarios of AIGC, including applications in regulatory, social, consumer, industry, and enterprise domains. This is a technological trend we cannot ignore. Third, following land, labor, capital, and technology, data is emerging as the fifth major factor of production. From the “Data 20 Articles” for the construction of basic data management systems to the assetization of data elements, China has fundamentally established the basic framework for data resource confirmation, valuation, utilization, circulation, and trading, and data will become a core strategic resource for enterprises. From the perspective of operating performance, the assetization of data will become a new growth point for enterprises; from a business competition perspective, the use of data assets will become a key to winning in corporate competition; from a management efficiency perspective, the effective use of data elements will significantly enhance production and operational efficiency; from an R&D innovation perspective, the rapid flow and sharing of data will provide enterprises with opportunities for product innovation, service innovation, and business model innovation; from an industrial development perspective, leveraging data elements to achieve digital transformation will enhance industrial added value and competitiveness, thereby promoting industrial upgrading. These three trends will bring tremendous imagination to the development and restructuring of the industry, and we will continue to focus on our main business, embrace innovation, act in accordance with the situation, and rise with the trends. 3 / 306 2023 Annual Report As the electric two-wheeler industry increasingly becomes a prominent part of the global transportation system and dual-carbon industry chain, the industry faces both opportunities for capacity expansion and challenges from demand and regulatory aspects, such as product lifecycle management and regulatory policies, the lawful acquisition of road rights for innovative product categories, and the global market promotion and standard compatibility of products. In response, the Company, as a leading industry player, is willing to assume industry responsibilities, taking the lead or actively participating in the establishment of industry standards, organizing industry social responsibility seminars, and facilitating industry problem-solving. The Company will unite closely with suppliers, dealers, employees, and other stakeholders to build a harmonious industry ecosystem and promote the healthy development of the industry. Aima Technology has been adhering to long-termism since its inception, focusing on one thing and excelling in one industry, and we have always maintained a prudent and steady attitude in choosing strategic directions. In 2023, Aima Technology also had a year of consolidation, based on ample in-depth research, we strategically deliberated and assessed important issues concerning industry and development of the Company. We believe that, first, regarding the industry capacity limit: from a long-term perspective, electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers will be the ideal choice for short and medium-distance travel for residents both domestically and abroad, which are the fundamental driving factors for industry development, and the concept of low-carbon travel will increasingly enhance the industry’s development. Thus, there is still room for market capacity expansion after the era of replacement purchases. Second, consumer rationality and high-end products: the consumer rationality of "can buy expensive, but not overpriced" is gradually becoming mainstream. High prices must match the product value and cost-effectiveness. Currently, the industry's high-end products are mainly marketed with extended range as their main selling point, which is still in its initial stages, with great potential for future development. Fashionable, unique design and intelligent functions should be the main directions to enhance product value. Third, AI technology is developing at a speed surpassing any previous industry, and as its commercialization progresses, AI will not only become a tool for enterprises to enhance operational efficiency and innovation capabilities but will also provide more development opportunities for various industries, including the development of the electric two-wheeler industry ecosystem. Based on confidence in industry development and self-awareness, Aima Technology will stay true to its original aspirations, continue to focus on its main business, and closely revolve around the electric two-wheeler industry ecosystem, actively exploring new business models with four major transformations as the direction and focus: transitioning from solely selling vehicles to providing travel solutions, from a leader in travel products to a leader in the travel ecosystem, from a domestic brand to an international brand, and from a manufacturing-oriented company to a technology-oriented company. To date, Aima Technology has an organizational scale of nearly ten thousand people. We are acutely aware that large companies are prone to formalism and bureaucracy. Therefore, for Aima Technology to become a century-old enterprise, it must maintain organizational vitality and cohesion while expanding its organizational scale. To this end, in terms of corporate culture, we use a strong sense of crisis and determination for excellence to stimulate self-drive, continuously promoting self-awareness upgrading and transformation, and adopting an open and knowledge-seeking attitude to actively embrace new trends, new concepts, and new technologies. In terms of business management, we optimize processes and drive innovation through digital reengineering, making the Company a "dancing elephant" that can sensitively and efficiently perceive and respond to changes in external situations and market demands. In terms of talent cohesion, we adhere to the philosophy of " showing respect for our staff, improving their competence and making them happy”, viewing the Company as a carrier for employees to realize their life value, making every effort to provide each employee with decent remuneration, a pleasant and harmonious work environment, and clear growth opportunities. At the same time, employees are enabled to share the fruits of the Company's development through equity incentives, firmly walking the path to common prosperity. In 2023, focusing on long-term capacity building, we conducted a series of organizational reforms, process optimizations, and cadre adjustment mechanisms around product lifecycle management, which further enhanced organizational efficiency and the comprehensive operational efficiency of 4 / 306 2023 Annual Report "from user demand insight to user demand satisfaction”. Meanwhile, the Company launched an equity incentive program, covering 324 core employees, further improving the Company's medium and long-term incentive system Creating long-term value for shareholders is our unwavering commitment, just as "Users First" has been our value proposition for over 20 years. To repay our shareholders, based on the Company's 2023 operating performance and overall financial condition, fully considering the Company's future development and reasonable returns for shareholders, the Board of Directors proposes a profit distribution plan for 2023: based on the total share capital registered as of the record date for the distribution of equity, minus the shares held in the repurchase special securities account, it is proposed to distribute a cash dividend of 5.34 yuan (including tax) per 10 shares to all shareholders of the Company. This matter is still subject to approval by the Company's 2023 annual general meeting of shareholders. We feel grateful for the constant company, support and trust from our shareholders, customers, suppliers and all walks of life! And we look forward to continuing to go hand in hand with all shareholders. Optimists win the future, pessimists win the moment; and we possess both an optimistic attitude and a pessimistic outlook.

It continued to focus on its core business, namely, development and manufacture of electric two-wheelers, strictly implemented the annual business plan, and achieved commendable operating results.

Discussion and Analysis of the Company on Its Future Development (I) Industrial structure and trend √Applicable Not applicable 1. Competition situation of industry At the current stage, as the "New National Standard" reaches its end phase, consumer demand is showing trends of diversification, High-end, smart integration, and internationalization. The industry participants are transitioning from the original "manufacture and sell" model to a "product and service provision" model based on satisfying consumer demands. A large number of companies lacking the ability to perceive consumer needs and to fulfill them, with low standardization, small scale, and poor overall operational efficiency, have been eliminated or shut down, resulting in a continuous increase in industry concentration. From the perspective of corporate characteristics, industry participants mainly include two types of enterprises: The first type is innovative brand enterprises, which focus on continuous innovation and R&D, and strive to lead industry development. often being able to keenly perceive trends in user demands and swiftly introduce innovative products based on these insights, thereby gaining a competitive edge in the market. They hold numerous patents and innovative products, demonstrating a robust ability to adapt to market changes, which allows them to flexibly respond to challenges from competitors. The second type of business is the follower brand, which has weaker capabilities in innovation. These companies often face technological barriers, product homogeneity, and a passive following of market trends, placing them at a disadvantage in competition. Table Market competition landscape of electric two-wheelers User demand User demand Comprehensive Market Original research and Competitiv insight fulfillment operational participant innovation capability e capability capability capability efficiency Innovative brand Strong Strong Strong High Strong enterprises Follower brand Weak Weak Weak Low Weak enterprises 2. Industry Driving Factors (1) Policy 52 / 306 2023 Annual Report Policies are increasingly refining the regulatory framework. The implementation of the “New National Standard”, along with other industry policies, has standardized industry development and created opportunities for leading companies. 1) “New National Standard” Implementation of “New National Standard” brings changes in competition order and market volume. The inspection rules of Old National Standard are divided into three categories, veto items, important items and common items. The electric bicycle, meeting all veto items, at least 15 ones in 18 important items and at least 9 items in 13 common items, are deemed as qualified in inspection conclusion. The “New National Standard” does not distinguish the inspection rules of electric bicycle, all technical parameters are mandatory and r emphasize the non-motorized vehicle status of electric bicycles, such as a maximum speed limit of 25 km/h, and includes technological measures against tampering with speed. With implementation of “New National Standard”, in order to further strengthen transportation safety management, the administrative departments implement transition period management policy for the existing electric bicycles that exceed the standard, and each local government set the transition period. After the transition period expires, the electric bicycles exceeding the standard will not be allowed to run on the road again. Local governments promulgated the management policies for electric bicycles that exceed the standard, and set different transition periods (generally 5 years, i.e. closing before the end of 2024). And also they strictly executed the “New National Standard”, and the digital and smart transport monitoring equipment and execution tools greatly reduced execution difficulty, therefore, the implementation effect of the “New National Standard” was good, and the replacement demand increasing every year extended the industry’s market volume. After implementation of the “New National Standard”, the demand for electric mopeds and electric motorcycles significantly increased, many manufacturers had to pass strict entry examination in order to obtain production and management qualification. In addition, all electric two-wheelers must pass 3C authentication before sale in the market, and the authentication would generate certain expenses. These measures have significantly raised industrial entry barrier and the operating costs of whole vehicle manufacturers, accelerated survival of the fittest in the industry, and had active promotion action for regulating development and competition order of electric two-wheeler vehicle industry. In view of implementation effect of “New National Standard” in recent two years, integration showed acceleration trend in the industry, and the market share would be concentrated to the leading enterprises. 2) Other important industry policies The industry supervision and administration policies promulgated and implemented in recent years were mainly related to safety (including riding safety and fire safety). Benefiting from digital and smart transportation monitoring equipment and execution tools, 53 / 306 2023 Annual Report the execution strength and effectiveness continue to increase, and the safe use of electric two-wheelers and industrial order are strictly regulated from production, sales, and user ends. In July 2021, the State Taxation Administration, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and Ministry of Public Security jointly released the Measures for the “Use of Motor Vehicle Invoices”. Enterprises which manufacture and sell motor vehicles shall issue unified invoices for the motor vehicles which they have sold according to the principle of “one invoice for one vehicle”, and any electric motorcycles and electric mopeds not issued with invoices cannot obtain license plates and run on the road. The 'one invoice for one vehicle' policy facilitates after-sale claims by consumers and effectively eliminates asymmetrical competition in the industry. In addition, occurrence of public safety accidents arising from electric two-wheelers on fire catches more social attention in recent years. Execution of the rule “electric vehicles shall not be upstairs” is stricter, safe charging has become a focal point in consumption and an important issue affecting the development of the industry, and generated a huge potential demand market, and also provided room for business expansion and performance growth. (2) Society The common view of “low carbon emission and green transport” and worse traffic jam to commute habit made more users to accept electric two-wheelers. In recent years, environmental protection has become a global consensus. In response to the increasingly evident climate risks and the series of issues they precipitate, governments worldwide have taken action. China has set forth the "Dual Carbon" goals (carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060) and continuously refined its legal and regulatory framework for low-carbon emissions reduction, actively advocating for green, environmentally friendly concepts. Under such circumstances, the notion of "low-carbon green travel" has gradually become a social consensus. Electric two-wheelers, with their environmentally friendly and economical characteristics, align perfectly with the consumer demands of green travel. Concurrently, as urban traffic congestion worsens, many families and individuals, despite owning cars, are opting for electric two-wheelers as a flexible and convenient mode of transportation for short and medium distances due to their maneuverability and ease of parking. (3) Economy The medium and short-distance travel demand of residents is basic, transport cost advantage makes electric two-wheeler as major selection for medium and short-distance travel; the rise of take-out distribution and other emerging businesses remarkably extend the use scenarios of electric two-wheelers. With economic development and urbanization progress, the travel radius of residents (including urban and rural residents) continually increases, and the medium and short-distance travel demand is increasing. Compared with other medium and short-distance vehicles, electric two-wheeler has the following advantages: economical, convenient, time-saving and labor-saving, and the transportation cost advantage is even 54 / 306 2023 Annual Report more obvious, this highly meets the demand of residents and it becomes the major selection of residents for medium and short-distance travel. This is the basic drive factor of industry development. Furthermore, when consumption awareness of residents improves and the “Internet +” service model is becoming mature in China, various door-to-door services have become mainstream of new consumption, take-out services driven under O2O (online/offline) model and express services driven under e-commerce have become the new consumption scenarios of electric two-wheeler, which benefits the expansion of industry capacity. (4) Technology In-depth research on the design, technology, and processes of electric two-wheelers, along with the ongoing integration of networking and intelligence, drives the industry's technological development. Industry technologies are developed mainly in two paths, one is innovation and improvement of the inherent technology system of the industry (including material, process and structure), including performance improvement of core hardware such as battery, application of new environment-friendly materials and new technologies, improvement of vehicle body structure. The other is technical application crossing industries, networking and smart technical application is the R&D field of current important cross-industry technical application. Both of them jointly promote technology development of the industry, improvement of product performance and function expansion, and it is beneficial that the products in the industry obtain wider market recognition. After the leading enterprises with strength in R&D investment acquire economic interest from research and development, they will further increase input in R&D and design, so that it can generate good cycle of R&D - design - manufacture - sale, and promote improvement of industry concentration and whole upgrading of industry. (5) International demand Carbon emission reduction is an important strategic consensus formed on a global scale. Against the backdrop of continuous implementation of carbon reduction policies worldwide, the international market for electric two-wheelers is showing a growing trend. Since electric two-wheelers emerged, the domestic market has been the primary consumption market, while demand for electric two-wheelers in the international market has been low. Compared with electric two-wheelers, motorcycles and electric assistance products with leisure and fitness functions are greatly accepted by overseas customers. While environmental protection awareness is being strengthened in the world, many countries promulgate relevant policies for “prohibiting motorcycle” or encouraging “replacing oil with electricity”, and the demand for electric two-wheelers in the international market shows increasing trend, and this provides another huge development space for the industry. 3. Industry development trend 55 / 306 2023 Annual Report Economic transformation and consumption upgrading, application of networking and smart technologies, along with the rise in international demand due to carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, will drive the electric two-wheeler industry towards differentiation, high-end, smart, and international directions. (1) Differentiation Electric two-wheelers in early days mainly met the short-distance travel demand of the public, and the products focused at riding function and cost performance, they had simple functions and are homogeneous. With the improvement of residents' living standards and the trend towards consumption upgrading, the consumption demand for electric two-wheelers changes to the direction of quality, function, personality and experience, including color, vehicle model and style (such as business, fashion and sports), driving mileage, smart interaction, riding comfort, brake safety, stability, etc. In the trend of consumption demand transformation and consumption upgrading, electric two-wheelers will show differential trend, namely, manufacturers carry out precise identification and deep research to segmenting consumption demand, and organize customized production according to different personal demands. (2) High-end With more intensive competition in the industry, restructuring of industry order and change of consumption demand, high-end will be the necessary option of electric two-wheeler industry, and is also only way of brand enterprises. High-end trend of the industry includes three aspects: first, product function upgrading and expansion, second, brand re-positioning and extension, third, overall high-end transformation. Overall high-end transformation mainly refers to innovation, evolution and upgrading of the existing industrial pattern under the networking, smart and digital trend. (3) Smartness Consumption upgrading and cross-industry technical application provide opportunities for smart development of the industry, including development and application of automatic driving, automatic parking, smart navigation, automatic unlocking, health testing, remote failure diagnosis, anti-theft warning and other smart modules. Especially, Gen Z people, who have been one of the major consumption groups, pay more attention to smart unlocking, human-vehicle interconnection and other smart functions. With continual development of Internet of vehicles, smart function is hopeful to be the standard function configuration. At that time, electric two-wheelers will not be limited to be short-distance transport vehicle, and they will become an important part of residents' smart networking media systems and a significant source of social networking data. (4) Internationalization With formation of international common view on carbon emission reduction and understanding of overseas users about green and convenient characteristics of electric two-wheeler, international market faces development opportunity, electric two-wheeler industry will gradually move from domestic market to global market. At present, many 56 / 306 2023 Annual Report domestic manufacturers in China are intensifying their efforts to expand into the international market. Despite the obstacles posed by trade protectionism during internationalization, the unique advantages of the electric two-wheeler industry and the international strategies of leading enterprises will help electric two-wheelers enter the overseas market, and this will become the important development trend of this industry.

(IV) Potential risks 58 / 306 2023 Annual Report √Applicable Not applicable 1. More intensive competition in the industry Competition in the electric two-wheeler industry is increasingly intensive. In recent years, with regulatory development of industry and optimization of competition order, many small enterprises withdraw from the market, and industry competition mainly exists between leading enterprises. This new situation sees these enterprises continually reducing sales prices while improving product performance and expanding service coverage, which significantly increases the difficulty of competition. If a manufacturer fails to promptly launch high-cost performance products and offer high-quality services according to market demand, it may lose original competition advantage and industrial position. At present, the Company has maintained a leading position in the industry by virtue of its capabilities of strong product development, technological innovation, excellent cost control and quality management, good brand image and user reputation, nationwide marketing channels and service networks and other competitive advantages. The Company will continually focus on users’ demand, carry out differential competition, realize smart and high-end products by application of Internet of vehicles technologies, development of industrial core hardware, improve production efficiency and defined operation through digital and smart upgrading, development and cost reduction and raise its cost competition advantage. 2. Product R&D risks With the improvement of consumers' consumption awareness and the trend of consumption upgrading becoming more and more obvious, consumers' demand for electric two-wheeled vehicles presents the characteristics of fashion, intelligence and networking, which requires electric two-wheeled vehicle manufacturers to continuously research and predict the trend of consumer demand, continue to carry out product innovation and technology research and development, and launch new models with new shapes and new functions to meet the constantly upgraded consumer needs of users. Failure to meet consumption expectations will have a negative impact on performance. In addition, the R&D of new models requires a certain period of time. If a manufacturer takes the lead in developing similar products and locks the relevant patents, it may put pressure on the R&D of other manufacturers. The Company always regards R&D and product innovation as the main means to enhance its product competitiveness and achieve long-term development. Starting from the needs of users, after years of continuous R&D investment and exploration, it has acquired the relevant capabilities of accurate user demand positioning, excellent technology and innovation, which makes its products popular among consumers. The Company will continue to improve the APDS process with a user-centered R&D strategy, and enhance the Company's technological capabilities to reduce R&D risks. 3. Management risks to dealers The main sales model of the Company's products is distribution. Dealers are not only the Company's direct customers, but also important windows for the Company to show its 59 / 306 2023 Annual Report brand image and enhance its brand reputation to consumers in its distribution areas. The operating capabilities, risk appetite and willingness to work hard of the dealers have a greater impact on the sales of the Company's products in the relevant distribution areas. If the dealer's operation method and service quality are contrary to the Company's business purpose or the dealer's understanding of the Company's management philosophy deviates, it may have an adverse impact on the Company's business performance and brand image. In this regard, the Company continuously improves the dealer management system, strictly implements the management standards for dealer access, training, assessment and exit, etc., and establishes a scorecards and dynamic channel management system to “retain winners and phase out losers”, to stimulate the dealer’ working enthusiasm, improve their operation capabilities and ensure the vitality and healthy development of the Company's channel system. 4.Material price fluctuation risks The purchase price of raw materials in the industry is affected by factors such as macro trends and industrial policies, and there is the possibility of fluctuations, which increases the difficulty of controlling purchase costs and may have a certain impact on the operating performance of production enterprises. In this regard, the Company has built and will continue to improve a high-quality and efficient supply chain system, and has set up an SQE (Supplier Quality Engineer) department, and select and integrate global supply chain resources. The Company invested in key parts suppliers to ensure the safety of the supply of key parts; at the same time, for products with a clear price increase, the Company adopts the method of locking the price in advance and locking the purchase volume to avoid operating risks caused by sharp price increases. The Company has established close strategic cooperative relations with major parts suppliers, which is conducive to achieving sufficient supply of raw materials and stable prices. At the same time, the Company upgrades and optimizes the supply chain platform through the construction of digital intelligence, realizes the deep synergy between the Company's manufacturing process and the supply chain system, and hedges the cost control pressure caused by rising raw materials with the improvement of production efficiency. 5. Risks of new projects falling short of expectations In recent years, as the industry's market capacity continuously expands and the Company's product sales gradually increase, the Company has decided to build new production bases to expand capacity and enhance overall production capabilities after thorough research and validation. These new projects include the Taizhou Intelligent Electric Vehicle and High-Speed Electric Motorcycle project in Zhejiang, the Aima New Energy Intelligent Travel Ecological Industrial Park project in Zhejiang Lishui, the Aima Intelligent Travel Industrial Park project in Guangxi Guigang, the second phase of the Aima Southwest Manufacturing Base in Chongqing, and an overseas production base in Southeast Asia. The construction of new bases generally takes a long time, and coupled with changes in policies, construction conditions, and other factors, there is a risk that the construction and production of new projects may not progress as expected. Although these projects have been thoroughly validated by the Company based on scientific 60 / 306 2023 Annual Report predictions of national industrial policies, industry trends, and market demands, significant adverse changes in policies, industry trends, or market environments after the new bases start production could impact the profitability of the projects. Additionally, the implementation of new projects will lead to an increase in the Company's fixed asset depreciation expenses, which may adversely affect short-term performance. In response, the Company will closely monitor policy and market environment changes, accelerate project construction and production ramp-up, and continuously enhance its technological strength and product competitiveness to accurately meet consumer demands, thereby increasing the market share of its products and the profitability of new projects.

Furthermore, I shall not hold any substantial management roles in any economic organization that is in peer competition with Aima Technology. Should Aima Technology expand its business scope, I commit to ensuring that enterprises I control or significantly influence will not compete with Aima Technology’s expanded business. If I or any enterprises I control or significantly influence encounter business opportunities that could potentially compete with the current or future operations of Aima Technology, I will take all possible and reasonable steps to offer such opportunities to Aima Technology first. If Aima Technology decides not to pursue these opportunities, I and the enterprises I control or significantly influence will take feasible steps to transfer these opportunities to unrelated third parties before these opportunities move to the implementation phase, or we will withdraw from such business opportunities or take other favorable actions to safeguard Aima Technology's interests and avoid peer competition. I will ensure that enterprises under my control or significant influence fulfill the obligations stated in this commitment letter by deploying appropriate institutional mechanisms and personnel (including but not limited to directors, managers) and by maintaining a controlling position.

(3) I confirm that each commitment in this letter is independently actionable. If I breach any of these commitments, Aima Technology has the right to demand that I and the enterprises I control or significantly influence immediately cease any competing actions, and may require me or the enterprises I control or significantly influence to compensate Aima Technology for any direct or indirect financial losses, claims liabilities, and associated costs incurred. (4) I ensure that these commitments will remain effective and are irrevocable during the period while Aima Technology is listed on the domestic securities exchange and while I am a controlling shareholder and actual controller.

Transactions that require approval from competent authorities will only be executed after such approval has been obtained. (4) I assure that I will not obtain any improper benefits through related-party transactions nor impose any undue obligations on Aima Technology. Should any violation of these commitments result in losses to Aima Technology or if benefits to Aima Technology are encroached upon through related-party transactions, Aima Technology reserves the right to unilaterally terminate such transactions, with any losses incurred to be borne by me. (5) For unavoidable related-party transactions, I will ensure that Aima Technology strictly follows the decision-making procedures for related-party transactions, the conflict of interest recusal rules, and disclosure requirements as set out in the Company’s bylaws, to ensure that such transactions are fair, just, and equitable, thereby preventing any harm to the interests of Aima Technology and its shareholders.

Considering the actual investment in the capital-raising projects and future investment plans, on August 11, 2023, the 11th meeting of the fifth Board of Directors and the 10th meeting of the fifth Supervisory Board reviewed and approved the "Proposal on the Delay of Some Initial Public Offering Capital Investment Projects”, deciding to postpone the expected date for these projects to reach operational status to June 2024. Note 2: Due to significant changes in local environmental protection policies, the "Jiangsu Vehicle Plastic Parts Painting Production Line Technological Renovation Project" adjusted its operations to entrust the painting of plastic parts to enterprises within a centralized painting center in the area. This entrusted painting meets the Company's daily operational needs. With the gradual promotion of paint-free technology for plastic parts, the necessity to continue the original project has significantly decreased. Following the deliberation at the 2021 annual general meeting held on May 6, 2022, the Company decided to terminate the project and has transferred the unused raised funds to Jiangsu Vehicle's proprietary capital account for permanent supplementation of working capital. 108 / 306 2023 Annual Report (III) Changes or terminations of fund-raising investment projects during the reporting period □ Applicable √ Not applicable (IV) Other situations regarding the use of raised funds during the reporting period 1.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of the management and those charged with governance for the financial statements The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with ASBEs, and for designing, implementing and maintaining such internal control as the management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

LTD.’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless either intend to liquidate Aima Technology Group Co,. LTD. or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance is responsible for overseeing Aima Technology Group Co,. LTD.’s financial reporting process. VI. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with CSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are generally considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with CSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: (1) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. (2) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. (3) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of 126 2023 Annual Report accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management. (4) Conclude on the appropriateness of the management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. (5) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. (6) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and to communicate with those charged with governance all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

(1) 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 combination, and the control is not temporary. The assets and liabilities (including goodwill arising from the ultimate controlling party’s acquisition of the entity being absorbed) that are obtained by the absorbing entity in a business combination involving entities under common control shall be measured on the basis of their carrying amounts in the financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the combination date. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination or the aggregate face value of shares issued as consideration shall be adjusted to capital 163 2023 Annual Report premium under capital reserves. If the capital premium is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings. (2) 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 combination. The acquirer shall measure the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in the business combination at their fair values on the acquisition date. Goodwill is initially recognised and measured at the difference between the combination cost and the acquiree's share of the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets acquired in the combination. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. If the combination cost is less than any fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is lower than the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets, the Group reassesses the measurement of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. If after that reassessment, the combination cost is still lower than the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets, the Group recognises the remaining difference in profit or loss. 7. Judgment standard of control and preparation method of consolidated financial statements √ Applicable □ Not applicable The scope of the consolidated financial statements, which include the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries, is determined on the basis of control. A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company (such as an enterprise, a deemed separate entity, or a structured entity controlled by the Company). An investor can control an investee if and only if the investor has three elements: the investor has power over the investee; variable returns due to participation in the investee's activities; ability to use its power over the investee to influence the amount of its return. Where the accounting policies or accounting periods adopted by a subsidiary are inconsistent with those of the Company, necessary adjustments shall be made to the financial statements of the subsidiary in accordance with the accounting policies and accounting periods of the Company when preparing the consolidated financial statements. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. Where the loss for the current period attributable to Minority shareholders’ equity of a subsidiary exceeds the Minority shareholders’ equity of the opening balance of equity of the subsidiary, the excess shall still be allocated against the Minority shareholders’ equity. For subsidiaries acquired through business combinations not involving entities under common control, the financial performance and cash flows of the acquiree shall be 164 2023 Annual Report consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date such control ceases. While preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group shall adjust the subsidiary’s financial statements, on the basis of the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised on the acquisition date. For subsidiaries acquired through business combinations involving entities under common control, the financial performance and cash flows of the entity being absorbed shall be consolidated from the beginning of the period in which the combination occurs. While preparing the comparative financial statements, adjustments are made to related items in the financial statements for the prior period as if the reporting entity after the combination has been in existence since the date the ultimate controlling party first obtained the control. The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if any change in facts and circumstances indicates that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. A change in the Minority shareholders’ equity, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. 8.Classification of joint arrangement and joint operation □ Applicable √ Not applicable 9.Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises the Group’s cash on hand and bank deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 10. Foreign currency transactions and foreign currency translation √ Applicable □ Not applicable The Group translates foreign currency transactions into its functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded, on initial recognition in the functional currency using average exchange rates for the period in which the transactions occur. However, the capital invested by investors in foreign currencies is translated at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the spot exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of those relating to foreign currency borrowings specifically for the construction and acquisition of qualifying assets, which are capitalised in accordance with the guidance for capitalisation of borrowing costs. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates of the initial recognition, and the amount denominated in the functional currency is not changed. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated 165 2023 Annual Report using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income depending on the nature of the non-monetary items. For foreign operations, the Group translates their functional currency amounts into RMB when preparing the financial statements as follows: as at the balance sheet date, the assets and liabilities are translated using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date, and equity items other than “unappropriated profit” are translated at the spot exchange rates at the dates of transactions; revenue and expense items in profit or loss are translated using the average exchange rates for the period during which the transactions occur (unless this is inappropriate due to exchange rate fluctuations, in which case the spot exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions are used). The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss. If the disposal only involves a portion of a particular foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss on a pro-rata basis. Foreign currency cash flows and the cash flows of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the average exchange rates for the period during which the cash flows occur (unless this is inappropriate due to exchange rate fluctuations, in which case the spot exchange rates prevailing on the dates of cash flows are used). The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is separately presented as an adjustment item in the statement of cash flows. 11. Financial instruments √Applicable Not applicable A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. (1) Recognition and derecognition The Group recognises a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument. A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated balance sheet) when: ① the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired; ② the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset, or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset, or has neither transferred nor retained 166 2023 Annual Report substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the financial asset. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace in accordance with a contract. The trade date is the date that the Group committed to purchase or sell a financial asset. (2) Classification and measurement of financial assets The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them: financial assets at amortised cost, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are measured at fair value on initial recognition, but accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from the sale of goods or rendering of services that do not contain significant financing components or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient of not adjusting the effect of a significant financing component due within one year, are initially measured at the transaction price. For financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognised in profit or loss, and transaction costs relating to other financial assets are included in the initial recognition amounts. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows: ① Debt investments measured at amortised cost The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. Such financial assets mainly include currency funds, notes receivable, accounts receivable and other receivables. 167 2023 Annual Report ② Debt investments at fair value through other comprehensive income The Group measures debt investments at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met: the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling; the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. The interest income, impairment losses and foreign exchange revaluation are recognised in profit or loss. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognised in other comprehensive income is recycled to profit or loss. ③ Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss The financial assets other than the above financial assets measured at amortised cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. (3) Classification and measurement of financial liabilities The financial liabilities of the Company are, on initial recognition, classified as: financial liabilities measured at amortised cost. Transaction costs relating to financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are included in the initial recognition amounts. The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification: Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost Such financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (4) Impairment of financial instruments Based on the expected credit losses (“ECLs”), the Group recognises an allowance for ECLs for the financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt investments at fair value through other comprehensive income. For accounts receivable and contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group applies the simplified approach to recognise a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs. Except for financial assets which apply the simplified approach as mentioned above, other financial assets, the Group assesses whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition at each balance sheet date. If the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition (stage 1), the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs by the Group and the interest income is calculated 168 2023 Annual Report according to the carrying amount and the effective interest rate; if the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition but are not credit-impaired (stage 2), the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs by the Group and the interest income is calculated according to the carrying amount and the effective interest rate; if such financial assets are credit-impaired after initial recognition (stage 3), the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs by the Group and the interest income is calculated according to the amortised cost and the effective interest rate. For financial instruments with lower credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Company assumes that its credit risk has not increased significantly since the initial recognition. The Group assesses the expected credit losses of financial instruments based on individual items and portfolios. The Group has considered the credit risk characteristics of different customers, based on common risk characteristics and assessed the expected credit losses of receivables based on the age combination. The Group considers reasonable and supportable information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions when assessing expected credit losses. When the Group no longer reasonably expects to collect all or part of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset, the Group directly writes down the carrying amount of the financial asset. (5) Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts; and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. (6) Convertible bonds When the Group issues convertible bonds, it determines whether they contain both liability and equity components according to the terms. If the issued convertible bonds contain both liabilities and equity components, the liabilities and equity components shall be separated and treated separately at initial recognition. At the time of separation, the fair value of the liability component is first measured and used as its initial recognition amount, and then the initial recognition amount of the equity component is determined according to the amount after deducting the initial recognition amount of the liability component from the issue price of the convertible bond as a whole. Transaction costs are allocated between the liability component and the equity component at their respective relative fair values. The liability component is disclosed as a liability and subsequently measured at amortised cost until cancelled, converted or redeemed. The equity component is disclosed as equity and is not subsequently measured. Convertible bonds issued only include liability components and embedded derivatives, that is, if the share conversion right has the characteristics of embedded derivatives, it will be separated from the convertible bonds as a whole, treated separately as a derivative financial instrument, and initially recognized at its fair value. The excess of the issue price over initial recognition as 169 2023 Annual Report a derivative financial instrument is recognised as a debt instrument. Transaction costs are allocated on the basis of the issue price of debt instruments and derivative financial instruments on initial recognition. Transaction costs related to debt instruments are recognised as liabilities and transaction costs related to derivative financial instruments are recognised in profit or loss for the period. (7) Transfer of Financial Assets A financial asset is derecognised when the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset to the transferee. A financial asset is not derecognised when the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset. When the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset, it either (i) derecognises the financial asset and recognises the assets and liabilities created in the transfer when it has not retained control of the asset; or (ii) continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement, in which case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred financial asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the financial asset and the guarantee amount. The guarantee amount is the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay. 12. Notes receivable □ Applicable √ Not applicable 13.

Inventories √ Applicable □ Not applicable Inventory category, delivery valuation method, inventory system, amortization method of low value consumables and packaging materials. √ Applicable □ Not applicable The Company’s inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Inventories are initially carried at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs. For inventories delivered, the actual costs are determined on the weighted average basis. Turnover materials include low value consumables and packing materials, which are on the immediate write-off basis. The Company adopts the perpetual inventory system. Recognition criteria and accrual method of write-down √ Applicable □ Not applicable At the balance sheet date, inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The inventories are written down below cost to net realizable value and the write-down is recognised in profit or loss if the cost is higher than the net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. Combination category and determination basis for provision for write-down based on combination, and determination basis for net realizable value of different categories of inventories □ Applicable √ Not applicable The calculation method and determination basis of the net realizable value of each stock age combination for recognizing the net realizable value of inventory based on the stock age □ Applicable √ Not applicable 17.

Long-term equity investments √ Applicable □ Not applicable Long-term equity investments include equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. A long-term equity investment is initially measured at its initial investment cost on acquisition. The initial cost of a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control is the Company’s share of the carrying amount of the subsidiary’s equity in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the combination date. The difference between the initial investment cost and the carrying amounts of the consideration given is adjusted to the capital premium in the capital reserve, with any excess adjusted to retained earnings. For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination not under common control, the combination cost shall be recognised as the initial investment cost (if a business combination not under common control is achieved step by step through multiple transactions, the sum of the book value of the equity investment held by the acquiree before the acquisition date and the newly increased investment cost on the acquisition date shall be taken as the initial investment cost). For a long-term equity investment other than a long-term equity investment formed by a business combination, the initial investment cost shall be determined according to the following methods: for a long-term equity investment obtained by paying cash, the actual purchase price paid and the expenses, taxes and other necessary expenses directly related to the acquisition of the long-term equity investment shall be regarded as the initial investment cost; For those obtained by issuing equity securities, the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued. For a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination not involving enterprises under common control, the initial cost comprises the aggregate of the fair value of assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the Company, in exchange for control of the acquiree. For a long-term equity investment obtained through a business combination not involving enterprises under common control and achieved in stages, the initial cost comprises the carrying value of the previously-held equity investment in the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date, and the additional investment cost at the acquisition date. For long-term equity investments obtained by means other than business combination, the initial investment cost is determined according to the following method: for those obtained by paying cash, the actual purchase price paid and the expenses, taxes and other necessary costs directly related to the acquisition of long-term equity investments shall be used. Expenses are taken as the initial investment cost. For those obtained by issuing equity securities, the fair value of the issued equity securities is taken as the initial investment cost. For a long-term equity investment where the Company can exercise control over the 173 2023 Annual Report investee, the long-term investment is accounted for using the cost method in the Company’s individual financial statements. Control is achieved when the Group 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. Under the cost method, the long-term equity investment is measured at its initial investment cost. When additional investment is made or the investment is recouped, the cost of long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. Cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee are recognised as investment income in profit or loss. The equity method is adopted when the Group has joint control, or exercises significant influence over the investee. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control with other parties over those policies. Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the Group’s interest in the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, no adjustment is made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the Group’s interest in the fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the difference is charged to profit or loss, and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. Under the equity method, after it has acquired a long-term equity investment, the Group recognises its share of the investee’s profit or loss, as well as its share of the investee’s other comprehensive income, as investment income or loss and other comprehensive income, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment accordingly. The Group recognises its share of the investee’s profit or loss after making appropriate adjustments to the investee’s profit or loss based on the fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets at the acquisition date, using the Group’s accounting policies and periods. Unrealised profits and losses from transactions with its joint ventures and associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s investments in the associates or joint ventures (except for assets that constitute a business) (However, any loss arising from such transactions which are attributable to an impairment loss shall be recognised at its entirety). The carrying amount of the investment is reduced based on the Group’s share of any profit distributions or cash dividends declared by the investee. The Group’s share of losses of the investee is recognised to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of its net investment in the investee is reduced to zero, except that the Group has the obligations to assume further losses. The Group’s share of the investee’s equity changes, other than those arising from the investee’s profit or loss, other comprehensive income or profit distribution, is recognised in the Group’s equity, and the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly. 174 2023 Annual Report 20. Investment properties (1) If the cost measurement model is used: Depreciation or amortization method An investment property is measured initially at cost. If the economic benefits relating to an investment property will probably flow in and the cost can be reliably measured, subsequent costs incurred for the property are included in the cost of the investment property. Otherwise, subsequent costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The Group uses the cost model for the subsequent measurement of its investment properties. For the depreciation method of houses and buildings in investment real estate, please refer to the relevant content of “Section 10 V. 21 Fixed Assets”, and for the amortization method of land use rights in investment real estate, please refer to “Section 10 V. 26 Intangible Assets". 21. Fixed asset (1) Recognition of fixed assets √ Applicable □ Not applicable A fixed asset is recognised only when the economic benefits associated with the asset will probably flow into the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset that meets the recognition criteria shall be included in the cost of the fixed asset, and the carrying amount of the component of the fixed asset that is replaced shall be derecognised. Otherwise, such expenditures are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The fixed assets are initially measured at the cost. The cost of a purchased fixed asset comprises the purchase price, relevant taxes and any directly attributable expenditure for bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. (2) Depreciation methods √ Applicable □ Not applicable Depreciation Annual Categories Useful life (year) Residual rate method depreciation rate Straight-line Buildings 20 5% 4.75% method Machinery and Straight-line 10 5% 9.50% equipment method Office Straight-line 5 5% 19.00% equipment method Straight-line Vehicles 4 5% 23.75% method Electronic Straight-line 3 5% 31.67% equipment method 175 2023 Annual Report Production Straight-line 3 5% 31.67% tools method The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied at least at each year end, and make adjustments if necessary. 22. Construction in progress √ Applicable □ Not applicable The cost of construction in progress is determined according to the actual expenditures incurred for the construction, including all necessary construction expenditures incurred during the construction period and other relevant expenditures. When the asset is ready for its intended use, the criteria for an item of construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets、intangible assets and long-term deferred expenses are as follows: Items Criteria for transfer to fixed assets The earlier of actual start of use/completion Buildings of acceptance The earlier of actual start of use/completion Machinery and equipment of installation and acceptance 23. Borrowing costs √ Applicable □ Not applicable The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised. The amounts of other borrowing costs incurred are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised when capital expenditure and borrowing costs have been incurred and the acquisition, construction or production activities necessary to bring the asset to its intended use or sale have commenced. Capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying asset being acquired, constructed or produced gets ready for its intended use or sale. Any borrowing costs subsequently incurred are recognised in profit or loss. During the capitalisation period, the amount of interest eligible for capitalisation for each accounting period shall be determined as follows: where funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of interest eligible for capitalisation is the actual interest costs incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned from depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds; or where funds are borrowed generally for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of interest eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying a weighted average interest rate on the 176 2023 Annual Report general borrowings to the weighted average of the excess of the cumulative expenditures on the asset over the expenditures on the asset funded by the specific borrowings. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is suspended abnormally by activities other than those necessary to get the asset ready for its intended use or sale, when the suspension is for a continuous period of more than 3 months. Borrowing costs incurred during these periods are recognised as an expense in profit or loss until the acquisition, construction or production is resumed. 24. Biological assets □ Applicable √ Not applicable 25. Oil and gas assets □ Applicable √ Not applicable 26. Intangible assets (1) Useful life, determination basis, estimation, amortization method or review procedures √ Applicable □ Not applicable Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives as follows: Items Useful Life Determination basis Land use rights 50 years The shorter of the term /expected useful life of the land use right Software 5-10 years The shorter of the servi ce life /expected useful life of software Trademarks 5-10 years The shorter of validity period/expected useful life of trademarks (2) Collection scope and relevant accounting treatment methods of research and development expenditure √ Applicable □ Not applicable The Group classifies the expenditures on an internal research and development project into expenditure on the research phase and expenditure on the development phase. Expenditure on the research phase is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Expenditure on the development phase is capitalised only when the Group can demonstrate all of the following: (i) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; (ii) the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (iii) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits (among other things, the Group can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the 177 2023 Annual Report intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset); (iv) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; and (v) the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during the development phase. Expenditure on the development phase which does not meet these above criteria is recognised in profit or loss when incurred. 27. Impairment of long-term assets √ Applicable □ Not applicable The Group determines the impairment of assets other than impairment of inventories, deferred income tax and financial assets, using the following methods: 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 and an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment at least at each year end, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired. Intangible assets that have not been ready for their intended use are tested for impairment each year. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. The Group estimates the recoverable amount on an individual basis unless it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the asset group to which the asset belongs. Identification of an asset group is based on whether major cash inflows generated by the asset group are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or asset groups. When the recoverable amount of an asset or asset group is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount by the Group. The reduction in the carrying amount is treated as an impairment loss and recognised in profit or loss. A provision for impairment loss of the asset is recognised accordingly. Once the above impairment loss is recognised, it cannot be reversed in subsequent accounting periods. 28. Long-term prepaid expenses √ Applicable □ Not applicable Long-term expenses to be apportioned are amortized using the straight-line method, and the amortization period is as follows: Items Amortization term Building decoration 36 months Leasehold Improvement 36 months Others 24 to 60 months 178 2023 Annual Report 29. Contract liabilities √ Applicable □ Not applicable The Company presents contract liabilities in the balance sheet based on the relationship between the performance of the contract obligations and the payment by the customer. A contractual liability is an obligation to transfer goods or service to a customer for consideration received or receivable from the customer, such as money that a business has received before transferring the promised goods or service. 30. Employee benefits Employee benefits refer to all forms of consideration or compensation other than share-based payments given by the Group in exchange for services rendered by employees or for termination of employment. Employee benefits include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits. (1) Accounting treatment of short-term salaries √ Applicable □ Not applicable The Company recognizes the actual short-term remuneration as a liability during the accounting period when employees provide services to the Group, and stated in the profit or loss or the cost of related assets. (2) Accounting treatment of post-employment benefits √ Applicable □ Not applicable The employees of the Group participate in a pension scheme and unemployment insurance managed by the local government, the corresponding expenses shall be included in the cost of related assets or profit or loss. (3) Dismission benefits □ Applicable √ Not applicable (4) Other long term employees' benefits □ Applicable √ Not applicable 31. Provisions √ Applicable □ Not applicable An obligation related to a contingency shall be recognised by the Group as a provision when the obligation is a present obligation of the Group, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits from the Group will be required to settle the obligation. Additionally, a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation, taking into account factors pertaining to a contingency such 179 2023 Annual Report as the risks, uncertainties and time value of money as a whole. 32. Share-based payment √ Applicable □ Not applicable A share-based payment is classified as either an equity-settled share-based payment or a cash-settled share-based payment. An equity-settled share-based payment is a transaction in which the Group receives services and uses shares or other equity instruments as consideration for settlement. An equity-settled share-based payment in exchange for services received from employees is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted to the employees. If such equity-settled share-based payment could vest immediately, related costs or expenses at an amount equal to the fair value on the grant date are recognised, with a corresponding increase in capital reserves; if such equity-settled share-based payment could not vest until the completion of services for a vesting period, or until the achievement of a specified performance condition, the Group at each balance sheet date during the vesting period recognises the services received for the current period as related costs and expenses, with a corresponding increase in capital reserves, at an amount equal to the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date, based on the best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The fair value is determined using the market price, please refer to "Section 10 XV". Where the terms of an equity-settled share-based award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payments, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an equity-settled share-based award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. This includes any award where non-vesting conditions within the control of either the Group or the employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and is designated as a replacement on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award. 33. Other financial instruments, such as preferred shares, perpetual bonds, etc. □ Applicable √ Not applicable 34. Revenue (1) Accounting policies used in revenue recognition and measurement by types of business √ Applicable □ Not applicable Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when the Group has fulfilled its performance obligations in the contracts, that is, when the customer obtains control of 180 2023 Annual Report relevant goods or services. Control of relevant goods or services refers to the ability to direct the use of the goods, or the provision of the services, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the goods or services. ① Contracts for the sale of goods When the Group delivers goods such as two-wheeled electric vehicles to customers, revenue is generally recognized at a point of time based on the following indicators, which include: the time of goods leave the factory for non-export sales, the time of goods are loaded on board for export sales, a present right to payment for goods, the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods, the transfer of legal title to goods, the transfer of physical possession of goods, the customer's acceptance of goods, the time of customer sign-off if the Group is responsible for transportation. The amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled as a result of the transfer of goods to a customer is determined as the transaction price in accordance with the terms of the contract and in combination with past business practices. Some contracts of the Group stipulate that when customers purchase more than a certain quantity of goods, they can enjoy a certain discount, which directly offsets the amount payable by customers when they purchase goods in the future. The Group makes the best estimate of the discount based on the expected value or the most likely amount, and the transaction price after estimating the discount is included in the transaction price to the extent that the transaction price after estimating the discount does not exceed the amount that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, and reestimates it at each balance sheet date. For sales with a right of return, the Group recognises the revenue in the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring control of the goods to the customer, and recognises the amount expected to be refunded as a result of the sales return as a refund liability. At the same time, an asset recognised for an entity’s right to recover goods from a customer on settling a refund liability is measured by reference to the carrying amount of the goods less any expected costs to recover the goods (including potential decreases in the value of the returned goods), that is, right-of-return assets, and recognised cost of sales based on the carrying amount of the transferred goods at the time of transfer of the goods less the net amount of the asset cost above. At each balance sheet date, the Group re-estimates the future sales return and remeasures the assets and liabilities above. The Group provides a warranty in connection with the sale of a good in accordance with the contract and the relevant laws and regulations, etc. For the purpose of an assurance-type warranty that provides the customer the assurance that the good complies with agreed-upon specifications, please refer to “Section 10 V.31”. ② Contracts for the rendering of services 181 2023 Annual Report The Group guarantees its performance obligations by providing after-sales service to customers. Because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's performance as the Group performs, the revenue is recognised over time only if the Group can reasonably measure its progress towards the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company uses the straight-line method and determines the progress of the services rendered on the basis of the time elapsed. If the progress towards the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation cannot be reasonably measured, but the Group expects to recover the costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligation, the revenue is recognised only to the extent of the costs incurred until such time that the Group can reasonably measure the progress towards the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. The amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled as a result of the transfer of services to a customer is determined as the transaction price in accordance with the terms of the contract and in combination with past business practices. The Group accounts for the consideration payable to a customer as a reduction of the transaction price, and recognises the reduction of revenue when (or as) the later of the recognition of relevant revenue and the payment (or promised payment) of the consideration to a customer, unless the payment to the customer is in exchange for a distinct good or service that the customer transfers to the Group. (2) Different revenue recognition and measurement methods caused by the adoption of different business models for similar businesses □ Applicable √ Not applicable 35. Contract cost assets √ Applicable □ Not applicable The Group’s contract cost assets include the costs to obtain and fulfil a contract and are classified as inventories, other current assets and other non-current assets by liquidity. The Group recognises as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Group expects to recover those costs, unless the amortisation period of the asset is one year or less. Other than the costs which are capitalised as inventories, fixed assets and intangible assets, etc., costs incurred to fulfil a contract with a customer are capitalised as an asset if all of the following criteria are met: (1) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract, including direct labor, direct materials, overheads (or similar expenses), costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer and other costs that are incurred only because an entity entered into the contract; (2) the costs generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future; and (3) the costs are expected to be recovered. 182 2023 Annual Report The contract cost asset is amortised and charged to profit or loss on a systematic basis that is consistent with the pattern of the revenue to which the asset related is recognised. The Group accrues provisions for impairment and recognises impairment losses to the extent that the carrying amount of a contract cost asset exceeds: (1) the remaining amount of consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates; less (2) the costs that are expected to be incurred to transfer those related goods or services. 36. Government grants √ Applicable □ Not applicable Government grants are recognised when all attaching conditions will be complied with, and the grants will be received. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or receivable. Asset-related government grants are recognised when the government document designates that the government grants are used for constructing or forming long-term assets. If the government document is inexplicit, the Company should make a judgement based on the basic conditions to obtain the government grants, and recognises them as asset-related government grants if the conditions are to form long-term assets through construction or other method. Otherwise, the government grants should be income-related. The Company's government grants are subject to the gross method. A government subsidy related to income, which is used to compensate the related costs or losses in the future period, is recognised as deferred income, and is recorded into the profit or loss or to offset the relevant costs during the period when the related costs and expenses or losses are recognised; costs or losses incurred in compensation is directly recorded into the profit or loss or offset the relevant costs. A government grant relating to an asset shall be offset against the carrying amounts of relevant assets, or recognised as deferred income and amortised in profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset by annual instalments in a systematic and rational way (however, a government grant measured at a nominal amount is recognised directly in profit or loss). Where the assets are sold, transferred, retired or damaged before the end of their useful lives, the rest of the remaining deferred income is released to profit or loss for the period in which the relevant assets are disposed of. 37. Deferred income tax asset/deferred income tax liability √ Applicable □ Not applicable For temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, and temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of items, the tax bases of which can be determined according to related tax laws for tax purposes, but which have not been recognised as assets and 183 2023 Annual Report liabilities, deferred taxes are provided using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except: (1) when the taxable temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, or an asset or liability in an individual transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss, and the initial recognition of assets and liabilities does not result in equal taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences, and the initial recognition of assets and liabilities does not result in equal taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences; and (2) in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax losses and any unused tax credits. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized, except: (1) when the deductible temporary difference arises from 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; and (2) in respect of the deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will be reversed in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized in the future. At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, in accordance with the requirements of tax laws. The measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover the assets or settle the liabilities. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available in future periods to allow the deferred tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the balance sheet date and are recognised 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 deferred tax liabilities are offset if and only if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities, and the 184 2023 Annual Report deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current 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. 38. Leases √ Applicable □ Not applicable Judgement basis and accounting method for lessees to simplify short-term leases and leases of low-value assets √ Applicable □ Not applicable The Group considers a lease that, at the commencement date of the lease, has a lease term of 12 months or less, and does not contain any purchase option as a short-term lease; and a lease for which the individual underlying asset with a lower value when it is new as a lease of low-value assets. The Group does not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and low-value asset leases. The Group recognises lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets in the costs of the related asset or profit or loss on a straight-line basis 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 recognises lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Right-of-use assets At the commencement date of the lease term, the Group recognises its right to use the leased asset during the lease term as a right-of-use asset, initially measured at cost. The cost of right-of-use assets includes: the initial measurement amount of lease liabilities; lease payments made on or before the commencement date of the lease term (net of amounts relating to lease incentives received); initial direct expenses incurred by the lessee; the costs that the lessee expects to incur to dismantle and remove the leased asset, restore the site where the leased asset is located, or restore the leased asset to the state agreed in the lease terms. If the Group remeasures lease liabilities due to changes in lease payments, the carrying amount of right-of-use assets is adjusted accordingly. The Group subsequently depreciates right-of-use assets using the straight-line method. If it can be reasonably determined that the ownership of the leased asset will be obtained at the expiration of the lease term, the Group shall make depreciation for the remaining service life of the leased asset. If it is impossible to reasonably determine that ownership of the leased asset can be obtained at the end of the lease term, the Group shall make depreciation during the shorter of the lease term and the remaining useful life of the 185 2023 Annual Report leased asset. Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease term, the Group recognises the present value of the lease payments that have not yet been paid as a lease liability, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments include fixed and substantially fixed payments after deducting lease incentives, variable lease payments that depend on an index or ratio, amounts expected to be payable based on residual value of the guarantee, and also the exercise price of the purchase option or the amount payable to exercise the termination option, provided that the Group is reasonably certain that the exercise of the option or the lease term reflects the exercise of the termination option by the Group. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the interest rate implicit in the lease as the discount rate; If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate shall be used as the discount rate. The Group calculates the interest expense of the lease liability for each period of the lease term at a fixed periodic interest rate and includes it in profit or loss for the current period, unless otherwise specified as being included in the cost of related assets. Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred, unless otherwise specified as being included in the cost of the relevant asset. After the commencement date of the lease term, the Group increases the carrying amount of the lease liability upon recognition of interest and decreases the carrying amount of the lease liability upon payment of lease payments. The Group remeasures lease liabilities at the present value of the changed lease payments when there is a change in the amount of substantially fixed payments, a change in the amount expected to be payable in the residual value of the guarantee, a change in the index or rate used to determine the lease payments, a change in the assessment or actual exercise of the purchase option, renewal option or termination option. Classification criteria and accounting method for leases as lessors √ Applicable □ Not applicable 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 the lessor of operating lease Rental income under an operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, through profit or loss. Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of lease receivables are charged to profit or loss as incurred. Initial direct costs are capitalised and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income, through profit or loss. 186 2023 Annual Report 39. Other Important Accounting Policy and Accounting Estimates √ Applicable □ Not applicable 1. Share repurchase The consideration and transaction costs paid for the repurchase of its own equity instruments reduce shareholders' equity. Except for share-based payment, the issuance (including refinancing), repurchase, sale or cancellation of own equity instruments are treated as changes in equity. 2. Fair value measurement The Group measures receivables financing at fair value at each balance sheet date. Fair value refers to the price that market participants can receive from selling an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction on the measurement date. For assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements, the level of fair value shall be determined according to the lowest level input value that is important for the fair value measurement as a whole: Level 1 inputs value, the unadjusted quotation in the active market of the same assets or liabilities that can be obtained on the measurement date; Level 2 inputs value, inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are directly or indirectly observable for the relevant asset or liability; Level 3 inputs value, unobservable inputs for related assets or liabilities. At each balance sheet date, the Group reassesses the assets and liabilities recognised in the financial statements that are measured at fair value on an ongoing basis to determine whether there is a transition between fair value measurement levels. 3. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future. (1) Judgments In applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: 1 Classification of investment properties and owner-occupied properties The Group determines whether the property held meets the definition of investment property and establishes relevant standards in making judgments. The Group classifies property held for rental or capital appreciation, or both, as investment property. Therefore, the Group considers whether the manner in which the property generates cash flows is largely independent of other assets held by the Group. Some properties are partly used to earn rent or capital appreciation, and the remainder is used to produce goods, provide 187 2023 Annual Report services or manage operations. If the portion used to earn rent or capital appreciation can be sold or leased separately, the Group accounts for that portion separately. If not, the property is classified as an investment property only if the part used for the production of goods, the provision of services or the operation and management is not significant. The Group makes a separate judgment on an individual property basis when determining whether the ancillary services are significant enough to make the property ineligible for recognition as an investment property. (2) 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 the future accounting periods, are described below. ① Impairment of financial instruments Commencing from January 1, 2019, the Company has adopted the expected credit loss model to assess the impairment of financial instruments. The Group is required to perform significant judgement and estimation and take into account all reasonable and supportable information, including forward-looking information. When making such judgements and estimates, the Group infers the expected changes in the debtor's credit risk based on historical repayment data combined with economic policies, macroeconomic indicators, industry risks and other factors. The different estimates may impact the impairment assessment, and the provision for impairment may also not be representative of the actual impairment loss in the future. ② Impairment of non-current assets other than financial assets (other than goodwill) The Group assesses whether there are any indications of impairment for all non-current assets other than financial assets at the balance sheet date. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually and at other times when such an indication exists. Other non-current assets other than financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indications that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from it. The calculation of the fair value less costs of disposal based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the assets. When the calculations of the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or asset group are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or asset group and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. 188 2023 Annual Report ③ Provision of sales rebates and rewards The Group applies the sales rebate and incentive policy to the dealers. According to the relevant stipulations in the distribution agreement, with reference to the completion of the agreed assessment indicators by the dealers, sales rebates and incentives are estimated and accrued at the end of each year. 40. Changes in significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (1) Change in accounting policies √ Applicable □ Not applicable Unit: Yuan (RMB) Contents and reasons for changes in accounting policies Name of reporting Amount items significantly affected affected Interpretation No.16 of Accounting Standards for Deferred tax assets - Business Enterprises issued in 2022 stipulates that the and deferred tax provisions on exemption from initial recognition of liabilities deferred income tax shall not apply to individual transactions that are not business combinations, do not affect accounting profits or taxable income (or deductible losses) at the time of transactions, and the initially recognized assets and liabilities lead to equal taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences. With effect from 1 January 2023, the Group changes the taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities to the corresponding deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets for lease transactions initially recognized as lease liabilities and included in right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease term. In accordance with the transition requirements, the Group has adjusted the above transactions that occurred between the beginning of the earliest period in which the interpretation was first applied to the presentation of the financial statements and the date of the change in accounting policy. Other notes None (2) Change of Significant Accounting Estimates □ Applicable √ Not applicable 189 2023 Annual Report (3) First-time implementation of new accounting standards or interpretations of standards, etc. from 2023 involves adjustments to the financial statements as of the beginning of the year of first-time implementation. □ Applicable √ Not applicable 41.

Risks Related to Financial Instruments 1. Risks of financial instruments √ Applicable □ Not applicable The Company is exposed to various risks of financial instruments in its daily activities, mainly including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's main financial instruments include currency funds, accounts receivable, receivables financing, notes payable and accounts payable. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the risk management strategies adopted by the Company to mitigate these risks are described below. (1) Credit risk The Company only deals with recognized and reputable third parties. In accordance with the Company's policy, a credit review is required for all customers who require credit transactions. In addition, the Company continuously monitors the balance of accounts receivable to ensure that the Company is not exposed to significant bad debt risks. For transactions not settled in the functional currency of the relevant business unit, the Company does not provide credit transaction conditions unless specifically approved by the Company's credit control department. As the counterparties of monetary funds, financial assets held for trading, receivables financing, other non-current assets and certificates of deposit due within one year are banks with good reputation and high credit rating, these financial instruments have low credit risk. The Company's other financial assets include accounts receivable and other receivables. The credit risk of these financial assets arises from the default of the counterparty, and the maximum risk exposure is equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Since the Company only deals with recognized and reputable third parties, no collateral is required. Credit risk is centrally managed by customer/counterparty, geographical region and industry. There is no significant concentration of credit risk within the Company as the 272 2023 Annual Report Company's accounts receivable are widely dispersed across the customer base. For the quantitative data of the Company's credit risk exposure arising from notes receivable, accounts receivable and other receivables, please refer to "Section VII. 5 Accounts receivable" and "Section VII. 9 Other receivables". (2) Liquidity risk The Company's objective is to use a variety of financing means to maintain the balance between sustainability and flexibility of financing. The Company finances its operations through funds generated from operations and borrowings. The following table summarizes the maturity analysis of financial liabilities based on undiscounted contractual cash flows: December 31, 2023 1 to 2 Financial liabilities Within 1 year 2 to 3 years Over 3 years Total years 6,032,204,440. 6,032,204,44 Notes payable 66 0.66 2,459,299,045. 2,459,299,04 Trade payables 99 5.99 628,111,216.1 628,111,216.

Such risks arise from sales or purchases made by an operating unit in a currency other than its functional currency. As the amount of the Company's foreign currency business is not significant, the Company believes that changes in foreign exchange rates will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. 2.
